Russia Enters the League
QUINCY SCOTT had an effective cartoon the other morn
ing in the Ogn showing the Russian bear donning bour
goU clothes to enter the "society" of nations represented
by the league at Geneva. Ralph Barnes in his speech here
confirmed the change in Russian attitude under Stalin. No
'longer is soviet Russia entranced by the old ideal of world
jrevolution. It is quite content to work out its internal pol
icies of state socialism, which involve numerous retreats
from pure communism ; and to let the rest of the world work
out its problems in its own way.
It took the Japanese menace on the Siberian frontier to
complete the Russian return to "nationalism." Since the
Manchurian incident of 1931 Russia has been just another
political power. She is consolidating her position in the west
by non-aggregation pacts with her immediate neighbors and
is virtually returning to the "status quo ante" of 1914 by an
alliance with France.
European politics at present embraces the establishment
of a "cordon sanitaire" about nazi-Germany instead of about
Russia as in the first bolshevik years. It contemplates the is
olation of Hitler. Austria is to be neutralized, like Switzer
land. This is preferred to the restoration of the Hapsburgs
in Vienna because of the opposition of Czecho-Slovakia which
fears restoration would inspire a revival of the old Austro
Hungarian empire. An attempt to establish an "eastern Lo
carno", or general treaty of peace is not succeeding because
Poland refuses to sign. The "little entente" group continues
under French influence however. In fact, in the developments
of recent months'France has rapidly regained prestige in east
central Europe which she lost at the time of socialist riots in
Vienna and her own riots in Paris with threat of revolution.
The abortive nazi putsch in Austria, Hitler's bungling in
handling his Vienna connections, and his botch of murders
of June 30 have caused the nazi power to- wrane everywhere
outside of the reich.
It remains to be seen what will happen now that Russia
is a member of the league of nations. The league may become
another "holy alliance" to preserve the Versailles settlement.
That seems most probable. It is too much to expect that Rus
sia, now gone "nationalist", will do much to make the league
potent for disarmament and world peace. She appears rather
to solicit support on the west while she watches Japan's
moves on the east.
Fool and His Money
ALL the new securities act fix-ups didn't prevent another
bunch of suckers being bilked for a million or so by
schemers who said they had a plan to refine oil without the
cracking process. They had a process of refining the suckers
by the cracking process instead. The stockholdrs, alias suck
ers, are now angry and racing to the court house which is the
usual morgue for defunct concerns.
A man with some money to invest is between the devil
and the deep blue sea. If he puts it in something like Pratt
& Whitney and cleans up a million per cent he gets branded
as a thief and a scoundrel. If he puts it in Cox Process and
loses 100 per centhe is posted as a poor sap who deserved to
lose what he had.
Once we heard about "six per cent and safety"; but so
many six per cents showed mildew it is no longer safe to say
what is safe. A good danger signal however is where a fellow
"guarantees" you fabulous profits on your investment.
Lumber Price-Fixing
PORTLAND has a group of lumbermen who will go down
in history as rugged individualists. The big operators
there are urging elimination of the price-fixing provisions of
theJumber code. The Portland group have long been known
as non-cooperators. They. faced competition from all the
world and seemed to like it. Their acceptance of NRA was a
big concession or them. For a long time they were not mem
bers of the West Coast Lumbermen's association, dominant
in the industry, f
Perhaps they would be willing to continue price-fixing,
if the prices were being respected. But lumber mills have
been busy borrowing chisels from other crafts to pare down
price?; go the Portland operators think it better to end the
hypocrisy of code prices and go back to free competition.
They say prevailing practice "places a premium on dishon
esty and a penalty on code observance." Quite true ; and this
result was apparent from the time price-fixing was proposed.
; Priming the Pump
FOR 18 months the new deal has been busily engaged in
priming the pump. Its formula was to spend ourselves
into prosperity. Comments the Satevepost :
"The pump ha been primed with billions, but when the
priming slacks. It shows signs 'of sacking air, perhaps because
the wrong pump is being primed. That pump simply brings up
what is poured into it from the generous buckets of government."
But no one can accuse the Roosevelt bucket brigade of
not trying. And Morgenthau seems to think the supply of
water for the priming process is inexhaustible.
A firm of Boston bond lawyers holds a Portland bond issue is
illegal because the plans were not definite bo the voters knew what
they were voting for. How is it possible to make plans so Portland
Toters would know, what they are votings for? All they want to know
is, is it bonds? then they vote yes.
Cubans have a new way of taking It out on editors. Instead of
shooting them they take them out and dose them with castor oil. A
( Havana afternoon paper had to suspend while two of its staff mem
ber went off for the cure. Speaking of castor oil, let it never be said
that an editor "cant take It".
The country sets a new warning that our oil reserves will be
used np In 15 years. The first time we heard that story was about
20 years ago. Just wait till the drill at Steiwer dome punctures the
oil strata and then they can move np their estimates again.

IT IS sare to say the majority of
infant ailments can be traced to the
wrong food or Improper feeding:. Of
first importance, of course, is the
quality of 'milk

there is sure to
be trouble. There

this matter.

general symptoms
will appear, too.
certainly if there is serious poison
ing of the system.
Infected Food
But It isn't alone chemical poison
ing1 or poisoning with germs, vre need
fear. These are bad enough, of
course, but infected food may carry
the eggs of various worms which will
hah and thrive within the body.
Of the several typeo of such worms
three forms are moet commonly
found in young children. They are
known as tape worm, the round
worm, and the thread worm.
There are several symptoms chil
dren sometimes have which we con
sider as among tiie chief signs of the
presence of worms. This is the case
no matter what type of worm may
be responsible for the trouble.
One of these signs is touching the
nose. When a young child keeps
fussing with the nose you must be
suspicious of this disability.
Another common symptom is
grinding of the teeth. It is surpris
ing how much noi.o a sleeping child
can make t-y rubbing the teeth to
gether. Usual Symptoms
ItcWng and smarting and burning
at thevent are evidences of this form
of infection. The child cannot resist
the impulse to scratch and rub the
parts. These efCorts will attract the
attention of the parent.
The si&ns X have mentioned are
thoc found in older children. Ia
Infants, long before the age when
teeth appear, there are other eymp.
toms, equally suspicious. Loss of.
appetite, disturbed digestion, tossing
In bed and constant restlessness
these may be evidences of worms.
Convulsions, toot are not uncommon. -
Tou must bear In mind that these
symptoms do not prove the worms
are there. They merely suggest the
possibility of their presence.
When worms or parts of worms are
discovered an doubt is removed.
Then your doctor should be asked to
advise the treatment. He will be able
to remove the trouble.

When Oregon went to war
with 143.72 in her treasury,
no soldiers, nor any credit:
S U
(Continuing from yesterday:)
No man in tjhe Oregon of that day
was more capable in every way
for such a' mission. He was a
hardy pioneer, a surveyor, cul
tured, a statesman, and his pa
triotism overtopped all partisan
feeling. He accepted the trust in
stantly; James M. Fulkerson, as
sistant commissary for Polk coun
ty, made the purchases for the
CaUfornia expedition. The Apple
gate settlement was then in Polk
county, near the Rickreall, north
west of the site of Dallas.
Feb. Z, he wrote to General
Joel Palmer: "The party from the
Institute (as Salem was then
called) with our blankets have
not arrived, but we start in the
morning, blankets or not."
a "a
Sixteen men made up the expe
dition: Jesse Applegate, leader of
the expedition; Levi Scott, captain
of the escort, James M. Fields,
John Minto, Walter and Thomas
Montelth, James Lemon, William
Gilliam, George F. Hibbler, A. E.
Robinson, J. M. Scott, William
J. J. Scott, Solomon Tetherow, Jo
seph Waldo, James Campbell and
E. C. Dice. (There is a note in
Mrs. Victor's "Indian Wars,"
reading: "Applegate and Minto
gave only 16 names, while the
muster roll gives 18. Minto says
he went as a substitute for Evana;
and others may have failed after
enlisting. John W. Owens, men
tioned by Applegate, went with
the army (the citizen army to
Walilatpu, and there Joined
Meek's expedition.")
S S
They were entering upon a
hazardous undertaking, brave and
true men as they were, and sev
eral of them, too, like Levi Scott,
Solomon Tetherow, Jesse Apple
gate and John Minto, experien
ced frontiersmen.
S
There were no settlements
south of Lane county. The coun
try was soaked with rain except
in elevations great enough to turn
the rain to snow. The route lay
through regions roamed over by
the Molalla, Rogue River and
Klamath Indians and men had
to stand guard every night to pre
vent their horses being stolen.
But the 16 brave men refused to
regard themselves as martyrs,
and they took enjoyment in spy
ing out the land which later .was
to flow with milk and honey.
V S
"Around the evening camp
fires," wrote John Minto, "we lis
tened to the sage utterances of
our chief (Applegate), whose dis
courses on political and natural
science were valued entertain
ment, varying with song3 of Tom
Moore,, sung by Fields and myself
and echoed In the hearts of all
for. who has written songs like the
Irish bard?"
Two weeks were spent In reach
ing the foothills of the Siskiyou
range of mountains; and here de
feat if cot worse faced them. The
horses could not be .taken over
the unusual depth of snow be
tween the valley of the Rogue and
Klamath lake. The, situation be
came grave. Here are extracts
from a letter written by Jesse Ap
plegate years afterward to Mrs.
France FuUer Victor:
S V
"To give ap the expedition and
return without further effort' was
not to be thought of. Abandon
the horses and outfit, and contin
ue the journey on foot we could
not, for many of the party were
unequal to so laborious an under-

taking; and to attempt to take
them with us would so delay the
party as to cause us all to die to
gether, thereby defeating the pur
pose of the expedition. ... It was
urged that half our number, or
even 10, would be too small a
party to stand guard on such a
march, unless Scott (Levi Scott)
and his son John were with them.
"I believed it possible, with Te
therow, the two Scotts, and the
two Monteiths, to run the gaunt
let of the Indians, overcome the
natural obstacles and some one
of the six reach Sutter's fort
and If they thereby saved Oregon
from the tomahawk and scalping
knife of the savage, the survivors,
if any, would deserve well of their
country, and those who fell would
die in the performance of a high,
holy and patriotic duty. But I
could not have these chosen com
panions. . . .
"When a division of the com
pany was effected, the two Scotts,
Waldo, Campbell, Dice, Hibbler
and (I think) Owens, were to re
turn with the horses. Tetherow,
the two Monteiths, Lemon, Minto,
Robinson, Fields and myself were
to continue on foot. . . .
"The only thing known by any
of the party about snowshoes was
that I had once seen a pair used
by the northern Indians for going
on loose snow. We aimed to im
itate, these shoes, but could get
nothing in the vicinity of our
camp better than willow for the
bows; nor for weaving the meshes
than string cut from old rawhide,
which on trial were found alto
gether too weak to sustain our
weight upon the snow. Each man
had a pack of 10 days' provisions
of flour and bacon, some salt, am
munition, a blanket, a pair of ex
tra socks, a heavy rifle and a pis
tol, all of the weight of 50
pounds the packs being carried
on our backs. . . .
"At length alt were ready, and
I led the way as guide. Our route
lay up Jennie creek, about a mile
north of the present road to the
lake country. Through all that
long day, as often as X looked be
hind me to see what progress my
companions were making, I never
once saw them all at once at the
same time; some were slowly and
painfully making their way, oth
ers with only a head or leg above
the snow, and'others entirely hid
den under it. ludicrous as the ac
cidents sometimes were, the situ
ation was far too serious for
laughter or even conversation; it
was a funeral procession where
each mourner expected himself to
be' a corpse.
"The February sun shone
bright through the day and soft
ened the snow on top; but as
night approached it became in
tensely cold. A clump of dead as
pens furnished us firewood, and a
huge Lambert pine broke away a
little of the keenness of the wind
from our camp; but it was too
cold to sleep in our single blank
ets; and around that stick fire
were discussed subjects the grav
est that ever fall to the lot of man
to consider,
"The last to arrive in camp was
James Fields. He was a large, ra
ther fleshy man, weighing over
200 pounds. As soon as the du
ties of the camp were completed.
Mr. Fields addressed the expedi
tion to the following effect:
" 'It is my painful duty, gentle
men, to announce that I can ac
company yon no further on this
expedition. It has been only by
the assistance I have received
from others, and the fortunate
crusting of the trail this evening,
that I am able to camp with you
tonight, sot two miles from the
place of starting. It is impossible
for me to accomplish the remain
ing 20 miles of snow that we know
lies before us on this mountain. I

this walking expedition, not so
much because of the loss of my

Howard was obliged to spend
Christinas day with bis parents but
oa Christmas eve he and Caroline
put op a tree ia the house on Edge
Street and festooned it with silver
and hung it with blue lights. There
were masses of white and yellow
chrysanthemums in tall glass vases
that showed the long stems, wreaths
of hemlock and holly, and just
where Howard wanted it a bunch
of mistletoe.
The hoose was gay and festive in
appearance on Christmas morn
when Caroline and her father sat
down to a breakfast of waffles and
honey, but their hearts were heavy.
Suddenly Caroline put down her
pork, pushed her chair back and
flew around to her father. He held
her like a child while she sobbed out
her loneliness.
Presently, with Mrs. Stevenson,
they gathered np their gifts at the
foot of the tree and opened them.
There was a wristwatch for Caro
lina from Howard, and a vest
watch, and chain, for her father, a
camel's hair sweater for Mrs.
Stevenson, and all the small things
that Caroline had made for Philip.
Prom him there was a surprise for
her her mother's wedding ring.
Caroline made him wish it oa her
finger jost for the day.
He was, for a moment, the old
Philip of pride and distinguished
bearing as he slipped the platinum
band ever his daughter's slender
finger and bent his lips t it with
tk miA in Ma heart that it should
bring her more happiness than it
had brought to ner motner.
Tbera ware more ttresents to un
wrap. Caroline'p hand-bag for
Mrs. Stevenson, a box of child
snade gifts from the twins, a knitted
scarf and beret and hemstitched
handkerchiefs from Fern. And then
there was left a square box with a
rrH from Mrs. Stuart and Malcolm.
It was addressed to the Rati edges.
and Philip opened it.
Caroline was conscience stricken
when she saw that it was a Christ
mas cake that obviously Mrs. Stuart
had herself baked for teem.
Her father, noting her expres
sion, said: "Didn't you sena any
tli in Caroline t"
Caroline shook her head. "Only
a card. I've scarcely seen them for
weeks. I know I ought to be
ashamed after all their kindness
and I ml"
Mr. Rutledge glanced about the
room. "You might take over thoSe
chrysanthemums," he suggested,
nodding toward the largest vaseful.
"And this box of glace f ruita,"
Caroline added, piajung up one of
Howard's gifts. Wrap some paper
around the flower stems zor me,
please," she said to Mrs. Stevenson.
"I'll ro riht over."
There was an eagerness In her
manner that was slightly perplex
ing to her father. Caroline herself
was unaware of it. She hurried into
the hall and got a coat from the
closet, but she did not stop for hat
or gloves, although it was snowing
heavily.
She was almost hidden behind the
flowers when she rang the Stuarts'
doorbell. Malcolm answered, mer
rv Christmas!" she cried gaily.
Then. "Oh this box under my arm.
T.. -Ttnnnt Talro 1 rrniolrt"
Malcolm reached out and took the
box: "Come in." he invited, "if
vou're reallv there. I can't see you.
Caroline still held the flowers as
she stepped across the threshold.
Malcolm closed the door behind her
and turned to take them. The day
was darkening; he had snapped on
the hall light. It glistened on the
wedding ring as Caroline extended
her hands.
"Why. what's the matter"
Malcolm had uttered a smothered
sound, expressive of unhappy sur
prise. But he smiled as he took the
Sowers irom uaroune s arms ana
said: "Is it just Merry Christmas,
or Merry Christmas and much hap
piness?" "Well," Caroline replied, not yet
realizing what he meant, "it isn't
really a merry Christmas, Malcolm,
or a very happy one, either, in our
house. But you and your mother
were very sweet to remember us. I
hope it is a happier one for you."
Tm sorry," Malcolm said softly.
"Mother's in the kitchen. Shsll I
tell her you're here, or will you
come with me?"
"IH come with you," Caroline said
quickly. "I love your mother's
kitchen. It always smells of spice or
something- nice."
own life, as that by overrating
my own ability to perform it I oc
cupy the place of some better
man, where men are already too
few. Before I joined this expe
dition in the WiUamette valley I
fully understood the gravity of
the undertaking.
" 'Against the performance of
so great an object I weighed my
own life as nothing; in fact, if
only one of my party should reach
the end of the Journey, and the
rest fall by the way, the object of
the expedition would be cheaply
obtained.
" 'My loss will, I know. Increase
your own dangers -and hardships;
but I yield to inexorable circum
stances. I will get off the snow in
the morning while the trail ia
hard, and take my chances alone
with famine and the savages. I
am not so pusillanimous as to die
in the camp, or throw my life
away without an effort.
"That speech was received in
profound silence. No man ven
tured to express what Was in his
heart, lest he should be alone.
When the silence was broken, Te
therow alone remained firm to the
expedition."

There are days that are gloomy

Hearts yearn for the joys that are
past. -
The bravest effort comes short at
the mark
In despair we cry, how long, how
long can it last?
The compelling urge that drives
us on to do
Vanishes completely before the ef
fort is made.
Goals that we sought fade from
our view
Until forced by hunger we ask for
aid.
How oft have wo joined in singing
"Our Country 'Tie of Thee";
Deep yearnings have called us o'er
plain and dell.
We have dreamed of the land of
the noble free
But our fate has been the "Minto
Hotel.''
There are codes so many and a
wonderful NRA
Why should toll or labor cause a
worry for me?
Two hundred dollars per month,
did I hear you say,
If I were wilUng to go on a spend

The clouds are lifting, the sky

Public relief is really not so bad

colm's. She saw that a shadow had
come over his face, and thereafter
she forced herself to stop thinking
of Howard and devote herself to the
occasion. . .
When it was over, ana tne Stuarts
were departing, Malcolm took her
hands to say goodnight. Caroline
could have cried over the way his
fintren held to hers, as though if he
let them go he never would find them
again. But his voice neia notnmg
more betraying than a slight catch
as he wished her many more joyioi
Cbristmases La the future.
When he was gone she felt in
describably lonely. Perhaps they
would not be together again, except
for a few moments of passing con
tact. In a few weeks she would be
Howard's bride, go away on a wed
dins trip. She might not return to
South Tows after that. And Mal
colm had been a dear friend. She
could never forget the fun they'd .
had. Yes, it had been f un in spite
of everything it had been fun to
ride on his motorcycle, to lunch with
him in parks and go to the movies
with him. And the U how far
away that seemed I She wondered
if Malcolm had given up his studies
too. She hated herself for being too
absorbed in her own affairs even to
ask him that. She felt like going to
him and begging him to talk abont
himself, tell her that it wasn't true
that all she had brought him was
unhappiness. She wanted to know
that he would eo OB with his shining
hopes and ambition, that he would
not waste precious time just because
one girl in millions had sot fallen
in love with him.
But of course she did not go. And
at some time between eleven and
twelve that tUht Howard tele
phoned to her. He had slipped out
of the Duns worth family party for
a little fresh air and exercise, as he
told his mother, but ia reality to
call Caroline.
He told her he had missed hei
dreadfully, had thought of her every
moment, and would never let him
self be separated from her another
Christmas day.
Caroline fell asleep assured of his
love, and happy in the belief that
she still loved, him more than any
one else.

making most of her own trousseau
with Mrs. Stevenson's help, fighting
her father's temptations with him.
encouraging him, driving down for
a week-end with Fern when the baby
came, trying to give Howard all the
time she could, and still working on
at the factory.
Even her father thought this was
far-fetched, but he was silent on the
subject, because he had not yet
found a way to earn money. He
wanted to give Caroline her moth
er's portrait for a wedding present
and so he would not seU it, although
it had been painted by a good artist
and would nave brought a hand
some sum in any market. The house
he planned to put on the market and
repay, with all it brought him above
the mortgage, his debt to Howard,
and certain others. In the mean
time Caroline's small salary was
practically all they had for their
living expenses. And Caroline was
determined that Howard should not
feed them. It rankled still in her
mind that it was his father who
had taken the factory away from
them. If she must accept Howard's
support for her father, she must,
but not until they were married.
Howard had given up trying to per
suade her to a different course.
Gwendolyn did not communicate
with him when she was free but he
received a copy of her decree from
his own lawyers. He had talked his
father into granting him a vaca
tion, saying he wanted to be out of
town while the gossips had their
way with the news. And he couldn't,
he declared, play the sorrowing ex
husband for Mr. Hoffmann's benefit
and get away with it, because he
was glad it was over and he wasn't
married any longer to a frizzle
headed nitwit.
