Defenceless Columbia
THE C003 Bay Times is not alarmed a3 Astoria is over the
prospect t an enemy fleet crossing the bar and shelling
the city. Speaking of the recent military manou vers, at
the "defenceless" mouth of the Columbia the Times says:
The people at Astoria have made Colombia river defense a
community project and we have no thought that they will aban
don it. Nor will the national guardsmen, whose business It la to
conjure up weird possibilities' and with the imagination of a
fiction writer, fight battles which nerer will occur.
"The fact remains that the lower Columbia rlrer Is not in
danger of invasion, that Astorlans need not prepare to be ref
ugees and that the United "States will not be repaid for any mil
lions she invests in defenses at the mouth of the Columbia."
Of course Marshf ield 'is in a very different position than
Astoria. No great waterway makes a highway into the in
, terior. No city of 300,000 population is located 90 miles in
land along the watercourse. In short the strategic impor
tance of Coos Bay is not to be compared with that of the
mouth of the Columbia. I
At the same time the Times is correct in deprecating the
possibility of attack off the Columbia in the present and pros
pective state of world affairs and the attainment of military
mechanics. No fleet could successfully operate many thou-
sand miles from its base and consolidate any victories. An
. enemy airfleet would not be impeded by; shore batteries at
- the river mouth because it could easily make some other en
; trance.'. ' . ; ' ' - . . (- :
Of course the military mind conjures hostiles behind
every hazel bush, and the naval mind sees enemy ships
steaming just off-shore. So it doesn't take much to get the
people all jittery over the lack of defenses on the lower Co
lumbia. The Statesman entertains no illusions about peace,
but we can't get excited because the river mouth isn't heav
ily armed. Peacock spit is still there.
Meeting Competition i
CHANCELLOR HUNTER served notice on the board of
higher education Monday that Oregon would have to
meet competition in order to retain members of its facil
ities in higher institutions. He referred to the fact that many
had been attracted to other schools by offers of better com
pensation and that, others would go if no increases were al
lowed them. Thereupon the board acted in some individual
cases in order to retain their services. !
Such piecemeal action contains an element of injustice
against those of equal attainments who do not receive an in
- crease. The board will have to act as soon as it can to make
more complete restoration of salaries. The board of course
has no funds of its own; which simply means'the state must
act to provide sufficient funds. 1 i t
At the same time Oregon should not get panicky over
loss of teachers. Greater occasion for concern would be the
failure of, any faculty members here to get calls elsewhere.
That would be proof that our men and women were not want
ed. It is something of a compliment to Oregon that
ether universities do find instructors and professors of high
attainment whom they hope to lure away.
Oregon should realize two things : first, that it is not a
wealthy state and so, in maintaining two major institutions,
it cannot compete in salary offers with richer and larger in
stitution in other states. Second, that a reasonable amount of
change acts as a leaven in a university faculty. As a matter
of justice, as well as because of competition, Oregon must
move toward restoring faculty salaries; but the state of pub
lic and private wealth does set limits on 1 expenditures here
for even so worthy a purpose as higher education.
Slow Bombers; Swift Pursuers U
GOL. CHARLES A. LINDBERGH withj Mrs. Lindbergh is
now on a trip to Germany, flying over from England
where they are now domiciled. Col. Lindbergh broke his
custom of refraining from speaking, and addressed the Ger
man aviators very frankly. The colonel j evidently has the
same abhorrence of war as his late father, who as congress
man from Minnesota voted against our entrance into the
world war. In his plain speech the world's most famous flier
said that "we who are in aviation" have a responsibility to
Lv see that aircraft do not get out of hand, that these machines
. designed as instruments of peace do not become machines
" for the destruction of humanity. j
uoi. Landbergh reemphasized his stand in a toast at the
officers' casino of the Richtofen pursuit squadron, when he
.responded: . . . - ' ;;, : j .
"To bombers, may they fly slower; to pursuit planes, may
they fly swifter." i ; !
Overlooking the bad grammar, the world well may ap
plaud the sentiment. His meaning was that the bombers as
agents of destruction should be retarded; and that pursuit
planes, as wasps to; beat back the bombers should be more
effective. In short, use the aircraft for advancing and not
destroying civilization. j .
It was a significant toast at an important gathering.

Inventors and machinists are

open up. especially in the banana belt of the upper midwest where
the mercury has been cracking over-a hundred with pain&il regu
larity this summer. Probably they will get the device worked out In
time. We recall the. first vacuum cleaning litfit had a plant driven
by a gas engine in the basement of the house.! with pipes or tubes
leading to different floors qr rooms. It must have cost several hun

Judge Elmer Cook of West Salem Isn't going to let District
Judge Olson of Portland get ahead of him in laying on punishment
which comes perilously close to the "cruel and unusual." Olson sent
a young chap to jail for 30 days for driving SO miles an hour in
Multnomah county, although no immediate traffic menace was in
volved. Now Judge Cook claps a man in jail for three months and
fines him 300 for going swmming in the nude In the Willamette
river at West Salem. Virtue seem to come high in West Salem. What,
we wonder, would happen to a guy if he committed a real crime
across the river, like whistling-on Sunday or sasslng his mother-in-law.

Oregon publishers were greatly shocked Wednesday to learn of
the sudden death of Frank B. Appleby, editor and publisher of the
Ontario. California. Report. They remember him as the brilliant pub
lisher of the La Grande Observer, which he sold several years ago
In order to locate In Southern California. We first met Appleby back
in Iowa where he was running Alex Miller's old paper, the Wash
ington Democrat. That was in If 20. He came west a few years later,
and bought the La Grande paper from Brace Dennis. He made a
wonderful success of the Observer, and told the interesting story of
his methods at n.any newspaper and advertising club conventions.
Frank was only 41, and his passing seems real tragedy.
Governor Ma.-tin's section of the sea tn pled reply to Gov. Lan
don was Just as good as the replies of the other five, for which
there is probably a reason. We enjoyed especially Governs Martin's
Identifying Wall street and the power trust as the elements behind
Landon. It is not often the governor speaks harshly of the bankers
and the ultilitarians. - i ;

A NUMBER of things have hap

change in the situation. Perhaps
it would "do accurate to say they
are all embraced in the change.
CERTAINLY A FEW months ago
it seemed a walkover for Mr.
Roosevelt. The Roosevelt mana
gers claimed everything in sight.
nanruMMt. anti-Roosevelt Deonle
went about saying such things as
Well. Wi too bad. but you can i
hnat live billion dollars " or "I'm
going to vote the Republican
ticket for tne nrst ume in my
Ufa lint, of tnnrse. Roosevelt wlU
be reelected," or I know all the
Intelligent people are against
him, but the morons are in the
majority." In those days it
would have been easy to have got
ten 3 to 1 or even -4 to 1 on the
Roosevelt reelection. In : those
days Mr. Roosevelt had no compe
tition, the Republican party had
no candidate and its lack of co
hesion was a matter of derisive
comment. In those days the New
Deal leaders were smugly toler
ant, broadly patronizing. They
were amused rather than resent
ful at Administration critics, pity
ingly tmfled at, the low estate of
the opposition. In those days the
whole awaggerlng New Deal out
fit was walking very wide Indeed.
There was scarcely room for any
one else on the sidewalks.
IT "IS different now. The betting
odds have shrunk. The talk is In
another key. . While the claims of
both Mr. Farley and Mr. Hamil
ton are equally ridiculous, most
people pay slight attention to
their patently partisan statements.
Privately, they, like everyone else,
know the fight is a close one.
Though recent polls have shown
a trend away from Roosevelt and
toward Landon, ii isn't "in the
bag" for either side, and no post
ed person thinks so. , The fact
that at the Cleveland convention
the Republicans nominated a
ticket which has united back of
it practically every party element
(including the temperamental
Borah ) save the handful of so
called Progressive Republicans,
mch as Norris and La Follette
that fact, coupled with the equally
obvious one that Mr. Landon will
be supported by a large number of
disaffected Democrats, has altered
the political picture.
IT IS TRUE the drought opens
the door by which a vast amount
of additional New Deal money can
be poured into a number of de
batable States where the drift was
away from Roosevelt. His forth
coming visit there will probably
help him, too. Looking at it from
the political angle, it seems a
break for the President, but even
this does not enable the New Deal
to recapture the serene confidence
of the early spring. Self-satisfaction
has given way to uneasiness
not far from alarm. The effect
upon the Roosevelt spokesmen
has been to change good humor
into bad humor. All the tolerance
has disappeared. Instead of being
amused now, they are really bit
ter." Their dispositions seem cur
dled. Harsh' names are being
called and mean accusations made
incompatible with a sense of se
curity, or even decency.
IF. IT IS contended, 'this degree
of rancor is now exhibited merely
because it) seems that this Is a
fight, not ai frolic, should the tide
turn definitely against them, the
New Deal behavior would be bad
beyond belief. A good many have
held right along that this ia not
a crowd which can face adversity.
They function bravely on the of
fensive with things rolling their
way. But put them on the de
fensive, with the breaks for the
other fellow, and they do not take
it well. Inflamed by their own
success, they did not believe this
campaign would be a battle at all.
Realization that it is one has em
bittered them. One evidence is
the way they have received the
Landon speech of acceptance.
SOME Roosevelt I adherents, a
short time ago, were bellyaching
about the President bln(
"abused," which, in the light of
the frequent Presidential denun
ciations of those who differ with
him, seemed slightly ironic. Now,
however, they appear to hold it as
a grievance that Mr. Landon did
not abuse him. The moderate na
ture of his criticism displeases
them. They say it was colorless
and timorous, that he did not real
ly indict Mr. Roosevelt, in fact.
said nothing. Others Insist he
said a great deal. They violently
belabor Mr. Landon on his labor
stand, excitedly berate his agri
cultural program,' assert that his
relief criticisms are libelous. 1 The
Democratic committee thinks the
speech sufficiently effective to ar
range for a simultaneous radio
attack by six Democratic Gover
nors. Altogether, for an unsen
sational utterance, which it was,
they seem unduly disturbed,
which seems to indicate an uneasy
state of mind.

IT IS not long age that I wrots
about heart disease in children and
adults. I cannot refrain from say
Ins something more about this Mii
ous affliction. It is too Important a
subject to slight. Everybody should
know that many persons suffer from
heart disease only because they ig
nore the many warnings of danger
and tha easy mean of escaping it.
The constant peril from weakness
et the heart should be familiar to
everyone. It lsonly by universal
education that the necessary precau
tions Mil be taken. Then the suf
ferer will not unknowingly - subject
bis heart to harmful and damaging
strain. '
How much do you know about the
structure and action of the heart?
This vital org-Jh weighs only eight
to twelve ounces. It la capabls of
doing an excessive amount of work,
even though It naver rests. It beata
on the average T2 times each mln
ate. more than 400 times each hour.
The heart has a never ending job
to do. If it falters or weakens for
any length of tune, serious ill effects
are experienced. An unusually rapid
.beat means an added load tor the
heart to carry. This load may be
some too much and when this hap
pens there Is great danger.
Symptoms of Disease
Even If the heart continues to beat
It may not bo able .to function prop
erly. ' In consequence there Is diffi
culty In breathing, as well as blue
ness. swelling of the feet and ankles,
and other symptoms.
How can we guard against the
symptoms associated with heart
trouble? x
We can best do this by making
sure the heart la baaltny and strong.
We can learn to avoid unnecessary
risks and strains. - Even if the heart
Is weak, health and usefulness can
be maintained If certain restriction
are observed.
Fortunately, this vital organ has
marvelous recuperative powers. . It
quickly rasponda te rest and treat
ment That is the reason why one
with a weak heart can live a long
and nappy nfa, provided the neces
sary precautions are taken. Ia fact,
so-called "cardiacs", sufferers from
heart disease, lead healthy and -long
Uvea by avoiding unnecessary strain,
tress and excitement.
If yon have not recently consulted
with your doctor, do so now. . Deter
mine the exact condition of your
heart. This visit Is specially recom
mended tlf yon have noticed numb
ness of the feet, pain around the
heart, shortness of breath or flutter

signs that you should not Ignore.

had not known they really could be

She had learned another valuable
lesson in this difficult period, also.
For she realized that she must be

her, force a camaraderie with the
girls who worked and lived around
iter, ix there ever came a day wnen
she did not need them well and
good; but while she was one of
them, she recognized that there were
certain advantages in being friend-:
ly with as many persons as possible.
Just suppose, for example, she had
not been pleasant to Millie, and had
missed this opportunity which had
fallen to her with surprising result!
Meanwhile, Jackson Thorps had
been doing an impersonation ox tne
immortal Gabriel, and he was poig
nantly reminded of the parallel in
his ease many times during those
harrowing weeks. Just to think that
he had been the one who had re
marked that no such thing could
happen in this modern day! It did
seem incredible but it was true,
nevertheless. He had returned to
Mrs. Kime's after that discouraging
visit to the night dub, and. found
that lady somewhat perturbed over
Lynn's whereabouts, herself.' She
even was ready to solicit the strange
yonng man's aid ia locating her.
Jack became frantic For. one
thing, his trail of Lynn indicated
that she was in deep trouble,, partic

needed help and protection. He never

New Orleans, that she was so pa-
,thetieally alone and destitute. He
employed a private detective and
spent dreary days awaiting results.
There were none.
Returning to Dunning, he had
discovered Susanne, who apparently
had seen Lynn last. She it was who
verified that it had been Lynn who
worked at the Roman Chariot, and
was surprised to hear that she was
no longer there. She located "Jed,

any word from Lynn, and bo bint

peared to be accidental, but their
repetition I became suspicious, she
was sure that Helen purposely mod
eled the wrong frock and left her
own for Lynn, and then explained
to Weima that the new girl had made
the error.) It was Helen who had
dressed first, and left the wrong One
for Lynn. But Lynn closed her lips
firmly, swallowed hard and said
nothing; except to make a hasty
apology toj Mr. Weims. In the stress
of these particularly busy days,) he
only gave her an impatient glance
and passed on to the next responsi
bility, . I . .
A torn gown was traced to Lynn's
clumsy efforts she whose move
ments were as rhythmic as the rites
of a mystic ceremony, in everything
she did. One dsy, Odette blsmed her
tardy! appearance on the display
floor tepoaj Lynn's dawdling in the
dressing room which they shared.
It was then Lynn noticed that sim
ilar faults! were traced erroneously
to two other extra models, but hot
as frequently as she was involved
She spoke about it to Bertha that
night ! .-. : ..

the rush is over. It's a rotten trick,
but, she added with a belligerent
note in her own voice, you can't
blame them so much, at that. Just
another racket for keeping what
they have and need their living.
Most of those girls have bo one to
take cars of them and some of them
hsvs others dependent upon them.
Odette hss a kid she has to board
out, and she knows you have it all
over her as a model eo it's up to
her to queer you with the boss some
other way."
Lynn understood. The explana
tion did not assuage the sting of
those unjust attacks, but it did
justify them to some degree. "It's
all a terrific battle, isn't it?" aha
aid thoughtfully, with a full tight
feeling in her throat, and wondered
what waa the degree of her own
strength.
"Sure dog eat dog. There are all
kinds of weapons: graft, pull, per
suasion, lies, deceit and a big por
tion of bluff. That's the recipe for
success in anything," Bertha con
cluded with a bitter philosophy
gained from experience.
"Oh, yon have to put something
else into it. Work and character
and ability count for something,
Lynn protested.
"Yeah? How much? Maybe ten
per cent. Sure, you hare to have
something to get in with, and you
have to function while you're in.
Weims took you because of your
beauty and experience, but if you
stay there you'll have to fight back
with the same weapons the others
use against you sixty-forty, to
win."
"I don't know whether I care te
stay on those terms," she stared
dully into space, contemplating the
tragedy of Odette's baby for which
she fought so savagely in the con
flict. "You'd rather starvs to death or
slip into the lake some night,"
Bertha suggested flippantly, with a
flourish of her nail file.
"It would be mors simple."
"Yeah, for a coward. Snap out of
itl All you have to do is gather up
some of the same weapons and get
into the thick of the fight. You've
got more brains and looks than
most of 'em, and I wouldn't let 'em
scare me off. Go to it, and take
Odette's job. Show her you can."
"And let her babr starvtT" Lynn
suggested. "No, thanks. 111 try
soma other way to save myself."
It evolved that she would need
to, because at the end of two weeks,
she found herself several dollars
ahead, hot again jobless. She sensed,
even while he dismissed her, that
Weims would have preferred to
keep her in his employ, but she un
derstood his position and actually
was grateful that he had not done
so. Bad she remained and Odette
been dismissed, she was sure that
baby would have haunted her for
the rest of her life. And in that at
mosphere of criticism and resent
ment, she would not hsvs been
happy; though she liked tha place
much better than Dunning s.
