Portland's Fleet Week , HlOKTLAis D is having a Ileet week, when several can K noned cruisers, so described by the Oregonian, worked their way up the creek and tied up along the sea-wall. Fleet week is one way of declaring dividends on our invest ment in the navy. When the ships come to town .the mer chants and restaurant keepers put on expansive smiles be cause they know business will be good.? Not only will the sailors spend money on shore leave, but the fleet attracts many to town who drop a few dollars along the great white way. Social dividends also are declared as the officers and their wives, if any are present, are lionized at the parties of the city's elite. All in all, fleet week i3 a big week in any coast town ; and a real event for Portland which 'heretofore has never had more than one "cannoned cruiser" at a time to thread the river channels up past the grain elevators. The navy of the United States is not only formidable as a fighting arm, but also one with a high rating for efficiency and morale. Our naval officers have been leaders in main taining the navy at a high standard of training both in the handhng of ships,-and in target practice. We like to think that man for man, and ton for ton, the American:, navy has no superior. Its business is grim, to be sure; but there is - solid satisfaction in knowing that if the order comes to strip ! for action the fleet will speedily be ready to engage what ever enemy shoots a ball across our bows. J In the sense therefore that fleet week does give the men and ships of the nayy a chance to report to the plain people, there is reason for sending the vessels around to seaport cities. The people get a better understanding of vessel types and capacities. The men in the service get a better under standing of the country for which they are the guardians. So aside from the embellishments of social affairs and cour . tesy calls, fleet week does have a meaning for Portland and lor tne DacK country too. TiieSafety ' Valve Letters frost .

HENDRICKS 1 Material for Pipeline ,fflHIS paper doesn't believe anyone is a grafter on the wa ter pipe purchase; but it does think the council commit tee may profitably pursue the inquiry into the merits of Wood pipe further than the engineer on the work has done. His report employs general terms. It ought to be possible to get data more scientific, than the summary report of theen gineer conveys The capacity of wpodpipe to withstand pres sures should be susceptible of determination ; also its internal friction. The pipe has been in use long enough to find out about its longevity. It ought easily to be possible to determine from users or from trial whether water slightly chlorinated will taste or smell bad when passed through creosoted pipe. Likewise steel should be studied as to its merits. The city isn't any more anxious to replace rusted steel in a decade or two than it is to replace leaky wood pipe, j . Laymen without making a careful study cannot decide intelligently on the best material for use on the pipeline. ! We do not believe the summary of Engineer Koon offers a very definite basis for comparison, though it is granted his judg ment is not affected by any ulterior purpose. Engineering departments of the state have made studies and reports on building material and on road materials. Have not such stu dies been made on conduit material which would help the council members to make their decision? 1 ; - This paperJfeels wholly incompetent to make a recom mendation as ta the proper material for the city's pipeline. But is does not believe that the fragmentary data submitted by the engineer affords an adequate basis for decision in the matter. We are not concerned about outside pressures for or against materials. The importance and cost of the work call for further investigation. If time does not permit laboratory tests, then the inquiry should extend to practical experience, at least. " - FEXSIOV IX HARMONY WITH . MEAN'S Holler, Oregon To the Editor: Kindly permit me tills brief space, la answer to tne unneces sary abase given by B. I. Flummer In your August 2nd issue. X would advise for his health, that Mr. Flommer go pick some of Oregon's crops going; to waste. where be can do jome good, and honestly earn himself $200.00 whether It takes a month or 3 months. Instead of night dreaming of an angel carrying a Utopia down from heaven to him. while he is not even willing to take time to correctly absorb that brief letter wrote you Tla your cola dibs of July 19 th. He rail3 about anem ployment, and fails to frankly ad mit: that the people of Oregon spoke for themselves on the bo called 2 cents sales tax which was to have put him upon, a bed of feathers. Townsend Pension: He fails to acknowledge, as In that brief statement Indicated:, that we have pension, in, harmony with our commercial means, and that while the aged are geting benefits from this already ample eats aUowance are sifiisf ied, what Is Mr, Plum mer railing about anyhow? No one can eat paper on which is printed $2 Oft -per month,' Read mine again please of 19th of July. The Plummer argument is far from any solution even for' put ting unemployed to work. There are among those unemployed. which be rails about, a percen tage. wh If they would, could produce for, themselves jobs in harmony with environment and commerce, who will not make any effort as long as. such as Plum mer deceive their Imaginations with $200 per coming. Furnished by who?. If Plummer did not have enough ambition to utilize com merce from which to earn his own Hvlihood while a strong young man, why does he expect' some other young man to earn bis Hv lihood, and $200 per month for Plummer? s Uncle Sam Is not going to have another paper money spree, like he once had to discard, lust to please a handfull of Utopian Dreamers from a racket that does not even hold Itself together. That la that; honorable; yes! - Daniel C. Burkholder An Astor passes 8-5-18 through and makes ' a snooty remark that draws persnickety reply: "But the Name Still Makes Newa" was the caption of an editorial la the. Portland Oregon iaa of Monday, this week, read ing: , ; - . .. - "John Jacob Astor III, sprout of the wealthy family of that name In New York, passed through the other day in his special car en route to Santa Barbara. At "Eugene there was polite inquiry If he would make a stop In Oregon, and the report Is he responded with the bored question: 'Why should I?' . "Why, indeed? Certainly not on Oregon's account. "This state would have beea glad to have had the young man partake of its hospitality, just as it is extended to every other young fellow who comes along. including the hitchhiker thumb ing his way. There are a number of nice things about Oregon and It pleases us to share them. When we nave looked those visit ors over we sometimes . Invite them to stay on. Whether or not we would have done that with young Astor cannot now be said; offhand we wonder: 'Why should we?'" . " W A snooty remark drawing a persnickity answer but an appro priate one; that la, the answer. A John. Jacob Astor flitting through the Oregon country, with even much diluted blood, in his veins of the original prominent German-Amerjcan bearing that name, would naturally be expect ed. In the very nature of things, to have at least a passing interest. If he did not, he might appro priately be called a cad, not as much deserving as a nondescript hitchhiker grateful for a lift. S W It wag not Oregon's fault that the original John Jacob Astor do ing business In this section was sold out by his unfaithful or cow ardly partners for $S8,291, taking a great loss in actual money and in prospects for princely returns. W W That Is what the Northwesters paid for Fort George at Astoria. the forts beyond the Cascades, the two on the Willamette, and all the furs already gathered. Bat the loss was due to the war of 1812, for which no one la Wallace on Straw Ballots SECRETARY HENRY A. WALLACE is grieved over the political polls which have shown a receding popularity for President Roosevelt. He says: "We seem to have reach ed a time when political polls are being used "not only , to re flect public opinion, but in an attempt to mould public opirr '' ion." : - Four years ago Mr. Wallace had no grievance against the collectors of straw ballots. In spite of the fact that the shoe now pinches another foot, we are inclined to agree with the agriculture head. The Statesman has had little use for straw votes, and has not publicized them; in part because we think the proper poll is the election itself; in part because as employed the straw ballots accentuate swings to extremes. There are so many people, shallow-pated, who want only to be in the big parade that are swayed in their balloting by what they think "everybody is doing". There is another ele ment which shifts political allegiance chiefly from hope of political reward; and these may take their cues from the early polls of the betting odds. j . The political campaign shouldHbe fought out on the basis of the issues of government which are involved, and not made to hinge on the reports of those who have put their wet fin gers to the wind. Walter Pierce, congressman from the sec ond district, wanted to ban straw ballots ! from operation through the mails. That may be too drastic For, our own :part we have quit answering straw ballot: inquiries. Unless we want the Lit. Dig or Dr. Gallup to serve as election agents, , more people should do the same. Make the election itself the real moment of decision. America's rendezvous with destiny should be on November 3 and not when Funk & Wagnalls hold a preliminary ballot round-up. T Nine Lives for Pinball LIKE the near-immortality" of the fabled cat the pinball machines seem to refuse to remain dead. It was somewhat surprising however to have their fresh effort at revival sponsored in part by Councilman Goodenough who was elect ed on a reform ticket. The proposed ordinance to license the games is a travesty. It would use the city's share of the loot as an investigation fund for use in running down other forms of gambling, among other crimes. If an investigation fund ia needed the city of Salem is not too poor to provide it. Good ness knows, the city spends many thousands of dollars on its police department now, with very meagre returns, as the rec ord of unpunished robberies alone will prove. ! - No legitimate interest has suffered since the games-were banished. Greed alone for easy profits prompts their installa tion, with knowledge that weak men will be the ones chiefly to play them to their own loss. They should not be revived or licensed. .-....:.. A Clackamas county deputy has confessed embezzling some 115,000 in county tax money and the Oregon City Enterprise makes note of the fact hla wage was $112.50. Wnile we have never observed that the rule f honesty operated in inverse ratio to the size of one's salary, the Enterprise Is correct In chiding the "cointy with paying no larger salary to one charged with responsibility for handling millions of dollars. In this county the deputy la charge of tax collec tions disappeared some months ago, though no indication of any de falcation has been found. But ia this county the compensation paid to deputies In the court house Is unreasonably low in comDarion with the labor and responsibility Involved. The county ought not to wait j nia where he will meet his wife until some one goes wrong to provide more adequate wages to who has been visiting relatives hd-worklag deputies. i : there and return east together. DEFENDS COMMTJXIST PARTY West Stayton, Ore. August 2nd. To the Editor: In a recent issue of your paper there appeared an article staling the American Legion post no. 1 was going to Investigate commu nists and their' activities. Why don't they investigate activities of the Liberty league or the Black Legion? Is It because American Legion members have been Identi fied with those organizations and they wish to divert attention from their own lawless acts of intimi dation and terrorism by misrepre senting the aims and objects of its members? A political party can easily be Judged by studying its platform. The communist platform calls for: Put America back to work; pro vide Jobs and a living wage. , Provide unemployment Insur ance, old age pensions and social security for all. Save tbe younger generation. Free the farmers from debts, nnbearable taxes, burdens and foreclosures; guarantee the land to those who till the soiL 'The rich hold the wealth of our country, make the rich pay, Defend and extend democratic and civil liberties; curb the su preme court. Full rights" for the negroes.! Keep America out of war i by keeping war out of the world. This platform can be secured at a cost of 1 cent per copy.' If there Is anything unAmerican In it we welcome discussion, be lieving we can demonstrate to any unbiased person or group that everything in the platform con forms to and -upholds the tradi tions of American struggle for democracy. . The issue In this political cam paign is "Democracy vs Fascism' and on that base the communists are conducting their campaign. All attempts to prevent free dis cussion and create prejudice can only come from those who wish to establish a fascist dictator similar to what exists In Germany or Italy. Fascism has no respect for demo eratic decisions; it is a brutal. lawless terrorism. Spain fully proves this statement. After being defeated Hi a democratic election at the polls, the fascists threw all regards for law away and resorted to force and murder, to seise power and establish a dictator, In all countries they control their actions are identical. The Black Legion,- theLiberty league, the K.K.K. and other simi lar organizations can only carry on their activities by violating es tablished law to prevent tbe eier else of democratic rights. It' has been established beyond any donbt that American Legion members have been and are identified with these organisations. ? Let the American , Legion In vestigate the activities of these groups and compare their objects and .aims with tbe communist platform and principles. Herbert Dennett West Stayton, Ore.

These attacks can be traced to carelessness in the handling and preparation .of rood.- -' . Food poisoning Is always more prevalent during; hot weather, es pecially if refrigeration and pres ervation of food are neglected. We used to hear, a great deal about food poisoning. There Is no doubt that the decrease in these cases can be traced to the marked Im provement in refrigeration, sterili zation of food, the safer canning of rood, and the protection of meats. vegetables, milk and other edible substances. Caused by Germ "Botulism" is caused by a germ found In contaminated food mate rials. This organism Is riven a big name, "Clostridium botulinum". It is occasionally found in canned foods, but only when they are not scienuacaily prepared. Botulism is not a new disease. It was known more than a century ago. But It was not until within recent years that its actual cause was discovered. The research scientists observing that an occa sional case occurred from the eat ing of canned foods, set out to find how contamination might be prevented. They perfected meth ods of complete sterilization to overcome the evil effects of con tamination. " I am glad to say that as a re sult of this work the canning in dustry has advanced to the point that the germs of botulism are no longer found in canned foods. Not only are the foods protected from contamination, but the containers are subjected to rigid cleansing and sterilization before they are used. ! - Home Canning ' Unfortunately, the home canner has not made the same progress. An occasional case of botulism Is traced to the Inadequate methods of canning: in the home. It takes 'considerable boiling to destroy cer tain germs. This is particularly true of the larger fruits, any fruit canned In large pieces. It takes a tot of heat to penetrate the deep eat portion of the big pieces, i jThe cornmercially-canned prod uct Is of superior quality and free from all danger of botulism. It Is safe, clean and economical. But If you. still can foods at home be sure to take the necessary precau tions for safety. , Answers to Health. Queries- i J. B. Q.

So many times had hone rared him to the same destination, in vain. that he was still skeptical at seeing her there at all. Bnt if Lynn were living there again, as the letter had assured him she was, it would be nice to surprise her on this lovely spring day el her leisure. Mrs. Kime's rreetinar wax decid edly mere gracious than her first one had been. "She's come back!" were her first jubilant words. "She's here?" his words were half interrogation and half conviction. "No she isn't here, just now. but shell be back some time this eve ning. . She went away for the day with a mend ox hers," she nniabed with an apologetic tone. Which tone betrayed te Jack that the friend was masculine. "Oh I he exclaimed with bitter disap pointment. He hesitated, then de cided, "ill come back, later and wait for her." He turned away slowly, reluctantly. e The spring sky was a deep vault of blue, high above, pricked with stars and dusty-silver showers of light so remote that they did not even twinkle. Lynn remembered the low ceiling of the tropics with its . multitudes of flashing lights out ever the bayous in the throbbing closeness of the night, and the fire. rues suspended in the air like stars falling to earth in showers. This night was divine, bnt ah! the magic of that other. Not alone the heav ens and the stars and the atmos phere were different. On that other night, Jack was driving his -car through the star-filled night To night, it was Jed Town send who sat beside her in the cool, thin silence of lake breezes.
