From "Pencil Points" ! :

A COPY of the July issue of Pencil Points, x magazine of
design has reached this desk. It is devoted to the Ore
gon state capitol, with engravings not only of the win
ning plan in the. recent competition but of the plans which
received honorable mention. -

preliminary draughts of the capitol by the successful archi
tects. Many are crude sketches. One can trace the evolution
of the successful sketch through a multitude of preliminary
sketches. A square central tower seems to have been an early
idea, then a, very low circular dome, and finally the turret
capped with a statue emerges. After looking .t the prelim
inary sketches one is abundantly satisfied that the "architects
persisted until they evolved the final brilliant conception
which was adopted. - ' . "
The magazine . contains an article "The Design That
Won", being notes on how it was arrived at, written by the
architects, Messrs. Trowbridge & Livingston and Francis
Keally. They trace the evolution of their conceptions of the
proper capitol for Oregon under the terms' of the competition,
83 to cubage, cost, and site limitations. J
Another article is by Walter H. Thomas of Philadelphia,.
ttfncr vota -r tivVtwcf
Thomas says the winning design is "fundamentally sound and
satisfactory to a high degree", and goes on to say: i :!7 . "
- "In plot plan it has a true setting within and a a part of the
capitol park grounds. . -
"In building plan it presents a compact, workable solution,
with due consideration given to frequency and convenience of the
respective governmental functions. .It recognizes that the capitol
is to house both the legislative and executive branches of the
government and gives, therefore, a proper dignity and inter-.
relationship of senate, house and. governor and properly"recog
nizes the latter as head of the state.
"In section, it proves the plan. The main public lobby is
impressive and compact. The minor but continuously used
. rooms on the ground floor are easily accessible but properly sub
ordinated to the main lobby cross vistas leading to the major but
less frequently used spaces on the main or second floor.':
"In elevation the building has scale. The major unctions
are properly emphasized, minor ones are properly suppressed..
The simplicity of the composition, the well-belanced masses, the
placing of ornament and carving where needed (and only there)
are basically sound and easily give the designer the opportunity
of swinging his design to the left' toward further modernism or
to the right toward further conservatism if he finds that either "
may better express the tradition and trends of the people of
Oregon." . i
Mr. Thomas is quite critical of many of i the offerings in
the competition, and scolds architects .for "mental laziness,
and in some cases of. "trickery" in trying to fool the judges
as to cubage. , I . i
The Oregon competition was one of the big things of the
year in professional circles." Reactions noted thus far have
been pleasing. There is every reason to believe as the build
ing progressed to completion it will win greater praise, and
finally, will be recognized both as a thing of rare beauty and
one or great utility.
New Trade Law
;. ....-. i
BUSINESS men in all grades are busy studying.the Robin-son-Patman
bill which was enacted by the last congress.
T Trade associations, wholesalers, manufacturers, retailers
both independent and chain, are setting their, lawyers to work
to figure out what it means. The first question that will
arise will be over its constitutionality, since it gives to a fed
eral body powers previously reserved to individual citizens
in the matter of trade. If the bill qualifies before the courts,
then the question is, what will be its effect on the existing
methods of manufacturing and merchandising? -
The bill was sponsored by independent retailers 'in an
effort to curb the chain competition. It abolishes favoritism
in discounts, prohibits advertising allowances which actually
are discounts to large buyers. The; federal trade commission
is made umpire for merchandising ! ; " ''
Already, one effect is noted in the cancellation of the
contract between Goodyear and bears Roebuck lor tne manu
facture of tires under a set of discounts which the trade com
mission declared was unfair competition, j However Sears
announced it was obtaining other sources ; of supply ; tand
Goodyear, will divert its production to other ' channels of dis
tribution. !
One effect of the law may be to force chain retailers to
go into manufacturing themselves; or. manufacturers to go
into direct distribution to the trade. Some chains buy up all
the product of certain factories, so they would rot be affected
bv the law. since no favoritism in .discounts could be shown!
Some claim the bill will kick back to the injury ff the
independent retailer. Others say it will sharply increase the
cost of goods to consumers. : .' 1 ;
The law will probably not do all the things which are
predicted, either for good or for evil, because some of them
are contradictory. It is apparent, .however,? that if the law
stands there will be some definite readjustments necessary in
the operation of merchandising as at' present carried on. -'A
safe forecast is that business will make these adaptations and
carry on without a great deal of change in the picture so far
a the ireneral retailino scene ia concerned, i . :

The Nejrra Vote
The Intensity of the Presiden

thrown into prominence and Im
portance three
groupsupon
whose votes the
outcome may de

the farmers, or
g a n i xe d labor
and the Negroes.
An analysis of

Both parties recognize it; hence
the , disturbance in Washington
over the Lewis-Green fight, which
has split the ranks of organized

by the Republicans. The Repub

much capital out of It as they can.
Jt off era, them the only hope : of
deflecting part of the labor vote
away from the President. The
farmers are slipping back in large
numbers Into Republican ranks.
And the Negroes are extremely
important:
In' the states where thev are
permitted to vote both Republi
cans and Democrats are making a
great bid for them. In certain
states with large Negro popula
tions jsew York, Michigan, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Illinois and the
border states . of Kentucky and
Tennessee their vote In a close
election may hold the balance of
power. The Negro vote can. con

cism which oermeates enr nubile
life' more apparent than tn tfce
scramble for the votes of these
people, the outcasts, the disinher

but it has studiously -aroided ap
parent benefits to Negroes.
The -reason is obvious; the Solid
South Is the Democrat stronghold,
and a pro-Negro Dollcv on the nart
of the Administration is the one
thing that would most i ouiek!
break down the traditional Demo

But In the North, the situation
Is different. Here the Negro vote,
which has traditionally been Re
publican, partly because of mm.
ortes of the Clvil War, but alsy
oecause tne Republicans paid

been the basis of much? caustic
comment by those who are fond
of explaining that tha rohttva

that they are congenitally laxy,
unthrifty and quickest to let the
state care for them. :
The Interpretation A Ma Ik Kml
groes an Injustice, and reveals ig--norance
of the facts about Negro
employment in the North. Since
America's gates have been closed
to the immigration of cheap labor
from eastern Europe, the great
reservoir of 10,000,000 Southern
Negroes has been; tapped' by
Northern industry whenever ' It
needed cheap labor to combat
trade unionism or n
handle peak production. As in the
u agents traveled eastern Eur
ope and the Balklns rounding up
workers for American mines and
mills, with promises of gold to be
picked in the streets, so in the
last decades, and especially dur
ing the war and post-war booms,
similar agents drew upon the
plantations of the South. They
went into rural agricultural areas
where Negroes lived on the land
or In the villages' closely attached
to the land, and where at an ex
tremely , low standard of living
they, nevertheless, had i

Health
By Royal S. Copeland, fll.D.
FEW OTHER things are more
annoying - than the constant con
sciousness of some physical defect
or disability. Yet, anxiety of this
sort is usually quite unnecessary.
Some simple remedy, or perhaps a
trifling operation, will restore nor
mal activity and strength. ;
Thousands of persons who have
had ruptures have avoided medical
care because they feared the knife.
They should know that neglect Is
far more dangerous than an oper
ation. -In the hands of a compe
tent surgeon the operation is a
simple one and need cause no anx
iety. .
A rupture, or -hernia, as It is
medically called, is due to a mus
cular weakness of a certain 'part
- of the body. The abdominal wall
is most often affected . but the
trouble may be In the groin. The
intestine or gut protrudes through
the broken tissues.
The weakness may be present at
birth. When this occurs the rup
ture Is spoken of as a "congenital
hernia'. In most instances it is ac
quired, perhaps following a severe
blow, fail, strain or sudden ex
ertion. Operation Advised
As X have said, neglect of a her
ola is dangerous, because of the
possibility of certain complications.
For example, a hernia may become
strangulated. The hernial sac be
comes twisted, the knuckle of in
testine within It is squeezed, and
the pressure shuts off the circula
tion. This leads to severe pain
which can only be relieved by im
mediate operation.
Do not be misled by the belief
that hernia can be cured by the
wearing of a truss or other me
chanical appliances. This procedure
should only be resorted to for eld
erly individuals who. for various
reasons, cannot be operated on. It
affords temporary relief, but never
cures. -
Recently a new method of treat
ment has been recommended. I
refer to the so-called "injection
treatment". In this treatment an
irritating substance is injected into
the rupture, setting up a localized
inflammation with gradual oblit
eration of the- sac . The type of
treatment must be determined by
your doctor. ' ''
If you have rupture or suspect
you may have, talk frankly with
your physician about It. The
chances are your fears are un
founded. ' But don't be foolish
enough to spend hoars and sleep
less nights worrying about it
This advice Is equally good for
other troubles, too. Share your
fears with the doctor. He will wipe
them away or give you speedy re
lief by proper treatment,

Having struck oiL the quaint
lake Tysons leave their Texas
home to introduce ' their lovely
daughter, Vernon (called "Haggle"
back home), .to Nw York seciery
with the aid of their socially promi
nent (though impoverished) cous
ins, the RusbJngtoas. Sadie Tyson
hopes for brilliant match for her
daughter, but Vernon's thoughts
are with Terry Shannon, a yoong
engineer she met on the train. Nan
Rushington Vernon's 18-year-old,
ultra-modern cousin hopes to bet
ter her own financial status by be
ing nice to the Tysons. Nan' be
moans the loss of her father's for
tune which prevents her from
financing the divorce of her latest
crush, "Sugar SarraU. Had her
mother been alive Nan, in all prob
ability, would not have led such a
giddy life. Her father was too
taken up with his business worries
te bother with Nan's escapades, al
though he disapproved of her gay
career. Nan takes Vemoa to have
her hair hennaed and a complete
beauty treatment. Vernon emerges
a vision of loveliness. "You've got
to glitter! If you don't register at
the start you're finished before
you've begun 1 stressed Nan. And
gitter Vernon certainly did!!
CHAPTER VII
They were passing a large and
elegant store on the Avenue, and
Nan suddenly halted her cousin
with an ecstatic squeak. ' -
"That gorgeous pancake hat
the one In hunter's rreen. with the
feather I It was Just mods for you
with your brand-new shads of hair I
Let's go right in and get it, Vernon
darling I"
Bu "
"Come on. You've simply pot to
cut a dash when the gang see yout
They'll all be ia the FizzJy Club
that's where we're going to lunch
1 want you to be an absolute
knock-out, Vernon I"
Vernon followed her electric, de
termined little cousin through the
great swing-doors and up to the
spacious millinery department.
The hat .was brought from the
.window. It was marked $30.
Vernon tried it on. She was a
little nervous about the price. But
when the French milliner placed it
on her head at a fetching angle, it
was terribly becoming to her.
When they were seated in a taxi,
and Nan had given the driver an
address in the East Fifties, Vernon
could see herself reflected in a strip
ef mirror, enchantingly pretty with
her new shade of hair whose ten
drils curled around the brim of the
tiny modish hat.-. ., ; "" .: i .
Several taxis and private cars
were lined up before the grilled en
trance ef the Fixzly Club. Elegantly
dressed girls . and smart-looking
men were entering Its portals one
by one, or two by two, cautiously
admitted. A tiny observation, win
dow was set in the door from which
a pair of keen eyes scouted the cus
tomers before they were permitted
to enter.
But Nan and Vernon didn't have
to wait. They were admitted imme
diately. "Hello. Mac, old scout!
How's trade?" Nan winked at the
doorman impudently. - '
The little foyer was so -dimly lit
that for a moment Vernon could
see nothing.
Nan, however, - was throwing
greetings right and left into the in
triguing gloom. Gradually the fig
ures of very smartly attiredyeun
women shaped themselves. "They're
waiting for tables, or for men.
Place full up as usual whispered
Nan importantly. .
Shs knew her way about. She
piloted her cousin through heavy
wing doors into the quaintest little
barroom. It was crowded.
