! FAMILY RESPONSIBILITY
; Zit hns ong been established in the law of Oregon that
-immediate relatives who are financially able are responsible
Ifor the care of needy parents. The rule still holds, good in
;these days of old age and other forms of public assistance,
land welfare committees are obligated to take resources of
;this nature into account in determining eligibility for assis
tance, -
J That such legislation was ever necessary is not a pleasant
"commentary on the quality of the relationship that has existed
."between members of a family. In the ordinary, normal family
there is never any question of caring for parents who are in
tneed but there is a long record of neglect on the part of some
'children and it is on that account that the law was enacted.
iThat' record, in late years, has been added to in sad measure
as family degeneration has set in as a consequence of the new
types of government welfare and relief now in effect. Many a
Ifamily, once too proud to let the old folks go on relief, has lost
Jits pride and tried to avoid the responsibility that both legally
and morally belonged to it. There are even cases on record
.where an attorney has been employed to help to secure assis
tance in spite of the absence of real need.
I -Cases of this nature often make difficulty for welfare
committees. In many instances the interest of the public and
.the official members of the committee clash, the former being
concerned, more especially with financial and budgetary issues
and the latter, too often, with questions of personal popularity
, and individual politics. '
.-To. some extent persons who, on the point of age alone, have
IJiecome eligible for old age assistance look on assistance as a
;pension and therefore a right regardless of any other con
siderations. Herein confusion arises that should be dispelled.
Jn the whole situation the welfare committees are entitled
;rgenerous public support They are engaged in a thankless
..task and in doing it they stand between the taxpayer and, in
rimany cases, groups whose only words are those of the horse
leech's daughters.
H An annual feature of the Oregon City "Territorial Days"
celebration is the souvenir edition of the Oregon City Enter
prise. The fourth of these editions has just come to the edi
torial desk and, like its predecessors, has been examined with
..interest and pleasure. In its many feature articles this edition
Iells the story of pioneers and their activities recreating fox
;;today the lives of the past. As always the Enterprise has done
good job.

A USELESS LAW
(CorvUlis Gazette-Times)
Ijnerce has asked bordering states to
"close their motor vehicle registration
..stations on their borders. This would
yix a sensible thing to do. They serve
. Jio good purpose whatever. They an
"noy tourists and make traveling less
pleasant. For instance, at Ashland,
Ijfirst town a California car comes to
..after crossing the border, there is a
big sign to the effect that "tourists
;;MUST register HERE." As a matter
..of fact, they do not have to do any
. .thing of the kind. The sign is merely
a Chamber of Commerce scheme for
Jmaking a motorist stop. He may be
..inla hurry to get to Canada, but it
..makes no difference. He is not ac
quainted with the law and thinks he
has to stop and register.
Uhe official state highway signs are
.less offensive. They merely state
.'that visiting cars must register in the
'state, California signs are similar,
"bQt, when we visited California, we
..inquired at nail a dozen places, in
cluding one police station, and none
of them knew where we had to reg
"Jisjer nor how long we could remain
ill the state without registering. One
a. policeman was so ashamed of his
.ignorance that we went to headquar
ters to look it up. The police cap
a Jtaln didn't know either, and rustled
..around to find a book of rules. He
finally found one and then couldn't
find the law. We asked for the book,
J lked in the index and found it for
..him. It cost us about 45 minutes
time. After that we made no inquir
ies, and got out of California without
registering. As a result we didn't
. .h&ye to wash a sticker oil our wind-
shield.
We trust the California Chamber
of Commerce suggestion is taken
seriously, for having to stop and reg
ister a car is a silly remnant of the
hectic days when traveling over a
'state line was an event

CAST OF CHARACTERS
Christine Thorenson came to visit
her cousin, found a mystery.
Bui Yard lev had a reason tor
watching Christine.
George WUmet employed Chris
tine as a Boardwalk artist. . - -
Chandra looked into the future
and into the past
Yesterday: Police, investigating the
murder in Christine's booth, detain
her for questioning. The victim had
been drugged, killed with a dagger.
Bill identifies the murdered woman
as Mrs. Emma Talbert, Christine s
cousin! - .,
CHAPTER VII
For a moment Christine hardly
heard what was being said. For that
moment she stood, isolated by shock,
torn by a pang of affection she had
never before known she felt for the
formally kind, but painfully repress
ed woman she remembered as Cousin
Emma, but had never really known.
Oh. Cousin junmal she tnougnt. l
don't believe vou were ever very
happy. ... I might have been much
nicer to you.
When she came back to her sur
roundings, the inspector was asking
the doorman, Have you noticed any
thing unusual around here in the last
two hours?
"Well" the doorman hesitated
"about half after 11 I did see this
voung lady regretfully he indi
cated Christine "come along and
stop right here; then her boy friend
comes running up those stairs irom
the beach, and they hurry off to
gether. . . . But first she takes him
under the Twentieth Century lights
and kind of looks him over."
Christine flinched as she thought
of that moment while she and Bill
stood there, laughing and talking
with Cousin Emma perhaps already
lying there like that a few feet
away.
"Looks him over?" the inspector
snapped. What do vou mean.'
"1 know what he means." the wait
ress stopped snapping her gum long
enough to put in. "1 seen them, too;
and ne was dripping wet.
- Why, Christine remembered with
an unpleasant start Bill had been
wet. . . . ne had said
"Sav lookit!" The newsbov. who
had been staring at Bill, pointed a
grimy forefinger. "I see him before
all right. I sold all my tomorrow
morning's papers by 10:30; and I was
out along the Boardwalk. And I seen
him in a parked car. He was lcaniii'
out as if he was waitin' for some
thing." The inspector turned to Bill.
"What's your name?" he demanded.
William Yardley."
'Oh. ves run the ridins school.
don't you? .... And you say you
knew Mrs. Talbert?"
"I did."
ed, the concrete was badly cracked. A
fragment moved under her I itinera. . .
At least, site took it for a fragment of
the wall unli. slio reulized Ihnt it was
smooth to her touch as satiny
smooth as silver thut had just been

Afterwards, she re mom be rod

She heui'd Ivoitwlf saying In o unuU,

Then ul sight uf Out stain on tlia

weapon cluttering lu the flour.

been a new-born babe.
"I'll look this over, Chief," he said.
"Although t doubt If (hero are uny
finger-prints left."
"There'll bv mlno," Christine auld
faintly.
The inspector trvutod her to a brief,
sardonic grin.
"Why, so there wllll" ha agreed.
"So it wus lust us easy as that. . . .
Maybe you boys hud batter have an
other look around before tills young
luily finds the niunivrvr under a
piece of seaweed, with a ilmwd con
fession under his arm neatly tied up

He swung Irom his subordinates to

"Do you mean." Bill asked, as the
dismissed witnesses straggled dis
appointedly away, "that we're under
arrest?"
"Not yet. When I arrest people (or
murder." the Inspector snld dryly,
"they slnv arrested."
lie looked it. Christine thought
examining him for the first time. And
yet, under happier circumstances, she
felt that she might have liked and
trusted him.
He was an erect man of early mid
dle ago, with a direct, non-committal
blue gaze, und a quietly incisive
voice. He hud tho upocarunce of one
who might be imuoraoiiully fair so
long as he knew that you were hon
est with him, but Imolucable to any
whom he suspected of lying.
And already she had deceived him
by her tacit ucouirniicnce to the name
by which Mr. Wilmut had Introduced
her. It was going to bo difficult to
explain Unit under those uncom
promising eves.
I must tell him who I really um at
once, Christine thought. Perhaps I
can talk to him alone.
But talking to Inspector Parsons
alone did not prove to bo easy.
(To Be Continued)
The inspector took a small dark
object from his pocket ,
Hecognize thisr he asked.
'I ought to," Bill said after a brief .
inspection. "It's my key holder." I
1 wonder it youd be interested
to know where it was found?"
'I should, rather. Bill looked '
faintly sheepish. "I hadn't even miss- !
ed it Lucky it had my name on it" :
The inspector surveyed him for a
moment; then he coolly reclaimed
the keys and said, "It. was found on ,
yte beach near a rowboat that hadn t
any business to be where it was. That
boat may nave some connection with
Mrs. Talbert s death."
"I saw that bout I had a little run-
in with a fellow right about there
earlier in the evening." i
You d better explain. !
"Nothing to explain." Bill looked
as if he could have kicked himself
for speaking. "I was doine mv best
tp pin his ears back, but ho showed
more speed than I looked tor." 1
Who was this man? ,
"If you don't mind." Bill said olcas-
antly. "we won't go into that any
further at present . . . However,
here he comes now. Perhaps he'll
want to tell you all about it but, I
don't think so."
Two uniformed men pushed into
the booth, holding between them , a
disreputable object in rubber wading
boots. Aside from the boots, he wore
a soiled pail of flannel trousers, a
tattered shirt, and a greasy hat.
"Here's that beachcomber we found
down by the boat Inspector," one of
the men said. "Ho made a break for
it and we had to chase him half way
to Key West." ',
Christine looked at the man with
interest She had seen severn! men
in rubber boots, wading about in the
DacKwash ot low tide that mcirninu
poking with long sticks in the sand
occasionally stooping to pick some
thing up and examine it. When she
had asked Mr. Wilmet if they were
fishing, he had replied. "Well in a
way. They're beachcombers, nftan
they find coins, and sometimes even
jewelry." ;
Evidently Bill had not confined his
etiorts to the pinning back of cars.
One of the man's eves was almost
closed. ... Yet Christine looked at
him in unbelievinuT recoirnitinn. anH
found him staring at her with a kind
of dismayed pleading.
The inspector glanced sharply from
one to the other of them and de
manded, "Evor seen this man before.
Miss?"
Christine hesitated. , . Of course it
couldn't be yet it was. In spite of his
generally disreputable appearance,
the man in boots was unmistakably
Cousin Emma's irreproachable but
ler, Jaspar. : . She put out a hand to
steady herself against the wall of tho
booth. .
