Oregon. 7"HE problem of the high cost of building houses has been solved 1 by Charles H. Ingersoll, of Uniorn New Jersey, of the dollar watch family, who has been constructing substantial, handsome, fireproof houses at a cost of $2,200 apiece. The method employed Is similar to that experimented with by Edison a few years ago, with poured concrete. The mold for the house costs 7000, and can be used over again for 100 houses. The plumbing, pipes for wiring, gas and heat are placed ... . 1 A 1 I 1 1 . r it..

It takes less than a montn to mina sucn a nouse. E,veryrning about it -is of concrete, including walls, floors and roof. Each house comprises five rooms, living-room, dining room, kitchen, two bed-iyoms and a' bath-room, and is of attractive design. The same house built of wood cost before the war $3000, and now costs between $4000 and $5000. The structure is absolutely fire-proof and. is built to last forever. Such houses mean cheap er rent and offer the poor opportunity to own their own homes.

FN PKESENTING Herbert Hoover the civic forum medal for services performed during the war, Charle3 Evans Hughes paid tribute to the. former food administrator, as the "great civil ian hero of the world war. Mr. Hughes reviewed Mr. Hoover's relief work in Belgium, declaring that "it was conducted not only without reproach but with such efficiency that it challenged the admiration of the world. "Hoover, as administrator of relief," he said, "was at once financier, diplomat and statesman. He came into contact with the governments of the allies and with the despotisms of the central powers, lie was ready, equipped, lirm, tearless and adequate. "The Americanism of Hoover is shown in every deed, in every utterance. His achievements dignified the nation and es tablished prestige for the American name abroad which none of the failures of diplomacy can obscure. He bears a name illus trious because of his remarkable achievements, but best of it is a name untarnished, expressive not only of exceptional ability but oi the simple lite ol a modest citizen. No higher tribute from a higher source has been paid any living American and is it any wonder that people, regardless of party, clamor for Hoover tor prespent? ' Rippling Rhymes BY WALT MASON "DO yon mean tlic bird of e"ld?" JOY AND GLOOM. In happiness-1 used to go, afoot both near and far; I never knew the depths of woe, until I bought a car. Oh, many versts and paraRangs behind me then I put, communing with the cheer ful gangs who also went afoot. I'd walk a road, perchance a perch, then meet some jocund jay, and we would lean against the church, anu gossip nan tne aay. i took in ail the iragrant morn, when I went on my feet ; I'd pause to view a field of corn, and then a stack of wheat. And here and there I'd rob a tree that luscious apples bore, or chase some busy honey bee that led me to its store. Hut now I ride in pomp and fitate, on tires with non-skid tread; my eyes are glaring, fixed and straight, upon the road ahead. And if anon I glance aside upon the landscape rich, the blamed old car is sure to alide and land me in a ditch. I drive my boat along the pike, and to the wheel I cling, and never see the things I like, or hear the birdlets sing. I do not see the cloud wreaths reel across the blinking stars; I'm hanging to the steering wheel, ano dodging otner cars, i ougnt to store my choo-choo cart and join the trudging flock, aud yet 'twould break my foolish heart if I were doomed to walk.

Jasper happened to mention that he was on the lookout. for Jolly Rob- irts strange bird; and lieniiie Barn Swallow said quickly: ; "Do you mean the bird of gold?" '"The bird of brass. 1 should suy!" Jasper replied, with his nose in the air. "You haven't seen mint, hare you?" ; " "Why, yes!" said Uennie. "He stays right near my house." ' Of course, Jasper Jay knew that Bennle lived In a mini house, 'under the eaves of Farmer Green's barn. So he cried at once: "Then my search is ended! I'll come over to the barn this afternoon and fight the upstart." The news spread quickly the news of the fight that was going to take place,! Farmer Green's barn. And as soon as he heard It, Jolly Robin went straifrht -'to the barn and asked the uolden bird If he wouldn't leave Pleas ant Valley at .once. " . But the great Eorpreous creature para no attention to Jolly Robin's request. Indeed, he seemed not to hear his words at all though Jolly Robin thoupjit the stranser was just pretend inir. . ' Jolly had to sing a (rood many songs that day to keep up his spirits. Some how, he felt that it was all his fault that there was going to be a fight. "I wish I hadn't told anyono about the golden bird," he said. "Maybe he woirtd have flowtv away before Jasper Jay .heard of hie boihg here." Well, Jasper 'lifvited everybody to come to the barn late in the afternoon to see him whip the golden bird and pull out his tall-feathers. 'There's going to be some fun," said Jasper Jay. "Nobody ought to miss it." -: So,.-as the afternoon waned, the feathered folk began to gather In tne orchard. Jolly Robin was there, and his wife, and old Mr. Crow, Rusty Wren. Bobbie Bobolink, Miss Kitty Catbird, and a good many others as well. There was a good deal of noise. for evervone was chattering. And Jas per Jay made almost as great a din as all his friends together. Me Doastea in a loud voice that he was going to give the golden bird a terrible beating. And he was so pleased with himself that some of his companions whispered to one another that it might be a good thing if the golden bird rave Jasper a sound whipping. At hist Jasper Jay called out that he was ready. And then he started for Farmer Green's barn, while the eager crew followed close behind him. They all alighted on the ridge of the barn. And like Jasper Jay, they sat there r a short time and stared at the golden bird, who shimmered like fire in the slanting rays of the setting sun. Jolly Robin and Bennie Barn-Swallow had seen him before; so tney weren't surprised. But all the others gazed at him In amazement. Now, to J.-fsper Jay the golden -bird looked enormous. He was perched high up on a rod which rose above the roof. And he seemed very proud and disdainful. In fact, he paid no at tention at all to tho curious flock that watched him. Fot a little while nobody said a word. And Jasper Jay was the first to speak. ' "Fiddlesticks!" 1 cried. "This is nothing but a barnyarB fowl. He's a roosteir that's what he is!" THURSDAY.

Mr. Stevens explained that the board's policy was to charge off 5 per cent' a year for depreciation and that the board, therefore had held that ships twenty years old or more were worthless. As a matter of fact, he said, the seven ships referred to were easily worth $10, 000,000.

The fundamental question involv ed in the sale of the ships, Mr. Stev ens said, was whether the? could be operated as cheaply under the Am erican flag as are rofeign ships. Sale Merely Subsidy - ."The only way we can find that out is for tho shipping board to re fit the ship.s and operate them for a while," he said. "To" sell the ships to American concerns for tho amount offered would be to give an indirect subsidy of millions of dollars and if the same policy were followed with the cargo ships the. subsidy would feach billions."
