Portland is at last realizing that the 1925 exposition is done for as far as financing by state taxation through legislative enactment is concerned. Portland must f mancc her fair by private subscription, which does not in the least appeal to the promoters who had figured on the peoples paying the bills, or put the proposal up to popular vote by initiative next November when the action of the legislature will undoubtedly be ratified. But though Portland realizes that something has hap pened, it does not seem to comprehend just how it happened or "who tolled the bell" and interesting versions are being offered. The Oregon Journal says that the result was due to the scalawag Multnomah delegation. The Oregonian blames the sectionalism of the country press. The News damns the politicians seeking hayseed popularity, while the Telegram hints that "by hidden channel the movement to kill the fair with up-state opposition originated in Portland." "Who made the Up-state legislators think that Oregon doesn't' need a fair?" wails the Telegram in one of its Cock Robin laments. The answer is simple. The overburdened taxpayers who rose in spontaneous rebellion against addi tional taxation. It would have cost most up-state legislators their chance of re-election to favor fair taxation, and they voted accordingly. In this connection, the up-state does its own thinking. There was no well financed propaganda, in fact no organ ized campaign against the exposition. There was no expen- sive lobby maintanied, no wining and dining and entertaining! to kill the bill. There were no frantic calls for help to bring influential men streaming to the capitol to apply pressure to change votes, no threats of financial and political ruin, no bull-dozing and coercion, no promise of political support and newspaper publicity as bribes to the ambitious, to augmentj fair opposition but all these things were in daily evidence in hpVinlf nP the pYrvmitinn in thp. effort to break the ranks of the 'solid fourteen" senators who voted their convictions and the desires of their constituents and are honored oppnrHinfrl v Who killed Cock Robin and who tolled the bell?"

Destroying An Asset Salem is famed as one of the most beautiful cities of Oregon. The chief feature in Salem's attractiveness is the beauti ful civic center, with its stately public buildings and its parked grounds, its shaded avenues, bounded on all sides by fine residences, well kept homes with spacious lawns and ornamental shrubbery. It is now proposed to destroy the symmetry and harmony of this civic center by sandwiching in a garage and sales room between fine residences and palatial apartment houses. The need, of restrictive zoning laws was never more ap parent to protect residence property against unnecessary business invasion and to maintain the desirability and beauty of the city against those who would commercialize for private profit a community asset and in the process work injury to the city. The property in question i3 in no sense a business location. There are a hundred more suitable sites for garages with out invading the choicest residence sections and marring the charm of the civic center sites better adapted to business and the utilization of which would increase adjacent property values instead of depreciate them. The city council should, on the grounds of public policy, refuse building permits for such structures. There is said to be an old statute, formerly utilized to prevent the erection of livery stables and saloons in residence quarters as public nuisances, and the same law should be envoked against garages amidst dwellings on the civic center. If this statute proves inadequate and the owners and builders persist in defying public sentiment, a proper zoning law should be rushed through the council to safeguard our scenic assets and protect property values. Vireinia'i Plans Tommy Warner, manlike, feared the tears that poured down my cheeks more than be would an avalanche; He wanted to calm me, but be misunderstood. "Don't cry Virginia! Don't! It would have been a mlBtake to have given you Gloria's part." "I know It, Tommy. I couldn't have flUed it. It would have been the end of my career had you given It to me." "Gosh! I wish all the budding young picture actresses were as sensible. But what are you crying tort" "I am afraid, Tommy. I am an awful coward." "Perhaps Virginia. But you haven't shown it up to now. It took nerve to come out here and tackle the movies. It is the hard est game in the world for a girl like you." "That Is Just It. I never would have come had I known what I do now. Why, Tommy, I don't know what I am going to do next! Ria Is going away and I don't know who I can go to with my trouble. I'm so lonesome," and my tears came anew. "Here, here, buck up! You have me, you know," reminded Tommy in alarm. "Yes, but you aren't a girl." "No, I am not, thank heaven! But what worries you?" "I don't know where I will get another Job. I thought this one would take two or three weeks at least." "It will be easy for you to get a job In atmosphere. Did you call up the Service Bureau?" "No. I didn't know that I had to do that." "Well, do It Just as soon as you get back to the apartment. And listen, Virginia, u you want any thing Just call on me. I am going to be awful busy and I may not have time to call and see you, but I am here. Kemember thai and I will help you if you want me." "I am going ko move, Tommy, tomorrow probably, and I will give you my number as tsoon as I find a place.' "Why are you moving?" "The apartment is too expen sive for me alone." "Well, maybe you are right, Vir- J ginla," Tommy replied. "I'll get a single one some where," I assured blme. Tommy, with his usual under standing, did not offer to come up to the apartment and I hurried out of the car much comforted by his cheerful: -Call me grandfather could not live always. Ria was not In the apartment when I arrived. I called up the service bureau and received the comforting message that they had been trying to get me, but, falling, the Job had been given to some one else. I was too tired to think of get ting anything to eat and I pulled out my bed from the buffet and dropped on it without undressing, I felt that I had been sleeping for hours when Ria came In and shook me gently. "Virgie, I know it is horrid to waken you, but you must undress yourself, and besides, I am leaving early tomorrow. "Kitty Dalton has agreed to go with me to Santa Barbara and I am taking her and a nurse on the morning train. And do you know the little wretch insists that she didn't drink any liquor except at Herb's bungalow. Herb says she Is laying a plan for a big damage suit when she gets better. : But I'll spoil that some way." I beard Ria as though in a dream as I, fumbling, undressed myself and literally fell into bed. I do 'not know whether Ria said more, and in the morning when I awakened she had gone. "What will she think of me?" I reproached myself. And then I spied a note. "Virgie dear," it read, " it isn't far to Santa Barbara and I know just how tired you were last night, so I did not waken you. Tommy called up and told me that you were finished at the studio and I knew that the kindest thing I could do for you was to let you sleep this morning. If you do not get a Job right away, come to Santa Barbara and see me. Tom my seemed to think that you were discouraged. Don't try to go too fast, dear. In this business tak ing things slowly Is better in the end. I have taken a furnished house at Santa Barbara and I will write you the street address and telephone number as 'Boon as I ar rive.

All may view the exhibits when the stage is all set, but few know what goes on behind the scenes which the "show" is being prepared for presentation. This interesting "behind the scenes" series of photographs was made at the Mu seum of Natural History, in New York City, probably the greatest of its kind In the world. Thous ands of dollars are spent annually in keeping the relics and exhibits of prehistoric times there in a state of preservation, so that fu ture generations, as well as the present, may view and learn. Several hundred experts are kept busy repairing nad mounting- relics which are constantly be Ing gathered the world over by the Museum's expeditions. Most of the relics are priceless, and the greatest of care must be taken in their handling. The top photo graph shows experts assembling the bones of a horned Dinosaur Triceraton, recently acquired by the Museum. The bones are often found imbedded in earth and rock and must be carefully chiseled out. Below the skin of a dach shund is shown being fitted over a clay model.
