TUESDAY, MAY. 9, 1922. THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON PAGE FOUR CapitaibJournal Salem, Oregon ' An Independent Newspaper, Published every evening except Sunday Telephone SI; news 82 GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor and Publisher Wooden Nutmegs TJpn Hnr Larrraman. the Portland newspaper correspond ent writing from Shanghai, China, to the Oregonian, de clares that the Chinese distrust Americans ana nave no ae sire to trade with them because the word of an American cannot be relied upon. He says: I have no wdah to write the oft-repeated assertion that he Is, generally speaking, the most distrusted business emissary of them all. It is put more badly than tifat. They say that this aversion to and suspicion ot American business men arise from the fact that so many of them have proved to be false to their word and their contracts, unstable as water, and that it is safe only to have cash or goods in hand when you do business with them. M you are skeptical, in your shame at these drastic charges, your informants will cite instance after Instance, which by their very nature overshadow the honest and the honorable. The Chinese have no wish, it is said, for commercial dealings with Americans. In othe. ords, the old Yankee wooden nutmeg idea of sharp practice still dominates American foreign commerce, iiiai ha it does commerce at home. A century ago such fVia wo Vinrnrtpristic of the Yankee trader and a imnrlrMi vears evidently has not resulted in much improve ment with the result that Americans cannot hold their own with other nations in foreign marts. We know that in America if contracts are made for pro ducts and the market slumps, the purchaser seeks to evade liis contract, while if the market rises, the seller seeKs to rW? wa know that substitutions are only limited by opportunities to work them off; we know that we buy Bhnrfflv for wool and caper for leather and are skinnea ana trimmed and profiteered upon at every turn, but we thought our captains of industry gave the foreigners a better aeai. and we reallv cannot blame them for bannning our traders In order to beat the wooden nutmeg game in the land r.f t.h free and the home of the brave, we have had to create various boards, commissions, inspections and tests to in sure that we are getting what we pay for. I he foreigner, nnf. havinc Ruch conmlicated machinery to insure a square deal, naturally drops our products after a trial or two. He has the world to pick from why buy wooden nutmegs witn thA cpnmne articles offered 7 Continuing, Mr. Lampman says that "the spoken word of an English agent or tirm is sulticient lor tne tninese just as it is for our Oregon hop growers. And Americans wonder why, with sharp practice the national trait and tariff walls to shut out trade, the United States makes such slow headway in foreign commerce and are out-distanced vv the free trade Enclish who make irood their agreements When Americans cease placing trade embargoes in the shape of tariffs, stop trying to sell wooden nutmegs and learn toon fVioiV wnrd niir fnrpio-n trade will hold its own. Un til then, neither ship subsides nor reciprocal tariffs will overcome the handicaps of broken laitn ana tantr. wans. Recall Absurdity The absurdity of the recall is being amply demonstra ted in. the effort to oust Messrs Williams and Buchtel of the Public Service Commission. Under the law, people vote upon a recall and then upon the candidates. Both of the officials to be recalled must be candidates upon the ticket for reelection against any and all candidates that may be selected by any and all assembles of 100 or over who meet, elect a chairman and secretary and proceed to nom innte those who are to contest the election with the in cumbents. Three assemblies have already placed three sepcrate tickets in the field and more are probable. Several of the candidates presented are those who were instrumental in instituting the recall and whose only object, it is now plain ly apparent, was to secure the commissioners jobs for, them selves. Such great interest in public affairs usually has some such inspiration. None of the candidates presented are as well qualified for the office as those they seek to re place, and nothing would be gained by their election, ex cept general demoralization in the commission. Change at this time, with an appointive commission in prospect, will only create confusion and remedy nothing. It is possible, under the law, that the people may vote to recall the two commissioners and then reelect both of them which is typical of the recall provision and would serve to illustrate its futility and foolishness. L A DRAMATIC STORY OP LOVE AND ROMANCE OVE'S ASQUERADE Br Hah McGlone Gibson r : No kind of weather suits everybody. Nothing is more serious to a humorist than being funny. Very few dancing masters escape the divorce court. The most common mistake of us all is start ing things, and then laying down no the job. More than half of us are-dissatisfied with our given names. One sure sijrn of love is when a girl puts her purse in a man's pocket to carry. IIcz Heck Says: "A kiss can't be jedged by the noise it makes." Glendeninic'i Way With Women "I never heard a woman Bpeau. of Harry Qlendenlng who did not mention his smlie," continued Clavering. "I believe that "smile has brought him nearly everything he he wanted. - "It's as Inscrutable, as provoca tive of curiosity as the smile Leonardo DeVlncl painted on the lips of his Mona Lisa, and yet there Is nothing feminine about it. "One woman discussing it with me. said observingly: 'Harry's smile expresses unbounded confi dence in men; a sincere and sym pathetic interest in all women; arud above all, an unwavering In terest in all that concerns his friends' welfare.' " 'There's something baffling about It. Vou instinctively know that under its seeming openness, there is something that 1b not giv en to you, nor to anyone else; something you are always trying .o grasp and which eludes you. It piques your vanity. You want to jolve its mysterious appeal. Harry Jlendening's smile has 'made motg women love him than anything j I ae about him. One might call it the cheerful host of something v-blch exerts a most enveloping fascination.' " "Jimmy," Interrupted Dr. Mil ton, with a touch of sarcasm In ills voice, "when you speak of Jlendenlng's fascination for wo uen you give too much credit to lis smile. Much too much. From .vhat I hear, he seems to have worked harder and with greater ifflclency in his flirtations than ue has in his business." "You forget, Milt," answered Jlaverlng, "that I am only repeat ing what the lady said to me. But let me add on my own ac :ount that all that I have known if Harry Glendenlng's affairs with women bears out the conten .lon. "I remember very well his "first love affair. He was only a 'kid' twelve I think. "One day at school the little laughter of the richest man in own was brought up before the whole class and roundly repri manded. She was a staunch lit tle thing and received the teach er's rebuke most courageously but as her tear-filled eyes wander id about the room they inadvert antly rested upon Harry. Slowly there broke over his face that tame smile of compassion, sympa thy and understanding that so in trigues women today. Then and there she tell desperately In love with him. She bowed feefore that jmile, conquered as scores ot wo men have been since. "After school she came to me and asked me to bring him to a party she was giving on Saturday. "During the affair she literally ind figuratively followed him around. It 'was 'puppy-love', of :ourBe, but it had a deeper mean 'ng, too. It was indication ot Glen kienings power over women. He hag never lost it. I remember how ut out the little girl's mother was. The child took the mother's rebuke with: " 'Harry says I am making him very happy.' "'Is that all he says to you, my dAr!' " 'Nearly. He Just : sits and smiles at me and lets me talk about everything I want to talk about. When I sa, "Let's sit here. I don't want to go over there and play with those boysand girls he doesn't say: Oh, come on I want to go," like all the rest ot the boys do. He just crinkles up his eyes and turns up the corners of his mouth at me and says: " 'I don't want to go either. I want to stay here with you." ' " ' "That subtile flattery. I think, has been the secret of Ulenden lug's success with women all his life. He is not entirely to blame, his Interest is sincere if he shows any. I have never known him to pay attention to any woman very long who bored him, except his wife. I tell you," and Clavering spoke earnestly, forcibly, "Glen dening in. the gentlest man I ever knew. His father gave him that attribute and he has that rare quality of looking interested and interesting while saying nothing. He really is probably very much interested at that moment, but whether it is with the woman who is talking to him 'or some thing that he is thinking about, no one can ever tell. - "Harry 1b not a talkative per son, as you know, Dave. I don't think he ever said much .about himself or his lite affairs, even to me, until one day last spring when he came Into my office and with out preamble said: - " 'Jim, my wife is going to sue me for divorce.'" ' . . Tomorrow Glendenlng's Con $60,000 FOUND IN DEAD MAN'S CELLAR Great Bend, Kan., May 9 H. J. Brack, a pioneer farmer of Western Kansas. often told friends he "had a cellar under his house as good as gold!".'

EXHAUSTED NEI THOUSANDS VET MAKE FAILURES !E ES NLIFE Doctor Tells What To Do When your nerve force becomes weakened, all the vital, organs of your body lose ' their normal strength and vigor, and as a re sult, all kinds of alarming symp toms may appear, sucn as nervous irritability, heart palpitation, Indi gestion, pains in the front or In the hn-k of the head, more especially at the base of the brain,and a gen- oral weakened, run down condi tion. In such cases it's worse than sniiuh tn wflte vour time taking stimulating medicines or narcotic druKS. Your starving nerve ram miiat have more nerve force, the same ae a starving person must have food. This is best accomplish ed by increasing the activity and power of the nerve lorce maniug organs, the principal one of whlth is the blood. This can be quickly and most effectively accomplished by tne iree use ot nuAaiou which not only incrases the activ ity of the blood making organs, but It feeds true red blood food direct ly to the blood Itself, thereby help ing to create millions of new red blood cells. This wonderfully in creases the power of the blood to help manufacture new nerve force, the same as enriching the soil In creases Its power to grow more wheat, corn or oats. If you are suffering from nerve force exhaustion, you can quickly and easily prove to yourself the power of Nuxated Iron to . help overcome your condition and make you strong and vigorous again by the following simple test: Make a written memorandum of all your symptoms befor you start, then at the end of two weeks, go ovei your symptoms again and place a check mark after any that arc left, and you can at once eee what it has done for you. If you have not obtained most surprising results, all and even more than you expect, the manufacturers will promptly refund your money. " (adv) Pimples Keep Young Men-' Down!
