PAGE SIX THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON LAST OF VIRGIN PINE BELTS PUT Washington. The last great tract of untouched pine timber m the United States .and the last frontier of settlement, are about to pass. :- Behind the announcement of the forest service regarding the proposed sale of timber in the Malheur national forest, Oregon says a statement by- the National Manufacturers association, lum bermen see the last opportunity for their trade to deal initially with a virgin pine forest of great extent, and the last opportunity for the settler to take possession of a region, now remote from rail ways and markets, and virtually unused agriculturally. """The opening for sale of the timber of the Bear valley unit- of the Malheur national forest," says the statement, "affects 890,000, 000 feet of the great Blue moun tains forest now and means the beginning of the lumbering of the entire forest with Its more than 7,000,000.000 feet of timber. To begin the lumbering operations it will be necessary to build about -SO miles of main line railway, be sides tap lines, which will open tor settlement an agricultural country with area of 10,000 square miles. - "While this ancient forest is doomed, the terms are such that the succession of Its sylvan poster ity is secure. Though the timber now offered for sale by the for est service is sufficient only to keep a moderate sized mill run ning continuously for twenty years the service will at the end of that time open up another unit and. eventually 7,000,000.000 feet of timber will be available It is reckoned that by the time the last unit is cut over, the first one will be ready for cutting again." WOMEN REPLACING , MEN AS GAMBLERS New York, Sept. 15. Women are replacing men gamblers aboard ocean liners. "Little Eddie" Mallon, the " watchdog of the piers, whose Job it is to "spot" sea-going gamblers, is authority tor the statement. He says the men claim they are going straight because they have found that travelers are too careful and Bhip'a officers too watchful. Most of the gamblers, says Mal lon, came to that conclusion Just about the time a White Star cap tain sent a well known gambler to the detention hospital aboard his ship following a spirited little party in the smoking room, when fists were brought into action. But where men have dropped cards and dice, women have taken them up. The women are known to Eddie and to other detectives who help him watch the piers, but the problem is to catch them. . Mrs. A. B. Conley of La Grande has attained the distinction of be coming a great-great-grandmother by the birth of an infant daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Gray of Cove. Gar Worst Menace, Parents Lax, Avers Police Matron Here A woman a public official has gone through an entire inter view, discussing the boy and girl problem, without using the word "flapper" once. That's news. And the woman, Mrs. Elsie Eisaman, Salem 1 police matron, felt that, if somebody must be ar raigned for contributing to youth ful delinquency It should be the parents rather than the daughters and sons. , Mrs. Eisaman's observations were offered after she had studied Lhe local situation for many months. Among other things she believes. Parents Held Lax. That parents are too lax , in their training of children. That they're too bimy keeping up with the times. That the automobilo is a far greater menace to girls than is the dance hall. That smoking Is becoming rath er common among girls and worn en. That it's a bad thing. That Salem should have a muni cipal dance hall where dancers might be properly supervised by Salem parents and officials. Church Pews Empty. "I believe the boys and girls oi today do not get the riligioue training that was offered a gener ation or two ago," Mrs. Eisaman said. "The parents, perhaps, are too busy too busy earning enough money to buy an automo bile or another automobile. At any rate the church pews are showing fewer and fewer young people, while their attendance at the movies is on the increase. In saying that I am not criticizing the motion picture theater." In dealing with the dance hall question Mrs. Eisaman said that, although it may offer objection able features, it is far better for girls than Is the automobile par ty. Smoking More Common. "I had far rather have my chil dren dancing than away some where in an automobile," she ex plained. Mrs. Eisaman said she is con vinced that smoking is becoming more and more common among women and girls of the commun ity. Naturally no figures may be obtained on the number of addicts, she explained. She did not know whether liq uor is being used by girls of the present generation. There are no indications of it near Salem. Municipal Hall Favored. It was on the matter of the mu nicipal dance hall that Mrs. Eisa man became most enthusiastic. "I am convinced," she declared, "that it would solve a number of our most annoying problems. If dance were conducted under the supervision of city officials, Sa lem fathers and mothers could be obtained as patrons and patron esses. Men and women could be properly introduced. Proper music and that does not mean the elimination' of the type of music which young people want could be played. The hall could be self- supporting. "No doubt," she continued, "this plan would receive a lot of criticism from persons averse to dancing. The fact remains, how ever, that we do have the dance hall with us and that it is likely to remain. As long as we do have !t, ought it not to be conducted in the safest manner possible?" It is understood that several city officials have expressed ap proval of the plan. In returning to the subject of home training, Mrs. Eisaman de clared that too many fathers and mothers are willing to turn their sons and daughters over to some organization or institution for training to avoid assuming this re sponsibility themselves. ASK COURT OF San Antonio, Sept. 15. An International Court of Arbitration "whose purpose and function shall be the avoidance of war, end the peaceful settlement of international disputes," is formally resolved upon by the Pan-American Bound Table of- San Antonio, according to an nouncement today by Florence T, Griswold, director general. Dispatches from Washington re cently giving prominence to a pro posed American League of Nations have occasioned the sending of let ters by the director general of the local Round Table to Dr. L. S. Rows, director general of the Pan-Ameri can Union, Washington, and presi dent Brum of Uruguary, South America, suggesting that a Pan- Amorican .'ourt of Arbitration would be of greater- significance. The republics of South America, for many yeaite, frequently have made effective use of the principles of arbitration, reads a resolution of the local body, sent to Washington, and "in one instance the president of the United States tendered the services of this hemisphere, to Ten der all possible assitance in solv ing an international dispute be tween Chile and Peru."

CROOK IS HUB OF THIS STATE Washington, D. C. The., center of the United States, according to the Coast and Geodetic Survey, is at exactly 39 degrees 50 minutes north latitude, and 98 degrees -35 minutes west longitude. It may be said that point is in northern Kan sas, in Smith county, .in fact. Trust the Smiths to be there. The ideal "Hub" of population, government and industry, should also be the geographical center, the survey believes, but that is true in few, if any, cases. "Hubs just grow up regardless, and the center of population in this country is yearly moving westward. The geographical center of Ore gon is in Crook county, 25 miles southeast of. Prineville, near the postoffice of Crook.

All wrote with wondering approval of the pa geantry attending the arrival of the Queen of Sheba at King Sol omon s court, and declared the chariot race cheered by- 5000 spectators to be one of the most thrilling scenes ever shown on the screen.
