Dispatches in the past few weeks have carried the news oT half a dozen automobile smash-ups due to the pernicious activities of buzzing bees, circling about drivers' heads locat ing suitable landings for attack. Sooner or later, in repelling the aerial invaders; control of the machines was lost and the cars landed in the gutter and their occupants in the hospital. For a bee to wreck an auto constitutes a crime that should no longer be tolerated. It calls for speedy action by our welfare societies to provide drastic measures for suppression. Our roads must be made safe. There "orta be a law" com pelling busy-body bees to keep off the highways and away from motor-cars,' providing compulsory progressive penalties of fine and (not or) imprisonment for violations. Inasmuch as no sober, respectable, law-abiding bee would be found bumming on the public highway, the mere fact of the presence of one in or about motor cars thereon, should be prima facie evidence of a mixture of nectar and gasoline fatal alike to bees and autos. It should not be necessary to even sniff the breath of a bee for evidence, and the federal supreme court will doubtless hold a search warrant as unnecessary for the bee as the auto, both being transients. Here is an opportunity for a new uplift movement a society for the suppression of boozy bees. Show the public on the films the true character of the bee, what a terrific looking creature it really is under the microscope, illustrate the tragedies resulting from the buzzing challenge to the chauffeur, plead eloquently for the defense of society from such a monster, and it will be easy to pry the pennies from the pockets of the poor to be spent without accounting in a "holy cause. Such laws, once on the statute books, where they would be speedily placed by a complaisant legislature, would become sacred and the salvation of the government depend upon their strict enforcement, necessitating a special Boozy Bee bureau, with a staff of snoopers paid at public expense to locate and suppress, not only the offending bee, but the sweet-scented flower that brewed its jag and caused its downfall. This nation must and shall be saved cost what it may! Abas the bee! nuk. I didtt'c llko lUt H-rL of ih picture quits to w1. Th tele pht.no ran Just then, and the maid mid It wai fr m. I flew to an- iwr It. 'ill)o, Nanry! It wa Nick Wayne' vtice. "Come on lor a nice tramp thrtili the Park. I'm at the corner dm? atora." "Oh, I can't I'm to ao.-ry " My regret waa sincere. I waa Ions ig 10 get out of tha atmosphere Out Frank Harriaon and Virginia together m;nia?el t create. uiak it an hour latar and 1 11 came. "Fine wo'll havo dinner togeth er somewhere where it only coats a dollar!" he laufflml. I went back to the living-room wondering whether to tell Vir ginia that I wni going to dine with Nick, or Just to camouflage it a lit. One ran always aummon 'an old schrol friend" to duty in such a caso :m th tt. And Virginia ros- I I'Ctcd vom'j of mine because they hod money and social position. If I murmured that a girl belonged lo the Junior League, lived in a Kmart neighborhood and went with the rltslit oaople, Virginia would let me go even If Fiank Harrison was at the. hoimo. An I went back to the living room I wondered what it would be lilia to have a mother whom ne needn't deceive. What a lux ury! I d never hai anyone in whom I could confide as nom trlrls do in their mothers or father. I'd hoped Jim W3uM be that sort of ponson what a hope! "Mr. Harrison has asked us to dine with him, dear." Virginia pur- cd aa I curled up in the big chair by tho flro. "lai't that delight ful?" 'Oh. but I I'va Just accepted an Invitation for dinner," I told her; "then, warned by her Crown of displeasure. "I'm dining with I.oulse you remember her." She didn't of ourse, aa I'd Irt- vemted Louise on the spur of the moment. But she smiled and nod ded. Someilmea I marvelled at tne with which oven so clever a woman aa Virginia could be dc Build Up Salem The best way to build up Salem and Oregon and create permanent prosperity is to firmneg our enterprises at home, This keeps both the control attd profits here, and insures a policy favorable to the community and the state. Many of our industries have been established by outside capital. This sends the profits away and so helps keep the state poor. With non-resident control, the profits become the sole consideration and there is no interest in the welfare of the community. Oregon capital has too frequently been sent out of the stale for bonds and securities that develop other sections and upbuild other cities, instead of being kept working here. Industries, like canneries and fruit processing, we have left to outside capital. Consequently many of our canneries are owned in California, their output is misbranded as California product, their only interest is to pay as little as possible to farmers and in wages and send to California as large profits as possible a policy destined to impoverish the state and enrich California. Oregon has been kept poor and lagging behind her sister states in the program of development simply because her own citizens had so little faith in their own state that they make their investments elsewhere. The profits made here consequently go away to enrich -those who have had faith in Oregon's future and put it into industrial production and Oregon remains a backward state. The proposed linen mill offers an opportunity to Correct this situation, to develop a great Oregon industry and keep its control and its profits in Oregon. With Oregon manage ment, the welfare of the country becomes inseperately linked with the welfare of the industry. Climatically and otherwise, the Willamette valley is superbly adapted-for the growing of superior flax fibre, and undoubtedly such an industry will be developed by outside capital and its profits leave the country, if we do not underwrite the project ourselves. It is therefore, not only sound sense and good logic to subscribe for stock in the proposed linen mill, but fine business judgment. In no other way can the money be better invested for upbuilding Salem and developing the valley. As the Portland Journal remarks: Nobody lias ever hoard a derogatory word concerning a pcvwlhte groat flax Industry In Oregon. Nobody hua aver hoard from any flax expert anythtug but the most glowing expressions of what can he done here In the flax field. The fibre eqilnN In bent In Rrlglum or Iretaud. 8otl and climate are -perfectly sultnd. The lndualry would he another avonut Into which to draw agricultural production and thereby help diversity. And the world needs llnenn nnd other products of flax, and Ih cl unorlng to pay big nrleea for thmn. And Salem In so located a lo be tho natural center of a hlg flax enterprise. At this dUt nitre, tt looks llVe this Is the time for Salem rltUens to bittld up Salem. Cfived, Quet-t, that It a euler to fool the cleverest people than the tlmpldat ones aa a rule! "Ono of Nncy'e school friend." aha explained to Prank Harrtaoa. who was flowering In alienee over by the wlndotr. Ho looked absurd ly eomfnrtiMe. Virginia had put a cushion behind his back, and a standing aah tray bwl le hla chair .ir.d trwre . a footstool near, and the floor lamp waa adjusted no that the Ugrht wouldn't hit bid ss j II thi good, old-fashioned Ututica for U.dlng a nuui! "Yea I haven't aeen Louisa foi a Ions time,' I murmured as re gretfully as if Louise had really ex- lted. "We're gcing to have a good talk about old limes at school." "Well, of coarse, under those cir- eumeUincee I guess we can let you ko," Frank Harrison said, with clumsy iraiety. "Of course. If it was ho me handsome young Willie-boy, now " My heart turned a few hand- Kprlnsi just a warding of impend lug danger. But I ami led calmly enough. "Where does Louise live, dear I've forgotten," Virginia asked, moving the humidor to where he could easily reach It. I could see th:it she was trying to place this friend of mine. 'Ye we could drop you at her house when we go to dinner," Frank added. Caught' I gave a number . on 1'ark Avenue, Juit at random, hop ing it v a -j ona of the hntse apart ment houses where so many scart peoplo live. "Oh yes. I used to know some I eo pi 3 who lived there say, by jiiikjs, they were the parents of the girl thai young fellow you intro duced me to the other night was with. You know Nick something cr-other. He's a bad egg, that fel low. Wrecked that sweet girl's ha p pines paronta hai to take her to Kurope to got her away from him. Just ft regular booxor no good at all. Thought he was gcing to get into society and land a foi tu.ie by marrying her, and when he found out that Daddy &II11 held the purse utrlnga and expect ed him to aupport hla wife well, I couldn't begin to tell you how he treated tho girl. Shameful. Vtir. he , I stood up so quickly that my tea cup crashed from the arm of my chair to the floor. . "I can't let one of my friends be slandered In my presence!" I said i harply, turning toward td door. en thjusn I'd knawn Nick Just a few hours, really, I didn't like to hoar him eooken of that way. "The child is so loyal to her fiiend Jest like me," I heard Virginia say as I rushed out of the room. "It doesn't matter what they do, she Is devoted to them. If enly she had had a father to stand by her when her own huaband I couldn't help smiling at that. Trust Virgin i.i to try to take ad vantage of everv twist of the con verpafl m. She'd get a lot of sym pathy for me and henelf too out of that one! l-'ranl: Harrison drove me to the Park Avenue address while Vir ginia drosfred for dinntr. My heart sank when I realized that it not an apartment house, hut a small, private one. And he had the car wait whilo he escorted me up the steps to the front door! Ho rang the bell, and I waited bravely enough. What would I do! If a butler opened the door and I naked for some-me w ho didn't live t'.ie.-e But a perfectly nice man open ed It. not n young man, but just that fascinating age when thore's a tou?h of gray on tho temples and some) quizzical wrinkles around the eyes. I looked straight at him and said "Oh Michael, how nice to ee you! Has Louise come yet? I'm e.lning with her." Tdy heart leaped to my throat. Would he play up He gaspel, and then smiled, al most chuckled. "Yes, she's here," he said 'We've been waiting for ycu." Frank Harrison said goodbye and lefi find I walked Into that blrange house, with a perfectly strange nun.
