BIBLE THOUGHT FOK TODAY
Ao man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment,
for that trhich put jn to f'dl it up iaketh from the ar
went, and the rent is made u-orte. Matthew 9:16.
For Uplift and Shake-Down
Next as a public nuisance to the drives bequeathed us by
the war for the support of projects that ought to have died
with the war, are the various "weeks" initiated in behalf of
welfare and other movements, each of which appropriates
itself a seven day period to bask in the spotlight of free
publicity. The drives have as objective a shelling out and
the special "weeks" are for spreading the preparatory
propaganda for the touch.
We have a "week" for most every thing now, and a
rational organization in its behalf. Some philanthropic
person, usually a woman, is flattered or coerced into accept'
ing a state chairmanship and she in turn appoints local
chairmen, whose chief duty is to work the local newspapers
for free publication of the blah, bull and bunk turned over to
them in endless quantity.
These efforts to enlist mass support through special
"weeks" are not confined to proposed better homes, hotter
babies, better this and better that, or to clean-up, point-up,
brush-up and dress-up, or to inducing greater consumption of
apples, raisins, wheat, or what-not, but have been utilized by
go-get'em manufacturers to boom sales, and stores are
expected to step-on-the-gas to push the especially selected
article during the chosen period.
We have so many special "weeks" nowadays that the year
is not long enough to hold them and they overlap, duplicate
and double-up on each other, much the same as our various
boards do in their management of state affairs. Life is not
only one drive after another but the year is lengthened out
for the uplift and the shake-down far beyond the original
- 52 weeks.
Now Up to Salem
Rapidity with which Portland business men underwrote
175,000 in stock subscription as Portland's quota of the
proposed Salem linen mill is conclusive proof not only of
their confidence in the project but that the metropolis is at
last sensing' her duty and obligation to the state, and her
recognition of the patent fact that the more Oregon grows,
the greater Portland will become.
This Portland subscription places the success or failure
of the proposed enterprise squarely up to Salem. If the city
fails to raise her $300,000 quota, she will have demonstrated
that she is lacking in the enterprise, progressiveness and
vision that creates cities. She will lose her opportunity to
control and dominate a prospective great industry that
promises to upbuild both city and state.
Many of our well-to-do investors and capitalists have not
as yet subscribed a cent to the proposed linen mill, although
better situated so to do than many who have gone the limit
of their resources. Some of these are heavy investors in
industrial projects in other cities, where their money makes
possible payrolls and progress. It is to be hoped that they
will at least do as much for Salem industry as residents of
Portland are doing. Their attitude has led the Woodburn
Independent to remark:
. Salem is still short of the arquirement of the rcquintte amount of
lock subscriptions for a linen mill. We would nUKKrst that Wood
bum ba permitted to contribute the balance due and the mill be
located here. Tho live citizen of Salem who subscribed could move
to this citr. but we prefer that the dead ones remain where they are.
But Salem cannot now afford to be placed In the quitter class. Give
the Cherrlans a reasonable eicuse to appear In the Rose Festival
parade In Ray raiment and with a "llnon mill" banner flvinir. They
would not care to reprxent the City of the Dead or the un progressive
City of Patches. In fact. Salem has (one too far and must make
Rood and possibly has by the time this appears In print In embrac
ing a moat fitting opportunity to make It the second citr in com
mercial Importance In the stale. Either that or lue the Inritatlon.
Come and take the Capitol; in our lethargic condition we would not
miss the removal.'

The ati anger whom I'd called
Michael turned to me and launhed
softly m the door chwed behind
ua.
How about bavin cocktail

asked. "I iiiiartna thit lhty'11

I laufued too. "No, not at all;
you'll ha-e them in tabloid form
it once I explained "I wanted
to keep a dinner engagement with
out letting my mother know about
it, and ao well, I InvenlcJ an old
school friend, LouUe, with whom
I sfcid I waa to dine and when

Your falher," h supplied, as
I hesitated.
Why would people always lr?irt

'So. Just well, a friend of the

had asked ir.e to dine with him
well, when he aaid he d briny ine

"Delichtful! Now, surely you'll

"But why not just he Miclviel
to me? I asked. "It's dreadful, al
ways having lat name ajid pedi
grees attached to everyone. Let's
be ririjinil."
"Very well. But .eli. me your

called you Diane, but we'll let it
rest at Nancy, for the present.
Now, oa to the library I've got a
ahaktr full cf particularly gocd

Ch, no. I can't," 1 said, draw
ing back. A str.vnge man wasn't so
Lad. but I had no intention of
drinking with him, s, :Wlly ua
I don't anyway. tecaue it's so bad
for tae complexion. "I'm vry late
now, anw -
I won't hear of it!" he prou-at-1
ed. -Certainly I'm to re rtwari-;

I shook my head. NV I'll nay
right here, and you can bring the
cocktail siiaker to me make it a
ort of Btirrup cup. if you iiwtst."
Erinsr.ng Mohammed to the
mountain, eh? All rig.it "
He rushed "ff do-vn the hall. I
quietly opened the front door and
clipped out. the moment he was
out rf sight. Too bad, when he
had been so nice but really, the
.-ituation was getting away from
me. taiid when you're a buccaneer
on the social sea yoj cia'l afford
to let that happen to you.
I rap down the si':ps. dashed
around the comer, ar.d hailed a
taxi. I gave the driver th addrem
of the Italian restaurant where I
va to meet Nick, and drew a deep
breath, which turned into a laugh
rts we passed the very house from
which I'd departed so hastily o
moment to fore.
For on the steps, cocktail shak
er in hand, was the man I'd called
Michael, looking up and down tne
street like a cat from which a
motive hns Jus, escaped.
"Sre cne for Njncy!" I naid
to myself. 'Too bad to run away,
btrt he's too dangerous to play
with."
I blew a kiwi to him out of the
back window what a ahat- th.it
he missed It; I'd have liked to
5een his face. But then, he mtgiii
have followed me. And something
had warned me that all the llttit
tricks Virginia bad taught me
might have proved usoleas again
a uian of his type. 1 like a touch
of disiatlon tn a man's face,
sometime, but It's a warning aig
iml from which I fly when I'm all
atone with him.
I was a v. fully late Nick told me
he'd ben waiting an hour when I
finally arrlvjd, and he was none
too pleasant about it. either.
-Hut I ha 1 su' h a dreadful time
jetting away. ' I told him. HaJ to
hroak another ftngasement to get
htre at all."
He for save me by the time me
i cached the second courhe, and I
jrit-hlm to tnlk about his" work
h w:id the kind of man who
ad re doing that. So he talked
on ind on about the yacht that
had Just come into port, on which
he'd d-jne some work the year be
fore. "She's a beauty the Vaalitl," he
told me. as enthusiastically as if
he'd been talking about some wo
man. "I'd love to have you ace her.
Listen, N-tncr, won't you go over
hr with me orne time? I want
you to see what I realty can do.
Of course, one of the blj men of
the firm dt-s limed this beat, but 1
had n hand In It. I'm ao crazy
to make something of myself in
that line it's my one hope. I've
waited a lot of time, slnce well,
since f so pretty hard hit some
months ago. I didn't care much,
for a white, but lately I've bn
trying hari. and since I met you,
somehow, I've wante I to try even
harder."
"Oh, I knn x that you can do
anything you really want to," I
Udd him; being somebody's lnaplra
tion Is duch un! "I'd love to see
the " anti.'
"Fine. It belongs to chap
named Kirk Jordan, but we won t
say onyihing to him about you so
ing over the bot. Ho's well, I
wouldn t want you to know him."
