The Age of Service Future historians will probably view our recent discovery o "service" as one of the great achievements of the times in fact it colors iill of our constantly increasing activities of the federal government in its ever widening circle of paternalism, necessitating so many laws that we have become the most over-legislated land on earth. Upon it also is founded the uplift and about it are grouped all kinds of welfare movements, most of which have their inspiration, like paternalism, in providing jobs for the organizers from the dues of the servitors. Service is Uncle Sam's main idea. lie begins at the cradle by providing infant and maternity care. He demon strates how to feed the baby and rear it. He interests himself in education and afterwards in securing jobs for us. He inspects our food, regulates our drink and looks after our health. He tells us how to keep books, inspects our records, regulates our business and in many other ways does for us what we formerly did for ourselves. So much service is rendered that it requires over half a million federal employes and a payroll aggregating over $700,000,000 a year. Service that the government fails to render is supplied by the 80 or 90 state boards and commissions which cover pretty nearly every phase of human life busying themselves in other peoples affairs affairs at the hitter's expense. Typical of the state service is that provided by our higher educational institutions. At the Agricultural college we can learn such farming fundamentals as drawing, painting and clay modeling; such rustic occupations as jewelry making, cafeteria management or movie-picture photography; or such agricultural necessities as dramatics, oratory and story telling. Wo can learn most of these at the University also, but at the latter place we can study courses in the classics, such as dancing, fencing, and drawing the long bow; or if scientifically inclined we can take courses in tennis, hockey, basket-ball, base-ball and other liberal arts. Higher educa tion in Oregon is a synonym for service. The service idea however is not confined to officialdom. It pervades nil walks of life. When business begins to lag and memberships to drop in any organization, nowadays, and something "has to be did" to infuse pep to keep the ball moving and the members and money rolling in, a new form of service is devised to stimulate and revive, some new charily or welfare work is undertaken to awaken enthus iasm, and an organized drive made to sandbag the public to finance the philanthropic undertaking for which the organ ization pockets the glory and the officers spend the money. Then there are the luncheon clubs, where service is swallowed with a square meal once a week amid songs and propaganda, as the members soft-soap each other over their enterprise in discovering the golden rule, and then, with the spiritual elation of a full stomach, go back to skin the suckers for another week. The service idea may be said to have reached its zenith, its logical climax, in the Ku Klux Klan. It's "noblest lineage in all history," namely a blatant Georgia jack-ass, provided Ihe motto "Not. for self, but for others," the "others", of course, being the wizards, dragons and kleagles for whose i.....r;i l.im.iii- ivn rnnmipivializcd and the boobs were bumped out of the ten-spots. The service consisted in saving the "while, protesiant, Gentile Nordics" through burning fiery crosses upon hilltops, night-riding iir night shirts or in mass voting for the politician who paid the price into the pockets of the aforesaid wizards, dragons and kleagles. This absurd satire on the uplift has had much the same effect upon service as Cervanle's Hon Quixote had upon the chivalry of feudalism which it tU-M rowed by its ridicule. So the collapse of the Klan marks the beginning of Ihe end of the age of service. HORIZONTAL i. Musical Instrument 5. Sudden iKiiff limit iiln 1. Jiit iKfst body of water II. Also 12.

There could be no mistake about Its being her husband whom I had scon at the door ot her part men t house. If ho went to her and begged her to forgive him, would she do It? Or would she be hard and relent lens and turn away from him ? I tried to put myself in her place if Jim came to me and wanted to begin all over aaln, I was sure that I'd bo glad to do it. Hut then, even though I'd tried hard I'd nev-' er been able to stop caring for hlm. I got up early the nevt morning i thinking that I'd stop on the way homo from my morning walk and see Nathalie. I was quite sure that she would tell me if .she and her husband had made up their difference. Tho park was beautiful, and al most empty. There were a few horseback riders on , tho bridle paths, and I pawned two girls who evidently were walking to work. I couldn't help wishing that I could do something practical, and had a job, so that my time amounted to something. felt very useless, just good for nothing. It was only when I re membered that I hod been of some help to Nathalie, and to Nick, that I felt more cheerful. I waa tramping along a side path, enjoying the sharp, crisp air when I heard n man's voice flay .Mrs. Larrabee! Just a moment!" Turning quickly I saw Phil Le- land at my side. He was anything but welcome. After the events that had taken place at our last meeting I hadn't, expected ever to see him again if he could possibly help it. "I won't keep you long," he said abruptly. "I just want to warn you that if I can get even with you for what you did the other nteht I'll do it." "You mean my spoiling your plan to blackmail Nathalie Jor dan?" I asked. He winced at my plain speaking. "You had no right to interfere you're as much of a crook as I am." he told me. "I suppose you think she's your game, and you don't want anybody cle to step in Well, I'm not through yet, and be fore I do get through you're go ing to be sorry that you .stood in my way." He turned then and went off in the other direction. 1 watched him for a moment, wondering what he thought he could do to me. Cer tainly my skirts were clean; I'd never done anything that 1 need be ashamed of. As much a crook as he was what a dreadful thing to say! I went straight to Nathalie, and told her what had happened. "Perhaps people think that, be cause I haven't any money, I'm trying to get some from my friends who are wealthy," I told her. "That's cruel you don't believe it, do you ?" "Of course I don't and you've helped mo so much that if you'd accept money from me I'd be more than glad to give it to you." she said. "I wanted to tell you that my husband came to see me last night, and that we've straightened' things out wonderfully. He has begged me to forgive him ways that he'll never go nnywhere with anyone but me again! I don't want him to be so strict as that, of course, but 1 do think that, we're going to be able to make a sue-ce.-istul marriage out of what cer tainly was n failure." Her news made me so happy. I did not find out till afterward that Mr. Jordan had heard of tho efforts I'hll Leland had made to involve Nathalie in an embarrass ing .situation and then extort black mail, and that it had been that news thai had sent him stralsht io her, realizing that he cared for her and wanted to protect hor. Hut the next day I received a square white box, which contained a gold mesh bag with an emerald clasp, tho duplicate of the odd I had lost one evening when I was out with Nathalie and l'hil Lo la nd. "Dear Nancy." Nathalie had writ ten on the car. "Voi: lust your own bag because I saw fit to keep ques tlona" lo company I shall always feel sure that Phil Leland took it. So won't you den so accept this from mo in restitution and as a token of my deep, affection for you ?" I laughed softly a.s I picked it up. Evidently fate intended me to have a beautiful bag. no matter how many times a now one had to be given me. I thought of tho little cheap one that I had lost, and of the ben u t i f u 1 on o Fra n k JiarrJsnn had given mo to make up for it and I hen I had lo.t that, and now Nathalie was sending me another one. AVhat would happen lo this 1 ng? Jf I had known the answer to that question, I would have thrown the bag out of the window that very moment. Tomorrow A Trip South. FRUIT MEWS?
