Ephesians 2:18, . A Sunday Revival A fund of $25,000 is being raised in Portland by the sale of stock certificates to build a tabernacle for Billy Sunday for his seven weeks revival campaign scheduled for Septem ber. The shares are one dollar each "par value, ines timable' for the saving of souls -is contingent on the spend ing of dollars. Let us see how "inestimable" the value of Billy Sunday hysteria is to a community. We quote Dr. William House, Portland alienist, who in an address at the Oregon .Social Workers association Tuesday said: "The visit of nuch men as Billy Sunday to a city docs far greater damage than It does good. After euch a visit psychiatric patients de velop in large numbers and we have ft deluge of new easea. From the scientific standpoint reitgiouH crank, drug aaaicut ana people suner Intr from alcoholism are in the same :1;ikh. Thev are all seeking to satisfy their emotional natures; they merely takie different means of doing so. Religion or the limy Hun day type ts irrational lanaucism baaed on emotions. My feeling is one of fear toward the man who jeets hia religion over night." A religious spree, and that is a good name for the Sunday jamboree, is all right occasionally for those of robust men tality, just as a husky man can survive an occasional jag, but how about the half-baked and the half-witted, that such dissipations throw clear off the trolley? The asylums are full of them. As to the permanancy of "conversions" resulting from the acrobatic antics and cataclysm of slang of this hell roar-! ing denouncer of the devil they also are subject to ques-, tion. The back-sliding begins as soon as Sunday banks his profits and leaves for his palatial mansion to winter in the! sunshine state. "Cynthia dear, will you be very late?" "Ijate?" echoed Cynthia,.' bowil dered. 1 Ve for toaellag bridge, yon know. We're waiting for you." . "Oh oh why, that's tomor row. Isn't it?" Cynthia reached for her engagement book, scanned It hastily. "1 have it down for tomor row. "i can't understand why the party is today. I didn't phone to remind you, because lately I've felt ilittl you didn't like my doing so,; but really, if you're going to bungle things of this sort this party is la your honor " . . - "Oh, I'll come at once." Cynthia groaned a she hung up the receiv er and ran to her bedroom. Now the was in for it! How Mrs. Le lnnd would talk and talk' about this! Jim would feel that fie had to reprove his wife for making a mistake about this party given by his elder sister for her. 'I might better have committed murder; they wouldn't have cared as she brushed her hair with lone ft whit more if I had," beiriigfied, hand and took a frock off its hang er.wlth the other. :- Tomorrow Bridge Tit bio Untiles Sidney-Talbot- News Sidney, Or..

This led to the subject of Bryan Bryan led the conversation to Florida, and logically the next question wa: "What do you think or the Florida plan of barring In come and Inheritance taxes." "I believe It Is all right," n swsred the senator. "It seems to be working out that way at any rata." 'Would tlic same plan be a good thing for Oregon?" The senator was a bit cautious In his reply. "I think it would be zll right if there are other ways to rfuse revenue, ho said. But the senator did not urge adoption of the Dennis amendment in Oregon. He observed that taxa tion Is justified only as a means of raising necessary revenues, and should not le for the purpose of punishing men either for their riches or their poverty. Senator Shortrldge Is more opposed' to In heritance taxes than Incomes taxes and believes that congress in the nep.r future will remove the fed eral inuerltince tax. He does not look for this at the next session Aut does expect the next sefslon to cut taxes to a considerable de gree pursuant to no policies now being advocated by President cooi idgc.

It's too big. I couldn't have tat en care of that building." Inquiry proved that the senator was correct. The old school was removed some years ago and the present ' building installed in its place.

The all important question as to whether hair-bobbing is barbering has been decided in the affirmative by the Chancery Court of New Jersey though the question "does it beautify?" is left open by the wise judge. In his ruling the chancellor cited the old testament and the dictionary and the ancient custom of cupping and then ruled that a beauty par lor where bobbing was practiced, was really a barber shop, but refused to say whether a bobber was necessarily a bar ber. The word barber is derived from the Latin root, barba, meaning beard and as the dictionary defines the word bar ber as "one wlio makes a business of shaving and trimming the beard and cutting and dressing the hair" the court held bobbing necessarily barbering, and that "the bobbing of ladies hair a distinct and important part of the business of a modern barber shop, as much as cupping was a branch of the business in ancient times. Whether or not bobbing as applied to the lovlier sex, is really a beautifying process and therefore belongs in a beau ty parlor, the court refuses to say, evidently having doubts, as he says: . "Thoro nro still conic iiUl-fnshlnned peopla who Insist tlint the hall- Is woman's orownitiK Klnry nnd that ns Samson was illvestotl of his fltronirlh when shorn of his limits liy DrlllHh, so Is woman rniwea of her pruwnlnK Rlry. Irriwpprtivc of wliothor this oncrntlon to per fornioil In an ordinary barber shop or In a modern beauty pnrlor, evpn though for tho word 'parlor Is suhfllltnted tho modorn appellation 'shopne.' Hut It Is not necpssary to tho disposition of this case that I decide and I rftfraln from such decision." So, in Jersey at any rate, barber is a bobber even if a bobber be not a barber. One Wife on Approval By Violet Dare 09 A GbOOMY 1'IIOPHKCY "Mm. Iceland." Cynthia had been married o short a time that -she had not yet grown usfd to her new name: atae was thrilled whenever she heard It. Now, as Krunccw spoke to her, nhe glanced up quickly and smil ed. KranrM might be a second mold, but she was a good friend, too, and that came first with Cynthia. "Mrs. Leluml, I don't see how X can go on if the other Mra. Leland In goliiK to keep finding fault with me." Trances voice waa shaky, nnd she neemcd to be on the vergr of tours. "I do my work the best I can; I like to work for you. Hut she's always coming In nnd telling me I'm doing things wrong, and fusfinK at me" "I know, Frances; It's drend f nl." l-'or a moment Cynthia for got that nhe wn supposed to be inlHlri'Hn of the hou, Khe was Just n Iwrniy-year-oirt bride, nUiw in a grievance with Homebody who understood her. "I'll do some thing about it tin noon an I ran, and ple.w don't let her inti-rferinc bother mi. I have to put up with It. too, you kmnv." "Ye., Mr. I. eland, 1 know." And Frances went back to the Ulteben and told eo.de that younc Mm Jim wan lovely, hut heaven itnly knew how in the world she nnd Mr. Jim ever get ab-iiK wllh that mot her of h l. "Woi'Kt of It In, Hhe think nhe' helpin,! 'em," jhp added, "lienlfi all how hllnd people are.

"They're toi much In lovo with each other thone two." 'They're In love alt ripht. bui even lovo rnn't tund everything!' j-ranceji shook her head dismally. J on wait and eo. old Mrs. I.e land menus well rnoiitih, but she's a trouble maker. ' "Hhe'd cook your jronso If she heard you call her 'old Mrs. Le land," commented cook, InURhlng. - "She' spry n a Rirl since thnt last daughter of hers got mnrrled." Up In her own sitting room Cynthia wns arrnnalng a basket for Mmk nnd tcllinK him that he was to stny In It. At home she had alwny hail ninny pels, but Mrs. , Inland had vetoed her nuKRestion that she hnve ft doff, and had de clared that bird were too messy, j when Cynthia wanted a parrot and Jim wanted to give It to her. Now that Mark had walked Into her life, she told herself that noth ing could make her give him up. "I'll tetl mater that he's a Rood mousor," she decided, chuckling. Mrs. Leland had tnuteht her son to call twr "mater" when he wn child, taking the run from n novel of KnailHh society life that she was readitiir Cynthia hated It, but used it dutifully. the curled up on a chaise longuc In a sunny window with some new nmK-izlnes and her box of candy after luncheon, plunnhiK to read a while, then to take a ions walk endltiK nt her hunhnnd'a olTlee. Jim loved to hnve her call for him. and on nice days they walked all the way home together. Cynthia loved those walks when she turked her arm through Jim's and slipped hpv hard Into his coat pocket, nnd they sauntered along" through the dusk, pausing to Vmv n flower for the buttonhole of her rough I weed suit and one for Jim's to get roasted rhestunts from our of Hie men along the sidewalk, lo hat with their favorite newsboy then thry came to hit corner. She loved everything that made new life for her ami Jim, one that lay ii p.i rt from that governed his mother. And she knew that Jim Mt just ns she did about It. JI- had often told Cynthia how ile voted his mot her had ahvays been to him; how, during the time tthrn llielr finances were temp ully low. she had Insisted on his going to lotle-e even tin. null It meant that .she herself must give up ..uiiy lhlng.1 that she needed. "Shi s been a perfect hrlck, always.-' he had said. -That's why I wmit to do everything possible for her now." Hut in lit, i, laying down her inaraxlno and stating out of the window, wondered whether giving his mother everything" meant Hiving her hlf wife, too! The little French clock on hev desk chimed two, half -past wo. three. Cynthin nlanced up, mulled. und sauntered into her bedroom to try on a new party frock, llow ficn she hnd hnted that clock. when it reminded hrr that she must ge somewhere with Mrs. Le land when aba wanted to stsv home. The telephone summoned her ten minutes later. She hurried to nnswer, thinking It might be Jim. Instead, It was Mrs. I.e lands voice, striving to be sweet a usual, but obviously d lap teased, BRINGING UP FATHER By George McManus ri 1 IT 5EEW A.
