"Without or with offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes" byron. Apple If there is one thing the politicians are expert at dishing, it is applesauce; if there is one thing for which the farmers seem to have an insatiable appetite, it is applesauce; conse quently both should be thankful this Thanksgiving season lor the abundant supply available. When the farmer cannot sell his products, the politicians give him a little applesauce in the guise of an import tariff upon the surplus he exports, and he gratefully pays a higher tariff on everything he buys and votes for the grand old party. Again when the farmer is selling his wheat at less than cost of production, the politicians give him some more apple sauce in the form of a McNary-Haugen or similar bill to have the government buy his crop at profitable prices and the farmer trots to the polls quite contented. After the election, nothing more is heard of price-fixing until the next election approaches, when a fresh lot of applesauce will be available. In Oregon, the applesauce dished out in wholesale quanti ties by Walter Pierce won him his election, and in gratitude the grand lecturer saved the farmers with applesauce in the shape of a market-master who markets nothing, does not even organize marketing machinery or furnish prices for marketing, but busies, himself issuing propaganda for the Non-Partisan League and the pleased farmer cheerfully totes another useless tax-eater on his over-burdened should ers. Seeing how well it works culture Jardine has prepared a similar mess of applesauce for the farmers of the nation. He has approved a bill to create within the department Iteting. How useful it will be can be judged by the fact that it will be purely advisory, have no authority, fix no prices and market nothing. Surely this will keep the embatLIed Iarmer firm in support of that Calvin Cooudge. As long as the farmer looks to cure economic ills by legislation setting aside the inexor able Jaw of supply and demand, of apple-sauce prove inexhaustible. Standard Hospitals And What They Mean Tho American CoIIcro of Sur goons 1b nn International organiza tion composed of a group follow Bhlp of eminent physicians and sur geons from both North nnd South Amorlca, organized for tho pur pose of securing the very beat serv ice from tho patient whllo In tho hospital nnd to protect that pn tient ngalnst unethical practice by unskilled physicians nnd surgeons while practicing In any hospital. Tho tremendous task of working out, sotting up, nnd putting into offoct a standard which might he reached by all hospitals was un dertaken and lias been put Into effect within tho past few years, This work 1ms cost a great deal of money, $500,000.00 has boon ex .ponded to date and $75,000.00 Is to bo tiflod this year, but tho service is entirely free- to alt hospitals. It goes without saying that every hos pital nlniing to furnish its puticntti tho best Borvlce ohtalnnblo will strlvo to ni ensure up to the require' menta laid down by the college of surgeons nnd thus merit at least minimum standardization, Dr. Mnlcolm T. McEchran who is executlvo secretary nnd associate director of the American College of Burgeons was recently Invitod by (he governments of Australia and New Zealand to spend several months with them In the Interest of their hospltnlH, and while on his way ho mot with tho Northwest Hospital nwtoclntlon in their con vention at Sonttlo. Tho Seattle P. I. quotes him saying: "Until 1018 only eight of nine hospitals In the entiro country made any pretonso of providing patients with moro than room, bonrd, and nursing, laboratory nnd -rny facilities wero practically unknown. Today by menns of tho annual Survey of the American College of Surgeons 2-100 gener al hospitals with 35 beds nnd over Ip tho United States and Canada are rated each year. Standardized hospital aim by menns of complete diagnostic tests unheard of until a few years ngo, to eliminate unneccfwiry survey, and to return the patient to health Loves Greatest Gift ' By VIOLET Mary waa delighted with the sup per club to which Pat Hjimlltci took her nnd tho Lewises. It waa In a atone houae In an exclusive residential section of the city; from tho out do It gave no hint what It really was. A butler opened t"..e door in response to Hamilton's ring;, opened It barely enouch to look out and see them. When ha recognised Hamilton he at once Opened It wide, deferentially, "Wo received your mowace, Mr, Hamilton, and your table (a ready," h- Mld. ( Hamilton slipped a bill Into his hiind - "That ona I Ilket" he asked. His man nor waa blustering, that of the Editor and Publisher matter at- Salem, Oregon lesauce in Oregon, Secretary of Agrl a division of cooperative mar staunch friend of the farmer, to the politician and expects just so long will the supply as soon as possible. We estimate the avorngo time of the patients In hospital can bo reduced two on vs. Tho primary object of hospital standardization is to see that only llioso qualified to do surgery or inodlclne aro permitted to work In standard hospitals and to Insure tho maximum of proper caro for every patient. That these surveys aro thorough and tho requirements rigid Is shown by tho fact that only 1,604 out of 7,000 surveys In the United Stntes during the year have met the requirements of tho Am erican College of Surgeons, and only 12 out of 29 In Oregon have measured up. This would seem to prove that those Inspections and subsequent standardization of any hospital Is not primarily in the hos pltals Interest but wholly with tho purposo of securing at the hands of the hospital tho best service possible for tho patient and further moro that the hospital may keep abreast of all the Improvements In medical and surgical science. One can scarcely comprehend the very marvelous progress made during the past few years In these profes sions, and wore it not for the fact that a groat many liberal gifts nnd endowments mndo by persons who havo money to bestow In the public Interest, hospitalization would bo vory far behind present day re qulrements made necessary by tho rapid advance of.modicnl and Bur- glcnl science. It Is a welt known fact that no hcspltat which renders standard sorvlco to tho patient may ever hope to mako any operating profit, in fact given a flnishod, well bal anced plant with fnlrly good equip ment fully paid for, ond it will take the most rare fnt business manage ment to handle that Institution un der standnrized requirements, keeping It well up to date nnd meet tho expense of operation and main tenance out of the receipts. There should bo In addition to1 tho above well furnished plant a considerable steady Income from omlowments.y but that will be con sidered In another article. DARE 'man who knows he can get vhat over ho wants because ho con pay ror It, "Remember, I won't sit any where elue. And I've got a lovely little lady hero, and tho best's none lou good for her," Ho took Mnry'a arm familiarly. She btuxhed as the butler bowed again; It embarrassed her to have Hamilton call attention to hor In that way, and Instinctively she felt the bad ta.t of his doing so. They went up a wide shallow stairway to th second floor, which had been turned Into a ballroom. with small tables placed all about the edge of the dance floor, ,nd on a slightly rained floor a step above! It. AeroF one end waa a balcony. Gay baloons were lied to the vuses of flowers on the tables. The walls wero covered with flowered yellow silk, and the many mirrors placed along them reflected the dancers' f.igures. 'Oh, how beautiful!" Mary ex claimed, as the head waiter took them o their table one In the front row. "Like It? I thought you would." Hamilton drew out her chair him self, nnd patted her lightly on the shoulder aa she sat down. A waiter brought champagne In a bucket of Ice; Mary was thrilled at that she had never seen It done before, Hamilton Insisted on toast ing her, and she sipped the wine in acknowledgement, but drank nothing after that. - Her aunt had told hor never to drink, ar.d des pite Hilda Lewis' finding fault for not drinking a cocktail she was determined that she would not drink now. HaplncAS was tlmulant enough for her; her cneeka were flushed pink, and her eyes were starry. 'Come on, little one, let's dance,' urged Hamilton, almost lifting her from her chair. She did not like having him touch her, did not like the way he danc ed, holding her uncomfortably close, barely moving from one spot on the floor. She could see now why some people objected to dancing, thought It wrong. And yet wasn't this what she had always wanted, to go to just such a place as this one, which was the best of its kind in the city to the nicely dressed, to have every thing done for her that money could do? She had never expected to be the guest of a man so Import ant as Pat Hamilton was In the country's affairs. She was just beginning to learn that the things wo want in this world are likely to come to us like that, not quite as we want them. Say, Hamilton certainly has fallen for you' Lewis told her, when she was sitting at the table with him while Hamilton dancod DUMB DORA 6E.e.Si TREATinUS ME.

He's a big man, too Alary; has a lot of Influence In Washington.- Funny, and I started out as kids together, and now look at him and look at me. He's al ways got everything he wanted, just goes out after It and gets It. I wish I knew how he does It. Look at him now and look at me!" "Why, Jim, you've done awfully well," Mary protested, trying her best to cheer him up. "Yeah It's all I can do to' nay the rent on our apartment seventy-five dollars a month nnd sup port Hilda and tho baby. Can't even afford a car Hamilton has two, and a cha&ffeur. Oh, I'm a faiiuro I'll never get anywhere, unless j maybe he helps me." "He would, wouldn't he-" Ho seems awfully kind, and you're old friends." "Friends sur, -but this Is the first 'timo l'vo seen him In five years. Han into him on the street. I guess all his other friends -were out of town, or something, or he'd never have wanted to go out with us tonight. But say, Mary, if he should happen to mention me you might put in a good word for me. Wili you?" "Of course, Jim." It flattered Mary to think that her word could have any weight with a man like Pat Hamilton. She hardly believed that It could. But when she danc ed with him again, Hamilton asked her If she would lunch with him the following Monday. "It's hard luck that I've got en gagements for all tomorrow I'm gofng out to Shadyslde to play golf we'll say Monday sure, -won't we?" ho urged. Mary agreed. Shadyslde was the most exclusive country club any where around. She wondered If he would ever take her there. And what would Stewart Howe say if ho could see her now, in these sur roundings. Instead of at that grub by office? There was a very pretty girl of about her own age who sat at the hoO,E.reJE.,ET WELL IVE MADE OP MM MINO l INOT CON TO C MOt ' .

Could it be that that he had fal lon in love with her, that he meant that some day he'd ask to marry him? Her thought reaced madly. What would life bo like as Pat Hamilton's wife? Plenty of money money to live" comfortably, to travel, to see the world. Money to do things for other people. He laid his hand over hers. "I'm going to do a lot for you, youngster an awful lot," he told hor. She winced under his touch. In that moment he felt that she could never marry a man she did n't love. Monday Aftcrniuth.
