"Without or with offense to friends or foes . sketch your world exactly as it goes." byron. Beggars On Wheels Discussing the pest of the flivver hobo, Miss Emma Du Uouille, executive of the public welfare bureau of Portland, states that these auto tramps are "living under conditions which deteriorate their morals, deprive them of community responsibility, cause the neglect of children, furnish a health menace and tend to create a class of professional wandering mendicants" of subnormal intelligence. The recommendation is made that the chain of Tree auto camps, organized in the name of community promotion, be discontinued as they are largely responsible for encouraging the flivver hobo, whose only worry is gasoline and. who lives off the country he traverses, with an occasional spell of work. Official agencies are asked to cooperate in discourag ing these beggars on wheels, with the suggestion that their cars be disposed of. The country is reaping the reward of the uplift, of estab lishing and maintaining free auto camps, of installing wel fare work in orchard and farm, both forms of paternalism calculated to destroy incentive for industry and encourage idleness. Why work when "others will provide? Why take care of offspring, when others are on hand to make things comfortable to educate, to amuse and even to doctor the family? The break-beam tourist was never pampered like the auto hobo has been, so of course the blind-baggage and the truss-rods have been deserted for the flivver. Free accommo dations are awaiting at the community grounds, welfare workers are busy volunteering aid and assistance, a few min utes pan-handling will buy gasoline, a raid on the farms and orchards supply food and fruit, .while if necessary, stores and residences can be looted for clothes and supplies. Many of the flivver hoboes, particularly those with fam ilies, consist of that sub-normal element, frequently classi fied as poor white trash, not by any means vicious, merely incompetent, a class that always has to be assisted, but un der the uplift, which especially protects the unfit, is increas ing phenominally in numbers because of violation of tho natural law of survival of the fittest. The cheap fifth hand auto has replaced the old covered wagon as a means of grati fying wanderlust. what to any la at night all right, didn't he?" Mary blushed, and her aunt cut In hastily. "What did he say? Any thing that wasn't wasn't all right?" Hilda was angry. "Well, I should say not," ehe declared. "I guess I'ut Hamilton s a perfect gentle man I The fact Is ho was crazy about Mary. He told me she was the sweetest thing he'd ever seen. First thing wo know, he'll ho Ink ing her away from us cheap skates! Mary Hamilton sounds pretty, doesn't it?" "Oh, Hilda!" Mary exclaimed "Don't be so silly." But a hope fluttered up in her heart. She didn't want to marry him, of course a man so much older than he was. Still perhaps She got the Bhadyslde Club after some delay; the long distance op erator told her anlpplly that it was a locnl call, and the local operator insisted . that she had never heard of the exchange. The club at last fho asked for Mr. Patrick Ham ilton in a voice that trembled in spite of her efforts to keep It .steady. "He's not here," the switchboard opc-fritor at the other end replied, "lie came in a while ago, but I think he left. Want me to page him?" "Why, I yes" Sho knew that her nunt and Hil da Lewis were listening to what she said , wondering what was beinii said at the other end of the lino. She felt suddenly Important; for the first time In her life she amounted to something, instead of being ju.it a girl whom people did n't consider very much o nher own account. She wailed for some time, tho telephone receiver In her hand. At last Hamilton's voice came to her; It sounded as If he felt annoyed at being called to the phone. Hello! Hello! This Is Pat Ham ilton," he said. Oh I this is Mary Waite," i sho answered. Who?" She repeated her name, and add ed, falterlngly. "The girl you met last night with Jim Lewis and his wife. ' "Oh, yes. little Mary. I called you earlier; did you get the message?" The change In his voice flatter ed Mat-)'! she was pleased that he should feel so differently as soon as he know that sho was the per son who called him. "Was there anything you fipec- ially wonted to tell me?" ho nsk- ed. Mary admitted that there was. n't. "Oh Just called to say hello? Well, that was sweet of you. Have n't forgotten abou our luncheon engagement tomorrow, havo you He talked for a few moments more. Mary hung up the receiver at last, and joined her nunt and Hilda, a little smile curving her pretty lips. She tried to smother tho feeling of uneasiness that kept troubling her. Hilda was jubilant. "What did I. toll you? Wasn't he glad that you called. him?" sho de manded, pausing In her descrip tion of a frock she had seen the night before nt the teat re. "Let me ride in your Rolls Royce once in a while when you'm Mrs. Hamilton, will you, Mary?" Mary took rofuge In the room she shared with Lulu. Hilda's teas ing annoyed her. Lulu, who was sitting on the bed mending a run In a white silk stocking, looked up as she came in. "I'm going out with Joe and a friend of his, the fellow who went with us last night," she said. "That girl he had along was a perfect dud. Want to go with us tonight? Joe's friend has a "flivver, a road "No, 1 guesa not; I'm pretty tired from being up' so Inte last night," Mary answered. She hoped Lulu would not suspect the truth, that after being Pat Hamilton's guest at two of .the smartest restaurants in the city she did not find the pros Giving and Taking Offense Is Subject Of Sermon of Denny The question of giving and tak Ing offense was discussed by Rev. M. Denny In his sermon at the Bethany Reformed church of Salem Sunday morning. The es- sense of his sermon consisted of a warning "that we do not give offense to others, especially to the children, and do not take of fense, or etumblo at the demands that Jesus makes of his follow ers." Tho sermon was given In Ger man. Rev. Mr. Denny took his text from Luke 7:23. "Tho occasion for the utter ance of these words.' he said, re ferring to thu text, "took place when John the Baptist sent two of his desciples to inquire if He, Jesus, was the one that was prom Ued, or should they expect an othor. Jesus' answer was not (11- pect of joining. Joo nnd his friend particularly attractive. "Oh, well go on and get your beauty sleep," Lulu reterted good naturedly. "I'm going to keep go ing white I have the chance. Time enough to stay home nnd put tfold cream on my face when I'm fifty!" She put on her stocking, powd ered her face, which had too much powder on It already, put on her hat and departed. Mary was glad to be alone. Her thoughts were happy ones She did not mind the crying, of the Lewis baby upstairs, or the shouts ot tne children In tho apartment next door. Would Pat Hamilton ask her to -marry him? And if he did, what would she say? Tomorrow Lovc'd Throny Path. rectly yoa or no. He commanded them to tell John what they saw and heard while being with Him and pointed to the well known passage, Isaiah 35, 5 0. ''It was then that he asserted that someone was in grave danger of takiug offense at Him. But who was it? was it John In priS' on or his desctplcs? On that question various opinions aro expressed. "From this nnd other passages we learn of the great Importance Jesus laid on nut giving or toking offense. He himself was careful not to become a stumbling block to others, even in the civic mat ter of paying tax, when he told eter to go angling for a piece of money with which to satisfy the tax collector's claim. "But most solemnly does he warn of giving offense to little children, to lead them to evil. (Math. 13, 6.) Paul stresses the same danger toward beginners and weak brothren even in tho matter of eats and drink, as the customs ot gentle Christians would therein differ widely from those of Jewish converts. "The offense for many, to this day, is Christ's teaching. Teach ing that Ho was the son of God, that He and the father were one. That man must be born again. That our love to Him must he above all the love relations in the most sacred human ties. That wo love others as ourselves and even love and pray for our enemies. "Then again, the claim that his perfect life nnd his shameful death on the cross is the only pro pitiation tor our Bias Is sometimes taken offense at, as is the sweep' Ing away of all efforts of hope for our self rlgntcousnesi, to winch man so readily falls. "Paul says that the word ot tho croBs of Christ Is to the Jews (the self righteous) a stumbling block, and to the Greeka( the wise and educated) foolishness, but un to us who aro saved, the powor of God."

DUMB DORA By Chick Young More Applesauce The expected supply of political' applesauce for the farm er in the form of farm relief bills is already making its ap pearance. Senator Shipstead, Farmer-Laborite of Minneso ta has drafted a substitute for ftio McNary-Haugen bill, which provides for a government commission to arbitrarily fix prices for farm products to insure the farmer a profit in production, just as the Interstate Commerce Commission fixes rates for railroads. . , In defense of his measure, Mr. Shipstead says: "I nm opposed to price-fixing as a governmental principle but tho Administration lies seen fit to protect the price of manufactured products by tho taritt. Ulg combines, like steel manufacturers, are. allowed to sot their own prices. The prices of electricity, telephones, street car rates and railroad rates all aro fixed by governmental authorities. If this Bystcni Is to bo discontinued entirely then I would not ask prico fixing Tor the fanner. Hut ns long as It con tinues 1 soy the farm should have the Bamo advantage as the manu facturers. Ho can't fix his own prices. Under the Shipstead bill, a federal farm commission is created to buy farm products when there is a surplus and thus maintain a steady market. What will become of the accumulated surplus, which would probably have to be dump ed, is not vouchsafed. The big combines limit production and regulate competi tion to prevent surplus and slump in prices. The railroad companies, whose prices are fixed on cost of production plus n reasonable profit, are selling service, not commodities. If the farmer would organize to regulate production and con trol marketing, he could fix his own prices for a profit, but so long as lie ignores the economic law of supply and demand and insists on producing more than can be profitably mar keted, government fixing of prices would only bankrupt the slate by increasing the surplus. A political farmer-laborer hits to do something, however, to justify the name and Shipstcad's bill is not much differ ent from other dishes ot applesauce presented by other pro fessional friends of tho farmer.
