Creating a Payroll
Saturday the Oregon Linen Mills shipped to linen mills
on the, Atlantic coast 5000 pounds of weaving yarns it had
mnnufuL-tured. for which it will receive around $2000. The
raw material used in making the yarns cost the mill not
to exceed ?S00, part of which went to farmers growing the
ilax. Of the S1200 difference between the cost ot raw ma
tcrlal and the value of the yarn $800 went into payroll, the
balance into other operating expenses leaving a small mar
gin of the profit for the company.
If this flax had been shipped to other markets, the re
turns to the community would have been but $800. The
$800 paid employes and the money sicnt for power, heat
end general expenses, would not have been available for dis
tribution in the community. Some for the 40 people em
ployed at the mill would have been idle.
If the mill, instead of shipping the yarn for manufac
ture into linen in the east, had been financed so 33 to operate
its other machinery, it could have woven it into 18 inch
crash such as is found on sale in all dry goods and depart
ments sales. Ihis would have grossed $2u00 is sold un
bleached, or if sold bleached, $3000. The $800 worth of raw
material would have been increased in value $2200 and GO
people have been employed instead of 40 as at present,
If instead of making crash, fully bleached and hemmed
towels had been made, and the mill has made such products,
the product could have been sold for $4000, and the number
of employes increased to 75. The plant contains all the re
quired machinery and equipment for carrying through the
various processes Irom raw material to finished commodity
for all kinds of linen only the capital for operating ex
penses is lacking. The value of the linen mill to the com
munity can thus be summarized : ,
$800 worth of raw material the growing of which
profits the farmer, and the processing of which is benefit

prison inmates and gradually making the penitentiary self
Euppoiting. produces $2000 worth of yarn, which give's em
ployment to 40 persons in the mill. The use of th;s yarn to
make crash towels, makes a product worth $3000, anil cm
ploys GO persons in the making. Its use to make bleached
and hemmed towels makes, a product worth $1000 and em
ploys 75 persons in the manufacture. Utilized in fine linen
products, many more persons are employed and the value
oi me output doubled.
These figures show the value of the flax industry to
the community and the necessity for adequate financing

As before stated, the Oregon Linen Mills is a com

against road-sign.
Suddenly, through the nlgbt
she heard the sound of steps. Borne
one was following herl Too worn
out to run, she sank by the side
or the road, a sobbing, huddled
flcure In the darkness.
Her pursuer came up to her and
a mans voice said:
"There, there. Don't cry. You're
perfectly safe now."
Myra looked up. It was Home's
chauffeur.
"Go away," she screamed, hys
terically. "Don't touch me I
won't go back to that horrid man
I wont I won't!"
"Well, nobody wants you to,
came the retort, half-conciliatory,
half-amused. "If you'll hush that
squawking and listen a minute
you'll see tliat I bi trying to help
you."
Myra stopped sobbing and drew
a deep breath. She got to her feet
slowly. Her woman's Intuition told
her that she was safe.
Her companion's voice came like
a whip.
"You're another of these modern
girls, eh?" he sneered. "So al
mighty independent until you bump
jour nose, and men you bawl
loud as the Lord'll let you."
Myra s head came ud with a lerk.
She disdained reply, but made as
tnougu to move away along the
road.
Wait a minute wait a minute!
How do you think you're going to
net back to to- n this time of the
night?"

action from her terror had come.
The chauffeur laughed.
"you're a spunky one." he com
mented. "If you'll wait here a few
minutes IH get the car and droD
you at the bus line about two miles
down the road."
"Won't he won't Mr. 7"
"Naw he's 'plastered' so's he

ped off Into the darkness.
In a few minutes Myra saw the
big car swing through the gates
and as It drew alongside of her
the headlights were switched on.
"All riBht, sister." called the
driver. Myra thankfully climbed
into the front seat.
"I don't want to ride Inside," she
shuddered.
"Huh! you got that bright Idea
about lour hours late."
In a few minutes the car emerged
onto the main htehway. now in
deep shadow.
"You'll Just about make the last

minute or two.
Myra touched his sleeve with i

snppsd a bill into her hand, and
as Myra drew back he said:
'It's Jus', a loan you'll need it."
Mow n i know how to i

"I know where you live I'll keep

he laughed. '
Myra climbed aboard the empty
bus with a sinking feelinir In hr
heart, and as the conveyance lum
bered cityward she yielded to utter
despair. The driver could not hear
her from his glass compartment In
front and there was no conductor
on this late trip, the motorman
alone performing the two duties.
She gave way to unrestrained sobs.
Her fingers reached for a hand
kerchief finally and encountered
the square of pasteboard on which
Home had scrawled the message
to Hammerfeld. Bhe recoiled as
though she had touched a snake,
made as U to destroy the message,
and then stopped suddenly.
"Maybe It will be valuable, even
if I did give him the slip," slie so
llquized. She put the card back
into her purse, and wiped her eyes,
vainly tryuig to restore her face
and hair to some semblance ot
neatness.
It seemed hours later when the
bus drew up to the subway station
at Tunes Square. Myra slipped
out anl down the stairs to the
suuth-bound train, which deposited
her at a corner Just two blocks
from her boarding-house.
The clock In the Metropolitan
Tower chimed 3 o'clock as she
ascendt'd the steps and tumbled in
her bag for the door key.
It was gone!
There was nothing to do but ring
the bell and arouse her landlady.

her eyes fell on Myra and she noted

she made known her disapproval

I s'pose, I can't be too particu

my guests," she said wilh suspicion
in her voice. "Not so long as they
pay their honest debts. But I'll
thank you for your room tomorrow
morning, miss, and not a minute
later."
Myra hurriedly retreated up the
dingy stairs as the woman warmed
to her theme, and gained the re
fuse of her room.
What a night," she thought be
tween bitter, hopeless tears. "Where
where will I go?
I do?"

Paris W Archeologlsts of the
future, p rob tag Into the remains of
what was once the city of Paris, will
have little difficulty In Identifying
the American Church of Paris and
in ascertaining the exact date of Its
erection.
In a hermetically sealed glass tube
contained in a leaden case wiheh has
been placed in the cornerstone of
the new edifice of the American
church now under construction in
the Quat d'Orsay, has been deposited
a document intended as a guide for
historians as yet unborn. It has
written upon It the name and des
cripUon of the church In more than
dozen lanuases, Including Eng
lish, French. German. Italian. Soan-
ish, Russian, Greek, Hebrew, Latin
and Syrian.
The exact date of the church's
cornerstone laving Is stated in letters
anaces at the Bechsteln hall of
pieces of chamber music dedicated
to her by Arthur Bliss, Ottorino
Resplghl, Ernest Bloch (Berkshire
Festival Prize Winner) and Arnold
Schoenbcrg.
Other American composers on the
urogram are Fred Jacob! of New
York and Charles Morten Loeffler ot
Boston, Mass.
Mrs. Sprasue-Coolidge who came
to Berlin after visiting Venice, Vi
enna and Prague, Is proceeding to
Amsterdam. Brussels and Paris to
introduce American talent there.
Berlin musical critics are appre
ciative of the American composers'
works. Some of them Indulge in the
melancholy reflection: "We haven't
any wealthy women In Germany
who give 100Q dollar prizes for
chamber music competitions."

BERLINERS ENJOY
AMERICAN MUSICi
Berlin, im The musical world
of Berlin has been extending its ac
nuaintanace with American compo
sitions through the arrival here of
Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague-Coolidge of
WashiiiKton, Chicago, and Pittsfie!d.
Mass., who two years ago endowed a
musical library and concert hall con
nected with the Library of Congress,
Washington. D. C.
Under her auspices, the Kollsch
Qaurtet has been giving perform-

and approval of critics known for
the severe standards they apply.
THEATER SAID
UNTALKED NOW
Paris (fp) A "conspiracy of silence"
is a new ill from which the poor de
cadent theater is supposed to be
suffering.
In Uie old days polite conversation
in the fashionable world concerned
itself with "first nights," new plays
and players. It is remarked, while
"fighters and aviators are the stars
of today; more ink has been spilled
over an Atlantic flier in 48 hours
than over a Sarah Bernhardt in 20
years."
WOMEN NOT INVADING
ENGLISH COURTROOM
London, (A1) Women are taking
up positions in almost every sphere
of life hitherto monopolized by men,
but there Is one place in the heart
of London where no woman Is ever
allowed.
This place Is judicial chambers in
tiie law courts. The work is done
by former soldiers and during the
general clean-up preparatory to re
opening the courts this week and
one of them told an enquirer "no
woman is ever allowed to clean out
a judge's room, or his library or bis
court. Not likely."
Before the war, the thousands of
rooms, and four and a half miles
of corridors were kept by men only.
During the war period a certain
number of women were taken on,
but these have been reduced to
ubout 20 and the rest of the work
is divided between 90 male workers
or ushers as they are called.
Even during the war period, wo
men were not allowed to enter the
.sacred precincts of a judge's room,
and tiie flowers in -the vases, the
curtains and other little domestic
details were all done by the hands
of male ushers.
