SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1929 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON PAGE SEVEN "CATTLE CAR" CITY RESENTS INVESTIGATION Hanover (LP) For three years now the residents of the "cattle car city on the outskirts ot Hanover, a community In which more than A hundred families live under the most primitive and unsanitary con ditions, have watched investigating committees come and go, some stopping to utter a few words ot Indignation, others promising re lief, but none returning with any remedy of value. As a result thew people have become Inured to filth and investigators alike so that of late they have become openly resentful of the visits of both sin cere and curiosity-motivated per sons who In growing numbers come poking about their shacks. "Cattle car city" has the appear ance of an unkent railroad vara Its homes are nothing but the shells of discarded railway cars, which sit squarely on the damp ground of the river lists. -acn snacc nas iwo small windows and two rooms.

She laid the book aside and looked at him inquiringly. "Yes, Crawford," she said, and waited for him to begin. "Come over here ilrst, child, apd alt neui me." She crossed the room and seated herself on a low footstool at his feet. The man placed a hand under her chin and lifted her face to his. "Happy Carol?" he asked, study ing her closely. The girl answered with unaffect ed candor. "Yes, I believe I am, Crawford, why?" "Because, my dear. I want It above anything else in this world. But" he shrugged, "how can a young thine like you be happy in the com pany of an old broken down crea ture like myself? You should have fun and gayety and youth around you. "But Crawford, the girl chal lcnced. "I didn't have to marry you. I wanted to I wanted to be near you. You need me, and honestly, Crawford," she went on naively, "1 need you, too." The man smiled at this. "Do you, Carol? God knows I do need you." He leaned back in his chair and lighted a forbidden cigar, "You're not to smoke, Crawford," Carol reminded him. "Dr. Buckly said" "Oh, hang Dr. Buckley," Sumner I replied, inhaling luxuriously. "I've got to disobey him once in a while." I He puffed reflectively. "Carol," he said suddenly, "have you ever been In love really in love?" She shot him a startled look. "No, Crawford. I never have." That young Armstrong fellow what about him?" Sumner pursued. "Oh no," Carol exclaimed quickly, "there was never anything between us. He " "He was In love with you, though, wasn't he?" The girl colored and dropped her eyes. "Perhaps" "Hm-m, I though so,' Sumner muttered softly, "Well, you'd not have been happy with him, anyway. Nice enough chap, but he's going to develop into one of those Wall street automatons who feed on ticker tape. No kind of a fellow for you. He'll eet rich, thunh. Carol, mark my words. He'll have more money than I have one of these days." 'I don't care," said Carol, smiling up at him. "I'd rather have you. "But money has its advantages,' Sumner went on seriously. "When disaster of any kind occurs to mar the enterprise of marriage, money is a great compensation. And there ought always to be compensations." "What are you getting at, Craw ford?" the girl asked him, puzzled. "Are you inlimatlng that we'll have a disaster?" "No, child.' Sumner told her sob erly. "Dont know what made me say that. What I started out to discuss was love." He looked at her keenly. "What would you do, Cnrol, If you did fall in love with some young fellow? Just supposing, you know." Carol regarded the man, wide eyed with surprise, her face white and set. "Why, I I don't.- Sumner seemed not to notice her Interruption. "Love," he went on, as if to him self, "is something we can neither understand r.or stop when it comes. It Is like a draught of heady wine. The first sip intoxicates and from then on we are lost. It stirs or.e Into unexpected actions; sacrifices, fearlessness, madness, and often istency. "Yes, that's it the wine of love. We must all taste of it once in our life you too, Carol." He leaned over and rested his hands cn the girl's shoulders. "And when you do. little Carol," he said to her, "I want you to tell me that is, if I am still here. Promise me you will tall me. The girl stcod up, taking both hU hands in hers. She stood there long moment before she spoke, then. tneir lingers intertwined; their lips met. "Yes. Crawford,' she said finally. I promise. Gumner was now his old self again, and Dr. Buckty announced that the patient was out of danger. He called one morning for the last time and after many threats about the little cisars consumed by Sum ner at the rate of 25 to 50 a day, he departed, it seemed, a little regret fully. He and Carol had. become close friends and sh-2 promised to carry cn the jcb cf curtailing hsr husbands over-indulgence of the daily smokes and many other mi nute instrucuens which the kindly old physician had impressed upon ner. Asinine fellow," Sumner had; muttered, when the doctor left. "It's, wonder he didn't put me on a1 diet of baby food and a routine of infant psychology. I've been cod dled enough to last me the rest of my life. Carol laughed gayly at this. "Have I coddled you?" she asfcd, her eyes twinkling. "Well, you've kept me pretty thoroughly wrapped in cotton wool," Sumner replied with a grin. "Not that I minded it particularly thouih." "But vou've had enough, is that it?" Carol prompted. "Very well, sir, just try and get m-e to play nurse to you from now on. I re sign" "Oh. no. Carol." Sumner hastened contritely. "I didn't mean that. A man likes to have a woman fus sing about him, you know. We all like it." But you like a man s world oet- ter?" He stroked her hair renuy. "A man's world," he mused. "That is what it is, after all, isnt it, Carol? A man's world. When a fellow has a pain in his necic or a cold in his head, he wants a wom an's care and nursirar. But as soon he's rid of the pain or the com hV raring to get back into the world of men again." But that's the way it should be, Carol put in seriously. "A woman doesn't want a man tied to her pet ticoats all the time, anc a lose ner respect for him. "Yes, of course." agreed Sumner. Parkins entered and announced luncheon and they walked down the stairs arm in arm and Carol's head went up proudly as she entered the great dining room. Somehow, when she was at Sumner's side she al ways felt queenly and real. even though a small voice somewhere in side told hsr she was a little fool and impestor.

'Come here, youngsu. See what you inu v O'FALLON CASE NOT LIKELY TO AFFECT RATES Washington. (IP The Supreme Court's decision In the OFallon railroad valuation case, upholding the railroads' long battle lor revis ion upward of the Interstate com merce commission's rate-making bases, will have no drastic effect on the, rates charged lor gas, electric ity, water and other public utilities. Utility and railroad lawyers were hoping for a decision that would decree that -current reproduction value' oi public utility property. that is, what is would cost to re place the plant at the enhanced post-war prices must be given dominant consideration in valuing property. Upon these values, the various rate-regulating bodies deem rates are fixed to bring In what the "fair" returns, usually from 6 tog per cent a year. The Supreme Court, however, failed to say what weight is to be given to "current value." It pointed out that as tar as the railroads are concerned. Congress in the 1920 Transportation act decreed that all factors of value must be consider ed. The majority of five members of the Court in its decision found that the Commission has failed to give and weight to current value. Three members, dissenting, an nounced findings directly contra ary, and asserted that current value had been considered by the com mission. All public utilities now are en titled to have "current value" con sidered in their valuation. The Court so decided In the famous Indianapolis water case several vears ago. and so as a matter of law and practical application to utility rates, the O Fallon decision is little more than a reaffirmation of that decision. girl Carol. Carol perched on the arm of his chair and studied tile contents of the pamphlets as he held them up tor her inspection. They were Il lustrated folders depicting the ad vantages ot various pleasure resorts a..H thpre were steamship and rail- he hid' f.nottn' her very ex- road guides, each extolling the beauties and conveniences of their particular routes and equipment. A hotel keeper in Florida assured Carol she would be delighted with his fireproof garag? accommoda tions and the excellent quail shoot ing he could offer her; a tour con ductor told her she wouia never forgive herself If she did not take advantage of his reduced rates to the Mediterranean and the general aeent of an "around the world cruise begged her to Join his party cn a hundred day trip that included 25 countries. "Well." said Sumner, after they had studied maps and schedules until Carols head ached, "where do you want to go?" Carol shook her head dubiously. "How can I make up my mind after looking at those?" she asked him. "You should have snown me Just one that wouldn't have made me greedy. Now I want to go to all of tirem." Sumner assumed a stem expres sion, but his eyes laughed up at her. "Woman, woman." he said, shak ing his head sadly, "thou are ever thus." He tweaked, her ear play fully and placed an arm around her waist. "Now. listen to my sug gestion and see it you like it." Carol settled herself in the crook of his arm and waited. She was thrilted and excited at the idea of a Journey and she didn't really care where they went. It would all be a new experience to nor. "Pnrotv isnt so cood now." Sum ner continued thoughtfully. "I'll want you to see the English country when' we go across and spring's the time for that. Now let's see," he went on. wrinkling his forehead in a way Carol had come to know so well, "its going to De kvuku here in another week or so and my old bones can t stand me com tlrey did once. rami laucthed derisively at this. Sumner raised an admonishing hand. Quiet, woman," he inreaienra. When the girl's mirth had sub sided he went on: Ann sv vnnn2ster. ne saia. think we'll go some place where It s warm, Bermuda." He stopped ab ruptly and looked at her. "Think ,.n,.'ri Hie Rermuda. Carol?" Carol assured him she would and so it was agreed. They would plan to sail within a week ana i-arai r-"' up the stairs to her room to sec what, in her crowded wardrobe, would be the proper apparel for a trip to the tropics. She had Just entered the room i, oc-.itle knock at the door Lcaused her to turn away from the long mirror wncre mib 0 gazing at her flushed, excited, re flection. "Come in." she said shortly, thinking it was one ot the maids. Parkins entered and handed her a square white envelope. "Pardon me, madam," Uie old man said uictly. "Dr. Buckley left this for you and said I should give 't tr von nrivfttelv." When the man leu as .uci.n, he had entered. Carol stood in the center of the room, the envelope In her hand, and there was a queer, sinking feeling n her breast, Some tv,inr trtiH her there was bad news m tif. mvelcme and she could warrelv bring herself to open it. When she finally nerved herself to do so she cast a hasty glance over the writing on the white page and her face turned the color of the paper she held. 8 he crumpled the letter In her hand and sank weakly on the edge of her bed. It was bad news Indeed! Carol read the doctor's note over for the third time and she sighed heavily when the seriousness of the message struck her. "My dear Mrs. Sumner," me let ur rpait. "Do not think I am trying to give you undue worry, but I have deemed it wisest to let you anow oi vour husband s true state of health, so that you may endeavor, when necessary, to cnecc any unwise ; tivities on his part. He must avoid all excitement and worry. Keep him away from his office aa much as possible, and most important of nil. he must receive no bad news of any kind. The slightest shock might be fatal. We shall have to keen this a secret between us, my dear, and you must never, under any circumstances, let Sumner know of his real condition. I tell you this," the doctor finished, "be cause I know you are big enough and brave enough to help me and to help your husband. That was all. but it was suffici ent to leave the girl white and frightened and she huddled there on the bed, a scared and trembling 1 ttle figure and she wondered how she would ever have the courage to go on with this great responsi bliitv Dlaced upon her shoulders. She repeated the doctor s woros and they seemed . to give her strength. T know you are big enough and brave enough to help your husband. She must snow ur. Buckley that he was not mistaken in his judgment of her that she was brave enough. But, oh, how hard it was going to be! ... . There was the rush and excite ment of packing for the sea voyage and a dozen and one other details to be attended to and Carol, in a measure, managed to overcome the feeling of panic thatad first en veloped her when she received the doctor's letter. She paid Magnolia farewell visit and she did not give way to the tears that wanted to come when her mend told her It was indeed goodbye, for she would be in France by the time Carol returned from Bermuda. Carol and Magnolia both laughed at Black Maria's funeral expression as she superintended the Job oi dismantling the little house. Two stalwart young men in the employ of one of the city's storage houses were the colored woman s victims and it would have been apparent to the most undiscerning eye that these two were not anxious to arouse the enmity. ot the dusky tyrant. "Tills is Black Maria's last and only performance on American soil and she's going to make the most of it." Magnolia said laugh ingly to CaroL ' Bless her old heart," Carol re plied, and there was a little catch in her voice. "I wonder how she'll ever stand it In a strange country. Its cruel, really Magnolia, to up root the dear old thing this way." Magnolia shrugged. "Not cruel at alL" she told the girl. "Maria will get the greatest kick out of It sh.es ever had in her life. I know her better than you do, you know, Caroline." Carol agreed that it might be so, but she was full of sympathy for the faithful old servant, and after subdued and rather hasty fare well in which neither of the wo men spoke the words their hearts wanted to utter, she departed, and the pathetic picture of the colored woman was still in her mind. When Sumner found the girl late that afternoon, curled up in a big chair by the library fireplace her expression was brooding and thoughtful. "What's the matter, youngster," he asked her. "You look as though your last friend had deserted you." "I'm thinking,' Carol answered, "about poor old Black Maria." "Black thoughts, indeed," said Sumner, smiling. "Somehow, I cant get her out of my mind," Carol went on thought fully. "You know, Crawford, I believe she's the pluckiest person I've ever known." "Why do you say that, Carol?" "Because she's going Into a new world when she goes to France with Magnolia. A new world to her, I mean a world lull of horrors and strange, unreal people. She tried to give me her Impression of Eu rope once and I could only begin to grasp her idea of it." Carol paused and shook her hend flowlv. "And ROMAN GALLEY OF LAKE NEMI TO BE STUDIED Rome. (Untied Press) Now that Roman galleys in Lake Neml will yield up their 2000-year-old secrets, the time is approaching when the archeologlsts and historians here are speculating as to what is like ly to be discovered. A couple of feet of wooden poop of the larger galley already shows above the water of the lake, and it Is now only a matter of a few months before the galleys will be high and dry, or at any rate entirely accessible and explorable. The galleys are generally sup posed to have been luxurious house boats of the Emperor Caligula, but historians, as a matter of fact, are not in agreement on this point Some think that they belonged to Tiberius. Fragment oi tne gal leys brought to the surface during the last fifty years have revealed the names ot both emperors.

The second morning at sea, Carol lay back in a deck chair and watched fat, white clouds that hur ried across the blue roof ot the sky. She had forgotten her worries and had given herself up to the sheer beauty of the morning. Anxious, the white clouds seemed, hurrying somewhere, and Carol wondered idlv where they were going.
