Willey, who has been a fond believer in nudism long before it became a drawing room conversational topic, had another brush today other than the bushy one on his jowls. This one was with the law. Willey was tried and found guilty of disorderly conduct here growing out of an assertion he asked a wo man on a Portland street that she "ought to dress like 1 do." Willey at that time was clad as he has been for years in an eye shade pulled over his grizzled, reddish-brown hair, and a brown pair of gymnasium shorts. Latest development came when Willey's attorney, William Hoesly, today asked a new trial for his cli ent because of misconduct on the part of a juror. Hoesly claimed he had an affida vit to the effect one woman juror said "If it's not against the law to dress like that it should be," when she saw Willey, almost a natural sitting at the defendant's table. Today his repeal was denied and Willey was fined $15. He dug for the money in his pockets, but was "caught short" when he remembei ed there were no such things as pock ets in khaki shorts. Nor any such tiling as $15.

Slot ma chines of all kinds and description are setting about the room seem ingly anxiously looking for suck ers. Leaves liberally sprinkled about lawns and streets indicate that fall isn't far off. So quit kicking about the hot days for there aren't many more of them around the corner. With the slot machines it's easy come, easy go. With the leaves It's easy come but hard to rake. HERE'S ONE FOR CITY EMPLOYEES McComb, Miss. (JP) A big chicken hawk swooped down on an NRA eagle on a placard in a barber shop window here and broke its neck. Chief of Police Dud R. Brimficld saw the "fight." Nero fiddled while Rome burned, as you no doubt have heard before. Sampson slept while Delilah cut his hair. The continentals on Bun ker hill had to wait until the ene mies showed the whites of their eyes before a shot could be fired. In each of these cases the situation had its points. But we had to work today while the Woodburn-Chicago game was being broadcast to the world. Speaking-of which Mr. and Mrs. James Nicholson and Mr. and Mrs. Saalstrom held a radio party at 11 a. m. today at the Nicholson home on North Summer street. Same be ing parents of two of the shining lights on the Woodburn team. Out of respect to the radio party Jim's next door neighbor quit splitting wood and a woodsaw which had been working up the street laid off for the day. A. W, Prescott, who has been visiting hereabouts this - summer. left today to return to the backyard garden he's been running in Aiaoa- ma for Ex-Senator Bourne. This little plot Includes 300 acres, of which 1500 acres are planted to pecan trees, and the balance is in orange groves, hay patches and the like. A. W. told us when he drove around his patch he covered 16 miles In the car. He looked a little thin while here as it takes him two or three hours a day most of the summer to noe the pecan or chard when he isn't out picking or anges or shocking hay. A. W. used to be Oregonian correspondent here and later was in Washington on various Jobs. A counterfeiting plant has been discovered in the federal prison at Leavenworth. Maybe the govern ment was just getting some green backs printed up ahead for infla tion. One of our most valued corres pondents suggests that with fires destroying our forests out here and rains and water destroying everything on the Atlantic coast, if the government could only get these two elements at each other it would clean up the situation. We'll take it up with General Johnson. The press associations keep us fairly well posted as to sleeping sickness. But Steve Stone is away on his vacation, hasn't sent In any postcards, and we're beginning to get a little anxious about the out come of his case. Lindberghs Resting On Shetland Islands Lerwick, Shetland Islands, Aug 25 m Col. Charles A. Lindbergh decided today to remain in the Shetlands until tomorrow.

Under this law de linquent assessments may be re bonded, thus extending the period of payment over an additional 10 years. Payments under the new plan are made every six months instead of every year. Several property own ers have already taken advantage of the re bonding plan, thus staving off the issurance of delinquency cer tificates which draw 12 per cent in terest and event foreclosure pro ceedings.
