An exceptionally fine collection Good Evening! Sips for Supper By DON UPJOHN Rufe Harris, editor of the King- wood Review, In bis current Issue, espouses the cause of nudism. Ever since Rufe discarded his toupee some years ago we've thought he had some personal predictions in that direction.

We expect if he stays in the newspaper business in West Salem long enough the rest will follow as a matter of course.' Rufe also backs a move for SO miles of roses along the Pacific highway. If he's serious about this nudist cult we suggest he change his slogan to fifty miles of fig trees. Anyway, Rufe. these foggy days are a safe time for practice, if you really want to become a nudist.

S. Holding Drop of Dollar to A More Gradual Basis Seems Policy Washington, Nov. 10 (LP) For the first time since the government in augurated its new gold purchase policy, it failed today to post a price higher than the world open market quotation In London. The price offered today by the re construction finance corporation for newly mined domestic gold was $33.20 per ounce, an increase of only five, cents above yesterday's price. Because of continued weakness in the dollar, today's London . gold price, figured at the early high ex change rate of $5.15 to the pound, was $33.39 per ounce. At this rate the London price was 19 cents higher than the domestic price and precluded the possibility of this government acquiring any foreign gold at today's prices. Failure to keep the domestic price higher than the world quota tion apparently indicated that the government was easing up, for the time being at least, in the dollar depreciation campaign through which it aims to Increase general price levels.

The president of the American Federation of Labor does not, how ever, fear any "moral breakdown" among workers with the return of splritous beverages. He does expect a "very great many" to be scratched from unemployment rolls when the liquor industry gets under way again. "Our experience during the days of the open saloon," he said today, "ought to serve us well now. We ought to apply these lessons we have learned so that the abuses that grow out of the sale of intoxi cating liquor can be controlled. "The laws and ordinances ought to be severe, and then the power to enforce them created arid that pow er exercised without fear or favor, free from political influence." One argument In favor of prohibi tion has been that workingmen too often spent a large share of their wages In saloons Instead of for ne cessities of life.
