"With or without offense to friends or foet I sketch your world exactly as it goes." Byron Fat Pickings According to official records the council's merry-go-round on the water issue has cost the city of Salem $18, 407.87 of taxpayers' money with part of the costs not yet in. And there is nothing to show for it. Arbitration proceedings, abandoned at the eleventh hour have cost $3193.22 with from $500 to $1000 still owed. And condemnation proceedings will probably cost more than the $20,000 already wasted, entail endless delay, with only law yers and engineers profiting. Walter C. Winslow, who has been retained as special counsel to assist the city attorney in condemnation proceed ings is to receive $100 a day for his time while working in the trial and $50 a day for his services in preparing the case, and keep his own time. Engineering experts will have to be paid at least $50 a day and other witnesses varying amounts, while court, travel and other expenses will swell the total. Arbitration proceedings occupied 75 days and extension of time, needed to complete the findings was refused. Con demnation proceedings will require even longer time for most of the expert witnesses will have to spend as much time as the arbiters in studying the plant to be qualified to pass on its value for testimony. Small wonder the lawyers and engineers prefer condem nation proceedings its fat pickings for them. Educating Adults "Adult education will become a regular feature of the public school system throughout the country within the next decade," says Dr. Lyman Bryson, professor of education at Teachers' College, Columbia university as quoted in the New York Times. All of which is a tacit admission of the failure of the public educational system in America. If youth were prop erly schooled, the necessity for sending adults to school would not exist. The Columbia Teacher's college has done much to de termine the trend of public education in America for the past twenty years, during which time schools have become the costliest department of government. Besides the schools, army and navy and even veteran costs are trifling, yet de spite the enormous and increasing outlay, education has ap parently failed to accomplish its purpose and we are advised we must reeducate the adults, who have already graduated from educational mills. If adults must be educated anew, it should be at their own expense, not the public's. But the answer logically is to reform our public school system so that children will be grounded at least in the fundamentals as their fathers were, instead of wasting time on frills and foibles. ' Hazards of the Air Crash of the giant American built Royal Dutch air liner "Univer," its burning and wreckage, with its seven occupants killed in a desert thunderstorm in Iraq emphasizes the haz ards of the elements in aerial navigation and the impossi bility of ever surmounting them. They constitute risks that cannot be eliminated. The "Univer" was the last word in airplanes. Only re cently it won laurels in the England to .Melbourne air derby. It was fool proof and as safe as a plane can be and its pilots were distinguished aviators. But it was helpless before a sudden storm that the desert bred without warning. It is surmized that the liner was struck by lightning which seems probable for an all metal plane flitting between clouds must attract lightning just as the metal mast on the Empire building does. The only safeguard is to refuse flight when storms impend, or to land when encountered. This is possible in a settled region where weather records are avail able and landing fields abound, but impossible on the moun tainous deserts where there are neither weather bureaus nor landing places. Highway Progress Prospects of early completion of both Santiam highways are advanced by the allocation of $125,000 to each the North and South routes from, federal forest funds by the state highway commission and forest officials. The allotment must be approved by the secretary of agriculture to whom the recommendations are forwarded. The $125,000 to North Santiam will nearly cover grad ing costs in the section remaining between the end of the present work and the junction with the South Santiam. Clearing of the route was completed this year. Some work is being done in clearing the right-of-way for the new route at Niagara by the transient workers at Camp Santiam and there is every likelihood that the next two years will see the completion of the North Santiam highway for winter as well as summer use.

Large assortment of Xmaa Jewelry ....$4.00 COMMERCIAL TIME SHOP GUARANTEED WATCH REPAIRINO Ml North Commercial St. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Dec. 19 You could see a wholly different business at titude toward the administration on the Inside of that White . Sulphur 3prin?s meeting of industrial mas ter minds. Six months ago. these same busi ness leaders were tearing and snort ing at the new deal. But at this meeting, they ac tually held up Ebaet their program un- PAUL MAI-LOX til they could get word from the White House that it would be acceptable. There was no whispered criticism of President Roosevelt or his poli cies, but only a genuine and some what meek desire to work things out amicably. Ivy!"" FA'- Results What the effort will amount to remains to be seen. The real reason that the meeting was called was to create unity among the white shirts. The U. S. cham ber of commerce was always saying business wanted one thing, while the National Association of Manu facturers frequently asserted it wanted something else. The administration has often told business representatives privately that it could not do very much for business until business agreed on what it wanted. The new cooperative organization is supposed to keep the new deal advised on what business needs from the government. In that re spect, it will probably work out verv well. Rivalry There was a lot of in side sparring at the start of the meeting between the chamber of commerce and the manufacturers' association. Both wanted to get control of the key positions. The manufacturers' crowd fs younger and more militant. The chamber group favored & Hat?on with the new deal, all rieht. but it did not care to move as far or as eagerly as the manufactur ers. The manufacturers thought they walked off with the show when they got seven of the nine key commit tee chairmen. However, this coup was not as sweeping as the figures indicate because some of the seven are also members of the chamber, although their first love is sup posed to be for the manufacturers. Five of the seven are officials of the N.A.M. The rivalry really did not go very far outside of the officers of both organizations. The delegates did not seem to care much about it. There may be some trouble on that score later, but no one be lieves it will interfere with the new cooperative effort. Tactics This new business spirit does not mean that the business organizations have changed their economic policies and embraced Mr. Roosevelt's. The manufacturers started the move for the conferer.ee and thye have a fixed program which does not jibe with the new deal. They want a balanced budget, dollar stabilization, no government competition with private industry, reduced relief, outlawing of sympa thetic strikes, and abandonment of the majority rule of unions. The change merely means they are going to try to get these things by cooperating with the new deal rather than fighting It. Whooping The new deal is try ing to whoop up the business ad visory and planning council and make It the really representative and influential liaison agency. It is composed of about the same crowd hnt W at Whi'e Snlph'ir but business men do not like it very much because they believe It is under the thumb of Commerce Secretary Roper. However, the head of it, H. P. Kendall, Boston textile manufacturer, conferred with Mr. Roosevelt a few days ago on arrangements to step up it activ ities. The council has been meeting every two months, but henceforth will meet monthly. The executive committee will meet every two weeks. Challenge The extent to which NRA Is being challenged In the courts these days Is shown by a private check-up from the files of its litigation division.' In the past six weeks, more than 200 NRA cases have been docketed for legal action. Altogether, a total of 874 cases have been docketed since NRA be gan. Of this number, 485 have been referred to the justice de partment. There are 152 cases now pending in courts. Virtually all these cases result from efforts of NRA to get com pliance with codes or administra tive orders under them. Notes The census bureau has completed a survey showing that one-fourth of the factory wage earners of the country ar in 11 counties. A total of 11,700 banks have sign ed up with the housing adminis tration, but only 3.867 have actu ally made loans. The supreme court discovered only one error in the oil code, but there were two. The word "organ ize" was left out of the labor sec tion, which took the heart out of it. The omission has now been corrected. An International plan to make war profitless was brought up be hind the scenes at Geneva several years ago. It was promptly squash ed by the European po7;ers and nothing about it has even been published. The first time the new deal ever called itself Santa Claus was an announcement (December 12) from the emergency relief administration. The announcement said the FERA would play Santa Claus for poor children, handing out rag dolls and toys. MIGKEY MOUSE CLU3 GETS XMAS PROGRAM The Mickey Mouse club matinee at the Eisinore Saturday will fea ture a special Christmas program.

CHAPTER XI The Gnome When Dazmar and the tin sol dier returned to the toyshop every one was so excited they all gathered round the two dolls. Of course, Santa had to hear the whole story. .And the fairies who make all the dolls were so delighted over the little royal mole baby they made a special crib for him and brought him warm milk and cookies. He didn't whimper one little whimper. He seemed to enjoy himself. Santa's eyes fairly bulged when he heard what the dolls had done, and what had ruined his beautiful holly trees where all our Christmas WTeaths grow. Mrs. Santa held Dagmar and the tin soldier on her lap, and rocked them until they weren't tired any more. And the eanh-worm sat very straight on a footstool near Santa's chair. "Well." said Santa, when he heard the whole story. "We mustn't worry the queen mole about her baby. We must send her a messenger and tell her where the baby is. And we must ask the king mole what can be done about the holly trees. But whom can we send? I won't permit any dolls down there. It is too dangerous." Then up stepped a sturdy look ing gnome who works at Santa's forge. He is the one who fits all the wheels on the toy autos.and trains we receive on Christmas. "If youU pardon me," he said, whipping off his nut-brown cap, "I'd like to go, The moles aren't bad people. I knew them long ago when I lived in the root of an oak tree. We hunted food together. "They're only angry because the holly roots are ruining their home. Maybe we can come to some agree ment." "Fine, said Santa, "and you're rieht about their home." "I'll tro down Chen." sal-! the Quality NOT QUANTITY Our one desire is to have you say . . . Blitz- Ceinhard is a fin fttr! gnome. "Hurrah for him," shouted all the dolls. And they helped him but ton his little brown coat and pull on his brown mittens. He started off and In a short time he was knocking on the door of the mole kingdom, and when the door opened he saw such a sad scene. All the moles were sit ting around and weeping. The place was positively damp with tears. And the king mole had re membered him. and listened quietly. When the gnome finished, the king mole stood up. pulled his fur cape about him. and said very ma jestically: "I shall see Santa my self. Let us go rieht away." So the two started right off to the toyshop. When they arrived Santa and all the dolls were sitting quiet ly. awaiting them. The first thing the mole king did was to dash for the doll crib where the mole baby lay happily nibbling rairy cooscie. The little baby laugh ed and squealed to see his daddy. and the mole kmg looked very relieved.

Butler finished a stroke behind Crulckshank, and Leo Mallory of Noroton, Conn., an other youngster, shot a 269 for third place.
