"With or without offense to friends or foes 1 sketch your world exactly as it goes." Byron The Old A bill introduced by Representative Wallace and passed by the house with a unanimous vote, would call a halt on the costly abuse, that has grown up in the last four yearB, of employing political attorneys to represent the' several state boards and commissions. The bill would prohibit the em ployment of such attorneys only when it was impracticable for the attorney general's office to serve, and then only when the approval of the governor or state board of control had been obtained. The attorney general's office evidently does not like the bill it apparently wishes to perpetuate past abuses. At the time the Wallace bill was up for passage, an attempt was made to have the sponsor withdraw it and substitute one prepared by the attorney general's office. This Mr. Wallace refused to do, with the result that his bill passed the house and is now in committee in the senate. Having failed to have his bill substituted for the Wallace bill in the house, the attorney general has had it introduced in the senate by Senator Duncan. This bill would sanction old abuses and permit the attorney general to build up a fine political machine. All attorney's serving the state would be named by him; he would fix their compensation and expense allowances. The cost, however, would be paid by the depart ment, board or commission to which the attorneys named by him might be assigned. This attorney abuse will never be ended until it is made the duty of the attorney general's office to function as originally intended as the law department of the state and upon the money appropriated for its support by the legis lature. The Duncan bill is but a delusion and a snare and should be killed. The Wallace bill should pass. Tempest in a Teapot It is quite characteristic of legislators, dressed in a lit tle brief authority and overwhelmed by their own import ance, to lose their perspective and what little sense of humor they possess. And this accounts for the tempest in a teapot that raged in the house over the publication of a story in the Capital Journal relating the fact that resentment over Speak er Cooter's "expediency committee" hud materialized in the offering of a facetious resolution calling for the presentation of gavels for each of its members. Marion county's distinguished lady legislator hysteri cally moved a resolution of condemnation against the writer and Representative Nelson of Multnomah moved that the "Capital Journal be barred from the house" while Represen tative Latourette advocated giving the paper "another chance and then denying the courtesy of the house to its representa tive," but there were no seconds. Cooler counsels prevailed when the speaker announced "he could take it." If legislators could see themselves as others see them their fussy essence would not be so much like that of angry apes, for they would have to atlmit that they are staging an essay in futility. A steering committee of some kind that functions is badly needed to bring order out of chaos and dispose of the surplusage of bills but it is rather late in the day and the situation seems to he out of control. Light on Lawyers' Bills T,ight on the $9,784.17 bill presented by the law firm of Clark & Clark, for legal services rendered Public Utilities Commissioner Thomas in the telephone case is shed by a let ter written by Henry Hnnzen, budget commissioner, to Gov ernor Meier in the closing days of his administration reprint ed in the Portland News Telegram. It was this letter that resulted in the failure to pay the bill, though the attorney general said it was none of the board of control's business. The bill, the newspaper states, presumably on llnnzen's au thority, was originally for $15,000, but cut to $10,000 follow ing a meeting participated in by Meier and Thomas. Hansen's letter to the governor calls attention to the fact that Clark & Clark had already received fees of $7,658 for representing the utilities commissioner in other cases, and as the telephone case whs still in litigation and the work done no greater than in other cases, "in my opinion $3,034.17 would constitute a reasonable fee in this particular case." One wonders how many more excessive legal bills have been presented by and paid to political lawyers during the Meier "economy" regime, that Henry was silent about. . The Mahoney Bill Portland, always boasting of the water grades to that city and port, seems to be asleep to the fact that the Willis Mahoney seventy car train bill is before the legislature. This bill would prohibit railroads entering the state to haul more than seventy freight cars or more than fourteen passenger cars in any one train. Water grades, which permitted the hauling of long trains, have given the Port of Portland advantages which have been reflected in lower freight rates. The seventy car bill will nullify all natural advantages and put Portland on a par with the Puget Sound cities which have always been Jinndionppcd by a costly mountain haul.

News Behind The News By PauJ Mallon ' Washington, Feb. 8 The behead in? of Messrs. Prank, Howe, et al, points to a rather general Inside situation. Appar ently no new dealer except President Boose pelt himself could ?et insurance on his political life ;hese days. Hardly a week passes with out some new pub lished rumor of a possible resigna- :ion. Those who PALL MALLON nave been men tioned within the past few months include Messrs. Ickes, Moffett, Clay Williams, Peek, Eiddle, Ben Cohen and sundry lesser lights. These rum ors seldom turn out to be true, but they reflect an inner conflict and commotion which approaches con fusion. Sources Newsmen do not sit around and dream these rumors. They come irenerally from new deal officials whose reliability cannot be ignored, but who often have some particular ax of their own to grind. The erroneous rumor that Chester Davis, victorious AAA administra tor, would retire came, at least par tially, from no less an authoritative source than Mr. Davis himself. A newsman obtained the original tip elsewhere and conferred with Mr Davis before writing the story. Mr. Davis did nothing to stop the story until several days later. Apparently, Mr. Davis did not know at that time where he stood, and discovered it only three days before the guillotine was let fall on his opponents. Ax There can be no question about what happened in the whole sale shake-up in the agriculture ad justment administration. Certain new deal smoothies are naturally trying to make it look like a long contemplated routine reorganization just "puUing-the-department-on-a - permanent - orgnniaUon-bJusis" sort of thing. This is the customary official excuse, but it is so old that no one is really expected to believe it. What happened was that the Tug wellian clique leaders were fired, ousted, canned. It was done without advance warning while their bene factor, Prof. Tugwell. was away. H(? was in Florida on official business, possibly inspecting sea shells on the beach j Wha! caused it was a mixture ot personal and fundamental animosi ties, none ot which seems to bo as important as the contestants think it is. Fascism Political seers undoubt edly will see behind it another new deal swine to the right, possibly even a step toward fascism. There is a small grain of truth in that in terpretation, but not more than a grain. The plain fact is that the AAA chicken is all left wing, and there are no fascist gizzards inside it anywhere. A simpler Interpretation would seem to be that the extreme left wins tip has been clipped and that is all. The main practical effect will be to give the farm groups unrestrain ed control. Wenkened will be the conflicting consumers' protection restraint and the college professor influence. (Tugwell has had nothing to do with the AAA , for eight months.) Carping It has been denied, but the point which finally brought the break was a quarrel over prying in to the books of processors. Tugwel lian Attorney Prank was eager to do It. So was the consumer counsel Fred Howe. They framed a very strong amendment to be passed by congress. The Chester Davis clique did not like the wording of the amendment, and presumably did not care much Make Your Own m Jp 2680 for the idea, although a somewhat less stringent amendment Is now promised by them. ' The dismissed Tugwellians also demanded closer supervision of mar keting amendments; full right to in vestigate profit and cost data; rigid control of dairies, canners, millers, etc. I These high pressure demands 1 made Mr. Davis boil over last week.1 He went privately to the boss. Ag riculture Secretary Wallace, who has tried to be fair at both sides. Mr. Davis took with him all his accum ulated grief and evidence of sharp shooting from his adversaries. He demanded what la commonly known as a show-down and got It. j You may recall that, only a week before, It had been rumored Mr.! Davis would resign. And U turned out he got his adversaries before they could get him. Censorship? One Important ef fect of Mr. Wallace's wing clipping may never become known. It will be a tight clamping down on the lid on all unofficial news. Messrs. Wal lace and Davis, particularly Davis, have been very much annoyed lately about leaks. They wrongly suspected some of their adversaries. They plan now to let out only such news as they de sire, and let it out only through the press publicity funnel but they may be disappointed. Gem The new dealers are be coming really slick in their meth ods. The official announcement of the reorganization, for Instance, was a publicity gem. It might well be used as a text book for all aspiring press agents. Not one word was said in it about firing anyone or abolishing any de partment. Frank's name was not mentioned, nor was Howe's. The statement was confined to the "con structive" results of the reorganiza tion, which concealed the whole storv. The name of every new division chief was mentioned in the an nouncement, but a vacant space was left where Howe's name would ordi narily have been placed as head of consumers' counsel. West of the By Herbert H. Hilscher, F. The other evening I had dinner at the home of a doctor friend of mine. On the side board were two beautifully hand carved lions. They looked so real that except for the fact that they were only six inches high, they mi?ht just as well have been alive. The doctor informed me that they were a gift of appre ciation from a wealthy Chinese for1 curing him of the eczema. The. Chinese had doctored with every body In Manila and with one fell swoop when my friend took over the case the eczema disappeared. The Chinese was overjoyed hence the honored gift of the lions. But now the doctor is stratching his head. The eczema has returned and he Is wondering if the lions will have to go back. The Elks club of Manila is Just about the best known club in the world. The hospitality is genuine and most exhilarating. Last e"ve ninir just before dinner there were 28 dice boxes going at the same time on the bar. And just for the curiosity of "West of the Date Line" I counted the boxes on the rack. 143 boxes each with the name of the owner stamped in gold letters on the side. Now that's a lot of galloping digits in any man's club. And confidentially the cash register simply wears out every six months. It's the busiest pesos box In the Islands and clinks though its draw ers more than seven thousand pesos a month. In plain United States language that means three thousand five hundred dollars every 30 days. !

Chapter 45 RACE It was only a short pull forty yards at the utmost but with the spray splashing over us at every stroke we were all four drenched to the skin by the time we got on board. George, who was waiting for us on deck, heralded our approach by a chorus of staccato barks, his en thusiasm culminating in a frantic attempt to lick each of our faces In turn as we climbed up over the side. "What about a hot drink and a mouthful of biscuit straight away?" suggested Jerry. 'T could do with it for one, and Heaven knows when we shall get another chance." "I'll put the Primus on.'.' Jimmy wriggled out of his dripping mack intosh. "You'd better 'ave this back now, sir. You'll be wanting it If we're going out amongst that lot." He disappeared briskly through the cabin door, and after a medita tive glance seaward Jerry turned to us. "Of course," he observed, "mira cles do happen occasionally, but somehow or other I don't altogether like the look of this one. Seems just a little to good to be true." "I've the same pleasant feeling myself." I admitted. "We're in for something that's certain and. what's more, it won't be long in coming. Now they know we've got the formula . . ." He broke off. "How's the shoulder. Nick?" "None to gay," I replied. "Still, Date Line R. G. S., Explorers' Club The liberals want to add concubi nage, desertion and incompatabil ity, but they are. meeting a lot of opposition. The debate grew so hot last week that one of the propon ents was accused of desiring the new law so that he could be the first to get a divorce. How the world does shrink! Met Monsieiir Francois Martin, director in Saigon for Air France, the great combination of all French Air lines. Just think. You can get aboard the Air France plane in Saigon on Sun day and arrive In Paris the follow ing Sunday. Your plane makes 18 stops in 11 countries. It won't be long before you will be able to make the circuit of the globe in a two weeks' vacation. You've often heard the story that Queen Victoria, very fond of trop ical fruits, tasted all except one. And that exception was the deli cate mangosteen which grows In the Dutch East Indies. She greatly regretted not haing tasted this ex quisite perfection of nature before she passed on. A dozen attempts were made to bring the mangosteen to her, but each failed. However, today you can place an order with your Paris or London green grocer for two dozen mangosteens that Is if you have enough money! He will cable Batavta, Java and about four dozen will be picked, wrapped in cotton, slowly chilled and placed in dry Ice containers. About half will be still In good condition when they arrive In Parts and London via the air express. Thus the last resistance of the tropics seems to have bowed its head before the ad vance of so-called civilization. A champagne merchant in Saigon I whispered this to me so don't spread 1 It far and wide. Pommery Cham pagne from Reims Is perhaps the greatest favorite out East where connoisseurs can tell with a sip the brand and the vintage. Whenever the Pommery vineyards produce too many champagne grapes for the Pommery label, the identical cham pagne Is bottled under the brand name of V.P." and sells for a third the price. Now be nice and thank me for the tip. Don't be surprised that Is don't be shocked too much when you see "Du Savon 50 cents" on your hotel bill. In French territory It seems customary for the manage ment to supply you with a bar or exquisite face soap and then put It on your bill. Remember when we were kids there used to be an expression "Nit" which we tacked onto the end of a sentence to make It mean Just the opposite, "Sure, 111 take you to the movie tonight, nit." Do you remember? Well, "nit, means something entirely different out here in the East Far East. The natives have just the best time squatting on street comers and "nlttlng" each other. It is done a la monkey fashion and In the most approved manner by mashing the nits between the two thumb nails. Lots of fun, I should Imagine.

By VICTOR BRIDGES my left arm's sound enough." He nodded. "That's something. I can manage all right for the present but if we have to clear out in a bit of a hurry, I shall want you to stand by for the tiller." "What are you going to do?" I in quired. "Just get things ready. It will be another forty minutes at least be fore the bar's really safe, but there's no harm In making a few prepara tions. You two stay here, and for the love of Mike, keep your eyes open." He left us abruptly, and, mov ing forward into the bows, started to haul in the slack of the anchor chain. Down below, through the open door of the cabin, I could hear Jimmy pumping up the Primus. "I'd give a lot to know what's happened to our dear friend Or loff," I said. "Where do you sup pose he was making for when he slipped off from the factory?" "I've been trying to work It out." Molly sat down beside me on the wet cabin top. "I believe he meant to go back to the boat. He'd fin ished with us at least, so he thought but that was no use un less he could get rid of the others too. "I don't know how he was going to do it . I expect he had some cunning and horrible plan to make it look as if we'd all been killed in the explosion. Anyhow, he cer tainly wouldn't waste time. He'd siren dy sent one of his men to watch the farm, and ..." "But when he found we'd es-; caped," I broke in, "why didn't he finish us off then? What chance should we have had against a crowd of armd tnugns?" She shook her head. "It's got to look like an accident. Nick. After all this isn't Russia. You can't shoot down four people and just leave their bodies lying about on the marsh. Why, even now, when he knows . . ." "Listen!" I gripped hold of her wrist, and I for a tense second we both sat there :in breathless silence. Through the moaning of the wind, from some where far away up the creek, came a faint, unmistakable sound It was the purring spit of a marine engine. "Hear that?" With the swiftness cf a cat Jerry was back again be side us. "A ten-horse Kelvin from the sound of it. Chuck off those ropes, man. and get hold of the tiller. If we're not out of this quick, it's all up with is." He was gone again In a flash, and for two minutes of feverish activ ity thf world seemed to consist of 'soaked canvas and recalcitrant knots. I was dimly conscious of the crash of the anchor, and the wild flut tering of a rebellious jib; then, tiller in hand, I found myself crouching forward on the wet counter, while foot bv foot Jerry hauled up the strug?lir. mainsail. "That's all right. Let her come." Round we swuns. heeling over to our lee gunwale, and taking in a rush of water that surged furiously up the deck. With only one arm at my disposal, it was as much as I could do to battle against the force of the gaie. Something like a red-hot gimlet seemed to be boring vigorously into my damaged shoulder, and every wave that slapped against our bows sent a shower of stinging spray into my eyes. Through it all the menacing throb behind us grew clearer and clearer. "I can see them now, Nick. They're just coming round the bend." Molly's voice was as steady as CUNDOWN' CHKISTIPHER SEES By Mary Graham Bonner Christopher had injured his wing. He had certainly given it a terrific crack when he had knocked over the rockin? chair, and now the Puddle Muddlers were gathered about him as he was held by Willy Nilly. "And it's his left wing, to," said Willy Nilly. "That will mean it will be hard for him to get any sleep. He is so in the habit of sleeping with his head under that wing that he can't be comfortable any other way." "That's true," agreed Top Notch sadly. "I'll be all right," said Chris topher, who really felt as though he were pretty much cracked up. "How does your eye feel now?" asked Mrs. Quacko Duck, who hoped that there would be something cheerful for poor Christopher. She rather believed that his eye had received treatment quickly enough to be all right. "It feels fine." cawed Christo pher. Mrs. Quacko took off the bandage and looked at the eye. Christo pher blinked It and then cawed with delight. "I can see all of your "Let's be sure you arent looking out of your good eye," said Top Notch, In his practical rooster voice. "What a dreadful thing to say!" "Not dreadful at all, I m as anx ious for him to be all right as you are," returned Top Notch. And they all krtwe this was true. Only Top Notch had not been very tact ful. But he put one wing over Chris topher's good eye. "I can see. It's all right!" cawed Christopher happily."

"Thanks, old man, IU take her on now. You get down into the well. Molly." Jerry, who had already possessed himself of. the tiller, slipped deftly into my place, and edging out of his way, I peered through the fly ing spume at the white-crested tur moil ahead of us. "Looks ugly," he remarked, ' but it's our only chance. Now they know we've got the paper those devils won't care a curse what hap pens. They'll shoot us down like rabbits, and then make for that ship of theirs." I fished out the revolver which I had stuffed away Into my side pocket. "They'll have to hurry," I muttered. "If they don't catch us before we reach the bar . . ." "That's what I'm counting on." Jerry laughed grimly. "They must draw at least a couple of feet more than we do, and with any luck there's an almighty smash coming for somebody. He eased off the mainsheet, and with the wind dead behind us, the Seagull heaved and smashed her way joyously through the on-rush ing tide.

Haskm, Director. Washington, D. C. Please enclose three (3) cents for reply. Q. How early were waterworks constructed? F.A.B, A. Waterworks structures have existed from the earliest periods of civilization, and remains have been found in many prehistoric ruins. Those of Lake Moeris in E?ypt arc believed to date from 200 B. C. These were the largest reservoirs in the Nile valley. In India water works and reservoirs were in exist ence centuries before the Christian Era. There are also numerous Biblical references to such struc tures. The water supply of Rome was one of the marvels of ancient times. Q. What is the largest ship which has been built under the Nazi re gime? A.S. A. It is the Scharnhorst, recent ly launched at Bremen, and built lor service between Germany and the Far East. Q. How much money Is paid out in taxes in the United States? R.S. A. It is estimated by the national Industrial conference board that the taxes paid annually in the United States amount to $9,500,000,- 000. Q. I know that the quotation, "Everybody talks about the weather a lot, but no one does anything about It," Is often attributed to Mark Twain, but does not appear in his writings. Isn't It possible to trace it? O.G. A. Charles Dudley Warner, editor, author, and friend of Mark Twain's, is the originator of this famous witticism. The paragraph was writ ten by him for the editorial page of the Hartford Courant. Q. Is a house which Is painted a dark color hotter than one paint ed yellow or white? C.C. A.

With the help of her en gine the pursuing cutter was over hauling us rapidly. In the bright light of the moon which now shone down through a gap in the cloud bank, I could see her crew of four as plainly as though it were daytime. One oi them, a huge bareheaded fellow, who was steering, I recognized at once. It was my old acquaintance, the big Russian sailor. With his bestial features and enormous breadth of shoulder he looked for all the world like some monstrous ape, but It was on ths man who was crouching motionless beside him that my eyes instinctive. ly riveted themselves. A cold blast of hatred went through my heart as I stared at that still sinister figure. He sat there, bent slightly forward, his face a white mask in the moonlight. Except for the slight swaying of his body as the ship rose and felL he never stirred or -varied his posi tion.

Twistln? myself around, I took a glance forward over the plunging bobstay. Directly ahead of us the line of breakers that stretched from shore to shore was broken by narrow strip of dark, swirling water. On each sice of this, over the crest of the ridge a white mael strom boiled and bubbled, while here and there patches of black sand still showed amongst the frothing turmoil. 'To be Continued) Questions Q. What Is the method of fish ing known as guddling? F.K. A. Guddling Is the method of catching fish with the hands by groping in their lurking places. Q. I notice that some writer states that one reason for the rapid spread of the stnrllng and English spnrrow In the United States was that some of their nat ural enemies were not brought with them when they came into this country. What are the natural enemies of these two birds? H.J. A. Among their enemies may be mentioned any of the good-sized hawks, the little owl, the weasel, and the gray squirrel. Mammals such as the weasel and squirrel at tack the nests especially. Several types of birds which are natural enemies of the sparrow, but not of the starling, because of the lat ter's greater stee and pugnadous ness are: the rook, the magpie, and the Jay. Neither bird had any In ternal parasites and the fact that both species took up their resi dence In or near cities lessened the number of natural enemies which they had had Jn England.
