"With or without offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it crocs." Selfish Opposition Exemplifying the tactics by which development of the Willamette valley has been retarded by the subordination of public interests to personal considerations, a group of resi dents between Salem and Albany is protesting the proposed program for modernization of the Pacific highway, the heav. iest traveled road in the state and the principal north and south artery. The highway commission, utilizing federal funds, pro poses to widen, realign and reconstruct this stretch of road to meet existing and indicated traffic demands and to con form to modern standards. But the improvement is opposed because the new line will infringe in places upon private property and will require some service stations and roadside eating places to move their locations if they are to remain on the main line of travel. To accommodate these individuals the commission is requested to modify its plans and restrict improvements to curve reductions and shoulder widening. Aside from the fact that to secure federal funds for pri mary highway improvements the commission must conform to standards established by the bureau of public roads, the commission will not be justified in spending its available funds on makeshift improvements to the most important highway in the state. There has been too much waste of money of this kind in the past. The Salem-Jeffcrson section has long been recognized as one of the principal bottlenecks along the Pacific high way. It is crooked, narrow, dangerous and entirely inade quate for the flow of high speed through traffic it serves. In the interests of everyone concerned its reconstruction to modern standards should be encouraged and supported, rather than condemned and opposed. Bait for A young woman vacationist who painted her toenails red had a toe bitten off by a big bass which evidently mis took it for a shrimp or crawfish or somepin attractive. The girl was properly punished for her silly fad and probably the bass was also properly punished for his greediness by the most indigestible of morsels. However painting the toenails is not as bad as the craze for painting the fingernails, for the former are partially con cealed by the open weave shoes or sandals, while the latter brazenly flaunt their bloodiness in barbaric flashiness. How ever there is no accounting for feminine ideas of bizarre heauly. Painted nails are preferable to painted lips which look as if the vain seeker for rharm, had sipped from a bucket of blood and let it dry on in a manner to shame nature. It pro vides a grewsome and startling contrast so artificial fre quently that it jars the beholder. If there is anything at tractive about lipsticked lips, it is beyond mere man. Yet it is all part rc the new cult of artificially that seeks to paint the rose by rouge and perfume the lily with calci mine, to give woman'3 crowning glory, her hair, a washboard and wringer effect in various hues, emphasizes antiquity by endeavoring to m.ike grandma a flapper and otherwise stresses women's new found "liberty." Exposing a Racket Howard C. Hopson, master mind of the Associated Gas and Electric company, utility holding company, who bor rowed a million dollars on stockholders' security to wage a war against I he utility bill containing the "death clause" for needless holding companies in behalf of "widows and or phans", admits that he made personally $3,187,064 profits from his private service companies out of the A. G. & E., during the five years that stockholders received no dividends. Hopion also admitted profits of $13,000,000 from 1!)26 lo 1933 from milking the operating companies in his system for his "service" companies. He admitted borrowing $10, (100 with J. I. Mange to establish this service, the Associated Securities corporation, ran it into a $900,000 corporation and repaid the original loan. The company's issue of Class A stock expanded from 400,000 to 4,737,249 by the end of 1929 and t lie books showed a profit of slock from "one hand to the The evidence shows plainly enough why such holding companies, which merely act as siphons to divert the profits of operating companies into the pockets of the parasitic pro moters, should be abolished.

BJerke of Hatton. N. Dakota, left this week for her home following a two months visit with relatives in the Evans Val ley community. A number of social affairs were given for the pleasure of Mrs. BJerke during her stay here. rU NH: i;T OFF West Slayton The I'nlicd Farm ers' league has postponed Its picnic.

Chapter 22 REX RETURN'S Albery's smooth voice was a com mand. Laurie accepted It as busi ness. Perhaps he wanted to make corrections in the report. "I will go and telephone my Bis ter." she KHid. When Albery came Into her of fice, he said: "Mrs. Moore, I didn't mention it on Sunday, but this fuel that we are working on Is a secret. I suppose Moore has not told you about it?" "Oh, no," she said warmly. "I knew he hadn't. But I would just like to know. It is a very Im portant discovery. It will give us a great advantage In the air when we get It right. That is one of the reasons why I am glad to have you doing my private correspondence." "Of course, I should not mention It to anybody," Laurie said, and added in a slightly stiff voice: "Rex does not talk to me about his pro fession." "You must be excited about his return. He will be a greater hero than ever. I thought I would mention about the fuel being secret, but I am sure you are the soul of discretion." Then, with his flashing smile, he added, "When we get the fuel right, perhaps we'll call It after you . Laurie! Prettier than B. P. or Pratt's, or Mex or Ethyl, isn't it?" She laughed in natural amuse ment, but grew apprehensive again, as he said quietly: "I hope you have quite forgiven me for what I said the other day. It has been painful to me to re member that I lost my self control. I wanted to speak of it at Pen Gretton on Sunday, but I hadn't the pluck.' Her discomfort was swallowed In a swift rush of pity. Why should this man be apologizing to her so humbly? This man who had done everything for her, given her a place In the world, an interest in life, self-support and self-respect. Of course, some brain crisis must have overcome him when he had told her that he loved her. when he had tried to take her In his arms. Please, Mr. Albert , don't say anything more about it. I shall never think of It again." "There is one way in which I don't want you really to forget, Mrs. Moore," he persisted, with that sad little smile that made his face so old and so Inscrutable. "I only want you to forgive me. But I don't want you to forget that if over you need a friend. I am here. And I am not ashamed of your knowledge that it has made me unhappy that you have come too late into my life." Laurie looked at him with an embarrassed but grnteful smile. She could not help feeling flattered and honored. Behind his Impassive Oriental mask Mark Albery was at that mo ment asking himself questions that would have amazed her. How can I get her? What Is there under her skin? What Is it that I want in her? What Is she really like? Or is there dust In my eyes? is she a Sphinx without a secret? Why does she send me nind? Why can't I live without her? Can I buy her? Does she care for money? Is she in love with Moore? If she is, I'll get rid of him. I'll risk hell to get her." Mad, delirious, chaotic thoughts behind that impassive face that Laurie glanced at now and then In profile from her seat In t tic big car. But, on the surface, only an ele gant man of the world, an appreci ative employer, helping lits efficient secretary out of his car In front of a restaurant in the Strand. About an hour later. Rex Moore rang the bell of the flat in Chel sea, and the porler deposited his Ucht lucgase in the hall when Olad.vs opened the door. "Oh!" exclaimed the girl, who knew him at once from his phclos In the papers, but was rather over come by his size and vitality and his outlandish clothes. "It's Rex Moore, isn't It? I say, Laurie isn't In." "Is'nt she? And you're Gladys?" He wrung her hand, and she was quirk to feel the pulsing life of that grip, like an electric shock. She stared at him. "She wasn't expecting you. She rang up a little while ago to sny she was late at the office and was having dinner with Mr. Albery. She said she wouldn't be late home." Late at the office.

Rex Moore gave an angry little laugh that Gladys did not understand, but thought thrill ing and frightfully strong. She was actually "thrilled to the bone" by his personality, as she told her sis ter she would be. "I'm afraid there's nothing to eat." she told Rex. "And Mrs. has gone." "Thai's all right. I had some thing at Croydon, and if I want anything more I can go out." He was hurt at Laurie being out. How ridiculous! And dining with Albery. Why shouldn't she? It could be no business of his. He had seen that Albery was keen on her. And he hadn't advised her of his arrival.

The French national anthem was composed, both words and mu sic, in one night (April 24, 1702) by Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, a French captain of engineers who happened also to be a musical ama teur. The need of a marching song for the French had been expressed by the Mayor of Strasbourg, where de Lisle was then quartered, and the world-famous hymn was his re sponse. It derived its name from the fact of its having been sung with such enthusiasm by the troops on setting out from Marseille for Paris. Q. When was the pillory as a form of punishment abolished in England? H.M. A. It was abolished In 1816 except for perjury and subornation, and the perjurer, Peter James Bossy, was the last to stand In the pillory at the Old Bailey for one hour on June 22, 1830. It was finally abol ished in 1837 at the end of William IV's reign. Q. What were the earliest schools for the blind? F.H. A. Education of the youthful blind in Europe began in Paris in 1784; that in the United States, in Bos ton. New York City, and Philadel phia in 1832 and 1833. These earli est schools and four others are in corporated, residential, state-aided institutions. Four others are under the auspices of the Catholic Church, In 1837 Ohio established the first state-supported school for the blind. and many states quickly followed, Q. Who was called the modern St, George of the pen? E.M. A. This expression was applied to Thomas Nast, the famous car toonist. Q Please give the origin of the term four hundred as applied to so ciety.

It will be wonderful when the grass grows In my meadow." "Are you tired" Sweet Face?" asked Ho ney Bear. A little." bleat Sri Mia I m Vi ,.wi, "Oh vnii nrwr dear lamb, TS growled Honey S Bear kindly. "You should rest. 'Vi At "Why don't vou go up to our cave and lak a nap? You will -find it cool and plea- nt. "Baa, baa. baa, that is very kind of you." said Sweet Face, "I do believe I'll do that." So the other Puddle Muddlers started off to work in their vege table gardpn. Can't I help you?" B.kPd Sweet Face, In a voice so sweet but so weary that they hadn't the heart to ask the lamb to work. "We'll get along all right." said Willy Willy. Oh. but I want to help," said 3?J Sweet Face. "We know you do." said Willy Nilly, looking affectionately at the lamb, "but you're tired now and we're not." "Well ir you Insist," bleated the lamb, and went up to the cool cave. "He's so ready to help." cackled Top Notch. Christopher flew up to his tree so hp could have a good crow laugh. Sweet Fhcp was on his way to the cave. There were some old leave there for a bed and the cave was crrtHinly lovely and cool. But hp had not been there for long when he heard atraugp voices. Two men with ranged clothes were talking. ' We might make that rave our home for a while." said one. Tomorrow "The Tramp" , single word since he left. As a matter of fact, he hadn't Intended to start until tomorrow, but Wilmer Jones had taken a sudden turn for the better and was out of danger. But he was in a bad mood. News of his arrival had got through and there had been quite a crowd at Croydon, although it was nearly dark, and the newspaper men had rattled him no end. He was not cut out for a hero. and they tried to make him one. He didn't deserve all this kudos. Wilmer Jones had just as much right to it. Only, poor James was ill in Marseilles. And being sensi tive as a woman in some ways, which nobody guessed, and hating himself for it, he was in a very nasty temper. "So you are Gladys!" he said. with his surprising smile, like a bright light behind his eyes. But it was an absent recognition. (To Be Continued) Questions her annual ball to 400 persons as that was as many as her ballroom would accommodate. McAllister was heard to remark afterward that there were really only 400 people living in New York who had any claim to be called society.

In the summer of 1833 an erup tion occurred on the small volcanic Island of Krakatoa in the Sunda Strait, whose effect were far- reaching. The finer particles of the volcanic dust attaining the higher layers of the atmosphere were dif fused over a large part of the sur face of the earth. Within the tropics they were borne along by air cur rents at a rate of 73 miles an hour from east to west until within a period of six weeks they were dif fused over nearly the wnc a,.. :v between latitudes 30 north and 45 south. Eventually they spread north ward and southward and were car ried over North and South America, Europe, Asia, South Africa and Aus tralia. It was reported at the time that ashes fell on the decks of ves sels at sea many miles distant trom the source of the eruption. Q. Was the AAA program of much benefit to the wheat growers? S.M. A.

They say he has repelled the new deal army intent on Increasing fed eral domination over hanking. The stout-hearted Virginian him self encouraged that deduction when he looked up from the final draft of the new bank bill with a grin as big as a length-wise slice of canta loupe, ejaculating: "Am I pleased 1" No one noticed that his adversary, House Chairman Steagall, who was standing around to see that Glass did not claim too much, said noth ing. Nor was any particular at ten tion given to the fact that the gen eral of the routed army (chairman Ecclcs of federal reserve) also ex pressed his pleasure. Suspicious souls, however, will agree that, if both Ecclcs and Glass are pleased, one of tnem Is being misled. If you look Into It, you will glean more than a suspicion that it probably is Glass. Delusion For instance, the big gest dispute centered n the question of controlling credit inflation (open market operations). Ecclea wanted sole power within the board under his own thumb. Glass wanted con trol spread to a committee of seven board members and five reserve bank presidents. Glass won. But the subtle catch hi it Is that President Roosevelt will select the seven board members. Furthermore, through them he will have a veto power over the selection of the five reserve bank presidents, and, In fact, all reserve bank presidents. If he cannot select a board he can con trol. It will certainly be his own fault. What Senator Glass appears to have done is to make It annoying but not difficult for the president to do so. Remote Control You can see the same point better if you look behind the new provision kicking Treasury Secretary Morgenthau off the board, The purpose of this was to main tain an Illusion that the board Is not susceptible to treasury influ ence. As a matter of practical fact, the board chairman is to be Mr. Mor- genthau's protege, Governor Ecclcs. If Mr. Morgenthau cannot work through Mr. Eccles aid the presi dent to influence the board a much as he ever did as an ex-officlo mem ber, it will be because there is some thing rong with Mr. Morgenthau. Butter To make the delusion complete, consider also the provision requiring that all open market op erations hereafter be conducted in the open market. This provision is supposed to prevent the treasury from dictating to ths federal reserve banks as far as buying government bonds is concerned. In practice, every Insider knows the treasury has always dictated to the banks and always will. The bankers' bread is buttered on the treasury side, and all the bankers know It. No law can change that. The new law therefore may be ex pected to operate In much the same sense as prohibition. Politics will be prohibited, but no one will know It. If anyone Is preparing to cheer about the new dealers being blocked in trying to extend their control ov er banking under this bill, he should hold his breath until about next Fe bruary.

Suggestion The democratic lead ers have been exerting strong inner pressure on Mr. Roosevelt to make hiin change his mind about the "death sentence" proision of the holding company bill. One sent him the other day a copy ol the house roll call showing how many good de mocrats had voted against him. Some of the names were undescored. They were those of his most loyal followers. The delicate suggestion was ad vanced at the Sunday night confer ence at the White House. You may have noticed that only the nominal congressional leaders (conservatives all) were culled to that gathering. Crowd There were so many lax experts at the first meeting of the house and senate conferees thai the conference had to be adjourned to a larger room. In fact, there were more experts present than congress men. Apparently the legislators feci that the bill needs expert attention.

Name Pantry Patter jK By R O E Liver must be carefully cooked to keep It tender, and when fried It must be cooked quickly. Have slices cut a scant half Inch thick, scald them by rinsing with boiling water, then drain and sprinkle with salt, pepper and flour. Fry bacon in a heavy frying pan, remove it to a hot platter, then put the slices of pre pared liver In the hot bacon fat, cov er the pan and cook ttic meat quickly for two or three minutes. Turn the slices, recover and continue cooking for three or four minutes longer. Re duce the heat sharply or turn out the gas flame and let the liver cook for three minutes longer. If the pan is covered you will save yourself burns from the splattering fat, and f at the same time the steam gener ated keeps the liver moist and tender. When using spices In a cake mixture sift thorn with the flour to blend them thoroughly with the other Ingredients. If added directly to the liquid mixture or stirred Into the batter they are likely to lump. Boil young summer .squash for ten minutes in just enough salted water to keep it from burning. Drain, mash, season with salt, pepper and butter and add. to 2 cups squash, 2 well beaten eggs and 1-i cup milk. Pour into a greased baking dish, sprinkle with a little grated cheese and bake in a moderate over for 20 to 25 min utes. Serve as the main course for a summer luncheon. Shortening Is butter, lard, margar ine oil or any kind of fat used In cooking. Use a good brand of leaf lard, vegetable fat, butter or mar- . garlne. or part butter and part of i any of these for bread, rolls, pastry ' or biscuits. Use butter or margarine in cakes except ginger bread or spice cakes, when any of the other short enings may be used. Don't forget that a badly kept lav atory or bathroom Is a danger to everyone In any home. It should once a week be washed with water, to which a disinfectant has been added. Disinfectant should occasionally be poured down the pipes. Address
