GET SET KO It TOURISTS
This year should be a banner season for tourists in the
Pacific northwest. Portland will be host to the American
Legion convention and more than 75.000 are expected to
attend. Los Angeles will be the scene of the Olympic games.
Nearly all the large cities on the coast will be the scene of
at least one national convention of some large lodge, ser
vice club or civic organization.
Even last year, with depressed times, the tourist regis
tration in Oregon equalled the previous season. With the
added stimulus of these large conventions and improve
ment in business conditions there are grounds to predict
a banner tourist season.
Here in Lane county, the McKenzie highway will be
completed and oiled early this spring, as will also be the
Willamette road to Oakridge. Civic organizations should be
gin now to make plans to stop and entertain for a few days
in our mountains thousands of these travelers. If handled
right, the tourist crop can be made Oregon’s chief industry
this year.

NATURE HAS BEEN KIND TO FARMERS
This has been an ideal winter for the Lane county
farmer. Plenty of moisture has fallen and there is a large
reservoir of snow in the Cascades. The winter, despite the
rainfall, has been open and mild in the low lands and plow
ing has progressed rapidly. Fall grains look good and the
soil is in fine shape for spring planting. If a few more bright
spots develop in the market the Lane county farmer, espe
cially on diversified farms, may plant with hope, at least
that he may be coming into his own.

WAITIN' FOR THE CALL
A1 Smith’s big brown derby is poised on the edge of the
ring waiting to be nudged in by some enthusiastic democrat,
probably with moist fingers. Al doesn’t "choose to run" but
he will accept the nomination in a walk if the rank and file
of the party demand it. Al says that he is the nominal head
of the party but doesn’t want to nominate—may the best
man be nominated. Who the best man is in Al's opinion
would not be hard to guess.

Sometimes there isn't much difference between a hero
and a criminal—just a few minutes. A Portland motorist
was given a show ticket for being a model driver. He parked
his car and attended the show to return and find that he
was tagged for overtime parking.

The Japanese trade relations in China are beginning to
look more like a racket than legitimate commerce. But even
if they are successful in their operations it looks like the
Chinese boycott will become stronger and stronger as the
Japs advance.

Portland had her whale but the land sharks got him.
She had also her elephant, Tusko. but an Eugene real estate
dealer bought him. Now it is up to the big city to produce
something else for publicity purposes.

MORALITY
In Mary Roberts R i n e h a r t ’ s autobiography, “My
Story,” occurs this reference to petticoats:
’’They had to be made, two or three, very fu ll. . . . and
generally a short flannel one to the knees . . . .
“Not long ago a young girl of my acquaintance was go
ing through an old trunk of her mother’s and came across
a brief bit of embroidered flannel.
“ ’What on earth is this?’ she demanded.
” 'That? That was my flannel petticoat for my wed
ding.’
“Whereupon the girl burst into shrieks of delighted
laughter. I smiled when I heard the story,'- says Mrs. Rine
hart. “I too have somewhere just such a garment. I scallop
ed and embroidered it myself for my wedding, and I should
have felt a shameless woman without it.”
Julia Ward Howe, when a little girl, grew weary from
a long ride in the family coach, and allowed her knees to
drop apart childwise. Instantly her father reproved her:
‘‘My daughter, if you cannot sit like a lady we will stop
at the next tailors and have ycu measured for a pair of pant
aloons.”
The characteristics which distinguish a "lady” and
comprise her moral code have differed widely in different
generations.
I remember the first girl I ever saw who had cut off her
hair. She worked in my office. The president of the company
called me on the carpet and wanted me to fire the young
lady, which 1 declined to do. To his way of thinking, bobbed
hair was a sure sign of an abandoned woman.
1 recall the first lady whom I ever saw lighting a cigar
ette. All of us who witnessed the perforance were sure that
she was no better than she ought to be.
Only recently 1 ran across an old copy of the “Book of
Rules" issued by a coeducational college a quarter of a cent
ury ago. It consisted of thirty pages of "Thou shalt nots”
and, having prohibited almost everything, it wound up with
this blanket injunction:
“In addition to the foregoing rules, students are ex
pected to refrain from card-playing, dancing and theatre-
attendance, and to observe the other common rules of mor
ality.”
The Old Testament contains many precepts, but in the
book of Micah there is one verse which is a summary of
them all. It reads:
"He hath showed thee. O man, what is good; and what
doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love
mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”
This In the basis of all morality. This is fundamental
and unchanging.
But whether hair or petticoats are long or short Is noth-
to worry about
