Senator Willis would have VV'i'el'ei red to die fighting. Those that know Seeivtary Hoover know that Senator Willis' death will' cause him sincere Krief. f A powerful man. never spar ing himself, Senator Willis for got that there are limits to the heart's endurance. A tired heart often succumhs in the Miost powerful man, wearied ly constant strain. The dead man's widow at tributed the Senator's attack to the fumes of smoky flares that lie had been inhaling constant ly, in the course of a political parade. Weak heart, fighting aiiainst poisoned air, is in danger. The kaiser's men built a big ship. His royal suite had two large staterooms, a sitting room, private sun deck, shut off from the crowd, three bath rooms. Britain grabbed that ship, after the war, and renamed her Majesty. His "Majesty" is in Holland, Henry Ford and his v'vife are on. their way to. Ku "rope, in the royal suite. Doug las Fairbanks and Mary you probably know her last name, Lloyd Oorge and lieverhrooke have used the suite. His ''Kai serliche, Koenigliehe Majaes taet" did not expect those pas sengers. Mr. Ford leaves for a rest. He needs it and deserves it. He tells reporters the new ear is running 1700 a day, and ex pects "it MM) daily this summer. London placed orders for (0.00(1 new Fords in a week and Mr. Ford, who never really rests, will doubtless arrange for several Kuropean factories ii side the tariff walls built to keep out our automobiles. While a detective watches her $4.)0,fMI0 diamond .Miss 1'eggy Joyce tells inquiring cor respondents eager for great news, that her next husband, "must shape up mentally." Counting them every one apart, as in the song about the Kosary, Miss Joyce finds that some of her husbands have not measured up in intellect. After all, a .f toil.000 diamond is not so much unless a brilliant thought goes with it. She is inclined to give the "companionate" idea a trial. You can't judge a husband candidate's mind by the pre liminary suppers. And a girl I? can't be too careful. "Hon t forget." says Miss l'eggy, "the lovely lines Tennyson wrote, 'Thou art mated with a clown, and his lack of brains shajl have strength to drag tln-e down.' No more of that for inc."

It was an open boat, 3fi feet long and is supposed to be a non-sink-able, non-collapsible one. The men were tow on food and gasoline and exposed to the weather. It Is thought by some that it may be drifting towards the Co lumbia river. Hu terrific has been the storm today that a large fishing boat wkh unable to take provisions to the coast guard station this morning. The fishing boat was unable to land at the station because the mouth of the .suislaw is so rough. The station is at the mouth of the river two miles out from Florence. The storm that has been lashing the l.ane county coast the past several days had reached terrific force today. (Hd timers say it Is the worst ever seen here. Ilreak ers were so high that they could be seen from Florence, two miles away. All roast guard stations have been notified of the missing life boat. The failure of the boat to show up has created much anx iety here as all five men were well known. The incident comes as a dramatic anti-climax to the acei dent befalling the Heb-n ster ling the past week-end. the latter being taken in tow. following heroic efforts by all men of thn Siuslaw coast guard station to as sist the schooner in distress.

(A1) A downward revision of the pos tal rates, calling for a restora tion of the 1 Il! 1 charges, was approved today by the house in unanimously passing the CJriest bill.
