Why do I forget the past and Its wrongs To think of the future, bright and clear? Tell me, honey, Is It love? Why do X long for you each night Out 'neath the happy lover's moon? And gsxe alone at the peaceful eight And breathe 4 lonely lover'a tune? Honey, tell me. Is It love? Why am I happy when you're near And sad and dreamy when you're gone? Why Is each thought of you so dear? , Why does this waiting seem so long? Tell me, honey, Is It love? Almond St. I. F. I Not in Generations HEBE is an honor rolli Portland, Salem, Silverton, in the Willamette basin. Medford and Grants Pass in the Rogue Eiver valley. Roseburg in the Umpqua valley. Baker and Burns in eastern Oregon. These are the communities that have moved definitely for sewage disposal. s Among them Salem would install a waterworks system to bring mountain water to the state capital and discontinue the questionable Willamette as a source of supply. There are 60 Willamette basin communities that must under take sewage disposal if pollution of the river is to be ended. There are many industries that must stop discharging into the stream mill waste, chemicals and materials that consume the oxygen necessary in the water to sustain the life of game fish. All are heartened by the action of Portland in voting $6,000,000 in sewage disposal bonds. All are encouraged by what Salem and Silverton have done. t In the meantime, the federal public works administration is swinging into line. Organization is being perfected. Prompt, aggressive action and well planned responsibility will better assure satisfactory loanB from the public works fund than negligent or delayed procedure. There will not in this generation or for many generations to come, be such an opportunity to end stream pollution. There will, particularly, not be such another opportunity to build sewage disposal plants without expense to the general taxpayer, but with loans from the federal government, 30 per cent, of which will be outright grant and the remainder to be retired, not from taxes, but from nominal service charges. Oregon Journal. The Week's Racket PERHAPS the most despicable petty racket of them all is the sale of Bibles to the dead I Tea, it's done, and it's highly profitable I The racketee who works the scheme subscribes to newspapers published in the larger cities of the country, and clips the death notices. Then he sends, collect by express, a Bible to the deceased ; in some, oases with bis name imprinted in gold on the cover. The Bible generally is a cheap edition, but the c.o.d. price is set at four or five times its value. A letter also is addressed to the deceased which states: "The Bible which you ordered from us has been delayed in shipment, but it is ready now and has been sent to you by express colleot. You will receive it in a day or two, and we sincerely hope it will bring you comfort and enjoyment." Naturally, when the c.o.d. package arrives the relative who recoives it believes that the deceased placed the order and pays the charges. Other mer chandise is sometimes used by the slickers who work this racket, but they have found that the sentiment attached to a Bible is a better medium for defrauding the relatives. Some of them send the package without a letter, thereby avoiding the danger of using the mails to defraud. The relatives generally will not make complaint, under the oiroumstances, even though they realize that thoy have been victimized. One of the largest oper ators in this racket came to grief reoently when he sent the usual letter and Bible to the address of a woman who had been a hopeless invalid for years before she died. The relatives realized that she could not possibly have ordered the book and immediately complained to the Better Business Bureau. An investigation followed that resulted in a postal fraud order being issued against the promoter. There is no scheme so mean or oontemptible that the easy money boys will not try, if they think thoy can make a return without working for it, Robt. M. Mount, in Portland Spectator.

Cat, ALCOHOLIC PHTLOSOPnY It has been determined by a great many precise scientific measurements that ther Is an Interval of one-fifth not pasteurized, for children. Isn't that the loose milk? I give my chil dren 's grade A pasteurised bot tled milk. Would raw milk be better for them? Mrs. S. S. A. Answer Yes. If you can afford to give them certified milk, or 4 less expensive milk which Is approved by your own physician or by the local health department. Cheese Is Cheese, You had a statement In the paper advising plenty of fresh raw milk and plenty of cheese for the arthritis palent. Does this mean cottage cheese? Mrs. J. a, B. Answer As you like. There Is no cheese better In any respect than cottage cheese, ss far as I know. (Copyright, 1933, John P. Dllle Co.)

In the evening the flowers will be sold to defray expenses. A helf-lnch rainbow trout with two head was discovered at the Ta boa. Cel., fish hatchery. of a second be' tween the Instant n impression Is received on the retina and the response or re action of volun tary muaolea. This 1 the mean reaction time of normal persons. An automobtls moving st the rate of 90 miles an hour travels 44 feet In 4 sec ond or 8 88 feet In each fifth of a second. Now the physiologists hsve found that 4 drink or two of beer or wine or 4 finger or two of brandy or whisky or gin slows the reaction time to as much as three or four fifths of 4 second, end the effect of the drink or two Is manifest for hours after the alcohol Is taken. , In that extra two or three fifths of second 4 car driven at 80 miles sn hour will travel say 30 feet. What 4 lot of grief can happen In 30 feetl All this Is eetsbuehed scientific fact. It rs not 4 debatable tlwory or conjecture. But give an exponent of personal liberty a bottle of some thing and listen to him debaVlng toe subject with the doctors: "Oh. yeah? How lame Is the glass of wine or beer the dumb driver took? Whst wss the al coholic content? How old Is the driver? Did he lmolbe before or after food? And how did you time the two 07 three filths of a second lag? And how do you know tin accident was not ac celerated? Your statement was manifestly generalised, written for moronic readers. Viuslly you are specific and Interesting, but heie you apparently slipped." That Is typical alcoholic philosophy. The item thst aroused our bibulous friend was 4 report of the scientific obtervstlon of the effect of 4 glsss of beer or wine or 4 small drink ol whisky. Because the slightly Intoxi cated correspondent is not familiar with Instrument of precision he bletantly doubts that one can meas ure fifth of 4 second. If he were quit sober he would perhaps reserve Judgment or 4t least more shrewdly conceal his ignorance. Everyone knowa that 4 drink of liquor gives "Dutdh courages." A drink of beer or wine hss the ssme effect, only thst It Is not so sppar ent to the casual observer. What else Is the "breaking of the loe" with wine or liquor but the be numbing of the higher consciousness, letting down or heslthy modesty snd reserve, freeing the guard a sensible person keeps on his language and be havior, and a letting go" regardless? The present tests tor drunkenness are neither practical nor recognised by the courts. We need some simple practical test whereby anyone, even 4 polio court clerk, may determine at onos whether 4 person Is under the effects of alcohol, whether we pleas to call It Intoxication or not. Some Inventor might well apply this physiological principle to the mak ing of an Instrument for the pur pose. Alcohol retards th reaction time the time thst elspees from the Instant an Impression Is received on the retina to the Instant the mus cles of hsnd or foot respond to the signal or stimulus from the one-fifth of 4 second, which Is normal, to three-fifths or four-fifths of 4 ond.

Mclntyre NEW YORK, Aug. 3, Few blog- raphles would furnlah aucta lntlmac lea around the parlor lamp aa Carolyn Wells' gueatbook. Such a valuable contribution ta It considered to art and lettera of two generation It waa especially bound under di rection of Belle Oreen of the Morgan Library. It waa started by MLsa Wells 30 yeara ago and the first signer waa Rudyard Kipling with an Informal llttie verse. Walt Whitman, too, contributed a triolet. Also Hawthorne. And there's the sweeping signature of Q. K. Cheater- ton along with the cramped, shy hand of Lewis Carroll. On one page Theodore Roosevelt during the trust busting days pen ned a panegyric to the Big Stick and underneath It the poetical Rich ard Le Galllenne whimsically mused: I wish I could write nonsense like that." There are sketches by Whist ler, Harrison Planer. Flagg and Chrlaty. Oscar Wilde dashed off a mot and Jack London caricatures himself In his flowing black tie.. King Edward and King Alfonso are represented and Clemenceau, . Lloyd George and Lafcadlo Hearn. The books would bring 'a fortune If offered to collec tor but has been willed to Mlsa Wells' niece. Incidentally, Carolyn Wells a few months ago wrote an article about herself called "Two Yeara to Live," In a magazine. That waa the period diagnosticians alloted her on thla sphere of activity. Yet since the piece appeared her health vastly im proved, so much ao the physician who called dally now drops In once a week. Jack London loathed puna espec ially about his name. After he had come out of the ether following i major operation the cherubic surg eon, rubbing his hands, beamed "Well, that is the first time I have ever been Inside London." And the writer never quite forgave him. Someone tells me the most revered graduate among students at Vasaar Is Edna St. Vincent MUlay. One of her chief charms seems to be her studied Indifference to the world's acclaim. Aa Mrs. Eugen Bolssevaln she lives a cloistered existence on a farm at AsterllU, N. Y. Her hus band, who also was wedded to the late Inea MuUholland, another Vas aar alumnus, does all the managing of the farm while Mlsa MUlay com poses her verse.
