Tell me, honey, Is It love?
What makes the birds sing sweeter

Why do I forget the past and Its

To think of the future, bright and

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

Tell me, honey, Is It love?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Also Hawthorne. And there's the
sweeping signature of Q. K. Cheater-

On one page Theodore Roosevelt

ned a panegyric to the Big Stick

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

Jack London loathed puna espec

come out of the ether following i

"Well, that is the first time I have
ever been Inside London." And the
writer never quite forgave him.
