Hannah, president of the Inter national Baby Chick association, said at the group'a 17th annual conven tion held here.

Every house on the pleasant street seemed bright, assured and hopeful. The business of liv ing earnest. They are all alike, these su burban cottages. Yet so tactfully arranged like monocnromed candiea in a box, they give air of variety Every garage houses a partially pur chased car. Precise brick walks, neat ly clipped hedges, scrubbed steps. AH glowing with proud but discreet pros. perlty. Mostly it's a regimented existence At 7:30 a. m. doors open, gates click, men peck their wives and race swift ly for the over-passengered 8:05's. A few watch their men take off suspic iously, but the majority, romantically, When dusk gathers, they come march ing home again In waves. Light beam in windows and heads peep anxiously through curtains, Chiefly behind the doors of the box like homes are dramas of content ment. But now and then the flash of tragedy with the grim query: "John, who is Madge? A letter fell out of your blue coat this morning . . .r And the anguished mother from the doorstep twisting the corner of her kitchen apron smiles through the mist! She feels a mite throaty to see him doing anything quite alone, hla extreme babylshness accentuated by his absurd pretense at maturity. Watching his swaggering little back disappear around the first corner she feels hurt to think that In a very rew years he will be able to do without her. He has begun to stand alone.

(Copyright, 1S34, McNaught Syndi cate, Inc.) 4 By FRANK JENKINS THE hour la noon. The day Is Wednesday, August IS. The place la the banquet room of a prominent Southern Oregon hotel. The occasion la the campaign Tie It of Oeneral Charles H. Martin, Demo cratic candidate for governor, to the Southern Oregon country. GENERAL MARTIN, ruddy-faced, white-haired, with clipped white mustache, sits at the head table, flanked by campaign assistants, local Democratic leaders and prominent cit izens. Mrs. Martin sits beside him, smil ing, attractive and perfectly at ease looking, the ladles in the audience agree, quite as a governor's wife should look. THE large room la filled almost to capacity, with the tables set closely, In order to make as much room as possible. It Is a well-dressed, comfortable, well-to-do audience aa well-being goes In these fag end of the depres sion days. The men, undoubtedly, are carrying a heavy burden of re sponslblllty, and their business wor ries are numerous aid acute. The women know what curtailment of household expenses means. But no one In the audience 1 wor ried about where his next meal Is to come from, and no one misses so small a sum as the fifty cent the luncheon cost. HHHE meal Is served, deftly and effl- 1 clently no clattering of dishes and no confusion. There Is pleasant chat, but no loud talking. Glances of curiosity are cast, naturally enough, at General and Mrs. Martin, who are distinguished guests, but they are well-bred glances there Is no curious staring. It Is a wholly pleasant affair. B, O. Lipscombe. of Portland, member of the campaign party, speaks briefly but glowingly of the reception accorded the general the present tour. The chairman of the Democratic county central committee Introduces General Martin as "the next governor of Oregon. The audience, rising spontaneously In a cordial gesture of greeting, ap plauds enthusiastically. THE applause Is genuine. There can be no doubting that. If the election were to be decided exclu sively by people such as the pleas ant, well-bred people In attendance, Oeneral Martin would be the next governor of Oregon. THE general rises, smiles, speaks briefly briefly because his time on this tour Is limited and he la al ready behind his schedule. He praises the Roosevelt adminis tration, and points out that under this administration Oregon has re ceived more from the national gov ernment, probably, than In all the previous yeara lines rt became a state. The new deal, he says, Is bringing back prosperity, In spite of all Its crtlcs may say, and In spite of se vere handicaps such aa drought and strikes. E SQUARES hla shoulders and says; "In thla campaign, I'm my own man, I'm taking nobody's orders. I'm making no promises. If I'm elected governor, I'll be governor of Oregon In my own right. He means It. The audience rec ognizes his sincerity, and applauds again. Its Impression of the speaker Is favorable. THE luncheon begins a few mln Utea after 13. and bv 1 It ! over a brief, businesslike affair for busy people. General Martin takes his place by the door, and as the audience files out he shakes each person by the hand and extends a pleasant word of greeting. There are little Informal gatherings In the lobby for com ment and appraisal, and the party breaks up.

OWNER OF FOUR -YEAR-OLD CAR TELLS OF A NEW THRILL IN MOTORING c fi umy EM wBiiemi H dnv tfUn IFcoi'dl V-SB 99 "I'd been driving my car for nearly four years and I had put more than 75,000 miles on it. Then things got a little better with me and I figured I could afford a new car. 'Let's look over the Ford V-8,' I said to my wife. "So we took it out on the road and gave it a good, stiff work-out. Tried it in traffic, on hills, and the roughest roads we could find. Put it to every test I knew. Even went so far as to drain the tank and see how many miles it would go on a gallon of gasoline. "I want to tell you I had the biggest surprise of my life. I knew the Ford V-8 was better than my former car, but I hadn't any idea it was so much better. "The Ford name Is on It and it has the same reli ability and economy that you always expect in a Ford. But what a difference that V- 8 engine makes! '. It's so smooth and powerful that you just glide along. After you drive a V-8 you just can't be satis fied with anything leas. "My wife was In the back seat and she said It was the quietest, most restful ride she'd ever had. And was she delighted with the finish of the carl Before we got home she'd decided, on that green body with cream wheels and mohair upholstery. And then could hardly wait until she could show it off to her friends. "I'll tell you frankly we've had more real fun driving this Ford V-8 than any other car we've ever owned and we've had a good many makes in the last fifteen years. "As for economy I'm finding that this Ford V-8 costs less to run than a four-cylinder car. No guess ing about that, either, because I'm one of those bookkeeping fellows who keeps a careful record. Henry Ford was right when he said the V-8 is the most economical Ford car ever built." Vsawa aa Xatf . VaVat JM OtAr T fcr 12500 Win V-8 imfr nc'iMW 112-inch Mhselbosa.
