To most of us a trip to Europe is Bometbing of an event. Not go with the average New Yorker, nor to William van Hoogstraten, conductor of the Portland Philharmonic orchestra. Mr. van H. sailed on the Aquitania yesterday for a visit with his daughter in Holland and a motor trip through Italy, Germany and Switzerland. To him a trip to Europe is no more of an event, than taking Rosey'g "cannonball" from Medford to Portland, to see a foot ball game, or something. Night before last four members of the Medford delegation took a t ip up to darkest Harlem. We visited Father Divine's church, but found it closed and a group of "angels" engaged in removing the furniture and fixtures. All has not been ambrosia and nectar in Father Divine's "heaven" of late. There have been such vulgar and mundane notes of discord in the celestial harmony, as damage suits, indictments, and receiver ships. We couldn't find out where "heaven" is to be moved, but we surmise out of New York's legal jurisdiction, somewhere. esse Tt was a hot night, and Harlem's "Broadway" was crowded, from steps to curb, with a slow moving mass of dusky human ity, nil shades, all pizes, all ages out for a breath of air. The watermelon dealers were enjoying a brisk trade, as were the stands offering ice cream, at two-bits a pint. The ladies of the party adored the scantily clad little pickanninies. We didn't believe that on such a night there would be much to see at the Savoy "400" club, but decided to take a chance. see Admission was 50 cents, dancing on the second floor, the hat check stand in the basement. There were show cases en route, exhibiting men's dress suits and ladies' dancing frocks, for rent, but as far as we observed no customers. Wc decided to conserve what energy we had, and passing up the hnt check gnl in the basement, proceeded at once to the ball room. The hour was about ten-thirty, and the temperature, as indicated, hot enough to melt a celluloid collar. But the "swing" band was in action and there were 20 or 30 couples on the huge floor, executing various interpretations of the 'fliindy hop." A majority were colored, but there were half a dozen pure whites, while the spectators were practically all from down town, at groups around the tables, sipping cool drinks, and apparently enjoying the spectacle. We took a table at the end of the hall and ordered beer, one of the lady members of the party, immediately ente.-ing the spirit of the occasion asking for "DARK beer." But no dark beer was to be had, so she had to be content with pale amber. The Lindy hop is well named we don't believe Iiindbergh himself could execute an aerial maneuver, that wasn't dupli cated on that floor, before we departed shortly after midnisht. As the evening progressed the and larger, the dancing more and more spirited and bizarre, and one swing band was replaced by another, aud now and then, both bands banged and blared and gyrated together. e . . We left with a greater respect for the colored race, than we had before. There was nothing offensive, or even rowdy about the dancing that was put on by the colored girls and boys. It wag violent, that's all. Just how they could go on and on in that atmosphere without collapsing, is a mystery, but they did. And not all of them were young either. Certainly the Harlem black belt has plenty of physical stamina. None on that floor could be training on cigarets and ginl And how they enjoyed themselves, how impersonally and completely they gave themselves up to the dance. When that music started well they just couldn't keep still. That was the spirit of the plaoe as far as the assembled Africans were concerned. (We couldn't say as much of the few Caucasians, who danced cheek by jowl, and made feeble attempts at some thing more primitive from time to time.) Some of the members of our party were shocked to see colored men dancing with white girls and vice versa. There was soma of this, but not much. A couple which appeared to draw no color line occupied the box next to us. The girl was black as the ace of spades, the niBn far lighter than the average life guard on any nearby beach. Moreover he was slender, had delicate features, a high forehead and sensitive, intelligent face. But his hair was kinky, he greeted other colored man familiarly, and merely demonstrated that one drop of colored blood, is ENOVQH. There were many similar examples both sexes, there being all shades of color, amber-ivory to eoal black; and features ranging from the pure negroid, to the Grecian type. As a whole, the blacks wore in one group, the whites in another. And the blacks, MY ess But they all had a fine time. And if we may say so, rather an innocent light-hearted time, the joy of life, and music and rhythm in it. One felt they were in their natural element, expressing themselves, in harmony with the traditions of their race. Barbaric yes, but not decadent. They were not devotees of Bacchus, or Aphrodite, but the pagan god Pan, joining in the great dance of LIFE 1 Yes there wag the Lindy hop, the rhumba. the Congo Cuddle, and variations and improvisations too numerous to mention. If we HAD to describe the spectacle as a whole we would call for a rooster. We would then cut off his head, and throw him on a huge dance floor, dimly lighted, with colors of red. and copper, all about, and then let nature take its course. As the headless rioster hopped about, the right leg would break, and revolve about madly as if on a swivel joint, then the left leg would break and the same performance would be repeated, and all would be in perfect time with the tom-tom music. And the rooster wouldn't stop until the music did; and the rooster would never fail to arise and start to jerk about when the music started. This would be a solo performance it is true, but it should he emphasized that, these dusky couples performed in perfect unison, like a couple of acrobatic puppets on one stick. That may not be a rff'- simile, but it is as near as we can come to describing the general visual impression created, by spending two or three hours in the Harlem Savov night club. a In front of the library at the comer of Fifth Avenue and t'.'nd street, saw a street vendor with quite a crowd nbniit him. Edned to the inner circle and discovered he was selling toy Scott.ies, which he wound up and placing on the sidewalk they proceeded to wag their tails, jerk about, and elp. Terribly cute, and the young man was selling them, almost as fast as he could pass them out twenty.five cents each. A yoiinu woman, nicely dressed with a sporty looking Sealyham on a leash, came up, and the crowd got a big laugh when Sealyhum proceeded to nose one of the toys, and whine, in an ingratiatine ' fashion. We houi:ht one of course, and to the delight of crowd ed Fifth Avenue, proceeded to try it out in an open space, near the corner fence. The tail wagged OK, the head bobbed but there was no yelp. Sn we returned and complained to the street vendor, informing him we had purchased an imperfect specimen. "Oh no" said he, "yon have to make the noise yourself, and he banded out a whistle, which he proceeded to place between his teeth. "You can have your money back if you want " he added. No we didn't want our money back, the toya continued to sell like hotcakes we stuck around a while to see some other people gyped even- sinele toy demonstrated appeared to yelp. Rut whistles apparently were only given to those who came back. Well it was worth two-bits. Ho Hum THAT'S .- York ! R. W. R.

In the effort to put on weight, also a great deal of greens. Or would you blame It all on glands? (Miss J. O.) Answer. Growth In stature may continue until the age of 36 years, though after 18 or 19 the average In crease In height la usually less than an Inch. Measurements of college women recorded for many years In dicate that girls today are an Inch or two taller than the average height of girls 20 or 30 years ago. Whether the explanation of this Increased stature is a question of nutrition or ductless gland function or climate or heredity. Is conjectural.

Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS. PORTLAND haa a labor dispute In lis lumber Industry. It Isn't tne old-fashioned kind, between employer and employee. It follows the sew fashion, which has sprung up since the Wsgner labor relations act be came a law. The row 1a between the AFL and the CIO I rival labor organizations), with the employers looking on aa helpless bystanders. THE national labor relations board, operating under the Wagner labor relations act, offered It "assistance' in settling the dispute. It received this answer from Abe Mulr, vice president of the AFL carpenters in ternational union: "The Brotherhood (of carpen ters) has had two cases before the regional (labor relations) board, at Onalaska and at Omsk, and In two years the board has yet to show It has offered labor any relief, "Compared to the no-beneftta the board has given labor It has given the employers also noth ing but embarrassment. We dont want ANYTHINO TO DO WITH IT. We will straighten out our own affairs." THE Wagner labor relations act has been in operation somewhat over two years, it has never had the confidence of employers, for it has been partlsanly anti-employer from the beginning. We now have the word of Abe Mulr for It that the national labor relations (Wsgner act) board has lost the confidence of a considerable element of labor. IN these two years of operation under the Wagner act, the labor situation hss gone from bad to worse, it has now reached the point where no employer knows at any moment whether he will be per mitted to operate for more than a week and where no WORKER knows whether he will HAVE A JOB more than a week. The result Is fear of the future on the part of both employers end workers. Fear of the future l an other term for lack of confidence. Lack of confidence has always been the predecessor of hard times. THE opinion Is growing that the Wagner labor relations act has made a mess of Industry. But, in stead of profiting by the mistakes that have been made, we seem to be getting resdy to step on into NEW AND MORE DRASTIC regulation oi labor and Industry by means of the Black-Connery wages and hours bin which will give to another govern ment board more power over the Uvea and fortunes of both workers and employers than any set of men ever had In this country before. This writer can't escape the con viction that we would do better to go SLOWER in that direction, rather than faster.
