L G0ER1 DRESSED TO KILL Berlin, Aug. 21 UP) Herman Wilhelm Goering has done the impossible he's outstripped himself in his new reichmarshal uniform.

(SpU Oregon state society shatters another national capital custom: Here tofore, these state societies end up with a flourishing party come May cr June each spring, and call it a year! But with everybody who is anybody still on hand, the Oregon organiza tion has gone right on having bang-up parties. A few nights ago soma 130 Orerjonfans met around revernl blazing camp fires in our beautiful Rock Creek park ate luscious picnic foods galore, and competed en thusiastically for the prizes awarded cn a western sports program, Including some rlgh. fancy races and horseshoe pitch ing. Not all Oregon senators, con gressmen and officials could break away from national af fairs to be present, but each sent family or confidential sec retary to represent h;m. But a mere 130 picnickers represent r very small proror tlon of C'regonians floating about Washington. It might be inter esting, if possible, to find uul the actual number, who they are, how close a tie binds them to Oregon, how many vote or pay taxes in the home state, et cetera. Of course, most of us here are hyphenated residents: Capita.-Oregonians, Capital-Mi souriar..i. Capital-whatnots; so few are honest-to-goodness na tives of th District of Columbia. Oregon's Mrs. Charles L. Mc Nary Is, however born and reared in Washington, D. C, notwithstanding the fact that re cent news articles list Chicago as her home.

ID sad 26 I T y xvT n a r..vri v-v- e r a -- T ? -v " ttV" ee realiition that ' recreation," these modem times, has become "big" business with a vengeance. It is actually the "one" industry in some of these states and "pow erful" Important in others. While the business of recreation is, of course, nation-wide, the concentration of population in this corner of the. country makes it outstanding. Long abandoned farms have been restored as Inns, camps, youth hostels, glorified "Dude" ranches (Eastern style) or into beautiful country homes of wealthy and important people. Such well known folk as Doro thy Thompson, Sinclair Lewis, Westbrook Pegler, Booth Tark Ington, Alexander Wollcott, Dorothy Canfield Fisher, and many others spend most of their time in such homes. These "na tional" citizens join the local churches and committees and get themselves elected as town "selectmen" (councilmen, to you!) and a township in New England corresponds to a coun ty in the west. They donate lec tures, articles and plays, and often act In the summer play houses. In fact, they become def initely a part of the community and active, local citizens a privilege denied them in hugh cities. e e e I IKEWISE, the charming vil lages dotting the highways buzz busily each night with tourists, domiciled in once re mote, even "snooty", colonial homes. The huge hotels are filled, also, but not with the old time rocking-chair brigades on the wide verandas. The guests now are hoardes of restless, ev er onward moving motorists. All the historic handicraft arts are in full flower beautiful and useful articles are made and sold on the spot in the attractive shops one finds at every cross road. Astonishingly, In the moun tain and lake regions, the deep winter season is just as busy as the merry-making summer months. Not only at some of our most famous winter-sports re sorts, but practically every tiny village or farm with a nearby hill or pond is crowded each winter week end. I am told that my favorite little country inn in Vermont (at the foot of Brom ley Mountain) which boasts that it hath neither telephone nor electric lights, is forced to turn sitting-rooms and curtained off p SECONDS TO PORTLAND'S OTY CENTEH 1 I: Close to Bunneae.

Naturally, all this panting urge for outdoor recreation keeps industrial wheels spin ning all down the line hence 'tis big business. e e MANT Pacific coast crabs caught, cooked on the spot, and shipped in refrigerator cars to New York, Washington and other eastern cities are sold here at practically the local, western retail price 33c each.
