Phone 1673 MISS DELASHMUTT MEETS HELEN KELLER Helen Keller, who although deaf and dumb, has been able to get much hap piness from life, probably because she gives happiness to others, while on a visit to Portland last week visited deaf and mute girls employed at the Meier & Frank Company store. Leone Cass Baer tells of the visit to the big de partment store, where MiBS Willmette Oe Lashmutt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. DeLashmutt of this city, is em ployed. The Oregoninn says : Miss Keller had been told that the 12 girls worked in various departments of a big store and she was eager and glad to meet them. As each girl was presented to her Mms Keller talked rapidly bv placing her fingers in the palm of the girl, asking her name, her age, wbat line of work she did and ex pressing fcer own joy at finding other girls who were "fighting the fight," as she put it. With one of the girls, Willmette De Lashmutt, who is amazingly proficient at lip reading, Miss Keller carried on a spirited conversation. She placed her finger tips on Mi.-s le I.ashmutt's lips to read her Words and Miss De Lashmutt in turn read the lips of Miss Keller as she saw the words forming. It was Miss De Lashmutt who pre sented the flowers anil acted as spokes woman for the group. Miss Keller told them about the trip she had taken on the Columbia River Highway and that she was coming back here for the exposition in 1926. With sympathy and understanding she talked into the palms of all the girls, tolling them of her problems and her happiness and asking them all about their work, their homes and their ambitions. The fact that a dozen mutes are in the employ of the Meier & Frank com pany will possibly interest others, to whom the news is a surprise. Two years ago the idea originated with W. E. Kiernan and he took it up with Jul ius L. Meier, who gave it complete sanction. The results have justified their experiment. A deaf and mute girl, accompanied by her mother, had come to see Mr. Kiernan at the store. "Many deaf and mute persons are discouraged and disheartened by the attitude assumed toward them, per haps unconsciously, by many hearing folk," the girl wrote in her conversa tion with Mr. Kiernan. "It has been taken for granted that a mute is in competent to engage in any but a very small number of inexpert occupations, although she may have been specially trained for something else. Have you some sort of place for me in this big store?" She went on to tell a few of her qualifications and Mr. Kiernan took the idea under advisement with Mr. Meier. The result was that he hired her the next day and two days later she brought along another mute girl who in turn was given work. There have been as many as 20 employed at one time in the store. They work in the billing room, folding the bills, in the filing and mail-order department, filing and indexing orders, in the price marking department, in the candy packing rooms, and the fascinating Willmette De Lashmutt, who is the lip-reading expert, is in the auditing department and operates a comptometer and posting machine. Law Requires Net Weight The requirements on packed apples are that each box must contain a state ment of the net weight of the contents irrespective of tier markings or mark ings representing the number of apples in the container. The net weight amendment of the Federal Food and Drugs Act, requires that the net weight must be stamped on the container even if the number of apples is also given. The Bureau of Chemistry of the United States De partment of Agriculture is charged with enforcement of the new weight amendment to the Federal Food and Drugs Act, and they advise that a statement of numerical count alone on the boxes, is not sufficient to satisfy the fundamental purposes of the net weight amendment and that in addi tion to such numerical count, the net weight must also appear. So far as the federal government or this depart ment is concerned, the net weight marking is sufficient, but if the packer desires to place the numerical orj.tier count on the container, he may, of course, do so. New Snow on Mountains Accompanying the intermittent rain fall of the lower levels the past, week deep snows have apparently been fall ing on both Mount Hood and Mount Adams. Both peaks present new splen dor of white in the autumn sunshine that has followed the showers. The deep scar that was left on the southwest base of Mount Adams last spring by an avalanche that swept down the snow slopes for about five miles has been obliterated by the late snow blankets. Thunderstorm Last Thursday Unless some cold weather prevails during the next few days, a record will be set for a warm October this year. The month has I SM warmer than Sep tember, and roses and fall flowers are still blooming luxuriantly here. Last Thursday afternoon a thunderstorm, an unusual phenomenon here, even in summer, prevailed ill the southwestern part of the valley. The rumble of the thunder, and its echoes through the gorges, was heard in the city. The rainfall, however, was light. Error in Valuation Statement An error was made last week in giv ing the assessed valuation of the coun ty. It was declared in a news item that the vaulustion .if 1921 was smaller than that of rn-t y .r. When the pub lic service property it included the 1921 valuation will be about $190,000 greater than a year ago. Card of Thanks We wish to express our sincere thanks to our fn 1 ds and neighbors for their kind aid h.d sympathy at the time of our bereavement attendant on the death of our husband and father.

THE DALLES HAS CHINESE T0NG BATTLE Except that the local police watched the Columbia River Highway last Thursday, a tong war outbreak among The Dalles Chinese the night before caused no flurry here. Participants in the revolver battle in the neighboring city were thought to have left for the west by automobile. The few local Chinamen pursued their usual affairs, making no comment other than to ex press regrets at the violence of their countrymen. Jack Moabus. car repairer of the O. W. R. & N. Co., who witnessed the battle, says that at least 40(1 shots must have been fired. Mr. Moabus, engaged here on bad order curs Thurs day, sleeps in The Dalles tire station. He was aroused by the firing, and says he thought a holdup was in progress. He says that the tiring is thought to have started when a white man shot at a Chinaman. Held in an alley by some of the tongmen, Mr. Moabus watched others of the Chinamen empty and re load their revolvers several times as they fired at policemen. He declares it miraculous that more casualties did not result. The Chinamin, he says, loaded and worked their guns like automatons, indicating that they had been in training for such an episode. He estimates that more than 50 China men participated in the shooting. Frank Heater, chief of police, was shot twice in the course of the out break. One bullet struck the star on his breast, penetrated the metal and entered his breast. The other bullet struck him in the calf of the leg. Neither wound was considered serious. Three Chinamen started the shooting by opening fire on Patrolman Duns more, who was near the railroad sta tion. The authorities did not know whether any Chinamen had been shot or not. The whole police force was called out and roads leading from the city were guarded closely. Bob Saunders, fireman and foot ball star of The Dalles high school, was hit in the thigh by a stray bullet. Foy On, Chinese tongman, sustained a crushed hip. Apple Records Kept By Unique System In the office of Salesmanager P. F. Clark at the Apple Growers Associa tion is a map of the United States. It is dotted with vari colored pinheads. Each dot signifies a brokerage office of the concern. Some of the offices are responsible directly to the home office, while others are subsidiary con cerns of the Association's branch sales offices. As carloads of apples are de livered to the brokerage points, this is designated by rings being placed on the pins. Each variety has a different color. The Association has 162 brokerage offices in the United States. Loop Link to be Done November 10. Contractor Baker, in charge of the six miles of new grade on the Mount Hood Loop Highway in the Oregon National Forest southeast of Parkdale, while here last week, stated that all work on the stretch would be com pleted by November 10, when the crews will break camp for the winter. About six miles of the road in the vicinity of Horsethjef Meadows is be ing slashed, and will be ready for grading crews as soon as the snow clears away next summer. H. R. Defeats Goldendaie The Hood River high school foot ball team played the first mid-Cloumbia Interscholastic League game with Gol dendaie Friday afternoon, defeating the visitors on Gibson field by a score of 33 to 7. Captain Johnson, Greene brothers and Paul Sletton played star ball for the locals. The Hood River team may not play next week end. A game had been scheduled with Colum bia University, of Portland, but was cancelled because the university team is much heavier than the locals. Mrs. Tony Flint's Brother Passes The body of Harry George Nelson, aged 52 and native of Wisconsin, who died here Friday evening at the home of his sister, Mrs. Tony Flint, was shipped by C. C. Anderson to Baker Monday for interment. Mr. Nelson had arrived here from Alberta for a visit three days before the death. The family was in process of moving from Canada to Baker and Mrs. Nelson is now there. Jjst Little Stories Now that the rainy season has ap parently set in in earnest the following will be timely : "But what," asked the coroner, "is the mystery about the dead man's iden tity. Cards and letters were found in the pockets, were they not?" "That's what makes it so confus ing,'' replied the clever detective. The initials were the same as those upon the umbrella he carried."
