S. He says the annual cost of the nation’s crime is $15,000,- 000,000. That amounts to $41,040,000 a day. The cost of the Bonneville Dam has been put at $74,000,000. The cost of crime for two days in our country would more than build a dam like it. This would mean the equal of $10 a month from each individual of the na tion. The crime wave engulfs 35 American lives in violent blood each day. All this in what we call enlightened Amer ica! It makes us sad. It stirs our minds to seek the cause for it all and how to apply a remedy. FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1938. RIVAL CANDIDATES TO SLING I t.on’s 214 road fatalities ast year.

Among the waiters themselves on that day, will be three particularly handsome waiters, who in public life are three active candidates for the office of County Assessor. They are Ernest Monroe, Leon Bentley and George Knox. MORE MOTORISTS Highway travel in Oregon jumped 17.5 per cent during January ai.d February this year, according to Secretary of State Earl Snell. This increase in traffic makes the simul taneous drop of 35 per cent in high way deaths all the more remarkable, Snell declared. W E HAD IT, TOO If one thinks he might be smitten with small pox, he can be vaccinated: if there’s danger of typhoid he gets inoculated: if it's a serious stomach aihnent, a man takes a pinch of soda and postpones treatment till day after tomorrow: if the heart overworks, the patient takes an afternoon nap, retires early that night, and is off to over-exert again the next day: but if it’s flu—he stops every thing right now—or else! ! ! Old and young, rich and poor, the saintly souls and the sorrowful sinners, the farmers in the orchard, the man on the street, the clerk in the store, the housewife at the dishpan— in all walks of life, they have been laid low for a few days or a few weeks with the dread germ that makes one "feel rotten all over.” Yes, our reportorial staff knows how the pesky stuff goes. He pecked out a few feverish phrases last week, then took himself to bed to be initiated into the "I’ve Had the Flu” league, only to drag his weary bones and clammy flesh down to the office to begin on Volume II, Issue 32 with the zest of a Napol eonic soldier returning from Moscow. But the flu comes every now and then and it seems we must regard it like the weather, the recession, the apple market, or the spread of Nazi-ism — there’s not much we can do about it. ______________ f In Ireland, pedestrians were held directly responsible for 47 of the n.a- M^rchbank,s on Second Street, Hood Rivef- Cigarettes — Tobacco — Ci^flrs "WHAT A PIECE OF WORK—" It was Shakespeare’s famous character, Hamlet, who, just like a rooster flapping to the top rail of the fence, let out this crowning sentiment: “What a piece of work is man! How infinite in faculty! In form and moving, how express and admirable! In action how like an angel!” All too often the American has been prone to place himself in this grand, eloquent posi tion. We hear it often—America leads the world. Yes, we lead it in crime. “What a piece of work is man!” Yes, there’s the kidnapper, stealing a little child out of a home. There you see him, with his devil hands at the throat of the child and at last throwing out the body in the brush of the roadside. “What a piece of work is man!” There’s the goon squad with bludgeon and fire and dynamite— doing the devil’s work. There are our great penitentiaries crowded to the doors with those When the alarm sounds off at 6 a. m. these who are there because they simply led the life winter morning, how easy it is to reason that of preying on their fellow men. another hour of sleep would benefit one’s J. Edgar Hoover, who knows as much about health. ♦ / Pool — Billiards Cascade Locks F.-T. A.: Meets in the evening of the second Wednesday of the month.
