PUTTING THE 'WONDER' IN WONDERLAND
How Our Relief NeedsStand
Good Can Come
From New Croup
THIS newspaper has spoken repeat
edly of the great importance to
Klamath Falls of a heavy tourist visita
tion. The strides we have made in the
past in attracting the tourist trade are
gratifying, but there is far greater op
portunity ahead if we seize it.
Where maximum results have been
obtained in attracting tourists, it has
usually been through the medium of an
organization of communities in a re
gion, which can, by cooperative effort,
do a bigger job of promotion than is
usually possible by a single community.
At Redding Monday, the Shasta-Cas-cade-Wonderland
association, designed
to unite some nine counties in Oregon
and California into such an organiza
tion, will be formed. Jackson, Klamath
and Lake counties in Oregon, and Sis
kiyou. Modoc, Lassen, Tehama, Trinity
and Shasta counties in California, are
included. E. B. Hall of Klamath Falls
is vice-president of the organization,
and some ten public officials and busi
ness men are expected to attend Mon
day's meeting from here.
The purposes of the Shasta -Cascade-Wonderland
association are worthy.
They are:
"TO PROVIDE for a Ions-time matter pro
cram ot tourists development throughout this
region.
"TO MAKE better known to the world the
scenic attraction of this region; to make them
more accessible and to make their occupancy
more comfortable for the lonrist and race
Honfat. "TO DEVELOP a spirit of apnreclation and
.-oo Deration among all organization and ciil
tene ot thia region.
"TO COOPERATE wherwver and whenever
possible with other organizations and agencies
outside this region and coordinate their efforts
to the end that the Shasta-Cascade Wonderful
ma? be better known and render Its full share
ot outdoor enjoyment to the many other oppor
tunities ot the Pacific Coast.
COVERING ALL this should be a special
attempt to conduct the work ot tourist promo
tion in business-like manner that shall yield
good dlTideads to the region."
The Klamath Basin, which possesses
a generous share of the wonderland de
noted in the name of the organization,
does well to take an active part in the
program indicated.
That Football
Score
A POLOGIES are due the Klamath
Union High school. This news
paper yesterday re-printed from a
Med ford paper football scores of the
past season, one of which was 109 to
9. In doing so, the doubt of alumni
that such a score was ever recorded
was reported.
The score was given for 1921. Prin
cipal Paul Jackson reported that the
records available do not go back that
far. But now a staunch alumnus of
Klamath Union High reports he has an
annual for the year mentioned, and
that the score was 19 to 9. Quite a
difference, and apology is due.
Klamath's Claim
for Road Valid
TWO outstanding features of the De
vers unemployment report, sub
mitted to Governor Meter Thursday
night, tend to offset each other.. The
report shows clearly that the problem
is a large one, but it also shows that
there is wide-spread recognition of its
magnitude and a determination to
meet' it
Mr. Devers, who is attorney for the
state highway commission, made a com
prehensive study of the situation, and
his figures may be considered s au
thentic as any could be. He estimates
there, are 20,000 persons out of em
ployment, and that this means there are
60,000 persons who must be cared for
in solving the unemployment problem.
A total payroll of $3,900,000 will be
needed to supply work for the unem
ployed in the five-month winter period.
These figures, at first glance, appear
prodigious. They tell plainly enough
that we face a real problem. But when
we remember that the state highway
commission has determined to spend
between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 on
work to aid unemployment, and that
considerable sums are to come from the
federal government, particularly for
road work, as well as smaller amounts
from various counties and municipali
ties, the situation does not seem so
grave as at first feared. And, as Mr.
Devers reports, there is a vast amount
of work being done in the way of col
lecting foodstuffs and clothing to be
distributed when payrolls run short.
The report by counties shows defi
nitely that Klamath county has a valid
claim for generous consideration in the
allotment of funds for forthcoming
highway work. If Mr. Devers is cor
rect, there will be unemployed here,
with 4500 actually dependent upon
what may be done to relieve unemploy-
ment
In this county, we are organizing a
vigorous effort to help ourselves as
much as possible. Not shirking our
duty in this regard, we deserve favor
able consideration when state and fed
eral funds are spread to relieve unem
ployment conditions.
Bridge Job
Should Co Ahead
pAVEMENTS, slippery with frost and
rain, are with us again, and the
danger spot at the Esplanade bridge is
as dangerous as ever.
If improvements are to be made
there as indicated by city officials, they
should be pushed without further de
lay. Incidentally, J. E. Mackie, wood
extension specialist, gave some per
tinent and worth-while facts about the
practicability of' using wood in bridge
construction when in Klamath Falls
the other day.

CHAPTER IX
Eddie did not recorer con
sciousness sufficiently to tell bis
version of the story before be
lied. There were hours ot sus
pense, for he was young, and dy
ing did not come easy to him.
Ten-wlth a fractured skull. But
ke was weak he hadn't eaten
much for days, according to the
examining doctor, who also was
puzzled by the presence of dark
bruises on his body. But in the
absence ot any other lnforma
toion he attributed these to his
fall.
Sometimes he moved restless
ly snd babbled. "Maybe he's try
ing to tell us something," Mary
suggested. But the others did
not believe it; they were pitying
ly silent.
Bowen drew Dirk aside out of
Mary's hearing and let bis. wrath
explode. Dirk blamed himself
miserably for his failure to reach
the rendezvous at the appointed
time, and what the reporter told
him did not make blm any hap
pier, "i tell you I saw it! It was
murder pure murder! Two feet
further over, and they'd got me,
too. By God, to get that guy I'd
turn this town upside down!"
"Get sway?"
"Clean. I tell you It was all
carefully calculated to the min
ute. Whoever it was took a big
chance, swinging around under
those L pillars. Just as he turned
the corner he flooded the carbur
etor and the number plate was
hidden by smoke."
"Rut why should anyone want
to kill the boy?"
Bowen shrugged. "I'T got an
idea be knows something about
this Jupiter killing."
Ruyther looked at him sharp
ly. "Ah, the kid didn't do It; I
don't mean that," the reporter
answered. "I'll het my hat this
was a professional job. Somebody
did the Jupiter job and hung It
on Eddie. And when he went to
tell, they got him. That's how I
figure It."
"1'crhans you're right," Dirk
rejoined slimy. He did want to
talk to Bowen, but one thing
bothered him. "What time was
It when you and Miss Harkness
reached the corner? Did you no
tice?" "four-ten. I looked at ray
watch before I hunted a tele
phone to call the office."
Dirk turned away, savage with
regret. It he'd been punctual
Eddie might have been living yet.
He was convinced the thing waa
an accident. Newspaper men riv
ed with sensation until they saw
it where it did not exist. If be
had been disposed to think that
someone hsd wished Eddie's
death, the antagonism he felt for
the other man made him veer to
the opposite view.
He could not have explained
the atifrness that came into his
manner when talking to the news
paper man, but it was strongly
rooted, and came from two
causes. An aversion to publicity
was bred In the conservative
bones of the Ruyther clan. And
there was something more, some
thing about the way the absurd
fellow's gsze followed Mary that
stirred all that was proprietary in
Dirk's love. There is a mysteri
ous telegraph by which men In
love with the same woman recog
nize each other. Ridiculous as
the Idea was. Dirk felt con
strained. Bowen pursued his questioning,
too absorbed in speculation to no
tice the other's stiffness. Already
plan wss forming in his mind,
and it he fonnd enough confirma
tion of his suspicions, well he
might be on the trail of a bigger
story than he bad thought.
"How did you get in touch with
Harkness. by the way do yon
mind telling me?" be asked
thoughtfully. "I confess he had
me thinking him guilty until I
saw this. Too plain to miss."
"Why," satd Dirk, hesitating,
"he called me up this morning.
He really said very little. Held
he hail tried to reach Mary, but
the line was busy and be couldn't
wait. Hn he called me Instead. I
said, 'Where are you?' and he
said 'I'll tell you when I see you."
Then he told me to bring Msry
and meet him at th corner you
took her to at 4 o'clock! But "
he gulped down the fact of his
mother's responsibility for the
tragedy "but I was detained."
"How did he seem? Fright
ened? Hurried? Anything queer
about It, I mean"
We II." Dirk considered,
disliking the reversal ot rolea in
which he fonnd himself. He was
usually the Interrogator himself.
On the other hand, he knew that
a refractory witness does himself
no good, so ho answered courte
ously enough.
"I got the Impression be didn't
want to be overheard, perhaps. I
couldn't say there was anything
more than that In his manner.
Nothing very damning In that I
should say. Qnlte natural under
less peculiar circumstances than
these. I was just about to ask
him for an explanation when he
seemed to become hurried, sud
denly. He said, 'I can't talk
now,' and added what sounded
like 'the tly'a buzzing around'
and hung up. Sounded rather
silly. I wonder what he meant?"
He broke off suddenly, remem
bering that he was talking to a
reporter. "Some kid stuff, prob
ably. Very likely meant nothing
at all."
Bowen masked the Interest
that this Information had for
him. "Oh, very ligely. Kufmy,
though he's been talking about
a fly In there." He nodded to
ward the door of the hospital
room. "Mmm. Well, I'll be get
ting along. I'll fix It with the
hospital to call me If he dies.
Kane's coming over, I expect?"
Dirk nodded reluctantly. "He's
on his way. Wants to Ulk to the
kid, if there's any chance at all."
The door of the boy's room op
ened a crack, and a nurse beck
oned. "Mr. Ruyther? Please!"
Dirk pushed hurriedly inside,
where there waa the sound of
hushed sobbing. The nurse closed
the door, shutting herself and
Bowen out. "He's gone," she
said. Bowen said, "Where's the
nearest 'phone?" and bolted.
In the weeks that followed Ed
die's death the one thing hap
pened that Mary had never
dreamed could happen. That waa
that nothing happened at all. The
days went by aa usual and there
waa no nows ot the sort aha want
ed to hear. Day after day her
hopes rose, only to crumble again.
The big black car bad got away
clean; bo one but Bowen and her
self apparently wltneasad that
lightning swerve that had killed
as neatly and deliberately aa a
bullet, and the speeding car had.
swung around th corner before
anyone thought to look at the
number. In no time at all It had
turned Into Fifth avenue, appar
ently, and In th 1st Saturday
afternoon crush of tratfla been
affectively concealed.
At first Mary waa incredulous.
It wasn't right or possible that
such a thing could be. Complete
immunity for such a cold-blooded
murderer npset all her Ideaa ot
justice and led her to think not
quite kindly ot a Providence that
let such things be.
Th private Investigators hired
by Mr. Jupiter to study his wife's
murder they were the two men
who had been hired to protect
her and had tailed so dismally
were Joined by two ot their con
freres. But th search led no
where. There were numerous
Lorlmers In town, even few
aluminum fitted "special Jobs,"
but they were all In the posses
sion ot well-to-do c I linns with
tha most unassailable reputations.
The car that had dealt the death
blow had vanished oft the face ot
the earth. Probably, they reck
oned, locked In a private garage
somewhere, where It would re
main until th affair should hav
been forgotten, whence It would
emerge repainted. And, unless
there waa a tip-oft, might go un
detected altogether. It It had
been a "hot" car (that Is, stolen!
It would hav been found desert
ed. The fact that it waa private
ly owned added to the strength of
th rapidly growing theory now
that the first flush of Indignation
had passed that Eddle'a death
waa aa accident, and not. as
George Bowen ot th Star, alone
among all the metropolitan
news-writers. Insisted, caused by
a "murder ear."
At last even Bowen bowed to
the strength ot opposite opinion,
apparently, for he stopped chid
ing the police department for Its
Imbecility, and even stopped writ
ing any more about the rase.
None was happier at his sudden
silence than Inspector James
Kan.
Fashion
Tips
Most women Ilk autumn and
winter a gnat deal more than
they do spring and summer. They
look and feel smarter in the gay
colored sheer woolen dresses tor
sports, .street and of tie Wear
than In the prints, silks and chif
fons ot summer. Evening dresses
ot soft chiffon velvet and satin
are much mora flattering than
the wispy chiffon prints ot sum
mer. It's exciting and exhller
ailng to replenish the wardrobe
with fall and winter clothes, and
one take mora Interest la the
whole business ot shopping and
going to the dressmaker's.
The makeup and cosmetic sup
ply will have to be repleuished,
too. Yon need more creams, few
er astringents, less rouge and
mora lipstick. Winter dries your
skin mora than summer. Each
time yon com In out ot th cool
(it may even be cold) air, cleanse
your fsc with cream and then
don't make tt np again Immedi
ately. Give It a chance to
breathe. Unless yonr skin is
naturally extremely oily, you
won't need to use an astringent
more than two or three times a
week during the cold months.
In summer, when your fac Is
Inclined to be slightly dsmp most
ot the time, rouge quickly dis
appears. Hence, you apply It
ottener and more generously.
A coat of tan looked smart In
contrast to the white and pastel
shades you wore at the resort
but It won t look smsrt at all it
yon show up at a formal dinner
with arms and shoulders thst
aren't whit and smooth to com
plement your new velvet evening
gow'n. Use a bleaching cream un
til yonr skin Is creamy, soft and
white once again. Remember
thst liquid powder is fine tor
your back and shoulders. It
won't rub off while you are
dancing.
You can give your nails more
fastidious attention. Golf, ssnd
on the beach, riding and Innum
erable otfler things probsbly
made your nails a little rough
and dingy. Keen a half of a
lemon over your sink or on the
bathroom shell and rub your
nails Into It three or four times
a day. It doesn t take but a
few seconds and you'll be sur
prised what it will do toward
bleaching your fingers and nans.
You can probsbly wear a more
vivid shade of polish now not
scarlet, please and pernaps you
will want to wear your nails a
trifle longer too. Re as ravish
ing as you choose. Winter Is the
time to "express your sen."

Health
Talks
Among th agonizing pain
that afflict mankind, earache
ranks next to toothsch in fre
quency, and probably next to
what la called a "Jumping"
toothache for painfulnesa.
Dr. Joseph Hopper lists some
ot th common cause ot earache.
Th average man can guess at
th caus ot his stomschach or
ven at the cause ot his heed
ache, but he will do little with
trying to determine th cans ot
th earache because an Inspec
tion ot th ear by some one
trained In th exam Ins Hon ot
ear la necessary In ordsr to
make a certain diagnosis.
Sometimes aa earache Is
brought about by a boll or aa
Inflammation in th canst lead
ing from th exterior down to
the ear drum. Tbera was a time
when any good toilet kit bad an
ear spoon aa on ot th acces
sories. The r spoon disappear
ed long before th toothpick
lost casts In poll' society, it
ss new good advice sever to put
anything Into th ear smaller
than th lbow, and tt has to be
a small elbow Indeed that can
get lnsld th outer orifice.
When a boll begins In th can
al. It Is accompanied by swelling,
snd tha swslllng means pain. The
boil In the canal will come to a
head Jnst like boll anywhere
els In the body. When it comee
to a head It bursts and the
swelling la relieved. With the
relief of swslllng comes rsltef
from the pain. When there Is
a boll or even a sever pimple,
pulling on th ear Is painful
and pressure la front or behind
th ear, even aa slight aa may be
brought about by chewing or
movement of the Jaws will ex
aggerate th pain. In snch case
nothing at all may be visible
from tha outside. However, the
physician who .looks Into the
csaal will see the swelling part
ially blocking the view down to
the ear drum, and he can apply
antiseptic substances to Inter
fere with the growth ot the
germs, hot applications to sooths
the psln and tenderness, and fin
ally h can puncture or lance the
boll to expedit th removal ot
Its contents.
In the meantime, It Is wsll to
remember thst a boll begins
where the skin has been broken
or Irritated, and that any mani
pulation of the canal for the re
moval of wax or the use of any
hard Instrument Inside the rannl
may be the first step toward the
formation of a bolt
The second and more frequent
cause of earache Is Infection be
hind the esr drum. This ususllr
occurs from extension ot Infec
tion In the throat through the
eustachian tube. This tube con
nects the back ot the nose with
th middle esr. Forced blowing
ot th nos force th Infectious
matter from tha hack of th
nos into th ear. Then corns
th hardness of hearing, tha
swelling, th pain, th fever, and
all ot th symptoms associated
with esr Infection. Th expert
who looks Into th esr will see
th ear drum red, swollsa and
bulging. In order to prevent the
extension ot tha Infection to the
mastoid, with th dsvelopment of
mastoiditis. It may b nscesssry
to puncture th ear drum and
thus to permit tha Infection
material to com out. This wilt
not, ot course, caus permanent
Injury to th hearing, provided
th puncture Is made soon
enough to prevent destruction
