Alicia Hammersly A Woman Who Wouldn't Remarry By Idah McGlone Gibsor The Noted Writer Acceptance by Germany of Allied reparations term will go far towards establishing tranquility and stability in Europe and reset beneficially all over the world. With this issue settled, the world can go to work again. The estimates presented by the Allies were compiled by the Allied Reparations committee which made an extended study of the subject. The total amount to be paid by Germany is 132,000,000,000 gold marks, less the amount already paid, less sums which may be credited to Germany for state prop erty taken over in ceded territory and less sums received from former enemy powers which may be credited to the German account, which leaves the exact total still in dispute, ,sw a wrd to Duane ataout Bab apartment.

If You Want News The story of the land fraud swindle in Salem in which some 140 Salemites were gyped to the extent of $70,000, was printed exclusively in the Capital Journal some fifteen months ago. ,0n account of the influence and prominence of those involved, it was suppressed in other local newspapers. publication brought forth a storm of protest from prin cipals and victims, the former denying that there was a conspiracy to defraud and the latter-refusing to admit that they had been duped. Indignant protests were uttered on all sides, some of the shorn lambs writing letters of censure Even after the chief promotor had begun serving a term in federal prison for similar transactions the simple and child like faith of the investors remained unshaken. In the interval since, the contracts and agreements by which those who sought to get rich quick at Uncle Sam's ex pense have expired, there has been nrefund of money paid in and no delivery of choice timber land. The faith of some of the victimized has evidently evaporated and they no longer see through a glass darkly. At any rate they must have been more willing to talk before the federal grand jury than they were to the Capital Journal, for as a result of their appear ance, indictments ana arrests have tollowed. All of which shows that if it is news you want, you must read the Capital Journal of wait a year to learn what is going on. tily. Yes, dear, I do," I answered. "Wait and see."

Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, pastor of the fashionable church of the Ascension, New York, will be adopted by the clergy man and raised in the way he thinks she should go as an example to show how proper environment can form Chris tian character and overcome the influence of heredity. The experiment has commanded a great deal of undeserved attention, but unless the antecedents of the infant are known, the conclusions amount to nothing. Environment of a few years is not going to overcome tendencies transmitted from thousands of generations. The cowbird lays her egg in the blue-bird or the yellow bird's nest, but the egg hatches a black bird and careful nurturing, training and association of blue and yellow birds does not alter the black character of the intruder. A bull dog can be suckled by a setter, but never points a bird, and remains a bull dog. Some people still persist in the idea that environment can change the leopard's spots and whiten the ethopian skin. Senators Form Block to Push Farmer Relief Washington, May 10.

The most serious fire of the month the summary shows, was that at Eugene in which a garage and its contents were destroyed with a loss of $50,000. "Why don't you do it, Hal?" "Well, you see, I've been going over there a good deal lately, and Ruth Welty, the little cat, has been talking. If you call upon Nell with flowers it will right things up a bit.'' "It seems too bad, Hal, that gossips must concern themselves with the sympathy of one friend for another in time of trouble. I don't think I like Miss Welty." "You're all right, Alix. Neither 4o I." "I'll take the flowers as sodn as I've rested up a little." "You can have the charged at Selwyn's." "Oh, that makes me think, Hal, here is the check you sent me." I said, as we entered the conveyance at the Btation. "Didn't you get it cashed?" "No, I couldn't use it; I don't think I ean spend the money which you have won at gamb ling." "Oh, come, Alix, don't be a prude. It was just a friendly game, you know. I won't do it any more if you'll stay at home. But I was so lonesome while you were gone that I had to do some thing, and I thought it was no more than fair to send you the spoils." "I can't help that, dear. It's impossible for me to use it," and I gave Hal the check. Ho seemed to be much annoyed and started to sly something. Then he thrust It into his pocket with a peculiar little smile. We went directly to our rooms. They were very cozy, although the furniture had just been set in, without any attempt at ar rangement. "I knew you'd want to fix these rooms up yourself. There is a woman In the building who will come in and help you by the day when you want her. You're sure you're well enough to do all this. You're looking fine, AMi," and Hal threw his arms around me and drew me toward him. "Of course I'm well enough and Im going to have a lot of fun 1 fixing up the place."
