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. Glad you

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.

A Pastors Experience
A girl baby found abandoned on the doorstep of the Rev.
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.

April Losses by
Fire $123,345
Losses aggregating $183,345
were sustained in 54 fires occur
ing in Oregon outside of Portland
during the month of April, accord
ing to a summary prepared by the
state fire marshal's office here.
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."
"Well, I'll leave you now, dear,

It was late in the afternoon be
