In some OF his lectures Professor
Robert W. Rogers Of Drew theological
seminary expressed his opinion on the
location Of the garden Of Eden He
thinks that the garden Of Eden was
somewhere In the region lying between
the rivers Tigris and Euphrates. In
an address before the Harlem branch
Of the Y. II. @. A. some years ago he
said:
when the search for the holy grail
ceased in the middle ages the human
mind took up the problem OF the Ioca-
ton Of the garden OF Eden. This has
been put in many places-Armenia.

Memorial Day, which has gradually
usurped the first place in the hearts
of the American people, so long held
by Independence Day, was generally
and appropriately celebrated in
Salem today, as it no doubt was over
the entire country.
Early yesterday morning street cars
were filled with the flower-laden
throng, and an endless procession of
autos and buggies, masses of bloom
and beauty, all with the cemeteries as
the objective points, began the prep
arations for today's services.
By night the cemeteries were in
deed beautiful. The mounds over
loved ones were masses of roses and
other beautiful flowers. Flowers ev-
erywhere in riotous profusion, until
the big cemetery naturally one of the
most beautiful in the world, was just
a great tract, carpeted with bloom
and color, while the air was heavy
with their fragrance,
