A RICH MANS son WHO WANTS
TO WORK.

Did you ever stop to think what a
curious thing it is that there is a
news interest whenever some en-
dowed son of a very rich man sur
prises folks by actually going to
work?
If there were to come over the
wires story of his having bought
a new auto or yacht or gone on a
jamboree, it probably wouldn't be
printed because it wouldn't be news.
For news isn't merely what happens,
but what happens unusually-as
Dana once said, if a dog bit man,
it would have no news value, for that
is what dogs often do; whereas, if a
man bit a dog, it would be sensa-
tional news, being so uncommon.
The latest news story of rich
mans son going to work comes from
Boston. Pa is a banker with oodles
of cash; but son is going west to be
a brakeman, because he wants to
know the railroad business from the
railroads point of view-and not be
merely an ornamental director, vot-
ing as father tells him.
This particular son evidently sees
the days of banker management are
and the future of railroad
ing in this country is to be for the
men who know the railroad business
from the ties up.
Isn't he to be congratulated upon
his insight and foresight?
But what a commentary upon rich
mems sons in general!

Jackson County
Is Turned Down

Washington. The postoffice de-
partment has advised Senator Cham
berlain it cannot grant the request
of the Jackson county officials for a
further allotment from the federal
appropriation for cooperative road
improvement in Jackson county.
Congress appropriated 100000 to
be given to the various states in
sums of $4,000 for the building of
postal highways over existing post
roads. The county court of Jackson
county made application for the ap-
preparation of $4,000 on condition
that the county place $4,000 in
bank and that the government built
fifty mics of road.
This being agreed to and carried
out" wrote Judge Tou Velle, "the
department sent out an engineer last
October to begin operations. Coming
so late, the rains set in and he has
been compelled to suspend work until
spring, except to build few culverts.
Mr. Hughes, then acting director,
came out here during October and
after going over the road to be built
agreed with the court that we should
have had 100000 or $4,000 given
for this work in place of the $4,000.
He also informed us that only a part
of the states took advantage of the
offer and that the department had
been dividing the balance among the
states that had applied for the APP
preparation. He informed us that the
state of Mississippi had received the
sum of $4,000 and only required to
build 20 miles OF road. He said that
other states had been rewarded like
wise. but could not tell why Oregon
was left out of the count. We feel
| that you were not aware of this be-
ing done and wish to put you in po-
sition to go into the matter and de.
mand that we get all that any other
state has received
I'm fact, senator. we think that il
the government hopes to get results
from this venture nothing short oi
good round sum should be placed
at the disposal of the road engineer
so he can build the road under the
rules governing such work. l woult
suggest that you take up the matter
of the government maintaining al
these roads after construction.
feel that we are deserving in Oregon
as in other states and must depend
on YOU and Senator Lane for protec
tion of our interests"

1t is strange coincidence that the
new Greek minister to this country Is
a son of a pioneer in the gold fields
of California, where he accumulated
fortune. And while he was gather
ing his fortune, Heinrich Schlemann
was cherishing the hope that some
day he might 90 to Greece and re-
store many of the ancient works of
art. This he did, and now his son,
Agamemmnon Schliemann, is TO be
minister from Greece to this country.
Surely n romance sometimes creeps
into international politics, as has oc-
Cured in this instance.

1t develops that during the good
year 1913 1880 persons came to their
deaths by reason of accidents under
ground, in coal mines, in this coun-
try. That is an awful toll, and the
worst is that a good part Of these
deaths were unnecessary-they might
have been avoided, Almost as many
deaths came in a year by mining ac-
cidents as came on the field of battle
at Gettysburg to the federal troops.
And that battle lasted three days.
And the worst is that we have be-
come so callous to these awful kill
ings that we give small consideration
to unnecessary catastrophes-we
don't worry when we remember that
large number-a large percentage
of these deaths might be avoided.

THE INDOOR WINDOW BOX

The indoor window box, properly
planed and tended, will afford much
pleasure and satisfaction to the house
wife who misses her out-of-door gar
den during the winter months. 1t is
a mistaken notion that plants when
kept in living rooms use up certain
elements of the air in such quantities
as to make it unhealthful for individ-
uals using the room. 1t is much hard
err on plants to be in a room with
people than for people to be in room
with growing plants. Plants, indeed,
use air, but use such a small proper
ton that the effect of the plant in the
room is negligible if the room is ven
tilated at all. This also holds good for
cut flowers or plants in sick room,
although the odor of some flowers may
be depressing to the patient, and bad
for that reason.
A good depth for an indoor window
box is about IL inches. The bottom
of the box should be covered with

BY JANE WHITAKER

Do you ever wonder what; becomes
of the people who drop out of sight
as completely as the star that shoots
out of the sky, and are never heard
of again?
There are many hundreds of them
each year in every large city, most
of them boys and men, but an ap-
palling number of them are girls.
To be sure, some of them are
found and the. mystery solved, but
what of those who are not traced,
who do not return?
went over the records in the Of
flee of the city detective bureau and
it was more absorbing than the best
novel because it was so battling, and
so fraught with speculation.
During the months of March and
April more than a hundred people
have disappeared in Chicago and as
yet in but few cases are the records
marked found returned" or
home" A few of them are school
children, between the ages of 6 and
10; there are few girls of IA; there
were six girls of Is; nine girls of 16;
eleven girls of II, and six girls of Is.
Beyond that, the ages. range clear
into the fifties, and the descriptions
run from blue eyes and golden hair
to brown eyes and black hair, with
all the intermediate colorings.-
In rare cases possible motives are
supplied by relatives, and these,
though they suggest tragedy, are less
fearful than the uncertainty.
Feared she may commit suicide"
MAY be found with young Italian"
Does not speak English" TOOK
with her $40. Had quarrel with
father" "On parole. Believed to
have taken $50"
One very sad record began with a
description of missing man, and to
it was added: Found dead of gas

are absolute mysteries OF
bodies in the morgue and no identity
discovered.
In the case of boys who run away,
one can supply the motive more
easily. Boys are naturally of an adj
venturous temperament Only few
days ago listened to two little tykes
standing on corner, one with sun
bleached hair and eyes as blue as the
sky, and the other swarthy, with the
wanderlust in his brown eyes, arrang-
ing to meet each other when they
should get their clothes, and he of the
sun-bleached hair said: I'VE can
find some place to sleep, if can just
sneak my things out" And both of
them were going to leave the shelter
of their homes, however poor the
homes might be, for the shelterless
uncertainty of a. rowing life.
1t is easy to imagine the reason
that takes men from home. 1t isn't
so often the lure of adventure, for
their blood has ceased toTun so hot
ly in their veins, but they grow dis
satisfied, they grow impatient and
many or them are too weak morally
to go on shouldering the burden Of
supporting home.
The detectives admit that it is less
difficult to trace boys and men, be-
cause an officer can approach them
and question them and learn their
identity, but an officer must be very
sure of the identity of the girl or
woman before he speaks to her. She
is very apt to take offense at his adj
dressing her and raise a disturbance.
But it is difficult to imagine why
tender girls of from Is to 20 brave the
prospect of being homeless and
friendless. OF course, in some cases
it is a secret love affair, and one girl
was located later in st. Louis, hap
PLY married, but secret love affairs
do not often end happily, especially
