appetites of the workaday
world occasionally turn for re-
creation. The world of bellies
.lettres, the drama, and the stu
dio is woman's world. 1t is
the dictum of publishers, man
ayers and professionals in
every field of entertainment
that they must depend for very
existence upon the women who
have time or means to make a
business of pleasure, Their
whims and tastes determine
what the pabulum shall be for
the rest of us. Since the world
of amusementS became domin-
antly feminized, look at the re-
sults-of cubism, futurism, free
verse, magazine fiction, "pSy-
Geological" dancing, chocolate
caramel dramas or clinical OBJ
scenities, ragtime operas and
dime-novel movies. In word,
our sisters, whose limitations
we commiserate and whose
leisure we envy, have de-hum-
anized what they have femin-
lied.
But of course the trouble is
not entirely on the part of the
ladies of any class. One COM
mon fault is that the mag
mates" who pass judgment on
our amusements too often
underestimate the tastes of the
public.

THE TROUBLE WITH
DANIELS

= E c r E I AIRY DANIELS
30 has gotten "in bad with
a certain number of peo-
pie because he wants navy mon
ey expended for the benefit OF
the navy, not for the benefit of
the armor trust and the pow
der trust. Much has already
been made known regarding
the manner in which the armor
makers overcharged the gov
eminent until Secretary Daniels
came into office.
According to Congressman
Tavenner of Illinois who has
been investigating the subject
the history of the transactions
between the United States gov
ernment and the Dupont Pow
der trust average with the his
tory of the dealings between
the government and the armor
makers. The aggregate of the
sums paid the Dupont trust in
excessive and extortiOnate prof
its no doubt runs into the tens
of millions.
In the period between 1905
and 1913 alone the govern
ment purchased 29,565,512
pounds of powder from this
trust, paying on an average of
80 cents a pound for 3,297,712
pounds of .30-caliber powder
and an average of IS cents a
pound for 29,565,512 pounds
of Army and Navy smokeless
powder, or total or $21,998,-
.25O.
The government is now man.
ufacturing powder for SO cents
a pound, all overhead charges
included, and the larger the
quantities it manufactures the
lower the cost. If the govern
ment had manufactured all of
the powder it purchased be-
tween 1905 and 1913, it would
have cost S11,830,754 instead
of $21,998,250 or have result
ed in a saving of $10,167,4 ,496,
enough to build a first-class
battleship.
No wonder Secretary Dan
iels has become unpopular with
the war munitions people; no
wonder a campaign of defam-
alton is being conducted
against him. Any man who in
terferes with an S11,000,000I
profit is very likely to meet
with such a fate.

DON'T START FOREST
FIRES

NNECAUSE of the heavy tour
N ist travel to the west this
summer it is particularly
desirable that forest fires bt
held to the minimum so as tC
abate the annual smoke nuis
ance as we'll as the waste Of
timber.
In a statewide appeal upor
this subject the Portland Cham
Der of Commerce makes these
suggestions:
From now on every public
spirited citizen should preach
prevention of forest fire.
Those having slashings tC
burn, should get them out OF
the way now if safety permits,
or if not, leave them until fall
Public officials-state, cOun-
ty and municipal, should cheer
fully help in eradicatlng the
smoke nuisance. Every one
should exert a real effort to
prevent the starting of forest
fires.
Our fire protection service
has been successful the past
four years in preventing loss of
timber. But they cannot with
out the best kind of cooper
alton from all residents of the
state prevent fires from start
ing.
We should all work together
in making Oregon free from
smoke this summer. If this is
not done we will miss a real
opportunity to impress upon
thousands of people the fact
that Oregon is good state in
which to live.
Follow these simple rules
and see that others do the same
and few fires will occur.
Don't toss away burning
matches or tobacco.
Don't make a camp fire in
leaves, rotten wood, or against
logs, where it may spread or
where you cannot be sure it is
out.
Never leave a fire until it is
out.
Don't burn slashings in the
dry season without a permit,
and without care to confine the
fire.
Put out any fire you find if
you can, if you can't, notify a
fire warden, some other public
officer, or the land owner, and
don't be afraid to tell the other
fellow he must also be careful.
