A unique event and one OF general
interest at this outdoor season IS the
appearance of the Ching Chinik group
Of camp fire girls at the Oregon theater
this evening and tomorrow evening.
Tne camp fire girls have not been or
ganized such a great while in Salem,
but their numbers have grown rapidly
and their work has shown some inter
esting Developments. The Ching Chi
mix camp is one Of the first groups to
appear before the public in Salem, and
their program promises to be not only
entertaining but distinctly significant
Of the purpose and character of the or
ganization of camp fire girls as whole

prises previous to this for the purpose
of raising money foi ceremonial robes
among which were a chicken pie supper
and a food sale The national head

FEW ARE BUYING DIAMONDS
Prosperity to the Dealers in
Precious Stones.


The diamond trade in Europe is
well-nigh wiped out by the war. The
great diamond monopoly in South Af-
rica, it is said, will pass its dividends
and maybe suspend business entirely.
The custom of 'valorizing" diamonds
holding back part of the output to
keep up prices-has left the big min
ing company with a heavy stock on
hand.
This winter, at least, many people
in Europe who wear diamonds, far
from wanting more, are going to find it
convenient, not to say necessary, to
sell those they have. This will lower
prices and more than satisfy the fee
BILE demand. 1t would not be surpris-
ing If goodly stock of European jew
erly were to find it's way to this coun-
try at bargain prices.
Europe is in no mood to buy gew-
gaws. Cold cash looks as good to
thousands of property owners as food
to millions who own nothing. A dia-
mond mine is no place to look for
job yet awhile.

tess where she bought it and the hos
tess told how Mrs. Tabor had made it
to order. One or two of them called
on the minister's wife and asked her
to make candy for them. She made
it and after awhile she was getting
one or two orders week for candy
There wasn't much profit for the lit
tie woman. When everything went
well she had a few dollars above ex-
penses as the result of many hours of
work, but when she made the slightest
mistake in the cooking most of the
candy. 1t was the one thing she liked
to do better than anything else. Why,
she asked herself, couldn't she turn
the talent she had in this direction to
making living for herself and fam
lily? Nothing was more suited to her
needs. She could remain at home,
near her stricken husband, and watch
over her little household If it were
not for the fact that occasionally a
batch Of candy spoiled in the making,
small it might be, on every order. If
she only could guard against these
mistakes she would be safe, but how
could she? A friend with whom she
consulted pointed a way out
''You have a gift for candy making" )"
said this friend, ''but there are various
things you have to learn. There must
be way to prevent the failures you
sometimes encounter. Read up on
candy making. Find out what the sci
entists who have made study of the
subject have to say. You may dis
cover something Of profit
She followed this advice. She found
that the great candy makers had ther-
mometers by which the heat of the
melted matter was registered so they
could know the exact moment it had
reached the proper consistency. Pre-
viously she had cooked her candy as

Latest Great Railroad Stations.

Nowhere are there to be found such
noble terminal and union station build
ings as now exist in the United States
Foremost among these are the Penn
sylvania station and the new Grand
Central station in New York; but out
side of this city there are other monu-
mental buildings which are scarcely
second to the two mentioned in impor-
tance. The latest of these to be opened
is the Union station in Kansas City,
Mo-, which was opened to traffic on
November i of this year. The build
ing, of classic design, is monumental
in size and of dignified and harmoni-
Gus proportions. The central portion
of the building contains main hall
240 by 81 feet and 80 feet high. The
waiting room is $50 by 78 feet. The
total cost of the station, approaches,
new belt line and the new terminal
works represents an output of over
forty million dollars.

DATE ONLY FROM 1929
FIRST AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVE
THEN HAD INITIAL RUN.
On Tracks Entirely of Wood 1t At
tanned a Speed of Ten Miles an
Hour-Introduction of "Grass-
hopper" Type.

The first locomotive looked more
like a huge grasshopper than anything
else. There was no cabin on it, and
the engineer had to stand up while
it was in operation.
The astonishing performance of
"The Rocket" in England led to the
introduction of steam engines in
this country. In 1929 Horatio Allen
operated the first locomotive tried out
in America it ran on tracks made en-
tirely of wood, Spectators at the trial
were afraid to venture on the engine,
and many Of them urged the daring
Allen to give up the experiment, as it
was bound to end in disaster Allen
laughed at their fears, and, pulling the
throttle wide open, he dashed off at
the terrific speed of ten miles an
hour.
In 1881 Phineas David of Pennsyl.
vania designed an engine for the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad. 1t was the
first OF the grasshopper type, and did
good work for many years. Three of
these grasshopper engines designed
by Davis for the same railroad were in
active service for over fifty years-a
remarkable record
In 1881 Matthew Baldwin, founder
of the Baldwin Locomotive works. de-
signed an engine called "Old Iron
sides. 1t was tried out on the Phil
adelphia & Norristown railroad and
made a speed of 80 miles an hour. It
weighed something over five tons 1t
was used only in fair weather, and
when it rained horses were used to
draw the cars.
From this date rapid improvement
was made in the construction of the
locomotive. The railroads were be-
ginning to handle a large business, but
their methods of management were
so crude that many fearful wrecks re.

The eff Hand.

If-after various reports-we are to
believe that it is the left arm, and
not in the right that Kreisler is
wounded, this is no cause for congrat-
ulation from his audiences. The vio-
linist's left hand has the beau role"
When Charles Reade was pleading
vigorously for the restoration of the
left hand to equal honor, he liked the
public to guess what two marvellous
things were done by a trained left
hand greater than anything boasted
by the right. 1t turned out that one
was the work of the famous left hand
of a pugilist famous in that day, Tom
Sayers, and the other was the finger
ing of great violinist. But the pian-
ist Thalberg also put in his left" TO

She exercised great care in the Sc
lection of a helper. She also had to
get aid in putting up the candies. She
had to keep books, too, and became
more and more of a regulation busi.
ness woman.
Within year of her arrival in Mont
clair, Mrs. Tabor was known through
out the whole Montclair district, and
Mrs. Tabor's homemade candy had be-
come an institution. Then, by de-
grees, she and her candy became
known to Glen Ridge, Bloomfield,
Verona, Caldwell and the Oranges.
That portion of New Jersey is one OF
beautiful homes, owned by people
of wealth or considerable means. To
deliver to all the people in this wide
section who gave orders to her be-
came more and more difficult for the
little woman who had made business
for herself There is lot of entertain
ing in the Oranges and the Montclairs.
For banquet or party, wedding or
luncheon, dinner or reception to be
without Mrs Tabor's homemade
candy came to be a rarity. She estab-
lished a regular delivery service, and
this led to some families giving or
ders for certain quantity of candy
each week.
II is three years since Mrs. Tabor
arrived in Montclair with her chill,
dren and her stricken husband, and
with very few dollars to provide for
her needs. Mr.. Tabor is no better
The physicians have done their best

Learned to Avoid Failures.
She studied candy making from the
scientific end. She got thermometers
and used them so well that thereafter
she made no failures. She studied
the proportions of the various ingredi-
ents that went into the different things
she made and never departed from the
formula To all the knowledge she ac-
quired from her reading she added her
great natural ability
One thing which she did from the
charged price that seemed very high,
but which made people appreciate
what they got. For everything she
made she charged one dollar a pound.
Her orders increased so fast that
her little girl could not attend to all
the deliveries. She had to hire a boy.
Then she paid what seemed a stag
gering price to have boxes designed
for her that would be distinctive and
add to the attractivene5s OF the
candies. Many days she was at the
range for hours at a stretch, and then
she put in other hours boxing her
product. She never let anything go
out until she was fully satisfied that
1t was as near perfection in quality
and appearance as she could make it.
1t was hard, very hard work Money
came in, but it seemed to go out fast
er than she earned it. Her husband
did not improve. He was helpless, and
the bills of the physicians and the
druggists made heavy inroads on her
earnings. The more she worked and
the more she earned the more she
seemed to need.
But while she toiled her business
steadily expanded The people she
served came to know of her brave
struggle and this, added to the salts
faction those who knew good candy
felt, widened the circle Of her patrons.
Someone suggested that it would
be good thing if she could place her
candy on sale in town. There is an
establishment in Montclair that caters
to the most exclusive trade. It's busi-
ness was confined largely to fine
books, high class stationery and
dainty furnishings. The head of this
establishment made radical depart
ure when he put Mrs. Tabor's home
made candies on sale, but it proved
good stroke OF business for him. His
price was one dollar pound, the same
as Mrs Tabor charged other custom
ers, but he charged her a commission
on the sales.
Business Expanded Rapidly
With the placing of her goods on
sale In town, Mrs. Tabor had SO much
to do that she had TO get assistance.

ammunition that is causing most Of
the wounds in the land battles. Shrap-

large proportion of wounds are from
