|Life'sProblems
Are Discussed
BY MRS. WILSON WooDRoW

Where do we go from here :?
Where do we go from here?"
In every gathering or group of
people, If it persists long enough
and when l say people" | except
of course the assemblages of the
very .young-there is one subject
that is bound to come up for discus
sion. 1t is that of the future life
And even the very young are ant
to discuss it in a circle of their own
sex. Among themselves boys of high
school or college age will speculate
and ponder upon it; and among
themselves girls of eighteen and
twenty will air their romantic or
imaginative fancies. But when to-
gether they would never dream of
intruding anything so spooky.
With people," though, the great
mystery affords an always inter
esting and never-failing topic. Men
tell me that they have heard it
argued and debated in all sorts of
queer and out-of-the-way places
among cowboys and prospectors
gathered about the campfire, on the
decks of fishing schooners rocking
to the long swells off the Grand
Banks, in African iungles and
South American forests, about the
gaming tables and among the
loungers in barrooms. But always
at night. they say, and usually in
the small hours.
And l. myself, have observed the
same phenomenon. The quiet of
the night, the light of a wood fire
making the shadows of the room
seem denser, and the conversation
invariably turns to, Where do we
so from here?"
Isn't that the mystery of the
darkness and the approach of that
still greater mystery, sleep, natur-
ally turns our thought to the great
est of all problems?"
a futile questioning, many peo-
pie say, for in the end one comes
squarely up against a blank wall.
But the history of our planet
shows that mans destiny is to
solve the unsolvable. Fifty or
hundred years ago one would
scarcely have dared whisper a doubt
against the orthodox, medieval
conception of Heaven and Hell. Then
there was blank wall interposed-
Il blank wall of negation. But all
this discussion and re-discussion is
having it's effect.
The fact that scientists like Sir
Oliver Lodge have taken the matter

To Avoid Rough, Coarse,
Chapped, Blotchy Skin

Most skins require constant groom
ing at this season to keep them from
becoming unduly red. blotchy, coarse,
rough or harsh, or il such condition
has developed, to overcome IT, In
such cases it is particularly inadvis-
able to keep piling on cosmetics which
clog the pores and make the COM
pleXion worse than ever.
It's lot more sensible to use ordi-
nary mercolized wax, which literally
absorhs spoiled complexion. Apply
the wax, like cold cream, before re-
firing. Next morning, in washing it
off, you'll wash away fine, flour-like
particles of the unsightly cuticle. Re-
peat for a week or more and you'll
. have an entirely new skin-soft,
hwhite, spotless and beautiful as a
child's. One ounce of mercolized wax,
procurable at any druggists, is all
you'll need.-Advertisem

"Oh, no, DEAR" and Joyce shook her
head remonstratingly; that doesn't
stand for me at all. We won't call
the baby for anyone but her own

means to us"
And Al hadn't thing to say to

Advice to the Lovelorn
Don't BE Too Sensitive

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l am engaged to marry a man l
dearly love. Now, my friend has a
sister who is married for the past
year. Previous to her wedding I
was very friendly with her and re-
ceived her most cordially at my
home. After her marriage l went to
her home on my own accord and
was snapped at and made uncom-
Portable. Since my visit she has
never invited or asked me to come
to see her. My friend insists that [
go with him to see her on his invi-
tation. My dear Miss Fairfax, do
you think it is proper after | refused
and told him the reason why, to
leave me and go himself?
MARJORIE.
| really don't understand this
woman's actions. Possibly someone
has made a bit of trouble for you;
may be she is selfshly absorbed in
her own happiness. l think it would
be worth your while to give her
the benefit of the doubt and to put
your pride in your pocket since she
is the sister of the man you love.
Why not have peace in the family?
1t would have been wise for you to
go with your fiance when he asked
you to visit his sister. Perhaps she
never intended any. offense and
would have welcomed you so cor
daily that you would have been
ashamed of your suspicious.
COUSINS
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Please don't fail me! 1 am in camp
at Fort Wadsworth. / am in love with
first cousin whom / have been going
out with quite often before l was call
ed into active service. L now receive
mail from her and the contents of her
letters are very endearing. / have
not mentioned any of my serious in
tentions to her because many people
have told me that 1t was not proper
to marry a blood relative. However,
I think she would look favorably up
on my suit. Will you please advise
me in this predicament? 1 earn a fair
salary in civil life and believe we
could be extremely happy together.
We have not been known to each
other previous to about year and a
half ago.
Marriages between first cousins are
not at all advisable. In some states
they are not even legal. This is for
the good of the race and any book
on Eugenics will explain the situation
to you far better than l can in the
columns of a newspaper.

0S3.76, and while one year ago the re-
sources of the club were $500, now
they were $8,205. Mr.. Albert also call
ed attention to the fact that the Sa-
lem Commercial club had invested
$4,000 in Liberty bonds, the first Com
mercial club in the United States to
show its patriotism. He urged that peo-
pie here should get acquainted with
each other, as it would be good thing
for the town.
David W. Eyre, chairman of the Lib
erty Loan committee, said that several
subcommittee would be appointed and
that almost all members of the Com
mercial club would be asked to serve.
He noted the fact that while the amount
of 100000 should be subscribed in Sa-
lem, so far the total amount was only
about $4,000 A house to house canvas
will be made for the Liberty bonds
within a short time. T. B. Kay said
that the bonds were the best on earth,
and that it was not begging PROPOSE
ton to ask any one to subscribe. He
thought it was patriotic duty and that
no trouble should be experienced in Sc
curing subscriptions for the remaining
$250,000.
A Feast of oratory.
The remainder of the evening was
given to discussion of the rulings of
the supreme court and the legal phases
of the South Twelfth and High street
cases, wherein certain parties had evad-
ed their street assessments through
technical errors in advertising. and in
which the supreme court sustained them
in not paying their assessments. This
discussion was between Grant Corby
and City Attorney Macy. The various
phases of the proposed three amend
ments will be discussed at a mass meet
ing to be held in the near future in
which the principal speakers will be T..
Il. Kay, Grant Corby, City Attorney
Macy and others who have made study
of street assessments. Mr.. Kay, P. H.
darcy, City Attorney Macy. Mayor
Keyes and others will favor the re-as-
sessment plan whereby the city will
have a right to re-assess the paved
blocks on High and South Twelfth
streets, known as the D. J. Fry and
John H. Albert cases and whereby the
city viii also have the authority to col
leet after property has been assessed.

/" CLOSEUP OPINION OF GENERAL PERSHNC

Dirty rifles aroused the generals ire.
"That's fine looking instrument.
Been using it for hoe, have youa" he
would ask
Down the line he went, his eyes TAX
ing in every detail. "Take off your
uniform when you sleep" he would
snap. Don't you ever wash those
pants?D
Without stopping to eat or for mo-
ment 3 rest he kept at his task through
the infantry, the signal corps, the ambu-
lance and hospital units and along the
long line of motors and drivers in. the
truck compaies and the aviation corps
Pershing knew what he had in men
and equipment every minute he was in
Mexico And he says that his men lack
ed nothing. And so in France he will
know every minute what he has in men
and equipment and he will see that they
lack nothing to make them efficient
soldiers. For Pershing, in the phrase
ology, is ga hound for detail. -

Russia Out for a Year.

The feeling is developing that the i'm
portance of the American military par
ticipation alone has bmeen over empha-
sized. The big lesson taught by Europe,
it is said that war is no longer made
by armies, it is made by entire nations;
it is made by the co-ordinated forces of
capital and labor, agriculture and in.
dustry, each sacrificing private gain,
individual and personal advantage with
the same willingness that the military
sacrifices its blood and its lives.
1t is no longer a secret that as an Of
fensive Russia has collapsed and is out
of the military plans for a year at least
more probably for good. Nothing but
the rise of Russian Napoleon, or the
establishment of a dictatorship can save
the Slav situation. Neither is likely
contingency.
France has passed the high point of
her efficiency and can be counted on to
do nothing more than hold her own.
England, while still on the upgrade
from military viewpoint, has almost
reached her high point, and, economical
ly, is ON the downgrade.
Granting, as seems probable, that
Germany is in equally serious straits,
neither side has the reserve strength to
deliver a Knockout. In the opinion of
French and British military experts,
the final victory y-aehieving punch must
come from America--if it comes at all
America Not Awakened
America has not awakened yet to the
gravity of the situation.
Interviews by the United Press with
representatives and senator's on the sub
iect of their mail from constituents
clearly discloses this.
The price of patriotism is not, accord
ing to these legislators, been visualized
by either big or little capital, or by
organized or unorganiZed labor. Pa
triotism without profit and patriotism
at the expense of long hours and many
sacrifices, conditions finally accepted
by England, have not yet been sensed
as the contributions to be exacted from
those who must be the stay-at-homes
and ultimately be conscripted for work
here in America far from the fighting
lines.
The slogan "business as usual" ham
pered and halted for two years Eng
lands arrival at a real war basis, ac-
cording to members Of the British com
missioners. Speaking privately, one of
the most prominent commissioners
voiced the fear while in Washington
that the United States was on the verge
Of repeating Britain's biggest blunder.
In this connection, particular signifi-
canee attaches to the coming to Amer
lea of Northeliffe, one Of England's S
multi ti-millionaires, who made relentless
war on the Cuisines as usual slogan
and repeatedly warned England during
1915 that she was losing the war be
cause of her prosperity.
Must Check Food Prices.
Administration leaders, members of
the Council of National Defense and
members Of congress, irrespective OF
partissnship, recognized the existanee
of a dangerous situation here in the
capital. They say that neither capital
nor labor will respond to the radical de-
mands that must inevitably be made un-
til legislation has been enacted making
certain the proper distribution Of the
burden.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1917-06-08

Industrial leaders and big employers
of labor say that unless the food bill
or other legislation designed to check
the soaring cost of living is enacted
quickly, serious and widespread labor
troubles are inevitable.
At the capitol the statement is free
ly made by both representatives and
senators that delay in passing legisIa-
tion necessary before direct action can
be obtained is attributed to lack of
confidence in either the cabinet or the
Council of National Defense.
In both of these bodies the need for
small war council is recognized Such a
council, it is argued, should consist of
about three men, free from executive
duties or routine, but with authority to
render final decisions, as IS done by the
British war council.
The prediction is freely made that
such a council with real authority must
come within 80 days

c. OF c. ENDORSES
KEY WEST CHANNEL

In an effort to obtain favorable
consideration to the proposition Of
dredging the Key West channel, which
is being discussed by the board of en-
gineers of rivers and harbors, Secre-
tary James F. Phillips, of the Cham
Der of Commerce, yesterday sent the
following telegram:
eve understand northwest channel
project Key West, Florida, comes be-
fore you tomorrow for consideration,
and we again request your favorable
endorsement. Trusting you will apr
prove same to depth of thirty feet, as
completion means mucIf to Pensacola
and other West Florida ports in short
ening and making safer route to all
vessels entering or leaving the gulf. "
In explanation it may be stated that
the proposition has been before the
board on a previous occasion, when an
adverse report was submitted by an
engineering board appointed to inves-
tigate. The Importance of the pro-
ject to Pensacola is shown by the
saving in time and safe passage.

The Ida S. Brooks reached the dock
reporting a total of 10000 pounds of
snappers and 5000 pounds of group
ers, while the auxiliary schooner Sea
En- arrived, reporting a catch of
5000 pounds, which is good for her
size.
Two smacks went to sea yesterday.
These were the Flora J. Sears and
the Hope, both of which, on account
of the southwest breeze which came
up in the afternoon, being towed to
sea.
1t was expected that several fish

banks for some time, will begin to
show up now, since the breeze con-
tinues so briskily nowadays.
