Investigation of
 High Priced Fish
 Bait is Demanded

Muncie, Ind, Aug. 16.-After pay ing the high prices charged for live bait at Indiana lake resorts, Muncie sportsnen are loud in their demand that an investigation of the bait in- dustry be included along with the high cost of living. One dealer in angle worms, who, at the beginning of the season jumped his prices from 15 cents to 35 cents a hundred and then tackled on another five cents, ex- plained the second raise by saying he has to pay 5-cent war tax.
 At most of the Indiana lakes last season fishing worms could be bought fer 15 cents hundred; now they are 35 and 40 cents a hundred. Crickets that formerly sold for 35 cents a hundred are now being dolled out to the sportsmen at 10 cents dozen.
 The dealers say they can make 8. much money at other work that they have to charge the higher prices for bait or quit the business.
 One bait dealer at Webster Lake confided to friends the other day that he had sold 10000 worms since. the season opened and had cleaned up a nice profit. It is said the wise bait dealers dig worms early in the spring and place them in a coffer grounds bed and with frequent watering and feeding on coffey grounds worms multiply rapidly.
 But the sportsmen assert that the blue gills don't bite any better on 40- cent worms than they did on the 1d cent kind.

 When He is Called

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 16.-F. G. Davis wants the Western Union to pay him $15,O00 damages because, he claims, an employe of the comapny referred to him as bolsheviki and l. w. w. in a telegram that was sent over the company's wires.
 Davis, a commercial telegrapher, filed suit against the company Tues day afternoon in the district court. He alleges in the petition that the follow ing telegram was received by him from M. H. Middleton, manager of the Burkburnett branch of the tele- graph company.
 Sorry but cannot accommodate a bolsheviki and I. w. w."
 The telegram, Davis states, de- famed him and exposed him to public hatred.
 It is stated in the petition that the word "bolsheviki" means "one who IS opposed to well defined rules of or ganized society" and that the term q. w. w." means "person opposed to honest work, a shiftless worthless person.

Quakertown, Pa, Aug. 16.-Horri- fled to find what they believed to be the body of dead girl lying along the banks of stream near Califor- nia, two children notified the village folks and Coroner White of this place made quick trip to the spot.
 Arriving on the scene the Coroner found the supposed girl nothing more than a cleverly executed model of a woman made from clay and placed in such a position as to mislead even careful observation. A knife was lying close by and red soap was placed on the hands, indicating a bloody struggle.

TEXAS FUGITIVE IS
 PARD0NED AFTER HE
 WON VICTORIA CROSS
First Service With British Did Not Gain Him
 Freedom.

Dallas, Tex, Aug. 16.-We.rer of the coveted Victoria Cross, won in service with the British armies after his escape from the Texas peniten- tiary, D. M. Delmas has returned to Seattle, Wash., to take position pro- missed him upon his pardon by Gov ernor w. P. Hobby.
 Twice Delmas escaped from the the British army. His return to Tex as, after his arrest recently in Seat tie, brought his incarceration.
 Governor Hobby pardoned the man immediately after his return to the Huntsville penitentiary. Delmas told the governor he had position await ing him in Seattle, and said that that while he did not deny his guilt, "in the face of death on the battle field little purifying flame sprang up in my heart, burning all the gar bage out of my life.
 Delmas was sentenced to five years imprisonment for receiving deposits fer San Angelo, Texas, bank after he knew it was insolvent. He es- capped in 1912, entered the British army and served until 1916, when he was discharged for wounds.
 Returning to San Francisco, Del mas was recognized and arrested and sent back to the Texas prison. In 1917, he asked the board of pardons to permit him to go to the battle front, and when this request was re- fused, he again escaped the rejoined the British forces.
 When discharged last March, Del mas went to Seattle and obtained work. He was again recognized by a detective, arrested and sent back to prison, with approximately half his term still unserved. He declared he has intended to lay his case before Governor Hobby as soon as he had established himself as firm desir- able citizen.
 "It affords me much satisfaction to grant this pardon" Governor Hobby said. 'Tf Delmas erred, he has wiped the stain away with service. No man can be criminal at heart and offer his life on the battlefield fer freedom and civilization"

Shipyards Strike
Not Expected Now

That unions composed Of ship
yard workers will not vote to strike
April under the referendum bal
loting now going on is the general
impression in labor and shipbuilding
circles about Portland. The settle
ment Of the Seattle strike, the men
having decided to resume their work
there this morning, after having been
idle since January 21, is said to have
had an effect on the voting in the
Portland district.
Z Another influence is meeting set
for March II at Washington, when
shipbuilders and international off
GERS of organized labor bodies, as
well as some district officers, will
gather to decide whether some kind
of an organization shall be main
talned to succeed the Macy board,
which is to end its labors with the
termination of the present scale on
March 81. The attitude OF labor Of
ficials is that the meeting should
open with no ultimatum being con-
sidered. They do not want to be in
the position of demanding certain
scale and working conditions and
threatening trouble If they are not
agreed to.
Naturally officials of the emer-
gency fleet corporation are desirous
of having employer and employees
agree, and the calling Of national
meeting is expected to be featured
by harmonious consideration of yarl-
GUS problems, such as have been ex-
perienced under the Macy system.
Whether wood shipbuilding here will
be represented at the meeting is to
be determined this afternoon at a
special session of the Oregon Wood
iShipbullders' association. 1t may be
those employers will decide to be
guided by the general decision at
Washington, as their part OF the
governments ship program is in the
wane. There is reason to expect
most of the steel shipyards to have
officials at the meeting, since their
work will be carried along for the
government during the remainder OF
the year.

Victory Loan
Contest Extended

Two weeks have been added to the
period of the Victory Liberty Loan
slogan contest. Instead of CLOSING
March 90 the final day will be April
is.
This extension of time was made at
the request of the Southern Califor-
mia Liberty Loan COMMITTEES, which
will make a special campaign to
arouse interest during the last three
weeks in the hope that good enough
slogans may be created to give South
ern California the distinction of win
ming all three of the cash prizes of
$50, $40 and $40.
The only limit In the contest is
the number Of words that can be
used in any slogan. Twelve is the
limit but the shorter the better de-
clares the Slogan Editor, who adds,
I'VE want a stirring battle cry that
will express the spirit of the country
in floating this last loan"
Here are a few of the thousands
that have been submitted:
Victory Bonds Bind Victory"
Don't Quit Because the Kaiser
Did"
"Are You Grateful? Loan"
"What is Victory Worth to You"
Prosperity for Posterity."
"You Ordered Victory. Pay the
Price,
"Thhs Loan is the Last. Let's
Finish 1t Fast"
"If You Don't Like Our Victory
Loan, Try Germany's."

the Commission will make special
effort to assist these men in securing
positions in the Government
service rather than to leave upon
them the entire burden of finding
suitable vacancies.
A man who is eligible for rein

ply to any office or establishment
of the Government under which he
desires reinstatement, but, II he pre-
fers, he may request the Civil Ser

MONEY-SAvERS FORALL
These Durable Soles Cut
Shoe Bills Down

"For use around cement plants and
similar places where rough materials
grind down soles quickly, recommend
Neolin Soles. They resist wear sur
prisingly. After working around the
clinker department long enough to
wear out two pairs OF ordinary soles,
my Ne0lin Soles are still as good as
new," writes A. F. Miller, superintend-
ent Of The Peninsular Portland Cement
Company plant in Jackson, Michigan.
It is remarkable how tough and dur
able Neolin Soles are. They are made
so by Science-comfortable and water
proof, too. They come on new shoes
in many styles for men. women, and
children, and are available everywhere
for re-soling. Wear them, and cut
your shoe bills down.
Neolin Soles are made by The Good
year Tire & Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio,
who also make Wingloot Heels, guar
anteed to outwear all other heels.

The Salary Commission.

It IS fortunate that the legislative
appropriation bill was enacted despite
the jam in the closing hours Of Congress
that checked many important meas
ures, for this bill carries provision for
the joint commission on reciaasifca-
tion of government and District en-
ployes, and that body can, therefore,
get at its work without delay. Pro-
ceedings have already been begun for
a preliminary survey, and it is likely
that in q short time the commission
will have material for thorough study
Of the situation.
This is large task that has besn
assigned to the commission. Not for
many years has there been an attempt
to standardize services and salaries

Effect Of the Rent Law Ruling.

Judge StrasbuIger Of the Municipal
Court announces that he will take
cognizauce Of Justice Gould's ruling
that the salisbury act is unconstitu-
tional, it being the custom Of the lower
court to follow the decisions Of the
court Immediately above pending de-
cisiohs by the Court Of Appeals. This
signifies that, in order to gain protec-
ton under tho law, tenants against
whom custer proceedings are brought
and against whom judgments are rem
..dered by the Municipal Court on the
ground Of the nullity Of the Salisbury
act must take individual appeals if
they wish to contest further. To do
SO, Of course, they must give appeal
bonds and stand the costs. Thus, with
the ruling rendered yesterday accepted
by the Municipal Court, the burden is
shifted by that court from plaintiff to
defendant. Whether it will result in
a general movement toward increased
rentals remains to be seen. It is, how
ever, to be hoped that there will be
NO such movement immediately in
terms Of severe exactions upon those
who are not protected by leases. The
housing facilities Of Washington are
not adequate today, and the wholesale
disturbance Of landlord-tenant reia-
tions would cause serious hardship
and distress.

under the government, and in conse-
quence the service is full of inequai-
ties and anomalies and injustices. It
has come to light, for example, since
the commission started its tentative
survey, that in some cases chiefs of
divisions are getting less pay than some
Of their subordinates. In practically
every Office people doing the same
work, and with the same degree of ex-
perience and capability, are paid at
different rates. There is no uniform
ity between the departments. All these
conditions cause discomfort and feel
ing of injustice which is inimical to
good work.
It is chiefly hoped that as a result
of the commissions work will come
not merely an equalization rule, but
general advance in the salary scale to
bring the government service scale up
to the mark Of private employment in
all respects. In any case, the in
equaities resulting from the war emer-
gency should be smoothed out as speed
lily as possible, to give those who have
been on duty for the government for
long periods the benefit of the new
standard of compensation that was
adopted when the war compelled sud-
den enlargement Of the force.

known. The Photographer proposes a
coinage, Offering "supercentenarian"
as sufficiently descriptive.
If the original inquirer actually read
specifically descriptive word once
upon a time it is to be believed that
it will come to light, for q word that
really exists is never lost. But with a
professional photographer declaring
that no such word exists the chances
are that the word used in this con-
nection was itself coinage, possibly
"tercentenarian," a wrong usage, or
possibly some approximation devised to
cover the peculiar condition. Such re-
searches arc valuable, whatever the
result. They cause searching of the
dictionaries and that is always we'll
worth while. The average personal vo-
cabulary is limited, but it can be e1-
panded by systematic study and the
careful preservation and use of newly
acquired words. A word that is strange
to one and is never used after being
once seen does not become a part of
the vocabulary. Two or three uses Of
it will make it part of the working
equipment.
Word coinage is a natural process,
leading to the development and growth
of language. Philologists may demur,
but the tendency of man is to invent
to meet his needs, and the history Of
language is q succession Of innovations
and inventions to adapt to occasion.
Slang is perverted language and does
not materially contribute to the per-
marent development of speech. The
best and most expressive and suitable
terms that grow out Of slang coinage
survive and become fixed part of the
language. A coinage such as that pro-
posed in the present instance, if scien-
tifcally devised, may find acceptance
as an established "word," even though
it has no history.

The Missing Word,

An interesting discussion is in prog

A writer to this paper related how she
once read a word that applied to such
q person but had forgotten it and asked
for some one to supply it. "Tercente-
marian" has been suggested and re-
jcetcd, as meaning one who lives
through three full centuries--an OBJ
viols impossibiity. Now comes one
who, having consulted the chief lexi-
cographer Of ono Of the great diction-
ares, reports that no such word is
