FORMER SALEM GIRL
A new ORLEANS COP

Miss Bertha Doris, formerly parole
officer attached to the Oregon indus
trial home for girls, is now in charge of
one of the departments of the New Or
leans police force, according to word re-
ceived here.
Miss Doris, who is graduate of the
University of Oregon, and who later re-
ceived her M. A. degree in sociology
from the same institution, became police
matron in Eugene after leaving school.
She gave up that position to accept
the one which brought her to Salem.
Since Miss Doris has been in New
Orleans she has been in charge of police
cases affecting women, which she en-
deavors to handle wherever possible
without making them matter of police
record. In 10 months she has had AIS
office interviews with women in trou-
Bile, and together with her first assistant
has made III calls and investigations.
They have settled out Of court 121 cases
which otherwise would have resulted in
arrests. thereby blocking the probable
ity of reform.

LOCAL COUPLE HOME
FROM EXTENDED TRIP

Mr.. and Mrs. G. E. Schuneman are
home from an automobile camping trip
of three months in which they drove
TIP miles covering IL states.
Carrying 6, tent, cot, bedding, camp
stove and other camping utensils, they
spent most of the nights out in the
open and come home loud in their praise
Of a number of cities which have made
m effort to please the great auto travel
ing public.
To attract this tourist trade, many
towns have laid out ample camping
grounds, Mr.. Schuneman said, providing
places for camping in the shade with
electric lights, wood, water, gas or cleo
tric stoves, and even shower baths free
and stationary wash tubs. In response
to the efforts of these cities to bring
the TOURIST traffic. Mr.. Sehuneman said
the good word was passed along and
tourists made it point to reach these
cities for the evening camps.
The four of over 1000 miles included
q visit to Yellowstone Park and to Cody,
the home of Buffalo Bill. At Council
Bluffs viist was made to Mrs. Schune-
man IS relatives. Their travels then car
ried them through st. Joseph, Kansas
CITY, st. Louis and at Nashville, Tenn,
where visit was made with sIh-
Echuneman s relatives. On their return
visits were made in Louisville, KY, In

Theo. KarIe, Here Tonight,
Compared To Mccormack

Once in while a critic says some
thing and strikes real, human touch.
The criticism below is evidently an eff
fort on the part of the critic to "reg.
ister' an emotion and must not be tax
en- too seriously. We know that it will
please and amuse our good friend John
Mccormack when he sees it.
We do not agree with the critic in mis-
comparing Karle to the greatest box of
flee attraction that this country has ev-
er known in concert. We only hope
that Karle may reach one-half the stat
ure of the great Irish tenor, when he
appears at the opera house tonight.
The following is from the Bulletin,
Walla Walla, May 10, 1919:
"Last night Theo Karle gave the
third and last concert of the Blue Noun
tain Music Festival of Walla Walla, be-
fore an intensely appreciative audience
that filled the Keylor Grand theater.
Mr.. Karle came heralded by the local
management as the American McCor-
mack, but the audience went away won
dering if Mccormack had not better be
named the Irish Theo Karle. No such
concert singing was ever heard in this
town. In volume, control and feeling,
Mr.. Karle is incomparably the greatest
tenor that ever visited Walla Walla.
From the first bars of the opening pr-
citative, "Deeper and Deeper Still'' to
tht last notes of the final encore, the
audience sat enthralled by the art of
the singer, but it took the equisite rem
dition of Little Mother of Mine to
move the audience to tears

PACIFIC COAST
EXPERIENCING
GOOD BUSINESS

San Francisco, Sept. 29.-The Pacific
coast is experiencing period of great
prosperity, judging from the report of
the twelfth federal reserve bank, COW
ering business conditions and the agri-
cultural situations in the states-o of Ari-
zona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Ore
gon, Utah and Washington.
Cuisines conditions in the twelfth
district during the past month have
been characterized by activity in man
nfacturing, and increasing activity in
nearly every line Of wholesale and re-
tail trade, the report states.
|'Retailers report a considerable in
crease in the value of sales over the
same period in 1918 while wholesalers
report insufficient stock to meet de-
exceptionally good. However, some hes
itancy is reported in the placing of or
ders for future delivery for fear that
the failure to provide the necessary
credits in this country for foreign buy
ing may bring about a resale in domes-
tic trade of goods originally contract
ed for export
The following is summary of the
bank 5 report:
There is a strong demand for build
ang materials, it being estimated that
buildings projects in California alone
will call for more than 800, 100000
worth of cement. The building OF
homes is now about equal to pre-war
activity, and even Greater in some COM
munitics Due to a shortage of mechan-
les the failure of transportation to sup
ply materials, the demand for homes
cannot be met in some parts of the dis
trict.
The grain harvest, with the excep-
tion of corn and rice, has been practic-
ally completed throughout the district
The heavy crop OF apples in the
states of Washington and Oregon is
now well under way at prices which
will yield the grower approximately
1925 a box, as compared with So for
last years crop.
California mills are operating at full
capacity, but there is slackening de-
mand for lumber in the northwest.
Range cattle and sheep have come
through the summer in good condition
although feed was getting low priol
to the recent rains in many parts Of
the district. Reports show there is suf
ficient har in al parts of the coast
district to carry stock through the win
ter.
Activity in coast shipbuilding con
tinues, although some yards are grad
ualy reducing their forces.
Labor conditions have reached q
atuoorlv normal stntlls - short Ue
of skilled workers is quite general, and
the demand for unskilled laborers is
somewhat in excess Of the supply.

ll76 EX-SERV|CE men
ASK EDUCATIONAL AID

A total of 1l76 soldiers, sailors and
marines have filed applications with the
secretary OF state IS office for the privi-
ilege OF participating in the benefits Of
the solalcrs EDUCATIONAL aid bill ana,
Judged by present indications his mum
Der is expected to reach 1000 before the
end of the school'year. The applications
so far received are divided among 4S
educational institutions, public and pri-
vate, the Oregon Agricultural college
heading the list with total of 469 sig
nifylng their preference for this school.
. 1t does not seem to be generally un-
derstood even yet that those who did
hot get out of the student army training
corps are not entitled to the benefits
provided by this law,' stated Sam A.
Kozer, deputy secretary of state in dis
Ieussing the applications received by his
office. The benefits extend only to
those who were regularly enlisted or in.
Quoted into service and who saw scrv-
ice whether home Or abroad. Further
! it is the accepted view of the law at this
time that its benefits are available only
to those who may desire to pursue a
course of study which shall be helptus
in the gaining of livlihood, whether it
be literary, professional or mechanical,
and that the study of music, either in
istrumental or vocal, is not considered
pursuing a course Of study as the law
is generally understood. Again the im-
preston seems to be abroad in some cases
that one who is entitled to the benefits
of the law may assign his right to some
person and the assignee pursue course
of study and receive the benefits there
of in his stead. This is not the case. The
benefits of the law are open only to
those honorably discharged soldiers, sail
ors and marines who do not come within
the exception therein provided and who
by physical attendance at some institu.
tion of learning in the state, pursue a
course of study therein.

IBeginning tomorrow night, Tues.
30. The Howard Foster Players will
return to the Bligh thea er presenting
for three nights only, the great police
court drama, 1.-THE Third Degree. -
This play is so well known by the rep
utation it gained during its long metro
politan run, that it needs little expla
nation to introduce it to the people of
Salem.Suffiee to say it is an exposition
of the methods formerly used in police
courts to extract confessions from sus
pected criminals. These methods were
carried to such an extreme that hypnot-
ic influence was resorted too to get
the desired confession. "The Third
Degree was the first dramatic at
tempt to expose the cruelty and injus-
tice of the methods and was instru
mental in bringing about the reforma-
tion that later took place.
But it is not to be supposed that the
play deals only with the social and re-
form problem. 1t has beautiful story
of young wife struggling to save her
husband from the electric chair. He is
a victim of "The Third Degree" and
the manner in which she builds up his
defense forms the gist of the play. Nor
lis it without comedy. Every tense sit
uation is relieved by the splendid and
pointed comedy injected just at the
right time.
The Foster Players will be remem
bered as having filled three nights
engagement in that great farce comedy
"The Bottle Baby" They made an
instantaneous hit, and in "The Third
Degree they will have further oppor-
