Of A. DeJardin's store in this city
early Friday morning, burglars
Removed bolt which served to
'gasten the back door and effected
entrance to the store room.
The plunder taken consisted of
uGmerous pairs of shoes, watches,
flashlights, and other articles. A
few pennies left in the cash reg
lister were also found to be miss
ing. AS near as can be learned
the shoes stolen were No. s. This
was determined by the empty box

he thinks that $50 will probably
rover the loss, but he is unable to

Storm Damage
General Between
Salem and Aurora

Aurora, Ore, Dec. 13.- Some
of the oldest inhabitants of this
vicinity state that the wind and
rain storm which prevailed here
nearly the entire day Friday and
FRIDAY night, was the worst the
country has ever experienced.
While minor injury was done to
property by the severe gale, no
real damage resulted. An old
landmark across the Pacific high
say from the abandoned flag sta
4ion south of town, which had
HtO0d in a tumbled-doWn condi
tion for several months, was fin
5shed by the heavy gale Friday
night and pieces of the old barn
were carried by the wind several
hundred yards. Telephone, tele-
graph and electric poles are down
in all directions from Aurora, and
the service was crippled for some
time. All along the highway be-
tween here and Salem the effects
Of the storm is marked by damag-
ed out buildings, fallen trees and
poles. A heavy doWnpour OF ram
prevailed during most Of the day
and streams in this vicinity were
on a rampage. Mr.. Robinson, man
ager of the electric power sys-
tenn for several towns in this part
of the valley, states that damage
sustained by his company cannot
be estimated at this time, but it is
quite heavy. The power system
and the telephone system between
here and Molalla are said to have
been hit hard. The lines run
through a timbered section of the
country and are down in many
places. Work of restoring the
service was commenced early Sat
urday morning.

ENTIRE Town JOINS
IN BIRTHDAY PARTY
Seat Pleasant Honors Twenty.
First Year of Francis
Van Rueth.

Seat Pleasant, Nd, the quiet little
village just beyond the District, never
heard as much noise in it's history.
as on Monday night, when virtually
the entire population turned out to
celebrate the twenty-first birthday of
Francis Van Reuth, son of F. A. Van
Reuth, Of the Washington Chamber
of Commerce.
The town hall was crowded from
the time the celebration began un-
til early in the morning. Those who
were unable to attend. because they
had to work, had difficulty in keep
ing on their jobs. Frequently they
would find themselves patting time
with their feet, or executing a step
to the strains of jazzy dance music
which came out through the open
doors and windows of the hall.
The Hopwood Jazz Orchestra was
on hand early. Mr.. Van Reuth,
senior. acted as floor manager and
saw that no one was without a part
ner for each dance. Everyone was
to make noise-horns, rattlers. bells.
etc, and they didn't have to be told
to keep them in action all the time.
Mr. Van Reuth, Junior. made the
principal address of the evening, and
returned thanks for enough ties,
socks and wearing apparel to start
mems furnishing store.
Mr.. Van Reuth, Junior, received his
education in the District public
schools, and at st. Johns College. At
the beginning of the war, he enlisted
in the navy, and was promoted to
yeoman, third class. He spent four
teen months overseas, during which
time he visited England, Scotland
Ireland, and Wales, returning to this
country to receive his discharge.
He left this morning for PhiladeI-
phia, where he will enter the Govern
ment service.

1t is only through an act of Con-
gress that the statutory employees of
the District can receive increases in
salaries. They realize that should
the per diem employees receive in
creases equal to those to be given the
navy yard workers, District foremen
in many instances will not receive
as much pay as their subordinates.
The statutory employees do not want
the present inability of the Commiss
toner's TO increase their pay to be an
obstacle in preventing the per diem
workers getting a better wage scale.
The new wage scale for the navy
yard workers will be reported by the
navy yard wage board tomorrow. 1t
will be forwarded to the District
Commissioners who will give il con-
sideration in adopting a new wage
scale for the per diem employees OF
the District
The fact that all of us can not
get an increase at this time should
not stand in the way of some of us
getting it," states George A. Howe.
acting president OF the Federal EN-
ployes Union, a statutory employe in
the division of weights and measures
or the District. in a letter to the
Commissioners today.
so we are renewing our request to
the commissioners in behalf of the per
diem employes-namely. that they be
granted increases corresponding to
the Navy Yard rates as fixed by the
report of the Navy Yard Wage Board
which is due tomorrow, and in view
OF which the commissioners have
stated that they will review our per
diem scale.
But we are also making a request
In behalf of the statutory employees
which will eliminate anything that
might be termed unfairness so far as
1t Is legally possible to do so-namely,
