KLEIN DENIES L.W.W.
EMPLOYED BY STATE
FOR HIGHWAY WORK

statements purported to have been
made by an indicted I. W. w. in Port
lana to the effect that rs per cent OF
N. men employed in road construction
wark in Oregon are members Of the
". w. are emphatically denied by
tba state highway department in a let
ter forwarded by Roy A. Klein, secre-
tarx of the commission, to Governor
olcott in reply to request for an ex-
nIanation of the charges which request
VA. made by Over-the-Top Post No.
81 Veterans of Foreign Wars, Port
land.
"To the best of our knowledge and
belief there are no 1. W. w. or others
Of a similar type employed directly ey
the state" Klein declares I'VE have
AT times been advised that certain con-
trsptors' construction camps have had
W. W. in them and whenever this
information has come to use we have
advised the contractors and usually
fina that the undesirables have already
baan driven out. The contractors have
shown a commendable spirit of Coop
GRAFTON in these matters"
Probably rs per cent of the employ
es in the engineering department are
returned service men. according to
Klein.
The suggestion made by the Port
land post to the effect that employ
ment be provided ex-service men in
road construction work through the
state undertaking this work on force
account has been tried out in Oregon
with very unsatisfactory results, Klein
states.
In an attempt to carry out the in
structions of the last legislature with a
view Of providing work for returned
soldiers sailors and marines, a camp
was established on the Columbia River
highway in north Morrow county,
Klein explains. Comfortable accom-
modations were provided but it was
found impossible to secure a sufficient
number of service men who wanted
that kind of work. only seven applying
for work at the camp after extensive
advertising of the fact that the camp
had been established to provide work
for the returned fighters
All contractors for highway con-
struction. it is further explained, are
required to. SO far as practicable, give
preference to honorably discharged
soldiers, sailors and marines in en-
ploying men on any state highway
work,

Before anyone could reply. Daisy
Greenwood spoke:
"If you don't mind, ! wish you

In the echoing OF her request by
swept over the singers face was

with a strength and sweetness OF

Arthur Paige felt a lump come
into his throat as he listened. He
had never heard another song that
went so straight to his heart. He
glanced at Daisy She was sitting
apart. her head bent, her hands
clasped. Arthur suspected that
there were tears in her eyes.
Cynthia stood stern and sphinx

He forced himself TO look at Bar

long enough TO note how the color

Do You Watch
Him CarUe :?

Carving at table is one of the
most characteristic things that a
man can do. 1t is the household art
where all his masterful attributes
are called into play. Fire-building,
furnace-shaking. and lawn-mowing
bring out his hopely attributes. but
carving is a broader test. Here is
a primitive art overlaid with a COM
pick technic: a pioneer act in a
dainty environment. For this kind
or thing a man should be allowed
the freedom of the wilderness.
EnVironed by the modern table,
cloth, he must be not only MASTER
ful but cautious; not so much fear
less as adroit.
The situation is a test not only of
the man but also of his relations
with his wife. When a married
couple feel equally responsible for
an act at which only one of them
can ohiciate, they are tempted to
exchange remarks. The most tact
ful wife yields sometimes to the
impulse to do little coaching
from the side-lines, and many hus-
bands have been known to respond
with few well-chosen words about
the knife. This happens sometimes
even when the husband is an artist
at his work, for the ideals Of two
artists will occasionally conflict
And even the model wife who
ignores the carving and engages
tho guests in conversation until the
worst is over will at times find her
SER clutching the table-cloth or
holding her breath at the critical
polnts-when the drumstick Is be-
ing detached from the second Joint,
for Instance, or when the knife
hovers over the guests portion Of
the steak. These two crises are the
great moment for the man who
carvcs.
In fact. you have not taken the
complete measure of man until
you have seen him carve both steak
and fowl. These two make totally
different demands upon the worker.
The chicken calls for sense Of
structure, versatile skill in
manoeuvring for position, and the
delicate wrist OF violinist. But
your true porterhouse calls for
shrewd judgment and clear-out de-
cisions. with no halfway measures
or reconsiderations at all. With the
chicken, you can modify, slice. COM
bine, arrange to best advantage on
the plate. With the steak, you
work in the nat and in one color:
every stroke must count. There
are men who would rather parcel
out the Balkans than map a steak.
