of the most brilliant affairs ever
given in Salem, calling forth
large assembly of representative
women throughout the state. The
representatives chamber was elab-
orately decorated for the event.
Hanging greenery with faint
tinges of rec was artistically
twined about the chandeliers,
falling in graceful lengths from
above. The windows were screened
with the same greenery and bas-
kets of fern were placed upon the
sills. The desk of the presiding
officer was a bower of greenery
and spring blossoms and baskets
of pink potted primroses were
placed in profusion about the en-
tire place. Flags, patriotic em-
blems and d. A. r. insignia were
used conspiciously about the room.
The setting was indeed worthy as
a background for the beautifully
gowned women who were present
during the evening. The program
presented during the evening was
splendid in every detail and each
number was the inspiration of re-
peated applause.
At the conclusion of the pro-
gram visitors were given an OPP
port unity of meeting the disting-
uishded guests. The following
women were in the receiving line:
Mrs. S. c. Dyer who introduced
the guests to Mrs. u. S. Shipley,

REVEAL THEIR ARMY TRAINING
When a Crowd Is Waiting to
Be Served.

Army training still mahlfests itself
in civilian life, and former soldiers
automatically fall INTO line when they
must wait to be served. In the army
the men spent a great deal of their
time waiting in line for mess, drawing
stuff from the supply sergeant and a
dozen other purposes. -.
The old army training revealed IT.
self strongly during the recent hot
spell at the Brooklyn Central Y. NJ.
c. A., when apparently most of the
10000 members sought to take advan-
tage of the swimming pool, Crowds
Of young men stormed the locker
rooms each evening. The ex-service
men set the example by lining up and
taking their turns to reach the gate.
As each elevator disembarked its load
the former soldiers automatically went
to the rear. Younger men who had
not had this training and sought to
edge in far up the 1.-The were promptly
pulled, out and sent to their station.
No ex-sevice man who has stood in
line to draw pair ofssocks or get a
mess kit full of ''slum" will permit
anyone to get ahead of him.

Varying Strength Of Sunlight.

There is practically no such thing
as overlighting, writes ]. H. Kurlan-
der, in describing for the General Sci
ence Quarterly series Of tests made
by the lighting service department of
the Edison lamp works. He adds: I'm
vestigation of places which are said to
be overlighted will usually show that,
if anything, they are glaringly under
lighted" >
These tests showed that sunlight in
an open field measures S,000-foot can
die power (Which means that it gives
the illumination that would be given
by 5000 candles foot distant). Sun
light in street between buildings
measures 3000-fOot candles. Shadow
in a street between buildings measures
800; under tree in the open 800. The
light on an Office desk next to south
window has an intensity of 110-foOt
candles; one ten feet in, 70, and one
IS feet in, 80. At inside benches be-
tween two exposures only 20.

ACCUSED SLAYER Of
WOULD Be
JUDGED BY PRIESTS

Redwood City, CAL, Sept. 10
William A. Hightower, itinerant ba-
ker and casual laborer, charged with
the murder of the Rev. Patrick E.
Heslin, a Catholic priest of Colma,
Cal, protested his innocence from
the first and maintained that he
would be willing to hawke a full jury
of priests sit in judgment on him.
The killing of the priest developed
one of California's most notable
murder cases.
Father Heslin was called from his
home at Colma, a suburb of San
Francisco. about nine o'clock on the
night of Aug. by a muffled stran-
ger who said he wanted the priest
to administer the last sacrament to
dying man. The two rode away in
small automobile.
The following morning Miss Marie
Wendell, the priests housekeeper,
notified the police of his failure to
return, and search was begun. Miss
Wendell later identified Hightower as
the man who had. called for him.
The day after the priests disap-
pearance the Right Rev. Edward j.
Hanna, archbishop of the Catholic
Archdiocese of San Francisco, receiv-

ransom of $4,000 for Father Heslin,
and saying that he would be killed

This King Worried
Over Mineral Find
(By Associated Press)

Papeete, Tahiti, Sept 15-The
king of Rurutu, one of the Austral
group southwest of here in the
South Seas, is troubled by the dis
covery of valuable minerals on his
island.
The natives of the Austral Islands
do not want white people among
them, and they put every obstacle
possible in the way of Europeans
who would settle there. They own
their own .schooners and bring their
island produce to Papeete from time
to time, and carry back with them
such supplies as they need, thus they
avoid frequent visits of white mems
schooners.
They make no secret of their aver
sion and say openly that they do not
want white men to come on any err
rand whatsoever.
While Rurutu is part of the colo
ny owned by France the government
of the island is still in the hands of
the hereditary king of Rurutu who
directs the affairs Of his people SUBJ
ject to the veto of the Governor
General of the colony at Papeete.
The old king has resented the
threatened exploitation of his island
and has attempted to apply the prin-
ciple that concession given is not
valid in his dominion.
