To the Editor:-I wish to sug-
gest the name "Rego," for West
Salem.
This word Is derived from the
word Oregon,and by dropping the
first and last letter you have the
word "Rego."
"Rego" would be different, cas-
lily remembered and easily spelled.
This name was suggested to me
by the sign on Murray Wade's

Rats With Kittens

Bloomington, ILL.,, March 16.-
By mothering two infant rats
with her new born kittens, Susie,
cat in the blacksmith shop of
Jack Crawford's. breaks down all
dous suppositions as to cats.
Last Sunday morning she added
four infant cats to the feline popu-
lation of the world. Soon after
ward, Lou White, a neighbor,
thinking to give Susie treat took
her to a nest where they were five
new born rats.
Instead of making a meal, Susie
started to purr and law down and
played with the strangers. How
ever, she remembered her own
waiting children and carried two
of the rats back to her family
home.

Diamond Lake
to Be Opened to
Auto Tourists

The Diamond Lake recreation
area will be improved and opened
to campers and tourists this year.
is the announcement just made
by G. ]. Buck, In charge of res
creational development work In
the Forest Service offices in Port
land.
According to Mr.. Buck a COM
plete development plan has been
prepared which calls for the COM
pletion of various road projects
making the area fully accessible
to motorists, as well as a new
road along the shores Of the lake,
also the construction OF a hotel
building, small cottages, store, gas
station and boats. Plans prepared
by the Forest Service call for i'm
provements requiring an invest
ment of some $4,000 to $4,000
and private parties will be en-
couraged to construct such I'M
provements this year. Under a
comparatively new federal law the
Forest Service is allowed to lease
lands for such purposes for a
period OF years. Sanitary con-
veniences will be added by the
Forest Service this year, says Mr..
Buck.
The entire east side Of the lake.
says Mr.. Buck. has been set aside
as a public forest camp, with
plenty of wood and water avail
able, In addition to the ever pre-
sent scenic attractions of the re-
gion.
Diamond Lake Is now reached

way over a branch road which
leaves this highway the Union
Creek Firest Camp and winds up
the main branch of Rogue River
to the high plateau ON which Dia-
mond Lake is situated. This road
was built in 1921 but the Forest
Service will widen 1t and better
the grades In places this year,
says Mr.. Buck. Another road Is
being built from Diamond Lake
directly south to the Crater Lake
National Park boundary, con-
Meeting with the Park road which
leads to the Crater Lake rim.

BY the Noted Author
IDAH M'GLONE GIBSON
Kitty's Day,

That was the first real love let
ter | had ever received. l cried
and l laughed over it and read 1t
and re-read it many times.
One moment l had a picture OF
Theodore Stratton sitting on the
floor in the hall, his head leaned
against the jamb of my door cry
ing like an overgrown boy-and
the next moment it was Theodore
Stratton on that stone seat in the
garden set" looking like a Greek
god, as he poured into my ears his
own love in the language of the
scenarist.
OF course | forgave him. 1 was
almost glad it happened so that /
could forgive him! What woman
in all the world would not forgive
man who showed her that he
depended upon her absolutely.
"Oh, I'm glad I'm young! I'm
glad I'm young! l want to give
him back all the youth that per-
haps he has frittered away. When
he looks into my eyes l want him
to forget all the years between,
forget that l am not his first
love-"
1t was thus dramatized myself
in my love and l had a perfectly
glorious time running up and
down the gamut of emotions.
When the poets have said that the
sorrows occasioned by love are ex-
quisite they spoke literal truth
but no one realizes this until time
has softened the sorrow and given
the right perspective.
l was very undecided whether
| should answer Theo's letter and
send it to his hotel or whether /
should wait until we went back to
the studio.
While was trying to make up
my mind what to do Kitty came
rushing In.
I'VE have an invitation to a
party this evening and I think
we had better go. Everybody in
the moving-picture colony is go
ing"
Where 1t is. Kitty? Who is
giving it?"
"Oh, you have never been at the
place and you Hun't know the
chap who is giving it but Bruce
Walters has beautiful studio
down on a side hill overlooking
Echo park. His parties are always
worth while"
is he in the movie profession. "
mo, He is an artist who makes
batik gowns and draperies for ac-
tresses and pictures. 1t is quite
the thing to be seen at Bruce's
and while he never has exceeding
ly wild parties yet it will be a
kind of eye-opener. 1t will be a
good thing to break you in grad
ually."
And then she stopped for she
noticed that l had been crying.
Haven't you been at the studio
today? What is the matter with
you, Virgie?"
II went over to the studio this
morning and we were dismissed
because Mr.. Stratton is too i'll to
work, They said that he had
caught very bad cold and was
threatened with pneumonia"
Pneumonia your grandmother!
Ted Stratton is just getting over
his toot. That's ALL!
'Oh, he has been over 1t some
time for he has written me a beau
tiful letter"
"of course he has, my dear.
They all do, And did you answer
it," queried sophisticated Kitty.
mo, l thought l would wait un-
til l saw him on the set."
Good Lord. Virgie! No one
would think you were so clever to
look at you. Where did you learn
never to put anything on paper?"
That was a new idea to ME but
I thought 1t best to change the
conversation so l asked:
What happened to you, Kitty?
You seem happier tonight than
usual after a day at the studio"
