LIONS TOLD HOW
TO HANDLE BOYS

At the luncheon today of the
Salem Lions club held at the Mar
ion hotel, Chester Lyon, owner of
the Big Brother farm, Lebanon,
and now engaged in work in Port
land dealing particularly with the
boy problem, struck the keynote
when he said: "The way to raise
children is to use firmness with
love. You would be surprised to
know the number of parents that
are admitting to me that their boy
at the age Of IA to II years is a
problem to them and they don't
know how to handle him"
Mr.. Lyon is also assistant TO
Judge Jacob Kanzler Of the court
Of domestic relations and gives
great deal Of his time to the pre-
venting of delinquency before the
lads fall and are taken to the
juvenile court.
"The average age Of the boys
that are brought into the juvenile
court is IL years. A number Oh
these boys are but 6 and IL years
old who got their ideas from the
wrong kind Of moving pictures"
After a detailed outline Of his
work in Portland he told the way
in which the farm is run. "Wnen
the boys comes to the farm we
never doubt him but KEEP our eyes
open. We never whip the children
but appeal to their reason and
At the same time keep cool our
selyes 80 that we can reason. the
| boys understand that when we say
thing we mean It and the way
they respond to the treatment Is
fine"

Has Feared for Throne.

The sultan has been greatly ex-
ercised over his status since the
action Of the Turkish nationalist
assembly at Angora early this
month voting to deprive him OF
his civil authority and declaring
the caliph or religious head OF
Islam would hereafter be selected
from the imperial house by vote
Of the grand national assembly.
In the face of the filtration OF
nationalist military elements in
to Constantinople and the knowl-
edge that the Angora authorities
would eventually be In full con-
troll in the Turkish capital, the
sultan and his advisers have been
frankly at sea as to the proper
course for him to pursue. The
bulk Of his guard went over to the
nationalists, and Constantinople
dispatches have pictured him vir-
tually at the mercy of the Kemal-
lists should they decide to make
descent in force on his palace.
Motives Political.
Political motives may be read In
some quarters into the flight OF
the sultan on British warship.
Great Britain concededly has
strong motives for seeing that no
harm comes to the caliph. in view
of the many millions Of mussel-
man subjects within her domain
many Of whom have given indica-
tions Of disagreement with the ac-
ton of the Turkish nationalist,
disputing the power Of the Turks
alone to take action affecting all
Islam.
The question Of the sultan's
status, too, is likely to come up at
the Lausanne conference about to
open.

HOSPITAL TO
Be FINISHED
IMMEDIATELY
Contractor Instructed To
Resume Work; Need
$4,000 To Complete Big
Institution.

Work on the new Salem hos
pital, discontinued last spring for
want Of finances, Is to be resumed
again next week. This decision
was reached at a meeting of the
board OF directors yesterday fol-
lowing a canvass Of the money
raised during the drive for $685.
900 launched recently.
OF the S25, 200 needed to COM
plete the project $4,000 has been
subscribed and the board, in view
of the emergency need for hospital
facilities here, has authorized the
contractor to resume work. The
unsubscribed $4,000 will be raised
as the work progresses.
Need Paid Pledges.
AS the new work is pushed
along 1t will be necessary for the
board to call in the pledges Of
funds already made in order to
meet the bills for materials and
labor.
The decision to start work at
once was reached in the face OF
the evident need for immediate
and modern hospital service,
which has been accentuated by
the rapid growth Of the commun-
ity during the past year.
"This hospital is yours, every
body's, belongs to all Of us" said
II. w. Meyers, manager, this
morning. Every resident Of Sa-
lem and Marion county is share
holder and benefits, perhaps not
directly, but through business
channels, from the project.
Project Important.
"When, this work in the inter
est Of humanity is in operation 1t
will mean more to this commun-
ity than can be expressed in mere
words. This modern hospital will
centralize standard facilities and
tend to make Salem a center foi
medical and surgical research.
Salem owes a moral obligation
to the state at large, as she is the
beneficiary to the extent Of public
buildings and millions of dollars
in appropriations expended by th'
state of Oregon. Let Salem ex
press her appreciation by an ac
tual deed in building this needed
institution of recognized standards
to give to the stranger within our
gates the care in case Of need. ("
Subscriptions to the hospital
fund should be made in the form
Of checks and mailed to H. w

KANSAN CONSTRUCTING
 "FLIVVER OF THE AIR''

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept. 12. - What may some day be the 'flivver of the air"-the smallest airplane in the United States-is under construc- tion in Kansas City and is expected to be launched within thirty days.
 The "baby biplane" is being built by c. c. Melton and " E. Ferguson in a shop in East Fifteenth street.
 When completed it will weigh only 475 pounds. It will seat one passen' ger and will cost about $500. It will be thirty horsepower, a reconstructed Ford engine furnishing the power. It will have a speed of seventy miles an hour.
 Curious crowds daily throng the shop to inspect the tiny airplane, which has been christened "Melton's Houpizine."
 Every man his own pilot" is Mel tons motto.
 Melton said if the plane works satisfactorily there will be "so many of them flying arund that air police, men will be needed
