WITHYCOMBE WOULD
AID QUAKE VICTIMS

Governor Withycombe was deeply
affected on learning of the awful loss
of human life due to the great earth
quake in Italy. The following state
ment was issued by him for publica-
ton:
'It is almost inconceivable that
further disaster should be visited
upon stricken Europe. 1 learn with
the greatest sorrow of the earth
quake visitation to Italy, and feel
that we of America, who are so for
tunate in our peace and our physical
comfort, should more than ever ex-
tend a helping hand and our sincere
sympathy to the poor people across
the Atlantic.
Whatever work may be organized
to aid Italy in alleviating the results
Of this fresh disaster, am sure that
the people of Oregon should cooper
ate to the fullest degree. If there is
anything that this office can do, it
will be done with the greatest en-
thusiasm."

HOW SHOT ARE MADE.
And Why the Pure Lead Has to Be
Tempered With Tin.

HUo why tuo Puro Soao mas TO Do
Tempered With Tin.
The manufacture OF shot, described
by o. G. Horn In Forest and Stream,
requires a high tower, perforated pan.
tank of water and tempered" lead.
Shot are made by dropping molten
lead from high point to the earth.
The lead forms into globules just as
the raindrops do when they fall from
the clouds. Ordinarily we do not real
lze that raindrops are little spheres.
but under the proper conditions they
freeze, and we have hailstones, which
may be called shot made Of Ice.
In the making of shot pure lead is
melted and mixed with temper"
that consists mainly Of tin, and then
poured into perforated pan or sieve.
The perforations vary according to
the size of the shot to be made.
A temper is mixed with the lead in
order to make the globules form when
the lead falls. If pure lead were used
it would fall in the form of little bars
instead of round shot
In order that the globules may have
plenty of time to form the lead must
fall long distance, and so towers are
built. The towers used to be made as
high as 200 feet and even more. but
modern towers are rarely over $50 feet.
The perforated pan into which the
molten lead is poured is at the top of
the tower, and the globules of lead fall
through the perforations into tanks of
water at the bottom of the tower. The
water cools them and also prevents
them from hattening out, as they
would If they fell on solid floor
From the water the shot go to steam
driers. After drying the perfect shot
are separated from the imperfect by
means of glass tables inclined enough
SD that the shot when poured on at one
end of the table, will roll to the other
end. At the farther end of the table
are two cutters side by side. The i'm
perfect shot roll slowly and with diff
Guilty, so that they have not enough
momentum to carry them beyond the
first gutter. The perfectly round shot
roll easily and swiftly, and when they
reach the foot of the table they jump
nimbly across the first gutter and land
in the second.
After separation the perfect shot are
polished by rolling in plumbago. and
workmen then put them in bags for
shipment or send them direct to the
cartridge filling department to be load
ed into shells.

IOWA GOVERNOR SEES
BROTHERHOOD OF MAN.

The Federation of the World, prac-
tical disarmament of the great pow
ers and long step forward for "the
brotherhood of man" are among the
probable results of the present Eu-
ropean war, according to Governor
George w Clark of Iowa in his in
augural address January IA.
Despite th gloom of the European
war, the governor prophesied that
mankind will be better for it in the
end. 1T is an appalling price to
pay" he said, "but beyond this world
war lies, in all probability, the death
of militarishm, the practical disarma-
ment Of the great powers of the
earth, the removal from the people
Of the crushing burdens of great arm
les and navies, the disappearance of
hereditary rulers and the entrance of
more perfect democracies."

HATS MADE AT NIGHT.

Sunshine Makes the Straw For Pana-
mas Too Brittle to Work.
Genuine Panama hats are made In
Ecuador to a larger extent than in any
other country, and the process of man.
ufacture is still not generally known.
The chief centers of the hat industry
in the order of their importance are
Monticristi and Jipijapa, in the prov
ince Of Manavi; Santa Rosa and to a
limited extent in Guayaquil and Gu
enca. Thousands of natives Of both
sexes are employed at weaving these
hats. The work is carried on from q
little after midnight to Z o'clock in the
morning, while the atmosphere is hu-
mid, for the straw becomes brittle dur
ing the day and cannot then be han
died.
After much preliminary preparation
the straw is very finely divided into
the required widths by the nail of the
little finger or thumb. A bunch Of
straw is bound In the middle and plac-
ed on the center of q wooden mold,
the straws arranged radially and equal
ly distant from each other in pairs.
The plating begins at the apex of the
crown and continues round and round
until the hat is finished, care being
taken that no straws are added while
the crown is being made. Other
straws, however. are added while the
brim and border are being formed. On
the degree of nicely with which the
straws are heightened depends the
beauty and durability of the hat
Should strand be broken 1t can be re-
placed and so plated as not to be no
hced.
The finishing touches are put on by
trimming the brim, edging the border
and neatly fastening all projecting
ends of the straws so as to be invisi-
bic. The hat is washed in clean, cold
water, coated with thin solution Of
gum and polished with dry sulphur

CUTTING DEAD TIMBER
OUT OF OREGON CODE

Senator Langguth of Multnomah
has the distinction of introducing the
shortest bill of the session to date
It provides that sections 1854 to
3163, inclusive. of Lords Oregon
Laws be and the same are hereby re-
pealed." This bill was introduced
by request of Secretary of State Oh
colt to eliminate dead timber" from
the codes. The sections enumerated
specify the emoluments OF sheriffs
and other county officers under the
fee system. All such officers are now
on a flat salary basis, But the sec
tions have remained in the codes and
new officers of counties frequently
are bothered on discovering them,
not knowing whether they are enti-
tied to fees and should follow the
procedure outlined. Languth said:
"a good part OF my work at this ses-
sion will be cutting dead growths out
of the codes"

ANTI-LOBBYIsT BILL
FAVORED BY COMMITTEE

Salem, Jan. 17.-Although the ju-
dietary committee has not yet pre-
pared a formal report on Representa-
tive Schuebei's anti-lobbying bill, its
members have agreed to recommend
its passage. This it is declared will
insure its passage in the house, and
If it is killed it will have to be either
by the senate or the governors veto.
The measure is drastic, requiring all
lobbyists to register with the secre-
tary of state. In registering they
must file a statement showing what
measures they are interested in and
whom they represent. After regis
tering it is permissible for them to
appear before the legislative commit
tees and argue for or against bills.
1t also makes 1t unlawful for them to
"buttonhole" members of the legisla-
ture, requiring that If they desire
to present arguments for or against
a bill to the member, they must sub
NIT them in the for moi printed
briefs. A similar bill passed the
house at the last session, but was
killed in the senate.

Farm Problems.
Y S. A. Lindsey, Authority on
Farm Economics.


1t is possible for money to be had
by farmers on good land security at
6 per cent and on non-perishable
farm products at 5 per cent. It is
only question of arranging the Sc
curity and in taking down the bars
which keep money from land and
crop securities. That there is no bet
ter security than good farm land and
non-perishable farm products all will
agree. The problem is to get the
man with the money and the farmer
with the security together
Money talks to such only as un-
derstand it's language. All one has
to do to secure cheap money is to
speak its language and go where it
is. Money has no home affections.
1t hunts security and interest rates.
The first thing one thinks of when
contemplating rural credits is where
is the money to be obtained. This is
an unwarranted uneasiness. Arrange
the security so it speaks the language
that money understands and it will
come

NEW SYSTEM OF TAX
PAYMENTS is URGED

Salem, Considerable interest
attaches to a bill changing the tax
laws. A leading provision is in re-
lation to tho amounts on which in
terest is to be charged in case of de-
linquencies. Two annual install
ments are provided, the first being
due May l and the second November
/. Under the present law the times
of payment are April l and Septem-
Der 1.
If the first half is not paid when
due it is made subject to the payment
of an interest penalty of per cent
until November 1, when the second
installment fells due. If not paid on
the second day of that month, all
unpaid taxes become delinquent, sub
ject to an interest penalty of 1 per
cent month. The bill further pro-
vides that taxes on personal property
become a lien against real estate.
Sixty days after delinquency GER
tificates OF delinquency may issue,
which are to be sold by the tax col
lector. These delinquency tax GER
tificates will draw interest at the
rate of Is per cent, the intention be-
ing to permit the taxpayer to settle
his Indebtedness at not excessive
rate of interest up to harvest season,
after which in the case of farmers
money will be available. The rate of
interest is made as high as compati-
BILE with fair treatment Of the delin-
quent taxpayer, in order to get peo-
pie to invest in tax titles.

QUEER LEGAcIEs TO MAN.
Such as the FurrOw In the Upper Lip
and the Appendix.

Such as the Furrow In the Upper Lip
and the Appendix.
Run your forefnger around the rim
Of each ear. You are almost sure to
find In one of them and quite possibly
in both tiny hard lump.
1t Is only relic of the days when,
lnnumerable hundreds Of centuries ago,
man was only one of the animals Of
the wild and had a pointed ear; like a
VOLTS or dogs.
What good is the little furrow that
runs down from the nose to the middle
Of the upper lip? None. But it, too,
has history. 1t is legacy from the
time when the human upper lip was in
two parts--a hare lip. like that of the
rat tribe. The split has healed up long
ago, but the new skin is so recent In
the history of the race that hair re-
fuses to grow on that furrow.
When a fly settles on you anywhere
can you serenely twitch that patch of
skin and shake him off? Probably not.
But once these old skin muscles, now
almost dead after centuries of clothes
wearing, were as active as those of a
horse. A few-a very few--people can
twitch their ears like dog and do so
instinctively when startled, and cases
do occasionally occur in which the
scalp can be moved at will
In one very interesting case mention
ed in medical books the man could
hurl books a couple of yards away
simply by twitching the muscles on
the top Of his head; but, generally
speaking, our skin muscles are even
more dead nowadays than our ear mus
cles. We've neglected them. The only
set still. In use are those we employ
when we want to raise our eyebrows.
The appendix is another thing we
could do quite well without. 1t is a
relic from old vegetarian days. 1t has
been workless ever since mankind start
ed meat eating and is apt to get in the
way.
The large intestine, too, is a thing
we really don't need nowadays. The
many coils of this long tube are, ac-
cording to the doctors. quite unneces-
Sary, now mankind has become n flesh
eating animal, and merely provide q
resting place for germs. Surgeons
have often cut out few odd coils and
stitched the ends together. We don't
really need to carry great intestine
about with MS.
Another thing we don't need much
nowadays is the instinct to walk on
hands and feet together. You think
walking upright the only natural way
for man? 1t isn't. If ever you have
to make your way along some, narrow
plank or some narrow, dizzy mountain
ledge. you will find the old instinct
strong in you-Philadelphia North
