warden. who was in southern Ore
gon on business, was called to ap-
pear in the federal court Monday be-
fore Judge wolverton to show cause

serve the food supply in southern

HUN CHAIN ROCKET
DANGER TO A|RMEN

Behind the British Lines In
France. Mar. 22.---t tCorrespon-
dsnce) One OF the Germans' Ia
vorise devices for opposing British
airmcn on night raids or reconnais-
ancc. Is barraee OF the so-cslled
"chain-rockets." These consist Of
long chains Of brilliantly luminous
balls. bright green In color. which
are sent upwards like skyrockeis In
slrinss Of 30 or 10. and shich hang
suspended In the sky for = consider
sble time. apparently for ths purpose
Of catching the airplans and settins
fire 10 u.
The rockets must be driven Up
with tremendous force, probably
from q gun. for the rise to height
Of 10000 feet. and can be placed
with great accuracy. The fIreballs
appear to be about foot In dame
ter. Al they rise they are often
caught by wind, and assume beau
tIful curves. Sometimes the whole
line topples and turns before Il van
ishes, floating for few moments
lIke q row Of strange green Japanese
lanterns. II IL supposed that the
balls are supported In the air by
small parachutes.
Thousands OF these chain-rocke cts
are fired by the Germans on every
occasion when the entente airmen
attack . town or camp. They are
part Of the regular shrapnel barragc
which Is used to hamper the attack
ers. but they give much more spec
tacular effect than the bursting
shrapnel. which only gives mos
mentary flash In the sky and then is
gone,
n a machine Is caught by a search
light. hundreds OF the chain-rocketa
are strsightway sent up towards Il,
They make a remarkable spectacle
as they are seen climbing up the
sky and passing one by one across
the beams OF light, and finally ap-
pearing in their appointed station In
tho upper darkness.
British airmen declare that the
sensation OF having these chain-
rockets fired at them is rather
pleasant than otherwise. It lis dii-
ncult to believe that anything so
fantastic, beautiful and fairy-like,
can be. really dangerous. On 9
cloudy night. II is said, nothing Is
pleasanter than to float over the
rolling clouds and to watch the
green chain-rockets pierce the mist
here and there, casting a weird ra-
dance over the mountains and val
leys of cloud-land.
In the midst OF a really vigorous
barrage. the chain rockets thread
the skies In scores of fiery chains
floating past the invading machine
on every side, leaving behind them
thin trains OF scented smoke.

 Complaints were made by residents Of Black Rock, BrookIawn and the extreme north and east end sections, Tn regard to the locations of the sta Ions, the people claiming that by the tune the ice has been hauled 25 or 50 blocks in a hot summer sun in the conveyances possible to the aver age household, it will be time to start back again after another piece.
 The prices and locations of the ice stations recently were approved bv the dealers, the mayor and the food adm1nistration,s but comment yester- day among the residential sections of Black Rock the Brooklawn section and the extreme north and east ends of the city is far from complimentary over the scheme.
 The stations are located as follows: Beardsley Park ice houses, Glenwood avenue and Hawthorne street; Meadow street and Housatonic ave- nue, KnoWlton street and East Wash ington avenue, 1925 Seaview avenue, Singer avenue and Kiefer street and Laurel court.

 'The available supply of sugar makes it necessary 60 limit our con- sumption to three pounds per person per month and the situation will be materially assisted if householders will limit their purchases to small amounts.

HEALTH BOARD IS GETTING RESULTS
 IN ITS CAMP A|GN

The officials of the Health Depart ment are beginning to see the result of their activities in the decreased death rate from contagious diseases. Scarlet fever especially shows a marked decrease, as there has been only one case reported as against 3 last year. The work of the school nurses is mainly responsible for the results, as they detect sore throats among the children, send them home, and follow up the cases until the ex- act trouble is determined. Preventa- tive measures are taken and much trouble is averted.
 The restaurants come in for their share of attention, and the inspect ors have been putting in some busy days in which they have condemned canned goods and destroyed cracked cups.
