KEEPING AT IT.

While most people regard the
matter as more OF less of a joke
nevertheless the persons who are
interested in things scientific
continue to try and get messages
from other planets, and Mars in
particular. On dates that are
considered favorable because of
one reason or another, wireless
operators, ACCORDING to reports,
are sitting for hours at their in
struments trying to catch unu-
sual signals.
In August it is claimed Mars
will be closer to the earth than
it will be again for the next 500
years. Then a great attempt will
be made to receive and to send
messages and to establish some
sort of an exchange with Mars.
The whole thing sounds fantas-
tic and perhaps it is, but mans
attempts to accomplish what
seems to be foolish and impos-
sible have in many instances
brought forth facts that have
greatly added to the store of
knowledge for the world.

SAVE THE FORESTS

This is the time of the year
when the danger of forest fires
is at its height. From now until
the fall rains come those who
have occasion to go into the
woods, whether for berry pick
ing, camping, hunting or fishing,
or who travel along woodland
trails or who traverse highways
through the woods by auto
should be on their guard against
fire.
Officials are anxious that
those who seek the quiet of the
forests and who like to visit
quaint dells OF to linger along
creeks and brooks and rivers
should enjoy themselves to the
fullest extent. They have no OBJ
iections to camp fires and only
ask that fires be kept under con-
troll and that every party build
ing a fire see that it is fully ex-
tinguished before leaving. 1t is
simple request. Neglected
camp fires are one of the worst
sources of danger.
Smokers should not throw
matches carelessly to one side.
The simple rule of breaking a
match in two before throwing it
aside will do much to prevent
fires. No lighted cigar stub OF
cigarette butt should be tossed
away. They should be put out
before being left.
Surely these are not intoler-
able requests in return for tbs
privilege of enjoying the great
outdoors. Each individual car
do and should do his part. Let
those who go into the woods
practice a few simple precautions
and human lives and thousands
upon thousands of dollars worth
of property will be saved.

students. The Normal is receiving
only s1445 more.
Had it not been for thrifty and far
sighted administration, the three in
stitutions would long before now have
been turning students away. A pre-
war report of the United States Bureau
OF Education gave the average cost per
student per year at 1926 in the great
number of American universities and
colleges that entered into the calcula-
tion. At the State University this
year however, in spite of the rise in
prices, the cost per student is 5000,
and at the College $3.50. Even with
the new millage bill IA effect the cost
in Oregon would still be below the
average for institutions of similar
grade. The annual student cost at

pie. would still be $40 a year below
the annual student cost at a typical
r-oup of five agricultural schools in
the Middle West and the West-those
of Michigan. Iowa. Kansas, Indiana

the costs of the five colleges mention

 Eating Houso

Two cases were heard in police court this morning. that of Frank Roller of Hartford charged with operating motor vehicle without proper registration, and that of Mike Vito charged with drunkenness and refusing to pay for a meal in a local restaurant.
 Roller was arrested Monday after noon by Patrolmen William Strolls when he cut in from behind troll ley car at the corner of Hartford avenue and North street. The patrol
 man asked him for his license and for the cars registration. Roller ex- plaiued that 1t was not his car but one that was borrowed and he did rot know where the registration card was In court ho testified that the car belongs to man now in Maine on u vacation. He took it from scN- eraI other cars in the shop and drove it out without thinking of its regis tration card. He was fined S3 with out costs by Judge Alling.
 Mike Vito was drunk and went into a restaurant on Hartford avenue about 6:30 last evening. There he enjoyed two orders of pork but didn't pay for them. He left tho place still in debt to the proprietor who inn mediately notified the police and l caused his arrest. Patrolman O'Brien made the arrest at 32 Hartford avenue. The accused admitted his i guilt but said he had s10 bill in his pocket when he entered the eating place and when he looked for it the bill had disappeared. He said he hung | around instead of running away but left tho place later. Judgment was suspended upon payment Of costs and | Vito agreed to pay for his meal.

MAKES CLOCK THAT TALKS.
PhiladcIphian's Invention Amazcs His
 Dauchtcr's Callers

Philadelphia, July 2s.-A clock that speaks instead of striking is the invention of Vincent Pinto. He has it running in his home at 1924 South Eighth street.
 Pinto studied clockmaking in Italy, and with his 20-year-oid son, Joseph, completed the clock after is months hard work. At present the clock says at Ii o'clock at night:
 Eleven o'clock: time to go home"
 This was because Rosa, the 1s- year-old daughter. entertains many friends.
 The clock is about the size of a grandfather's clock. The works and case were all made by hand. Ac- cording to Mfr. Pinto, however. the mechanism may be condensed to fit into the case of an alarm clock. The clock is a 30-day movement. It can be made to call the hour, half or quarter hours. or all of them, with its phonograph mechanism and has chimes in addition.
