System
OF Auto Fees Is
Plan of Dennis

An increase of $780,S60 in reve-
nues from automobile licenses fees
IN Oregon couid De obtained by the
use oI d weignt classification in
stead of one based on horsepower,
q. B. Dennis of Carlton, YamhiIl
county, told the joint senate and
house roads and highways commit
ices when he presented his scheme
Izor such a change. The subject
was given extensive discussion and
1aken under advisement.
Dennis plan would provide for
1t1e arbitrary classification of au-
xomobiles in Oregon into seven
classes, using the Ford as the low
est, and placing ii on a fifteen dol
.tar license fee basis, just as it now
pays.
The second class would include
fhe Chevrolet, Maxwell and Over
lands cars at a license of $24. There
were 1880 of these registered in
n $40. Under the weight classifica-
zion the increased revenue would be
S177,75O.
The third class, at a S33 rate,
would be the Allen, Brisco, Cleve-
land, Crow -Elkhart, Dodge, bort,
Dixie Filler, Essex, Franklin, Hup-
mobile and Monitor of which 1856
Were registered last year, increase
in revenue would be $12712G.
Class four, at a license rate of
344, would give an increase of
$267,S97, and would. include the
Auburn Beauty, Buick, Chalmers,
Chandler. Elcar, Elgin, Jordon,
Mitchell, Moon, Nash. Oakland,
Oldsmobile. REQ, Studebaker, Velie
and WHY'S knight of which 1881
were registered last year.
The fifth class, of which 2743,
were registered last year would
bear a license fe of $51. 1t would
1nclud the Apearson, Case, Hudson, |
King, Maibohn, Paige, Premier, |
STANDARD and stephens. The in
crease in revenue would be s42,-
6s4.
Glass sx, with a license fee of
$50, and of which 1895 were reg-l
fstered last year, would provide, at !,
"a $50 license fee, an increase of
-'SHuV VI 900 q. II would in-
Nelude the Cadillac, Cole, Kissel Kar
Feerless, Marmon and Stutz. +
The seventh class, with a license
ice OF $SS, would include only the
Pierce-Arrow, of arch $153 were
registered, and this rate would give
an increase of $5129.
Dennis explained that the weight
instead OF horsepower basis for H.
saense fee is now In use In five
states and appears to be working
aatisfactorally. He pointed out the
anequality of the present system of
horsepower classification, showing
1nat many high-priced cars are
saying the same rate at present as
= charged the Ford, the lightest
anu most inexpensive of cars used.

Work Done By
Red Cross In

homes, hospitals, the state peniten-
tiary and state hospitals, and lent
assistance in some way to 969 fam
lilies.
Fourteen classes in home nurs-
ing have been organized in POLK
and Marion counties, the enroll
ment totaling over 200 students.

ter shows the wide scope over
which its work has extended the
last twelve months. In the case On
a Young girl money was advanced
so that she might enter pusllleSS
college, is one Of the items, while
another tells about the expenditure
of s225 for the relief of a family
not long in Oregon which had been
especially unfortunate. Still an
other tells about a soldier who had
his leg broken after his discharge
and had his hospital expenses paid
by the Red Cross, while a youth
stranded through no fault of his
own, was advanced the money to
return to his home in a distant
state.

Everything has not gone smoothly with the allies since the closing of the war and the joint duty was undertaken of carrying out the peace terms There have been the differences of opinion that have threatened serious results, there have been cases where one or the other Insisted upon something that did not meet the approval of all the others. But throughout it all there has been recog- mixed the importance of standing as firmly together as they did during the war and whatever may have been the disputes and threatened breaks they end ed by reaching an agreement The dif- ference were compromised and harmony that is so vital under those conditions prevailed.
 That is, such has proved to be the case up to the time the Sllesian question loomed up. But that ia no bigger than the reparations questions and there is no reason why the allied nations cannot get together in regard to plan of set tlement concerning that matter as well as anything else. In the first place there must be the disposition and 1t is inter- estfng to note that Great Britain and France are said to be making progress toward the formulation of a common pol icy concerning Silesia
 It will indeed be unfortunate if there continues to be the delay in the set tleusnt of that question that there has been regarding other matters which rest with the allies to adjust. It was thought that wise rlaH! sf settlement had been

 Bulging Brows.

First of all, what is bulging brow?
 It's not merely a high or large fore head. It's not, in fact, a bulging "brew" at all, for this type of head viewed in profile, is quite flat at the eyebrows, with the bulge in the forehead above them.
 If you want to go into fine distinctions of character analysis you will look to see just where the greatest prominence Of that forehead is located, whether it Is just above the brows or further up toward the scalp. But the present dis eussien win be confined to the general significance of the bulging brow.
 Under certain circumstances the huig- ing brow is sign of executive ability and leadership. Under others it is the mark of the skilled detail worker.
 Prominent-browed people do not be- long to the class of pioneers in practical ity' though they may, depending upon other signs of mental makeup, be placed In the category of pioneers in theory
 Their skulls, so to speak, form more of a barrier between their brains and the outside world and they are less keen of observation than the average person They are, in short, inclined to be dream CTS. persons of constructive imagination
 Their judgment is apt to be peculiarly sound when they take plenty of time to 1t, but when they attempt hasty decisions they run unusually heavy risks of getting themselves into hot water. If you've got this, kind of forehead you'll get much further on in the world if you take plen- ty of time and thought for your impor- tsnt decisions.
 ReeeSds show, however, that in mat ters of detail and routine. people with bulgins brovs, as a rule, acquire great CT skill and speed.

THE GREEK ADVANCE.

In their war upon the Turkish nation alists the Greeks have endeavored to strike hard, gain points of advantage and cripple the enemy through an early and heavy blow that would either bring about a surrender or produce results that would make it possible to negotiate favorable peace from the standpoint of the Greeks.
 In it's initial blows Greece has landed heavily. It has followed up the cap ture of Kutaia by recapturing the impor- tant railroad point of Eski- -shehr and taking control of territory many miles beyond. It overwhelmed the Turkish forces quite the same as 1t did on the previous advance that resulted in disas- ter, so that while everything at the present time shows satisfactory progress 1t will depend largely upon what is done henceforth as to what the result is going to be.
 While this second campaign has been planned on bigger and better lines than was the first it is to be remembered that there was little difficulty in reaching this same point before. Thus except that they have a shorter and less ex- posed front much VIII uepeIlu upoli V hIiSle the Greeks are able to do from now on. That they will make the most of their advantages and profit by their mistakes of the past is to be expected.
 Whether it Is possible to judge the Turkish resistance by such as has al- ready been encountered can be best de- termined by the success attained in over coming what Is claimed to be the halt ing of the Greek advance at the Alti- keuk pass cast of Eski-Shehr. If the Turks have not thrown the weight of their forces against the Greeks the real test is to come. Likewise the farther the Greeks move ahead the greater be- comes their responsibilities in the way of providing protection and supplies
 Thus while 1t is apparent that the fighting is not over and while there may be a temporary halt to the Greek ad- vance the Greek army has certainly placed itself in much more favorable position should peace negotiations be un- dertaken than it was even though 1t has not been able to capture Kenal Pasha or crush his army of nationalists.

AIRPLAEE CARRIERS.

When Secretary Denby declares that he is going to ask for an appropriation for an airplsne carrier, even though ap- prepriations for two such vessels were stricken out of the naval bill by the lcwer house of congress, he takes oeca- sion to say that he was convinced of such a naval need before the recent bombing tests. Those tests have, how ever, demonstrated the increased im- portance that must be attached in the future to the bombing airplane as an in strument of war for service on the high seas as well as on land While army bombers were able to go 100 miles to sea and sink ships it can be appreciated that to make such equipment as effective as lt should be there should be vessels that ran transport them from point to point or across seas if necessary, and such vessels must of necessity be speedy rraft.
 Whether it is possible to convert ships for such use is matter for cqnsidera- lion. At the same time proper study must be given to the conditions which have been raised by the bombing tests with view to increasing the resistance pt capital ships. In comparison with other navies we are not adequately equipped as to airplsns carriers. We have not been giving the attention to Euch war machines that other countries have.
 When congress declined the appropria- lions for aiTplane carriers and elini- hated other naval appropriations 1t did 80 because 1t was believed that there should be a eurtailment of expenditures of that kind. Possibly it might be advis- able to change construction plans so as 10 provide for one or more carriers in- Etead of cruisers or dreadnoughts II Is not known what action will be taker by the disarmament conference but it seems certain that airplane development san be expected.

When the dry of suffering and starv- ing humanity is raised it makes little difference where 1t comes from there is bound to be q willingness to respond on the part of the American people. They are disposed to give what assistance they can to relieving distress. That is the attitude they have taken regarding the sufferers in France and Belgium, re- garaing the conditions that have been revealed all through central Europe, in the near east, in China and that will be the attitude regarding the starving peo- pls in Russia.
 It is quite natural that Maxim Gorky should make the plea that he has to this country. In 9 time of trouble ap- peals are bound to be made where they will Aget the best and quickest atten- ton, even though u ere may not be close relations otherwise. Circumstances al- ter cases.
 Russia need not despair of help from this country. but Russia must step down off of its high horse and it has been told so in so many words by Secretary Hoover in his reply to the Gorky tele- gram. For some time it has been inn pQSSlplS TOT AIneElCduS u S6I OuI Ol Russia. Subjects of other nations have been allowed to depart but Americans are restrained and some have been un- justly imprisoned. Whatever efforts have been made to effect their release have been fruitless. Yet with those condi- tions prevailing Russia wants us to con- tribute to the relief of the dying Rus sians.
 It is certainly a small thing to ask but Hoover properly insists that while this country Is ready and willing to help there must be release of the Amerf- can subjects. There is an organization already existing in Europe backed by funds provided in this country which is prepared to extend it's work to Russia
 if that country releases the Americans. opens its doors to American agents to go in and administer the relief funds and gives assurance that the supplies will not be taken from the sufferers. It is so lit- tie to ask that Russia should lose no time in meeting every requirement. If soviet Russia cannot meet them 1t eer- tainly does not need help.
