Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. "a
film of oil dropped on the pave
ment by an errant automobile con-
tains the same color values as the
highly decorative tail feathers OF
the peacock, said DR.. Wilder D.
Bancroft of Cornell university,
speaking at the general meeting
Of the American Chemical society
today.
Everybody has noticed the
brilliantly colored patches on the
pavement where automobiles
nave spilled oil, said DR.. Ban
croft. THE colors range from red
to gold to blue, and are very vivid
or metallic. They change with
the angle at which one sees them,
and they are not due to pigments,
since we have a thin film Of a
nearly colorless oil. These colors
are due to the interference OF light
reflected from the upper and low
er surfaces of the film and they
depend on the thickness of the
film, which averages about one
y-thousandth of an inch. They
are more vivid when oil is spilled
on an asphalt pavement than
when on a dirt road because there
is less disturbing light reflected
from the black background.
"The brilliant colors of the tail
feathers of the peacock and the
apparently self-luminous reds In
the throat feathers OF the hum
ming bird are not due to pigments.
When one looks through a pea
cocks feathers one sees only a
brown due to the so-called me-
lanin pigment which is equivalent
to the asphalt pavement. In all
the irridescent feathers the bar
Dules are flattened plates of
brown which therefore give the
3olors of thin film. The structure

color effects of the peacock and

POLK CITIZENS
INDIGNANT OVER
PAPERS ATTACK

fAl
Dallas, Or, Sept. Considerable
indignation has been aroused among
the citizens Of Polk county over
recent article appearing in the
columns of the Salem Statesman.
In effect this article charged that
moonshining and public gambling
is common in Independence, and
hat children are being sold moon
shine in Dallas.
The charges are so far-fetched and
without reason that it is believed
that the business interest of Dallas
and Independence will get together
and bring out the facts, which are
that at no time since prohibition
went into effect has Polk county
been as free from moonshine as it
is at this time. The Independence
people deny the gambling charge
just as vehemently.
Reflection on Sheriff
In "a way the article seemed to
be a drive at John W. Orr, sheriff
of the county, but it also reflected
upon the entire county and its cit
izenship, giving the impression that
Polk county is a little worse than
other counties. The reputation of
the county is and has been that it
is one of the cleanest counties in
the state.
Don't know who is responsible
for the publication, but if DR.. Lin
vile, federal prohibition agent, is
the guilty party, he must have been
laboring upder the excitement of
the hour and is not conversant with
the actual conditions in Polk coun-
ty." This is the statement given out
by Sheriff Orr. when they give
out the impression that Polk county
is in state of lawlessness / wan
to correct the claim. Since prohi'
bition went into effect many is the
night I went without sleep in an
effort " land a moonshiner. 1t is
not an easy task to even attemD
@ cover a big county with the small
amount of help that l have in this
office, but 1 feel and know that my
work has brought results"
Public Supports Sheriff
Sheriff Orr is backed in his mod
set claims by the citizens who are
familiar with the facts. They all
contend that the article in question
does the sheriff and the county
decided injustice, and insist that the
responsible for the publ
cation should be required to make a
correction. These same citizens crit
icise the Portland Oregonian for
its account of the double murder
at Grande Ronde, particularly
where it was stated that the In
dams on the reservation were run
ming wild. Sheriff Orr and others
who went to the scene agree that
there was little excitement and alb
no danger of an outbreak.
Many of the citizens are already of
the opinion that the deputy United
States marshalls themselves brought
on the shooting by their conduct,
and are not slow in saying that this
fact will be brought out in the trial
of young Warren, the murderer, who
is member of one of the most
prominent Indian families on the

SCARCITY OF HOP
P|CKERS IN POLK
COUNTY YARDS

Dallas, Or, Sept. 9-Reports
from the hop yards in and around
Independence brings out the fact
that hop pickers are sorely needed
In some of the yards and their in
flux into that district Is not as
large as heretofore. With what
pickers that are now working, the
picking is progressing in most
satisfactory manner.
The recent fall of rain caused a
considerable amount OF worry to
the growers, but did no notice
able damage. With the continu-
ance of the prevailing pleasant
weather picking is now pretty
well along. A number of the
smaller yards In the independence
and Dallas districts have already
finished with the picking.
Most Hops Still Green,
Most of the hops are still in a
green stage and another 10 days
delay In their picking will not
harm them In the least. But the
slightest indication of Jupiter
Pluvius getting in his work places
the growers on the anxious seat
and a rush will be made to gather
the harvest as soon as possible.
The yield is much larger than
vas looked for. This statement
is backed up by number of the
larger growers.
Hop pickers this year seem to
be bent upon securing a stake In
order to tide them over for some
time, and to great extent have
done away with many of the
amusements they have INDUCED in
In the past.
Few Amusements.
Ike Yokum, one of the growers
near Dallas, finished his picking
Thursday, having started in on
the previous Monday His hop
acreage was not exceptionally
large and he employed about 40
pickers. His yield was good,
about the same as last year Other
yards in this vicinity are looking
for about the same yield as here
tofore.

PUTTER FROM GAS PIPE
LATEST THING IN GOLF

The finale in freak putters ap-

nearly every shape of iron, wood. and
aluminium had been exhausted in an
effort to give golfers an implement
that would hole a ball. regardless of
the players skill. a Chicago profess

putter made of gas pipe.

the smothered putt. as ably demon
strated by James Barnes of New

pion. this golfer took a five-inch piece
Of two-inch iron pipe and sawed it
lengthwise. To the concave side he
soldered a shaft at right angle, then he
roughened the convex side Of the pipe,
SO that il would grip the ball
Instead of leaning forward, so that
the putter comes down on top of the
ball. as Barnes does in using a
straight-faced putter. the user of the
gas pipe club may stand erect and
get the same effect.
The new putter is not patented and
may even be barred by the wiseacres
of St. Andrews. But, II 1t is legal,
every one can make his own.

DEFEATS CHAMPIONS,
BUT FAILS OF TITLE
BY FAIR PLAY.

If there is one boy qualified to
grasp the bantamweight title firmly.
Pal Moore is the person. He has
given all the bantam kings boxing
lessons, one after the other. in no
decision fights. and yet he does not
hold the title and cannot get title
holders to fight him. 1t is one of the
most curious situations in boxing.
When Kid Williams was champion
Pal cuffed him all around until the
fight ended. The fans said it was
either a mistake or else the Kid wore
handouts. Then Pete Herman be-
came champion and Pal Moore treat
ed him the same way. Another mis-
take; another one of those things"
But then. by heck, when Joe Lynch
had taken the title away from Her
man he goes against Pal in
thoughtless moment out in Louisville.
Joe didn't ever know exactly what
he was up against. but had the idea
that a boxing glove factory had ex-
the title back from Lynch, and Ithen
Johnny Buff came along and beat
Herman.
Johnny evidently didn't know much
about Moore. The two met in Mil
waukee, and after ten rounds Buff
said he didn't know there were so
many boxing gloves in the world. He
admi tied he was outpointed. Midget
Smith has had experience with the
Memphis-Chicago boxer, and wants no
more.
So if all these boys have been
champs, what is Moore?-a super
maybe. He is not knock
erout, some will say. No. he is not.
But was Herman or Lynch or Buff?
No. In fact. of all the recent bantam
kings the only one who gained his
crown by knockout was Kid Will
liams, who put away Johnny Coulon
for the title.
Pal Moore's right name is Wilson.
He is American away back, and is
twenty-eight years old.
