Synthetic Milk Again

Another alarm, but perhaps false
one, comes from Copenhagen, Den
mark, in press dispatch, announcing
the discovery of a synthetic milk
which is said to possess all the quail
tiles and virtues of fresh cows milk
1t is claimed for the product that
it is not merely substitute for milk
but that it is an article of equal merit
Our confidence, however, was decid
eddy shaken when the dispatch goes
on to say that vegetable fats will
take the place of butterfat in this
new Danish product.
There is that something in the milk
of animals that can never be replaced
by vegetable fats. 1t is that quality
in milk that makes the young animal
grow and develop; and it is a quality
that can never be replaced by veget
able fats; and while old bossy may
sooner or later have to wage wal
against this latest infringement on the
rights of her products, we venture to
say that the day is far distant before
real substitute will be found that
can replace the life-giving qualities of
her milk.

LETTING CLOTHES TALK FOR YOU

The eternal argument as to whether
woman dresses for man or for other
women ends in blind alley. She
does neither, according to Miss Hoyt.
"She dresses for herself and the
world" she goes on. "She dresses as
she talks-to enjoy herself through
expressing what she is. Her clothes
are as much part of herself as her
smile, the intonations of her voice,
and her every talent.
Some women are inarticulate from
clothes standpoint as others are
with words. They cover-rather than
conceal charm of mind and wealth
of soul, and remain silent during an
exchange of ideas.
"But these are exceptions. The
average woman, spurred by the in.
stinct to cultivate her own individual.
ity, automatically extends it through
the clothes she dons."

"CHEVoN" is NAME FOR GOAT
MEAT

MEAT
Hereafter, if the efforts of mum
Der of organizations and individuals
have the desired effect, goat meat will
be designated by a special name which
will be comparable to pork, beef, and
mutton. The name selected by the
contrasting interests in the South
west is "chevon." In reply to requests
for approval of this new name, the
United States Department of Agri
culture has stated that there seems tt
be no reason why this name shoult
not be adopted and generally applied
to the meat of this domestic animal
and it, therefore, approves the name
"chevon."
The word "chevon" was created
after long consideration of many sug
gestions, by organizations represent
ing the principal Angora-goat produc
ing region. 1t was made by combin
ing parts of two French words
"chevre," meaning goat, and "mout
on" meaning mutton. In other words
"chevon" means goat mutton.

is eminently PRACTICAL witness the
program he is in process of carrying
out
He proposes to bring 100000 acres
under irrigation before his term of
office expires. He is setting about
the establishment of a great series of
agricultural schools in which the
Mexican counterparts of the biblical
farmers will be turned into farmers
Of today. He is establishing a num-
Der. of agricultural! banks from which
Mexican farmers will be able to bor
row money at reasonable rates. In
the past few months he has bought
in America and sold to Mexican farm
ers 5000 sets of plows and harness,
at cost og $26 per set and on three
years credit. This same equipment
costs $125 per outfit through private
channels. He is distributing 10000
horses to Mexican farmers in the
same way. He is by such means
striving to bring a people up out of
ignorance, poverty and dirt to intelli-
gence, orderly lives and requited

STUDY YOUR CHILDREN


In dealing with children it is neces
sary to find out their reasons and
motives. Many times what seems
like fragrant disregard for the par
ents' requests is to the child only ar
earnest desire to help mother OF
father, as the case may be.
The little girl of 4, who had been
told time and again not to play with
water, when found in the kitchen
dripping wet, having split water all
over herself, was punished for hel
disobedience. Later it was learned
that what she had done was to climb
up on the sink to get basin of water
and cloth with which to wash the
finger marks off the doorway as she
had seen mother do. She slipped, the
water spilled, and punishment fol.
lowed. To her it must have looked
as if she were punished for trying
to help.
Another little boy had learned that
he must never pull up the plants in
the garden. He watched his father at
work getting out the little weeds in
the flower bed, and few days later
in an attempt to be helpful, he pulled
up all the little new growth of carrots
and left standing the tall, well-devel-
oped ragweed!
Some restrictions are placed on
children that it is nearly physical
impossibility for them to carry out.
"Sit stil1' and "Be quiet" are very
easy to say, and yet to healthy
youngster, full, of life and vigor, such
commands are extremely hard to
carry out for more than few min
utes at time. Little children are
growing and developing new muscle
power all the time, and they must
have freedom to run, jump, shout, and
play. Nature demands it. Perhaps
some special part of the house OF
yard may be set apart as Theirs
place with few dangers or hamperine
restrictions where they may safely
work off their steam" unchecked by
continual nagging.

Also, Rose, whose contradict

Last summer Rose went to Har-

she noticed a rather dilapidated
little old white schoolhouse, squat
ting off in a field by the side of
the road. Just how the idea devel-
oped, she can't quite explain, but
by the time she had returned to
Harrison late in the afternoon,
she had her plans all made to buy
that little old schoolhouse, if it
could be bought, and move it to a
beautiful wooded site on Long
Lake, a mile or 80 away.
First she bought the lake-shore
site, then she arranged with the
county authorities to buy the
abandoned school building and
move it. About that time it was

Celebration Marks Opening Of New
Cascade Line of Southern Pacific

OCAL train service on the new
L. 280-mile Natron cutoff. now ofrl-
cially known as the Cascade Line OF
the Shasta Route of the Southern
Pacific between klamath Falls and
Eugene started early in September
and through train service is expected
to be inaugurated later in the year.
Marking the completion of con-
struction a Trail to Rail" pageant
was staged at Eugene, August 10 and
20. The pageant Klatawa, written by
Prof w. P. G. Thatcher of the Uni
versity of Oregon. depicted the evolu-
ton and history of transportation In
the Northwest Practically every
known phase of transportation was
represented in the parade. 1t includ-
ed Indian pole drags, OK teams, bur-
ros. covered wagons, stage coaches,
buckboards, buggies, horses, railway
locomotives and coaches, ships, high
wheeled bicycles and airplanes.
The old &c. P. Huntington No. l"
and modern Southern Pacific type
3-cylinder locomotive were on exhibit
ton.
The cut off, i second track on the
Shasta route extending from Black
Butte, Cal, to Springfield Junction,
three miles south of Eugene, opens
up virgin territory of undeveloped
farm and timber land covering the
Cascade mountains between klamath
Falls on the east and the Willamette
valley on the west. The significance
of this project in the future develop
ment Of Oregon can only be glimpsed
at this time. In penetrating coun-
try only accessible over trails and
roads the railroad reveals the old
truth that mans progress is In direct
relation to the ease with which he
can travel and transport his harvest
ed and manufactured goods from
where they originate to where they
are needed or consumed.
The Cascades Line, with the Black
Butte-Grass Lake line change, has in
volved a total expenditure of more
than $39,000,000. Among other ad-
vantages the new line reduces the
maximum grade between San Fran
cisco and Portland from TIA to 95
feet per mile, reduces curvature by
18,458 degrees, or about 81 complete
circles.
The most difficult part of the con-
struction was between Oakridge and
the summit of the Cascades, on the
west slope of the mountains. Here
the maximum grade was 95 feet to
the mile, with the sharpest curve

eight degrees. In this distance there
are 10 tunnels having an aggregate
length of 1862 feet; the longest tun
mel, 3,64S feet, is at the summit and
at an elevation of 4,S42 feet. The
shortest tunnel is $50 feet. Nearly all
the tunnels are bored through solid
material and, aside from the concrete
portals, little concrete lining was re-
quired.
An average of 5000 men were EN-.
ployed during the summer and fall of
1924, size of the crews varying with
the season. A total of approximately
100000 cubic yards of all classes of
material were handled in the con-
struction between Oakridge and Kirk,
exclusive of the "a mile cutoff be-
tween Black Butte and Grass Lake,
Calf.
Many miles OF wagon roads and
trails were built on the mountain
sides to enable the contractors to
haul equipment, material and supplies
to the various camps and points of
construction. Due to excessive cost
and difficulty of hauling, small saw
mills were established at convenient
points in the forests in order to sup
ply lumber. The right of way be-
tween Oakridge and the summit was
cleared through thick forests of heavy
timber.
The new line offers unsurpassed
scenic attractions. From klamath
Falls the line runs for about Il miles

Lake in the heart of heavily timbered
mountains North of Kirk the line
runs for % miles through the Klam.
ath Indian reservation and then north
and northwest 35 miles to the sum
init of the Cascades, just north OF
beautiful Odell Lake. The entire re
gion Is veritable fisherman's para
disc Of lakes and streams.
From a commercial viewpoint the
new line opens to the lumber indus
try hundreds of thousands of acres Of
timber land. 1t permits the market
ing and sale of cattle raised in the
grazing country and will open to the
settler a fertile back country hereto
