Rapid Evaporation Tends to Dead
en- Skin Temporarily, Pro-
fessor Declares.

BY the Associated Press.
CORVALLIS, Greg, June 4.-Cases
of poison oak among the students
of Oregon Agricultural College have
been successfully treated with liquid
air, by DR.. f. Z. Rowland, professor
of industrial chemistry.
Liquid air is made by compress
ing ordinary atmosphere at low
temperature. When the substance is
about 300 degrees below zero, it is
applied to the affected portions.
Rapid evaporation tends to deaden
the surface of the flesh temporarily,
stopping the irritation caused by the
poison oak.
Liquid air will solidify rubber, ner-
curry or any vegetable matter into
a brittle mass. DR.. Rowland says
there is no danger using it II 1t is
applied directly to the skin.

The city has more prop erty to tax than ever before: the grand list is continually mounting and bringing in more tax money. But as the city expands the needs such expansion brings with it increase in large proportion. This year some thing radical had to be done, and this is why the tax rate has ad- vanced.
 We can be sorry about it: regret the necessity" expatiatc upon the costs of city government: but there is no help for the inevitable. In the course of time it may b e possible to reduce the rate once again; and that will be a more pleasant story.
