YEP, BEAT 'EM UP! Nagging wives have been much to the forefront in Euro; pean prints lately, . , . :, One wise British doctor said a nagging wife; was good 'for a man. for she Kept liini up to the marlf. Another retorted that a nagging wife was a bad sign, waq a sie woman, prolwlily she was not getting tho proper nourishment, or perhaps her husband was not kind to her, . And then a French judge just naturally went out and spilled the beans. He probably did it because he was in France where judges are not elected by popular vote and where women have not. the right of suffrage. At any rale, talcing his courage in his' two hands, this Solomon said thai a husband had a perfect right to beat his wife if she nagged ant) irritated him. The sapient jurist probably took to heart more than his books the; English saw : .!,;' r ,"A woman, a (Jog thd a Hickory tree, ; ! i Z, -i The more yoi( befit tliem the better they be." - ' if- -o - NATURAL. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I PPUNE mams n gcoD Eveninq: Yolks t Ye ed. was proudly Showin 'a visitor Around the village Votiddy eve and A we walked up and. down The main stem He was loud In His praise of the Business establishments But when we Fin'lly reached The courthpuse He gasped in Astonishment and ; Muttered ' . y ' "Why do you ' Have the poor farm Right in town?"

As no 'sinking fund Is created the warrants will bo held indefinitely, continuing to draw interest, while eventually a new bridge must he liulli anyway so thai the taxpayers will, in the meantime, have had li pay ll additional Interest. The council feels that the most business like way or handling the proposition Is to Issue the hotlds now. establishing a sinking fund to rellre them, obtaining at the same time a structure suilnblo for ihe heavv traffic which dally pass es over (he highway. Tho interest nil' tho bonds would not he more, it is estimated, than would Ihe In terest on the warrants Issued tor the repair of Ihe structure and the inalnlenanee costs. Mayor llouck recently asked the state bridge engineer for ll re port on the present bridge ami has received the following letter: "Pursuant to our telephone eon versalhm of Ibis morning. 1 "vo checked over the iuforinallop wo have in reference we have lo Ihe Deer Crock bridgo on the Pacific highway in the city of Kosoburg. in view of the fact (bat Ins structure lies within the city lim its of liuscburg. Ibis deparlmcu has never Included It in the list of bridges coming under our an nual Inspection system, l or this reason, our records are very meag er In reference to the general di mensions and carrying capacity of the structure. Members of this department have, however, made a rather gen eral Inspection nl Ihe bridge from time lo time and our engineer. Mr. Kppsteln. h sent In mea surements covering the structural details of the steel trio's. Ibis dala while not sufficient to enable us to render ii detailed and accur ate report on tne nrniBc. ... leod us to Ihe following conclu sions: I Badly Deteriorated I 1 The sled truss was built In iii.ni evidently desigued for I loading coudltlous oousiderably tless-seyere than. that, imposed npiiti !Lbo -structure, at ihe presettf time.' i Ij-T-There, has been .very jittle, nut!ilc!iaucp ..work expended, upon jt ixt Miriiuluvc, wll.li, the, result- Hint !a markedi deterioration .from rcur ,1'Ocion of nujlajt.i8 apparent, i Just iiow ifat'.

' ';: i I 'I'lie floor carries a covering i(f two or three Indies of asphnl tle pavement and If is probably safe to say that ' tlils additional loading Imposes a burden upon Ihe structure far which it was not desigued and enroaches upon Us la:lor of safety. 5 The structure Is rather nar row aud entirely inadequate for present (raffle requirements. All iu ul!, therefore, it may bo staled thai Ihe clly of Hosehurg has on Us hands a structure, which, while perhaps not aclually unsafe at Ihe present time, is much too, light for Irnllie, heavily deteriorat ed thru lack or maintenance, Inade quate as to roadway carrying capa city and in such an advanced stage of decay as regards floor system: and Umber work as to warrant I In; prediction that unless consider able maintenance work is done, a condition is bound to result which, sooner or laler, will become actual ly a menace to traffic. Old Bridge Costly The inost reliable data available at this lime In reference lo traf fic" operation costs indicate a range in cost per vehicle mile of from eight to fourteen cents, de pending upon roadway conditions, roadway widths, allgnmenls, grade line irealnieul. etc. We can easily assume Hint truffle operation will cost three cents per vehicle milt! more over uu old structure id this kind than over a modern structure of adequate design. Applying Ibis differential lo the length of Ihe slruciure proposed, with the traf fic concentration which you huvu, il is sale to stale Ibat the construc tion of a new bridge will operate to decrease the cost of vehicle op. oration by at least $150.00 per year. In addition to this saving, we can safely estimate the saving lu inalnlenanee expense accruing thru the construction of a modern and niloquntcly designed structure at ibis point to be not less than SSTiii uu per year. These two Items of saving alone more lhan offset, the entire Inter est chaise on your new Investment which. 5 per cent will amount to something like SilttU.uv per year. The present slruciure will have to be removed sooner or Inter, so I hut tile above comparison would Indicate (hat aside from anv con sideration of civic betterment, or traffic safety, thai il Is sound busi ness Judgment to reconstruct at this time. In other words, viewing , the problem purely from a stand point of dollars and cenis. u win cost tho cly less to reconstruct than to maintain the old one.

"The elaborate jirqvisions which Commander Ityrd has deviued for tniccettsful and uure navigation un der any conditions and for main taining communication with uhipa and ahore stations at'all limes, and the successful use of these facili ties during the j ourney marked thin flight with a distinction of its own," said Assistant Secretary Warner, lit charge of uaval avia tion. They mark It definitely, he add ed, "an another step towards the aafe and regular employment ot aircraft over long stretches of sea, not as a single bold venture but as a normal incident pf pperaUou In tlie Burvico of mankind." Hyrd's flight, said Hear Admiral Molfett, chief of the bureau, pr naval aeronautics, ,rproved the practicability of trans-Atlantic com mercial and military flights.'' "Our country should fully realize the significance of this series pf flights," ho added, "which was be gun by Uyrd when ho flew to the North i'ole, and continued by Idmibergh, Chaniberlin and Uevlne, Mailhind. Hegenherger and finally topped off by Uyrd himself." "All of these pilots flew the Wright whirlwind air cooled en gine, In the development of which the navy is proud to have had a part. The air cooled engine marks a new period in aerouauctics. Its weight lifting efficiency, plus its demonstrated reliability, place us in a new era of aeronautics.". America's Opportunity Admiral Moffett declared this engine had put America ip the. forefront of the aeronautical world ami added that the country "should grasp its opportunity, and leave nothing undone ,td occupy this new commercial field and to provide adequate aviation dpfense." 7 Captain T. T.

Today the Portland district United Slates land office, which was established at Oregon City, will pass out ot existence, aged 72 years 6 months. ' Several months ago Ihe govern ment al Washington decided that this office would by this day have out lived most of its usefulness. Orders to close it were duly re ceived. Now the books and records have been packed and shipped to Hose burg, and tomorrow the HoseburR oilice will be a consolidation of It sell with the Portland office. The Portland land office is one of quite a number of such offices lu all parts of the country for which closin gorders were issued this year. The office at Vale, Or., Is another which will close today. The I.akevlew office, closing or ders for which were issued along with those tor Portland and Vale, will remain open by grace of a sub sequent order w hich recognized (hat the closing would work a hardship on residents of a large, sparsely populated area. Only Ihe laud offices at The dalles and Koseburg will be open lu Oregon after today. Historical Chapter Closed Closing of the Portland office puis an official seal 011 a chapter in Oregon history which has been closed lu tact many year.-i: Cie wholesale settlement of land un der donation claims, the home stead law, and the timber aud atom act. The office was opened at Oregon City January 1, 3855, when immigration, over the Oregon Trail was at ils height, excited aud nourished by the promise of free lauds. Most of the Immigrants v.

When we were way up lu the air the loop-tue-loop gave me a scare, j'm glad tnai it is over 'cause I've really had enough." Then Princess Fun, said. "Well, now, boys, i sill) have many oth er joys. Let's try the scenic rail way. Vou will like that very much. It's Just like riding in a train, ex cept that 1ms more thrills you gain., it takes you high up in the air and has queer turns aud such." bo, over t the railway place the TfuymlteH went on a race. The Princess floated in the air and beat them to the aceqe. Said she, "Here is the car you'll ride. Take care, now. when you hop inside. Sit right down in the middle und be sure you do not leap." Then Coppy shouted, "Here we go." The car begau to move real slow, it climbed a rather steep hill till they reached the very top. Aud then it started down the grade. A very sudden turn waa made. The Tinies all heard Clowny shout, "Oh, gee, when, will we stop?" Right down the hill they went, ami tl)ci, the car shot right back up again. It whizzed abound sharp corners pad the Tildes yelled ip glee. When they were up ou pnp high peuk, the others heard wee Carpy speak, "Why, we can aee for miles aroqnd the country side," said he. Then, wliep they reached the top orice more, the railway car began lo soar.
