Standards concerning the ciga

The bureau's statistics show that
In 1937 a total of 54,000 cigarettes
were lighted every second and
that these cigarettes were thrown
away at an average length of one
and one quartet' inches und then
burn 8.5 to 12 minutes. Six out of
nine burn full length. '
On a dried grass pad with a
wind of three miles per hour, 85.3
per cent of the cigarettes ignited
the grass. Average time of Igni
tion, five minutes. On Douglas
fir duff In Washington, 20 tests
tot 19 fires. On rotted Douglas fir
wood, 10 tesls set five fires, but
the relative humidity was above
25 per cent which is the critical
point. '
The studies by the bureau fur
ther showed that cigar butts go
out in 2.3 to 5.17 minutes. They do
best In a high wind. In a 9 to 12
mile wind, 39.3 per cent set fires,
In an average lime of 2.11

Wyatt of Dodgers
Beats Giants on
One-Hit Hurling
By AUSTIN BEALMEAR
(Associated Press Sports Writer)
The Brooklyn Dodgers still
have a little matter to settle with
the Si. Louis Cardinals before
they will be ready for the World
series, but their ace right-hander,
Wyatt, is as fully prepared for
the October classic touay as he
can be.
Wyath who never has pitched
a no-hit game In his dozen years
around the major leagues, came
as close as possible without act
ually achieving it yesterday when
he let the New York Giants down
with one blow as the Dodgers tri
umphed, 2-1.
The victory, opening an Import
ant four-game series, boosted
the Dodgers' National league
lead to seven games over the
Cardinals, who were idle.
In the only other national lea
gue game, the Cincinnati Reds
snapped a six-game losing streak
and crept up on the third-place
Giants by turning back the Pitts
burgh Plrates,i5-3. ,
The Boston Red Sox, refusing
to concede the American league
flag to New York'a front-running
defending champs, walloped the
Yankees, 7-4, and rounded out a
four-game scries with three tri
umphs. Al the other end of the junior
circuit, the Phildclphin Athletics
took a doubleheader in their cel
lar series with the Washington
Senators.
A 17-hit attack on throe Wash
ington pitchers gave the Athlet
ics the opener, 9-2, and sent New-
som to his 16th defeat as Chris
topher hurled seven hit ball for
Philadelphia.
The nightcap wont 12 innings
before the A's triumphed, 6 1.
The Chicrgo White Sox came
from behind with six runs in the
fifth inning to stop the SI. Louis
Drowns, 8 5, in a night game.
Humphries hurled seven hit ball
tor the Sox.
Twilight Games
Prune Attendance
In Coast League
SAX KRANCISCK. Aug. 'Jl
i AIM The war-decreed Inaugrat
ion of twilight liascoall In the Pa
cific Coast league brought a light
turnout in more ways than one.
Dut went the lights last night
in San Francisco's Seals stadium
on the first pitch of the oinhth
inning. And out went thousands
of fans to other spots than Ihe
ball parks, everywhere a league
game was played.
Seattle, which beat Portland 8
3 and the approach of daikness
by an even closer margin al
Seattle, had the only hopeful ex
planation. Only 1.601 fans, many
of whom ale cold box suppers,
were in the stands in contrast
with 3.233 at tho last night game.
But club officials pointed out
there was a special army relief
program at nearby l.ongacros
raw track.
In San Francisco, whore fans
vainly have been going to night
games this week for a sight of
file Seals licking Los Angeles,
just that happened ! 1 hut only
t.007 customers saw it. The night
before a San Francisco defeat
was witnessed by what sports
writers called "a slim crowd of
2,500." Lights, required at yester
day's twilight affair after the
sixth inning, went off so abruptly
In the eighth under dimout re
quirements that few fans knew
what the final score was.

officials that they called off to
day's game while they swallow

ed whether to stage any more
twilight encounters. They'll try to
lure the fans with a doublehead

Los Angeles h:ls decided to
play nothing but day games.
Seattle's business manager, Bill
Mulligan, is confident twilight
games can draw crowds.
Hollywood, for the present
agrees only on one thing what
Sherman said about war.
At Seattle the Rainiers bunch
ed six bingles in the second in
ning for four runs and added two
additional scores on four safeties
in the third. Rainier baiters col
lected 13 hits off four Beaver
hurlers while Fischer, the win
ning pitcher, gave up 10 safeties.
San Diego and Sacramento
were idle. They arc scheduled w
play a twilight game today at the
Solon's park.

Exam Billed Here
Emphasizes Need
Of Stenographers
Stenographers and typists arc
so urgently needed for expanding
war agencies in Washington, D.
C, that failure immediately to ob
tain the needed number will ser
iously handicap the war effort.
"Service with typewriter or short
hand notebook at $120 a month
may seem less heroic than firing
a machine gun at $21," declared
Miss Helen Busenbark, special
representative for the 11th U. S.
civil service district, who is here
on an intensive recruiting cam
paign, "but it's the thousands of
typewriters that perform the
critical work of maintaining flow
o equipment and supplies with
out which those machine guns
would be silenced and their gun
ners killed."
An examination will be given
Saturday morning at 9 o'clotk in
the junior high school for all in
terested in an immediate appoint
ment at a starting salary of $1440
a year. Applicants should bring
their own typewriters.
Previous requirements have
been sharply reduced, according
to Miss Busenbark. A speed of 35
woids a minute for typists and a
dictation speed of 98 for stenog
raphers is sufficient to qualify.
Anyone who will have reached
his 18th birthday by October first
is eligible to apply. There Is no
upper age limit.

Concerning the
NORTHWEST
A$ Viewed at h
National Capitol
By
John W. Kelly
WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 21.
Food requirements committee,
set-up in the department of agri
culture, has been in a huddle on
the meat situation, and whispers
that meat will in all probability
be rationed in a matter of
months. Whatever decision this
committee makes, however, is
checked by a food committee in
war production board. Not fo be
outdone, WPB dlvialon is busily
engaged In duplicating the food
requirements committee adding
more and unnecessary people to
the payroll. Instead of pne agency
handling the matter there are
now two, one being completely
superfluous.
The committee in tho depart
ment of agriculture is Geeking
data on the amount of meat re
quirements of army and navy
and how much is committed un
der the lease-lend act. When they
have these statistics they will
deduct tills amount from the est
imated supply of livestock, and
that will be what the civilians
will receive. -There will be a sur
vey of the amount of meat con
sumed percaplta in peace time
and this will be compared witn
the meat available after armed
forces and the United Nations
have been satisfied. The task of
the agricultural committee is
then to decide how far this bal
ance will stretch. Preliminary
survey indicates the meat for
civilians will be less than the per
capita consumption of 194,1.
There are two methods consid
ered of distributing the civilian
meat allocation to retail deal
ers, now being carried on in
most eastern states: and, ration
ing meat to the consumer after
the manner sugar is being ration
ed. 1
Principal shortage now is beef
and pork. There is discussion of
placing a ceiling on livestock, a
subject which aroused acrimon
ious debate in congress when the
office of price administration war.
being considered. Out of the west,
from states such as Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming and
Montana, came great herds of
beef cattle and the owners join
ed hands in insisting on no ceil
ing. They won their point, but it
is possible that a ceiling later
may bo imposed. In any event,
the housewife will have difficulty
in buying meat In the near
future.
Softwood Wins
Northwestern furniture man
ufacturers have been awarded
some large contracts for furnish
ing proposed dwelling units and
the making of bunks. They won
in competition with California
concerns even on California war
projects. Originally the supply
department asked for hardwood,
of which there is none in Oregon
and Washington, but when the
westerners explained that soft
wood Is the only material in the
far western region the specificat
ions wore changed and the major
part of the equipment was assign
ed to the Douglas fir and pine.
Another matter the furniture
people settled was the practice
of having bids opened In tho mid
west and delivery at that point,
for, if successful, the west coast
would have to deliver to the mid
west point and then the material
would have to be sent back to
the coast. The supply officers
said that the draftees are go
tough that they would batter
softwood and to prevent this
hardwood would be required. In
cidentally, the amount of hard
wood called for was more ,han
New England states could pro
duce within the time limit.

Game Board Bans
Elk Hunting In
Douglas and Coos
PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 21.
The Oregon state game commis
sion, on Thursday closed the spe
cial hunting season for elk in
Coos and Douglas counties. The
season was to have extended
from August 23 to 31, both dates
inclusive.
More than 1000 hunters will
be affected by the emergency
order, according to a" check of
1941 hunting records.
The closure, designed to de
crease fire hazards in the region,
was requested several days ago
by Lieutenant-General John L.
DeWItt, chief of the western de
fense command. Entry into the
forests involved in the region
likewise had been limited by per
mit. Refund Improbable.
The board considered a propo
sal by Frank B. Wire, state game
supervisor, that "some method be
worked Out to refund tho license
fees to individual hunters," but
declined to take any action. Wire
protested that the game commis
sion owed a "moral obligation"
to the disappointed nimrods but
the board held that the license
was valid anywhere in the state
where the taking of elk Is per-
miuca. i
A description of tho boundaries
of the closed area follows:
Starting at Reedsporr, in Doug
las county, thence southerly
along U. S. highway No. 101
through North Bend and Marsh
field to Coquille, thence easterly
along Oregon highway No. 42 to
Tenmile, thence northwesterly
along the main road to Reston,
thence northeasterly along the
main road to Melrose, thence
northerly along the Umpqua riv
er to Elkton, thence westerly
along the Umpqua river to Reeds
port, the point of beginning.
Rogue River Angletf
Swept to Sea; Rescued '
GOLD BEACH, Ore., Aug. 20
(AP Two San Francisco men
w ho had been swept to sea by the
millrace tide at tho mouth of the
Rogue river were brought to
shore today by a daring fisher
man.
Tho men, G. H. Hubbard and
Dudley Stackmest, a creamery
operator, were suffering from ex
posure but otherwise unhurt.
They were fishing in a small
boat at the mouth of the Rogue
when the tide started racing out
early last night. The boat was
swept into swells near the break
ers and was swamped. Hubbard
and Stackmest jettisoned every
thing in the boal but a llashlight,
and the craft barely was afloat.
. As the tide swept them over the
bar, the fishermen were thrown
overboard, but managed to hang
onto the boat. .
When they did not return from
the fishing trip, Ray Carpenter,
a eommerical fisherman, set out
in his boat. He crossed the bar,
a difficult feat at low tide, after
his ship dragged bottom three
times. About 10:30 o clock he said
he picked up flashes from the
light carried by the California
men. Carpenter took them
aboard, but because of bar con
ditions, was unable to come
ashore until morning.
That's what they say . . . thousands of them . . .
when they first try Rainier Club Extra Pale Beer.
Are you wise to it yet? Well don't wait, man! Get
a cold bottle right now and pour a tall, chilled
glass of sparkling, pale-amber Tcrabment.
The flavor wins you - a friendly mellow flavor that
only slow, slow aging puts into beer. Rainier
never hurries . . . No need to hui ty with the
West's greatest brewing plant AND the world's
largest aging tank.
That's why you get a beet with a lively tang yet a
delicate, mellow flavor . . . Mellow-aged, we call
it. It's beer at its best . . . Buy Rainier Club . . .
