THE LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER PAGE SEVEN Finds Child After Three Years SAVES MONEY BY MARRYING MAYOR GIVES SOUND ADVICE CHICAGO (AI) Marriage is tin' best financial Investment u niun can inako, concludes Patrick J. Carr, treasurer of Cook county (Chicago), from a statistical sur vey In which averages wen; taken from 700.001) returns. "In fact, a man can hardly afford not to get married, if statistics mean any thing," Mr. Carr added. The survey of this tax sltuatton here, made willi a view of reach ills' any scientific conclusions on economy and money saving, shows tliat t 24 years of ugo the aver age husband has about five per unt less property, money in bank and taxabkt wealth than tho aver age bachelor of the same age. "But when both reach the u' ot 28. tho husband will be three per cent ahead and will continue to distance the bachelor more each year," said Mr. Carr. "The cost of marriage puts him back In tin first comparison. "At 38, tho married man will average, in proportion to numbers. 17 per cent more la.xahk) wealth j ahead, oespno mo expenses ol and at 4S he will be 20 per cent larger homes,- children und hea vier wardrobe and living costs. The married, man seems to work harder, save more and is more in tensive in developing his business ability. There is a greater per centage of .shrinkage one year to the next in (lie , taxable property of a bachelor than a husband." .Nrvr Koaltle-Sewnnl Cubic Laid by Army Signal Corps HKWAKD, Alaska (Al). A ca ble of the army -signal corps, renewal of which was completed here recently by the transport Tellwood, Unking Seattle and Seward, Is 1,1! 12 miles long and k weighs 17.028 tons. The cost of renewing the cable, which was established in 1 4 with a line from Seattle to Wit k i, Alaska, was put at $ J iifi.no. Col onel (Icorgo Clibb in charge of re-laying tho cable, reported that the deepest place found was 2. 413 fat bonis, southeast of Middle ton Islnnd. 75 miles soith of the northernmost point' of the Guif of Alaska. Tho floor of the gulf, he added, was a smooth as the plains in the states. The line, was laid at an average depth of 1,718 fathoms. The re-laying was be gun in January. HOW NATI'HK WOIIKS The lady's slippers are really wild orchids, a class of plants so highly specialized to secure cross fertilisation that over-speciullza-tion has almost been their undoing. The mechanism to secure cross Iiollinat ion Is so complicated and elaborate that self-pollination is ulmost an Impossibility, says Na ture Magazine, of Washing ou. Pol ' filiation is usually done ijy hungry bees that gain entrance In their iu:st for food through the gateway way afforded by un opening in the upper part of (he large in flated lip. In the pink species tho gateway closes behind the guest who eats his flit from glands found Inside. After the , feast, exit, Is secured only t h rough a narrow passage in which pollen tliat may have been deposited on his back by another flower is combed off ly a sticky, brush-like stigma. On the way out a new mass of pollen is dusted on the bee's back, to be carried to another blossom and thus is cross pollination secured. , LA GRANDE IRON WORKS MACHINE SHOP AND FOUNDRY All K la ill of Machinery, Automobiles and Tractor, I lr paired Overhauled and llchuilt Acetylene Welding o( All .llnrta Cyliuder Itorlng and Overslie Plstonj OrankahafU, Pistons and Piston l'lna Kecronail Glre Di a Trial D.

Commercial avia tion in the Cnited States will forge ahead during the coming year if plans of 'tho National Aer onautic association can effect.lt. Godfrey Lowell Cabot, president or the organization, who has tak en up the task of directing lis activities from Its headquarters here, is advocating more landing fields with gas, oil and mechan ics throughout the country, as an aid i,o the greater development of commercial aviation. With tho projected plan of making Die ZIU3 a pioneer in the field of commercial aviation in this country, by demonstrating the practicability of air routes. Interest in plating aviation on a business basis is believed by Mr. Cubot to be growing rapidly. At present there are not more than half a dozen commercial air routes In the United States. Promotion of .an uir service from I'cnsacola to Tampa, Flor ida, to obviate the present round about land travel skirting the Florida coast, and to insure a i speedier delivery of mail "as the j crow flies," w 111 1e one of the alms of the National Aeronautic association in the immediate fu- tu re. Government und Inter-city I flying generally will be encour aged. I "The makers of the ZIi-3 have isaid that It is practicable to build an airship of five million cubic feet more than twice the cubic 'capacity of the ZH-3." said Mr. Cabot. 'They also feel that the To Snow Soon chief development in .the near future is going to be trans-oceti'i-ic service for mail, high-class freight, and passengers. "The chief danger to Zeppelins Is from storms. 1'sually It is possible to avoid a storm by keep ing In constant touch with the meteorological stations over a wide area on either side of the route to be traversed, and eitlur avoiding tho center of the dm I urbanet; or passing through it at niaxinrjtn speed. Our storms In the northern hemisphere re volve around a ceflter in a di rection contrary to the hands ef a clock. On Its flight from Kricdrichshafen to Lakehurst, N. J., the ZH-3 avohled two su h disturbances by shaping i.s course in accordance with meteor ological observations inudo over a wide area. "There has been from year to year an Increase In commerclil uir transportation, ' both hero and in Kurope. The larger percent age increase is in freight, and tiie smaller percentage increase in passengers. The relative ex pense of uir transportation Is extraordinarily low In Kurope. In central Kurope It Is but little more than railroad t rnnsportatioii. " I hey have regular air service between such centers iw London, 1'aris, Hrissels, licrlin, Moscow, I'rague, Warsuw, Manchester and ltuchurest, und recently to Con stantinople . also between .Cairo and IJagdad, und the Kngllsh air patrol can be seen every pleasant lay flying from l.ud over Jeru salem to Transjordanla," Orror in l-'rench Official War History Corn i -led on llupic I'AKIS (A I').
