There was a time when the "Safety First" slogan was taken seriously by the public but that was before automo biling became an obsession. . The magazine writer who says we need a new religion may be all right according to his light of prejudices, but a little more faith in the old would help a lot. As a shining instance of what reiterated advice will accomplish, one issue of a newspaper carried in a single column a grade crossing death story, a rocking-the-boat tale and the old reliable empty shotgun piece. JOB FOR A G FENERATION. During national forest week the newspaper-reading pul lic was informed that when the. United States came into the possession of the white man it had primitive forests covering more than 800,000,000 acres and that today it Jias only 138,000,000 acres of virgin forests, 250,000,000 acres of second growth tinilier or young growth and 81, looO.OOO acres of ; land which have produced nothing but brush fiMiiK.-ehK wtWtirpiiid tiMMhtreaw, ! These statistics convince the average persons, possess ing an average amount of foresight, that national .forest week should be extended' 'to cover fifty-two weeks in a year and for every year until the production of new' timber in this country equals' or exceeds the consumption of virgin timber. 1 Upon the trees man depends for his lumber, often hi.; water , supply, many of his pastimes and for, much of nature's beauty. Just 12 per cent of the American forest primeval has survived the woodman's ax. It is within the power of this century to restore to the next century much i i this natural heritage of which the last century robbed the present.

Radio Chats Bombing Plans Menace To Civilization, Expert Says VUNDON (AP) ITnlew flying machlnefl arc regulated death will bo rained down by thu square mile In the next Kuropoaii war, is the prediction made by J. M. Bpaight, author of "Aircraft In War." and other books, in htf latent publica tion "Air Power and War KightH," in which he makes an appeal for the limitation of air armaments. "I.ct there be no doubt about it." writes Mr. Jjpalght. "Unless air power is regulated and controlled it will destroy civilization itself. Aircraft have a terrible lesson in store for mankind. Khali we ever learn the lesson properly until it is hurled at us in thunder and flame?" ho ask, and answers as follows: ''Sometimes one not this whether we .shall. It Is admitted that air raids will be far more terrible in future wars than they were in laiB, but It is doubtful whether the ap palling menace to civilization which this admission involves is grasped by the general public." Mr. Kpalght was the British member of the commission of Jur ists on laws of war ut The Hague, in 1U22-23, and of these rules he says: "Jt Is doubtful whether such IXCiniVKK AITO J'OIM HOOD lUVKlt.

Interference may be divided into two classifications, man made and natural: (1) that due to transmitting or broadcttsting stations other than the one from which it Is destreii to receive: that due to alternating current elegtric transmission lines and various other alternating cur rent electric devices, and ( ) that due to electrical storms and other atmospheric dlsturban ces. Selectivity is the i. .ensure of the ability of a set to tune out the undeslred si at lous and. receive only the onen you wish to hear. !t Is also culled "shnrpness of tun ing." Well-dislKned receiving seis will tune out completely sta tions operating on a wave length differing but few meters from that of the desired station. Even when another station Is heard at the sunie time, its signals are us ually so faint its to muse no in convenience. Interference from broudcasting stations is called "station Interference."

Wheeler .says: "The lawless alien in our midst is one of the most fertile sources of disorder. Unahle to appreciate the significance of our institutions and careless about our ideals, too many of these immigrants adopt careers of crime its the shortest road to the wealth they seek in this El Dorado." i Placing on the immini'ant the blame for prohibition's ciiinc breeding is unfair and unjust. If the alien was the thief malefactor under the Volstead act thou those sections of the country which have little or no immigration popu lation, would be of less concern to the enforcement agencies than they have proven to be. "Lawless aliens" were not the mountaineers who for years before national prohibition engaged in the illicit busi ness of making and selling moonshine. Aliens, either law less or law-abiding, do not live in some sections of the country where the liquor laws are the most flagrantly vio lated. It is because many immigrants do not "appreciate tjie rignificanco of our institutions" that unscrupulous enforce ment agents have made the alien the "goaf of prohibition enforcement.

This type, of inter ference may be guarded against by taking certain precautions In cree ling aerials. The second clats of interference is due to electrical slorms and at mospheric disturbances. Electrical storms set up waves, ond these same kind as radio wuves, and these sometimes cause clicking hissing and crushing sounds In the phones or speuker. Such inteiler enco is culled "static."

Their portable paving plants arc constantly repairing the highways at great cost and the Highway Kngineer has estimated that it will cost the Commission S(),0()0.()0 to patch and repair the Pacific Highway between Salem and Oregon City. The heavy commercial freight trucks and motor busses have done (lie greater part of this damage within the past two years. The taxpayers and private car owners pay at least !)5 cents out of every dollar of this hill. Referendum petitions arc being circulated by the Motor 15ns and Freight Truck Associations to submit the "Bus and Truck Hill" passed at the last session of (be Legislature for vote bv the people in November, 192R. The effective date, unless referred, is May 28, 1925 I5v these refcrending petitions operators of commercial busses and trucks hope to put off for IS nionths the date when they must start paying for at least a portion of the damage thev are doinir to the road.
