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.

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."

in 1U22-23, and of these rules he

JL'HY IJLAMLS COINi'IL
(By Vowel Crotdey, jr.)
Itadio Interference is one of the
commonest of oil radio topics
today.
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."

t I,AYIIRKAKIN; ALIENS.
In discussinr.' piohilntion enforcement problems Wayne
Ji. 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.

The second clats of interference
is due to electrical slorms and at
mospheric disturbances. Electrical
storms set up waves, ond these

these sometimes cause clicking

phones or speuker. Such inteiler
enco is culled "static."

Tlic Stale Highway Commission has just let two contracts: one for reconstructing 11' i miles
of highway between McMinnvillc and Sheridan, a portion of which 'is shown above, at a cost of
more than $,(M)0.()0, and another for 10 miles of the Columbia River Highway between Svenson
and Astoria at a cost of more than $261,000.00.
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.
This Pus and Truck measure should not be held up to permit (be commercial operators to
escape payment of a fair part of the cost of repairing the road des(rv.ct:on don bv their im
