The proposed auto license fee would not be nearly a:
attractive to some ear owners when they discovered a per
Miunt property tax at six per cent of the valuation piled oi
top. The present license fee is not only the most business
like but it is the most economical for the car owner.
T)ie American Library Association asks the governmen

For several weeks the local legion convention committee:
havejbeen somewhat concerned about getting enough dele
gates' here for the state Vession next week. Now the reser
villains are coming in so heavily and so numerously that the
are worried about being able to find housing accommodation:
for them all. The Lakeviow post, down in south-central Ore
gon, asks rooms for seven saying any good barn will d(
all right for the men of Hie party. That is an excellent spin
on the part of the visitors but hardly one that will be typica
of the accommodations provided. The housing committc
wants to provide the best rooms possible and needs the co
operation of the entire community in taking care of the con
volition crowd. La Grande's hospitality should result ii
a surplus of rooms, regardless of a reeonl-breaking attend
auce, and not a shortage.
TLLLING TIMH
There is an occasional musician who has an "absolute
sense of pitch," so that he can tell any note struck on a mu
sical instrument with unfailing precision. That xiwcr is suit
to be possessed by perhaps one person in a million.
There is a man in London who seems to have an absoluti
sense of time. He is Hill Jenney. who has taken care of about
HMXI clocks for the Hotel Savoy for ".12 years. In a series o'
tests he has pioved his ability to tell what time it is at an;
moment of the day or night, within one minute. His great
est error was ."i seconds. One person in half a million is sni
to have "an acute time sense." Such ability, however, i:
probably more widely tlistiibuted than people suppose. Kvery
one has some sense of lime, and its perception differs oni.
in degree.
1'eople who live indoois and depend altogether on watches
and clocks are likely to lose any special gift along that line
People who live outdoors alien develop the gift. A faimei
may know what time it is withm half an hour or so. no mat
ter where he is or whal he is dninjr, and thus find a watch
superfluous, lie may tell time by th,. sun, or by his stomach
or by appearances in gcneial. '1 i ,o process, whatever it is
is usuniij unconscious. AimoM anyone can cultivate
sense ton high degree of accuracy by practicing for a few
or weeks on the development of imie consciousness.
That would be a fine thing for ,i lot ,,f people who cm
stantly break engagements' becaus,. they "didn't realize what
time it was."
Chamberlain Has
Hopes of Naval
Parley Success
LONDON, July 11 (A I') Kir
AuHtt'n Chamberlain, Itrltiah for
eign nilnlHtr, today told the houwt
of commons ha did not by any
means abandon hope that th pres
ent conservations at this trl-pnrtltu
nuvat conference at Geneva might
yet lead to a tw;ntilblo relief of tiie
burdens that would otherwise fall
on tin- tiiree peoples concerned.
Ilia statement wuh made durinir
a debate on forelmi nfTairfl In
which he averted that there wuh
nothing Mecret ubout liln llritiull
foreign policy or that there were
no enifUK'iiientH or und'rntandintf
not known to the hoiwo.
8ir A list en declared that the
Itritlrth proposals, if adopted, would
lead to a reduction In expenditure
of nearer M),000.t)iio pounds than
4.oun,Htu pounds shortly.
It wn unthinkable, lio declared,
that Great Britain should enter
Into a new race with the I niUd
State in naval armament.
