He carciully avoids mere surface Imitations or "Old Bob," for he la convinced that he cannot entirely fill his father's place In the senate, instead he consciously and sincerely follows his stand on national Issues. Before he entered the race to suc ceed hla father, he never had made a speech. He went Into the campaign with a prepared Bpeech, but lost It. Nevertheless he made a Bpeech and did well. "Young Bob" was the constant companion of his father during the yours when ho was of high school aye. Even at the age of 13 he was taken out on campaign and lecturo tours. He and his brother Phil were In and out of the capltol from the time they wcro 10 years old. GLEANINGS By O. N. S. , And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. 1 Cor. 13:13. f THE NEW HOME We have during recent years listened to the arguments of those who see that great institution, the Amlerican home, as being. decadent and nearing extinction, and while there may be Bomfe. ground for such a belief, a recent survey finds' 50,640 students, studying home economics in '684 institutions of higher learning. Of that number 37,619 are seeking a degree. This enrollment tends to show that there is not the lack of interest in home-making that we may have feared. While most of these students plan to teach home economics, rather than practice thorny they are preparing themselves to meet an extensive demand for training in scientific and efficient home management.' 1 ' The modern home may have defects but it is u great inv proveiront over that of one hundred years ago. And would you say that people who strive for still betfer things for the homejare not interested in the home and in home-making ? Home econoinlcp aBtaiight ii the BchdOlis and colleges deal with home management.:' 'These i studies mean better prepar ation f or better homes, for efficiency in home management, paying dividends, not only in the, family budget but in the circumstances and comfbrt'ijri .jlonje life. " '-'. Ilqjrls management, as iwcll as the teaching bf Ihome man agement, is now being recognized as a profession. Scientific housekeeping requires something more than unskilled labor. The young people of, Union .County, at 'the 'Q.ceiit 4-1-1 club meeting demonstrated that they are vitally interested in home; af fairs- nnd-what :is true of them 'is trite 'of thousands of our young people throughout this country. t K'; tariff Commission V iVO President Hoover has great faith in tariff adjustment by commission, acting in accord with policies prescribed by con gress. The flexible tariff, which he urged so strongly, is not :i scheme of executive assumption of power, lie looks upon it as, a device by which the tariff can. be. made to actually protect without injury to others. That the new tariff commission he is now forming as sumes a place of first importance in his mind is apparent from the character of the men selected by him1 for the vacant posts. Former Ambassador Henry P. Fletcher was picked for the t hairnwnship because of his long and intimate knowledge of world trade and domestic industry and agriculture. An the second member, the president has selected Thomas iVi.lkcv Patre, of Virginia. Mr. Page entered the tariff serv ff under President Taft, continued 'on the commission dur ing the Wilson administration and was chairman during the early days of the Harding regime. That President Hoover contemplates a new order of things is seen in this appoint ment," for Mr. Pago has been an outspoken critic of the flex ible tariff plan. Congress, due to sectional and partisan feeling and inter ests, has shown itself incapable of framing a completely sat isfactory tariff bill. Even if it could, economic and trade conditions so constantly fluctuate that the perfect schedule of today would be excessive in some particulars and inade quate in others tomorrow. A flexible, adjustable tariff with an able, bi-partisan and honest commission at the helm will remove nost tariff evils. SCIENCE AIDS INDUSTRY When he discovered the X-rays more than 30 years ago, Roentgen predicted that they would be an aid to both the physician and the manufacturer. Flesh is so easily pene trated by the rays that medicine and surgery profited by P.oentgen's discovery sooner than industry. Not until Dr. W. D. Coolidge devised the powerful tubs that bears his name was it possible for the X-rays to become a valuable testing tool in the hands of the manufacturer. That the X-rays have other than .surgical and therapeutic I'scs the public learned when experts differed on the genuine ness of a few reputed old paintings. There was no denying the faces and ornaments underlying layers of paint that were exposed by the radiograph. This success in the field of art had much to do with the application of the X-rays in industry. With the powerful apparatus now in use it is possible to penetrate three inches of steel, and to trace the course of water pipes and electric wiling concealed in thick walls. I'.oth raw materials and finished products can lx? examined for hid den defects. Roentgenology contributes to industrial safety, safer travel by rail, motor or air, and to better manufactured products. Wc do not know why they call them rumble seats, but we saw one occupied by a young man and, evidently, his sweet heart, and behind them the spare tiro and cover on which were these words "Detour, love under construction." I.IK KM MECHANICS In school ho was much Interested In history, hut was only a normal student. Early he developed a liking lor mechanlcni things such as motor cycles and bicycles. In 1004 he Ilrst broke Into print. It vas at the St. Louis world lair and he was credited with having turned In the alarm when the Mis souri building caught fire. Ho claims that ho 'didn't. Ho Is an ardent baseball fan In fact, likes all kinds of sports. He Is fond of travel. He loves the theatre. His sister Fola was an actress for sev eral years, and Is now the wife of George Mlddleton, a playwright. He reads a great deal, particularly biography and history. He shows a great Interest in all economic ques tions. He has an Instinctive Interest In how things work, but he learns the mechanics more from observation than from statistics. lie drives his own car. He Is per functory about official society, but enjoys going out. He dances n great deal and likes. It. .... A man likes to make his home In a town or city where there are good schools, good churches, good oppor tunities, good morals and good en tertainment. La arande has all of that. Just a reminder, With the city schools open, the stop street sign on Fourth at M avenue must be observed during school hours or motorists break the traffic law. This stop sign was placed there in the hopes of averting accidents that are always likely around school houses that are adjacent to street or highways. "The scientific truth about ail this diet huslnrftM," In the opinion of Dr. Hubert Hutchinson, of London, "can be summed up as follows: eat mod erately, taking ordinary mixed diet, nnd don't worry about anything else. Likes and dislikes, however, should be listened to." He laughed at rat-ory-couiiters and vltamlnc victims. ... Visitors are very complimentary re garding the La Orando country club golf course, some declaring It Is the best kept course In the Northwest. One sports writer, endeavoring to console golfers, points out that even Bobby Jones has his off days, and recalls scores of 78 and 79 accfedlted to him. We wish we had a cent for each golfer who would give an eye tooth If ho could shoot Just one 70. Now that the California election Is over, maybe our radios will sing more and talk less. . There aro 20 chorus girls available for each Job being offered on Broad way this season. The -situation Is nearly as bad in Hollywood. In spite of that hundreds of girls leave their hemes every year to break Into the "talkies" or the Broadway shows. DO YOU KNOW: The elevation of La Grande above sea levol? ItEAI.IST He is a clri friend and great ad mirer of Hiram Johnson. He makes his home In Washington with his mother with whom he talks over public questions. His progres sive magazine Is his main Interest outsldo his duties as senator. Ho is utterly devoid of any sclf ccnsclousncss as a public man. He Is direct and matter of fact. He deals realistically with all problems which coufront him and seizes upon essen tials. Whllo he is not a conciliator, he docs get along with his opponent. He knows how to relax from hard york somothing his father never could do. j Ho has a. keen sense of humor which Is evident , at all times. His father had It. but did- not exhibit It Iti public like "Young Bob." According to records on file In The Observer office, the elevation of this city (taken in front of "Steward's" Opera House" on Adame avenue) is 2,788.2 feet above sea level.

Helmet Worn By Short Sighted PHILADELPHIA UP) Prank Ya blonskl, University of Pennsylvania guard, will not be kept from the name this year simply because he Is too near-sighted to see the plays. A new type of helmet, combining the unusual feature of a protective mask for optical lenses, has been de signed for him. The- idea was Coach Lud Wray's. The Bpeclal helmet became a neces sity, Coach Wray said, when it was discovered that the rugged guard could not play his best game unless he wore thick glesses. The new mask is a regular head gear in most ways, but unusual In that leather, pressed in the shape of the face, has been stripped across the front to cover the cheek bones and bridge of the nose. Room has been left for Inset eye outlets. Into these outlets it is pos sible to screw circular optical lenses of the same type used by Yablonskl In his regular glasses. The leather protrudes further than the glass, so it Is almost Impossible for them to break. Famous Tomb Is Visited by Fliers WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 (P) A quiet moment of reverence was spent at the tomb of the unknown soldier to day by Dleudonne Coste and Maurice Bel Ion te before the state luncheon at the white house honoring their west ward crossing of the Atlantic. Their wreath of tribute was laid at Arlington while an army bugler sounded taps. The army band had played the Marseille. Be while the airmen walked through the memorial amphitheatre to the tomb. They saw the dome of the capltol and the Washington monument through the mist In the distance. Coste and Bellonte appeared great ly refreshed by a restful night at the French embasuy. The trips to Arling ton and various government depart ments were made In automobiles which travelled at such a pace that me xoreign vistors were seldom rec ognized. Charles A. Lindbergh landed at Boiling field to attend President Hoovers luncheon. Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd and Captain "Eddie", Rlckenbacker, Wc.d war ace, were on the guest list. Horse Jumps; B. A.

The News Used To Be: Health Talks POSITION OF M.KKP "What side is the best to sleep on?"' it a question the physlciim is Ireriurntly nuked. People have the impression that ono position In better than another, Mid Hint some postures are to be avoided. The most unlverKaUy objected -to position is on the left side. You will be told that It interferes with the clrculntlon of the blood niui the frcr action of the heart. Or again, you will be told tlint this position plnrrs a strain on the stomach, nnd brings about a congestion on tho left half of the brain. A srnreh through medical litera ture shows, however, thnt there nre as many opponents to one. as to any other Mlerping posture, and thnt. in fact, relatively little or n convincing nature Is known on the so-called nor mal, or best, posture. Recently, however, nn Interesting contribution to this matter was re pt rled In the Journal of the American Mrdtnil Asoclntlou by Johnson, Sunn ami Weigand. These scientists studied the vari ous pr-s turrit which normal persons take during nonmil sleep. Uy ustiiiK motton-plcture, electrical timing. citxrks, etc.. they were able to secure a record of the different posi tions assumed and of the time dura tion during which these postures were held. The conclusions drawn nre that the healthy ulrcprr does not prefer any one position to the exclusion of all the others. On tho contrary, the healthy sleep er. In the course oi r. typical night of eight hours, changes from one posit ion to another from 20 to 45 ttmra. The Inrgrr number of positions are maintained for but a few minutes, and the average aleeper holds no more than one posture for an hour at a TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (From Observer.

YOU probably recall the old days when bankers were looked upon as ultra-dignified, unapproachable citizens . . . when you were rather fear ful in their presence and stood in awe of their position. That kind of an impression didn't make it easy for a bank to be of any real service in its community. You can't discuss your financial troubles or your business successes with someone you fear or someone that is hard to approach. Now-a-days if you've had occasion to get acquainted with your banker you find he is just a business man. trained and experienced in finance and matters of banking. You can talk to him, and he wants you to talk to him "as one business man to another." Only by intimate, friendly association with your banker can he be valued service to you. And that's what he wants to make it possible; through suggestions, advice, or help, for you to "get ahead." You'll find his friend ship both pleasant and profitable. irt (liraititc fnt:mml Bank Member Federal Reserve Resources over 2 Million rOUTY-THIRD YEAR OF FRIENDLY SERVICE"
