I can not sit com- food." PRIMARY ELECTION DATE . j A bill has recently been introduced in the Oregon state senate by Senator J. E. Bennett, which has for its object elections from the month of May to some time in September. ; In a recent article appearing in the Portland Journal, Alfred E. Smith, former governor of New York and a candi date for the presidency in the recent election, said : j , "There is no reason in the world why a man , ; , should be nominated, for the presidency in the 'month of May . . . The proper thing to do is to nom-; 'inate a candidate in the middle part of September. With our modem means of transportation and communication all the campaigning that is neces . sary can be done in six weeks." There are many who will agree with this reasoning, and if it is true of a presidential campaign there is all the moret reason why the same arrangement will be even more desir able in the case of state primaries. In favor of his bill Senator Bennett gives four outstand-." ing reasons why the change will prove of benefit, and summed up' they ar.e as follows : '1. A shorter campaign, saving the energies of the people and the candidate. .' 2. Less expensive for the candidate. 3. Less time would be given by state appointees in cam paigning for those whq would be their officers; thus permit ting them to give their full time to the duties of their post-, tions. '! 4. An issue of the voters' pamphlet (now costing the tax payers about $14,000) could be dispensed with. One issue of the pamphlet before the primary election would be suffi cient. At the present time twenty-eight states hold their primary elections in either August or September, and there seems to be no valid reason why the state of Oregon should not make the suggested change. , f. t A CANADIAN REPORT J The Canadian Bank of Commerce, in its recent monthly bulletin, reports that for the second successive month the business condition of Canada is better.than that of the world t in general. The report points out the fact that while busi-1 ness activity is still a little slow, the economic conditions have become stabilized, and that no serious disturbances are visible. ' Consumer demand in Canada has been better than in the United States. For example, last year consumption of goods ' fell only 10 per cent below 1929 and only 5 per cent below 1928. The number of construction contracts last year were " 20 per cent below the 1929 figures, but the outlay involved exceeded that of 1928. The report shows. that Canada, so far as industrial operations are concerned, made a good record. The most serious difficulty they are experiencing is that occasioned by the oversupply of wheat and consequent re duction in value of farm crops. The government is endeavor ing to assist in remedying this condition by urging curtail ment of wheat acreage, and providing a fund to be loaned to the farmers to assist them in diversifying their crops. An investigator reports that plants make a noise when growing. Very few of us, however, have yet heard the pop of the poppy, the snap of the snapdragon, the moo of the cowslip, the bark of the dogwood, the roar of the dande lion, the croak of the crocus, the meow of the catnip, or any of a dozen similar noises.

In Washington By Herbert Plnmnier WASHINGTON Perhaps you thought your Uncle Sam was a bit ! extravagant for these depressed times when you read the other day that he had spent 1.800. 000 for an American embassy In Berlin., That was the price paid for the Bluecher palace, located at the head of Unter den Linden In the center of the city, and over which Ambassador Sackett is to preside. Lota of money to pay for an am bassadors residence, you may have thought. As a matter of fact, only a small part of the Bluecher palace will be! allotted to the American ambassa dor for llvlnc quarters. An em bassy certainly this one In Berlin Is mote than a place where brll llsnt sorail functions are given Probably n moic closely resembles j a small ottice building. ! for In the American embassy of I flee apace must be provided lor a personnel of us.

For two days the opposition's tac J!cs had blocked budget discussions. opponents oi tne administration had j charged Sblrehara with, an "Indls-; creet" utieroucs during interpeJla- j tions regarding Japan's security as ! the outcome of the London naval treaty. i Shldehara had replied to the In ! terpellatlons by saying the treaty had been ra tilled by the emperor and that this was proof It did not endanger national security. j Brings Forth Slorm. The foreign ministers answer - brought for-h a storm from the op-, position party, which noisily protest- : ed against his reference to the em-: peror and asserted Shidehara was en-! deavoiing to put the onus on the titular head of the empire. ! Shidehara explained that mention ' of the emperor had been merely a slip . of the tongue and that the govern-; ment had been entirely responsible. That started the storm to brewing, i however, and held the budget com-1 mittee In a two-day deadlock. ; j Earlier today Shidehara had been : denounced and an attempt by the opposition to rush him had been blocked by the police. Tactics Interpreted as designed to unseat the Mlnselto (majority party) ministry or Hamaguchl and Shidehara . immediately preceded today s dls- r turbance. j Feeling against the government be-' gan to crystallize last June when Ad miral Kanjl Kato, chief of staff of: the navy, resigned as a protest against acceptance of the London treaty. Ad-'; mlral Kato had represented a group j of nava lists and others who had be-1 lteved the London agreement too ' much of a concession for Japan to ! .undertake. Earlier today six Jiu jltzu experts were added to Shidehara's police bodyguard after he had-been heckled nd threatened by members of the , Selyukal. or opposition party. ! E "SCARY" GAMES AND STORIES By Alice Judson PenJe When the story of Black Sambo was told to a four-year-old kinder garten group, one little boy burst into tears and rushed over to the teacher, crying, "Please, please stop. I don't want to hear any more!" Jt was the too-graphic telling of poor little Black Sambo's plight, when he thought that all four tigers had ccme back to eat him up, that caused the outburst. To most children the story of lit tle Black Sambo Is entirely delight ful. The roaring tigers, the fear ele ment and the wholly satisfactory out ccme offer Just the right combina tion of excitement and pleasure. But children are not all alike, and there are many who react with vio lent emotion to stories that have leng been considered nursery classics. It is well to study your child care- , fully cn this point and to select your stories accordingly. Frequently stories that are other wise suitable inspire terror because tho grown-up. in an effort to give , the greatest possible delight to his small listener, dramatizes too vividly 1 the cruel, gruesome or fearful ele ments of the story. The tension caused bv a too-exciting story-hour often results in rest- i less sleep, bad dreams and even night : terrors. Another source of such difficulties is found In games which dramatize hunting, shooting, fights with wild animals, or battles with dragons and giants. ! Even the most stable child should not be allowed to indulge In such games Just before going to bed. Children of like age seldom over stimulate one another even at this 1 sort of play. It is usually when child plays with older children o with adults that the make-bellev becomes so real as to frighten him. How to Be Immortal It Is curious how rarely, even by chance, men do endow their words, their Inventions or their ac tions witb their names. It seems tlu;t such an Immortality is more easily earned in the world nf no tion. It Is belter to burke e man. to lynch him or to guillotine hi in. to provide him with a hroushnm or a hansom and a maendnm road to ride on If you wnuhi have your name berome a dictionary word.
