NAUTILUS ON FIRST LAP OP TRIP, TO POLE j 5 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whoso mind is stayed i on thee:' because he trusteth' in thee.. Isaiah 2G:3. j ( ; . I f BY-PRODUCTS OF SCIENCE . J j Judged by its fruitsmodern science may not be as magni j ficent an edifice as its builders have been fond of believing j;So, at any rate, says' Professor Arthuit II.,Compton 0f the University of Chicago, winner of the Nobol prize for physics Jn 1927. w.::: . , , ,, : ' i ; Professor Compton told a meeting of the American PhysU j cal Society in Washington the other day that splendid scien tific, achievements often seem to bring rather puny results. -f For instance, consider the young people (and older ones, r-Joo) who fritter away tho best part of the night, and early , h morning hours dancing and dissipating to the tune of the 3 cheap' jazz that flows from a loudspeaker. Is this what 'the ;' great electrical pioneers were working for? ; -That Question is something of a poser, but it can bo dupliV jUpatcd.-wiiib. many other inventions, too. The automobile Js Ia;marvel of .nie'chaViioal jngenuity; but sometimes its chief, 3 results seem to be clogged highways,, a rising toll of fatal ;J accidents, and a, deplorable tendency on' the part of some, j youngsters, who ought to be home in bed, to find question- 3 able amusements far away from parental restraints. I Moving pictures are a miracle of modern science, but some of the stuff that gets thrown on the silver screen today hard- 'j ly seems worthy of the brilliance of the inventor. : . - Likewise, Mr. Bell's telephone is quite an invention; but jjflid Mr. Bell ever dream1 of the hours upon hours of idle gossip that would be sent over the wires ? J So it goes. If the present Ago has a genius for .-producing men who can' accomplish the Impossible, it also has a genius for debasing the miracles that these men produce, putting 5 tnem to silly and inconsequential purposes. $ However, that is not the whole 'story.; Inane radio pro- grams, cheap movies, moronic auto drivqrs, and telephone gossipers ne, after all, only by-products. The important I thing is that these bright and marvelous new tools have been pliuced in our hands, We may misuse them for a while, and perhaps even cut ourselves with them, but once wo learn ;how to handle thorn properly the scientists who brought I thorn forth will be vindicated. ' ! Consider the radio, for example. Some fearful trash does i.-gell put on the air; yet thousands of lives have been saved at sen by the .radio, The radio knife, recently perfected, i has enabled surgeons to perform delicate operations with , more ease and less risk than ever before. Such results surely j I would! satisfy Messrs. Franklin, Maxwell, Marconi, and Do-! Forest. ... ' ' ' J Meanwhile we must put up with the less encouraging fea t tares. That is too bad, but it need not be disheartening. Fire Chiefs Of Oregon Meeting At State College OORVALLIS, Ore., June 5 (P) Rev. Francis P. Lelpslg, pastor of the Eugene Catholic church, was yester day elected to monorary life mem bership in tho Oregon Fire Chiefs' association at tho second day of the annual convention and firemen's school now beln (i hold at Oregon State college. Father Lelpslg, formerly of Cor vulliH, has been active In civic work favored by firemen, and yesterday de livered a personal eulogy in memory or tho lato Chief Tom Graham of Coivallls. l The possibility of effective rural iiro control was report ou oy Chlof W.-P. Vandervelden of Forest Grove, in an address yesterday in which he explained how his department han dles all rural calls and has not lost u Nlngle roof flro within five miles of tho city in the past five years. uescrtueu enroe methods of fi nancing special rurnl eauinmeiit aside from use of the new law for mo protection districts. He emoted statistics showing that rural fire losses jn Oregon lost year averaged 5 per cent of value of property af fected, while In cities the loss was less tnan iu per cent. Paul X. Knoll conducted the first of a series of public speaking ses sions yostorday and Dean Roy D. Hewitt, Willamette university, ex plained laws relating to arson.

NEW LAWS GO INTO EFFECT AT MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page One) referendum moves, and two oC these liiwn liavo been. Uoluyedag n. result until the next tionerul olectton. The twq agulnsb which referendum moves lliive been successful are the closing of the Rogue river to commercial fishing, and the 10 cent tax on oleo margarine, They will do submitted to a .vote of the people. Two others, one on the educational appropriation, and the other on the state police- bill, may be completed before tomorrow, only one of these effects- laws becoming operative at this time. Tho state police bill, should the move to refer it fail, would not become operattvo until August 1. The fifth referendum, against clos ing parts of the McKenule river to fishing from boats, Is expected to full. A total of 403 bills were passed by the legislature and signed by the govornor. Two or these however cov erod the Aamo subject and are ran rosented in tho statutes by two sup uruLo cimpiers. al);ty wp or the measures bore the amci'genoy clause and beoame effective immediately upon- thlr approval by the governor. Most of these were appropriation pleasures. Of the remaining 340 two, the Qleo rnargarllie tax and the Bogus river fishing bill have been, held up by referendum and two others by their own provisions, do not become effec tive until a later date. One of these is me state ponce Dill, and the other the new department of agriculture which does nob become effective un til July 1. New Speed Low Among the more Important new laws Is the "Rules of the Boad." which not' only lilts the Sfi-mile- an hour speed limit, out provides for the three-arm signal system, and uni form provisions, for observance of trafflcv regulations generally. - One phase of the new traifla- node, pro viding for drivers' license applicants examinations, does not become op erative until July 1, Three of the 838 new laws are re pealing oots, Two repeal the so called Eddy acts on the 103& session, placing property Qualifications on voters as. elections involving bond Issues or tax levies. The other re peals the "certificate of convenience and. necessity" Sct relating to ,the operation ot publlo utilities, Another important law changes the personnel of the state emergency board and limit :th amount of money, that can be appropriated by tins body during the bltnnlum, liitangiMea Outstanding To tax payers, th outstanding piece of legislation Is perhaps the ln tunglbles tax act. This Is largely a revamping of the aot- ot 19W which was held to. be unconstitutional by the state supreme court. Thai new act Increases the rate from 6 to 8 per cent, and Is said to overcome the legal objections to the former act. This tax 1b estimated to yield ai.eoo.ooo to the state treasury as an offset to -the present tax paid by real property. The tax to be col lected this- year will' be on Interest and dividends accruing during 1930. The Inaome tax law which the publlo must pay along- with the In-; tangibles tax by June OB. was an In itiative measure passed by the people last November. - The peoples utility district bill. sponsored by the state grange, and rcgarqeu as a part oi. tne aamintstrtt' tlon program along with the utilities commission bill and the hydro-electric act, also becomes effective at this time The other two laws car ried the emergency clause and have oesn operai-ive since s-eoruary. The grange utility bill provides foe the organisation of districts, somewhat similar to auper-hlghafty districts, for the promotion of power plants financed, owned and-operated by the people of the district, The free text-book bill Is anbther measure of state-wide Interesti to go Into effect with the lapse o( the .' uu-uuy period or graoe. under this act school districts throughout the state will be required to undertake a program which will ultimately pro- tain portions of the McKenale and Boosevelt Coast highway, effective vide free text-books for all students Deschutes river to boat fishing. tomorrow.
