State police officials were ask ed to aaaiHt In the Investigation. Jerrold Owen, secretary of the com mission, announced that In the two cases where loans wore rejected, one from Eastern Oregon and the other from Southern Oregon, it was evident that real estate owners had given thoir property to some Work! war vet erans who had not yet taken advan tage of hie loan, then after the loan was secured, the property would be transferred to the original owner. Owen said this form of conspiracy hae resulted from the difficulty in securing loans on real estate, with the bonus commliwion being virtually tho only source for such loans In the state, but made only to World war veterans. Many vaterana have not se cured loans and some of these are ', being exploited by property owners desiring loans for business purposes, j ho declared. Demands for loans under the bonus law in Oregon are increasing , ruther than decreasing, the secretary j reported. The commission had esti- j mated loans in June would be about 960,000, but the total for the month was $74,000. July loans are showing, the same comparative Increase. I Pals ' Th0 Ncw Doy Pc 19c Cullop, Big League 'Flop9, Again Shines In Minor Leagues COLUMBUS, Ohio fT") Freed of the major league bugaboo, Nick Cullop again Is denting outfield fences In the best style that got him four dif ferent trials In the big show. Whatever It is that prevents Big Nick from showing tho boys under the big top how it is done, doesn't feazo him a bit back In the minors much to the distress of Ameri can association pitchers. Cuilop, now an outfield star for the Columbus Senators, Is in the league home run race and is batting around .370. Yet, this time last year he was hitting a miser able .200 or so for the Cincinnati Reels . Nick's great minor league show ing has brought him excellent chances with the Yankees, Brook lyn. Washington and Cincinnati. But he never did come even close to sticking lip there. Down hero In the circuit where a few years ago while with Minne apolis he net a league home run record, Cullop drives the home fans silly with his terrific home run wallops and tho fever always spreads to the visiting scouts. The scouts still like him but their Judgment this time un doubtedly will be tempered by the knowledge o the four straight times the big blond slugger has fizzled in faster competition. That suits Nick. He never did care for big league play. That Is not sour grapes, either. At least Big Nick says as much. Labor Department : On 5-Day Week Now WASHINGTON.

Because of the Importance of the Round-Up to the community Pen dleton has always been adequately able to house the thousands of vis itors who throng Its streets during the show. Mt Glen Personals. Chick's Shin Bone Used To Test Cod Liver Oil Potency ST. PAUL W Shin bones of baby chicks have been added to the list of aids to science at the University of Minnesota farm school. The vitamin D content of cod Uver oils now can be ascertained, says! H. A. Hnlvorson and L. L. Lac hut, chom IkU', through examination of the chicks' shin bones, or tibiae. Groups of day-old chicks are fed mixed diets, including the cod liver oil In varying amounts, for five days. The birds then are killed and the lower left leg bone of each is re- ) moved, dried, and crushed. After being treated with alcohol and ether, the crushed bone Is "ashed" in an electric furnace. The percentage of ash In the bone .In dicates the amount of calcium: or lime deposited. Vitamin D assists In the depositing of this substance. A large percentage of ash indicates a strong shin bone and an oil rich in Vitamin D content. 'HUB MONDAYS' IN SIA.M? TIIKY'UK YIXLOW INSTIvAl) BANGKOK.

Branner presented scientific papers before a group of doctors Monday night when the Union County Medi cal society had its annual monthly dinner meeting at the- La Grande hotel. Dr. Ager's paper was on "Tho Com moner Causes of Headaches" and re lated especially to eye diseases. She stressed the point that headaches are more likely to occur with slight errors of refraction, such as astig matism, of which the Individual may be unaware, rather than from more obvious deficiencies of vision. "Coronary Thrombosis," a disease of the blood vessels in the muscles of the heart wall, was Dr. Branner's subject. He called attention to the frequency of this condition and dem onstrated that the disease Is one of the most common causes of sudden death. The symptoms are often re ferable to the digestive tract and may lead to the wrong diagnosis by the individual, ho explained.
