V ' " IMPROVES GENERALLY , . . , , t
With the country entering into the second half of.. the year
.with a comfortable lead over a year ago, it is apparently
facing the. future with brighter prospects and more hope
than for some time past. The gains repoi-ted have been
nubsjantial enough and spread over a wide enough territory
to give credence to the belief that they are permanent and
not due to . any .specific cause but are the result of many
combined factors. .-. - -
The improvement in the lumber industry, which has suf
fered greatly from the depression, especially in the north
west, the advance in prices for the wheat. and, cotton .belts,
and the resulting improvement in the financial districts of
the east have all made their contribution to the trend toward
increased confidence and, consequently, better conditions.
Thd' results of a country-wide survey of business made
by .The New York Board of Trade, Inc., revealed marked
improvement in employment, working hours, wages, pay
rolls,, volume of. sales and public confidence in all sections.
Among the specific improvements noted were gains in post
office receipts, bank clearances, electric and gas consumption,
telephones, industrial production, wholesale and retail sales,
carloadings and railroad and other transportation. ,

While the piesent advance may slow up perceptibly, dui

spirit of co-operatioh between all public officials, organized
business and the public generally in working for the good of
all rather than for self, the citizens of the Grande Ronde

brighter hopes. . . , ,

SLEEPS ONE HOUR A DAY .
Nikola Teslai sometimes known as the dean of American
inventors, with scores of triumphs in electricity behind him
lit the age of 77, says that sleep is a racial habit, growing out
of the fact that we spend half of our life in darkness because
of the rotation of. the earth. He expects to live more than
140 years and says that he sleeps very little. .. .
; "Sometimes I doze for an hour.or so", he continued, "and
once in a long time perhaps once, in u yeaty I have a long
sleep of five, six or seven hours. When I awake .from that,
1 am so full of energy that I have to work it off."
Dr. Tesla thinks that a diet from which poisonous sub
stances are excluded might enable a man to live virtually
without sleep and attain vqry great age. He eats two meals
a. day, the first consisting largely , of fats . to provide fuel
for the day's work and the evening meal of proteins to re
build body tissues. He does not use coffee or tea but regards
alcohol.in moderation as an elixir of life.
Dr. Tesla is still working on inventions and hopes to pro
duce a steel much stronger than that used nt present to
Make possible construction of a building with about one-half
the amount of steel now required. He denounced "pad and
pencil" scientists who, he said, deduced and deduced and
whea they finished had a grain of truth, and ninety-five
per cent of illusion. '
June continues to enjoy much publicity around these
parts.,, More marriage licenses were issued in June than in
any other month so far this year and more babies were

It defies all calculations!-
When the U. S. government sought to borrow ?900,000,000,
not payable in gold, the investors or America offered to lend
more than five billion dollars. , This certainly makes it plain
that abandoning the gold standard has wrecked tho credit

course are given. In addition, sub'

To Help Student Develop
Based on these tests, special courses
are given to help students gain
strength In the skills they need work
in.
A special non-credit course In
reading has been- Cesigned," Mr,
Skeen continued, "to assist sudents
who are weak in the reading skills,
and non-credit subject matter
courses are arranged for the students
who are weak in arithmetic reason
ing, arithmetic computation, spelling,
writing and geography. The course
in reading is placed upon a volun
tary basis, but students who fail In
subject matter testa are required to
take non-credit courses In the sub
jects In which they fail. .. In this
way, the personnel committee hopes
to help the students discover weak
nesses In their preparation and pro
Tide means for . Individual growth
along the lines needed, most."
. Training .School Tests
An elaborate and helpful testing
program for the benefit of the chil
dren enrolled In the J. H. Ackerman
training school has also been worked
out by a committee composed of
niemhers of the training school lac
ulty and the psychology department.
The program tests each child for
strength and weakness in the differ
ent fields.
"To accomplish this aim," said Mr.
axeen. "the testing department gives
standardized achievement tests In
the fall, followed by a battery of
diagnostic tests In the principal sub
jects. Reliable Intelligence tests also
are given. , Later in the year In
formal objective testa based upon
the state course of study are given
in all the subjects taught.
"All this work is planned In such
a way that the students who are
working In the testing department
may not only have an opportunity
to have actual experience in admin
istering the tests, but may also have
experience in working out remedial
programs with their training school
teachers.
"In this way the students have an
opportunity to see how the test re
sults may be used to further indi
vidual growth." News of the Nor

Tho letter was taken from the

that he retained this.

In the bedroom for a "considerable
time," close said, the two men forced
him to get his automobile and told
him to drive to McMinnville. After
they had left Portland, he said, the
men forced .him Into the back seat,
pulled a bath towel over his head,
tied his hands with a rope and
bound his hands to his ankles, threw
him in the bottom of. the car and
covered him with a robe. The men
then drove toward McMinnville.
Soon, the minister said, he was
able to free his hands and feet by
manipulating the ropes.
, , "I took my pen and pencil out of
my pocket," Close told police, "held
one firmly in each hand, and with
all the force I had, Jammed them into
the ribs of the two men.'
" 'Put them up or I'll plug you,"
the clergyman said he shouted.
He sold the men appeared, aston

"I then ordered the big man to
open the door and told him to get
out," Close continued. "He refused.
I grabbed him by the neck and gave
him a push and he went sprawling
out of the car while we were moving
perhaps 25 miles an hour."
He snld the other mnn opened the

Close said he crawled Into the front
