A WARNING 100 YEARS OLD An excellent textbook for anyone puzzled by .the trarfc , iurmoil which sweeps Europe these days might be Cnrlyle's "French Revolution." To be sure, Carlyle wrote it eome- thincr like 100 years aero. But it isn t out of date, even so, For the same .lesson which' he drew from his study of the French Revolution can be drawn from the confused and bloody mens in Europe today. It shows that if men get their affairs into a hopelessly .unsound and unjust tangle, and fail to muster the intelli gence and the unselfishness necessary to straighten them .out, forces beyond human control eventually will break loose in a kind of explosion, an explosion which destroys good and bad things alike and visits catastrophe upon saint as well as upon sinner. ' All of this, somehow, seems to apply, with terrible force to the upheaval .which today rends Europe. These riots In France and Austria, these rumors of war and revolution, this massing of troops along boundary lines they didn't happen Just because men suddenly got perverse and Irritable over nothing. They came. Just as the French Revolution came, because human affairs had got Into a dreadful mess, and because great mosses of people became convinced that nothing but violence ever would straighten them out. . The supremo Xoily of the World war, the almost equal folly of the peace treaties, the stubborn Inability of men In high places to see that repression ,and Injustice never can pave the way for anything but trouble these are the direct and logical causes of the present disasters. There still Is time to avoid the wornt consequences. Treaty .revisions, removal of the artifi cial economic barriers which condemn men to starvation In the midst of plenty, liquidation of oppressive dictatorships and a rearrangement along t equitable llnea of national boundaries, would make possible a peaceable solution of Europe's troubles. But If the rulers of -Europe lack the cour age and the vision to apply such measures, one only can remember Carlyle "s ,i warning.

To the memory of our friend James Hoatson : - tie was a man of sterling quality, high character and excellent prin ciples, absolutely honest, honest with himself so that he could not be false to othera. He was a man without guile or subterfuge, sound and true In every way, the most tolerant of men, never speaking a harsh or derogatory word of anyone, but freely condoned and overlooked the faults and frailties In others. He possessed a wonderfully well bal anced mind. Independently clear- sighted and placidly philosophic, se curely grounded in his own precepts and Ideals. Although clearly Intelligent above most, he was always unassuming, but nsver-the-less .ready at all times to speak out for what he believed In and took an active part in all matters of public and community Interests. No matter now he may have been suffering from Illness. or troubles, no one ever heard him complain, but Instead he always greeted his friends and acquaintances with a glad smile and some cheering words. On the whole he lived a life well worth emulating by any one and was liked and respected by all who knew him. He will be sorely missed and deenlv mourned by the people in Cove, who reel nis departure as a real loss to the community. Therefor. I humbly tender mv nin. cere homage and deep-felt admiration ror me cnaracter and personality, to bis memory. Prom a Friend. F. STEINBECK IS RECOVERING FROM INJURIES Fred Steinbeck, of Cove avenue. who received very painful Injuries the first of the week. Is reported as Improving satisfactorily at the Grande Ronde hospital. Steinbeck, who is In the emiJloy of the highway depart ment, was operating the grader oh Meadowbrook hll Tuesday morning following the rain which made the road very slippery. The grader had been slipping from the road, down the steep . grade and was pulled back to .the road when the tonaue made a turnover and struck Steinbeck on the left side of his back Just above the hip. Attending physicians re port that had the blow fell on al most any other part of the body, the results hight have been fatal. As it was, he received a very severe and exceedingly painful body bruise but no bonoe were broken, -or any organs Injured, it Is believed.

Launching- of Ciencral Tt'troleum Corporation's 1934 sale3 campaign -yesterday (ji conjunction with thu introduction of its new product, General Mobilgas, brings to light the' curious fact that for the tirst -time en record n gallon of gasoline has been shipped from New York to Los Angeles as closely pruardc-d as though it were gold, platinum or precious stones. In fact Railway Express Agency, in charge oi it, classed it under tho heading of 1-irge value shipments, bullion, etc. Vigi lance was not relaxed even when il reached the west coast, for there it was transported by armored car to General Petroleum headquarters. The shipment arrived in Los Angeles shortly nftor tho famous Torture Test cars which have been familiar on the Pacific Coast for several weeks past. Those car3 had just completed a transcontinental run-without radiators, the last of a long"tferio3 of grind irtfr tests made over the past thrco years which "has Tesulted'in the discovery of a avcret formula from which had been pro duced tho treasured gallon of gaso line. It had been sent from the New York headquarters of the So-conv-Vacuum Company, of which Genori'.l ii the Pacific Coast affili ate, nn l no chnncer were allowed to bo taU"n on -either the formula or ths new fuel sample going astray. Tells Aims Tho entire episode, as well iUis yesterday'.; introduction of General Mobilj;a:i to the Pacific Coast mo torist, was the oulf.Towth of one of tha most interertin;: stories in: the history of the p-trrbum industry, aec;ir;ity.T to A. II. DcFricst. vice president in charge of ?aies for General Petroleum Corporation. 'Some years nrro," h? raid, "Gen eral scientists, tothc with those of the entire Kocony group, decided to do what had never been done be fore, produce a perfect gasoline; one that would give utmost power, mileage, acceleration, freedom from knock and vapor lock under all cli matic and atmospheric conditions. All ,gasoline3 had some of these qualities; none had all, of them. Drastic Tests "Tist3 never previously at tempted were decided upon. The entire North American continent was chosen as a laboratory. The scientists' idea was to literally tor turo test gasolines, break them down and show up their weaknesses under climatic and driving ex tremes. So cars were equipped with caterpillar treads and sent in to tho arctic snows of Moose Fac tory, northern Canada, where an automobile had never been before. Others were sent south through mud; mow and sleet to the tropic heat" of southern Meiico.' tstill ' others went to Death Valley, 300 feet below sea level, where in al most unbearable temperatures they travelled the burning sands night and day, often without radiators. After that the Death Valley cars were driven from America's lowest point to its highest, up the slopes of Mount Whitney to an altitude never before reached by automo biles. And finally two cars were driven from New York to Los Ange les and up and down tho Pacific Coast without radiators or cooling system 3.' Out of these tests, DcFrieBt de clared, has come General Mobilgas, a motor fuel which, judging by the fir3t few days sales, General of ficials anticipate will result in the heaviest increase in business in any year of the Company's history. Its refraction, and a motion picture projection room for the enlargement and study .of microscopic views of living matter. The curriculum of the university will include courses of on tology, biology, chsmlstry, physics, harmonics of music. Ancient and medieval philosophy and modern metaphysics. The communication to Mrs. Tull carried with it her appointment as district registrar and the right of pre liminary enrollment of students, pending their matriculation.
