Edward E. Brodie,' Oregon City newspaper publisher and
former U. S. minister in Finland and Siam, has been appoint
ed bv Governor Meier to the state liquor control commission
The selection of Brodie is an excellent choice.. A man of
character, good judgment- and real business acumen, he will
do much for the improved conduct of the commission to
which he has been named.
The Boy Scouts of Ia Grande can count their service here
during the 15. ol L. K convention and the" hemi-Centennial
celebration as their big1 "good turn" of the yeai'. Although
the' events are some ten days in the past, comments are still
beinjr heard of the excellent work of the boy scouts. They
were courteous and alert to all requests, and on duty con
stantly when their services were needed.
The committee announces that local business underwriters
of the recent railroad celebration will be asked to draw' from
their pockets sixty per cent of the amount they agreed to
subscribe to pay expenses of the affair. In one way this may
seem a ratner heavy toll lrom the right angle however,-con-sidering
the splendid show that was-put on and' the wide
spread arid favorable publicity La Grande received as conse
quence, the charge is small indeed in comparison with value
received. It is to bo hoped that final collections may be made
without delay in order that all' bills may be promptly paid
Economic law has proven that no man and' no government
can find a way to prosperity by spending beyond his or its
means; that the wily to recover is to retrench, t6 live within
income again', and to find the income through labor and indus
try in supplying wants. Some of our brain trusters in charge
of governmental affairs today would apply the theory that
wnen a man s income runs oeiow nis expenditures he should
borrow all he can and then spend' it all in an effort to revive
his prosperity. Partially due to some of this theoretic logic
our government if! today faced with a debt of forty millions.
Someday we must go back to the natural law.
Oregon this week will extend warm welcome to President
.lioosevelt1, when he lands upon our shores from his vacation
trip to: the islands. Thousands will go to Bonneville dam
site to see and hear our illustrious leader. Whatever we may
think 'or say of some of his administration our President is a
fine type who holds general public affection and admiration.

The city is using the water from the

Commissioner Henry said ho is at

last as long as possible without
placing restrictions on the use of it.
The water from the deep wens was
used for 15 years before the gravity

WASHINGTON Five nicm!)ers of

ing this Kuminer to devise some
scheme whereby the tempers of con-wri-y.sinen
may be kept running more
I Miioothly.
I O'Connor of New York, Or'uwood
of Indiana and Hmlth of Virginia, all

land U-hlback of New Jersey, Ucpub-
ucitns, imw. been charged with think
ing up Hume way of handling the
ilioununu ,,f private bills and claims
ai:;iinst the government which are
clumped every year into the hopper
of the houne ami wuate.
1 rohnbly nuthtug in Iioiisa pro
mime rIvck the leadei-s such a hend
aclie as the private calendar. On
sevifml tliffeivnt occasions during
the l.-,t session the house found it
Mf completely jmnilyzed and un
able to proceed becan.iu of It.
One Objection
The difficulty lien in the fact that
hills on the private calendar virtually
must be disposed of by unanimous
.oiisent. on- objection to a bill
during its consideration holds It up
lor the time being. If it Is called up
"gull,, three objections can kill it
entirely.
fcagle of Texan, for example, near
the close of the last session held up
all of the hills on the private calen
dar single-handed. Someone previ
ously had objected to a hill of his
which would have adjusted n claim
of $4,000.
Eagle was frank about it, He ser-
Wnat we did, we did for: our coun
try."
While the punishment lor treason
was being meted out, the new govern
ment headed by Chancellor Kurt
Schuschnigg strove against a renewed
bombing campaign to restore peace in
Austria.
Injected Into the Austrian situation
also was an indication hy official
quarters from the government in
Belgrade that Yugoslavia resenwi the
idea of Italy flaying a lone hand In
guaranteeing Austrian indejwndence.
It was said the Yugoslavian govern
ment held that the question of Aus
trian Independence was a matter for
all of Austria's neighbors who should
be consulted before any stops are
taken.
An Italian spokesman In Rome
said Italy was not ierturbed by tho
Belgrade statement and that it had
not been Italy's idea to play a lone
hand in the Austrian situation.:
The two Nfl'is sentenced to death
in' Vienna' were Otto Planetta. a for
mer arlny sergeant, and Fran?. HoIt:
robet. They were found guilty of
high treason in connection with the
assassination of Austria's chancellor,
E'ngeibert Dollfuss. They were the
first Nazis to receive the death sent
ence since the Dollfus decree of death
for persons guilty of seditious activ
ities.
With their revolt nil but stamped
out, the Nazis started a new reign of
terror by exploding bombs in various
liar Is of Austria. Explosions were
reported both in the provinces and
In Vienna.
The new government headed by Dr.
Kurt Schuschnigg struck a' heavy
blow at Nafcis, ordering them placed
In concentration camps at hard labor,
their property to be confiscated.
Berlin newspapers predicted that
the Schusschnigo; cabinet would not
last. It stands on "weaker feet" than
the Dollfuss ministry, one newspaper
HUld.
The French reaction to the Yugo
slav statement on Austrian Independ
ence was understood to be a notice
by Louts Bnrthou, French foreign
minister, to Yugoslavia, Czechoslo
vakia and Rumania to "keep hand a
off. Leave decisions to the big
powers."
From the Baker Democrat-Herald:
One of the most beautiful weddings
of the season was solemnized Sunday
afternoon at 4 o'clock In St. Stephen's
Episcopal church when Miss Dorothy
Hayhurst, daughter of Mrs. Pearl
HayhUrst of Haines, became the bride
of Mr. Harold C. Palmer, son of Mr,
and Mrs. Charles C. Palmer of Briker,
The Hev. George Foster Pratt, rec
tor of St. Stephen's church, officiated
before an altar' banked with Shasta
daisies, sweetpeas and baby breath
Baskets of gladioluses and larkspur
completed tho decorations. .
Preceding the ceremony Mrs. John
Palmer sang. She was accompanied
at the piano by Mrs. Mnry Hester
Balrd. who also played the wedding
march.
The bride, who was given In mar
rlngo by Mi'. Frank Locnnig, , was
lovely lit a gown of white satin cut
on long flowing lines with a beauti
ful fan-shaped train. Her veil wns
caught in place by orange blossoms
and she carried a shower bouquet of
bride's roses. Miss Beatrice Loennlg,
maid of, honor, wore pink taffeta
and carried an arm bouquet of deep
pink roses and sweetpeas. The twin
bride's maids, Miss Marie and Miss
Marlon Kooch, wore robin egg blue
taffeta and carried bouquets of blue
ved notice that he would not permit
n single bill to pass until that one
of his which was so "cruelly and un
justly slaughtered" was approved.
He relented on the closing day of
the session, but before he did he an
nounecd that if he was returned to
the next congress either the one
man objection rule would be amend
ed "or there wilt not be one single
private bill pawed in the seventy
fourth congress."
I'eiice Stivers
The ablest parliamentarians in
congress for years have endeavored to
work out a better plan for disposing
of bills on the private calendar.
Since the claimants can't sue the
government their only recourse Is
to enlist tho aid of their representa
tive in getting a bill through appro
priating the money. Often the time
spent cost more- than the claim.
In the face of threats such as the
one made hy Eagle and others a re
form is said to have become definite
ly necessary.
And every congressman knows it
is this type of legislation which does
most to keep his poltical fences In
good shape back home.

'Perfect Mirror
Found; It Can't
Be Scratched!
Hy Howard XV. Wake lee
. (Associated Press Science Editor) .
ITHACA, N. Y. UP) The -perfect
mirror, one which reflects all the
light but which cannot be scratched,
is near realization . in the Cornell
university physic laboratory.
. The newest one, is a combination
of glass, chromium and aluminum,
described in the Physical Review by
Dr. Robley C, Williams, Cornell
physicist. It Is made' by evaporating
chromium as a mist on top bf glass
and over the chromium a film of
evaporated aluminum.
The glass is first cleaned to a
shlniness no housewife ever Imag
ined. It Is washed with chemicals.
Then It is given an electric bath.
This Is done 4y placing it in a
vacuum and bombarding the glass
surface with ions, which are frag
ments of atoms, produced by elec
trical energy.
Hardened by Washing
Electric furnaces successively va
porize chromium and aluminum and
deposit them In films thick enough
so that the glass is no longer visible.
wnen first deposited," Dr. Wil
liams' report states, "this chromium
aluminum film can be scratched
fairly easy, but It Is hardened In
stantly by washing In water, al
cohol, or even by condensed breathing.
HeslHtJi Scratching
"The resulting hardness ia ntnn
inning, rubbing with a blunt steel
instrument, or even with steel wool
affects the film only slightly.
"A chromium - aluminum sample
was coated with a layer ot kerosene
soot onto which was dropped sand
and grit, and the mirror waa then
cleaned with alcohol and water. This
was repeated 20 times, with the re-"
unit that only the faintest surface
scratches could be detected. The
tenacity of the chromium-aluminum
film is such that nothing has yet
been found that will strip it from
the glass."
The surface is entirely aluminum,
a material, which reflects more wave
lengths of light than glass, and as
much as any kind of metal so far
developed. Aluminum reflects not
only visible light but much of the
ultra-violet.'
