the session laws,
Speaker Selling says he simply
will not support the bill unless the
penitentiary penalty is cut out,
The bill provides a penitentiary
sentence only after three violations
of the law. Selling says a man once
sent to prison has only one chance
in ten of regaining his place in so
ciety.
When a man violates a law three
times in succession he hasn't much
of a place in society to lose. Ben
might apply the same argument to
any law that provides a prison pen
alty. Most all the inmutes in Salem
prison have to some extent lost their
places in society.
Representative Stewart would
have the attorney general appoint
assistants to prosecute liquor violat
ors, because there are county attor
neys who are incompetent and cor
rupt.
It was decided by the committee
that the section relating to druggists
and physicians should be entirely rewritten.
Representative Littlefield said the
thing for the committee to do was to
use the bill for a foundation for n
now bill.
Representative Porter would have
the bill permit druggists to sell liquor
on physicians' prescriptions, after
securing a permit from the circuit
court.
Senator Bishop thought clubs
should be permitted to get under and
be pormitted to have a few drinks on
the quiet.
The hotels want to get in and take
the place of the saloons.
And so it goes.
Until the hearing and the decision
as to the draft of the bill, the mat
tor will be up in the air. After that
the people will get a line on the sen
timent of the legislature and be able
to determine whether they want pro
hibition in Oregon or whether thnv
just want the saloons cut out.

UNCLE SAM'S NAVAL EXPERT.
One Who Does Nothing but Play With
Toy Battleships.
In a long, low building down near the
river In Washington there is a man
who plays with toy shins on a fov
pcenn. And as a result of his play be
can foretell exactly how the big buttle
shlps of the Unilud States navy will
behave in a storm tit sea, and he can
predict to a nicety how much horse
power will be needed to drive the
great transatlantic liners laden with
their passengers and freight. He does
this before even the keels of the ships
have been laid down.
He is a naval constructor In the
United States navy, and the toy ocean
on which he works is the United States
experimental model basin. The sheet
of water In the basin is COO feet long
and fifty feet wide, with a maximum
depth of fourteen feet
But in this limited space the naval
expert, working with a wave maker, a
dynamometer, a towing bridge and
other apparatus, can solve ail the me
chanical problems connected with the
construction of a ship, its probable
roll when struck by giant waves and
the horsepower needed In its tremen
dous engines to drive it through the
water. He works with wooden models
twenty feet long. Some of them wel;b
1,000 pounds, none of them more thau
2,000. The other countries of the
world use paralline models, but he
works entirely with the miniature
ships of wood.
The drawings and plans of the lint
tieshlps to be built by Uncle Sum are
turned over to the constructor by the
navy department's bureau of construc
tion nnd repair. In 0 little shop ad
Joining the building which covers the
model basin the models ore made and
painted. Bags of shot, each weighing
twenty-five pounds, are kept on hand
to bring tlie model up to the corre
sponding weight of the big ship. The
final tests are made In the "toy ocean"
