A MORAL CLEAJN lit Another chapter has been written in the history oi the Oak Grove dance pavilion as, a result of booze partici pation in the luxurious "hop" entertainment at the place on iSaturday night last. One poor drunk was put in jail drunker than other drunks and though not now drunk he still lingers behind the bars in the cool basement of the county's bastile awaiting trial for drunk and disorderly while drunk. in the meantime, the proprietors of this resort a man and a woman are also awaiting trial on a charge of running dance without license from the county court., defying these officials and claiming immunity from coun ty jurisdiction through a state corporation permit. An other arrest for drunk and disorderly was made here re cently. These individuals propose to run this place without respect to the moral or decency rights of the community and its high time it was determined whether they or the county is in authority. The 'moral law abiding element of Clackamas county should and it is expected will commend and support the sheriff, the court and prosecution in trying to purge the county of this moral leper. Of itself it will not change its spots. TRAINING LITTLE CITIZENS These Articles published weekly in these columns are Issued by the National Kindergarten Associ-' ation, New York City ' A COMMENDABLE SPIRIT A teacher who picks the smallest community she can get, such an an omaly is Miss Margaret V. Thomas, now la student of the University of Oregon summer session. Miss Thomas never tries for a big school; she sel ects the smaller places from choice, realizing an oppprtunity to do a great deal besides simply teach the school subjects. . Miss Thomas's outfit includes terop ticon slides and a carbide generator, and an occasional motion-picture film is shown. ' "We produce the 'movies' ' in the darkened schoolhotise", Miss Thomas explains, "and a victrola plays between the pictures while we ventilate the room. The children are eager to help. They are happy to ;be allowed to run the victrola or even open the win dows." Not only does Miss Thomas take the slides to those people who are far from cities and towns of any size, but after making them interested in doing things on a community scale she or ganizes children and adults into groups and manages basket socials, picnics, plays, all with the intention of helping them raise the funds which enable them to bring in slides more often. - "They are so responsive," she said. "If you love them and do things for them, they will love you almost to death. And those children are not 'fed up', on. -city movies; they get a good deal out of the university films. "The people in the small settlements are pioneers ; their children are the children of nioneers, and are the fin est in the country. - They deserve the ! best the state has to offer," i Miss Thomas has used the industrial films Imost, also the geoghaphic and historical. Her whole aim is to stim ' ulate community life in the smallest 1 places and to add to the sum total of happiness. She taught last year, at Heceta, a lonely spot on the Oregon cost, and next year she will be near Reedsport. tricts and her booze has far less crime proportionately than has America. , And for this condition her courts and executive officers must be credited. In the ratio that pun ishment is speedy and sure the criminally inclined decline or seek new fields for operations - May Cackamas county set a new record in the matter of law enforcement to the honor of her fair name and the safety of her citizens. idleness. Nor is this all. In ntaintaining these men in idleness the state breeds in them greater con tempt lor honest service than they knew before the, state took them under direct control. Their criminal tendencies are cultivated by idleness and society pays for the in struction. And in this the state is guilty of an intoler able' social and economic crime. One of the pressing civic economic needs in Oregon is to begin to reduce expenses and to make productive citi zens out of its cnminals by putting the latter to work in productive industry. With no change so far in Marion-county in the rela tive number of votes for the opposing gubernatorial can didates the final outcome at this rate will not be difficult to forecast. . Miss Mathilda McCormick is very desirous' she says that Americans shall forget her. In fact she says this is her greatest desire. And for the real red-blooded Ameri can nothing can be easier. HELP SAVE THE DAIRIES ONE WAY TO LESSEE CitOlE Strenuous effort is put forth by the dairying interests of the country to prohibit the shipment of skim milk com pounds through interstate commerce on the basis that they are "adulterated and deleterous articles of food. Con gress has been asked to pass such bill. Labels on the containers proclaim it unfit for infant foods, but of real value in bakery products. The matter resolves itself into a contest for and against the dairies which are now becoming fewer every year as a result of many causes substitutes for dairy products, high cost of feed and shortage of help on farms and dairies. The dairy industry should be encouraged and one and the most effective way is by discouraging substitutes anfi the so called skim milk compounds consisting of skim milk and cocoanut oil is one of them.

' There can be no doubt that the species of crime men tioned here has been until recently encouraged by the general wish-washy attitude of the courts, of times abetted oy the "it can't be enforced" attitude of officers. But here in Clackamas county, the booze shysters, who feed like parasites on the weakness of other, the speed fiends who drunk or sober threaten the lives of others while they defy the law are beginning to sit up and take notice.

' This friction may be of two kinds the friction of metal on metal, due to the failure of the oil to preserve a lubricating film between the bear ing surfaces, or the. friction of oil on oil the internal, molecular friction of the lubricant. Too heavy an oil, or an oil lacking in "oiliness" the quality that makes it cling to the bearings while at the same time offering a minimum of internal or fluid friction constitutes a direct drain on the available horsepower of your "motor. The right body at all operating temperatures Made from carefully selected crudes and scientifically refined by our patented high-vacuum process, Zerolene has great "oiliness." It clings to bearing surfaces, while offering in itself a minimum of frictional resistance to the engine power. Zerolene maintains the right lubricating body under all conditions. As the engine gets hot, bearing clearances decrease. Analysis of Zerolene shows that the variations in its body, at the various engine temperatures, follow in close relation the decrease in bearing clearances. Because of their "oiliness," stability and purity, Zero- lene oils give perfect lubrication and help to develop the maximum power, speed and gasoline mileage of the car.

The characters of this little treatise were represented as in the neighborhood of the Jordan. i xne propnet now tooK irom nis gir dle," says the narrative, "a small in strument resembling a trumpet for the deaf. Coming down to Mohammed, he asked him1 to turn his right side to ward the southland, to put the broad end of the instrument to his right ear. The prophet then inquired where his home was. - " 'My home,' replied Mohammed, 'Is in the extreme south of Arabia, 1,400 miles away.' " 'Listen now,' said the prophet ; 'dos't thou hear the sound of waves?' "I do," replied the sheik, 'Where may they be?' " 'These waves,' answered the proph et, 'are ttie waves of the Indian ocean breaking upon the Arabian shore.' " ' Further describing the instrument, the prophet said: "The thing before thee- is but a rude pattern in part of the coming needed device of man. No such device is required by a prophet of the Lord to entrust the lightning with a message. The prophet speaks, nay, he needs but to will, and it Is done." Toronto Globe. HAS BIG LEAD IN VOLCANOES United States Can "Boast" of More Than a Quarter of Those Known to Be Active. Uncle Sam owns more than a quar ter of the active volcanoes of the, world, the report that two more have been born in Alaska making the grand total 106. There are 64 smoking peaks in Alaska and the Aleutian islands and many more in western United States, Hawaii and the Philippines. It is likely, however, if many of the .so called vents of the Mount Katmai region of Alaska would be classed as volcanoes this country could boast of the majority of the old earth's skin troubles an unenviable record. There are 417 active volcanoes on the globe that have been located to date. There are numerous peaks in the Philippine islands not sufficiently well known to establish whether they are volcanoes or smoke pots or vents. In Alaska there are hundreds of vents from which cpnstantiy issue steam and" smoke, but which are not called vol canoes. - An occasional volcano bursts forth from the sea near the Aleutian inlands, bat finally succumbs tg the flood of sea vater. .
