Burnin'' the Road
Regulation of the highways of the state of Oregon
is' becoming one of the most perplexing legislative and
administrative prbblems of the day. In calling a special
session of the legislature for December 19, Governor
Olcott lays added stress upon the need for immediate ac
tion in the solution of traffic problems.
In order to lay the seriousness of the situation be
fore the counties, Secretary of State Sam Kozer will ad-
dress a special meeting of county judges and commis
sioners in Portland December 1 4. The meeting is ex
pected to result in the proposal ,pf some definite reme
dies. Mr. Kozer has asked officials who deal with traf
fic violations over the state to submit suggestions to the
conference, so that some definite basis can be laid for the
working out of the problems of the individual counties..
Judge E. J. Noble, of the local justice court hassub
mitted to Mr. Kozer a set of suggestions as far as the sit
uation in Clackamas county is concerned. It is impos
sible, the judge 6ays, to secure adequate protection with
but one traffic officer. Three at least are needed to
properly patrol the highways. The saving alone to the
roads from the prevention of. overloading -would pay
more than the expense of their operation, he says.
Judge Noble also proposes a record system of all
violations. Offenders, for minor violations, are warned,
and a record of the offense is taken. Thus if the man
hailed into court, the officers have a record of his previ
ous behavior. In a shprt time it is pointed out, this sys
tem would grow so that an accurate check could be kept
and violators punished in proportion to their conduct.
Real penalties for real offenses, together with rigid' polic
ing of the roads, the judge finds is the most plausible
means preventing the abuse of the privilege of the open
road. .

States Get Surplus
War Material For
Road Construction
Approximately $150,0u0,0o0 worth of
surplus war materials, turned over by
the War Department to the Depart
ment of Agriculture, will be distrib
uted through the Bureau of Public
Roads to the various States for road
nuilding purposes by November 30.
Under the Wadsworth-Kahn Bill this
surplus war material is sent to th;
States with the sole provision that it
be used only for road-btilding pur
poses. A vast accumulation cf machin
ery, equipment, supplies, and motor ve
hides that was to have been used .-n
France has thus been diverted to a
useful peace-time purpose.
Included in tho supplies distributed
among the States are 27198 nioior ve
hicles, mostly trucks, 172 locomotives
of various sizes; 25,000 gross tons oi
rails: more than 4,500,000 pounds of
powder, and nearly 10,000 tons of TNT.
. A compilation showing total deliver
ies of war material to tho various
States up to July 1, last, places the
value of machinery, equipment, ami
supplies so delivered at $30,648,77i;
of motor vehicles, $74,730,568; and, of
spare parts, at $11,731,424. The total
value of deliveries to the States up to
that dati was $117,110,771. 'Hint figure

of approximately $11,000,000 which
was retained by .the Department nf

higher bid than one club. One heart

After the dealer, each player in turn,
commencing with the rdaj'er on deal

a bid higher than h3S yet been made,
or to double the last bid, or to re
double a bid which has been doublort
Any bid may be doubled and re
doubled once, but not more. A player
may not double his partner's bid, :. j
re-double his partner's doubl. H3
may, however, redouble a bid of hi-
partner's which has been doubled by
an adversary. '
The order in value of bids from the
lowest up is Clubs, Diamonds. Hearts,
Spades, and No-Trump.
To overcall a previous bid, a player
inus. bid either a greater nu:nber of
tricks, or an equa! number of tricks
of a higher value. For example, five
clubs over four hearts ; four clubs over
three no-trumps; or three hearts over

No other player except Declnrant

QUESTION A discharged battery
can be made to operate the. starter in
a relatively sh&rt time by these new
battery dopes. It will be strong fcr a
few days, and then lose strength very
quickly. Please explain how these
solutions work
ANSWER Some of the so-called
battery ".-ejm voters" do r-;.e v the
ability of a battery to start the engine
in t. short time. However, most of
them operate by r moving the oute
lover of lead sulphate fro mthe dis
charged plate and exposing a fresh
surface of active compounds. The
matt rial which is taken off is forever
lost and naturall ythe life of the bat
tery is greatly s'-iortened. In recharg
ing a battery wirh a current of elec
tric, ty, the way ;hat is rr-commended
by practically battery manufac
turers, this lead sulphate is reconvert

PORTLAND, Nov. 29. There was
four chief developments yesterday in
the investigation following the arrest
by deputy sheriffs Sunday of four of
six persons involved in the sensation
al daylight Fobbery in which the Lib
erty theater was looted of $9162.
Leo Seredrick," alias B. Moroz, one
of the two fugitives, was arrested in
Seattle.
" Harry Barney, trusted employe of
Jensen & Von Herberg, but believed
to be the brains of the band which
robbed the firm, confessed to his part
in the orime, but said the fight ae had
put up had been an eleventh-hour at
tempt to frustrate the robbery he had
planned, -
Hush Money Paid
Mrs. Paul Ordiechuck, at whose
horne in Linnton the loot was said to
have been divided, and who. is sup
posed to have received $200 as "hush
money," was arrested and held in the
county jail as a material witness.
Law officers of Washington and
Oregon were scouring both states
yesterday in a search for John
Printer, the Vancouver man who is
said to have the major portion of the
loot with him and who is accused by
Blarney of defrauding the latter out
of his share in the proceeds.
$7000 Reported on Printer
The division of loot is supposed to
have been made at the home of Paul
Ordiechuck, Linnton, where Watkins
Says he received $1300, Seredrick got
his share, and Printer took his share
and also the shares, "of Barney, Mrs.
Printer, and his son, Andrew. He is
supposed to have in the neighborhood
of $7000 with him. Mrs. Ordiechuck
was given $200 to keep quiet and for
the use of the house during the
"split," say the robbers, but she had
refused to admit that she received
the money or divulge its whereabouts
and is being held temporarily. The
father was left at home in charge of
their nine children.

Kaspberry Bushes
Bear Second Crop
Growing in the sutraon of J. W. Mc-
Connell. of Washington street, be
tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets
in this city, are raspberry bushes
bearing their second crop of delicious
berries. One of the branches measur
ing seven inches long, bears thir
teen ripe berries, ten green ones and
rbout half doztn -blossoms.
In Mr. McDonnell's garden are also
lipe strawberries, plants producing
their second crop, and also of the
Everbearing variety. During the dry
season, Mr. McConnell took special
care of his strawberry plants by al
lowing them a plentiful supply o f
water, and says he believes this to
be a main reason for the second croi
of strawberries. The raspberry Dusn
es have had no special attention, nor
are they of the Everbearing variety.
The strawberries and raspberries
are of. unusual delicious flavor for
this time of the year, and similar to
those grown during the season. .
