DIRECTORS I Homelike Efficient Courteous I 5 Telephone 86 ' 7th and Water Sts., Oregon City ALARM WOULD CUT FIRE MENACE New Apparatus Manufactured by Local Concern Made Possible by Unusual Chemical Discovery. A chemical so volatile that it Bolidi fies at 32 degrees temperature and vaporizes at 33, and which is capable of expanding 900 times its original size at 32 degrees when heated to 280 degrees, is the basis of a new signal system called the Thermostatic Elec tric Fire Alarm Combination made by the Fire Prevention company of this city. The instrument actuated by this chemical is known as the Fire Dector, and is covered by a basic patent issu ed to George W. Williamson, .who heads the company, in, December 1920. The chemical is said by its inventor Williamson to be composed of mater ials native to this district and of which there is an unlimited supply. Its contents are an absolute secret with the inventor. At a demonstration held here last week, the Fire Dector was pronounc ed by John E. Young, chief of the Port land fire department, to be the best instrument he ever saw lor the pur pose. The arrangement of the dector is such that the expansion of the chemical, only 3-10 of a drop of which is put in each instrument, sets off an electric alarm which shows on an an nunciator the part of the building or ship in which the excessive heat is. The device can be so regulated that any degree of heat may be required to set it off, but for ordinary purposes It is set for 130 degrees. The chemical is so sensitive' that by regulating the contact points of the elecrical connec lons, it may be set off by blowing the breath upon it Chief Endorses Dector Chief Young's endorsement of the Fire Dector and the apparatus as a whole was unqualified. "I would like to see one of these instruments in every basement in Portland," he said, after it had been demnostrated at the factory here. "There is nothing like it that I ever heard of, and I see no reason why it should not prove a great commercial success. Its operation is simple, and it fills the one great need of a fire department, that of giving the alarm early in the conflagration. If the fire apparatus can get to a fire soon after it starts there would be no reason for the millions of dollars of loss now suffered by lack of prompt notification of the department. This instrument, in view of the fact that it requires no manual operation, should solve the problem. Its automatic fea tures are novel and original, and every fire chief in the country would be glad to see them installed in his city." Not only will the device report the exact location of the fire by ringing NEW TEACHERS NAMED AT MILWAUKIE SCHOOLS Parents' Day Program to be Held Today;' Head of State Association Will Lecture. Three new teachers in the grades and two in the high schools of Mil waukie have just been elected by the local board as follows: Miss Bertha Arndt, Portland, sixth grade; Miss Mildred Bartow, Portland, fifth grade; Miss Edith Griffiths, Oak Grove, fourth grade, and in the high school, Mrs. V. M. Currier of the Tualatin schools and Miss Leitner, Salem. Superintendent B. S. Wakefield and Professar Loren B. Shove, head of the manual training and athletic depart ments, were reelected. Parents' day will be celebrated at Milwaukie high and grade schools to day, with exhibitions of sewing, mil linery and drawing work of the pupils in the afternoon and evening. , Features of the program will be an address by Mrs. J. F. Hill, state Parent-Teacher association head, a play by domestic art classes, a flag pre sentation to the Boy Scouts by a Port land W. R. C. unit and songs by the classes. The afternoon program will open at 2:30 o'clock and the exhibit will be open in the evening, especially for fathers, from 7:30 to 8:30 o'clock. BY MILLS AT MILWAUKIE MILWAUKIE, May 4. The local shingle mills have announced an in crease in the price of all grades of shingles of 25 cents per thousand, the increase being made necessary by the increased price being demanded for logs. At the same time . the mills an nounced that sawyers and packers had been granted an increase of one cent per thousand shingles, which means between 35 and 40 cents a day more for such employes. The two mills here, the Menefee Lumber company and the Thompson Bullis Shingle company, employ close to 60 men, and their payroll is quite a factor in the general prosperous condition of Milwaukie. CARVER, May 5 The Carver State bank has been authorized to increase its capital from $15,000 to $25,000 and Kiirniiis from $1500 to $3500 upon ac ceptance of its application by the , state banking board. ine oanK or ganized and first opened its doors August 14, 1920, and . has steadily grown since that time, and it now bids fair to become one of the strong est country banks in the state.

It may be used to turn on a sprinkler system of water at the place of the fire, and when the heat has subsided it will au tomatically shut the water off again, thereby saving a great deal of loss through water damage, a result often following the use of the old-type sprinklers which require a new head to be installed before the water will cease to flow. The instrument may be connected into the telephone systems in small town, giving the operator a signal when a fire breaks out in any portion of the city. Another use of the dector is in holds of ships, cargoes of materials liable to spontaneous com bustion, and in ' inaccessible places where a fire is liable to smoulder for a long time before being located. Paper Machine Can Benefit Another and very practical use of which this unique machine may be ap plied is as a hot-bearing dector on large machines. It can be so fastened to a bearing housing that the heatinng of that particular portion of the ma chine will signal a central office, giv ing the exact location of the part needing attention. Loss due to over heated bearings runs into considerable money, especially on large machines like the paper machines in Oregon City,- where it costs from $100 to $150 an hour to have a machine idle. It is asserted by the inventor that a num ber of large corporations are planning on early installations of a complete dector system for their machinery. George W. Williamson, the invent or and patentee of the chemical and the dector, is an electrical engineer and chemist, and was the inventor of the high-pressure-acytelene weld ing torch. His torch produced the high est temperature of heat ever recorded in an official government test, it being held in California seven years ago. Associated with Williamson in the project are R. C. and R. G. Coffall. A three story factory has been erected at 2nd . and High streets in this city, capable of producing 20,000 instru ments per day. The whole dector is manufactured here complete, and a selling organization is being formed to insure nation-wide distribution. At the demonstration, attended by offi cials of the local fire department. Chief Young of Portland, a group of local business men and a number of Portland people, the device was put to many tests, all of which it respond ed to accurately. OAK GROVE, May 8. On Friday, May 5, in .Green's hall the county Fed eration of Women's Organizations met in regular session, Mrs. Eva Emery Dye the president presiding. This Fed eration is about a year and a half old and has done some good work. The most difficult problem to get installed into the minds of many is the need of a county library and a visiting nurse.

TAX GROUPS PLANS FOR BALLOT ARE SUBMITTED SALEM, May 10. Classification . of lands and improvements for the pur poses of assessment and taxation is the outstanding feature of an initia tive measure submitted to the secre tary of state here today ' for ballot title. This measure is being sponsored by the Oregon Tax Equalization asso ciation and will go before the voters at the general election in November. It was drafted for the association by Chris Scheubel of Oregon City. The proposed, measure provides that manufacturing and merchandising es tablishments shall be assessed at their full cash value, lands at one half their cash value, improvements on farming lands and all dwellings at one-half their cash value, and all other improvements, buildings and structures at their full cash value. Affixed to this measure are the names of A. Slaughter of Salem, J. D. Brown of Portland, William A. Aird of Oregon City, C. Scheubel of Ore gon City, George A. Mansfield of Portland, C. E. Spence of Oregon City and F. H. Porter of Halsey. A proposed constitutional amend ment submitted by the Oregon Tax Reduction clubs provides that there shall be a two-thirds affirmative vote at general elections for the approval of any measure authorizing the issu ance of bonds or creation of public debt, and prohibiting the submission of such measures at special eleceions. An initiative measure, sponsored by the tax reduction club proposes to repeal the one and two-tenths millage tax for the support of the high edu cational institutions.
