LIFE BASED ON CHANGES Machine Detects Chemical Reactions in Nerve Tissues. .7- : CHICAGO, March i. Dr. Shiro Ta- shiro, a Japanese instructor in the de partment of physiological chemistry in the University of Chicago, has discov ered that every time an impulse passes through a nerve tissue, a chemical change is produced. He also discov ered by means of a machine he recent ly invented, which he calls the bio meter, that every living organism ex hales carbon dioxide when stimulated by natural or mechanical devices. The blometer is able to detect one ten millionth of a gram of carbon-dioxide. .. By a series of experiments on the nervous system of dogs, frogs, turtles? guinea pigs, mice, cattish and spider crabs he discovered that chemical changes in the tissues were essential to I-'--. Dr. .Tashiro ..oved also that seeua'were living, because on stimula tion by a pin prick, the seeds exhaled carbon dioxide gas in a fashion simi lar to the manner that animal organ isms gave out the gas when stimu lated.

A broad organisation of the women of the state, who are the principal pur chasers, to give Impulse to the move ment to eupport home industries by buying home products, is contemplated by the Bureau of Industries and Manu factures of the Chamber of Commerce, and the outline of the plan was placed before the Council of the Parent Teacher Association by Mrs. M. A. Drennon, secretary of the bureau, at its meeting March 2. The first plan is the encouragement of Investment in and financial assist ance of promising new industries, and the second phase in the broad organiza tion of the home Industry movement. "This league is going to the consum ers with a most energetic argument why they should support the home in dustry and build up the local payroll. About 85 per cent of the buying rests with the women. The league will urge them to form home Industry leagues, visit factories, become acquainted with the brand and Quality of goods and the disbursements made in the community by such a payroll, that they may fa miliarize themselves with Industrial conditions. ' The employes of local factories will be asked to perfect home industry clubs within their own ranks to exer cise their Influence In behalf of home products. The school children will be asked to study the subject for their future benefit. WAR ON MEDIUMS TO BEGIN Orthodox Ministers to Take Cp the Question of Spiritualism. Activities of various Spiritualists' so cieties and their patrons probably will get some official attention from the Portland Ministerial Association at the monthly meeting In the Y. M. C A. auditorium this morning. For the last few months these Spir itualistic meetings have sprung up In many parts of Portland like the pro verbial mushroom. People have flocked to the meetings by the score and scores of more-or-less prominent Portland people have attempted to communicate with former friends and relatives in the "spirit world." Now the orthodox ministers do not recogntze any such thing as communi cation with the "spirit world," and may take some action to counteract the in fluence of the Spiritualists. Something may be started today, say the min isters. KLICK IS IN. CIVIC ROLE Kentucklan Visitors at X. E. A. Con vention to Be Welcomed.
