Committee Named to Draft
New Legislation.
DRUNKEN DRIVER SCORED
Conference of Motor Vehicle Ad
ministrative and Traffic
Officers Closes.
Formation of an executive com
mittee to draft new legislation re
lating to traflic on highways in six
western states and British Columbia
was the principal business trans
acted at the second and closing day's
session of the conference of motor
vehicle administrative officers and
traffic officers of California, Idaho,
Oregon, Washington, Montana ai)d
British Columbia, at the Multnomah
hotel yesterday.
Sam A. Kozer, secretary of state
of Oregon, was elected chairman of
the committee and other members
are: L. D. McArdle, director of the
department of efficiency of the state
of Washington; Fred J. Dibble, di
rector of licenses of Washington;
Robert O. Jones, 'secretary of state
of Idaho: H. B. Crockett, secretary
of state of Utah, and Charles J.
Chenu, chief of the division oX motor
vehicles, California.
Uniform Law Wanted.
The new committee is empowered
to meet at the call of the chairman
or of any two members. Its first
business will be to hold meetings
at which a uniform law governing
interstate- and intra-state traffic
will be submitted to the various
lawmaking bodies of the states
represented and British Columbia.
Oregon paved 103 miles of high
way last year at a cost of $28,100
a mile. The average width of these
highways was 16 feet and the aver
age depth was five inches. Wash
ington paved more than that num
ber of miles at a cost of J28.300 a
mile and the average width of the
roads was 20 feet and average depth
seven inches, according to Douglas
Shelor, manager of the Automobile
Club of Western Washington.
"The speed limit for motor ve
hicles in our state," said Mr. Shelor,
"is 35 miles an hour, while Oregon's
speed limit is but 30.
Wide Itoada Safer.
"Why did we build our highways
wider and deeper than Oregon? And
why did we increase the speed limit?
The answer is service to the motor
vehicle driver. It is just as safe
to drive 35 miles an hour on our
roads as to drive 30 miles on Oregon
roads and our thoroughfares cost
practically the same.
"Oregon has 135,000 automobiles,
Washington has 200,000 and Califor
nia has more than 800,000. Call
fornia's speed limit is 35 miles an
hour and California's laws governing
traffic and highways are admitted
to be the best in the United States.
We copied the California laws. Ore
gon should follow in our footsteps
"Examination of drivers with a
view to eliminating incompetents on
our highways is bound to come in
every state of the union. We are
already contemplating the drafting
of a law providing for this.
Law Enforcement Aided.
''The Automobile Club of West
ern Washington is hacking law en
forcement officers of the state to
the limit. In times past auto clubs
acted on the theory that every mo
torist except their own members
should obey the law. But times have
changed.
"If a man gets drunk and drives a
motor car he should be sent to jail.
He has no more right to escape than
any murderer. An intoxicated auto
mobile driver is a potential mur
derer at all times."
Municipal Judge Ekwall of Port
land contributed an impressive pa
per at the conference. He said he
has made it a practice to punish
careless, reckless and intoxicated
. drivers to the full extent of the law
in the sinx months Since he took
office.
Drunken Drivers Scored.
A dozen other speakers, represeat
attves of the various states which
sent delegates to the conference,
picked on incompetent drivers and
lambasted John Barleycorn and
Milady Lotusblossom without any
consideration whatever. It devel
oped during the discussion that nar
cotics users are just as culpable as
those who imbibe too freely of
strong and rebellious liquors.

tenjoys the luxury of playing oppo
site his own wife, and then .accord
ing to the scenario, suffers the
humiliation of being rejected by her.
LOVE beckoned love with a price
tag on it. But it was more
than she was willing to pay.
So Anita Stewart, in "Rose o' the
Sea," the current attraction at the
Columbia theater, rejected the eon
and married the dad. It was a case
of wasting her love on a reckless
youth and being paid in full by the
father.
This story of a working girl has
figured in numberless plols before,
but the writers have invested it with
many unique and interesting twists
and turns. Rose Eton,, played by
Miss Stewart, is a homeless waif,
the sole survivor of a wreck at sea.
Later she becomes a saleslady in a
florist's. There ehe attracts the at
tention of Elliott Schuyler, an ldl3,
useless booze-hound, played by Ru
dolph Cameron, in private life the
husband of the star. As the result
of an accident to him the girl be
comes acquainted with his father
and runs up against old Knicker
bocker conventionality. The father
sees in this unsophisticated girl
the means of winning back his son
from the glittering lights of Broad
way. . But the plans go all wron.
The girl is found in another man's
room at a house party. They do not
know that she went there to obtain
possession of a check that the son
forged. But eventually itleaks out
and the father realizes that he is
in love with the girl himself, slightly
prior to which- the . son simplifies
matters by secretly wedding the
girl of his choice.

How do you pick
your insurance
company?
First, there's the matter of "re
serves" the proportion of capital
and surplus to the risks assumed.
In Oregon, the state law is that the
reserve must be 50 of the first
year's premiums and 66S of the
three-year premium. This ratio,
the Insurance Commission deems
guarantees absolute safety to policy-holders.
Yet, Pacific States has
in addition to this reserve in all
over a million dollars capital and
surplus invested in highest grade
securities. This gives us more
assets in proportion to our liabili
ties than any other company!

Portland cement, to meet
the exacting specifications
of leading engineering soci
eties' and the United States
Government, must be
ground so fine that at least
78 per cent will pass a sieve
having 200 wires per linear
inch. A silk handkerchief
has but 110 threads per inch
an excellent quality of
silk dress goods 187 threads.
The watch in your pocket hardly
calls for a more complicated and
carefully adjusted process of manu
facture than the making of cement.
Grinding is only one of the many
operations required to make it.
Yet in grinding alone, see what is
required:
The rocks from the quarry, often
as big a3 a piano and heavier, go
first into a gigantic "coHee milL"
It bites at these huge chunks,
. chips them, and finally crushes
them to pieces six inches or so
in diameter.
Two finer mills follow, one after
the other, reducing the stones to
; the size of coarse sand. After this,
they must be ground in a great re
volving cylinder half filled with
steel balls, until every cubic foot
of the rock has been reduced to 1 4
billion pieces until 85 per cent
of them will shake through a sieve
that willactually hold water,a sieve
with 40,000 holes to the square
inch.
And all of this is less than half the
necessary grinding. The coal must
be ground. For the object of all
this fine grinding of the raw ma
terials is only that it may be fused
into crystalline clinkers. And to
fuse it requires pulverized coal
or its equivalent. Most plants use
pulverized coaL
The coal must be ground as fine
as the raw stcne. Eighty-five per
cent of it or thereabouts must go
through the sieve that holds
water. And that often means two
grinding operations.
There is still the clinker to be
ground. It is glass-hard to begin
with. It must be ground first to the
fineness of sand, and then ground
and reground in another cylinder
X " of steel balls until at least 78 per
cent of it will go through the
sieve woven finer than silk.
Huge bowlders to an impalpable
dust. Common coal to an impal
pable dust, and finally, after the
, burning, glass-hard clinker to an
impalpable dust. That is the mak
ing of cement. And eight heavy
grinding operations are required
in the process.
Grinding is only one of the lesser
heat and power consuming oper
ations in cement manufacture.
