SURVEY OF MENTAL
DEFECTIVES IS ON
Active Aid of Professional Men,
Teachers and Many Others
. Enlisted. :
University of- Oregon. Eugene, July
17., The Oregon state survey of
mental defectives, delinquents and
dependents now being; conducted by
Dr. Chester I Carlisle of 'the' Uni
versity of Oregon under direction of
the United States public health ser
vice Is beginning: to produce results,
and hundreds of cards are pouring
in dally from enthusiastic Repre
sentative cititens hi all of the 'coun
ties of the state. To date approxi
mately 25,000 pieces of mail have
been sent out enlisting the active
aid of teachers, ; professional men
and public and private officials
As an Illustration of , the facts being
disclosed by the first state-wide refer
endum by the citizens of the state In the
field of mental hygiene, it has, been dis
closed, according to Dr. . Carlisle, : that
among, the various reasons for pupils In
the publlo schools failing in classes, and
becoming overawed, not less than one out
of four do so as a result of develop
mental lack of mental capacity In vary
ing degrees. This indicates, according
to Dr. Carlisle, that all such children
should receive special attention not only
to . give them onoortunities to devinn
latent powers, but, further, to give them
opportunities to develop any special abil
ity and to receive special attention in
particular points where they show great
est weakness. .-, - -r-.. -
Twatt which are being disclosed bv the
survey should not b interureted aa
something, unusual, said Dr. Carlisle, but
rather as indicating ordinary problems of
everyday life concerning: which everyone
who is interested In the betterment of
the state and nation should know, and
then see to It that impediments thus
known be removed.
- The headquarters of the surveyIn Ore
gon, located in offices of the extension
division of the University of Oregon, is
receiving cards daily from all portions of
the state. "If any citizen is In a posi
tion to help in this survey,' said Dr.
Carlisle, "he should consider It a great
great movement."
iii Oyster Lore .
All Bunk' as Far as
Oregon Is Concerned
That 'the "r" fn oyster business is all
"bunk" is the latest discovery. In fact,
the champion of the oyster as an all
year and all-weather fish, asserts there
never was any reason for making an
exile of the succulent bivalve in those
months ' that unfortunately have no "r"
in them, as far as the Pacific Northwest
oyster is concerned.
The authority for "r-less" theory is
Captain P. W. Reed of the famous
WiUapa Harbor family of navigators
and present master of the slow-but?
steady ship Reliable, which dally churns
Its creamy wake along the landings of
the .Northwest oyster bay.
As he explains it, it's like this :
Only the spawning oysters are not fit
to eat and those are the largest that find
their way to the market. - The "mediums"
and "sr-r.lls" do not undergo any change
add if oysters are marketed by reliable
fishers the quality is assured.
In the Kast hygienic qualities must
be considered for the reason - that the
oyster beds are affected by changes in
the water along the shore. Disease at
tacks the oysters and they become unfit
in alt sizes.'
- In the Northwest the water Is the same
year in and yetr out
So, Captain Reed says, if the oysters
came from a fisherman ; who knew his
business, . the summer oyster is the
healthiest kind Of a dish, and most en
joyable these ' warm days when every
thing else seems too heavy.

AER0C0W1Y IS
LAGMNDE'S LATEST
Easiness Men Organize With Cap
ital of $30,000; i Jeffery Will
Distribute for New Concern.
Encouraging aeronautics in East
ern Oregon, business ' men of La
Grande, through the Union County
Ad club, have formed a new aero
company with a capitalization of
$30,000 and a contract ' has been
formed with the O. K. Jeffrey com
pany of Portland, to act aa distribu
tors for the Lincoln Standard and
Avro planes and operate commercial
lines over the eastern part of the
state.' ii .'.
This movement was . organized
through the capital offered by David
L Stoddard, Bruce Dennis, C E. ghort,
Al Daniels. U. O. Christy, F. H Mey
ers and William Miller of U Grande.
O. K. Jeffery, head of the Portland
organisation, . has announced that the
Xjo. 'Grande organisation baa pur
cnased five Lincoln Standard - planes
from him and that they will be de
livered immediately for operation out
of La Grande. It is anticipated that
the planes will ' be ready ror service
within the next 10 days.
Through the efforts of the Aero Club
of Oregon, a large landing field has
already been dedicated at La Grande,
which is said to be one of the finest
In this section of the country. The
site of the new field is on the "Speed
'Em Up" racetrack, where motorcycle
records were shattered several times in
past years. The field is 2000 feet square
and Is surrounded by level country
which Involves no hazards.
The new company - is planning to
offer a course of instruction In fly
ing to students. Owing to the excel
lence of the field, students probably
will be taught for I less and Quicker
than at moat other cities. The enroll
ment of students from all . Northwest
ern points also will be started imme
diately. ' :
