SCRiDULE
Hard Job for Adam It
He Had Lived and Kept
at Work All The Time
. Had Adam lived, and not died
when some 930 years old while
yet in his prime, the reputed
father of the human race might
have put in full time every
working day up to June 30.
917, and yet not quite orfset
the actual, and potential loss in
work days in Oregon due to ac
cidents for the two years prior
to the date mentioned. This is
the calculation of William A.
Marshall of the accident com
mission and Harry F. Caldwell,
'the commission's statistician,
with the assistance of a Salem
minister.
The figures show that due to
accidents the actual and poten
tial loss in work days totalled
up, for the two years, was the
equivalent of 4986 years,
irs, - or
In that t
be mln- I
what one man could do
time. A reference to the
ister's Biblical history showed
that many years back in history
dated 3069, B. C, or one year
after the passing of Adam, who
died in 3070, B. C. ,
To make np the loss of the
two rears Is a little mora than
I
Adam could have done if he had J
lived the additional 4986 years
and kept busy every, working
day without demanding half
1-1
holidays or participating in
strikes.

it Is anticipated by those who are
principally, concerned In the effort
to build gymnasiums for each of th
three Junior high schools. A meet
ing of between 2,0 and 30 men and
Womea, representing- each f the
districts and parent-teacher associa
tions was held last Monday night
in the high school to discuss means
of getting the project on foot at
once. . .
As a result the school board will
probably call a special meeting for
Tuesday night at which time a del
egation will be given a hearing. A
committee of three may be appointed
to work with the board, if It Is de
sirable. . i . -
As the board would prefer that
a petition be formally presented in
order than the true sentiment of
the parents may be ahowj. consider
able speed will be necessary if the
election is to come off in the middle
or June, as planned. H. O. 'White,
a merrfber of the boards special gym
nasium committee, said . last night
that it Is apparent to the members
that the gymnasiums are a good
thing and the only obstacle that lies
in the road of building them Is the
mater of getting the people out to
vote. -
Demonstrations .of- the physicaj

the school, as a sort of silent prop
aganda in. "favor of securing the
buildings. One of these was held
at Lincoln school yesterday.

This means that the three planes,
the NC-1, NC-S and NC-4 will travel
all of one night and will not alight
before S or ( o'clock the morning
after they depart from New Found

with powerful searchlights, will

height of about 1.000 feet.
Estimate available tonight are
that each machine win consume
about 650 pounds og gasoline an
hour at the start, but that by the
time the Azores are reached, fuel
consumption will have dwindled to
something like 3S0 pounds an hour,
the decrease being aiributed to

who are In convention In Salem, into
the ""Loyal Order of the Purp'e

Commercial club last night when the
salesmen were guests of the club
and e Cherrians.
Frederick Schmidt opeaed the
meeting but that was as far as he
got for at that Juncture Lee Can
field assisted by his'' henchmen
sneaked In and kidnapped a. sales
man and from that Utss on there
were quite a few things happening.
The rurrians took whom they desired
and their all highest grand prlnre
stood for It. n fact be seemed to
approve. .
Jtalesmea Take It.
The salesmen also stood for It
except when the CanfWld crew tald
them ' to assume other postures,
walch frequently happened. The ex
ecutioner put on ilia favorite shav
ing act. which has. become well
known to Cherrlaa - recruits and
there followed other things which
attained the hilarious.
After the degree of Phexdom had .
been conferred and the ralenu oaths
had been sworn to. the psrple Phez

heads of the salesmen and they
were thus ushered Into Ihe glories

Valae Is Cited.
Speaking of the convention last
night Mr. Belton said: We have
been entertained royally In Olynrpla

In Salem. These men. maay of whom
were unfamiliar with Oregon and
