THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON
REPORT IDE
Records of Department of
i ! Weights and Measures
for Two Years Given
" ; Shortage of funds in some coun
ties com prising parts of districts
voder the law creating the de
partment of weights and measures
often hampers the district deputy
sealer? In collecting their salaries,
which are pro rated among the
'counties. For this reason, W. A.
Palziel, deputy state sealer. In his
biennial report to State Treasur
er Iloff. recommends that the sal
aries 'of the district deputies be
paid out of the general fund of
" the state. 1
Expense Allowance Small
' .The report further recommends
asubstantial increase in the ex
pense allowances of the district
deputies so that each may pay for
the upkeep of the automobile
which he Is required to furnish.
The present allowance Is said to
be 'Inadequate to meet this ex
pense. Because of many complaints
- that have reached the department
la the last year, relative to sales
of shelled oysters, , Mr. Dalziel
recommends that. the Jaw be am
ended to eliminate the "swelling
process." ' 1 ; ;j
' Another recommendation is the
creation of a standard peach box.
It Is said that sale conditions for
this commodity are now very un
satisfactory: v .?-V.

Serious Charges Made
in Divorce Complaint
The story of a bride who dis
covered too late the standard
of living to which her husband
was accustomed is told in- the
divorce complaint filed in the
circuit court yesterday, by Lulu
Ogrady against William ORradv.
Six days after their marriage
the defendant states she left her
husband In disgust. jfo sooner
had they been married she avtTj
that he took her to Portland,
forced her to live n a cheap
rooming house infested by gam
Mers and moonshiners and, when
she refused to rmk with th?m.
accused her o being " a bum
kport." In addition, she states
personal indignities were heapei
upon her. A divorce is asked
and also whatever other roliel
the court may deem justifiable.
The . Ogrady's were married
October 14, 1922 at Goldendale,
Wash.
: : No Longer a Joke
In these days the old invita
tion, "Nama your poison," isn't
so jocular as it was, because it
is so joke nowadays. Arkansas

YESTERDAY IN WASHINGTON
?'- " ' . ' V .....
ii Neither the senate' nor. the
! bouse was in sessiin. '
, : The" semlweekly meeting
of the cabinet ; was' ' devoted
sv mainly Co discussion of the
V effects of the new tariff law.
Advisability of' supporting
In modified form the, Borah
f, proposal" for ? , an f economic
V conference of world powers
.w was' considered ' by .senate
:.: Republican' leaders.
f-'i Chief ..Justice ...iTaftr.- an
nounced that senior circuit
judges would meet here
Thursday to discuss means of
relieving docket congestion
In the federal courts.
Administration' leaders in
senate were reported opposed
to the McKellar shipping bill
amendments, which call ' for
the abrogation of commercial
treaties discriminating
against the United States.
..Sam A. Kozer, secretary of
state, believes that money could '
be saved to the state if the state ,
i
board of control were made the
purchasing agent for office sup
plies for all state activities, and
not only for those state institu
tions that now come under the
jurisdiclon of the board. In a
statement maae yesterday Secre
tary Kozer recommends that the
law be so changed that this func
tion will be given the board of
control, including purchases for
the legislative assembly.
"A casual examination of the
prices paid for a number of stand
ard articles reveals a wide dis
crepancy in many instances," says
Mr. Kozer, "and it is the results
of such examination that suggest
to me the wisdom of enlarging
the scope of the present law so
as to include the purchase of the
supplies for the many state offices
departments and institutions that
fire not now included under it.
"Believing that the centraliza
tion of the purchasing of all sup
plies, Iurniture, equipment, etc.,
for Vsvery state activity, whether
ii te a state offic, board or com
mission, state Institute for the
cafe of defectives or Incorrigible,
or for higher education or of any
other character, will result in a
material benefit to the state, I
strongly recommend that the law
authorising the board of control
to purchase all supplies, etc., for
the institutions be so amended
and broadened as to include tbe
other institutions, offices, etc.,
not now included."
ARMENIA INVOLVED
IN EAST TURMOIL
(Continued from page 1)
for a general collective guarantee
that Turkey will not be subjected
to foreign aggression. The Turks
decline to grant Jurisdiction to
the straits control commission
over the zones of demilitarization,
as requested by tbe allies. There
is a general expectation, however,
that the straits question will be
solved, although Russia's ultimate
attitude remain a mystery.
A Common Conclusion
There is a disposition among
many persons to conclude that
a man does not work unless he
wears a long, tired, stingy look
and a pair of green overalls.
