" Steam is used' only for the i heating of the ir oners, and that because a steam heated Iron trill not burn a piece ot cloth, hile an electric iron- will burn a piece of cloth- very quickly. Three trucks are kept busy collec ting and delivering bundles about the eity. One of these trucks Is a recent purchase from the Valley Motor company, y The v company claims the distinction of - having the only curtain dryer, or form, in the city. This dryer consists of s rack on which the curtains are fastened, and a steam heated cabinet Into which the rack, with the curtains attached, is slid,? The curtains dry very quickly in this dryer, and they do not shrink in the process.

Talking seems to be the favorite pastime ' ( ot many people,' and their talk.ia not always confined to those subjects with which they are familiar. Feeling that one of the subjects about which there has been much talk, and probably about which many of the talkers do not know a great deal, Is an act passed; by the Oregon legislature of two years ago, the writer of this ar ticle will try to make the' aim the success of the act clear. , To Stop the Breed 1 ' This act Is an act providing for the sterilization of all male or female persons who have -been ex amined by competent -examiners and found to be feeble minded, insane, epileptic, criminally in clined, or degenerate, and who through procreation would ' un doubtedly bring Into 'the " world children with the a bore tenden cies. The board of : examiners must first make sure that there is no likelihood of the said per son improving to such, an extent as to avoid such consequences. , State Board of Eugenics 1 In the same act is a section which provides for the creation of a state board of eugenics, tp be composed of the state board of health, the superintendent of the: Oregon state hospital, the; super-! Intendent ot the Eastern 'Oregon! state hospital, the superintendent of the state institution for the! feeble minded, and the superin-j tendent of the state' penitentiary and In another section of the same act it Is stipulated; ihatKW jshaU be the duty of the "State board eugenics to examine 'into .the; in nate traits, the mental and phyj sical conditions, the' personal rec ords, and family traits and bIsfo ries of all of the persons so re ported, so far as the same can be ascertained.- and if in. the judge ment ' of a - majority of the said board procreation by 'such person would produce a child or children having an inherited tendency to feeble mindedness, Insanity epi lepsy, criminality or degeneracy or who would probably become a social menace or ward of the state, and there Is no probability' that the condition of such person so investigated and examined !' will Improve to such an extent as to avoid such consequences, then it shall be the duty of such board to make an order embodying its conclusions with reference to such person , ia. said respects and speci fying euch a type of sterilization as may be deemed by said board best suited to the condition of said person and most likely to produce the beneficial results in the res pects specified In this section." j. , Slake Quarterly Reports - ! . In the section directly preceding the one just quoted Is the stipula tion that the superintendents 0f the various Institutions ' must re port to the state board of eugenics quarterly all persons, male or fe male, who are feeble minded, ip sane. epileptic, habitual criminals, moral degenerates and sexual per-' verters, who are, or in his opinion are likely to become, a menace to society. ' - j -1 ' ) j f f Give Their Consent CLf i Other Etipulatfons of the actrej that the person to , be operated upon , must first give his or;ler miKtia haJ b;en called cut -ana peace ha, been partially res S red. Ora T? o , ' - e'.cr!, i S. C ' 1 . " . : k r ' " T ' ' - 1 m consent, and that the nearest rela tives must agree to the operation, or. If there be no relative the cus todian or some close friend of the patient, must give sanction to the operation. It this sanction Is not given the state' has recourse to law, but so far it has not 'been found necessary to use this meth od pf securing the sanction of the Interested parties. j . One of the Advantages One of the chief arguments' in favor of this act is that it makes possible the release' from the in stitutions of persons who if prop erly cared for can do no harm to society, and are capable of doing some work In properly man aged. This release frees the state from the burden of supporting such persons, and makes room for persons ' who need the attention more acutely. Of course the big argument in favor of the act Is that it is the only plausible way to protect society from procrea tion, by such persons. A Law of Nature Examinations have proven con clusively that it is Impossible for a normal child to be born of parents either one of which is affected by feeble mindedness. There are families of eight or nine members at; the state institution for the feeble minded in Salem, and in nearly every case one or both of the parents has been found to be mentally feeble. . It is very seldom that a feeble minded child is .born to healthy normal parents. Solely to Protect Society i The-.'-eperation involved in the sterilization of a person found to be mentally weak, is not at all serious,' and results in no perni cious after .effects. None of the normal body activities are in any way affected by the operation. The only effect of such an opera tion" ,is ! to make procreation ! by suchpersona impossible. It should be understood that tbis act was meant only as a means of protect ing society,! and not in any ! sense as a punitive measure. - i . J Since the! adoption of this act, it has been ! possible for the insti tution for i the. feeble , ininded authorities at Salem to release to reliable person between 50 and: 60 patients who otherwise i i Would have to remain forever in : the in stitution. It has been the policy of this institution to insist ion! no persons subjecting! themselves to the operation. I If a person does not care to jundergo the operation, he or she nijay remain! in the1 Insti tution for jthej rest, of his or her span on this earth.! . t,' " i I ,T .t Race Will Rn put The hope pf the 1 people who have been instrumental in promo ting this legislation and in admi nistering : the jiawj Is that it will lead finally to the elimination of the feeble imihded entirely, or al most -entirselyf-rthat it will cause the race vanish, r I o run i out, or " nearly t fit ' i v ':!' l-i i I r .,-'1 I ' 1 ' surely an encouraging That 1 fs outlook; ! especially so as compared with what ! has been the condition heretofore with the number of feeble minded , people constantly on the Increase. - j It, is a, very hopeful thought that can help as to visualize a time when we shall have no feeble piinded people.
