Livesley. a practical-and successful farmer, the First National Bank building is a standing monument to the fer tility of Willamette valley lands. For Tern Livesley, as he is best known, has laid the foundation for such a structure through the pursuit of progressive and busi nesslike methods of agriculture. , In ' his hop yards, always mod els for the industry, he has. been constantly experimenting with new methods. He pioneered among . the hop growers in the installation of electric pumps for the irrigation necessary to pre serve the crops in dry seasons. To tit- marketing of his crops he ap plied the same systematic efficien cy.' By sncli enterprising methods r.nd foresight he has pointed the way to full realization of the op portunities offered by the Willam ette valley in crop diversification, fruit growing and other allied in dustries such as canneries, butter and cheese factories, ice cream plants, milk condenseries, etc. Tohis initiative .and organizing ability has largely been responsi ble the progress made -in develop ment of the flax industry. - He contributed heavily in time and ntoney to further foster that in dustry through establishing the linen mill which, it is hoped, will be the forerunner of a series that will make the Willamette valley one of tho greatest flax and linen producing sections in the world.

England (AP) America was pictured as a paradise for women by Miss Be atrice Forbes-Robertson, the ac tress, who told members of the Richmond Hill Literary and De bating society, her experiences In the United States where she had been born and lived for several years. Life for women was most com fortable and luxurious and they had more opportunity there than In any country since history began Miss Robertson said, but explained that she did not mean that she wanted to go to the United States to live. She had come back to England because she felt that in America the people were so over whelmed with material good that it was difficult to remember the spiritual and aesthetic side of life, such as peace, beauty and love. The problem there was how to bring up young people without their becoming materialistic. Mrs. J. H.

Ji.- m a-- SALEM HOSPITAL BEING ENLARGED NEW EAST WIXO TO BE COM PLETED EARLY IX YEAR Will Make Available 34 Additional Reds Institution of High firade The Salem General Hospital, lo cated on East Center street, is a high grade standardized institu tion established and operated to serve in the most approved man ner all those who may need the best medical and surgical treat ment. The Salem General Hospital through efficient management di rected by a board of 15 citizens has been gradually builded, from nothing to a standardized hospital owning a fine modern plant with room for expansion to meet the growth of the community. The hospital is modern and up-to-date. Its facilities for the rare of both surgical and medical cases can hardly be surpassed, while its staff of 3 2 physicians and surgeons will compare favor ably with cities many times the size of Salem. Its corps of execu tives, registered nurses, and nurs es in training are also as efficient as may be found in any hospital, of this size. The buildings designed by skill ed architects are so constructed as to be entirely proof against fire menace, either from within or without (a factor which affords comfort to all who have friends in a helpless condition under treat ment at any hospital.) ' - - " Early in February the new East wing will be complete and as soon as furnishings and equipment can be supplied there will be 34 addi tional beds available together with greatly improved facilities mak ing still better work possible on the part of physicians and nurses. One can now visualize what the completed hospital plant will look like by placing on the west side of the central unit a duplicate of the east wing now almost com plete. Ground 'enough is also owned for still further expansion as the community growth may re quire. This hospital has no endowment or other invested funds and there fore depends entirely upon its owi earnings to pay the cost of main tenance, upkeep of property and new equipment. - This condition necessarily limits the amount of free work which may be - done, though a considerable number of CONGRATULATIONS First National Bank Vision Suggests CONCRETE FOR PERMANENCE .

What more worthy Cause could be presented for the attention of persons having money to bestow in the public interest than the endowment of a certain number of free rooms or beds which would be at all times avail able for worthy cases unable to pay full or even part cost of hos pital and' medical services re quired. The Salem General Hospital ad mitted and handled 1028 cases during 1926, and of this number there were given 1414 days of free service. This number of free service days includes service ren dered rn the care of the children born in the hospital, for all of whom under the practice in the hospital no charge whatever is made. The hospital maintains a school for the training of nurses which in itself Is a very large public benefaction. The course offered is pronounced by those tn position to know to be as good as any hos pital on the Pacific Coast. Six young ladies have- entered this school of training during the year 1926. There have been 767 class lec tures given during the year, of which 203 were given by mem bers of the medical' staff, 564 by the hospital teaching faculty which includes the superintend ent and assistant superintendent. The hospital employs eight reg istered nurses graduated from various training schools through out the. United States and Canada. Other special nurses are called as tbeir services may be required. This hospital should have the friendly cooperation of every citi zen in this community. A recent definition of the word "Hospital" by a noted hospital administrator is as follows: "A hospital is. an institution which provides facilities, includ ing personnel for the extension of medical and surgical assistance to the sick, for aiding and educating physicians, nurses, county organi zations, and the public, and for investigating the cause and cure of disease and methods for its prevention." Criticism of hospital treatment from patients or friends of pa tients if this definition were gen erally understood would be en tirely eliminated so far 'as applied to any well managed, standardized hospital," because patients and friends would then understand that hospital rules are made .en tirely In the interest of the pa tient and never because of any ar bitrary theory on the part of the 1405 N.

AIRWAY RULES TAKING EFFECT SAFKGUARDIXG OF LIFE AXD TRAFFIC IS AIM Pianos Must Carry License Xuni bcVs Restrict Flying Personnel WASHING TOX, Dec. 31 (AP) Rules of the airways, designed to safeguard life and traffic in the clouds as do the older codes which guide vessels on the sea and ve hicles on the highways, will take effeet over the United States with the New Year. They were promulgated today by the commerce department, af ter Secretary .Hoover's .assistants in the task pf drafting thej called ii.to Conference representatives of all groups interested in the field of air navigation. After New Year's day, every craft that flies the air must bear i'c. license number, and if it is used for public conveyance of people or goods, its airworthiness end safety must 1e certified to by tie commerce department on the application of detailed tests that touch its power plant, fuselage and winjrs. Pilots and mechanics alike, ac cording to tfre grade of their serv ice, must be picked men of proven competence, who have survived that ordeal of both physical and mental examinations. Once anight, the ships must conduct themselves by set rules tor meetings, and passing in the air, by lighting at night, and by carrying instruments which will demonstrate the functioning of ell portions of their contrivances. As to airplanes, the new regu lations recognize five classes of machines,' ranging from the 2500 pound plane to the big machine that lifts 13,000 pounds and more. Tests were laid out which each machine must meet before its air worthiness can be certified, with the exception that when a manu facturer turns out an approved type of vehicle, the following identical machines may be given a certificate based on the demon strated safety of- the model. In spectors of the commerce, depart ment will Bee t-It that machines' in service are kept up to standard; prcl not put in shape for use after accidents without . renewed test ing. Operators of commercial ve Lales, likewise, must make regu lar daily and. detailed inspections, and keep a log of their findings, from which they shall iqake. reg ular reports to the government Machines In the air sost re frain from appio:cTiing within 300 feet of, pther craft. ' ,They must give way to balloons and airships. By night, a plane must c?iry red light on ita light and a rreen light on Its left, eae vis ible for two miles, and must 'show a white light to the rear: visible for three miles. - Massing over landing fields, pilots must take no tice if a red fusee is burning, for Q&t will signal the Imminent on set . of bad weather, and . if "the fusee is doubled, so that twv red lights are blazing, he . must come instantly to ground. '. y The numbers that denote the licensed craft must be painted in large letters under the left wingA visible from - the ground,' and on top of the right-wing, visible from the air, as well as along rudders to be seen from' the sides. , , , j The new code prescribes 'quail ficatlons for drivers of passenger carrying machines - which are more severe than,tnose for pilots I f I u u im . 4- i year. ! " of goods-carrying planes. A thijd class of, pilots, for private ina- cl ines. Is also designated. One feature of the airman's license is rthat which makes it invalid under certain conditions unless the pilot- has kept in practice at his diffi cult art. It takes at. least six months, with at least five hours solo flying per month, before the passenger carrying airman, or l "transport pilot," can qualify; for his license.' , - All of the licenses granted un der the new regulations run for limited periods, a year being the longest as to both craft and pilots. violations of regulations can bring about suspensions or revo cations of licenses for both craft and men. Among the safety regulations is one forbidding' any objects orma terials to be dropped from rr4ft !n flight, except as a safeguard in times of stress. Another requires all planes for passenger, carriage t-v be so constructed that at least two exits from the passenger com partment are available. With certain .exceptions, flying in airplanes Is prohibited over the congested parts of cities "except at a height sufficient to permit of a reasonably safe emergency land ing, which in no ease shall be less than 1000 feet." and elsewhere at heightn o less than. 500 feet. , No flight under .1 0.0 0a feet In height can be made over an open air as sembly except with the consent of the "secretary of commerce, and acrobatic flying is prohibited over cities.; Where serious injury results from an accident the owner of the aircraft must Immediately report, by telegraph or -telephone to the secretary of commerce. The own-. er or operator, of every license aircraft must keep a navigation una engine leg book, and quarter ly transmit to the commerce de partment a navigation summary report, showing the number ; of hours and the approximate num-be- of miles the aircraft has. been flying during the quarter. vUntil otherwise provided," say the regulations, " the laws of the United States and regulations' made thereunder with respect to ue entry and clearance of vessels engaged in foreign commerceare 1 ereby made' applicable to air craft engaged in foreign air com merce." - -..!'-.
