THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM; OREGON SUNDA Y; MORNING; MARCH 6 m?; V 1 J r 1 H J niTiora Wireless Equipment Increas ed Efficient Hunting of Many Whaiers STANLEY Falkland Islands--P) wireless telephony is revo lutionizing the -whaling industry, jn addition to the radio, the Ant arctic whalers- are being ; fitted with direction, finders because in regions close to the magnetic pole, where much whaling is done, the magnetic compass is of little use. Wireless equipment has not only - increased the hunting. efficiency of the whaler fleets, but has also simplified some of the most diffi cult problems and greatly reduced the possibility of such dangers as isolation and loss of bearings. s . In the great change brought about by the tireless methods of whaling, when one of the Teasels so equipped sights a school of whales,, perhaps after several weeks search, it may immediately inform the other ships in the same fleet by telephone, and all' can make for the best spot for hunt ing. The "factory ship," which accompanies the whalers, can also be directed to the most suitable position for taking charge of the catches. By a s simple system of code words the Tital information in any message is kept secret from any other ships of a differ ent company that might be within range. In one instance by, means of a half kilowatt telephone fitted on the floating whaling factory "C. A. Larsen" a conversation has been heard more Jthan 2000 miles by the whaler "Sir James Clark Ross." Normally, however, communica tion is maintained between whal ers and with the whaling station up to a thousand miles. The actual methods of hunting whales have also undergone al most as great a change as nave the methods of communication among the whaling fleets. Until a few years ago the quarry was caught by harpoons cast by men in rowing boats, but today fast steam launches of 150 to 180 tons, specially constructed and equipped with 1000 horse .pbver engines, are used for the pursuit, while harpoons are projected from guns instead of being thrown by hand. Uses to which the whale is put have also; been extended. v' The whole of the carcass is utilized in the production of oil, bone, cattle, cake, leather, fertilizer and other marketable commodities, the only thing that escapes, like the squeal of the pig in the!hragtf feaclcing ses, being the "spout." SKULL AND BOXES FOUND ILWAcu, wasn., March 5. (AP) A skull and other human bones, believed to have been buried nearly 35 years ago, were incovered today by men working on the new road from Megler to Ilwaco, which will connect with j the new O.

SENIOR CLASS (Continued from page 1-) and gowns had filed in, the pro gram opened -j with an .address of welcome by Eldred Cobb of the freshman class, followed by a harp solo of exceptional merit" played by Miss Esther Maimer. The seniors presented their song in impressive! fashion, the effect being aided by) the first appearance of the caps and gowns. Their marching to and from the stage was the most perfect of any of the classes. ; Harmony Outstanding Harmony was the outstanding feature of the Juniors offering, "Serenade Song." with words by Prank Alfred knd music by Louise Flndley and Margaret Lewis. Its adaptability , to part singing was clearly brought out, and the inter pretation was! also exceptional. The sophomores had the most pleasing formation on the stage of any of the groups, and the impres sion made by their song was heightened by the excellent work of the class orchestra. The song, "Willamette Reveries," wac writ ten by Mary Louise Aiken, and the music composed by June Gaines. Freshtaaa Song Spirited The freshman song, "The Spell of the Night," was the most spir ited of any, and the class gained approval by the perfect manner in which the large group made its entrance and exit, as well as by its interpretation of the spirit of the song and the artistry of its hummed accompaniment to an in terpolated harp solo by Miss Palm er. The words were written by Virginia Edwards, the music by Marjorie Miller, Helene Price and Betty Corskie. Professor James T. Matthews announced the results, mercifully shortening the moments of sus pense with which he has at times in the past good naturedly tan talized the anxious students as they waited for the verdict. A number which almost eclipsed in interest the song contest itself, was the dramatic reading given by Miss Mary McKee, midway of the program. A pleasing, violin solo was played by Miss Fay Irvine. VOIJNG GIRL BEGITiS STUDYING WITH DIVA Fifteen Year Old Florida Miss Starts Work Leading to Stardom ST PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) Emilie Mackenfuss, a fifteen year old Tlorida girl who dreams of being a great opera singer,, will not have to wait long now before she begins the serious training which may carry her to the heights of stardom. - For as soon as Madame Schtt- man Heink finishes her present concert tour, she plans to sum mon the girl to her for instruc tion. Emilie's soprana voice pri marily caused the famous contral to to take her into her arms and promise to help make her an artist, But there also was an other reason. Emilie's life is strikingly simi lar to the early years of Madame Schuman-Heink. She is of Ger man parentage, although born in Charleston, S. C, and her age is the same at which the contralto was "discovered.' Then, too, Emilie roams the fields near her home in a St. Pet ersburg suburb, singing and pick ing flowers much; in the same manner as : Madame Schuman Heink used to do'.. She also is a soloist in the church choir. Emilie is only a sophomore in high school and has never studied music, but Madame Schuman- Heink believes she will develop into a "splendid artist" with the proper training.

The stars in splendor gleaming, Reveal their beauty rare. The mists are slyly stealing Along Willamette stream, Come drift with me, my loved one, While night reigns here supreme. Chorus Down on the still Willamette, Into the starry light That beams through the shadowy treetops Into the quiet night ; Borne on the dancing ripples, Lulled in our frail canoe, Losing my life in happiness I love to drift with you ! Our bark is smoothly swaying On soft waves tipped with blue. Sweet echoes round us are playing, "May your fairest dreams come true." We drift along the stream, love, Amid the soft moonbeams That fill the night with radiance, And blend our lives in dreams. Words and music by Malcolm Medter CAP LIVING DOWN J Some Dance Hails in Paris Show Signs Excluding Cap Wearers PARIS. (AP) The cap, in signia of the "tough" and the Apache in France for many years, is living down its bad reputation. The cap, in Paris, is becoming; the universal head covering for those interested in sports. People in automobiles more often than not wear caps, but usually they carry hats for use when they get out of their cars. In the provinces the cap is still looked at askance by the conserv ative generations. The opprobrium of the cap dates back many years. There still are dance halls in Paris where there are signs: "Persons wearing caps not admitted." The cap, it might be said, is proper when the person wearing it is proper. Young men of doubt ful pedigrees, picked up by the police still are described in news papers as "wearing caps." which is an indication of how the French in generalstliri,egardwhat they consider an altogether too negli ge top-piece. " Cap-makers, nevertheless, insist ther are eight million caps in France, which is one for every fifth person.
