BEST AIRPORT IN STATE
J Lee U. Eyerly, head of the air school in Salem and a pio
neer in the operation of air craft here, says the proposed
Salem airport will be the roomiest in the state
fWill have better accommodations for landing and taking
off than the Portland airport.
There is another advantage that Salem wilt have. There is
less likelihood of delays from heavy fogs in Salem than in
Portland. Fog is one of the things that the air men cannot
dercome. Not yet, any way.
It will be a fine advertisement for Salem, to be able to say
alter the announcement of the voting of today, that this city
is to have the best airport in Oregon,
f This lucky situation, brought about by the cooperation o
the state of Oregon having the land for the field, ought to
niake the vote unanimous
t Especially with the prospect that the income of the air
port from various sources would pay the interest on the
bonds, and finally retire the bonds.
iLet's make it overwhelming
For the good name of Salem.

GREAT AND PERMANENT RESOURCE
Dr. Gerald L. Wendt, dean of chemistry and physics at the
Pennsylvania State College and director-elect of the $5,000,-
000 Batelle Memorial Institute of Research at Columbus,
Ohio, a recent visitor to Oregon, is quoted in the May num
ber of "Oregon Business," the magazine of the Oregon State
Cfiamber of Commerce, as saying that "today wood is pre
cious beyond its price"
t;That "our disappearing forests are needed for a host of
chemical products ; for pape for cellulose products, such as
colodion, celluloid, artificial leather, photographic films, oil
c&th, linoleums, artificial silk and lacquers, and for chemicals
and solvents such as alcohols, acetone, acetic acid, and var
ious oils and tars" .
kWith many more to come.
V'Behold woman in all her splendor clothed in wood, dyed
with coal." The daintiest garments of women are made from
cellulose (artificial silk), which comes from wood; which, in
deed, is the main constituent of wood. And the finest dyes
come from coal tar.
Dr. Wendt forecasts a future (a near future) when the for
ests of Oregon will be too valuable to turn into fuel and con
struction material.
Already, a mill making rayon (artificial silk) from cellu
lose is projected for Oregon; not so very far from Salem.
lere will be others
'Before very long, the cellulose that will come from the
fdxests in the reserves east of Salem that will come to this
city with a downhill haul; that win come from harvested
tfinber that will be so taken away that the timber resources
will last forever, will be maintaining industries in this city
, that will of themselves justify a much larger city than Salem
is 'now.
lt is surely coming. It is inevitable. It is not in the far dis
tant future.
I Salem will have an added name
f it will be the cellulose city.
jThe manufactures that will eventually be based on cellulose
as their raw material will run into the hundreds.
lThe Eyerly air school in Salem now has 27 students, and
preparations are going forward rapidly for new branches in
tfie instruction of flyers and mechanics competent to take
cire of-flying machines. The number will grow fast, if the
ajrport measure carries at the election today. There will ere
kmg be sevral hundred students, and the payrolls will grow
rtpidly, in .all the lines connected with the building, condi
tioning and operation of air craft. The success of the measure
s&ll make Salem an air traffic center.

FARMERS' VOTES

ir the party is unwilling to

aielect audience of four reporters.
Tiie former Illinois governor, em-
platlc in his declaration punctua

c"I do not want the kind of fame

"CLowden. on his way from Wash

"Everywhere I went I told the

"There is no point to criticis

In the absence of anything better
I'll stick to It."
Mr. Lowden didn't know bow

MARINE KILLED
MANAGUA,- NIC. May : 17.
(AP) One marine was killed aad
Captain Robert 8. Hunter of Kan
sas and another unidentified mar
ine were -wounded near Paso Real,
northeast or Jfhotega, according
to a report received here today.
Exactly 259 children at Engle
wood school were recently tested
to ascertain that school's status
in comprehension and rate of si
lent reading. Comprehension for
the first grade was based on oral
reproduction; for the other fivt
grades the tests were written. A
standard reading scale was the
basis of rate: 80 to 100 word
first grade; 130 to ISO. second:
ISO. third; 1C0, fourth; 184. fifth
and 220. sixth.
Of the 2S9 children tested, fig
ores compiled by Principal Lyle
Murray show 40.9 per cent were
shore the standard in both rate
and comprehension; 14.6 per cent
above in rate and below In com
prehension; 21 per cent belew In
both; and 21.5 per cent were
above in comprehension and below
in rate.
Segregated by classes the sur
ey showed the following results
Forty-three first graders: 15
were above standard In both and
eady to enter the second grade
14 were below in both, but these
children all started In February
and have still a half year to reach
.he standard; 14 were above in
comprehension but below in speed
Second grade. 62 children; 1
excelled in both; 9 could read
above the standard rate but could
aoi understand wnat they were
reading; eight were above in com
prehension and below In rate; 10
fell below in both.
Third grade, 50 pupils tested:
23 above both standards; nine
were slow to comprehend but read
more than fast enough ; eight were
ibove in comprehension but read
too slowly; 10 were under in
both divisions.
Fourth grade, 32 pupils: 19
ready for fifth grade; eight read
aster than average but were un
mindful of what they read; one
lbore in comprehension and below
rate; four eub-normal in both.
nrth grade: 44 children: 18
ibove in both groups; six below
in comprehension; 12 below in
rate; eight under In both.
Sixth grade, 46 tested: 16 above
both; three above rate; 20
above comprehension; seven fell
below in both rate and understanding.
Altogether. 94 are below the
medium 'in both understanding and
-ate but since the 34 first and sec
ond graders will overcome- their
difficulty without additional ef
fort, there are but 65 who need
special help. Miss Murray's report
points out.
Among the remedial method;
which are being carried on tc
"n-ing these to standard are: ques
tions that stimulate and require
hought; increase self confidence
through easy material; train tr.
.'ollow directions carefully; specif
ic questions on content; matching
words and pictures; illustrate
hat read; extensive word study:
tuestions on particular paragraphs
"tirlety of interesting material;
ead by thought unit, not lines,
paragraphs or pages; relation of
child's experiences to material
ead; children question each oth
?r. For improving rate these reme
Jial measures are applied: eye
pan increased by using easy ma
terial, making possible longei
weeps; phrase drills; phonics and
ord drills; interesting material
using key words and key sentences
nd questions to be answered b
completed sentences and questions
to be answered by completed sen
tences; oral reproduction and word
Jrill; connect new material with
past experience of child.
