(Eugene Register) Dr. Gerald L. Wendt, dean of chemistry and physics at Pennsylvania State college and director-elect of the $5,000, 00 Batelle Memorial Institute of Research at Columbus, Ohio says that chemistry will bring about the Pacific Northwest's greatest development. The time will come, he says, when Oregon's timber, instead of being used for fuel and building material, will be employ cu iuun; vaiuauiy aim iujik uuyvi Ldimy as a. ian maici mi .JuntTy an( jn ji,e -for artificial silk, lacquers, artificial leather, artificial ivory, almost cxelusireiy. and a vast list of other materials. The east coast cellulose in dustry, he adds, must inevitably come to the Pacific North west. Chemistry is today the greatest force in industry. It means something when one of the country's great chemists says that in time Oregon timber will become too valuable to be used for fuel and building material. When that time comes, we shall see an industrial development here that is beyond out present wildest dreams.

"I r o Bits For Breakfast -- f ROSEBURG SET RIGHT AGAIN (The Statesman has received the following copy of a let ter from R. A. Ward to J. A. Denn, secretary of the Rose- burg Rotary club, explaining what he said to the Salem Ro tary club last week when he talked in favor of the Salem air port. This ought set Roseburg right before the air minded . world:) "I have copy of your letter of May 18th to the Oregon Statesman regarding my talk on airports at Salem last Wednesday. . I am quite sure nothing that I mentioned could be con strued as meaning that Roseburg had, an inadequate landing site. What I did say was that the valley cities which were so kind as to let me have information, such as you did, all stat ed they believed that their airports were going to be found too small in the near future, and that plans were now being made to enlarge the present fields. For example, Medford is Toting on a $100,000 bond issue to make its field much larger. "What I tried to point out was that it was inadvisable to . try to get along with a small field in this day of large planed and heavy loads. I did mention that the secretaries of six different commercial clubs wrote me that they had found it would only be a short time before their fields would have to be enlarged for the reason given above. "I am sending a copy of this letter to the Oregon States- man so that no misunderstanding will exist. "My participation in the matter was purely of a helpful na ture as a Rotarian trying to assist the Rota nans of another city in a meritorious civic improvement, and I gave credit to each of the cities who were kind enough to furnish me with the data which I used at the luncheon.

L. S. Barnes and wife are visit ing Salem for a few days. Mr. Barnes was an old time resident of Salem. He was a boy here. He is pleased with the way the cap ital city is growing. He likes the looks of the town and the country. "Gene." as Mr. Barnes is known to his friends, is one of the suc cessful business men of southern California. The Barnes home is now at Beverly Hills, near Los Angeles. T. H. Barnes, father of "Gene," -was an old time realtor of Salem, and builder of one of the first street ear lines in this city. He now lives at Alliance, Nebraska. S S Jndge: "Prisoner, the jury finds you guilty." Prisoner: "That's all right, judge; I know you're too intel ligent to be influenced by what they say."

This is one of the series of health talks which are being sponsored for women, all of whom are Invited to attend. Health education is being taught in Marion county schools and through the aid of these weekly lectures, the mothers are being brought in closer contact with this work, that they might apply it to the education of the children in their own home.

Hobart, a Methodist missionary at Taian who while sitting in her home with her husband on April 29 was kill ed by a shot through a window. It as thought the killing probably was done by nationalist soldiers in their northerly advance., but def inite information has not been re ceived. The dispatches of yesterday told of the great city of Ham bnrg, Germany, being thrown into a panic by the escaping of phosgene gas from a leaky tank. This deadly poison gas killed 11 persons in that city and caused more than 200 per sons to be sent to hospitals Human, animal and plant life"m u BmnVJlerf cxrne a timely rain that prevented greater destruction of life This news from the German shipping center gave the whole world a foretaste of what might happen in case of war; an idea of the wholesale destruction of all life in populous cen ters that might come upon the heels of an armed conflict like the World war. It is an object lesson that ought to speed up aS the agencies around the whole wide earth for world peace. Another world war is unthinkable. The agencies pointing, to rorh a conflict must be curtailed. They must be controlled by ixternationaI agreements to settle disputes by mutual agree ment.'

(AP) A long stretch of territory still sep arates the nationalist forces under Chiang Kai-shek, from their ulti mate goal which is Peking. Late dispatches from the nor thern capital indicate that Marshal Chang Tso-lin is prepared to carry out (his announced determination of defending Peking and frustrat ing the advance of the national ists. In confirmation of this comes the report that Marshal Chang's chief of staff. Tang Yu-ting has concentrated his troops along the railway below Paotingfu to give battle to the approaching enemy. 1he northerners are said to be in the neighborhood of Wangtu, 30 miles below Paotingfu and about 110 miles from Peking. Previous reports last week'indi cated that the nationalists had reached Paotingfu, and the north ern commanders later declared that their foe had been driven back after an engagement. The situation in that particular sec tion of Chthll province has not been made dear In any of the brief messages reaching London today. a Tientsin dispatch says that b. a k an . a -uui auug-caang. wno conv manaed the northern armies-in Shantung when they were defeat cd by the southerners, has been restored to favor and wiU make a stand against the southerners on tne Tlentstn-Pukow front. metal roofing ans shingles, and these figures and plans be sub mitted to tne board at their next board meeting. The board also voted that the superintendent draw up tentative plans of the procedure of the course. So far known it will be an elective course, of one full credit and sat isfy college requirements. The superintendent declared that the work would fully justify the ex penditure for construction of the new addition. Miss tLouise Garrison, teacher in general science, who will grad uate from Willamette university in June, and Miss Catherine Bar- byte, teacher of physical educa tion and a graduate of Oregon State college, were added to the teaching staff of the junior high schools, by a vote of the mem bers of the board last night. Both girls are from Salem and were highly recommended to the super intendent. Miss Barhyte taught in Ontario a year ago. The list of seniors entitled to graduation this year was slso submitted to the board by the su perintendent. In connection with this the board authorised the su perintendent to secure a speaker for commencement, which will be held Friday, June 1. Recommendations from Princi pal Nelson for next year were read to the board by the superintend ent, which called for elimination of night play practice, except the final dress rehearsal: hour of opening school in the morning to be 20 minutes earlier and noon hour be shortened 20 minutes. consequently students will finish their Work earlier in the afternoon which wiU give them ample time to attend athletic contests with out having to miss class work as has been the case in the' past. It was also suggested that the dean of women give consent to all picnics held by the various organ isations of the school, and that the list of chaperons be submitted to her for approval. No action was taken as to this. Superintendent Hug was also authorized to stop any campaigning by organizations outside of the school. i A sketch of the proposed ath-j letic field as it will be in the fu- ture, was presented by the chair man of the board. Dr. II. H. Olin ger. When completed it will be the finest and best equipped high school athletic field in Oregon. The dimensions of the field are 800 by 562 feet, running longest on a line north between A and C streets. When compietea it, win have a regulation football field, and baseball diamond directly in front of a large grandstand which will hold some 2500 people. Be tween the football field and tb grandstand, which is" on the south side of the field, will be built a atrairhtawav 220 yard track Around the field will be a quar ter mile track. In the northwest corner of the field where the mill race comes through can be built good swimming pool. Basket ball, handball, volleyball and ten nis courts will also be built on tha same grounds. Amyie park 500 cars will also be provid ed for. The entire neia is now being fenced In with a high fence. aunng his more than a score of years of service the like had never nappened.
