8 TWEHIITS Cyys Care During Warm Heather Should be Paid Particular Attention' "Hot weather being with us it ia worth while to consider some CT the things we can do to keep eesrsfbrtable and happr in Pite of tUsrheat," says the weekly health iM&etia of the Oregon state board 4T health ot which Dr. Frederick SL Strieker ia bead. The advice essntlnues "Some of the things wAteh may help are: -pon't OTer eat. Heavy meala ' tains hot weather are not only in r urn rr bat are actually harm- fnt The diet during hot weather sassy well consist chiefly of fruits, arikds and vegetables. Drink sJssUy of cool water. Cool water J preferable to Ice water. There 1st no satisfactory substitute for water. Wear loose, light clothing, protect the head from the direct nsxe of the sun. Minimise the : anatnber ot heavy curulns. por tleres. pieces of overstuffed furni ture and other eueh things aa will retain heat.

Swimming t fine but care should be taken rot expose the body for short per imta of time only until a protec ttM coat of tan has been develop ed Cool or tepid baths are usual ly more comforting than ice cold nes. "Remember that babies are far nwre apt to become ill as a result est hot weather than are older children or adults. Babies Im properly cared for during not weather suffer greatly and often ds from diarrhoea and enteritis Jgiery mother should remember at tenet these things concerning the nf the babr during hot ither: 1. Nnrsn vour baby. Do not in without consulting your doc tor. It bottle fed keep food cov ered and on ice. Do not give un rip or too ripe fruit to yonng children, and do not allow them to eat between meato. Children require' only three-fourths as much food In hot weather as in eool weather. "2. Water. Give the baby all h will take between feedings. Do not give water for three-quarters ef an hour before feeding time. Use cool boiled water. "3. Clothing. In hot weather a diaper and thin shirt are enough. IT very hot leave off the shirt. Dress baby according to tempera ture. Don't use enough clothes to make the baby perspire,. Use white clothes. "4. Bathing. Bathe the baby once a day. In hot weather give the baby a cool sponge bath two or three times a day. If be has prickly heat include baking soda and corn starch In the bath water (one teaspoon of baking soda and one dessert spoon of corn starch ta one quart of water). Clean hende and face help keep the food clean. i"S. Sleeping. Have the baby sleep out ot doors as much as pos sible, protecting him from the di net sun and extreme heat. Do not use heavy materials as cur tains, etc., to cover or shade the baby they exclude air. ! Protect him from flies by covering the carriage or rrib with mosquito setting. Don't pile on fxtra cov ers unless the weather turns cold the baby's covers should be no warmer than yours." 1 CUch Damage to Farms This Year, But Danger of 1927 Deluge Past WASHINGTON, July 13 (AP) Although floods have been more numerous this year than last in Use network of rivers which make an the Mississippi system, the dan ger of a repetition of the great torrent which brought disaster to the valley In 1927 has passed. Many of this year's floods have caused considerable damage to crops being greater in some local ities than those which culminated i the 1927 deluge. In that year most ot the flood3 came before the principal crops were planted, but this year they have been later, have destroyed the promising pro duct of much labor in the fields and have-left little opportunity s for replanting. Such disasters as the 1927 flood depend on the " synchronisation of at number of weather' factors, be ginning in the fall and continuing through the winter and spring. In that year the "timing of these ments of disaster wan almost perfect,- This year the conditions. Mt observed by Dr. Harry C. Frankenfleld. chief of the river and flood division of the weather bureau, have been quite different. -The rainy season ibis year has been characerfxed ; by more per sistent but not such 'heavy ra In fill tas occurred a year ago, and last fall wag relatively dry com pared with. tb unusually wet con ditions which prevailed in 192C, particularly in eastern Kansas and Ml BY STR1CKFF! UlSSlSSIPPi WON REPEAT OVERFLOW Eastern Oklahoma, where the fist signs of the impending flood ap peared. This unseasonable rainfall, at tended by local floods, continued through September and October, spreading to Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas. As a result alt ot the big tributaries and most ot tbe little ones In that region were kept bank-full when normally they would have been carrying low volumes of water, and the ground was saturated to capacity. By the time tbe water rains began there was no place for their torrents to go except into the already swollen streams. . . Heavy rains In Tennessee late in December flooded the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers, the latter reaching record heights. By Janu ary 1, they bad emptied their bar ren Into the Ohio to be spilled Into the Mississippi at Cairo. That was the real beginning of the Missis sippi flood of 1927 which had eleven distinct crests before it ended. Through January and February, the rains were sufficient to keep the rivers full, with occasional downpours bringing flood stages. In March heavy rains fell over the watersheds of all of the rivers except the Ohio, which neverthe less had to carry great volumes of water into the - Mississippi. Its crest met those coming out of the Missouri, Des Moines and Illinois rivers. They were Joined by those of the White, St. Francis and Ar kansas rivers, and the disaster was In full play. When the winter rains began late last autumn, however, the more normal conditions which had prevailed during the fall and left the ground much more ready to absorb the water and the river beds with more space to carry off the surplus. By the end of Jenu ary it had become reasonably cer tain that the valley as a whole would be spared the experience it had gone through In the preceding spring and summer. This has been borne out by the action of the floods which have developed, their crests entering the Mississippi In such , order that they have not piled up on each other. COLLEGE CLOTB Tradesmen Pleased and Dis pleased at Young Ideas in What to Wear PORTLAND. July 18. (AP) College youths are at once the pleasure and pain of the clothing trade. The pleasure because the boys do wear lots of clothes al most every student has at least one suit and the pain because they insist on being free thinkers In style; they wear what strikes their fancy and sometimes it is very fancy. This was the essence of a talk today by Paul D. Green of Eu gene, before the session ot the Oregon Retail Clothiers' and Fur nishers' association, and the Washington-I d a h o association Joint conference. For Instance, Green said, college boys will not as a rule wear hats or caps. They find them a nuis ance when going from one build ing to another during scnool hours, get Into the habit of going bare headed, like the habit and stay by it. Garters, Green explained, were discarded by college boys some time ago, as it was then consid ered, -a passing fad. Then Bar ters were voted out and stayed out and sox down. Then there Is the matter of ties. The boys of the campus last year found slip-on sweaters to their lik ing, the v-neck kind. They wore their shirts open at the throat with the collars on the outside of the sweaters and a decided falling off in the sale of ties was felt by clothiers'ln college towns.

(AP) Immediate seixure of up-, proximately 1000 freight trucks and passenger buses for failure to pay the atate motor transportation tax was ordered today by Ray L. Riley, atate controller. .' Four groups of workers nave been thrown Into the field to make the- seizure.' In tbe San Francisco territory the Piakerton detective, agency will operate, the Los !An geles seizures will be made by the Nick Harris agency. T. J. Nicely. Fresno detective, will cover ex treme southern California. Claude E. Cooper, deputy controller, will marshal tbe forces in northern counties. The seized equipment will be driven' by state employes, truck drivers to division headquarters of the highway department and there interned, until the tax ia paid or intil sale of the equipment realizes the tax' money for the state. Controller Riley admitted today that the action which will tie up from fl.000,000 to $3,000,000 worth of rolling stock, may put many of the transportation com panies out of business because failure to keep schedules will au- tmatically forfeit franchises. About 150 companies have failed to pay the tax out of 051 companies operating. Against these ompanles has been levied a tax of a million dollars at the rate of 4.5 per cent of gross receipts for passenger lines and 5 per cent for truck lines. Employment Situation on Mend, U. S. Department Figures Indicate WASHINGTON, D. C, July 18. ment report made by the labor de partment upon conditions as they were at the beginning of July, ex pressed the opinion in a broad statement today that industrial conditions in the United States were better than thy usually are at this season. "A striking thing in this re port, the secretary said, "is that employment in manufacturing for the first time in five years is greater in July than In Mayf Gen erally there Is a slight drop, be tween May and June. This year the usual movement Is reversed. "Another significant thing is that this year for tbe first time In six years payroll totals are greater In June than in May. Pay roll totals advanced in the same proportion as in employment. The maintenance of the present pay roll means that the country has become converted to the idea that good wages mean prosperity. "Further, this maintenance and steadiness of employment shows a confidence on the part of em ployers as to business conditions in the summer and fall. The out look for employer and employe is distinctly favorable."

(AP) A plan for handling the 1928 peach crop by receiving all fruit on a No. 1 basis with a price of $25 a ton, was worked out here today by growers and packers, meeting with Governor C. C. Young's peach committee, said an announcement after the meeting. A committee was appointed to work out details of the plan, with instructions to report to the con ference next Friday. Members of the committee named were: F. E. Laney, president of Sutter co operative growers; A. D. Pogget to, president California canning Peach Growers, Inc.; and Preston McKinney, vice president and sec retary of tbe Canners' League of California. The deadlock was broken by a report by state director of agri culture, George H. Hecke, to the effect that unfavorable weather conditions of the past two weeks had reduced the yield of No. 1 peaches between 30 and 40 per cent. Hecke estimated that the yield would consequently be less than $3,000,000 cases of No. 1 fruit. The canners had insisted on keeping tbe pack down to 13,000, 000 cases, and the final etrife started after the' Supper co-operative growers had refused to throw away No. 1 fruit, as proposed in an agreement reached by the can ners and California Canning Peach Growers, Inc.
