The New OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Sunday Morning, Blay 12, 1929 PAGETHREJ? m c e set ey UW HELD ILLEGPL Tennessee Tries to Place Limit on Dealers But Court Objects ! Old Reliable Prune Fills New Role The recent gas war has drawn attention of the motorists to a variety of prices existing for the same grade of gasoline. This va riety of prices, coupled with var- Jous statements that hare been made relative to the high margin of profit made by various persons handling gasoline, has caused much comment among motorists. Numerous efforts have been made in the past to regulate the price of gasoline but it remained for the legislature of Tennessee to pass a law during the 1927 ses- jjiOn which established a bureau empowered with the authority to regulate the price and distribu tion of gasoline. This bureau was to function in much the same manner as a public service com mission does with respect to the regulation of public utilities. The Standard Oil company, and other companies, obtained an in junction from the district court of the United States, middle dis trict of Tennessee, the court hold ing that the sale of gasoline was not so affected with a public in terest as to oe subject to price regulation. In so holding the court said: "This act does not purpose and indeed could not be said to be such a measure; It is nothing but an attempt to fix the price at which one may sell or buy gaso line, a commodity, to be sure, in general use, and fconcededly neces sary to the convenience, comfort and well being of the citizens of the state, but not more necessary than many other commodities which are bought and sold within the state."

(AP) The public's advice in mapping out an up-to-date course of study for schools is being asked by the state another if courses are similar, supeirntendent of publlo Instruc tion in letters sent over the state. Nomadic workers, drifting; with their families from place to place, from farm to city and back, create a need for uniformity in schools, according to Virgil Stinebangh, di rector of high school inspection. Children taken out of one school easily can make adjustments in "It Is not intended, however, te restrict initiative of local school" officials or make all schools con form to a set standard," Stine baugh said. A second dividend of 21 per cent was paid last week to tfc. depositors of the failed Farmers and StocJcgiower?' bank of Vale, bringing the dividends so far paid to 40 per cent. Prospects of a good prune crop this Tear, together with a concerted drive by hospitals and medical authorities aimed tc) promote prune consumption as a health aid, brings high optimism to orchardists this spring. Surveying the crop situation in Calif oral In 1029, experts took a Buick sport-roadster to do the job. ban Jose hospital has recently adopted prunes as major part of the diet for that in stltution. Bits of News BI 19 VI IOC VII TOr OpOrtSmeil State of Oregon Gathered From All Parts of the Great Unfavorable weather conditions have so far cost the state game commission approximately. $25, 000. Many anglers who have formed the habit of fishing imme diately' after the season opens have been held up in the purchase of licenses due to the fact that the streams of the Willamette val ley and other sections have been unfavorable for angling. Un doubtedly when the weather im proves these sportsmen will take advantage of the situation and purchase their licenses. Ont thing that may be said In favor of the bad weather is that the fish will have the advantage of almost two months of growth before they are taken from the streams. GAME FARM EXPERT That the Oregon State Game commission is recognized as ef ficient In its work of game pro pagation is shown in the fact that the commission of Montana has requeste dthe service of 'Gene' Simpson, game farm superinten dent tor a period of two or three weeks to work in an advisory ca pacity. Mr. Simpson will go to Montana and superintend the es tablishment of a modern game farm. Last year the California commission called upon Mr. Simp son to superintend the construc tion of one of the most important game farms of the country. Oth er states hare sent men here to work under the Oregon commis sion and learn the work of game propagation. Mr. Simpson has written the only general recog nized work on the raising of Chi nese pheasants. and Mongolian pheasants 398. The Hungarian partridge has not started laying. This season many more Mongolian pheasants will be raised than heretofore as it has been shown that they thrive in Eastern Oregon where plantings hare been made.

In this way the commission was able to keep the wate rat an even temperature and the growth, of the fish increased almost twice as fast as it did un der conditions where the water was of fluctuating temperatures. ( "BE LAW ABIDING" URGE "Don't make it necessary for the warden to arrest you." This is the advice of Harold Clifford, state game warden to those who do not always regard the game protective laws. "Dont's catch more than the legal limit. Don't angle in closed streams. Read the laws carefully and obey them. Thus help to conserve one of Ore gon's greatest resources.''
