Secretary of State, to
Oregon Motorists
Purchaem of 1930 automobile
licenses, which roust be in the
hand! ot car owneri by January

plates, according to announce
ment made by Hal E. Hoss. se
cretary of Btate. New plates

sued by the secretary of state pri
or to July 1. 1930.
This procedure was necessary
the secretary of state explained
hneaime of a law enacted at the
1929 legislature providing that
the annual automobile -license
ff nhair be said on July 1 In
stead of on January 1. an has been
the Dractlce In the past.
"New Drotlsions In the automo
bile laws." reads a statement ti
med br the secretary of state
"Inrliwln the Issuance of a half-
voir license, expiring June 30
1930. the use of a windshield
sticker for the first six months
of 1930, and a reduction of li
cense fees approximately 25 per
cent. Truck owners will note a
" decided change In procedure,
with all trucks Vlcenslng on a
weight basis. Trucks operating
with solid tires will pay addition
al fees of 60 per cent."
"Motorists should remember."
suggests Mr. Hoss. "that it Is ab
solutely essential to keep 1929
metal license plates on their cars
after the first of the year, as
the plates will constitute an Im
portant part of the means of iden
tifying each vehicle. Other Iden
tification will be furnished by the
temporary windshield sticker and
the 1930 receipt of registration
both of which will be Usued fol
lowing the receipt of application
blanks for the half-year period.
The receipt of regis! ration will
show both the 1929 license num
ber and the 1930 sticker num
ber and It will be Intended to be
carried as usual in the contain
er In the driver's compartment of
the car.
"The new schedule of rates is
thown on tho application blanks
and remittances for temporary
permits will be on the basis of
one-half of the annual license fee.
The secretary of state's office is
seeking the cooperation of the
public In a careful study of the
new regulations In order that the
process of re-licensing may be
handled as quickly and efficiently
r.s possible. Failure of the appli
cant to follow instructions contri
butes largely to the excessive
amount of detail work necessary
in the automobile department and
and entails a delay to the licen
see. "To get a picture of the im
mense amount of work involved lu
handling the annual licensing of
cars it is only necessary to con
sider one step in the process, the
addressing of envelopes which
carry the blanks to automobile
owners. Working at the rate of
1000 envelopes a day. it would
take one girl 10 months to com
plete the task, and this la the
simplest step In the procedure. To
save the employment of extra
girls for this purpose in the last
few months of the year, address
lag is started in the slack summer
season by the regular staff of typ
ists and the work is carried along
with the regular activities of the
department so that all envelopes
are in readiness for the blanks
when the time arrives for mailing.
In the sending out of blanks and
of the permits issued subsequent
ly more than two and one-half
million pieces of mailing material
must be. handled, including the
enclosures and the envelopes ne
cessary. "With he reduction in fee3 and
the need for buying only a half-
year's license xt this time, it Is ex
pected that a more prompt re
sponse will be made this year by
the nrotorlst and the secretary of
state has completed arrangements
to be in readiness, lor that re
sponse." ;
More than 3000 petitions for
United States patents have been
filed by Rhinelanders Jn the Co
logne consular office auring the
last four years.

PITTSBURGH (AP) A new
kind of steel making furnace has
been devised at Carnegie Institute
of Technology.
It Is different In that It has a
melting chamber filled with pure
argon, the same- non-inflammable
Invisible gas that Is used in most
electric light bulbs.
In lights, argon reduces evapor
ation of the filament, but In the
Carnegie furnace it furthers a
quest for pure manganese steel,
something never yet produced
commercially but sought for its
potentially great usefulness in ma
terials requiring toughness, re
sistance to wear and unusual mag
netic properties.
The research Is conducted by
Dr. Francis M. Wallers, Jr., direc
tor of the bureau of metallurgical
research. .
The argon lurnace Is the last
step In a series of purifications ne
cessary to produce the sought for
new steels. Previously, gases in
the iron and manganese must be
removed. Few persons would ev
en suspect iron ot containing gas,
but it does, in form of a small
amount of oxygen that exercises a
decided effect on the properties of
the iron.
Finally, some good table suger
Is converted into a pure form of
carbon for melting with the puri
fied iron and manganese. The
melting pot of the new furnace is
air tight, containing not even a
heating element.
The intense heat needed for
maktng steel is produced by in
duced electrical currents from a
coil around the furnace. In It
are placed the three pure ele
ments, the air is pumped out and
replaced by an atmosphere of ar
gon. The first job of argon is to
catch a stowaway, in guise of a
thin layer of air one molecule
deep that is. not much more
than a billionth of an inch thick
that adheres to the Interior of the
furnace even after the vacuum
pump has been used.
Heating drives this air layer in
to the argon, which is pumped out
and replaced by the pure gas.
Argon is one of the "noble"
gases in ordinary air, owing its
beneficent title to the fact that it
refuses to combine with other ele
ments.
' It justifies this name in the fur
nace by acting as a sort of moni
tor, keeping out of the forming
steel itself, and preventing any
thing else from going wrong.
One of the handicaps to making
manganese steel by other methods
which argon overcomes is to pre
vent any manganese from evapor
ating.

By C. E. BUTTER FIELD
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP)
A single stage of audio ampli
fication, backed up by the screen
grid tubes, Is another way to get
good reception.
By dropping a stage of audio
and making that remaining push
pull with two 246's engineers have
reduced extraneous noises and Im
proved tonal qnality. Despite the
omission of one stage, volume Is
sufficient on both local and, dis
tance. The screen grid tubes In the RF
amplifier give plenty of stepup.
Tuning is by a three-gang conden
ser, with the antenna adjusted by
a variometer or moveable coll,
which Is operated by the same
shaft that turns the three-gang
condenser from a single knob. In
addition extra tuning Is available
by a Feparate variable condenser
in the antenna circuit.
Only one 227 Is used, that for
the detector socket. The usual
280 tube supplies power for this
six-tube receiver.
Particular pains have been tak
en to shield every part of the set
where feedback or whistles would
be developed. Omitting even one
shield will cause ascillation.
The receiver, a table model, has
sliding doors to, enclose the tun
ing panel. The dial indicator is
unusual in that a shadow is used
to show the number correspond
ing to the station tuned in.
The table model is designed to
fit onto the top of a console con
taining a dynamic speaker. It has
sliding doors in front of the speak
er opening to match up with the
receiver. A standard AC recep
tacle In the back of the chassis
is accommodating the plug for the
speaker. This plug completes the
power supply circuit, and the re
ceiver will not operate unless it
Is in place.
For quick vealing, the Oregon
Experiment station recommends
feeding the calves whole milk and
all the grain tbey will eat. Skim
milk and substitutes have not been
found to make satisfactory veal.
Successful vealing, however, de
pends largely on the initial body
weight of the calf, and therefore
the heavier breeds such as Hol-
stelns, Brown Swiss, or even
Ayreshlres make much better veal
than Jerseys or Guernseys.

NASD PRESIDENT
KENOSHA. Wis. Another out
standing American iml trial
leader today contributed further
encouragement to the nation In
the way of his expressed convic
tion that general business condi
tions were on a mot sound foot
ing. C. W. Nash, president of the
Nash Motors company, In a per
sonal letter to the Nash dealer or
ganisation which will reach ap
proximately 12,000 Nash dealers
and salesmen throughout the
country stated: "There is nothing
wrong with general business con
ditions In our country at all."
Continuing. Mr. Nash said. ' Now
that some parts of the country are
sobering up from the effects of
their stock market Intoxication, It
might not be amiss to pause for a
moment and take stock of our
selves and of general business con
ditions. "Let me say that In my judg
ment there Is nothing wrong with
general business in our country
at all. It is a fact that in many sec
tions of our country they do not
know, neither are they Interested,
in what has been going on in the
stock market.
"I am willing to admit that in
some sections of the country right
now, on account of everybody be
ing upset, the automobile business
is suffering a little. In other
parts ot our territory sales are
running ahead of last year at this
time.
"My opinion Is . that everyone
who goes after business in an ag
gressive manner will be surprised
at the amount of business to be
secured.
"I also am impressed with the
belief that next spring will see a
very normal business, and those
who still have confidence In the
country in which we live, and will
go to work and work hard and
discontinue talking panics, will be
the chaps who will come out on
the top of the heap."
SEOUL, Korea..-(AP) South
Heian province, 150 miles north

leopards which has caused the
closing of schools because par
ents will not let their children go
abroad. Many cattle have been
killed. One village reported a
visit from a Korean tiger, a spe
cies larger than the Bengal var
iety of India.
Shipment of iron ore out of

Warnings of the danger attend
ing the operation of any automo
biles in a closed garage, owing to
the ever-present peril of carbon
monoxide poisoning, are being
sent all Oldsmobile and Viking
owners by Oldsmobile-Viking serv
ice officials. The warning is time
ly. Inasmuch as the advent of
cold weather increases the likeli
hood of owners starting their cars
and warming them up before
opening their garage doors.
A description of carbon monox
ide and the warning prepared by
the Oldsmoblle-Vlklng service of
ficials follow:
"Carbon monoxide gas is form
ed as one of the products of com
bustion of fuel In an engine. En
gines which are operated in a
closed garage send out a consider
able quantity of this gas through
the exhaust system in a short per
iod of time, particularly If the en
gine is cold. Unfortunately, this
gas gives no warning whatsoever
to Its victim for the reason that it
Is colorless as well as odorless,
and its presence cannot be detect
ed by any of the senses of smell
or sight. Many people, although
having some knowledge of this
gas, mistakenly confuse It with
the blue or black smoke seen is
suing from the exhaust pipe. This
black smoke, in addition to being
visible, has a pungent odor, pro
ducing an irritation to the throat
and respiratory organs, as well as
frequently causing a slight head
ache. "Carbon monoxide, on the other
hand, causes no such effects and
due td being undetected, affects
its victims without warning. Un
fortunately the action of this gas
Is so rapid that it can produce
complete unconsciousness within
a very few second, t : .Cases havo
frequently been knowti wjiere per-
sons breathing this gas have un
doubtedly not been aware of its
presence or Its effects until sud
denly feeling faint they attempt
to reach fresh air but are over
come before being able to take
the necessary steps. Consequently,
It Is of great importance that you
should always keep your garage
door open any time the engine if
running In the garage."
CALORY NEED IS
LONDON (AP) A new yard-
stktk of poverty lian been de
viced by the London School of
Economics.
Calories are the basic units of
the new measurement.
The investigators disregarded
popular conceptions ot compara
tive comfort and poverty and de
termined scientifically the num
ber of calories necessary to main
tain the average person's healfft
Thirty-three hundred calories a
week are necessary, they decided,
and the amount of food capable
of supplying that number of cal
ories can be bought in London at
present for seven shillings, or
about $1.75.
Taking Into consideration the
site of the average family and the
fact that two-thirds of the aver
age London family's Income is
spent for food, the investigators
arrived at the rigure of 34 shil
lings (8.50) weekly as the income
of a family which, in present-day
London, can be considered defin
itely poor.
Those with incomes of less than
334 shillings are classed as "very
poor" and above 40 shillings
($10) a week can consider them
selves -as being merely In strait
ened circumstances not actual
poverty.
At the conclusion of its survey
the school will have applied the
poverty yardstick to about 30,000
families, the houses for Investiga
tion being selected from the note
books of school attendance offi
cers. The survey is being financed
through grants from the Laura
Spellman Rockefeller memorial
and the London Parochial Chari
ties trustees.

What They Think'
of
Education
By CORNELIA OTIS SKINNER
I am Increasingly amaxed at
the rare and manifold opportuni
ties our colleges and universities
offer young men and women.
I may confess I am a little
alarmed at their almost too per
fect equipment million dollar
laboratories, elaborate gymnas
iums, little theaters with lighting
systems worthy of Max Reinhardt.
One wonders if things are not
made too modern, too easy.
The students I meet impress me
as being keenly Intelligent, splen
didly straightforward, friendly
and polite. What they lack (and
this perhaps is characteristic ot
young people today) la a certain
Inner warmth. Nor have they the
sense of courtesy not organised
courtesy, but the gentle expression
of the art of living.
There teems nothing they can
not learn at the modern univer
sity. They may pursue Journal
Ism, mechanical engineering, di
etetics, social hygiene, dressmak
ing and expert accounting; they
may listen to the finest musicians
and the greatest of lecturers of
today Imported to their vast au
ditoriums; they may develop their
bodies in stadiums, swimming
pools and gymnasiums that would
have dismayed the Athenian ath
lete. Yet there seems to be omitted
from these elaborate curricula the
one quality that should be trained
at a pliant and impressionable
ae, an art (even call it a science)
that makes life bearable for us
all, rich or poor, artist or business
man, dreamer or politician im
agination. The sense of beauty suffers
bitter reverses In modern life and
Is all too quickly stifled. Yet
without it, and Its next of kin.
