VETS AGREE TO DO
COW TEST CHEAPER
27M (Cents set in County
Meet; Court Asked to
pay 1214 Cents
! ! '
"After; considerable heated dis
cussion indulged at a called meet
ing held yesterday In the office of
Dr. w.JHf L.ytle, state veterinar
ian, Marlon county veterinarians
agreed I to test dairy cows for
twenty-seven and . one-half cents,
provided this sum could be ob
tained as the group figured.
The veterinarians agreed to ac
cept 15 cents from tbe owners, as
In the past, and 10 cents from the
county court, also In accordance
with past practice. , They also hope
to add two and a half cents ad
ditional, which the court has been
paying on tags for the individual
cows, bringing the total to twenty
seven and one-half cents instead
of maximum of 25 cents as In tbe
past. The group asserted that use
of Individual tags was not neces
sary, and It was pointed out that
most other parts of the state have
discontinued .their use. - ;
.County Commissioner Smith
said after the session of the live
stock men, held on call of Dr. Ly
Ue. that !the county court had pre
viously! gone on record as agree
ing to pay the two and a nan cents
additional to veterinarians It tags
were hot required;
In view of this, it seems the
veterinarians' difficulties as far
as . testing dairy cows, are over.
The county court and veterinar
ians came to disagreement more
than a !year ago, when the latter
asked for more money from the
county and were turned down.
During the past year, Dr, C. L.
Simmons of Silverton and Dr. G.
F. Korinek Of Stayton have been
the only I vets In the county , test
ing under the old rate, and these
hare tested only upon calL This

v
SHANGHAI, Jan. 9. (AP)
The fan of the value of the Mexi
can silver dollar in China. to the
lowest on record has almost par-.
alyzed foreign business and com
mercial houses face a crisis. Some
Chinese, however, professed to
day to see in the situation the pos
sibility of. quick industrial Inde
pendence: for their country; ;
With jthe silrer dollar- worth
only 22.12 cents gold, many. im
porters said the customers could
not pay four silrer dollars for for
eign goods worth" one dollar1 in
gold, i - !
Many Chinese buyers refused to
accept contracted goods from im
porters, saying the declining price
of silver made it impossible to sell
the articles without heavy losses.
No One Risks Selling
Or Buying Transactions
Domestic trade, as well, as im
port and export business,; suffer
ed acutely. Banks, piled high with
silver i dollars, reported transac
tions near stagnation, no one bet
ing willing to risk buying or sell
ing with the fluctuating and de
preciating , currency. Fewi buyers
possessed enough silver, to meet
prices : exclusively on a gold basis.
Steamship lines - reported con
siderable decreases In cargoes ar
riving and leaving China, and pas
senger traffic much affected. The
new tariff, effective January 1.
added to the difficulty by raising
duties, which are payable In gold.
Some local industries, however.
have been benefited, as accumu
lated silver dollars were poured
into them rather than into for
eign products. Real estate has in
creased in value and building and
land development in Shanghai has
been much accelerated.

NEW YORK. Jan. 9.
baby's life, when scientifically recorded with a motion pic
ture camera, foreshadows his later life, j The pictnre meth
od which hints the future was exhibited publicly for the
first time tonight at a lecture sponsored by the psychologi
cal corporation at New York academy j of medicine. ;
Beginning at about the. age of O ! ' ,
two months, Gesell said, the ba
bies are placed once a month in
a hempherical photographic
dome where they cannot see the
observers or the motion picture
cameras. Little red cubes, halls,
strings! and bells intrigue them
into doing their human-development
stuff for the movies. ;.'
"The studies at Yale show
that individual differences In
capacity, emotional characteris
tics, personality traits and body
type declare themselves early,"
Dr. Gesell aaid. j
These differences are com-;
parable In kind and degree to
those observed later in life.
Extreme Behaviorism Not 1 '.
Borne out by Studies -.
"Many of the differences are
due to I Innate or constitutional
factors ' and- are not the direct
cesnlt of experience or. condi
tioning,; The j extreme views ot
behaviorism with regard to In
fant conditioning are not borne
out by careful .experimental ob
servations Of Individual, infants
and of ! identical' twins. f!
Tale also has a nursery equip
ped much like the photographic
laboratory. It! is used both for
observation 1 and guidance of
young children and' guidance of
parents perplexed about their
children's behavior. :'-, h
-Society,", said Dr. Gesell.
"must use all I possible methods
to improve the health and alert
ness of the human mind, which
needs the strength to carry the
culture that It creates. Ample
protection ' can ' come only
through Increased knowledge Of
the nature and the laws 1 of hu
man growth, and this knowledge
Is coming through modern - sci

the meat-eaten in America, a con

Others Want Senate Post
Sam Brown's telephone must

numerous calls from, friends of
various candidates for the ap
pointment to the vacancy 'in the
senate. The news aa reported, in
Friday's Statesman, to the effect
that the present - members of the

house vacancies stirred a vast
amount of interest all! over the
county - Reaction to hews that

than even the builders' estimated.
Gregory admitted, but pointed out
that the city was paying out all

the garbage business to a profit.
At present garbage is sorted and
all refuse is now buried or thrown
about the grounds, while under
the plant developed by Gregory,
every bit of garbage is turned
Into by-product, and for the op
eration no sorting of garbage 1
necessary.

Strong Pressure Put On
Brown Since News Is Out
Dean R. R. Hewitt and Chris
Kowltx were named as those hit: It
in favor; but so great has been
the pressure on Senator Brown
that the Hat Is virtually beinr re
opened. There Is the probability
that Senator Brown who Is reluc
tant to make the i recommenda
tion on his own authority, will
recommend several! names leav
ing the final selection to the new
gpvernor. Tbe Issue will probably
not be finally determined until
after the enablng legislation is
finally,adopted and the governor
announces his decision.
Members of the house from
Marlon county yesterday said
they had nothing to do with the
naming of possible senators to
fill the late Senator Reynold's
place. Their entire attention was
denoted .to a successor to Dr. W.
Carlton Smith. -. i . ,
