Technological Unemployment THE prophets of ; disaster ,, because of unemployment through technological improvements have had free play in recent years. The Teriod of the depression with its en forced idleness seemed to prove the contention of Howard Scott and his associates that inventive genius made the fu ture hopeless for the human race; which would progressively invent itself out of employment! , . . There is another side to the picture, which The States man has frequently pointed to. That is, that technological de velopments explore new fields of human need or desire and thus develop new industries giving new jobs to thousands. Recently a tabulation has been made by the National Indus trial Conference board which shows that since 1879 eighteen new industries have been developed which give employment to 1,123,314 workers at the present day. Here is the list with their 1929. employment rolls : - Electrical machinery, apparatus Motor vehicles (sot Including motorcycles) Motor Tehicles, bodies and parts Robber tires and Inner jnhum Manufacture or gasoline . Rayon and allied products Manufactured lee Aluminum manufactures - Typewriters and parts Refrigerators, mechanical Cash registers and adding and computing machines Oil. cake, and meal, cottonseed . , , , Aircraft and parts ., .... .. ; ;, Phonographs Photographic apparatus and materials Motion , picture apparatus (except for, projection in - theaters) - , . ... ,.. .... .. Asbestos products ,. ; . ,,, , Fountain pens T ;j il ii i Mi xkesiaes uiese were are which do not get much publicity; which are providing: em ployment. In addition there concerns like beauty shops, new or give much .greater employment than their predeces sors." The figures show there has been a marked increase in the number of wage-earners in manufacturing per 100,000 inhabitants, from 4,944 in 1879 to 7,273 in 1929. It is true there are dislocations at times which are hard pit individuals affected. Ultimately there is social gain. With out invention and efficient industrial organization we would go far beyond the horse and buggy to the forked stick, the bow and arrow, the hand-operated stone mill. Salem Real Estate THIS from the Oregonian : "Why all the mystery about negotiations and asked price , for Willamette university property as additional capitol grounds? It is a deal on behalf Of the public that is involved. :" . The public is entitled : to know what is proposed before an ir revocable bargain is made. Is it possible that Salem real estate is going to act like the cow that jumped, over the moon, in the face, of demand for land for the state, like Salem prices for other things used to do some years ago at legislative session - time?" . . . We would like to remind the Oregonian that the only price set on "Salem real estate" fs the estimate submitted by the Willamette university on cost of setting up a new plant on a new site; that of mittee three are Portland residents and only one from Sa lem; that one member of the committee is a member of the news staff of the Oregonian; that the architectural firm which prepared the estimates is a Portland organization. The matter of giving publicity to the price submitted is wholly in the hands of Governor Martin. ' The imputation of the Oregonian is unfair, because it is untrue. Henry H. Vandevort HENRY . H. VANDEVORT was in his public service as city councilman "a man patterned somewhat after John ' Randolph Roanoke whose vehement negatives made him fa mous. For ."Vandevort. gloried in being in the minority and - delighted in sturdy opposition. He .openly professed his sym pathy for the "under dog"; and charted his course as coun cilman to protect the interests of the humble citizen. At times his habit of negation made him something of an ob structionist; but always he could be counted on as a friend of , clean city administration, of wholesome civic morals, and of economical spending of public money. He was a force, a man to be reckoned with, who had no fears. Though others might - gnash their teeth at his habit of interposing objection, they ww mm m usually recognized that his motives were,-good. Vandevort ; was thoroughly a native product, a rugged individual with the firmness, and at times with the narrowness of one who lives close to his native soiL He will be greatly missed in civic affairs, for his singular character does not duplicate itself .v : Genuine; or False Front PORTLAND has formed a new employers' assoI jn to promote friendly labor relations.'

Health ftv Royal S. Copeland. M.D. KEEPING HER patient free from bed-sores Is the pride of every-good nntae. Weakened by long and wast ing disease, the sick one is extremely susceptible to bed-sores. They are about the worst of the discomforts which come to one who is bedridden for any length of time. Every doctor and experienced nurse knowa how difficult it is to prevent this annoying disturbance. There is little wonder, that the nurse la proud of ber accomplishment But the one who should be appreciative is the patient, because bed-sores are ex tremely annoying and uncomfortable. Sometimes they lead to serious com plications. Bedding Chafes Skin - No matter what may be the nature of the disease, the chronic Invalid la very susceptible to infections. The skin la lacking in tone and is un able to resist the evil effects of irri tation. On this account it la Im portant that all friction and Irritation of the body be avoided. The parts which constantly rub against the sheets should be well protected. Bed sores are commonly seen at the spots where the weight of the body is felt. The bedding and garments should be changed often. In the case of a feeble and delicate patient,- It may become necessary to avoid even the weight of the bedclothes. This Is accomplished by means of a- "hoop cradle, a device for lifting the bed clothes from the body. When it is used In cool weather, the patient should be adequately covered and kept free from draughts. Constant pressure is the most com. tnon cause of bed-eores, Ai a re sult of prolonged pressure the skin becomes Irritated, breaks down and soon there is a red, moist surface. To prevent this the patient should be frequently bathed, using luke-warm water and a pure white soap. ' This procedure should be followed by an alcohol sponge. Then dry the akin by patting and not rubbing. Use Fint Powder In caring for a sick person,: it la best to wash and dry one part of the body before rolnjt to another art. Start with the chest, then go to the abdomen, the , right arm, back, left arm, left leg; right leg. and the face. This program wiU give cleanliness without unduly tiring the : patient with unnecessary movements. - I am often asked the value of dust ing powder. Undoubtedly It Is of some Importance in the prevention of bed-sores. Be sure, however, -that the powder is of a Aria texture ; avoid coarse or granular preparations. An aeeUent product la readily made by mixing equal parts of sine stearate, cornstarch and any good . dusting powder. . . Answers te Health Queries . ; , ' Mrs. S. 8. Q.

"W " - -Fred Lockleyi column in the Portland Journal for last Satur day, August 24. . contained the words that follow: . - 'I waa horn at what la now Hood River, on May 21, said Mrs. JSdwtrd-Underwood when . I Interviewed -her" at : her home at Underwood, Wash. 'Amos Underwood settled here, first. My husband, Edward Underwood, who was was his brother,: came a lit tle later. Amos took np the claim on which the town of Underwood is located. My husband took up a claim a Utile back from the river. This, his first claim. Is now- known as the Goddard place. The second place he owned is the property of Louie Thun. My husband owned a wood . ranch on the - mountain. They cut wood on his place and slid It down the river.hank, load ed it on v scow,; and when the wind was blowing up the Colum bia they sailed up to The Dalles, where they sold the wood. My hus band and Amos ran a saloon here for some years. , " 'My maiden name was Isa bella Lear. My father, William K. Lear, was born In Virginia. He was a soldier under, General Phil ip H. Sheridan. As yon . know Sheridan commanded a company ot regulars at the time the Yak imas and Klickitats attacked the white people at The Cascades, late in March, 1856. 'My mother and my grand mother were members ot the Cas cade tribe. My grandfather. Chief Chenoweth, was a member of the Hood River tribe 'of Indians. When the Takimas and Klickitats attacked The Cascades they es caped, and the Cascade Indians were left to bear the brunt of punishment for the attack. The Cascade Indians had always been friendly with the whites. My grandfather, Chief Chenoweth, had eaved Mr. Hamilton, for whom Hamilton Creek and Ham ilton mountain were named, from being killed by Indians. Chief Chenoweth and eight other Cas cade Indians were hanged. In dians do not write history, and while the white men, at the time the incidents occur, may know the facts, the history is written by the white men, so the Indian side is rarely known or told. You will usually find that when a treaty is made with the Indians the white men expect the Indians to observe it to the letter, while the white men observe the treaty if it Is to their interest to do so; otherwise, they will violate it. Naturally, the Indians are rest less when no dependence can be placed on the word of the white men. If Indians wrote their side ot the Indian wars it would fre quently be found that they were caused either by the bad faith of the white men or by acts of ag gression ot the whites. When White men are killed there must be victims sacrificed to atone. Chief Chenoweth, though a friend of the whites, was a victim of the vengeance of .the white men. " 'My father was here only a short time, and left this part ot the country before my birth. In fact, I did not see my father until after I was married and had child ren. Many yonng army officers who served in Oregon and Wash ington prior to the Civil war had Indian wives. It was a custom at that time, and there are a large number of half-breed Indians in Oregon and Washington whose fa thers later became distinguished army officers during the Civil war. " My mother died here about 30 years ago.' ' V Mrs. Underwood gave Mr. Lock ley the names ot her 11 children, eight daughters and three sons. She told him she was married at 16, her husband then being 27, and that she has 14 grandchildren and IS great grandchildren. . No doubt what Mrs. Underwood told Mr. Lockley was In the main the truth as far as Bhe knew it. But her statement of the inno cence of her grandfather who was hanged with eight other Cascade Indians ought not be allowed to go unchallenged. V Let's take the testimony ot General Philip H. Sheridan him self. He wrote an autobiography under the title ot "Personal Mem oirs of P. H. Sheridan," publish ed. In 1888. V In order to give the setting, the writer trusts the reader will Jus tify taking space enough to quote a large part of chapter five of the first volume of the Memoirs, cov ering the particular episode call ed by some writers the first blood of the then young second lieu tenant's career (he was less than a month past 25. having been born March .6 ot 1831), which was to cover the , command of whole armies In the field and class him the greatest cavalry leader in history up to his time.

Jerome and Linda dislike each other; but, nevertheless, are will ing to risk being mutually bored rather than endure an indefinite stay aboard ship. From the mo ment they land -on a strange island, queer happenings occur. . . . Their boat is set adrift, their clothing stolen; yet there is no other sign of a living human, except periodic cries from the jungle. Exploring, they come upon a small plantation and house, having every appearance of being well tended but vacant. Among the few house furnishings are some priceless Spanish chests. The discovery of a heavy whip leads Linda and Jerry to assume that the owner must be crueL CHAPTER VH There came suddenly the rapid clangor of "what most nave been a very large belL It sounded no great distance away.. The notes were deep but muffled as if the bell were be ing thumped by some substance not hard enough to strike a clear note. Also this pounding was irregular, both in its spacing and in the force of the successive blows. Linda said, "Another nutty per formance.' "It tells us something though. "I knew it already. We've pitched on to an isolated reservation for lunatics." "There may be something in that," "Plenty. Whatever dinky repub lic this island belongs to has rounded op its crazy nuisances and dumped them out here. This is the keeper's residence and he's gone off somewhere.1 "There must be somebody in charge. That bell is probably where they're quartered." She went on. "They're given the run of the island bat taught to keep away from these premises. All the same you'd scarcely think he'd leave them without a keener." A horrible thought occurred to Jerome bat he kept it to himself. He wondered if the island could be not only a dumping ground for mentally afflicted but also a leper colony. That would explain its Im munity from the danger of trespass. It might be a sort of Caribbean Molakai. An isolation colony for the undesirables amongst whom might be a number who had lost their reason, whether through dis ease or other causes. ' Linda said. "If these creatures are prisoners you'd think they'd have tried: to get away in our boat instead of merely setting her adrift. Pity you couldn't have kept your sye on her." He retorted. "Ifa a pity yon touldnt have lent a hanj to help patch her op instead ol going half a mile down the beach and staying there." You might have known I'd had ' all I eould stand of you without a : breathing spell before the next hitch." r "Yes, and what's come of it?" "Well, what are you going to do about it?" - Here was another problem Jerome could not answer. He turned to cooking "the eggs and -getting some biscuits out in alienee.

The Last Round-up cons cry with its jeering quality burst out again. This time before it died away others that were shriller and syncopated joined the medley. The macaw called in its harsh voice, then flew away. Linda said, with the irritability that is provoked by fear that one resents. "That doesn't sound like anything human- to me." "It's crazy," Jerome admitted, "but not dangerous necessarily. She glanced at him sharply. "You're scared yourself. Why not admit it?" He refrained from telling her Just why he was in a state of such Jerome found a steel hook securely was encircled by a clammy dread. To be marooned on an isolated reservation for lunatic natives , was bad enough, but the idea that they might alio be crazed from loathsome disease and hope ieasnesa and isolation was infinitely worse. . fiat he said reassuringly.
