Salem Housewives
Tell Ad Reactions
Ad Clubmen Quiz Typical
Consumers: Facts Are;
" Brought out
An insight into the housewife's
reaction to various types of ad
vertising was afforded members
of the Salem Ad club. when four
Salem women submitted to ques
tioning conducted by E. E. Thom
as, Ad club secretary, at the week
ly luncheon yesterday. Significant
points brought out were: ;
' 1. Illustrations In advertise
ments if not identical shouldibe
similar to the actual merchandise.
2. Women are as willing to pay
more to be stylishly dressed as
they are to wait for end-of-seison
sales. - ; : . -i - :i ' - f
3..The appearance or lay-out of
an ad makes slight difference; if
a woman is interested' in buying
a particular advertised article! she
will read all the ad has -to say
about it. But neat layouts, 'em
ploying- adequate white space, will
attract the casual reader, I the
questioning brought out. j
Women who participated In; the
program -were Mrs. George Rj. K.
Moorhead, Mrs. George A. Rhbten,
Miss Antoinette White and Mrs.
C. C. Geer. - J

Proposed Canal Across Siam
Crash Cuts Power
Service, big Area

. Silverton Longer 1
Electric power service Interrup
tions occurred as far away j as
Woodburn and Silverton Thurs
day night when an - automobile
reported driven - by Stuart John
son, Salem, struck ; and damaged
a high, tension ' line pole on the
Salem-Sllverton road one - half
mile west of the Little Pudding
river bridge, ; Division .Manager
M. HamUton. of the Portland
General , Electric . . company,, an
nounced yesterday. The pole was
broken: off at 8:50 p.m. the
6,00e-volt Mine short-circuited
three minutes later and power not
restored to Silverton until 10:05.
Linemen reached the high ten
sion switch at Bethany west! of
Silverton 28 minutes after the ac
cident, to cut the line back into
serrice from the Estacada power
house to that' point and service
was restored to Mt. Angel, Wood-
burn, and adjacent, territory.
: V :LIne" not' Completed . .
The Silverton service was out
longer,- Manager Hamilton said,
because the 'company's ' high ten
sion line connections ' into that
city, had .not been completed and
it was necessary to break certain
other connections before . power
could be restored. As soon ; as the
high tension connections are fin
ished, interruption of service in
Silverton due to such accidents as
Thursday's will be greatly reduced
if not entirely eliminated, he said,
v The short circuit sent high
voltage into some buildings in the
vicinity of the accident and burned
up switches and fuse blocks.- -!
"We . do wish that if people
must climb our poles, they would
not try; to do it while in their
cars," Hamilton commented, "and
I am sure this sentiment is shared
by all of our customers who are
deprived of service from time to
time by reason of one of these
accidents." . ..

Realtors Advised
On Accident Issue
Warning Given by J. C. Joy
on Danger of Failing
to Cain Coverage
Uncertainty as to whether work
ers in any type of employment
are covered by the workmen's
compensation act is likely to prove
costly to the employer, members
of the Salem Realty board were
advised at their Friday luncheon
by J. C. Joy of the state industrial
accident commission. j
He pointed out that this advice
was particularly applicable t6 re
altors for the reason that they fre
quently have connection in j one
way or another with small con
struction Jobs which are under
taken at times without adequate
knowledge of liability and without
the posting of an acceptance or
rejection card obtained from the
commission. -
In case of an accident Jn a
hazardous occupation, even though
coverage has not been obtained,
the accident commission takes
charge of the case, arranges . for
medical .care and. compensation
and then, if the employer is not
paying fees to the. commission,
collects from - him, the' speaker
pointed out. j
Interpret Liberally '
In , carrying out the provisions
of the involved compensation law,
the commission adopts a liberal
point of view. Out of 40.000
cases last year, only 303 rehear
ings were asked, 203 of these re
sulting in readjustment of the
awards, and only 47 went to
court. All such suits are "friend
ly," he said. Two men were sent
to the penitentiary for self-mutilation
perpetrated to defraud
the compensation fund, he men
tioned. -
Sixty million dollars hare been
handled by the commission In its
23 years of existence, Mr. Joy
said. Of this amount, 9 3.t per
cent has been returned to Work
ers in compensation and medical
care.

WOODBURN The confection
ery and garage of N. Becker ft
Son were entertained early (Tues
day morning by thieves who gain
ed entrance by breaking - a win
dow in the rear of the building.
About $50 was taken from two

mostly in dimes and niciles. The
thieves did not take the pennies
or bother any cigarettes. candy
or other articles in stock. 1
It Is .thought the burglary oc
curred, some, time after 4 O'clock
a.m. as George Becker did . not
leave the place until 2:30 and
Marshal Alfred Ashland inspec
ted -the doors of the place i about
4 o'clock. No clues as to the
Identity of the burglars have been

Spreading the news is the function
of a newspaper. But The Statesman
recognizes it niust do more than that
to be a live, readable paper. So besides
providing you with thorough coverage
of the news, nationally and locally, The
Statesman gives you a full quota of
sparkling features like the women's
pages with their excellent tested re
cipes . . i up-to-the-minute sports news
. thought-provoking editorials .

days) . . complete radio programs . . .
a market page, serial story, pattern
service, pictures . . . special articles by
Dorothy Thompson, "America's first
lady' of journalism" . . . the Sage of
Salem . . R. J. Hendrick's column all
this with the idea of giving readers the
best newspaper possible consistent
with revenues available !
However, there are still further
' benefits or advantages that accrue to
Statesman subscribers. For instance,
by shopping the ads in The Statesman
you'll run across many money-saving
opportunities. (Actually by using The
Statesman as a guide to your buying,
youlll save the cost of your subscrip
tion many times over!) Recently The
Statesman literally placed "an educa
tion at its readers' fingertips" with its
remarkable offer of a ten-volume set of
the "World's Popular Encyclopedia" at
only 39c a volume. Several complete
.sets are still available. There's also the
series of beautiful reproductions of 48
famous paintings. These come in sets
of four, 39c per set, and are proving
immensely popular with Statesman
subscribers. Then, through The States
man's accident insurance policy you
may have surprisingly complete pro
tection at only a dollar a year." Many
interesting special sections published
during the year like the Home Furnish
ings edition, Farm and Garden section,
State Fair Edition, Baby Edition, ac
count in part for The Statesman's
popularity,
o, if you take all these PLUS ad
vantages into account, include The
Statesman's early mail delivery feature
(bearing in mind it's only 50c a month,
2.50 for 6 months, by mail) ' . you
can't help coming 'round to our way of
thinking, which is:
