easily be handled by the manager.
FIRE AJfD POLICE, CHIEFS

as the appointing authority. The
manager would appoint the fire
and police chiefs and discharge
or suspend them subject to the
present civil service regulations.
WATER DEPARTMENT The
water commission would not be
affected In any way by passage

He was not pleased with the
reeult.
Cooly, the yenng officer talked
np to the high command. He
wasn't Impertinent but he wasn't
jittery, either. He said bluntly
that Insufficient training time
had been allowed.
Pershing like It
When the war ended the young
officer returned from Europe as
the general's senior aide de camp.
And when the venerable general
of the armies lay near death a
few yeare ago at Phoenix, Aril.,
he called to his bedside the same
man General George C. Mar
shall, now chief of staff of the
United States army.
Actually, fellow officers say,
George Marshall was marked for
a high place in the army long be
fore his brush with Pershing.
Early la his career he arrived
in the Philippine Islands Just
prior to extensive maneuvers. The
officer who had planned the troop
movements had fallen lU at the
last moment and the problem was
dropped into ' Lieutenant Mar
shall's lap.
Army men say he did a whale
of a job. General Johnson Hagood
recommended that he be pro
moted from first lieutenant to
brigadier general in one lump.
but the president did not act on
the recommendation.
For years, critics of the army's
system of promoting by seniority
up to the rank of eolonel have
cited Marshall as an examole of
brilliance penalized by the sys
tem. Perhaps his best known
achievement In the World war
was organising the secret move
ment of 820,000 men in 14 days,
preparatory to the Meuse-Argonne
offensive.
General Pershing called this
"a stupendous task," and a Brit
ish military man said It was "the
most difficult staff operation of
the war."
Right now General Marshall is
concentrating on the organisation
of a mechanised corps of two di
visions, adapting to American
needs the lessons learned from
operations of the famous German
"panser" divisions. Later, he says,
there may be two and even three
such corps.
But he isn't rushing willy
nilly to adopt all the weapons and
methods nsed recently In Europe.
As to gO-ton tanks, for in
stance, he Is keeping in mind
the fact that many bridges In
this country wouldn't hold them
and that the scene of aetfon might
be anywhere on this vast contin
ent. "Ia Europe," he izplti&tfl,
"they knew exactly every bridge
and every road they would en
counter. Furthermore, the general says,
the army Is planning Its current
expansion in such a manner that.
"If the Lord is good to us" and
the necessity for a large fighting
force fades away, the country
wouldn't be burdened with a
heavy permanent load of person
nel and buildings.

Cain Wide Attention
WASHINGTON. Oct. 1X-P-
The agriculture department listed
tod &y as one ot the major agri
cultural developments ta recent
years the growth of fruit and
vegetable production In Washing
ton and Oregon. .
The department termed the
survey and Inventory ot what the
nation has In agriculture and
what It aeeda to meet the uncer--
tainltiee of eompetltloai aad de
mand.
The most Important effect! !
teehanollglcal developments oa
the weet coast are likely to be
felt la the commercial fruit and
vegetable areas. the review said.
"Washlagtoa and Oregon pro
duced about oae-fourth of the
total United States pack of (ros
ea vegetables la If It. This rep
resents a tea-told increase la five
years and a further expansion
appears probable.
"The rapid development ot
frozen packing probably will
mean that the areas of the south
aad southwest (including Cali
fornia) that now produce small
fruits and vegetables for the
northern and eastern markets
during the winter and early
spring will lose an important part
of their market outlet, unless
they can remain in production at
prices comparable to those pre
vailing whoa the prod nets from
the more temperate areas come
os the market. The higher acre
yield and smaller production ex
penses give the temperate areas
an advantage that will Increase
the adverse effect ot frosen pack
ing on those areas now produc
ing 'out of season' fruits and
vegetables.
"On the Pacific coast, frosen
packing is likely to favor the
northern part ot the region where
it may furnish an alternative en
terprise to distressed orchard
areas. But one must bear in
mind that many areas in this
country are physically suited for
growing high-quality fruits and
vegetables required' ta freesing.
la the next few years the indus
try may develop faster la the
north central states and the
northeast, where production will
be eloaer to consuming markets.
"In any consideration of agri
culture changes in thia region;
however, one' must not neglect
the rapid Increase la population
on the Pacific coast. The popu
lation of Washington. Oregon
and California about doubled be
tween 1110 and liJO and in
creased more than a half million
between ItSO aad 140. This
change In location of the con
suming population means aot only
better local outlets for poultry,
eggs, fruits aad vegetable but
also larger markets for dairy
production and meat animals.
Further agriculture development
In this region la likely to be con
centrated on food staples, ta view
of the unsatisfactory long term
outlook for deciduous fruits. Such
a development would lead sta
bility to the farming la the re
gion asd would alio tind to pro
mote greater conservation of're-
The review said that frosen
packing had Increased fast In
popularity and that such foods
retain "la a high degree original
properties ot the foods. It said
the process la some ways was
more applicable to vegetable than
to fruit beeaeio vegetable! gen
erally are cooked before being
used and the changes In texture

Vacmim-43eaxiiiig
Cows Pay Scot
Dairyman Profit
PORTLAND. Ore.. Oct. ll-CP-Aad
there was the Sooteh dairy
man who vaeaaav-eleaaed his
cow! and sold the dirt.
It's no joke to Arthur S. Ifoul-
ten. owner of the Mlddale Guern
sey farm at Vancouver, Wash. He
admits:
1. That he Is Scottish.
3. That he vacuum-cleans his
cows.
t. That he sells the dirt.
Purchasers of the pedigreed
dirt It eomes from the mostly
hlghlybred cows are two Port
land physicians who uss it in ex
periment! involving allergies and
hayfever.
Another trick of the youthful
Scotsman, who holds a Phi Beta
Kappa scholarship key from Ore
gon State college, is feeding cows
yeast.
"Another dairyman first got the
Idea to step up bovine appetites,
which in turn led to increased
milk production tor cows milked
on test," Moulton explained.
"I got the idea it might be
used to increase the vitamin Z
content of milk.
"Tests hare proved I was right
that it increased vitamin D eon-
teat of a quart of milk to a point
where It equaled that yen would
get from a teaspoon and a halt
of codllver oil.
"The best part of ft is that the
milk tastes and smells no differ
ently aad some of the doctors
around here are paying premium
prices to git It for their own chil
dren. The milk helps prevent
rickets aad checks tooth decay.
Butter, made . from the create
also showed a definite Increase
la vitamin D content, under tests
conducted by a national research
body, Moulton said.

To the Editor: The theory la

Those ot aa who dissent believe

has been to penalise those dairy-

board was told during the last
aessloa ot the legislature, by aome
members ot that body, that It
woald have to remove the restric
tion against permitting new dairy
men on the markets or tho next
legia later would repeal the law.
In response to that threat, the
board derioed and ha had ia ef
