:. PORTLAND. Nor. 5-tr-The
state highway : commission said
.Ifcursday that It wilj not . keep
pen this winter am- roads lor
scenic and recreaUoael. purposes.
The decision was prompted, the
"commission said, because of de-
pleted funds, ' gasoline rationing
i which soon will curb unnecessary
travel and military demands for
the highway departments snow
removal equipment.
--u The commission authorized
$1750 for 500,000 scenic Dostcarda
; which willrbe i auppUed gratis to
men m the armed forces. The
cards, which will bear Orecon
views, wJOl have a printed invita
tion: "After the war drive Oregon
iunways."'i !
.'. ; D. H. Peoples of Bend, chairman
of the Oregon section of the high
way 30 eommtttee,. requested that
, the highway, running west from
Albany, thrpugh Corvallis to New
port he def gnated as highway 20.
He explained that No. 20 ia the
proposed designation for a coast
. to-coast highway.

.tend. the meeting of the American
.Association of State Highway of -
Tiiciais at St Louis December 7-9. i
- Earlier Thursday, the eommis-
.sion virtually despaired of getting
.completed two small bridges to
.-the Vancouver ferry slip.
Lindstrom Bros . contractors,
- told the commission the lumber
naa been xroeen twice, unfrozen 4
once, and tied up another time
when AFL men refused to handle
It because it was cut by a CIO
crewi The Linda tr ems wanted to
be released from the contract. .
' The board, however, refused
the request and sought new means
of releasing the lumber. Delay in
the bridge job. is delaying instal
lation of bus service between 33rd
avenue here and the ferry slip.
Lack of bus service is delaying
operation of a-second ferry to
Kaiser shipyards across the Co
lumbia river.
The commisfiian asked for bids
on eight rock, production Jobs but
got onlv three. .
Counties and cities were ad
vised to pool their snow removel
equipment for this winter.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. MVYou still laugh at the story about

The cows may never; learn to

peacefully in his " Fifth avenue
apartment after a serious illness
that kept him more or less in

, He was 64 years old, and only
a few weeks ago he said that he
was recovered enough to take an
other of his long habitual walks
in Central park and also said that
he soon was planning , another
appearance i on Broadway both as
actor and producer. v..-.v-
President Boosevelt was one of

The son of a family act that
was famous In vaudeville, Cohan,
who was born at Providence, RI,
on July 4, 1878, was - aa . actor
since the age of 7. One of his
first roles was In" Peck's Bad
Boy." As a boy he wrote one-act
plays for his family,' the Jour Co
hans, and he also wrote songs for
Lottie Oilson and Maggie Clilne,
two outstanding variety stars . of
those days. - ' " ' '
v Cohan, oetspokentoian who
always said that his office was In
his hat, wrote more, than 40
plays, about 100 songs and scores
of vaudeville sketches. He was
awarded the Congressional medal
for his "outstanding contributions
to the American spirit; which In
cluded many patriotic songs In
cluding the famous "Over There."
He was a nun who was the
personification of Broadway; and
he never liked Hollywood al
though he went- west a few times
to make some mvoies. In addi
tion to his play and song writing.
he became a producer when he
met Sam IL Harris, who had" been
interested in some . amateur the

the ' government's expert farm
planners are thinking about the
"farms of the future."
They say wider use of electric!
ty after the war will bring many
revolutionary changes to Ameri
can farming, to make life on the
farm much easier-and more at
tractive to the younger genera
tion.
Among' other things, farmers
may be plowing with electric
tractors, using high frequency
soil treatment In place of fer
tilizers, pasteurizing their own
milk and waking the chickens
an hour earlier with bedsid
"hurzers.
Says M. M. Samuels, chief of
the technical standards division
of the rural electrification ad
ministration:
"This time we won't have so
much trouble keeping the boys
'down on the farm after they've
had a look at Reykpavik, Singa
pore, Berlin, Tokyo or any other
place they'll see during the war.'
"They'll be coming back to a
better farm life a life with vast
ly improved comfort, convenience
and economic opportunity.

place that offered adequate op

Riley.
"Don't look surprised, he said.
"Why not?" !!
Every farm kitchen and every
bathroom will have sterilization
by means of a sterilizing lamp or
similar device, he predicted.
"Running water and lights in
every shack.
What about those electric trac
tors? "Storage batteries are the an
swer." The farmers can charge
the batteries for almost nothing
at night, with the low cost power
that you are going to get after the
war."
This REA engineer, who has in
vented a number of electrical gad
gets himself, also visualizes the
use of electricity in exterminating
the corn borer and practically
every other farm pest. i
"Yon are going to have home
dehydration, home wheat grind
ing, high frequency for exterml
atlon of ants, termites, mice,
cockroaches, and boIlweevils,M
he continued.
He even forecasts a- "postage
stamp" electrical rate, the same
retail price per kwh everywhere.
"Why not?" he again asked.
"And "maybe you wont have
meters at all, you will just get a
bill for so much a month, de
pending on the transformer size.
Why not?"
