Weather in May
Damp and Mild
The month Just past was not
only the dampest May ever know n
in Bend, with 3.76 inches of mois
ture recorded in the 31 days, but
It was one of the mildest mid
spring months In many years.
. Only twice in May did the night
temperature drop below the treez-
. mg point. The minimum was 25
degrees, registered on the 20th,
and the chill was listed as "kil
ling" only in scattered localities,
with no damage to crops reported.
Although the month was mild,
the weather was not the best for
the growth of crops, primarily
due to the lack of sunshine. Only
Jive oi tne .n oays were cnarteu
as clear. Overcast skies were
general in the last half of the
inontn.
The mean temperature for the
month was 50.9 degrees, just a
fraction of a degree under the
long time normal. The preelplla -
tion was 2.63 of an Inch in excess
of the 43 year normal
Three electric storms were re
corded In May, and all three
brought moisture, in the form of
ram and hail.
The maximum and minimum
temperatures for May, 31)45, foi

(Uii'uwi i'ra smtf c..rc....nj1iiti
Washington, June 4 Ul'i The!
suggestion has been made (and i
I am gladly passing it along to
whom it may concern) that our
congressmen need some advise on
how to hoist their wages.
They're nrguing about giving
themselves each W.aou extra per
year in I ho form of a tax-free ex
pense account and they're bloody
ing noses In the process. My econ
omist' .-nvs this is a- perfect ex
ample of what he's talking about.
Why pay a congressman anything
when he's debating whether he
ought to raise his own wages?
My man says he ought to sweat

somewhat to fit their particular
trade.
'j'he idea, as I get it, Is to pay
'em a fee for each law passed and
perhaps (my expert admits this
1 needs further study) a fatter fee
i for each law voted down. The
fewer laws they made the more
money they'd earn. Who, my spe
cialist asks, could kick about
that?
He'd also put congressmen on
a kind of slldingscale commis
sion basis, something like shoe
salesmen In reverse. They'd get
their slice of every appropriation
but the bigger its size the smaller
their share. This also would take
some figuring, my man continues,
but it should pave money. He
calls it his Incentive plan. It
works out like this:
A congressman who spent
.$1,000,000 would receive $1,000; if
he spent $10,000,000 he'd get may
be 20 cents and in the form of a
postal money order nt that so it
would be a nuisance cashing it.
Those figures, of course, are ap
proximate, but my accountant

A PROGRAM FOR WAR WIVES
The problems of marriage are
preponderently the problems of
women. Now, In time of war,
the future seems to depend on
wnai ine women no today,
j nere are still women, even
in this age of women's Dropress
who believe their effort is over
wnen they have acquired 'a hus
band. But a wohnan must keep
UP or lose out. The woman who
sinks into mental apathy, who
looks at the world about her
without curiosity cr Interest, has
created a kind of vacuum of dull
ness and boredom about her.
There was a young man from a
plain background who forged his
way up to an important Dosition
and married a charming society
girl. She was pretty and attrae
five and he believed she had all
the qualities he desired in a
woman. But he was an energetic
and ambitious Chan, verv hard
working, and his mind was filled
with theories and ideas that he
wanted to discuss and test In
the crucible of talk. For a few
years, he and his wife yere, to
all outward appearances, happily
married, but the girl made no at
tempt to learn anything about

2 Both the Chinese coolie and our Union Oil truck
drivers are transportation workers. Yet the coolie makes only
5c a day and our truck drivers average $9.90. Why? Well,
the coolie, with his equipment, can only transport 10 gallons
of kerosene about 20 miles in a day.
5 This equipment is oivned by 32,227 Union Oil stockhold
ers. But who owns it isn't so important as the fact that it is
available for use. For while the stockholders' dividends last
year amounted to 3 on net capital invested in equipment,
the employees were able to earn far more than that from the

but it was not enough. In time,
he discovered that other women
were neither bored nor blankly
indifferent when he talked to
them. In the end, he and his
wife were divorced and he mar
ried a woman who was not as
pretty as his first wife, but who
cared about sharing his interests.
If possible, the war bride
should try to finish college. She
should learn to read the news
papers intelligently and to grasp
the issues that are at stake in
the war and in the postwar world.
Aito she must, by reading the
accounts of the war and the
books of men who have been in
action, try to understand some
thing of the experiences through
which her husband has gone.
These young women must ac
quire a broad culture by reading
not merely the contemDornrv ac-
counts of the turmoil in which
we live, but the great books of
tne past wnicn illuminate human
nature and brine the Dast. plow-

They must know what men have
thought in the past, where they
have succeeded, where they have
failed, before they can give con
structive thought to the future. '
I would not venture to indicate
what books should be read, what
subjects should be studied. These

The democratic system with Its
self-government is based upon
an informed citizenry. But the
majority of the young men in
the service have had their educa
tion curtailed. While many plans
have been made to continue or
to supplement what education
they have when they return, the
probabilities are that only a few
will take advantage of these op
portunities. War is, at best, an
unsettling and a maturing pro
cess, and the returned service
man Is more likely to want to
plunge into earning a living
