"Without or with offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes." m-noN. Ford and the Farm Henry Ford is out with un attack upon the farm and farmers generally. He asserts that the farmers' toil is waste and food production ideas are all wrong. He predicts that farms in the future will he larger and run more systematic ally and says the little farmers will have to go, as back num bers. "Why," he asks, "do we need farmers any way?" It is the cow, however, that evokes most of Mr. Ford's criticism. He declares: l ilon-t IK'llcvo In dairy cows. They nre the most Inefficient cic.uuros in uio world. Why should a farmer spend a lot of time tciirtiiig u hunch of cows? It takes only 20 days of actual farm work to grow and harvest the crops on a dairy farm. The rest of t lie lime is spent tlikiiiB care of the animals. It's all wrong. Soiueouo will invent a way to malte milk synthetically. It will l,e cheaper and hot ter than the milk we have now. You know, I don't believe much in milk as a food unyhow. Mr. Ford's idea of the perfect life is that of a factory, with humanity mechanized, standardized and synthetically fed. In his own factories he sacrifices toilers to moving belt efficiency which so exhausts their vitality that human wrecks are turned out almost as rapidly as flivvers. Nature must be very sinful in Mr. Ford's eyes, for nature is the most wonton of wasters. In fact nature teaches what Mr. Ford cannot comprehend, that waste is a necessary function of production and that without waste, production would soon cease.. Moreover nature refuses to standardize production and never makes any two things alike, whereas Mr. Ford would standardize even humanity,' White-Washers? Me, Milt and Myers come pretty nearly being the Democratic parly in Oregon. Whenever there is anything with expenses guaranteed, Milt is the man of the hour. So we find the gonial "Sage of Lebanon" on pretty nearly every commission and as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo tentiary to distant gatherings furnishing round-trip tickets. When however, "my administration" and "my policies" are at issue, an S. O. S. call brings Myers to the rescue. When, as a result of Ku Kluxing the prison, discipline is banished from the institution and three are killed in a suc cessful break and there is loud and vigorous outcry against the management, who can white-wash Waller belter than his old chum Jeff aided and assisted by one who holds office by grace of the governor? So Myers is as much on the job as Cleaver's pooch was on the manhunt. If Governor Pierce doesn't know what the matter is with the prison, the people have the advantage over him, for the coroner's public investigation of the prison break was wry thorough and revealed the sorry story in detail. It doesn't need any special invesligalors in inform it as to the why and wherefore of prison turmoil and Mr. Myers will have his hands full white-washing the administration even with the assistance of the hero of the battle of the windshield.

Patricia slept but little, and was up and out so early that nono of Iho stores were open. Hut she found that she could buy tinned hash, which tent her Into the seventh heaven of happiness. "I'll have It baked In Individual dishes, with a slice of tomato nnd a poached effg on top," sho decided as she ran home. "And I can neat the baker's roll In the oven, so 1 won't have to mnko muffins oh, it won't be so bad." It ii t it was worse than sho had expected.

Patricia went to bis rescue, found the extra bath towel, res cued Mrs. Hewitt, who was prowl ing through Uio ball, hunting for the kitchen .she had a bad head ache, she told Patricia, and wanted hot water and bicarbonate of soda. Patiicia got it for her and went hack to the kitchen. She was opening the tin of hash when a lb-.ht tapping on Hie kit chen door slarllcd her. Gregory Hewitt's head appeared as Hie door swung back, "Are ymi gelling the breakfast alone 7" he demanded. She nodded meekly. "The cook's ;;one to her brother's wedding, and the second maid went with her," she answered. "And this- this is the hash?" waving his hand toward the tin. Again she nodded. "You w-oTild have it," she remind I him. "There was nothing In the house to make it of; Andrew and I havn't dined at home for a week." "Now see here; I'm going to help you do this," he announced. "You set the table and do the ex tras and I'll see to the bash and make pop-overs. Wait HI I you taste 'em!" "Wonderful!

KELLY AND WILLOS TALK FREELY ABOUT BREAK FROM PRISON (Continued: fiom Page One) then to Fallbridge, and from there to White Salmon. "What did Murray and Willos quarrel about? Oh" with a slight smile and shrug "about the direction. About who was to lead. Everyone had different ideas. "Yes, we broke into a store at Bingen. We left too deep a trail there. We cracked the safe didn't get much, only a few dol lars. But we got some clothes and food. " Kellcy.was dressed in good, serviceable rough clothing, with denim overalls outside. The men were all clean and shaved. "Then we broke into a section house and took some gasoline. Pair Headed for Yakima "We put it into a small Over land auto standing near a garage close by. We threw in our stuff and started. Then the Portland county officers got us. "We were going to Yakima and had gone about half way. We left the main highway, about a quar ter of a mile, to cook some food. The cops who were trailing saw us first. They got mighty close perhaps 100 " feet. They saw us several seconds before we saw them. They all bad us covered with rifles when they called to throw up our hands. There was no argument. "Wo had only one gun with us, Willos' .38. It was the one we brought from the pen. It was loaded with five cartridges, but only two you could depend on. The others wer.e three different makes, and maybe they didn't fit very well. "What's the use of worrying?" Willos said, his hard face unmoved by emotions, "i got myaelf into it; I guess that I gut to take my medicine." "We didn't figure on any shoot ing when we planned our getaway. We thought that wo could eeize the arsenal, get guns aud just march out. "Oregon Jones, I think, went crazy. The night befoie we left he kept talking about being dead, I think he rlann&d ou dying in lIq break. "I was the last man down the rope and don't know anything about the warden or the fight in the turnkey's office. Jones hud commenced shooting from the ur iienat before 1 startod down the rope. Wheu I hit the ground, a guard wus there with a rule against my back. "Tom Murray was right about the seven guurd There was a whole block, of 'em outsido the sate with rifles 1 think that w had been tipped off but when. Murray and .Jones started shoot ing at them, they ran for cover. "I didn't see a tntng of the war dsn. Someone t'-aid lie was shoot ing at us, but if he was we never .iaw hhn. "Where did we go after wc left the taxi driver at Pratutu? Oh, we just wandered around. No, we didn't run into any posses. Where did we leave the automobile after young Newman drove us to Port laud?,, I can't tell you, I don't know the town. "The etory that Murray and I had a fight is about right. Tom wanted to keep on riding trains and I wanted to get under covor. He got sore and quit us. Wo bust ed into a store at a hick town last night and got this layout of clothes and some grub. We stole an automobile, the one we were riding in, and etarted off for the Yakima country. You know the rest. We stopped for lunch, the deputies saw our tracks, surround ed us and stuck us up. bo here we are." COLLEGE IN BOSTON STUDIES EARTHQUAKES Boston. When earthquake shocks of any considerable magni tude are felt In any part of the world, the public soon utter reads statements of scientists concerning the situation. In recent years statements from Engineering Economics Foundation have been appearing with increasing regu larity and members have been asked many times "Just what are you trying to do?" The Engineering Economics Foundation Is really a collego without a cam-pus, operating in Boston and is engaged in gather ing aud disseminating informa tion concerning national emerg ency of all types and methods of reducing loss of life and property in emergency. It focuses its work upon earthquakes because they in clude virtually all types of hazard. The headquarters of this collego nre in an old house on Beacon Tiill, into which come reports from every section of the world that relate t! disturbances within the earth. It is from these reports, which scientists study constantly, that deductions are drawn. FRANCE IN M0B0CG0 Berlin, Germany. One-half of the foreign legionnaires fighting ou the side of France against Abd-el-Krim in Morocco are Germans, in the opinion of Berlin military Oxperts. Not only is It untrue that Germans have come to the aid of the Moroccan chieftain, they say, but on the contrary France is being euportcd by about 12.000 to 15,000 German subjects enrolled in the foreign legion.
