COWS SMARTER THANJUMANS Portland (IP) Pilot J. W. Taff of the Varney Air Lines is sure that some cows have more sense than some people. Developing carburetor trouble at the edge of Portland on a trip from Pasco Thursday, Taff chose a near by field to make a forced landing, fearing that If he continued to Swan island airport he might have to make a forced landing In the city. The only difficulty he encoun tered was that there was a herd of cows in the field. frail circled the field , at an alti tude of 100 to 150 feet and numer ous persons ra nto the scene. He though someone would realize he was In trouble and wanted to land, n dwould drive the cows out of the way, but apparently no one did. After a halt hour, however, the cows seemed to become aware of the pilot's plight and accommodatingly bunched up at one side of the field. Taff landed, repaired his damaged plane and flew on to the airport.

Forebodings of some 111 to befall the stock market on the eve of Friday 13, brought a hasty retreat Thursday by bulls and gave the bears the honors for the day. Whereas the bullish element bad ruled supreme at the opening and in the early trading with Diocxs oi 5,000 to 18,000 shares turning over at single sales, the bears were in complete control In the later trad ing, and prices were breaking rap idly as the close approached. Selling became more and more pronounced as the time drew near for the closing gong. ' The fever seemed to spread and notwltb' standing the fact that nothing but unconfirmed rumors were circu lating, traders were loath to hold their stocks. On the morning advance, prices had been carried up 1 to 5 points above the previous close. In the fifth hour these gains had eradi cated and losses ranging from I to 7 points substituted. The market played no favorites. Practically all groups suffered In the reaction. , U. S. Steel, which had been car ried up more than two points in early trading was among the first to give way. Then Radio wmcn had made a new record for the present shares, sold off quickly and leading shares like General Electric, American Can, Int'l. Telephone, Montgomery Ward, and Johns Manvllle followed. The latter at one time was off more than seven points from the previous close and nine from the early high. General Motors nad held well through the selling, but It too fin ally succumbed. Even the oils that had been giving one of their best demonstrations in months, were swept downward in the selling ava lanche. New York, P) The high price stocks tobaggoned rapidly in the final hour.

Harris, with a unique con traption invented and manufactured by himself, has put Mill creek to work for him at his home on the Island in Mill creek near Capitol street and now stands around with his hands In his pocket while the creek waters his lawn. He figures that the sort of watering his lawn Is now getting from his invention Is saving him $20 a month if he used the same amount oi water irom me city mains. He placed a water wheel in the creek, and inasmuch as his lawn is around 12 or 14 feet above the creek, he attached a series of small cups on chains up from the water wheel, something like the chains in a grain elevator, and the water is hauled up, dumped into a funnel and car ried in a hose out onto the lawn. There he Just lets It run, going around occasionally to move the hose and he is letting It run day and night. In the winter he plans to pull up the water wheel and atore It for another summer.
