BLU-GREEN GAS COMPANY OPENS SALEM SERVICE Point Barrow, Alaska tJPi A shortage of flour, sugar and cot' fee at this farthest north point in AJasaa naa caused the natives of the region to turn southward along we coast Friday as the Arctic Ice pack continued threatening to pre vent the regular arrival of ships from the outside. A southerly wind during the last few days has kept the Ice pack from locking against the coast, holding It In a great white barrier m short distance off shore. Although the natives have been forced to hunt elsewhere, conditions are not serious. Polar bears are about the only ones that have enjoyed the hold ing Intact of the pack off-shore. An old native last week counted 45 of the white animals frolicking on the Ice where they had been at tracted by the carcasses of seven whales killed last month. The Ollmore Oil eoirmanv Satur day Inaugurated distribution of its patented Blu-Oreen gasoline through Independent service sta tions in Salem and vicinity.

Sections 3087 and 3988 of the statutes, as Interpreted by Hal E. Hons, secretary of state, provide that "No candidate for nomination, who falls to recelvo the highest number of votes for the nomination of the political party with which he was affiliated at the time of filing his petition for nomination, shall be entitled to be the candidate of any other political party, or to become an Independent candidate at the ensuing election." Oregon's political situation, knocked topsy-turvy twice within six months by the hand of death. Is thus cleared of a half dozen pol itical leaders who might possibly, although not probably, have run on an Independent ticket for governor. There is always that possibility of an independent candidate run ning for governor if the selection of a gubernatorial nominee, to be made by the republican state central committee, Is unsatisfactory to great number of Oregon voters. The law provides two methods ol proceedure for the person who seeks public office on on independent or non-partisan ticket in this slate. The names of Independent can didates shall be placed on the Nov ember ballot If an assembly of at least 100 qualified voters meet, or ganise, sign and file a certificate ol nomination with the secretary of state, or if petitions are signed by at trust two per cent of the voters who cast their ballots at the last previous presidential election.

MOVE TO WACOM) A Hopmere Mr. and Mrs. Ray Weldner, Barbary Jean and Earl Weldner have moved from the Dess Martin place at Hopmere to the Oeorse JtTacs place ax Waconda. Declaring that there Is the biggest growth of vetch in the valley ever known in Oregon and with it hard to handle with the binder or com bine, Charles R. Archerd states that farmers are talking of making hay with the vetch Instead of threshing. He declares there Is too much hav In the country as It Is and has been recommending a plan used up at Forest Grove lost year, which he stated was found very satisfactory Ulrre. He suggests under this plan, so as to save the seed, to take a mower with a windrower on it and cut down the vetch before It is ripe or before the vetch begins to hod. it can then be threshed with a pickup wm we cumoine. Arcnerd says that men who hae tried this plan tay they have saved enough extra seed over the old way of threshing or cutting with a binder, to pay for vile extra, picKup. He says if a man has a swather to work with the combine, he can do ine same tning exactly but he does not need to go to the expense of buying a swather If he can use the wuiorower. He states that everything would indicate a good price for vetch seed and an overproduction of hay, par ticularly If the hay is cut for hay Instead of threshing It. recommendations or the croupe. form them around the original rules and requirements and draw up i complete code of music teacher ex amining standards. It Is expected that the new sys tem wiu require more rigid train ing for those desiring to teach and since a mlnumen requirement is to be set, recommendations and ref erences will have to be the best, it is said. "I feel sure that whatever arivie the committee advances will be the best Information obtainable for for ming the new code." Howard said. Members of the committee are out standing In music work in Oregon and have reputations that place them high as authorities In the item ox music. MUSIC TEACHER TESTS SOON TO BE ORGANIZED Uniform regulations ffovernlnv me siaies examination and certl. flcatlon of high school music teach ers will soon be completed, accord ing to C. A. Howard, state superin tendent of public instruction. Revision of the examination code was expected to end a long contro versy between applicants who failed to qualify for examination and the selection committee which conduc ted tne examination. a lew years ago. teachers were employed directly through the local superintendent of schools. A uni form system of selecting became necessary when thestate decided to anow nign school credit in music to those who completed a course of study outside regular school hours. Musicians who desired to teach pupils with the purpose of recom mending them for high schol credit were formerly allowed to make im plication for the positions. The ap plications were lorwaraed to a com mittee of competent music author ities chosen by the state suDerln- tendent of public instruction. The commltteeselected those snDllconts snowing preferable Qualifications. iney were allowed to take the ex amination for teacher's certificates. Some of those who failed, argued that favoritism guided the commit tee In making its selections. Thev ossea mat requirements necessary to qualify for examination, be set forth. To this query, there was no avail able answer since no set rule had been evolved. Committee members' knowledge of music was their only guide In making choices. When superintendent Howard came Into office he took the matter in his own hands, carefully watched every application and gave his per sonal attention to those who failed. The names of those chosen for a committee were kept strictly secret In order to preclude any charges of favorltelsm. However, the same question of what requirements were necessary In or der to pass, was still in evidence. Howard then recommended that a committee to study the problem and submit a repprt, be chosen by the Oregon State Music Teachers Association. He desired that the committee make any recommendatlor i It saw fit In order to draw up an Intelli gent standard of requirements. That committee, the chairman of which Mrs. Frances F. Burke, of roruana, nas reported to Howard that their recommendations were completed and would be forth coming in a few days. Howard said he would accept the COOKS SHOULD BE SCIENTISTS, PROTEIN FOODS Eugene, Ore. (IPi Dr. James R Sloanaker. Stanford University, who aaaressea tne western Society of naturalists section ol tne American association for the advancement of science here Friday said that If man were to reach the highest point of efficiency, the paramount ne cessity would be to make scientists out of cooks so that protein diet could be regulated to the best advantage. "The state of health of human be ings, the size and vigor of then children, in fact, how people as well as animals feel and act depends largely upon the protein diet." he sold." Dr. Slonaker said that the size of the offspring is not only regulated by the amount of protein In the diet of parents, but of the proteins in wiiat its ancestors ate. Too much protein is detrimental, he said, ex cept that the offsprings are larger in infancy and youth. This larger comes as a sacrifice, however, for tne reproductive span Is shorter and the spontaneous activity of the be ing is lessened, or. Slonaker said. The speaker said he had made extensive experiments on the Albino rat, regulating their diet bv dlvld ing them Into five groups and giving each group a different percentage of protein food. The life span of tne rat is tnree years, he said, so he was able to make observations thru several generations, starting with 10 per cent as the lowest and 26 per cent protein as the highest, obser vations were made as to food Intake. spontaneous activity, reproductive ability as to number, character and vigor. The results showed, he said, that practically all of the activities were greatest with rats given 14 per cent protein while those given the high est showed the least activity with the exception of the size of their offspring. Lieutenant V. O. Clapp of the United States navy, who addressed tne Meteorological division, said that pilots of mall and transport pianes wnose routes lead over moun tains must familiarize themselves with the conditions of ice forma tions in order to avoid them before it Is too late. In experiments con ducted over the mountains of Ore sm and Washington, Lieutenont Clapp found that freezing rain did not play a large part In the forma tion of tee. The most serious hazard, he said, lay in the rapid change of temperature when going to pass over the high mountains. "Through knowledge of the topo graphy, forecasts and warnings of ice danger," he said, m"ust be the pilot's aids in overcoming this ser ious danger."
