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.

INDEPENDENTS
ARE LIMITED BY
ELECTION LAWS
Defeated candidates for republi
can or democratic nomination as
governor of Oregon aro barred by
state laws irm running on an in
dependent ticket for that office at
the forthcoming general election,
state officials here point out.
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. Two
per cent hi this instance would be
e.400 voters.

Declaring that there Is the biggest

stated was found very satisfactory

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

men who hae tried this plan tay
they have saved enough extra seed

He says if a man has a swather to

not need to go to the expense of
buying a swather If he can use the

it is said.

selection committee which conduc

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

Some of those who failed, argued
that favoritism guided the commit

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

of which Mrs. Frances F. Burke, of

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

in infancy and youth. This larger
comes as a sacrifice, however, for
tne reproductive span Is shorter and
the spontaneous activity of the be

The speaker said he had made
extensive experiments on the Albino
rat, regulating their diet bv dlvld

each group a different percentage
of protein food. The life span of
tne rat is tnree years, he said, so he

The results showed, he said, that

the exception of the size of their
offspring.
Lieutenant V. O. Clapp of the
United States navy, who addressed

that pilots of mall and transport
