10 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON TUESDAY, JUNE 21, 1932 CIVIL SERVICE FOR POLICEMEN GOES ON BALLOT Only Alderman A. S. Henderson voted against an ordinance bill last night referring to the people at the November election a bill to put the city police department under the ctll service. The move to give the department the privileges of civil service fol lows closely on the voting or civil service for the fire department at the election of May 20. The council passed a bill amend ing the toning ordinance so that apartment houses In class 3 resi dential districts may establish mul tiple garages and parking lots. It was believed the absence of this provision In the existing ordinance was due to error In the printing of the ordinance. On recommendation of the com mittee on committees Alderman Henderson was appointed chair man of the committee on ordin ances and member of the ways and means, accounts and current ex penses, and health and sanitation fjeagaiittees. These committee posts were vacated by the retirement of Alderman W. D. Evans. The ordinance bill to provide a 1100 annual license tax on wood dealers, for the benefit of the dealers operating plants In the city hi competition with dealers from the outside, was killed by the adop tion of an adverse committee report. Sidewalk bids for the construc tion of a large number of walks, mostly within 12 blocks of the city center, were accepted. The names of contractors submitting the low bids were published several days ago. Instructions were given City En gineer Rogers to extend the city aewer to the district bounded ' by uoiumoia. Pine, Front and Com mercial streets. The two-hour parking restriction was extended to High street be tween Perry and Trade. In response to a request from the local chapter of the Oregon Building congress, made through Prank P. Marshall, the council eave the builders the privilege of roping off Church street from Court to Ferry for an exhibit of floats at next Saturday's building day cele bration. The, floats on exhibition In the afternoon will be those ap pearing In the parade in the fore noon. Failure of Salem property owners to cut weeds and grass from vacant lots and parking strips without such action being forced by the city was taken cognizance of last night, and a resolution covering the situation will be brought In at the next meeting. NIGHT PASSENGER FLYING DEVELOPS New York (IP) One of the out standing developments In commer cial aviation in the United States last year was the rapid Increase In night flying with passenger trans ports as well as mall express planes. The figures on night flying are Impressive. American air transport lines carrying on scheduled dally operations flew 17.li8.191 miles In 1031 at night. About 40 per cent of the present dally scheduled mileage Is flown at night. The total mileage flown in Europe (exclusive of Rus sia) In 1931 was 23,500.000 miles. Of this approximately 100,000 or 2.97 per cent was flown at night. The largest night operator In the world Is United Air lines, which Is flying ,000,000 miles a year at night out of its total of 14.000,000 miles annually, and frequently has as many as la mall-passenger planes flying simultaneously at night In various parts of the country.

Donald Stewart's advice to prospective hitch hikers Is "Don't. And he claims to be an authority on that manner of travel lng, having Just completed an 8,000 mile trip to the Pacific coast and re. turn. "The game Isn't what it used to be," Stewart said. "There are too many hitch hikers on the road." But for those who will disregard the advice of the veteran, Stewart offers the following suggestions for hitch hikers: One Do not stand In the middle of the road and thumb. Instead, cultivate the friendship of a filling station operator, or a hotel man. Either might be able to arrange a ride for you. Two Keep your clothing in the best possible shape. Shave every day. Three Wear a light suit. Too many dark clothed fellows are re sponsible for lowering the standards of the hitch hikers. Four Talk to drivers in a straight forward manner. Five In dealing with dowagers, bow from the hips and smile. Crave her Indulgence in the sweetest of tones and present you references. Six Always carry your creden tials. BOATING RECIPE FOR LONG LIVING Buffalo, N. Y. U The best recipe for a ripe old age Is plenty of boat ing, according to Dr. Ellsh P. Hus- sey, 80. An audience of 600 "landlubbers" heard Dr. Hussey give the Initial lesson In a "gorund school" course in yachting at the Buffalo Yacht club headquarters. "Some landlubbers may get a thrill out of knocking a little ball Into a hole in the ground," Dr. Hussey said. "But I don't want to even mention them. Let's talk about the yacht ing. There Is something spiritual In every mood of the sea, from a dead calm to the heaviest gale. It takes you out of yourself. It builds the serenity and depth of character which Is the basis of a long and happy life. There is something miss ing from the life of every man who has not held a tiller.

There are lour possible solu poratlon whereby the latter would pay the city (ISO a year on a live year contract, and In addition half the earnings of the port during the last two years of the contract. The proposal to lease the port to Eyerly, who has been superintendent of the port since Its establishment, was made several weeks ago, but on ly last night did the aldermen turn. ble to the fact that It Is a question of some Importance. As soon as the contract had been read by Alderman Townsend, chairman of the airport committee, Alderman Kowltz got up and objected to granting to any pri vate organization a $50,000 subsidy. "It Is pretty raw," he said. "It Is no worse," snapped Alder man Dancy, "than letting him have It for nothing, which the city Is do ing now. If we lease It the city will at least get from under liability In case of accidents." Dancy said that as far as he knew the city was re ceiving not a cent In returns from the port, but Kowlts said a small amount was coming In, "We ought to let the airport go to the highest bidder, declared Alder man Vandevort. "I wlil pay more than Eyerly offers If the city wlil let me have the ground for a sheep pasture, and I will give $100 a year for the tractor. As far as this con tract goes it Is a darn crime." The whole thing Is a crime," said Dancy. "It was a crime when we bought It." Alderman Patton reminded the council that the city was paying out $2500 a year In Interest on the air port bonds, and said It would be better to keep it a year or so longer then cut it up Into lots and sell them to pay off the bonded debt. "It was thrust upon the city as part of the American Legion's pro gram," he said. "We have the baby and I guess we've got to take care of It Patton suggested that the contract be made for a year Instead of five years. This was agreeable to Dancy who moved that It be referred back to the committee. This was done.

BUILDING TO SHELTER VETS TO BE OFFERED Washington, June 21 (IP) Ap parently convinced that the bonus expeditionary force Is here to stay, Police Superintendent Olassford Is negotiating to rent a vacant build ing that would house 2,000 or 3,000 of the army of destitute World war- veterans. Authorities have hoprd from day to day that the army would begin to dissolve. Instead, It Is their hopes that have faded. Officials now hope the veterans may begin to leave when 'congress adjourns, perhaps late this week. But leaders of the bonus army assert confidently that this will no more deplete the 18,000 now here than did the senate vote last Fri day by which the bonus bill was killed. The leaders have sent recruiting agents to all parts of the country and confidently expect to Increase their forces here to 50,000. They plan also to build up a reserve strength of 150,000 veterans to cam paign at home against Congressmen who opposed the bonus. Meanwhile the veterans at thelr camps and billets throughout the city have settled down to a dull rou tine. Meals are regular though meagre. There are all the details they became accustomed to during the war kitchen police, guard duty, minute-men, lecturers. . Little attention Ik paid to the future. What determination exists is directed to hanging on from day to day. Despite foul weather, the army has developed a degree of comfort. Sanitary conditions are Improved. Trash Is collected regularly. A bulletin board announces under the caption "Attention Mothers" that fresh milk can be obtained for children at "the Toledo tent fol low the fence." Several families are stIU riving at the camp despite authorities' efforts to move them to better quarters. Night Patrolman Given To Yew Park The Yew Park and South 12th street district of the city Is to have a night police patrolman, and It won't be necessary to appoint an additional member of the force for the purpose, the police committee reported to the city council lost night. The report was In reply to a petition from the district asking for an officer to take the place of tne late umcer o. t. victor. The officer will be on duty after July 1 when he returns from his vacation. In the meantime a spe cial officer, who Is being paid from the city emergency fund, Is on duty In the district.

EVANGEL KNOWN AS SIN KILLER Springfield, Ma (IP Just who had the emerlty to apply It publicly no one seems to know, but, at any rate, he's known hereabouts as "Sin Kill er." Far more simple Is the reason therefor. The Rev. J. 8. Butler, col ored, is tn exponent of the typical southern negro "camp meetln' gos pel doctor." During the three weeks he pre sided over and exhorted tn a recent revival, "Sin Killer" received many Invitations to preach at various places. He had to turn them down, for his meetings here, where he "concentrates and consecrates, oc cupy all his time. Hes confronted now with the problem of finding a tent that will accommodate his followers. When I get me a tent, a real big tent," the negro preacher prom ised, "I'll sure turn this town topsy turvy. It's old-time religion we need. That's what we're going to get. Off for Qulndaro, Kan, to de liver a commencement sermon to students of Qulndaro university. 'Sin Killer ' wasn t Just sure how to spell the name of the town. But he disposed of that problem without a qualm. "The conductor man," he shrug ged, "will know where I wants to go."
