FOREST RADIO
USE IS URGED
IN FINE WORK
A national radio conference to
Instruct foresters in the use of for
st radio will be held at the U. 8.
forest service radio laboratory, 122nd
and East Gllson streets, Portland,
February 20 to March 2, Inclusive,
according to forest service an
nouncement. Forest officers will at
tend from all forest regions of the
United States, end the 20 national
forests of Oregon and Washington
comprising the North Pacific re
gion will be represented, It is said.
The purpose of the conference,
according to the forest service, is to
train representatives of all forest
regions in the equipment, installa
tion, service and maintenance of
the special short wave radio sets
that are rapidly coming into use
on the national forests.
The nation-wide movement for
forest radio was Initiated and first
developed through the regional oi
flee in Portland and Is said to mark
a new epoch in the technique of
forest fire fighting. Other forest
regions of the Rocky mountains and
Paclflo coast have been quick to
take up the use of radio. In this
region the Olympic and Chelan na
tional forests In Washington and
the Siskiyou forest in Oregon, have
been leaders In radio installation
which also Is being developed on
the Colville, Wenatchee and Colum
bia national forests in Washington
and the Mt. Hood, Sieuslaw, Rogue
River, Umpqua, Umatilla, Ochoco
and Malheur forests in Oregon.
"The rugged mountain country of
the Chelan national forest is typi
cal of the terrain in which forest
radio is proving Invaluable in the
suppression of forest fires," states
a forest service official. "Radio
sets are installed at key positions
from which telephone connection Is
maintained with lookout stations.
'Smoke chasers' who are sent to
extinguish fires that have been
'spotted' by lookouts also go equip
ped with portable sending and re
ceiving sets." These portable sets
can be operated from any point at
"the front" to contact lookouts ana
obtain corrected fire locations with
out the loss of time required in
returning to telephone communi
cation. Besides its service In fire fighting,
forest radio figured largely last
season In the prompt rescue of the
body of the University of Washing
ton student who fell Into the cre
vasse at Crater Rock on Mt. Hood.
It proved useful also In connection
with the patrol of the Oregon elk
hunting area, required during the
open elk season of last November,
according to forest officials.
WARDS OF STATE
GROW 5 PER CENT
Oregon'i wards Increased more
than five per oentv during the last
two years, figures filed with the
state board of control for budgetary
purposes showed.
In January, 1033, there were 5825
In Oregon's 10 state institutions.
At the opening of this year there
were 6121.
The hospitals for the Insane and
feeble minded showed the largest
gain. The hospital for the Insane
has 2202 inmates now where it had
2145 before. The feebleminded home
now has 915 over 848. The Pendle
ton hospital now houses 1300
compared to 1210.
The blind school has Increased Its
population from 42 to 62, the two
tuberculosis hospltBls have showed
slgiht Increases, and the boys' train.
lng school, the Industrial school for
girls and the Portland blind trade
school have stayed at about the
same number.
The only Institution to decrease
Its number of Inmates Is the state
penitentiary. A total of 810 are
now in the prison as compared to
869 two years ago, a condition part
ly due to the large numbers of par
dons granted under the Meier administration.
Ignition Key Loss
Held Not Necessary
Manv a motorist has been annoy
ed by the loss of an ignition key,
but this can De avomeu ay maing
an extra key In some accessible
place about the car, the emergency
road service or tne uregon uiaie
Motor association has suggested.
For the person who locks his doors,
it has bten found wise to conceal
an "extra" inside a hub cap. It
also may be put under a running
mat. or, for the man who doesn't
drive a closed car, it may be placed
under a floor mat. Of course, tne
association warned, thieves also
have brains.
INCOME TAX

Olympla, Wash., Feb. 21 (LP) A
net Income tax bill patterned after
the federal Income tax law and

Martin's "omnibus" tax bill, provid
ing a retail sales tax. It would
raise between $1,500,000 and $2,000,
000, tax commission officials estim
ated. The bill was so written to get
around recent state supreme court
decisions against a graduated In
come tax and tax-limitation laws
on flat Income taxes.
The tax would be levied "on the
privilege of receiving an income."
After deductions were made, the
tax would be three per cent on
amounts up to $4.00 and a surtax
of four per cent on amounts In
excess of $4,000. All receipts would
go into the state general fund.
Exemptions were $1,000 for single
persons, $1,500 for married persons
and $400 additional for each de
pendent. Other exemptions Includ
ed ordinary business expenses, in
terest payments, taxes, losses, bad
debts, depreciation, depletiot and
contributions.
Other deductions included cllvl
dents from corporations, interest on
public secreitles, like Insurance pro
ceeds, annuities, girts, injury com
pensation, corporation stock cuvi-
dents. Federal employes and pen
sions would be exempt.
DOUBLE GRIEF FOR
14-YEAR-OLD BOY
an Francisco, Feb. 21 (LP)
Troubles seemingly more than a
14-vear-old boy should be caned
upon to bear were disclosed today
when Denny Murpny wrote a leiwr
to a newspaper here.
The letter read:
"The S. F. pound had taken my
dog Thursday The day my mother
was buried. He Is called rrince
and has black spots on his eyes.
The reRt. of his body Is white. I
would like to know If you could
get my dog for me. I feel lonely
without my mother and my dog."
A reporter hurried to Corbett
Ave., picked up Denny and rushed
to the pound.
Too late Denny's dog Prince had
been executed by the city in lieu
of tax payment.
SEEK COURT DIGNITY
Reno, Nev. (LP Because practic
ing attorneys thought it would be
more dignified, they petitioned the
state Sum-erne Court justices to
wear judiciary robes when the high
tribunal is in session. Nevada is be
lieved to be one of the few states
where the Justices do not wear the
Jutllclnl robes.
