FARM EXPORTS HIT 20-YEAR LOW MARK American farm exports In Janu ary hit the lowest point In 20 years, said the federal bureau or agri 4 cultural economics. Index figures for shipping of farm products from the United States In that month was 57, where a year ago It was 93 and In December it stood at 62.

Forest Facts CLOUDS ARE SEEN ON PLANET MARS Cambridge, Mass., March 21 (fl") The observation of exceptionally brilliant white clouds on the planet Mars by Kuiper, Dutch astronomer, and by Dr. William H. Wright, 01 the Lick observatory In California are reported In a communication made public by the Harvard col lege observatory. The announcement received from Dr. R. O. Altken, director of the Lick observatory, said: "Exceptionally brilliant white clouds have been observed here on Mars, between longitudes of approx imately 90 and 130 degrees. These were first seen visually by Kuiper In a casual observation of the planet the morning of March 12 and have since been photographed with the use of color filters by wngni. "They are very conspicuous by ultra-violet light but face In the usual maner of such objects when colors of a longer wave-length are employed." NEW SCHEME SUGGESTED TO . HAMPER CRIME Formation of a department of justice for Oregon along lines rec ommended by the American Bar as sociation will be the major study for the Oregon state crime com mission during the coming bien nlum, Chairman Edwin D. Hicks informed Governor Martin. The commission, created by the 1931 session, was kept on the job bv the last assembly, even though major recommendations of the group were turned down by the senators and representatives. These Includ ed equalization of the number of peremptory challenges by both pros ecution and defense In criminal cases, and setting aside the state penitentiary annex as a reforma tory for first offenders between the ages of 16 and 30. Before launching its next two- year survey, the commission was to submit Its findings to the state crime conference called by Governor Martin for March 29 and 30 In Portland. United States Attorney Carl Donaugh was named by the executive to conduct the confer ence. Weakness and inefficiency in the administration of criminal law in Oregon are due to "an almost com plete lack of organization and con trol," the commission told the gov ernor In a report. "An alleged mass-bungling of in vestigations and prosecutions" Is the result, the crime students said. "It Is our firm conviction that the problem of centralisation of police forces and activities, the re- lation between politics and police and prosecuting officials, the selec tion and discipline of personnel and rural policing must be thor oughly understood before a con structive approach may be made toward Improvement In our sys tem," the commission declared In outlining Its Inquiry into the ad visability of a department of jus tice for the state. Members of the crime commis sion are Martha Randall, William F. Woodward, Ralph S. Hamilton, Mrs. J. Francis Drake, Judge Robert Tucker and Dorothy McCullough Lee, all of Portland; L. G. Lewel- ling, Albany: Judge D. R. Parker, Condon; Philip A. Parsons and Wayne L. Morse, Eugene. Fear Of Shake-Ups Doesn't Hamper Golf Talk of shake-ups In state de partments by Governor Martin hasn't kept state employes from one thing golf. A ladder tournament for men who expect to play in the annual spring golf tournament against divot dig gers who are on the state of Wash ington's payroll has started here The tournament will be played May 12 at Vancouver, Wash. Glasgow, Scotlana, will raise sal aries of city employes. FIRST TOURNEY HERE RECALLED Memories of the first state high school basketball tournament were brought to mind as 16 district championship teams gathered here for the 16th annual meeting on March 20-21-22-23. In 1920, Wtllamete university sponsored the first state-wide tour nament. For three years previous to that time Willamette had staged an invitational tournament for high school teams, then evolved system of district representation similar to that used at present. In the group of about 100 young men who played in the 1920 tour nament were "Slats" Gill, now head basketball coach at Oregon State college, and his brother, Luke GUI, now coach at the University of Hawaii. The Gill brothers were the first tournament heroes. Playing for Salem high, the Gill family ganged up on Lincoln high of Portland to win, 12-11, the final game and the championship practically by them selves. Both wore chosen on the first all-state team. "Slats" went on to coach Oregon State to its first Pacific coast championship in 1933, and again this year to skipper the Beavers into a northwest championship and miss the coast title by one point in the deciding game of a series with University of Southern TMU-omia. of small power sheds, housing auto matic generator seta to supply elec tric current for beacon lights, al eady have been constructed in this manner and found to be satisfac tory, and therefore the type has JOHN JACOB ASTOR TAKES COMMON JOB New York, March 21 (in John Jacob As tor III, whose marriage last year to Ellen Tuck French was a social sensation, went to worx yesterday.

Give That 10-Year-Old A Children s Laxative! Doctors Deplore Giving Children Grown-Ups' Laxatives! The average cord of four-foot split wood contains between 85 and 90 cubic feet of wood ana Darn, and from 38 to 43 cubic feet of air spaces, according to measurements recently made by the Pacific noun- y west forest experiment station. Burls from Oregon and Washing ton hardwood trees, especially maple, myrtle, madrone and ash, form an Increasingly large export to Euro pean ports where they are convert ed Into highly figured veneer to be used in furniture and cabinet mak ing. There are 300 board feet in a cord of small logs as compared to 640 feet in a cord of large logs. The discrepancy arises because the log scale falls to account for all the actual wood volume in small logs. The recently completed forest sur vey of the Douglas fir region shows 25 per cent more timber on the na tional forests than did the former estimates, according to the Pacific northwest forest experiment station. The Willamette national forest In Oregon with its 40 billion board feet, log scale, has more timber than any other national forest In continental United States. If you have a child of any age from! infancy to fifteen you want to be careful what you give him in the way of laxtive. As any doctor will tell you an adult's organs are one thing; a child's another. The laxative that may be perfectly suitable to an adult may be entirely too strong for a child. It may hurt his lnsldes. It Isn't necessary to give your child a drastic laxative of any kind. It isn't necessary to give him a laxa tive he fights against. Nine times out of ten, the laxative a child re bels against Is unsuited to htm.

The two senna On the national forests of west ern Washington species suitable for puip, such as hemlock, spruce and the balsam firs make up the major portion of the stand, while on the national forests of western Oregon, Douglas fir Is the predominant tree. There is estimated to be about one billion two hundred million board feet, log scale, of Port Orford cedar In the world, practically all of which is in southwestern Oregon. Scarlet Fever Less Probable With Years Immunity to scarlet fever increas es with the age of the person, said Dr. Frederick D. Strieker, state health officer. Application of the Dick test for susceptibility shows that 60 per cent of children between the ages of one and five years are susceptible. From five to 10 years the rate is 35 per cent; from 10 to 20 the rate drops to 20 per cent, and over the age of 20 it stands at about 15 per cent. and fig syrup as combined In California Syrup of Figs, make a splendid laxative preparation for children.
