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.

The average cord of four-foot

90 cubic feet of wood ana Darn,
and from 38 to 43 cubic feet of air

recently made by the Pacific noun-

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.
In the Interest of Your
Child's Safety
A children's laxative for a child!
No more vital a law was ever laid
down. Reducing the dose of
adults' laxative does not make it
into a children's laxative. What you
want is a preparation made ex
pressly for children.
California Syrup of Figs is pre
eminently a children's laxative. It's
prepared especially for children. It
takes into account their immature
organs and meets their special
needs.
California Syrup of Figs is a
wholly vegetable preparation. It
contains no chemicals. It is made
of elixir of senna and the syrup of
California figs.
Senna, as you know, is a nlant
leaf of natural laxative properties
and harmless. Fig Syrup, as you are
also aware. Is a delicious and whole
some product. The two senna

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.
California Syrup of Figs moves a
child gently, but thoroughly. It in
duces a thorough and easy bowel
movement, but without any griping
or cramps. It does not leave a child
drawn and weakened. So smootniy
does It work, in fact, a child scarce
ly realizes he has taken a laxative.
That's the action you want. Mother
thorough, but gentle!
Your Conscience
Put at Ease
California Syrup of Figs is absolute
ly non-habit forming. You can give
it whenever needed without fear of
it becoming a necessity. Can you
say that of the laxative you now
give your child?
Also and important to you as
well as the child California Syrup
of Figs Is pleasant to take. You
don't have to chase little Bobble
or Mary all over the house to get
him or her to take this preparation.
For years California Syrup of
Figs has been recommended for
children by physicians. Your own
doctor probably knows it and en
dorses It. Why take chances with
your child's laxative when you
know you have one of known suit
ability for children?
