THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1935 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON 21 MARION HOLDS SECOND PLAGE IN GARDENING Multnomah leads Oregon's 36 counties In the number of subsist ence gardens already planted this year through the sponsorship of the state relief committee, with almost 7,000 already planted. It Is figured that already in the state 20,000 gar-, dens have been planted by families on relief rolls, and It Is expected this total will hit 25,000 or 30,000 before the summer Is far spent. Marion is the next highest gar den program planted- with 2,391. then Lane with 1450 and Clackamas 1407, according to April figures Just compiled. The May and June fig ures will run this total, It Is esti mated, to 30,000 gardens, which will make the Oregon rcliei cannery program also much larger and of 'p ' more benefit than last year, and the 'I year before. The fact that weather A conditions have made everything J almost a month later this year, will mean that many gardens will be $ planted, cultivated and harvested in IV late summer and fall. One of the r rulings of the federal relief admin-1 tratlon this year Is that every fam-1 $i lly on relief shall plant, cultivate and harvest a subsistence garden In 4 the effort to cut down the amount 4 of food commodities that Uncle 'k Sam lias been called upon to fur J nish. A Eastern Oregon counties also arc $ recording a large number of gar t dens planted, including Baker, Hood jl River, Jefferson, Lake, Malheur, (9 Umatilla, Union and Wasco, i One of the largest tracts on which 3 many families of Multnomah coun 'l ty will garner thousands of pounds . of foodstuffs this summer and fall 'l- is located on the dyke road border t, lng the Columbia river near 47th avenue, N. E., where scores of men $ whose families have been on the rc '' lief rolls have planted acres of corn 'A and other vegetables under the su pervision of John H. Look and are busy weeding and cultivating what promises to be one of the biggest of crops. On the share plan with the lessee, the heads of the families nd boys are getting credit of ap proximately 25 cenis an hour, which probably on the Harvest crops win amount to two or three times that figure in the retail market value of the nroduce harvested by the veter- $ ans' relief unit for the past two years. Beans, peas, beets, corn, po tatoes and other food necessities have been provided. Gardens have sprung up this year where trees and grass grew before and according to relief officials have proved one of the largest and most beneficial and worthwhile pro jects which the relief setup has worked out. PLUCK FOWLS BY WAX BATH Montreal (IP) The skin you will love to touch in future will be that of a dead chicken. For science has evolved a new method of plucking which leaves a chickens sktn as smooin as i baby's chin. The secret lies in glv ing the birds a "wax bath." The new process was demon strated to Montreal poultry dealers by Dr. N. H. Grance rt" the National Research Council of Canada. Armed with a couple of galvanized Iron tanks and 30 pounds of special ly prepared wax. Dr. Grace showed the audience plucking that was plucking. While several hundred dealers watched, he dipped a roughly dress. ed chicken into a special liquid wax at a temperature ranging between 125 and 130 degrees, pulled It out, let it cool off, and then scraped off the wax. The fowl dealers examined the finished product n wonder. Not a vesige of hair or feather could be found, and the skin nas as smooth as a healthy schoolgirls.

PRINCE PROVED INTERESTING TO LT. HERNANDEZ London (IP) The most interest ing event during his trip to Europe, according to Lieutenant Hernandez, of the Chilean Carabinieros, was his visit to St. James palace for an audience with the Prince of Wales. When the Prince visited South America in 1931, Lieutenant Her nandez was assigned to guard him when he reached the Bolivia-Chile border. The Prince was struck by Hernandez's knowledge of English, which is exceptionally good. Her nandez, on the other hand, greatly admired the Prince's knowledge of Spanish, which he had acquired purposely before he left for South America, At Saint James palace, the Prince chatted with the lieu tenant for ten minutes In English, then switched to Spanish, which, said Hernandez, he spoke remark ably well. When Hernandez arrived at the palace he was ushered into a wait ing room two doors away from the Prince's study. The Prince, seated on a sofa, arose as soon as he saw the lieutenant and walked across the room to greet him. He smiled and extended his hand. The lieu tenant replied by presenting the compliments of his chief.

There followed a conversa tion on the subject of police prob lems all over the world upon which the Prince, said the lieutenant, dis played a remarkable inside knowl edge. Recalling his visit to Chile, the Prince spoke of well-known Chilean personalities he had met there, in cluding President Allessandrl and Finance Minister Ross. He spoke of the improvement in Chile's econ omic situation, which, said Hernan dez, he evidently had followed quite closely. He expressed the hope that he would be able to return to Chile at some time. E Reno, Nev. (LP) A fire bell, con tainlng $500 In gold bullion and "trade dollars" was found among dusty relics in a local library build ing. The bell originally btlonged to No. 6 company of the Virginia City vol untcer fire department and was cast in 1878 after another had been cracked in a lusty Fourth of July celebration. After its removal from Virginia City with the collapse of the mining boom there, the bell was purchased for H by George Wingfield, former Nevada capitalist, who later gave tt to H. J. Gosse when the latter agreed to buy "drinks for the house" at a local bar. Gosse gave the bell to the Ne vada Historical society. clear heads call for heat.

(tP) Mr. and Mrs. William Pirk of Buffalo, have start ed a court fight for custody of their son, Norman, who is doomed to a slow death from an incurable dis ease. The boy is afflicted with a disease known as progressive muscular dis- tophy. Norman never has attended sc hool and ca nn ot re ad or wr i te He gives the Impression of being a bright young baby Instead of a boy almost in his 'teens. The dis ease renders muscles in the body useless, starting with the legs and gradually working upwards until the heart Is affected and stops beating. Upon the recommendation of the Children s Aid society, a court order was issued committing the youth to a state institution. Now, how ever, Mr. and Mrs. Pirk Insist that if the youth is doomed to die they want him to be with them for the remaining years of his life. They have retained counsel to fight the case in court. A hearing has been set before Supreme Court Justice Clinton T. Horton. The Children's Aid society claims that the youth would receive care and comfort unavailable in his par ents' home. The Pirks, however, insist that the boy Is as happy at home as he can be with his physi ml ailment and should not be de CALVERT COOLS . . . it's the whiskey clear heads call for . . . the enjoyed in gentlemanly moderation, tomorrow with a smile.

He has become one of the most fam- our dramatists in tne country within the past few years. "Shakespeare's tempestuous march through the Soviet Union," la how one Soviet writer describes hi! present vogue. The sweep of this movement can be judged from the amount of Sakespcrian drama now being shown in various cities throughout the country. In Moscow the Kamerny theater Is showing "Anthony and Cleopat ra." the Theater of the Revolu tion ts producing "Romeo and Jti' -iet." and by its production of "King Lear" the Moscow Jewish theater has won both the praise of critics prived of his mother's love and at tention during the remaining years of his life. Unless Norman is a menace to society, it seems to me the parents should have the deciding vote, and they want to keep their child with them until he dies, the Pirks at torney said. Although not affluent, the Pirks have a sufficient income to assure the boy a comfortable existence, the attorney announced TRAVELERS !

"Richard the Third" Is on the program of the Leningrad theater of the Drama, and the Leningrad Comedy theater Is putting on "The Taming of the Shrew.' "Hamlet" has been produced In the Uzbek language In Tashkent and in the Turkoman language In Baku. The Rustavelll theater in Tiflis is preparing "Julius Caesar" in the Georgian language. Dramas neglected by western pro ducers are also attracting the at tention of Soviet directors. Thus Alexander Dicky, the famous Mos cow director, is preparing a pro duction of "Timon of Athens." In writing about the works of Shakespeare, Soviet critics say that he was slow to take hold In Russia because producers shied at adopt ing classical pieces in that they might be considered too "bourgeois' or not In keeping with the new Soviet tradition of progress.

While both countries were on the gold standard, smuggling was mostly confined to tobacco. Since tobacco Is under state monopoly in France and not in Belgium, it was a very profitable business. Now that 100 French francs can purchase 185 Belgian francs of mer chandise instead of 135 as in prede valuatlon days, the business of smuggling has been extended to include any merchandise that can be easily transported across the border.

With the ma jority of them confined to highways and fixed posts, there remains less than two men per kilometer to watch against Illegal entry of goods. Most of the smuggling Is done under cover at night. While some goods are carried ovei on the per son, the great percentage is smug gled over in high-powered trucks. The customary practice is to keep the customs agents occupied while trucks dash over the frontier roads at high speeds or shently at some unguarded spot. To cope against night smuggling several precautions are taken. The highways are barred while police watch dogs are employed for steal thy crossing as agents cannot be everwhere at the same time. The smugglers feared the uogs far more than the agents but oi late, the dogs have been fighting a losing battle against trucks constructed like tanks.
