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

For science has evolved a new
method of plucking which leaves
a chickens sktn as smooin as i

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

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.

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. General

numerous questions concerning the
force. 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.

Reno, Nev. (LP) A fire bell, con

dusty relics in a local library build

The bell originally btlonged to No.

celebration.
After its removal from Virginia
City with the collapse of the mining
boom there, the bell was purchased

Nevada capitalist, who later gave tt

TO SECURE SON
DOOMED TO DIE
Buffalo. N. Y. (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

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

BIG HIT WITH
SOVIET FOLK
Moscow (LPJ-p-Shakespeare now

has become one of the most fam-
our dramatists in tne country

"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

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

FRANCE WAGES
STUBBORN FIGHT
ON SMUGGLERS
Paris (LPJ France has finally de
cided that something must be done
to wipe out smuggling from Belgium
which has assumed si.eh huge pro
portions ever since the fall of the
Belga in March.
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.
At the present timp there are

roughly 5,000 customs agents and
officers to stand guard along the
500-kilometer frontier. 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.
