decision to open up the drainage
ditch which runs norm irom mo

CALLS HUSBAND
CHEFFY-WEFFY
New York, Dec. 21 (P) Lady Cav
endish, the former Adele Astaire,
arrived today from London, where
she has been for four years, and an
nounced that she calls her husband
"Chcffy-Weffy."
The sister and one-time dancing
partner of Fred Astaire also said
she feeds her husband raw cabbage,
"for his liver condition."
Lord Cavondlsh-n of the Duke
and Duchess of Devonshire accom
panied his wife from London and
heard these disclosures with smiling
approval.
The former dancer said they had
come to visit her brother, but that
she would not appear with Astaire
In motion pictures.
"I'm much too happy and much
too lazy even to consider that," she
said. "The same thing goes for the
stage and I don't miss dancing.
She laughingly denied that she
and Lord Cavendish have a castle
in Ireland with 200 rooms and one
bath.
"Since that report got out, we've
received 1,000.000 letters asking us
what we do Saturday night," she
said.
Miss Astaire married Lord Caven
dish four years ago.
Despite her surface gaiety, she
seemed saddened by the loss of their
three children, who died at birth.
She was muffled in furs, wore a
scoop-brim beret, a dress made by
a smart French couturlor, ana per
fume that costs pounds an ounce
After ten days in New York, she
and Lord Cavendish will go to the
west coast. They will return to Lon
don In two or three months.

OREGON TRAIL
WINS APPROVAL
Relocation of the Old Oregon
Trail In East Court street in Pen,
dleton and construction of an over.
head viaduct over the railroad lines
were approved by the public utilities
commissioner In an order Issued to

traffic Is required to cross not only
the Northern Pacific main line track
to Spokane, but also the Union
Pacific line and the Walla Walla
branch line, within 70 feet of each
other.
The total cost of the overhead
viaduct would be $250,000, of which
about $180,000 would come from the
bureau of public roads for climlna
tlon of crossings.
McColloch's order was conditioned
upon the following provisions:
"The city of Pendleton to provide
for legally closing to all traffic at
grade that portion of Court street
occupied by Union Pacific rail
road crossing.
"State highway commission to
construct an underground passage
for pedestrians under said track.

partment said last night. However,
it is Van Patten's tentative inten
tion to have, If the commission is
agreeable, the shops necessary for
the reservoir and the filter system
located over one unit of the reser
voir. The dimensions of the reservoir,
according to plans completed by

BEND ROBBERS
TRACKED DOWN
Bend, Or., Dec. 21 (LP) Two men
tracked by officers for 48 hours
through the high desert country
east of Bend were captured on Bear
creek and are being held in jail at
Prineville on robbery charges, ac
cording to word received here this
morning. Officers reported the men
gave the names of Gordon Hale and
Delbert Shaw.
The men were wanted for ques
tioning in connection with the rob
bery of Joe Garske, Dry lake
rancher.
Wednesday morning, Garske was
robbed of about $40 by three men
who tied him in his own bed with
rope taken from a well, fled in Gar
ske's car, taking his rifle and am
munition. The car ran out of gas
near Brothers and was abandoned,
One of the trio, found wandering in
the sage brush, was brought to Bend
with a few hours, but the other
headed into the hills.
With the temperature near the
zero mark each night, officer1
tracked the pair into the Bear creek
area and closed in from both sides,
Realizing they were trapped, the
men had hidden Garske 's rifle
about two miles from where they
surrendered. The gun was found by
the officers.
The boy held here gave his name
as "Swede Pile, but has since ad
mitted he is Marcellis John Blanch

LEAP TO DEATH
CALLED SUICIDE
San Francisco, Dec. 21 (P) Olga
Steck's 12-story death plunge was a
closed chapter in police records to-
orny.
A coroner's jury found the former
Follies star came to her death by
'suicide" and officially ended what
for a brief time police suspected
might have been foul play.
The Jury heard testimony from
Thomas L. Matkins, middle-aged
bond salesman and once Miss
Steck's husband, and Everett E.
Saxe, widower of the one-time stage
beauty, and decided she came to her
death "by jumping with suicidal In
tent."
Matkins explained he quarreled
with Miss Steck when she assertedly
demanded $250 for a trip to New
York to stage a come-back and he
refused. Then she insisted on stay
ing with him over-night, he said,
and he proceeded to pack a grip.
The next thing he knew, he testi
fied, Miss Steck "swished" past him
and dived out the window. Panicky,
he ran to the home of friends. He
said he feared the adverse publicity
and the effect on his two sons.
Acrimoniously. Saxe examined
Matkins in an effort to disprove the
suicide theory but was halted by po
lice inspector George Engler who
said the questioning was "a waste
of time."
Saxe testified his wife "abhorred"
the mention of suicide and "liked life
too well for that."
Miss Steck, 41, was a night club
singer.

The excavation will remove an
estimated 43,000 cubic yards of earth
Contract for excavation will be let
by bids. It Is said there is no equip
ment locally owned elaborate
enough to handle the job and bids
are looked for from outside cities.
The reinforced concrete construc
tion of the reservoir will be in sec
tion with expansion joints at three
foot intervals. Bids will be adver
tised for as soon as the city council
approves the $200,000 bonds recom
mended in the special committee re
port and provided for in an ordi
nance bill introduced last Monday
night. Passage of the bill by suspen
sion of rules was blocked by Alder'
man E. B. Perrine who thought no
reservoir would be necessary if the
city eot mountain water.
The reservoir location is suitable
to water supply from any source.
Should the Willamette river be cho
sen as the source it is probable the
filter plant will be located across
John street just east of the reser
voir. The water commission at its meet
ing last night decided to take up
for consideration a request from
' Charles Vick, promoter, of an addi
tion on Garden road 'just outside
the city, for a 2000-foot extension of
a six-inch main. Under the rules of
the commission extensions outside
the city are permissable if the an
nual revenue from them amounts to
12 per cent or more of construction
cost.
The commission decided to hav;
an audit of its accounts as of De
cember 31.
Mayor V. E. Kuhn, Alderman
Walter Fuhrcr and Merrill D. Ohl-
ing and Manager Van Patten yes
terday made a trip of inspection to
possible water sources now being
considered. The North Santiam was
inspected above Stayton and in the
Gates district and the Little North
Fork above Mehama.
Van Patten told the members of
the commission last night that a
new billing machine will be in the
office between Christmas and New
Year's. It will not be the one that
has been ordered, but a similar one
that is to be demonstrated before
the other arrives. At present the
city's water billing is being done in
the Oregon -Washington Water Ser
vice company's offices at Vancouver,
Wash.

Fremont, Neb., Dec. 21 m Mid
land college art students merely
turned an old fashioned wringer in
to a new style wrinkle today and
began wringing out the old year
greeting cards.
Anna Kreinheder, art instructor,
said the class used the old clothes

ITALIAN ARMY
ORDERED TO
RESUME WAR
(Continued Irom page 1)
secretary, told an audience of con
servative party workers:
"I trust the nations of the league
will show that they are prepared
to make themselves resist any at
tack which may be made on any
one of their number."
Thus were the lines drawn taut
for a resumption of the explosive
filled economic battle between the
League of Nations, under British
leadership, and Italy over the ques
tion of aggression in east Africa.
The headlined declarations in
Rome and London were an after
math to the failure of the French
and British attempts to bring peace
to the Italian and Ethiopian arms
with a plan providing immense con
cessions to Mussolini.
In token of Premier Mussolini's
determination to defy the league
which means Great Britain in par
ticularthe fascist grand council
issued a communique after a meet
ing with II Duce asserting Italy is
confident of victory. Mussolini dis
patched 4,000 additional militiamen
and 800 workmen to east Africa.
Reports meanwhile were current
in London-that Britain was pre
paring to sound out other nations,
as well as those bordering on the
Mediterranean, as to how they were
prepared to support sanctions. Po
litical sources said the government
was not willing to press at Geneva
for imposition of further sanctions
until it was assured this policy had
the support of other league mem
bers. Diplomatic sources in Paris said
the. British move to shape a league
police force to support sanctions, if
necessary, may be launched at a
special session of the league council
about January 10. France, it was
added, was ready to help Britain.

OREGON SAFETY ,
CAMPAIGN PAYS
FIGURES SHOW
Oregon's conformance with ths
approved practices for elimination of '
highway accidents has resulted In
placing this state second on the list
of states In the percentage of de
crease in motor vehicle fatalities, ac
cording to the report of R. H. Bal
dock, state highway engineer, who
has just returned from the annual
meeting of tho American Association
of State Highway Officials at Miami,
Bla.
Highway safety and means of at
taining it were the principal topics
discussed in various papers read be
fore the meeting, Baldock said, list
ing the following as outstanding dis
cussions: 1. proper laws and ordinances and
strict enforcement; 2. The building
of pedestrian footpaths adjacent to
towns and cities; 3. The elemlnatloq. 1
of the hazard of narrow pavements,
slippery pavements, sharp curves,
steep grades and impaired vertical
and horizontal sight distances; 4.
Strict requirements in the issuance
of drivers' licenses; 5. Frequent In
spections by police of motor vehicles,
to the end that faulty and Improper
equipment be prohibited the use of
the highways and streets; 6. A cam
paign of education by leaders of
public leaders of public -ARAHT
public opinion In each of the states;
7. A setup of a voluntary advisory
committee In each state to carry on
an effective highway safety cam?
paign of education, this committee
to consist of a representative of the
highway department, state police,
motor associations, state board of
higher education, board of county
commissioners and league of cities.
"Many a driver has been literally
whisked from a curve and dashed
Into eternity by an unseen hand,"
said Baldock. "Tills Is due to the .
powerful effect of centrifugal accel-
eration which is minimized at reas- '
onable speeds by the use of the spi
ral or transition curve, which curve
has been used for many years in
railroad building. Oregon appears to
be the first state to adopt this inno
vation in highway design, which ac
tion should eliminate many a death
trap for the unwary driver. The
Oregon state highway department
is continually striving to use the
most modern methods In highway
design, construction and mainten
ance to minimize accidents. Exam
ples are the non-skidalng of pave
ments, the reconstruction of heavy
traffic roads to eliminate dangerous
curves, the use of transition curves
to minimize centrifugal acceleration,
the painting of the yellow line down
the center of pavements, the use of
flagmen on construction, etc."
