Twelve
Company Gives
$2500 for OSC
Scholarships
A gift of $2500 In cash to provide
35 (100 scholarships for entering
freshmen in agriculture has Just
been granted to Oregon State col
lege by Sears-Roebuck and com
pany, according to William A.
Schoenfeld, dean and director of
agriculture.
The scholarships will be handled
on much the same basis as others
sponsored by this same company In
more than 30 states. The Idea was
started In the southern states by
General B. E. Wood, former presi
dent and now chairman of the
board, as a means of helping land
grant colleges develop agricultural
leadership among boys otherwise
unable to attend college.
The recipients of the scholarships
are to be named at large through
the state by an O. S. C. committee
which will set up its own basis of
selection. The experience In other
states has been that most of tha
boys chosen are those who have ex
celled In 4-H club and Future
Farmer activities, although mem
bership In either of these organiza
tions is not In any wise a require
ment, It was pointed out.
The $100 cash grant In this state
will practically cover the year's
fees at Oregon State. It amounts
to considerably more than a state
board scholarship.
Prunes May Take
Place of Liver
Oregon's surplus prunes may find
a new market because of the high
price of liver, the department of
agriculture said today.
Canners of dog food have found
liver is getting too high, so they
think they might use prunes In the
food instead.

New Drug May
Save Sergeant
Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 21 (P Be
cause of a new drug, Don Davies, 31
year old national guard sergeant ac
cidentally stabbed In the face with
a bayonet, is probably going to re
cover from an infection that appear
ed hopelessly fatal, Dr. George A.
Moosey, Tacoma physician, said
Tuesday.
Davies, a Tacoma policeman, Is
suffering streptlcocclc and pneu
mococclc meningitis resulting from
the unusual stabbing. Dr. Moosey
said.
"Yesterday I didn't give Davies
one chance in a million of pulling
through," the young doctor said.
"Today I think the chances are 100
to one that he'll recover."
He credits the new drug, intraven
ous salt of sulfapvrldlne, with the
unbelievable change in Davies con
dition.
"The drug is new and we don't
know a great deal about it," Dr.
Moosey said. "I don't think it has
ever been used on the Pacific coast
before. We are Injecting it Into
Davies bloodstream every four
hours."
Davies was stabbed through the
right cheek last Tuesday at Tacoma
armory when another guardsman, a
bayonet attached to his rifle, came
through a swinging door Just as
Davies moved toward it.
Dr. Moosey said the blade passed
through Davies' cheek just below the
right eyeball and the bayonet tip
pierced the first layer of the guards
man's brain, starting an Infection
The wound was not considered
serious until last Saturday when it
became highly Inflamed and Davies'
temperature shot up. He was taken
to Tacoma General hospital in a
critical condition.

Salem, Oregon
Commission
Urged to Act
On Detroit Dam
With the purpose of preventing a
threatened delay in construction of
the road between Niagara and De
troit tha board of directors of the
Salem Chamber of Commerce yes
terday afternoon, at a specially
called meeting, ordered a letter sent
to the state fish commission, ask
ing it Immediately to approve or
disapprove construction of the North
San t lam flood control dam below
Detroit.
The board was informed that the
United States army engineers and
the federal forest service were re
fusing to act in accordance with a
cooperative agreement for relocation
of the North Santiam highway un
til the llsh commission has given
Its consent to construction of the
dam. Construction of the road was
scheduled to start this spring un
der the cooperative agreement. The
road would eliminate eight miles
of the 12 miles of unimproved road
between Niagara and Detroit.
The chamber board's action was
based on a report submitted to
E. H. Blngenheimer, chamber pre
sident, by the organization's high
way committee Harry N. Grain,
Paul B. Wallace and Douglas Mc
Kay. The report was prepared by
the committee after a conference
with R. H. Kipp, executive secre
tary of the Willamette basin com
mission. The forest service engineers will
not spend forest road money on
improvement of the road until it is
determined whether the flood con
trol dam Is to be built west of De
troit. The army engineers refuse to
proceed under the cooperative
agreement until assured that the
dam can be built, its building be
ing contingent on consent of the
fish commission.
