EASTERN CLACKAMAS NEWS Phones Give W arning of Fire Damp in Mine Hundreds of Inventors have applied their brains to the mutter of finding a certain means of detecting fire damp, the cnuse of such a large proportion of mine disasters. So fur no com pletely reliable method has been found; hut It is believed that a devel opment of the latest Idea will solve the problem. Tills Idea consists In the use of a pair of telephones of a delicate kind one of which is placed In the upper galleries, where the air Is known to be pure, while the other Is fixed In the lower workings. Wires from each lead to a central Instrument. Reside each of the telephones Is a pitch-pipe Into which a current of air Is blown b.v a fan. The two pipes nre tnned to give exactly the same musi cal note. So long as all Is well only one note Is received and given out by the cen trnl telephone; but directly fire damp occurs the air supplied by the fan to the pipe In the lower workings be comes changed In quality and this al ters the note very slightly. That Is. the upper pipe, of course, remains unchanged, and the result Is thnt Instead of a single clear note the central Instrument emits a discordant noise which Immediately attracts the attention of the man In charge, warn Ing him that there Is fire damp In the lower gnllerles.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Positive Proof That Lover Was Untruthful They sat on the sofa, he and she The lights were tnrned low. They gazed Into each other's eyes with per feet contentment. He arranged his necktie for the twentieth time and queried, "Do you love me, Alice?” "Uh-huh, I think so.” “I knew you did—I love you too, Alice—you’re the only girl for me.” She, hcsltntlngly—Did you ever— love any other girl?” "No, Alice—you nre the first girl I ever loved, the only girl I ever will love.” “Oh, John, I knew It! I love you more than ever.” She flushed with pleasure, rnlsed her chin and looked nt him expectantly through long lashes. He took three cigars from his vest pocket, laid them on the table beside the sofa and started to take her In his nrms. She sobbed, "All men nre llnrs.” and wnlked majestically out of the room.— Iiehoboth Sunday Herald. BETTER COWS NEEDED TO SUPPLY CONSUMERS PROFESSIONAL CARDS. T"\K. W. W.

Ad- i The whole trend of the lumber market appears to be upward, judg ing from reports submitted by mills all over our country. Shipments from all sections are equaling production ,and in many cases are greatly in excess. Demund of building trades has been excep tionally large. There is no slackening of demand in sight for the last six months of the year, and price advances are predicted. The number of dairy cows in the United States is increasing, as well as the number of people, but not at .he same rate. In only two years out >f the last six has the dairy cow population increased in proportion co the increase in human population. The United States Department of Agriculture has just completed a study of the utilization of milk, in which it is shown that slightly more NORTHWEST APPLE TRADE than 1,000 pounds of milk per cap ita is used annually in one form or Apple exports for 1924 were $24,- another.

Í iiS H H H K a i PLANNING SAVES MONEY NO, COMPANY'S NOT COMING I F you drop a dish cloth, company won’ t come, save as a matter of coincidence. Popular superstitions like this are losing ground; so is the superstition that there is something mysteriously better about "eastern” motor lubricants, merely because they cost more and are made in the east. The Right Way to Judge Motor Oils More than ever, motorists are discovering that the test of an oil is not where but how it is made, and how it lubricates. That’s why Zerolene—refined from se lected western naphthenic base crudes—is today suc cessfully lubricating more cars in the Pacific Coast states than any other oil made. An Exclusive Process—What it Does Lubricating qualities have never been more carefully or successfully preserved than by the processes used at Standard Oil Company refineries for the refining of Zerolene:—the Zerolene high-vacuum process, the Zero lene process of filtration through 40 tons of Florida F u l ler’s Earth, the refineries’ 15 positive checks for quality! What Zerolene Will Do For Y our Car Zerolene will give your car better lubrication: it increases the gasoline mileage, reduces carbon-removal and maintenance costs and lengthens the life of any engine in which it is used. W hy pay tribute to a super stition? Insist on Zerolene. Always ask for Zerolene by name. A series of independent and impartial reports show ing the experience of large users with Zerolene motor oil has been collected in our booklet. "W h y Pay Tribute to a Superstition?" Ask any Standard Oil Company rep resentative or Zerolene dealer for a copy. Insist on Zerolene — even if it does cost less STANDARD OIL COMPANY FIRE INSURANCE.

PAYROLLS 5XPAND WITH BIG LUMBER PRODUCTION In the Solar Plexus The late John S. Sargent, the fa mous painter, who was found dead In bed with a book at his side, hated above all things the best-seller type of novel and the best-seller type of novelist. A best-seller novelist, visiting Mr. Sargent's Tlte street studio, once said: "Well, old man, you ain't the only American with an International rep. I guess tnebbe you heard about the hit toy Inst book’s tnnkln'. She’s been translated Into French, German, Ital ian and Japanese." "Why don't you get somebody," said Air. Sargent, “to translate It Into Eng lish?” — Pittsburgh Chronicle-Tele- crrojj.h. THURSDAY, ZEROLENE Most fartn women try to stretch their housekeeping dollars as far as possible, but their skill in this art varies widely. This is shown by cost of living studies made by the De partment of Agriculture. Many farm families fail to get the quantity of vegetables and fruits that could be had from the farm at low cost in comparison with the market prices of these products. Less than one-half of the total amount of food products consumed by 100 farm families in New Lon don, Conn., in 1923 was furnished by the farms. The remainder was pro vided by direct purchase. Similar high percentages of purchased as compared with farm-grown table sup plies have been recorded in other lo calities. Farm families, it is de clared, could live more cheaply were their meals better planned, and pro vided to a greater extent from the farm and the garden. Savings are often possible, says the department, through more effi cient use of fuel and household sup plies. Sometimes waste in the use of the automobile and excessive auto operation costs can be lessened. Ex penditures for education and “ad vancement" are desirable, but money for these purposes should not be spent lavishly without due consid eration merely because the purpose is regarded as educational or spir itual. One way of stretching the dollar is by setting up a definite goal for family improvement. Failure to plan often means that vital needs, such as those for insurance, health and recreation, can not be met. When all members of the farm family un derstand where the family income goes and co-operate in attaining a definite goal in family living, a given amount of money will go much further. In the Connecticut study the av erage annual expenditure of 110 families was found to be $1.492,com pared with $1,520 for 183 families in Ohio, $1.669 for 472 families in Iowa, and $1,558 for 187 families in Alabama. Only 4.6 per cent of he Connecticut farm homes studied were completely modern. Expendi ture for advancement averaged $81 per family, or 5.4 per cent of the to tal value of goods consumed. This proportion was lower than that of the families in Alabama and Iowa, but slightly higher than that of the families in Ohio. !“S C I E N C E F O E S E R V I C f Through the Experiment Station, the Extension Service and Reei i J Instruction Oregon Agricultural College Saves the Farms, the Homes and the Industries of Oi It offers a college education in Agriculture, Commerce, Engineering,! estry, Home Economics, Mines, Pharmacy, Vocational Education, (| ical Engineering, Military Science and Tactics.
