I believe, however, that we have not given enough consideration to the hands and mouth as a part of infection, nor have we sufficiently em phasised the possible in f activity o f the earlieat stages o f the disease.” The public health service expects to continue the experiments and the 100 heroes o f the “ flu squad” will again and again expose themselves to the fatal epidemic with the hope that the veil may be lifted and humanity made safe from it. Glrls Making Good “ Girls are making good as detec tives among the dairy herds o f Ore gon,” says E. L. W estover, field dairy man o f O. A.

So the attorneys far th* home in teracts chotus in unison that no rati fication o f an amendment to th* con stitution o f th# United States can be valid until he people o f th* state have voted to approve the legislative rati fication. That doesn’t follow in any avant. The people may not and pro bably do not want to vote. They may be and probably are entirely satisfied with the action o f th* legislatures. Th* bootlegger is deserving o f just Nevertheless th* boos* crowd will as much respect as tbs snake or the shout themselves hoars* that no rati Hun. fication can be legal until th* people have voted. A s a matter o f fact the provision o f th* federal constitution in regard to ratification would hold over anything to th* contrary. No matter what con trary provisions there m ight be in any state constiution they would be entire ly nugatory—as futil* as th* pope’s bull against th* comet. “ Ultra vires” is what any lawyer worth his salt would say o f a state statute contra vening a provision o f the federal con stitution or standing in tho way o f its enforcement. In trying to put any strings on the nation it was fully de cided fifty year* ago that th* states were acting beyond their powers. But, o f course, there is no provision in any state constitution that th* ra tification o f an amendment to the fed eral constitution by the state legisla ture shall or can be submitted to a vote o f the people before it shall be come effective. The men who wrote those referendum amendments to the •tot# constituants were not foots •nough to think any state could tell Uncle 8cm where to head In. The whole rumpus is supremely • ill/i nor do wo imagine that it will delay for a day the procl-imation o f the adoption o f the federal amend ment. King Boose is dead. His obsequiss need not be postponed. Representative Jones o f Lincoln and Polk counties has introduced a bill at Salem appropriating $2,600,- °00 for a Roosevelt coast military highway to extend through Clatsop, Tincoln, Lane, Douglas, Coo* and Curry counties to the California line, ■being contingent on th* federal gov- errment appropriating a like amount and providing for floating bonds for th* project.

The oversubscription was 24.27 per cent. These figures have just bean received from the State Headquarters. The official compila tions do not show the quote o f non banking centers.

Contractors generally will be pledged to give returned soldiers preference. “ By placing the expenditure o f th* funds in ths hands o f the Highway Commission, they will be able to de termine whether the time is oppor tune to press construction, both for public welfare and from an economic standpoint or whether to allow some o f It to go later. “ Senator I. 8.

W ewffifcnhk MOUNTAIN STATES POWER COMPANY Candlefish Are Good Sardines. T hrift in the Legislature State Capitol, Salem, Ore., Jan. 21. — (Special to The Sentinel.)—T. J. Thrift, member o f the house from Co quille, is living true to his name and is now drawing compensation on in juries to one hand received in an ac cident at his home. The question na turally arose as to whether or not he could continue to draw tills compensa tion while the state was paying him the munificent salary o f $8 a day for his services as a legislator. The at torney general has ruled that he can draw his income from both sources. Iff- T hrift is now wondering if th* ac cident commission will taka car* of injurie* sustained while serving in the hslls o f the legislature, evidently an ticipating that there is going’ to be sopie crush at th* cloee o f th* session. Mr. T hrift says that he is going to ■ay little until ha gets onto the ropes —beeidee that is on* way o f getting a reputation for g n a t wisdom. It is discovered that candlefish put up in tomato catsup are put on ths market as sardines. There is no ob jection as they are every bit as good. The Coquffle river has millions o f candlefish in the F all; they come in great schools and could be easily caught in quantities to supply a can nery for a short period each year,— Bandon World.
