Athena Bell & Gray Phone 593 Two Auto Truck Drays Always At Your Service City and Country Hauling ICE Round-Up from the pen of John W. Kelley, Oregonian staff writer, fol lows: Like a circus, the Round-Up has a distinctive odor. At the circus it is the tang of animals in the mena gerie; at the Round-Up it is the aroma of fried onions , and ham burger. There are seemingly miles of hamburger joints stretching end lessly from Main street to Happy canyon and the show grounds. Autos are parked in streets, in yards any where. Visitors have been camping on lawns, on the playgrounds of school houses and every home is sheltering strangers. Postcards of cowboys being thrown or bulldogging are sold by the thou sand as souvenirs. It matters not when the pictures were taken the same spills are a regular occurrence and, like history, repeat themselves. There is a demand for pictures of Bonnie McCarroll, whose frail body was rolled on by her vicious mount Thursday, and who is still in a como tose state at St. Anthony's hospital. Every hour a report spreads that the cowgirl has died. Bonnie intended it as a last ride. She planned to retire to her home at Boise. In the "westward ho!" parade are covered wagons, stage coaches, In dians, tribes of them, each buck and sminw makinsr a brave showincr of what can be accomplished with beads, burkskm, eagle feathers, eiK teetn, porcupine quills and sea shells. On this conglomeration of colors shone the morning sun. It was a glorious sight., Sometime an enter prising producer will make a techni color film of the Indian pageant at the Round-Up and his fortune will be assured. ' In the stables and Indian village the last of $7000 worth of hay was disappearing. There was much fresh meat in the tepees, for steers injured in the arena were disposed of in this potlatch fashion. The boss of each tepee received $5. It is the last time the ornamental trappings will be worn until next year. Tomorrow most of the natives will "go white man" and sport around in their motor cars, but today they live as their ancestors did. However, the ancient Cayuses, Walla Wallas, Uma- tillas, Yakimas and Klickitats, suu cling tothe moccasin, shawl and blan ket, even though they ride in a six- cylinder car. Around the stalls the riders, own ers of the strings of horses and the stable boys early in the day could be found reviewing the won and lost races and planning for the final events. Where the cowpokes gather thev sneculate on the buckers and steers they are to meet, examine their lariats and equipment. As for the bill of the last day, it was un to the mark, a bit more speedy than preceding days and yet not so fast as the Kound-up stanaara, this because of the strong wind and swirls of dust, all presaging a soak ing rain. The hnrkinfl- was verv Kood. which intflrnretfld means that the riders had a tough time remaining in the Faddle, an achievement which many failed to accomplish, and there were the in evitable narrow escapes as the buck- aroo "faw down and go boom." The hoof of a horse is a mighty dan gerous weapon. It was in the buck incr roninir and bulldogging that the championship titles hung in the bal ance and the "breaks," good and uaa, had everything to do with the ulti mate scoring of points. So, having developed a brand new flock of champions of cowlanJ, the 20th annual Round-Up is done. Spark Plug Trouble To Be Investigated Jiy tne Bureau ot standards Washington. How different kinds of sparks affect ignition is being studied by the bureau ot stanuaras tn lnnm whpther the life and effective ness of spark plugs can be extended. If a "lean" spark does the work for which engineers think a "fat" spark is required, it would mean a greater preservation of the porcelain and metals in the plug and add to its life. M. F. Teters of the bureau of stan dards research staff has set out to solve the problem. He has built a test engine which makes possible con trol of the known variables. While many motorists boast that they havent changed their spark plugs in 10 years, the airplane pilot is not so fortunate. Peters says that the life of spark plugs in aircraft engines is no more than 150 hours. Tlanes and dirigibles cruising in ex cess of that time may run afoul of ignition trouble, and it U important that the life of plugs under severe conditions be lengthened. The bureau of standards experts say, however, that as long as a plug fires, there Is no perceptible loss of power or waste of fuel But if the insulator becomes car bon crusted and the electrodj pitted, it is apt to foul and fail to .Ire. Perfection of "hot" and "cold" plugs, making possible use of a dif ferent plug for high compression en than that recommended for an engine under less serious Btrain, is held an important development. Motors which develop comparative ly little heat use a "hot" plug to best advantage that is, a plug with a long insulator projection, which makes its cooling rate Blower.
