French ofleera who have inspected the beginnings of our aviation work express themselves as much pleased with our thorough system of inspec tion and repairs. It has been the ex perience of the French aviation schools that several beginners are killed each week in practice flying. Our begin ners now" are having very few acci dents. The secret of safety Is a very high rrade of mechanical work. All de ponds on the engine. As long as that works, the aviator with any decent control is safe. When the engine gives way, he is gone. Controlling a plane Is of course more difficult than running an automobile, as the aviator must learn to deal with air currents. But a pupil after 16 hours with an Instructor is commonly allowed to go up alone. After five hours boIo flights, he then may get his certificate admit ting him to the aerial reserve. This is not much longer than It takes many people to learn to run an automobile. The main thing is to make an avia tor a good mechanician. He must be taught to take down and reassemble his engine. He should not have to spend bis own time and energy doing repair work. But he will have to do some hasty emergency work on forced landings away from his hangers. Also he needs to know whether the repair men are doing the job right or not Hb must be able to assure himself from personal Inspection that the ma chine Is right before he attempts a flight. Also the report comes from France that too little care Is taken over there in teaching men to land skillfully. A man may get a fatal fall from landing In a tree 25 feet high, as well as from a drop of 10,000 feet. If he learns how to Judge landing places from above, and how to put his machine right where he wants it, he will avoid many perils. UNCLE SAM'S SAVING STAMPS. The government scheme to raise money to by war savings stamps and thrift cards ought to stop some money that now goes to waste. It will not merely buy uniforms for a good many soldier boys, but some people will acquire the thrift habit who formerly could not aave a dollar. There are many persons having fair ly good incomes who can never keep money on hand for regular bank de posits. When the roll in the bureau drawer gets up- to 10 or 20 dollars, they feel rich. Then something comes to their mind that they want. They unroll their wad and their savings be gin to melt away. The eonsol them selves with the idea that next quar ter they will do better. BBy that time new and unforeseen uses for money have turned up. These people might easily spare a dollar a week though they could never save 50 a year In lumps. A small sum each week means simply less for shows or tobacco or candy or other uperflutttes and they don't feel It. Saving is amatter of habit and If not begun early in lite It comes hard. The boy who becomes used to salting away a dime or a quarter weekly out ox his. little earnings, doesn't feel comfortable when he falls to do it. The sense of a little capital growing all the time gives him more satisfac tion than the pleasures the money would give him.. Then when he grows up, he does it easily, and as earnings increase, his savings Increase also. The large success the banks have had with their Christmas and vaca tion clubs illustrates how people can acquire the habit. Now the govern ment proposes to make it easier than ever. Tou have not got to hoard up a large roll of money, but simply buy one or more 25 cent savings stamps Jack Hooper's Barber Shop W. M. WERT, PROP. Halrcuttlng Our Sepcialty.

In Germany it Is said that SO per cent of the industries of the country are concentrated on war work. This includes of course not merely muni tion work but food production. In our country the industries that sup ply the people with luxuries are going about as usual. Henry Ford has nooiy shown the way in offering the ser vices of hiB plant for war work, and shutting down the production of pleas ure cars. His example should be fol- lowedby many others. Our people can go without some of their candy and their pleasure veni cles and the frills and fripperies of life, but they cann not go without success in this war.. It Is going to be a long war, and we should set our teeth and set aside forms of work that simply drag and hinder. It seems a shame that there Is any difficulty in getting the necessary number of shipbuilding mechanics. Here 1b the very heart of our war work. We are going to send a great army to France, and they must be well fed and we must supply the usual amount of food and munitions to our allies. The submarines are sinking ships rapidly, and the supply of ton nage is already too short. Munitions are waiting on the docks of the Atlan tic ports for ships to come and take them. Meanwhile In the shipyards the cry for help goes up. Men are striking in some of them. While the work draks, our boys will die for lack of the full supply of munitions. Every man who has ever had expe rience In a Bhip yard should volunteer his services to the government at this criEib. Many other mechanics with general skill at tools could be used. Employers should be glad to let such men go and should promise to take them back to the old Job when the war is over. It seems the height of folly to let this most essential part of our war work drag. It is up to any man who can help to offer the needed assistance at this crisis. BUFFLEHEADED BEDFELLOWS. "I like to lay my mind alongside of mind that knowB how to pull in harness." This President Wilson con fessed to the American Federation of Labor at its meeting in Buffalo. It Is curious that he seems to find no such minds except among Democrats. There are many excellent minds among Democrats. There are many excellent minds among the Republi cans of thiB country minds that are accustomed through wide experience to all sorts of team work, in double harness, tandem, and in a drove. Yet the President does not seek to lay his mind alongside any of these. He pre fers to try the inexperienced minds of men in his own party, men who oftentimes are absolutely unknown outside their own immediate locality, men who have accomplished little either by themselves or in concert with others. The Denman Incident is a case in point. Denman's mind was of little value, no matter who was his intellectual bedfellow; and after months of controversy and welt-nigh fatal delay in the most Important por tion of our constructive war pro gram, Denman's mind was released from official tutelage. Then Admiral Capp's mind was taken in under the covers, ouiy to be told after brief ox perience to get up and put its clothes on. And there are other examples, which will multiply as long ad the President lays his mind alongside o. none but Democratic minds. NOT NECESSARY BUT WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. Labor conscription to prevent interference with war work is regarded as unnec essary by Secretary of Labor Wilson in his annual report sent to congress today. Noting a "sudden and enormous In crease" in the number of labor dis putes with the beginning of war, the secretary blamed most labor lawless ness on employers who permit organ ization by their workmen only on the pain of dismissal. Secretary Wilson indorsed labor unions. But should labor conscription finally become nec essary, he declared In favor of mak ing such workers government em ployes, rather than compelling them to work "for private profit." "By simple and fair systems of col lective bargaining between the gov ernment, labor organizations and bus iness organizations," said Secretary Wilson, "all labor disputes prejudi cial to an effective prosecution of the war can be promptly eliminated. "Since war was declared, on Anrll 6, 1917, and up to October 25, the de partment of labor had assigned com missioners of conciliation In 521 new cases, made up of 281 strikes, 212 dis putes that threatened a suspension of work, and 28 lockouts. It has been successful In satisfactorily adjusting 323 of these; has been unable to ad just 43 ; has 104 caBea pending, a com paratively small number of which have reached the strike stage; and in (ji cases its commissioners found on their arrival that the matters in dis pute had been settled or that the plant was In operation and the former em ployes had secured work elsewhere. The Crown Willamette Paper com pany will absolutely refuse to listen to a proposal to arbitrate the paper mill atrlke, even though auch a proposal cornea from the federal mediation board, according to a fresh statement emenatlng from the office of A.

FIGHTS BURLESON'S ATTsTUDE ON LABOR WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 Organized labor Sunday night threw down the gauntlet to Postmaster General Burle son. In a statement lamed from the headquarters of the American Federa tion of Labor in this city, Samuel Gompers, president of the federation, served notice that any attempt on the part 01 Mr. uurieson 10 iorce lurouga congress his proposal to deny postal employes the right to organize will be bitterly fought. Mr. Gompers said: 'The American Federation of Labor will resist any effort made by Post master General Burleson to put into that the postal employes be denied the right to appeal to congress and the right to organize and affiliate with labor. "I oan see do danger of a strike of postal employes If they have free ac cess to congress and public opinion to secure the correction of their griev ances. But I can conceive of serious trouble arising if the Burleson Idea of repressing men and not giving them the opportunity to organize and to come In contact with their fellow workers. In a sincere desire to make better the lot of all groups of workers, is put Into operation. "To deny the right -of workers In our largest governmental agency to organize is to make a mockery of our faith in democracy. If autocracy Is harmful to the morals of our alien enemies abroad, than let us not intro duce a species of It into our largest federal institution by attempting to disfranchise industrially the army of postal workers. "The American Federation of Labor stands prepared to back up its posi tion of 1906, when It fought for the rights of the government employe. We differ from Mr. Burleson in his view that the anti-gag law has operated to buiid up organizations of employes that are a menace. We fear that the menace lies, not In the employers' or ganizations, but in the denial to citl effect his recommendation to congress zens of fundamental rights."

Nation Warned Hans Constitute Graver Danger Than Ever Before WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. In start Ungly frank fashion Secretary Baker's weekly war summary warned the na tion not to minimize the danger of the newly massed Teuton hordes on the west front Stripped of Its verbiage, the state ment amounted to notice ' that with the added forces Germany has drawn from the east front, she constitutes a graver danger than at any time in the last two and a half years. The Germans may even be able to achieve "some relative advantages," such as they did last week at Cam- brai, Baker added, through a tempor ary predominance of numerical force. After reviewing the British retire ment In the Cambral sector and pay ing tribute to the American engineer's valor In that fight, Baker warned America must speed up its military effort, '"prepared not only to fight, but to win," and be entirely united. "This German parrying thrust, the most successful blow aimed at the British during the last two and a half years, coming as It did immediately after the British victory in the same area, serves to emphasize the reviv ing strength of the Germans In the west,' Baker continued, "We must recognise plainly that the situation In the eastern theatre has brought about $ rTn' weW.jajmaBry eMort- The united nation change, in the strategic possibilities of Uk mflttattatsataflto hi the at ;G4aastt:tft' J Jaavla ortl ?teMaaa. dWisioaa hi the Ruaaiaa ana, by eon- . -.1- 4 women help the war.

Folowlng the receipt today of petitions carrying signatures of approximately 860 em ployes of the Oregon City paper mills and asking for militia to suppress a "campaign of frightfulness" which it is aliened is being conducted by the strikers, Governor Withycombe said that he would not comply with the request unless all other means of en forcing law and order should fail. "I will not call out the militia un less all other means of enforcing law and order should fail," said the exe cutive. "At present the mayor of Ore gon City and the sheriff are co-op erating with this office which has special agents on the scene under Captain Keller, who are maintaining order. I am hopeful that the media tion commission appointed by me will succeed in solving the difficulties be tween employes and employers. Pres ent reports are favorable and condi tions of quiet are now prevailing at the mills. In all, five petitions were received, and the language in all of them is Identical. After reciting that the em ployes of the mills struck on October 26, and the positions of the strikers have been satisfactorily filled by the mills, the petitions declare a "cam paign of frightfulness1 was inaugur ated by the strikers. "Bald strikers, realizing that they have lost their strike and that many of them cannot regain their positions, have started a campaign of frightful ness, which campaign the regular po lice and the sheriff's department, It seems, are unable to combat," read the petitions in part. Continuing they ask for the mili tia that the strikers, some of them de clared to be "nothing better than ban dits, be forced to remain on their premises if they do not care to seek employment." By Baker centratlng all available guns, muni tions and men In the theatre of opera tions in the west, has been able to mass a relatively greater force than she has ever been able to mobilize In France In the past. 1 "This explains the success which the enemy has been able to achieve in driving the British back from Cam bral. "It would not do for us to minimise its importance. The enemy realizes that he finds himself In a singularly fortunate position and he can be counted upon to take the utmost ad vantage of It. For a long time past he has been preparing plans for such an eventuality as would arise when Russia should enter upon negotiations , for a separate peace, which has been a I principal German objective ever since the battle of Tannenberg. We mus. expect that he did put these plana Into execution. Thus he may have at his disposition for a time a prepond erant numerical superiority In the west, he may even be able to achieve some relative advantages in the field, such as those recorded during the last week. "The magnitude of the task before us can be more fully realized when measured by the success which the enemy Is still able to gain. "It means that we must speed up must etssd squarely .behind our sol- 'far 'aerff ifl t th fVW- 0 ftfcuii- w mnas-preparer-to win." HIOH SCHOOL NOTie. The Teachers' Training class will continue their experiments as long as the bright pupils of the grades re tain their right minds.

We appreciate Mr. Kam- bergers services very much. The next pictures will be shown Saturday night December 16, and all are welcome. There will be no ad mission charge. Last Friday night the seventh of December the Basket Ball team and several rooters motored to Banks, where they played a game with a team of Banks boys. The Banks boys were defeated by a score of 29 to 28. There was some dispute about the score, Banks contending that their last basket which was thrown after the timekeeper's whistle had blown should have counted. This would have given the game to Banks, but the tlmekeper overruled the referee and awarded the game to Beaverton. ThlB is our second defeat of the Banks con tingent. Those making the cold, wet, muddy trip were Miss" Thelssen, Viv ian O'Connor, Roy Emmons, Walter Cary, delta Hendricks, Billy Berst, Francis Livermore,, "Wlnsom" Wllma Alton Emmons, Captain Eckstrom, Van Rodman, Tom Miller and wife. The Basket Ball team has joined the State Basket Ball league. The boys are in good condition and great thingB are expected of them In the near future. They have not been de feated In the three games they have played. Monday morning we were surprised to see a little sign on the door of MIbs Miller's classroom asking us to "Please knock before you enter." It caused not a little consternation but It was not until Tuesday that any- UIM MUjr- m.f uiflai a i k.. ...... some one of our Jokestera added this little phrase to the sign: "The knock er la on the inside.' Miss Miller saw the point. Francis Livermore was the first to purchase a $5 thrift stamp and Van Rodman deciding to follow his ex ample bought a two-bitter.
