Snow Plows Are Busy
On The Mt. Hood Loop
Ths Mount Hood loop highway
will soon be open for travel. Snow
plows are ,• now working between
Portland and the summit of the
highway with the rssult that the
highway is clear to Government
Camp and Rhododendron on the
Portland side and f reported to be
clear on the Hood River side as far
as the White river bridge.
Snow
drifts are reported to be an aver­
age depth of five feet. Com­
plaint is made of the utbal spring
vandalism by selfish Portland motor­
ists who are digging up and other­
wise destroying the wild flowers a-
long the highway. These people do
not even respect private property,
breaking down fences to get at the
wild flowers that soon wither away.
Radio Public Has
Own Censor Codes
Anyone who will take the time to
study and think about the present
status of broadcasting will come to
the conclusion that it can have only
a constructive and invigorating influ-
enee in the American social »truc-
ture.
Fear of a private or government
monopoly in radio broadcasting is
groundless, as it would be intolerable
and equivalent to granting exclusive
right in the air. This would be as
vicious and unAmerican as a monop­
oly in sailing the seas or navigating
Secretary of Commerce Hoover
says co-operation within the ranks of
the industry and a free and open
competition are better than federal
regulation. Similarly, in the case of
the radio, the standard of taste a-
mong broadcasters constantly im­
proves to match the rising tide of a
demand for good music, for addres-
fòr subject
ses worth listening
matter that appeals to the mmJ
when the voice has no picture for
its *uxDiary. For the listener has the
remedy i* his own hand*, and with
* turn of the wrist will put himsolf
beyond the reach of the so-called en­
tertainer who slights hi* opportunity
and insults the listener’s intelligence.

Property Loss Guarded
By Modern Methods
The development of electricity
and the automobile have furnished
engineers with many problems, con­
nected with safeguarding life and
property. Electricity and the auto­
mobile are two of the greatest
servants of mankind today.
In
spite of the unlimited power which
these agencies represent, their appli­
cation to the affairs of everyday life
has been made so simple that their
use is almost as universal and, safe
in the United States as the family
coffe* pot. Thia condition of affairs
has not developed accidentally. It has
all been part of the life work of
thousands of engineers and inven-
tors.
Nowhere can one gain as vivid an
impression of the testing work be-
ing done on all sorts of modern ap-
pu»nces to make them safe for the
use of mankind as at the underwrit­
ers' laboratories in Chicago. At this
remarkable institution, thpusands of
appliances are brought in every year
by manufacturers who wish to have
trained engineers find any possible
flaws in the product which they plan
to sell to the public. The tests car­
ried on at the laboratories have sav­
ed millions of dollars of property
loss through finding imperfections in
articles and corrections for the same
previous to their general manufac­
ture and sale to the public
IL us is the insurance business and
industry doing more than its part to
cut uewn the national fire and acci­
dent loss. If the public, in whose in­
terest . these tests are carried on,
would do one-half as much, the sav-
.ng in the thousands of lives lost an-
nually by fire and accident and in
ths annusi destruction pf hundreds
ot milUona of dollars worth of prop-
erty would be astounding.

HIS JOB
HE little cab driver who used to
come tor me when, on rainy day*.
T
1 took a taxi to save myself from the
Inclement weather was a cheerful soul.
He was always careful, always cour­
teous, always on time, always con­
siderate of my comfort. He met me
late one especially stormy night when
the thermometer was down aad the
wind was cutting like a razor through
the heaviest garments.
“Don’t you get sick and tired of
Hits dog's life?" L asked as be tucked
me snugly into the back seat
“Oh, no,’’ he replied smiling, “you
■ee. It’s my job.“
The memory of his cheerful face and
his suggestive words has helped me
often since. When the days have been
long, and the callers Irritating and the
problems difficult to solve, when I
might have grown discouraged over
the honest effort which resulted only
In failure. I have tried to take it cheer

Very likely yours is not an easy

there will be all sorts of temptations

as ever. He gave me courage.
Local Elks Will
March At Portland
John G. Odell and F. L. Houghton

pose of interesting members of the
B. P. O. Elks lodge of The Dalles in

June.'"
The two were well pleased with
the interest taken by the memben
of Sherrçjan county and the pledges
made for active cooperation from the
Sherman county membership. The
marching and convention uniform
adopted by the local lodge is a ser­
vicable one that can be converted
into a business suit or recreation
clothes after the convention day per­
iod. It is supplied to the members
by the woolen mills at Oregon City
and it is an “all-Oregon” product
easily worth more than the contract
price.
The Elks parade to be staged
during the grand lodge session
will be the’ most spectacular ever
seen in Portland and the greatest
in every particular ever staged by
the Elks anywhere, according to ad­
vance reports from the committeee
in "charge at Portland.. Assurances
have been received by the Portland
lodge, said Mr. Odell, from many
places in all the north west states
that they will have special delega­
tions bedecked in full regalia, and
that there would be “no end” of
bands for the parades, special music,
decorated floats, chanters, uniform­
ed bodies galore, making a won­
derful and colorful showing surpass­
ing anything yet staged in the north
west.
