O re g o n S ta te N e w s Crook county schools* second annu al music festival will occur this year early In April, with ekery school la the county taking .part. Last year the chprus work of over 500 pupils was considered excellent by the large crowd which packed the Prineville pavilion. The city council of Corvallis has ap proved plans and specifications for a new addition to city hall. The council will call for bids February 15. The people of Corvallis voted >60.000 at the recent election for city hall Im provements and new fire department equipment Breaking all scholarship records at the University of Oregon, Mrs. Golds C. Wickham, sophomore stadeat from Roseburg, made a total of 95 pointe for her work during the fall term, the university statistician has announced. Her score was the highest It Is possi ble to make.. Plana for promotion of the estab lishment of a cheese factory in Rogue river valley wore outlined at the Med ford meeting of the Jackson County Agricultural council recently. Central Point, the center of the dairy Industry In the valley, will endeavor to have It located there. A teat suit to determine the consti tutionality of the law passed by the last legislature limiting voting power at municipal elections to taxpayers Is being contemplated by the city of Canyonville, which recently voted a bond Issue of >10,000 for the installa tion of a municipal water system. Bids for the construction and Im provement of approximately 180 miles of highway at an estimated coat of >1,200,000 and ths building of four bridges will be opened by the state highway commission at a meeting to be held in Portland February ,27-' The meeting was announced by the state highway depratmenL The town of Detroit, located 60 miles east of Salem, and Breltenbush hot springs, mountain summer resort, were cut off from communications with the outside world as the result of a slide which came down the moun tain recently and covered the high way and railroad tracks of the Ham mond Lumber company. Announcement was made a short time ago of the transfer of V. V. Harp- ham, supervisor of the Ochoco nation al. fprest, with headquarters at Prine ville, to the Umpqua at Roseburg, Where he will assume the duties of supervisor. He will be succeeded at Prineville by W. O. Harriman, • who has been assistant supervisor of the Deschutes national forest, with head quarters In Bend. Some cities may be growing gray trying to figure out ways to keep out of debt, but not Pendleton. The city wound up the year with >12,195 83 In Its coffers unexpended. Receipts were greater than was anticipated and a better percentage of the taxes was collected than In other years. The un spent balance, which is more than a mere paper balance, probably will be used to retire bonds. Establishment of an Insect contro} station 16 Salem to combat parasites that threaten the fruit prop was pro posed by W. G, Allen, manager Of Hunt Brotfler«’ cannery, „Mr. Allen said that failure .to take action In the near future would mean destruction of the fruit crop and elimination of the cannery industry In the Willam ette valley. He said he particularly was Interested In the cherry Industry, which had been damaged materially by the cherry fly. New A ir Monsters ,1 Germany’s Graf Zeppelin is at pres ent the world’s largest airship. Eng land will soon ’complete two which will exceed the Graf Zeppelin in site. But the largest aircraft ever design ed are now being built for the United States Navy—two super - Zeppelins with a gas capacity of 6,600,000 cubic feet each. The relative size of these monsters of the air may be imagined by com parison with ths present LosAngeles with 2,600,000 cubic feet, and Graf Zeppelin with 8,700,000 cubic fe e t The new American ships will have a maximum speed of about 86 miles an hour, with a cruising radius of be tween 6,000 and 8,000 miles without refueling. Each will carry a number of airplanes which may be launched while in flight. These two great ships promise to be the monarchs of the air for some time to come— until Uncle Sam or someone else builds a bigger one. S te e l F o r S a fe ty Any and all means whereby the ap palling loss of life and limb by auto mobile accidents may be le^senad de serves the earnest consideration of the motoring public. The best braina of the country are being devoted to this great problem. Among the innovations of the last few years which tend to minimize the dangers of traffic is the all-steel auto mobile body, whidh by its great strength and rigidity has already demonstrated its worth as an aid to safety. Edward G. Budd of the manufac turing company which bears his name announces that six million automo biles, or about one-fourth of all mo tor cars now in service, are equipped with all-steel bodies made by his Arm; that more than 170 repair stations es pecially equipped to serve their own ers have been established in principal cities, and that this service will be rapidly extended. While a steel body will not prevent collisions and other accidents, it will serve to protect in a great measure the occupants from serious injury, just as the all-steel Pullman has prov ed its superiority over the old wooden coach. , M u s ic a l T a s t e B e t te r In spite of the preponderance of jazz and other trivial music on the air, Walter Damrosch believes that radio audiences are rapidly forming a taste for symphonic and other high class programs. He has come to thia conclusion from the many thousands of letters he has received from those who have enjoy ed his concerts by a symphony or chestra during the past few years, and the great increase in these expres sions of approval which have come to him during recent months. He says: “From the first I was confident the radio would bring about a new era in the history dt symphonic music in this country, but I had no idea that the results would become apparent so quickly.” Several of America’s finest sym phony orchestras, grand opera com panies and concert bands have been heard on the air regularly during the past season, all contributing tremend ously to the development of a better appreciation of good music on the part of the general public. We should have even more such programs in the future. We can fit all kinds of people. Any size or weight. Crippled or deformed feet. Wernmark’a Shoe Store, The Dalles. (yTownTalk CH J as. B.

The boys will be drawn from the Boy Scouts, 4-II clubs and other juvenile organizations. This m ovem ent for wood conser vation is sponsored by the D epart ment of Commerce, which has com piled directions for making about 1,200 different useful articles for camp, home and garden use from this hitherto w asted m aterial. A com m ittee of 150 leading citizens will assist the governm ent in carrying out the plan, which will include the equipping of w oodworking shops where the boys may develop their skill in the m anufacture of the a r ti cles suggested.

W h it e L ie* The old question of whether a false hood is ever justified is brought to mind by the death of Mrs. Minna Preiskel in Lodi, N. J., recently at the age of 72. A izejies of falsehoods had cheered her c j / age for more than ten years. Mrs. Preiskel was critically ill when her son, Robert, was killed in action in France on March 26, 1918. Doc tors warned that if she were told the sad news it would kill her. She was never told. Her family caused a letter to be sent to her, supposedly from her son, telling her that he wass employed in France. Each week a letter written in the United States and sent to France to be remailed to the mother was received and read to her, telling of her boy’s imagined doings abroad. In all 520 of these spurious letters were received by the waiting invalid who until the last had hopes of seeing her son again. Similar “white lies” have prevent ed mental anguish in thousands of cases the world .over. Who can say with assurance that it was wrong to tell them?
