Ad rate on application Office With Al Hermanson AMONG OUR UNFORTUNATES The writer took advantage of the opportunity, Tues day to attend the graduation exercises of the State School for the deaf at Salem and was very much impres sed with the efforts put forth by the students of that in stitution. as well as the directors and teachers. This was our first experience to witness such an af fair and we marvel at the way our state is looking a.ter the affairs of these unfortunates. Tittle tots from the age of six are sent there and are taught 10 talk, write, read, sing, play the piano and a great number of things. Each of the girls who graduated made their own graduation dress. At this institution we have a complete school plant of fering a training equivalent to a grade and high school education and including the teaching of several trades which people afflicted as these are, will be able to follow. Dormitories are provided, meals served, laundry washed, even hospitalization is provided for the sick. Targe beau tiful yards and grounds are provided including play sheds for the younger children. The deaf children and their parents, of this state are indeed fortunate to have such a well directed and effi cient plant in this state for their use. a ■ S- ■RADIO Chicago is staging another miniature war to make the city safe for the gangster and the “ward healers.’ City Gas Convenience We wonder how long it will be before an expeditionary- Miles From City force will be sent there to teach the rude Chicagoans how to peacefully- conduct themselves.

Secretary of State Hal E. Hoss just returned to the state from a conference in \ \ ashington D. C. called by the president to discuss safety. It seems to be the sense of the persons called into the conference that an examina tion is what the drivers of automobiles need. While it is true inexperience is a very possiplc cause for many of the accidents we believe that many more accidents art caused from over-confidence than by inexperience. An even greater source of trouble is carelessness and drunken driving. How will an examination reach these classes? Yet, they are the most deadly. Anyone may become reck- less’at times and take chances which they should not with the result that an accident might occur. And there are many who “kid” themselves they can drive as well with their head swimming from the effects of alcohol as they can while sober. In the case of this class the examination is usually given after the damage is done with the result that no one is benefitted.

In ushering Standard Flamo into suburban homes, the Standard Oil Company, one of Ihe pioneers in developing "home gas plants”, is offering a product proven in scores of C alifornia households during the past year. This new fuel gas, con densed to a liquid and stored in steel cylinders, enclosed in an at tractive inetal cabinet may be in stalled outdoors and connected, by ordinary piping, with modern gas ranges, w ater heaters and other gas appliances that mean so much less housekeeping drudgery.
