OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1930. r FRA.NKPARKER 1 VALUES A boy Is worth $8,333 when he Is born, If his family has an income of $2,500 a year, an insurance expert calculates. That is what it would calculates. That is what It would take, put out at Interest of 3H per cent, to rear him to the age of eigh teen and produce the net income which he may be expected to earn from then on. It costs the average family $7,238 to bring up a boy and put him through high school. By the time he is eighteen, however, he is worth $28,654, again figuring his potential earning capacity. On that basis the male population of the United States is worth one trillion, one hundred and forty-four billion dollars. GASOLINE Cheaper gasoline and a smaller surplus of heavy fuel oil are the results expected from the adoption in this country of a new German process for adding hydrogen gas to crude petroleum. This is one of the revolutionary discoveries of sci ence, which are being made so rap idly that every Industry has to be constantly on the lookout lest its whole methods have to be changed over night Not so many years ago gasoline was a waste product. Then Daim ler invented the gasoline engine and that part of the petroleum sudden ly became the most useful. The Deisel engine, which uses heavy oil fuel, has not yet been sufficiently developed to consume anything like the surplus left after the gasoline has been extracted. DEFENSE Thirty-seven ships of war steamed into' New York harbor through the fog the other morning. Overhead 160 Navy airplanes, loosed from the deck of the airplane carrier "Sara toga," soared over the city. It was the Navy's demonstration of strength, and an impressive one, Navy men do not like the pro gram of reducing armaments. They would like us to believe that all the rest of the world is watching for a chance to pounce upon us and that only an enormous Navy can keep us from being gobbled up. One does not have to agree with their point of view, however, to ad mit that a battle fleet in the Hudson River is a magnificent spectacle and that a flock of airplanes can draw everybody away from their desks and tools to the roof-tops to. watch the show. We older folk will never get over our wonder at seeing men fly. To the youngsters it is already commonplace. ENERGY Most people think that the brain needs as much food as the body does. People complain of fatigue after mental effort, and because they feel as tired as if they had been using their muscles they think they must have used up as much energy as if they had been working with their bodies. Scientists at Wesleyan University have been studying the energy re quirements of brain-workers for years, and have announced that all of the energy expended In a solid hour of the most intense mental effort can be replaced by eating half of a salted peanut! Five min utes spent in dusting a desk con sumes more energy than an hour of mental work at the desk. Much of the so-called mental fatigue is physical fatigue. The wri ter who is tired after a day at the typewriter or pen is tired because of the physical effort of writing. Many who complain of brain-fag after a day of business conferences should rather complain of "talk-fag." The physical effort of continuous speak ing is a great energy-consumer, as every orator and actor knows. Most often, so-called mental fati gue comes from the failure to elim inate wastes properly from the body. The one thing the brain worker needs most is physical exer cise in the open air. DIPLOMAS GIVEN FOR GRADE WORK MOVIES Mr. Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, very cour teously writes to me concerning a comment in this column a few weeks ago to the effect that the movies do not give a real picture of life, and sends me a quantity of printed matter to prove that the picture men are doing their best to keep the movies pure. Purity is one thing and intelli gence is something else again. You can lay down rules which if follow ed, will prevent the movies from giving offense tven to the most pru dish mind. There are no possible rules by which people who do not know the difference between truth and falsehood can be prevented from putting false ideas on the screen. The motion picture is today the most influential force in the world, because it impresses the very young through the most effective channel for impressions, the eyes. For that reason, the movies are a fair target for criticism all the time. Oregon Pioneer Dies Portland Home May 26 W. C.

Farm Pointers By increasing carrying capacity Ladino clover pasture is reducing the cost of butterfat production on many Oregon farms, finds the Ore gon Experiment station. Weather conditions this spring have been unusually favorable to the development of brown rot in cherries and prunes, and reports of serious damage are coming to the Oregon Experiment station. Grow ers are urged to redouble their ef forts to hold the disease in check by spraying and dusting until hot weather reduces the danger. An easy and economical method of freeing the lawn of dandelions without too great a strain on the back is by the use of a chemical mixture made by boiling one-quarter of an ounce of white arsenic in one-half gallon of soft water. To this is added one-third of an ounce of caustic soda and one gallon of water. The mixture is then reboiled. A sharp stick is dipped into the solution and pushed into the crown of the plant. This is usually suc cessful in poisoning the plants, says the Oregon Experiment station. Like a number of other diseases that are favored by cool, moist wea ther conditions, several kinds of parasitic fungi which cause leaf spots on bearded irises have been unusually active this season. The most important control measures, says the Oregon Experiment sta tion are of a sanitary nature, con sisting chiefly in getting rid of all old leaves and crumbled refuse of the plants and resetting in a new place when warm, dry weather ar rives. ELKS CONCLAVE SET. Several thousand visitors and del egates are expected to attend the 1930 convention of the Oregon State Elks association which will meet In Portland, August 11, 12 and 13.
