HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCT. 30, 1930. PAGE THREE YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE THEM TIME A woman whose son is in his sec ond year at college writes that her boy is well mannered and intelligent but does not seem to have any ob jective. "His-father and I urge him to de cide what he wants to do in life," she says, "but he tells us that he can not make up his mind." For the encouragement of this mother I can cite two interesting cases. A certain man now stands near the top of his profession, with an in come considerably in excess of a hundred thousand dollars a year. He worked hard in college, but his health was poor; he was frequently despondent, and at his graduation he felt that he was not trained for anything. He took the first Job offered, and made surprisingly good progress. Just about the time that his parents thought he was well established he suddenly chucked the job and start ed around the world. After a year's travel, which used up all his sav ings, he started in another position. The company failed, and he was out again. A third time he started in a different line, but it did not interest him. He could not get to first base. On his fourth attempt, when he was almost thirty years old, he fin ally found work that gripped him. Also, he became engaged to be mar-' ried. He jumped into high speed and has been successful ever since. I know another man whose ability was clearly recognized by the heads of the big company where he work ed, but somehow they could not seem to fit him into the place where he would be really productive. Four or five times they shifted him into different departments. They were just about to turn him into the street when he struck the one thing for which he was really fitted. To day he is vice president of the whole concern. When I buy an automobile the salesman tells me that it has been perfectly manufactured for Its work and carefully inspected and tuned up. At the same time, he says that I must be patient with it For the first two thousand miles I must run it slowly, and I must bring it in often and have it adjusted. We expect this in an automobile. But in a youngster we have the no tion that the factory which is the school or college ought to turn him out all ready for a champion ship race at high speed. It takes a lot of wisdom and pa tience to be the father of a boy who is starting in life. Boys must have a chance to get adjusted. You've got to give them time. ESKIMOS Traders returning from the Hud son's Bay country tell of Eskimo families whose Incomes in actual money run up to $40,000 a year, which they earn by trapping the rare white fox for its fur. These Eskimos, like all other uncultured people who come into possession of sudden wealth, have no idea of the value of money. They spend their Incomes on airplane joyrides, com mercial aviators having discovered that there is easy money in flying up to Herschel Island, in the Arctic ocean, where these Eskimos live, and charging them $375 for a flight to Edmonton. They pay $300 a ton for coal with which to heat their Igloos, buy the most expensive radio sets, and arouse the envy of their less fortunate neighbors. Some moralists are Inclined to criticize these Eskimos for their lack of thrift, but it seems to me as if they were getting more out of life than many persons who save their pennies and deny themselves any thing in the way of luxury. WINE It Is not Illegal, the Director of Prohibition declares, to make wine or beer in one's own home for one's own use. The law does not prohibit the making of beverages which are not "intoxicating in fact," but pro hibits their sale. It does not take a very long mem ory to recall 'the time when the do mestic manufacture of wine for home use was a part of the year's regular routine in a large propor tion of farm and village homes. El derberry wine, dandelion wine and wine from other fruits and ingre dients shared honors with the grape. And our grandmothers al ways took pains to see that there was a supply on hand of "black berry cordial," which was supposed to have sovereign value in digestive disturbances. Probably blackberry cordial would come under the pro hibition ban today, for it certainly was "intoxicating in fact." But one needed a capacity far beyond the ordinary to consume enough of the old-fashioned home-made wines to become Intoxicated by them. ST. BERNARD In ordering Italian border guards to fire on the monks of St. Bernard when they crossed the Italian bor der to rescue some snowbound trav elers, the Fascist government out raged the humane sensibilities of the whole world. The Hospice and monastery of St. Bernard, founded in the year 926 by Bernard de Men thon, is more than a Swiss institu tion; It is enshrined In the heart of the whole Christian world. Who has not heard of the men who give their lives to save others, as these monks have done for a thousand years? Situated 8,120 feet above sea-level, at the summit of the oldest-traveled pass across the Alps, the Hospice is a refuge for travelers though motorists are not especially welcome and the home of the famous St Bernard dogs. These great creatures, standing three feet tall, are a breed especi ally developed by the monks, with thick hair to withstand the cold, keen noses to smell stray travellers caught In the snowstorms, and great strength to drag them to safety or run swiftly for aid. More than 20,000 persons every year spend the night at the Hos pice. No charge is made, but every body is supposed to contribute the price of a night's lodging to the lit tle church there. HELIUM Instead of being a rare gas, ob tainable only at a high cost as it was a few years ago, helium, the lightest of all the elements except hydrogen, is now obtained In prac tically unlimited quantities from the Government-owned gas wells in Texas and Oklahoma. A movement has been started to induce the President and the Secre taries of War and of the Navy to permit the exportation of helium gas for use in commercial airships in other countries. Nothing could do more to aid in the development of dirigibles, and such an action on the part of officials would go far toward better international rela tions. But probabilities are that the advocates of war and the timorous ones who think the rest of the world is lying in wait to pounce up on the United States, will make a vigorous protest against letting any other nation have something which might be used in making war upon us. HEAT The newest vision of science is a substance which will take the place of steam for heating purposes. Diphenyl, a substance obtained from benzine, is said by the American In stitute of Chemical Engineers to be much better for this purpose. It is a solid which melts at a tempera ture of 157 degrees and vaporizes at 492 degrees. A house heating plant using dip henyl would have boiler and pipes full of this solid, which would grad ually become liquid as the fire was started, and would circulate through pipes and radiators like water. It holds heat better than steam, and it is said to give off more of the heat from the boiler furnace than steam does. Turkey Dressing to Be Demonstrated This Fall Turkey marketing in Oregon this fall is likely to be carried out on a more profitable basis to producers than ever before as the result of the extension of marketing associa tions and the better preparation of the birds for market. Killing and dressing demonstra tions have been arranged through the Oregon State college extension service for Hermiston, Redmond and Prineville the week of Novem ber 3 to 8. Similar work was done in southern Oregon in previous years with satisfactory results. "How many sides has an octa gon?" "Eight" "How many sides has a circle?" "Two an outside and an inside."
