HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1931. PAGE THREE DOING THINGS FOR PEOPLE I have a friend who occupied a prominent official position in Wash ington for a number of years. Af ter his retirement he opened an of fice and let it be known that he would act as an adviser to indi viduals and companies having busi ness to transact with the govern ment. Recently he told me that his first year's income was about ten times as large as he had dared to hope for. "The only way I can explain it is that I am now cashing in on my life-time habit of doing things for people," he said. "When I was in otlice I never could see why it was n't worth while to go to a little trouble for folks if you could do it properly. So when a man came to me I didn't try to side-step by say ing, 'You will have to take that mat ter up with such and such a de partment,' I just tried to help him out. "I wasn't scheming about it. I had no conscious notion that I was laying up treasure in Heaven, or anything of that sort. "But apparently people remem bered and appreciated, and now they are taking pleasure in paying me back." Neither by temperament nor con viction do I belong to the United HOUSES Houses cost too much and are not good enough when they are finished and paid for. That is what Groser nor Attebury, one of the most fa mous architects, declares, and many others agree with him. There has been no Important Improvement In the building of homes In a thousand years; houses are still made to or der, by expensive hand processes. Working people ought to be able to buy permanent homes for half what they now cost, homes that will not deteriorate in twenty years or fifty, and which will keep out the weather without constant .repairs. The way to get them, Mr. Attebury points out, is to build them in fac tories, by machinery. He has done that with a group of houses on Long Island. Instead of single bricks or boards put together on the job, whole walls, floor slabs, partitions, roofs, were cast in rein forced concrete and fitted together by a couple of workmen with a der rick. The result is houses which are more comfortable in hot weath er or cold weather, which will last hundreds of years, and which cost about half what similar houses built f - est it w&L IWIth ach IO lb. or 2W2 lb. tack of Sperry Drifted Snow Flour,a handsome nickel-plated,enamel-handled combination Meaiuring and Batting Spoon (llVa Inches long) with patented pouring lip, FREE! 2 With each 49 lb. sack of Sperry Drifted Snow Flour a large nickel-plated, enamel-handled steak or oven fork (12V2 inches long), together with the Measuring Baiting spoon described above, FREE I Both utensils approved by Good Housekeeping Institute.

SPERRY DRIFTED SNOW FLOUR Brotherhood of Pollyaraias. I do not hold that we live in the best of all possible worlds, nor that selfish ness is always punished and virtue always rewarded. On the contrary, I see many nota ble examples of men who have ap parently never done a gracious thing in their whole lives who yet have achieved fortunes and are quite serene and contented in the enjoyment of the good things of the world. But at several different times in my own experience I have been sur prised by having bread which I had cast upon the waters and forgotten come back to me spread with good butter and even considerable jam. One of the most valuable con tacts of my business life grew out of work which I did for a certain charitable organization, with no thought of personal gain. And a large piece of business once walked into my office, sent by the brother of a man whom I had been able to help many years before, and in an entirely different part of the coun try. Speaking generally, I should say that the chance of being rewarded for good works is sufficient so that any man is justified, from a purely selfish standpoint, in going out of his way occasionally to be kind. To say nothing of the fact that doing things for other people brings a personal satisfaction which is, in itself, a reward. in the old way cost. Eventually some such system will be in general use and everybody will be able to own a durable home. TAXES Comparatively few motorists re sent being taxed for highway up keep, in the form of a sales tax on gasoline. But politicians, always trying to find new ways of paying more salaries to their henchmen, are trying in some states to divert the gasoline tax to other than high way puproses. This ought to be resented and fought by everybody who believes that we have too many tax-eaters in America. Every dollar paid in taxes by car owners or drivers should be used for highway con struction and maintenance. FINGERPRINTS Sir. Edward R. Henry died the other day. He was the chief of Scotland Yard who Introduced into modern police practice the ancient Chinese method of identification by finger-prints. For more than 2.000 years the people of Eastern Asia used thumb prints instead of signatures. Any signatures can be forged, but no two persons have identical finger prints. Today there are literally millions of fingerprints on record in the police headquarters of every nation. Every known criminal is fingerprinted and photographs of these fingerprints are exchanged be tween police departments. Banks, insurance companies, ar mies and navies, all sorts of busi ness and enterprises in which the identity of an individual must be known with certainty now uses fin gerprint records. Since the finger prints never change from birth un- DOUBLE FREE OFFER m m a t AT YOUR GROCER'S NOW! til death, the time will come when society will require every child to be fingerprinted at birth, and the prints made a public record. Under such a system there can never be any question as to whose baby Is who when children get mixed In a hospital ward, or whether the per son claiming to be the missing heir is the right one. ENGINES Experimenters with the Diesel type of engines for airplanes are op timistic in spite of many setbacks. Diesel-engined planes have made long flights economically but the questions of manufacturing cost and durability remain to be an swered. The Diesel engine is like any other engine which depends upon the explosion of a mixture of gas and air inside a cylinder, except that It uses heavy oil instead of gas oline and requires no electric igni tion system, the pressure Inside the cylinder being so great that the oil it heated to the ignition point by the rise in temperature caused by the pressure. The high pressure required makes it difficult to reduce the Diesel en gine to the light weight required for aviation. For ships and where ever crude or semi-refined oil is available cheaply it is highly econ omical in moderate-sized units, though probably not as economical in large units as the steam turbine. In aviationi it is expected that the same weight of fuel will produce three times the mileage as gasoline, at a lower price per gallon. Sooner or later the Diesel engine will come into its own In the air and flying will be cheaper as well as safer from the Are risk. SPEED Baron Shiba, a Japanese, has in vented a method of making motion pictures at the . rate of 40,000 ex posures a second. How fast that is one cam imagine when it is realized that the "slow-motion" pictures shown In theatres, of athletic per formances and the like, are taken at the rate of only 100 a second. The faster the rate of exposure, the slower the motion appears on the screen. Shiba's camera works 400 times as fast as the standard slow-motion machine. It reduces the invisible vibration of a bee's wing to a gentle fanning motion so slow that the eye can hardly follow it!

Sunday School Lesson k International Sunday School Lesion for March 15 JESUS AMONG FRIENDS AND FOBS Luke 10:38-42; 11: 42-48, 52-54 REV. SAMUEL D. PRICE, D. D. Far more than many may think, Jesus was a very friendly man. He accepted many invitations to be a guest and delighted in the friend ships that were increased as He tarried in some familar home. This time the Incident is in Bethany, not far from Jerusalem. The writer was at the traditonal site of this place and also entered the supposed tomb of Lazarus, brother of Mary and Martha who figure in this les son. Both of these sisters have proba bly been overestimated by their critcs. Martha "also" delighted to sit at his feet and learn of Him. Mary had probably attended to her part of .the housework that morn ing. Martha wanted to overdo in the matter of the menu that day, and this was merely in accord with oriental custom. Today many a visit is spoiled for both guest and host by too much entertaining. Many wanted spiritual uplift rather than physical indigestion. It looks as if Martha had been worrying herself with self-pity and the fretting was allowed to increase until she ex ploded against her sister and be fore the Company. Foes are seen when the Pharisees come around to find fault wtih this new Teacher Who presents such different rules for daily living. They have added more rules to the Old Testament scrolls than the people can keep in mind, let alone prac tice.
