PIT OK,A.t-,.y;A JC'ATIOM 7 FIRE FORCE NEEDED. T AST week the Are alarm sounded on four successive days. Each time it sent chills through the spines of residents of the city. Only one of the flres, that which razed a residence on south Court street, resulted in property damage with in the city. Two were grass fires of little consequence. The fourth consumed two stacks of hay on the R. I. Thompson farm up Willow creek. Aroused over the damage done by the first fire, people re sponded readily to the three suc cessive alarms, and as the flres were of such nature that expert knowledge was not required to fight them, efforts of the fighters met with success. Concensus of opinion, however, is that a little expert knowledge by men trained to respond more read lly to the alarm would have re sulted In saving much of the loss In the first instance. Who knows but what the next alarm will summon our people to a fire in one of the fire-trap districts which, if uncontrolled, might result in thousands of dollars loss in property damage. Experience in the past has taught that such cat astrophes happen, and they do not give warning ahead of time. It might come any day. Is it going to take another disastrous fire to re freshen our minds to the fact that a few dollars spent in training an Sunday School Lesson International Snnday School Lesson for August 9 PHILIP'S MISSIONARY LABORS Acts 8:26-40 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D. It may be hard to be turned aside from present activities to under take some new work but very often this change is a blessing In dis guise. The changed field may pro duce far larger results than the one in which we are contentedly estab lished. Philip was making great progress in Samaria with his re vival. It was just the situation that most people would say needed the attention of the evangelist from Jerusalem who had already accom plished so much. God has the whole field in view and often needs an ac tive worker for another location. It works that way in business and the system is not different in the spiritual realm. He traveled south about 100 miles before any Indication was revealed of the work for which he had left the company in Samara. Then a man was observed in a chariot who was reading aloud. Again there is a direction from the Holy Spirit and Philip accosts the treasurer of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. This man had been to Jerusalem and while en route homeward was reading from Isaiah "53:7. This re ferred to the Messiah. Now this treasurer was a master at finances but poor in interpreting Scrpiture. Philip asks a question which each pastor and other teachers of the Bible should propound: "Under standest thou what thou readest?" His offer to expound the Scriptures is accepted and Philip now enters upon an active ministry by the roadside. Again there was a call to proceed northward and the convert is left that a work of evangelizing may be followed as far northward as Cae sarea. The Golden Text sets forth the activity that should be per formed by ejery believer: "They therefore that were scattered abroad went about preaching the word." Acts 8:4.

RADIO ADVERTISING. (Autocaster Service) WE WONDER if everybody is as tired of advertising over the radio as we are. We wonder if the people who are paying for radio ad vertising are getting their money's worth out of it But at the same time we wonder how we could get many of the really wonderful pro grams that we hear over our radio if advertisers didn t pay for it. Somebody has to pay for radio broadcasting. That goes without saying. Some broadcasting is paid for by political and other propa- andists, and most of that sort or stuff we have listened to is pretty dreary. In Russia we understand people cannot hear anything but propa ganda through their radio sets. In France the government owns all the radio stations but leases time on the air to advertisers who, we understand, do not make any very successful attempts at entertain ment In England there is a fairly liberal system of government con trol of broadcasting. Only one company is licensed to broadcast and it operates all of the stations in the British Isles. It gets its rev enue from an annual tax of ten shillings, or about $2.50 on each re ceiving set. You cannot have a re ceiving set in England without pay ing this tax. The government col lects the money and divides it with the broadcasting company which develops and puts on its own pro grams of entertainment and educa tion, but there is always a govern ment censor listening in and there is a decided limitation of free ex pression of ideas and opinions over the radio. The last thing we want in Ameri ca is any kind of government cen sorship. Freedom of speech and of the press is one of the fundamental principles of our democracy. There is always a bureaucratic clique in Washington which would like to control not only all radio broad casting but the newspapers and all public speakers as well. The worst thing that could happen to Ameri can liberty would be to let govern ment or any part of the govern ment prescribe what people may think or say. Probably, on the whole, our American system of letting adver tisers pay for our entertainment is the best We certainly get better entertainment over the radio than they do anywhere else, from all re ports, just as we have better news papers in America because our newspaper advertisers make them possible. But we do wish these broadcasting advertisers would use a little more restraint and a great many fewer words in telling us about the merits of their wares. THOSE EUROPEAN DEBTS. (Autocaster Service) THE principal impression which the international financial con ferences make upon us is that the United States is for the first time since the war taking the part in in ternational affairs which our coun try's position as the world's wealth iest and most prosperous nation de mands of us. It is announced from Washington that in officially repre senting the United States in the Conference on International Debts our Secretary of State, Mr. Stim son, and our Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Mellon, will take no part in the political aspects of ahe European situation. It is very difficult to see how they can keep out of it. International debts are necessarily involved in politics. When a nation owes mon ey the method whereby that debt is to be paid has to be decided in the long run by the politicians of that nation, precisely as the meth od of paying the interest on town or school district bonds and amort izing the principal has to be deter mined in the long run by the poli ticians of the town or the school district. International debts are just like all public debts, in that the prom ises of politicians to pay them are not always based upon the ability of the town, county, state or nation to pay. That seems to be Germany's case. She owes more than she can pay, but she has, given very good evidence of desire and willingness to pay. All reports from Germany are that the poeple there are work ing harder and longer hours than anywhere else In the world and are living on next to nothing in the ef fort to pay the heavy taxes which the national debt requires. Even doing the best they can the country cannot meet its obligations. The oldfashioned way of meeting a sit uation like that was for the credit or nations to send an army Into the country and take possession of it. The modern way is for all of the nations to whom Germany owes money to get together, as they are DEANS HONORED If Each Could Choose doing in London, and try to figure a way out, based upon Germany's proved and actual ability to pay, just as in private business a com mittee of creditors might work out a plan to enable a debtor to meet his obligations gradually. W. C. T. U. NOTES. MARY A. NOTSON, Reporter. British Columbia does not fur nish much proof that the plan of William Randolph Hearst to fi nance a five-bililon-dollar bond is sue out of taxes to be levied upon liquors would be a success. The en tire province has a population of about 525,000, considerably less than twice the population of Port land, Oregon. In 1921, the govern ment control plan was put into ef fect. Spirits and wine are sold in unlimited quantities in 75 stores. Beer is sold by the glass in 307 beer parlors. N There are 66 licensed clubs. There are 396 places not owned by the government where liquors are sold. The first nine months of the government plan showed liquor sales of $6,300,000. Last year the sales amounted to the sum of $19,500,000, showing that the sales have doubled in nine years. The total liquor bill for the nine years is nearly $122,000,000. In 1920 the public debt was $34,000,000 Within three years it had stepped up to $69,000,000, and on Nov. 1 1930, it was over $102,000,000. Under government control, in the province of Quebec, all kinds of liquors are sold in 204 cash and carry stores. Wine and beer are sold without limit in 708 hotels and restaurants. Beer is sold by the glass in 620 beer parlors. In 1,654 grocery stores and butcher shops beer may be bought by the bottle. There are 148 licensed clubs. Al together there are 3,340 liquor sell ing places, and the population of the province is slightly more than 2,360,000. The drink bill for the nine years amounted to $520,000,000. The other provinces, except Prince Edward Island, show a sim ilar record. Prince Edward Island has prohibition. The population is 88,615. Convictions for serious of fences number less than one-tenth the rate for Canada as a whole. There has not been an execution in forty years. Divorces are almost unknown. There is no unemploy ment. There are twice, as many people per square mile, four times as many cattle, and eight times as much poultry as in any other prov ince.

(2) From a study of vital statis tics, I find that six o'clock dinner devotees succumb to "heart dis ease" or cerebral haemorrhage, never later than the middle sixties. These are city-dwellers, who are too busy to eat necessary meals until the day's business is done. (3) If I were to Inject the ex pressed juice of the average six o'clock dinner into a patient's veins I feel sure I would kill him instant roads, more postoffices, more tele graph lines, more churches, and more money in the savings banks per capita than any other Canad ian province. The police force of the entire province consists of thir teen men. O.S.C. Discovers! Another Animal Disease Immunity With the discovery of a new hyper-immune serum which will pro tect dogs from the dreaded salmon poisoning disease which has long been a serious problem to the live stock industry of the coastal re gions, Oregon State college experi ment station has developed its third Immunity a record believed to be unequalled by any station In the United States. The other two, both of which are now In general use, are immunities against chicken pox and coccidiosis of chickens. About six years ago veterinarians The World's Wrong, Bub's Right! - Uy Albert T. ReiJ ly! Well the six o'clock glutton gets those juices into his veins more slowly, hence he is slower about dying of "heart disease" than he'd be with my intravenous in jection.

In announcing the discovery of the new serum before a group of 100 veterinarians from Oregon, Washington and British Columbia gathered at the college for their an nual convention last week, the ex periment station veterinarians pointed out that salmon poisoning may also be transmitted by a blood injection, a fact which was used as the basis for the development of the immunizing serum. This is said to be the first time in the history of medical science that a fluke has been found to act as a carrier for an infectious disease. The effectiveness of the new ser- By ED KRESSY um in producing immunity to the disease has teen definitely estab lished through experiments in dif ferent sections of western Oregon, according to Dr. B. T. Simms, head of the veterinary department at the college. No means of curing sal mon poisoning after It has been contracted has yet been found, however, and the study will be con tinued with this end in view. RETURNS FROM CONVENTION. Dr. A. D. McMurdo, who returned home Sunday evening from the convention or the Eastern Oregon District Medical association, held at Wallowa Lake on Saturday, re ported a wonderful meeting. It was one of the very best so far held, and the treatment of guests, and the surroundings were superlative, he said. Dr. McMurdo was presi dent of the association for the year just closed. Only one thing happened to mar the smoothness and dispatch of the proceedings, he said. Dr. C. J. Bartlett cracked up his plane In flying over from Baker, accompan ied by Drs. Higgins and Gordon, also of Baker. Luckily there were no serious Injuries, all escaping un hurt with the exception of Dr. Gor don ,' who received slight bruises. The plane landed in a clump of willows which broke the fall. Paul M. Gemmell returned home last Thursday from Portland where he received treatment for three weeks for injuries to his spine, at the veterans' hospital. His condi tion was not improved and he has been bedfast since, suffering much pain.
