Pine for newsprint
Since wood-pulp paper was first
made in my home town of Stock
bridge, Mass., sixty years ago, it
has been believed that only spruce,
fir and hemlock fibers were suit
able; pine had too much pitch in it.
One result of that belief was to send
the big paper mills that make news
print, or ordinary newspaper paper,
farther and farther into the Cana
dian forests, as the more southerly
supplies of spruce were exhausted.
All the time there were millions
of acres of fast-growing "slash" pine
on the sandy lands of Georgia, Ala
bama and Florida, mostly going to
waste. My friend, Dr. Charles A.
Herty, famous chemist, began some
years ago to do some experimenting,
and he discovered that this southern
pine contains no pitch until it is
fifteen years old. He made some
paper from young pines and it
looked good. Last month he shipped
three carloads of wood-pulp, made
from young pines, secretly to a big
Canadian paper mill. It fabricated
perfectly on the fast machines and
seven Georgia dailies printed their
entire editions of one day on it.
Power man made
People think of Boulder Dam and
Muscle Shoals as the great sources
of enormous power. But the other
day there was completed in Brook
lyn the largest single power unit in
the world, except Niagara Falls.
That is the new steam plant of the
Brooklyn Edison Company, which
can generate more power than any
body ever dreamed of getting from
the Colorado River or the Tenes
see. It is a false notion that water
power is either plentiful or cheap.
C. P. Steinmetz, great electrical en
gineer, once said to me that if every
drop of water that falls on the sur
face of the United States were to
generate power all the way from
the mountain-tops to the sea, the
total power developed would not be
as much as was then being produced
by steam.
Any water-power project except
the very largest, and few of those,
takes so much capital investment
that the interest on the capital alone
amounts, often, to more than fuel
would have cost for a steam plant
of equal power. But I suppose poli
ticians trying to get appropriations
for local projects will keep on mak
ing the public believe that it will
benefit by developing water-powers.
Knees
in automobiles
Some of the new 1934 automobiles
will have a new sort of front wheel
suspension, which some bright press
agent has described as "putting
knees on the car's front legs." In
stead of a front axle, each wheel
will be independently supported
with its own spring arrangement to
take up the shock. The idea is that
bumps will not be transmitted thru
the frame to the whole chassis.
There is no doubt it will work,
for several European manufacturers
have been using the same idea for
years. Indeed, most of our new
automobile ideas come from Eu
rope. They had four-wheel brakes,
high-speed, small-bore engines and
streamline bodies long before we
did.
The reason for that is that Eu
ropean cars are made in small quan
tities, as a rule, and the makers are
free to experiment with new engin
eering ideas and designs. They get
enough for their cars so they can
take a chance.
Talkies there's hope
The two most popular "talkies"
that the American motion picture
people have produced in a year are
Special

ED CHINN, Prop.
"Little Women" and "Three Little
Pigs." Artistically, the best motion
picture that I have seen, is "Henry
the Eighth,' 'an English film.
Hollywood is still possessed with
the Idea that to be successful a pic
ture must have more than a trace of
Indecency. Yet the proof that the
public is not as sex-crazy as the
movie people think they are as
many of them are themselves is
found in the success of these three
pictures.
I am beginning to be hopeful
about the movies.
Radio . . . something new
Something new in radio music Is
promised soon. Nobody who listens
to a great orchestra over the radio
today gets the music as it sounds
to thOBe in the room with actual
players. The reason for that is that
the radio picks it up from one spot,
while the listener in the room hears
it with both ears and gets the basses
on the left, the strings in the middle
and the horns and tympani on the
right in their true relation to each
other.
A radio engineer who has been
working on the problem for one of
the big broadcasting chains told me
the other day that the solution has
been found. It is only a question
now of waiting until the big audi
toriums in which the great sym
phony orchestras perform are
equipped with the new system of
picking up the music as it really is
produced.
Oregon Now Grows Sweet
Potatoes in Some Districts
Sweet potato production In Ore
gon may seem strange, but A. G. B.
Bouquet, professor of vegetable
crops at Oregon State college, Is
authority for the statement that it
is entirely practical in certain lo
calities and under certain condi
tions. A frost-free season of 120 to
130 days is the first requirement.
Professor Bouquet has raised
sweet potatoes of high quality on
the experiment station farm at Cor
vallis. On the basis of his tests and
the experience of some other grow
ers he has prepared a circular on
sweet potato culture in Oregon
which has been issued by the exten
sion service. It may be had free on
request

The Book

"The Holy Bible,"' and which
contains Four Great Treasures.

Genesis and Geology
The higher animals are evolved
or created, whichever term suits
you better. And last of all, man.
His place at the top of the pyra
mid of creation is the same in both
Genesis and geology, the difference
being that Genesis compresses into
six hundred words what science ex
pands into hundreds of volumes,
and Genesis has a reason for man's
creation and a goal for his life,
while science throws up its hands
with the blank admission, "We do
not know." . '
So we have man and woman
launched forth upon a brand-new
planet Science locates the begin
nings of human life in the fertile
and fragrant valley of the Euphra
tes. Genesis is more specific, nam
ing the beautiful spot the "Garden
of Eden," and identifying the first
couple as Adam and Eve. Let us
take a running look at these two
interesting people and the more im
portant of their descendants, for in
the Old Testament, as in all other
historical records, the history of
peoples is principally the lives of
a few outstanding individuals.
A lecturer on woman suffrage
once challenged her audience with
the oratorical question, "Where, I
ask you, where would man be to
day if it were not for woman?" To
which a rather thick voice from the
rear benches answered, "In the
Garden of. Eden eating strawber
ries." Adam, our first ancestor, does
not make a very brave showing.
He and Eve were given the run of
the Garden, with permission to eat
any fruit except that one particular
tree. They ate the forbidden fruit
and when God discovered, them in
their transgression Adam took ref
uge behind Eve. "The woman whom
thou gavest to be with me," he ex
planied, "she gave me of the tree,
and I did eat." A cowardly excuse
which profited him nothing. For
their sin they were cast out, and
the Garden was closed to them. No
longer could they have food without
effort.
"Cursed is the ground for thy
sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it
all the days of thy life; Thorns also
and thistles shall it bring forth to
thee; ... In the sweat of thy face
shalt thou eat bread, till thou return
unto the ground; for out of it wast
thou taken: for dust thou art, and
unto dust shalt thou return."
Eve had two sons, Cain and Abel.
As a shepherd Abel had nothing to
do but sit on the side of a green
hill and watch his flocks grow fat,
making money for him the while.
Cain was a farmer, and any one
who has ever worked on a farm un
derstands why farmers in all ages
have been discontented and will
realize how Cain felt.' In his jeal
ousy over Abel's easy life and calm
demeanor Cain slew him, "Am I my
brother's keeper?" he demanded in
surly tones when God made inquiry
for Abel. The question has come
down through the generations as a
text for a million sermons.

Employment Fund to
Aid U. of 0. Students
Eugene. A fund of $600, made
available to the University of Ore
gon from money collected last year
for the state-wide relief fund, will
be used to finance projects here
which will provide employment for
a number of students, it was an
nounced by Earl M. Pallett, execu
tive secretary of the university. In
every case the work will be allotted
to students who must earn money
with which to pay registration fe
next term, it was stated. StudenU
will be given only enough work to
earn the amount they actually need
for fees, so that as many students
as possible may be aided, It la point
ed out.
Last year each member of the
faculty and staff here contributed a
day's pay each month to the govenr
or's releif fund. The unexpended
balance now on hand has been al
lotted back to the various institu
tions to provide jobs for students.
