WITH 37,000 people killed by automobiles in the United States last year, and the National Safety Council reporting such fa talities, through February, up 24 per cent over the same period last year, it is time for everyone driving an automobile to ask himself a serious question. That question is, "Is it safe?" Not only once, but every time the driver backs away from the curb, attempts to pass another car, or acts in any one of a thousand ways in whch he is endangering his own or other lives, he should first ask him self the question, "Is it safe?" Statistics of the council attribute the large proportion of automobile fatalities to the "take a-chance" driv er. And it is the "take-a-chance" driver who is arousing a public in dignation which will result in the driving privilege being more and more restricted to those who prove themselves competent, not only by physical fitness and technical know ledge, but by actual experience rat ing. Oregon already has taken long strides toward making the highways safe. And there is strong probabil ity that when the new period for drivers' licenses starts June 30 the issuance of new licenses to many now enjoying the driver's privilege will be denied. Added to physical defects and lack of proper know ledge of car handling will be chalked against many drivers the score, "he's taken too many chances." Society generally has been patient and long-suffering in the matter of automobile accidents. But more and more is the responsibility for his acts under the wheel being placed at the door of the individual driver. Every one who appreciates the driving privilege should become cognizant of the situation, and before doing anything at all with his automobile, remind himself again, "Is it Safe?" He Gets the Breaks. A W, CHARLIE'S just a lucky XjL guy. He get's all the breaks." Trite as the saying is, it calls for repetition of a truism which is re peatedly brought to the attention of each new commencement class, "Charlie makes his own breaks, and therefore his heels are dogged by Lady Luck." F. E. Searle, superintendent of the Henry Ford trade school, address ing a "career conference" recently in New York, said that personality and imagination count for more than "luck" and "getting the breaks," and that, in fact, most of the good for tune is placed in the lap of the com petent and ambitious worker. "Charlie" is picked from among his fellows for the job higher up be cause he evidences the knowledge and application which mark him as capable and reliable. Charlie does not watch the clock and forget his job the minute quitting time arrives. He studies his job in relation to its importance to the business. He sees how he can do it a little better than it has been done before, and through his interest and accomplishment at tracts the attention which brings him promotion. The "Charlie" theme is repeated in the success story of every self made man or woman. It's duplica tion is not easy. It calls for con stant and continued study and work. But it does reveal many opportuni ties, even in the complicated econ omic structure of today, for those with the courage and stamina to pursue it. First a Newspaperman THROUGH many years the Blue Mountain Eagle of Canyon City has served its field faithfully and well. It has been a pleasure these many years to exchange publications with this esteemed contemporary, and to drink at the fount of philos ophy that has flowed from the pen of its versatile editor, Clint P. Haight. Through his forceful writing and his equally forceful public delivery, Clint Haight so claimed the hearts of his people that they sent him to Salem as their representative on a write-in ballot. When the fire con sumed the Blue Mountain Eagle plant Monday night, Clint Haight's first concern was his duty to his public. There were other more phy sically capable of battling the flames. He was first a newspaperman, re fleeting the highest type of devo tion to his profession, when he rushed to John Day to assist in is suing a fire extra. May the Blue Mountain Eagle not be long in re covering from the staggering fire blow. To Chandler and Haight, those grand old newspapermen, our heartfelt sympathy and Godspeed to recovery. Low Cost Steer Ration Aids in Fattening The use of a small amount of cot ton seed meal in connection with a low protein fattening ration was found highly profitable in connec tion with cattle feeding experiments conducted by the animal husbandry department at Oregon State college during the past season. One pound a day of such meal fed to each steer was found to be equiv alent to three pounds of grain as far as daily gain was concerned. Use of the meal for a feeding period of 104 days was found to have decreas ed the cost of production as com pared with a ration without it. Ben W. Rodenwold, assistant professor of animal husbandry, in charge of the feeding experiments, pointed out that in his opinion the function of the cotton seed meal was either in adding extra protein, extra vitamins or both, and that nothing would have been gained by increasing the pro portion of cotton seed meal to grain, although that was not experimental ly determined. A car load of steers was used in the feeding test and these were di vided as nearly equally as possible. One pen was fed low grade mixed hay, seven pounds of rolled wheat and one pound of cotton seed meal per day. The other steers were fed the same kind and amount of hay and 8 pounds of rolled wheat per day. The total cost for the feeder steers plus the feed was $7.35 per hundred for the first pen at the end of thje period, and $7.57 for the second pen. The feed cost per hundred pounds gain was $10.27 for the pen receiving the cotton seed meal and $11.65 for the other pen. In addition the first pen showed a little higher finish and was appraised higher at the conclu sion of the test. For purposes of calculating costs, the hay was figured at $8 a ton. wheat $40 a ton and cotton seed meal $5 a ton, a little higher than actual market prices at the time. The feeding project proved profit able this year partly because of the economical ration used and partly as a result of a considerable spread in price between feeder steers in the fall and prime fat stock in the spring. Frank Alfred, district attorney, visited in Portland over the week end with Mrs. Alfred who is em ployed in the city.
