New System HIGHER IDEA IN CHIVALRY A new zoning system is planned for the State Livestock Sanitary Board’s future work. .It is planned to divide the state Into three zones and have an assistant veterinarian in charge of each. One veterinarian would be stationed at Bend, covering all of the range territory in Eastern Oregon or that east of the Cascade Divide; one to be stationed at Portland covering all of the counties north, including Lincoln, Polk and Marion; one to be located at Eugene, covering all the territory in Western Oregon, south of the before mentioned counties.

When the feminists prepare a primer for the propagation of the new Idea in chivalry Sir Walter Raleigh will not be shown spreading a red velvet cape before the queen with hair and tem per to match. He will be depicted robed In a bungalow apron, washing the dishes for a spouse not recorded in history, but who must be injected Into the scene to offset the pernicious Elisabethan stuff. Wonderful lovers are fine in roman- tic fiction, but when it comes to life In a Harlem flat or a Greenwich vil lage studio, Mary Fisher Torrance, magazine writer, humorist, suffrage leader and Barnard graduate, roots for the busband who breaks down tra ditional labor leagues and performs the nocturnal china ablutions, says the Sun and New York Herald. “Any right-minded man who marries a college girl or a woman in the pro fessions knows that she cannot en thuse over scouring the kitchen sink any more than he could, and that she cun get no more inspiration than he can from cleaning the gas range. “It is Just dirty, grubby, disagree able work, and when sometimes In these days of servant rebellion help cannot be procured at any price it be hooves the husband to pitch in and go 50-50 by getting the pesky little routine tasks out of the way as soon as possible,” said Mrs. Torrance. “To me the higher expression of chivalry is a man’s performance of the dull, disagreeable chores, which every one of us wants to shirk, but which he does to eave a woman from doing them. And It Is the better class, educated, cultivated man who Is the first to do those things for hit wife when she is without help.” • Your Silent Salesman YOUR Stationery is your silent sales man.

A gas derived from the destructive distillation of straw is being produced on a small scale at the experimental farm of the United States Department of Agriculture at Arlington, Va., says the Journal of Industrial and Engi neering Chemistry in a recent article. This gas has been used for motor fuel, for cooking and illuminating pur- poses, but Its commercial value has not yet been determined. The office of development work of the bureau of chemistry Is now making a series of tests upon it. Fifty pounds of straw will produce about 800 cubic feet of gas, and tho problem of liquefying or condensing the gas In order to enable It to be used practically as a motor fuel is now In process of solution. Several valuable by-products are ob tained during the manufacture of tho gas. ■ This Space Belongs to the HERMISTON AUTO CO ■ I TIMES CHANGING IN CHINA A sign of the times from China. At Canton Christian college there are Chi nese gentlemen—"gentlemen,” says a writer In Asia, "of a class that for merly considered work with the hands degrading”—taking care of and study ing a model herd of water-buffaloes. If they were capable of such an emo tion the situation would probably sur prise the water-buffaloes, for long as water-buffaloes have been a common place factor In Chinese agriculture, and their wide horns and clumsy fig ures almost inevitable In a southern China landscape, they have never be fore been "studied" in an agricultural school, to say nothing of being studied by gentlemen. But the Chinese gentlemen of the present, or at any rate some of them, are interested In the future of, China, and as that future must necessarily be agricultural, these particular gen tlemen are interested in improving the water-buffalo. His temper is probably acceptable enough as it is, for, al though cross with strangers, the wa ter-buffalo is gentle with those he knows. A small boy, sitting on his back and sometimes playing a flute, controls him easily, and whoever has seen the creature dragging plow or harrow through the swampy rice fields will probably agree that “water-buf falo" is a proper name for him.—Chris tian Scienee Monitor.
