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. Each

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.

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.”

Gas From Straw.
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.

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.
