Klinor Smith. 17-yeur-old jti-l
flier, stayed up in the freezing
winds above Long Island in an
open airplane. When she came
down her nose was bright pink,
her legs were stiff, her hands
were almost frozen, but she had
broken the women's endurance
record by one hour.
Flying interests wouicu; it is
one of the things that they can
do belter than men.
The MOST important thing
men caut do at all, namely.,
I producing uud taking care of
'ihildren. And thai is what in
terests women especially.
It is bolter 10 create an Abra

Mr. Hoover is fishing, calm
and pcaieful, having written
his' inaugural address and se
lected his cabinet. The coun
try won't know" who is in the
cabinet until March 4.
A thousand or more candi
dates may be sure that if they
haven't heard from Mr.' Hoo
ver yet. they will not hear from
him. The fact that Secretary
M"ellon UKMAINS in the cabi
net will please everybody,
tioniething that happens rarely.

The Panama- Canal set a new
high record for business in
Tauuary, of'J .ships passing in
30 days.
The country needs another
canal, and a Nicaragua canal
should be built at sea level to
take care of oeenn-lo-ocean
traffic.
The Nicaragua canal would
provide this country with a ca
nal from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific without any locks, so eas
ily destroyed.
The navy, which played at
war the other day, attacking
and defending the Panama Ca
nal, admits that the attackers,
theoretically "destroyed the ca
nal." They say that if the navy
had more fast cruUcrs the de
fense would have been success
ful. . On the other hand, if an en
emy eame with a few high-powered
bombing machines without
any cruisers or any ships on the
water, the canal could be de
stroyed, and floating ships
would incaii nothing.
. This country has - bought
from Nicaragua the right to
build a canal, and the canal
should be built, without loss of
lime. That w ill be one of Her
bert Hoover's jobs.
Professor Einstein's new the
ories 'puzzle able mathemati

He t'-lls you, if his deep tier

that gravitation and electricity
are the same force.

COUNTY ROAD TAXES
SAI.KM. Ore., Keb. 2. tSpecial.)
"I come from Ashland, which un
der the present taw is exempt
from mad tax," said Kepreaenta
tlve William I). HrlgKM f Jackson
county, "but I will volo fer !hla
bill, because It is a fair bill. Kvery
clty should pay Us Just sharu of
the county road tux."
The bill which Mr. Ihiggs so
strongly championed was one In
troduced by Mr. Egbert of Wasco
county, primarily lo have three
cities of that county made to pay
their sharu of tho road tax. It
i became a mutter of statewide ln
I terest when H was discovered that
many cities held charters that ex
empted them from road tux, al
though very few of them were
claiming tho exemption. Salem,
Ashland and Tillamook were
among the larger eillos having audi
; qualifying charters.
Tlie bill at first provided that
the cities lu counties having less
than LTt.'Hh) population at Die I'.UU
! census should be so taxed, hut a
l!ti census was considered a, rairer
! basis. When this dlsetosed that
Jackson county, which would have
I been exempt with a population of
Uii.iU-iO in I !U i), was affected by the
bill with Its I Hi! census of 2U.D0W,
Mr. Ilrlggs fell that further amend
ment was necessary. j
"I cannot see why." he said,
"Salem should be exempt from this
lax If Ashtand has to pay it. This,
law should be uniform lu lis ap- I
