The Ten Month Year.
Shocking Air Disaster.
Keep Youf Mainspring.
One White, One Black Kid
Copyright King Feature! Synd. Ino.
The important thing in this
, land is business, anil the fact
that Ford is on the front iap.e
of toner than Lindbergh proves
it. Mr. Ford's newest idea is
"the ten month year," every
workman having two full
months to rest, in summer,
whieh is the worst season for
factory work.
To carry' but that program,
all ten-months 'workers must
learn how to save. But squir
rels do it, hoarding nuts; red
Indians did it, drying peuuni
can. American labor would
learn to do it.
At. first the factory might,
withhold one-sixth of the wages,
distributing the amount,, plus
interest, in weekly installments
during the two months' holi
day. Or possibly, NOT prob
ably, employers might add one
sixth to the nsual wage, for va
cation distribution.
There is involved in the plan
ibis question, "How would two
months leisure affect the minds
of workers?"
, The cloak and suit industry,
one of the biggest in the tui
tion, has long compelled work
ers to take off several months,
without pay, each year, some
times almost half the year.
The men and women are driv
en hard during the working sea
son, then compelled to idle.
The result, according to some
employers, is communism, an
archism, class hatred, and simi
lar by-products of idleness.
It .would be wise .somehow,
to supply weekly incomes dur
ing the two months' vacation.
Then with Tom Thumb golf,
.motoring, swimming, radio, etc.,
there would be little dangerous
thinking.
The average mortal thinks
only when compelled to, rarely
when he has an assured income.
Study the sons of rich men if
you doubt it. ,

PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 12.
Harold H. Clifford, state tame
warden and 13. If. Clark, deputy
Mate game warden, were removed
from office yesterday by the state
gunte commission. Clifford is to
be relieved of his duties Septem
ber 1, while Clark's removal is
made effective immediately. Clif
ford's salary will continue until
November 1, while Clark's ends
with October 1.
The commission issued no state
ment explaining its action, which
followed lengthy hearings of
charges by various sportsmens' or
ganizations alleging incompetence
and negligence on the part of
Clifford and Clark in the con
duct of their offices. Sportsmen
charged both men with laxity in
enforcing fishing laws and receiv
ing "protection money" from
poachers.
No successors have been named
to either office, but David B.
Evans, member of the commission,
said an executive meeting would j
ue IieiU lur mui ijui i;uoo AUbUOk
25.
After arguments .by attorneys
late yesterday, the commissioners
retired to an executive "star" cham
ber session. David Evans, chair
man, announced there would be no
public statement as to where the
commissioners, individually, stood.
After two and a half hours be
hind closed doors, with the public
barred, the. ouster order was announced.-
. Evans said the commission would
meet in Portland Monday, August
25, to name Clifford's successor.
Several private detectives attend
ed the open session and, while no
explanation was made of their
presence, it was said these opera
tives were engaged in the supple
mentary investigation carried on
independently by the commission.
The sportsmen organiaations
which joined in the fight against
Clifford included Multnomah Ang
lers' and .Hunters' club, United
Sportsmen's council, Izaak Walton
league of Portland, Curry County
Game Protective association, Ma
rion County Game Protective as
sociation; Yamhill County Sports
men's association, and Jackson

tion. Among those mentioned for

Patterson,
The removal of Harold Clifford
from office meets the general ap
proval of southern Oregon sports
men and came before it was ex
pected, Inasmuch that the antici
pated removal, it was thought,
would not take place until the first
of the year. Disapproval of Clif
ford's administration had been
expressed for months and drevy
fire from the Jackson County
Game Protective association and
the Izaak Walton league of Jose
phine county, expressing protests
in the form of resolutions, request
ing his resignation
One local sportsman, active in
county game activities, declared
today ' that Clifford's removal
means that the office will be oper
ated in the future on a basis of
game merits and will not be gov
erned by political activities, which
is said to have done much to
handicap the work of the office in
the past.

Governor Norblad today vigor
ously denied published statements
that he had shown keen interest
In the state game commission
hearing that ousted State Game
Warden Harold Clifford and his
assistant, Ed Clark, and that he
had talked with Clifford during
the day by long distance tele
phone. "The statement that I was In
terested In the hearing and placed
a long distance call from an un
identified point Is absolutely un
true," Norblad said. "1 didn't
hear of the result of the confer
ence until late last night. I
haven't seen Clifford for a long
time. I have thought, from con
tacts I have had with him in
the legislature and as governor,'
that he was conducting the office.
properly. Or course I know noth
ing of the evidence heard at the
meeting. I appointed four f
the five members of ie commis
sion, and, of course, it Is up to
them to act, but their appointment
had nothing whatever to do with
the Clifford and Clark case."

BATTLE LEADER
OF'
Major General Menoher,
Who Led Rainbow Divis

to Pneumonia Clash
With Mitchell Recalled.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. (A1)
Major-General Charles T. Menoher,
former chief of the army air corps,
whose break 10 years ago with Col
onel William Mitchell precipitins
a nation -wido uproar, died lute

ordinate be relieved from duty,
thus Initiating a natlonally-alred
debate which culminated In the
court martial of Mitchell and his
eventual resignation from the ser
vice. John W. Weeks, then secretary
of war, sought to smooth over the
clash, and at one .lime Issued a
statement that Menoher had "with
drawn hl recommendations for the
relief of Mitchell,': although stat
ing later that Menoher's reasons,
"in theopinion of the secretary of
war, justified his action."
The breach, however, wan never
healed. General Menoher himwlf
resigned as chief of the air corps
In 1&21, asking a line assignment.
General Menoher was born In
Philadelphia, March 20. 1882. He
saw actlvo duty in both the Spanish-American

McKenzIo examined Hrcnnan as In

show Swunson told the witness he
had Ifien trailing Mooney and Hill

HT. LOCIH, Aug. 12. (A1) The
monoplane Greater St. Louis, pi
loted by Dale, Jackson and Purest
o'Hrine, early today soared nearer
and nearer to a new rocord foY
endurance refueling flying. Ah
Jackson and O'Briuo approached
tho present record of nearly 554
hours held by the Hunter brothers,
their "plane continued to function
well so well, in fact, that John
Hunter, a visitor at Lambert-Ht.
Louis field, said "Tt looks us
though they have It In tho bag."
At 7:11 u.m. today (est) Jack
sou and O' Urine had been clrcl-.
Ing over the field for 528 hours
and had slightly less than 27
hours to go to equal the Hunters
record. Under endurance flying
regulations, they must remain up
an additional hour to break tho
record.
Although within sight of the
record, which they formerly hold,
Jackson and O' Brine today had
no Intention of an early landing.
They planned to remain In tho
air nt least eight days beyond
the present record.
Jackson, speaking over tho
plane's radio transmitter, even
talked of staying up three weeks
more.
John Hunter, who acted as
spokesman for the brothers after
their arrival here yesterday, as
sured their HI. Louis rivals they
would not attempt to break tho
record of the greater Ht. IjOuIh
this year If a now mark Is
achieved.
"We would like to see the boys
make It," he said, "and it looks
as though they have about got It
In the bag. We wish them all
the luck In the world."
There was a suggestion of cha
grin, however, in the well wishes
of llarry Perkins1 of Ht. Louis,
Hunters' manager. The success
of Jackson and O'ltrlne has cost
the Hunters nbout $100,000 In

The fliers received the first as
surance of a financial return
from their flight yesterday when
an oil company announced U
