MAURICE ROSSI and Paul Cados,
French aviators, leave New York
on Saturday morning. Fllty-aeven
houra later they land at, Ryak, lu
Syria, after having been In the air
57 hour:.
During tiua time they covered a
distance of 6900 miles, which la far
ther than any aviator ever flew be
fore without landing.
Thua another world record goea up
on the big board.
FIFTY-SEVEN houra la a trifle leas
than two daya and i half, and In
thle time these Frenchmen cover ap
proilmately 6000 mllea.
It took the Oregon pioneers. In
their ox wagons, from four to aix
months to cover two thousand miles.
The world Is speeding up, Isn't
It?
FIFTY-NINE hundred miles In bl
hours. That la a little better
than 100 miles an hour, which, aa a
sustained average, Is pretty high, even
for an airplane.
Stllli you have read that the rali
roodB are bringing out trains that
will do better than 100 mllea an
hour. '
The alrplane'a record for high speed
isn't to be permitted to go unchal
lenged. SPEED I What" a'maula we have for
It In these modern days. We
want to GO FAST.
Why? Well, that Is hard to say.
Many a motorist will drive like mad
all day, to save an hour, and after
reaching his destlnstlon will wsste
TWO hours without thinking of it.
He wasn't driving fast merely to
save time. . What he wanted was
SPEED.
THIS plea la broadcast from Wash
ington by General Johnson, ad
ministrator of the national recovery
act: "Buy because buying supports
your Job."
True enough. But most of us will
buy Just as rapidly aa we get money
In our pockets to buy with.
We need no urging In that dlreo
tlon.
rEOPLE In this modern day are
I urged to buy. because buying
makes business good and when busi
ness Is good Jobs are plentiful.
In an earlier day people were urged
to SAVE to lay something by for a
rainy day.
Times change, don't they?
rnoo much buying bankrupt the
1 buyer. Too much ssvtng slows
down business.
Here, as elsewhere, the Ideal lies
somewhere In between the" extremes.
IT TS true thalT buying makes busi
ness, and too much saving hurts
business. But, if you are wise, you
will lay by A LITTLE as you go along,
putting something by for a rainy day.
REASONABLE thrift doesn't hurt
business.

LUMBER production of Oregon and
Washington, combined, In 1833
amounted to 3,887,826,000 feet, ac
cording to figures Just given out by
the forest service.-
This was 41 per cent below 1931
production, 58 per cent below that
of 1930 and 68 per cent below that
of 1929.
Lumber has certainly suffered loss
of markets along with the other great
Industries. It Is a little encouraging
to us out here In the lumber coun-
v try. however, to note from the sta
tlstlcs that lumber has suffered no
more than steel.

feet. Washington produced 2.
260.893.000 feet and Oregon 1.606,
934,000 feet. Washington, that Is to
say, produced approximately 40 per
cent more lumber than Oregon last
year.
Washington alwaya has produced
more lumber than Oregon, but the
time is coming when It will not. The
time Is not far distant when Oregon
will be the big lumber atate.

BEVEIUiY HILLS, Calif.,
Aug. 9. It taken a long time to
find out how wrong you are
sometimes. In 1898 we was all
in beaded perspiration .trying
to fix it so Cuba would have
liberty and all the accompany
ing benefits. Now Cuba is hav
ing ono of the best civil wars
that's been produced in years.
Got rid of the Spaniards, now
they can have a real fight.
Around 1917 we also decided
that the world ought to have a
mess of democracy, so we went
a long ways from home to fix
it up for 'em. Well you can
kinder get a rough idea of how
we fined it.
So tho moral of the whole,
thing seems to be, stay home,
build a big army and navy.
They can't come here to lick
us, we are not going there to
lick them, so how you going to
have any wart
