Profit I Got Off to Bad Mistakes Being Ironed Out deas Revised By VIRGIL PINKI.EV (United Press Start Correspondent.) STATE HOUSE, SALEM, Ore (UP) Little change In the basic constnic tlon of the Oregon liquor control act by the next legislature was forecast today, following report received here from many parts of the state. Most candidates for nomination In the May 18 primaries believe, and presumably their constituents, that the law should Be given a lair inn The act Itself was off to a bad start as the result of some foolish blunders on the nsrt of the commission slid Its administrator. These mistakes, gradually being eradicated, lost somo publlo support. Local Option Demand Weak. ' Most observers, however, are agreed that a majority of Oregonlans desire some type of state control. The de mand for local option has not been strong except In a Jew isolated in stances. The entire state liquor control or ganization probably would have op erated more smoothly had the com- mission waited 90 days after the act was passed before stores were opened. Administrator aeorge sammis an' nounced publicly that by February 10 approximately 17 stores ana oo egeu cles would be opened. He prophe sied that during the first week's bust, ness 100,000 Individual liquor per mlt would be sold at II each. No stores were operating by Febru. ary 10, and many of the agencies are till to be opened. At tne ciose oi inn first six weeks' business Individual oermlts totaled loss than 18,000, in contrast to the single week figure of 100.000 announoed by Sammla. Until the liquor commission dU Toroed Itself from the willing services at William Elnzlg, state purchasing gent, harmful statements were made about store fixtures, including expen sive showcases, potted plants and beautiful furniture. Personnel Reduced. Stores were opened with large per sonnel. In some stores four or five employes were hired and later the commission was loroed to out ataffs In half. Some store still are over etaffrd. Little cooperation was secured by the commission from law enforcement agencies berore stores opened. Boot leggers continued to operate after the state went into the liquor business. Many rot!lers of liquor are still with out licenses. Estimates Of $2,000,000 to 13,000,000 profit annually from operation of the act have proved too high. Appar ently no one knows what profit, if any, will be made. License Fees Far Short. The commission has turned over approximately 44,0O0 to date to tho atste central relief committee to fi nance unemployment relief activities. The money was paid from license fees, estimated to yield 700,000 an nually, a figure which also appears optimistic. Well informed observers believe, however, that the act will atlll weath er the Amlng legislative session, es pecially If a governor Is elected who rloea not favor liquidation of the liquor commission. There are large numbers of eltl rena who would prefer return of prohibition rather than saloons and swinging doora If good state control csnnot be achieved. t,l til sr j-N The first Mother's Day stamps to come off the presses In Wash ington were dedicated by Postmaster General Farley (left) to Mrs. Franklin D.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY iwmmsmm TOY RIVER Solution of Problems in Water Supply and Irriga ' tion Works at Boulder Dam Worked Out in Sand By F. B. COI.TO.V . (Associated Press Science Writer.) WASHINGTON. (P) A small-boy game played In earnest by scientists buiioing toy rivers in a sand-pile Is showing the way here to solution of problems connected with the water supply and irrigation works to be served by Boulder dam. The toy river in this case Is a mini ature Colorado river, and the "sand pile" was shipped 2,000 miles direct from the Colorado's bed to Washing ton for scientific experiments at the bureau of standards' hydraulic lib rary under direction of H. N. Eatnn and Dr. C. A. Wright. Watch Eroding Process. The miniature "Colorado," a few Inches deep, runs through a wooden flume Instead or between canyon walls, over an experimental "bed" of the Colorado river sand, to show sci entists how the real river will behave after Boulder dam la completed. Through glass windows In the sides of the flume the experimenters can watch the water in the actual process of eroding the sand in the "river bed." A gauge shows them the depth and contours of the eroded places. The eroded sand la washed Into a trap where it can be measured to learn the amount of erosion and the river's sand-carrying capacity.

It probably will be the first time In centuries that clear water has flowed through the lower Colorado river channel. Engineers want to know whether this clear water will scour the bed and banks of the river below the dam much more than the present muddy water, already so saturated It can pick up little more sand. 4 Dance at Rogue Elk Saturday night, April 28.

CW'l' PLANS BILL FOR Group Musters Support for Measure During 1935 Legislature Penal and Welfare Officials Help By ARTHUR F. GRANT United Press Staff Correspondent HARRISBURO, Ph. (UP) Quietly but none the less thoroughly, sterili zation advocates are mustering sup port throughout Pennsylvania r for a sterilization measure to be introduc ed at 'the 1835 session of the state legislature. Led by a group of Philadelphia and Delaware county physicians, the ad vocates are obalnlng indorsements and promises of support for the measure from women's clubs, medical associations- and civic groups. Already more than a score of such Indorsements have been obtained, the advocates claimed. Similar Measure A similar measure Introduced ' at the regular 1033 session of the state legislature died In the public health and sanitation committee of the sen ate because, according to Its sponsor, Msx Aron, Philadelphia, too much other business was before .the as sembly. Penal and welfare officials of the state indicated support of the bill recently at a welfare meeting In Lan caster, .holding that sterilization of diseased persons and mental defect ives Is necessary to slow up the mounting rosters of Jails and welfare Institutions. At present no law axlsts in Penn sylvania either for or against steril ization. The proposed bill ststes: "Human experience has demonstrated that heredity plays an Important part, in tho transmission of Insanity, Idiocy, imbecility and epilepsy." Terms of Bill Its terms provide thst the luperln. tendent of a state or licensed institu tion for mental defectives and dis eased persons may, when two disin terested and legally qualified physi cians and surgeons agree, authorize a sexual sterilization, provided that, before such an operation Is perform ed, written notice shall be served 14 days in advance on the person in tended for the operation. In the cases of children under 10, such notices will be served on their parents. Persons designated for sterilization, or their parents, or guardians, may appeal to the courts of common pleas from carrying out of the operation, the courts bctng authorized under the proposed law to sustain or set aside the authorization. The law Is modeled after an act passed In California In July, 1917. ror Garden t.uwing Tel. 01S-J. OF GRANTS PASS. July 20. (6pl.)
