Wilber Henderson, former chairman
of the Multnomah county republican
t.hA rvt. conducted with two forms central committee and first state
of bacteria, one of which causes ty- executive commander of the American
phoid fever and the other scarlet
fever.
He irradiated these by means of
small needles containing radium. As
a result the typhoid bacteria showed
the "formation of giant forms and
long filaments." When the radium
treatment was continued over many
generations, the new forms tended to
persist when transplanted, even
though the radium needle was with
drawn. New Germ Forms Made.
By Irradiating tne scarlet fever
germ, Dr. Spencer developed new
forms of germs distinct in every
major respect from the parent.
Dr. Spencer believes gamma rays
from radium affect the nucleus of a
. bacterial cell, sometimes producing a
"variant" form which will return to
the original form from which it
sprang, but sometimes a "mutation"
which persists.
His results apparently were in line
with the belief of many scientists
that radium radiations from the
earth, which go on constantly, have
produced many of the new species of
life which have devloped la evolu
tion. Because the new bacteria showed a
vigor unknown in the parent, their
' possible role in causing disease epi
demics was suggested.
Legion, was born in Illinois in 1887.
He attended the University of Wash
ington law school, later graduating
from the University of Oregon, and
served in the Oregon legislature In
1926 and 1927. He served in the world
war and in the Mexican border expe
dition. Henderson is a Portland attorney.

SLIDING SCALE USED
BY YOUNG IN JUDGING
DEGREES OF WRONGS
EVANSTON, 111. (UP) Youngs
ters consider It a more serious ol
fense to "swipe" flowers from a
public park than to steal movie
tickets from a cashier, according to
a "morals" test made by Dr. John
C. Eberhart of Northwestern uni
versity's psychology department.
Dr. Eberhart discovered in the
answers to a questionnaire that
offenses against corporate property
hurt the conscience of young boys
worse than those of their older play
! mates.
Results of the stmly showed that
before the age of 8, boys start with
a tendency to seize whatever catches
their fancy. Dr. Eberhart said. Boys
in grammar school decide between 1
the seriousness of offenses more ,
quickly than do high school pupils.
Younger boys, he explained, are
impulsive in Judgment. Older boys
make their "conscience", an intel
lectual task.
"It becomes less serious for the
growing boy to ride on the street
car for half-fare when he should
pay full; to steal candy and cig
arcts from a box-car; and to sneak
past the 'L' cashier without pay
ing." Dr. Eberhart said.
The gravity of offenses listed in
the psychologist's 20 questions va
ried from "swiping your mother's
wrist watch and pawning it" to
"borrowing your brother's baseball
bat without asking."
Young boys and delinquents give
fear of punishment as the reason
for not being bad, but those further
developed realize the evil of their
acts, and give Varied reasons for
their Judements. Dr. Eberhart said.
In summary, the Inquiry showed
the seriousness of property offenses
seems to be based on the value ot
the property Involved, the nature of

Wealthy movie actresses now, the
Dlonne quintuplets don't need pres

Yuletide but the gifts are expected
to start rolling In soon. ;
Like other children, rich or poor,
the five little sisters will be glad to
see them, too. !
So far there has been no shower j
of presents. Perhaps there will be
fewer than last Christmas when the I
girls were only seven months old. ;

clothes and furnishings for their
home.
No Presents Yet
Dr. Allan Roy Da Foe. their phy
sician, said today no presents had
been received but Christmas Is still
two weeks away. Plans for the holi
day at the hospital have not yet
been made the quints have been
busy movie-making but they are
sure to Include at least one Christ
mas tree and perhaps Dr.DaFoe will
dress up In a white beard and red
Santa Claus suit again.
Mr. and Mrs. Ollva Dlonne, the
babies' parents, probably will be In
vited to the hospital for Christmas
dinner and It Is likely they will
bring along their five older children
to see the quintuplets.
Older Children Barred
Mrs. Dlonne said recently the older
youngsters had not seen their sisters
since last Christmas. They are not
allowed In the same room with the
famous children because they might
bring them colds and they dislike
watching through a window, she
said.
Yvonne. Annette. Ceclle, Emtlle and
Marie are still too young to have
letters to Santa Claus written for
them because they can't talk to say
what they want. But toys of all
sorts, particularly dolls, delight them.
Last year they received many
clothes, including hand sewn gar
ments obviously sent by persons who
could Ill-afford the money spent on
them. With a fortune of $200,000 or
more now. the quints are able to
buy their own frocks.

all pickups, light city deliveries and
trailers are required to pay a double

hundreds of complaints to the state
department from owners of this type

The law was changed by the regu- j
tar 1035 legislature and becomes ef- i
fective for all cars after January 1,
1036. for which licenses will be is- j
sued beginning Saturday. The change, j
tt was authentically reported, was I
made without the recommendation of
Earl Snell. secretary of state. I
Oflclals stated that trailers, wheth
er commercial or private trailers used
for camping and other such purposes,
were subject to the added $10 fee.
In reply to the complaints, Snell
has Informed owners of all types of
pickups with a combined weight of
4.000 pounds or under, that as an
added administrative officer he had
no authority to deviate from the pro
visions of the raw. The only vehicle
