GOOD RECORD SET I
FOR FIRE DAMAGE
ON ROGUEJOREST
Only 68 Blazes Reported in
Comparison With Average
of 94 But 14 Caused
by Man Loss Is Small
Girls Community Club Is Outstanding
One of the most favorable lira
records In lta history was estab
lished this year on the Rogue River
National forest, statistics at head
quarters here today showed.
Sixty-eight fires were reported and
extinguished this season In compari
son with an average of 84. the rec
ords disclosed. Of the 68 fires only
two burned over areas In excess of
- lo acres and no merchantable tim
ber was lost. One hundred and four
teen acres within the Rogue protec
tive area, a large portion of which
was grassland, were burned over,
but damage was negligible.
Of the 68 fires, 54 were caused by
lightning. Only 14. or about ao per
cent, were man-caused, the records
show. This represents a decrease ot
13 per cent In the number of man
caused fires over last year's figures.
Service Is Grateful.
"Thla showing Is very gratifying
to the forest service." said H. C.
Obye, assistant supervisor of the
Rogue river national forest. "It Is an
Indication of the public's apprecia
tion of the value of the forests to
the community and the nation.
"In addition to the greater cau
tion shown by the public, other lac
tors contributing to the splendid
record were the comparatively short
fire season, generally favorable wea
ther conditions and the season-long
training program carried on witn
the members of our protective or
i ganlzstlon. In our protective program
' the CCC played a very Important
part."

Western Auto Has
Fall Festival Of
Motoring Specials
- Coming at a time when motorists
ire equipping their cars lor winter
driving, the fall festival of valuea.
now In progress at the Western Auto
Supply company. Is a most timely
event, declares Charles Prltchett,
local manager ot the firm. Be states
that scores of reduced prices pre
sented In this event mean greater
savings for car owners on accessories,
tires, batteries and oil.
"One of the outstanding features
of the Fall Festival of Values Is the
special sale prices now In effect on
powerful Western Giant and Wizard
batteries. Of unsurpassed quality,
these batteries are built to meet the
increased drain of winter service
and extra electrical accessories," tne
Western Auto manager asserts, "Auto
lats have always enjoyed full value
for their money when buying these
batteries, and now the special re
duced prices make Western Olsnts
and Wizards unprecedented values
during this event.
"Economical motorists will also ap
preciate the extra aavlnga on West
ern Olant tires being offered during
the Fall Festival of Values," Prltchett
continues, "for It la a most oppor
tune time to replace old, worn tires
with new, safe-treaded ones at an
even greater aavlng than Western
Auto's regular low prices afford."
"Of scientific design to give great
er traction, longer tread wear and
extra blowout protection, Western
Olant tires set high standards 01
quality. Each tire sold la accom
panied by a long all road hazard
guarantee that Is backed by service
at all our more than 170 stores In
the west. These high standards 01
qusllty and long time guaranteea
have made Western Giant lavorltes
with hundreds of thousands of west
ern motorists, and their reputation
for greater value has spread until
today there are more than a million
of our tires giving dally satisfaction
In every sort of service.
"The current ssle event Is also
an Idoal time for automobile owners
to change to a winter grade of mo
tor oil. for special low prices will
prevail as long as the event Is ei
fectlve. Included In this event are
high grade lubricating oils espec
ially refined to our high standards
of quality. i
"Economical motorists who lnveati- I
gate our Fall Festival of Values win
not only appreciate the extra savings i
on tires, batteries and oil, but also i
those that prevail on many other
automobile accessories and supplies."

Music and Special Diet
Aid Egg Factory Output
By Aurellus Klmry
AP Feature Writer
CHICAQO "Oood morning folks
it'a time to get uj one, two, three,
stretch."
Radio setting up exercises start the
day for 8.500 leghorn hena producing
4,300 eggs a day In Chicago's down
town, lour-story egg factory.
Later In the day they get soothing
organ music; and that, says eggmaa
ter H. H. Bond, la the hen's delight
a great egg producer.
Scientific egg production In the
factory has proved such a success
that the managers are adding anoth
er battery of 3,000 hens to keep up
with orders.
Bond, an Englishman who began
"manufacturing" eggs In 1935, says
his method enables consumers to get
Just the color they want In an egg.
"Farm hens run around and eat
this and that In addition to their
regular feed." he says. "When they
eat too much green feed, the egg
yolks are dark. Consumers like light
colored yolks, and that Is what we
get here because we balance the diet.
"We give the hens a regulated mix
ture of dried milk, meat scraps and
green feed. We keep the protein
content at 15 percent, compared with
18 or' 20 per cent in the average
farm diet because our hens cannot
get as much exercise In their cages.
Once a week we give them grain
Impregnated with cod liver oil. This
substitutes for the sun our Indoor
hens do not get."
Life In an egg factory Is a snap
for the hen as long as sho rolls
out a minimum of 15 eggs a month.
If she slips, she is headed for the
butcher shop.
An egg, ns soon as It Is laid, rolls
Into a trough In front of the hen's
Individual "apartment" a wire cage
18 Inches high, 18 deep and 13 wide.
When collected. It Is credited to her
on her own scoreboard.
The apartments are arranged In
tiers 20 feet long and three stories
high, accommodating 60 hens to the
block. A trough supplies the cages
with running water. The hens get
their feed by sticking their heads
through the front doors and peck
ing from private bins. Special ap
paratus cleans beneath each tier
with the turn of a crank at the end
of the block.
Each floor of the egg factory has
Itc radio loudspeakers. Bond Insists
the hens not only like their music
but It keeps them healthy.
"Our records show," he says, "that
the hens closest to the loudspeakers
lay more consistently and have less
sickness than thoso farther from the
music."
PREFER MARBLE
PORTLAND, Oct. 15. (fl1) White
marble, Wilkinson sandstone or lime
stone will go Into the walls of the
new state library building In Salem,
the state capitol reconstruction com
mission decided In preparing to call
for bids on the material.
White marbel, while more expen
sive, was preferred because of Its
use in the main enpltol building now
under construction. Bids will be ask
ed on all three, however, and an al
ternative chosen should the cost of
the marble prove excessive.
As a necessary formal step, the
commission voted to accept a federal
grant of $450,000 for the library
structure.
The contract with Whltehouse &
Church. Portland architects, was ap
proved In final form.

"Yon won't have to wait for traffic Hgbta to
change when yon want to eroM Main Street in
I960," say a Mr. Geddea. "Conveniently located
nnderpaea will take you right aeroM without
a stop. , s
"Traffic going 10 blocks or more will speed
along 50 -mile -an -hour Express Streets con
nected hj ramps with a network of Local
Streets.
"These local streets will also be free from Inter-
ference from building-line to building-line.
. Open areas beneath buildings will provide
parking space.. loading platforms for trucks.
Pedestrians will use elevated sidewalks shop
and cross streets at the second-storr level."

Stop and Go
NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE, yon
average 30 stops a day . . . and one
stop can waste enough gasoline to drive
you S city blocks!
That's why stop and go is costly!
While traffic authorities are planning
"the City of Tomorrow," Shell engineers
have developed a fuel, Super-Shell, to
meet today's driving problem TODAY.
- They have found a way to rearrange
the chemical structure of gasoline ...
actually to balance it!
Automotive . engineers use the term
"motor-digestible" to describe Super.
Shell, because at all motor speeds it is
converted so QUICKLY, so COMPLETELY
into power.
The regular use of Super-Shell will
save money on yonr stop and go. There's
a Shell dealer near yon.
