(U.R) Women of the Southland are going back to their needles. Nobody seems to be able to offer a good reason, but each week the Items on society pages of small-town newspapers about activities of sewing circles, cro- cheting and knitting parties, and quilting bees are showing a marked Increase. In some cases. sewing news takes up more space than do bridge parties. Bridge clubs are being con verted into sewing clubs, and each week in many homes where card tables have been unfolded for the day quilting frames are being lowered from living room ceilings and the "bridge" clubs go to work. Next day, the mem bers assemble in the home of another hostess. Knitting, which was resur rected several years ago, isn't losing any popularity. Business men are showing to their office help scarves, saying proudly: "My wife did that. Good, isn't she?" And chances are that the wife had more fun making the articles than he does showing them off. Baby in the park is dressed from head to toe in knitted garments that are warm and colorful clothing that will be kept by many mothers as some thing by which to remember them long after they are mar ried and knitting clothes for their own off-spring, The quilting going on through out the southern states today differs little from that done by grandmothers. About the only innovation Is the safety razor blade to cut thread. Grandma, you know, bit the thread in two. E GO ONE BY ONE San Francisco, (U.R) With the recent sale of the Star of Finland, to be used hereafter as a refrigerator and storage plant, there passed out from the Golden Cate the last of the famous; fleet of square-rigged windjammers, which once proudly sailed the Pacific, and with It the last trace of a klmzlv dream for a mighty Pacific em pire. The Star of Finland, sister ship of a whole fleet of other Star ships, was built on the or. der of King Kalakua of Ha waii, and bore the name of Kai- ulanl. It was the dream of KIna Kalakua to combine the various South Sea island monarchies Into one vast empire, of which ne would be the head. His plan embraced the bulM Ing of a merchant marine that would send its ships Into all parts of the world and which would be greater than any other fleet In the world. But the grandiose srhpmp failed through lack of co-onera- Hon and vision on the part of me omer soutn Sea kings and monarens. Then King Kalakua died. Were Men Fairbanks.

Salem (U.R) Eternal vigi lance is required of the state department of agriculture to protect the public from harmful and adulterated foods, short weights and dishonest or care less manufacturers. The duties of the department Include everything from formu lating marketing agreements to chemical analysis of extracts placed on the market in Oregon. The Inspectors of the depart ment save the Oregon consumer many-thousands of dollars each year by their ceaseless search. Recent examples of their activ ities follow: Department chemists discov ered that Oregon housewives were paying. 23 cents a bottle for lemon extract that was mere ly colored water with a slight odor of lemon. They immedi ately stopped the manufacture of the extract, which was pro duced by an Oregon company, and warned retailers to be more careful of what they offered for sale. No Reprocessing The department also warned retailers and wholesalers that , Oregon law does not permit the sale of reprocessed or re conditioned dates, raisins, cur rants or other dried fruits. The state regulations class 'such treatment of these foods as adulteration and prohibit any method of reconditioning them for market. The department's new weights and measures truck on its re cent tour through southern and eastern Oregon discovered 31 heavy duty scales which were faulty, Some of the scales were off as much as 390 pounds on two tons, and most of the faulty weights were In favor of the operators of the scales. Bees Checked The revised figures of Ore gon's dried prune production for the season just passed show that 22,407 tons were handled In the 491 driers found to be operating. The department's prune drier Inspectors, on the job to see that all sanitary regulations were observed, re ported this . production to the department headquarters. Switching to bees, the depart ment reported that the Amer ican foul brood In Oregon bee colonies inspected in 1939 dropped to 3.8 per cent com pared to 9.2 per cent for the previous year.
