By Eugen Burnt Ringer-Naturalist Tokyo, with Japan Air Lines At a Japanese teahouse in which we had chickens killed and dressed that morning and prepared in more than 20 delic ious ways, my hosts Tony Sen da and his assistant Jerry Mit- suhashi of Japan Air Lines, gave me the Japanese equiva lent I could muster, dealing ' with the outdoors. It shows, perhaps, how closely the think ing of cpne country's people par allels anothers. Here is a loose translation ef the Japanese proverbs with their English equivalents liber ally rendered: Clams are not obtainable from the field: One cannot get blood from a turnip. "Whejt hungry, all tastes delic ious: Hunger is the best sauce. Where there is no fire, there is no smoke:. Where ther is smoke, there is fire. You cannot catch a slippery fish with a gourd: Slippery as an eel. ! A new servant works hard but 20 days: A new broom ' sweeps clean. In haste, one goes in a circle: Haste makes waste. Snakes follow the way of ser pents: Set a thief to catch a thief. Crabs dig holes according to their size: Cut your coat accord ing to the cloth. Dyens wear undyed trousers: Shoemaker's children go bare foot. Rice cakes are best made by the rice-cake maker: A shoe maker to his last. Give gold coins to a cat: Cast your pearls before a swine. Have an umbrella ready be fore you get wet: Make hay while the sun shines. The same kind always gather together: Birds of a feather flock together. It is darkest at the foot of a lighthouse': Just below the candlestick is the darkest of all. ' Don't count your badger skins before they are caught:' Don't count your chickens before they are hatched. As alike as a cucumber cut in half:, As alike as two peas in a pod. As fooliSh as to teach a monk ey to climb a tree: To teach your grandmother -to suck eggs. If you do not enter the tiger's den you cannot get her cubs: Nothing ventured, nothing gain ed. Spilt water never returns to the tray: It's no use crying over spilt milk. A dried bonito to a cat: Set a fox to watch the geese. Blind men do not fear snakes: Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

Modern Highways Said Money Saying Recent highway improve ments in Oregon have resulted in considerable dollar savings to Oregon motor vehicle owners, according to a recent study con ducted by highway department engineers. The survey showed round trip savings of $3.90 from The Dalles to Portland and $1.16 be tween LaGrande and North Powder on US Highway 30; sav ings of 53.02 per round trip be tween Eugene and Roseburg, and $2.96 from Portland to Salem on US Highway 99; and a round trip saving of $2.48 per round trip between Port Orford and Gold Beach on US Highway 101. The savings are in time, gas, oil, and wear and tear on the vehicle now compared to cost of traveling the same highways before freeways were constructed. The new freeway between Portland and Salem cuts travel ing time required for a round trip by an hour, according to the Oregon State Motor association. Modern automobiles average about 125,000 miles before they are considered ready for tho auto graveyards.
