Passing of any well known and public- spirited citizen is always an occasion for mourning, but in the demise of Judge H. L. Hasbrouck, Hood River seemed to feel it had lost more than a citizen, more than an experi enced county judge. For Judge Hasbrouck was a friend. His fine record as a public official is recog nized. In this he/ was of a distinct service to his community, and the remuneration of the office he filled is small. His reputation as a business man and a professional man in the enterprise he conducted here will not soon be forgotten. Judge Hasbrouck was a man of integrity. 6ut while we recognize the virtue of the splendid works he performed, somehow it seems that the personality of this native O re gonian is the element that will linger longest in the memories of people here. He had poise, he had personality, he had determination. He reflected the decision and the vigor of the pioneer stock from which he came. Judge Hasbrouck was a man of character. And what finer tribute could be paid than The History of Oregon's" comment in the biography of Judge Hasbrouck, when it states: 1 hroughout his life he has measured up to the highest standards of American manhood and citizenship and enjoys the unqualified re gard of all who know him.” Judge Hasbrouck was a gentleman. FRIDAY. JANUARY 21. 193« TH E BONNEVILLE DAM CHRONICLE W H A T CAUSES ’EM Motorists who wonder what causes the greatest number of accidents might try listen ing to Chief Flynn, for 30 years a traffic offi cer on the Chicago police department. He lists the causes in this order: First, speed; second, booze; third, horns, and fourth, care lessness. It probably will not surprise the average motorist to learn that most mishaps are the result of speed, though many had come to believe that booze had edged into first place within the past year or so. But few :an realize that the horn—held by many ex perts to be am almost unnecessary part of the car—is responsible for so many deaths. Flynn explains that horns confuse both the very young and the very old, and they rush in front of a car instead of away from it. His entire list is interesting and worthy of study, and that part referring to the horn especially. Every motorist should think that over. EX PEN SIV E RATS . Estimates of government agents place the rat population of the U. S. at close to a bil lion, with an annual food bill of from $250,- 000,000 to $1,000,000,000. Since each indi vidual supports from two to four rats and that number of rats eat as much as an ordinary cat, the actual expense of maintaining our country's rat population is realized. It is estimated that a good dead rat is worth at least $2 to any community. In addition to the vast quantities of food consumed, rats de stroy annually millions of dollars worth of fabrics and furnishings, books and records, to say nothing of buildings rendered uninhab itable by their unwelcome presence. The rat has a gnawing mechanism that rivals the best carpenter’s bit, and in some instances has been known to master even soft brick work and lead pipes. Steel, iron, cement and glass, how ever, are immune to its destructive habits. The mysterious dissappearance of valuable papers, and the actual maceration qf paper money traced to rats will reach the millions annually. I he worst thing that can be done for per sons seriously injured in automobile accidents is to bundle them into a private car and rush them off to a hospital, Dr. Fred Strieker of the University of Michigan advises. Bone and skull fractures are frequently aggravated by quick or unskilled handling. W hen an am bulance can be called, first aid should be lim ited chiefly to keeping the patient warm and halting profuse bleeding. If no other trans portation is available, the patient may be car ried to a hospital in the bed of a truck, pro vided broken bones have been splinted and the patient is kept warm.
