A REVERED CITIZEN
Hood River County was saddened last
week. 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.

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.
