$oAdan
Mr, J. Is undoubtedly correct
when he suspects that saying the
blood count is low probably refers
to the number of red blood cor
puscles. There are about five million red
cells in a measured small amount
of blood called a cubic millimeter.
There are about 700 white cells
in the same amount of blood. Both
kinds of cells are counted under
a microscope. If the red cells
are far below normal, anemia is
present.
The kind of anemia and deter
mination of its severity also re
quires examination of the coloring
matter of hemoglobin.
By putting the results of the
examination of the red cells and
of the hemoglobin together and by
staining thin films of blood on a
glass slide and looking at it under
the microscope, doctors can tell
what forms of anemia are present.
The white cells are also impor
tant both their numbers and
other characteristics. There may
be too few white cells and this is
not a good sign if infection is
present in the body. The number
of white cells is usually increased
in infections and in some other
conditions.
The number of white cells pres
ent, for example, is helpfull in
making a diagnosis of acute ap
pendicitis. The white cells are in
creased and are abnormal In other
ways in leukemia.
There are many other things
which the blood can show about
the condition of the body. With
out them many diseases would re
main undiagnosed or improperly
treated.

Fat Content
In Milk Cut
PORTLAND i.fl Milk will be
thinner and Its fixed minimum
price will be higher in three East
ern Oregon Counties under milk
marketing orders announced Tues
day by the State Board of Agri
culture. The orders affect Baker, Union
and Malheur Counties.
In Baker and Union Counties the
butterfat content of milk will be
reduced from the maximum of 3.
per cent to 3.6. The less-rich milk
Will sell at not less than 20 cents
at the wholesale level and 23 at
retail. That is a one-cent boost.
Producers are to receive an eight
cent increase per pound of butter
fat from 04 cents to S1.02 and will
get 12.18 per hundredweight for
miik compared with the $2 they
now receive. The order goes into
effect July 1.
In Malheur County the butterfat
content of milk will be reduced
from 4.3 per cent to 3.6 and the
minimum price will go up 2 cents
to 19 cents a quart wholesale and
21 cents retail, it has been selling
at 18 and 20. Producers prices were
set at 84 cents a pound for butter
fat and 32 a hundred weight for
milk.
The new orders also provide that
marketing quotas are to be deter
mined by a formula using figures
of milk poundage and butterfat
production. Heretofore, allocations
have been determined solely on
the basis of butterfat poundage.

Democrat. He didn't say openly
At the same time he said he'd
accept a "clear-cut call to duty"
meaning the presidency but In
sisted he wouldn't quit his Job in
Europe to run for it. When he
later resigned, he said his Job in
Europe was done.
Meanwhile, knowing what time
means In lining up delegates for
the convention. Eisenhower's cam
paign manager. Sen. Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts, started
the drive for him last November.
The high-speed speechmaking
Taft has been doing since Inst
October is onlv a stepped-up ver
sion of what he's been doing for
years. His face, his voice and his
attitudes have long been known.
You like him or you don't, you
agree or you don't.
Not so with Elsenhower. Except
for some speeches he made while
he was president of Columbia Uni
versity, . Eisenhower's Ideas on
doings at home were unknown to
most people. He didn't talk on
domestic stuff while In uniform.
All of these things, in the end,
mav win him the Republican nom
ination and the presidencv. And
mavbe they won't. Now that he's
back he's working hard for the
nomination although six months
ago he said he wouldn't.
When he held his first news con
ference at Abilene. Kans.. two
weeks ago some of his advisers
were Jittery until It was over. Then
thev said thev felt he did fine.
The conference came one day
after his first political speech,
which wasn't unanimously consid
ered fine around the country. El
senhower had help on that one.
Mavbe he fell he couldn't do worse
If he had no hem at all.
At any rate in his Detroit speech
Saturdav he took pains to sav he
had torn up all the things that
had been written for him to say
and would Just go on his own.

State May
Own Frats
PORTLAND Wl The Stale
Board of Higher Education would
become the landlord of fraternities
and sororities under a plan pro
posed bv Dr. Harry K. Newburn,
president of the University of Ore
gon. Newburn suggested Tuesdny at
a meeting of the board that the
state build fraternity houses and
lease or rent them.
He said living organizations at
the University were finding it
Impossible to build and Increasing
ly difficult to maintain buildings.
To ease the situation, he sug
gested that the board lend Its
credit for bonds to pav for half the
construction costs, with gifts pay
ing for the other half.
He pointed out that more dona
tions could be expected under the
plan because the gifts could be
deducted from income tascs.
He said that If the plan were
adopted, the board eventually
would have to take over all living
organisations and that would
amount to a considerable Invest
ment. Some arrangement would have
to be found to compensate the
towns of Eugene and Corvallls for
the taxes they would lose If the
fraternity and sorority houses be
came state-owned and therefore
withdrawn from the city tax rolls,
he said.
Chancellor Charles D. Byrne
said the board wanted to study
the proposal more fully and sug
gested that It be put In writing.
The board's building committee
postponed until Aug. 13 the bid
opening dale for the proposed
teaching hosnltal at the University

tne spun of her. though, tha
very essence of this woman, Is
so strong that It breathes Iron)
every corner of their home.
Indeed, the old house Is a perfect
self-porlrall, something l made
and colored forever with the rich,
deep shades o( personality.
Her niece, Mrs. Ray Etheiiiiiilnn,
still lives up the road a way. She
cans ner "Aunt ina."
"She must have been very
strong," I said, "as a person."
"Blie was," Mrs. Kthrrltuilon
said. "Of them all, Aunt Ida was
the most vivid, the dominant one.
Of course, you wouldn't think It
to look at her."
In the photographs of ner as a
young woman, her chin Is sum!!
and pointed. Theio is n llrmnesa
about her mouth, and yet tlw
faintest shadow ol a smile, too
Her hair is thick and It looks
dark in the picture. In her eyes,
there Is that sumo Intlmutlon ol
a smile, something lelt rutlicr than
seen.
Her eyebrows ate high and (lurk,
and they give her uii arch, knowing
expression.
This expression must have been
very marked on her Inco when she
pretended not to notice that the
boys had taken her bread dough
from the old Pennsylvania Dutch
dough tray In the kltchrn, rolled
It Into balls and were playing catch
behind her buck.
And all her life she pretended
not to recognise tho nickname.
"Ike." although every one of the
boys and not Dwlght, alone
was known as "Ike" at one time
or another. "Ike?", she would say,
sweetly. "Who Is Ike?"
She was an Intensely religious
woman. The family Bible, with the
names of her sons and their birth
dates, lies open In the living room.
In the book shelves are fallen
editions ol "Blblo Studies." "Our
Beacon Light." "The Life ot
Christ." and "Religious Denomina
tions." Framed mottos from the Bible
hong above the two brass bra
steads In the room she kept for
herself and her husbuud.
All this Is Just as II was when
she went away for the last lime.
Except for one thing, and tills
Is a thing she would not have
permitted. If she had been there
because she never allowed things
to lay around. Her wedding dress,
or white silk and lace, lies dia
gonally across her bed lor visitors
to see.
It Is a site 9. She was a small
woman.
Yet, she maintained a home for
five boys and a man. bv herself.
She made some o( their clothes
on the sewing machine In the bed
room, handled the family washing,
baked her own bread and pies,
and stirred up cauldrons 01 a
mysterious dish called "pudding
meat." The way ol molting it
acems to have been lost.
"And so Aunt Ido never was able
to go out very much." says Mrs.
Ethcrlnglon. "She was always at
home. I don't think she wanted to
to away from the house."
She had an egg - worming dish
In the kitchen, with four holders
for the eggs, but she used It to
keep her money In. The siuoll
household expenses were paid out
of this dish.
"Later in life." her son said,
at Abilene, "I learned that we were
very poor."
They may have lacked for money,
at times, but their home was a
treasure house of good living, for
warmth and comfort and books and
music she tried, to teach each
of the five boys the piano and
especially of a woman's loving
care.
It Is all there today. And so
Is she.

Because of the way Hi" lss"f

America's air power has been
plunged Into the thick ol polities.
This Is unfortunate, slnco tho
strategic aspects ought lo tran

dlsrusslou by asserting that our
only safe course Is lo create olr
strength "Mifllclent lo control tho
air over Ihls eounliy, over the
oceans which miitouikI this con
tinent nntl able to deliver atom
bombs on nuxHlon cities. "
He feels that America's "land
generals'' have blocked the adop
tion ol audi a uollcy. He clearly
believes that proper oliess upon
air ikiwer will do awuy with the
need for a large land force and
that the net result will bo sounder
and cheaper military security.
Now there Is probably not n
competent "land general" In this
country who would deny the domi
nant role of air power In any
future war. And certainly Ihe air
generals would like to see a vast
expansion ot their forces for both
olfeiiMve and defensive use.
Bill It Is also likely Ihot no
qualified olr general believes thai
even Ihe happiest enlargement of
air power he can envisage would
