Assisted By State Chamber of Commerce Thinks Some Engineers Weak on Traffic Rules Here are some of the things the state chamber of commerce has done: Land settlement work: Total families located in Oregon, 4,- 289; total investments made by these families, $17,872,878.50. Unquestionably the work of the state chamber has created a more friendly feeling throughout the state and brought about a greater state spirit and loyalty. The organization has pubjished regularly “Oregon Business," giving facts and information on the state. The state chamber now main tains a Los Angeles office which directs tourists and prospective settlers to Oregon. During the past summer this office handled more than 5000 visitors. This office is also carryipg on a pro gram of interesting large capita yr in the undeveloped natural re sources of .the state. The state chamber ha3 carried on a concentrated national adver tising campaign that has assisted immeasurably in the results of its Inna settlement work. The state chamber has worked hand in hana with the railroad immigration departments in ac complishing results in this field of work. The state chamber has carried on in connection with the estab lished agencies extension work that has proven decidedly bene ficial to all parts of Oregon. The state chamber has worked with scores of the cities in the state in the matter of airports and commercial aviation. (In answer to editorial in the Eagle of January 30, concerning traffic at the railroad crossing.) It seems that the car and bus drivers are getting all the criti cism and rightfully deserve 90 per cent of it. In my estimation, .this grey hair stuff can work two ways. What about the bus driver who stops at the railroad crossing to let the engine cross. After a minute or so the track is clear. Then the traffic whicn has accumulated starts acr.oss the track toward town. Then the railroad engine suddenly reverses and starts back. Who is going to get the grey hair in this instance? This experience happened to me, Elmer Bergerson, driving a school bus on Bridge street in Vernonia, witnessed by Mrs. E. Bergerson and Mrs. J. A. Mc- Donald. In this case if the engineer knew his traffic rules I think he would let what traffic had accumulated have the right-of- way. In close margins of this kind the driver will sprout grey hair also, as well as his passen- gers. Place the stop sign at the crossing, but have the railroad engineers read Oregon traffic rules.

Doctor Analyzes Food Value of White Bread In 5; digestion trials with both hard spring wheats and soft win ter wheats, in which six samples of wheat have been milled so as to produce the three types of flour—graham, entire wheat, and straight grade—uniform results have been secured, and Tn HI 1 of the comparative trials the largest amounts of available nutrients and energy have been secured from the white flour. In the three digestion trials in which finely pulverized bran was add ed to the white flour in the same proportion as is removed in mill- ing, it was found that the addi- tion of the bran lowered the di gestibility of the flour, so that a ¡mailer amount of digestible nu trient and available energy was obtained from the '.yta flour than from the white flour with which the bran was mixed. The late Professor Snyder, fa mous dietician, was convincin-,'y in favor of white bread and the present day system of milling. Milk, as has been emphasized by many investigators, is especially desirable as an accompaniment' to bread, as, besides supplying the necessary vitamin, it remed ies the deficiency of lime, one of the main effects of cereals which is not overcome to any ap preciable extent by whole wheat meal and such like flours. The Vernonia Bakery points out that Professor Snyder was for many years chief chemist of the Russell Miller Milling com pany, manufacturers of Occident flour. It was largely through Professor Snyder’s vigilance in testing wheat, checking the mill ing process and other important details of flour manufacture that the high standard of Occident was established. The principles and practice of checking wheat and milling Occident flour are used throughout the 13 mills of the Russell-Miller Milling com- pany. Occident flour is used by the Vernonia Bakery. Bread offered by the Vernonia Bakery is made in a spotless shop that parallels your own kit chen in cleanliness. The food value of this quality loaf, when measured in calories or energy units, equals two pounds of steak, four pints of milk or 15 eggs. Yet bread costs but a fraction of what you pay for these other foods.

Request Left City Manager Guessing The city manager stepped out of the City hall and started towards his office. A man carrying two heavy grips addressed hint.

MUSEUM DIRECTOR LAUDED IN FAR EAST Mrs. Murray Warner Attends Institute of Pacific Rela tions Sessions. i University of Oregon, Eugene.— Warm praise for the contribution made by Mrs. Murray Warner, di rector of The Oregon Museum of Fine Arts, to the Institute of Pa cific Relations confetence held re cently in Kyoto, Japan, was sound ed by returning delegates at a spe cial meeting of representatives ot the American group be.d in San Francisco, it is reported by Dr. Ai- nold Bennett Hall, president of the University ot Oregon. Dr. Hall haa just retui ted treat " la Francisco, where be attended the session. He is a mem ar of the exert,ive cm mittee and the board of ..<rector8 oi the Ameri an sectlo... and is also a member 0.’ the educa iou committee of this Ii.,portant li.r«rnatlonal or ganizatioii.

Returning delegates were entbus lastlc over the work that was done by the Institute at the Kyoto con ference. The Japanese. Chinese. English, Canadian and American groups were especially abie. It is declared. Prominent Japanese In formed dele:,ales that the steal u advanced the cause of liberalism In Japan by at least 10 years, and greatly helped to clear up the in ternational situatlou In that section of the world. This statement was made at the session in San Fran cisco by Chester Rovcll, nationally known publicist, who took a prom inent part in the work In Kyoto. The next session ot the> Institute will be held In China, in a city to be designated later, Dr. Hall said, it is felt that the frank and fear- Ir^s searching for farts Whmh la the object of the group can best be pur sued in the region where the most problems arise. While in California Dr. Hal! also conferred with educators at Stan- lord and the University ot Califor nia before returning to the campus here. A clever young advertising ex pert, naked whether the men she met seemed to resent the competi tion of women, answered: "It’s largely a question of snlnry.
