today approved new rate schedules and $14.50 at damsite. The kilowatt ONE YEAR AGO—

able districts, cities, utilities and in­
dustries to buy power to meet their
immediate needs. For the past two
months the commission has been
studying proposals for monthly and
dump power sales, which are intend­
ed to encourage early utilization of
nearly all power available at Bonne­
ville Dam.
Most important of the new sched­
ules submittes by Acting Adminis­
trates F. A. Banks permits purchase
of power on a monthly basis at a
cost of one-quarter cent per kilo­
watt hour, plus a demand charge of
75 ments per month per kilowatt.
This schedule is designed especially
to meet the requirements of smaller
districts, such as Hood River, which
are likely to operate at a low load
factor at first.
A considerable number of dis­
tricts and cities, as well as private
utilities have been awaiting appro­
val of the new monthly schedules.
By allowing these systems to take
the power they need from month
to month, the schedules will permit
most economic utilization of exist­
ing generating facilities. Most of
the municipal electric systems in
Oregon and Washington already
have hydro or diesel plants and are
asking for Bonneville power to meet
their peak requirements.
The schedules approved by the
commission retain with slight chan­
ges the uniform rate o£ $17.50 per
kilowatt year for firm power every-

Men demonstrated greater driver
reaction speed than women in the
reaction tests conducted 'by the
secretary of state’s office at the
Oregon state fair this year, it was
announced today. The tests were
made by the reactometer, an in­
strument which registers the elapsed
time between the recèipt of a
signal and the application of
the brakes.
Forty percent of the 1,499 men
whose reaction time was recorded
registered three-fourths of a sec­
ond while only 17 per cent of the
608 women tested hit this mark.
This is considered the average re­
action time. Thirty-nine per-cent of
both sexes hit seven-eights of a
second, but while 40 per Cent of
the women reacted in a full sec­
ond, only 10 per cent of the men
required this time. One woman and
two men made three-eights of a
second, 13 men and one woman
reacted in one-half second and
126 men and 15 women scored
five-eights of a second. The re­
actometer was maintained at the
booth operated by the secretary
of state and the state highway
department.
