Commissioner
Gives Warning
Laws 1935, took steps to insure
that all devices offered for sale
in Oregon were so constructed that
they would be safe under all con
ditions. After holding hearing» to
which we invited engineers and
doctors from our state colleges as
well as all others in the state who
were interested, together with rep
resentatives of the various manu
facturers, rigid specifications for
the manufacture of these devices
were adopted and all manufacturers
were required to submit stock
models of their devices for tests.
This move spread throughout the
country and our specifications with
some additions have been adopted
for the nation by the U. S. Bureau
df Standards, the Underwriters’
Laboratories, Inc. and by a number
of states through action of their
legislature.
The Oregon law prohibits the sale
of unapproved electrical devices and
provides severe penalties for violat
ors, but no punishment by a court
can equal the remorse that must be
elt by the young man who con
structed the device that caused thé
ueath of this innocent child.
All devices that have been ap
proved for sale and use in Oregon

We again wish to issue the follow
ing warning to all prospective user*
of electric fence equipment. Do not
try to construct your own unit. You
may be responsible for the death of
a neighbor or a member of your
own family. Drawings and instruc
tions taken from magazines are not
to be trusted. Purchase only those
devices bearing the approval label
cif this department or the Under
writers’ Laboratories, Inc. If you
are offered a unit that is not so
approved, report it at once to the
Bureau of Labor, Salem, Oregon.

Easter Lily in Bloom—
A report this week makes known
the unusual fact that Mrs. Carl
Hedman now has an Easter lily

The beloved American tradition
of “music in the parlor” is due for
a revival as a result of a new-
musical instrument for the home
which adds singing tones resemb
ling orchestral instruments to the
brilliant percussive tones of the
piano. Called the solovox by its
inventor, Laurens Hammond, who
also invented the electric organ,
it is designed as a musical sup
plement to the piano, and is.so
easy to play that even the “one-
finger” pianist can produce sat
isfactory music on it.
Operated entirely by electricity,
the solovox never needs to be
tuned. A miniature keyboard of
three octaves, it is attached to the
piano so that the player’s right
hand Can span both the solovox

and piano keys simultaneously. A
tone cabinet containing the elec
trical equipment is mounted
underneath a grand piano or
alongside a vertical piano.
The solovox produces tones sug
gesting Hutes, strings, brasses or
woodwinds, and while the player’s
right hand carries the melody on
the solovox, the left hand accom
panies on the piano, simulating
a eluet of two instruments. The
player uses tone selectors on the
front of the solovox in various
combinations to get hundreds of
exciting new tonercolors. For
children as well as amateur adult
pianists the new instrument makes
ewen the simplest music sound
exciting, and its versatility is
equally satisfying to more pro
ficient players.
