Lewis Ballard, and his younger brother Dick, practicing with his air rifle. Bob and Dick and their father are great pals— and crack shots too. Governor Martin will give his reply to the demand (or a special session of the legislature to consider more adequate pensions for the needy aged within the next few days. Unless Townsend leaders who have been working on the problem the past week succeed in evolving a program which will finance more generous pensions without adding to the present tax burden, it is a pretty safe bet that his answer will j be "no." The demand for the special ses sion was presented to the governor in the form of petitions containing more than 75.000 signatures Presen tation of th e petitions was made by a large delegation of Townsend leaders who prevailed upon the gov ernor to withhold any immediate decision and give them an opportun ity to work out a program that might meet with his approval. In an address before 500 Town- sendltes in Salem that night G ov ernor Martin expressed himself as in entire sympathy with the old age pension movement. Declaring that present pensions were entirely in adequate to meet the needs of the more aged the governor premised to go along with the sponsors of the more adequate pension pregram "to the limit that the traffic will bear." The governor, however, ex pressed his doubt as to the ability to enact a revenue measure to fin ance more generous pensions with out running counter to a referen dum which would tie the whole pro gram up until the next election. Townsend leaders who are spon soring the move for a special ses sion are confident that a “ trans- | action tax" would meet with the ap proval of the voters although to the layman it is difficult to distin guish between this tax and the sale! tax which has been defeated by de,- cisive majorities on three occasions in Oregon. —L — Approximately $1,100,000 a year 1: being saved by Oregon utility pat rons as the result of voluntary re ductions in rates filed by the^utll- itles during the past two years after a scries of “ friendly conferences” with the utilities department, ac cording to N. G. Wallace, public utilities commissioner. The most re cent of these voluntary rate reduc tions were announced this week by Frances Lee Barton says; H *T Valuations of railroads operating in Oregon have been increased by nearly $4,000,000, over 1936 figures while valuations of Oregcn power utilities have been "upped" by $1,- 829,037 15 the state tax commission announced this week. Valuation in creases among the power utilities ranged as high as 66 per cent in the case of the Port Orford Light and Power company. Hearings held by the tax commission, it was shown, revealed that the greatest improve ment in earnings during the past year was made by utilities operating in eastern and southern Oregon rather than by the larger utilities operating in the vicinity of Bonne ville dam. It was also developed at these hearings, the commissioners explained, that while gross earning: of the utilities generally have in creased net revenues would be little i f any higher than for 1936 becauss of increased operating costs includ ;ng higher wages and increased irices o f materials and supplies. Railroads generally reported serious reductions in their net earnings the commission said. —L — In case there may be some who have not been appraised of the fact It should be mentioned that this is "Be Kind to People’ week. Thats a new one for the "weeks" calendar, a strictly Oregon product. Governor Martin has requested that all cit izens of Oregon observe the week “ in a general spirit of kindly interest and oldfashipned neighborliness.” W A TE R HARM S RUBBER W ter is injurious to rubber and wet tires are more likely to be cut by sharp objects on the road, ac cording to the emergency road ser vice of the Oregon State Motor as sociation. Hunters who enter the fields of Oregon in search of China pheas ants during the open season can help to maintain or Increase the supply of birds for future years by taking the slight trouble to return any leg bands that may be found tn birds they kill to the state game commission, says A. S. Elnarsen, associate biologist of the Oregon Re search unit of the U. S. Biolcgical Survey, located at Oregon State Col lege. 20,000 Pheasants liberated The state game commission, which cooperates with the Biological Survey, the American Wild Life in stitute, and Oregcn State college In carrying on research work in this field, liberated some 20,000 pheas ants following the close of the hunt ing season last fall. This season they are anxious to learn just hew many of them are killed, how, where and when, Mr. Einarson says. Instruc- ions for returning the bands are simple, and are printed on each band. Leg Bands Returned Although this is the first hunting season since the birds were liberated several hundred leg bands have already been returned. Each band carries a number, and this, together with the name of the person who found it, the cause of its death, the date, and the place where it was found are recorded. Causes of Death Listed A checkup o f these records shows that man is indirectly responsible for most of the deaths so far. Auto mobiles have probably accounted for the greatest number, others nave met death through flying into telephone lines, buildings and other manmade structures. A few have frozen to death, some have starved to death, some have been killed by -a's or dogs, and others by preda tory birds or animals. Mr. Elnarsen has a perfect skeleton o f one bird killed by a horned owl, which labor- nously picks every particle of meat from the bones, without destroying the skeleton. The horned owl is a persistant killer of game birds. Banded Birds to be Turned I-oose This year the game cemmission plans to release another large flock of birds immediately after the close of the hunting season, all o f which will wear leg bands. Mr Elnarsan says, so that an even more complete survey c f the sltutatlon may be made made next year. Present members of the game commission are Dexter Rice, Rose- burg, chairman; E. E. Wilson, Cor vallis; Lew Wallace, Portland; Charles Reilly, Klam ath Falls, and George Aiken, Ontario, who are anxious to obtain as complete infor mation as possible on the birds rear ed and released by the commission. OSC STU D E N T OFFRS CURE FO R M IG R AN E HEADACHES C O R V A LLIS —That the “ water balance" in a person’s body may be the key to prevention of mlgrane or nervous sick headache is the theory advanced by Frank Thompson, graduate student in chemistry at Oregon State college, who recently reported his experiments and con clusions on this subject to the Ore gon section of the American Chem ical Society at its meeting in Port land. Studies Own Case When informed about eight years ago that this malady, from which he suffered frequently, and which, incidentally, afflicts from one to two per cent of the population, was Incurable, Thompson began using his earlier scientific training in an effort to find out something about It for himself. His study o f his own case and those of a number of others has finally convinced him that the secret of prevention of these headaches lies in keping the intake of water or liquid a t a m ini mum. He recommends that persons sub ject to such headaches stay on the borderline of thirst at all times, and that if they feel an attack coming on, warp themeslves in blankets in the warmest possible spot and sweat it out. Regarded Jade at Charm The ancient Greeks believed, as do the Chinese, that jade acts as a charm to cure all kidney diseases.

It has aroused an interest among school people in the so-called irriducib’.e school fund. Recent sessions of the land board at which blocking prob lems has been up fer consideration has been largely at ended by teach ers, school board members and rep resentatives of Parent-Teacher as sociations and women's organiza tions all bent an seeing that schorl fund gets a square deal However it would appear that they are trying to lock the stable door after the horse has been stolen. Revenues from the state's grazing lands, it is generaTy admi ted, would ameunt to only a drop in the bucket compared to the millions that were stolen from the school children through fraudu'ent land sales while the friends of the schocl children were asleep on the job. —L — The last hope for federal aid in financing the proposed new tuber culosis hospital in Multnomah ccun- ty appears now to have been lost A letter received by Governor M ar tin from C.
