Ten guinea pigs have been inoculated
with a culture obtained from -samples

Other germs than tetanus were said
to have been found on the little rect

not been isolated.

AWARDSDECIDED ON
Bids Are Unexpectedly Low
and Contracts Are Tenta
tively Allowed by Board
Portland, Or., July 21. Contracts for
approximately $500,000 worth of pav
ing and grading work in various parts
of the state will be awarded by tho
Oregon State Hghwav commission with
in the next few days on a basis of bids
received yesterday.
The bids were, unexpectedly low, av
eraging approximately $1.28 a square
yard for bitulithic paving, which was
specified for most of the work.
Contracts were tentatively allowed as
follows:
Ten miles of the Portland-Salcm East
side road, in Clackamas and Marion
counties, to the Hnssam Paving com
pany. Fourteen miles of the Portia nd-Salem
west side road, between the Multnomah
county line and Newbcrg, to Oskar Hu
ber. Columbia Highway Included
Ten miles of the Columbia river high
way, between Astoria and Svenson, in
Clatsop county,' 'to- the Warren Con
struction company!'. :
Only one bid was received for the
pavement of the Siskiyou grade
Jackson county, but it was unsatisfac
tory to the commission and was reject
ed. The commission will do this work
on force account.
All successful bidders aereed. in their
offers, to maintain tho roads for- a pe
riod ot lv years.
, Work on these improvements will
start as soon as the contracts are for
mally awarded and the contractors can
get their, plants together. Every job is
expected to be complete before the cold
weather sets in next fall.
Highway Linii to Be Provided
By building 14 miles of road between
the Multnomah county line and New
berg, the highway commission will pro
vide another link in the Portland- Sa
lem highway over what heretofore has
been one of the worst stretches of
road in tho state the Rex-Tigurdvillc
stretch. This will furnish a paved high
way nearly half the way to Salem. It
is expected that tho southern end of
this highway will be paved next year.
The road now is paved to the county
line, including tho Terwilliger boule
vard in Portland.
At the same time substantial prog
ress will be made on a paved road east
of the river between Portland and Sa
lem. The commissioners have arranged
to begin at the Marion-Clackamas
county line and pave five miles in each
direction. It is aimed to extend the
road both ways until it is completed.
The Astoria-Svenson road will fur
nish another important link in the high
wav between Portland and the Pacific
beaches. The road now is paved through
Multnomah county to the Columbia
county line. The city of Astoria has ar
ranged to pave to the city limits.
More Contracts to "Be Let
The biggest stretch, of course, lies
between Svenson and the Multnomah
Columbia line, but it is intended to
pave this road gradually as soon as
the permanent grades are established.
Within the next few weeks the com
mission will let contracts for other
highway improvement work in various
parts of the state, approaching in ag
gregate cost, with the contracts award
ed vesterdav. the full 1,000,000 which
is to be spent this year under terms
of tho $6,000,000 bonding bill passed
by the voters last month.
Bids for the $1,000,000 worth of
bonds will be opened on August. 3, -and
the commission is confident of realiz
ing good value despite the present un
ccriain tone of the bond market-

BATTLEFIELD JUNK
CARErDLLYRECUUMED
Wornout Equipment and Ma
terial Not Wasted Every
thing Is Utilized
By William Philip Simms
(United Press staff correspondent)
With the British Armies in the Field
Jul" 5 (By mail)' Did ron ever stop
to think what becomes of all the worn
out equipment of an army composed of
millions or men? ,
At the outset of the present war j
much of this was pure loss. Now in the j
British army there is an "old clothes.1
man" and the profits he reports back I
to his boss, John Bull, might make
Morgan, Rockefeller or Carnegie en- i
vious. - I
j The old clothes man saves the scraps. )
He, makes new things out of old. He j
cleans up the battletields and camps
and very littlo is wasted nowadays.
His job is to collect everything from a !
horseshoe nail to a disordered siege !
gin and put it back into commission, j
Brass objects which have lost their '
usefulness are melted into ingots; cast I
iron junk becomes pig iron again;!
bronze, tin, steel, nickel and every
thing of this kind which has irretriev
ably lost its shape Is put into melting
pots to be born again in another guise
keeping up an eternal transmigration
but serving all the while.
I recently visited one of these scrap
saving and repair shops. About 12,000
people are employed, mostly French
women and girls.
Here great howitzers are repaired
and government chronometers hove
their hair springs readjusted; tents are
patched and mended and covers are
made for steel helmets; artillery wheels
are repaired and micrometers put true
again. There is a wood working shop, a
foundry for runninv brass, bronze, zinc,
tin and iron; a boot repair department,
a great machine shop; a gas mask re
pair department and many others.
In one room there were hundreds and
hundreds of rifles.
This is one day's arrivals," the
commanding officer explained. "By to
night the room must be cleared to make
room for tomorrow's arrivals."
Many of the rifles were inuildv and
rusty as though picked out of the mud
on the battlefield. Women were clean
ing these. In one corner a soldier was
rvthmically swinging the rifles up, one
by ono to a rest and squinting through
the barrels at a light to see if tney
were bent or if the rifling waa damaged
The officer explained this was obvi
ously the first bit of inspection because
it would be a waste of time 1o repair
other parts" of the l i if the barrel
was damaged.
These rifles pass on down the line.
When they reach the end they arc as
good as new and after being oiled aro
packed in boxes and shipped back to
the trout. ........

Washington, July SI. The depart

Samples of the germ laden plasters

"There has been enough officially
reported," he said, "pending further

President Wilson has appealed to the
country's business interests to put aside
every selfish consideration and give
their aid to the nation as freely as those
who go out to offer their lives on the
battlefield.

of France, or else it is not patriotiiun
Many a grievous burden of
taxation will be laid on this nation in
this generation and the next to pay for
this war; let ug see to it that for every
dollar that is taken from the people's
pockets it shall be poSsible to obtain a

need."
"Wo must make prices to the public
tho same as the prices to the govern
ment.
"Prices mean the same thing every

or the inefficiency of th nation. They
mean victory or defeat. They menu
that America will win her place once
for all among the foremost nations of
tho world, or that she will sink to be
