TUB DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL Is the only aewspaper la Salem whose circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations DROPPED EGGS. Hereafter when the hungry customer walks into the restaurant and orders "dropped eggs" it is more than likely that his order will be filled not only in the culinary sense but in solid fact as well, for the latest stunt of an aerial parcel postman was to drop a crate of eggs from his aeroplane while 700 feet above the earth, and speeding .it thp mtP nf 70 mi ps an hour, t urtnermore. tne eecs v ------- - . - r -ow landed upon the .proper spot, and not one of them was broken. The explanation? A brand new effect in parachutes, which was attached to the crate, opened successfully and wafted the eggs as lightly to the earth as if each one was the feather which some part of every egg was destined never to become. This event must not be held in too light esteem. It marks an epoch in air flight. For if a crate of eggs can be swung off from a speeding plane and alight unbroken, it will be but a brief space of time until men will emulate the egg and swing off into space just as the airship passes over his back yard and drop to earth as safely as snow flakes before the wondering eyes of children. These child ren will no longer flatten their noses against the window pane watching for father to come along the street, but rather obey that oft-repeated maxim, "look upward, not down." After all, it is a queer world and ruled with little justice. Here is the poor, hard-working hen who for ages has devoted her mind to the most efficient method of egg-laying. Would she dare to drop her eggs while in full flight over the barnyard fence? Hut man, mere man, Cim drop a crate full 700 feet and never crack a shell! Three hundred and forty-eight new state laws take effect in Oregon today, one for every week day in the year and a few odd ones for Sundays. . , I The government has issued a "formula" to prevent forest fires. The time of year is approaching when they are most likely to occur, when the timber dries out under the summer sun and is easily ignited by the flying spark, while the woods are full of campers and picnicers too happy sometimes to be thoughtful. - - 1. Be sure your match is out. Break it in two before you throw it away. 2. Don t throw away burning tobacco, lighted cig arette or cigar. '5. Choose a safe place and make your camp fire small. Put your camp fire out with water and then cover it with earth. 5. Don't make large brush fires. Choose a still day j lor burning, and plough furrows to protect adjacent woods. These simple rules all are worth observing whether the woodland to be protected is one of the great forests or simply the home wood lot. Every area of standing timber could be pasted to advantage with the warnings, placed at frequent intervals and in large type. WHAT REALLY WON THE WAR. at once commenced to think of que tions I wanted to ask. We waited nearly an hour before I then insisted that hc rame out beam Five cups of flour, two cups of sugar, five teaspoons baking powder, one teaspoon salt, two eggs, one and three quarters cups milk, one teaspoonful of lard. Knead, shape with doughnut cutter, drop into hot lard. Four dozen may be made with above recipe. Guessed it, have you? Certainly! Salvation Army doughnuts. The judge at The Dalles who sentenced Edward Primrose, bandit and murderer, expressed regret that he could not send him to the gallows. Well, if the fellow has to spend a life-time in the Oregon prison, hanging would be a lighter punishment, but the maudlin sentimentality of the day which makes the criminal an object of special consideration is likely to result in his being freed in a few years. Hawker is already a fallen idol, having had no more sense than to belittle the American feat of flying across the ocean. The English banqueters to whom he was speak ing greeted his statement with chill silence for the Eng' lishman is a sportsman, whether he wins. or loses and Hawker s popularity will wane from this time forward. Considering the way women have had to fight for suffrage, they must find a good deal of satisfaction, not to mention amusement, m the way the political parties are now falling over each other to give it to them. came our tura. -unt go in first, ing. "He wonderful Bab, simply won derful! I will tell vou all he told ine after you eome out." Silly as I felt it to be I trembled as T walked into the presence of a quiet lowing, quietly dressed man. "Write ail questions on these slips of paper," he laid them on the table be side nie. It took me but a few moment as I knew exactly what I was going to ask, thank to the woman whom I had overheard. He took them from me, laid one on his forehead, waited a moment, then said: " Vou want to know if some one you love is perfectly honest in his business methods, and if lie is going to continue his past success." it wan the one of all my questions in which I wss particularly interested. I almost lielil my breuth while I wi.ited for his reply. (To lie Continued.) . Gt News' The Germans and a majority of the United States senate seem to agree on a good many things. Now they are pulling together to reject the peace treaty and defeat the League of Nations. RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason THE BUCKET. The day is approaching when booze will be banished, the lights will go out in the gilded saloons; the bartend ers all from their posts will have vanished, along with the jugs and the brazen spittoons. Alas for the soak and the bum and the drifter! The tale of their anguish no poet can tell; they'll hit, when they long for a four-fingered snifter, the old oaken bucket that hangs in the well.
