Phone Main 82. THE SCHOOL VACATION. IT IS not only in poetry that school boys creep to school and rush out to play; and opposition to the attack on the summer vacation shares the child's standpoint. Federal Commissioner Claxton holds that the schools should provide instruction through what is now a "long, wasteful vacation." The Chicago Tribune supports local educators in pronouncing the three months "an unneces sary waste and worse than waste." Opposition has heretofore been effective, in a feeling that even slight ennui at home was not harmful, if thereby the return to school was made something not to be con templated with loathing. But advocates of 10 or 11 months instruction are turn ing to the improvement of school conditions, as shortening the period required to produce home boredom. "Large, airy schools and playgrc.nds" are proposed in Chicago, with more varied activity during the day. Some Oklahoma cities are instituting an all-year sys tem, with the three summer months optional. By this ri valry some schools may slowly evolve a profitable exten sion of their term. Summer industrial instruction has, of course, already made great strides. With every other great bourse in the world closed, it would doubtless be hazardous to keep the American ex changes open as the only market in the world on which to dump securities of all kinds in exchange for American gold. It is wise in this also, that it prevents wild specula tion which might lead to .sensational features that would disturb business throughout the country. The United States is the one great power that cannot be brought into thflhreatened war, and for that reason our people should not act independently in financial matters, but helpfully when thu proper course is definitely outlined by a clearer view of the situation. were killed.

Councilman Hatch wanted to know if the motorcycle was to be kept where it now is and said the speed cop has not made any arrests in Salem, but that he made about 17 in West Salem. At this juncture a communication from Chief Shedeek was read asking that the motorcycle be returned to his depart ment or else a cycle bought for his use. He said the one in use was especially fitted ami made for catching speed If Uncle Sam and the rest of the Americans, especially Argentine, would refuse to send any foodstuffs across the Atlantic, there would soon be peace in that wild and ob streperous European section of the footstool.

COBVALLIS KEEPS PACE WITH COLLEGE GROWTH FIRST WAR CORRESPONDENT. Oregon Agricultural College, Corvnl lis. Ore., Aug. 4. There need be no fear that the rapid growth of the Agri cult urn I lollege, plug the newly author ized vnnitional courses, will create a evening and passed. It states in its present form that all motor vehicles must travel on tho right hand side of the street and go straight ahead unless there is an obstruction not more than 1(10 yards ahead. The amendment pass ed without any dissenting vote. The accounts and current expense committee reported back that 18 sewer Mississippi is to make a determined fight against tip- i ping. A law was passed two years ago making it a mis- demeanor to give tips, and recently a traveling salesman was fined $G in New Orleans for giving a waiter a ten-cent tip. This may be good law and good sense, but somehow it looks like it was simply carrying the tipping system fur ther. Now, in order to tip a waiter, the tipper must also tip the police judge. (From the London Chronicle.) Tho first war correspondent, accord ing to a theory propoudned by Suther land Edwards, appears to have been Homer, who wns sent by the. editor of an Argos paper called tho Chronos to' describe tho siege of Troy. Hostilities j lasted only about seven weeks, and when they came to an end the (Jreek j chiefs were in no hurry to return to j their wives. Homer was a good sort,' and ns ho drew a largo salary and a : andsome. allowance for expenses from the Chronos, he rendilv accepted the scheme propounded by the wise Vlys ses to keep tho war going in the col umns of his paper as long as he could miinuge to write about it. His letters were too good not tn publish, and mean time the Creek chiefs had an enjoyable time nt Troy and elsewhere. Heissned in book form ns "The Dial," these early examples of war correspondence have enjoyed a wider circulation than was possible even in the columns of tho Chronos. student liody too large to be provided refund claims had been allowed.

Germany's declaration of war against Belgium, because j of that country's attempt to maintain its neutralitv. will leave Great Rritain no alternative but to fight because of her public declaration to protect neutral territory from M-med invasion. Evidently Germany is determined that Great Hritain must get into the fight, and has moved against Belgium as the surest way of forcing matters. The first tryout of the aeroplane as against the dirigible is in favor of the former, though in the two fights so far occurring between them the entire crews on both sides floor is to be turns 1 over to student use. In addition to the many new resi dences iutendeil partly for'student use nil the former club' and frnternitv houses will be run to their capacity and several new buildings nrc being erected wholly for club use. Among the larger are the Ahueel; ( bib home, and the (iamimt 1'psilon. Each of these will accommodate a club of about SO members.
