Hayward to Go
With U. S. Team
By Associated Press.
EUGENE. July 23. William L.
Hayward, veteran trainer of Univer
sity, of Oregon athletic teams, nas
been officially selected as one of the
coaches of the United States Olympic
games track and field team, accord
ing to a wire from Haywara received
at the university administration or
flces. Hayward is now in Boston
with Kenneth Bartlett and Arthur
Tuck, Oregon athletes who were se
lected as members of the Olympic
team.
Hayward was selected over train
ers and coaches from ail other
schools in the west, and is the only
member of the corps of coaches and
trainers from this section of the
country. He had previously an
nounced his intention of attending"
the meet in Antwerp whether he was
officially named or not, feeling a
keen Interest in the inter-national
contests after two of his proteges
had been selected as members or tne
American team.
With two athletes from the uni
versity selected as members of the
Olympic team, and Bill Hayward,
head of the physical training depart
ment of the university named a mem
her of the staff of trainers, the Uni
versity of Oregon has perhaps the
best representation on the United
States team of any other college or
university in the country, several
schools have a single athlete on the
team, or possibly a coach, but a coach
and two athletes from the same
school Is believed to approach the
record of any other institution In the
country.
George Houck, who Is attending
military school at San Diego, writes
that the school closes the 28th of
this month and that as soon as he
has had the opportunity to visit some
of the points of Interest In that local

Speculation Regarding Future

Are Indulged In.
SALEM. July 23. All Oregon
moved into Salem today when sev
eral thousand more Elks, leaving
nothing but dull care, worry, and the
localities of their home towns behind
them, tumbled oft packed trains and
assisted in taking over the cily for
the third annual convention. Ail day
long, mobs have arrived by rail and
a steady stream of automobiles com
ing over every road leading to the
city have added to the hosts.
But little was done when the firpt
session of the lodgemen was held
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. Re
ports of the secretary and treasurer
of the state association were heard
and were referred to the committee
in charge. But few of the various
committee chiefs were present at the
initial gathering.
Credentials of the various dele
gates were receiyed by the creden
tials committee. Carl Y. Lengwald,
of Medford, was chosen to act tem
porarily as sergeant at arms. Short
ly before 12 o'clock the meeting ad
journed until 2 p. m.
No action was taken toward de
ciding where the fourth annual con
vention will be held next summer,
but all Elks appear to be of the
opinion that Marshfield will enter
tain the lodgemen at their next gath
ering. Neither was formal mention
made of likely state presidents, but
it is understood that R. Alexander of
Pendleton, T. O. Russell of Eugeno,
and Dr. J. K. Kosenberg of Bend, are
among the most prominent wrX are
being considered. -
Elks have taken up tho offor of
Mayor Wilson and have taken the
town unto themselves. Streets and
hotels have been re-named, and the
city Is being run to their liking.

other localities of the state are la
charge of Salem.
Commercial street has been chrlst
ened "Broadway," State street is now
known as "Central street," and sev
eral large signs on Marlort hotel win
dows state that it is tho "Chandler
hotel."
A ten gallon keg of" Portland's
most Inviting "Bull Run" water,
sparkling, and said to be extremely
refreshing, was hauled up and down
"Central" street during the early
hours of the morning. A small hose
was attached to the keg and "Broth

by Portlanders to partake.
Interest of visitors is at present
centered In tonight's pnade which
will start promptly at 7:30. Dele
gations from scores of Oregon cities
are to compete for the numerous
prizes offered, and there will aa
scores of decorated automobiles and
floats in line.
PCLIJXG A GOOD STUNT.
From the Oregonlan Sidelights

'Roseburg pulled oflf one of the
most unique advertising stunts yet
snnounced 1n connection with the

TOURISTS WANT LOCAL VIEWS
Dealers In picture post cards re
ported yesterday that the supply of
picture post cards ot the city have
been almost exhausted. These cards
are In great demand among tourists
apd street scenes and photographs
of buildings in and around Roseburg
go like the proverbial hot cakes.
Nearly all of the dealers loaded up
with local views In anticipation of
the ton rint travel this season but the
demand has far exceeded all expec
tations and msny of the racks are
becoming depleted. Charles Clark
of the Clark Studios printed up sev
eral thousand photos during the ear
ly spring mouths and nearly all of
these have disappeared. This matter
should be looked Into for it Is one

FRUITJNSPECTION
Oregon Growers Put "0. K."
On Each Box of Fruit
Shipped Out of State.

LEWIS IS IN CITY TODAY
O. L. Fish, Apple Man From Wcn-
atchee District Will Have Charge
of Inspection In the Umpqua and
Willamette Valley Section.
C. I. Lewis, of the Oregon Grow
ers Association is 'in Roseburg today
for the purpose of establishing a sys
tem otf uniform inspection for fruit.
The association is preparing to in
spect every box ot fruit before -It Is
placed on the market In order that
the quality may be made a feature
of the association's product. The in
spection will be made by a disin
terested party and ore who Is thor
oughly .familiar with fruit and fruit
conditions, and when comuleted the
"O. K" of the organisation will mark
the fruit ss being perfect in that par
ticular grade.
"People demand god quality and
have a right to expect it." Mr. Lewis
says, " and it Is our purpose to see
that every box df fruit that bears the
O. K. of the association is perfect In
its grade. In order to do this we will
have an Inspector in every locality
who will do nothing else but inspect
the fruit. It was not thought best
to allow this to be done by any one
associated with the picking or pack
ing ot the fruit, and consequently
we expect to have an entirely disin
terested person in charge.
Mr. Lewis states that O. L. Fish,
of Wenntchee, who has been eon
nected with the Willamette Valley
Fruit Exchange will probably have
charge of the work In this territory
with three or four assistants to help
mm in tne work. Mr. Fish will hsve
charge of the Willamette valley also
and will inspect aiul supovtse the
picking aud.packing.of the tp1cs.
The association this year Is cer
tain df sales amounting to between
85.000.000 and 88,000.000. The
growth of the organization hns been
remarkable for It now controls 27,
000 acres and has 1400 members.
The berleB and cherries have been
disposed ot at a price of about $500,
000, while the pears will bring In a
like amount.
One achievement of the associa
tion was the saving of the cherry
crop following the rain. Over 200
tons of cherries In a green and
cracked condition as a result of the
rains, were taken from the trees, and
with a quickly installed pltter were
prepared and dried, saving the (farm
ers several thousand dollars. Cherries
are being dried at the rate of over
ten tons dally, and are selling at a
price between 5 and 7 cents a pound.
Had It not been for this emergency
action th farmers Would have lost
heavily.
The association has also purchas
ed a half million dollars worth of
box shook, nails and paper and other
materials and are distributing these
to the members. There will be suffl-
oclent boxing to care for all those
who have signed up with the asso
ciation.
The advertising campaign for tho
association starts the (first of Aug
ust and will he under the personal
direction of Mr. Lewis. The cam
paign will be conservative as far as
expense Is concerned and will be In
creased as rapidly as the growth In
the business will permit.

JUDGE BALE HANDS
E
Thrilling Lecture Dealing With
Duty of the Public to
Children Pleases.
SYSTEM IS ARRAIGNED
Universal Military Training Propa
ganda Scored Places the Blanio
for Inefficient Citizenship
Flea tor Homeless Waifs.
In the lives of the boys and girls
of today whose tender feet are
twinkling along devious paths Is th'i
destiny of the nation of tomorrow.
With these words Judge Fred C.
Bale, for four years public prosecu
tor In the Juvenile court of Colum
bus, Ohio, opened his peerless lec
ture in the Chautauqua tent at 9
o'clock last night. The big tent was
filled, and with breathless Interest
the great audience leaned forward
with Intense earnestness to catch the
sentences of this great hearted man
whose business has given him such
an Insight to the child life of the na
tion. "There are four lines of de
fense," continued Judge Bale, "the
army, the navy, the material re
sources embodied In our unparal
leled resources and commercial ac
tivities, and fourth, the children of
America. Of. these the children
should come first, because they are
i the basis of all, but do they?"
I Judge Bale then went into the
depths of this great subject fraught
with tremendous responsibilities to
the fathers and mothers of today.
There was no prudishness in his talk
I but he dealt with facts right from
the shoulder and placed tho burden
where It belongs, demonstrating be
yord the question of doubt that as a
.nation we are woefully at fault In
i the matter of safeguarding and edu
cating the youth of the land.
Referring to the Krupp gun worki
in Germany, Judge Bale allegod that
I he Institution was tho basis of the
I Hun militaristic achievements. Ho
Isold that the owners' of the mot
gigantic munitions manufacturing
lunt the world had ever seen wero
not patriotic, but back of the whole
. thing was the single ambition to sell
' the product of their -foundries and
mills, therefore they fostered anil
spent countless sums from the profits
of the Institution in propaganda that
Ued the government to establish Its
military system. The war was
fought to destroy the system, and
now after the United States had
spent billions In winning the- war,
whllo tens of thousands of the
flower of tho young manhood of the
nation had been slaughtered In the
work of dofeating German mili
tarism, there was a plan on foot
right In our own country to establish
militarism here. He named no less
than four measures now pending In
the national legislature requiring
universal military training, any one
of which would do for America Junt
what the Krupp people did for Ger
many. To find out what this thing
meant, he said, we must learn who
are financing this propaganda for
universal military training. This
was an easy matter, because reports
of a commission appointed by con
gress had already reported on the
matter, and It was an established
fact that this propaganda was being
fostered by the DuPont Powder Co.,
the Carnegie Steel Corporation, and
two other munitions making con
cerns. Before the war. Judge Bale
stated, the net profits of tho DuPont
Powder Co. were $3,000,000 annual
ly. During the two years of the war
their net profits totalled more than
$80,000,000 a year, and desiring to
perpetuate these gigantic profits,
they and tho other corporations,
whose profits were also almost be
yond computation, were trying to
foist universal military training on
tho nation uedor the guise of pre
paredness. Tho speaker said tnclr
purposes wero dishonest, because
there was only one way to cslnbllsh
peace Just on and that was uni
versal disarmament.
Referring to marriage, he alleged
that every child has the right to be
well born, and If not well born to not
be born at all. He advocated laws In
every state and municipality govern
ing this Important matter, snd al
leged that both parties to a marriage
contract should be compelled to pass
both a mental and physical examina
tion that would reasonably Insuro
vigorous bodies and reasonable men
tality In children bom of all parents
In the future.
He wants to see medical examina
tion In the schools, health nursing
and the prevention of all curable de
fectiveness. But even when this is
accomplished you have only begun,
for economic and social evils wilt
tear down even the most adequate
physical structure. Judge Bale cited
the fact that last year the health de
partment of New York City on mak
ing an Investigation of the physical
eondltion of the school children of
the city fonnd 118,000 out of 1.250,
000 underfed. The children's bureau
at Washington shows that over 2,
000,000 at large In the United States
are In the aamo condition.
Rapping our educational systoni,
he said:
"We run the child through coin
mon mold, disregarding bis talents
and abilities. Education which
means the drawing out of tho abil
ity God put there has been degraded
to a system of cramming In all the
knowledge possible, making a hard
and fast Procrustean bed. We are
not willing to spend enough money
for enough toachors. Last year five
times as much money was spent in
the United States tor automobiles as
was spent for all branches ot educa
tion together.
"The national government has the
same idea, for we have had a live
stock and bog bureau for years but
not until 1913 was a children a bu
reau established in. Washington. In
that year seven and one-half million
dollars wore spent on livestock and
crops and only twenty-nine thou
sand dollars were spent on children.
"There are enough homeless boys
and girts for every childless home in
the United States," said Judge Bale,
who declared that although he be
lieves every woman was born with a
mother heart, contends that some
have a peculiar way of showing It.
Those childless couplos who refuse
to give a home to children who never
have known parental love. Judge
Bale said, were supremely selfish,
and living only io gratify their own
narrow view of life.

LECTURE GIVEN ON

graphical Society and
Famous Explorer.
ADOPTED BY WILD TRIBE
South American Cities Are Rich And
Fast Growing, But tho Rural Dls
. tricts Are Far Behind. Lack
Facilities to Market Products.
To many who have always enter
tained somewhat hazy ideas concern .
ing houtn America, yesterday's lec
ture by Dr. G. Whitfield Kay. was a
real "eye opener, and there were few
who did not leave with a much clear
er Idea of the vast scope and re
sources of this vast country. Dr. Ray
s a member .of the London Geo
graphical Society, and In this connec
tion has made many trips and explor
ations. His lecture Is called.
Through Five Republics on Horse
Bark" snd Is Interesting to the ex
treme. He Illustrated his talk with
a large colored map df South Amer
ica suspondod from the top of the
tent, and several tables on the stage
contained curios and native imple-
monts picked up by him on his trav
els. Ho was dressed in the native
South American Costume.
According to Dr. Ray, there 18
onough land In Brazil that has nev
er been explored by a white man to
lose four or five of our largest statos
and he says, "I rode thousands ot
miles In Brazil without seeing a sln
glo person. Educated people In the
United States, and everywhere, for
that matter, have the most peculiar
ideas concerning South America that
I ever heard. I am constantly being
asLdd the most simple questions con
corning It. I am asked 'Is It hilly or
Is it level' I answer. It is anything
and everything. There are plains,
hills, mountains, doserts, everything.
Is It civilized or Is It barbarous. It Is
both. South America shows every de
gree ot civilization to perfection."
Dr. Ray hsd much' to say concern--Ing
the wondorful advancement In
tho large cities In the country, al-.
though tho rural districts are very
I'ar behind. They are very rich and
fast growing, the cities, and in mnnv
respects are ahead of the United
States. The streets of Rio do Janlero
are 140 feet wide and are kent clean
with a vacuum cleaner. The side
walls sre mnde of marble laid in mo
saic. They have sn onera house which
cost thousands of dollors more than
ho best one In New York cltv, and
havo recently offered Caruso a con
tract at 810.000 a night. The tim
ber, roads nnd railroads were all
riven praise. Some of the rosds have
been built over tho mounttrlns at a
cost of a million dollars a mile.
