ADVENTUROUS YOUTH. "' Some people think American youth ia headed toward de terioration. The noted preacher. Rev. Dr, Harry Foadick of New York, evidently does not share that idea. Returning from a recent visit to Harvard University, he told his congregation that he was more enthusiastic than ever over "this splendid, be wildered, adventurous, hopeful generation." The more thought ful young folks are dissatisfied with the world as it has been, and have a willingness to take some chances in the effort for better things. Whether they are any more unselfish than the former generation remains to be proved. But at least they will not cling to the old ruts, if they see an opportunity to escape into smoother going. Their older friends may be disturbed at times because this spirit of adventure leads them to take chances. They may give up a steady job and strike off into some new opening, where people of the. older generation would have plod ded along in the accustomed paths. They do not seem to fear defeat as the older people did. They are willing to be knocked down a few times, rather than to miss what seem to them to be real opportunities. They look at the world as a kind of game in which they must take their turn at some poor hands, but they have confidence that eventually they will come out ahead. If this spirit is accompanied with a desire to be of service to the world, and does not concentrate on search for money and power, it ought to be very useful. The older people have no doubt been too fearful of change, too relucant to run risks of de feat, so that they often missed opportunities of enlargement. One can't help feeling that a lot to do very big things, with their earnestness and lack of fear. 0 AVOIDING HONEST FAILURES. An effort to trace the causes of "honest" bankruptcies, which in the aggregate represent an annual loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in the United States, will be made at the forthcoming conference on domestic distribution which is to be held in January under the auspices of the Chamber of Com merce of the United States. ' Failures are costly not only to those who fail. They are an economic waste which enters into the problem of merchandis ing und the effects of which are probably reflected to some ex tent in the prices which the ultimate consumer pays for com modities of every sort. The merchant, according to the department of domestic distribution, is less tortunate than the manufacturer. He has little information to guide him. The charge is frequently made, for example, that there are too many grocery stores, but there is no way of answering it because no one knows how many gro cery stores there are. Producers cannot apportion their sales be cause the number of outlets are not known, A lack of know ledge of general sales conditions results in injudicious buying. The investigation of this phase of merchandise or domes tic distribution might, it is pointed out by the domestic distribu : J . .i .... ,1 , ,. . ... uun ucpannicn or ine national cnamoer, result in material sav ings by reducing the amount and number of failures, by reduc ing the cost of doing business, and the ultimate prices to the con sumer and by placing the distributor in a better relation to hii customers. A high official of the Boston mended that that line should discontinue about 1 000 miles of its trackage which has been made unprofitable largely by the com petition of automobiles and trucks. Many other roads would also like to drop branch lines for a like reason. In manv dis tricts where the railroads once rilled with travelers and commuters, now a few Doorlv filled cars may do the business. And while many highways carry an enorrhous freight business done in great trucks, many freight trains go light loaded. Railroad managers, instead of lament ing this change, will often be able to make money out of it, by running their own trucks and busses. The country must always have railroads, and see that they cam a fnir income. The peo ple demand speed, but if busses and trucks wish to run to rail road schedules, they will eventually need many private rights of way where they will not interfere with other traffic. Henry Ford has bought a noted old stagecoach from Ver mont, and will have it shipped to his home, where it will furnish an interesting contrast with modern transportation. It is hard to realize, in these days of swift movement, when people slip around from place to place with such ease, how our great grand fathers were forced for many years to make all journeys in these awkward and lumbering vehicles. Many of our ideas and pre judices are due largely to the fact that in stagecoach days 'travel was uncommon. The people of different sections mingled little with each ether. They handed down wrong conceptions of each other which we have not wholly shnken off. SLIDE ON ROAD J.' M.

The high school basketball team has been practicing hard every night during the vacation season In preparation for the gunie on Thurs day evening. Jan. 8, agtfinst the rniverolty high school of Eugene. The practice has been of great benefit and tho team is making an excellent showing. "Most of the time has been spent on fundamentals and offensive and defensive play. Special emphasis has been given to the five-man de fense, which worked so well against Eureka high school. Coach Doubet has also put in a great deal of work in perfecting the short pass to be used on the offensive and all opponents will find the Roseburg team capable of putting up a strong showing In all departmenta of the game.. The young high school athletes have been working hard for posi tions on. tho team, and there has been a regular battle on for the for ward and center positions. The out standing forwards to date are Col lins, Helliwell, Giles and Moffltt. Beckley has been holding down the Job of center Id most of the scrim mage sessions, although he Is hard pressed by Nichols and Helliwell, the latter playing as either center or forward. The guard positions are taken care of by Jost and Perrln, the only two lettermen left from last sea son's fast flvo. ' Other promising guard candidates are fierger, Young, Bruton and Hunt. The squad has been cut to six teen men, those surviving the prun ing being Jost, Beckley, Perrln, Collins, Helliwell, Bruton, Hunt, (Hie, Nichols, M. Bell, It. Bell, Moffltt, Usher, Berger, Ellison and Young. One of the outstanding features of this year's team, which Id very pleasing to the Tans, is the spirit of teamwork and fight which ap pears to guide the actions of the players on the floor. ' Although iioseburg has had some extremely brilliant and fast teams in the past few years, there has ap parently been a desire for Individ ual glory on the part of some of the players, and In splto of the worn or the most efficient coaches, games have been lost because of failure to work together, but this year the situation has been reversi'd, and the players are working with a unity which promises great results, even though there may not be the Individual ability which has mark ed some of the past teams.
