ROSEBURG, OREGON, MONDAY, JAN. 13, 1930.
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP
THE Corvnllis Gazette-Times has given up, surrendered
and admits that here in Oregon we cannot produce a foot
ball team at our colleges. The learned C. Ingalls, who writes
editorials for that paper, says but you can't paraphrase
that sort of stuff, so we quote:
"And speaking of California, neither Oregon school can
expect to win from either of the California schools except oc
casionally and then, perhaps, on breaks. All three of the Cali
fornia schools have more material to draw from. They have
better coached material to draw from, and they have a sunny
climute that puts energy and pep into he plavers the ver
around, liestdes that the northwest teams, used lo a sluggish
atmosphere can't go down Ihere under the boiling California
sun and stand up under the host of substitutes that California '
runs In. The northwest tennis might as well make up their .
minds to the fact that when they play California they do so
for the gate receipts only, and in order to have pmctice just
as gritty old Willamette plays O. S. C. and V. of O."
Yes, and just as gritty old (and little) St. Mary's just
plays the sox right off of those wonder teams of the big
southern universities. And another thing, if the air up this
way is "sluggish" it must be localized to certain isolated
spots. All of the Pacific coast states are remarked for the
vigor and quality of the atmosphere out here and California
has no monopoly on it none at all. Now about that "boil
ing California sun" wrecking the boys from our sluggish
atmosphere, that is pure bunk. The winning California
teams play just as well up here in our "sluggish" atmos
phere. But now to quit this quibbling and get to the real rea
son for quoting the above. The main reasons why football
teams from Oregon fail to win over the California teams are
two: First we have not until recently been paying as largo
salaries to coaches as are paid there; and secondly our teams
are more apt than not to have an inferiority complex when
they go up against those much touted wonder teams of the
south. We are employing fine coaches in Oregon now which
will offset the first of these reason. It is up to the whole
state to get into a winning frame of mind about everything
If We are to overcome the second. We have everything we
could desire right here in Oregon, climate, natural wealth
and resources, fine farm lands and fairly good transporta
tion facilities. Our highway system is the envy of the na
tion, Oregon is fifth in the nation in per capita wealth,
yes, greater than California. Practically every state in the
Union has adopted legislative and taxation methods origin
ated in Oregon. Furthermore, and harking back to foot
ball again, Oregon teams have beaten California teams and
beaten them badly without resorting to "breaks." Either
of the big teams in Oregon can beat California's best and
will do it, too, given good coaching and a winning spirit in
the state.

Use Preventive Measures When
Exposed to Contagion, Advises Authority; Teach
the Health Value of Clean Hands.
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator from New York.
Former Commissioner of Health, New York Citg,
NOBODY wants a contagious disease in the family. And all the
"catching" diseases are to be dreaded. The danger of con
tagion can be lessened by preventive measures and intelligent
are
First, we must Insist on cleanliness, and direct
the children in their personal habits. There ore
preventive measures that will go far toward
keeping a chifd from "taking" a disease when
exposed to It.
Almost every contagious disease begins with
a running nose. When a child wakes up in the
morning with a sore throat, running nose, fever
and headache, keep him home, and in bed.
In the early stage of contagious diseases you
never know what particular contagion it may be.
Take no chances, but keep the child apart from
others to protect them from the contagion.
A child should be taught to cover the mouth
when coughing, or sneezing. This should be
everybody's practice. The schoolroom is a place
where the common cold is frequently met. On
the door-knobs, pencils, erasers, and everything
children touch, arc the wilv little a-erms that sec
up so much trouble.
Teach your child to wash his hands frequently, to keep the face
and the mouth clean. The inside of the nostrils should be gently
washed out evory morning and night, for the moist nostrils easily

by the intelligent teaching of the

and living, the dangnra of these

Only by the greatest precaution,
and by intelligent education, can the

TWO PIG THIEVES
ARRESTED WHILE
ON NOISY SPREE ,
PORTLAND. Ore., Jan. 13.
Two men were under arrest, the
carcasses of three pigs were in
custody, the "death car," a taxi,
had been identified, and a bloody
bathtub spoke of butchery as po
lice announced the solution of
Portland's "mystery of the miss
ing, pigs."
The men are George Langlotz,
52, and George Curric, 46. They
were arrested last night as police
lay in wait for them at a dilapi
dated house on Union avenue. The
men were hilariously intoxicated,
the officers declared, and alight
rrom a taxi they walked into the
arms of the waiting police.
The pigs were stolen from the
farm of G. S. Toshida. They were
killed and bled on the spot, police
declare, were then loaded Into a
taxi cab, covered with coats and
delivered to the Union avenue
house.
The balhtub in the house made
an excellent vat, police said, and
its bloody walls spoke elequently
of the butchery of the missing
pigs.
