A Sculptor Turns Editor
GUTZON HOKGI.U.M, stormy vi
ral ot whatever nulillc cul
tural undertaking lie happens to
ingUKe i", is a worthy sculptor
but an incompetent copy editor.
Calvin Coolldgo was assigned to
write a 5110-word history of I lie
United Slates to he engraved up
on tho face of the granite moun
tain Ituslimore In South Dakota.
Mr. IlorKluin, na cliainnan of the
committee on design and its sculp
tor as well, arbitrarily made
changes In Mr. Coolldge's work
which spoiled the laiiKunKe and
cramped the sentiment. Tim' ex
president, like the kooiI sports
man that he Is, said nothing for
a time but, forced by criticism of
the flaws in the text as attributed
to him, finally made mild dis
avowal. It appears that but for 1 lie ac
tive intervention of John Corbln.
a student and writer of early
United Stales history, Mr, IIoi'K
lum's arbitrary altering of MJ
CoolldKe'B history might have gone
unchallenged. Sir. Corbln wrote
a letter of sharp criticism of the
text to a New York newspaper,
attributing the fault to Mr. Cool
ldgc. It was then that the ex
Iiresident, who had sat silent un
der criticisms from other sources,
made his gentle disclaimer.,
True to character, Mr. llorglum
stood by his guus. The fact that
a leading recognized authority on
the history ot the period under dis
cussion said he wnB wrong did not
daunt Mm. Ho declared tho Cool
Idgo statemcnls as written were
at variance with the spirit and the
facts of the declaration of Inde
pendence mid the constitution.
Uore is one, of the iiaragiaiilis lis
written by 'Mr. Coolldne and as
I'mugcd by Mr. llorglum:
Coolldno text: The decima
tion of Independence tho eter
nal right lo seek happiness
tnioiign sen gtiveiiinieiii mid
the divine duty to delend Hint
light nt any sacrifice.
Dorgluin revision: In Iho
year of our Lord, 1778, tho peo
ple declared the eternal right
to seek happiness, sell'-govern-
inent and the divine duly lo
. tleicnd that light at any sac
rifice. In Hint paragraph tile sense
seems little changed by tho llorg
lum revision but where Mr. Cool
Idgo had writlcD with slinplo and
dignified directness. Mr. llorg
lum Injects an opening' phrase of
mawkishuess and falls into gram
matical error In omltilng on "and"
between happiness and self-government.
Mr. Cooliilgo had a good
sentence. Mr. noi'glum makes It a
poor one.
Again:
Coolldge text: The coiiKtl
.lulion charier of perpetual
'union of free people of sov
ereign states establishing a
government of limited powers
under an independent presi
dent, congress and court,
charged to provide security
lor all citizens In their em
ployment of liberty, equality
11111I Justice under the law.
Itoigliini revision: In 17K7,
assembled In convention, lliey
made a charier of perpetual
union of free people of sov
ereign stales, establishing a
government of limited powers
under an independent presi
dent, congress a n d court
charged to provide security for
all citizens In iheir enjoyment
of liberty, eitiallty and Jus
tice. . There aa in the former case, Mr.
Coolldge had written simply and
eloquently, and Mr. luirglimi turn
ed bib sentence into something la
bored. Ill each case Mr. Ilorgliiiu
Inserted the year of the event
treated and that may have been de
sirable, depending upon Ihe con
text, which the dispatches do not
cany. Hut In both cases Mr. lloi-g-luiu's-
changes were (he oppo.-lte
of Improving.
It is not easy to see bow Mr.
Ilorglum's statement can be Justi
fied that Mr. Coolidce's writings
were "completely at wu lnnro with
the very soul" of Ihe declaration
and tie constitution, nor does one
see readily how Mr. Corbln makes
out Unit the Ilorgliiiu change!)
flout the strongest convictions of
Washington, as lie charges. What
does appear from the exhibits Is
that Mr. Cooliilge expressed cer
tain statements very well and
that Mr. llorglum changed lliein so
that Ihe same statements were ex
pressed very awkwardly.
Mr. Belgium Is I lie same Mr.
llorglum who got Into a fuss with
the committee having In charge
a great sculpture of confederate
heroes on tin' face of Stone immn- j
lain, Te1111es1.ee, and hit li is work
there half completed some sears I
ago. lie is apparently not an easy
geatleman to get along with.
The International House
pl.A.N'S aro afoot for reorganiz-
iug in some degree and streng
thening the International bouse on
the campus of the University of
Oregon. The experiment of the
past year In bringing together in
telligent young men from various
lands of the world to live together
under one roof, to study and work
together, to exchange Ideas and
10 learn to work for the common
Ideal of improved' International
understanding is proving Itself.
To this writer the Internationa!
house seems to represent the
most. Important extra-curricular ac
tivity whose perpetuation ought to
be made certain. It is a move
ment so fraught with pbtential pos
sibilities for world wide service lo
humanity that the university itself
might well adopt It outright and
foster it. The university could
hardly find a more useful activity.
Hoys come to this bouse from
many nations of the world. They
live logelher there for four years
011 close terms of fellowship and
daily contact. They are intelli
gent and ambitious boys or other
wise they would never cross
oceans and continents to give
tbeiuselveH higher education. They
go back to their, homes In far
countries with knowledge concern
ing the peoples, the aspirations
and the Ideals of each and all of
the other nations represented in
tho house during their own four
years residence there. They will
spread ibelr new knowledge of
liiose mailers ut home. Can any
one doubt the effect that will have
in promoting international h under
standing? ' As wllh individuals so with peo
ples, to know each other and un
derstand each other is to esteem
and respect each other. With mu
tual tears unit distrusts removed
nations would cease to arm against
each other or to go to war. The
more the world learns to think In
international terms the less likeli
hood of wars there will be. There
in lies the great significance of
the ltiteriiallonai house.

(Portland Oregouluu)
Several of the nominess for the
legislature, in their plultornis, an
nounced theinselveH us favoring
beuutillcatlon ol the highways anil
removal ol wayside signs. Unless
they were simply seizing upon a
presumably popular Issue, with no
intention of lighting It through, the
matter is likely to be brought up in
some form or other at the next ses
sion. Uut what can be accomplished is
a horse of h not her color. One cuu
go to the stalehouse wllh Ihe best
mt'eutions in the world and still
accomplish nothing.
There is considerable truth In
the contention of the Outdoor Ad
vertising Association of Amerlcu,
Inc., that most of the unsighlly
signs along the highways are what
are known In ihe parlance of the
prolession us "snipers." They are
(ho ugly littlo signs of the town

Hardware merchant. Coming into

mediums or advertising remain
and that Hire is no need for mar

refused lo cooperate.
It Is desirable that the campaign
be continued In all directions. Too
many millions oT doHers have been

Our highways are not solely Tor

There are letal obstacles that

IT IS a mailer of great rejoic
ing that real progress has been
made in the control of tuberculo
sis. A forward movement of still
greater importance has now been
started in co-operative research in
tuberculosis. This has beeu under
taken to the end that knowledge
of the means of its prevention and
a more direr l method of treatment
may he obtained.
Tilts highly specialized and tech
nical research is being carried on
under Ihe direction ot Ihe Nation
al Tuberculosis association. Out
standing specialists, both men and
women, in Individual fields, are
attacking the study under a care
fully laid cooperative plan.
The work Is being carried on In
twenty-one dilfereut laboratories
such us The Kockel'eller Institute
of Medical liesearcb, Yale, Johns
Hopkins, Yunderhill university,
Culverslly of Nebraska, I'nivorsily
of Chicago, Cornell university and
other meillcul centers.
Two phases of work are being
undertaken. One ts for social re
search and lb? other for medical
research.
The germ responsible for tuber
culosis is called the "tubercle ba
cillus.' There can be no tuber
culosis In the absence of this germ,
and unless there Is a favorable soil
for ( he nourishment of t he germ.
It cannot take root, or at least can
not thrive.
The presence of some of the
most simple, ordinary illnesses,
and a tendency to colds, may in
dicate a rundown condition of the
system. A siitlit cough which
bangs on after a series of colds
should be looked after by your doc
tor. rudernourlshment from lack of
food, or from eating Hie wrong
foods are other causes.
A distinguished physician who Is
a recognized authority on tuber
culosis lias said:
"There are six daiiKer signals
which should be watched for, es
pecially in children:
"Kirst persistent underweight.
Children and thin people should be
weighed frequently mid sent for ex
amination If they do nol gain as
fast us they should.
"Second VmiMHil fatigue.

. Getting Ready for School.
(Statu Boiird of Health)
When purenta become fully edu
cated to their responsibility for
Iheir children, and realize that not
only at the pre-school period is a
physical examination destrabie,
but also at periodic intervals front
time of birth onward, the netting
ready for school campaign as a spe
cial activity will becoine unneces
sary. Children should be examined at
roKiiliir intervals by the family
phyHlcian. Medical and dental In
upectlon is recommended. The get
ting ready for school campaign is
a challenge to parents to perform
a great service for the school. The
cooperation of doc tors and dentists
should be secured through the lo
cal medical and dentHl societies,
with which professional men in
good standing are usually con
nected. The American Dcnal association
says that upon the condition of the
first teeth depends in a large
measure that of the second set and
consequently the whole condition
of Ihe child. Dental defects are
present iu au appnlling majority of
our preschool children and sie
clal emphasis should be laid on
their correction.
The object of tho "(letting Ready
for School Campaign" is to send
(to school. In the entering grado. a
class of 101) per cent flue from
remedial defects. These children
should also have been immunized
against smallpox and diphtheria.
A study of half a million children
begun by Thomas D. Wood in 1918,
and reported by Harry H. Moore
In "Public Health iu Ihe United
Stales." published in 1923, focused
alieniion on the tact that rural
children were as much or more
handicapped I hull city children be
cause ot neglected remedial de
lects, Dr. Wood summarized Ihe
results as follows:
Delects Country City

The fact I hilt in spite of Ihe dis
advantages ol vlly life, children

Advice to Girls
By
NANCY LEE
DEAR NANCY LEW: '.
1 am a boy twenty-two years
old. A little over a year ago 1 met
a girl of eighteen and fell In loVe
with her. She loved me and I
broke her heart by going away on
a business trip and not leaving her
any word of my going.
..hen 1 came back, we quarreled
and that ended our love affair. 1
regret it now, as 1 cannot forget
her. Whenever she meets me on
the street, she turns her face
away. 1 don t have any chance to
speak to her as she always turns
her faee away from me.
Now, Nancy Lee, do you think
it will be right for me to write her
a letter telling her that 1 wunt to
go around wlttt her again?
PERPLEXED.
PERPLEXED: Your suggestion is
, a wise one. By all means write
her a frank, manly letter, iipologlz-
ing for your conduct and assuring
Iter that you are anxious to make
amends for any grief that may
have been caused her by your rath
er unkind act. No doubt that is
what she Is expecting from you,
and she is right not to speak until
you have made proper apology.
DEAR NANCY LE15:
I am a girl ot seventeen, and
went with a certain boy several
times and am crazy about him,
and ho seemed to be about me.
About three monthu ago he took
my autograph book home one
night, lias never brought It back,
nor asked me for any more dates,
and I have never seen him since
that time. Should I go after the
book? please tell me what to do?
A 'LONESOME CHAP.
A LONESOME CHAP: Your
friend certainly has no right to
keep your album for such a long
period. Write a pleasant but firm
note asking him to return your
property forthwith. If he does not
respond, perhaps your brother or
another friend could call and re
quest that he hand the book back,
to them. Such- a person is surely
not worth bothering about.

Noted London Cathedral, 17 Years
in Reconstruction at $2,000,000
Cost, to Be Rededicated June 25th
By BATES RANEY
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
LONDON A. P.) St. Paul's
cathedral will be reopened on June
25 In the presence of the king ana
queen.
A special thanksgiving service
will be conducted by -the Arch
bishop of Canterbury. There will
be 400 clergy In the vast chancel
and more than 4,000 persons are
expected to make up the . congrega
tion. Restoration has been going on
for seveuteen years, half the. time
originally required to build Sir
Christopher Wren's architectural
masterpiece. Nearly S2.00U.O0O has
been spent on the reiairs and for
five years parts of the cathedral
have been closed as unsafe.
Dome Out of Plumb
'Vhfi huge church was built at a
cost of $20,000000, raised - largely
by a tax on coal entering the port
of London, its foundations are
only four and a half feet deep. Ile
neath them are six feet of earth
and below that a bed of wet sand
twenty feet deep.
The dome alone weighs 68,000
tons. It is supported by eight hol
low piers and iu the course of the
centuries It has tilted dangerous
ly, almost six inches out of plumb.
That movement has not entirely
ceaaed, but the building is now con
sidered safe.
Most striking sight in the reno
vated cathedral is the glitter of
mosaics which had been dimmed
by the footsteps of worshippers
through the centuries. But while
the interior of the massive pile
shines in renewed brightness, its
exterior is still grimed by the

Spurn Money Profit
For, Spray Safeguard
(AMorlatwl Pivss r,inh'i Wire)
CORVALL1S. Ore., May 21. To
insure the public against eating
fruit tainted with' spray poisons, a
scientific discovery said to be
worth a small fortune has been
given without profit by two re
search specialists of the Oregon
State college agricultural experi
ment station.
The scientists are Henry Hart
man and H. U. Robinson. Their
unusual gile is a present to the
fruit growing industry of a process
for removing spray poisons from
ripe fruit.
The formula is protected against
private exploitation by a public
service patent.
For many years fruit containing
residue from heavy arsenate of
lead spraying was sold nncleaned,
as the normal amount of poison
remaining in the skin was not con
sidered dangerous.
Recently the federal government
ordered that all fruit be cleaned
thoroughly and that none showing
a trace of spray be exported.
Robinson and Hart man perfected
a wash that costs about one-half
cent per bushel to clean truii.
Their process has become standard
in the fruit growing districts of the
wet and hi reported spreading to
the midwest nnd east.

marked, "they o down too fast."
Thev now walked a few steps in
the direction of a cage and here
they found His Majesty feeding
prunes to a number ot strange
looking animals who were Inside.
"Good day. Your MaJeBty." said
the Tin-soldier, trying his best to
bow. "may 1 introduce the shadow
children?" "No," replied His Majesty short
ly, "I'm too busy. Bring them back
in a week or two."
"Oh, but we may not have time
to come back," Hanld said, hoping
he would change bis mind about
being Introduced to them. It was
n't at all pleasant to be with a per
son and not be able to talk to him.
But the King went right on feed
ing the animals, who proved to be
tho oddest they had ever seen.
There wai one with a face like a
pin-cushion and a tail like a dic
tionary. Another resembled a gar
den hose with green legs. Then
there was a whole family of crea
tures that looked like curtain-rods
and walked about on their ears.
One particularly fierce animal had
twenty-nine eyebrows and was so
ionic that it had to fold Itself In
three parts to keep from tripping
over itself.
"That's a Spugg, isn't It?" the
Tin-soldier asked His Majesty.
"No that's a Piff. Here, my
pet," he coaxed, "come and get
your nice ittle prune."
"Let me feed him, please!" cried
Kuart suddenly.
King Fat-Wat shook his head,
"t couldn't allow it. Piff would
never get over it."
' Bat at thiB Instant the shadow-
boy did a surprising thing. He
snatched the prune out of His Ma
jesty's hand and flung It into the
cage. Instantly there was a sound
like a thousand doorhinges all
creaking - at once as the hungry
creatures dashed their heads to
gether, fighting for the prune.
"Run!" His Majesty shouted in
alarm. '"There's trouble coming!"
At that Very second the bars of the
cage bnrst and out rushed the an

structure, "floating" it on Its
treacherous bed in a manner that
has proved an example ever since
to architectural engineers through
out the world. " . r.
