NEW,EXTENSION COURSES University of Minnesota Offers Short Coarse for Teachers. University of Minnesota.—School superintendents and principals from all parts of Minnesota will gather at the State University on March 23 for a week of special courses designed to put them in touch with the latest de velopments in education. “This seems to be a new and interesting de velopment in higher education,” says Ur. P. P. Claxton, United States com missioner of education, in discuss ing the plan. “It would be worth while for other universities to inves tigate its possibilities.” Minnesota’s “Short Course for Teachers” will offer real university opportunities so far as these may be obtained in the short space of one week.. The corps of instructors will include Dr. Lightner Witmer, of the University of Pennsylvania; Dr. L. D. Coffman, of the University of Illi nois; Secretary C. A. Prosser, of the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education, and Com missioner David Snedden of Massa chusetts. .

Makar* YOUR’S WORTH $17.30 DEAD Elements in Human Body Have That Value, Say Chemists. University of Kansas, March 4.— What are you worth? Measured by your earning capaci ty, perhaps you could earn as much in a year as $20,000. No doubt you are worth far more to your mother or sweetheart. But if you had to sell your body for what there is in it for the manu facturing chemist, you’d get exactly $17.30. That is the value of the fats, pro teids, and mineral matter in the body, if reduced to staple articles of commerce, according to estimates made by K. U. chemists. The fat in a human body is the most valuable of these products and, of course, varies in different per sons. Its principal use would be in soap or candle-making. The rest of the body could only be used as a fertilizer, as, of course, the com parative high food value of human flesh is worthless on account of the anti-cannibalistic prejudices of hu manity.

University of Washington, March 4.—Coach Engle has half a hundred men from whom to pick the varsity nine this year. The pitching staff has been the weakest spot in the lineup, as no varsity pitchers are in college, but last night's turnout was very encouraging to the coach and Captain Kerry. The following are turning out for a job on the mound: W. Bryant, sec ond string pitcher of last year; Mor rell, a Freshman from Coupeville High School, a former pitcher at St. Mary's College, California; Guy Johnson, on the varsity team two years ago; “Twin” Leader of crew fame; McEvoy of Skykomish, Wash.; R. C. Yeast from Pawnee City, Neb.; C. L. Rodgers, a former High School star of Coiville, Wash.; Blaisdell, an old-time port flinger from the U. of W.; Lee McManus, from Ellensburg Normal; W. Hoxsey; Sumner Hurd, pitcher of a couple of years ago; R. Malloy and Tom Barto. Competition Keen for Places Not only the pitching staff is well fortified, but for every position com petition will be keen this year. Every man will have to work for his place on the team. Out of the 45 men out last night, the majority made known that they would try out for other positions besides that of pitcher. The Harvard Seniors have elected a negro, Alexander L. Jackson of En glewood, N. J., to be their orator for Class Day, 1914. Jackson has won a track H several times and is famous for his hurdling and sprint ing.

A man will be chos | en from each of the five-weight di , visions.

As a practice event for the Con ference Meet, Manager Walker will try to arrange a meeting with the wrestlers of the Multnomah Club some time during next week. Eddie O’Connel, wno, under a false impression that Shockley’s men were prepared to meet his troupe, brought his string of Multnomah Club wrestlers to Eugene last Thurs day, wrestled at O. A. C. last night. He may be induced to return next week. Director Shockley says that his men are in good condition, and none of them more than two or three pounds above the weight which lim its their respective divisions. This superfluous weight can easily, be worked off in the few days yet re maining before the meet. DR. KUYKENDALL SPEAKS “Injuries and Emergencies of Sports’’ Discussed at Y. M. C. A. Meeting. Speaking on the subject of ‘ In juries and Emergencies of the In door and Outdoor Sports,” Dr. Eb erle Kuykendall of Eugene opened the First Aid to the Injured1 Series at the regular meeting of the Y. M. C. A. in Deady Hall, last night. ‘‘For all contusions of the body the application of hot towels is, perhaps, the best remedy," said Dr. Kuyken dall. ‘‘This heals and relieves the pain. “For cuts over the eyes wash out thoroughly with an antiseptic solu tion and then bind tight with clean cloth, and be absolutely sure the cloth is clean. "When a body gets in the eye turn the eyelid back by inserting a round object over the top of the eye and turning the lid back. Roll t'he eye ball till the object is found an'd re move with a soft cloth. To relieve the eye afterwards wash out with a solution of boraclc acid. This is good because it can not be made too strong for the eye. If foreign ob jects get in the ear and nose and are not easily reached do not jab around around, but go to a doctor.” SPRING JEWELRY We have just received from eastern factories new' est novelties in spring jewelry which we are showing AT POPULAR PRICES At all times we carry large and complete lines of University Fobs, Pins, Rings, Tie Clasps and other Novelties. CALL SETH LARAWAY W. M. GREEN ° o - ' • . “ The Grocer 941 Willamette St. Phone 25 STATE NIMRODS . WILL ORGANIZE ANGLERS ARE INCLUDED. PROTECTION OF FISH AND GAME OBJECT CHINK SPORT FUND MISUSED All Clubs in League to Have Equal Influence. Fly Cast ing Tournament Arranged for Portland Meeting, March 16. Delegates from organizations of Sportsmen in all parts of the state will meet at Portland Monday, March 16, 1914, to form a state as sociation. There are now 5 4 clubs of hunters and fishermen in Oregon, and the ready responses received from these clubs indicate that there will be a full representation of all sportsmen at the convention. The overwhelming majority of the Sportsmen are in favor of the protec tion of fish and game, and the im provement of the game resources of the state. It will be the purpose of the State Association to work along the lines of game protection, tt agree upon legislation in order to bring that about, and to exert the united influence of the sportsmen of the state to procure the passage of such legislation. The objects which the organized sportsmen have in view are particu larly close to the heart of each an gler and hunter, because of the fact that the fund of $100,000 or more annually used for fish and game pro tection and propagation, is created by the license fees paid by them. There is a widespread feeling that tile sportsmen’s fund has not always been used to best advantage, and that at times its disbursement has been Influenced by motives other than the furtherance of the fish and tame resources of the state. It Is thought that the State Asso ciation, which probably will be known as the Oregon’s Sportsmen’s keague, will adopt a system which will give to each club in the state be longing to the league one vote in the affairs of the league, irrespective of the membership of the club or the number of delegates sent by the club to the convention. The purpose of this is to prevent the domination of the affairs of the league by a few of the stronger clubs. Among the entertainment features oroposed for the delegates are a trapshot and fly-casting tournament >n the day preceding the convention, ind a beefsteak dinner at the close of the convention, followed by mo tion pictures of a special Interest to iportsmen. DOUGHNUT SEASON OPENS AFTER SPRING VACATION Committee Appointed to See About Inter-Fraternity Track Meet That the Doughnut League will not commence active operations In track and baseball this year until after spring vacation is the opinion expressed at a recent meeting of the representatives of the fraternities and clubs. “We decided that it would be best to not start the games this year un til after the vacation.” said Allle Grout, in speaking of the action tak en by the body. “On account of the weather and the filled schedule of events the baseball season will be started a little later than usual.” A committee was appointed to see Bill Hayward and confer with him on dates for the inter-fraternity track meet. “We will select the best date pos sible, when there is nothing else on that will detract materially fro.n the meet, and one also that will fit in with Bill’s schedule, and will not in terfere with his plans,” said Grout. A committee of Everett Stullar, Ray Giles and Bob MoOornack was appointed to attend to the Inter-fra ternity handball tournament. They will see that this is run off as soon as possible, and at the next meeting, which will be held soon, the dates for this tournament will be set.
