The Emerald pours out its praises 1 <» the patriarchal old Oregonian who yesterday elected the Sage of Ore gon. Listen: “The suggestion recently was made by someone44 (the suspense, the mystery!) “that colleges should teach athletics of use in later life, such as hunting and fishing,” Hurry, Oregonian, and name the man! Hut it only proceeds, so ex 21 spentti ngly deliberato: “We deplore our lack of informa tion concerning the identity of the sage who offered this advice.” Ha! I In! We know anyway. The little tiger’s smirk gave you away. We read the article, too, in last .June's Nation's Health where Harry ►Scott tells all about his idea. Tried ! to fool us, didn’t you? Well, we found out. Even if Harry has become a, Sage and is quoted all over the country since ho went back to Col umbia, we guess lie's the same liar l.v that’s been head of the Physi cal Ldj. department for the last seven years. And we’re not asham ed to use his name in our articles. Thunks, Oregonian, for giving us a Huge. Corvallis Cam/aligns To ‘Upbuild the State'' TK some University nia 11 actually **■ should “fcef up a speech telling 11m* people of Oregon something that would do tlu'iu some wood,” as the Corvallis Caxette-Times facetiously suggests, In1 «* on Id no doubt interest tin* people by showing how they build auditoriums that are inhospit able to qualified lecturers mi vital topics and equip radio stations which proscribe ({range addresses.

This University, the C.-T. \s splen •'tic. chiet should learn, harbors no "propagandist." It employs a mem ber of the staff of the school of jour nalism \vho assists correspondents to prepare strictly University material, which is so dateliued. The Cage stor ies emanating from lCugene original e«l with the Umerald’s report of Mr. I age s remarks. Kugene correspond ents ot Cortland papers thus obtain «*d their material. The staff mem ber, official source of University i news, not only ignored the stop | but requested that it not be used by campus con espondents. fcjlo much for the “university propagandist; . . . sending dispatches full of un truths. . . .” Now, who’s a what? However, paradoxically, tin* G.-t. ungrammatically wishes “the stuff was true.” talk about “pathetic stories,” as j I he G.-T. characterizes Page’s re port of the (). S.

They are elms'cti for the posit ion because of their knowledge of the game and the rates bv which it is governed. It is to be regretted that mistakes are made but iu a game as fast as basketball it is quite unavoidable that they should occur. Were the referee to venture to re ^ erse a justly protested decision in any case save one of the utmost im porta nee, such as will arise in only tlie rarest of instances, lie would find himself exposed to protests without the slightest grounds for justifica tion mid his authority so curtailed ie actuality as to constitute a far ft''eater evil than the occasional un reel ified mistake is likely to do.! Without a referee with unquestion ed authority, basketball, or any other game in which order depends "I1"" the obedience of players to the decisions of officials, would tb generate into tin' endless round ot squabbles ehuriiet erist ie of tile comer-lilt days of childhood.

Y., Jan. 14.— (Special.)—New York tumbled all over itself here last night in Madison Square to get a glimpse of the new Seer Seven which made its formal showing of 1928 models. The car, built in the far western city of Eugene, Oregon, incorpor ates many features unheard of in the automobile industry. Among them is seven cylinders as a com promise between six and eight. Little difference is noticeable in the steering apparatus over that of last year’s models—it still works I entirely by foot. The gasoline tank is in o'ne of the poor pockets and the gear shift lever is out of the way under the back seat. A cigar lighter is conveniently placed on the spare tire rack and the exhaust is in front, in order that no smoke will enter the car while it is going in reverse.

Replies are directly quoted. Today's Question: What does your ideal professor look like? Tommy Chapman, junior in busi ness administration—“There ain’t any such tiling as an ideal profes sor.” William Snails, senior in business administration—“Tall and scholarly looking. Rather old. Intelligent look ing face. An expressive voice that is not a monotone.” Harold Hunnicutt, senior in jour nalism—“That is one I have never been to class to. Two principal characteristics would be a benign disposition and near-sightedness. He should be dumb enough so he would n’t hear a reasonably loud snore.” Harry Ton]*on, freshman in jour nalism—“I thing he should be one who has a good background of psy chology so he can realize how much the student can do. He should be one who would realize that his sub ject was not the only one taught on the campus.” Small Newspaper Received Recently By M. H.

Tobacco fori the Tropics _ October 6,1926 Larus & Bro. Co. ^ Richmond, Va., U. S. A. o Gentlemen: Most all well-known tobaccos smoke well in a cold or temperate climate, but very few in a tropical climate. They are mostly too heavy, don’t seem to be blended right—at least that is my opinion gained from practical ex perience. < However, Edgeworth is the same in any climate. Again that is my opinion gained by practical experience. I cannot get the same pleasure out of any brand of tobacco that I can out of Edgeworth, and I have tried many —and paid fancy prices, too. It costs real money to smoke imported tobaccos here; the import duty is very high. Anyway, we cannot have everything we would like in these countries, so we hold on to all the little pleasures possi ble. Now you know why I smoke Edgeworth. Yours respectfully, R. C. Rigg Cartagena, Columbia, S. A. Edgeworth Extra High Grade o Smoking Tobacco Pharaoh Wrote Few Letters POST OFFICE, CAIRO, EGYPT^ 3 Now during the tourist season, the mails out of Cairo are tremendously heavy. And no wonder! Everyone who travels in Egypt, who comes into contact with the most ancient of civilizations, must say something about his impres sions to someone—even ifhe has hitherto been a lazy correspondent. He may send only a postal card showing the Great Pyr amid with “X showing the spot where I ate my luncheon.” But he must write something! •And since the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamen, tourists have multiplied, impressions have been voluminous, and the mails have increased enormously.“Of course,you can’t imagine it without being here,but I simplymust tellyouabout.” And so on. • It is very lucky for the correspondents that with her wonders of antiquity, Egypt did not also inherit the ancient postal sys tem. Only the Pharaohs and the great officers of state could indulge in the luxury of corresponding with a foreign country_ and a letter from the King of Egypt to the King of Babylon might take months in transit. Some of these royal letters have come down to us*They arc very long, full of elaborate salutations and important news—as'if their writers con sidered their composition the event of a season. All things considered, we may be grate ful that themodern postal systetn of Egypt is what it is —efficient, orderly, up-to date. Of course, the Cairo Post Office is equipped with Otis Elevators. So with the advance of civilization, Otis, the symbol of twentieth century convenience, has been put at the service of the Pharaohs of Egypt in spreading their fame far beyond any worlds which they cguld even have dreamed of! The pyramid builders would, we feel sure, ap preciate the marvel. O T I S K L E V A T O R C O M V A N Y Offices in Mi Principal Lilies oj the iPurld
