He and' Another Player at V. of O. "Come Together'' With Great Force. University of Oregon, Eugene. Nov 22 (Special) "Old Roman" Ben Grout bears a dented cranium and Carl Fen ton wears a coy Cyclopean erpre? slon as the result of a misunderstood signal. It occurred at Thursday's practice. An end run was called, Fenton start ed one way Just as Ben came Bteam ing by headed In the opposite direc tion. The seismic instruments at Port land oscillated violently. It was a graphic Illustration of the old nrob lem of the Jrreslstable force and the immovable body.- Both .were annihil ated, or at least put out for the count. However, Fenton's brilliantly varie gated and enlarged eye appears to ho the- only serious effect CORE OF THE EARTH. One of the Enigmas of Nature That Science Cannot Solve, Human beings know only a mere skin of the surface, of the earth, not more than thirty miles deep, while the globe is 8,000 miles in diameter. There is probably no oxygen at all below thirty miles, and It is difficult to guess what are the elements within. Prob ably the heaviest . elements form a dense core near the center. , v It Is In some rsnwt most alarming, that we are so com pletely devoid of any direct knowledge of theonstituents of the vast mass of globe beueath us and really only know the merest film. A skin or mem brane one-twentieth of . an inch In thickness (the .thickness of kid or brown pnpoii spread over a ball a lit tle more 'than a foot in diameter repre sents y the proportion . between the the known crust of the earth thirty miles thick und the great globe itself. We tin dependent on inference and speculation for our notions as to the constitution of all that is beneath the mere aklu of thirty miles thickness on the globe's surface! Even what is thrown up by the blgReBt volcanoes does not come from below this depth or tell us what Ilea bidden there.' Ex change. . , Helter Skelter. "Ilelter skelter" has been sugges tively tlcfinp.1 as a Jingling expression vaguely imitating the hurried, clatter of feet rapidly und irregularly moved. Most dictionaries, however, led astray probably by the ordinary orthography, have missed the true etymology of this phrase. It should be "belter kelter." "Belter" Is an old word for "hang," probably connected with baiter, and "kelter" is used by old 'Writers In the sense of "older"' or the proper state. Thus Barrow, the dlvii. says. "If the organs of prayer be out of kelter how can we prnyV "Ilelttr skelter." there fore, is literally "hang order" and meanl. "OI. hang order: let us do it, or let It take Its cuuiiee." . Ben Jon son in ."Every Man In Ills Humor" writes. "Heiter skelter, hung sorrow, care 'II kill a cat." and Shakespeare, using it to express rush and : hurry, says, "Belter skelter have 1 rode to thee." Horseradish as a Vegetable. In Germany horseradish la frequent ly made into an excellent cooked vege table which goes particularly well with boiled mutton or chicken fricassee. It is made as follows.' Xlrate as usual and stew till tender in butter; mix well with grated Parker House rolls, one cupful of the latter to three of the horseradish, and boll up once more, adding a heaping teaspoonful of sugar. Served with very firmly jellied cur rant Jelly, scooped out with a teaspoon and laid in solid little ovals like a wreath round the white mound of horseradish, this delectable dish looks almost as good as it tastes. Subur banlte. . .. . The Attraction. Tourist-I must confess that I can't see why so many people want to come here no scenery, no amusements, no good things' to eat, absolutely no at tractions.
