good candidate that they missed.

An experienced business man Is one who realized that
'the chap who called six times while he was out isn't' try

' Why should anyone want to go to the ends of the earth
'for thrills when so many are provided here at home )y
our ievoluting civilization?
-"Qucen Mary experienced her 58th birthday recently

I NOT A QUESTION OK HOW.
f The supreme court decision that the Oregon compulsoiy
k'hool law is unconstitutional and therefore invalid is nut
(surprising. Parental right to determine how their children'
thall be educated and where tliev shall be educated is not
to be questioned. The constitution protects the individu.il
iigainst such legislation but it does- not prevent, legislation
providing compulsory education of some kind for children
fy certain ages, whether it be given in public, parochial, or
private institutions. Tho primary consideration of tin
people of Oregon should be that their future citizens be
educated to a reasonable degree, competent to take theti'
places in the community, equipped to .share the burdens
l'f life. That can be compulsory, but it is beyond the power
of the legislature to say where and how it shall be accomp
lished. j

these improvements, or similar improvements seeking to
rccomphsh the same purposes, will have to be approved
by the voters of the city sooner or later if they are not
fissured tomorrow. It is true that the city might continue
on the present basis without serious disaster or serious
cost for another two or three years or more: but it is e ;-
tiemely doubtful if such action could he backed by good
business logic. Today it is a question of whether or no:
the community wishes to take a chance of further delay,
whether or not we can afford to economize by turning
these improvements down, whether or not we are willing i
to spend now for the sake of making substantial savings I
later.

TONE NOIL
PARIS (AP) -A wise old owl,
in murble, standlnif Just outside this
year's Halon, seems to wink know
ingly ut urrlving visitors, as 1f to
hint to them thut they will find
something new Inside. The owl is
a fine specimen of sculpture and as
u symbol of the good sense that
hus prevailed In the selection of
the pictures shown this year, he it
regarded by critics as being right.
The choice collection of art the
two leading societies jot together is
due, in the first instance, to the
fact thut the International Impo
sition of Decorative Arts drove
them out of the Grand Tulais. They
took refuge In temporary haniacks
ulong the Heine, in the Tuih-rics
gardens, where they have about
half the space provided In their
usual quarters on the Champs Kty
sees. KoverH of art say it was a
happy accident. It raised the av
erage merit of the canvases shown.
accentuating the contrast between
art of the classical school and the
efforts of the modernists who have
made of the Decorative Arts Im
position an affair which lias Incited
sharp criticism und discussion. ,
There Is a good deal of sun.shine,
lots of refreshing green, many pas
toral studies that show a healthier
selection of subjects, and u great
deal less of the art that looks as If
It had been put onto canvas with a
spade. The subjects are not only
more wholesome, but the technitnu!
Is more In lino with what the pro
fane would think to be the proper
way of making a picture look like
the subject it is supposed to por-
t ray.
Hobbed hair does not yet seem
to have appealed to the artist. Por
traits of women are palsied with
tile full 'allotment of nature. The
nude is discreet in point of volume,
as well as in respect to treat ne nt.
There are some striking canvases
in this department that will prob
ably some day find their way Into
public galleries. That the influ
ence of till? var on art i3..w;intng
is one of the lessons of the show.
Military subjects are rare, and
those that are shown are painted
not to glorify heroism but lo show
the horrors of war. This is par
ticularly noticeable in the sculp
ture section. In late ears this de
partment has looked like a large
cemetery, moat of the subjects hav
ing been made to serve as monu
ments to the dead on the field of
battle. . This year there are very
few pieces that suggest wor or mil
itarism. The success that has followed
the decisions of the jury in cutting
down the show without doing in
justice to any meritorious work,
will, some critics believe, result in
a continuation of tho policy of
more careful weeding than lias
prevailed of late years. It will
also, they think, prove a great ben
efit to artists. Inciting them to
greater effort when it once again
becomes certain that mediocre
works will in future slum! small
chance of admission.

liKWKlt, Coin. A I t'haVlea
W. Henderson, mineral geographer
of the railed Slates Geological sur
vey, points out I hat even a moun
tain cup not engage in "galloping"
without pausing to "catch its
breath." He believes I hut the
''moving mountain" on the highway
between Meeker and I line. 'olo.,
may be resting for a not her slide
into the l:io Blanco valley.
A number of large cracks have
appeared across the base of 1he
mountain, and this, according to
Henderson, indicates that the base
of the peak is weakening. If this
base, a stratum of sandstone, gives
away, the mountain is expected to
slip farther into the valley.
Geologist u attribute the move
ment of the mountain partly to a
"physical amputation" of Its base,
made for the construction of the
highwuy. This slicing of the peak's
toe apparently tiiset its equilib
rium, t hey say.
