Fairbanks tonight will ijnisij a real treat. His lecture is entertaining as well as in structive and h is s practical application of art is a revela tion to the layman. The lecture begins at eight o'clock. And it's free. , ' Tomorrow m the final day of the Institute a day that will be crowded with interesting features. Dr. Moore, Port land child specialist; Miss Beers, home efficiency engineer; Mrs. McClean, cooking and table service expert these are the attractions. The formal luncheon to be demonstrated by Mrs. McClean in the afternoon will be a most appropriate climax to the excellent work she has done throughout the Institute. The eighteen measures that will appear on the Oregon ballot ' for the November election contain about 6!5,000 words,' according to the Oregon Voter. If heavy reading is inclined to irritate voters, the "safe NO" is very likely to prove popular again. Citizens should familiarize them iselyes with the provisions of tho measures and vote ac icordingly especially when to do otherwise may cost us, unconsciously, considerable money and annoyance. - I o-r rr,- - w y WK DISLIKK OURSELVES. An Englishman writes the New York Times recently to comment on the unpopularity of Americans abroad, plac ing the blame chiefly on the poor sportsmanship of our citizens visiting there and on our wry evident lack of na tional modesty, lie writes as follows: ; Whenever an American coniMtc.s in any con test or game witness yesterday at the hoi-se show ; n Qlyn.ipifl .and vjns, the Americans are wild in i their cheers and applause, but they never raise a hand or utter a sound for any other. ! I well remember the last Harvard and Cam-" bridgo boat race. Our men won. On the return of the boats, your men had a splendid reception from the banks of the Thames from all of us, but the Americans wore mute for the English. And so it is now.. There are inany visitors from your country, lint on electric train or tram or bus the American accent is heard in disparagement or in open dislike. Friends I have in Paris tell me it is much the same there. The' general tone adopted seems "We own the woiid," a slogan following' "We won the war." Can you "'wonder Americans are not popular and that the Britisher thinks they need the lesson that dollars have their limit? for they cannot buy lik ing, much less respect. The difficulty, lies largely, wc believe, in the type of Americans who are numerous in England on such occa sions. It is not necessary to describe the newly-rich or snobbish citizens who have nothing more to do than so journ at British hotels and attend international sporting events in large numbers. We have them over here, as well, and find them as distasteful as do the British sub jects. Contrary Id the English opinion, all Americans arc not quite that bad, nor are all the American tourists. The tiuth, which would result in a different understanding and a new liking, we believe, cannot be taught them, however, under present circumstances. The likeable and tho most typical American provincial though he may be is at home busy with some kind of a productive job. in ttfhfat SAN FltANCIKCO, July 15. (AH llullerfiit r.o.b.
