Health To clear tho skin of pimples or, as this condition Is designated, of acne, Is no simple task. Scrupulous cleanliness and " perserveranco In treatment are essential to success. To begin with, the sufferer's per sonal hygiene, and particularly his diet and dletlc habits, must be scrut inized and corrected whorever thoy aro defective Too many arc Inclined to consider plmplos as merely a local skin blemish', forgetting tlftit the Hkln Is deeply affected by tho consti tution and tho working of the other body organs. Tho HUfforer should obey the com- thou merry month complete; M ay thy very name is sweet!" THIS being Jay, we'd like to drop back through his tory a few hundred years and see the May-pole which James II (then the Prince of Wales) caused to be erected in The Strand, London. The king wanted a kingly May-pole .'. . a big one! So the topmost tuft of flowers and ribbons waved from a shaft ten stories high ! But the part we like best about old May Day customs was bringing in the hawthorn blossoms. The young folks did this; starting off "a-Maying" early in the morning through every country lane, they brought back enough branches to deck every house in the vill age. There's something about this Maytime that makes us long to bring the Spring indoors. Have you thought yet about crisp ruffled curtains and cool, flower shaded slip-cover and thin summer rugs, for your own rooms? A cotton bedspread is new pleasure, and just slipping your pillows into print and gingham covers cheers up the indoor atmosphere. Saves fine fabrics from dust and fading too. So it's pleasant to change dress indoors for Summer and thrifty to take advantage of the many special of fei 'ings in the advertisements. The stores have many fresh, novel new things for Spring and prices are sur prisingly low. IRWIN FINISHES IN SECOND PLACE IN LOW HURDLES La Grande High school's track and field team closed Its competition for the ' spring at Corvailis Saturday, scoring 3 1-9 points in tne staxe meet. Hughey Irwin, who turned to hurd ling halfway through the season, fin ished second In the finals after win nlng his morning heat In 26.5 sec onds, three-fifths or a second faster than tho winning time In the Eastern Oregon meet here. In which Irwin al so ran second. Hogensou contributed tho 1-9 point, tying with eight other boys for fourth place in tne nigh Jump. Hoacnson leaped 5 feet 8 In ches, one of hla best Jumps of the year. Walden, Javelin thrower, did better than he had done at anytime this spring with a throw of 150 feet, but It wasn't quite good enough to place, atitt leaped 10 feet 7 Inches in the broad Jump, Just short of qualifying. Other members of the team did well but simply were outclassed In their respective events. Coach Ira Woodle, upon his return with the team last night, reported general opposition among the upstate .coaches agulnst the district scoring plan, which he said, gave Portland schools all the best of it. Indications are that there may be some change In. this method before next spring. Washington High of Portland won the meet with one more point than Grant High, favored to cop the title. Orant's relay team was ruled out be cause of a technical violation, similar to one that cost Pendleton High the Eastern Oregon relay victory In La Grande this year. Pour records were broken and one tied. Pendleton scor ed but three, points. mon rules of good, personal hygiene regular hours, plenty of sleep, exer elso In the open, simple diet. Fruits and vegetables should have a, prominent place and he should avoid stimulants, such as tea, coffee and alcohol. Yu local treatmont, the affected parts should be washed thoroughly with hot water and soap. If the skin is not too tender, and when It Is rough, a gentle pumice atone soap may be used. When the skin has been so washed, It should be dried and alcohol applied. if the pimples are large and numerous and contain much pus. It may become desirable to open them as they "ripen." The technique for doing this should be loarned from' your physician, who will also prescribe a lotion to bo applied to the skin after the pus evacuation has been' accom plished. Certain cases of acne benefit by troatment with ultrrt-vlolet irradia tion. This, too, must be administered under medical supervision, except when the Irradiation Is taken In the form of sunburn on the beach or in the open country. Precaution should bo taken against excessive burning. LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, LA GRANDE. ORE. Sport Slants lly Alan J. Gould Unbutton your ears, my friends and listen to the extraordinary storj of Francis A. Schmidt, about whom more will be heard this fall as head coach of football at Ohio State unl verslty. At the outset It Is a bedtime story. Schmidt, It seems, has a habit of hanging pad and pencil on a string tied to the bed bo that he can jot down gridiron notes as they may occur to him between snoozes. "Add a 160-watt bulb to the note book and pencil and 'Schmlddy' will be satisfied," writes Johnnie Porter, sports editor of the Fort Smith (Ark.) Southwest - Times Record.' "I am speaking for one who occupied the same bed with the angular Kansan for a couple years when Francis was leading the Arkansas Razorbacks out of the athletic wilderness." A Coaching 'Edison' "That guy la the hardest working coach; In the United States. Even the late' Thomas A. Edison man aged to get In more rest from his Job than Schmidt, who was unhap py if he didn't work, at least 18 hours a day. He slept with a pad and stub pencil under his pillow and as many as three or four times a night he snapped out of slumber, yanked the light cord and Jotted down something which later was to cause rival coaches anxious moments. "He reads every sports Item that drifts his way and especially Btudies pictures of athletes In action. I remember on one occasion he saw a picture of a Texas high Jump er clearing the bar at a lair height. Schmlddy picked out a flaw In the Jumper's form, told him and the Texas coach about It (after the con ference meet was ended)- and the Jumper (I forget his name) went on to win the national collegiate title later that spring." "There are lots of things of In terest about this enterprising fellow who coached a high school team In Kansas, Henry Kendall college (now Tulsa university), Arkansas and Texas Christian before stepping into the big league, but his versatility is amazing. . "He was a star baseball player and grldder at Nebraska, but never played baaketbaliw-the 1 sport that brought him perhapa his greatest achievement as a coach. He was awarded an A.B. and LL.D. degree at Nebraska and later practiced ' law. While at TulBa he played the 'lead' cornet In the1 National Shrine band. He plays a banjo, guitar, violin or piano ' with equal ease and sings quite well. '" - As an achltect he is above the average and Is an expert In watch and clock repairing, as well as In photography. The fellow who wrote the adage 'Jack of all trades and master of none' apparently never heard of Schmidt. He Is good at nil of 'em. Oh, yeah, he volunteered for service nt the outbreak of the World war and emerged, after active service on the other side, as a captain of infantry. Maybe he won't win the Big Ten football title his first year up. but that 'pencil and pad story Is no myth and the word might as well be passed along to rival mentors who work un der the able supervision of Major John L. Griffith. He'll keep 'em awake many nights trying to figure out ways of stopping his strategic moves." LEONHARDT VICTOR IN SCHOOL RACE (Continued From Page One) pects it would be completed tomor row sometime. There were no races close enough In this county, election officials be lieve, that an official count would change the result gathered from the unofficial totals, although a variance of a few votes here and there was ex pected.
