FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
EUGENE, Or.. June 3. One Of the
warmest discussions of the whole
grange session was on the following
paragraph in the educational commi
tee report which was real this morn
ing: "We recommend that the state
board of education ' immediately re
quire agriculture as one of the sub
jects in the course of study for the
completion of an elementary teachers'
training course." The clause was
adopted. The clause favoring tho
county unit plan of school alministia-
tion which will do away with the
present plan of local school directors
electing the teachers, was tabled.
Miss Mary V. Muley, of Tillamook,
made probably the strongest plea for
the requirement of teaching agrlccl
ture in grade schools.
W. S. U'Ren presented the plan of
the "People's Power League," during
a recess called for the purpose this
forenoon. In answer to a query, "13
it single tax?" U'Ren assured his hear
ers it was neither single, iouble, triple
nor quadruple, but "that question
can be settled after "this other is ad
opted." which this suave speaker as
sured his hearer "will be" and when
this" is adopted he "thinks all the
wheels will turn round and our pre
sent "unparallelled condition" will be
properly . adjusted. Explaining,
every voter will be registered accord
ing to occupation (and women will
then have a recognized occupation as
housewives) one anxious "brother"'
inquired, "won't that give the women
an advantage over the men?" and am
idst the roars of laughter, U'Ren said
they "should have." This Power
League plan was warmly discussed
pro and con but an expression of the
grange as a body was not asked for.
Fred Goff of Roseburg mads a strong
aJk on what he considers the falla
cies of such a proposition teling U'Ren
that if seventy five per cent of the
voters were of the uneducated cl;v-s
were in power, that the twenty-five
per cent of educated legislation would
still rule, so nothing could be gained
from his scheme. Goff said the af
fairs of the nation were on the ui
grade and that our present organiza
tions are able to cope with any need
of the country.
U'Ren said his system is new nev
er having been tried as a whole,
which to the conservatives, was no
pecial recommend!
However, Goff's reference to the
uneducated" brought up the hottest
iscussion of the session.
A memorial hour was hold this p.

DR. MORRIS'
SON IS
BADLY
INJURED
Bobby, eight-year-od son of Dr. aud
Mrs. L. A. Morris, Is suffering from
bruises on his body and a severe
shaking up due. to an accident thn.l
occurred at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Goodfellow in Portland
while Dr. 'and Mrs. Morris and their
son, accompanied by Mis. Morris"
mother, Mrs. Robert Goodfellow were
visiting at the Goodfellow home.
The child was swinging in the
large swing, when in some manner
he lost his hold while about 25 feot
in the air. When falling tbe little
fellow struck on the back of his head
inflicting several bad cuts on tho
head, which rendered him unconsci
ous. When returning to Oregron Citv
Dr. Frank Mount was summoned, who
found the child suffering from a se
vere shaking up, but no bones were
broken, but it will be about a week
before he will be able to be out.
It was a miraculous escape for the
child since he fell heavily on his
head

S THE WOMAN CITIZEN
Some women, In urging the passage
of the Sheppard-Towner Maternity
and Infancy Bill, have met with the
reply from their congressmen that
they "greatly desire economy and re
gret that the things women want call
for increased expenditure of money.'
It Is interesting to note in this con
nection that of the expenditures of the
government in 1920. 92.8 was spent
for present armaments and past wars :
3.2 for Administration of the Gov
ernment: 3 for Public Works, Har
bors, rivers, roads, parks, etc.; and
ONLY ONE PERCENT FOR PUBLIC
WELFARE.
Can you visualize that? Only about
one-tenthousandth of our national ex
penditure is for women and children
welfare work, to save the lives of oui
16,000 new mothers and more than a
quarter of a million babies who die
unnecessarily in America each year.
To Keep Moths Out.
Woolen garments should be hung in
the air the hot sun it it can be done
without fading them and then brush
ed to get out all moth eggs .which
might be on them. Spots should be
cleaned, as dirt attracts moths. They
may then be hung up in bags of paper
bought at the stores especially for this
purpose; or they may be hung in bags
of heavy cloth stitched up on the ma
chine after the garments are in them;
or they may be folded away in suit
boxes with strips of paper pasted over
the edges to keep moths out; or they
nay be stored m cedar chest or closet.
which are generally moth proof; or
key may be put in any tight recep
tacle with moth balls or other chem
ical preparation distasteful to moths.

ARREST THREE ON AUTO THEFT
Chief of Police Hadley and Frank
Wagenblast arrested two men and

Co., of Salem. Advices from Salem
were to hold them until Mr. OIsotiv
lure of it! Keenly she noticed all pass
ers by: young people, gay, vigorous
and gorgeous; successful people, con
fident and poised: and some, like
herself, ill at ease. Had they, too
spent life "under a mishel" while, un
acquainted, the world slipped by?
Upon a heavily be-laced-curtain
door Mrs. Keith rapped. From be
hind the geraniums, which, in pots and
cans, obsured the front window, a
slickly combed head peeped curiously
out and, satisfied, Mrs. Andrews open
ed the door.
The house, like its mistress, was
immaculate but fussy and old-fashioned.
Mrs. Andrews was piecing an
elaborate quilt. "It helps to pass away
time," she explained. "Mr. Andrews
and the children are home so little
Taint like it use to be in the good
old days. We didn't have lime to gad.
m -awful glad you come, Mrs. Keith;
folks don't call like they used to.
Everybody's getting so selfish."
"Everybody is so busy," suggested
Mrs. Keith.
"I don't know what they're doing,"
whined Mrs. Andrews, "a lot of fool
ishness. I fancy. Looks like the world
is going straight to the bad." She
shook her head dejectedly, but added
"I wont allow this modern nonsense
around me. Taint like it used to be
in the good old times."
Mrs. Keith's eyes openod wide.
Kenneth's words occurred to her, "I
don't wonder Pete Andrews spends
most of his time down town." She
could understand Mrs. Andrews, and
sympathize; but also began to un
derstand rete and sympathize. Mrs.
Andrews had been a woman to be
proud of in her day but that day was
past.
With relief Mrs. Keith stepped out
of the stuffy little parlor into a dif
ferent atmosphere. "Present day life
is different," she meditated; every
body works and plays harder and
faster; but education is higher, busi
ness more honest; private life more
open; political and public life cleaner,
philanthropies reaching classes form
erly neglected, standards of living
are raised; and the people doing
these things are modern people. They
must, then, be in line of progress."
Mrs. Keith wanted to get in line.
A brisk walk brought her within
hearing and then sight of Mrs.
Greer's. As usual, ft was overflowing
with young-bloods. Lusty singing ac
companied an air which someone was
pounding out on the piano. Upstairs
girls were combing ono another's
hair the newest fashion, powdering
noses, and touching lip-Mick to al
ready rosy lips. i
Is- Mrs. Greer at home." Mrs.
Keith inquired timidly of a laughing
group on the veranda. '
"Why, Mrs. Keith, come right in." A
lithe figure rose to greet her.
"Oh, I though you were one of the
-Ws. apologized Mrs. Keith.
"I almost forget I'm not," beamed
Vrs. Greer.
The young people brought her a
chair and accepted her easily. ' She
had feared she would be a "kill-joy'
and they would leave when sh came,
but nobody made a move to go.

& GASOLINE AS A CLEANER
Gasoline is a dangerous article. If

person of mature judgement who un

keep it in the house increases the
insurance because it is a known fire
liability, but wisely used, it is ' one
of our most helpful cleaning allies.
Almost any fabrics may be "dry
cleaned" in gasoline. Soap may be
added where used, and then the gar
ment rinsed to get the soap out. To
use gasoline for washing garments Oo
it thus, and NEVER OVER A FIRE:
Set the dish containing the gasoline
to be heated into a large dish of hot
water and cover all to keep In the
