PLANS ADVANCED FOR
SCHOOL BOOK AUDIT
Audits of the books of the 142 school
districts of Clackamas county as pre
scribed by the law passed at the last
session of the legislature, is progress
ing, and according to Auditor C. A..
Chambers, who is in charge of the
work, should te completed by the' lat
ter part of August.
There is, according to Mr. Cham
bers, no financial discrepancy in anjr
of the funds, so fas as his audits have
gone. The work, however, is encoun
tering considerable difficulty due to
the fact that many of the books are
not kept according, to form and that
enteries and balances are not checked
out by the various clerks.
In some districts, however, says Mr.
Chambers, the books are very well
kept, and it takes but very little time
to audit them. As the other extreme
of this, he cites one example where
the books of one district were in such
muddled condition ,than an audit re
quired 20 Hours, wnen completed, i
was found that nothing was wrong
with the condition of the funds, but
that the records were not in suitable
shape. This, he says, is due to the
fact that the majority of school clerks
are not practical booldkieepisrs and
follow a system of their own rather
than any uniform system prescribed
by the superintendent's office.
To offset this difficulty and make
the audit, which is now annually re
quired by law ,an easy matter, an in
expensive to the taxpayers, Mr. Cham
bers has two solutions. The first so
Jutioii he proposes is to send an ac
countant among the clerks of the dis
tricts and give them each individual
instruction in the keeping of their
records. The objection to this plan
is that it would entail consiaerame
expense.
The second plan outlined is to eon
duct a elass'some afternoon o? eve
ning at which all of the clerks would
be present, giving them uniform in
struction in the methods of keeping
their ecords.
When the audit is completed this
year, the books will be in first class
condition. Keeping1 them in this
shape, Mr. Chambers point out, will
result in a considerable saving to the
various districts, both throughout the
year, and at the end of the year when
the audits have to be made.
" Child Victim Of Automobiles
A Iargfe percentage of the many automobile acci
dents consist of . cases in which children are run over.
It happens frequently that a child will suddenly dart
into the street in front of a motor car. This is apt to
happen when a ball is thrown or hit into the highway,
but often some vagrant impulse of the child mind leads
a little fellow to make a bee line across the thoroughfare
in pursuit of some objective known only to him.
The fact that the little one was clearly the cause
of his own misfortune, does not make the outcome any
easier for the parents. And so great numbers of homes
are at this moment suffering the loss of their hopes,
and must bear the weight of a lifelong sorrow, on ac-.
count of the fleeting suggestion that sent their offspring
darting into the path of a flying car.
A child's training must equip it to meet the perils
of the life about him. It is not much use to teach him
to brush his teeth and to chew his food slowly, unless
he is also trained to deal with the perils existing on the
street in front of his house.
Every child has the right to some free swing, in
which he can throw balls and run bases and play tag
to his heart's content. But millions of children have
no playground but he streets, and any well traveled
thoroughfare is too perilous for use for a playground
as things now are. The homes and schools must drill
it into the children until they know it as well as their
right hand from their left, that they must look out for
cars when they venture into the streets.
The automobile drivers of Qregon City jshould
reflect that they run a chance of creating a lifelong sor
row for others and unending regret for themselves, if
they run over a child, even if the latter is to blame.
They should consider that a child may at any moment
run out from behind a standing automobile, and when
passing through towns should go slowly enough so they
can stop if a youngster does something unexpected.

OREGON CITY TOURISTS
GET CLOSEUP OF RACE
Ringside seats for the 1000-mile road
race from Reno. This was luck of Mr
and Mrs.. W. R. Logus, of this city
who are on their way on an automobile
trip from here to Yellowstone park. Ia
passing through Ely, Nevada, they
heard of the race and stayed over
for five day s in order to witness it
A Lincoln, Essex, Ford and Buick,
started from Reno on the lnOO-mile
road run July 1. '
Mr. and Mrs. Logus, touring from
Tonopah to Denver passed the Lincoln
and Essex cars on the road between
j onopan ana n;iy, ana gave an in
teresting account of what they saw.
As described by them, when they were
crossing; what might be called an old
dry lake covered with volcanic ash
they sighted the Lincoln coming at
full speed. The tourists realized the
oar was approaching a bad place an.l
pulled out of the road to one side to
get a picture of the car. A few sec
onds later the driver blinded by the
ilour-like dust smashed into a gulley
crossing the road a short distance
trom where they had stopped to ob
serve the racer. Just then a cloud of
dust like vapor enveloped the car and
almost completely shut it out from
view. Suddenly the mechanician
sprang to his feet and shouted to tin
driver right! left! ric;ht' left! stop!
The driver applied the brakes and
slid the wheels of the car, and dis
covered that they had almost miracu
lously escaped a crash that would like
livelihood, look these facts squarely , ter-
in the face and ponder well: . , -'ms "
The theatrical world is tragicaly J hard, and eheppinS both together,
THE WOMAN CITIZEN
overcrowded: MaflagFs say they are
always looking for really great actors
but would never advertise or they
would be besieged by hundreds 'Of
girls who want to act, but never could
succeed at it. It would be unfair to
these to give them the least encourage
ment. Out of hundreds who are try
ing to make money from the eitage
only" a few have positions which pax a
living wage. Most stage positions ans
hearsal and these are not paid for.
Many fine actors are so frequently out
of a regular job that they are continu
ally "filling" in" and taking places
which moderately capable actors
might fill and make this work harder
to get. Many rich girls are so "stage-
struck" that they pay a- commission
for the privilege of acting without pay,
and i.hey act well, too. This makes
hard for an actress to earn money at
the work.
Even stars may not twinkle con-
tinualy, but their popularity is un
certain, after years of working up. .
Expenses, for gowns, living, etc., are
so high that little is left after these
are paid. Hours are often strenuous,
living while traveling unwholesome.
and the moral atmosphere is often,
though not always degrading. If a girl
is strong of character and ambitious,
t,he may be trusted to keep herself
honorable, although the stage life
offers many temptations such as are
not found in other life.
The "romance" of the stage life is
found to evaporate upon closer con
tact. Poverty and long, hard and poor
ly paid work are more the rule than
romance."
Much of the life of the would-be ac
tress is spent in the offices of man
agers looking for a job. This is true
even after one considers herself estab
lished, as regular actresses aro much
of the time out of work.
Schools and agencies which offer to
train for tne stage and find positions
ire apt to be unworthy ot confidence,
althougih there are a few good one
Perhaps the best way for the actress
o train for the job is tot begin at the
bottom in some place where she can
get work.
All of this will not discourage the
real actress who has that indefinable
personality and genius to succeed, for
nothing can discourage uuch.

The Streets and trtilities.
Most of our streets are networked
with underground systems of improve
ments, each put in at a separate time,
judging by the innumerable times our
pavements have to be U rn up. It is
seldom that the pavement is put back
"as good as new" and it would be
much better if these gas, water, sewer,
electric light and telephone matters
could all be arranged before the street
is paved.
Burried as they are it is hard to de
tect where repairs are needed. Some
times a chart of a city's improvements
will be lost and then it is most dif
ficult to keep the system ia order.
A new and better way is being tried
in some cities. Instead of having here
a water main, there a sower, some
where else the pipe with the telephone
tre, and at another place the electric
light cable; to build under the streets
a good sized tunnel through which, in
separate pipes inn, all, these vari-.
ous utilities. This is more expensive
to build as first cost, but cheaper to
-nah'tain. Such a tunnel can be en
tered easily by workmen who can in
spect the systems and keep them iu
repair, and can easily find any difficul
ty; and after the pavement is once
down, it can stay down. 1 he following
selected verses state the case against
the present method:
"No Thorofare!"
They took a little gravel.
And they took a little tar,
With various ingredients
Imported from afar.
They hammered it and rolled it.
And then they went away
They said they had a pavement
That would last for many a day.
But they came with picks and smote it
To lay a water main;
And then they called the workmen
To put it back aagin.
They took it up for wires
To feed the 'lectric light.
And then they put it back again,
Which was no more than right.
6h, the pavement's full of furrows;
There are patches everywhere;
You'd like to ride upon it,
But ' its seldom that you dare.
It's very handsome pavemt-iit,
A credit to your town.

Summer Short Cut
It is wisdom always to take the
short cuts in housework. Life is so
much a choosing and there are so
many things more worth while than
mere food and raiment. Time was
when woman's sole activity was in the
home and her conscience was not sat
isfied unless she took the longest and
hardest way to keep the premises im
maculate, dampening and ironiog all
the rags and scrubbing the kitchen
floor on her knees. Now we have learn
ed to choose only the most necessary
demands for our time and to apply
modern invention to the aid of our
housework.
SANDWICHES.
The sandwich is one of the best of
culinary inventions. It is a convenient
and pleasant form of serving a balan
ced ration. With) a drink or a fruit, it
an make a whole meal. The prmclpl j

It is the easiest way to butter the

Mrs. Logus said that she had never

eyes before they could s?e anything.

for a change. A crisp lettuce leaf in-
proves the freshness, appearance and
taste of the sandwich, but a wilted
leaf makes the whole look sUtle and
disgusting. Some people cut the crust
from the sandwich and that makes it
more delicate, but some think the
crust is the best part and it helps to
hold the sandwich In form. Especial
care should be taken to spread the
bread to the edge and not to leave a
rim ot .dry, unseasoned crust.
Almost anything one likes may be
used as sandwich filling Chopped
meat of any kind may be made into a
In summer, when everybody needs a
vacation, and yet the family must be
served three meals daily, it-is special
Iy important that the housewife take
the short cuts. There are many ways
of doing this.
All the bric-a-brac which makes the
house look cozy in winter could be
stored out of sight for summer. Tbut
would give the house an airiness and
roominess which is appropriate for hot
weather.
When the business world is less
strenuous, as it is in summer, all mem
bers of the family could take a turn at
the housework program. A change is
a rest and the doing of a share of the
labor would be somewhat cf a vacation
lark for those members of the family
who are not used to it, if they will look
at it in the right mood.
Clothirfs for sioTt and play has.
wisely become simple in style. Shop
and office girls are wearing apron-like
dresses to work. Little children are
wearing the bloomer-and-smock com
bination and nothing else for play.
These may be dark, serviceable mater
ials with little white to make a great
ileal of washinig. Why should children,
who are not careful about get
ting into the dirt, be in white while
their elders are in black or navy blue ?
It is not because we are so sanitary
and want to boil all their clothing. We
do not boil there shoes which tramp
continually rn the street dirt. It is
merely custom which we can defy.
The' food propositition may be sim
plified 'by sjarving' fruit instead of
baked desserts and by patronizing .1ih
cooked food shops occassionally, es
pecially the bakery, to save Mother
hours in the hot kitchen. The fireles-i
cooker, forethought, and careful selec
tion help to sav hours for the house
wife without any noticable sacrifice
for her family.
Another way to save housework is
jo live as much as possible in the open.
The woods, the park, the back yard,
and the porch as arenas for family
activity keep much clutter and soil out
of the house. Then, too, with so little
occupancy it is not necessary to keep
the indoors quite so scrupously on
"dress parade."
HAPPY THOUGHT
The Want-Ad Vorked
The editor lost him umbrella,
But being worldly wise. ,
He ran a want-ad in his paper
In which he did advise
That Jhe finder kindly keep it;
And, having no replies,
He reports, "The finder did so.
It pays- to advertise."
BLIND INSTRUCTOR
TO TEACH AT OREGON
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu
gene, July 13. A blind instructor will
teach at the University of Oregon
next year, it has been announced.
Thomas D. Cutsforth, of Riddle, Ore
gon, and an alumnus of the University,
will be graduate assistant in the de
partment of psychology.
In spite of total blindness, he won
a reputation for scholarship while a
student at the University and contrib
uted in an important way to the
psychology of the blind. Upon gradu
ation he became a teacher in the high
school at Riddle, Oregon.. In addi
tion to teaching ancient, medieval, and
modern, English and- American his
tory, civics, biology with laboratory,
and general science with laboratory,
he introduced wrestling- into the high
school and coached it. He later in
troduced soccer and coached it also.
He is probably the only blind athletic
coach in the state.
With unseeing eyes but with a wide
capacity for enjoyment, he spends hib
summer vacation, fishing, hunting,
and hiking. He says he has taken in
nearly everything in Southern Oregon
In his ramble through the mountains
he has picked up an interesting collec
tion of fossil marine animals for use in
his general science and biology
classes.
Mr. Cutsforth wil Itake up his duties
at the University of Oregon at th;
beginning of the fall term, the 24th if
September.

WASHINGTON, July 14. Japan's
acceptance of President Harding's
suggestion that a conference to dis
cuss limitation of armaments was re
ceived at the state department ta
day, but made no reference to the
question of a discussion of the Far
Eastern "question.
Unqualified acceptance by the Chi
nese government also was received.
IState department officials would make
no comment on the form of the Ja
panese reply, which was not made
public in text.
Silence of ,the Japanese govern
ment' as to discussion of Far East
ern problems was not believed, how
ever, to have interposed any senous
cbstacle to the carrying out of the
plan. It was indicated that the for
mal invitation would be forwarded
to Japan, as to the powers which have-
transmit,ted full and unqualified ac
ceptance, and it the end, officials be
lieved, Japan would agree to partici
pation in the dual program.
The J&paneSe reply --as made
through the American embassy at To
kio, which" .is understood not to have
supplemented it with any explanation.
Unofficial dispatches from Tokio and
from London have created the !i;t:
pression that Japan would be willing
to join in a frank discussion of the
Fnr Eastern questions, although other
informal dispatches also have indi
cated that th3 Tokio government must
move with caution Rn account of the
political factions and schools of
thought in Japan.
WASHINGTON, July 14 The house
foreign affairs committee today re
ported favorably a resolution request
ing the president to invite participa
tion by foreign governments in an
exhibition to be held in 1925 at Port
