Coach Hargiss report that he in fairly well satisfied with the prog ress the squad has made this week. Member have not as jet shown any real class, but are coming along slowly, which is the programme that fits in with the Ideas of the coach, harriss says: If a team shows up brilliantly one evening as early In the. season as this. It is more than an even chance that it will be on the dumps the next evening. Coming too fast means ir regularity, while a team that Is slow ly improving and learning as it goes is much more, apt to be steady and dependable." Hooka Give Srrlsiaiite. Scrimmage with the first-year squad has been the order all the week, and the husky rooks have fur nished no end of competition. With the exception of a few of the men who have slight injuries, the entire squad has been driving along at a good clip.

There is really no dope on the outcome of this. game, as Stan ford baa not played American foot ball for several years. It is reported that they have a strong aggregation, as a number of the men played foot ball in their prep school days, and have had considerable experience at the game. Some of the men were in service teams over the country last year and gained valuable experience there. eata Art Bcmcrved. Requests for seat reservations at the home-coming game are already being received by James J. Richard son, general manager. It Is expected that the seating capacity of 000 per. sons will be laxea w m en the :0th.

BANK "RUNS" ON PATRONS Fairbanks Institution. (Juittlng, Finally In load Hoard. SEWARD. Alaska. Oct. IS. (Spe cial. I The Farmers' bank at Fair banka had trouble in getting its de positors to relieve it of the money they had left in its keeping when it decided to go out pf business the other day. but has finally succeeded in divesting itself of the unwelcome h os rd. - True, the bank slipped a cog or so in its calculations when it supposed the thing could be put ever with - ease. Extensive advertising that it was through with that deposited coin and wanted the owners to come around and get It not later than a certain day proved fruitless. But It finally hit upon a plan that worked. Runners, equipped with suitcases laden with good, spendable legal tender were seat around to all depositors. Tbey dumped the stuff out to each according to his right and with the ultimatum: "Now take It or not. as you please; here we leave It." SALT LAKE CITY. Oct. 11. Senator Hiram W. Johnson, who last night completed his transcontinental cam paign against acceptance of the league of nations covenant without amendments, left today for Washing ton to resume his fight in the senate. Before leaving he gave out the fol lowing statement: "It has been a wonderful trip. I have ever had an abiding confidence in the people. I have never doubted that upon a moral or a patriotic issue the great mass of our people always are right when they understand. Upon important question the only prob lem is to see that the facts are pre sented and the issue made plain. Speaking generally, the monopolizers of publicity have been for the league of nations. The vocal and vociferous. those who most court the limelight and seek approval by vehement ex pressions of an obvious generosity, have been advocates. "I'ntil the last few months the or dinary citixen has accepted without question and without knowledge of the document Itself the oft-repeated assertions of thoje who publicly em braced the league before its contents were known. When the sinister pur poses of the instrument were disclosed it became necessary, whatever labor and effort were required, to bring home to the people the facts. "This has measurably been done. Everywhere there has been the same response. The west has differed sot at all from the east. Just common folks the backbone of America the men and women of the great inarticu late mass who compose our citizenship and make our country great. Kith knowledge of the perils and the dan gers of the present league, have In no uncertain tones repudiated It. "After all. the people are American. njt selfishly so. but truly American, v. tuning to live their lives and work out their destiny as Americans under American command and American control. "They will ever perform their duty to humanity and civilization, but they will do this In their own time and as they shall decree, not under the direc tion or control of foreign nations. "The Pacific coast tour has been more than successful. It has been in no sense personal or partisan. It has been a triumph for Ameucanism." SK ITOR Ri't ilv I roysierers made the night ring wun 1 their hochs, hurrahs and catcalls. aiore tnan a hundred joints were closed. Including the notorious Red Mill, Flamingo bar and Cockatoo. Americans arriving find the great est hotel shortage ever known. Rooms are unobtainable for love or money unless reserved long In advance. Even the Turkish laths are overflowing Many travelers have been forced to sleep In railway stations. The Adelon and other big hotels are packed to the roof, most of the bath rooms are oc cupied, and the waiting list is two weeks lone- The smaller hotels are no better. This Is merely a phase of the lack of housing In Greater Berlin, which has been aggravated by the mass rush of refugees from the east. It is es timated that 600 refugee families flock to Berlin every week. The outlook is dark for bright col lege youtfts in Germany, for with all the professions already overcrowded, more than 120.000 students of whom 10 per cent are women are attending Germany's 23 universities and 11 In stitutes of technology, twice as many students as the customary attendance before the war. The biggest proportionate student crush is in the dentistry schools, with the medical colleges acting second. "Don't study for a profession." is the best advice to prospective students. Rather become a garbage collector for Berlin's organized garbage cart driv ers are earning $16 a day, which is more than many high government of ficials got. Don't aspire to school teaching ei ther, for in Prussia alone, more than 13.000 doctors of philosophy in the examined candidates' lists are waiting for appointments. Flying Is another already over crowded "profession" in Germany. There are more than 10,000 jobless aviators. It will be of no use for new ones to learn until the gas supply increases.

Emergency Measures Taken by Ad- ministration ifandle 11,000, 000 Tons of Coal Weekly. A greater volume of business is now being handled' by the railroads of this country than ever before dur ing normal times, according to a statement issued yesterday at Chi cago by Walker D. Mines,' director general of the railroad administra tion. The statement of the director- general was contained In a telegram received yesterday by J. P. O'Brien, federal manager of railroads in the Portland district. ' The report likewise states that the shortage of cars is not so serious as heretofore, while especial care is be ing taken to handle wheat and coal shipments. Despite the heavy busi ness of the carriers, their capacity should be greatly enlarged, Mr. Hines says, but any extensive pro gramme along this line could not be undertaken by the railroad adminis tration at this time, because the ad ministration has not been provided with sufficient funds. The statement received by Mr. O'Brien follows: "The railroads of the country are now doing a heavier business for the present season of the year than was ever done in the history of the rail roads of normal years, and practically as heavy business as was done at this season, 1918. which exceeded all pre vious records. They have more cars In actual service, after exel ding cars held out of service for repairs In 191 and 1918. Car Situation Improving. "While the bad-order car situation was greatly embarrassed by the ex tensive strikes among shop men Ln August, the percentage of order cars is now rapidly improving. There was an increase of 52.456 cars in service able condition between August 16 and October 4; 12,11 j of this" increase were added in the one week ending Octo ber 4. "Though the freight business is prac tlrally as heavy as this time last year, the railroad administration in per forming that business is unavoidably deprived of many exceedingly import ant aids which it was able to utilize last year. One of these is the zoning of coal, which last year compelled consumers to take their coal from nearby mines and thereby greatly in creased the efficiency of coal trans portation. This advantage has neces sarily been lost, because coal zoning was terminated last winter. Another is that last year there was much heavier loading of many important commodities than it has been possible to secure this year, and the result is that under existing conditions more cars have been, used for the same amount of traffic than were used last jear. There are various other Im portant respects in which traffic was controlled in the Interest of the war last year, so as to get the maximum results out of rail transportation, and with the return of peace conditions and the resulting insistence of pub lic sentiment upon release from war time rest rict ions thAHA nrivantap.i hflVA hoon loot ' 'The fact that there Is still a short age in rail transportation is due to conditions that the amount of husi ness offering is far in excess of the transportation facilities of the coun ry. This has always been true is his country, in times of heavy liusi ness In the autumn months, except last year, when the matter could be and was controlled with- an iron hand, with a view solely to war necessity. At the same time, rail road facilities have nor expanded to he extent required in the public in terest. Even prior to the war, rail road facilities were not equal to the ernands. During the war, the addi- ion of new facilities was greatly restricted by scarcity of material and labor. Since the war, it has been im possible to enter upon or carry out ny extensive programme for en largement of capacity, because of the ncertalnty as to the values of the railroads. The railroad administra tion was not provided with the money nd therefore could not originate or carry out any such programme. The railroad companies, in view of the ncertainty, were unwilling to pro- ide money. The result is the rail road facilities of the country are de cidedly below what the traffic de mands. Nevertheless the maximum raffic is being handled, and this is being done with less shortage of transportation than manifested itself at time of the pre-war period. Coal Transport Assured. Particular attention is being paid by the railroad administration to the urnishing of necessary equipment for the transportation of coal and of rain. It was decided early in Sep tember that, in order to meet the coal requirements of the country, it would be necessary for the railroads to move a minimum of 11,000,000 tons of bitu minous coal a week. For the week, ending September 13 11,044,000 tons were transported. For the week end ing September 20 11,248,000 tons were transported, and for the week ending September 27 the railroad adminis tration estimates that approximately 11.575.000 tons were transported. "Conditions have developed which have made it necessary to handle the wheat situation in an emergency way This situation has been complicated by the fact that many of the elevators are full, and it has been impracticable to move additional wheat to points where the elevators are full because to do so would cause large numbers of railroad cars to be filled with grain which could not be disposed of at des tination, and this would result in practically taking such cars out of the transportation service ana using them for storage, and depriving the public generally of cars which are badly needed 'for business of every sort. The railroad administration is following this matter very vigorously In consultation with the grain cor poration, and the director-general will consider the matter personally at a meeting of interested railroad officers, representatives of the grain corporation and others, to be held at Chicago this week. "As to the situation in Texas, where the wheat conditions are particularly acute because the crop is approxi mately 25.000.000 bushels larger than last year and where there is a scarcity of local storage facilities, arrange ments are being made through the grain corporation for the sending of additional cargo vessels to uaiveston and arrangements have already been made for increasing the number of permits for carloads of wheat into Galveston from 50 to 100 per day. Par ticular efforts are being made to move wheat which is on the ground and is thus exposed to the wea'ther." ive the ihjb world one over After he No man TBe"e m nviinajuaiu sY CCA V ...-' - " t ' - -f-v- a,?i-',-v'?( - . ar2T ' T ,T7JI'1IJ'IWW llJI'i j IISTEN, fellows, to some straight talk.

Hospitals Should Taft Care of Per sons With Regard to Ills, Not Purse, Says Miss Eldredge. Oreg-on's most vital medical need is a hospital exclusively for children. Hospitals must not be run for mer cenary motives, for they cannot hope to make money. Nursing, a profession that was for merly overcrowded because consid ered about the only profession for women, is now least crowoea; oui one position in seven in public health nursing can now be filled. These are comments made by Miss Adda Eldredge, inter-secretary of the American Nurses' association, who has Just concluded a week's speaking tour in Oregon, during wnicn sne made 28 addresses, several or them before Portland high school and wom en's organizations. Except for men tion of the children s hospital, her , observations were 01 a seneidi naiuit and in no way directed at institu tions in this state as distinguished from hospitals in general. -Her talks emphasized the fact that the nurse is. the keystone of the great nealtn cam paigns now being undertaken by the government and the Red Cross, and she urged the profession for their consideration. Miss Eldredge says, in part "When hospitals begin to take care of persons with regard to their sick ness. and not with regard to their pocketbooks, a new era will begin. 'The hospital must come to the eight-hour day. There should be paid ward helpers to do the work that student nurses often have to do and that is in no sense a part of their education. 'Pn the other hand, the students should not expect pay. A doctor Is not paid for his studies." Miss Eldredge departed last night for Seattle to continue her mission in Washington. who will address the teachers during the three days are Mrs. Josephine Preston, state superintendent and president of the National Education, association; Frederick Bolton, Uni versity of Washington; Frank Krae ger. Washington State college; A. N. Wright, state leader of boys' and girls' clubs; E. J. Klemme, Beliingham Normal school, and Ralph Swetman, Ellensburg Normal school.
