That Oregon will make a bid for the Pacific coast conference to be held at Eugene was definitely announced by Bill Hay- ward, varsity track coach at the uni versity.

This year, however, Oregon will have new track, and will try to obtain the meet. Conference officials will not meet in December, but agitation already has been begun at the college to- se cure the meet. A cinder track is being constructed around Oregon's new football field and it is expected that it will be one of the best tracks on the coast. Xo Special Services Are Held in Schools Elaborate Banquet Given by Knights. The memory of Columbus was revered yesterday in th6 Portland schools by a series of informal programmes and throughout the city by the closing of banks, the city hall and ijther offices and by an elaborate programme by the Knights of Columbus at a ban quet at the Multnomah hotel last night. No special services were held in the schools, as it Is felt by D. A. Grout, city school superintendent, that too many holidays are unneces sary, but all teachers used, some of the time in telling their pupils of the significance of the day. Over 300 persons attended the ban quet given by the Portland council of the Knights of Columbus at which Captain Arthur A. Murphy acted as toastmaster. "Fighting Judge" Sulli van of Seattle, who is also the na tional vice-commander of the Amer ican Legion, delivered the principal address. The Knights of Columbus service club celebrated the day with services last evening. United States Attorney Humphreys delivered an address on the discovery of America.

Reason for Withdrawal of Heads From Instructors' Association Again Reviewed. Salary and tenure recommendations were presented to . the school board last night by principals and teachers at an open meeting, which took the form at times of a discussion between the principals and teachers' associ ations of previous actions of both bodies. Chairman Orton character ized these discussions as "having no bearing on the subject at band." The board of dfrectors' room in the courthouse was crowded with school employes. In spite of the differences of opinion, good will between the two organizations was evident and all verbal thrusts were received in good spirit and laughter. We differ, but we differ In the best of spirit," said Mrs. Jennie Rich ardson, president of the Grade Teach ers' association, toward the close of the meeting. No definite recommendations were agreed upon, so Chairman Orton sug gested that the two associations try to get together and present a com mon salary recommendation. Differences Are Cited. "It seems to me that if you would hire a hall somewhere and talk this matter over that you could come to us with some common plan," he said. There are some differences of opin ion and details which should be taken up between your organizations. 'I -hope that any little misunder standings here will not be carried into the schools. You should not de vote any of your time except before and after school to the discussion of these questions." Many "ghosts" of previous dis- agreeinents between the principals and teachers arose during the discus sions. The reason for the withdrawal of the principals from the federated council was one of them. Represent atives of the teachers declared that he principals had withdrawn on ac count of differences over the salary question, and the principals counter asserted that they desired the privi lege of expressing the ideas of their association to the board without hav ing those Ideas discussed first by the federated council. Tenure Question Discussed. The tenure question, the first for discussion, was Introduced by Mrs. Richardson, who saidj that, although she could not speak for her associa- ion, she did not feel that the teach ers should go before the legislature and ask for another change In the tenure law. The principals, in their turn, pre sented formally to the board the res olution adopted by their association favoring a modification of the present law so that teachers, supervisors and principals could be dropped by the unanimous verdict of the full board upon proper presentation by the su perinlendent. This resolution would dissolve the present commission of three which acts as a court of pp peals and passes on all cases against teachers. "We present this resolution be cause we desire to do something without delay," said A. M. Sherwood president of the association, in pre senting the resolution. "The talk about inefficient teachers has be come obnoxious to us. We do not want to hide behind the tenure." Protection Is Favored. I am strongly in favor of any pro tection necessary for the teachers declared Mr. Orton, "but I honestly believe that the present tenure gives too much protection. It seems to lead to a sort of arrogance at times on the part of some teachers. Some teachers are led to believe that they are xixtures." "I think -it is the business of the board, teachers and principals to im prove the tenure if possible," said Frank L. Shuil. a director. "We have gone to the extreme in Oregon on the question of the tenure as compared with other states.' When Mrs. Richardson again asked li tne ooard considered that it was necessary for the teachers to take the matter before the legislature. A. C. Newill, diector, replied, that he thought the reasonable way for the teachers, "who have been so ere eminently successful In political af fairs to take the matter to Salem.' Salary CompnrlHons Made. The principals presented the sal ary schedule, which they favor, at the meeting last night with many comparisons of schedules in other ties. Their schedule favors a dif ferential of almost 2 to 1 between the salaries of principals and grade teachers. One of the main reasons given by the principals for submitting their recommendation was that "it can be met by the board financially." Tshow me how you can do that." said George B. Thomas, director. That Is the thing that the board is really interested in." Mr. Sherwood explained that the principals meant that the differential which they desire would mean about $20,000. which "would be lost in the budget." Salary schedules of cities all r the United States have been compiled oy a committee or which W. V. Green of Washington high school is the chairman, and Mr. Green explained at length last night that although some of the cities might seem "hand picaea tnat in reality they did not the least. 13 ARRESTED IN RAIDS Illicit Liquors Worth $20,000 Are Seized at San Francisco.

They, also, who go down to the sea in ships, have long memories. Let us keep them company and take a " sight " flirough the periscope of Time. Darkness ! The kind of darkness that yoa feel. In the midst of the Sty gian gloom, a little ship, one of Uncle Sam's destroyers. On guard ! Some where off the coast of France. " Some where " is a good word for a night like this. " Add to the black murk a cutting wind with an icy edge to it, a blare of angry waters, and you get a mixture you wouldn't like to prescribe for any man's comfort. But war is only an other name for duty. That's why this little destroyer is smashing ' into the thick of it, And doing a good job, too. And somewhere aboard that throb bing, panting, leaping ship is a clock. "The ship's chronometer," the navi gating officer calls it. But to gob and officer alike it is a symbol of home. For right there across its shining face is a familiar name Waltham - a name that is as much a token of Uncle Sam being on the job night and day as the good ship under them. But that's the other part of our story Time, in navigation, is as important as the sun and the stars. A reliable chronometer can always be seen in the Chart Room, but the sun does not always shine in the heavens. Small wonder, then, that the chief officer of a ship is so finicky over this timepiece. He guards it, he watches- it, he prizes it, above all his possessions. It reckons for him the sea-miles when he has no other reckoning. It is the one friend he can depend upon when the elements league their cyclonic powers of wind and fcg and storm against him. NOW the history of the chrono meter is more or less a fanciful record of European supremacy.' This tradition of the sea had it that the only reliable chronometer was one made either in England or on the continent. But many a tradition has been scrapped by necessity, and this is one of them. And any sailor-man will tell you that tradition in the Navy is as hard to overcome as a United States battleship stripped for action. But wait When war was . declared there were not enough foreign chronometers to go around. Here was the American crafts man's chance, for which he had been waiting a long, long time. The Navy Department, in the vernacular, was up against it. " Chronometers ! Oh, for some chronometers!" was the cry. So the Waltham Watch Com pany was called upon. "Car you supply the Navy with chronometers?'.' 'Certainly! How many?" The order was given and with Yankee dispatch promptly filled. Indeed, Waltham eventually supplied more chronometers during the war than all other makes combined. Then it was that the Waltham Chronometer went; to sea and shattered forever the cherished tradition of foreign chronometer supremacy by standing up under conditions of war that .often put the alien chronometer out of business. And they stood up so consistently that prejudiced old salts in verbal and written praise saluted the performances of this American Keeper of Time upon the Sea. ' FOR instance imagine an instru ment keeping the closest time in a subchaser, head on in a stormy sea. Every unit of the little ship shaking like a leaf. Straining, twisting, being buffeted, beaten. Now, hurled to the crest of a giant wave ; anon, plunging like a stricken bird into a yawning pit of' swirling water; sometimes lifted bodily, then crashed down like a toy thrown from the hand of a giant and every moment that delicately adjusted but sturdy Waltham Chronometer tick ing the fleeting seconds, unconcerned except with the business of keeping time correct time, for the gallant lads who put their trust in this Watch Over Time while they keep their watch above or below deck. This was the acid test. 1 But when we stop to think of it, Waltham had been preparing for over seventy years for our country's emergency because of Waltham invention in watch making, because of advancement unto advance ment in the art of developing time keeping mechanisms, and those miracle working machines that cannot be found or duplicated elsewhere in all the world, giving America precedence in this im portant industry. This, we believe, was true preparedness; this was Waltham's pride and honor, in vindicating the inew and ability of American Industry in war's fiery challenge, as no less the Waltham Watch has sustained Amer ican supremacy at the grea.t Expositions in times of peace. WE should be remiss if we forgot the mighty dead those sons of genius who labored long years in Wal tham laboratories for the glory of America, Charles Van de Woerd, Duane II. Church, Charles Whitney, John Logan and others. "They rest from their labors, but their works do follow them." And no less those master American mechanics, Marsh and Ohlson (the inventor of the Waltham Time Fuse), who are still adding lustre to the fame of the American Waltham Watch all over the world As Americans we should have long memories. It is inspiring to review the past. We have much to elate us, to help us "carry on," to produce more and still more, to supply the world with the work of our brains and hands. For in labor, well and cheer fully done, is our health, wealth and happiness. THE WORLD'S WATCH OVER TLWE Thtr b a itiutifut Bottlct for jm telling how the Waltham Watch it made.

IS"o. 1 Aitributes the return of his former good health to BARK ROOT TONIC He "writes: Having been kicked by one of my young: colts two years agro, I was com pelled to take to my bed for a considerable lenjrth of time, and, being accus tomed to being: in the open most of the time, this confinement worked hard- 4 ship on me untold. I became constipated, and soon indigestion set in. After six long months I was allowed to get up and be about, and by that time my system was in a very bad condition indeed, constipation and indigestion becoming worse, causing nervous headaches and sleepless nights. After trying out a score of various remedies in hopes that I might find one that would relieve me, and had just about decided that nothing could help me, a friend advised me to give BARK ROOT TONIC a trial. I finally purchased a bottle of BARK ROOT TONIC and will say that, even after using but one bottle, I noticed a great improvement. This was a year ago, and am glad to say that after taking BARK ROOT TONIC for six months I was an absolutely cured man. BARK ROOT TONIC has done away with my chronic constipation and indigeFtion, has made my sleepless nights into nights of rest and peaceful slumber, and given me a wonderful appetite which I had lost altogether. Therefore I cannot recommend BARK ROOT TONIC too highly.
