Campaign.
PENNY HOARDS WILL COUNT
Secretary McAdoo Addresses . Spe
cial Message to Youngsters of
Nation Now In World's
Greatest War.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. A great
drive to make every school child in
America buy at least one 25-cerrt thrift
stamp during- the first week of the war
savings campaign which opens next
Monday was announced today by the
National war savings committee. Sav
ings stamps and certificates by which
It is planned to raise $2,000,000,000
within the next year will go on sale
at every postoffice Monday morning
and at banks, schools, stores and other
Institutions later in the week.
Secretary McAdoo's message to young
America said:
"Nations have their childhood and
their days of hard lessons. Just as chil
dren do. One hundred and forty years
ago, when the first American Army
marched to battle, our Nation was
younger among nations than you are
among your fathers, your mothers and
their friends. Our army had drummer
boys in those days, real boys of. 10 and
12, who marched as bravely and as
proudly into cannon fire as their great
chief. General Washington, himself.
Our Nation had little girls who laughed
and cheered and loaded muskets for
their fathers, who fired through loop
holes in their cabin homes, when the
painted Indians charged to the very
doors.
America Mast Win War.
"Where many school houses stand to
day American boys and girls may have
helped to fight and defeat the enemy,
when our Nation, too, was young.
"We are in the greatest war of the
world's history and we must win this
war. We can and we shall win. If the
boys and girls of America say so, and
mean it, and feel It, and live it, as the
boys and girls of '76 lived, and felt,
and helped.
"The Nation needs that sort of boys
and girls today. Not to beat our drums,
nor to load our muskets, but to start a
great work which must be done. It is
the part of boys and girls today to give
an example of self-denial and sacrifice,
to teach fathers and mothers, to teach
the grown people of the Nation that
we still have In every young heart the
spirit of '76, when boys led our soldiers
Into battle, and girls fought beside
their fathers at ie cabin walls. The
lesson is thrifty saving to the point of
sacrifice self-denial of everything un
necessary. Government Needs Pennies.
"If every boy and girl says at home
tonight 'I will fight In this war; I will
save every penny and loan It to my
Government to help save the lives of
the big brothers of America; I will
try to teach every American I see to
do the same' then 20,000,000 homes, of
all America, will be filled with the
spirit of '76, the spirit of the drummer
boys; of the brave girls of those days.
"America will win the war again, as
It has always won, through the splen
ttd strength, courage and sacrifice in
the hearts of youth, that today will
teach the Nation the lessons of sav
ing and serving which it must and will
learn, through the message which Its
school children will carry home.
"Through saving your pennies, nick
els, dimes and quarters and buying
thrift stamps and then war savings
certificates, you will help your country
and its gallant armies to win the war.
"I know you will help."

SCHOOLS SCORED
Superintendent Churchill Says
Country Institutions Dirty.
EXAMPLES DISCOUNT BOOKS
Directory, Just Issued, Contains
Much Detail in 150 Pages Sec
tion Relating to Rural
Schools New rcature.
SALEM, Or.. Dec. 1. (Special.)
"For a good many years the average
country school in America has been
attempting to teach children the rules
of hygiene and sanitation through les
sons from textbooks, and too fre
quently it has, at the same time, been
setting a very bad example .through
violating these rules itself," says Su
perintendent Churchill in his new
school directory, Just issued. "It has
taught the value of .cleanliness and
has required the children to work in
an unclean schoolhouse whose floor,
walls and furniture were covered with
dirt and dust. It has taught the value
of fresh air and has kept the children
confined in foul air that has been
breathed over and over again until it
reeked with poisonous gases. It has
emphasized the care of the eyes and
has compelled the children to work in
cross lights and sometimes to sit facing
the windows. It has. taught the duty
of personal cleanliness and righteous
ness and has allowed innocent children
to visit filthy toilets, whose walls
were covered with obscenity. It has
taught these valuable lessons from
textbooks, but much of the good has
been discounted, if not wholly de
stroyed, through the more impressive
lessons of bad example."
Clackamis Is Commended.
In summing up the benefits of stand
ardizing the rural schools Mr. Churchill
says:
"In re-porting the results of stand
ardizing country schools, the County
Superintendent of Clackamas County
states that they have induced '49 dis
tricts to meet the 13 requirements for
standard schools, and many more have
met nearly, all the requirements, while
all the rest have met some of them.'
The Superintendent of Clatsop County
reports that "school officers, teachers,
parents and pupils are working to
gether with a. will to bring their
schools up to the requirements in the
way of sanitation, neatness, beautiful
grounds, pleasant schoolroom condi
tions, attendance, etc' Many other re
ports are equally as encouraging.",
AH Schools Tested.
The new school directory contain
150 pages and lists all of the schools
in the state which employ more than
one teacher. It contains the names
and addresses of district clerks, super
intendents and high school teachers,
together with the salaries of all teach
ers and the special tax levies made by
each district. It gives lists of ap
paratus and library books for high
schools and the rules which these
schools must meet in order to become
standard. The names of the high
schools that have met the require
ments of the State Board of Education
and have .been standardized are also
given.
A new feature of the directory is the
section relating to rural schools. This
contains an article entitled, "Health
Rules for School Construction." by D.
W. DeBusk, of the department of edu
cation of the University of Oregon, and
a chapter on "Standard Rural and Vil
lage Schools." . . . t

A.nJ hmrm im thm molatlan of thm problem of incrmmmad apomd in

Today it is an acknowledged fact that motor trucks equipped with
our Cord Pneumatic Truck Tires can be operated at a greatly
increased speed with absolute safety and economy.
Increased speed means increased deliveries for long and short

About sixty per cent, of commercial cars today use pneumatic
tires of woven fabric construction and United States Woven Fab

records on the other forty per cent, of commercial cars.

resiliency.
While the United States 'Nobby Cord Pneumatic Truck Tire is
new on the market. It has been tested for many years, and has been
' tried and proved under conditions far severer than those in practi
cal use with startlingly satisfying results.
Recently an Army transport expert put a set of these tires (36 x 7)
on a ton and a half motor truck, with an overload of a ton and a
quarter, making two and three-quarters tons in all.
He drove this truck under army conditions 4,228 miles over the
most difficult part of the American continent where there were
roads, and where there were no roads.
With thim result ho aoeraged seoen mite pmr zatton W gas
