"The conference formulated a
model for a uniform vehicle code
and laid the foundation for Its
ultimate enactment by the several
states. This code is equally fair
to the administrative officials and
the public. When enacted by the

Some candidates are so busy
planning, excuses they overlook
real issues likely story for fail
ure height of ambition end only
six days away any one can win.
In six days what will your ex
cuse be for not winning? Then
the final count begins and one of
the greatest contests for sub
scriptions and valuable prizes wfll
go down in history as the most
squarely fought battle of ballots
ever conducted. Six days more
and the winners will be made and
I he losers will be the busiest
Duncn or people you ever saw
hunting up excuses why they did
not win.
Yet, in Industry there is pleas
ure. The winners will feel that
they are already repaid for the
time they have spent in the inter
ests of the contest. The winners
of the autos will have made a big
salary in the course of the time
the contest has run. The dinners
of the other prizes will receive no
small reward. However, the win
ners of any one of tho prizes Is
.just as much in doubt today, six
days before the end of the oon-
test, as it was 10 weeks ago.
In the winning class a goo. fin

didates would land the auto or
the other prizes for any one of
them as compared . with the post

this is the most surprising and

test it has ever been the pleasure

Skating will undergo the care

Considerable concern has been
voiced throughout the city at the
hit and miss method in which
skating is being carried on In
practically every street in the
city.
Skating seems to be more pop
ular than ever. The usual quota
of grammar school kiddies have
donned the ball-bearing boots.
.The Junior high school and the
senior high school students have
become fond of the pastime, and
Willamette university students
add to the total.
Skating among the grammar
school youngsters and those of
high school age has been a mat
ter to be met yearly. But this
season is the first in several years
in which university students have
adopted the fad.
Some of the college boys and
co-eds have discovered that skates
provide a simple, swift and inex
pensive means of transportation
between chapel and sorority and
fraternity houses. Streets in
front of some of the fraternities
have been turned into temporary
rinks.
Because of the inadvisability of
mixing skate and auto traffic, the

PHILIPPINE QUESTION IS
AGAIN TOPIC OF DEBATES
j " " ' ; 1
MUCH DISCUSSION AitOUSED
FOLLOWING APPOINTMENT
Commission to Investigate Island
Conditions Leads to Specula- ;
V tlons
WASHINGTON, April 3. (By
Associated Press.) What to do
the Philliplnes has become
once more a much discussed ques
tion in Washington.
Revitalized by President Cool
id ge's unexpected appointment of
a special commissioner to investi
gate conditions In the islands, the
old fighting IsBue of the post
Spanish war days provided fuel
today for an hour's debate in the
senate, prompted a proposal for a
congressional inquiry, and led to
all sorts of conjectures among
officials and politicians.
The president's selection yes
terday of Carmi. A. Thompson of
Ohio to make his inquiry in the
islands was variously described in
the day's discussions as a wise
and essential step, a reflection on
Governor Leonard Wood,, an effort
to give support to what General
Wood has done, a move in the in
terest of Ohio rubber concerns to
eplloit the islands and an attempt
to remove Mr. Thompson as a fac
tor in the 1926 Ohio campaign.
The proposal for a congression
al investigation was made by Sen
ator Harrison, democrat, Mississ
ippi who asked in a resolution
that two senators and two repre
sentatives make a non-partisan in
quiry as a basis for future legis
lation. The resolution did not reach a
vote.
While speculation over the
Thompson appointment was run
ning its uneven course. Secretary
Davis of the war department who
as the titular guardian over the
islands was planning a trip there
this summer to survey conditions
held his plans in abeyance while
he waited for further information
from the White House. The ap
pointment yesterday tumbled out
from an empty sky and when ap
parently neither Mr. Davis nor
others in the department who
deal with the islands affairs have
a notion just what sort of inquiry
Mr. Thompson will conduct.
A White House spokesman said
yesterday that a thorough inspec
tion trip to the Philippines might
take the secretary away from his
post for a long period, but M
Davis still may find it adsable
for him fo take the trip unless the
president's personal commission
er expects to include in his inspec
tion all the military, posts in the
Islands.
In the senate debate today Sen
ator Harrison made a point of Mr.
Thompson's announcement, imme
diately after his appointment, that
Ibe journey (would "make it im
possible for him to be a candidate
