Ted Roy, O. A. C. student from Pilot Rock. Oregon, has been
awarded second prixe in the nation-wide contest for youthful singers
sponsored by the Atwater Kent company. He will receire 12000
in cash and a year's tuition In a great American conserratory.
The final audition which resulted In ; young Roy's success was
on Sunday. Only the day before, a distinguished company gathered
at McMinnrine to acclaim the young farmer champion, Alex Cruick
shank, first In farm club work in the entire United States. t;i;
Thus twice within two days, Oregon is honored in the achieTements
of its children. Both boys are students lof Oregon Agricultural
college. Both are hard working, self-reliant young fellows, admir
able examples of the fine .wholesome young manhood that goes
quietly about Its business, too often tfnnotlced. while the noisy mis
chief and serious indiscretions of a comparatiyely few undisciplined
young people monopolise public attention and aire rise to muutaen
alarm.' -
While there are a few Jass mad youngsters wasting their most
nrecious Tears, a few youthful desperadoes hastening to the pent-
tntlary, there are thousands of steady, conscientious boys and girls,
achlerinr a solid success by the daily performance of the days tas.
Such is Ted Roy, who earns the greater honor, since we nnder-
stand that he is making his own way, through school, working In
tha summer to nay his college expenses. He is affectionately called
by the students the "Singing Blacksmith! and we are glad to know
that his skill at the forge giyes-him not less, but more prestige
amonr ni fellows- - - -;- - "-- ::
- W are Immensely nroud of Ted and Alex both. We need not
wish for them continued success, since iney bars proved that they
hold that in their own hands: but we can assure them of our un-
faillnr Interest and delight In the further rewards that may come
to them. ' - "
It is understood that the drive for funds to put the Oregon
Linen Mills, Inc., oh its feet and make it a going concern,
is all but finished. It should be hurried ; fully completed
and the news given to the public It will be a great piece of
news for Salem. , "

Lindbergh Gives Account
Of
International
Flight
MEXICO CTTT, Dec. 15 (APJ
At the American embassy last
night under the watchful eye of
the ambassador. . Colonel Lind
bergh laughed as he told of bis
adventure ne'aring . Mexico ' City.
The delay in his arrival had wor
ried everybody but Lindbergh.
"I wasn't worried at all about
being lost," he said. "I knew it
was merely a question of; floating
around until I found some land
mark or other. ,
"X missed my route from Tam-
pico because of the heavy fog oy
er the coast and in the mountains."
Lindbergh chuckled. "These
railroad stations." he said, "hav
en't any name; at least I couldnt
see any. I flew around and final
ly saw the name Toluca," on a
railroad station, then I knew I was
close to Mexico City."
W. C. HAWLEY EXPLAINS REDUCTIONS
In about the same way he aid it several weeks ago 111
his addresses to the Salem Rotary, club' and Chamber of
Commerce, Congressman Hawley in the lower house of xon-
Hh - explained the provisions of the bill pro
posing the reduction Ot-f ederal taxes. The largest item is
the one granting reductions to "corporations on their pay
ments on net revenues; the reductions amounting to $176,-
600,000 annually. There is proposed an $8,000,000 annual
reduction jjn .theater and other admission tickets; raising
:"the-exemption limit to'Sl. admissions. There are some other
"nuisance tax" reductions proposed ! ;
But the second greatest slash ; Is on " automobile taxes
which are supposed to be cut in two-the present rate being
3 percent . ' ".. T ' - ;'
And this will make a total reduction of $33,000,000 an-
nually. ; ' . - ': : - ;;;; . : . . ' " - '1 ; : i- - T
Mr. Hawley thinks this is justified; also that the retention
of half the federal automobile tax is justified,; largely be
cause the federal appropriations for good roads now amount
to $75,000,000 annually. Were the federal automobile tax
all taken off, as some interests demand, there might be a
movement to lower or abolish the federal aid to good roads
And the buyers of cars, will not be hit very hard by the
'retention of the federal automobile tax of one and a half per
cent. The buyers will be affected according tor the following
estimates: i
Ford sedan, $6.14; Dodge sedan, $9.84; Hudson sedan,
$15.58; Buick brougham, $21.66 ; Hupmobile sedan, $24.70 ;
r Pierce Arrow runabout, $28.07; Franklin limousine, $33.08 ;
Marmon sedan, $40.95 ; Cadillac sedan; $46.06 ; Lincoln sedan,
' $54; Locomobile touring, $67.50; Locomobile sedan, $82.12;
Pierce Arrow landau, $90.
Lindbergh received a tremen
dous ovation from the huge crowd
surrounding the embassy. One of
the first things he did was to talk
by long distance telephone with
his mother in Detroit. But. he had
trouble in hearing as his ears were
in bad condition because of ; his
flight and the altitude.
Continuing his talk with the
newspaper correspondents, Lind
bergh said:
. "I did not realize I had been in
the. state of Michoacan until aft
er I landed. I had expected the
trip to last 26 hours; I figured I
had lost 2 hours but thought that
previous to that I had been run
ning ahead of schedule and so
was still on time. ' But develop
ments proved that X was mistak

This opportunity ought to be

business for every line. The devel

George Remus was found guilty
of contempt of "court Wednesday
after he again had interrupted his!
month old murder trial with a
harsh verbal attack upon his three
young prosecutors, and precipitat
ed one of the wildest scenes of the
trial
Judge Chester R. Shook sharp-
ly upbraided Remus for conduct
which had produced "almost un-J
paralleled conditions and an-l
nounced that sentence would be
deferred until after completion of
the murder trial.
' Remus acting as his own chief
of counsel, "Interrupted the testl-J
mony of an adopted daughter J
Ruth Holmes Remus, born of the)
first marriage of the wife he slew,
and demanded that the Jury be
sent from the : courtroom so that
he might argue a legal point.
He started with an explanation!
of his plea of transitory maniacal;
Insanity, swept into a legal and
medical definition of the terms of
his plea and ' then became em

f "The court is not going to per
mit you to continue with attacks
upon the prosecutors."-
; '"Then I apologize to the court
openly," replied Remus, stressing
the last word heavily. ' . ' "

prosecutor's office also," cut in

"You must conduct, yourself aa

the judge. ! .

ere nee to the grand jury indict
ment of defense witnesses for per

"Sit down! x won t hear any
more," the judge directed.
"An anomalous situation has
been- brought ; about," asserted
Judge 'Shook. "The defendant
from ! the start has attacked . the
prosecutor's office. . - V
"The. court feels the prosecut
ors are within their rights in pro
testing against the unjustifiable
attack of Mr.. Remus who was be
ing - respectfully heard by the
court. - "
-"The defendant is on trial foi

has realized it and has tried to be
patient under these almost unpar
alleled eondiUons." ' ' . '
: He 1 praised Charles H. . Elston,
co-counsel with Remus, for exem
plary ' - conduct, and then pro
nounced his finding: of contempt
ing they wear, the habits of clean
liness they practice, and so forth,
all help to determine ' their: per
sonal health. ';v:c;:;;;''!;".--
"We have recognized for along
time the importance of preparing
children mentally for the duties of
life, but It is only recently that
we have thought of the Impor
tance of -preparing them physical
ly. Parents want tnem to nave a
long, happy, successful life, but all
too frequently they forget their
physical health as well as tEelr
mental life Is one of the impor
tant factors that' will help deter
mine this. Instruction in health in
the schools should be just as im
portant as instruction in the "so-
called "Three R's" and It should
not be considered any more of a
fad.
"The schools - in Salem and
Marion county have recognized
this and are teaching health ef
fectively. From what I have seen
of it-so far, I doubt if there is any
comunlty in the- United States that
does it better. As proof of this
statement, there - is now ' in the
city, . this very week, a group of
people sent by the American Child
Health association of New York'
to study, the methods in Salem
schools. They have chosen T3 cities
in the United States for this study
where adequate ; Instruction in
health is given. Salem - has been
chosen as one of this group. Only
seven other cities were chosen ou
the West Coast.
"X am going to enjoy being as
sociated with this work in Salem
and Marion county, X hope that we
may be able to work out an effec
tive plan of organisation that the
community will continue for all
time.! rA.iX--,-

"That achievement alone is
