WINS HIGH HONORS
SAN AXTOXIO, Texas,

tests here today the Drum
Corps of Capital Post No. O,
American Legion, of Salem,
Ore., covered ' itself with
glory and was placed among
the first f if teem.
Tomorrow the Oregonians
will enter the arena In com
petition with 14 other drum
corps representing the finest
-in the entire American Le
gion, buoyed' by high hopes
of capturing further honors.
The showing made by The
boys from Salem today was
one of which Oregon's capi
tal " Justly may feel proud.
Their performance was ac.
claimed by thousands of
delegates to the national
convention as well as other
, thousands of interested
spectators.
SAN ANTONIO. Texas, Oct. 10
(API Peace with prepared
ness was the theme of address by
three distinguished speakers on
the American legion convention
program here today.
Prolonged applause greeted Ma
jor Georges Scap:ni of France,
Secretary of War Dwight F. Davis
and Willian R. Green, president
of the American Federation of
Labor, as they advocated universal
permanent peace and adequate na
tional defense.
Davis brought the convention
assurances that the administration
contemplated no weakening of the
defenses of the nation .because pf ,
the Kellogg Multilateral Treaties.
Scapini in a ringing address de
clared that It is a duty to prej
serve a conception of the horrors
of war for future generations and
to maintain defenses and Green
pledged the support of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor to the
legion's campaign for national de-
rnflux of Many
Aliens Is Resented
He also pledged his organiza
tlon to help the legion in all; of
its major objectives, inclnding
immigration restriction, child
welfare rehabilitation and the
drive to "create a citizenship that
will appreciate the American form
m sssvwAr w Aw "
"We must keep immigration
slowed down to the point where
we can absorb and Americanize
the Incoming peoples." he de
clared. "I am opposed' and the
organisation which I represent is
opposed to any modification of
the present quota restrictions. 1
estimate that if we should modifv
the ouota law, as has been sug
gested by some people, the annual
innux instead of being 150.000
aliens, would be swelled to 500
000.

fiTTLES and fashions in fem-
inlne apparel are matter
with which mere man has
- little concern; Of recent years,
however, more- and more wom
en touring, the country by au
tomobile have appeared In what
generally are termed- "hiking
clothes," including knickers and
army shirts. The reaction of the
publie has been what the old
time novelist was accustomed to
call "mingled emotions." In br
der to find . out what Salem
thinks of the subject the New
Oregon Statesman askeLa num
ber of persons to state . their
views. Here is the result:
E. P. APPLEGATE.of Muncle.
Ind., a tourist, said: "I get a
great wallop out of them, par
ticularly the fat ones. Fir some
strange reason the women who
most , closely resemble barrels
are toe ones who take to knick
ers, with 'the result that their
exaggerated lines are accentuat
ed. Rarely do I see aa attrac
tive, well-formed woman wear
ing those trick clothes Can any
thing 'be funnier than a 175
pound woman with no waistline,
clad in army shirt and khaki
knickers, plus silk stockings and .
high-heeled slippers? Sure, let
'em wear 'em. But they're a
laugh, just-the same."
MARGARET WARNKE. sopho
more at- Willamette university,
said: "For tourists passing
through town who stop for only
a few minutes knickers are all
right. They look decidedly out ef
place, however, at any time on
city streets."
BETTY LEWIS, second year
student at W. U., said: "Knick
ers are certainly more conven
ient than . skirts when one ts
driving all day and camping or
picnicking. Skirts look much
more proper if one is going to
the hotel instead of to the
camp."
JULIA CREECH, editor of the
Salem high school Clarion said:
Hiking knickers are all right In
their place, but their place is nc.
on the street.- Woma-look very
Conspicuous in them, especially
when the knickers are worn;
with high heeled shoes and silk
6tockings."
LOIS WILKES, associate edit
or of the Clarion, said: "I agree
with Julia. It's just as easy to
wear a skirt and blouse as it ts
knickers and blouse, and the for
mer is more comfortable and
looks more appropriate."
ELLEN B. TILLSON, of the
office of Brigadier-General
George A. White of, the Oregon
national guard, said: - "Well,
that Is largely a matter of per
sonal taste. My opinion Is that
unless women are actually en
gaged in doing something that
demands they wear tknickers,
they should not. On' a long
hike and. not Just a little walk
of a mile or eo-I should say
they were a reasonable garb."
DR. F. G. FRANKLIN, libra
rian" at Willamette university
and prominent Mazama, said:
"It Is pretty late in the day for
anyone to be shocked at seeing
women in trousers. When I first
Joined the Sierra club in Cali
fornia, few, if any, of the wor
men mountain climbers wore
trousers; as long as I have been
a member of the Masamas, I .do
not recall having seen any wo
men on the trips, who didn't
wear them. As to wearing them
for motoring or on the street. I
will leave that strictly up to the
women."
D. H. MOSHER. local tailor,
said: '.'Hiking trousers are very"
practical; women can get around
in them better than they can
wearing either skirts or knick
ers. I see -no reason why they
should not be proper for motor-

NEW YORK, Oct. 10. (AP)
Heading toward the south and
its border states, Governor Smith
started at 11 o'clock tonight on
his second campaign trip in tbe
quest of the presidency.
The democratic presidential
nominee spent a busy day in
shaping up final arrangements for
his trip. He also discussed with
party leaders the national and
state political situations - and
SIT
H DEPARTS N
theTg&ined their advice on various
phases of his projected appeals to
the voters of four states, Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee and
Kentucky which will be invaded
on the trip during the remainder
of this week.
Only one campaign address at
Louisville, Kentucky, on Saturday
night faces the governor under
present plans during the first
three days of his trip. Next week,
however, his program calls tor
two speeches, one at Sedalia, Mo.,
Tuesday, October 16, and the
other at Chicago Friday, October
19. In one of his addresses the
candidate has indicated he will
disscuss his position on the tariff.
But tbe outset of the sally of
Governor Smith into the so-called
"solid south" states of Virginia
and North Carolina holds much
of the interest for political ob
servers, for rarely has a demo
cratie standard bearer made a per
sonal appeal to the voters of the
southland. In those states, how
ever, he will make only rear plat
form appearances to greet .well
wishers at at least five cities to
morrow.
- In Tennessee, considered one of
the political border states, the
candidate will devote more atten
tlon, holding conferences on Fri
day with party chieftains at two
cities.
Chief among the many party
leaders and advisers wo visited
Governor Smith today before his
departure was Franklin D. Boose
velt, the democratic nominee for
governor of New York. Roose

THE SCOUT OATH
On my honor I will do my best:
1. To do my duty to God and
country, and to obey tbe scout
law.
2. To help other people at all
times.
3. To keep myself physically
strong, mentally awake, and mor
ally straight.
"Full speed ahead" Is the order
for today in the Boy Scout budget
campaign, which has been going
slow for two or three days. Fol
lowing a meeting of team- cap
tains at noon Wednesday plans
for renewing the vigor of team ac
tivity in collecting pledges for
4000 were decided upon.
Up to last night $2540 had been
pledged to the budget of Cascade
area scouts to carry on their ac
tivities for another year. This
sum Is considerably below the ex
pectations of council officers and
scout leaders. The delay in amas
sing pledges, however, is explain
ed away by the fact that 'there has
been much else for team workers
today.
S.E. Purvlne, "generalissimo"
for the campaign and Charles Wi
per, L. P. .Campbell, W. W. Moore
and L. A. Payne, acting scout ex
ecutive, met Wednesday to make
plans for today's activities. They
hope to speed up all workers to
day and to carry the campaign to
a $3090 goal by night.
Thereafter the drive will go
forward without delay until the
required $4000 has been pledged.

Although many relics and trophies
