J By STtVE MERGLER A' Statesman reporter, visiting on a Saturday evening with a certain faniily not long ago, found father, mother, daughter and son discussing what to do on Sunday. . "Where shall we go?' Finally they decided. "Oh, let's stay home, you have to go so far to get any place and what can you see and do hen you get there?" Wellthoireporter got, a no tion he could get Douglas McKay- to lend! him a Chevrolet and driver, and take Frank B. Jones, district manager for Oregon State Motor association here, as a guide: on a trip of exploration to find something for that family and the many others like it, to do on holidays.! This pleasure Jaunt should be nota"so far: to go" and offer "something to see and do. when you ! get there." t , Last Sunday the reporter, Mr. and, Mrs. j 'Jones, and driver, George . Heseman, assistant ser vice salesman for McKay's, started out at 10:10 o'clock. On stuffy summer days the coast In variably offers breezes and re freshing change of air. The par ty, under guide of Jones, fol lowed the pared road to Dallas, front there turning right on the eut-otr lSH miles to Wallace bridge, to the main highway to the coast. H Westward S from the bridge was a pretty drive, with the roadsides alight with .wild roses, bachelor buttons, purple- vetch and back grounded by the fresh, green oak groves. At the east end of the Salmon river . highway, eight miles? from Wallace bridge, the Chevrolet was pointed in the di rection of the Three-A sign to Otis.- r- -, The first ; few miles of the Salmon road were rough, ne glected because a new grade is being made to eliminate railroad crossings,' and build new bridges, but after the first two miles the Chevrolet no longer swayed on its easy; riding springs and set ted down to; a flying gait over smooth macadam road, wide as Joseph Schafer, superintendent of the Wisconsin state Historical so ciety, a. professor at Eugene for many years and regarded as an outstanding authority on the his tory1 of the northwest. - Several of the promlnant facul ty members : are from Portland. Norman F. Coleman, president of Reed college;, will offer courses in education, as will C. R.

Soon the tall spires of virgin trees loomed and pointed toward the blue. The road became virtually a white auto way winding through a tunnel of " evergreen. This for 14 miles and more. A few rough grades around bridges In construction, but no detours, and the party, found it self at the Junction of the Sal mon river cut-off and the Oregon Coast highway, with the option of turning to right and north to Tillamook, 44 miles, Astoria, 122 miles; or to left and south to Newport, 33 miles. As this trip was to be not "so far to go". Newport was selected as destina tion. k . - t -i ' -f ' The Coast highway Is ; heavily oiled, equivalent to hard surface. and smooth, no dust. The faithful Chevrolet sedan purred along, contentedly, while driver , and passengers enjoyed the passing "things to see". The road crawls behind the sand dunes, the breakers are not seen; but still sensed in the tang of the air. . . Meantime there were the fresh water lakes to take attention. Devil's lake, almost u-shaped, one arm is in view, then all hid-, den, by beach pines, next the other arm. Further on, DeXake, and a golf course on the grass clad hillocks. Inland, the green hills. ' L: . . At the Sllets river bridge the party disembarked1 for a good, comfortable stretch, while a fish ing boat was passing through the draw out toward the sea. Others of the trim, tug-size vessels lj at dock upriver. s The draw closed, the boat chug-chugged toward s the bar. Driver Heseman called . all aboard and the party was away over the black. ribbon across the tideflats and up the rise through the Glen Eden resort. Here were seen groves of potential Christ mas trees, bright- green, with the new twig tips pointing sky ward like candles. But the trees were soon for gotten for the first rhodendron twinkled into view, salmon pink sprays of color, the vestiges of what must have been a truly gorgeous display a few weeks earlier. Almost before realizing, the party came out again in view of the rolling ocean, f muddy with sand in the breaker area, navy blue toward the horizon. Had not this been a hurry trip, a stop would have been made at DePoe bay to explore the care with the tiny .lake Inside, to peer down Into the fissure In the peninsula into which the sea wash swished and splattered. The ' aquarium, with its live collection of weird fish that inhabit the ocean's bed. was left for a look on the next trp. It Is said to be well worth stopping for. . When you make this coast drive, watch for the white and green froth swirling over hidden rocks offshore south from DePoe bay. From the Rocky i Creek bridge dozens of these telltales of hidden "grief" to . ships dot the surface of the swells, j From Rocky creek the road climbs, up and up. And there Is Otter Crest, attractively marked with gilt, swinging signs. From this pointed: bluff, 192 feet above the water, you'll get one of the finest Tiewa ox a rugged coast line available anywhere; r DePoe bay promontory north, i Devil's punchbowl and Yaquina light south; on clear days, ships : at sea. If the day is hot, the brisk, breeze will be most welcome., It i was getting past time, for noon meal; the men in the party were clamoring for food. : New port was the goal for this Impor tant stop, as well as the mileage center of the trip.: On the way these last few miles, had hunger not called so urgently, stops ould have been made to Inves tigate the well-named Devil's punchbowl, and rlalt the famous lighthouse t and marine gardens. ,l. ", j , : ' s Once in Newport, the Joneses, driver and reporter, drove onto the beach, while dinner was being prepared at the home-cooking emporium. Reminlseenses were stirring. Two of the "gang re membered and recounted gay ex cursions made by the entire-student body of Oregon State college (Aggy then) by train to Yaqui na, thence to Newport by ferry, an annual event around 1907-8. ' It amused the i diners, and pleased the Chevrolet man. Im mensely, to watch the resort peo ple turn to stare admiringly at the graceful, lithe-looking body of the shiny new car. . Sine the lata start. had been made, there was no time tor in teresting strolls ever the high' sand dunes, a drive down to the edge of broad Yaquina hay, where" the old-town sector of the cottage city lies, to watch" the fishboats or visit the coast guard station. At 3 'dock it was de cided "tlmw to bs getting horns." "No, it was not necessary to hash. .track over .th a.. same .road. ... Trip Found to Otis, South HOLIDAY TRIP, f The old Newport route, east to the. sawmill city of Toledo, on tidewater, and through the heart of Coast range, makes possible the loop trip. l " Unlike, many of the "returns home" after an outing, this was not a monotonous one. It was up grade and down, with a pow erful car, through more . forests, over the summit, .805 feet above sea level, across stretches of green hills, around Mary's peak and into. th state college city. From Corvallls choice could be made between the east side Pa cific highway,, through Albany, or west, through Monmouth, ' West side was preferred in this case, skirting the. . .Benton and Polk county valley farms, past the ivy-covered halls and rose hedges of Oregon Normal school, to Rickreall, and to Salem again. Only the last 10 miles traversed were over the same stretch of road! . The Jaunt consumed but six and one-halt hours of leisurely driving, encompassed ' 185 miles of changing vistas, took the party through three changes of atmos phere: inland, mountain and coast. . . ! This route offers the Ideal. trip'. It Is perfectly flexible as to dis tance travel and length of stay. Its opportunities for all kinds of outdoor activities are unlimited. Be the vacationer lover of what ever, sport, he can bo satisfied. There is fishing, creek, rirer, surf and deep-sea; hunting in season; swimming, fresh, salt, surf and "nat" water; mountain and beach hiking horseback rid ing; .tennis, golf dancing and ev en roller-skating. What more could be asked? Although tho first part of the trip may be dusty and ' rough in spots, on the whole, little notice is taken-f roads other than as smooth highways. " : A glance at tho mileage figures will show how tho trip may be varied from a few miles , to tho complete loop. Scarcely a mile does not offer something worth seeing. Now, when the ominous "where to go" pops up, think of a loop trip to the coast, that magic place where one meets the sea which has ever charmed as well as frightened man. School Leader Avers Married Teachers Best BATON ROUQB, La. (AP) Married women make better school : teachers than single ones, says T.. H. Harris, superintendent of Louisiana schools. ; Comparing the merits of mar ried and unmarried teachers Har ris said "the arguments are all In favor of employment of the married ones.' "As a rule they aro older." he explained, "and more mature; their courting days are over, and the time required for the prepar ation of school work ' is not de roted to younr men."

BLAKESLEB I PHILADELPHIA (AP) Dual personality may bo only lack of oxygen in the nervous system, and some forms of insan ity only a little deficiency of sul phur and iron . In the brain. j Indications pointing in this di rection were presented to the American Medical '. association convention by Walter Freeman, M. D Washington, D. C, chair man of - tho section - of nervous asd mental diseases. , Soma types of insanity, he said, may, eventually prove to be nutri tional deficiency diseases , which can be handled almost as effec tively as scurvy , and rickets, both at one time a world-wide curse and both now disappearing. Dr. ; Freeman's studies were made at St. Elizabeth hospital in Washington, where some sensa tional advances in relieving insan ity by use of carbon dioxide and oxygen gases and amytal recently were made public by him and his colleague, Dr. Karl H. Langen strasse.; The further advances re ported today are based upon combing with medicine the sci ences of chemistry and physics to search for causes of Insanity. Defective Oxidation Cause of Duality Speaking of the dual personal ity typo of insanity, schizophrenia. Dr. Freeman said: , ' r "The role, of defective ,oxida tlon in the nervous system - in schizophrenia rests upon consid erable evidence and tho striking parallels from ' tho. chemical standpoint between the. phases of manlcdepressiro psychosis and tho hibernation cycle of certain mam mals, point to somo phasic alter ation la colloidal dispersion (changes in coagulation) and electric potentials. ... "Tho effects or "known defi ciencies in oxygenation of tho brain aro often striking. These mental phenomena" can of ten. be banished abruptly ' by supplying; an abundance of oxygen to the brain. "Chemical examination of , tho brain in cases of dementia prae cox has indicated deficiencies in neutral sulphur, and in catalytle iron, both of which findings aro of importance in indicating, in herent deficiencies in oxidative processes." Aunt Bet at 72 Goes to School; Never Too Late MONTGOMERY, Ala- (A P) Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Gurganus is an enthusiastic believer in the adage "Never too old to learn.
