She Inspired Young Women Qrie of America's most distinguished women, a woman who lived to make her creed for living a tradition adopted by thou sands -of young women she inspired, died Wednesday. She was Dr. Aurelia Henry Reinhardt, president emeritus of Mills college in California. Her greatest contribution to American living was her con cept of higher education and her definition of the still insecure status pf women in our society. She said: "At Mills we believe . . . that life is a precious gift, and that a woman's life is mora important than either her educational advantage or her choice of occupation ... I believe in higher education, not as an end, but as a means to a more reasonable and happy existence." These ideals "which have to do with the American woman and her qualities of mind and character, together with our demo cratic ideals as they apply to the women of our country" were concepts which she endeavored to turn into realities. And Salem girls who went to Mills report that most changes for the better at the college were due to the efforts of Dr. Reinhardt. Certainly Dr. Reinhardt's life exemplified her credo. A daughter of San Francisco pioneers, she became a teacher and scholar, earned degrees from a score of schools, wrote exten sively served in executive - capacity in dozens of educational, cultural and religious groups. Yet her duties as wife and mother were not neglected. Although her hushand died early, leaving her with two small sons, she carried on. Now her sons, one a doctor, the other consul general to Leningrad, and her new spiritual daughters survive to carry on her faith in "the ulti mate good." What Price Sweet Home! We hate to adopt a defeatist attitude about anything, but we'll be more than a little surprised if all the whiskers in Sweet Home bring up the gals' controversial hemlines by the width of one hair. Maybe this sounds discouraging, and we don't want to discourage those 7f Sweet Home brothers whose unquestioned courage led them to shave-less revolt against the New Look. They undoubtedly liked their wives as they were; in fact, they very, apparently hate to see less of them. But, if the marital status of ourselves and our friends is any criterion, we doubt that Sweet Home will have any sweeter homes or longer skirts as a result of their stand. Of course, it is possible milady may like her man well-haired. But come "half past kissin' time," it's doubtful. However (and what an awful thought), suppose the gals say OK Henry ol' boy, ol' boy, for every inch of whiskers you grow, another inch goes on our skirts. Or well, we won't even give the little woman an inkling of that idea. Anyway, the reper cussions, potentially, are terrific, and we just hate to see the boys take all those chances. Sweet Home is a wonderful name, a wonderful place. We hate to see it getting longer-haired and longer-skirted. And we hate even more to dwell on how sour it could get if this impasse actually lasts to St. Patrick's day. We know it's an awful chance to take, and our neck's all stretched out of shape already, but maybe there's still a chance for arbitration and if so we'd resign edly do our best if called on. Beautifying Bush's Pasture ; Allocation of tracts in Bush's Pasture to various garden organizations will not only give these groups a field for experi mentation with growing things but also result in the beautify ing of the park. One who has visited the rose test gardens in Washington park, Portland, can visualize what it will mean for Salem's park to have plots devoted to particular plantings, roses, camellias, rhododendrons, etc. Then there is the prospect that the Bush house will be saved and Used as a home for the Salem Art Museum: Period furnish ings have been bought that once graced the home, so eventually it will be an authentic restoration, with the are exhibits added. : On the lower pasture the athletic field for Willamette university is now developing good sod. Later a stadium will be built and field sports be transferred from the present campus. Other areas will be devoted to public games and sports. Thus the pasture will come into use and enjoyment, at modest cost, to serve the people for the indefinite future. Two Hurdles The fcchoolboard faces two hurdles with its proposed $3,500,000 bond issue. The first is the 15-mill increase in the tax. levy which would result. The other is fear of how the money would be spent, based on the erection of the "Grand Central Schoolbus Terminal" on North 14th street. This garage, butting right up against the sidewalk and cutting off the perspective of the high school frcm the south, has drawn a great deal of criticism. It was located there over the protests of residents of North 14th street, who yet are unable to understand why the bus garage wasn't put behind the school buildings, against the railroad. What assurance, the critics ask, will the taxpayers have that the -school authorities will conserve aesthetic values in spend ing the $3,300,000? : It looks like we'll see no more reports On Russia like the Steinbeck-Capa "Russian Journal." The Soviet government has prohibited all state employes from talking to foreigners and limited conversation between outsiders and clerks, waiters, etc., to strictly business ... on penalty of prosecution under the criminal code. The American dollar-a-year man is a plutocrat in the eyes of an officially-registered lobbyist for three Chinese provinces promoting reconstruction aid in the senate at Washington. At present rates of exchange this lobbyist's salary amounts to not quite 10 cents a year. The mayor of -Palestine's Arab resistance capital city said World War III will begin in the Near East when British evacua tion is completed Aug. 1, 1948. Peace-loving nations still hope, however, that U.N. strength will cause Arabs to fold their tents and silently steal away. : Soon it may be possible to drop St. Bernard dogs to snow bound wanderers by parachute. The U.S. air force has been training canine paratroopers who have already rescued 46 per sons from northern wastes. Maybe they'll be an important fac tor in some future transarctic war. i Now why would the Russian want the $170 million worth of old -masters like Raphael's "Sistine Madonna" which they took from Dresden's -fameus Zwinger art museum?

Geologist to Get Moa Skull A rare Moa skull Is en route to Russell Morley, Salem geologist who specializes In study of the Moa through a sizeable and grow ing collection of bones of various species of the extinct New Zet land bird. Morley expressed delight Fri day over the news reaching him via mail that the long-sought skull one of the few known to be in existence la being sent him from Rochester, N. T. After many months of negotiations with New Zealand and other sources for a skull, Morley turned up a chance lead which with a simple exchange of correspondence made available the skull from Darwin L. Piatt's osteologieal laboratory in Rochester. If it proves to be of the right species he will be able to re construct a complete Moa skele ton and if it doesn't, says Morley, he's still enthusiastic over prospects of a skull to study. Receipt of Morley's good news coincided with Friday's States man article and pictures explain ing his unusual research with fossil remains of the Moa.

Yet Gandhi, born into a narrow Hindu sect, became a universallat la the breadth of bia religion, saying of himself "I am an Untouchable, a Hindu, a Moslem, a Christian, a Jew, a Buddhist ... X am a pupil of Jesus. Educated in law in London, Gandhi practiced law In South Africa for a time, then returned to India where he led the long fight for independence. His meth od waa civil disobedience, non violence. He attracted attention by bis fasts, by his simple living, his encouragement of home indus tries to reduce importation from Britain, and of illegal distillation of salt, his years in prison. Inde pendence finally came, but it was not for Gandhi the precious thing he had pictured. Division of the subcontinent into two nations, ensuing strife and violence robbed him of the desire to keep on liv ing, until his recent fast brought promises of cessation of Internal strife. It may be that Gandhi's martyrdom will shock the people of Hindustan and Pakistan into peace. For that end Gandhi would cheerfully have lam down his life. Now Gandhi belongs among the saints of all times and aU faiths. Amusement Tax Distributed Quarterly apportionment of state amusement device tax reve nues, covering the period ended Dec.
