An attempt is to be made early this full to gel an appellation for the University of Oregon ath letic teams, similar to names such as "Cougars." "Beavers." "Rear cats," and "Sun-dodgers," used by other conference teams. Through the alumni association of the uni versity, suggestions for such a name are expected to be reeled from o alumni and friends of the unlvtw sity. such names to be voted on by the students of the school this fall. Specifications for such Jin appel lation as outlined by Miss Charlie Fenton, secretary of the alumni as sociation, to whom suggestions are to be sent, decree that the name must he western original, and be composed Of open vowel sounds, and that It should imply rugged ness, virility, sagaciousness ana good sportsmanship. Names of ani mals are not tabooed, but titles such as "pioneers." and "trail blaz ers," whichh ave already been sug gested and which may be submitted. to a student vote this fall, will be preferred, according to Miss Fen ton. The University of Oregon is prac tically Hie only institution on the coast whose athletic teams have not such a name. The matter of get ting a iiame for Oregon teams has been brought up before, but noth ing definte has been done. This year, quick action Is wanted so as to have the name before the opening of the football season. Danzig Opens Poles as Supply Source, Report Paris, Aug. 2 4.

Why It Is Interesting In one of his recent sane and safe front porch speeches Senator Harding made the startling statement that "the story of civilization is a very interesting one" a profound philosophical observation and well calculated not to antag onize the discordant factions of the grand old party. The story of civilization is, however, the story of human progress. Its interesting feature is the triumph of progress over reaction, of the forward looking over the backward looking, of the idealist over the materialist. It is not the bloody battles, the panoply of courts, the glory of kings that make history interesting, it is the struggle for human rights, of the slave to become a man and of the serf to become a citizen and the citizen to rule himself. Every step up the long winding spiral of progress has been bitterly contested by the reactionaries and standpatters of the time. There has always been a Harding to urge a return to "normalcy," to "look backward to the skyline of need me nu're than you have ever liic nciLitig suit, lu act mc ciciciv uactt. wiui me juca ui checking progress. Old King John was probably the first Englishman to council a return to "normalcy" when the barons forced him to sign the Magna Charta at Runnymede and he spent the balance of his life futilly trying to restore the "good old days." But his reactionary warnings went unheeded. The Stuarts were also prominent standpatters of a late day and gallantly battled against parliament for a return to "normalcy." They regarded a parliament with much the same emotion as our senate leaders view the League of Na- I tions. Yet their opposition only insured the final triumph of parliament. The American tories of revolutionary days viewed with undisguised dismay the revolt of the colonies, vigorously op posed the creation of the Republic and never ceased to sigh for a return to the "normalcy" of King George's rule. Through the story of the republic, every effort for progress has met vigorous resistance. There has always been an "old guard" on hand to battle for nrivileere and onnose reform none more notorious than the senate cabal, cap tained by Penrose, Lodge and Smoot, of which Senator Hard ing is an humble member, which not only fought the League of Nations, but opposed railrpad and corporation regulation, direct primaries, equal suffrage, popular election of senators and every worth-while reform of the present generation. Now the cry is for a return to the "normalcy" of pre Roosevelt and pre-Wilson days, to the era when Wall street gamblers controlled our national finances and big business our politics; to the days of protective tariff graft, when a full dinner pail, provided he voted right, was all there was in life for the laboring man; to the days when wealth went untaxed and children manned factories and all the similar blessings of that blessed era of "normalcy" Senator Harding represents. The triumphs of progress over reaction are what make the story of civilization so interesting though when the present chapter is written in finality, it is extremely doubt ful if Senator Harding finds it of absorbing interest. fftft. 1 KPY - T IM JT Jfc LG8 jMf 1 REPLY W&MGMLSrkk bY ARTHUR SCOTT ARTHUR BAILS V Benjamin Tools Guilty Freddie Firefly and Benjamin Bat faced each other in Farmer Green's dark dooryard.

"What do you suppose the let ter means?" said Alice in a mysti fied voice. "I haven't the slightest idea," I answered. But a little involuntary shudder shook rue from head to foot as I tried to picture what my great need might be. "How we will laugh at him when he comes," said Alice. And then she stopped for a moment and then went on musing. "I never dreamed that Karl Shepard was such a temperamental sort of a man. It's strange, isn't it, that you can think you know a per son perfectly and then something ; happens, which makes you under stand that as far as his real char acter is concerned, you have not known him at all?" "Yes, AIHe, I thhVk we are all more or less hyprocrites, even to ourselves. It is very probable that Karl Shepard has never shown this side of his nature to anyone but me. I have felt that I was a kind of a safety valve, through which he had allowed himself to give out his innermost fellings." "Where are the other letters?" asked Alice, "I should love to read them."

I've had in mindj for quite a time, some action splendid and sublime, our reputa tion to retrieve, and knocking enemies to peeve. Now, watch my curves! Observe my foam ! Good night, punk world, I'm going home!" And then he took his trusty gat and shot himself below the hat. And when I heard the ghastly news I had a season of the blues.

Helen's glance was frankly cur ious as 1 held the letter in my hand, hut I could not read the let ter while she was there and so we talked in a' desultory way, as wo men do who have something of more imKrtance on their minds. Just then Alice entered and Hel en explained ray prophecy If a letter from Karl Shepard. Alice was quite as surprised as Helen, but no- more so than I myself, at mv involuntary forecast. . told myself that it must have been another woman speaking, for cer ! tainly I did not wish that John I was dead. I could not he so km. tal as all that. However, I slowly unfolded the letter and read: "I am sitting here, myj dear Katherine, moved much against my will to write to you. I had de termined never to write you again and I think I mentioned this in my last letter. But somethinc is "Bath" Lost Word and Lost Art in Serbia, Is Claim Vrajne, Serbia. There was a time in Vrajne when the peole in cluded whatever the Serbian word for bath may be in their everyday vocaDutanes and not infrequently suited the action to the word, but that was hundreds of years ago. To day it is with difficulty that the en voys of the American Red Cross at Vrajne are teaching the people the practical meaning of the word. And yet, of all the towns in Ser bia, Vrajne Is the one which should be most familiar with -baths and btahing, f orit is the home of the biggest and oldest Turkish bath establishment in the country. The ancient baths were built in the 16th-; century by the Turks themselves, who then ruled the country. They are housed in an ancient stone structure with a red tile roof. The water, in the days when the baths were operating, flowed into huge vats above primitive under ground furnaces from a spring whose crystal stream, now released, still bubbles through the vaulted cellars of the ancient establishment. The steam from the vats was led to the hot rooms above through channels cut in the solid rock walls of the building, for in the days whn the Vrajne baths were con structed there was no such thing as an iron or lead pipe in all of Serbia. Today the Vrajne baths are oe serted. Bathing is a ritual of which the city's population has known nothing for generations. The youth of the town are learning the art from the Red Cross workers feed ing and caring for the children of the poor, but the elders still look on the regular ablution of the body as a troublesome superfluity and the ancient baths of Vrajne may crumble into ruins ere the subter ranean steam vats boil and bubble again. And he would eat me in a minute - or only half a minute, maybe." "Well, wouldn't you like that?" Freddie Firefly inquired, as if he Were greatly surprised. "Certainly not!" said Benjamin Bat. "You talk like a ahem!" "Perhaps I do," Freddie Firefly retorted. "But I should think it would be just as jolly for you to be eaten by Solomon Owl as it would for me to be eaten by ydu." Benjamin started violently. "What in the world ever put such a strange idea into your head?" Benjamin Bat cried. He was greatly astonished, for he had not supposed that Freddie Firefly suspected exactly what was in his mind. "You nut that idea into my head yourself," Freddie Firefly said very sternly. And the moment Benjamin Bat heard that, he felt very sheepish. But unlike most people who feel ashamed, he did not hang his head. Strangely enough, Benja min Bat was never so proud as when his head hung lower than his heels. And he had a habit, when he felt guilty or uncomfort able, of raising his head, instead of dropping It. So now he lifted his head very high. And by that tell-tale sign Fred die Firefly knew at once that Ben jamin Bat would have flushed with dismay, had he only known how. "You're a rascal! Freddie criea fiercely, flashing his light again and again in Benjamin Bat's eyes until that gentleman blinked so fast that it seemed as if his eyes must be in danger of turning In side cut. "You'd better be off!" Freddie Firefly shouted. "And if you ever come to me again, coaxing me to put out my light so you can eat me I'll certainly bring Solomon Owl to your tree when you;'re asleep there." still neniamin Bat made no move. Yet he wanted to go away because he was in terror of being burned by Freddie Firefly's light. But he did not dare turn his back upos Freddie Firefly and his light and fly away. And he began to be sorry that he had never learned to fly backwards. "Please " Benjamin Bat stam mered at last "please do me a fa. vor. I'm not feeling very well. I'm afraid I'm going to be ill. Maybe you'll be good enough to : go and ask my friend farmer Green to step outside his house a moment. Just tell him I'm in trouble, he whined. "Trouble!" Freddie Fired y sneered, for he knew well enough by this time that Benjamin Bat was scared, though he couidn't quite guess the reason for Benja min's fright. "Y'ou'll be in worse trouble if I show Solomon Owl where you sleep In the daytime." "Stand back!" Benjamin Bat shrieked suddenly. "You'll singe 4iiv wings if you re not careful! Then Freddie Firefly knew ex actly what Benjamin feared. And he was so amused that he couldn't help taking a turn around the dooryard, to dance and laugh and shout. And when he came back to the place where he hud left Benjamin Bat, that odd gentleman had vanished. The terrified Benjamin had floundered away toward the big swamp. And never, afterward, did he have a word to say to Freddie Firefly. But whenever Freddie Firefly caught sight of Benjamin Bat's dark shape, flitting in a zigzag path across the moon, he always ! cried ou tin a loud voice: "Look out, Benjamin Bat! Mr. Moon will singe your wings if you're not careful." (To be continued tomorrow.)

Shall Ameri ca join with them in the only hon orable and effective way of mak ing peace with Germany? Shall America enter heart and soul upon the work of maintaining the peace of the world as she did upon the task of winning the war?

The annual crop re port of the Continental and Com- j for some years mercial National Bank, which Is compiled by hundreds of corre spondents throughout the Amer ican farming region, says that production of important crops "will exceed that of last season with the exception of wheat," and that the aggregate production will j be in excess of domestic demands. The report says the country can spare 220,000,000 bushels of wheat, or the same as exported the past season. Proper distribution of the big wheat crop is greatly aided by resumption of dealing in wheat for future delivery on the Chicago Board of Trade, after three years of a Government fixed price. The law of supply and demand, the dominating influence in the world open market, has a stabilizing ef fect on prices. Comparisons of leading crops for two years, the figures of last year being the official returns, are given as follows: 1920 (est.) bu. 1919 bu.
