Taxpayers will be glad to note that the highest educational institutions of the state are keeping abreast of the times. It was feared for a time that the Oregon Agricultural College had distanced the University of Oregon by installing courses in the modern agricultural pursuits of cafeteria management, movie picture photography and baby nursing, but to offset this superior enterprise, the university is sending out ques tionnaires to find out what Bhould be taught besides football and basketball, which will probably result in establishing brand new courses and instructors for the glory of Old Oregon. The latest of several questionnaires is from the School of Physical Education, which is attempting to find "what types of physical activities should be taught college students study ing for various professions" and the recipient is asked to state his age, profession, and whether ability to play a game is considered a "necessary part of the equipment of a suc cessful business man." Presumably the big idea of asking fool questions, besides opening new fields of activity to swell the university payroll, is that certain games are corollaries of certain professions, instead of a matter of individual temperament and physique and that with each occupation should be prescribed a special course in physical exercise. For instance, if a majority of questionnaries from editors showed that most editors were fishermen, therefore a course in angling should be installed as an essential part of the course in journalism, and if squash was the favorite of the lawyers no legal education would be complete without a course in squash. As there are some 35 athletic activities proposed in the questionnaire, there is the opportunity for establishing courses of instruction in all 35, and with every student forced to take the exercise prescribed for his or her future occupa tion, a larger faculty and a larger future looms ahead for department of physical education. All of which proves that the modern slate educational institution is fully capable of spending all the millage tax Income insight, no matter how the money rolls in and then some. All Prisons Full With 517 convicts in the state penitentiary and with a dozen more enroutc, the record of prison population is at its highest peak. So crowded has the institution become that it Is necessary to place three prisoners in some of the cells. We can hardly believe this, for prohibition was to empty our jails, prisons and asylums yet after 10 years of state dryness, there arc more people in jail, in prison and in the asylums in Oregon than in her history. Moreover, in the old days most of the convicts were men over 40 years of ago. Today 60 percent are in the early 20's. The same condition exists throughout the United States. There is. more crime today than ever, more law-breaking and more insanity. The record of arrests in all large cities is at its zenith while the record of unsolved crimes looms larger every year. All of which shows that as an eliminator of crime, prohi bition has been a failure but as an inspiration to law breaking, it has been a phenominal success. All of Oregon, especially Salem, extends to Governor Pierce heartfelt sympathy in the hour of his bereavement for the loss of his wife and help-meet. Though protracted illness kept Mrs. Pierce from playing her role as first lady of Oregon, her patience and fortitude in her extended suffering won her the love and admiration of the state.

McLean had jrotten quickly anJ stiffly to his feet and answered as though the question had been ak ed him. You are rltfht. Miss Vail. Last night the moon waj full, to night It has bewun to wane." Antoinette Norton purposely lin gered a little behind the count and Lille and she heard the girl with liobert McLean say a little jealou Jy: Uob, I thought you did not know her well."

Then they parted. these two who had played at love-niaklnK with all the zet and desire of youth and who had parted with the coldness and reserve of strang ers.
