Editor end PublUher Smelt "The smelt are in the Sandy" is the cry that annually ' awakens the sportsmen of Portland from their winter lethargy and sends them by the tens of thousands to line the shores of the small stream through whose turbulent waters millions of the tiny silver horde are ascending to spawn. Armed with most anything in the line of fishing tackle from a pitchfork to a hoop-skirt the slaughter merrily proceeds. Gunny-sacks, washtubs and boilers are filled with gravid shiners and then fishermen proudly homeward wend their weary way, to publicly display the trophies of their skill. The smelt should be the emblem of the Oregon sportsman, as it is a good match for his science and cleverness, and there are enough to go around, for the present at least. Smelt average as large as most of the trout caught, fully as large as the only trout that receive protection under Oregon laws, those under 10 inches in length, and like the trout is taken principally in spawning season. Moreover, the smelt is not particular about the paraphernalia used to land him and in as averse to a fly as most anglers, and hardware is as good for bait as anything else. It will be seen therefore, that the smelt has every qualifi cation to rank as the king of Oregon streams and favorite of the Oregon sportsman, replacing the fast vanishing trout. What he lacks in quality he makes up in quantity, and he is just as sporty and gamey as those who capture him in fact for his size, somewhat superior. TODAY'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE HORIZONTAL 1.

A Professor's Phantasy l'rofessor Conrad Tharaldsen of the zoology department of Northwestern University is out with the prediction that in the remote future man will have a great brain but be lacking in physical strength. "A big bulging head", he says, "will be supported by a sliver-like body with short arms and legs and maybe hoofs instead of feet," for in the Utopia to come there will be little use for muscle and consequently man will not have much. The professor knows just about as much about the fu'ure as the rest of us, which is nothing at all. His conclus ions, however, are in direct contrast with the little we know of man in the 25 000 or less years that he has left records, Brains are no bigger and bodies no feebler now than when civilization first dawned, and the fact that we are breeding morons and subnormals at such an intensive rate dismisses the idea that man is growing intellectual or running to brains. As a matter of fact the brainy people in any nation or race are few and progress is due principally to these few. Periodically the cycle of civilization swings back into barbar ism. and the progress of centuries is submerged in the twilight of a dark age. We like to think that each recurrent period of advance reaches a higher level than any before it, but it is mere conjecture. The great bulging head is found only in feeble-minded institutions and is no indication of brains. So far as we know, the sound body is still an essential to a sound mind anj neither the shape of the head nor its size any real r. -asurc of brains.

Uncle Ovid, from that hols In the hedge as you may think, for X knew that I'm going to have thit avocado oalad to nipht." "How do you know?" he asked in great surprise. "Ovid Marchmont, don't tell me that you have been sentimental enough to have avocadoes sent from your ru nch for Li! lemay," Mr. Vail exelmmcd. "Why not? Melissa, can you not leave to Li lit-may and myself our memories? We are not young, like you, my dear." "Ovid, that sounds os though you were making fun of nie." 'I am not, Alclim. One never makes fun of those things that one everences and adn.ires." "The old fellow Is harder hit than even I thought," Harold Ken nedy said to himself as he smiting ty led the way to the elevator with the words: "Here is where we march en manae uon Murchniont's California avocadocs." "And wc are going to have them served in true California fashion at the beginning of the din net. was Llllemay'a command. The party made a sensation as It entered the dining room. ".Mercy, look at the Jewels: Who nrc they? They must be some personages from abroad," re marked a woman to her escort. "No," he answered with a smile, it is only the entourage of an oil queen and a moving picture actor from Hollywood" Liileinay hcud the comment and with a haughtier reserve than usual walked to the table tet aside for them. She was silent and preoccupied all through the dinner. Much to Marchmont's disappointment ihe hardly tasted her avocado salad. At last the party left for the review which seemed to LlUemay to be Interminable. She was thinking all the time about her mother unJ Harold Ken nedy. Once he enught him look ing at htand there wns an ex prtiwlon in his eyes which ma her think th.it he was curious about her. Instantly she smttetl back at him. A plan sprang fuil fledged Into her mind. She decid ed she would pique HiiroUl Ken nedy's curiosity and interest, 'i'hen he would tell hl.n what she had done and why she had .loae it. It never entered the' glii's head th.-.t mort.ils make mistakes when they try to play gods which rule the in most Uvea of hum. 'm lefn?M. It never entered her mind that the blow might break her- mother's heart. She did not realize that the plan appealed to her as feasible because unconsciously she wanted to wreak upon Harold socio of the hate and de.p:ilr that Itoberl McLean had called up In her. Mrs. Vail had not noticed her daughter's silence. Neither v;i:i she aware thit Ovid Marchmont too was taciturn, and that hLi acquiescence to going, on to the dance nftcr the review was w-oak. Carefully she patched up the ravagre of hr make-up ami told herself that the day h:d taken much out of her. She was long ing for the elufp mid rest of her lover's arms in the dance. So she hurried them along. The mor-ent the .arty was seat ed she held out her r.amls with a Uttle gesture of appeal to Harold and he clasped her whirled her from the rinc-iule table out upon the palished floor. " You see, Li ilemay," observed Marchmont in an interval when Miss Nort.m was looking the oth or way in interested observation. 'yes. but I'll not let him have her. It is easy to see that he is after her money. He shall not make her unhappy." "X myse'f, would not let him have her if I thought that," said Marchmont hoitutly, "but you must know, LlHemay, that earin? for your mother as I do and know ing that I would be glad to take her and work for her if she did not have a penny, X can not see why sne would not be attractive without mnney to any n.an, young or old." "Oh, I didn't mein It that way Lilt. -may tuii, ftcLng rebuked. The dance ended and Melissa Vail came hack to the table, flush ed and radiant. "There," she exclaimed, "I am entirely rested. Lillemay, you mu.t dunce with Harold, you will think yon are floating in space." The girl causht the man's eye and her lip curled, "t noticed he danced n'most as well as a 'gigo lo.' " Harold Kennedy stnrted at the insult. He seemed about to say something. Uut the music be rjinnii g again, he almost lifted Lil lemay bodily from he chair. As he whirled her away he whis pered: "Why is it necenary for you to insult me? Don't you want our mother to have a little happi ness after her long years of work and sacrifice for you?"
