Solving the Football Problem- Agitation to combat the tendencies to over-emphasize and professionalize football is expected to culminate in action by the National Collegiate Athletic association at its annual conference December 130. The suggested remedies comprise: (1) Limiting pro-season training; (2) limiting the number of Intercollcglato contests; (3) limiting the number of games played in other than college stadia; (4) abolishing the so-called athletic scholarships and impropor proselyting and (t) encouraging Intra mural games; (6) refusal of educational Institutions to hereafter employ coaches, trainers, rules officials or others who give service to or aid the promotion of professional football. It is admitted that "intercollegiate football has become so popular and commercialized so seriously as to affect the chief educational purposes of colleges," but the colleges have only themselves to blame. When universities pay more for football coaches than they pay for presidents, as the Uni versity of Oregon is doing, how can it do other than distort the prospective of education in young and impresionable minds? All evils contain within own destruction, and college football is no exception. The professionalism it has fostered has outstripped it and is establishing itself successfully as one of the great public at tractions. Thereby it will eclipse college football and put it back where it belongs, a spectacle interesting only to alumni and students, a friendly contest between rival schools, arm that is what it ought to be. Professional football has evidently, like professional base ball, come to stay. It's games college contests, as hard fought, and on the whole much cleaner. It cannot help but react on college football and re ' lieve public pressure on the problem. Tree Vandalism Illegal In line with the Capital Journal's protest on the wonton destruction of young evergreen trees for use as street dec orations in the modern commercialization of Christmas, the United btatcs 1'orestry bervice ity and immorality of the nelp tnemsclves to comters along roadways and on other people's property, quoting Olson's Oregon laws, section 346, as follows: "Whenever any perxoii shall cut down, glrdlo or otherwise In Juro or carry ott any troo, timber or shrub on tho lanit of another, without lawful authority, In an action by auch person, If Judgment bo given for tho plaintiff, it shall bo given for treble the amount of damages.'' A few prosecutions ending in convictions would do much to halt the annual destruction of evergreens which add so much to the beauty of the landscape. Lost $1,000,000 Governor Pierce, in his .statement on sfntn fimmona A. clares that the threatened $-180,000 shortage in state revenues will not materialize if the people vote next November for the tobacco and tithing taxes held up by referendum, which he unauiLs win yiem over $izt,uuu lor tne two months after election. He estimates that other receipts will exceed esti mates. If this is the case, if the people had voted for these taxes at the special referendum election provided by the legisla ture for last September, the taxes would have been in effect since, and the state been tho recininnt nf gnnrnrimgt.ii, $1,000,000 taxes, which it has lost because the governor vetoed the special election bill. The governor is directly responsible for the loss of this $1,000,000 revenue, to offset which, it has been necessary to increase the state property tax to the limit and still, ac- .uimiij; lo uie estimates ot tne of sate, a deficiency of nearly Loves Greatest Gift By VIOLET DARE When Pat Hamilton rnng the door bell and Hilda Lewis hasten cd to answer It, Mary rushed Into tho bedroom where the baby Iny sleeping. Slio had meant to ask HUdn not to let Hamilton know sho was there, but had had chance to do so. Well. nerh; would have sense enough not to tell him! Mary felt that she could not bear to meet him again. After rushing out of tho restaurant whore she had been dining- with him, that night weeks ngo, pot telling him that she was going, letting him think that sho was Just going to powder her nose and would come back to tho table how could she face him after running away from him nnd going homo nlone as she had then? Ho had never telephoned her; probably he was nngry with her. Probably ho didn't consider that sho ought to bo angry with him, when ho had all but proposed to hor, not letting hor know that ho already was married, sho wonder ed, as she had wondered often be fore, If ho would ever had told her, If his friend had not come along and asked for Mrs. Hamilton. From her hiding piaco in the bedroom she could hear Hilda Lewis greotlng Hamilton nnd tak ing him Into the living-room; only a short hall separated the two rooms, and both doors were open. "I'm so glad to see you ngaln," Hilda exclaimed, "It's been nscs linco you were here. Tull me, how did things go In Kt. Louis?" 'Oh, not so well," Hamilton's voice sounded tired, dlsgrunted. "Say, bring mo some Scotch, will rou? There must be sumo nf that bottle left that I sent you last time . I was here. Hilda hurried down the hall to the kitchen, nnd Mary heard her cracking Ice, and slninmlng the refrigerator door. Presently she went back to the tlvlng-room; Mary caught a glimpse of her paw ing the door with a trny on which were two bottles and glasses Kdllor and Publisher matter at Salem, Oregon countlea, one month 60 cents. 3 year 4 Elsewhere CO conts a themselves the germs of their are as well attended as the latter, and so solve a menacing calls attention to the illegal vandalism, wherein trespassers state treasurer and secretary half a million looms. Sho wondered If Hilda's husband, Jim, know how much at home Hamilton was In the apartment, Hilda has always resented having to live as quietly ns was necessary because of tho smallness of Jim's salary; she had always wanted ex citement and gaiety, Mary recalled. Was she getting It now, without lotting Jim know? "Oh, tho whole world's Just rot tent" Mary teld herself, Utterly. "Kverything's wrong." Hid a girl have to be like Hilda, like Cella, who went out with oth- or women's husbands, who clutch ed nt everything thnt looked like happiness, regardless of how they got It? Hilda was chatting gaily to Ham llton; her voice was high pitched, artificial. "And it's simply lovely, the pret tiest, shawl I over saw," sho ex claimed. "You're a dear to give it to me, Pat. I've wanted one for ages. See Isn't It becoming?" Hamilton's reply was Inaudible. Hilda came Into the bedroom n moment later a benutlful embrold erod slmwl over her outstretched nrms. , "Isn't that Just too gorgeous?" who demanded of Mary. "Isn't It simply wonderful? Pat gave it to me." 'Hut Hilda do you accept such things from him?" asked Mary in amnxement. Oh well he's an old friend of Jim's, and Jim has dono some j things for him that ho won't take! my pay for, so Pat takes this way! of squaring tho debt," Hilda answ- ored, turning her back to Mary and. rowing the room to try the shawl on before the mirror in her dress er. "He's getting full value for everything ho gives, Pat Hamilton is; you needn't worry about that." There wae a cynical, bitter note In her voice; Mary couldn't help seeing her reflection In the mir ror, noting the way her mouth set Into a hard ugly line. Hilda!" It was Pat Hamilton's voice, from the living room. Hilda turned and ran from the room. "Is Mary Watte here?' he de manded. "I know that hat of hers. that's over there on the couch, and tat's her coat, too, unless I'm mis taken. Where Is she?" Mary cowered down on a chair behind the baby's little bed. Oh, what would Hilda say? She would n't bo any more eager to have Mary meet Hamilton thnn Mary herself was! But what would phe say? How would she got out of this tfg-ht corner? "Mary was hero a few minutes o," she was saying, slowly. "And you let her get away! After I'd told you that I wanted to see her again, and you'd said she'd left homo and you didn't know where she was?" His voice was heavy, uly. "You're a good friend, you are! "She wouldn't stay; she said sire didn't want to see you," Hilda told him. That was pnrt of the truth, at least, Mary told herself. And she hadn't stayed in that room where they were; that was true, too, of course. Well next time I wish you'd keep her hero by main force, if you have to," grumbled Hamilton. 'Time we started I guess. Mary heard the front door slam behind them. Sho tiptoed into the front room; from Its windows she could see them get into the auto mobile that waited below, and drive away. Once she had gone with Ham ilton, and been glad that she was- etaying at home with Junior. Now, how glad she was to be the one who stayed behind! She went back to the bedroom to see ir he was asleep, then out to the kitchen, thinking that she would get supper for herself. She had just put the kettle on when the front door bell rang violently. Had they come back? Would she have to see Hamilton after all? Tomorrow A lilt of Truth.

"People gather the idea that the money goes away from hero for some out side purpose, but It does not. This year we havo the privilege of us ing the money for assistance to children and it Is ail being turned into that channel. There are a number of tuberculosis cases, and other children's cases which need assistance. "We ore using the money through co-operation with the child health demonstration, and are particularly fortunate in that regard. I may add that few peo- j pie reoMze just the vast amount of good the child health demon stration Is doing here. It is ac- complishiug actual work in the j care and attention to the sick, al-I though the popular idea seems to be that it is not. The nurses arc I coming as a godsend to numerous families, and a large expense is being saved which otherwise would bo saddled onto the city or county In pooi cases.
