downtown section of the city, that
she was frightfully hungry. She

Fifty-Fifty .
The action of the state university in choosing a football
coach instead of a president ought to simplify the taxpayers'
proposal for a merger of the state's two higher educational
institutions, forming a super-university.
The two great requisites for such an amalgamation are
now assured. Honors are even. The Oregon Agricultural
College furnishes the president at $10,000 a year and the
University of Oregon the football coach at $8,500 a year.
Given these two requisites, the combination is as simple as
that on a corner grocery safe.
Each institution will therefore furnish BO-50 of the es
sentials of modern higher education and thereby eliminate
rivalry and jealousy and the same policy can be followed
down the line. Thus the university can retain the courses
allied to football, now in the curricula, such as hand-ball,
hockey, bait fishing, pot-hunting, etc., while the college can
monopolize cooking, sewing,' baby-farming, cafeteria man
agement and allied courses' on which it m turn specializes.
With two colleges to select from the football coach would
have a super team, and thereby rank the New Oregon with
the world's great institutions of learning, while the presi
dent's political genius would find plenty of jobs for both
faculties, as well as1 increasing the millage bills and manipu
lating the legislature for appropriations in keeping with the
lame of its tootball team.
James Carey Hayter
Polk county lost another of its finest men and most me-
f ul citizens, and the ablest of its editors when James Carey
Hayter of Dallas succumbed Wednesday night to iniuries
sustained a few hours earlier when hit by an auto driven
Dy a reckless youth. The son of well-known pioneers and
a member of a distinguished family, Mr. Carey's entire life
was devoted to the upbuilding of his native citv and county.
For 20 years Mr. Hayter was publisher of the Polk County
Observer and one of the most progressive and aggressive of
the state's editors. His ability and courage won him the
respect as well as esteem of the press which honored him by
electing him president of the state association.
Scarcely a move in the transformation of Dallas from a
sprawling country village to an up-to-date modern city that
did not owe its inspiration and accomplishment to Mr. Hay
tor's vision and initiative. As councilman and mayor he was
principally responsible for constructing the waterworks,
sewage system and other public improvements. A high
school course was included in the public schools as the result
or nis advocacy, lie was father of the public library. He was
instrumental in securing the establishment of the citv'a larg
est industry, the Willamette Valley Lumber Co., and the
building of the Salem, Falls City and Western railroad by
nie vjrtiiiiiguia, ! it
Though forced by failing health to give up his newspaper
work in 1912, he had as a business man kept in close touch
with public affairs and his advice and counsel were much
sought. His unfailing courtesy and friendliness endeared
him to all. His modesty and self-effacement were such, that
only with his passing will the full efforts of the commun
ity's loss be realized.

, PAT llAMirlON AAA IN
Aa Mnry realized that Pat llnm
iltou had como home with Hilda
she drew back Into a corner, wUh
ing that she could sink through
the floor. Ho etrodo forward and
caught her by both hands.
"Alary! It's wonderful to find
you here!" His voice was eager,
onthuHiistic. But Mary looked
straight pnst him' to HJlda, who
was facing her angrily.
"Hilda could I speak to you
nlonc, jiiHt a minute?' sho aked
"PleiiHol H'h awfully Important."
"Turning me down for Hilda!
All right, but after that 'minuto'
you've got to talk to mo also alono."
Hamilton announced as ho releas
ed her hands.
Hilda looked far from pleased
at seeing her there, but Mnry took
her arm nnd drow her to tho far
end of the hall.
"Jim's home," sho whimpered.
' And he was wild when he thought
you'd gone out with Mr. Hamil
ton." "You told him, I suppose," re
marked Hilda furiously. "Well, I
don't care. If Jim thinks "
"Oh, Hilda, he doesn't know you
went with Mr, Hamilton, truly he
doesn't And he's brought you a
lovely tihuwl. If you could Jut hide
thla one lot mo take enro of it
for you, so that Jim wouldn't know
you've got It, nnd then I'll bring
It to you later, when he's not home
don't make him nngry, Hilda. He
loves you so much."
'Well, I I " Hilda hesitated,
looked at Hamilton, who had eye
only for Mary, Her anger fadod
elowly; she shrugged her shoulders.
"Oh, what's the use!" she exclaim
ed, disgustedly. "He's crazy about
you, so I might as well hang on
to what 1'vo toll"
"Hilda!" Mary cried amazed but
Hilda was trudging up tho stairs.
She nnd left the shawl in a guy
heap on the floor at Mary's feet.
Mary picked it up and folded
It carefully. Hamilton was at her
aids as alio turned to leave the
building.
"Mary, you're not going to run
away from me again," he told her.
"You've got away with it once, but
not this tlmol You're going some
where with me now fur a bit ot sup
per, nnd "
"I'm going home, and I'm going
alone!" shs told him quietly, but
her voice was so full of determina
tion that he drew back, surprised
"Hut Mnry, you dont understand
Hilda was right when she said
that I waa crasy about you, al
ways have been. 1 Just took her
out because he knew you, and 1
thought maybo eho'd know whoro
I could boo you."
"Oh, you didn't think I was Jeal
ous becauso you went out with her
did you?" Mary cried. "How could
you think that? I ran away from
you that night at the restaurant
bocnuse well, I hadn't known that
you were married, but when I
heard that man ask you about your
wire, I well, I didn't want to atny
thero any longer. You hadn't play
ed; fair with me. You hadn't told
mo you woro married. I don't go
out with married men, when their
wives don't know anything about
It."
Ho stared at hor In surprlso that
changed to amusement.
"Quulnlor and more old-fashion
ed than evor, aren't you," he said
at last. "Woll, you're the first one
of your kind I've ever met; maybe
that's why I've fallen so hard for
you. Now listen to me, Mary. My
wife and I have nothing In com
monwe might as welt be divorc
ed, for alt we over see of each
other. We're not even good friends.
Sho lives out West and I spend Ul
my tlmo in tho Kast. I'm crazy
about you and I can do a lot for
you of you'll Just let mo bo a friend
That's all I'll ink, just that you'll
let me bo a friend to you. That's
not much, Is It ?"
"But I you said "
"I asked you to go abroad with
ine, I know. I lot you think I was
free to marry you. But that was
because 1 didn't roalize that you're
the kind of a girl you are.-Mury, I
prom be that I'll never make that
mistake again. Aren't you going to
be kind jto me and let me make
up for that mlstnke?"
Mary wanted to believe him. She
felt hideously alone. Everyone had
gone bnck on her, she told herself,
ovoryono but him. And yet
She shook her head decidedly.
"1 can't," she told him. "I'd like
to, but 1 Just can't."
He looked angry at first; then
he smiled, and held out his hand.
"All right, lets shake hands any
way. And you'll let met take you
home won't you, please? You can't
go out at this hour alone, and Hil
da told me that you lived away
across town from hero."
Mary hesitated a moment She
was really afraid to take the long
trip alone, it was after midnight.
She'd have to wait hours for a car,
and At the other end there'd be a
walk of four blocks through de
serted stroets. His taxi was waiting
outside.

She wont. After all, it would be
all right, just this once, stvq told
herself. :
They sat at a corner, table that
waa softly lighted by candles. Mnry
settled back Into her chair, sur
prised to find that she waa fright
fully tired; she had been so ex
cited all day that she 'had not
known till then how tired she was.
And then sho sat up suddenly,
forgetting her fatigue.
At a table not far away sat Cella,

Iteury Vuii Dyke Admires "Cousui
lane.''
Dr. Henry Vnn Dyke had never
read a Harry Leon Wilson book
until "Cousin Jane" was published.
His idea of Wilson was a writer
of "funny" novels that verge on
burlesque and this serious piece
of fiction was a surprise. Here's
what he says: " 'Cousin Jane' is
dramatic. It has a new background,
the great fantastic house built by
visionary wealth in a now-deserted
California mining town. The char
acter of Jano is vividly and attrac
tively conceived. But I think tho
best-drawn person in the book is
Seth, tho 'outsldo man-of-all-work'
ot the declining house."
Drama Within A Drama In Cur-
Wood Novel.
There Is a drama within the dra
ma of Cut-wood's "The Ancient
Highway." While at work on thte
novel, Curwood" waa living on the
actual scone, the lumber regions
of northern Queboc. As each chap
ter was written, It was read and
appraised by that great Canadian,
Sir William Price, for the story
Is of the forests, and Sir William
was a forester. He approved the
narrative, llttlo knowing that tho
identical fate, so narrowly escap
ed by the hero of the romance,
death in a log Jam in the river
was soon to be his own. Yet It
came before the book was finished.
And "Tho Ancient Highway" Is
dedicated to the memory of Sir
William Prlco.

'MORAL" TESTS
OF
A series of moral standard teats
in the eighth grade of Parrish Jun
ior high school was staged thin
week by the education department
of Willamette university. A total
of 243 pupils woro given the tests.
The results of tho teats will be
compiled and usod in connection
with the results of questlonaire
on home standards, and standard
intelligence tests. "The main pur
pose is to determine whether there
Is any relation between Intelligence
and moral standards, or any rela
tion between home conditions and
moral standards,' says Gilbert
Wrcnn, who had oharge of the
tests.
The examinations have been made
in cooperation with the Tarrish
school authorities.
Each pupil to Wiom the test
was given was presented with a
list of questions, each question ac
companied by four answers. The
pupil was asked to mark the ans
wer, whfch in his opinion, was the
correct one to tho questjon. One
example is as follows:
"When a storekeeper gives you
too much change, you should
"I. Keep it, for he would prob
ably keep it if you gave him too
much.
"2. Scold the clerk for making
a. mistake. -
"4. Report the error to the pro
prietor." A group of six men have gone
over the questions, determining tho
order of corrections of the answers
Kach pupil Is to be graded 1 for
marking tho best answers, 2 for
the second best, eto., lo-wnena of
grado indicating perfectneas of ans
wora,
Itosults of tho tests will be com
piled and announced late in Janu
ary. Tho conclusions reached in tho
lenta will be sent to a national ed
ucutlon magazine for publication,
