JURY VERDICT
IN JORY ESTATE
CASE UPHELD
A jury verdict In the court of
Judge Percy R. Kelly is upheld by
an opinion of the supreme court
Tuesday in the case of O. L. Dcn
cer, executor of the estate of Sarah
A. Jory, against George W. Jory,
appellant.
The jury verdict allowed the
plaintiff judgments on three causes
of action In amounts of $240. plus
$50 attorney fees, tor the first cause,
$65 for the second cause and $150
for the third.
The plaintiff alleged as first
cause that the defendant had given
Sarah A. Jory a promissory note
for $240. The defendant admitted
this but contended that it had been
paid.
For the second cause it was al
leged that Sarah A. Jory, during
1921 and 1922, advanced the de
fendant, who was her husband, vari
ous sums totaling $223.40. Jory ad
mitted to only $63 of this and con
tended that it had been paid.
For the third cause it was alleged
that Jory converted to his own use
certain personal property owned by
his late wife of the reasonable value
of $240, and that lis refused to de
liver It up when demanded. He
denied the charge of conversion.
To the first cause the only de
fense made by Jory was his conten
tion that the note was last seen
in his possession after his wife's
death, and the presumption of pay
ment when a note is in possession
of the debtor. The note was not
offered in evidence and there were
no indications on its face as far as
the record goes that it had been
paid.
The supreme court finds evidence
to support the allegations in tne
second and third causes.
TEACHERS APPROVE
That the majority of the Innova
tions made in the high school or
ganization by Principal Fred Wolf
have the approval of the teaching
staff is shown by the answers re
ceived on the vote slips sent out
Monday by Wolf. The one new
feature which is criticised by the
teachers is the 10 minute roll period
each morning. Fourteen teachers
considered the roll period poor, 3
considered it harmful. '5 teachers
were neutral. 7 thought it good, and
6 were decidedly In favor of it.
Twelve of those opposing the roll
period state they would favor it if
It were shortened.
Votes on the other Ideas were as
follows: mid -period bell, ' fine
thing," 12; good ", 15; "neutral", 7'.
"harmful" 1. Sophomore, Junior
and senior home rooms, "fine
thing," 16; "good", 12; "neutral." d.
Girls and boys home rooms, 'fine
thing", 6; "gocd", 8; "neutral", 9;
"poor", 6; "harmful", 3. TZie teach
ers were overwhelming in favor of
the present attendance report sys
tem, 15 stating It to be a "fine
thing", 14 considering the innova
tion "good", and four teachers
thought it neither good nor baa.

EN FRANKLIN
TALK ON THRIFT
High pressure salesmen, attractive
window displays, bargain weeks and
the dollar down and a dollar a week
through eternity program are the
greatest evils of thrift today, "Ben
jamin Franklin" (in person and
costume) told the Kiwanis club
Tuesday noon. Thrift week gives
an opportunity to bolster up sales
resistance against these evils, he
said.
An Idle dollar is as much a' dis
grace as an idle man, and every
dollar should, every year, give birth
to a baby called Six Per Cent, the
speaker held. Thrift was described
as a character builder. Money is
obtained. Franklin declared, in three
ways earned, received as a gut or
stolen. The advice was given to
save while earning, invest the pro
ceeds safely and conservatively and
to let it grow to provide an income
for old age or after the earning
years have passed. Warning was
given to avoid all projects for be
coming suddenly rich.
Thrift was held a basic virtue and
provided a background for Judging
relative values. The entire nation
organized to break down sales
resistance and to assault the pocket-
book. It is not necessary to be
miserly to be thriftly, Franklin said.

GOVERNMENT
THERMOMETER

The government should main
tain a thermometer inside of 6alem
Instead of taking the Salem tem
perature out in the country and
broadcasting to the world that this
is the Salem record," stated Dan J.
Fry, Tuesday.
"With thermometers all over
town registering from 6 to 10 de
grees above In - Salem Monday
morning, for instance, the official
record showed two degrees below.
while on Tuesday morning the of
ficial record showed five decrees be
low and tlie aver.ve Salem thermo
meter Indicated around from six to
eight degrees above.
"It dceen't reflect the tempera
ture in Salem. It reflects the tem
perature out in the country on a
windswept place. If the government
is after a record as to how cold it
gets In the Willamette valley it could
probably find a place even colder
than the airport. I noticed the tem
perature at Eugene was given as 12
above, but it is likely places could
be found outside the Eugene city
limits where the thermometer was
shown as low as it registered In Sa
lem.
"What we wish to know Is what
the official thermometer records In
Salem, not ouf in the country. The
world gathers the idea from the rec
ord given that.-Salem Is about the
coldest place in the Willamette val
ley when as a matter of fact the
temperature in the city is on about
a par with that in other sections of
the valley. . .. .
wny isn t the thermometer plac
ed on the federal building or some
similar place so we can get an ac
curate idea of the general temper
ature m tne city instead of going
out in the coldest place that can be
found in the vicinity and not even
in the city limits at that, and record
this as the temperature In Salem?
This should be. changed."

JUDGKENT OF
$450100 FOR
TITLE COMPANY
tlcalty declares. The ten minutes
In the morning Is a total waste."
Another home room teacher states
Just as decisively, "My Idea of a
home room is a place where pu
pils may collect their wits after
the morning and noon rush, where
they may be encouraged, advised,
and assisted in their won: and as
to selection cf courses and sub
jects; where by proper discussion
and group reaction they may come
to realize their place in the school
and learn that a kindly feeling
should and does exist between fac
ulty and students; and where ad
ditional time might be spent in
study."
A prevalence of opinion among
the majority of teachers is that
the "home room" is degenerating
into just another club or high
school organization. Teachers
themselves use the Monday home
room period for everything from
checking up on the students'
scholastic averago, to havinj lec
tures on etiquette.
A number of miscellaneous sug
gestions have made made as how to
occupy the students during the
home room period. One teacher
suggested that ths students might
read a book, another that they
might study aviation, flner print
ing or stamp collecting. Mock trials,
speakers, a contest featuring home
room yells, quartets and choruses,
run a home room column in the
Clarion, or clean their lockers, are
also listed by tlie teachers.
The summary of reports show
that seven home room teachers re
gard a chairman or president as
the logical method of handling
home room organization, four
teachers suggest more than one of
ficer, two suggest a program com
mittee for the home room, and one
teacher would like to see tlie home
room handled on the city govern
ment plan.
Suggestions ior activities to bs
carried out by the home rooms are
that the time be devoted to study
(made by 12 teachers), basketball,
programs, sale of tickets, other
home rooms invited to visit, an
nouncements of room or school ac
tivities, parliamentary drill, scrap
books for Christmas gifts to chil
dren, an orchestra, or bicycle rides
after school.
Topics for home room discussion
range from etiquette, school or class
spirit, activities of the school as a
whole, personal speech, conduct in
assembly and In classroom or
throughout the school, requirements
for graduation, and current events.
According to the summarization
of the reports, the home room
teachers should regard their home
room periods as an opportunity for
discipline, building right attitudes,
creating not wclal atmosphere,
placing students tn existing clubs,
or by Individual conferences on how
to study. '
