Item in Statesman. Doc Arnold Bennett Hall, presi dent of tlie University of Oregon, has gone to Hawaii for a six weeks' sojourn due to a breakdown. The doc should have waited until after the came with the state cot lege and no doubt the breakdown would have been complete. He could have then basked in Hawaiian breezes all winter. We wonder when the univer sity 'a fifteen-thousand buck roach plana on a breakdown so be can take a sli week bask, aa well? 'Ae' the Irish poet-theorist has come and went. He says the coun try Is degenerating and will be gone to the dogs In a few years un less It adopts some of his theories to try out on the small rural com munities. He would have the small farmer co-operate, not only to sell prunes, but to absorb culture. Reading his poetry we presume. A poet-theorist's theories on so ciology are generally very pretty but have one drawback. The darn ed things don't work. "Ae" Is trying to apply theories that work In the Irish bogs to the United States. As soon as every small Irish farmer owns a flivver Ae's co-operatives will fade out like fog before the morning sun. The old man will take the family to the talkies and forget to absorb culture via the poetry route. It looks as though this doomed nation will have to degenerate along its own lines. At least. It's a free country and the farmers don't have to read his poetry. ONE BANK ROBBER KILLED; ONE HURT Marland, Okla.
