MONDAY,
The Automobile Show
'"PIIE things that nro new
-- are to be set out on
jieoplo of Lnno county to
ginning tomorrow. Tho roster of those who are inter
ested in automobiles nowadays is practically a roster
of the population. He is indeed a stolid individual
who docs not get a thrill out of the sight of a hand
some new car and the gentle purr of its motor and
the very smell of its fuel in process of combustion.
Twenty short years ago tho automobile was still
in the stage of being pioneered. Then its uso was
scarcely moro general than is uso of tho airplane
now. As a means of conveyance for pleasure it was
still a novelty. As a utility its development had begun
scarcely at all. Few indeed were tho bravo souls who
attempted long trips by motor. The uncertainties were'
too great. There was too much hazard of a tow, if not
a walk, homeward. , All that is changed now.
People of today take progress so much as a matter
of course that there is seldom general realization of the
marvels that have come to pass in tho utilization of
the automobile within a score of years. Its develop
ment had been from two directions. One is tho tre
mendous progress made in tho development of the
automobile and its engine, which has brought motor
travel to tho stago of absolute dependability,' prac
tically in all seasons and under all conditions, while
giving to tho public a class of car for every purse,
from the most modest to tho most substantially filled
one. The other is tho no less remarkable development
of tho country's highway system, which has given tho
public hard surfaces on which to drive all intersectional
trunk routes, and rocked roads into most of tho sections
more remote. . This dual development is indeed a won
der of the age.
Nowadays everybody and his wife drives a car,
and tho trouble is to keep tho children from essaying
tho art while yet too young. Everybody is interested
in automobiles and in their new development and im
provements and refinements. In Eugeno the automo
bile dealers and agents are an up-and-coming lot,
thoroughly schooled in tho nowest innovations of their
business. During the n,ext threo days they aro to hold
open house. It is an interesting occasion.
A Record to Be Proud of
APPROXIMATELY $200,000 was paid ouffor labor
by the Eugeno Fruitgrowers' association last year,
bosido's $15,000 for salaries. Sales of products brought
tin aggregate of moro than a million and a quarter
dollars. The figures aro from tho association's annual
reports as published in tho news columns of Tho Guard
lust Saturday.
Here is a big, vinlo industry which pertorms the
tltreefold function of furnishing a home market to homo
producers, expending i(s money in Lane county for
LnnoN county labor and carrying tho lame ot Jjano
county for tho cxcellenoo of its products abroad in the
world, for tlioso products have becomo recognized ns
standard.
Tho association has just closed up the business
of flio biggest year iu its history. Well may every
resident of Lane county bo proud of its record.
It is because of its belief in representative gov
ernment, says tho Albany Herald, that it advocates
final action by Iho legislature on the question of rati-
lioation ol Iho letlenu elulrt
Hentativo government contemplates the execution of
tho will ol tho voters by Iheir chosen representatives.
In the case of tho child labor amendment tho legisla
tors do not know and enniiot know at present what the
voters want. Thero lias scarcely been better reason
for a referendum on any measuro than thero is on
this one,
Representative Upshaw, in tho general enthusiasm
with which the national liouso received tho announce
ment that Representative Longworth was a father, for
got to inquiro regarding an important detail and as
a result acclaimed tho baby "Theodore Roosevelt Long
worth." After nil, tho name could bo made- to fit with
,tlio change of ono letter. 'Why not Theodora T
The legislature wheels into its final week with no
legislation enacted of general importance to tho whole
state. Yet thero aro somo
direct legislation and tho leaving of all to the lawmak
ing legislature.
Tho Eugeno Young Men's Christian association,
which is inaugurating its annual maintenance drive, is
engaged in tho work of building men. A pretty im
portant work, and a pretty good enuso to help.
Governor Hartley, new executivo in tho slate of
Washington, led the legislature from start to finish
of its shortened session. In Oregon things nro not
done that way this year.
May as well make up our minds to it now the
old car is going to look liko the dickens after wo see
what's in tho armory tomorrow.

The Eddy Bill.
(Portland Telegram)
Senator Eddy has undoubtedly
struck a responsive chord with the
parents in hti sponsorship of a bill to
require the teaching of fundamentals
In the high schools. His theory 11
that our present plan of feeding 'hlih
school students psychology and so
ciology before they have learned to
read snd pell Is all wrong. "We are
rapidly drifting Swsy from discipline
nd th fundamentals of education, "
says Eddy, "and the sooner our eduea
tors realize the situation, the better
it will be for tiie boys and girls of
tlilH state."
Wc must confess ourselves heartily
In sympathy with Mr. Eddy's idea.
The complaint of parents that their
children ere hopelessly ill equipped in
the rudiments sf education is coming
to be not the exception, but the T.iie,

education too thin and should wet

Mr. Vlnlng's Oratory.
((Hood River lilader)
Hood River has never listened to a
more touching eloquence than thst of
Irving E. Vining, here Monday night
to address the chamber of commerce.
No one was present who wee not in
spired by the word pictures of the
head of the Oregon state chamber of
commerce. It was one of the longest
addresses ever delivered In Hood Riv
er, but the chamber members vat rapt
and in silence. They left In thought,
and Uiey'U think about that talk for
many days. One member was so ab
sorbed in Mr. Vlninr's talk that he
walked several blocks to his home,
forgetting his automobile. Newspaper
reporters, listening, forgot to take
notes.
Some refer to Mr. Vining ss an old-
fashioned orator. Let's have more old
fashioned orators. He intersperses
his practical advice to the state's
businessmen with an eloquence. He
makes of business snd s state's de
velopment something of a romance.
His is a kind of practical ideallim.
We wish that all Hood River bad
heard him Monday night.

According to Governor Tierce's
messaxe. bearing on tho port of Tort-
land commission, the queen city of

years, dominated both bouses of the
legislature and Is still In control at
the present time. Tbcre is a whole lot

trade to a very large degree in all
things of more than ordinary import
ance, and will quite likely remulu in
this category until some other way is
devised to meet the demnnds of the
people.

RADIO DOES THINGS TO DICTIONARY
Five Thousand Words Its Contribution to Date to Language. With
Prospects That More Are on Way
Five thousand new words and more
to come! This is the contribution
radio is Riving to the English Ian-
guage. How this huge addition of
words Is gathered is explained in the
following article by one of America's
most renowned lexicographers. Dr.
Yizetelly is known not only for bin
work as compiler of the Funk &
Wagnalls new standard dictionary, but
for his informative radio talks on the
English language.
By FRANK H. VIZETELL?
(Famous Lexicographer)
VXTHAT effect has radio had tipon
the English language? . 1
It baa almost turned it upside
down.
Never In the history of science has
an invention gripped the fancy and in
terest of the people as has the magic
of the air. Naturally, a brand new
vocabulary had to spring into ex
istence to cope with the shadings of
technique In this new field, that had
to be labeled and expressed.
lladio has peppered the wUole dic
tionary with new words from "auto
dyne" to "ay mo-dyne." There are
more than two hundred new words
with the prefix "radio" alone.
I haven't been able to count all of
these new word-coinages; they pour
over my desk too fast. But I don't
think it would be amiss to Btntc that
the language has been enriched in
ono way or another by over five
thousand vocabulary terms. The mod
ern dictionary has become almost a
codo book of rndio.
Greatest Word Mint
In fact radio has been the greatest j
stimulus to the language since ' the
war. Tho war gave rise to about J
six thousand word, but these were
not all purely military. They added i
to tho rhemicol,. political and social
vornbularies as well.
Therefore, with radio just in its
infancy and diffusing itself all
through our lexicon, we can well im
ngine that it will surpass alt other
sources of word-minting as time rolls
on.
Has radio increased our personal
vocabularies?
