OP) The compulsory edueutioo law of Oregon, requiring that after Septem ber of next year, all children between the ages of 8 to 10 with a few ex ceptions, shall attend public schools, was reached in the supreme court to day for oral argument in two cases brought by the state to have set aside the injunction ut the federal district court ngninst its enforcement. Although it was thought the eases might not bring a sweeping opinion from the court on the constitutional right of states to control the educa tion of childreu within their borders, the controversy has attracted wide atteutiou in educational aud religious circles. The array of counsel brought into court include Former Senator (Jeorge E. Chamberlain; W.'S. Moorej A, II. Pitney mid V. (J. Nyce for the state; Wil iarn 1.

The smelt were running heavy," and J more people took jmrt in the sport j than ever before in any single day. 1 For miles each way from Hi Trout dale bridge there were Toes of park ed cars, and only the careful efforts of a doxen or so deputy sheriffs kept the congestion from becoming unman ageable. .Varied Nets Used Clothes baskets, patched nets, gun ny sacks, and anything else available were used to catch and hold the fish. The first day of the run was oppor tune, fulling on Sunday, when most of the people were free to join In Hie sport.

The supply of words always has been greater than Hie demand . for ordinary usage, but of late the. demand has been increasing rapidly which is good news for Ihe lexir grsphrs who like to have their prod ucts put into use. The late William M. I.affan of the 'w York Sun once said that he de lighted in driving his readers tn the : dictionary. He believed that looking up word was a good habit. Hut even I then there was less use for words, and consequently less ne for di- j tjonsries. tnsu St Ihe present time, j The more extended use ol orus calls for a greater use of the diction arTand the one dictionary that everybody should have is the New J'nirersities Dictionary.
