at least a part of the damage that use is causing. No
other outcome would be fair or just and none other will

but it cannot bo averted permanently. .
Automobile Parking.
IN Portland they have just cut the downtown parking
limit for automobiles back to .'iO minutes again, after
an experiment of several months with a limit of one
hour. A peculiar thing about automobile parking regula
tions is that they never stay settled , in most cities.
Changes are made so frequently that the public .has
trouble in trying to keep abreast of them.
The motive for the latest change at Portland is
given, not as an effort to relieve traffic congestion, but
to give more people a chance to park within a given
day, by making tliem make way for each other more
quickly than they have been doing lately. Retail mer
chants have come to believe, it is said, that this will
be better for business than the longer period. '
It is likely there in something to bo Raid for this
view, but there is a good deal to bo said for the view
that the longer period is desirable, too. A 30-miriute
parking period does not give sufficient time for the
nutomnhilist to transact much business, or do much
shopping within a small area. There is less interruption
to traffic from having automobiles "move on" only
once, an hour than when they are compelled to move
every 30 minutes. And of course every parking space
in the congested district of every city will .have one
automobile or another in it all day anyway. Jt would
seem that Kugeno's present parking arrangement is pre
ferable to Portland's latest one.
The Cat With Unlimited Lives
Judge Thomas F. Graham, of the superior court in
San Francisco, has been reading about "The 'Flapper
ile, the feature serial story that is sweeping the
country and which is being published in The Guard, and
he doesn't find anything in the situation to worry about.
1 "The flapper wife is as much a development of the age
as the radio ami woman's emancipation," sagely con
cludes the judge, "and she and her progressive sisters
Jiavo already accomplished much for the advancement
of their sex and the future generation." In his court
Judge Graham deals with divorce cases. IIo has the
reputation of reconciling more estranged couples than
ho parts permanently. In his viewpoint as expressed
in his interview in The Guard yesterday one gels light
on the reason for his success and his reputation, lie
understands femininity.
Tho dispatches tell us that David Mcriweathor Milton,
who has become the husband of the charming grand
daughter of John I). Rockefeller, is a young lawyer
with a modest income, It is hoped that by following
closely the frugal methods with which all good Ameri
cans are imbued sineo Coolidgo became president, the
newlyweds will bo ablo to afford meat on their table
at least twice a week.
The concerts that tho Odd Fellows band gave last
summer were enjoyed by thousands of people. A fund
Jias been started to finance another series of these fine
concerts for this season. AVhat is needed just now is
more contributions to the fund, in order to insure suc
cess of the project and insure enjoyment and entertain
ment for tho masses in the warm summer evenings.

Bert Lytell and Claire "Windsor, screen stars, have
just been married. At the wedding tho bridegroom ex
pressed as , his understanding of the marriage obligation
that it was "to love, honor mid be gay." Such a remark
at such a timo gives a line on the mental nttitudo that
unmakes marriages so often in filmdom.
Bert K. Hauey as a member of tho Fnited States
shipping board is a credit to Oregon, his native state.
It is a source of satisfaction to Oregonians that the
president has decided to re appoint him and that he
lias decided to accept.
If Henry Ford is willing to pay money for a fleet of
government ships that are rusting themselves away in
tho boneyards, whatever he pavs will be that much
gained by tho government. Why not let him have them?
The recently improved stretch of road between Cot
tage Grove and Lorane has become rutted and ridged at
several places already, and bears eloquent testimony to
tho damage resulting from overloads.

Criticism and the Regents
(Salem Statesman)
The regents of the state university
ore enf runted with exacting responsi
bilities. The manngement of an insti
tution supported by general taxation
and disbursing hundreds of thousnnds
of dollars a yehr through Its vnrious
avenues nf expenses is a big under
taking. Through the administrative of
ficer! whom they employ they are re
quired to decide policies and acta
financial, ndmintatrntiro and profes
sional. To perform their duties re
quire; sound judgment, keen discrimi
nation and executive courage and ac
tion The university regents are men of
mature years, high character, and
have nil held positions of trust, and
are, from thwsa facts, presumably
able to discharge their duties toward
the university. Including officers and
even faculty Intelligence ond with the
best interests nf tho institution and
individuals in mind.
The public is entitled to Informa
tion on the nets of ita servants and
the hoard of regents are also entitled
to the respect and confirmation of 1
their acts to which their position en
titles them. They should not be sub
ject to student demands. The stu
dents, in case of real or fancied
wrongs, have recourse to the hoard
through the proper channels which
ore nvallnhle in the persons of faculty
advisers and student body and faculty
representatives. The hoard should be
receptive to these efforts of both stu
dents and faculty to he heard.
The tise of student publications or
reports to condemn the board is how
ever a kind of arrognnce and attack
which should not be toleroted.
WHAT IF THEY RELEASE ATOMS?
Somebody, Predicts Stewart, May Blow Our Whole Universe Sky
Hlah Some Day
By CHARLES P. STEWART
(XEA Service Writer)
WASHINGTON, May 15, What
are the chances that some reck
less scientist will press a button or
pull n lever one of these days and
blow the whole universe sky high?
Atoms are supposed to be energy.
Something like a teaspoonful of this
mm-
stuff, released, would furnish power
enough, according to the scientists,
to drive the Leviuthan across the At
lantic. Only it's' hard to release.
However, experimenters are trying
to do it alt the timo. Inasmuch as
an atom Is infinitely too small to
neo with the highest power micro
scope, it's difficult to tell how far
they'vo succeeded, but two or three
scientists believe they have chewed
a very limited number of atoms all up
"disintegrated" them, as they say.
Obviously the sudden, uncontrolled
release of the energy contained in any
considerable quuntity of atoms, if
they're as powerful aa scientists as
sert, would stir things up to a marked
.extent.
Hot tied and let out homeopat Id
eally, to drive tbe Leviathan from
New York, to Liverpool, it would be
all right. Hut simply released un
conditionally and allowed to fly oil
over my! In fact, they speak at
the government bureau of standards
of tho "explosion" of atoms.
If a teaspoonful would kick the
Vl,000-ton Bteamship Leviathan 3000
miles, what would a quart or a gallon
or a barrclful do!
Resides, there's a theory that the
"explosion" of only one atom, under
proper or maybe it would be more
appropriate to say improper condi
tions, might set off all the rent
the entire universe of them just as
the explosion of one grain of powder
in a kegful explodes all the other
grains, too.
Indeed, there's scientific authority
for the surmise that such a stunt! doctor rejoined.

Then the next second, or fraction

said, having done all his pt5iiminary
fixing, touches a little gadget and

It may sound fresh th a mere lay
man, and an ignorant one, at thnt,
to suy so, but 1 don't believe all this
atomic stuff the scientists got off.
To read it in a book or listen to a
lecture, you'd think they knew exactly
what they wore talking about.
Rut call on one and try to pin him
down. You'll find him vaguer than
you expect.

we used to be about the nebular hy

about that but the idea's exploded

It is The Guard's understanding
that the board of regents is running ;
tho university, ana that tho board's
decisions are executed through the
university administration. Both fac
ulty and Btudent body, upon occasion,
may make representations on ques
tions in which they are concerned'
the faculty to tho regents snd the stu
dent body to the faculty, but we do
not think there Is evidence that either
student body or faculty Is "running '
the university" in the sense that Mr.
Thompson's communication would im
pute, at least to the student body.
The rescission of the divided terra res
olution was made by the faculty upon
petition of the students. With Mr.
Thompson's evident opinion that the
board of regents ought to "mn the
university" The Guard is in complete
accord, but it thinks that board is

Thompson believes there has been in
