A WARDS in tho music memory content among seventh xinml eighth grade pupils of the Geary and Frances E. U illard public schools ot Eugene are to - next Friday evening at tlie Mrst aiciiioiiibi umiu,, will mark tho culmination of a fine and worthy period that began in March of this year. Eugene lias a growing reputation as a musical cen ter. Never has musical interest Here noon nigiier imui during the past year. Culmination of tho manifestation of that fact wan given in the splendid production of IN1. 1 1 from- f ivu f fvi 1 ROfiir fv Inst month. That event whs handled in a wnv that would have dono crerlit to a city of many limes Eugene's population. And there is no better way to perpotuale and expand musical amine hero than by inculcating appreciation of good music in our school children. X'n other method so well does that ns the extension of knowledge of and familiarity with good music. That )s wliat tlie music memory contest ncomiiiHii-. i tn study is made through talking machine record. And prizes are awarded. There is the stimulation in the child of the spirit of contest. "What thus begins with the. desire to win by learning to recognize the classical compositions offered, develops with familiarity into love of those compositions for their own sake. In sonio of us tho love of high class music is born, but not all of us tiro so fortunate. Those of us whose early leaning is towards the popular and evanoscent tunes and songs of n day know what it is to hear such a piece as tho "Peer Gynl," suite for the first time with indifference, the secoin. time with toleration, the third lime with mild interest and thereafter with increasing degrees of liking and finally with fixed affection. That is the sort of thing that comes over school children from participation in music memory contests. Jhoir To Avoid Accidents. TlIFi United States Census Bureau announced recently that more than 18,00 persons in this country met death in automobile accidents last year. The record of fatalities grows year by year, and the ratio of increase is greater than tho percent ago of growth of motor cars in use. .A little reflection will reveal why this is so. It is rarely that a newspaper of general news service publishes a day's editions without reporting one or more fatal automobile smashes. Situated ns it is on tho Pa cifio highway, Eugene hears of many such deplorable accidents. As the season advances and traffic grows in volume it is well for drivers to keep the ever present hazard in mind and. to drive with care. Evou if you arc well satisfied with your own skill and caution you can never know what tho other fellow is going to do. The following rules, credited to William II. Stewart, head of 11 New York auto school, arc 'worth remembering. If they were universally observed, accidents would be lew indeed: Don't try to pusa another car on a curve; you'll get liuit aoonoi' or later. Don't upct'd; only antntours do It. Don't drlvn In trolley-car tracks; they'll get you Into trouble. Don't splash mud on Innocent byatnmlorn; It's a thotiRhtloss, cruol trick. Don't lock your brakes when you start to skid; you'll lose control of your car. Don't drlvo fuHt on wot pavements; you'ro bouud to regret it. Don't race your mutor, slam your doors, or sound your horn Into at night; tho neighbors may wake up and shoot you. Don't cut across tho inside of 11 curve; sometime, you'll meot anothor car head-on. Don't seek to puss another car without first giving a warn ing loot of your horn; yon may get aldeswlperi. Don't hack your car without looking behind you; there's always something there. Don't rldo In tho middle of tho rond; another road-hog will tangle will) yon eventually. The Busy Man's Newspaper r i : : Thomas Riley Marshall was a likable and whole some American citizen, lie made no pretensions to genius, lie was successful as a lawyer mid notably successful in drawing men to him politically. Best evi dence of this was furnished in the election of 1008, when Marshall, a democrat, was elected governor of Indiana by 10,000 at the same time Tuft, a republican, carried that slate for president by 15,000. ' In his two terms as vice-president, lit I 'J to P'I'JO, he served well, if not conspicuously.

Not even rh biggest issues of internation al politics bother the state depart ment as it is bothered periodically by controversies over the "presentation" of American women at the roynl court of St. James, Matters in dispute between gov ernments can be argued, adjusted, compromised. Trained men talk them over rationally. There are rules and precedent! to go by. Reason rules at least some of the time. Reason has nothing to do with be ing "presented" nt court. The American woman who wants to be "presented" just wants to be "presented" "because." The average American can't possibly imagine how n certain type DOES want to be "pre sented." With n woman of that typo it's au obsession, n longing like the longiug of the confirmed dope fined for his favorite, drug. "Presented.'' thai woman 'has "ar rived" socially. S'hejrnn quit, l''or Ur death has no silng. Shes aceomplifeh ed all things. , "Unprrscnted," her life has failed ignomiuiously. Other than American women may be this way, too. I don't know. The Americana are the ones I observed, as a correspondent in London, where the "presentation" fight always is on at the I'nited States embassy whenever a "court" is ahead. An eligible candidate for "presenta tion" must possess three qualifica tions. 1. Respectability. Most f them have that. 2. Money enough to nny for the prescribed outfit. All have that or they wouldn't bo candidates. 3. An adequate "pull" to get them a "command" to attend court. That's where they fall down. You can count on your fingers the Ameri can women with "pull" enough of their very own to get the necessary "command." They include the diplo matic group, those who have married into the English peerage, a few who have spent decades and fortunes in England building themselves up so cially and two or three of the auper elect here at home. The rest must depend on the rec ommendation of the American ambas sador in London. His recommendation invariably does the work, but every time there's a "court" he has hun dreds of applications and only a dozen or twenty recommendations to dispense. Who gets 'em?, You'd better believe that deciding that is what nukes the ambassador's hair turn graj. The applicants mostly arc big peo ple, mind, with lots of influence in the home land. It doesn't do to offend tlipm and yet. it has to be done. After pounding the ambassador on the back until he's half deadfor he can make his limited number of "com mands" go only just so far they be gin bombarding the state department. "Favoritism !" .they yell. There were two "courts" in suc cession in London recently. The slate department officials are wild-eyed yet. Rut probably they're not a circum stance to the way Ambassador Hough ton looks. In Lighter Vein His First Thought (Boston Transcript) "Rob, dear," said his young wife, "isn't my new golf suit lovely? Re versible plaid nnd only $21." "Twenty-one dollars, eh? Are the figures reversible, too?"

"l'es; the newspapers gave a col umn to their wedding and they got disputing as to whether it t was be cause of the prominence of hU family or hers." Tho Best Pays (Minneapolis Tribune) Jones and his wife were Inlking about the remarkable discoveries in King Tutankhamen's tomb. "isn't it wonderful, my dear,' said Jones. "They actually found in the tomb couches and chairs thirty cen turies old and in good condition." "Well," replied the wife, "I've al ways said it pays in the long run to buy the best." Driver Got the Worst (Edinburgh Scotsman) A taiicab driver recently got the worst of a wordy bout. An old man with ft wheelbarrow wouldn't get out of the way, and the taxicab man rhouted: i "You ought to be wheeling a baby I buggy." "And you .ought to be iu it, replied the old man. Impractical (Washington Star) "An orator should speak clearly and to the point, and quit when he gets through. "Sometimes, maybe," answered Senator Sorghum. "But that's no way to filibuster."
