The Music Memory Contest.
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.

Thomas Riley Marshall was a likable and whole

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. His notable traits were a broad human
ity and a saving sense of humor. lie. died nt 71, with

IT TAKES "PULL" TO GET COMMAND
Difficulty of Getting Presentation at British Royal Court Causes
Grief to Many
liy CHARLES P. STEWART
(NKA Sprvirc Writer)
yASHINUTON, June 2. 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.
