(Jiy The AnsocialM -presn)
WASHINGTON, Dec. -4. The
conflict -that has enveloped prohi
bition 'enforcement ever since its
inception and since has gained new
momentum in the last few days, to
night was headed toward Its orig
inal battleground, the floors of
congress.
With the opening of congress
only a few days away, both wets
and drys are forming their lines
for attack and defense. Recent de
velopments indicate that, while
some breaches exist in the ranks'
of the prohibitionists, the wets are
counting on strong support.. i
Dyer Back of Move
Among various proposals to be
presented to congress outright re
peal of the Volstead act will be
sought by Representative Dyer,
Missouri, ranking Republican of
the house judiciary committee and
one of the wet leaders, who here
tofore has contended merely for
modification of the law.
The prohibition program which
was taken to the white house yes
terday was across seas today with1
a direct appeal to Pope Pius XI
for moral support in public actlv-1
ity in this country. It was made
by the united committee for pro
hibition enforcement, including a1
number of Catholic and Protestant
reform organizations which deliv
ered the complaint yesterday to
President Coolidge. i
President Is Backed :
The criticisms of the adminis
trations contained in that com
munication brought reverbrations
within the committee today. The
Methodist board of temperance,
prohibition and public morals, ad
vised the- president that it was in
no way responsible for the com
mittee's statement- and that it still
was confident that enforcement
would eventually reach perfection.
Mr.- Coolidge was advised also by
Mrs. Ella A. Boole, newly elected
president of the Women's Christian
Tomnerance union mat ner or
ganization stood with the president
in his enforcement stana.
Breaches in the ranks ot the
united committee were opened even
more definitely with the resigna
tions of several members who dis
approved of the committee's com
plaint to Mr. Coolidge, including
the Rev. Dr. Clarence True Wilson
of the Methodist board, Oliver "W.
Stewart of Indianapolis, president
of the Flying Squadron foundation,
and Edwin C: Dinwiddle of the In
ternational Order of Good Templars.

. A survoy of Kugeno, conducted
at the University of Oregon, Indi
cates that the city has grown In
population at least 60 per cent
since tho federal census of 1920.
In that year, Kugeno was credited
with a population of 10,800, which
did not Include the university stu
dents or the suburbs, such as Fair
mount and College -Crest.'. Al
though no census was , taken in
1925, a careful estimate gives the
city a population ot 10,500. It the
university and the suburbs be In
cluded, the total Is 20,000, an In
crease of 52 per cent in five years.
This estimate la based on the
chamber of commerce census of
1924, which found the city to have
a population of 16,087, Including
the university and the suburbs.
Polk's directory on the same basis
gave Eugene 19,000 In January of
this year.
Figures Verify Ball ma to
Indirectly, other figures verify
th.B estimate of growth, it is staled
In the-report. The number of
water connections from city mains
In 1920 was 2626; today there are
4240 similar ' connections or an
expansion of 61 per cent. There
have been 1792 new telephone con
nections made within this period,
bringing the total up to 4242, for
an increase of 77 per cent.- - .-'
Five years ago, the . . postbf fic
delivered mall to approximately
3000 families; now mall is de
livered to 5000, and the number
of carrier has been Increased from
10 to 15. During the same period
the postofrice receipts nave grown
53 per cent, or from $74,000 to
$125,000. -
The school enrollment gives an
other indication of Eugene's ex
pansion. For the five-year period
the per cent of Increase is 42, there
being 3407 school children now for
the 2396 In 1920. The high schools
shoes the irreatest increase, -having
grown from 687 to 1082, or 67 per
cent, whllo the grammar Bcnoois
have grown from 1708 to 2325, or
36 per cent. -
Bank Clearings Increase ...
The enlargement of Eugene has
been reflected in the. banlt clear
ings. It Is shown... In- 192Q the
clearings totaled i8,072,8U.13.
For. the first 11 months of 1925,
they have amounted to- 425, 343,
752.41, with the prospect of reach
ing the sum of $27,843,752 for the
year. -If this amount is -reached
the increase will have been 54 per
cent. . :.v . ,
The growth in population has
not kept pace proportionally with
tho Increase in buildings, however,
the Burvev shows. Uo -to Decem

The sixth annual state high
school conference opened yestefduy
morning at the . university and
started the machinery working on
the problems cast Into It -by dele
gates representing 25,000 Oregon
high school students. -
-Following the Joint session from
9 to 10 o'clock, the three divisions
of the conference got their heads
together to thresh out difficulties
and hear ' addresses on their re
spective problems. The High School
Press association in one group, the
Association of Student Body Offi
cials In another and the association
of girls, league representatives in
another. ...
"There Is a close relationship be
tween' high school students and
university students in this state,"
said Dr. Henry D. Sheldon, chair
man of the university administra
tive committee in his address of
welcome to tho assembled dele
gates. "Both the high school and
the. university are means by which
the state is -getting - ready to solve
its future problems. - Today, more
than ever before,-there is a ten
dency - toward --, mass-mindedness.
We feel we are just one cog In a
great machine and in many cases
our occupations tend to dwarf us."
Dr. Sheldon - warned the students
against . this tendency and. urged .
the delegates to adopt ah ethical, .
social, - and, constructive attitude,
toward the 'problems of life. Solv-.
lng life's ..greatest problems-can- be '
domV only '-through- co-operation
Such as the conference affords, he
asserted.- -. :; - - ! . .v
- Malcolm- Welcomes Visitors -
Walter Malcolm, president of the
associated-students, welcomed the
delegates on behalf of -the student,
body. "Consider the campus yours,"
. he . told - them-, -expressing, the wish
that each delegate might gain
worthwhile . ideas from having at
tended the two-day sessions. "We
want you to get an idea of. the
value of higher education."
After the joint session Avery
Thompson, president of the stu
dent officers- association, called
that division together in the music
building where the program of
speakers was run through.
"Athletics are an education in
themselves," - said C. A.. Howard,
superintendent ot Marshfleld high
schools, and. one of the principal
speakers on the program, "in that
students - leatn the extreme im
portance of -physical fitness, a sense
of fair play in association with
other people, and a recognition of
the opportunities to serve their
home community. Athletics further
serve to keep the importance of
physical- fitness before the public,
and last but not least, athletics
develop within a group of individ
uals a Bchool spirit that unites
them into a strong student body."
Dean Marian A. Brown, of the
university high school, Oakland,
Cal., spoke with much feeling on
the subject. "Socializing Values in
High School Athletics." "I believe
students can do anything they wish
with their community if they de
mand it," he said. "The merchant
has no right to demand a winning
team before giving their support
to high school activities. It doesn't
make any-difference whether or
not we are winners as long as we
know what we are winning. You
students, rather than the princi
pal, the teacher or the coach, are
the real educators." , .
Student Finances Discussed
"Rex Putman, superintendent ot
schools at Redmond, addressed the
delegates on "Student Finances."
"There are five things necessary to
success in the financial side ot a
student organisation. First, the
public must be sold on tho student
body activities. Second, the prin
cipal of -the school must be sold.
Third, the rest of the faculty must
be Bold. Fourth, tho student body
must be sold and lastly there must
be nn efficient way of handling
finances after you have them.
Dr. Dan E. Clark, secretary of
tho state debating league, in a brlot
address urged the representatives
of the high schools to carry back
to' their, organizations tho pleas
that debate be recognized and that
all schools become members ot tho
league. .
Along the same subject was tho
address of Norman C. Thome, ns
nlatnnt kunerlntendent of schools
of Portland on 'Debate In tho High
Schools." "I think flooato snouio.
be as muoh.an activity in the high
school as football, baskotball, or
baseball. Dobate offers tho oppor
tunity to break out mentally. De
bate may be a hobby which will
afterwards add to a person's llfo
when he gets out into tho world.
It offers a boy or girl tho oppor
tunity to do his best."
Walter Malcolm, president of the
associated students of the univer
sity, gave a short talk on "Loader
ship tor All." ,
Avery Thompson, president of
the student body officers' associa
tion and acting chalrman of the
meeting, appointed a nominations
and a resolutions committee which
will give their reports at tho meet
ing this morning. Those on the
committee are as follows: Nomina
