OREGON, MAY 23, 1919 The new telephone director!' disclos es a most unreliable compilation of the names of Athena subscribers, and if the lints of other towns in the coun ty art ."8 obsolete, the operators must necessarily SI'S. mucn time irJ- gating the live fro1.'!! tljij-tfead ones. For instance, there is no Foss-Win-ship hardware firm in Athena; the Prestun-Parton Milling company ceased to exist two years ago; C. A. Barrett & Co. have gone out of business; for over a year the Athena Department Store baa taken the place of Fix Radtke; and Ralph Grihble is in Audu bon, Iowa; Sam R. Hunter has moved to the Walia Walla valley and it would take more than ringing up 20F3 to get him; Gerald Kilgjre is farming down in the Cold Springs country. Just why the directory does not elim inate the names of former subscribers is not known, nor is the attempt made here to give explanation or even to speculate as to the cause, but for the sake of efficiency in service rendered patrons and the public, would not correct compilation bring better results' WW The practicing of a couple of green chainraen on a side street was respon sible for the rumor that a new survey for the hardsurface road was in pro grcsa, and before the rumor fizzled out another was born which placed the nad astride of the survey. There are wo possible entrances of the hard- urface road through Athena. One would come into town over the present macadamized highway; the other, after crossingthe O.-W. R. & N. right of way below the rock quary, would come east up Main street from between the depot and the Taylor Grain office building. Both are good, common sense routes and either would servo Athena well. The final selection of the route will bo determined by the State Engineer, whose edict is law in state road building, but whose judg ment in road matters precludea possi ble construction up a side street to the exclusion of a Main street thorough fare, when absolutely nothing would be gained by grade, curvature or distance.

Just now It Is difficult to tell nhether the political complexion of Hungary Is Russian red or Prussian blue. There won't he as much Ice this summer as formerly.

Since the navigation of the Ithlne Ii to be "open lo all nutlons," the old watch may fairly be said to be wound up.

Sir Thomas Llpton Is a public bene factor In drawing off overworked at tention from holshevlsm et al. to the pleasing excitement of another yacbt cup race. Scientists tell us that It takes the body three months to recover from an attack of anger. A grouch, then, must be constantly trying to get back to good health. Now that the Huns nre showing more activity In executing one an other, the allies ought to be a little more careless In letting ammunition slip through. The fact that the season of the year is coming when one can spend nearly all the time out of doors, however, doesn't have any effect on the supply of houses and rentals. Adaptation of poison gas from war uses to agricultural attack on farm In sects and rodent pests Is declared a failure by Washington authorities. Cows don't wenr gas masks. Paris publications are leaving blank spaces to Indicate where the news has been censored. The reader Is thus at liberty to use his own Imagination, vfhich Is often rather dangerous.

LOATH TO GIVE UP ARMOR Nobles Wore It as Gala Costume Long After It Was of Any Value as Protection. Until the sixteenth century iirmor'rte veloped In a logical way; Its forms Were governed by the necessities of war, changes In It were the result of practical experience and actual experi ment on the battlefield not decided upon In the office of the minister of war. After the sixteenth century It be came fnntnstlc and meaningless, a gala costume rather than a harness; the greatest captains opposed Its use, but the nobles clung to It as a mark of distinction. After It was made bulletproof It be came so enormously heavy that at the end of the sixteenth century Lanone Complained that gentlemen of thirty were already deformed by the weight of their miliar. In spite of the huge armors of Henry VIII, of Anthony of Burgundy and of some others, the average size of the modem man Is greater than that of the soldier of the middle ages and the re naissance, If we can Judge from the armors preserved la Hie museums nf England and the Continent, which are, Willi few exceptions, small and nar row, especially In the leg and thigh pieces. .
