Bad Men Present, but

Houdini's erustule tfgulnst fraudu
lent spirit-mongers occupied a ereat
deal of his time and thought during
the last years of his life. But there
was a brief period In his early stage
career when, assisted by his wife, he
used to do a "mind reading" and
"spirit message" act, pure hocus po-
cus, of course.
One night he was tipped off that
two negroes the local "had men"
were In the gallery. These men went
about armed with razors and three
weeks before, one of their pals Imd
been murdered. While no tangible
evidence could be raised to fasten the
crime on them, the people of the
town felt that the. were liiiii.l.'.if.-.i
When Houdini began to give his
"messages," he presently stepped for

"I have a message here for Bill,
Doakes and Jim Saunders," he. said.

Corvallis. The University of Ore
gon football team staged a brilliant
comeback after three years of defeat
in the state of Oregon football classic,
and took the annual state 'champion
ship battle from Oregon State col
lege here Saturday by a score of 12
to 0. An overflow crowd of 22,000 saw
the game.
Coach Schissler's Oregon State
Beavers were clearly surprised by the
unexpected strength of Oregon in the
hrst half and were consistently out
classed in practically every depart
ment of the game in the first two
periods.
Coming back in the second half the
State college team developed a fight
ing streak they had not shown before
and threatened to score, even up to
the last minute of the game. ' The
threat was challenged by the Oregon
team and the University players
clung to the lead and had the ball on
their own 15 yard line as the game
ended.
The Webfoots stopped the long
gains and accurate passes of the bril
liant Maple, Oregon State quarter
back, when gains and passes might
have meant scores. In contrast, the
Staters allowed Kitsmiller, flashy
Oregon forward, to slip through for
the first score in the first period after
Oregon had worked the ball to the
10 yard line after recovering a State
blocked punt in midfield. Kitzmiller
failed to kick the goal.
The second score came in the second
period when a lateral pass gave Ore
gon first down on the Ore
gon State college 25 yard line from
where another pass, Kitzmiller to
Robinson, made another first down on
the eleven yard mark. To. top this.
the Staters were penalized to the two I
yard line for holding, Gould was held
for no gain but Burnell carried the
ball over m the next play -with
tackle smash. A completed pass for
the extra point was disallowed
Stadleman was caught holding.
ihe Oregon State Beavers foueht
bitterly for victory in the last half
making six first downs to Oresron'
none. They once penetrated to the one
yard line but lost the ball on a fum
ble. In the last few minutes they
again worked the ball down to the 10
yard line where a pass was knocked
down on the goal line.
Maple played the entire game with

He never fumbled but Oregon covered

Matter of Accuracy
of Greatest Import
I do not know that there Is any
thing, except It be humility, which is
sq valuable as an incident of educa
tion as accuracy.- And accuracy can
be taught. Direct lies told to the
world are as dust In the balance when
weighed against the falsehoods of in
accuracy. These are the fatal things
And they are all-pervading. I scarce
ly care what is taught to the yeans
if it will but implant in them the habit
of accuracy.
Now, look at the matter in this
light. Take the speech of ony man
for any given day. For once that he
wilfully gives a wrong color (with un
eye to his own Interests) to anything
Which be states or uarrates, lie mis
takes or misdescribes 20 time?, on ac
count of bis inability to tell anything
accurately.
Besides, there Is this Important re
sult from a habit of accuracy that It
produces truthfulness even on those
occasions where a man would be
tempted to be untruthful. He grad
ually gets to love occuracy more even
than his own interests; at last he has
a passion for accuracy. Arthur Helps.
