PARROTS
Parrotj have come in for a lot of
unfavorable publicity lately because
of a strange disease which has at
tacked several persons and which is
attributed to infection brought by cer
tain parrots from South America.
Physicians and health officials say
there is no danger of catching "parrot
fever" from a bird which has been in
the family for any considerable tune.
The parrot is pr.dtably the most in
telligent of all birds, and the fact that
It can be taught to talk makes it al
most a human companion. .And. like
human beings, parrots develop person
al attachments to such a degree that
they often pine away and die when
separated
from their particular
friends. Don’t let anybody kill your
parrot just because a few parrots are
suspected of being d m es is r i m e s .

IRE OF JUNIOR CLASS
AROUSED BY RING STORY
Several members of the Junior
claas at the high school have taken
exception to the action of the local
school board when it expressed itself
at the last meeting ss not being en
tirely pleased with the present sys
tem of having students purchase pins
and rings during their last years in
school. The Juniors, it seems, took
the matter too personally. They pre
sumed that the school board objection
were based on the action of their
class alone which is not true. The
members of the board had in mind
the Junior classes of the past several
years when they spoke of the trouble
which was experienced in raising
funds to pay for the Jewelry after It
had been ordered. According to the
members of this year's Junior class
the pins and rings did not remain in
the local express office overnight after
their arrival before they were paid
for and taken to the high school.
About sixty men attended the Mas- '
onic stag party which was held here
on Tuesday evening. Guests were
present from Eugene and other neigh
boring lodges.

ulty qf the law school at the V niver-!

OVERHEATED IRON BURNS
HOLE IN WALL AT NIGHT
Ganna Walska. the Polish singer
who has been married to two Ameri
can multi-millionaires, has convinced
the U S Customs Court that a mar
ried woman can have a legal residence
separate from that of her husband.
That saves Ganna from paying duties
on Ereiwh gowns imported Irom her
Paris "home," though her husband
lives in Lake Forest, Illinois.
This decision is hailed as a great
victory by the ultra-feminists, whose
purpose in life seems to he to break
up the American home and put mar-
ried life on the plane of the cheapest
illicit love-affair Because this "mod
ern" idea runs contrary to the most
deepseated traditicos every expression
of it gets a lot of publicity, which is
probably what Ganna and the other
feminists want. But it by no means
follows that American family life la
in danger. Home and babies and a
hatband with a good job art what the
overwhelming majority of American
girls still want in marriage.

The far coats and silk stockings
worn by the American stenographers
who accompanied the delegates f
this country to the Naval Disat
me nt Conference at London made a
greater impression on English news
paper men than anything else about
the delegation. Londoners never saw
working girls dressed “smartly.*
The young women from the diff
erent departments in Washington who
were taken over to do the clerical
work for the delegation were not
picked for their beauty but solely
because they were the most efficient
at their jobs. In any part of America,
city or country village, they would
attract no special attention. We are
so used to seeing our girts well-
dressed and "smart" in manner and
appearance that we do not realise that
