Foreign Advertising Representative AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION OCR MOTOR MOLOCH. THE METROPOLITAN LIFE IN a SURANCE Company estimates that motor vehicles last, year killed more than 25,000 persons in the Uni ted States and injured at least 1, 000,000 more. Since 1920, fatalities have increased 67 per cent The sit uation is growing steadily worse. And the worst feature of all is that children between the ages of five and ten years furnish the major portion of the victims. Here is a problem for each com munity to wrestle with, and one worthy of the strongest effort Many, perhaps most of the deaths were caused by carelessness, lack of proper precautions. Too many driv ers and too many pedestrians are trying to beat the other fellow. Industry nas cut down materially the number of preventable acci dents through safety campaigns of one kind or another and through applying common sense to remove certain dangers. ' Now the motor vehicle is demanding a greater toll of victims than the machinery of factories and mills. Something must be done to curb the appetite of the motor Moloch, and now is the time to start WORDS, WORDS, WORDS. AFTER seventy years of painstak ing labor, the celebrated Oxford dictionary has finally been complet ed. The last word has been found and set down. This last word, "zyxt" the 411,047th word in. the language, is the obsolete form of what would now be "thou sayest" It seems the ideal last word for a book of words. Back in 1882, Sir James Murray sent the first pages of A to press. This explains why such a common word now as "appendicitis" is not in this huge dictionary of ten vol umes. In 1882, "appendicitis" had not been recognized as a separate disease and the vord hud not been coined. But there will be a supplement to the work to take care of just such omissions. The supplement will have to be a very large one, and perhaps it is just a bit early to begin talking about it since Volume X, the last one, of this great dictionary is not to be published until late in March. But no dictionary will ever catch up wiwi a. language us anve as cngiisn. POOR LITTLE THING. A MAGAZINE said to be the na tional organ of the younger sets yof some thirty-five American cities has just published an account of the passing of flapperism. The flap per, however, has been dead for some time. Poor little thing, she died, not nf exposure, as some alight think, but rather of lack of it The flapper began to fail when grandmother first bobbed her hair and lopped a couple of inches of cloth off the bottom of her skirts. From then on she languished and the final blow came when the ac counts of her goings on caused peo ple only to shrug their shoulders and say, "What of it?" A demure, shy little girl is peek ing from the wings. Soon she will trip modestly upon the stage so lately occupied by that brazen flap per. But the flapper had her good points and they were obvious. She has passed many of them along to the modest little girl who has taken her place. And in ten years or so, the flapper will be back with us. It was ever so. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. VI7HENEVER an Oregon editor has nothing else to write about nowadays he takes a crack at the proposed $3 auto license fee. There is just about as much chance of the $3 law passing as there is of Al Smith being elected president and that's hardly worth mentioning. Probably if the auto license laws are not made a little more equita ble, with the value of the car and other elements given some consid eration, there may come a day when the people of Oregon would do some such fool stunt in self defense. But that day is still far away, and will probably never come, for the legis lature has a committee at work on the matter right now, to report at the next session The Dalles Optimist PUBLIC OFFICIALS. IT IS just as well to recall this spring that public employment Is , entitled to be rated the same as pri vate employment and the men in the two are of the sme common flesh. In fact a man often goes from private work to public work and the transition by which he becomes a "politician" is imaginary. He re tires later to private employment and we ftna he is the same kind of a chap he was before. The people should select public officials the same as they would pick private workers, with a view to efficiency and economy, and then give them a fair chance to make good. Enter prise Record-Chieftain. The human body is a marvelous piece of machinery, all right for no matter how much it's used the ton gue never wears out HOW TO A school-teacher in one of Dickens' stories has a pupil study the spelling of botany and then go out and work in the garden. Thus the spelling is impressed upon his mind. He wasn't much of a school-teacher, but his idea was sound. The best way to learn is to learn from doing. All knowledge is connected with life. The way to learn a lan guage is to connect every word with something you actually do or see. In other words, language is to be connected with life and not with literature. There was a meeting the other day held in one of our cities to discuss the enabling of students to earn while learning. Repre sentatives of forty-two States of the Union and one from Canada were present Nicholas Ricciardi, President of the National Asso ciation of Vocational Education, said: "Under the present system, students are taught various voca tions, from watchmaking to hair dressing, during their high school terms. When they graduate from high school they are ready to hold a position. In junior college they are permitted to work at remunerative employment during the mornings and attend classes during the afternoon. They can continue their education on through college, and then their earning power will be sufficient to pay their expenses and enable them actually to save money." This plan is already actually carried out at Antioch, a small college town in Ohio, where the business men cooperate with the college and the student works part" of the time and studies part of the time. Thus while at Princeton the average yearly outlay for a son is estimated at $1,500, at Antioch the average freshman needs only $400 besides his earnings. The Vocational alms of students include agriculture, architec ture, art, business, engineering, medicine, economics, law, etc. The average weekly wage while pursuing these courses is $22 in the freshman year and $35 in the senior year. They complete the Antioch course in five years. Thus the student has already learned the most important thing of all in an education, that is, how to take care of himself. When a man works his way through college he appreciates what education he gets, just as a horse is healthy because he has to walk after every mouthful he eats. Business men in every community ought to cooperate with, the schools in assisting boys and girls to get a practical education. By Arthur Brisbane Labor Saving Machines. Employment for All. Edison a Young Man. 17,000 Years from Stone Age. "If a drop of salt water could talk it would tell the whole story of the Pacific." One Santa Fe freight train going through the Kansas City yards to Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas grain fields told the story of progress and prosperity in this country and pro mised a solution of its labor prob lem, aggravated by immigration re strictions. That train of thirty-one cars car ried $250,000 worth of "Combine Harvesters" and will soon be follow ed by a thousand carloads of those labor-saving machines. They cut grain, thresh it, pile up the straw, delivering the grain in sacks or by spout to miniature grain elevators. In Kansas last year they saved the work of 40,000 men. Employment conditions are not satisfactory in New York State and Governor Smith instructs public of ficials to help "take up the slack" by putting men to work on public enterprises. That should be, automatically, part of National and State pro grams. A farmer finds something for his farm hands and his own hands to do in Winter, when crops are in. A good farmer keeps his horses at work, earning their keep in Winter, hauling wood or otherwise. National and State governments, all needing roads, canals, drainage, all sorts of improvements, should find work for everybody willing to work, and at decent pay. Thomas A. Edison says he is real ly 162 years old, becuse he has done two days' work every day of his 81 years. He did ten thousand years' work when he changed man's lighting system from kerosene to electricity. His habit of working two day in one accounts for the fact that men tally he is forty, not 81. An active mind stays young in man or woman. Women grow old prematurely be cause badly organized civilization gives them nothing to do except talk and dress when their children are grown. Americans talk today of many things prosperity, politics, assortr ed crimes, sports. News that will interest future generations is the fact that actual moving pictures of human beings were sent through the ether, with out wires, across the Atlantic Ocean. Human beings actually saw each other, separated by three thousand miles of water. If that is done by a race onlv 17,000 years from the Stone Ace. who can doubt that a million years hence our race will see pictures, coming through the ether, of life on other planets. 'Flaming youth," dancing, drink ing or shooting worries other coun tries also. Lawyers from Japan, France and Britain are watching a Eerlln murder trial. Hans Krantz, aged nineteen, helped his young friend, Scheller, and Scheller'g sis ter, Hildegard, to pass an evening LEARN pleasantly with dancing, tobacco and much drink, Hildegard, only sixteen, smuggled a friend, Otto Stephen, into htr bedroom, and Hans, attached to Hildegard, told the girl's brother he ought to kill Stephen. He did it then killed him self. The question is, did Krantz com mit murder when he told his friend, "Avenge your sister's honor by kill ing the man"? Eskimos, within reach of civiliza tion, sell their valuable furs to white traders and wear coats of leather and cheap, ready-made suits. ihey can sympathize with some farmers that sell cream and butter to cities and eat oleomargarine. Mr. Bonfils, through his Denver Post, tells the world he wants "ev ery family in the United States to own a home, automobile and radio," because "this would tremendously increase the happiness and prosper ity of all our people." It would have seemed preposter ous in Rome to suggest that any body but the Emperor and a few of the great should own a bathtub. There was serious protest against installing the first bathtub in the White House, on the ground that it was not democratic. The Bonfils trinity of comfort home, automo bile and radio for every family will be realized, plus freedom from worry in old age, more important than the other three.

Telephone 93 JohnSkuzeski GIVE THE HOME FIRM A CHANCE AT YOUR WORK "Second Choice" Provision of State Law Lets Other Candidates in. Written Specially for Heppner Gazette Times By Robert Fuller Through Autocaster Service. Herbert C. Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, who entered the Ohio Presidential primary in opposition tn Senator Frank B. Willis, Ohio's "favorite son," now virtually faces the field in the fight for the conven tion delegates there. The Ohio Primary Election Law requires each candidate for district delegate, or for delegate at large, to state his first and second choices, "provided, however, that the name of no candidate for President shall be used without his written author ity." While the Willis forces claim to have made no effort to guide the second choices, their delegate can didates are sure to name former Governor Frank O. Lowden of Ill inois, Senator Chas. Curtis of Kan sas, Senator James E. Watson of Indiana, and in a few local cases Colonel Charles R. Fisher of Wil mington, Ohio. Although many Willis backers wnntpd Vip Ti-ci dent Dawes as second choice, he refused his consent saying he fa vored Governor Lowden. The majority of the Willis dele gates, particularly in the rural dis tricts, are expected to name Gov ernor Lowden, for therf is consider able sentiment in Ohio for Lowden or Dawes on the farm relief issue. It is the feeling among many Ohio ans that Vice President Dawiiq is ultimately the man to be watched. inaries rt. Jones, secretary to Senator Willis, declares that had not Mr. Hoover entered thn Ohln primary ho would have been the secona cnoice or many of the Willis delegates, but that now none of these will support Mr. Hoover at any time at the Kansas City con vention. The Ohio primary, thus, will prob ably show not only Ohio's prefer ence between Senator Willis and Secretary Hoover but the choice of the state in case either Mr. Willis or Mr. Hoover, or both, should be eliminated from the picture. James R. Oarfiplri. snn nf Proai. dent Garfield and former Secretary of the Interior, has been picked as secona choice by the Hoover fac tion and has written his consent Blue Jaws make a lot of people see red.' A straw vote doesn't always show the sentiment of the farmers. Charity not only begins at home but in most cases ends there, too. Some persons who are now mak ing light of the oil investigation may get scorched before it's over. None of these companionate mar riages can be successful until the exact status of the mother-in-law is revealed. ? The Englishman's record of 207 miles an hour in an automobile will probably stand, but we'll swear some drivers have passed us on a dirt road going faster than that. The office should seek the man, but if a man waited for it to seek him every morning he might have to go hungry. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.
