' Why Did the Announcement, from Halern that the presidents of the Southern Or egon normal school and the .Mon mouth normal school are prepar ing to ask the legislature for ap propriations for new hulldlriKH fr their respective institutions brings into ralher sharp contrast the case ttX the I'nlversily of Oregon which, with needs more pressing than those of any other of the state in stitutions of higher education, is forbidden hy Hh own hoard of re gents to ask for anything what ever. .lust why the University's hoard of regents allowed itself to bo ma neuvered Into a post Ion so ano malous is hard to understand. The ipiestion as ttt why the State College regents wero invited to help decide what the University should do is equally a pose. The University, because of the very great and continuing increases In its attendance, was facing a situ ation amounting almost to a cri sis. The College, enjoying t no lion's share of the mlllagn and with federal aid funds not avail able to the University in propor tion to attendance, had no very pressing needs and so agreed to ask the -legislature for nothing if the University, which did have press! tig needs, also would ask for nothing.

DEATH TttPS W.XSIIIXCiTO.V, I0r-.. Dec. 11. , The campaign for the elimination of gr:ide erossins death trap has hei-n given u decided impetus thru ih ih-eiwitm of the interstate com im iee rnm mission recommending thul railroads concentrate their at tention and retiources on doing 'away with dangerous grades in ! te.td of spending further money on the iutulhitiou of train control devices. The national automobile associ miun points oui that there wero ll.4r, people killed and 32.098 in jured in gradfr crossing nc cideniH in the period of thru IIIL'7. During the same time there were Xhfi people killed and . 8971 injured in derailments, on the rail roads, while iiVU were killed and Ml 7 injured in rail collisions. This menus that more than seven times hh inuny people were killed at grade crossings than on railroads and nearly twice uh many were In jured in the .five year "period. The A. A. A. declares that altho ihe. carriers spent over $'J2, HOD, (100 .between 1!0 and 1926 to ellmin ' ate :n;M grade crossings, tho seri jous aspect of the situation is shown hy the fact that casualties at high ! way crossings have, increased more ; 1 1 in ii 31' per cent in the present I decade. In the last seven years, the num ber of automobiles lias increased .more than 1 Jo per cent. At the , same time, the mileage of im proved highway; has only gained slightly over-34 per cent. ,The re sult has been ever-increasing eon- genii on on the highways and a i growing problem at grade cross ings, where in many instances the heavy t raffle occupies- the full at i tendon of the car owner. LITTLE SPARK PLUG Mow the spark plug, practically unknown when the century opened has in little more than two decades become practically a universal factor In modern life, formed the theme of an address by H." A. Stranahan, president of the Cham pion Spark I'lug company, at a dinner at Toledo of the entire sales force of tho company In the Unit ed Slates and Canada. "The spark plug." Mr. Stranahan said,,- "has kept pace with the sweeping chunges. that have been made in gasoline engine design since its first application. The Champion spark plug of today is a far cry from the spark plug of even a few yenrs ngo. due to the rapid' changis and radically differ ent engine euiiHiructhm of modern high -speed, high eonipresion en- gine. The old type of plug would j function hut a very short time in ' the engine of Huh era. a.nd con- ; versely it is only through the per- ! slstent Champion policy of keeping always in advance of engineering ; practice that many of the present j day features of motor cars are, possible. High compression en gines would he impracticable With out spark plugs adapted to cope with their greatly increased , Htrasses and temperatures." Referring to the spark plug in-) dustry. .Mr. Stranuhan said; "In its' short existence it has developed from practically nothing until now , the Champion Spark I'lug com- j pany alone has a n investment of , more than ten million dollars in : the 'fitted Slates, 1 hree quarters ! of a million in Canada find half a f million in London and 1'aris. Its product represents au annual turn over of S'.OOO.UU'J In the retail ; trade, and a survey of the com- j pany nhows that It Ih by far the i mo si valuable article accessory , deale.r.4 handle with the greatest ; .sale and profit of any comnfculltyj In their stock." Jle cited department of com-! merce reports to bhow that Cham pion produces two-thirds of the world's output of spark plugs. j Roses are not bent pruned in the fall or early winter, if the I rose hush Ih spread out and in 1 tho way, sornu of the surplus wood may he cut out.

BERLIN 'PHTpii years of re publican government in f lermany have failed to quench the hidden fires of monarchy. Coinciding wit it the decennary celebration of t tit- Reich as a re public, there was n stormy scene in the Bi ealau municipal council over labor motions to remove stat ues of Krederiek the (Jreat nnd Frederick William I1U, and to re name llohenzollern street, Kaiser Wilhelm street and other thor oughfares, substituting the names of Karl Marx. Karl Liebknecht, Rosa Lflxemhurg nnd other revo lutionary leaders. The motions were carried after violent alterca tions, hut by a narrow majority of 40 to 3K; Another row happened almost si multaneously at Nimpthch, Silesia, where a dinner to .celebrate the opening of a public building por trait pictures of the three German emperors, William I, Frederick' HI ami tho former kaiser William li hanging on the walls, were found to be covered over. Monarchists among the party demanded the re wordy fight developed on the qu's-; tion whether or noykhe ex-kabwr'e T picture should beMaken away. Finally the party broke up in. dis order, and only a few remained to finish the dinner. A third coincidence was a -libel action brought by Herr von Oldenburg-Januschau, a former chum berluln to the ex-kaioer's court and u noted die hard monarchist, against Herbert Eulenbertt well known author, who In his recent book. "The Hoheneollerns," recall ed tl story how in 1110 "nil' East Prussian boor, (meaning Herr Oldenburg) had told the kaiser that his majisty could easily shut that old babbling shop (the Reich stag) with a lieutenant ami ten tneji," a sentiment with which the kaiser completely concurred.- .
