AMELIA EARHART, Who danced
In London the other day with
the Prince of Walea, la decorated In
Prance with the Chevaller'a" croaa ol
the Legion of Honor.
POOR Banlalaua Hausner DIDN'T.
His bones are with the fishes
along with those of all the others
who tried I and failed.
AMELIA la still on the front page.
Llndy baa never been off. We
can even remember, faintly, the
name of Clarence Chamberlln.
Who of the readers of this news
paper can recall the names of those
who tried boldly to fly the atormy
Atlantic, but failed?
Moral: If you want to be remem
bered in this world, BE A BUCCES8.
IT TAKES courage to atart across
the wild waters of the Atlantic In
a frail plane, knowing that even
a slight mechanical failure will be
the end of you.
But courage Is not a modern ln
atl'utlon. It has ALWAYS existed.
Alwaya men have conquered their
feara and braved the unknown,
hoping to win glory.
fHERE waa Hanno. the Phoenician.
and his hardy crew, who, away
back In the early dawn of history,
sailed around Africa in an open boat,
which was the only kind of boat they
had In those days.
Tha compass hadn't even been In
vented." Hanno and his crew coasted
from point to point. If they had
been whirled out to sea and whirled
round often enough to confuse
them, they would have been hope
leasly loat.
AND DON'T overlook this:
In addition to the dangera
of wind and sea, Hanno and his
followers faced the PAR MORE TER
RIFYING perils conjured up In their
minds by superstition and Ignorance,,
It waa supposed then, you know,
that the world waa flat, and sailors
believed that at the edge of this flat
world the waters of the sea poured
over in an awful cataract, whose
waters vanished Into space.
A ship caught In that cataract,
they supposed, would be whirled oti
Into empty nothingness.
BUT, in the face of these frightful
terrors conjured up by their su
perstitious minds, without the slight
est knowledge sa to where they were
going, knowing only that they were
on their way. driven by that same
restless urge that has driven men
since the beginning of time, they
WENT AHEAD. .
-i t. u man's hlnnd. VOU See. to
dare the unknown, gambling their
lives agalnat whatever dangers may
be encountered. So don't speak
slightingly of poor stanlslaua Haua
ner, and the pitiful and yet glorious
others who preceded him, whose
bones are at the bottom of the sea.
but whose spirits are with the spirits
of all that bold and hardy crew
thatWnoe the beginning of time
has not hesitated to gamble with
death in order that glory might be
won.
GETTING back to Hanno, he and
his men came back safely, and
what a tale they had with which to
pop open the eyes of their home
atavina neighbors.
Thev told, among other things, of
a race of vast hairy men who beat
upon their chest and roared threat
MiMid he heard for miles.
Thev were speaking, of course, ol
nriiiaa. and as a matter of fact
they brought back skins of these
nimata. They were drawing tne
long bow a bit. a travelers will.
when they told of the doings of
these great hairy men.

STILL, who are we to criticise?
In this supposedly enlightened
day, when men's minds ought to be
vastly better than the minds of men
In Hanno'a day, people still believe
wild tales about gorlllss Including,
for example, the fantastic and wlerd
tale that they carry off human
women Into the Jungle and mate
with them.
Ignorance and credulity are still
a long way from dead.

Defending the educational program

sons of the social science department

Although he refrained from launch
ing an attack upon the recent pro

tem to create a state university at
Corvallls, a normal school at Eugene,
and Junior colleges of the existing
normal schools, he quoted the state
board of higher education In pointing
out that such a drastic program
would be far from economical.
"According to the best reckoning
of the board, he stated, "no saving
would result from adoption of the I
proposed referendum. The board has
recommended that the referendum
not be supported."
The program outlined by the board ;

pointed out eliminates all duplica

source of competition between the

State college, leading to political dis

A saving of one million dollars a
year has been accomplished by the
Btate Board of Higher education In
the unification program. Moving the
University students to the Oregon

great expense In the Initial process,
Dean Parsons explained, as well as
necessitate the abandonment of prop

Figures released by the chambers

"the Macpheraon scheme to move the
