MEMBER Paying College Athletes TMIE action of the Southeastern Football Conference is a step in the right direction. At the meeting yesterday an amend ment was adopted declaring athletic ability should receive con sideration in determining student values and financial aid, but that under no circumstances should such aid, exceed the legiti mate expenses of attending an institution, as represented by tuition, fees, books, board and lodging. Such action is commendable because it is above board and honest. It merely officially recognizes what has been done, is being done, and will continue to be done, as long as athletics occupy the important place they do in intercollegiate activities. We would suggest one more amendment, namely that under no circumstances should any athletio scholarship be awarded to a student, who had not qualified mentally as good college material. In other words athletic ability should receive consideration, but not undue consideration. ALL applicants for admission should first have to qualify mentally and scholastically. . Then those thus qualified who in addition had outstanding athletic ability should be given the preference, when the awarding of financial assistance came to be considered. This would place the entire matter of subsidized athletics, on a Bound and proper basis. Mental development is the most important factor in college education, but it is not everything. The Greeks had a word for it, a sound mind in a sound body. Physical development is important also, mental without '.he physical is as great handicap toward achieving success in life, as physical without the mental. By such an amendment, athletic ability would receive con sideration in determining student values, but would do away with the present practice of admitting students, of inferior mental capacity, to spend three or four years playing football, having a good time, and doing nothing else. College Fee Problem ANOTHER matter involving college education is coming be fore the voters of Oregon at the January election. This is the referendum on the student activity' fees. The question to be decided is this: Should the state board of education be authorized to levy nd collect fees from the students, to be used for certain extra curricular activities. The nub of this question is whether or not, extra curncular activities are desirable. If they are then they must be financed, and the board of education is the proper body to attend to the financing. If they are not then continuing them is waste of money and time, such fees should be eliminated, and any organized system of extra curricular activities abandoned. WHAT are these extra curricular activities! VTell here are some of them I Music; the glee clubs, the band, college orchestra, and extra concerts given by outsiders for the benefit of the students. The college paper; not only giving the students the news, but providing experience in all departments of newspaper work. Shidnnt. trnvernment : nractical trainine in parliamentary procedure, publio speaking, and political leadership. Athletics for both men and women ; Lyceum lectures, given by recognized authorities in various branches of human activities; oratoricnl training, and many other activities too numerous to mention. Should such activities in our state institutions of higner learning be continued or abandoned. UNDOUBTEDLY they should be coutiuued. Just as all wovk and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so all study and no recreation; concentration upon books, and no application of what one learns in books, makes a poor student, or more accur ately perhaps, a student who is not as well prepared for life when ho graduates as an educated person should be. If such activities should be continued then the board of higher education should be given the authority to provide for the necessary financing; and as the benefits are open to all students, the financial obligation should be borne by them all. aTOREOVER universal participation, reduces the cost per " student to such a low figure, that maximum benefits are obtainable at the minimum expense, to the individual. But the main point, is the value of extra curricular activities in our system of higher education, a value in our judgment which is far greater than generally recognized. The fee system should be retained, the state board of higher education should have charge of it, and extra curricular activi ties should be placed once and for all upon a permanent and self sustaining basis. Comment on the Day's News Hy FRANK JKSKINS HERE 1 something Interesting tn the world: British and French DIPLOMATS get together and decide that It I. to the best Interest, of Britain and France, AS NATIONS, to cut Uttl, Ethiopia', throat and throw her to the dog.

That I, TREMKNDOl'BLY SlONIFI CANT. UNDER the code of International relationship, which la known as diplomacy, NATIONS regard them selves and conduct themselves as bru tal, primeval savages, acknowledging no law save that of tooth and claw, no motive, save thos. of cold and utter selfishness and no restraints save those of force. This attitude of natlona toward other natlona has been sanctioned by long seceptance. That la to say, It la what Is EXPECTED. INDIVIDUALS, In civilised countries, have long ago been governed by a different code. Right and Justice, a, opposed to what may be obtained by BRUTE FORCE, have long been recognised by Individuals and enforced by laws of Individual countries, as well as com pelled by enlightened public opinion Among Indtvtdusls. you see. It Isn't Just what may be SEIZED AND HELD that counts, but what one la EN TITLED TO.

DO YOt'R STINT OF HAR Where the efficiency of tha heart la reduced for any reason, or where the reserve power Is low, one of the most familiar m a n 1- festatlons la la bored breathing on exertion. I advise every mature adult who reads this and Is not actu ally crippled or under medical care, to test the efficiency or re serve power of the heart by try ing to run half a mile. Take your own gait. If you can"t keep a-run-nlng for that distance there's some thing wrong with you, and you had better have medical advice at once. Any normal adult under sixty should be able to run a mile without get ting "winded". If you find you have to alow down to a walk before you are past the half way poet, or any where along the home stretch; don't take it too badly, for there are liter ally millions of ginks, well, hundred thousands anyway, who are suffering with the same trouble as yours, namely, auboxldatlon. Maybe you need a regular dally stint of hard breathing. Not deep breathing exercise. That's silly busi ness and never gets you anywhere. I mean natural hard breathing. What I'm trying to do Is sugar coat the pill. There la only one way you can do natural hard breathing, and that Is by exercising vigorously enough to Induce hard breathing. Incidentally, let It be belly breathing, and forget you have a chest. It doesn't matter much what form of exercise you do. It la fine If It happens to be useful work of any kind which you can enjoy doing. But otherwise It may be walking, run ning, Bk nt lng, dancrng, playing a game, climbing a hill or climbing stairs, gymnasium class drill, bicycle riding, or any caiisthenic exercises you like. By conscious deep breathing you can for a minute or two Inhale a larger amount of air, oxygen, and Indeed overfill your blood with oxy cepted international code of might makes right and to hell with the little fellow, get together and agree to throw little Ethiopia to the lions so that Mussolini may be mollified and a general European war avoided at a time when Britain and France DON'T WANT A NEW WAR, but Instead want to remain In peaceful enjoyment of the loot they bave gained In post wars. But the conscience of ordinary, av erage Englishmen, accustomed to ac ceptance of their private affairs of the humane and enlightened doctrine that JUSTICE makes right, rebel at the cold-blooded, selfish and heartless decision of tha diplomats, and this rebellion, arising in the form of an outraged public opinion, compels re vision of the plan to sacrifice Ethio pia on the national altars of France and Britain. THAT is why what happened in England the other day is signifi cant. It may foreshadow the dawn ing of a new and brighter end more honorable day In the relationships of nations with each other. If that day ever DOES DAWN, it may be possible to outlaw war from the world. Byt not until then. The largest city In Afghanistan. Kandahar, contains 1,000 shops and 183 mosques.

But the Inevitable consequence Is a simitar period of slower and moro shallow breathing, so that In the end you are right where you were when you started. But natural deep breathing which Is automatic and most efficient tf your mind Is on something else than your breathing, la not followed by such a period of shallow or slow breathing. Moreover the cause of the natural deep breathing, exercise, also causea the blood to utilize the In creased oxygen Intake, and that means Increased oxidation, Increased metabolism, and so you gain some thing by the regular exercise period dally. You burn up and readily elim inate or dispose of waste matter which might otherwise give rise to symptoms which you may vaguely ascribe to autointoxication. Besides It gives your heart Increased efficien cy and greater reserve power to serve In an emergency.

Mclntyre NEW YORK. Dec. 14. This will not be a run of mine effort today but the parade of a personal sorrow. Nothing is In my thought but the loss of my dog Billy. Every part of the house throbs with the aching emptiness of his going. It's sunny ou t s 1 d e but shades are drawn on our hearts. Readers of this column know of Billy for I have written of him foolishly, extrav agantly and fondly during the 13 of the 14 years he has gladdened our home and our lives. . We saw him first expressing what we later called his "sad look" In a 5th avenue dog shop. Our hearts had been torn by the loss of another Boston named Junior so we haunted the dog shops. Billy seemed the answer to our quest. No other dog appealed after we saw him and so he became the Joyous Integral of our lives. After we had given him our affections we discovered he was congenitally deaf. And all his years he seemed trying to make up for & deficiency he could not help. Never until his few .ast days did he lose his zest for frolic. Always he acted the part of the pup py. People who knew dogs guessed his age never more than three. Around the kennels they will tell you the comparative age of the dog with a human Is reached by multi plying his actual years by seven. Thus Billy was a grand old gentle man of 08. He was the prince of aristocrats and could not be won by a few pats or ear scratches. He had to see a person many times, to play and walk with him before he lost reserve but when he gave friendship It was never withdrawn. One felt flattered to be on his favored list. Despite his frlskiness he had his moments of arrlere pensee. Because he waa deaf we often came upon him in a Bquat of questioning dejection In the corner of a room facing the walls as though wondering why he could not hear voices of those he loved 1 Yet the moment he felt the vibration of footsteps he whirled, snapped out of his dolor and charged toward the window sill where his bsll was kept. Every morning he Jumped 100 times for that ball, a quivering bundle of ecstatic growls and yips. Three days before ' his passing he Jumped for the last time, perhaps a dozen Jumps. He had not lost his ardor but we feared any more would be a strain. Billy was widely traveled. Far more than the average dog because he could not be left wtth strangers. With that marvelous canine Instinct, he sensed the prospect of Journeys before there were material manifesta tions. He was alert to every move, watching, waiting, trembling.

But once in transit he was never troubled. He visited Europe eight times. California more than a dozen and had friends In both places be was always happy to see and who seemed glad to see him. Environment made him a pro nounced city dog. He enjoyed noth ing more than a drive along Broad way when the lights were on, his paws on the arm rest, nose to the pane watching with unutterable fas cination the swirl and zig-zag of lights. This evening I passed Madison Square around which he loved to walk. The crowing cop stuck his head in the wl nd ow . " Wh ere 's the other pup?" he asked. He saw our eyes mist and knew. "I'm sorry" he murmured and I think he was. Six months ago we were awakened at dawn as Billy leaped from the bed with an almost human scream, spun about and fell exhausted. We thought It a nightmare but he was edging the shadows. Slowly but with valor and fortitude he began to droop. He became nearer than ever and our de votion cut us off entirely from the atres, cafes, travel end friends. We never left him alone an hour. Two days before the end he tried futilely to rise. Not once did he whimper. As the sun was sinking, he gave a soft little sigh, his beautiful brown eyes glazed, a slight twitch and he was gone, snuggled in the arms of the one he loved best. Gone, my faith convinces me. to something better. But man Is selfish. Billy is not the only dog to wrench my heart and I have listened to all the well lntentloned persuasions to cushion the Jolt of his departure. But I want him back, more than almost any thing for which I have ever longed I want him. Brave, loyal Billyl One of Florida's newest industries, the ginning of Spanish moss.
