Do You Know Your Oats?
There are at least a hun
dred varieties of oats under
cultivation throughout the
temperate sections of t h e
earth. There at lenst two or
three wild varieties in the
U. S. alone. Probably all the
known kinds of oats are de
scended from some wild va
riety that originated in Asia.
The grain was carried from
there to other locations until
today it is an important cere
al crop, furnishing valuable
food elements to man and
animal.
In fact, so valuable Is this
grain to the feeding of horses,
that many common expres
sions have been coined to
liken the actions of a lively
poison to a horse that has
been fed a regular diet of
these seeds. One of the most
popular is "he was feeling his
oats.'
And there is a good reason
for this expression. It was
actually discovered that a
horse could do more work if
a part of its food was a daily
feeding of oats. And the horse
liked oats so well that the
farmer always fed the hay
first, and used the oats much
the same as the housewife
saves the dessert for the last,
knowing that if a choice was
to bo made the dessert might
be eaten first, leaving t h e
main course.
Oats, the seed of a valuable
grass, gives strength to the
liorse, but docs not add great
ly to Its weight. Oat-fed horses
perspire less than non-oat-cat-Ing
horses, are more tolerant
to hot weather, and can do
more work.
Giving oats regularly to the
plow horses In the yesteryear
of rural America was just
about equivalent to adding
high octane fuel to today's
motor driven farm tractor.
The farmer himself, guid
ing the learn round and round
the field, watching the rich
loam roll away from the plow
share, also gained strength
and energy from a "feeding
of oats" at his own breakfast.
Oatmeal and rolled oats have
an important part to play In
the dietary habits of human
beings of many races.
The old-time farmer always
ate this cereal, especially dur
ing the colder months of the
year, claiming it was a
"hearty breakfast; one that
would stick to his ribs" dur
ing the long interval between
breakfast and his noon din
ner. Even today we might say
that if you 'know your oats'
you eat your oats.

Chief Warns of
Road Hazards
Ordinary road hazards fac
ed by drivers become "extra
ordinary" In winter because
of three major factors, Chief
of Police Charles P. Champlln,
said Saturday.
These are reduced visibil
ity, inadequate traction and
hidden ice.
To spot danger requires
proper attention on the part
of the driver, and proper use
of vital equipment such as
windshield wipers, headlights,
defroster, and tire chains.
Rubber in windshield wip
er blades should be live not
dead, Champlin added.
Headlights must be up to
par and properly adjusted.
They should be used in day
light when visibility Is re
duced by bad weather, Cham
plin said.
Research has consistently
pointed up that while snow
tires are somewhat better than
regular tires on winter sur
faces, they do not equal or
replace tire chains for severe
conditions.
The chief also warned driv
ers to anticipate ice in shel
tered areas, on bridges under

COLLEGE of LAW
WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY
Host's Dutiei
Defined By Court
One day Mary and her hus
band John were invited by the
Browns to join them in a pic
nic. So Mary and John drove
to the Brown residence and
helped them with last minute
details prior to enjoying an
outdoor picnic together. Mary
had to use the lavatory and
Mrs. Brown said, "Use the one
back here." The lavatory in
dicated by Mrs. Brown was
near the kitchen at the rear of
the house and could only be
reached by going into a utility
room and then into the lava
tory. Off the kitchen, in the
direction of the utility room,
were two doorways, one open
ing to the utility room and the
viaducts on the inside of some
curves and at the foot of some
hills, even when other areas
are bare.
other to the basement stairs.
Mary started for the lavatory,
misakenly opened the door to
the basement, fell down the
stairs and suffered fatal in
juries. John sued the Browns, who,
it developed, were aware that
another person had fallen
down these same stairs pre
viously. THE COURT HELD: Judg
ment for the Browns. The su
preme court of the state to
which the case was appealed,
affirmed the judgment for the
defendant and argued that the
duties owed a social guest in
his home by a host are (1) not
to willfully, wantonly or in
tentionally injure the guest,
(2) not to injure the guest
through active or affirmative
negligent action, and (3) to
warn a guest of any pitfall or
trap from which the guest
could not avoid Injury by rea
sonable care and skill.
The court further held that
general knowledge informs all
reasonable minds that a great
many houses are constructed
so that there are rooms on
different, grade levels; that
these different levels are
reached by stairways which
have doors closing off these
stair areas. Reasonable care
would require a guest upon
opening any door to investi
gate before stepping across
the threshold.

principles. Slight changes of
facts may change the outcome
