The first Washington junior high school football team has an cnviaablo record, having been defeated but onco in the six games played since its or ganization about the middle of Oc tober. In. the six games played, the total points were 190 to 35 in their fa vor. The one game in which thoy were defeated was with the team from the Oregon state school for the deaf, in which they were out-weighed about ten pounds to a man. The Independence high school team gave the boys one of their hardest fights, as the Inde pendence boys out-weighed them, but evon then the score was 19 to 7 in fa vor of the Salem ieam. The Washington junior high team Is strictly a junior high team, and the boys have not played as part of other teams. Albany and McMinnvillo junior high were not played as these teams are mado up partly of high school boys. The rules adopted are similar to those of all the high schools in the state, In which the boys playing on the team American Women Enter Leading Mechanical Trades (United Press Correspondence.) Cleveland, 0., Doc. 18. So many hundreds of women machinists and me chanics have been developed- in this and other American industrial centers since tho European war boomed busi ness and cut off immigration, that the American woman's invasion of the me chanical trades threatens to vio with the invasion of the same field by wom en in Europe. Thousands of women have been em ployed for years on light mechanical tasks in this country, but skilled wom en mechanics manipulating giant steel lathes, punches, drills, trimming presses and other heavy machinery, is believed to be an industrial innovation in America. This at least Is true In Cleveland which, with other cities is riding the ' crest of the prosperity wavo started by huge war orders from the allies. The cause is twofold; there is a labor shortage and women are more efficient in certain mechanical work. Whether women will continue their invasion of lobs formorly filled by men is, many manufacturers Bay, one of the big factors to be reckoned with after the war is over. Such is the belief experBscd by Ed ear E. Adams, superintendent of a Cleveland hardware manufacturing company, one of the largest of its kind in America. He declared today that women mechanics have begun a per manent invasion of men a places in factories. l As women and girls have supplanted men at typewriters, behind departcmnt store counters and in tho textilo and t .M1 ,linv 4nlrA ( Ullllllltf JIIMUBU ll'n, BU TW.l ioiih mon's placos at all machines where dexterity and considerable muscle is needed, Adams believes. At first these women workers will ue recruited most School Girls of State Prepare To Become Scientific Housekeepers "It Is Impossible to tell what lines of work our school boyt will pursue when thoy grow up; but it is pretty safo to predict that most of the girls will become housekeepers," said Superin tendent of Public Instruction J. A. Churchill, in speaking of tho vocation al courses being offered in the high schools. Mr. Churchill continued by saying that 7104 girls are now learning cooking and towing in the public Schools of the state. Of this number, 8840 are in the high schools and 8354 are in the grades. If one may judge by the numbor of students enrolled in the two coursos, cooking is not quite to popular as sewing, there being 3214 girls taking Domestic Science, and 3980 taking Domestic Art. The total value of the equipment for teaching tho former courto, consisting of stovei, cooking utensils, dishes, etc., amounts to 124,916.00, while the equipment for the latter Including tewing machines, tRblot, etc., amounts to 14,950.00. Nearly all of the teachers employed in thoie courses are graduates of the Oregon Agricultural College. Mr. Charrhill states that DomoBtio Science ia being offered in 09 standard high schools and Domestic Art ia 73. r:-H must be members of the school and must also keep up their scholarship. The athletics of the Washington imiior hich school is in charge of D. Brace, who has arrangod a system By which every scholar in the school is eiven physical culture at least once week. Other activities in the school in the way of athletics have been organ ized, aud football is regarded as merely a part of the system. First and second footballs have been organized and in several of the games, the second team was allowed to play. Speed and pass work has been especial ly emphasized 'by Coach Braco, and it was this speed that won the gamo for them at Independence whoro they played against a much heavier team. The following games have been played since the middle of October with the scores . all In favor of the Washington team: Lincoln, S3 to 0; Grant. 37 to 0; Iiidopondonco, 19 to 12; Lincoln, 35 to 0. In tho game with the Mutes, the boys were defeated on a scoro of 19 to 7. ly from those immigrant races, whoso women are accustomed to manual la bor in tho fields. Due to the labor shortage here where 3000 skilled mechanics are needed, and to the decrease in immigration Adams declared he was employing fact as he can find them, women constitutional ly fitted to operate machines; and that other employers were doing tne same. At drilling, punching and trimming presses, Adams' company now employs 160 women. They are running ma chines formerly operated by men and doing better work, Adams Baid. These women, recruited from tho ranks of Polacks, Lithuanians, Slavs and Hungarians, average $1.75 per day for eight hours worn. Some of them are married, their" husbands working in other parts of the shops. Others got married and keep on working. Their average age is about 25. Inspection of the rooms where the women were employed showed good light, heat and ventilation. Foremon were close by to adjust any machine that might get out of order. Comparing conditions surrounding tho women employes at the heavy ma chines, with a hundred stenographers in a nearb" office, Adams said women trades-workers got a groater financial return for their ettorta because, un like the stenographers, they had no bo c i nl Btandnrd to maintain. "Every employer takeB away a part of the wage he pays a stenographer, because he requires her to dress neatly and nroperly,'1 Adams said. "We do not care how our womon machinists dress. However, thoy dress very well as a class, their standard of living is not low, and many of them have ro- "Stenographers do well to keep I clear of the credit man."

Prospects for a peace pact between organized baseball and tho Federals in the next few hours were bright today when the National commission and Federal representatives went into a conference. Withdrawal of the Federal league's anti-trust suit how pending before Fed eral Judge Land is at Chicago, disposi tion of Federal contracts with players, and of the Federal plants caused an un expected hitch in tho negotiations. While there is no fear that these points will prevent ultimate peace, it may re quire all winter to unravel the knot. - At their moeting yesterday, the American aiid National committees delegated the National commission to confer with the Federals and negotiate for peace. The meeting was said to have been not entirely hnrmouious, but it is un derstood that plans for the pact have progressed bo far that the phraseology of the agreement is under discussion. It is believed tho following terms will be among those included in the peace plan: Seventy-two players who have con tracts with tho Federals will be taken over by organized baseball. There will be only one club in Brook lyn. George S. Ward will be paid for the use of Washington park for 20 years. , Chicago Nationals and Federals to be consolidated, Joe Tinker managing.

Electrically Heated Underwear For German Soldiers In Trenches By Cart W. Ackerman. Berlin, Nov. 23 (By main Ger many's latest scientific contribution to war is electrically heated underwear. The inventors are Max Beck, professor of technical electricity, University of lussbruck, and lieutenant of engmoers; and Frofessor Von Schrotter of tho University of Vienna. The electrically neatcd underwear is made of non-conducting material interwoven with a sys tern of fine wires. For each series of trenches it is necessary to install an electrical plant, from which conducting wires are carried. When a Boldinr fools cold, nU he has to do is connect up his underwear with the current wires.

To find a man broad enough to lay aside personal prejudice and vote for measures that are beneficial to tho masses is the wish of the voters of Marion county. In looking over tho field for a repre sentative from the southeast portion of Marion county, it is found that a I farmers, and voters from every part of this section are in favor of plucing the name of Mr. Geo.

One may be forgiven in the case of the actor for dwelling on his physical traits, for they are a considerable source of tho impression ho croates. In the case of Forbes Robertson they are profoundly Important. His presence brings with it distinction and refine ment. It suggOBls a wonu oi ciuvai rous passion and romantic ideals. The face is at onco sereno and sensitive, even crave with that slight Inequality tho brow hlllli and significant; tho oyes grave with that slight inequality of focus winch suggests tho dreamer; the noso bold and shapely: the Hps dolicnto and closely pressed and t.io chin firm.
