Them and Championship By It C. Hamilton (United Press staff correspondent) New York, April 22. There should bo no undue alarm over the spurt of speed the Giants have unsuspectingly turned loose on the wild baseball tans. It was to be expected, all things e'.u-sidc-.cd, in the light of the way the first stanza of the 1918 National lea gue schedule was set up. Sc. far the Giant live met the i'rcoklyn Dodgers and the Boston Braves. The Hiaves still are guests in Gotham and will continue their s-ri; a ' the community ou account of this being today. The two teams wmcn nave uai tled the champions cf the Tener 'ei gue probably will stage a long fijrht to see which of them lan Is as high as siventh-six'h at the best. Therefore, it isn't extraordinary that a team of champions has run over them without The proposition cf a school year of 4.3 weelo, beginning next fall will soon! come up for consideration before the ba-j lem board of directors. Endorsed by the members of the jiresiuent ' cabinet una lie commissioner of education, the -48 weeks school year wall receive serious consideration this summer throughout the country, although of course, nothing will be done to extend the present school year into the coming summer mouths. Barley O. 'White, chairman of the school board thought the 48 weeks plan might work out iu the cities, but hard ly adapted to towns like Salem, espec ially where tho boys are needed for farm work and the early fruit seasons. Director E. T. Barnes could seo no special advantage for the 48 weeks term especially as the summer vacation iu this valley seems to meet the needs -f ;t Catarrh Ycu Avoid Its Dangerous Cta0. f There ir, a rnoie serious stce cfj Catarrh than the annoyance cause 1 ty tbe stopped-up air passages, r.nd the hawking and spitting and other distasteful features.

And this isn't the sad part or me. tale for tho rest of the league not farm8 a fruit country where help is needed even until late iu the fall, The system might be all right, but not adapted to thu Willamette valley. Director 11. ii. dark is opposed to any 48 weeks term. He thought the pre sent a very inopportune time to intro duce the system, especially when so many men are Uitcn away lioiu the Power to take a hill, and power to pass the other fellow are still claimed by many car makers; but here's a car that puts such expressions into the dark ages of automobihng. It is the current Chalmers, equipped with the famous i "Hot-Spot" and "Ram's-Horn" Manifold, which wrings from j gas more power than was ever taken out of gas before. 1 But not merely brutal power (for that it has), but a j newer kind, a softness of power that is as thrilling to bear i witness to as the technique of a great musician. Accomplished how? By those two great devices: a Hot Spot", which fairly cooks the gas, then "cracks it up fine as a powder", and the "Ram's-Horn" Manifold which "sets it : down" in the combustion chambers with celerity and with out disturbance. , . . So that when the spark touches it off, it gives nothing but power; soft, harnessed, controlled power that you will never forget once you have had its feel.

This does not take into account the motorcycles necessary for training purposes at tho various can tonments iu this country. Possibly 1,5 000 would be a fair estimate of the rno- 'toreycles which will be required for the cantonments when the machines needed for the use of officers and orderlies is added to the actual training machines. Ono renson for tho large number of motorcycles iu uso by the warring na tions of Europe, in fact the main reason is the remarkable economy of operation of the motorcycle. Iu tho hands of a trained man a motorcycle will average 00 to 70 miles per .gallon of gasoline. No wonder the tillies early in this war saw tho great possibilities of tho motor cycle toward conservation! of that all iinportaut commodity, gasoline. Possibly the use of the motorcycle by the dispatch rider is the largest use to which the motorcycle has been put in the war. Next to this the motor machine gun corps probably are using the most I motorcycles, rext in order is the use I of tho motorcycle in the signal corps, where its use is increasing every day. I Uu the western front largo numbers of motorcycle ambulances are now in ;Use. Most of these are designed to car ry a single stretcher, which is mounted i between the motorcycle and the side- i car wheel. Home of the latest motorcycle a.nbulatiees, however, are built iu a 'doubly dock style, which permits the (carrviug of two. j The motorcycle and sidecar offers 'some very distinctive features for nu ambulance, for this combination can pick its way over almost any kind of ; road, or, if necessary, it can travel across country where not even a trail I exists. It can dodge shell craters, and, lowing to the light weight of tho motor cycle and sidecar (about 500 pounds) it can traverse the muddiest roads, where heavier vehicles would bo hope 'lessly mired. i bv anv moans When tho (limits get through with the Braves they are go ing to Brooklyn, wbero they again will take the Dodgers cn.

Director Walter wmslow hadn't heard anything about it and was not willing to express an opinion after the system had been explained to him. Superintendent John H. Todd said the system had been tried out in the east sevoral years ago when the public was not quite ready for tho change. Bluff ton, Indiana, has been holding a 48 weeks a year session for the past six years and found it satisfactory. Mr. Todd thought in time the people would sec the advantage of aa almost contin uous school year as It would work to the advantage of all and would also be of value working towards the general efficiency of the school system. Prin cipal J. C. Xelson of the high school was also in favor of the proposed school year, believing it would eventually work cut for the best. However, the consensus of opinion of tho board of education was that it was not adapted to the needs of this com munity, although it might, do for others, Moro Odd Fellows will burn the mort-: gage on their building, on April 27r at which time their lodge will be host to all other Sherman county lodges of the. order.
