Important action for American attn
sl le who expect to participate in the
&Olympian games has been taken by
the Olympic Council.
The council, In announcing that
each competition shall be confined to
amateurs, gives the following dcfini-
tor ton of amateur; An amateur is one
who has never competed for a money
prize or monetary con sideration or for
any declared wager or staked bet; who
mas never engaged in, assisted in or
taught any athletic exercise as a
means of pecuniary gain and who has
never taken part in any competition
with any one who is not an amateur.
This. while, not the exact wording, is
practically the same as the definition
of an amateur in America
What is probably the greatest con-
ceSsion. outside of the changing of the
athletic rules of the Amateur Athletic
Association of Great Britain, for the
games is statement by the British
Council to the effect that tho direc-
ton of running will be left hand In
side. This means that all tile run
ming competitions will be held in the
hame manner as the races In the
United States. and hence the American
= team will not have to get used to rum
ming with the right hand along the
inside border of the track. When the
Lear lean OF 1925 ,i got to Athens; the men
ming would be exactly opposite to the
style to which they had become ac-
scustomed, and they were not quite at
home under the new styles

Oregon Apples.

Oregon Newtown apples are
bringing IS shillings box in
the London market. The best
California Newtowns bring only
10 shillings a box. That is a
wide margin in favor of Oregon.
But there is a wider one in the
case of the Maine apples. The
best of them bring but IS shill-
ines a barrel, or one third as
much as the Oregon product.
Here is food for reflection in
Oregon. 1t is also food fog con-
gratulations. Nearly twice as
much tor Oregon as for Cali
fornia apples, and full three times
as much as the best Maine apples
means that Oregon apples are
king. They are the best, and SC
much the BIT st that those able to
pay fancy prices are determined
10 have them. They are sought
for the tables of the rich. They
are demanded in the homes oi
luxury, where prices are minor
consideration. They are lord oi
the markets, and of the best mar
kets in the wide world. Their

reputation is established and all
there is to do Is to grow the ap-
ples and teed these clamoring
markets. The market for apples
has been found, and the spot OF
the plan where the best of them
can be produced has been located,
declares the Journal, edltorlally.
1t is Oregon, and her selling place
is to the rich people of the whole
world. It is a circumstance to
give pause to the owner of Oregon
land. Is it an opp ortunity to be
allowed to pass unseized? His
revenue from grain growing is
$40 an acre; from apple growing
hundreds an acre. 1t is worth
for grain production, $50 to $40
per acre; once set to apples it is
in demand at several hundred.
Wouldn't he better grow the ap'
pies and let the man who cannot
grow them raise at least some o
the grain?

Whether. then, one be a pagan

credits the founder of his school

Seeing the foolishness, the fu-

For Feeble-Minded in Oregon
Contract Let.
The feeble-miuded of Oregon
are to be provided with home.
The State Board of Building Com
missiouers this afternoon awarded
the contract for the construction
of the administration building,
brick dormitory and laundry aud

installing a steam-heating plant
to T. NJ. Barr fer $40, 245, and
the plumbing to Bernardo &
Dunsfo1d, also of this city, for
$48o5.
Seven bids for the buildings
were submitted, all from contrac-
tors of Salem, with the exception
of one, Which was from Wilson
& Flvnn, of Portland, who Offer
ed to construct the laundry and
boiler-house for $1b4S and $Io5o
respectively. These gentlemen,
however, failed to enclose a certi-
fed check, as required, and as
their bids were fat below any of
the others, the neA lowest being
over s., 900 it was considered that
some mistake must have been
made. There is only Sol, ,o5S
available Of the a appropriation for
the construction Of the buildings
and in order to come within the
limit of the fund it was decided
to leave out the item for a horse

A BLACK EYE.
The Proper Way to Treat This Un-
slightly Disagreement.

A black eye is simply a bruise, a
black and blue spot, of the eyehds
and the parts underneath the orbit.
All these tissues being very loose
and spongelike in texture, the blood
which escapes beneath the skin IN
all cases of bruising and constitutes
the black and. 2blue mark spreads
very widely and causes great dlshg-
urement.
Sometimes, if the injury has been,
severe, there will be an escape OF
blood beneath the membrane cover
ing the eyeball, but the eyebal
itself usually escapes serious dam
age, owing to its elasticity and to
the efficient protection afforded by
the bony ring forming the edges OF
the orbit.
| A short time after the injury has
been received swelling of the part
| sets in, the skin is Redeemed and
hot, and there is feeling OF ten
sion, if not more OF less actual PAIN,
This is the time to treat the bruise
in order to prevent as far as posi-
BILE the formation of the s'black
eye"
/ If nothing is done, the discolora-
l ton soon appears, first of dark
; reddish purple color and then al
most black. Later it fades off with
4 play of colors, green, blue and vel,
! low, until gradually all traces Of the
accident disappear.
I, The first thing to do, and that a:
ii soon as possible, is to apply cooling
+; lotions to the part. A good way tt
:. do this is to keep two small handker
) chiefs, in bowl of ice water ant
e apply them alternately, squeezed Or.
l. and folded four ply. AS soon as on
+ handkerchief grows warm it shoul'
be replaced by the other.
By the end of the first day tn
- cold applications will have done a
!, 81 the good they can, and then hand

ter, in which borax or boric acid .ha
been dissolved, should be apple

HUNTED DEER SUNDAY
In Defiance of Law-Pitiable Sight
Witnessed by Corvallis Men.

There are people in this world
who seem to be totally lacking
not only respect for law, but to
have absolutely no sense of mercy
or humanity.
Such a person was abroad last
Sunday and with gun and dogs
chased deer in defiance of law
and order, and not only that, the
deer was a poor old doe which
came bounding over the plowed
field of a farm north of town, one
fore leg shattered and broken by
shot from the gun of the mer-
ciless hunter. The animal wa:
poor and unfit for use; it is the
closed season for deer and does
are protected by law at all times,
all Of which makes the inciden,
of more than passing importance.
Common decency, if nothing
more, should have stayed the arm
of any sportsman when such ar
animal appeared, but some peo
pie appear to lack this element.
The party referred to was seer
and recognized by two men, ane
the dogs were also recognized

NOT TO BE RESTRICTED.

Senator PenroSe OF FennSyIVa-
MIA, has introduced bill which,
should it become a law, would
make the Postmaster General
censor of the press of the whole
country. 1t would empower the
Postofice Department to ex-
clude any issue of any periodical
from second-class mail privile-
ges," when, in the judgment OF
the Postmaster General such is
sue should not be distributed
through the mails.
The law as it now stands, ex-
cludes obscene, vicious and i'm
moral matter of whatsoever class
and provides for the apprehen-
sion, Indictment, public trial and,
upon conviction, the severe pun
ishment of. those who use the
mails for the distribution of such
matter. There is no censorship,
for the law specifies what shall
be excluded. There are no Star
Chamber proceedings, for trials
must be publicly conducted.
/ 1t is true the present law does
not exclude certain ultra-radical
and pernicious publications,
though it is probablei that the
mass of the American people wish
such periodicals .were denied the
; use of the mails. But since these
) are devoted to the dissemination
of social and political theories,
even though radically wrong anc
destructive they have been ac-
: corded the privileges of the mail:

' to restrict the freedom of thu
f press.
S We will not consent that th'
t press of the whole country shall
h be placed under censorship, espe
: cially when it easily might resul
n in muzzling it, and preventing
t it's full, free discussion of all pub
lie questions and its fearless crit
e icism of parties and the conduc
v of public officials.
r Our determination to preserv
: a free press and free speech ha
Il caused us to condone much ur
e seemly abuse of these rights
IS But the American people justl
It regard these rights as the Palls

It may impair and ultimately dt
