Plan to Stop Theft Of stamps.

Chicago, April 20-The operations
of youthful postage stamp tibet in
Chicago, small as they we're, brought
about change in the federal regula-
tions Cover ming the use of stamps.
Incidentally the boy who was in
strumentsl indirectly In bringing
about this change In the law has re-
formed. Who be is will probably
never be made public, as a machine
manufacturer In whose employ he was
is guarding his identity carefully.
1t was some months ago that the 'un-
named boy was discovered selling
stamps to down town eonfectioner.
Investigation disclosed that the man
was carrying on a brokerage business
In stamps which we're stolen by office
boys and messengers.
Secret service men discovered there
was no way OF stopping the business
or prosecuting "the broker" The
oonteotioner declared he purchased
the stamps at discount and he had
no reason to believe he was receiving
stolen goods. The attention OF Post
master General Meyer was called to
the case with the result that a plan
tor the Identification of stamps used
by business houses was decided on.
The plan consists OF perforating the
initials of the purchaser in the
stamps. By this means, it is believ-
ed, the theft and sale of stamps by
employees will be stopped.

The National Guard.

Portland, Ore. April 20.-With the
passage by the senate short time ago
OF the army bill, the way is paved foi
the establishment in Oregon of a
number OF new military companies.
ln order to bring the fourth Oregon
regiment up to regular army basis,
as required by the war department, it
will be necessary to recurit five addi-
tional companies.
Applications from almost every
thriving city in the state are being
received at Portland by Adjutant
General Finer. The task of picking
out the new stations is yet to be taken
up by the Oregon military board.
The desirability and advantage Of
being the station Of a military com.
pany of the national guard service
should appeal to every enterpr ising
community. Remarkable changes
have occurred in the past few years
in the national guard service so that
1t is no longer strike breaking ex-
pedient but part Of the first line de-
Tense OF the nation. Companies are
already located at such points as Eu-
gene, Rosebur9, Ashland, Cottage
Grove, McMinnville, Woodburn, Ore
gon City. The Dalles, Baker City and
Pendleton, While strong applications
for one of the new companies have
been rendered ty such points as AS
toria, Seaside, Candy, Silverton, Med
ford, Grants Pass, Forest Grove, New
berg and Klamath Falls. Other appli-
cations are being received weekly.
The purpose OF the military boar is
to distribute those companies to the
best possible advantage among the
better types OF citizens of the state.
The problem that is just now occu-
pying the attention OF the national
guardsmen, Of whom there are some
l40O, is that of suitable aImories.
The national government supplies
arms and equipment, ammunition,
shooting galleries and ranges, land the
war department has suggested that the
various states should at least provide
aTmories for housing the
troops and storing equipments. Port
land, Of course. has an adequate ar.
moiy, provided and paid for by Multi
nomah county. The last legislature
500, 900 to be paid out
at the rate OF s25, 600 a year for the
of armories in the small
er communities of the state. Ibis
appropriation is to be voted upon un-
der the initiative and referendum at
the coming June election. From a
military standpoint the armories are
from an economic
standpoint they are good invest
ment. The state at present Ia paying
$4,000 per year rentals for inadequate
rookeries. Thus it will be seen that
in comparatively few years the ar.
mories would pay for themselves in
the saving to the state on rentals.
The success of the measure already
seems assured ,Ithe only obstacle being
a possible lack of understanding and
appreciation of the measure by the
voters of smaller communities who
are the ones, by the way, most direct
ly inter ested.

Student Loan Fund.

In the March numbe Of the Univer-
sity Of Oregon Bulletin, copy of
which has just been received, Presi-
dent Campbell discusses "Student
Loan Funds" He says that the ex-
perience of the past few years with
the present university fund indicates
very clearly that much larger sum
could be used to advantage. He cites
many instances where a small loan
has enabled a student to complete his
course and says it would be great
thing if the university we're able to
say to any deserving man or woman
that loan of 500 = year could Ee
depended on for each of the four
years spent in the university. Such
a loan could be made safe against loss
by the guaranty Of a number of men.
The money fol- a large fund will have
to be secured through gifts from in
dividuals interested In helping de-
serving students through the univer-
sity. These gifts will probably range
in amount from S25 to 500, and a
fund of 500 ought to be reached
in a very few years. President Camp
bell believes that loans are better
than gifts for two reasons, the first,
that the seli-reliance and self-Iespect
OF the student is preserved by the
obligation to repay the loan, and the
second, that the loan repaid goes to
help another student through college.

is the first spot of Erin that they see

this is not the first time a lighthouse

rock. but 1t Is the only time in the his
