Telephone to Scare Burglars

The manager of a telephone ex-
change is living alone during his
wife's summering in the country and
he has little on his mind save the con-
slant fear that while he is away from
the nat burglars will go through it.
To alleviate in a measure his pangs
of trepidation he has given the ex-
change over which he has charge
standing orders that the telephone in
his fat shall be rung up once every
half hour from nine O'Clock in the
morning until six at night. He be-
lieves that the ringing Of that bell
might some time startle a burglar at
work and drive him away.-New
York Sun.

No Fear for the Lords.

From the London Spectator.
We are not in the least afraid of the
liberals wanting to abolish the house
of lords, though we own that we are
sometimes afraid of their insisting on
keeping the house of lords in exist
ence for fear that if it is abolished, the
nation will demand much stronger
and more efficient check on the &C
ton of the lower house.

HIGH SCHOOL FRATERN|T|Es
MUST CO, SAY LEGISLATORS

High school fraternities in the state
of oregon will soon be things of the
past, If a measure which has been
prepared by the Legislative commit
tee in this county and which will be
presented by the local legislative del
the approaching legislative session.
This bill is but one of several which
has been prepared by the local COM
mittee but is doubtful If any measure
to be given consideration at the ap-
preaching session arouses more COM
ments or creates more interest While
the opposition to high school frater-
mites is by no means a new thing
this will be the first time that a bin
has ever been presented to an Ore
gon legislature providing for their
abolishment.
The supporters of the measure in
sist that there is no excuse for the
existence of fraternities or soror-
tiles in high schools and that they
serve no good purpose while the evils
arising from them are numerous
II is urged that fraternities create
a spirit Of snobbery and that they
