it will excel both in point of interest
nd attendance any other distinct
UNCONVENTIONAL gathering for young

FIFTY-FIRsT ANNIVERSARY.

Vigorous, active, and apparently in
the prime of life, the Right Reverend
Bishop Charles Henry Phillip, A. M,
D, D., celebrated his fifty-frst ami
yersary on Sunday, January IT,
There was no demonstration in So
cial way of this occasion-simply a
few friends called at the Bishops
home to congratulate him upon at
tanning the first mile above the half
century mark. He was at home the
entire day receiving callers who came
o pay their respects and offer con-
yratulations. At 4:45 in the after
noon he received a telegram of con-
Fratulations from Tyler, Texas sent
by his two sons G. H., Jr. and Jasper
Tappin, who are both pursuing their
professions in the Lone Star State.
He left the city this week on another
one of his trips where he will spend
possibly a month in the interest of
the work of his churcn, paying par
ticular attention to the educational
feature, going first to Tyler, Texas
to visit the Texas College and then
TO Beaumont, Houston and other
points.

probation for the many years of use

$500 in money. The choir rendered
some choice music for the occasion

Glen Warner, of Carlisle, Favors a
Kicking Game.

New York, Jan. 23.-Like every 9TH
er coach, Glenn Warner of the Carlisle
Indians has ideas of his own on the
forward pass. For one thing, he thinks
it is too much restricted One of his
ideas is that the rules committee would
do we'll to abolish the restriction that
4 forward pass must clear the line of
scrimmage five yards from the center.
What he thinks would be still better
than that. however, would be to elm
mate the forward pass entirely and
supplant it with a rule that kicked
hall may be caught on the fly by either
side.
with this latter permissible" he
says, "the game would be football en-
tirely and not with anything of a
basket ball nature To allow a man
Of the kicker's side to catch the ball on
the fly would call for lot of pretty
work and, as it would require an open
defense, would serve to keep the game
open just as much as the forward pass.
would have one provision, and that
is If back-field man of the opposing
side could catch the ball before an
opponent could get to it he should be
allowed to do 50, but otherwise the
ball to go to whichever side could
catch it. That would put a premium
on accurate kicking and would be bet
ter than the present rule, which
doesn't put a player Of the kicking
team onside until the ball has struck
the ground. It's guesswork how the
hall is going to bound, and the play
becomes a good deal of a scramble.
"In any event a rule is needed so
that the forward pass will work more
freely, so that officials won't be kept
so busy seeing that it is properly done
and INJECTING penalties when it fails
to work I don't see any reason why
the pass should have to go five yards
from the center Of course, there must
he some restrictions or teams would
be throwing the hall all the time.
"I think. too it is time now to do
away with the requirement that if the
man taking the ball from the center
runs with it he must 80 five yards to
the side At the time that rule was
passed, the ivc-va~d requirement was
to prevent mon from massing and
jamming the player who took the bal
from the center through the middle Of

Warner said he thought Harvard's
success last fall was due largely to
the fact that the crimson team for
the first time had a charging signal.
The Indians and Pennsylvania have
used one for several seasons, he said,

This is an advanced stand indeed
the Oregonian takes.
Sure, people lived" before they had
any dairy inspection. SO did they live
before they had sewers systems, be-
fore vaccination was adopted and be-
fore careful quarantine regulations
stopped the entrance of old world
plaques into tbs country. But peo-
Pile live better and longer because Of
the successful battle science is wag-
ing with disease. Medical men are
now striving vigorously TO eliminate
tuberculosis, the most dreaded of all
diseases, and the attack upon impure
milk is but one move in the cam
paign. 1t is important that the milk
supply of city should be protected
for the reason that milk constitutes
almost a perfect media for the propo-
CATION of disease germs.
Oregon has suffered through slack
work in the office of the food and
dairy commissioner. In other lines
some good up-to-date work has been
done. Through the work of the sheep
and the federal bureau of
animal industry scab has been almost
from the state. Horticul-
tural inspectors are doing away with
the wormy apple and other classes of
fruit. But in the matter of
dairy inspection oregon has remained
where it was so years ago. This has
largely been due to the fact that for
many years the state has had dairy
commissioner who is notoriously unfit.
1t looks now like his day of reckoning
has come. 1t is certainly time for a
new deal in the food and dairy COM
missioner's office and neither the
poor grammer of the present incum-
bent nor the sneering defense made
for him by the Oregonian should stop
his going.

All these and many more stupen-
dous facts might be cited with refer

not one citizen in a hundred realizes
that any interest attaches to it. Few
people in Kentucky ever saw the

was always a little farther on. The
land of ones desire is that to which
ne can not possibly go. There are
realms of romance without end. but
no man ever confessed to living in one.
1t is human nature that the unreal

all things interesting.
