WHAT FOR BREAKFAST
OPINIONS ON THE SUBJECT
WIDELY DIVERGENT.
Bacon and Eggs Seem to Be UnIver.
sal Favorlte-some Regard Fish
az Indispensable, and Some
Eat Nothing.

Readers may remember that some
time ago a correspondent asked when
bacon and eggs first became generally
a breakfast dish In the United States.
There were many answers to this
question, and learning and ingenuity
were displayed, but the information
was not definite; 1t was of the diges-
tive order. We were reminded Of this
by reading that boycott Of bacon for
fortnight had been suggested in
England to lower the price and that
the keeper Of boarding house at
Margate protested, saying that his
boarders would "hunger-strike" II
there was no bacon at breakfast The
Daily Chronicle remarked apropos:
1T Is not 30 long since bacon has been
In vogue for breakfast. We learn
from Macauley that the fare served In
1881 at Rogers breakfast parties-the
most famous on record-consisted of
very good coffee, very good tea and
very good eggs. butter left in the
midst of ice, and hot rolls"
Fear not, suspicious souls; we have
no intention Of talking about break
fast foods and whether man should eat
breakfast or go till noon on glass Of
water and two or three English wal
nuts. Yet we cannot refrain from
mentioning the fact that some regard
fish as Indispensable. We have al
ready quoted Leigh Hunts views con-
cerning the furnishing Of breakfast
table. Hunt insisted on something pot
ted. Doctor Follett in Crochet Castle
approved chocolate, coffee, tea, cream,
eggs, ham, tongue, cold fowl, but he
described fish as the touchstone. An
chovy is the first step, prawns and
shrimps the second, potted char and
lampreys are the third, and fine
stretch of progression. But lobster Is
indeed matter for May morning, and
demands rare combination of knowl-
edge and virtue in him who sets it off.
We met young man at country
house last week who had much to say
about temperate living and hardening
of the arteries. No sooner had he ta-
ken his seat at the breakfast table
than he began to talk in thin voice
about his morning habits. "At home
| drink two glasses after l arise, and
for breakfast take a soft-boiled egg
fruit in season, and small piece oi
dry toast. No coffee. One cup of 1t Is
more Intoxicating to me than three
glasses of whisky would be. If should
eat the ordinary breakfast my brain
would feel clogged and | should not
be able to write either in prose or
verse;" We observed young Mr..
Smithers and this was his breakfast:
A good-sized melon, two pears and a
peach; hominy with blueberries, thick
ly sugared and with much cream; two
eggs on toast, with bacon corn muf-
fins galore; two large cups Of coffee.

came radiant with happiness. He
waved his hand toward the waiting
audience and without another word
quickly left the hall.
His erratic actions would have
caused uneasiness II his face had not
been so expressive of happiness. He
had hardly reached the exit when the
representatives cheered once again.
He waved his hand in acknowledg-
ment and dashed out.
He raced to the elevator that car
ried him to his aerodromone and in
few minutes he was on the roof of
the Crystal Palace. He quickly de-
scended to the apartment of Astra. his
wife.
His mother awaited him outside the
door; their embrace told much.
A minute later the great man, the
hero, the patriot, the inventor. was
kneeling at the bedside of a smiling.
happy mother, murmuring broken
phrases of Joy at her well-being.
At the mothers request, with shak-
ing hands in fear Of hurting him, he
raised the little, kicking boy and. as
he kissed his son, he said with wet
eyes:
my son. thou shalt be citizen Of
a happier and more peaceful age"
There Is little more to say.
That afternoon Napoleon looked
through the mail that had accumulat-
ed and found Count Won Werdenstein's
message addressed to Astra. He car
ried 1t, together with other urgent let
ters, to her. She asked him to read 1t

out here, amid rocks. sagebrush
and juniper trees. we have the
most enthusiastic branch of the
Klatawas you ever saw. Our
first hike took us far. far down
into the gorge, where flows the
river from which this wonderful
country is irrigated. After
clinging and scrambling and
sliding we finally reached the
bottom then the Jagged ravine
echoed and re-echoed to the
shouts of the amateur Klatawas.

Debate

Interest in this branch of liter.
airy work has grown steadily
since it's serious undertaking
two years ago. AT that time
the James John High School be-
came an active member in the
State Debating League.
Evidence of increasing inter-
est may be realized when we
compare the number Of volun-
teers for the tryouts this year
with that of the first year.
Then il was with difficulty that
six students were persuaded to
enter the preliminaries; this
year fifteen have volunteered
without any persuasion being
brought to bear. The first years
team. however, was not lacking
in energy and ability. They
won for James John the district
championship over the eight
high schools which made up the
willamette Valley district. En-
tering the state semi-hnal de-
bate, they lost TO the Springfield
team. The teams Of this year
were: Edna Hollenbeck, Low
rena Rawson. Johnson Cheney
and Basil Smith.
Last year Of the eight stu
dents who entered the tryouts,
the successful ones were: Hazel
Hall. Maggie Dickie. Catherine
Gensman and Lulu Day, who
made the teams. Drott Larsen
and Homer Plasket. next in
rank, were the alternates. Each
team was wholly succesfuls in
one debate. the affirmative win
ming against Gresham. and los
ing 10 Astoria. while the mega
tives lost to Gresham and won
against Astoria. The work of
both teams was exceptionally
good.
This year the volunteers are:
Will Teutsch. Ferris Swisher,
John McGregoI. Drott Larsen,
Gladys Palmer. Regina Parent.
Frank Bugbee. Frances Miller,
Florence Davis, Pearl Evans.
Margaret Nelson. George Down.
ey, Carlyle Cunningham.
There is first class material in
this list. and we are depending
upon it for championship team.
This work in debate calls for
a high degree of devotion. honor.
and loyalty, and the ones who
have already undertaken il have
responded nobly. They have
for the school, first of
all. and secondly. for the in
iividual honors. The school
board grants to each debater
who shall have participated in
.wo interscholastic debates, a |
gold -" suitably engraved with |
he date and the word DE
,ate." In design this letter is
he same as the official letter
granted for athletic honor.
The winners of this gold let
er wear the badge with worthy
ride in their achievement.

dued and supply them with the
needed advice; they are the
loyal champions of all the Senior
enterprises. II is also perfectly
evident that the Juniors could
never have produced this special
issue without the aid of this
Class. Sophomore Committee.
THE FRESHMEN.
The present Freshman class
numbers an even forty. Their
trials are many. The first thing
to trouble their peace Of mind is
the fact that they must study.
They work early and late and
yet they are unable entirely TO
satisfy the demands of the
teachers. Their second trouble
is their apparent failure to
please others besides the faculty.
They are constantly humping
into some Sophomore who feels
that it is his duty to impart
something from this large store
of advice.
Another Of their trials that
has just recently presented itself
is the demand of the Juniors
that they give an account OF
themselves for publication. The
President rashly promised TO do
il, but evidently could find no
one TO dare the undertaking.
Hence. this brief account. which
fails TO give the deep feelings
and high ambitions which throb
in the Freshman breast.
We would offer a word of SYM
pathy and encouragement TO the
timid Freshman:
LAS you are now, so once were
we.
As we are now. so you will be.
Prepare your work and follow.

the Freshmen any worry at all.
