PLAYER HELD ELIBIBLE

Oregon Agricultural College, Corval-
lis, Or, Oct. 26.-That Johnny Parsons,
sensational University of Oregon half
back, who has been protested by the
University of Washington, is eligible to
compete is the belief of Dean A. b.
Cordley, Of the Oregon Agricultural
College, who is a member of the ad-
visory committee of the Pacific Coast
intercollegiate Conference.
Dean Cordley bases his opinion on the
fact that the clause under which Coach
Dobie is protesting Parsons has foot
note attached which says that the rul-
ing shall not be retroactive, and the
Oregon Aggie faculty member CON
strues this as applying to the entire
clause and not TO a part of it only.
Inasmuch as the advisory committee
settles all matters pertaining TO elig-
ibility it is unlikely that the protest
of the University OF Washington will
hold.

MURDER CONFESSION

case Of Benton L. Barrett, aged farmer,
who voluntarily confessed to beating

Detectives of the district attorney Is
office are seeking to answer these ques-
tions:

Why were the crunched up bones
found on the Barrett farm those of a
laboratory skeleton, not of freshly
killed humans, as anatomists insist?
1t has been limited by w. 0na Morton,
Barrett s attorney, that the defense will
try to prove Barrett was under hyp
motto SPELL from which he is just re-
covering, and that he has really con

This training will continue until the officer appoint ed gets his official pilot license.

The United States Language

Not long ago newspaper corre-
 spondCnt, in describing a conference
 between President Wilson and several members of Congress, wrote that the President stopped speaking English
 and talked in plain United States The distinction is not without con- siderable difference, for, in the course of the last three centuries, the Eng hsh-spea king peoples of North Amer ica have enriched and embroidered and embe1lished the language by many thousands of new words These Americanisms run the gamut from vulgar and ephemeral slang terms
 which have temporary vogue among the young and thoughtless and are
 then forgotten, to dignified Vocables which command the respect of the
 most conservative of English le21co- graphers The English vocabulists
 now include in their dictionaries many
 terms which originally were Ameri-. canisrns, but which have now become respectable members in good stand ing of the family of English words.
 While in Canada the usage is near CT to the English standard, the peo- pie of the Dominion have given a hearty welcome to a multitude of words which are purely United
 States.' and they have also coined
 numerous new terms of their own which now pass current on the south
 ern side of the international boun- dary. In orthography and pronuncia- tion, which offer so many glaring diff ferences between English and United States Canada is a sort, of halfway ground.
 It happens that this is the centen-
 ary of the publication in Boston of the first vocabulary of AnericinasrHs.
 John Pickering, the compiler Of the
 1916 volume, was either very negH-
 gent in performing his task, or else
 the people of America up to that time had manifested little ingenuity in coining new words, for his book was
 small and contained perhaps less than ere per cent. of the Americanfsr11ss which now have a wide vogue. John
 Russell Bart1ett's vocabulary of Amer icanisms, published in 1848, showed
 great Improvement, but it has been far outstripped by subsequent com pilations.
 A vocabulary of -AmericanisIas puo- 1ished in 1859 contained hundreds of words which are now scarcely recog- nized as such on this side of the At lantic, although many of them are still strangers in England.
 The author criticises as '-pretenti- ous'' the American habit of saying
 '.baggage'' when luggage" is meant, and dismisses as ridiculous the sub- stitution of ''balance" for remainder. Other words now in common use which excite his surprise include the following:
 Boss, mean an employer or super 1 intendent of. laborers.
 Buggy, meaning a two-wheeler carriage.
 Bureau, for chest of drawers. | Corn as applied only to maize, in stead of to grain generally i ''Dead-head, a person who gets something for nothing. e'Dry goods, a general term for such goods as are sold by linen drapers, ! mercers, haberdashers, hosiers, etc. l meaning autumn. e'F'ish dealer anad fruit dealer, for 1 fishmonger and fruiterer& OF green 1 grocer.

THE HEssIAN RULER

Ernest Louis, the Grand Duke of Hesse, will today begin his twenty fifth year as ruler of the little Ger man state, having succeeded his father, Grand Duke Louis w., on March IS, 1892. Ernest Louis is now in his forty-eighth year, and is an officer of high rank in the Emperor's army, although so far as known he has yet to cover himself with glory. The Hessian ruling family traces it's resent back to the thirteenth cen tury, when Henry l., son of a Duke of Brabant, became landgrave of Hesse. Among his famous successors was Phillip the Magnanimous, of the and supporter of the Reformation. He died in 1867, when Hesse was divided into HesSe- CaSsel ana HeSSe-Darn- stadt, under his sons William and George. The present Grand Duke be- longs to the Darmstadt branch of the family. Besides the Cassel and Darm- stadt lines, there is the branch known as sse-PhiIippsthal, founded in 1870. A scion of the latter line, Prince Christian, married last year an American woman, Elizabeth ogers of Washington, who was given the title of Baroness Von Barchfeld by Grand Duke Ernest Louis. Although she is only a morganatic wife, she has been cordially received by her hus- bands relatives. It was the Notorious Frederick II. who added some $15,- 0Oo,0O0 to his private fortune by sell ing the services of his soldiers to other nations. Many of them were hired by England to fight in America during the revolution, and 'EIessian" has ever since been a word of re- proach in the United States.
