If in need of genuine alcohol, do not
call on the district attorneys office as
the district attorney has nothing to do
with the giving of permits to indiyid-
uals. The call should be made on a
doctor and after said doctor is con
vinced that the alcohol is for medical
purposes only, at his own discretion he
may prescribe alcohol, which then may
be secured from a druggist. The district
attorneys office issues permits for the
importation into the state by wholesal-
ers and also permit to retailers to buy
from wholesalers. The district attorney
also issues permits for the use of alcohol
to hospitals, manufacturers, laborator-
les, doctors and dentists, but positively
not to individuals for personal use.
Denatured alcohol may be bought from
any druggist without permit. Hence
if an individual wants genuine alcohol,
the doctor is the first one to visit and
then the drug store, and there is no
other legal way of getting it.

Stocks FIuCtuate But
Changes Are Slight

New York, Feb. 2S.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
About the only manifestation of sem
timent in today s stock market was the
bearishness of the floor traders, who
found it hard to understand why prices
do not 90 down. Incentive to sell is
even more lacking than inducement to
buy. The professional element supplied
u little action by alternately putting
out lines Of short stocks and then COW
ering, apparently with the hope of in
ducing some portion of the public to
enter the market ON the rise.
Nobody looks for any initiative either
on the selling or buying side until con-
gress shall have taken some action with
respect to meeting the international sit
uation. Wall street regards the situa-
ton as a state Of war, no matter by
what name it is called. A declaration
of war may not come, but even the most
optimistic cannot now see how a state
of war can be avoided.
There is at least something definite
in this state of affairs. 1t is still bit
too early to look for direct effect ON
securities. Net changes in prices to-
day, therefore, were Of no consequence
or significance, whatever.
The copper group was firm.
There were brief intervals of an am
imation in late trading, but prices con-
tinued to ease off gradually. Losses ON
the day ranged fran l to points,

University Notes

Rein Jackson, sophomore, was elect
ed captain Of next years basketball
team by a unanimous vote of the w
men in that activity, yesterday. Jack
son is one OF the best athletes in the
university. Last year as freshman he
lacked but short time of winning his
letter in basketball. He also took first
in the class cross country run of over
four miles, thereby gaining the Hauser
Brothers silver trophy cup for his class.
On the varsity track team he was the
second best distance man, and won sew
eral points in collegiate meets. This
year jackson intends to enter all
branches of athletics, in the fall he was
on the football squad, and played in
three games as o half. When basketball
season opened he was on deck, and held
down the central position for all but one
game. He played every minute of play
ing time. This spring both the diamond
and path will see him in action.
Captain Flegel is the only letter man
of this year, who will not be back for
next season IS gym sports. Esteb, Mich
OILS, Jackson and Flegel won their bas-
ketball letter this year.
As the time approaches for the Ray
mond Robins meeting, student interest
is gradually centering around March II,
l3, ii. In the University of Southern
California, and the University of Cali
fornia, his meetings are reported as one
continuous round of success. He will
visit Stanford university and the Uni
versity of Nevada before appearing at
Willamette.
With Freshman Glee scheduled for
Thursday night, only two days more,
all the other forms of college activities
seemed to have ceased, except the many
daily class, song rehearsals. Since both
the university chapel and First Metho-
dist church have proved wholly made
quate to accommodate the audience that
is attracted by the event, the freshmen
have definitely decided to secure tse
local armory for that evening. 1t will
be decorated with the university colors,
Cardinal and Gold, as much as possible,
but the largeness of the room makes in
tense decorations impossible.
1t is claimed by many that both the
words and music Of this year s song are
far better than any Of previous years
The senior song words were composed
by Wesley Hammond, the music by
Amelia Cossalman; the junior words by
Litha Paekenham, the music by Ger
trude Cunningham; the sophomore
words by Theodosia Teel, the music by
Esther Cox; the freshman words by
Guie Leo, the music by Hazel Hocken-
smith.
All of Salem and friends of the uni
versity far and near are cordially invit-
ed by the freshman class to attend this
annual songfest.

Heretofore, when school teacher
signed contract with school board,
the teacher could break the contract
on 80 days notice, but the directors
of the board did not have that privilege.
1t was a onesided contract with the
teacher getting the best of it. Now, by
o law passed by the Legislature, the
school board will have an even break
with the teacher, as the law provides
that after the contract is signed, the
teacher cannot break it within 30 days
before the beginning of school, or at
any time during the life of the contract
after school is in session. If the teach
err does break the contract, his or her
certificate shall be revoked by the au-
thorities issuing same. 1t simply means
that hereafter in Oregon, after a teacher
has signed year contract, said teacher
cannot 60 out and look for better job.

ness and to the rights Of the school
board to release teacher was left I'M
