OREGON STATE COLLEGE
GETS ARTILLERY CORPS
U. S. Inspection Officer Says
Efficiency in Infantry Train
ing Warrants Additional
Arms.

| CORVALLIS. Ore, June 1l.-Ar-
tillery and other branches may be ad-
ded to the military department at the
Oregon Agricultural College as a re-
suit of the United States army Off
GERS report of inspection, May 3. The
report SAYS that efficiency in infantry
training is such as to warrant the ad-
dition of these other branches.
In this connection the recoInmen-
dation is made by the inspecting of
ficer. Major c. B. Smith, that four
machine guns and one 3-inch field gun
with complete fire control equipment
should be provided by the war depart
ment. This issue of machine and
field guns would afford means OF
training annually a considerable
number Of students in machine gun
use and in field artillery which would
enable many students TO render valu-
able service later in machine gun
companies and field artillery"
Military scholarships should be
provided in large numbers I'm the form
of monetary allowance for all student
officers and non-commissioned Off
GERS. This is of great importance be-
cause many students are self-support-
ing.
The government should take ac-
tive steps to supply members Of the
reserve officers training corps with
uniforms. This year students bought
their own uniforms, and because many
are self-supportinE this entailed an
unwarranted hardship"
so important are two features of
the work AT O. \. .C. that they are
recommended to All other land grant
institutions in the couHtrS--coopera-
tion OF other departments with the

NEW MODE FOR THE LADIES.

The announcement that trouser-
cites, or some other variant of the
''bifurcated petticoat," is to be the
next "cri" in mOdish apparel for
women seems to have produced less
sensation than its promulgators
hoped. During watch of death"
the caprices and frivolities of femin-
inc smartness cannot be expected to
interest the people of this or any
other country.
And what if the women shall wear
trousers or trouserettes, tricked out
and adorned with every conceivable
device known to the repertory of
coquetry? Scheherezade wore trous-
ers, as have her myriad sister sui
tanas, and who shall say that Ze-
nobia, Semiramis, and Sheba's queen
did not? A fashion may entertain
us, amuse, delight, but as to striking
us blind or dumb in amazement-

SMALL PAVING BLOCKS USED
They Are Proving Popular in Rural
Regions In Europe-First Laid
In New York State.

For a number of years country roads
In parts of Germany, Austria and 9TH
er European countries have been paved
with small cubes of stone but 1t is not
so generally known that small-block
pavements have been laid in the Unit
ed States. They are believed to have
been introduced first by J. Y. McClin-
took, county superintendent Of Monroe
county, n. Y. After an experience of
ten years or so, he recommends the
use of blocks of vitrified clay, meas
uring pa inches on each side. These
are laid on a base Of gravel, macadam,
concrete or broken Stag, which is usu-
ally made wider than the pavement
in order to support the gravel or brok-
en- stone laid beside the cubes to form
hard shoulders to carry vehicles that

Such a noise as there was in the
Barnyard and all because a great many

ITO be sure IL would be, too" said
Miss Hen, who was rather nervous.
Poor great-grandfather might have
been run over and killed by one and
there is always that awful chance that
an automobile might"
"You are so nervous" said Mr..
Rooster. "But the reason my great

because he said he felt it was taking
attention away from him which he
thought he deserved"

EASY QUESTION TO DECIDE
No One Need Long Hesitate to Decide
Between What lie Right and
What Is Wrong.

There is one great trouble among
men, and that is because they have
OF clear conceptions Of what is
right and what is wrong. They go
through life with their thoughts all
confused upon this subject, and very
often take the wrong side almost as
a natural result. But everybody
should have a clear idea Of what is
right and wrong, for if they do and
make use Of the knowledge their
lives will be happier and society e1-l
allied A few questions will make,
plain the rightness or wrongness Of
a matter in question: On which
side of this issue is. reverence, hon
esty, purity, unselfshness, candor2
If these do not figure on a side Of an
issue, you may be sure it is the wrong
side. If there is an omission Of any,
one of these qualities it is the wrong
side.
Judgment in these matters of ev-
eryday life, upon which a person
wants to be right, can easily be
reached by interposing these ques-
tons Suppose upon the common
experience of voting there may be
some doubt; Just ask these questions
concerning the candidate and you
will find it is a very easy matter to
be on the right side. Does the can
didate suggest reverence, honesty,
purity, unselfshness, candor? If
not, he is on the wrong side; it
makes no difference what party
badge he may wear. If you want to
be right you will vote against him.
The same rule will apply in all the
concerns of life.-Ohio State Jour-
nal. -.

Laying Vitrified Blocks.

are forced to turn out Of the main
roadway. During the last year about
six miles of such pavement were put
down in the county.
Mr.. McClintock holds that this type
of construction is desirable where a
substantial base is already In place, as
in the case of an old gravel or ma.
cadam road which Is not worn out, OF
a base can be constructed at low cost
The vitrified blocks are often laid by
unskilled labor, properly supervised
with entirely satisfactory results.
Another type Of small-block pave
ment was recently laid on the Morris
town turnpike in New Jersey, which
carries heavy traffic. There is a sec
tion Of this road about 1000 feet long
having a per cent grade, where 1t
was decided to try small granite
blocks in the hope that their numerous
joints would reduce the tendency to
slip and skid on this rather steep
slope. The blocks are to finch cubes
and were laid on a thin foundation.
They were not laid In rows but
in curved lines, forming a mosaic pat
tern, and the joints were filed with
fine stone and grout Of cement and
sand.

such things II she didn't mean some
of them.

'Halcyon days" was the name given
by the Greeks to the seven days which
precede and follow the shortest day
Of the year. The reference is to an
old fable which states that during this

fisher, was breeding, there was calm
at sea. From this tradition the phrase
'halcyon days" has come to signify a
period Of peace and tranquility.

Intense fighting in the Champagne re-

The Champagne attack, Paris declares
was brilliantly successful 1t was aimed

says the French report, in the destruc-
tion of German positions on front OF
more than 1900 yards and approximate
ly from 600 to 500 yards in depth.
Berlin announces a penetration OF
German trenches in this attack but as
serts the recovery of important dom
mating positions, conceding, however,
that the French retained possession of
some of the ground gained.
A successful assault by Germans on
Russian positions along the Rumanian
west front between Trotus and Uzul val
leys was announced by German head
quarters. A height and a strongly en-
trenched position nearby were captured
together with more than 600 prisoners
and several machine guns.
