A meeting of the leaders was held

The response of other colleges to-
group discussions of war problems

HONOR SYSTEM UP AGAIN
Faculty Recommends New Draft OF
Plan and New Action.

The committee of faculty and stu
dent representatives, appointed at the
suggestion of the faculty to revise
the draft of the honor system that was
proposed in student mass meeting
some time ago, has met and recon-
mends the system as outlined below.
The committee consists Of L. NJ. De-
foe, George Lefevre and o. NJ. Stewart,
representing the faculty, and Olive
Hawkins, Nathan Scarritt and Morris
E. Dry, representing the students.
The honor system, as it was former
ly submitted in the mass meeting, was
accepted by the students there as
sembled. but the faculty, acting upon
a feeling which they had that the
system had not received proper con-
sideration from the students because
of insufficient announcements, it was
thought, had been made of the fact
that the honor system was to come up
for discussion in the mass meeting
failed to ratify, the System. as pro-
posed and recommends that the new
-
draft be made and submitted to the
students in another meeting.
The revised system will be sub
mitted to the action of the student
body at some time after the students
return from the Easter holidays. In
the meantime, the officers of the Stu
dent Government Association are high
ly desirous that free and open dis
cussion be held upon the plan. so that
the ideas of the students may be
we'll formulated by the time of the
voting, both as to the general plan
and as to any changes of details that
may be deemed advisable. The plan
follows:
Each student shall affix to any
written work assigned to him indi- !

SPRING BRINGS SAsSAFRAS TEA
Belief That IL Clears the Blood Still

And she went on to emphasize the
efficacy of sassafras tea in clearing
the blood. When pressed for more
specific benefits to be derived from
drinking the beverage. she shook her
head and said, II dunno, but it's jest
good foh de blood. Everybody drinks
it in de spring"
In spite of Auntie's reiterations to
the contrary, a downtown druggist
says sassafras root has no medicinal
value. 1t is used merely as an astrin-
gent or as an aromatic to disguise the
taste of unpleasant medicines. An oil
is also made from the roots.
But sassafras tea has a pleasant
flavor and the public still has faith in
it. One drug store in town sells about
fifteen to thirty pounds a year, and
tells how to make the tea. Add to a
pint of boiling water a teaspoon of
sassafras bark and let it stand for
fifteen or twenty minutes, then pour
off and sweeten but do not add milk.

CURING HAY WITHOUT
STACKING IS WASTEFUL
Stacked Hay Is In Demand BY Feed
ers-Tops Market When Sold.

O. A. c., Corvallis, Ore, June "a
This is a good year for stacking
hay, The practice of cutting hay
raking it, and curing it in cocks
where it is left until it is baled saves
some labor, but is an expensive and
wasteful process from the stand
point of forage.
Much hay is spoiled annually by
bleaching and by wetting," says G.
R. Hyslop, professor of farm crops in
the Oregon Agricultural College.
Most of the loss in quality and
shrinkage may be saved by stacking
the hay. Less labor at baling time
is required, and the hay is more uni
form. In addition to this, the exces
siVe drying out and brittleness may
be avoided, giving a leafy, tough, pal
atable, nutritious type of hay with
good color This is the kind of hay
most in demand by feeders and the
hay which tops the market when Of
fered for sale
To build hay stack foundation
preferably of poles or boards, or of
old straw or weeds or some material
of that sort should be put on the
ground to prevent moisture drawing
up into the stack, points out Profess
sor Hyslop. The hay should if pos
sible, be pitched on the stack from
both sides, as the large amount of
tramping on one side when hay is on
ly pitched on from that side, results
IN uneven settling.
Tie middle of the stack must be
kept built high so that in settling
there is always tendency for any
moisture which may penetrate the
stack to run out. Care should be Ia
ken not to build the stack too wide
as it will necessitate extreme high
handling in order to top it satisfac-
torily.

S|NNOTT SPEAKS
FOR RECLAMATION

Washington, d. c., June 24.-(Spe-
cial l-Congressman Nick Sinnott of
Oregon plead for immediate and sub
stantial action in the way of keep
ing the home fires burning" for the
returning American soldier boys in a
speech to-day on the Reclamation ap-
preparation bill. He renewed HIS
battle of few days ago for imme-
diate enlargement of the program for
reclamation of arid lands in order
that the waste places might at once
be turned into homes and farms for
the returning soldier boys. He said
this was no time for "watchful wait
ing" that there was no need for ex-
tended investigations as proposed in
the bill. He held up before his col
leagues on the floor big, thick printed
reports made by the Reclamation Ser
vice and the State Of Oregon upon
prospective projects in that state and
told them that these repors showed in
detail everything necessary about the
engineering features and the quality
of the land to be irrigated.
Among the Oregon projects which
he brought to the attention of the
House were the Malheur and Owyhee
projects, the Ochoco, Crooked River,
Silver Lake, Deschutes and John Day
projects. He asserted that the deyel-
opment of these projects would make
available 100000 acres of land on
which returning soldiers might raise
80 to so bushels of wheat per acre or
the equivalent thereof.
When asked by Representative
Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania how
these could be made available to SOL
diers, Sinnott said:
"The matter of getting ready these
homes and farms for the returning
soldiers should not be delayed to wait
for extended Investigations. believe
the entire nation will unanimously
endorse any we'll considered move
ment or legislation designed to re-
ward our returning soldiers by fur
nishing them with homes or the op-
portunity to earn them, by giving
them a tract of the very land they
are today so bravely hazarding their
lives to defend.
Let us enter upon this work In Or
der to enthuse and inspire our boys
"over there" Let us inspire them
with the word that a grateful nation
grateful people, proposes at this
time to dedicate a portion at least of
the very home land they are so val
iantly defending, as homes and farms
for these boys, and their wives and
children, and when we do this we
shall do little enough. At best it will
be scant, meager recognition in
deed of the great debt that we shall
owe to these heroes when this war is
over"

Delivery Of the first of the 1923
locomotives ordered by the railroad
administration Will start in July, and
deliveries Will continue monthly during
the rest of the year. The locomotives
are of six standard types, with one
heavy and one light style in each type.
They. vary in weight from 290,OOC
pounds to $4,000 pounds, and the en-
tire order will cost about $60,000,000
The six standard types are expected
to eventually supersede the many
kinds now In service, which embrace
engines built according to 500 or more
specifications. According to the rail
road administration, this Is the first
real step ever taken toward the wide
Standardization of locomotives.
An order has also been placed for
100000 freight cars of standard type
to cost between $250,000,000 and $780,
100000. Negotiations for the conStruc-
tion OF many thousand additional steel
freight cars are still pending. The Ave
types of cars ordered represent the
standard forms of freight cars adopted
by the railroad administration.
The adoption of these standard
types, it is believed, will eventually
substitute a few scientifically worked
laneous varieties of cars, representing
probably more than thousand differ
ent old styles and specifications now

Before an airplane can be put into
military service it must be equipped
with at least nine delicate aerOnautic
instruments. some Of which are abSO-
lutely essential to exact flying, and all
contribute to the successful operation
of plane. One gives the pilot his To-
cation as to height and direction; 9th
ers tell his speed through the air, the
speed of his propeller, the amount of
gasoline carried, water temperature,
operation Of the oiling system, and
guide his banking" on turns. An
other necessary article Is the oxygen
supplying apparatus, without which an
aviator could not climb to any great
height.
For operation of actual combat
planes, such as observing, Photographic
ing, bombing, and Sighting planes,
other complicated and expensive IN
struments and sets of apparatus are
necessary. Among them are machine
guns. gun mounts, bomb racks, bomb
dropping devices, bomb sights, radio
and Photographic apparatus, electrl-
cally heated clothing, lights and flares.
These bring the total cost of equip
ment for an airplane to several thou
sand dollars each, depending upon the
type of plane.
