ASnlanu won IOur times over Ill
the challenge issued by the young
people Of this city to Medford when
they claimed they would send two
persons to Medford's one to the
young peoples evening Of the Jack
son County Sunday school convention
in session. At the count last even
ing Ashland had 95 representatives Of
the young peoples societies, while
Medford had 23. Both, however, were
good representations and the utmost
of amicability existed among the
good-natured rivals. Led by Yell
leader John o. Rigg, Ashland DEM
onstrated what they can do in the
way Of expressing their exuberance,
and the rafters rang with their war
cry OF victory. Medford came back
at them and made up in the volume
of noise what they lacked in num-
bers.
A good attendance greeted the
popular meeting OF the convention
last night and listened to an excep-
tionally fine program. The song SER
vice was presided over by General
Secretary Humbert, after which
President Carson took charge of the
meeting, when the vote was taken
proving Ashland's victory over Med
ford in the numbers attending A
male quartet rendered a fine vocal
selection, followed by Ralph Bran
don OF Medford, who gave talk on
"The Kind of a Sunday School l
Like" This was full of piquant stor-
les and pointed references that put
the audience in a good humor, yet
carried lesson with each one. Miss
Hazel Green of Ashland read an ex-
eeptionally creditable paper on "The
Kind OF Teacher Like" which was
one all Sunday school teachers should
take to heart.
After singing a selection by re-
quest Harold F. Humbert, general
secretary of the State Sunday School
association, gave an inspiring ad-
dress on 1.-THE Torch of Flanders"
Taking his theme from the beautiful
poem that will become a classic, ION
Flanders Field" Mr.. Humbert
thrilled his audience with his word

gained by carrying on the work be-
fore the Sunday school workers.
Yesterday sessions were all brim
full of excellent talks and demon
strations of Sunday school work.
Among these were "The Teachers
Challenge" by Mrs. F. w. Mears and
"a Church School Goal" by Harold
F. Humbert, in the forenoon. In the
afternoon the school Of methods took
up the session. This was conducted
by Mr.. Humbert, Miss Parker and
Rev. ]. w. Hoyt, who addressed the
different divisions Of the Sunday
school work at the same time.
The auditorium Of the Methodist
church is beautifully decorated with
autumn leaves and late flowers,
which with the appropriate banners
adorning the walls, make a beauti-
full setting for the convention. Today's
programs are full of interesting and
inspiring events of vital Importance
to Sunday school workers.

Trousers Not for
Women; Californian
Has Own Ideas

Girls, have you secret, silent
longing to be a farmerette and don
overalls, or to wear a distracting
riding habit and brothers military
puttees? If you have here are some
direful prophesies a California man,
opposed to woman's suffrage, has to
make:
"0veralls spoil girls beauty, CIV
ing them 'mascline, repulsive as
pect and vulgar manners, which un-
fits them for home duty" decides
the California prophet.
"a woman, who from the outset
would show a desire to wear
breeches," he says, would never
be wed by sensible man."
Seven reasons are submitted for
donning the trouser by women.
They are;
l. Because some girls should
ike 10 be men; z. Others do not
live with their cruel husbands (?);
3. Others are German sympathizers;
4. Others are working hard to beat
the Chinese lottery; s. Others are
lowering the high cost of living; 6.
Others want to save their money
which otherwise would be spent in
clothes; and 7. Others because the
country is not yet ripe enough to go
about in tights.
1--WE want no costly jewellery and
silks in our factories, but a plain,
female, patriotic, decent working
girls, Our shops would look 100
per cent prettier than with girls in
mans trousers" according to the
opinion Of the Californian.

of the large steamers which formerly
operated out Of San Francisco to Ha-
waii and which were used in the
transport service during the war. will
be restored to their owners and be

NEW lORh.-SeVen years ago d
slim, muscular school boy walked
from an athletic field in Pasadena,
Cal, with an ambition to become
the nations greatest athlete,
At the age of Is he had taken the
colors of the Pasadena high school
into an all-around championship
and been crowned the victor.
Recently at Jersey City, this same
lad, grown now to six footer of
superb build was crowned the ma
tion's premier athlete in the national
A. A. U. "all-around" championship
meet.
He Is Samuel Harrison Thomson,
star Princeton athlete Of Los An
geles, Calf. and late of the Ameri-
can Expeditionary forces.
The new champion is 22 years of
age. He comes OF athletic stock.
Six years ago at Princeton his broth
er, Rev. Fred c. Thomson became
the national champion and set the
record of 7,4111a points, which still
stands
In bringing the second champion
ship title to the family, the younger
Thomson accumulated a total of
6,133A points after a battle with
Larry Karimo, the noted Finn of
Detroit.
The Californian won the running
high jump at feet 1Oh inches; the
$50 yards walk in 1897 AS; the IL
pound hammer throw with 1l5 feet,
10A inches. He was second in the
100 yards dash, finishing one foot
behind Dan Shea of the Pastime On.
W A. C. in II 1-5 seconds second
in the 16 pound shot put with 3S feet
s inches; second in pole vault with
9 feet s inches; second in the 1870
yards hurdle behind Karimo, who
went the distance in 16 3-5 seconds;
second in the Sc pound weight event
with IS feet ~ inches; fourth in
the running broad jump with 1S
feet II inches and fourth in tho
one-mile run at 5:31 a-5.
The new champion is no Thorpe in
ability or physique but he does ap-
proach close to the type Of the ideal
American athlete. He has size,
grace and ease of movement almost
to the point of laziness. In the high
jump he would rise from squatted
position on the ground, walk leisure
ly to the bar and clear it with no eN-
ertion. The same confidence and
ease of action was apparent in all
his efforts.
In commenting upon tina cham
pionship meet it is but fair to pay
tribute to the Finn representative of
the Detroit Young Mems order, Lar
ry Karimo, who finished second in
the meet. without attempting to
detract any from the credit due to
Thomson's victory 1t is said in pus-
tife to the Finn that the Detroit man
beat himself out OF the champion
ship that his all-around form proved
he deserved.
Karimo lost the championship by
being disqualified in the $50 yards
walk. His indulgence in hunning,
which caused his disqualification
and the loss OF at least 700 points
must have been due to case Of rat
tied nerves" as there was no reason
for his violation OF the rules. He
was in fourth place comfortably and
instead of playing shrewdly for sure
points he had one OF those so-called
Balloon ascensions" and got out OF
his gait.
Howevr cool nerves and steadiness
may be an attribute Of a champion
and in this respect Thomson proved
himself far the superior and 1t en-
abled him to win what was a very

RETURNING ITALIANS SHOW
WEAKNESS OF L. s. LAWS

The vanguard of the host OF Ital'
ians who sailed with their families
and their savings for their native
land as speedily as possible after
the armistice was signed returned to
New York last week. on the steam
ship Dante Alighieri. There were
500 of them. all travelling steerage,
and they prophesied that their dis
appointed countrymen would fill
westbound ships for months to
come.
Turbulent Italy, they declared, has
no place today for thrifty sons re-
turning from foreign shores. Food,
rent, clothes and fuel are at prohibi-
tive prices, they said, and profiteers
throng on every side. to pounce upon
the unwary.
This news item might equally well
have applied to any one of the south
ern nations OF Europe from which
our immigrants have come for the
past decade. II points to a sinister
menace that is becoming clearer to
those Americans who have eyes to
see. II means that Americanization,
as applied to many Of our foreign
born citizens, is a flat failure.
Aside from the fact that less than
ten percent of these same immigrants
even go through the form Of taking
out citizenship papers; aside from the
fact that more than one-half Of the
workmen in our fundamental indus
tries, iron, steel and COAL are for
signers, there remains the bitter
truth that we have huge and undi-
gested alien population within our
boundaries, which has come here for
what there is In 1t, and Is interested
in only what 1t can get out~of our
country, and eager to return to home
lands with its earnings at the first
possible moment.
Theodore Roosevelt said, "Unless
we are thorough-going Americans
and unless our patriotism is part of
the very fibre OF our being, we can
neither serve God nor take our own
part. Whatever may be the case
in an infinitely remote future, at
present no people can render any
service to humanity unless as a peo-
pie they feel an intense sense Of
national cohesion and solidarity.
The man who loves other nations
as much as he does his own, stands
on par with the NAM who loves
other women as much as he does his
own wife. The United States can
accomplish little for mankind, save
In 80 far as within Its borders il
develops an intense spirit Of Ameri-
canism."
His words are worth pondering.
Beyond and above and below any
other need is the need for the i'm
to learn the language OF the
land OF his adoption. Until he can
speak and read English he is help
less. Until he knows the language
OF the Declaration OF Independence,
he Is a menace.
One OF the priceless legacies left
us by Theodore Roosevelt was his
clear vision and powerful words on
this problem. He knew; and we can
do we'll to remember what he said.

Guide Map
Is Issued

Recreation in the Southern Cas-
cades" is the title of folder just is
sued by the Forest Service.
One side of the folder contains a
map, IS by "a inches, showing the
recreation features Of the Crater ma
tional forest, in southern Oregon.
The map includes considerable Of the
surrounding country. 1t shows the
roads and trails giving access to the
forest from Medford, Ashland, and
Klamath Falls, and calls attention
to the public camp grounds and sum-
mer home sites maintained by the
Forest Service at Lake of the Woods,
Dead Indian Soda Springs, Recre4'
ton, Union Creek, Odessa, Natural
Bridge, Blue Mountain and other
places. Points along the routes
where tourists may find stores, meals,
lodging, service stations, garages, and
horse feed are indicated, and the To-
cation of Huckleberry mountain
camp ground is also shown. The
map includes a mileage table giving
the distance from Medford, klamath
Falls, and Ashland to the principal
recreation points.
The back of the folder carries a
brief description Of the Crater Ma
tional forest, and calls attention to
IT'S more important recreation fea-
lures. Importance Of care with fire
is emphasized, and five rules for
preventing fire are given.
Forty thousand people visit the
Crater National Forest for varying
periods each year, and there is room
for thousands more. The visitor Is
not trammelled by rules or regula-
tions. He may go where he likes,
pitch his tent, help himself to wood
for his fire and forage for his horse
and enjoy himself In his own way.
All that Is expected is that he will
be careful with fire and in other
ways see to it that he does not in
jure the beauty and usefulness OF the
forest. For the benefit of the visitor
the Forest Service has provided
many conveniences, especially at the
most frequented camp sites; has
built roads and trails and placed
guide signs, surveyed summer home
sites, and in many other ways made
il easy to travel and vacation in the
forest"
The following quotation from tho
folder is worthy of repetition: Take
care of your forests as you do of
your own home. Do your share in
keeping them attractive for other
people. Damage to the forests means
loss to everyone in many different
ways. Be careful with fire. Keep
the stream pure. Keep a clean
camp. This folder tells you about
many of the recreational features of
the southern Cascades. The map
will guide you to them and to the
enjoyment of many leisure hours.

GUARDS FUTURE WITH
LIBERTY BONDS

"In this age of unrest, it is good
business policy to safeguard our fu-
ture responsibilities with government
securities" That represents the at
titude of the Order of Maintenance
Employees, an organization Of rail-
way men, expressed through its presi-
dent, W. v. Stafford.
The stand taken by the order was
expressed in q communication from
Mr.. Stafford to the Savings Division
of the Treasury Department an
nouncing that the organization had
purchased $4,000 in Liberty Bonds
in the open market. These purchases
were not isolated investments but
followed the general financial policy
of the railway employees. Mr.. Stat
ford declared Liberty Bonds would
be sound as long as anything is sound
and that if the majority of Ameri-
cans hold these securities, they neces-
sarily must be interested in the sta
bility Of the government.
In his letter, Mr.. Stafford said in
part: eve do not wait for conven-
tions, but from time to time invest
our money in accordance with the
recommendation of the officers and,
to be brief, since the United States
first issued a call for loans from its
people, we have put every cent of our
surplus into United States war Sc
curi:ies. Since the closing of the
Victory Loan we have purchased
$4,000 in the open market.
eve shall follow this policy be-
cause we believe that in this age of
unrest it is a good business policy to
our future responsibilities
with government securities. They
will be sound as long as anything is
sound.
eve also believe it is patriotic to
encourage the citizen to invest in
government securities directly or in
If the majority of our peo-
pie hold government bonds, then the
majority certainly are interested in
the stability of the government.
"1n our small way we shall be not
only glad, but proud of the oppor-
tunity to aid, so far as possible, in !
carrying out the governments plans
as outlined by the Treasury Depart
ment."
