he present method Of making
good roads is to pillow them down the

This provides a smooth, resilient

the money wasted on chewing gum,
false hair and skin foods, but it

Oregon Minister Succeeds in
Breaking Coast Record.
Rev. MIR. Spearow, Member Of Mutt

A minister of the Gospel broke tne
Pacific coast record in the pole vault
and is considered a promising candi

Sunday finds Rev. Mr.. Spearow de-
livering sermons to large-sized con
gregations, in which young men and
boys are conspicuously present. He is
adOred by the youth of Portland, who
regard him as an athlete who breaches
ION the side" not as a preacher with
an athletic bent.
Monday finds the young minister out
on the athletic field keeping up his
training. He is an all-round star, with
special ability at the high jump and
broad jump as well as the pole vault,
and is also an excellent sprinter.
Rev. Mr.. Spearow's coast record was
made recently in track meet held at
Tacoma. He scared over the bar at
the dizzying height of 10 feet and 3-S
inches, the first time any coast vaulter
had ever exceeded 13 feet The former
record was held by Sam Bellah, of
Stanford university.
The worlds record stands at Is feet
2A inches.
Rev. Mr.. Spearow at the Tacoma
meet won the high jump at 6 feet 2
inches, which is some jump, and did %

Rev Mr.. Spearow frankly attributes !
his success, not to coaching, but |
He has never been in the
hands of an expert coach, but worked
out his own methods entirely. Prayer,
ne says, carries him over the bar.
