The mighty son of Trap Rock carried close to half ton on his back, whipped the greatest horses in training and smashe ed one mark after another. Lu cullite won a half dozen races in row and became heralded as the Won- der horse of the year."
 Then Hildreth sent him to the Mary land tracks where it was figured that Lucillite would have some of the big gest stake races at his mercy. But in his first two starts the brown colt has been a failure.

Champion Is Training Joe Benjamin to Succeed Him as the Lightweight
 TitlehOlder

Benny Leonard. champion lightweight of the world, and his manager, Billy Gibson. have adopted a new system for clearing their paths of opponents They have taken Joe Benjamin, of San Francisco under their wing and will develop him to take Leonard's crown when the latter is beaten or decides to retire from the prize ring. Benja min made the greatest showing against Leonard of any of the aspirants during the past year, and is regarded as real championship timber by both Leonard and Gibson
 This is the first time in the his- tory of the lightweight crown that a champion has picked up a lad for the purpose of developing him for the
 championship, and the incident has created more speculation in fistic cir cles than any other which has oc- cured in the past year or two.
 Benjamin, in a four-round bout with the champion in California on the oc- casion of Leonard's tour to the Pacific coast not only held his own but man aged to mark the champion for several weeks Benjamin is a diamond in the rough, and is certainly one of the greatest the game has ever produced In the east some critics are wont 10 accept the acton or Leonard ana Gibson a signal of fear for Ben jamins prowess, while others declare the California lad has blighted his own chances, Benjamin evidently does not share either view. He feels compli- mented that Leonard should condescend to assist him to greatness in his chosen work, and confidently believes he will, under the new arrangement more rap idly rise to the dizzy heights of the padded glove sport.
 There can be no question but that Gibson and Leonard can wise Ben jamin to many tricks of the trade that will be of value to him. Leon ard is one of the greatest rulers of the lightweight roost in the past 20 years. Some of the blase students, however. merely give Billy Gibson credit for preparing another meal ticket. and also for his ability to put the proposition over with Leonard. Verify, some strange and interesting things occur in these trying times. From the Atlanta Constitution.

The quizz finally was settled in a $30,000 match race at Laurel. Md. Eternal won and was ac- claimed the ruler. Great things were expected of him in 1919; it was thought that he would do even more thrilling things as 3-year-old than he had done in 1918. But Eternal was persistently beaten through 1919 and finally was re- tired to the stud.
 Campfire, the champion 2-year-oid of 1916. and Dunboyne, winner of the 1918 futurity, are the two other in- stances along the same line. Campfire wasn't worth his acts as racer in 1917, and was retired. Dunboyne, ex- pected by his owner to do miracle things in 1919, was a failure of co- lossaI variety.

AND TECH
 HIGH ID MEET IN
 ATLANTA SATURDAY
Locals Will Journey to the Windy City to Meet Heisman's Junior
 Aggregation

Central High School Crimsons are mak- ing preparations for the game with Tech High in Atlanta, game which will un- doubtedly prove the hardest on Central's s schedule for this year Coach Burbage will take chances whatever on this game. which is to be played Saturday and will send every man on his team into the game in the very best of con- dition.
 The Tech High team is said to be the strongest prep team ill the south, and they have defeated many exceptionally good high school elevens this season. So far the Tech team has not suffered a single defeat.
 The locals will be outweighed many pounds to the man. The Tech team is said to have many of the qualities and characteristics of the big Tech college team, as Coach Heisman more or less has the smaller aggregation under his wing. and s1pervses the training of this eleven. Tech High is a strong contender for the title of championship of Georgia having met the Revirside team of that state and playing this eleven to a tie. The title rests between the two teams
 The Crimsons sprung big surprise last Saturday. when they defeated the strong <AiiilAoICAi I GU tcdHL It Wdo oOiuClnlHb OI an upset, as the locals were doped to lose to the Annistou boys.

 Never before has there been so much confidence in the Maroon and White camp that the Aggies would win from their old foes at Auburn as there is this year, with perhaps the best bunch of material that has ever worn the Maroon and White. A. and NJ. has won from every opponent without any par ticular eXertion. Both Tennessee and Louisiana were badly outplayed, al- though the score was only to in each case, muddy and slippery field operating to hold down the score. With other contests on the Maroon's schedule have been nothing more than prac- tice sessions, and the team has yet to be forced to it's limit to win.
 AUBURN VICTORIES
 This will be the eighth game be- tween A. and NJ. and Auburn to be staged in Birmingham, and with few exceptions these games have been very close and hard. While Auburn has merged victorious from former games, this has served only to arouse the de- termination of this years eleven to be the first to break the long string of Auburn victories, and to add Auburn to the list of southern teams that have gone down in defeat before the Maroons.
 While comparative dope gives A. and M. an edge over Auburn, Coach Rob- inson and his team realize that it will require every last ounce of fight and all of their resources to win from the powerful Auburn machine. and there is no trace of over-confidence in the Ma rooms camp.
 They have faced too many giant Au- burn elevens not to know that they are in for their hardest battle of the year when they meet Coach Donahues squad at Redwood park this week. However, there is quiet air of confi- dence among the team and the student body that this is A. and Ms year to lick Auburn. They know that Auburn

DELAY AT PARIS.

The outbreak of BOlshevism in Hungary has swelled
the chorus of criticism here and abroad of the unwar
ranted delay" of the peace conference.
1t is highly desirable everybody agrees, to bring
the to close and announce definite and final peace
terms as soon as possible has been desirable from the
moment the armistce was signed Many of the critics.
however, not fair to the peace conference They
ignore the vast amount of work and the unprecedented
problems confronting that body and they ignore the his
tory of similar bodies in the past.
The best known parallel of the present diplomatic
gathering in Paris is the congress Of Vienna which met
1914 to shape Europe out of the wreckage of the
NapoeOnc wars Its task not great that of the
present Paris conference but it Of much the
nature
That congress in session about nine months from
September 1874 to June 1875 1t would have taken lon
ger for the job if Napoleon had not haSened its cOncu
sion by returning from Ebaan incident roughly para
lei to the present appearance of new war menace in
Hungary
1t is no less instructive to compare the record of the
peace conference with that of the commission which pre-
pared the SpanshAmercan peace treaty in 1893 That
was small and uncompcated affair and the task of the
peace commissioners was made all the simpler by the fact
that of the important questions had been settled in
the preliminary agreement or protocol of August r.
Nevertheless it took the commission sitting in Paris two
months and twelve days to finish its work That was
exactly four months after the signing of the protocol
From present indications, the peace conference will
probably finish its task time this month"; despite
ported complications and if it does only three months
will have been consumed five months from the sign
in gof the amistce which ended the worlds greatest
war If it does so well as this anywhere near it. the
conference will deserve the admiration of the world in
stead of its criticism.

AUTOMOBILE PROMOTES BUSINESS.

The automobile industry is now one of the most i'm
portant in the country Hundreds of millions of dollars
invested in it, and hundreds of thousands of work
men employed by it.
Here in Salem, the center of the great Willamette
Valley the automobile business has expanded wonderfully
during the past year. which is the natural thing to expect
in central location like that possessed by this city, The
completion of the good roads program being arrang
ed will make this the logical distribution point for large
thcdy settled and prosperous part of western Oregon
and the business here will increase very materially
its present proportions although very large bbsiness is
transacted in automobiles and machine accessories
The automobile business has reyOlutionized living
standards and methods Of transactng business and over
turned the old order in many ways Ii has not however
brought about the calamtes that many predicted only
few years ago would occur as result of the automO
mobile "crazebecause it was not craze but era
of progress in the manner and methods of doing business
and the Inauguration Of different standard of living
Some businesses suffered during the re-adustment to
the conditions but that has passed. and cities like
Salem are enjoying renewed commercial activity because
OF the automobile industry Hundreds of highly paid
mechanics and other employees kept busy here, and
scores of buildings filled with automobile concerns The
automobile industry makes business because all business
is created by the activity of the people in a community or
commonwealth and by interchangng their wares buy
ing and selling and thus keeping money in constant ccu
lation. For instance Salem might be the richest city in
the world per CAPITA and yet if the people stayed in their
homes and kept their money boarded away out of crcu
atiOn would also be the deades" place on earth from
business standpoint People must stir about bargain
trade and spend money in order to create business.
The automobile is expensive. 1t costs money to rum
it and this fact coupled with the fact that it has made
business and industry move rapidly than before
it came into of the principal causes Of the great
advance made in all lines Of industry and business in re-
cent years.
The automobile business is great crculator of money
and productive of more activity than any other agency
on earth The reason the automobile has to stay isl
because now living upon an automobile standard
and doing business at hghpOwered bber-tired speed
and this is country that slaekens its pace We
will not return to the horsedrawn vehicle either on the
