the officer replied, in a sassy"

Overtime Parking
Overtime parking brings the ma

they admit their guilt, the drivers
are allowed to pay 50, and if hey

When Over Walls.
Nv United Press leased Wire

SALEM, Ore, July 3. Every
available man at the state prison
here was engaged today in man
hunt for the four convicts who yes
tcrday afternoon obtained a ladder
being used on construction work and
scaled the prison wall, making their
escape while within sight Of three
guard towers.
The men are Richard Moore. FL
lott Michener and Richard Fran
2ien of Multnomah county, and Wal
ter Fisher Of jefferson county. All
four were doing time for assault
while armed with deadly weapons
and all were serving ten year sem
tenceS except Fisher, who was serv-
ing l. wears.
Conflicting rumOrs have bothered
the man hunters somewhat, as the
convicts have been reported seen
in Woodburn, Oregon City and var
ious points on the Pacific highway.
1t is thought the men are driving
a Ford automobile, as Il few minutes
after the escape the Ford touring
car of Louis Lovre of Salem was
missing. Shortly thereafter telc-
phone call to thea prison said that
the men, in prison garb, had been
seen entering the car.
The break for liberty occurred
early in the afternoon, the dash over
the wall being made about half way
bewoen guard towers numbers and
p. 1t was well timed, as the guard
from tower number ; was absent for
few moments on other duties.

not resign at this time but that
question might arise at any time

Somewhat discouraged with the

Failure of congress to pass the

cocktails at dinners and parties no
longer invite the general to their
social functions when intoxieants
are served. Therefore he misses
many social invitations.

Discusses Advantages of
Education From Both
Angles of Life.
SPEAKS OF EARNINGS
Earning Power of the
Educated Youth is Con-
sidered Secure.

, In discussing III" material adj
vantage of education Professor
House, principal of Central Union
high school, said today:
" We often hear the question ask
cd, dors ii paE TO go to co|'cge?
This question i in the minds Of
many people aud We hear il dis
cusscd from different angles. 1t is
n question that is Of supreme i'm
poftancc to all yomg people and
their parents and particularly TO
those yomg people who have recent
ly graduated from high school and
who arc prepared t. enter college.
IN considering Il college cduca-
tiGn perhaps the financial adVaut-
age or increased earning power is
the phase that comes to the minds
of most people first. At amy rate
il * outstanding and il readily un-
dcrstood by all of us, although there
are other important considerations
to bear in mind.
" Many separate aud independent
invest. cations have been madc in
different pa-s o the country into
ll' '' Hii4H fdi difa'IlA 'i ulGH N'H'Ni
and college trained people as com
pared with those Of only elementary
schooling. Even the most conscrva.
tive estimates showed that the high
school graduate earns on the aver
age 5000 per year more than tn" man
with only an elementary school cdu-
eaton. From the age of 20 to the
age of "a his increased earning Will
amount to S27 900 or $3.50 per day
for the four wears in high school.
The college graduate earns on the
average Of $500 per year more
than the man VITA #u elementary
education. In - years his incrcaS-
cd earning will amoun; to S67, 300
more than the eighth grade gradu-
ate and sac, 5000 more than the high
school graduate Looking at il in
another way We may say that the
$500 iucrc2Scd canning power OF
the college trained man is cqulVa-
lent to net annual income of o
ser cent on $4,000.
Education Beats Cash
" Even if parents were able TO be-
stow Il cash endowment of $4,000 TO
S3O,OOO upon their sons aud dauGh-
tcrs they could not be sure that it
would be wisely and safely invested
bat tn" education and earning pow

IDENTIFY a college education which in
most eases is possible since the first
two wears can be done here at home
in the junior college would be more
advantageous than such a cash en-
dowmcnt If the endowment were
possible.
''Somc recent Investigations are
even more impressive. According to
Investigations made by Boston I'm

OF the unframed man is $1,000, of
