ReflectOrs an
 Aid to Safety
StOeckel Points to Their Effectiveness on
 Highways

With fall driving conditions at hand, when large part of traf- fic Is often under conditions when lights are needed, it seems well. says Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Robbins B. Stoeckel to call attention to one or two par ticular problems of this period.
 Drivers of vehicles other than motor vehicles" he adds should realize, especially, that they are in serious danger unless lights are carried according to law. It Is a simple matter for a farmer, or for anyone who still uses horses, to carry light on his wagon.
 Tt is now possible at slight expense to supplement a light by installation of one or more units of the button type reflector. These are now so good in manufacture and in response to direct light that there can be no doubt of actual accomplishment and that each on- coming automobile receives notice of the presence of the other ve- hicle. Every vehicle on the high way ought to be marked both front and rear, and it might possibly save some of the collisions in which horses are victims if the headstall of each horse could have such a reflector upon 1t.
 Tt is interesting to note how extensively reflectors are coming into use. Merchants and certain notion stores are offering a re- Hector for sale which can be used by a pedestrian. This is an innovation and may produce a most interesting result. Many in telligent people who walk on high ways after dark recognize and make preparation for situa- tions where they may not be read fly seen by an oncoming car oper- ator. A recent instance is known where a lady dressed in black, knowing that she might be invis- ible to an oncoming car on that account carried her handkerchief in her hand and fluttered it each time car came along. This was entirely effective. Whether pedes- trians will ever arrive at the point where they can be induced to wear reflector buttons or whether 1t is even advisable and proper is open for discussion, but everything which can be done by a pedestrian to show the motor vehicle oper- ator that he is there, ought to be done.
 The principle of effectiveness is essential to bring obedience to law. It will be remembered that two or three years ago a driver of a horse and wagon who was ar rested for not having his light proved that he did have light and that it was lighted. but on cross examination it developed he had it wound up in a blanket to keer his feet warm. That is not obedi- ence of the law.
 ''The persons who are on the highway in slow vehicle such as a horse and wagon, or as pedes- trians. at night, should know that they owe protection to them. selves by obedience to the law. Even though the use of reflector does not excuse a person from also carrying a light. yet 1t is an addi' tional safeguard. and 1t is well foi some of these people who are ir dangerous situatoins after dark tc remember that there is q rumor tc the effect that when you are dead you are dead for long time."

The rain last night and today caused much inconvenience to people engaged in out of door oper- ations, but it helped the springs and also the firemen from being on the jump an; e. ag calf to bat tie with brush fires. Regardless of the number of slickers seen about town today, the umbrella was also much in evidence, so that no mat ter how many new inventions there may be to guard against rain, the umbrella is as popular and useful as ever.

DORTLAND, Greg, December
r. 4.-Only in the South, in
4 California and in the Pacific
Northwest does the foot ball
season extend beyond the Satur-
day after Thanksgiving, and the
Northwest teams bring their long
schedule to a close this week with
three games, two of which are in
tersectional contests.
washington goes to Los Angeles to
play Southern California in the only
Conference game Of the three, which
also is the final one on the Coast Con-
ference listing. The championship al
ready Is settled In favor of Southern
California's Trojans. Even a Wash
ington victory could not deprive them
of the title. The one thing at stake
is Washington's ambition to make q
good showing after a not too satisfac-
tory season.
Trojans Should Be Ready.
A week earlier Washington might
have been quite a menace, for this
would have caught Southern California
on the reaction from the Notre Dame
game. With two full weeks in which
TO recuperate from that streSSful con-
flict, however, there is not much danger
now that Washington will find the Tro-
jams out Of form.
Washington probably will be minus
the services of Bill Marsh, her sturdy
quarterback and left-handed passer.
He is suffering from chronic appen-
dicitiS. 1t viii be the last varsity foot
ball game for Merle Hufford, Washing
tons flying halfback, and for Paul
Schwegler, her great tackle.
Washington States game at New Or
leans against Tulane is the one thing
that stands in the way of a season Of
unbroken victories for Tulane, and q
probable invitation to play Southern
California at Pasadena New Years day.
On the respective records Of the two
elevens, Tulane appears much the
stronger but Pacific Coast teams have
a way of rising to unexpected heights
in intersectional contests.
The key to Washington States Of
fensive can hardly help but be the
passing of George Sander, whose puz-
zling toSses we're the difference between
victory and defeat in the four Confer
ence games Washington State has won.
Even in the three defeats, Sander wor-
ried his opponents greatly especially
California. He has a most deceptive
passing style, is a strong and exception
ally cool and accurate thrower, and is
assisted by two remarkable receivers in
