GAME LAWS PROTECT
AND INCREASE SUPPLY
Alfred Shelton, Field Zoologist,
Reports That Under Regula
tion Animals Multiplying.
With the ending, Saturday, of the
open season for duck shpotihg, there
comes a. resume of what protection has
been doing for the birds and fame
within the state.
That the present restrictions are pro
tecting, and that some birds and animals
known to have been scarce are becom
ing more plentiful is the .eport of Mr.
Alfred Shelton, of the zoology depart
ment of the University of Oregon, a
field zoologist who is considered an au
thority on animal life.
Fur Animats Also Included
Mr. Shelton's frequent trips, the last
of which was made during the Christ
mas holidays on snowshoes to Clear
lake, at the head of the McKenzie river,
have brought him in contact with the
conditions.
According to Mr. Shelton, measures re
cently put through and doing the most
good are the reduction of the bag limit,
no sale of game, and the prohibition of
shooting and using plumages in the mil
inary trade. In many sections of the
state there is an especially noticeable in
crease of grouse and quail. And swan
and wild turkey, which were becoming
extinct, the protection will probably
save.
Makes Trips on Snowshoes
“Pheasants are increasing rapidly, and
hunters express the opinion thnt if well
protected and taken care of, they will
become one of the leading game birds
of the state,” says Mr. Shelton. “The
present law gives good protection and at
the snrae time is lenient with the hunt
ers. Pheasants are easily propogated,
and leniency on this bird will protect the
smaller quail and grouse.”
Next turning his attention to the an
imals, Mr. Shelton speaks of the in
crease in the beavers as an excellent ex
ample of what game laws can do. Bea
vers have so increased and the senti
ment for an open season on them was so
strong at the last session of the legisla
ture, tlmt residents of the valleys can
hunt and sell them, under the supervis
ion of the fish and game commission.
They are yet protected in the mountain
communities, where they can do no dam
age.
"From reports and from my own ob
servation, the rigid protection is doing
good for the deer,” the zoologist says.
“The rise in numbers, greatest in the
mountains, is made possible by the
bounty on cougar, wildcats, and wolves,
which arc' the worst of predatory ani
mnls, and which are rapidly being killed
off.
Protection of Pheasants Urged
“The protection of the fur-bearing
mammals is important and apt to be
overlooked. The furs are of such high
quality that Oregon has taken a place
far up as a producing state. But. in re
cent years, the animals in the high Cas
cades have been so much trapped that it
lias been necessary to inflict a closed
season, and to issue special licenses. The
open season is now sufficiently long,
and allows the best trapping in the win
ter season for the prime hides.”
From the standpoint of the fisherman,
Mr. Shelton says the laws are doing good
work, because streams and lakes in the
Cascades, which a few years ago had no
fisli whatever, are now teeming with
trout that weigh up to four and five
pounds each.

AND ALUMNAE MEETING
Letter From First President of the As
' sooiatien Will Be Read. Tea
Will Be Served.
At the Y. W. C. A. banquet Thursday
evening, Miss Mozelle Hair described
how they used to serve snlad and soup
and jsandwiches, sometimes, to get the
girls out to meetings. That was when
meetings were held in what is now Pro
fessor George O’Donnell’s class room.
And mow it seems that the custom is to
he revived. For at the pioneer and alum
nae meeting which will be held at the
bungalow, Tuesday afternoon, refresh
ments nre again to be served—that is—
tea. And perhaps other things.
This meeting will be one more of the
event's in the month of celebration of the
national Y. W. C. A.’s fiftieth anniver
sary.- Mrs. Willa Hanna Beattie, class
of 1805, who was the first president of
the local association, will send a letter,
it is expected. She is living in Juneau,
Alaska. Frances Shoemaker has ar
ranged a history of the association since
1804, which will be read. Miss Mary
Watson will have charge of the meeting.
All girls are invited to attend.
Wesleyan Students Celebrate.
Twio hundred undergraduates at Wes
leyani guarded the gates of the campus
from daybreak last week and persuaded
all their classmates to cut classes in eele
b rat ion of a basketball victory. The joy
ous Wesleyauites, headed by a hand, par
aded through the streets, despite efforts
of the faculty.
I* _!_ PRESS NOTES j
The Savoy theatre present the wonder
fid story of “The Painted Soul.”
A young artist paints a picture intend
ed to'portray the awakening of a soul,
lie calls the picture "The Resurrection.”
The painting not only creates a sensa
tion, tout is the means of brining about
the regeneration of a girl of the under
world, one of the artist’s models, whom
be hap rescued from the slums, and who
watches the picture, entranced, as she
posesjin his studio. When the artist falls
in love with his model, his worldly
minded mother tells her that she is un
fit toibe her son's wife. Whereupon the
girl rleaolves to cure the artist of his
passion by sacrificing herself on the altar
of hepr great love. This she accom
plishes by allowing herse'i to be com
promised and afterward arrested on a
trumped-up charge. The artist leaves
her in despair. The girl’s own resur
rection follows as she starts on her
lonely pathway up to a higher and bet
ter life.

FORD’S PEACE STUDENTS
WILL ISSU^ “CHALLENGE”
War Challenge? No, A Paper Which Will
Forty-two of the 186 people who went
on the Ford peace expedition were Am
erican students, and it may be ask^d
what did these students get from each
other og such a trip. One^ direct result
of their association will'soon appear in
the form of the first number of “The
Challenge.” This paper, which will be
published in New York, with a staff of
10 editors, five of whom were on the peace
mission, will discuss student problems
that affect the whole country. The first
issue will be a peace number.
The 42 students represented 35 univer
sities. The university of Nebraska had
three representatives. Two of them had
already taken somq part in peace work,
and were invited personally. No other in
stitution had more1 than two.
Paciflo Coast Sends Three
On the coast, the University of Wash
ington was represented by Emil Hurja,
editor of the Washington daily; Univer
sity of Oregon by Lamar Tooze, president
of the student body; University of Cal
ifornia by Paul Fussell, chairman of the
Welfare committee; Stanford Univer
sity by A. J. Hettinger, Jr. Lamar Tooze
describes the latter as able, brilliant, and
an excellent debater.
As to the attitude of the students of
the party toward their own institutions,
Mr. Tooze says he1 was most struck by
their air of detachment. Many seemed
to look at their college not as a place to
develop ideas of living and government,
but as a great manufactory of learning.
He said that he became best acquainted
with Donald M. Lo,ve, the Oberlin repre
sentative, with whcjm he roomed. All of
them he found were very congenial. He
said he noticed one great difference be
tween them and the European students
—the latter are much the more radical.
He discovered that European students in
most cases use very good English. The
party visited the Universities at Stock
holm and Copenhagen and a Copenhagen
commercial school. “The buildings we
found often more artistic than our own,”
Mr. Tooze said, “but they haven’t as
many fts we have, aud I suspect they
aren’t as good or as convenient as ours."”
All of the students did not return.
Earl Tucker, University of Syracuse,
who is a friend of Mrs. Mabel H. Parsons,
remained as a secretary on the business
staff of the neutral conference. Two
students stayed to go into the Belgian
relief work. i

The Two-Button Extreme English Sack shown on the left is
the new advanced English design of the season, particularly
fashioned to meet the taste of the younger set. Exceedingly
narrow shoulders, snug body following, yet so designed as
not to pinch or bind to excess. Very high waist effect of
the true English garment. Trousers are straight hanging.
Patch pockets or plain.
The Three-Button Semi-Conservative Sack on the right
is not so extreme as the one above, the English lines being
somewhat modified throughout. The lapel rolls over the
first button. Note especially the skillful designing'of the
wide collar with the exceedingly narrow notch.
We are showing a wide range of patterns for either of
these new models, moderately priced from.$18 to $40
