CONKLIN BACK FROM TRIP.
Dr. E. S. Conklin returned Tuesday
from a general extension trip through
eastern Oregon. He spoke to about
12Cb students in the several high schools
that he visited, as well as four or five
hundred adults. In his trip he included
the towns of Baker, La Grande, The
Dalles, Pendleton and Hood River.
Warren D. Smith Will Teach
Field Work and Map
Making Here.
Men Must Be Trained for U. S.
Engineering Jobs in Case
of War, He Says.
Volunteers for the University student
corps in field tactics and map making,
which will be organised under the lead
ership of Dr. Warren D. Smith, of the
department of geology, will be called for
as soon as necessary preliminary plans
and a working scheme are perfected by
the committee in charge.
Besides the committee previously
named, consisting of I >r. Smith, .T. I ’.
Thorne, Dean E. \V. Allen and II. K
Kingsbury, the suggestion has beer
made that Ben Williams, who has s-en
military service in the United States
army, and Coach Hayward of the physi
cal training department of the Univer
sity, lie authorized to act. The com
mittee will meet tomorrow evening and
consider plans for the organization on
the campus.
“Membership in the field corps will lie
absolutely voluntary,” said Dr. Smith
yesterday, “and no drill will be required.
I)r. Smith also declared that no prac
tical experience in running drifts for
mine planting will be given, as prev
iously stated. Instead, only discussion
of various phases of the planting of ex
plosives will be included in the work he
intends to give,”
The plan is to train men to be aide to
work into the governmtnt engineering
corps, according to Dr. Smith. Al
though they will not actually be fitted
for an immediate position in the engin
eering service in case of war, he says,
the work he has in min will make it

easier for them to work in. The gov
ernment would need thousands of able
men in the field and map making corps
in case of war, according to I>r. Smith.
It is a valuable opening, he says.
The class will begin with a study of
the geological formations of the coast,
and particularly the value of rock for
mations for fortifications. Preliminary
practice in map-making and reading and
practice it. the use of the compass will
take up several class periods. It is
planned to take extensive hikes during
week-ends and camp out with the class
in regular military lashion in order ;o
make first-hand study of the country
and geological formations.
Although he has not seen military
service in Cuba or the Philippines, as
lias been stated, Dr. Smith was with
the troops in the Philippines during the
Spanish-American war as a mineralogi
cal expert. He has had, however, two
years military training in the University
of Wisconsin. Dean E. W. Allen also
drilled in the same University.
It is expected th t the project, con
ceived by Dr. Smith will be greatly en
couraged by the assistance of University
men who have been raining in the Coast
artillery corps of the Oregon National
Guard in Eugene. More than 25 stu
dents belong to the Second company
alone.
A large number of them have had
special training at the armory in plot
ting and other military maneuvering.
WILLIAMS SEEKING
ARMY AVAILABLES
To have n list of men skilled in such
things as running launches, driving auto
mobiles and doing mechanic's work ready
and available in time of war, blanks were
distributed among the students of the
University at the class meetings yester
day. These blanks are to be filled out and
returned to Ben Williams, adjutant at
the University, as soon as possible.
The questions were sent out by the
Intercollegiate Intelligence Bureau of
Washington, D. C. 'Phis is an organiza
tion of college men which was formed
February 10 by Dr. William McClellan,
dean of the Wharton School at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. Oregon was to
be represented at the meeting by Repre
sentative C. N. McArthur but lie was
detained in Washington on legislative
business. The Oregon committee on
gathering the material is composed of
Ben Williams, adjutant, Professors K.
S. Conklin, W. 1). Smith and students,
Don Holding and Lewis Beebe.
The actual records ore filed by the
adjutant. In case men were needed for
| certain duties all of this information
I wodld be available for the war depart
It would send to the colleges for the
uient. It would send to the colleges for the
| files the adjutant could fill the ord'-r.
In this way much time would be saved
in getting our military organization per
fected.
Some of the questions relate to know
ledge of navigation, automobiles, swim
ming ability and any previous military
or naval training.
Late yesterday afternoon the sopho
mores were the only ones to turn in their
slips. Nearly all of them had turned in
replies. The questions are being sent out
to the alumni this week.
Will Be Instructed in Military
Training, First Aid, So
cial Service.
Not to bo outdone by the men in pre
paring to fit themselves to render ser
vices to their country in case of war,
the young women of the University are
enlisting in the Girls’ Honor Guard of
Eugene, organized February 28. The
Question of joining the Guard was sub
mitted to the girls in the different hous
es at house meeting Monday night. The

Dunn, acting president; Ruth Dorris,
vice-president; Helen Fnails, secretary;
Echo Zahl, publicity manager; Louise

John Huston, Collector of Kitties For
“Cat Lab”—Felines fire Well Treated
Many a rheumatic remnant of the once
ferocious i.iul dauntless 1>m ed of feliues
known as the “alley eat" and many a
strayed bowhiskered \ ait’ finds its last
resting place in a formaldehyde vat in the
anatomy labratory at Head. hall. When
ever a. family pet becomes so old as o
In’ better off in some other world than
this it has been the ustom for its owner
to notify the I'niversity to send .. man
after it.
To John Houston has fallen this pain
ful duty during the last two years, lie
usually takes an assistant with him in
case the pussy proven fractious and
brings the cat hack to the laboratory
where it is chloroformed and dissected.
The animals are not mistreated in any
way, as many persons are led to suspeu.
Their death is entirely painless and they
are given the best of care. One woman
requested that her eat be kept warm
until it vas killed and pussy was care
fully put in a warm box of straw ..s long
as she wn alive. Site was so old as .o
be almost antique. Her name was dan,
and Iter coat was an unlovely black and
yellow one. Kor years she had resided
on a couch by the ’iving room stove. If
Jicr mistress was resting there and dan ■
wanted room the mistress always gave
up possession. And so. the eat slept taere
day in and day out until she got old and
her joints were ha.all,, joints tit all.
Nothing was left for her hut the pickling
vat.
[ Once two kittens ran away from home
i and were sent to ihe l’t: versify. Their
! owner heard about them and came to
! Heady hall to rescue tie pets before it
was too late. When she saw them wait
ing with several others in a box she
picked them up and kissed them and call
ed them affectionate names.
"How can you stand it?” she asked
a friend who had come with her. With
that she turned her head away saying,
"Take the poor things up and torture
them,” and left the room wiping her
eyes. This, however, was the case of
misunderstanding; the cats are not tor
tured. The nearest one ever came to
suffering pain was when he had not
been given enough chloroform. He start
ed to recover eonseii usttess, and the boys
fearing to hurt him u ed other means
than the drug to put him out of the way.
A great many people refuse to give
cats uv ay which they had intended loll
ing. One woman said she would not
i take a "millflm dollars” fot her eat.
| which statement might be somewhat >\
j aggerated. Mr. Huston says the only
! person ho never had argued with about
; the question was a deaf and dumb man
who had a box full of kittens on his
i frout porch. The cat collector stopped
i and spelled "cats” on h’s fingers. The
i other man spelled “rats” on his and pre
1 sented all but two of the pussies to
| Huston.
