And when the centurion heard it, he went to the chief captain and told him, say ing, What art thou about to do? for this man is a Roman. And the chief captain came and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? And he said, Yea. And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained 1 this citizenship. And Paul said, But 1 am a ROMAN born.” This was nearly two thousand years ago. Paul boast ed of his citizenship, lie was “a Roman born”. We are horn citizens of the United States, the great est nation that the world has ever seen. Are we also proud of our citizenship? Do we value it for what it is worth ? Our country is calling on us to subscribe for Liberty Bonds. Are we doing our part? The banks of Eugene have arranged so that any stu dent can purchase a $50.00 Liberty Bond bv paying $5.00 down and $5.00 a month for nine months there after. These bonds are the best security in the world. Every student should own a bond or at least have an interest in a bond. If you belong to a fraternity or sorority and do not feel able to meet the cost of a bond yourself, see that your society, purchases a bond and that you have an interest in that bond.

Brauer & Conley Cor. 9th and Oak Cor. 9th and Oak CONSIDER THE CLAM, ALL YE WHO WOULD CONSERVE FOOD Lowly Bivalve Placed in Same Class With Lordly Oyster by Professor Edmondson—Recommended as Meat Substitute. People who are inclined to pass by the clam as an article of diet are miss ing something, according to C. H. Ed mondson, of the department of zoology at the University of Oregon, who rec ommends the clam as equally palat able with the oyster and similar in havor. Professor Edmondson, at the direc tion of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, spent the past summer mak ing an investigation of the shellfish resources of the northwest coast. Strong appeals are being made by the government to every household, hotel, and public caterers everywhere to reduce the consumption of red meats, beef, pork and mutton, that our soldiers and the soldiers of our ai des may be fed. The Bureau of Fisheries has, there fore, been encouraging the use of fish and shellfish as partial substitutes for the meats to which people have been accustomed. Shellfish Are Recommended. The suggestion of the government is to substitute shellfish occasionally to replace the red meats needed for the army, not to use them for a steady diet. “The purposes of the survey,” said Professor Edmondson, “were to de termine the species of edible shellfish; where they may be obtained in quan tity; to co-operate with those inter ested in marketing this product of the sea; and to initiate a line of inves tigation looking forward to a more complete knowledge of the life histo ries of these shellfish. Little is known concerning the time of spawning, the early development, the rapidity of growth, time of maturity or length of life of the edible clams of our coast. The more light thrown on the life his tory of any organism the more pos sible will become an intelligent con-' trol along lines of greater conserva-' tion or increased production.” Tn the course of the survey, Profes-i sor Emondson traversed the coast, of: Oregon from a few miles south of Bandon to the mouth of the Columbia, making observations on all the im portant rivers, bays and inlets and noting the location and relative abun ! dance of edible shellfish. The survey 1 also extended along the Washington coast as far north as Gray’s Harbor. Limited to Edible Clams. The investigations were limited al most wholly to the edible clams, which field in itself is a very large one. There are seven species of clams on this coast, according to Professor Ed mondson, which are used for food more or less commonly. Besides these j there are the sea mussels which cling to the rocks, exceedingly abundant in certain localities, but not made use [ of to any great extent, and the rock borers, considered by many a great delicacy. “For the most part,” he said, “the clams of highest economic value are confined to the tide flats of bays and rivers. One of the largest and most abundant bivalves of the Northwest coast is the great blue or Washington clam, which has a very wide distri bution on the Oregon coast, being es pecially abundant in the lower Ya quina river and obtainable in almost all of the important bays southward to Coos Bay. This clam, however, has not yet found its way into the Siuslaw river. The eastern or mud clam has become a permanent resident in nearly all the bays along the Oregon coast. The finest are found in the Siuslaw river between Florence and Acme. Here it is very abundant to the exclu sion of other varieties. This clam is one of the very best. Netarts Bay is well supplied with excellent food clams. Tillamook Bay is famous for its large cockles and maintains a clam tannery of small caapcity. Razor Clams Growing Scarce. “For the past two years razor clams have become exceedingly scarce throughout the length of our coast. While a few may still be taken at ^ Jimes here and there, many places where they were formerly very abun dant they are now entirely extinct. The chief cause is probably the shift ing of the sand which has literally torn out the beds of clams and de stroyed them or washed them out into deeper water. South of Newport, where there were extensive beds of razor clams a few years ago, the beach !s now swept clean of sand down to the hard rock. “Probably many persons living in the Willamette valley do not know how cheap they may obtain fresh shellfish from nearby coast towns. “It is gratifying to note that the quantity of shellfish shipped from the coast to inland points is on the in crease and that steady markets are be ing established in numerous Willam ette valley owns for this sea food. Must Conserve Supply. ‘We are not only concerned with the present status of the resources of shellfish on our coast, but we must learn how to intelligently conserve,1 protect and cultivate, in order that with an increasing demand the pro duction may not be lessened.” With this object in view, Professor Edmondson has initiated lines of ex perimental work at Florence and New port in the natural clam beds. “These experiments,” he said, “require a great deal of time to carry out satisfactorily. Results cannot be obtained at once. Investigations are also being carried on in the laboratories of the state University with the hope of deter mining some factors which may in the future be of material value in the production of this important sea food.” COUNCIL IS SEEKING TO AROUSE INTEREST FRED PACKWOOD CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO REVIVE OLD-TIME EN THUSIASM. Visiting Teams Will be Entertained; Books Will be Gathered for Soldiers. ! Fred Packwood, appointed by Pres ident Sheeliy to till the place on the student council lel't vacant by the res-| ignation of Kenneth Moores, took the^ oath and was seated last night when the council met in regular session. Paekwood is a seinor. and his first' committee assignment is as a mem ber of the rally committee, organized list night to undertake the task of reviving the interest heretofore taken in all demonstrations staged by the students. The other members of the committee are Larue Bl. ckaby, Paul Spangler, President Sheeli/ and Slim Crandall, yell leader. Two permanent committees were provided for at the meeting las’ night, one to till a need that has long been evident, that of providing entei’ain ment for visiting teams that come to the campus. Hereafter there will te no neglect of .the teams that come to Fttgene to participate in contests with Oregon. From the time they arrive hintil they step aboard an outbuond train-, rlieir smallest needs will be at~ tended to. Visiting teams will be met by the following committee, which will administer to all their wants while they are guests of the University: Duudore, Service, Harris and three freshmen, John Kennedy, Arnold Ivoep ke and Joe Trowbridge. The other permanent appointments made were Those of Fred Packwood, Jesse Witty and Herman Lind, as a committee to take charge of the work of gathering and shipping to the mili tary camps books, magazines and other literature. While this branch of the service being rendered to the soldiers will be entirely in the hands of the committee members, they will co-operate with Librarian M. H. Doug lass, under whose supervision several shipments of literature have already been made and who is thoroughly in touch with the situation. Forty-one dollars clear profit, from which $21 was deducted to pay the bal ance due on the gold fobs given to the members of last year's football team, was the report made by the dance com mittee on the student body dance of Saturday night. The total receipts were $05 and the expenses of the dance $24. The committee was made perma nent and will continue to act for the series of dances whiCh are contem plated. U.OF 0.
