When one allows their patriotism to become blind, petty and unreasoning, then they might nearly as well have none at all. There are scores of big things which demand the attention of the American people today ind offer an' outlet for the patriotism which comes bubbling to the surface under the stress of national enthusiasm, and the would be critic who brands every minor ex travagance as unpatriotic, without fully investigating the situa tion, exhibits nothing but a poorly organised sense of national service. This week the freshman class of the University, as well as those of the upper classes who are supporting them, have come in for scattering criticism on the score that the annual bonfire represents an inexcusable waste and should be abandoned. If there is any waste connected with the building of the big blaze it is a waste of energy on the part of those who see it dispensed with and an indication that they are jumping rather hastily at conclusions. The manual labor expended by the freshmen will do none of them any harm, the extra hours which the fire’s construction forces onto their waking hours will impress upon them the ne cessity of systematizing their schedules and the material burned is being put to far better use than were it allowed to go its natural way. All of the material going into the bonfire is waste slab — tailings from the Booth-Kelly mill at Springfield, which would otherwise run its natural course over the conveyor and into the slab pile and be burned to got it out of the way. Thousands of cords of this same material go the same route each year in the mills of Oregon. And, the Emerald might pause to remark here, the persons who are everlastingly watching for such petty instances to air their patriotism are those whose patriotism most needs airing— to make it eivdent. There are, however, other brands of patriotism on the cam pus of which the University has reason to be proud—the nation al variety, which has and is inspiring most of the faculty and students to action rather than criticism of others actions, and loyalty to Old Oregon. The latter is particularly pertinent at this time. Today some few of the old grads returned to the campus to be on hand for every event of Homecoming, tomorrow there will be more and by Saturday they will be evident in every nook and corner of the campus. They are returning to renew old ac quaintances, to pass judgment upon the manner in which the present generation is administering the trust placed in them — that of continuing the succesful conduct of student body affairs .—and to see Oregon skin the Golden ^ear. Call it what you may, the influences which are bringing them back to the cam pus, finally resolve themselves into patriotism and loyalty to their Alma Mater. These graduates and former students of the University are returning to take their part in a monster exhibition of Oregon patriotism. When the rally call is sounded Friday evening they will be there. Many there will be whose memories will travel back further than the ago of some University students to the last Oregon rally they attended as undergraduates. Against that mental picture they will play the demonstration of tomorrow night in comparison. If Oregon allows one man of them to carry away the impression that the Oregon Spirit has lost one ounce of its vitality, then the student body of today has failed in its great est duty. The Oregon Spirit is, after all, nothing but patriotism for Oregon, the kind of patriotism that says we must and we will. This week it exhibits itself in the slogan, “Wo Must Beat Cali fornia.” That should be the spit inspiring the action of every Oregon student from now until Saturday night.

MISS ME URGES ' USE OFLESS BUTTER Head of Household Arts De^ partment Says America Leads World in Fat Consumption. OUTLINES SAVING PLAN Urges Use of Merged Butler and Oleomargarine; Says to Save Whey. “We use too much butter,” declared Miss Lillian Tingle, head of the house hold arts department, in the T'niversity, today when she addressed a crowd of townspeople and college girls, on the subject of conservation of fats. Miss Tingle explained that a certain kind of fats, called “growth determinates” are necessary, especially to children. “These fats are found in milk, butter, eggs, cheese, and in certain Vegetables and animal fats,” she said. However, America and England were shown to lead in fat consumption before the war, Germany’s 2 1-5, America's amount be ing 2,1/a ounces, the person a day; Eng land’s .V/i. while in France, where they have the best cooks in the world, it was only 11 ounces the person. Japan gets along on half an ounce a day. Two ounces of fats a day from all sources is enough.” Says Poor Cooking Is Cause Miss Tingle gives ns the cause of over-consumption of butter, the fact that food is often improperly cooked, that there is a lack of variety and a general bad selection of diet. A cliange of ser vice, such as increasing the number of things served on toast, was recommended ns a means of conserving butter. The buttering of vegetables was deemed un necessary. “Save the whey," said Miss Tingle, when advocating the use of dairy b.v I products, in order that the staples should go where most needed. “Whey con tains several valuable elements, and can quite often be used in cooking in the place of sour milk. It can be used in cakes, biscuits, bread and pastry.” Makes Now War Cake She then told of n war cako which mot with approval In this cako, she used neither butter, eggs nor milk, and used two ingredients, whey and apple peel ings, which would otherwise have been thrown away. Miss Tingle said that the recipe would probably appear in the Oregonian next Sunday, or the Sunday afterwards. ‘(Jet the habit of drinking buttermilk.” she urged. ‘‘If bought, in large quan tities. it is quite a saving, and what you don’t drink, can be used for biscuits in the place of sweet milk. Buttermilk contains the growth determinate.” The butter merger Miss Tingle gave ns a means of making butter go far ther. She is of the opinion that milk and oleomargarine can also be merged. "While oleomargarine bas a terrible name,” she said, "it is really very good. Composed partly of animal and partly of vegetable fats, it is often cleaner than butter.” Miss Tingle told of a case at O. A. C\, where girls who knew of the experiment, were given samples of hotter, merged butter and oleomargarine. The sample of merged oleomargarine was liked best by the girls. Mayonnaise dressing was given as a substitute for butter, ns it contains both I vegetable fats and the growth determ inate. Its use was suggested in sand wiches, or on the table in the butter ; chips. In many such ways oil. Miss ' Tingle suggested, could take the place | of butter, as a gallon of oil is consider- ’ ed equivalent to eight pounds of butter, j Miss Tingle announced the next lee- • tnre, which will be hole on Wednesday j at one in Yillnrd hall. t The following alumnae will be guests at the Gamma Phi Beta house for | Homecoming day: Kate Stanfield.
