SAYS PROF. 0. F. STAFFORD
Head of Chemistry Department Finds
Them Enjoying Camp Life But
Eager to Get to France.
The boys at Fort Stevens seem to be
having a very good time, although they
are all restless and eager to get to
France, reports O. F. Stafford, professor

“The Astoria girls are good to the
boys,” he said.
“Friday night the camp was nearly
depopulated, for many of the men went
over to the Red Cross bazaar given by
the Honor Guard Girls.”
Professor Stafford found the hoys all
happy and in good physical condition
with the exception of Edwin Cox, a stu
dent at the University last year, who
was in the hospital with pleurisy. Cox is
a master gunner.
All the boys stand up for the army life,
says Professor Stafford and aside from
their eagerness to get to France they
ere contented.
Among the Oregon men whom Profes
sor Stafford saw were Corporal Max
Schafer, the Scearee brothers. Bob and
Dick, Charles McDonald. George More

FIRST GiRLS’ VARSITY
FIVE TO BE SELECTED
Team Will Be Chosen Aftor Vacation to
Meet 0. A. C. in Basketball; Fresh
men May Be Barred.
Tryouts for a woman's Varsity bas
ketball team will be held immediately
after Christmas vacation. A team will
then be formed and practice will begin,
for a game with O. A. C., says..Maude
Lombard, head of basketball.
‘The inter-class games,” said Miss
Lombard. “ show that there is some
good material -for a team. The Wo
man's Atheltic association will probably
have charge of choosing the members.
It is probable that freshmen will be
excluded.”
Miss Mabel Cummings, head of the
department of physical training, is in
favor of forming a team.
“It would be the first in the history
of the University,” said Miss Cum
mings. “I consider this a good time
for women to enter intercollegiate ath
letics, as the war has caused such a de
crease in men’s athletics.”

Says Y. M. C. A. Is Bright Spot in Camp
Life at Goat Island.
Life in the navy appeals to DowarJ
Pratt, who recently withdrew from
college, and who is now stationed at
The Goat Island Naval Training sta
tion, f$nn Francisco.
James Maepherson, general secretary |
of the Y. M. C. A., received a card
from Fratt yesterday, in which Pratt
had nothing but praise for 'the ser
vice. The message follows:
“Just a word to let you know that
I'm settling down to life in the service
and really enjoying it greatly. The in
vigorating mode of living and the dis
cipline are great for a fellow. We
have very good food, good tents, and
considerate instructors. At present I’m
in the detention caniy. malting stare
that I’ve brought no contagious disease
to the station. We also Teceive four
vaccinations during the period at this
camp:
“The Y. M. C. A. here in camp is
one bright spot. I realize now, as
nefer before, what a great work it is
doing.’’
Pratt was a freshman in the Uni- ;
versity.

the varying conditions that surround
their issuance and sales.

world,” said Mr. lleitzhausen. “They
have every dollar's worth of property in
the country back of them, ns well ns
the solid support of 110,000.(XX) people.
They offer a sure and steady source of
income, at a substantial rate, and in
addition to the patriotic motives that
should attract investors, they provide
an excellent business proposition.”

Must Use Minimum of Sugar,
Says Miss Tingle.
Sweets Needed as Part of Reg
ular Diet; Candy Sub
stitutes Given.
The making of "war candy” and
“menu- making” were the topics dis
cussed by Miss Lilian Tingle, at her
weekly lecture, held in Villard at one
o’clock this afternoon.
‘‘There, are three rules governing the
making of war candy, that are simply
absolute,” said Miss Tingle. First, there
should be no candy made this year by
the old methods, which take great am
ounts of sugar ns n l>Hse. Second, only
one pound of sugar should be used to
five pounds of oft heir matetrialjs, and
third, no one should eat candy ns an
extra, but should use it ns a part of
their regular diet.”
Substitute Fruits and Juices
Some of the candy substitutes that
Miss Tingle recommends are made from
canned fruits, partially dried and rolled
in powdered sugar.
Pates and figs make very good candy
substitutes, when stuffed with nuts or
with peanut butter, flavored with honey
or maple syrup.
Nougats may he made with syrup
stiffened with gelatiue, while a very
good chewing candy is made from equal
parts molussei and Uuro, or other syrup,
and a small amount of butter, flavored
with peppermint, or vanilla.
An excellent imitation fulge is made
| from peanut butter and mashed po
tatoes rubbed smooth with maple syrup,
and flavored with apices.
Fruit juices stiffened with gelatine,
and rich preserves used in the same
way, are appetizing Nuts and fruits
may be ground fine and worked into
paste, with the addition of n bit of
lemon juice and powdered sugnr. Marsh
mallows are made from one half box
gelatiue. one half pint . elly and the
white of an ogg.
In regard to menu making, Mis<
Tingle said, “There are four things to
be considered in the making of a menu-—
time, labor, coat and fuel. There is no
patent medicine menu that, will fit all
persons, or appeal to every individual;
but a good menu should come within
these considerations." A good meal
should be wholesome, well balanced and
attractive.
Miss Tingle will continue her discus
sion of menu-making next week.

Initiation Into Sorority Before
Jan. 1,1916, No Longer
Bars Joining Campus
Organization.
Decision Reached at Meeting
Tuesday Will Admit Three
University Oirls.
Any girls who was initiated before
January 1. 1010, into any organization
bearing a Greek name, called a fratern
ity or sorority, will no»t for that reason
be considered ineligible for membership
to a University of Oregon national
sorority.
This decision, reached Tueaday after
noon at a. meeting of the Oregon chapter
of National Pan-Hellenic association,
makes three girla on this campus, form
erly ineligible, now eligible for a sorori
ty. The absence on the campus of
Greek societies, nod national, makes tbs
rule here ap«ply only to preparatory
schools.
Old Rule Resotnded
The local chapter, it was explained
by Celeste Foulkes, president, has here
tofore been influenced by another rule,
which deemed it necessary for a mem
ber of a preparatory school sorority, to
resign before January 1, 1910, in order
to become open for pledging to a na
tional soority
“We nro informed, by the National
headquarters,” said Miss Foulkes, “that
the rule regarding resignations was
never irpheld. Therefore we will now
accept only the official rule, and a girl
will not be considered ineligible, pro
vided she was initiated before January
1, 1910.”
Text of New Rule
rPhe rule in full, reads as follows:
“After January 1, 1910, no girl who
becomes a member of an organisation
bearing n Greek name, called a fratern
ity or sorority, shall be eligible to a
National Pan-Hellenic sorority. This ia
exclusive of junior colleges, and provi
sional fraternities.”
The local chapter decided flint initia
tion of this year’s pledges should b«
held after Christmas vacation, as soon
as grades could be determined.
HISTORY OF FUR TRADE
GIVEN COMMERCE CLASS
Conservation of Supply a Botiness
Proposition, Says Pauline
Beals In Report.
An interesting history of the fur
trading activities of The northwest wee
presented before the class in industrial
and commercial survey of the school
of commerce, on Wednesday afternoon,
by Miss Pauline Beals, who had made
an investigation of the subject
Miss Beals’ report pointed out that
fur tradiug was the earliest form of
commercial enterprise in what now com
prises the state of Oregon, and that the
industrial development of the present
day ia due largely to the firm founda
tion established here by the early-day
fur merchants.
Among the principal fur-bearing ani
mals now being caught in Oregon, Mias
Beals enumerated marten., otter, bearer
and mink. Some coaraer furs also are
produced in 'this state, notably thane of
the muskrat, skunk and raccoon.
While Oregon does not rank high as
a fur producing state at the present
time, the value of the yearly output is
estimated at $100,000. St. Louis con
tinues to be the principal fur market
of the United States, but Portland is
the fur center of the nortbweat.
"The conservation of our fur, aa well
as our game is a business proposition,”
declared Miss Beals, "and our fur
bearing animals should have as much
consideration as our forests and our
water supply.”
