Professor Rweetsor returned Tuesday evening from a throe days’ trip to the Siuslaw country, where he found the finest specimens of moss he has seen ' anywhere. The moss in bogs between i Acme and Florence he considers excep tionally good. lie got the Boy Scouts and the school children interested in col lecting the moss and they filled 40 sacks which, when the moss has been prop erly died, will be sent to the Ited Cross headquarters in Eugene. There is a little of the moss at the Eugene chapter now, and Professor Swcetser thinks that by the time the materials for making the pads and dressings have arrived from the cast, which will be about 10 days, that everything will be ready for work. Orouon’s Sharo 500,000 Pads. An instructor in the making of pads will come from the University of Wash ington when the materials have arrived in Oregon. She will visit the larger aux iliaries in Oregon, where the pads will be made. The Red Cross has assigned to Oregon and Washington the making of half a million pads. Professor Swcetser thinks that Oregon can fill her quota easily if the prospects of a supply of moss from different parts of Oregon materialize. Professor Swcetser will take a trip through the Tillamook country this week end. where he expects to find good moss, judging from excellent samples he lots received from Rocknway Reach, Tilla mook and other places along the coast. "Two things are to be considered,” says Professor Sweetser, “accessibility and quantity.” The supply at Eioreuee ful fills both these conditions.” Tillamook to Supply Portland. Astoria is getting i*» supply from the adjacent bogs and ir-vr<he t. If present plans work out satisfactorily, I’ovtinnd ! may be able to get «*» supply from the . Tillamook country, ana Albany ami Cor vallis, theirs from Newport. Great interest is being taken in the 1 sphagnum moss by peoph who have read j about ith advantages in the niaV:.* of pads and dressings, »ji i Profesnor Sweet ser lias received many inquiries about the kind of moss h, *»eds for the' work. The queries come frem young and old. The one which Professor Swcetser cher ishes particularly is • letter from a "kid of 85,” as he calls him: Ilefca, Oregon. There is several varieties of moss 1 here. I do not know what kind you want. Send sample of pad if you have !t. I think I can find time to make a few. 1 am No years old, hut I can do a lot of work yet. Conn- up this way and stay n few days and we will look around and see what we can find. ISRAEL PUTNAM NEW YORK LACKS OREGON SPIRIT, SAYS PATTERSON A letter from Chalmer N. Patterson, who left a few weeks a*,* to do govern ment work in New York City, and who was doing graduate work in the Univer sity and held the office of orderly ser geant in the University Battalion, was received this week by Professor E, E. Shinn. Mr. Patterson tells of his trip east, which lie evidently enjoyed io its fullest Order of O Bouncer Stolen From Varsity Room Suspects Have Left Campus Is Be lief of Detective Force; New Paddle Secured. The Order of the O bouncer has been stolen! It isn’t there in its customary place in the Varsity room—an unworthy substitute is padlocked to the post in Its stead, but beware of the paddle! A week ago today two ordnance men who had unwittingly set foot in the Var sity room tasted of the smart reproof said paddle can give when wielded by the worthy hands of “O” men. This happen ed just before the boys went to Corval lis for the game. Monday, while in the varsity room, men of the Order of the O found to their indignation and consternation that the paddle was gone and a smaller, wholly inadequate one was in its place. Since then detectives have been out. So far no dues have appeared, but the chief of the detective squad says that suspicion points its finger towards the departed ordnance men. “We hope the men who received tit? spats last Thursday took it in the right spirit,’’ said Walter Grebe. “Tkere’3 going to be another paddle there in a couple of days. If anyone wishes to take a chance at the room while the paddle is missing, let him come, but the new paddle will be us efficient and carry as much weight as the old one, in fact, 1 think it will bn a bit better.” .So beware the Order of the O paddle.

Wins Second Game of Dough nut Series by 9-3 Score. Players Call Truce at Close of Fourth Inning and Co to See Bill Hart. i - [■ The Phi Delta Theta team took the second game of the doughnut baseball series from the A. T. O. representatives Tuesday afternoon, the score being 9 to 3 at the end of four innings. The game was scheduled for five innings but owing to the fact that several of the 'players wanted to get a chance to look Bill Hart over, it was agreed to suspend I'hostility at the end of the fourth frame, j The game in itself was tip to the j standard of the league and the playing in the field was pretty good in spots, the only trouble being that the spots were few and far between, lid Durno pitching for the Phi Delts had good con trol and a nice assortment of freak halls that foiled the A. T. O. sluggers in three of the four innings. In the third inning Don Osman, of the A. T. O.’s met one on its way in and gave it a ride to the tenuis courts. The hit went for a homer and scored Madden and Motschenbaelier ahead of him. Strachan and Durno also hit cir cuit clots during the evening perform ance. Each of the last mentioned gath ered three runs which was enough to win the game in itself. Credit must be given for the form shown by “Scotty" Strachan behind the plate and “Bib” Carl for his work on the short patch. Smith for the A. T. O.’s showed up in pretty fair shape hut he worked too fast to be effective. Oxman was the steller light of the los ers infield getting everything that hap pened his way.
