Dyment and Makes Acquaintance of Wallace Irwin. John Do Witt Gilbert, ex-’IS, now in the office of the base censor in I’aris, writes Professor Eric W. Allen, dean of the .£ jvnrniiiicia, of g-.-jce of the queer mistakes he finds in the ."00 let ters lie reads daily. The letter is dated Paris, September (i. Gilbert was a major in the school of journalism. The letter follows in part: “I am now in the office of the Base Censor arid am one of those brutal bc i n p's who are supposed to gloat and glory in others’ letters. I was sent here July I and have been hard at work, reading ah ut 300 letters a day. "The work is very interesting and a man gets used to being hard-hearted and close-mouthed. I have read every sort of biter, from humorous to ones to wring a heart. I have copied one or two that will he wonders in the ‘apres de guerre’ days.

So it goes. "Stars and Stripes” Sent Over. "I have sent you a copy or two of the Stars and Stripes and I have today sub scribed to it for a jenr, the1 copies to hi' mulled to the school of journalism as just a little evidence that I have not forgotten the many things I gained in the luiM iiunt of McClure hull. If the war is still in progress when the subscription runs out, I will he glad to continue it. “One evening perhaps a week after getting your letter, I glanced at the register in the University Union and saw, in green ink, the stumpy hieroglyph ics that, 1 have long associated with, C. V. D. (Colin V. Dyment). 1 lost no lime In hunting him up and 1 need not say that we had a joyous reunion. T really believe he smiled when I clapped my hand on his shoulder. T’m not posi tive, but 1 think he did. Our work con flicted a good deal with our spare time, but we managed to see a good deni of each other before he was sent away as Red Cross representative of the Lewis Di vision. "1 have seen Miss Louise Lit eh and had a fine evening with her. She is writ ing u book for tln> Y. \V. and is at pres ent away from Paris. Many Oroijon Men Thero. "Of course the largest bunch of Ore gon men I have seen were with my old outfit, which must now be ready for the line, but in knocking about I have seen Alex Bowen. Bob Atkinson, Jimmie Don ald, and have been in touch with several more. “One of the friendships I have made and which I value is that of Wallace Ir win, with whom I regularly have dinner every fortnight in a rare old restaurant in the Latin Quarter. He is a remark ably interesting man. “I have met the stuff of the New York Herald and have inspected their plant. I am enclosing a copy of the paper. You can judge it for yourself. Irwin says, ‘The Herald will always come out until the scissors break.’ They have a nice plant and the staff all have nice jobs, as it takes four men and an editor, besides the wire man to clip and translate four pages full. On the point of cleanliness, the Herald is the ranking plant of any I have seen. The type shines like new and the forms appear slver plated. “l!i* Rure that I urn not neglecting my splendid opportunity to see Paris. It is indeed a priceless one, and I am already familiar with all parts of the city and tin* most important of the environs. To day I am going to Fontninbleau. Paris Finest of Cities. “I had always placed Paris as the city of all the world I wanted most to see. I have seen it and I have certainly not been disappointed. I have not seen all the world, but I cannot believe that there is a finer city in the world. I hud rend considerable of Paris, but all the books in all the world would leave one without real appreciation of one spring ing buttress of Notre Dame. I think that Notre Dame is my favorite building. Sucre Couer is more Tesplendenr, but too barbaric. The Madeline, designed after a Greek temple, is not my idea of a Christian church. The IjOtivrp is t >o im mense. St. Etienne is richer, but shoddy of exterior. Yes, Notre Dame !s my fa vorite, with its matchless Goth:e. One cannot imagine its charm rising from that island in the Seine which was the ‘Cradle of Paris.' I cannot start to tell you all of Paris. Would not havi lime before my gray-liaired days. Just know that it is to rno the city of ‘h» world, tor America’s snke, one should never compare our metropolis with the Frem;h. All that Paris is to me, New York is not. “Be sure. Mr. Allen, that my thoughts are often with you in old F.ugene and that 1 have the best hopes for the year which you will be beginning about the true you receive his. Oregon is alway hi my heart.” Harold Young Describes in Letter, Houses, Cafes and Wine Shops. Harold Young, a graduate of the Fni versity iu 11HU, who is now in Franee "'itll tlio engineering division of tho Ord nance department, writis that tlu> French cities aro all aliko, except in l hi1 matt or of size. llo says: "So far 1 havou’t soon a single woodon house d’n't heliovo (hero is one in Fnuiee, everything being of stone and cement I and built to Inst forever. Water for housekeeping purposes is drawn from in Is on die street corners guess the houses have no plumbing. 'The sidewalks and pavements are of cobblestone, and are hard to walk upon. In fact most peo ple walk in the street where the stones have been worn down smooth. The walks are very narrow too. There are no lawns as w. have, lmt small gardens are en closed behind stone walls or iron fences screened from the public view. The houses arc built up flush with the walks and s tnetiuies extend their wall along the street enclosing the garden. The street ears are small affairs in many eas.-s motorettes and a conductress both. Bread, vegetables and milk are sold from little earls pulled by two dogs and pushed by a woman or an old man. l.itile wine shops i re everywhere, with tables on the sidewalk where people drink their wine a thimble full at a time. Hown town the big cafes are ablaze >'f light with tables all along the walk and drinking in fvdl blast all the time but no one drunk. "In the delicatessen shops what do you suppose you find? Snails of all kinds, goose livers, venison, rabbits, mushrooms and goodness knows what tho other things are, all stewed and filial. "Tue big stores put shutters over ;heir windows in the evening so I’ve only had a chance to peek into ono of them last evening. It was a riot of fancy show case, drapery, u winding stairway, tainting and decoration* but precious lit i e merchandise that I could sec." Ten Members in Organization; Personnel Later to Be En larged. An orchestra has just been formed for the inusioally endowed residents of Hendricks hall. According to all reports it is a very promising organization, and present members say it is to be expanded later. I'rnetiee will begin the first of next week. The main purp >sp of the Hendricks hull orchestra, which is the official title given it, is to add jazz to the dances and to provide the other members of the hall with some really good music. The present pers nnel of the orches tra consists of Benia Keagy, the drums; lsla Gilbert and Eva Hansen, the clari net; Alice Sutton and Marion Bowen, cornet; Edna Bice, violin; Marie Holden, saxapbone; l’att.t Trench, trombone; Martha Overstreet, bass horn; and Kuth Snssnuvn, the piano. The orchestra expects to take in many new members next week, as there are many girls who play instruments and who have been wanting an organization of this kind.

Drop Your Pledge Cards in Boxes Friday forWar Fund Volunteer Day, Friday the eighth! This is the day when you write on a card the amount you are going to give for the United War Work drive and drop it into one of the several ballot boxes which will be on the campus. One is to be in the Bungalow, one in Hendricks hall, one in the library, two in Friendly hall and one in the barracks. The men’s boxes will be open from seven to seven-—the women’s from eight to six as the women are not expected to be around as early or stay as late as the ' men. “Girls, rush the boxes at an early hour and show you mean business; don’t let the men beat you. If everyone will rush the boxes Friday it will help to put his team over the top.” said Helen Brenton, member of the general committee on the war drive, “because pledges made on Volunteer Day count 20 per cent toward the team’s possible 100 per cent. Volun teer on Volunteer Day!” MISS FOX DISPELS CHAOS; Dean Tells of Her Experiences WitK Hi rod Help In France. Dean Elizabeth Fox, who is in Tours, at the head of a large hotel for women, says, in a letter received by Miss Lillian Tingle: ‘We moved into this mansion on Mon day, the army having requisitioned it from the Y. M. C. A. for the telephone girls. Since that time I have lost two maids who did not care to stay, have discharged two, and given a third her last chance. "It is rather fun to bring order out <?f chaos, and after all the chaos was not half as bad us the beginning of the other little hotel which we left—which was frightfully dirty. For the present I am posing as manager of both.” She tells of doing the marketing and looking after the menus, which she says is all very interesting. "We expect to he the very center of interest in a month or two,” writes Miss Fox. “There are two vacant lots near us and we have a large garden upon each of which barracks will be built for girls. “I am thoroughly enjoying all of the work,” she writes in conclusion, “and there is occasional opportunity to meet the French people behind their high gar i den walls.” personals Delta Delta Delta are entertaining Thursday evening in honor of the birth days of Blanche Warren, Helen Hair, Helen Campbell, Doris Churchill and Myrtle Itoss.
