UNIVERSITY TO H AVE DEFEjjOjCE BUREAU Bill Passed Providing for De partment to Give informa *!on to Legislature. i A legislative service anil reference 1 bureau is to be established at the lui ,varsity, under the provisions of a bill introduced by Representative David M. 'Graham of Lane County and passed by fthe senate on Thursday. The bill has now passed both houses. The bureau iwill contain complete information con •cerning legislation in all states of the pnion and it is to be maintained for the convenience of legislators and others in the state who desire such information. The bill was passed after a third read ing and the success was partly due to the efforts of Senator Bell of Lane county, who with Representative Graham pushed the matter and secured favorable actiou after opposition had resulted in the bill being laid on the table the preceding day. The establishing of such a bureau will come under the jurisdiction of several departments of the University, such as those of economics, history and law, according to Professor F. G. Young, of the economics department. Heretofore the commonwealth conferences have Jbeen functioning along those lines, lie says, a3 has the state library, in collect ing data. “This measure when it becomes a law will be a £reat stimulus to work in the University,” Professor Young added. “The department of sociology and eco nomics have usually required senior these to deal with some problems of state legislation. This bill gives definite authority to the University for the keep ing up of such a line of work. It will also be a stimulus to the commonwealth conferences, who enlist the aid of state experts on problems in their various lines.” PROGRAM TO BE VARIED f A varied program of violin and vocal finusic will be given at Guild hall Sunday (afternoon at 2:30 by Arthur Faguy-Cote (baritone, and Robert Louis Barron, vio linist, of the University^ichool of Music, ^George Hopkins the latest arrival on tlfe [School of Music faculty, will appear in , |a recital on the pian with John Stark pUvans, teacher of biJth piano and or ^an some time in April if their present rlans materialize. % ' The program for Sunday afternoon (follows: Concerto No .4 in D Major.Mozart Allegro Andante Cantabela Rondeau Mr. Barron.

' Cowpiete line Cigars and Cigarettes, tf More Girls Than Men Are Superstitious Finds Dr. Conklin The common supposition that women are more superstitious than men is justi fied according to figures compiled by Dr. Edmund fc>. Conklin, head of the depart ment of psychology, in his article “Super stitious Beliefs and Practice Among Col lege Students,” which appeared in the January number of The American Jour nal of Psychology. “But it certainly does not warrant the attitude of immune su periority so often assumed by the male,” writes Dr. Conklin. Of the 457 University students who can immediately recall that they believe or have believed superstitions or that their conduct is influenced by them. 2t>2 are women and 195 are men. The article is a report of a study bas ed upon the returns to a Questionnaire presented each year for four years (1913 1917) to the students beginning psychol ogy and the figures show that men appar ently outgrow superstition more easily than women. Superstitions of women are concerned chiefly with domestic social affairs and the intimately personal, the article states while those of the men are concerned with sports and the business activity of life. A greater number of women than men believe in, or practice at present, the fol lowing superstitions: Knocking on wood, four-leaf clover for luck, fortune telling (cards, teacups, palm), sleeping on wed ding cake, dream prophetic. While men exceed in the practice of superstition about the unluckiness attached to the number 13, walking under a ladder, be lief in premonitions, luck sure to follow finding a horseshoe, frrr of cemetery after dark, flipping r u for decision, and many other eccentr' ities. MOOT MIT TO TIT Pfouts and Ivey to Plead Case of Merchants in Suit Over Damaged Wares. s A misunderstanding arising from a mistake in a shipment of shoes results in the ease of Hornswoggle vs. Hamfat which is to be tried before the moot court in the law library at 7:30 next Tuesday evening. Action* is brought by Hornswoggle for damages on the shoes which he alleges to have been purchased by Hamfat. The question is whether there was any evidence of a sale of shoes to the defendant. The shoes were sent to Hamfat. A few days later Hornswoggle wrote to him that he might keep the shipment at a certain price, if he would send cash at once, but if he could not send cash to return the goods. Hamfat replied by sending a draft for four per cent less than the price set on the shoes. The plaintiff then replied that no reduction had been made on the price of the shoes, adding that if the arrangement was not satisfactory to return the goods im mediately. A month elapsed and nothing was heard of tthe shoes till one day Horn swoggle was notified that the shipment had arrived at the depot. It was then discovered that the shipment had been opened and the goods were damaged. Hornswoggle then immediately brought action against Hamfat. James B. Pfouts is the attorney for the plaintiff and Ben Ivey for the de fendant. G. S. Wells is shief justice and Miles McKey, clerk.

DE COD League of Nations Discussed : by Noted Speakers at Portland. The peace conference (in Portland wnf tlu> most successful one yet held, is the opinion of Dr. E. E. DeCou, professor of mathematice. who hus 'just returned from Portland where he attended the conference. “The terms of the League of Nations had just been announced,” he said, "which for the first time gave the oppor- j tuuity to talk about something more ; specific.” ! Professor DeCou spoke of the excel- j lent address of ex-Presideut Taft, in | which ho analyzed the whole plan of Hie i League of Nations, making clear the j proposition. One noteworthy thigg in 1 Taft’s speech, said Professor DeCou, was his splendid attitude toward Wilson, his whole-hearted support, and broad American attitude, lie was statesman like throughout. In speaking of the other men who spoke at the conference Professor De Cou said that so many “strong speakers did not often come together.” It was indeed an “all star troup.” He was es pecially impressed by the talks of Dr. Henry Van Dyke, ex-embassador to the Netherlands, President Lowell, of Har vard, and Dean Brown, of Yale divinity school. The conference as a whole, Professor DeCou said, was exceedingly well re- | ceivod, and a large representation of the educators of the state were present. “There was throughout an enthusiastic spirit of hope and assurance for the future,” he said. Professor DeCou was especially inter- | ested in the conference as he has beeu an advocate of the peace plans for more than ten years, at which time such a thing was considered! impossible. It ; now gives him special satisfaction to see what was once considered a dream de velop into a reality. mm 111 mm i shhwt br i a i msi a i bh OKEH" HARROW tfor-m -yw„ 25 CENTS EACH CIiUETT, PEABODY& Ca <5w voters I i ! i i I Copyright registered, 1918 Mew Life in tin j Old Car There’s nothing that puts new j\ virp and vigor in the old car as a new battery will.
