Condon Club Hears Talk On Oregon Sea Lines That Eugene and the surrounding country was at one time a part of the wean. as is proved by the rock forma lions here, was shown last night by Dr. li. L. Tackard, of the geology depart ment, in his address, “Ancient Shore pines of Oregon,” before the Condon , lid), which met in the Administration te ildiug. “The border land between the land and the sea 1ms always been interesting lo people because it is there that the civilization of people has first taken place.” said Dr. Packard. “The climate, tempered by the land and sea breezes, the chance for industry—those industries of tie sea meeting with >!. .•,> based on in l.nd resour-e i—have ’ r 1 a d roct hear ing on civilization.” The littoral zone, that part of the sea which lies nearest the land, is of more interest to biologists than the deep water, according to Dr. Packard, for it is in the littoral zone that are found the greatest extremes of environments, and the sediments formed near the shore give us a history of the past life of the shore. Also, as was pointed out. the decaying animals and plants result in the distillation and development of oil. “The land is tempered by the sea and the sea conditions near land are affected ; bv the land,” continued the speaker, “so the region of the shore lines, especially the adjacent zones, are of peculiar in terest biologically, and a study of shore lines becomes more vital when it is un derstood that they are significant eco nomically and historically, as well as geologically.” Because of the meager information, if is difficult to trace the record of ancient shore lines, Dr. Packard said, and opinion is largely postulate. “The history of Oregon shows that there were 20 times when the Pacific ocean encroached upon the land, leaving limestone, shale and other rocks, besides the remains of plants and animals one fr< quently finds,” the speaker explained, and illustrations were shown by dia grams of the approximate position of the 20 seas. Dr. Packard believes that the. sea cov ering Eugene was rich in sea life, as the animal remains here show, as well as the frequent finding of sandstone and shales, which, he says, is the sediment that has been converted into rock. Iti early history, said the speaker (that means when the world was new), the seas were restricted to the southwest corner of Oregon, but later, during the age of reptiles, the estate become more widely flooded, and formations show that at one time 70 per cent of the entire state was covered by water, which ex tended as far as the Blue mountains of eastern Oregon. “In the next era,” Dr. Packard ex plained, “the seas were again more re stricted and in general, only occasionally did the sea extend further than the Cas cades, although there were no Cascade mountains then.” CLARK AND PARSONS WRITE BOOK REVIEWS Articles, Both On War Topics. Appear In International Relations Journal. Dr. Robert C. Clark, professor of his tory, and Dr. P. A. Parsons, professor of sociology in the University, have both written book reviews which appeared in the “Journal of International Relations” for April. 1021. Dr. Clark says of “An Introduction to Peace Treaties,” by Arthur P. Scott. “The chief usefulness of this book is its summary and explanation of the peace treaties as concluded up to May. 1020. Introductory chapters on war causes and war aims, negotiations during the war. tlie peace conference, and the framing of the treaty, are excellently done and give in brief compass, clearly and without waste of words the necessary historical background for the treaties. Though the treaties are easily accessible to one reek ing information about them, and perhaps unusually intelligible as treaties go. a book that gives the gist of their contents without their complicated phraseology and multiplicity of details is a welcome addition to the literature of the sub ject.” “The Human Cost of the 1101'. by Homer Folks, is commented upon by Dr. Parsons. This volume, according to Dr. Parsons, is an attempt to give an esti mate and impression of the costs of the war in the suffering of men, women and children. It is based upon Mr. lolks own experiences and observations in the devastated areas of Italy, the Balkans, the Russian front, France and Belgium. STUDENTS INSPECT PORT Alfred Lomax and Members of Class Visit Portland Terminals. Professors Alfred Lomax and several >f the students in his Forts and Termi uals class made an inspection tour of terminal and port facilities in Portland several days ago.

I he students wore favored with seeing the new coal bunkers at the plant in operation for the first time since their completion.
