HOUSEHOLD ART GIRLS FEED UNEXPECTED GUEST Practical Work Being Done by Department MANY PROBLEMS SOLVED Dressmaking and Furniture Smartening Included “The unexpected guest,” the horror of all housewives, is the subject of prac tice luncheons being conducted by the cooking classes of the household arts department, under Miss Lilian Tingle. The luncheons are prepared by individ-, ual members of the classes in periods of three days each. The object is to prepare a luncheon, satisfying, tasteful and digestible within a limited length of time and within a limited outlay of expense. One dollar is »he expense limit for a luncheon for five persons, with a pos sibility of a sixth “dropping in.” In case of the arrival of the “unexpected guest,” the hostess must “stretch’’ things to reach so much farther, and :t is in this sudden adjustment to cir cumstances that the student learns the practical lessons of food management and resourcefulness. Each student is given $1.00 with which to make all the purchases for her luncheon, and all the buying, looking and arranging is done by herself. Luncheon Attract Faculty The luncheons have been served dur ing the past few weeks to members of the faculty of the department of Home Economics with an occasional outside member who attends within 15 minutes notice. An interesting display held recently in the clothing section of the depart ment of household arts was the Fashion show presented by the students in dress design and sewing. Each student acted as her own live model, presenting her own work in this manner. The exhibit was open only to members of the classes and the faculty of the department. Frocks are Designed The classes in sewing and design are now doing some very interesting work in flower designing and decorations. Successful results have been accomp lished also in the making bf wool dresses and evening frocks. At present special problems are being offered the classes in designing and making clothes for persons outside the classes, which offers experience in working with vari ous models and figures. The members of the class create their own patterns which involves the study of textiles, materials and design. Some interesting work being done by the department is the collection being made of materials for the study of tex tiles, weaves and dye, and identifica tion of fiber. These materials will be kept and added to for the benefit of the classes in this work. Furniture Is Doctored Old furniture is being renovated by members of the classes in home deco ration. and the results of a little paint and sandpaper are remarkable, as shown in the articles being completed. This is an interesting and practical line of work which is being done by members of this department. A change in some of the courses in the department of home economics is contemplated for next term, but as yet nothing definite has been announced. EUROPEAN OUTLOOK (Continued from page one) early in 1919, they could have carried on the blockade plan that was being used to put Europe on its feet. The officials running the blockade at that time were keen on this plan. Unfor tunately all the schemes in this direc tion were dropped, and you lost your opportunity to control the economic re construction of Europe. “Those responsible for the Genoa conference, though talking about the conditions in central Euflppe, were interested in the conditions in the Brit ish Isles and the United States. Eu rope is getting along pretty well at the present time by underselling the other countries. But there are two million unemployed in England. I am an opti mist and when I saw the window dres sing going on in Europe for the Genoa conference, T knew that conditions were all right. The farmers of the confer ence know now that convalescence is well on its way in Europe.” Dr. Zimmern called attention to a fact concerning the financial depres sion in Europe. “It is really instabil itv of foreign currency,” he said, “rather than its low value which has been a hinderance to trade. Stability is Increasing “There has been & steady increase of stability in Europe. The League of Nations has survived Europe’s ten sion. An astonishing fact concerning the League is that its sessions in gen eral assembly are not so important as the organization of the Secretariat. The subordinate staff of this office is comprised of all different nationali ties. The representatives of these different countries are working to gether and have each other’s confi dence. That’s why I believe the League has a real future. Looking at it from the standpoint of organization it has accomplished something. The officials of the League are justified in saying that it has made good.” In speaking of the relations between France and England he said, ‘•'We hoped that after the war the principle of the balance of power had passed away and that we would look forward to what is called the ‘ concern of Europe. ’ The mass of the public in both England and France wish the two countries to be 1 friends. But there has been a great ! deal of mischief making and wholly unnecessary friction. Reparation is one of the causes of this. England is to blame for the virtually trebling of the reparations bill. The reason for this has been not to punish Germany or be repaid in enormous sums for the dam age done, but an aim to get greater proportion of what Germany is able to pay by rendering the large bill. But England has heaped item upon item on the bill and has been lenient with Germany in regard to demanding com pliance. On the other hand France has rendered a smaller bill and has pressed Germany to pay. For this reason the blame of excess reparation has fallen unjustly on the shoulders of France. Mutual Confidence Returning “Since 1914 the condition of mutual confidence has been coming back by degrees. I believe that in time confi dence will be established with all our late enemies. But don’t rush up too fast. People at a distance have been taking the sportsmanship attitude of forgiving and forgetting. Give us time patience, don’t scold or dictate us, and above all don’t mix an economic ques tion with a sentimental one. There has been danger of misunderstanding be tween your country and the allied powers, because you have become ob sessed with the idea of dictating to us. You have no more right to do this than we have to dictate to some smal ler central countries such as Czecho slovakia, or Jugo-Slavia.” Lectures at Hut Today Dr. Zimmern arrived in Eugene yes terday and will deliver the first of his lectures this afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. hut at 3 o ’clock. It will be a meet ing for discussion in which the speaker will talk on “What is Europe.” Pro vision is being made for all social sci ence classes to meet with Dr. Zim mern at this occasion. Anyone else who is interested is invited to attend. Tonight at 8 o’clock at Villard hall a .general meeting open to the public will take place. Dr. Zimmern will speak on “The World after the War.” Tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock in the Y. M. C. A. hut the last of his lec tures will be held. He will address journalism and history students on the subject of “Newspapers and Contem porary History.” Dr. Zimmern is known as a very in teresting speaker. He is said to be very well qualified to speak on the subjects he has chosen. He is a prominent his torian and has made a study during the war and is acquainted with condi tions there after the war. Some inter esting information is promised those that attend his lectures. The Zimmerns will return to Port land on Friday. During their stay here they are being entertained by Dean and Mrs. Colin V. Dvment. German Attitude Unchanged Mrs. Zimmern, who is a French wo 1 man, when called on for an address, made a plea for a more sympathetic understanding of France’s situation and aims. Speaking from study aug ! mented by close-range observation in | Germany, Mrs. Zimmern emphasized , that France can not disarm while the Germans are in their present frame of mind. "The Germans, with the excep tion of the lower classes, have not changed their attitude toward France,” she said. “France is afraid of their power, and she can not disarm mater ially while Germany is not disarmed mentally and spiritually.” Mrs. Zimmern is thoroughly agreed with her husband in his estimate of Lloyd George and Poincare. The new French premier was painted as a schol ar and thinker in contrast with the British leader, who was characterized by both as a believer in doing the thing that seemed politically expedient. Both Mr. and Mr*. Zimmern rejoiced alike iii the apparent imminence of the fall of the Lloyd George administration, believing that a new British premier would work in better harmony with the French. The speaker made an earnest appeal that the real seriousness of France be understood and that the old idea of country as light and frivolous be abandoned. Of the ultimate coopera tion of both British and America with France, neither speaker had any doubt, and the whole note of the evening was one of optimism for the future of Eu rope.

Clark of the extension divi sion. In order to complete any work by correspondence in so short a pexiod, a student must not only have enrolled in the course, but must have done a good part of the work on this course As the correspondence study depart ment does not permit students en rolled in the University to carry work by correspondence at the same time, the student must secure the approval of the major prefessor, the dean of the campus school in which he is registered, and the secretary of the extension divi sion to enroll for vocational work.
