The Wind and the Poppy
A poppy blew in Flander’s fields. The wind as it passed over
the flower whispered tales of foreign lands and great scenes of the
after-war days.
After the days of Armageddon, said the wind, when the armies
of the great nations had disbanded, when the banners had been furled
and the sound of fife and drum hushed through the land, the people
of young America had kept their faith and their idealism which was
bom in the first years of the war. Yes, the wind told how some had
yielded to the post-war hysteria which had stalked abroad, some be
ing unable to control their impulses had loosed upon their fellow
countrymen, the poisonous hate which the leader of the plagued
horsemen band had put within their hearts to play blindly against
the enemy. ,
“May some of the sweetness of idealism of most of them that
sleep beneath you here, the downtrodden of war, penetrate the hearts
and minds of the younger generation of America, yea, of the world 1”
cried the wind to the flower. Wind bent lower, “Oh, Poppy, the
younger generation is now in the schools of America. I passed over
the heads of a group of university and college young men and wo
men and they were speaking of Armistice day, and I listened to hear
if they still spoke of it as a sacred day. Then I cried to them, and
softly whispered over their shoulders the words of their leader in
their second great war, consolation to a nation in its grief and spur
to a nation in its endeavor that “these dead shall not have died in
vain 1 ’ ’
There was a silence. The poppy nodded. “I told them of the
custom among ancient peoples,” continued the wind, “to toast their
dead.”
“Pledge then your dead in new vintage,” I cried to them, “in
gratitude and appreciation, taking well to heart the warning, ‘Lest
we forget, lest we forget!’ ”
The wind paused and the poppy bent her blushing head toward
the green leaves of her stem. Along the ridge of the little French
valley where the wind was whispering to the blowing poppy, a figure
passed, singing.
“C’est un Americain,” murmured Wind, “ecoutez a qu.’il
chante! ’ ’
Into the blue twilight of the French evening strode the figure,
treading lightly, singing:
“Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I laid me down with a will.”

HAVE WE A REMINDER?
To the Editor:
Five years ago today the signing of
the armistice brought to a close the
most momentous conflict that the world
has ever known. In that war America
played an important part. And in her
contributions of men and money, the
state of Oregon was second to no other
state. The University of Oregon
played her part, too—played it nobly
and well. Five years ago the campus
was a military eamp. Thousands of
her students, former students and
faculty members were in the service.
Something over forty of them never
returned. They did all that men can
do for a great cause. They gave their
lives.
What have we, the survivors, done to
honor these men, who, of all men, are
worthy of our honorf Where on our
campus is there a stone, a tablet, a
tree that will remind us of the sacrifice
they made!
It is so easy to forget—so easy to per
mit the importunate affairs of the pres
ent to occupy our minds and hearts to
the exclusion of all else. They are
gone—these men who died. “Let the
dead past bury its dead.” We live,
and life is for the living. By such
sophistry we may condone our negli
gence. But in our hearts we know
that we are recreant. It is not for
the dead—they sleep peacefully—but
for ourselves that we should grant them
the recognition of their heroism. Only
by such acts of reverence can we hope
to nurture in our youth the ideal that
lies in the beauty and the high privi
lege of patriotism.
LEST WE FORGET.

The Romany Road of
The Romany road of dreams,
To loiter along its pleasant ways
And camp by its wandering streams.
and slow are the rivers here,
Trees are just things that grow.
1-ife is so dull for us stay-at-homes
Knowing the things we know.
Knowing the ache of the wander-lust,
The lure of the crooked lane,
I'he gentle tap, tap, tapping,
Of the finger tips of rain.
Oh to follow the gypsy trail
Under the silver beams
Of a crescent moon in a strange far
land
On the Romany road of dreams.
Dreams are made of fairies wings,
And silver moonlight fair—
Dreams are made of sunlight
That nestles in your hair.
When l fall a-dreaming
Of the laughter in your eyes,
Then the birds start singing.
In the blue, blue skies.
The stuff that dreams are made of
Is fragile witchery—
llut half my love is builded
On the dreams you bring to me.

Literary Gossip
by
PAT MORRISSETTE
Those who know Henrik Van Loon’s
“Story of Mankind” may recognize the
fact that Van Loon is repeating himself,
or, at least, his technique in the “Story
of the Bible.” The book has been
“written and drawn” by himself. He
has the knack of enhancing his book
both typographically and intellectually,
with the deep stamp of his own person
ality. Donald Stewart’s parody, “Aunt
Polly’s Story of Mankind,” published
this fall, accentuates the difficulty
that the critics found in Van Loon’s
first book in Buch an obvious manner
that the public is able to grasp the
idea as satire.

But a limited edition, numbering 950
copies, of Joseph Hergesheimer's “The
Presbyterian Child” has been issued.
The book has,been designed in its en
tirety by Bruce Rogers and the high
price placed upon it will probably make
it an object for book collectors—the
rest of us will have to wait for a
second edition. An autobiographical
study of his own childhood, the book
is bound to be an important link in a
Hergesheimer set, although there is the
possibility that the man’s taste for
pretty words and pictures may have
led him away from the concept of an
autobiography. He might have taken a
hint from W. H. Hudson and entitled
his book “Very Far Away and Too
Long Ago.”
There is something “peculiar” about
Gerhart Hauptmau's “Heretic of
Soana,” just arrived at the library,
says Mr. Schmidt in the German de
partment. One of the factors in the
peculiarity which Schmidt notes may
be an evident divergence from Haupt
man's particular methods.
Ludwig Lewisohn is introducing the
latest edition of Rousseau's “Confes
jsions” to the American public. Prior
I to "this edition, tho book, or set, had
| been out of print for a long time. All
j the editions in the library are rather
! ancient.

From Hegel to Hamlet, Don Quixote
j to Calderon, and across the world to
|Kwang-tre! Signor Giovanni Papini
I (after his “"Life of Christ”) has
warmed his opinions enough to war
rant the name of “the Italian
Mencken.” In his latest translated
book, "Four and Twenty Minds,” Pa
[ pini has certainly placed himself among
the “opinionated” critics of the world.
To him, Maeterlinck is a “parlor oeeu
list. a moralist for old ladies, etc.” The
Signor is enthusiastic in his attack
on Shakespeare, and as enthusiastic in
his praise of Walt Whitman. The
trouble with Spencer, and his poetry, he
says, is that it's "too Parnassian.”
When Papini talks about Haute and
Italian literature, however, he is in his
own field and has something rather
worth while to say. His essay on
Dante is considered, by some, notable
for its clarity and its analysis. Papini's
“Life of Christ” is in the rent col
lection.

The work of Isaac Goldberg in
translating Pio Baroja is bringing
American readers |to recognize that
there are other Spanish authors besides
Benevente and Ibanez. Goldberg’s
translation of Baroja’s “Weeds” (the
second book in a triology that is to
depict the “struggle for existence”)
has just appeared.
That old book of essays by Max
Beerbom entitled “Yet Again” is be
ing published in America for the first
time. Max is notable as being one of
the big influences on that group of
contemporary New York essayists cen
tered around Christopher Morley, Don
Marquis and Heywood Broun, who are
taking the field as novelists. “The
cans clank audibly when he distributes
the milk of human kindness at our
doors,” Christopher says of him now.
Lure of West Brings
House Mother Back
(Continued from page one)
mont which she cccupies is one of quiet
taste and refinement accompanied by
that homey feeling which one senses,
in being with her. Just as I arrived,
the had been arranging some late fall
roses in an old cloisonne vase. Tire
touch of color and brightness was the
finishing touch to a perfect setting.
In fact, if one is just a little tired
of the rush and worry of classes and
rtudy, if the weekly letter from mother
has failed to arrive and one feels just
a touch of homesickness, there could
be no better prescription for dispensing
with cares than a visit to tho apart
ments of Miss Broeksmith. It acts
as an absolute chaser of despondency.
Rudd Named President

ciation of Inter-Collegiate Managers.
Rudd, at the request of the president
of the association, spoke on “The Sun

the first institutions in the country to
establish a Sunday edition of the daily.
Several copies,of the Sunday Emerald
were taken to the conference for dis
play. •

Another Nash Improvement
Perfect Carburetion
by Automatic
and Complete Evaporation
tjf The driver of a new Nash is
charmed and delighted with its
flexibility. The big motor sweeps
up the steepest hills with an ease
that is a revelation. The Nash
also goes in and out of traffic
ahead of the others, quickly and
safely without the old jerking
and “bucking” that comes as a
result df faulty carburetion in
the average car. When the driver
checks up on his mileage, he
finds that his gas bill is lower and
that he is getting a good many
more miles to the gallon than
heretofore. Such performance is
accomplished by
An ingenious, automatic control
that enables the most complete
vaporization at all times. This
device adjusts at all times, the
temperature of the carburetor,
in precise accuracy to the de
mand of the motor at all speeds.
This variation of heat is accom
plished by a rod connecting the
damper lever with the carbure
tor throttle lever. Furthermore,
for the greatest economy of fuel,
there is an air heater around the
two tubes connecting the carbu
retor and exhaust valve cham
ber. Thus the right amount of
heat is obtained exactly at the
right time.
tj The improvements set a new
standard of carburetion, which
brings to the driver a new pride
in Nash ownership.
Performance Counts
