A1 Trachman Assignment Editor Daily News Editor This Issue Night Editor This Issue Leonard Lerwill George Belknap 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.” COMMUNICATIONS Letter* to the Emerald from student* end faculty membem are welcomed, but mint, be signed and worded concisely if it is desired, the writer’s name will be kept out of print.

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. Get the Classified Ad habit. 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.

Smith, Oregon’s ambas sador to the Washington homecoming, started on the first lap of his journey today. The varsity line-up for the Oregon Cougar game presents a formidable ap pearance. Ten patients were confined at the in firmary yesterday. Approximately $25,000 will have to be raised to complete the interior of the new Music building. Everything in connection with the Homecoming program is ready for the big event, according to Jack Myers, chairman of the pep rally. A series of articles on mining, writ ten by Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the geology department, have appeared in “Mineral Resources of the Philip pines in 1919 and 1920.” The Other Campus FLASH VTEWS*OF THE DOINGS OF COLLEGE FOLK ELSEWHERE Dudley DeGroot, 1922 football cap tain, is one of the five candidates for the Rhodes scholarship fund who have been chosen to represent Stanford in the final selection to be held in San Francisco this month. Opening exercises marking the one hundred and seventieth year at Colum bia University were held recently. Total registration at Columbia is ex pected to approach the 30,000 mark this year. • • • A bucket is being passed at football games at the University of Minnesota to raise money in order to send the band to Wisconsin with the football team. .* . . Twenty-five different athletic sports are in vogue at the University of Wis consin, and 4,200 men took part in them last year. Showing the keen interest in sports in Canada, a recent issue of the Mc Gill (Montreal) Daily, carried nearly 300 column inches on sports and less than 200 inches of other reading: matter. The Cub, a freshman newspaper, re cently made its appearance at the Uni versity of Michigan. The frosh will be allowed to print the publication for a brief trial period. The paper, which is a bright green in color, is published every two weeks. 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 Of Press Conference (Continued from page 1) attended the first meeting of the Asso ciation of Inter-Collegiate Managers. Rudd, at the request of the president of the association, spoke on “The Sun day Emerald,” Oregon being one of 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. • Members Are Listed Members of the three organizations are: University of Washington, Seat tle; Washington State college, Pull man; Gonzaga college, Spokane; Whit man callege, Walla Walla; University of Oregon, Eugene; Oregon Agricul tural college, Corvallis; Willamette uni versity, Salem; University of Calif or ■■ " ■ ■■ nia, Berkeley; University of Southern California, Los Angeles; University of California, Southern Branch, Los Ange les; University of Idaho, Moscow; University of Nevada, Beno; Univer sity of Montana, Missoula, and Univer sity of British Columbia, Vancouver.

BARBARA LA MARR EARLE WILLIAMS WALLACE BEERY Pat 0 ’Malley Renee Adoree REX NEWS WEEKLY ROSNER’S MUSICAL SCORE REX COMIC NOVELTY 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.
