POISON OAK STILL
PROVES MENACE
Difference in Hue Does Nol
Decrease Danger
DOCTOR GIVES REMEDIES
Cause of Infection Lies in
Secretions of Oil
Poison oak, as much in style in
the winter months as in the sum
mer, is always present in one or
more cases for treatment, accord
ing to Dr. W. K. Livingston, physi
cian in charge of the clinic work.
There are at present only a few
cases, none of which are in the
infirmary. The cases occurring
now, he thinks, are probably due to
the fact that the plant is so hard
to recognize since its change in
color. In the fall weather the bril
liant hues of brown and red made
it almost irresistible for decorating,
while now it has only slender stalks
and no foliage.
One house-mother has had a
window box outside the window
all fall, with poison oak in it, so
that all the girls would know what
to avoid. This might be a wise
plan for others to follow, according
to Dr. Livingston, as poison oak
only comes through contact, because
the oil particles, which are the real
cause, are non-volatile and do not
fly through tho air, sa many think.
Any one who is very susceptible
does not need to touch tho plant
to get its poison, but may get it
from contact with clothing that has
the oil particles on it.
.Remedies are easily obtained and
■are usually effective if used im
mediately, declares Dr, Livingston.
Some of tlie commonest aro baking
soda, laundry soap, and alcohol, all
of which Berve to remove the oil
particles because of the alkali they
contain. If alcohol is used it
should be washed off after applying
and not left to dry on the skin.
Toilot soaps do not dissolve the
oil because they lo not contain
alkali. Potassium permanganate in
a fairly strong solution will remove
the oil, but it stains tho skin a
brownish purplo which may only be
removed with oxalic acid.
For those individuals with little
resistance, there is a poison oak
toxin which, when taken inwardly,
builds up the individual resistance,
making a much milder form, con
tainued the doctor. There are also
alcohol capsules for intermuscular in
jection. These remedies do not al
ways cure, but tend to lighten tho
effect of the poison oak. The vari
ous washes used only tend to dry
up and prevent spreading and itch
ing. Dr. Livingston issued the
warning that any of these will fail
if the person waits too long before
using.
Valuable Art Works
in Warner Museum
(Continued from page ono)
Sag a school of art hero which will
make use of the influence of
Oriental work. “1 wish that we
might evolve an art school of our
own,” she stated, “which will take
over from the Japanese and the
Chinese what is adaptable to our
art and pleasing to us.” She pointed
out an example of this type of
work, which was ’done by Helen
Ilvde, the American artist who be
came famous for her interpretation
of Oriental prints and translated
their meaning into an expression of
her own.

Personal Library Included
It is in the interests of such t
movement that Mrs. Warner has
included her personal library con
taining both folios and illustrated
volumes accompanied by notes which
explain the significance of the orig
inals of which illustrations are
copies.
Several of the folios have been
compiled by the . curator at the
Louvre in Paris and all contain
copies of old and rare prints which
make them of practical value to
art students. A great deal of this
type of work is carried on by the
French and for this reason many
of the editions are published in
that language. The wide variety
of design available for students to
study is one of the features of these
illustrated folios and is of obvious
value to students of design and
color theory.
The exhibits of these folios will
be varied during the year, and al
though there is not adequate space
for them in the present quarters of
the museum, all of them will bfe
shown at different times to the best
advantage possible.
HIGH SCHOOL DEBATES
University High Students Show
Keen Interest In Activity
The class in social problems at
the University high school held a
throe-day debate this week on the
subject of Socialism. The debate
was watched by the entire school
and a decided interest was shown
in the ability of the speakers.
A movement has since been in
augurated by one of the members
of the student body to make debat
ing one of the activities of the
school. Ho says that these class
debaters showed a good deal of tal
ent which could be improved with
mor« study and practice and he also
points out the advantage the school
Has in its access to the University
library.

I ADDITION TO FRIENDLY
NEARING COMPLETION
Construction of Walks on Campus
Belayed by Rainy Spell:
Bepot Unfinished
flie addition at the rear of
h riondly hall, which has been under
j construction .for a number of days
past and is now nearing completion
is being built to accommodate an
| enlargement of the hajl kitchen,
necessitated by added refrigeration
equipment, according to H. M.
fisher, superintendent of grounds
and buildings.
It has been planned, Mr. Fisher
says, to lay a number of new con
crete sidewalks at different points
on the campus where they will
facilitate keeping the buildings
dean and add to the convenience
and comfort of the students.
Thirf program was started in No
vember, with the construction of the
new walks at Oregon and commerce
buildings, and laying o\f la new
walk on the University street side
of the architecture department. The
concrete work now being done in
front of the administration build
ing is also part of the program
which may have to be delayed if
the weather becomes sufficiently un
favorable.
The shifting of headquarters of
the University depot from the old
building to the new power plant has
met with a temporary delay. Some
of the finishing touches to the in
terior are not yet complete and will
require the attention of the car
penters, who fbr the past week
have been heavily pressed with
work in the repair department, ac
cording to Mr. Fisher.

CHRISTMAS CIFT '
QUESTION SOLVED
The perennial question that fins
bothered the ladies since the first
home-spun sock was hung on the old
fireplace has been solved. What to
get for the men of the family that
will make them feel that Christmas
is a real period of gift giving and
not a rummage sale need no more
worry the inhabitants of the campus.
No more will it be necessary for
the co-eds to buy up the surplus
bargain counter ties and last year’s
sox in this year's Christmas boxes
and unload them on their men friends.
They need but take heed of our sug
gestions and make this year end a
real time of joyful surprise for the
I • ‘ other half. ’ ’
The very thing that would make
the big “hit” with your man friend
is an above the average genuine pipe
of the latest design. A long one for
the evenings at home is the very
thing that he wants.
There are pipes of all sizes and
shapes, of all qualities and prices to
fit every pocket book. A. real jimmy
pipe for the out-of-doors hits the
spot where many others would not
fit in.
If “he” lias been wise enough to
avail himself already of our desira
ble display of pipes, then load the
Christmas tree with a big jar of his
favorite tobacco. Although mother j
will probably be off of your sup
plying him with the extra ammuni
tion for scenting up the curtains,
you’ll make a hit with the head of
the house that will he hard to beat.
The males on the campus take no
tice also. Tiny gifts for men that
you would buy for yourself. Make
this a Christmas of real joy to the
I men by giving them OHAK'ft pipes'
Iclgnrettes, cigarette holders, cigars, j
real tobacco and others too numerous
(to mention.
BIG BATTLE DUE;
STUDENS SIGN
UP AT OBAK’S
I lie big battle of the year appears
in tlie near distance. The great war
cloud grows darker and more threat
ening as it accumulates mass on the
horizon. The peaceful hamlet of Eu
gene is again threatened with that
annual struggle.
Extensive preparations are being
made in the faculty camp, it is re
ported for the leading attack. Be
yond doubt the struggle will be
pushed by this faction as the com
plete plan of attack was published
in the official student organ, the
Emerald, just a few days ago. Tt
was claimed that this document came
originally from the enemy headquar
ters and was offered as a warning to
the student population that hanger
lay ahead and that preparations for
protection should be made.
TTp to press time no activity of
a defensive nature was detected in
the ranks of the younger generation.
One organization, however, that
has always been noted for its ag
gressiveness and forwardness in the
face of the greatest disasters has
made ready for anv contingency by
putting itself in order to receive any
soldier of the student rank who may
need aid, refreshments or retirement
from the field of battle. Tt is
OBAK’S of course.
Open all of the time it will always
bo ready with its famous service to
serve the famished fighters with food
of unsurpassed quality at a price
they can easily afford to meet. It
will continue to serve the very
best of everything from water to roast
beef.
It will open up its pool and re
creation rooms to the weary and will
afford them ample chance to refresh
their tired brains for more action
when they again take up pen. pencil,
and blue book.
1 more or less indefinite on certain
| duties of its officers, and incom
prehensible in some rules and regu
; lations. Tbe new constitution will
itemize definitely the duties of each
officer and set forth a code of rules
I that can be easily understood by the
girls.
In addition to the improvement
of the constitution, an experiment
in self-government is to be made.
This is possible because of the
connection of the house-mothers of
Susan Campbell and Hendricks halls
with the administration of the Uni
versity, and if the experiment is
successful it may be definitely
adopted.
“It is up to the girls to prove
whether or not they are able and
willing to have self-government 'in
the halls,” said Miss H. Broeksmit,
who is house-mother of Susan Camp
bell hall.
GEOLOGY COLLECTION
WILL BE ENLARGED
Fossils Found at Glide Oregon By
Bryan Hendon; to Be Used
for Master’s Thesis
Additional fossils, including a
large number of snails, are to be
added to the collection In the
geology department. The latest
finds are specimens of the Eocene
period found near Roseberg.. Bryan
Hendon, graduate assistant in the
geology department, collected the
fossils. Most of them were found
at Glide, Oregon, in the region of
the Umpqua river.
Hendon is at present studying
and classifying the fossils. He will
compare these recently discovered
specimens with those at present in
the collection of the geology de
partment. The results of the analogy
will be used in part as material for
his master’s thesis.
Dr. E. L. Packard accompanied
Hendon on his trip. He had pre
viously made several trips to the
region and 'ocated deposits con
tain ir.c numerous fossils. Accord
ing tu Dr. Packard the formations
in this locality are partkulirly
abundant In specimens of the Eocene
period. Dr. Packard spent two
days in the region, working with
Hendon.

justifies opinion. The ideal is to ;
find out what is true as interpreted
by human experience, studied as ex
haustively as possible.
It is just this thing, this refusal j
to bow to traditional authority of j
holy church or holy Bible, unless
justified by human experience, that
characterizes Unitarians and other
modernists.
It is an issue between religions j
authority and religious free-thinking. |
It does not end necessarily in ath

an entirely new spiritual adventure.
All who seek a church in which
there is freedom of thinking and
speaking and tolerance in all mat

ship in our “Little Church of the
Human Spirit."
The sermon Sunday morning will
by the pastor Frank Fay Eddy dis

In connection with the Church
School which meets immediately af

has a class in the philosophy of re

Vera Todd Crow another class in the
study of the Beta Testament for
University women. These classes
meet in the Manse adjoining the
