RESEARCH WORK ROHE BY CHEMIST Dr. Tingle’s Process Will Utilize Wood Waste INVENTOR IS OPTIMISTIC Nature of Material Used Produces Dark Paper The object of the research being done in the University chemistry department by Dr. A. Tingle, who is using the University’s labecatory, is to develop a method which will turn certain wood waste into pulp for use in paper making. “Ex pectations are,” said Dr. Tingle with a cheer of optomism, “that the process will soon be ready for the market. All of this research carried on to date in laboratories has been rather successful. The results are encouraging.” The three existing chemical methods, the sulphite, sulphate and sada processes of making paper, re quire a good deal of uniformity in the size and nature of the wood chips to be pulped. “Waste wood is not uniform in either size or shape. If the waste! wood is to be cooked into pulp, a special process must bo provided. In the old process this would mean that the small would be overcooked when the large are still in an undercooked stage.” Waste Wood Dark “I am not trying to produce white paper, in this process,” said the chemist. “The reason for this is that the original waste wood is too dark to make white pulp. It will not, therefore, bo useful for news print. It is hoped, however, to turn out somo form of a dark, and strong wrapping paper.” Dr. Tingle’s method may become a competitor of the kraft process which was developed in Germany and is now used so extensively throughout the world. “The new method has two advantages over the kraft process,” continued tile inventor, ‘‘first it utilizes wood waste, and second, it requires a smaller manufacturing plant and takes less capital to command it. West Makes Newsprint “There is some doubt in my mind whether or not tho now pro cess will be adaptable to the west ern conditions. Tho west makes principally news print, and tho con ditions uro radically different be tween the eastern and tho western systems. I have designed my pro cess to meet the eastern conditions.” Dr. Tingle expressed his opinion that the time is coming when the west will manufacture the better grade of paper. Ultimately tho center of gravity of the paper, as far as tho United States is con cerned, will shift from New Ung land to the westf, was his opinion. Trained Men Needed '•‘The people of Oregon can help to bring this about by encouraging the necessary studies in their edu cational institutions. Research car ried on in an academic spirit by carefully trained men is a great, need of the paper industry. The western manufacturers are doing their share, but work is still needed aucli as cannot be done in factory surroundings. Do not imagine, however, that even the best of schools can turn out a paper chem ist. lie ran be made only by hand. Dr. A. Tingle has been working on his method for two years now with very promising results. He paid high tribute to the University chemistry department, which is let ting him use its laboratory. His doctor of philosophy degree was taken at tho University of lYnnsyl vania.

' GLEE CLUB CONCERT PLEASES AUDIENCE (Continued from page one) “Long Ago in Alcala,” by Messager, sung by Aubrey Furry, who pos sesses a rich basso vsice, found particular favor with the audience. Roy Bryson, tenor, pleased the audience with the corresponding variety of expression which he gave to his rich mellow voice. His best numbers were “Night,” by Rach maninoff, and “Khaki Lad.” The Fireside Songs sung by the Glee club were well received by the audience, inasmuch as they were beautifully rendered in a setting that made one feel as if one were really by a'fireside dreaming away the evening hours with pleasing harmony. The varsity quartet, as in former years, proved one of the outstand ing features of the program. “Ten Ten-Tenncssee” and “That Old Gang of Mine” were among their numbers. “The Soft Shoe Shuffle,” given by Lyle Palmer, and “The Bolshevik Duo,” by Muller and Cooley, constituted the principal feautres, but Russel Brown, ap pearing as tne great prima cionna, Madame Goshladinkladankla, stop ping \n Eugene enroute to Europe, was the biggest hit of the evening. “Madame’s” charming manner and falsetto soprano voice delighted the audience more than once. The concert was closed by the singing of Oregon songs by the quartet, Oleo club, and former members of the club. John Stark Evans, tho director, said last night, following tho concert, that he felt tho gleo club had appeared before one of the most appreciative audi ences before which any club under his direction had yet appeared, and he was very proud of tho fine spirit of co-operation expressed by tho students. “COLLEGE” NO RETURN ADDRESS FOR LETTERS University Postal Officials Get Stamp to Inform Students of Mistake in Writing The University depot’s recent ac quisition of a rubber stamp is go ing to mean sad consequences to some of the students. This threat was uttered by postal authorities (in account of the many letters received daily with no other address than the word “College.” And this rub ber stamp is going to bo vigorously alppliod, saying the “College” is not tho correct address. So students are warned of the necessity of cor rectly addressing their mail. Up to llie present time such mail lias been addressed at the Univer sity depot, but many times oven tho name of the person to whom the mail is sent cannot be found. If there is no return address, the fail is sent to the dead letter office. Postal matter would bo handled much more expeditiously if there wore not the delay and bother of hunting up addret^es. All new students are especially requested to leave their addresses at the depot. ALFRED POWERS PUBLISHES ARTICLE IN "SUNSET” Alfred Powers, of the University extension division, had an article in the January number of “Sunset.” Mr. Powers described a woman of about 50 years of age who lives in the mount aims of southern Oregon, gathering the bulbs of mountain plants.

And is his work nearing comple tion? Hardly—for he has yet a list" of 30,000 or so names which he is working at, and which will take a great deal more of time and patienco to compile and catalogue. How many of us have climbed to the top of Spencer’s Butte, and ex plored its rocky summit, but have never thought how it happened to bear its name. An interesting little tale is woven about it which goes back to the time the Hudson Bay company sent a party to California for horses and cattle. In the party was a young Egnlish man named Spencer. Camp was made just west of the butte on what is now known as Spencer’s creek. The young Englishman, being some what of an adventurer, decided to climb to the top of the butte and left the camp with his gun. He failed to return and search was in stituted. About halfway to the top, his body was found, full of arrows, scalped, naked, and his gun and am munition taken. What harrowing details of circumstantial evidence one might imagine. The surprised attack, the useles sstruggle and the final succumbing to the inevitable. He was buried near where he was found and the mountain named Spencer’s Butte. The Indian name is Champ-a-tee, meaning Battlesnake Butte. And how many struggling frosh, climbing up Skinners Butte, with a can of yellow paint under one arm, have ever thought of the significance of the name. Eugene Franklin Skin ner, who came to Oregon in 1846, owned a large tract of land, around 40 acres, upon which Skinners Butte was located. He built a small log cabin on the west slope of tho Butte and afterwards donated the whole tract to the City of Eugene, which, by-the-way, was also named after him, by his wife. The cabin was the first house to be built in the city. Who would have thought that the I queer combination of letters, “Will arbet, ” would ever come down to the present generation in the form of the musical name “Willamette,” which has the beautiful Indian in terpretation of “green water,” first applied to the river in 1807. And onr own Oregon, which first became famous when William Cullen Bryant, in his jmmortal “Thana topsis” that part of it in which ho speaks of losing one’s self in the [ woods, “Where rolls the Oregon, and knows no sound save it’s own dashing. ’ ’ Pages upon pages, Mr. Steel has in his library of the history of Ore gon ’s names, and if one has an hour or so to spare he could spend it in no better place than hunting through this little library for some half for gotten childhood haunt, whose name you hare often wondered about and A Special Dinner Every Friday Evening A Special BAKED HAM DINNER 60c * Southern Style Try It Telephone 30 for reservations The Anchorage “Mac”—The Old Reliables—“Jack” VARSITY BARBER SHOP llth and Alder Hair bobbing a specialty j — - - .

VARSITY SWIMMING WORKOUTS STARTED Early Practice Points Toward Strong Team; State Meet to be Held in Corvallis Active swimming workouts have i keen started under the watchful eye of Coach Fahl. Although no j definite schedule has been arranged jas yet, Fahl stated that the state meet this year will be held in Cor vallis early in February. From the way the men hajve been showing up in early practice, all | indications point toward a strong aquatic team. Sousa, a new man, is out for the plunge. R. Sinclair, a breaststroke candidate, has been showing wonderful form from the stairt, and it will be hard to keep him from capturing a place on the varsity. Coach Fahl has a large crop of candidates out. Among these are Palmer, Horsfall, Gardner, Yoran, Herron, McCabe, Lee, Angell, Wis wall, Eye, Heider, Mauthe, Smith and Burt. The tank in the Wo man ’s building will be used by the swimmers every Tuesday and Fri day evenings, commencing at 7:30 o ’clock. Don Park, student swimming manager, has charge of the fresh man material. He has been putting his proteges in shape for a trial meet with the varsity, which will be staged soon. The frosh have been turning out regularly and are rounding into form.

TWO NEW BOOK CASES INSTALLED IN LIBRARY Reading Room Gets Extensions; Public Telephone Booth to be Put in Basement Two now book cases have been installed in the reading room of the library (luring vacation, as a temporary expedient to take care of books that were on top of the cases in the stack room. It was necessary to remove the books be fore the two new tiers of stacks which have been ordered ceuld be put in . These will probably be i installed in about six weeks. Some new extensions for books were also made on the second floor ; of the library to relieve congested conditions. The book cases ac commodate about 2,000 books in all. Another addition to the library, made during vacation, is a public telephone booth in the basement. So many students have ^used the library phone that it was decided a good plan to have a public booth available. ?SYCHOLOGY CLASS TO SEE SLOW MOTION PICTURES i Edgar Means, graduate assistant | a the school of education, is se- j uring for his class work in Er.
