Instructions for Planting Will be Sent Out AIM IS TO IMPROVE CITY Women’s Clubs of Eugene Sponsor Movement This week in Eugene introduces a tree planting campaign through out the city. Prof. E. E. DeCou of the University, who has been asked by the Federation of Women’s Clubs of Eugene to take charge of this work, has organized six com mittees in the various districts of j the city. Chairmen of these commit- J tecs are now carrying on the work i of taking orders for trees and as sisting local citizens in planting. The tree planting campaign is a part of a movement of the Federa tion of Women’s Clubs of Eugene to beautify the city and is regarded as the primary step in improving the appearance of local property. Miss Mozelle Hair, secretary of the extension department of the Uni versity, is head of this work for the clubs. Planting Is Discussed Instructions in methods of plant ing and information on the variety of treos best adapted to the soil in various localities in the city are included in a small folder, which has been issued by the committee and is available from any of the chairmen in the six districts into which the city has been divided. Tho cooperation of authorities on planting and soil conditions at O. A. C. and of several local experts has been of great assistance in the work of gathering information and makes the folder of great practical valuo to property owners who aro taking part in tho movement, ac cording to Mr. DeCou. Fisher to Help George W. Taylor, assistant in spector of trees and shrubs of Lane county, has volunteered his services in the supervision of planting and H. M. Fisher, superintendent of grounds on the campus, is assisting tho officials in tho campaign. Orders for trees are being taken now by committee chairmen, and planting is expected to start imme diately. By the end of tho soason it is expected that tliero will bo hundreds of now treos set out in tho park strips of the city. Tho plan for planting provides for cer tain varieties of treos to be used in particular streets so that the planting will bo uniform and thus add to its effectiveness.

Prescott; northeast dis trict, Miss Ida Patterson; College Ilill district, Samuel Rugli; western district, Mrs. Flora McDonald; northwest district, Mrs. Blaine 11. Hovey.

PHONOGRAPH UTILIZED TO TEACH LANGUAGES Many Persons Working for Doctor's Degree Take Course at University High Teaching languages by phono graph is til" method useil by Mrs. Kdith Baker Puttee, teacher of romance languages at the Univer sity high school. Mrs. Pat:c> has beer, using the phonograph system f.r several years and has in,ado quite a study of it. Her article on “The Use of the Phonograph in Class Work,” has been printed in tiie "Oregon Teachers' Monthly,” and in “The School Review,” which is published at the Univer sity of Chicago and is recognized as one of the best magazines on education in the United States. Mrs. Pattee lias reeeutly received a new set of records in French an i Spanish. They are of a new system called the Rosenthal method, which she likes better than any that she has tried before. All the beginning lessons are repented three times, first very slowly and distinctly and then slightly faster and last, us a connected discourse and at the speed of ordinary conversation. Mrs. Pattee says that the wonderful pro HEILIG TODAY ‘‘Loving Lies’ and “Why Elephants Leave Home” Not a sex picture ■■■■■■■■■■■ I nunciation and the genuinely for eign voices are the best points of the new system. Many persons who are working for a doctor’s degree', yet are be hind in language work, come to Mrs. Pattee and find that they can learn quickly by the phonograph method. . It is also very helpful to students who find themselves behind in class work, and to teachers who are in doubt as to certain pronuncia tions. Hie phonograph has the ad vantage that it will repeat any num ber of times without getting cross. Mrs. Pattee thinks that one of the greatest uses of the new method is to give to the traveler a working knowledge of the language of the country in which he plans to travel. The Rosenthal method has a num ber of phrases for general use that are of great help to prospective travelers. DR.

With the great increase in number of radio receiving sets all over the country, it is expected that Dr. Hodge will have a far greater audience, this year than last. lor the weeks following the le-' t in es by Dr. Crockatt, a special j series of locturos has been arranged by the Portland branch of the ex tension division.

Get the Classified Ad habit. They’re Tearing Down the House to See— BUSTER KEATON in “Our Hospitality” It's worth Trying to See TODAY The REX JEAN GERARDY Belgian ’Cellist Will be ] Concert Soloist I ABILITY HIGHLY LAUDED First Local Appearance to be at M. E. Church I l Jean Gerardy, great Belgian ’cel list, will be heard in concert Wed nesday evening, March 26, at the Methodist Episcopal church auditor ium. This marks the sixth concert sponsored by the music committee of j the associated students and admission, as usual, will be by student body ticket with townspeople paying the regular admission price. Jean Gerardy, whose fame is inter national, has toured the United States many times, however, this is his ini tial appearance in Eugene. He made his last tour prior to his enlistment in the Belgian army, and with each appearance the wonder grew that a man could be so great a master of his instrument. But Gerardy of to-1 day, say the critics, even surpasses the Gerardy of six years ago. His four years of active service in the war and the past two years which he spent in rest and study, have worked wonders in the further development of the great Belgian master. Artistry Is Praised Artistically, Gerardy is considered a genius, and personally he is fas cinating. It is said ho embodies every quality necessary for complete ly conquering his audiences. Ho is not a young man.for he was born 47 years ago on December 7, at Liege, where his father, Dieudonne Gerardy was a pianoforte teacher at the municipal conservatory. Jean at tho age of seven commenced his studies with Bichard Boellmann, and in less than two years won the second prize at the conservatory. In 1889, he was awarded the gold medal by! unanimous consent of the jury. When ho was ten years of age, he appeared in public for the first time. The following year, when he played at Lille and Aix-la-Chapelle, the newspaper critics hailed his as “an apparition destined to revolutionize the musical world.” Yaaye Is Impressed Eugene Ysave, world noted violin ist, who heard the boy during the | summer of 1888, was so greatly im ; pressed that he caused London ap pearances to be arranged where Ger iardy appeared jointly with him and ;Paderewski. Since then his successes have been continuous and phenomenal. “Jean Gerardy returned to us an incomparable ’cellist,” said the New York Globe following his concert in the metropolis. “One might, expiate |on his utter mastery of technique and indulge in purple and swollen praise of his marvellously rich and varied tone.” “Mr. Gerardy played with intensive The GROCETERIA The Home of Good Goods Two Phones, 1686, 267 48 Ninth Avenue East 6 Days! 3 Weeks! “AWoman of Paris” OPEN FOR BUSINESS “SHORTV” WILSON The Doughnut King Fresh doughnuts every morning.
