ELAINE COOPER
OPENS MEETING
Christian Church Is Scene
of Endeavor Meets
BOSTON MAN LECTURES
“Friends of Christ,” Topic
of Dr. E. P. Gates
Elaine Cooper, state president of
the Christian Endeavor societies,
opened the first meeting of the con
vention last night, at the Christian
church. Miss Cooper is a graduate
of the class of ’22, and while on the
campus was prominent in debate, be
ing on the varsity team for four
years. She is a member of Zeta
Kappa Psi, Eutaxian and Alpha
Delta Pi, and was the winner of
the Failing prize in 1922.
Dr. E. P. Gates of Boston, national
secretary of the Christian Endeavor,
delivered the address of welcome, en
titled “Friends of Christ.” The
talk was based on three verses of
Scripture, which Dr. Gates believos
strike the keynote of a convention
of this kind.
Urges Bible Beading
“Just as there is right of way
where railroads or radio are con
cerned, so there should be right of
way in a person's character for
Christianity,” he said. “I am sure
that the average person cannot quote
correctly more than 10 passages of
Scripture.” Dr. Gates brought out the
point that the Scriptures should not
be put aside until a person has time
to do a lot of reading, any more than
correspondence should bo left until
thero is a deskful to answer, but that
a little should be read every day.
“The hardest job these days is to
let the world know that you and I
aro followers of Christ,” he said.
“When it is fashionable on Sundays,
wo are not afraid to show that we aro
followers, but on the other six days
of the week, it is the hardest thing
that I know of to do.
Has Faith in Youth
"i wonder sometimes it tho roason
that people have no more enthusiasm
for religion is not because of the
dried, stale way in which it is served
' and tho fact that many people
do uot practice what they preach.
Tn spite of the fact that so many
seem to think that the young people
of today are becoming immoral, I do
not believe that they are any differ
ent from those of any other time,
except that they are in a modern
environment. Nevertheless, there never
wns a time when young people needed
to stand out for Christ as they do
in the modern times of today.
Is Member of Bar
I>r. Gate's was a lawyer bofo^o
taking up Christian Endeavor work,
and is still a member of tho bar in
the East, lii speaking of his change
in occupation, lie said: “There is
nothing at all emotional about it.
Every fellow wants to put his life
where it will count most. It is just
a matter of putting it there. ij
thought I had a better chance for, ■
a life investment in this work than
in a life as a lawyer. There is not ■
much money in it, but there is much
moro fun.
“In my present position, 1 have the
chance to talk to thousands of young
people,-and it is a mighty nice tiling
to be able to feel that in your talk,

get more out of his life.”
There are approximately 900 dele
gates at the convention, and at least
'100 more are expected. Accommoda
tions for the guests are being made
at Susan Campbell, Hendricks and
Friendly halls, as well as among
people of Bugene.
DEAN COLIN DYMENT’S
WORKS IN BIG DEMAND
“The Ethics of Journalism,” by
Nelson Antrim Crawford of Kan
sas State college, which was pub

ten by Dean Colin Dymant and

more than a million words. The
copies of all his formal writings
will be sent to Stanford, but the
private correspondence relating to
the military and casualty history
of the division was previously
asked by the University of Wash
ington for its 91st Division col
lection.

tion of a Latin ode, written by Mr.
Dyment, has just been reproduced
together with the original in the
University of Toronto Alumni
Monthly.

University People Perform
at Theater Opening
Virgil Mulkey and Catherine
Sartain Entertain at Oakridge
“The Great Magical Mulkey, in a
variety of astounding new feats of
magic and ventriloquism; Eamayama,
the famous Oriental dancer — two
great artists seldom seen except on
the metropolitan stages.” Thus read
the posters proclaiming the. perform
ances of Virgil Mulkey and Cather
ine Sartain, students of the Univer
sity, who assisted with the opening
of the first theater in Oakridge, Ore
gon, recently.
Mulkey did several magical tricks,
while Miss Sartain entertained with
dancing. Both are well known as
entertainers in Eugene, and their
acts were heartily received at the
mountain city. Mulkey is majoring
in dramatics, and expects to take up
magic as a life work, while Miss Sar
tain is a major in the school of phy
sical education and expects to teach
dancing some day.
VALUED BOTANY WORKS
RECEIVED AT LIBRARY
An important set of botanical
periodicals has already been re
ceived by the library. The set is a
collection called “Contributions
from the Gray Herbarium of Har
vard University,” and includes
volumes three to five and to 62,
inclusive. Prof. Albert R. Sweet
ser, head of the botany depart
ment, has been anxious for some
time to have the periodicals pur
chased and the new additions make
the library set complete with the
exception of one or two early num
bers. The set will be used in tire
botany department.
Another interesting book among
very recent ones is “Origin of
Washington Geographic Names/’
by Edmond S. Meany, professor of
history at the University of Wash
ington. Of special interest is the
fact that the book is dedicated to
Herbert Thomas Condon, son of the
former Oregon professor for whom
the Condon oaks and the Condon
museum were named. Herbert Con
don is a graduate of U. of O. and
is at present connected with the
University of Washington.
“The architecture of the Renais
sance in Tuscany,” by Carl Von
Stegman and Heinrich Von Glymul
ler, is an attractive addition. The
book illustrates the most important
churches, palaces, villas and monu
ments with plentiful and artistic
illustrations. »

“ Ax Billy’s for Piece Goods”
—Coined of continuous usage,
Ax Billy’s for yard goods is a
phrase that describes a phase
of Eugene.
—“Ax Billy’s for yard goods,”
says the public by common cus
tom, thereby compressing into
four words what scarcely can
be told in a page of small
print.
—For what is new, what is
fashionable and, finally, for the
advantages of most and (em
bracing completeness in stocks,
Eugene truly says: Ax Billy’s
for piece goods.
