'Christmas Books’ is Thema Of Address From KGW That one should buy good books for his friends and relatives for Christinas presents, rather than small miscellaneous unnecessary things, likp doilies, handkerchiefs, pipes, and cigars, is the theme of a radio address to be given tonight by Mrs. Marion McClain, head of the University reference library. “Christmas Books” is the title of the lecture, ■which will be radio-cast from station KGW of the Morning Oregonian a( 8 o ’clock. “I am going to mention certain books that might make good pres ents,” said the reference librarian of the University library. “We be lieve that a policy of giving good books is much better than some of these things that are given as Christmas presents. “This does not mean that the youngsters should be denied toys and given some dry book that they might not understand. I thorough ly believe that our children should have their toys to play with. Nor does it mean that a person should not give things of his own produc tion that he knows would be dear to the heart of his friend. If a girl wants to make a handkerchief for her dear friend I certainly believe that it would be the best present she could give that friend. What I do moan is that a lot of this unnecessary trash could well be supplemented with some good books. “Will you mention classics, or popular books tonight in the lec ture,” Mrs. McClain was asked. “Are there any more classics be ing produced?” she smiled. A week from tonight Dr. Sweet ser, of the biology department, will broadcast a lecture entitled “Christ mas Flowers.” TUBERCULOSIS YIELDS TO HEALTH PROGRAM The only source of funds for the anti-tuberculosis work conducted and Public Health by the Oregon Tu berculosis Associ ation and its sev enteen affiliated County Public Health Associa tions, is the Christmas Seal Sale. Every per son who pur chased seals last J AO VlllillJl/U to the satisfaction of knowing that even at the small percapita expendi ture of 5 cents, over a period of a year, a long list of things was ac complished. Thousands of children were en rolled in the Modern Health Cru sade, and given the benefit of defi nite teaching and practice in the personal hygiene so necessary to good health. Public Health Nurs ing service was extended into a larger number of Oregon counties during the year than ever before. Free tuberculosis clinics wore held. Thousands of pieces of literature was distributed. Health films were circulated. Supplementary mater ial to aid in the required teaching of Health and Hygiene was offered to every teacher in the state. -^mother piece of the Associa tion ’s work, of the utmost value, is the making of surveys, and in vestigations regarding the tuber culosis situation in the state. The Bureau of Clinics and Surveys has been able to furnish accurate and up-to-date statistics that are fast cTystalizing public opinion in re gard to the desperate need of ad ditional tuberculosis hospital facil ities. IMPRESSIVE MEETING GIVEN BY Y. W. C. A. The delightful candle lighting ceremony, a part of the recognition meeting for new members of the Y. W. C. A., was declared exceedingly impressive by those who took part at the bungalow Thursday after noon at 4:30. A large candle, symbolizing the j divine light, was held by Florence Budk, president of the organiza tion and each of the members, in turn, lit small candles from the large one, signifying the securing ! of the inspiration for service. Fol lowing the lighting of the candles, Miss Buck read the recognition ser vice. Lois Covalt sang “My Task” and Olga Jackson, who was in charge of the music, gave a piano solo. The meeting was attended by an unusually large attendance, number, ing about sixty in all. \7agaries (By J. D.) A book of eross-word puzzles ’neath a bough Some layer cake, a jug of sop and Thou Beside me by the old Mill Race; Oh, such a place were paradise, I swowl Many an old flame has ended a match. San Francisco journalism has startled its readers with the asser tion that a new fish resembling a pear, shark, turtle, and a green pea, \ was seen by its discoverer—out ! past the twelve mile limit. There was a man in our town And he was wondrous busy; He worked while sitting down; You see he owned a Lizzie. The Flapper’s Ode to Love 11 built a mighty stronghold, And passed my heart within; Came a Knight Errant, soft and bold, Who thought my heart to win. He charged the stronghold fiercely And sought to break the wall; So strong he waged the battle The stronghold could not fall. But—hist—here lies the secret— He thinks he did«it all. But I, behind the rampart, Made slight openings in the wall. TYPICAL COSTUMES SHOWN IN ‘L’OMBRA’ “L’Ombra,” opera comique writ ten by Friedrich von Flotow, and given Wednesday night at the Eu gene armory, was presented by an all star cast of singers who have appeared before a number of the royal families abroad. The presentation was marked by special lighting effects brought by the opera company. The costumes which were typical of the latter part of the fifteenth century, were | made expressly for “L’Ombra” t>y Antoni Oberding, an official cos tumer of the Chicago Opera com pany. The opera, which was sung in English, is being presented for the first time in the United States. The coast to coast tour was started this fall, following a journey through Europe, The presentation in Eu gene was given under the auspices of the local chapter of the Ameri can Association of University Wo men. YOCUM AND PHILLIPS HAVE ARTICLE PRINTED In the current number of the American Naturalist there appears an article by Dr. Harry B. Yocom and Ben I. Phillips of the depart ment of zoology on the subject, •'•Luteal Cells and Sexual Dimor phism of Feathering in Wild Birds.” This is the second paper presenting results of investigations now being carried on by Dr. Yocom on the relation of the reproductive organs and feathering in birds. The first article entitled “Luteal Cells in the Gonad of tha Pha larope,” appeared in the .March number of the Biological Bulletin. The whole question under con sideration is one of much impor tance to the zoologist and involves a consideration of the relation of the reproductive glands to the so called secondary sexual character istics. It is hoped that further re sults will be obtained as the work progresses. FORMER OREGON STUDENT ANNOUNCES ENGAGEMENT Announcement of the engagement of Doris Fassett to O. W.

This class is part of an experiment conducted by Miss Harriet Thomson and Miss L/illian Stupp over a period of two years. Nine girls are enrolled in this class, which has come to be known in the department as thesis danc ing, due to the fact that this work constitutes the senior theses of the two majors in charge. This eeducational interpretative dancing was developed by Miss H. Doublar of the University of Wisconsin. It differs from other aesthetic dancing in that it uses all the joints and muscles of the body in their normal positions. Its aim is to develop strength, poise, and muscle control. If this experiment proves its value as a successful cor rective measure, it wTill probably be offered as one of the regular in dividual gymnasium classes in the near future. Each year for the past two years, eight or ten girls are selected from the individual gymnasium classes and given this work for one or two, terms. Selection has been based solely on their interest in dancing. While it is still too early to make an accurate estimate, the improve ment made by this year’s classes tallies with the marked improve ment made by similar classes last year.
