'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.

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.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION
CLASS IS UNUSUAL
Nine Girls are Enrolled in
Dancing Group
Two senior majors in the depart
ment of physical education are con-,
ducting an unusual class in individ
ual gymnasium. 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.
MILITARY FINALS TO END
TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK
All classes in the military depart
ment are completing their regular

class hours. The R. O. T. C. band

term and will not meet again until
January 6.
