WARNER Laundryman and Ordinary Oriental Laborer Said to be Poor Basis for Comparison With Beal Civilisation of Country (By E. C.) (Few interviews travel half way around the world to be approved by the news source before publication. The following one was written last spring term for a class assignment, and, owing to the fact that Mrs. Murray Warner left Eugene soon after, the reporter, anxious to have it for the Emerald at the opening of school, sent it to her at New Hampshire during the summer. The travels of the manuscript from there can best be described by quot ing a letter received a few days ago from Mrs. Warner at Hong Kong. “Your letter of August 22, sent to me at Peterboro, N. H., was for warded to the International Bank ing Corporation, Shanghai; they in turn forwarded it to me in care of the same bank at Peking. “Because the war was going on, and very little, if any, mail getting through, I did not try to send your manuscript back to you. It was very well done.”) “This museum is for the further ance of the brotherhood of man,” said Mrs. Murray Warner, in speak ing of the collection of Chinese art in the Woman’s building, named in honor of her husband, who died while in China. She called attention to the fact that the prevailing American im prossion of Chinese people is made by a comparison of our people with the class of Chinaman which is common in America—the laundry man, and other uneducated Chinese laborers. “These people are generally from tlie Canton district,” she said. “Many are not even citizens of China. People who took part in the rebellion, years ago, were punished by being refused the permission to live on the land, and they have to live in boats.” This law is still in effect, and Mrs. Warner says that the majority of Chinese in this country are from this class of peo ple, who are outcasts of their own land. “Wo say that the Chinese people are this and that, and from whom do wo judge? The laundryman! Would we want our nation to be judged by our laundrymenf” she inquired. “My attention was first called to the American manner of comparison, when I was in a city in South Carolina. The superin tendent of schools there told me that the Chinese did not compare at all with the negroes. He pointed out first one and then another ne gro, who, he said, was so ‘faith ful. ’ It is true that the negroes are very faithful, but they can not build up a nation and civilization and keep art and literature alive, as the Chinese were able to do cen turies ago. He was judging the Chinese people by the laundrymen of that city, and comparing that class with the negro in this coun try.” Mrs. Warner stated thafl there are certain forms of art in ;China with which no other country in the world can possibly compete. “The porcelains and bronzes of China are incomparable. No one can equal their lacquers, or certain forms of painting. These were all done years and years ago, too. In several places on the balcony of a museum in Los Angeles are notices stating that no other country has been able to express the spiritual conception of the flower as the Chinese have. The embroideries and tapestries of Japan and China are unexcelled. “As this is the case, people of the Orient must not be judged by laun drymen. They have maintained a very high civilization through many centuries, in fact for many years before America was discovered. Their conception of the beautiful is admired by all nations and: ap preciated by all who attempt to un derstand it. “The idea of this museum is not for the exhibition of bronzes, por celains, art, tapestries, and armor, but for the purpose of getting our people to realize that there has been an advanced state of civiliza tion in the Orient—a high concep tion of the beautiful with effort to bring out their ideals in their work. Consequently we must at least respect them and admire them for what they have done and what they can do.” Randall, circulation manager Jerry Orary; assistant, circulation man ager John Black; Foreign ad vertising manager, Claude Reavis; assistants, Walt O’Brien, Hilton Rose and Neil Chinnock; Specialty advertising, Mildred Dunlap, Gen eva Foss; administration, Margaret Hyatt, Marion Phy, Fred Wilcox, Bonner Whitson, Bob Warner. George Godfrey Chosen Leader of New Sport Organization on Campus (Continued from page one) get-together soon. Last year at the football games, about one-half of the reporters could not tell one player from another, and that is the reason there were so many dis crepancies in the lineups and the stories. After this, we are going to know each man personally, so there won’t be as many different lineups printed as there are correspondents.” The next meeting or me uwnn-m tion will bo in the form of a lunch eon, February 4, at the Anchorage. Hichard Shore Smith, new football coach, and Virgil Fiarl, athletic di rector, will be invited. They will bo aaked to outline their athletic program for the year.

FRSSH Mm MEN LOSE Yearlings Show Up Weakly Against Opponents The University of Oregon froah wrestling team did not compare with Robin Reed’s Corvallis high school grapplers and thus were de feated last Friday evening at the college town. The victors carried off four matches while the Oregon babes had to be satisfied with a draw in one match. Jarrett, Oregon 135 pounder, put up a fast match with Vickers of Corvallis, and the pair wrestled three bouts, each ending with honors even. This was one of the best matches on the card. Jar rett formerly wrestled fcr Oregon City high school, which was unde feated for three years. In the opening match Kirkliam of Oregon lost to Britt of Corvallis by a decision. The first bout was a decision in favor of the victor, the second was called a draw and the final canto was a decision for Britt. These men wrestled at 121 pounds. Betzer of Oregon lost to Turner of Corvallis by two straight deci sions, in the 135 pound division. Oxford, frosh 145 pounder, lost to Huckel of Corvallis by a fall and a decision. The first bout ended in a draw. Oxford was thrown when he had a full Nelson on his oppon ent and in a roll the Oregon iman’s shoulders touched tlie mat. A full Nelson is barred in intercollegiate wrestling and the match could have been awarded to Huckel on a foul. Forbes, captain of the Corvallis grapplers, won two straight deci sions from Potter, Oregon 158 pounder. All of the bouts were fast and closely contested but the locals were not in the class with the win ners, who had been training with the O. A. C. wrestlers.

TIPS A Weekly Bulletin Published for House Managers by The Table Supply Co. EVER THINK OF ALL THE USES OF CHOCOLATE? There are a great many. Just sit down a minute and count them. But be fore you go over the ones you know, let us suggest something you probably never have tasted. Have you ever eaten chocolate in salads? It is different and delicious. Slice a banana in half and roll it in a sugar syrup and then in ground choco late and chopped nuts. Serve it on lettuce with mayonnaise and “oh’s” and “ah’s” will reward you. What is more delightful at a birthday dinner than a devil’s food cake with a creamy chocolate icing, or a fudge filling? Ask your friends how chocolate cookies appeal to them either with or without an icing. And then, chocolate pudding served with whipped cream appeals to everyone’s sweet tooth. A thick fudge sauce on ice cream could not he more popular. Ask the men at ice-cream fountains about the demands for chocolate sundaes. His reply will dispell any doubt as to the reception of such a de light in your house. We haven’t forgotten the joy of drinking choco late. With cinnamon toast or cheese dreams, there is nothing more appetizing. And chocolate fudge ! There is no need to dwell on its glory! Table Supply Co. 104 9th St. E. Phone 246 Don’t Judge From Appearances! THE earth LOOKS flat enough! That’s why so many thousand years came and went before our ancestors even suspected the terrestial globe of being round. Their eyes deceived them! Don’t depend upon appearances to guide you right. Don’t buy goods on the strength of looks alone. Mer chandise with a well-known name has the call. Only the maker of a good product can afford to advertise his name. Attempts to popularize unworthy goods can not succeed. Wise merchants and manufacturers seek the good papers to tell the stories of their wares. The publishers seek the reputable advertising for their readers’ guidance. Well-informed buyers seek news of good merchandise through the columns of the best papers. This proves the value of advertising. Neither adver tiser nor publisher can prosper without your patronage. Therefore, it is to their advantage to cater to you. They do it, too. 4 is distinctly to your advantage to be guided by the messages they lay before you—the advertisements. READ THEM REGULARLY!
