Entered aa second dass matter at the post office at Eugene, Uregon, unaer aci
of Congress of March 3, 1879.
Nature—of the “Homo Sapiens”
TRAIN puffed laboriously past the campus. On a side
street a Ford was spluttering and rattling as its owner
raced the motor in an enthusiastic effort to warm the engine
rapidly. In the distance sounded the familiar gong-gong of
the Fairmount trolley, and the deep rumble as it lumbered past
the Library. Overhead an airplane skimmed, circling, the char
acteristic high-pressure throb of its whirring power-plant float
ing lazily earthward.
““in the midst of this conglomeration of sounds and noises
stood a professor in his classroom. Pausing in his lecture until
the long freight had shrieked a warning to autoists at the High
way crossing, he smiled, albeit a trifle sadly, “If some sort of
mechanical earth-borer were only grinding out a burrow be
neath this building nothing more would be needed to completely
surround us with excellent examples of the ingenuity of man
and the wonders of mechanical inventions. ’
Perhaps more than one of the professor’s students felt a
glow of warm pride pervade his being as he contemplated that
he, too, was a modern, and a racial and contemporary relative
to the minds which had devised these wonderful contrivances
for conquering time and space. Perhaps more than one of the
professor’s students meditated further and thrilled with an in
toxicating ecstasy at the thought of man’s progress and triumph
over the sheer power of Nature. Such adulation of mankind
increases the self-concept and man straightens out the kinks in
his backbone, throws back his shoulders, takes a deep breath,
and exhales luxuriously, “I am not such a worm after all.
See how I have fettered Nature and bent her energies and re
sources to my desires."’
The seas, the land, ihe air, the earth have been bent to men’s
desires, true, but only bent, not broken. Like a spirited horse,
Nature serves, but only so long as she, in turn, is served by ac
quiesenee to her own laws and privileges. Mount her from the
off side, or brush unduly close to sensitive heels, and there are
violent reactions, an arched back, flying heels, and a broken
“homo sapiens.”
Three or the featured stones m last week s issue or a l’ort
land paper are significant in showing horseflesh has no monop
oly on balking. A doctor, alone, was fighting a diptlieria epi
demic in frozen Nome, cut off from the rest of civilization by
several days dangerous travel over snow-mantled bills and
frozen rivers. The Northern Lights might well flare and dance
with triumphant glee, leaping high now and again with silent
chuckles, as Death hovering over the stricken, claimed this one
and that with clammy fingers.
In the mantle of a dense fog, two small lifeboats laden with
an exhausted and suffering crew pitched and wallowed on a
raging sea. Somewhere, hidden in the thick grey blanket be
hind them, with davit falls dangling in mute testimony of de
sertion, staggered the Caoba in drunken lurches, waterlogged.
Down below the light of the sun, in the damp earth, a man
lay helpless, with foot pinned to the floor of a winding tunnel
just high enough to wriggle through with belly in the dust.
Fellow creatures, anxious to extricate poor Collins, were claw
ing helplessly at the fallen boulder imprisoning the under
ground explorer. Many days have passed and the Kentuckian
still lies gripped in the inexorable jaws of that frightful trap.
It is so, when man, boasting, proclaims his superiority and,
gloating, cracks the whip on spirited withers, that dark eyes
roll, displaying flaming white rings; that ears flatten menac
ingly; that a sharp hoof strikes down and crushes—the worm.

MANY SIGNED UP FOR
LIFE SAVING CLASSES
Life saving is proving popular j
among the men of the University j
and the allotted number of students ,
who may receive instruction in this
line is rapidly being filled up. In
structor Rudolph Fahl reports that
38 men, out of th e45 allowed, havd
signed up all ready, and that re
cruits are coming in faster every
'day.
The instruction in this line of
athletics is being carried on as part
Of the work program of the Red
Cross Life Saving corps.
Later in the term an examination
will be held. Judges of the try
outs will be L. E. Palmer, Lloyd
Webster, Robert Bortlett, L. Hob
litt and Rudie Fahl. Four of these
men are required to be present
'when any man is taking the test.
Men cannot take the exam without
having previously received instruc
tion. The men who pass the test
will be the objects of the Red
Cross corps I and II when they
launch their drives for new mem
bers in the near future.
Y. W. C. A. POSTTONES
MEETING FOR TODAY
The regular meeting of the Y.
W. C. A. which was scheduled for

found it inconvenient to be here.
She will speak at the meeting next
week.
The meeting was originally sched
uled for last Thursday, but because
of the Fred B. Smith meetings it
was postponed. However, if noth
ing interfers, the meeting will be
next Thursday.

STUDENTS AT BROWN
VOTE AGAINST CHAPEL
Brown University.—Brown uni
versity students voted 460 to 290
against compulsory chapel which
has been in force there since 1754.
A vote was also taken concerning
the inauguration of afternoon
classes on the schedule this present
semester. By a vote of 600 to 154
they indicated their desire to re
turn to the old schedule.
Their objection was that men
working their way through college
have found late classes a hardship
and that the football coaches last
year complained that Brown would
soon be without an adequately
trained team unless the members of
the squad found it possible to re
port before 5 o’clock.

CONDITION OF CAMPUS
LAWNS IS EXCELLENT
The campus is going to have ex
cellent lawns this summer, the best
in years, prophesies H. M. Fisher,
superintendent of grounds. The
grass is growing fast, due to the
fertilizer which is being put on,
and the new grass is forming a
thick, dark green carpet.
Mr. Fisher has two men employed
mowing the grounds now. This is
the earliest spring mowing that has
been done for a long time, he says.

What
THE DANGER LINE
means to you
If you will look in a mirror, you will see a
tiny V-shaped crevice around each tooth
where it joins the gums. This is The Danger
Line. Food particles lodge there and ferment,
forming acids which lead to Acid Decay. The
gums also suffer from the effect of these acids,
becoming irritated and sore—perhaps reced
ing from the teeth. Then you have conditions
favorable to Pyorrhea.
Serious diseases often result from infection
due to Acid EJecay at The Danger Line.
Heart and kidney trouble and rheumatism
are among them.
Make The Danger Line safe
Squibb’s Dental Cream, because it is made
- with Squibb’s Milk of Magnesia, protects
against Acid Decay, relieves conditions favor
able to Pyorrhea, cleans and polishes beauti
fully and protects for hours after use. For
Milk of Magnesia has long been recognized
throughout the dental profession as a safe,
scientific means of counteracting acids danger
ous to the teeth and gums.
Buy Squibb’s Dental Cream, made with
Squibb’s Milk of Magnesia—today. It is de
lightful to use. It is free from abrasives and
injurious astringents. It makes The Danger
Line safe.

_SILVER KING_
Come on. Fellows, get your dates or stag it, put on
your sombrero, tell her to wear her lii-tops, and just
for fun hit the trail for the Heilig and see the wildest,
ridingest aetion-jammed piece of movie stuff that
ever lit on a silver sheet. And we’ll bet a new lid
you'll get a wallop out of it. too, because we say it’s
about the greatest piece of Western realism you ever
saw.
Then there’s an Our Gang comedy and Pathe News
that’s worth the price alone of two thin dimes for the
mat and three for the night show.
