FILM WILL SHOW DISEASE OF PINE Oregon White Pine Tracts Now Threatened RUST SPREADS RAPIDLY Leslie Gooding Will Present Movie February 17 A film, depicting the ravages of the white pine blister rust, will be shown Tuesday morning, February 17, at eight o’clock in Deady hall. Mr. Leslie Gooding, field represen tative of the commission which is combatting this disease, brings this film to the campus. The white pine blister rust is a disease which is attacking the val uable pine forests of the Northwest. The disease has been discovered in British Columbia and has spread to northern Washington, and is threatening the sugar pine of Ore gon. Tf the disease spreads to Ore gon, it will mean a tremendous loss in valuable timber of the state. Film to Show Stages The film shown by Mr. Gooding will illustrate the various ,stages of the disease and will show how the white pine blister may be eradicated or combatted. The disease, according to Prof. Albert Sweetser of the botany de partment, is found in early stagos on the leaves of the gooseberry bush and the currant bush, especially the black currant, which is the cultivated species. Currant Vines May Be Routed The commission has been watch ing the progress of the disease and is sponsoring a campaign to route out the black currant vines of the state. If those bushes on which the blister rust thrives are routed, the spread of the diseaso will be prevented. “The eradication of this diseaso is of tremendous economic import ance to the state of Oregon, for it can ruin the tracts of sugar pine of the state,” said Professor Sweet ser. The meeting is open to the public. The film will be shown in room 105, Deady hall.

Now the politicians cock their heads and crow about the petticoat in politics. Their cries have almost drowned the now old fashioned admonition that the woman’s place is in the home. She has gradually left the fireside to slowly wedge her way into public life and she is on the verge of arriving. She has yet to prove herself, however. She has made good in business; she has succeeded in professions. Will she make good in politics? The entire nation is watching the two women governors, “Ms” Ferguson of Texas ami Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross, of Wyoming. If they succeed, public opinion will be kindlier toward the woman office holder, and others will be elected to office. If they fail, the nation will lose confidence in them. It has been said that neither of the governors were elected be cause of their knowledge of public questions or their leadership ability. SUPERSTITIONS OF BUSINESS RESEMBLE LORE OF MARINERS Professor Franklin E. Folts Explains Away Calamities That Happen on Friday the Thirteenth “In the business world super stition is just as prominent as it is on the sea, and everywhere else,” said Professor Franklin E. Folts, as sistant dean of the school of busi ness administration, in a radio lec Jture last night on “Friday—The Thirteenth.” The transmission was made from radio-easting station KGW of the Morning Oregonian. “When the thirteenth day of the month falls on Friday, we all notice it and the most of us remark that we can well be on the lookout for bad luck as the result of this coin cidence,” he said. Professor Folts spent a whole day surveying the business world trying to find how many of the business people are superstitious. He told the radio world about some of his findings in this survey. He told about the superstition of the quar ter, with the thirteen stars and the thirteen letters. “Most people won’t carry a quarter at all,” ac cording to one finding of his per sonal investigations on this subject in the actual world of business. He spoke of the superstition in the glove department of large de partment stores. It is supposed to be bad luck if the clerk shows a black glove to his customer first. So the clerk always manages to pull out a brown or a white one i<o as to be sure and make the sale. He cited an experience over the glove counter when he specifically asked for a pair of black gloves. He also pointed out three import ant panics that came on Friday. The two in American history were the Wall street gold panic of black Friday, September 24, 1869; and one on February 18, 1873. In the case of English history, the date was May 11, 1866. Quoting from his own experience, Professor Folts said, “I was one of a detail of twenty ordered from the Presidio, San Francisco, to France during the early days of the war. On the night of the thirteenth day out from New York, several of us were talking in the cabin about the roughness of the passage. One of the men present, a Scotchman, told us it was the thirteenth time he had crossed the Atlantic, and the worst trip of the thirteen. “We were still laughing about the thirteenth trip being so rough, when our ship was torpedoed. My Scotch friend, making his thirteenth trip, lost his life that night, the thirteenth day out from New York in a convoy of thirteen ships. Never the less we all know there is noth ing in that sort of thing. That Mrs. Ross was named merely to succeed her husband who died during his campaign is the opinion I of many. Mrs. Ferguson, although her campaign was based on live is sues, owes her place to the fight for the vindication of her husband who had been impeached. This sit uation. may be unfortunate, but if these women succeed, how much more successful will be the woman who has made a study of political conditions. Mrs. Ross, the first to be inaugurated, made a very good beginning. Her inaugural address consisted of less than 300 words. That was rather a blow at the popu lar maxims about woman and her tongue. College women should watch the careers of these two pioneer poli ticians with special interest for the business woman and the college graduate will be their logical suc cessors.—G. E. F. The first round of the doughnut handball schedule has been run off with the exception of the Oregon club vs. Phi Gamma Delta contest. Monday will bo the zero hour for the termination of this game. Six teams have climbed the first hurdle and are on their way to the championship. The new schedule will bo out the first of the week. The results of the games payed last week were: Alpha Beta Chi defeated Beta Theta Pi, 21-12, 21 7: Phi Sigma Pi defeated Bachelor don, 21 -S, 21-7 j Sigma Pi Tan de feated Psi Kappa, 21-6, 21-6; Kap pa-Delta Phi defeated Phi Delta Theta, 21-11, 21-13; Friendly hall defeated Chi Psi, 8-21, 21-8, *21-17; Kappa Sigma won over Sigma Nu and Sigma Alpha Epsilon drew a bye. The schedule for the next round will be completed the first part of the week. By this time it is ex pected that all contesting teams will have played at least one game. So far the schedule has been run off without undue delay. Oregon Basketball Team Leads Conference By Victory Over Idaho (Continued from page one) Oregon (481 Idaho (3d) Hobson (101. F .
