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.

PETTICOAT POLITICS
■Woman—poets have sung of her,
men have placed her on pedestals
and knocked them from under her,
sagos have written more about her
than she knows about herself. 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.
