EDGAR LEE MASTERS
WILL SPEAK MONDAY
Author’s Works Possess
Universal Appeal
Edgar Lee Masters,—'“moralist
and social philosopher, the only poet
with Americanism in his bones”—
such are the epithets hurled when
speaking of the noted author-poet
who is to speak Monday, at the
Woman’s building.
Mr. Masters, who is a native of
Kansas, was brought up in that re
gion of the state of Illinois known
as “the Lincoln country.” His
father was a law partner of Lincoln
and was also his inspiration.
It so happens that his most fam
ous work, “Spoon River Anthol
ogy,” was written with a home set
ting. Not only has he earned fame
through this work but through its
criticism he has been termed an
“American Masefield with more
sense than Mr. Masefield but a
smaller poetic gift.” True Ameri
can, in the spirit of his poetry as
well as by birth, he has been
termed another Walt Whitman.
Even though his works are char
acterized by impersonality and oc
casional spurts of irony these very
qualities serve to bring out the per
sonalities of the characters of his
works with such perfect clarity,
such extreme reality that one does
not realize the presence of these
factors in the writer’s treatment.
Perhaps one of the things which
tend to make his works so popular
is their universal appeal. It has
been said of his Spoon River story
that not only has he succeeded in
presenting his character’s lives per
fectly, but in so doing, he has por
trayed life as it is everywhere.
Tickets will be on sale at the Co
Op and at Lara way’s Music store
for fifty cents. Student tickets
will be twenty-five cents.

which the Cosmopolitan club will (
stage on the campus, April 4, is j
progressing. With tke exception i
of Japan and Switzerland, plans »

Expert Speaks to Y. W.
Groups on Technicalities
Of Leading Discussions
(Continued from page one)
concentration of energy, and self
cultivation.
Technicalities of leading discus
sion groups were taken up by the
next group. In the first place, Miss
Louks pointed out, a subject for dis
cussion must have two sides. “There
is a great difference between de
bate and discussion,” she said.
“Debate presupposes that one side
or the other is right, but discus
sion allows for good points on both
sides. Opinion is always decided
on the base of sense of value.”
There is no stimulus in a discus
sion if there are not two sides, Miss
Louks declared. If people have
different points of view a better
conclusion will be reached. Con
trary to former announcements,
there will be no discussion groups
held with Miss Louks today on ac
count of the basketball game. Fri
day at four and five, they will be
resumed.
SCARLET FEVER PATIENT
IS ON ROAD TO RECOVERY
Harold Dixon, a freshman in the
University, who was taken ill with
scarlet fever last week, is well on
the road to recovery, according to
Dr. G. A. Ross. Last Friday night
and Saturday morning he was very
seriously ill but he passed the
danger point Saturday. Dixon’s
parents were here from Hood River
Saturday but his condition allowed
them to return to their home. He
will be confined to the isolation
hospital for several weeks until all
danger of transmitting the diseaso
is passed, according to the doctor.

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 Decay 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

able to Pyorrhea, cleans and polishes beauti
fully and protects for hou,s after use. For

ous to the teeth and gums.

“Come Seven” is famous all right;
but the most famous and frequent
college yell is: “Dear, Dad, please
send check.”
Fortunately Dad is usually glad to
respond when he knows the check
is for a KuppenKeimer “U” suit. He
appreciates its intrinsic worth as
much as much as his son does its
smartly distinctive style.
