JEWELER SHOWS
WORK OF GRAFT
Early Forms of Decoration
Traced By Frank Hale
HISTORY OF GEMS TOLD
Master Touch of Guildsman
Shown in Exhibit
Jewelry was the subject discus
sed by Frank Gardner Hale yester
day afternoon in the Museum of the
Fine Arts building. Mr. Hale, who
holds the title of Master Crafts
man, held an exhibit of his work
in the evening.
Mr. Hale traced the types and
making of jewelry from itg earliest
years down to the present time.
One of the first forms of ornamen
tation that later gave birth to
jewelry was the tatooing done by
the savages, ho explained. This
painful but effective method of
ornamenting the body gave way to
necklaces and head-dresses of feath
ers, bones and teeth strung on
strips of skin. The first pins were
brightly colored thorns and fish
fins, and combs followed from
these. Barbarous implements of
adornment were the pieces of wood,
bone or stone that were inserted
through the cheeks by cutting slits
in the skin, and the earrings were
a vestige of that.
Stones are Explained
From the Etruscans we have the
first work in metal jewelry, and
these people wore among the first
to use cut jewels in cameo. These
were even used as seals on Tetters
at a later date. The art schools
of the medieval days were con
nected with the monasteries, as
were all institutions of learning,
and this accounts for the religious
aspect of some of the old pieces
of jewelry.
Mr. Hale explained the various
types of stones and where they were
found. Rubies, emeraldB, diamonds,
saphires and pearls are the precious
stones, the first two being more
valuable that the diamonds. He
also explained that rubies could be
produced artificially that were as
perfect as those found in the earth.
The emeralds as a class range in
color from yellow to deep green,
and the aquamarines are one of
these classes going under an as
sumed name.
History of Stones Told
The Japanese culture pearls
which are “manufactured” by “an
noying” the oyster, are now ac
cepted as real pearls. Rubies, which
are found in a small part of Bur
ma, range in color from white to
blood red. The name “Pigeon
blood,” relating to rubies comes
from the fact that the Burmese
found thnt. the blood of a slain roy
al pigeon is the same color as that
of the dark rod rubies. Lnpis
lazuli comes from Russia, nnd the
finest diamonds, which used to bo
found in Brazil and India, are now
mined in Africa. Saphires are ono
of the longest known stones, and
aTe found in all colors. The daTk
ones are the male and the light tho
female. These are also found in
India.
* Mr. Hale told how the opal
gained its reputation of being a
harbinger of bad luck. He said
that Catherine of Russia was so
fond of the gems she spread the
story that they brought bad luck
so that all her ladies-in-waiting
would discard them and she alone
would be bravo enough to wear the
evil stones. He said that if an
opal is ground up it will show only
a colorless powder, and that its
flickering flame-like color is pro
duced by an oily substance in the
stone. That is why a cracked opal,
if soaked in olive oil for “t hours
will close together.
Work of Craftsmen Recognized
The old poison rings, used on
enemies when you cordially shook
hands with them were explained by
Mr. Hale, and the old superstition
of the wedding ring finger was
cleared up. According to Mr. Halo,
it was formerly believed that in the
ring finger of the left hand there
was a tiny vein that directly con
nected with the heart and that for
this reason they decided that this
finger was to be the correct one
for the engagement and wedding
rings.
Mr. Hale told of his course of
study at Chipping Campdcn, Eng
land, describing the manner of liv
ing and the organization of guilds
throughout the country. lie said
that America is beginning to recog
nize and appreciate the work of
craftsmen, but that only the
wealthy can afford to help the
trade by purchasing the craft. It
is a trade in which there is little
money, according to Mr. Hale, but
one that is kept alive by love and
hard labor of its workers.

This will complete an air tight in
field for the writers. A question
arose over Skipper Brooks, who is
out for varsity, but the lawyers de
clared that he couldn't make t the
team anyway. Two other steller
lawyers will also be absent, Don
Husband and Harley Covalt. Both
refuse to leave home long enough
to play a regulation game.
Both teams will provide their
own yell staff and singing sections.

ORATORIO SOCIETY OF EUGENE
TO SING HAYDN’S “CREATION”
Mbre Than 170 University and Townspeople Will Take
Part in Well-known Production
The Eugene Oratorio society
which is composed of over 170
University and townspeople will
present “The Creation,” an orator
io by Joseph Haydn, May 15 and 16,
in the auditorium of the Methodist
Episcopal church, under the direc
tion of John Stark Evans, assistant
dean of the school of music.
“The Creation” depicts in beau
tiful text as well as music, the
various stages of the creation of
the world.,It is exceptionally migh
ty and dramatic, and demands a
great deal of the singers. Prob
ably in this country the “Messiah”
is heard more often than “The
Creation” due to the fact that it is
i more singable.
“The Creation” consists of three
principal parts. The first tells the
story of the creation of the earth.
Bunning through this are many pas
sages from the Bible, which are
sung by the chorus and soloists. The
most famous aria heard in this part
is “The Heavens are Telling” sung
by the chorus and trio. “With Ver
dure Clad,” a soprano solo, is
among the beautiful selections in
the oratorio. The creation of Adam
and Eve and all moving life upon
the earth is the theme of the sec
ond part. “On Mighty Pens,”
“The Most Beautiful Appear” and
“The Lord is Great” sung by the
trio and chorus are heard in this
part and are very dramatic. The
third part is composed of many
beautiful solos sung by Adam and
Eve praising God for the creation
of the world.
The Oratorio society is for the
purpose of bringing musical people
together not only in Eugene, but
by eventually organizing musical
societies throughout the surround
ing country and combining these
organizations at least twice a year.
Rehearsals are held every Monday
night in the auditorium of the
school of music and at present there,
is a waiting list of 50 desiring mem
bership.
“It is our hope,” said George H.
McMorran, president of the society
and prominent merchant of Eu
gene, “to make Eugene the musical
center of the entire Northwest and
this is not impossible considering
the advantages Eugene possesses by
having the Univerity of Oregon
school of music here, one of the
best on the Pacific Coast. We are
also anticipating putting on a Mu
sical Week in the near future,
which will bring people from all
over the Northwest. It is my opin
ion that the Oratorio will grow to
be an organization of 200 or 250 in
a very short time.”
For the presentation of “The
Creation” three well-known solo
ists will be brought from Portland.
The organization is governed by an
executive committee, which is com
posed of the following: Mr. Mc
Morran; C. D. Rorer, president of
the Bank of Commerce; John
Landsbury, dean of the University
school of music and Mrs. A. C.
Dixon. Glen Morrow is secretary.
