Day Editor This Issue Emily Houston Night Editor This Issue Pete Laurs Assistant .Fred Wilcox Intend u .econd claw matter at the poet office at Eugene. Oregon, under act tt Cencreaa of March 8. 1878. A Foot-Hold in Arcadia pRANK L. Chambers, Eugene banker, has given to the Univer sity a 1000-foot strip of land on the south tank of the mill race. The strip, we understand, extends from the present bleachers east to the poirft where floats are annually launched in the canoe fete. Seldom has a gift to the University so ap pealed to the imagination. In giving the land Mr. Chambers assures for all time the use of the race by the students in one of their dearest, traditions. The privilege of using the race for the fete is now in the hands of the students, and can be denied to them by no one. Mr. Chambers does not claim the University of Oregon as his alma mater, yet he has ever been one of its best friends. His daughter and wife are Oregon alumnae. Had the students used a wishing ring or a magic wand they could scarcely have thought of a more delightful gift to wish for than that of Mr. Chambers—it is, indeed, a foot-hold in Arcadia. Celebrated, in truth, is this mill race in songs and stories of Oregon—invoking as it does the memory of picnics and water sports, and the important “onee-a-year” occasion when Alladin rubs his magic lamp and strange and wonderful creations float out of the darkness. . . The donor of the bleachers site has come very close to the student life, and shown his understanding of it., The “Creation” JJAYDN’S musical masterpiece, “The Creation,’’ is to be pre sented tonight by the Eugene Oratorio society in the Methodist Episcopal church. It will likewise be heard tomor row evening. It is significant that John Stark Evans, assistant Jean of the school of music, is directing the work of the 170 singers. It is also significant that the singers are the best musi cians in city and University circles. Music serves the delight of man. And in this case it is an added bond between the Uni versity and the people of Eugene. To relieve the congestion in Quartz hall, some of the classes now vising the room will move into Condon hall, the new science building. Puns were considered pardonable in the time of Queen Elizabeth. Migh^ we venture that housing classes in Quartz hall has become a hard proposition! Whose was the blame? Whose was the blame? “Paramour” seems to have been misspelled in one of the contributions of a campus poet to The Emerald. It might have been the poet’s fault—or the copy-reader’s—or the proof-reader’s. Or all their j faults. Or an accident. Anyway, Martha Hennley will take courage from the fact that these various persons are not too fa miliar with such a "wicked, wicked word!” I Communications I Letters U the EMERALD from ft» deuts and faculty members are welcomed, but must be signed and worded concisely.

USAGE OF GOOD ENGLISH IS DEMANDED IN POETRY To the Editor: Poetry again! But just a gentle slap this time. In the writing of poetry, perhaps it is not necessary to strive for per fection of idea or image at all times, but at least a good usage of the words of the English language is demanded. There is really little excuse for spelling such a simple word as “paramour,” as it was spelled in the Poetry column (par don me, Lvrio Rainbow eolumn) Thursday morning. Perhaps it does sound like it was spelled "para | more” but any dictionary, from a pocket edition to Webster’s una bridged, would give the correct method of conveying the idea of “a , Campus Bulletin Notices will be printed in this column for two issues only.

This was NOT a typo graphical error, I looked up the \ copy.) POET OFFERS HER APOLOGIES TO WEBSTER To the Editor: To ward off further criticism I wish to make an explanation for the misspelling of one of the words in one of my attempts at poetry in | .Thursday’s Emerald. I refer to the1 word “paramour,” which appeared at the end of the last sketch, and which appeared “paramore.” The original version of my labors was roughly scribbled on the cover of a magazine, as I received the “in spiration” on the S. P. en route to Portland one week-end. This copy j was handed to Walter Evans Kidd, I who in turn gave it over to a third 1 party for typing, and because of the joggling of the train and the irregularity of my own eerography j the typist probably was unable to read my writing. On the other hand, the fault may have been with the proof-reader, and was obviously over-looked by the copy-readers. However, on the other hand it may have been I. who, wrapped in the spell of my inspiration as the train pulled into the city, was all obliv ious to spelling and such, and mis- ' spelled it myself. In that case, I wish to apologize to the Emerald, to the publie and to Webster’s. j HUMBLY. CONGRATULATIONS, TREATS ! FROM DEFEATED CANDIDATE To the Editor: j I wish to congratulate Ed Miller on his victory in the race for the editorship. I ran him a close race and with about five hundred more votes I would have won easily. I have purchased sixty choice Havana cigars and will give one to ?ach of my loyal supporters who will bring me a sworn statement ihowing that he voted for me. JALMAR E.

INTERESTING FACTS OF HISTORY Do You Know — that Monricello, Jefferson’* estate on a hill overlooking the University of Virginia is being restored by the Thomas Jeffer son Memorial Foundation and will be maintained by them for the American people? Thomas Jefferson was bora on April 13, 1743. He framed the Declaration of Independence. His associates, among whom were John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and John Hancock, knew that Jefferson could do this satisfactorily and they signed it, with minor changes, as it expressed the minds of the American people. Jefferson and Adamsbothserved as President of the United States for opposing parties. They became fast friends, and by a singular coincidence both died on July 4, 1826. Facsimile copies of the Declara tion of Independence for fram ing are obtainable free on re quest from this company. The John Hancock Mutual is particularly interested fn insuring college men and women and obtaining anlMaui coUegt graduates for the personnel of its fieUnaf. Over Sixty Years in Business.

It is a | | tiny diamond shape Swiss watch, I | a very attractive and unusual de-j | Bign. You can understand how | | grieved she was to break it. She j | took it to a number of jewelers J | in town but none of them could j | repair it because they did not j | have the delicate Swiss parts. 11 | told her to go to Skeie’s, and j | sure enough, Skeie’s glady under- | J took to repair it. They do all | | kinds of watch repairing and | | make a specialty of Swiss repair | | work. i | Shagginess is certainly an un-1 | forgivable sin, especially when § | the Co-ed Barber Shop is so close | | to the campus that a girl may | | drop in there between classes | | and have her hair trimmed. This | 1 shop is ideal in every way— | | handy, exclusively for women as | 1 its name indicates, and expert | | barbers. Hardly any one goes to | | town for hair cuts any more. | | You know how beautiful a pro- | | file Daisy has, but she was al- § | ways conscious of a slight 1 | growth of hair on one side of 1 | her face which rather detracted i | from her looks somewhat. The I | other day,'she stopped in at the 1 | Hastings Sisters and had this fa-1 | cial blemish removed with Dr. | | Myer’s Permanent Hair Remover § j which actually does what it is 1 j supposed to do. j | The Style Shop has an entirely | jnew idea in sport hats. This at- 1 | tractive little affair is called a \ | picnic hat. It comes in all colors 1 | of wool felt and its unusual [ | feature is that it may be folded | I up or rolled up and carried in I | the poeket without destroying its | | shape. It’s a splendid hat for j | hikes or picnics because it is so \ | light and indestructible. One I | can safely buy a white or light j 1 colored one because they may be f | dry cleaned. It seems remark- i | able that these smart felts are | only two dollars. The picnic j | hat comes in a sealed package. j It is possible to keep a house looking very attractive if one keeps fresh flowers prettily ar ranged here and there. At Baup’s ; Floral Shop, where ^assistance is always given in choosing appro | priate floral decorations, we got | some gorgeous gladiolas in shades | varying from delicate shell to I | rich rose. The baby gladiolas j add a desirable touch to a bou | quet of the large blossoms. Then, | | snap dragons in harmonizing 1 | colors, are certainly very pleas- | | ing, to*. ... j Charles is taking me on his | house picnic tomorrow night. | You can’t imagine how thrilled § I am about going, for it is to be | held up the McKenzie. Charles |is on the “eats” committee, and | said that he had ordered some po j tato salad and Sandwich Dainty | Spread at Underwood and El | dot’s Grocery. To me, a picnic | is never complete without a good j salad, so I welcome the thoughts | of some. Underwood and Elliott’s | get it fresh daily. * » * | Wish you could be along on | our picnic.
