Hydraulic Hoist Replaces Old Lift Of Pipe Organ Change Allows for Speedy Moving and Raising of Instrument The old hard-working lift for the pipe organ in the school of music auditorium has been*replaced during the past week by a smoothly work ing hydraulic hoist. The old method of elevating or lowering the pipe organ, according to Samuel Barger, caretaker, was a hold-over from the Dark Ages. It was a combination between the labors of a galley slave chained to an oar and Samson grind ing in the prison house. The tedious old gears operated by a long rachet lever have been dismantled and car ried away. Mr. Barger, who has been connect ed with the music building for sev eral years and who recently received his degree, Dean of' Broom, states that it required two hours of steady effort to raise or lower the organ 30 inches. The new hoist can move the organ through the same space in a few minutes, and in addition can ele vate it to a level with the stage, accomplishing this without perspi ration, shortness of breath, or a re currence of that tired feeling.

General Electric research and engineering have aided in making these conveni ences possible. A new series of G-E adver tisements showing what electricity is doing in many fields will be sent on request. Ask for booklet GEK-18. On an East Indian farm, where the crop is tea, a wooden plow turns up the rich black soil. A woman drives, another woman pulls—and a blade ox pulls beside her. Six hours under a tropical sun, a bowl of cold rice —and six hours more. Then the woman goes to her bed of rushes, and the beast to his mud stall. Tomorrow will be the same. The American home has many conveniences. But many American women often work as hard as their Oriental sisters. They toil at the washtub, they carry water, they churn by hand—all tasks which electricity can do for them at small cost, in half the time. The labor-saving possibilities of electricity are constantly becoming more widely recognized. And the social significance of the release of the American woman from physical drudgery, through the increas ing use of electricity in and about the home, will appeal instantly to every college man and woman.

The few new clothes 1 managed to get together went over big with all the girls. But everyone decided I needed a hat to match my pink sport dress so my first trip down town I dropped into Letitia Abrams Hat Shop over Wether bee-Densmore’s and found just what X wanted—(pink crochet straw with deep rose ribbon bands and the cleverest shape! T marveled at their good looking spring and summer hats. » «. » As I plan to exhibit this hat at church next Easter Sunday I had to have nty- hair cut ac cordingly. Got the neatest trim at the Co-Ed Barber Shop just back inf the Co-Op. The privacy there is certainly satisfying and they are the kind of people that cut your hair the way you tell them to. One doesn’t always find that in barber shops. • * * That little candy shop across from the Eugene hospital is drawing people with sweet tooths. They have delicious homemade candies and sometimes you can watch the process, they use in making them. McKellops is the name of thib interesting place and this week they are packing Easter candy boxes—-so good to send to “someone” and most certain to be appreciated. They have specials every Friday and Saturday and this week-end they arc making striped pepper mint chews to sell for twenty five cents a pound. I’m sending Mother a lovely aorsage of sweet peas, violets, and roses in lavendar and pink for Easter that I ordered at Baup’a Florist Shop. I know they will harmonize with her eostume. The shop was filled with beautiful flowers and loads of potted Easter lilies. • • • “Pat, how do you keep your hair looking so fluffy and pret tyt” I asked. “I don’t,” ^ replied. “Hastings Sls^^ do it. I have a speeirj, appoint. ment for every t(m day8 and tlley g've ’jio hot oil shampoos and trr<atweht(u Wy ha;r 0 06 so dead and messy looking Until I found Mrs. Hovey and her shop in the Miner building. They give mange treatments for dandruff and I will reoommend their work to anyone.” • • * These beautiful spring dayn are driving me mad and food is such a good incentive to make One's normal self again, so I find myself at the Anchorage nearly every afternoon for tea — their cinnamon toast is perfectly di vine and all of their food is home made. Have a tea date with Jim today—a convenient kind of dates to have and as the Anchorage overlooks the mill race, the setting is perfect. * * * I stopped at the Aladdin Gift Ware shop yesterday to look for a gift for Kay’s birthday. Came out an hour later loaded with clever little gifts and an empty purse. I got a hand-painted per fume flaconette for Kay and several cleverly decorated pen cils and erasers for Aunt Mary to use at bridge. They had some potted tulips made of wax that looked so realistic I was entirely deceived. The shop is located over Carter’s Hat shop. * • « We’re going ion a picnic Sun day—just four of us and at Un derwood and Elliot’s, a block and a half past the Alpha Chi house, they have the cleverest picnic packages containing cups, plates, spoons, napkins, and a tablecloth. Certainly convenient. Their good clubhouse salad is also going to accompany us. I must tear myself away darl ing and go to the libe. As ever, CAROL
