After only three day’s visit, he com mittee has succeeded in turning out a document that gives evi dence of a thorough insight into the general University situa tion. Evidently these committee members have made long and careful study into the subject of their investigation. To most of the recommendations in the report the Emerald can only lend a lusty “Amen.” Just run down the list and check the.items off, each with a hearty “Halleluyah.” Furthermore, we must bring forth equally lusty hallelu yahs to the points the committee has omitted in its report. Tn vain we search for the usual alumni wail, Heaven help ns the. hello tradition is going to the dogs; where’s that Oregon fight; the grass isn’t so green as it used to be; the campus is a bunch of snobs; ” et cetera ad nauseatum. In place of the trivial the committee has concerned itself with matters of genuine importance.. If the alumni proceed in their program of co-toperation as they have started we may expect beneficial and helpful results; and we in turn will promise to stop ragging the alumni about sins, which this report has led us to believe, have probably been manufactured. The University mourns with the relatives of Loren D. Wills the untimely death of this brilliant young man who died in Eugene several days ago. The sli'oick ol. his death has been somewhat lightened for those that must bear the sorrow by the belief that his death was caused, not by his own hand, but through an accident. After looking into the mattei thor oughly his relatives are convinced that an ether bottle, used to dispel sleepleness, by some means was tipped over resulting in the tragedy. Again, to the immediate family of the boy, we extend our most sincere sympathies. ^Chameleon In n goofy mood on a goofy day we ran across this goofy revelation in a California newspaper: Human body’s just like a radio set. California State Board of Health says so. Has issued a lot of instructions on how to avoid static. Among other things says to uso wave lengths suited to your age. In other words, if you wear a toupeo, have to dye your moustache and both sets of teeth are made to order, don’t try and send out young shoik isli vibrations and expect them to carry as far as those of a person of 24. Battery V your heart, the board says, and it’s up to you to prevent it from being short-circuited. ITso a tooth brush at least twice a day to keep your loud-speaker clean. Keep your tubes in order by not abusing your digestive ap paratus. Tuue in with the oxygen out-of-j doors and don’t keep yourself shut up in an airtight cabinet. Refill your batteries often but be] mire it’s with water. Board also j »nys to spread out your antennae, or in other words, to swing your arms and legs in the air every day. Board doesn’t mention it, but it might be better to do this in the: pirivaev of your own home and not j try it on the sidewalks and block traffic. Anyway that’s what the board. says. P. S.

Who are? The track team, of course. Displaying the best form in years, the Oregonians never once allowed a California man to finish last in any event. The Oregon hurdlers never once missed hitting a hurdle, and thereby hung up a Pacific Coast record. Time after time the javelin, discus, and shots were thrown for distances as great as seven or eight feet. The pole vaulters always leaped higher than necessary. Twice they had so much room to spare that they caught their chins on the cross bars. The Oregon dash entrants usually got in in time to hear the announcements of the next event, and the distance men did almost as well. By simple math ematics the judges were able to determine how Oregon would come out in aq. event by mere ly knowing how many entrants there were. Mary Benton wants to know why at is that the girls who are always showing a new wrinkle never grow old. And now Web Jones will rise and tell us what happened to the four-toed horse. I really don’t know Why I like her so well, But of one thing I’m certain, And that’s that I fell It isn’t the look She has in her eyes, And certainly not Her painted disguise But wait just a minute, I think now I know; She pays her own way Where ever we go.

Blood Transfusion Assists Recovery of Wife of Janitor The life of a University janitor’s wife was saved a few days ago when eight University students of fered to contribute their blood for transfusion. The janitor is W. B. Rivers of the architecture building, and the three men whose blood was used to save the woman are H. B. Rosen, E. A. Koupal and J. Marsh Browne, all architecture students. Mrs. Rivers was suffering from anemia in the Pacific Christian hospital. She was in a very criti cal condition. Hope for her life was nearly abandoned when the students learned of the case. A group of them asked permission to help and three were found whose blood tests were satisfactory. Mrs. Rivers is the mother of four children, one of whom is only ten days’ old. “I want to express my deepest thanks and appreciation for those men who saved my wife’s life,” de clared Mr. Rivers. “If I could only express in words the way I feel I would be happy. Please write a story and tell them how much I ap preciate their wonderful act. You cannot say too much.” Since the transfusion Mrs. Rivers has shown a marked improvement and it is expected that she will soon be on the road to recovery. W.A.A.

N. - Submarines with Elevators When the American people answered "War” in 1917, no matter was of more importance than the readjustment of the great industries to the conditions of war, and no contribution to national defense was more exacting than that of the Otis Elevator Company. It was a long way from the ordinary operations of business buildings through out the country to the North Sea in war time, yet strangely enough Otis auto matic leveling or micro-drive elevators proved one of the most valuable innova tions in connection with naval warfare. Up to the time the American Navy became a factor in the World War, it had been impossible to lay, in the North Sea, the contemplated mine barrage, which it was hoped could be used to pre vent submarines from skirting the north end of the British Isles. This had been impossible, because the time required to get the mines overboard prevented successful results. The Otis Elevator Company cooperated with the American Navy and provided automatic leveling elevators for the delivery of the mines from the hold of the mine layers to the main deck, where they could be put overboard at such frequent intervals as to make the laying of the barrage a success. In an article published several years ago, Captain Belknap, U.S.N., who was in command of the mine laying squad ron at the time, stated that in the nine months or more of operation, in which sixty thousand mines were handled in and out, as well as many more in the course of drills, there was only one occasion in which any one of the thirty two elevators was shut down. This was the fault of the operator, not the elevator, in that it was run too far up and jammed there for a few hours, but without causing any delay in the mine laying operation. In war as in peace, the Otis Elevator has become one of the indispensable pans of our civilization. Otis Micro-Drive Elevators, as developed for the mine laying ships and for the great Army and Navy Bases at New York and Boston, are now in constant use throughout all parts of the country in office buildings, hotels, department stores, warehouses, terminals and factories. The automatic leveling feature eliminates “inching”at the floors, obviates the stumbling hazard in passenger elevators, as well as saving time in operation, and increasing the life of the apparatus. On freight elevators it also provides an exactly level landing to facilitate the handling of freight. OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANY Offices in all Principal Cities of the World
