Jupiter Will Be
Close to Moon
On December 10
Mars Nearer Earth Now
Than for Some Time,
Says McAlister
Suggests Books for New
Star-gazer
“Jupiter will be close to the moor
on December 10, and five days latei
the moon and Mars will be in juxta
position, ’’said E. H. McAlister, pro
fessor of mechanics and astronomy
when approached for astronomical
features of the present time.
Mars, that temperamental and
most popular of planets, is nearei
the earth at the present time than
it has been for several months, ac
cording to the professor. Mars wil;
keep this position for several weeks
and while it is stationed thus, as
tronomers all over the world are
studying and photographing it care
fully.
Mars, which now hangs low in
the east and may readily be detect
ed, is at the height of its brilliancy
and its color is very red, said Mr.
McAlister. On Thursday of this
week Mars and the moon were very
close together, making a pretty
sight.
Jupiter, characterized by Profes
sor McAlister as less notorious than
Mars, is at the present time only
slightly red in color, having passed
its period of greatest brilliancy.
Jupiter, now in the southern portion
of the sky and visible shortly aftei
dark, was close to the moon Novem.
ber 12.
“Venus is most brilliant at the
present time, but as it is nearly in
direction with the sun it is just
about impossible to observe it with
the naked eye,” Mr. McAlister pro
ceeded when questioned about othei
phases of astronomy.
If the amateur star-gazer is inter
ested in astronomical,v features at
present, Professor McAlister recom
mends that he read Jones’ “Genera
Astronomy” and “The Story of th<
Heavens,” by Sir Robert Hall, r
noted Irish astronomer, who died s
few years ago.
Professor McAlister called atten
tion to an article in the October is
sue of the Natural Science magazine
which describes a museum of natur
al history that has been built in
New York City with special feat
ures devoted to sciences. The ob
servatory, a semi-circular dome sev
enty feet in diameter, is of specia
interest to astronomers. The inside
screen is so constructed that a rotat
ing projection lamp easily produces
an artificial sky by throwing on the
dome the stars and other bodies.

Children Held Less
Erratic Than Elders
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal.
Nov. 19—(By Science Service)—
Young children are more truly indiv
iduals than older persons, largely be
cause the seliools tend to level ou'
idiosyncrasies rather than to develoj
differences. This is the finding 01
Dr. Truman L. Kelley, professor o:
education and psychology at Stan
ford University, as a result of !
statistical study of the influence o:
J training upon native mental differ
I ences in school children,
j Over 200 children that are gifted
! mentally were compared with 1,700
normal children by Dr. Kelley. The
gifted eight-year-old children were
j more individual mentally than nor
! mal eight-year-olds. But he found
I that between eight and eleven years
! the gifted children have their in
| dividual traits ironed out by the
public school influence, so that at
11 years they h^ve fewer mental
idiosyncrasies than normal 11-year
! olds. These gifted 11-year-olds are
more like normal children of 14
years in respect to their peculiar
ities, just as they are like the 14
year-olds in other mental traits, he
reports.
Dr. Kelley advocates “a policy
which preserves and utilizes in-1
dividual peculiarity, except where
i it is established that social stability
demands otherwise.” *
Manuscript Collector
Addresses Library
Staff Tuesday Noon
Mr. Paul Gottschalk, of Berlin,
Germany, spoke to the library staff
at a luncheon at the Anchorage,
Thursday noon, on the general sub
ject of the collection and distribu
tion of scientific sets of magazines,
explaining the reason for their in
creasing scarcity and consequent in
crease in price.
This is Mr. Gottschalk’s fifteenth
trip to America, where he buys and
sells old manuscripts, books, and
old scientific magazines to the uni
versities and scientific libraries of
the country. He has one of the
largest stocks in the world, and is
able to fill many gaps in sets of
magazines, and to supply old books
and manuscripts where they are
needed.
Next spring Mr. Gottschalk is
bringing out a book which contains
actual reproductions of the first cor
respondence about America—letters
written by Columbus and the King
of Spain to Pope Alexander VI, con
cerning Spain’s right to the new
land. The Pope issued four bftlls
which have vitally affected our pres
ent day conditions, for he awarded
the right to Spain. Mr. Gottschalk
deals with each of these problems,
and gives the historical papers, so
that a scholar may go there for in
formation.
Two years ago, while looking for
. old manuscripts in Spain, he found
a copy of one of these bulls, hither
to unknown. The bull itself was
dated 1493, but this copy is dated
1512. There are three other copies
of the bull, in possession of Amer
ican libraries, but they are not the
same as Mr. Gottschalk's.
Campus Infirmary
Harbors One Victim
Despite cold and rain and the gen
eral gloomy appearance of the cam
1 pus, the infirmary is deserted for
the week-end with the exception of
one lone patient. This condition,
1 however, is not expected to last
j longer than over the week-end and
] an influx of ailing students will
-J probably flow in after the games.
| Perhaps the seeming emptiness of
j the infirmary can be explained in
| the fact that Dudley Clark is in
j Portland. He left Wednesday night
with Dr. F. N. Miller to have ex-'
aminations by Portland specialists.
Or. Miller, who returned today, said
that Mr. Clark will probably return
Monday.
.Tack .Tones, wild was operated bn
j for appendicitis Monday, is improv

! lie will be unable to direct the
! mighty cheers from the Oregon root
j ing section at the big game.

I All-Star Team Chosen
j W ith Aim to Avoid War
What, Ho! An all-star donut bas
; kotball team? Nay! nay, say the
powers that be.
So no quintet of the best players
i of the tournament will be picked in
spite of the press notices to that
effect.
These powers fear a tong war, as
j of yore, when the honor team is an
; nounced. Each time the idea was

resulted because “Our Johnny” or
“Bill Jones” didn’t make it as did
some other “punk” who wasn’t
“much force.”
However, nothing daunted, an all

Co-ed Debaters J
To Hold Triangle j
Meet Next Term
Team May Also Compete
With Travellers
From Utah
[
—
The University of Oregon wom
en ’s debate team will meet the
teams of the Universities of Idaho ,
and Washington in a triangular con
test to be held next term.
A question submitted by the Ida
ho debate manager and which will
be considered among others as the
question to be discussed is: “Re
solved, that the American System
of Education is too Democratic.”
The teams will consist of two
speakers each and the speeches will
be fifteen minutes long. One of the
Oregon teams will go to Seattle and
the other will meet the Moscow
contestants at Eugene.
The Oregon women will probably
debate a travelling team from the
University of Utah, although def
inite arrangements have not as yet
been made, pending a letter from
the Utah manager.
The debates will be no decision
following the Oregon custom.
The women from whom the de
bate teams will be chosen are: Mar
ion Leach, Margaret Blackaby, Ce
cil McKercher, Loretta Mason,
Pauline Winchell, Mildred Whit
comb, Irene Hartsell, and Frances
Cherry.
J. K. Horner of the public speak
ing department will coach the de
baters.
Jobs Offered Students
By Portland Legion Post
Co-operation of University of
Oregon and O. A. C. students is ask
ed by the Portland Post of the
American Legion in the production
of their annual show at the Port
land auditorium December 29. The
usual presentation, “A Night in
Paris,” will be supplanted this year
by a musical comedy of unusual
size and character, as yet unnamed, j
under the direction of Mrs. Pat H.!
Allen, Oregon graduate.
Oregon men and women who wish
to take part in the production will
try out for the chorus. The songs
used will be parodies on well known
or popular tunes, and can be easily
learned. Participation of students
from the two schools is counted on
to make the production a success.
Many of the younger alumnae who
reside in Portland are expected to
accept roles in the comedy.
If sufficient interest is aroused
here and at O. A. C. it is promised
that one side of the balcony of the
auditorium will be reserved exclu
sively for Oregon students, and the
other side for the Agricultural col
lege.
Men and women who will be in1
Portland during the Christmas vaca-j
tion and who wish to take part in >
the production are asked to leave
their names and addresses with
Georgia Benson, at the dean of
women’s office.
John Stark Evans, assistant dean
of the school of music, and Eugene
Carr, instructor in the school of i
music, are asking the men’s and
women’s glee club to participate.
Riding Club to Meet
To Reorganize, Sunday
Reorganization of the University j
of Oregon riding club which broke
up last spring when several members i,
graduated will take place next Suu-jj
at the Bangs ’ Riding Academy 1
stable. Eight of the 14 who were j j
in the club last year are in school1 j
this fall. ’ j
The club includes both men and
women, and this year it is planned J
to have 20 or 22 members. Only ex- !
perienced riders are eligible for j
membership. The purpose of the
club is to create an interest in rid- j
ng, and to make a name for the
)regon riders. During fall and win
er term the club will ride regular
y every two weeks.
Last year six riders of the club,
hree men and three women, par
icipated in the Portland Hunt club
taper chase and won first place in
he college division.
Both Oregon Agricultural College
ind the University of Washington
participated in the meet. The six
vho participated are the charter
nembers of the group.
Feeth of Indian Type
Of Bear Found in John
Day Part of Oregon
Several molar teeth, so closely
limilar to those of fossil bears
!ound in the Siwalik hills of north
“rn India that it has been necessary
:o assign them to the Indian genus,
lave been found in the John Day
country in central Oregon by Dr.
John C. Merriam and his associ
ites of the Carnegie Institution of
Washington, D. C.
It is believed that the wander
ngs of the extinct Asiatic bruins
wrought them eventually to western
America via a land bridge or a
’.hain of closely set islands in the
Bering sea region. The great time
lecessary for such a migration
would permit the development of
lifferences enough to account for
the differences between the two
ipecies.
An interesting circumstance con
nected with their finding, accord
ng to Dr. Merriam, is the fact that
■ertain bits of crown and root
oroken off and missing in the
priginal specimens which he brought
n ten years ago, were found this
lummer by his son, Charles W.
Merriam, a student at the Uni
versity of California. The younger
Merriam spent his holidays this
rear combing over the ground his
father had searched in 1916, and
orought in every fragment of bone
lie found. Quite by accident Dr.
Merriam found that two of 'the
fragments fitted exactly into
oreaks in the previously incom
plete specimens.
These extinct bears, Dr. Merriam
stated, were giants of their kind,
rhf^v were as large as very large
specimens of modern grizzly bears,
out were shorter in the head and
oad more massive jaw bones.

Attain Triumph
In Advertising
Hyde, ’16, and Bethers Do
Clever Work for Store in
San Francisco
A triumph in advertising has
been attained by Maurice Hyde, ’16,
and Ray Bethers, ex-Oregon stu
dents. A series of six full-page ad
vertisements for the San Francisco
papers announcing the opening of
the Emporium, a large San Francis
co furniture store, have been design
ed by these two men, and are, ac
cording to Professor Thacher, of the
school of journalism, the epitome of
the advertising art. Hyde is as
sistant advertising manager of the
Emporium, and Bethers is an artist,
one of the most successful, to go out
of Oregon.
Hyde has held a number of im
portant journalism and advertising
positions, at one time being adver
tising manager of Lipman, Wolfe
and company in Portland.
About 250 other University of
Oregon graduates and ex-students
are holding positions in the field of
journalism. These graduates have
gone to almost every part of the
world to work, including Europe,
Korea, Hawaii, Alaska, and the
Philippine Islands.
Approximately every field is rep
resented in this group of graduates,
reporters, “free lancers,” editors,
printers, foreign correspondents, re
search workers, fiction writers, and
cameramen.

Wherever You
Live
Whether you are an under
graduate who lives ■ in a can
dle-lit garret, or a professor's
wife and ruler' of a comfor
table household you will be
interested in the store that
caters to a college trade with
sensible prices, intelligent
system of handling our goods,
and a prompt delivery to the
university district.
Whoever You Are
You may be one of those
particular persons who buy
“the best” always. Then our
line of imported goods will
catch your eve. Cheese from
Holland; bottled oils from
the Mediterranean; dates and
figs from Africa, all sorts of
delicacies to tickle the palate
of those whose table is
scrumptuously spread.
On the other hand, if you
have less money and more
ability in the culuniary art,
you will know that home
grown spinach can be dis
guised with hard-boiled egg
rosettes and cream sauce, and
that you can set a bowl of B
turnips mashed with melted ■
butter and spiced with nut- |
meg and all-spice before your 1
family and they’ll ask for ®
second helpings. P
Whatever You Do |
Perhaps you worked till
late and have just a few
minutes before the bus ar
rives. You haven’t much time
to think or plan what to con
coct for dinner, or to remem
ber what you have in the
cupboard at home. Besides,
you ’re a bit weary after a
strenuous day, and you hate
the thought of fussing around
in the kitchen.
On the other hand, maybe
you had a day off and skip
ped away to a matinee with
the crowd, and when you come
out of the movie you come
down to earth enough to no
tice it’s time for dinner in
spite of the fact that you
don’t want to bother with
cooking.
In either case, our delica
tessen department, with its
apetizing line of prepared
meats, salads and vegetables
will answer your demands.
