What Sort of a Chap Was George? /'GEORGE WASHINGTON, the father (if hii} country, was born at 10 o’clock on Friday morn ing, February 22, 1732. The hour and day of the week, though not generally known, are authentic, having been provided through ref erences to the Washington family bible and by perusal of astronomi cal formulae. Time-worn subjects are always improved with a little original material. It is always fun to wonder what the world’s great men were really like. Was George a good husband? Was he bored at church? Was he noisy with his soup? Did lie bother with a cuspidor? Did that august dignity shed by all his pictures shine with equal vigor upon the members of his household? Did he play with his children? Or did ho have children? • It is really a pity that we haven’t a good picture of the national hero. No man can look natural when he knows he is having his portrait painted. The same applies to por trait photographs. What wo really need is a snapshot of George, taken when he wasn’t. looking. But then, they probably couldn’t have caught him when he wasn’t looking. The answers to practically all our questions can be found in history books; the nice thing about them being that after all. we don’t have to believe them. At best, they are simply conjecture, even when made by experienced historians. One man, following the prevailing bi ographical. fashion, declares that George was fur too partial to strong waters. Another contradicts with shrill cries of “Ginr!” A third ob serves brightly that George was a good business man; whereupon a fourth breaks forth hi vituperative jealously because that is what lie had thought all along. Hut what’s the odds? Get ’em rave. There are a million George Washingtons for every million Americans; a phe nomenon which, when v<»u come to think of it, is really very satisfac tory. After all, George must have been Family ,(Continual front jiane one) tion in !Ncw York City public school t. The arrnv of visiting talent sched uled to tcacli in Portland is no less great. For the history courses, Tai wan! T\ Cheyncy from tin Univer sity of IViutsy!vauin has been so e tired. Iir. i'Ihvih-v has written a number of well known books includ ing “Social Oha ges n England in the lOth Century." 'Socitil and In dustrial Itiston of England,’’ and “European Rackground of Amer ican History."

Smith, pro fessor of English at Colgate, will also have class* s. In psychology, Franklin Fearing, of Ohio Wesl. yin V i. !\ersity, will teach. Chatles M Kinl-y f Reed will take daises in pou iealu icionce. ■William Savory, head of the phil osophy department nv tin Univer sity of Washington, will also be at Portland. J. F,.

More Evidence of America’s Greatness AN inspirational editorial, patri otically speaking, especially appropriate -on a national holiday, is the following from the Daily Iowan: ' . "Plain, forthright names are the role in our remarkable republic. Oeorge Washington, Andrew Jack son, Abraham Lincoln, are examples of the good old fashioned American name which says something and then stops. "In this respect we may claim a certain kinship with the world of the ancients. Cicero, Caesar, Hanni bal, Socrates — these are names whose pregnant syllables intrigue the mind. They are real names and real personalities. "In imlodorn Europe, however, are to be found many whose names would make a suitable sketch in "Who’s Who and How Come.’’ "The following is the name of a citizen of Spain: "Cristobal Colon do Toledo y Larreateeghi do la Carda Ramie do manqued y Canto, Almirante y Adel antado, mayor do las Indian, Mar quis de la Jamacica, Deque de Espana, Sonador del Reins, Cabal lero de la Insigne Order de Pro, Oran Crux de la Concepcion de Villaviciosa, (lentil Hombre de Camara did Rev de Espana.” "Yes, we are through the tunnel now. You mav open the windows again! “ Uni' would think that Cristobal Colon do Toledo, etc-., would natural ly lead a somewhat cneimubeved life. When the lady who is just a bit deaf was -introduced and made the inevitable rejoinder that she didn’t <1 uite catch the name, the introducer would be tempted to resign or ask for a raise in his salary. In cross ing crowded intersections afoot, Christobal, etc., would be in great danger of getting his na-me mixed up with the running gear of a pass ing flivver and of being dr tigged in to the Croat Beyond. For his sake, lot as hope that his intimates call him ‘’Chris,’’ ■“Hut, Cristobal to one side, let us all be thankful for our simple tastes in names. For u good short name is better than great riches.’’ the romance language department at Syracuse University, will have classes ia French and Spanish. Tie holds the degree of Pocteur d’Uni-j versite from Grenoble University, ! in Franco, and also a Harvard de gree. According to Dr. Kay P, Bowen, head of the University ro- - manee language department, he is one of the best known authorities on Fronch phonetics io the country.

This was an nouneod by 11. W. Davis, director of Christian work.

Miss Goldie Walters is in charge of the committee on preparations for the reception of Mr, Hackabee. j 1 Kt SEVEN h SEERS MAY YOU HAVE A HAPPY [ WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY. We won’t say anything about Washington as the man because the U. of W. Columns said too much I about Lincoln and look what hap- i pened. Several professors were caught up the McKenzie by high water and were unable to get back for Mon-j day classes. Why couldn’t there; have been a faculty picnic up there' Sunday? , # • * Of course some of them had ex cuses for not getting back through | the high water, but we think there is no reason in the world why An drew Fish didn’t get back. What’s in a name after all? YESTERDAY I was LOOKING for a CHOICE bit of INFORMATION and I WENT into the EMERALD offiee and SPOKE to the day ' EDITOR and she IGNORED me and said SHE was thinking so I left and asked ONE of the copy READERS but he said HE too was thinking SO the next person TO come along was A reporter with a PENCIL and paper in HAND and he surely LOOKED like he would KNOW what I wanted TO find out but when I asked him he said IIE was thinking and THIS had gone far ENOUGH when three PEOPLE in a row who HELP put, out this PAPER tell me they are THINKING. Don’t'they KNOW I read this sheet QUITE thoroughly? The flood is giving all aspiring George Youngs of Springfield a chance to come to the front. The chapter of Alpha Delta Sig- j inn, national advertising fraternity, at Oklahoma University is named after William Wriglev Jr., tht^ chewing gum manufacturer. Mr. Wriglev made the fraternity a gift of his photograph, framed and auto graphed. David John Jones, who was re cently awarded a one-year con tract as superintendent of the Eu j gene high school, sang “Lend Me Your Aid’’ and “It Is Eonugh’’: at vesper services yesterday. Such subtlety! The battle for virtue and culture | in Batavia, Ohio, as reported by the eminent Plain Dealer: BATAVIA, ()., Feb. 14— Showing of the film drama, ‘-‘Faust,” has! been barred here by Mayor J. bar- 1 kin because a poster announcing! the (production 'displayed on the street here the picture of. a woman he deemed unsufficiently clad. " l just happened to see that pos ter,’’ he added. “I was walking up I Main street when.it attracted my attention. 1 don't know what the show's about—but one look at the poster was enough to convince me it wasn’t fit for anybody to see. ‘‘1 judged from that the show wasn't the kind we want exhibited here in Batavia. So I removed the bottom thumbtacks and fastened up the poster in a wav to hide the offensive portion of it.” The trouble with the “No Park ing” signs Is that you can't see them for cars. George Washington never .told a lie, so tile story goes. Vos but I’ll bet lie never had to get out of one of the dates his room mate got for him either. I'he I’niversity of Washington Columns is suspended for the third time. Evidently it's taking quite a time to educate the faculty up there. . I F A MODS LAST WORDS *********** I ’in an old tashiontnl girl.*’ * 'Iteau Geste.' Thrilling Him. Playing at lleilig Tragedy, absorbing mystery, and marvelous characterizations are the outstanding qualities of “Beau ties to" which opened yesterday for a two.day showing at the Heilig the ater. The film is artistically pro duced and yet realistic and human, depicted in the love for each other of tile Gestos and the cruelty of Sergeant Lejaune. Rei aid Column, Noah Beerv and Mice Joyce are the stars of the picture. “Beau Geste” is being ex hibited as a road show, carrying a complete 20-piece orchestra. Two showings take place at 2:30 and h:30 o'clock. i Theaters McDONALD: Second day: “Stella Dallas,” a marvelous picturization of the widely read novel, that bares the heart" and soul of romantic wom anhood, with Belle Bennett, Ronald Colman, Lois Moran, Jean Hersholt, Alice Joyce and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.; McDonald’s “Birthday Party,” entertaining all persons born on Washington’s birthday (today) as guests of honor; on the stage—-Shar key Moore and the Merrv-Macks in “Springtime,” a medley of Spring melodies, featuring Cara Ash, Port land’s most popular violin soloist, tonight at nine; International news; Frank Alexander in superb musical accompaniment to the picture. Cpming—Douglas MacLean in “Hold That Lion,” hailed as the funniest of all the hilarious com edies “Doug” has given the world, and jovial Walter Hiers is the as sisting “lion tamer”—with pretty Constance Howard as the girl who causes all the complications; the Merry-Macks will introduce “The Blushing Bride.”. And, following, next week, will come “The Night of Love,” the most glorious romance screenland has conceived, with the perfect lover, Ronald Colman and Vilma Banky co-starred. * » •» REX: Last day: Jetta Goudal in “Her Man O’War,” with William Boyd, in a glowing romance of the great conflint, when heart beats were quickened to the deafening roll of thundering drums: a typical pro gram for Washington’s birthday; comedy and news events; Clifton Emmel at the organ. IIEILIG: Today only: “Beau Geste” in road show production with showings at 2:30 and 8:20 o’clock. “Beau Geste” is a tragedy, tinged throughout with a feeling of impend ing terror of absorbing mystery. But the dread horror of it all, the cuelty and fears and passions, al most are eclipsed by the fidelity and love of three Geste brothers to each other. Starting Wednesday and continu ing Friday and Saturday—-“The Scarlet Letter*’ featuring Lillian Gish. The picture portrays the stern intolerance of the early Puritans, their hardships and their fanatical opposition to all that savors of pleasure. The story is staged on a lavish scale. Basketball (Continued from par/e one) listed ;is a forward in the box scores. Gunther was an all-coast forward last year, but this year his duties have been mostly along guarding lines. Gunther has developed until he is almost in a class by himself ns a guard. Bright spots in his career this year are his work against Captain Schuss of Washington at Seattle, when the blonde skipper of the Huskies was held to one field goal, and that a long one, while .lorry was scoring liberally, and his deportment again Captain Graap of 0. -\. C. who was held to one field goal in Corvallis recently. Graap’s tally came when Gunther slipped and fell down, thus leaving him un watch ed. Ridings Back in Game Young Gord Hidings, another very excellent 'guard who is listed as a forward, will be back in harness to night, as he is needed for his floor work, and ball-hounding. "If the boys play together and forget about piling up scoring rec ords,” says Billy Reinhart, who is in a position to know, “we will win tonight, but otherwise a great surprise may greet the fans who open Wednesday morning’s paper. If the boys play ball the way they know how, we’ll beat them all.” That closes our storv. Twenty-one Stories Compete for $50 Prize Many clever titles have been turn ed in on the short-stories entered in the Edison Marshall contest and M'. F. G. Thaeher, professor of journal ism, hopes that the manuscripts will prove to be as clever as the titles indicate. Every year Edigon Marshall, an Oregon graduate, offers a prize of $.‘0 for the best short story. Mr. Marshall, being a writer of some prominence, himself, is keenly in terested in romantic fiction, as op posed to the realistic. The only standards recognized are those of present day American writers. Twenty-one manuscripts w e r e turned in and those will be identified by their titles, their writers remain ing unknown to the judges. The submitted papers will each be grad ed on a percentage basis, working out the final decision, from the sheets submitted by the judges containing the grades. The judges are: R. B. Horn, pro fessor in English: Mrs. Clara Fitch, secretary of the administrative’ of fices; and Mr. E. ,T. Hayeox, a prom inent Oregon short-story writer. The returns will be published in about three weeks, according to the committee. I.ast year Miss "Mary Jo Shelley won the prize of $50. Girls’ Choice Of Sports Takes New Tendency F. Alden Says Activities Showing Individuality Are Most Popular Special Needs Satisfied by Five Classifications A significant change has taken place during the last few years in the kind of activities selected by the girls taking physical education, according to Florence D. Alden, di rector of the women’s physical ed ucation department. The most popular activities chosen are those which show the greatest individuality, such as interpretive dancing, the first on the list, swim ming and horseback riding, while team activities, a few years ago the most popular, are now nest to the lowest in popularity. “I do not believe that this neces sarily means that we ar» becoming individualistic to an undesirable ex tent,” Miss Alden said. “Possibly it would indicate that the girls are consciously taking activities that will serve them as recreation after school days when they cannot call a team together for organized- sports at a moment’s notice.” The system used in the women’s physical education department has been entirely changed this year, Miss Alden went on to explain. Last year the sole classifications were in A and B groups, consisting respec tively of the higher fifty per cent and the lower fifty per cent. Now, however, the girls are div ided into five classifications, all of which receive distinctive work and special^ privileges, to fit the girls’ special needs. First, there is the individualistic gymnastics class for those who need special attention. Second, the novice class, composed of those passing below 5 in the pos- , turo or above 37 in the agility test, j These girls are given a few min- 1 utes of wide awake posture and de velopment work and are then divid ed into squads according to their most obvious needs. Although the work is both restricted and correc tive to a certain extent, a very def inite effort is made to interest the girls not only in their own improve ment, but in the activities them selves. The third group is composed of the average girls, who are allowed to elect folk dancing and clogging, games and sports, swimming, inter pretative dancing, horstbaek riding, or fencing. The honor group may elect any of the aoove activities, or may substi tute any supervised intramural sport for the required work. The same agility and posture tests that were used last year were re peated this year, and show a very definite correlation to the (girls’ ability as proven by other means. Several majors in the department have worked with this as a thesis problem during the last three years. Emphasis of the system is placed upon three points: 1. To find out what each girl’s special needs are and to try to fit the work to those needs. 2. To put girls of similar ability, skill and knowledge in classes together so that they may progress evenly and enjoy working together. 3. To offer a very wide range of choice of work, so that the girl may enter into the type of activity in which she is interested.
