Thomas Hardy Is
Victim of Cold;
Dies in England
Famed i Writer Surprise
To Wells; Too Shy,
He Thought
‘Little Grey Man’ Ranks
With Conrad, France
By C. P. WILLIAMSON
U. P. Staff Correspondent
LONDON, Jan. 11.—Thomas Har
^ dy, last of the Victorians, died to
night in his 88th year.
Just before" Christmas, the fa
mous English author caught cold
and was confined to his bed. The
illness did not appear to be serious,
somewhat alarmed because of Har
dy 's advanced age.
Cold Gets Worse.
His condition began to grow worse
on New Year’s day, but the writer
! of “Tcss of the I) Tibervilles” ral
lied several times. Late today he
grew weak. Life ebbed gradually,
and peacefully.
Thomas Hardy, brilliant conver
sationalist and brilliant listener,
dramatist and novelist, beloved, by
millions and seen by few, was a shy,
self-affacing little man living al
most entirely in his world of dreams.
So unassuming was his manner that
H. Gr. Wells, on first beholding him,
exclaimed: “What! That little
grey man?”
Yet that little grey man, who pre
ferred to listen and called this pref
ercnce “classic pessimism” was oue
of the outstanding writers of the
day, keeping company with that
group of great immortals which in
cludes Joseph Conrad and Anatole
France.

Veterans To Be Missing
From the Tryouts,
Says Horner
All University of Oregon men, in
cluding freshmen, who have partici
pated hi oratorical contests or have
any desire to do so, are urged to
present themselves at 103 Sociology
at 10 o’clock Saturday morning,
January 28, and compete for the
right to represent the University in \
the three oratorical contests sched- j
uled for later in the term, J. K. i
Horner, debate coach, announced
yesterday.
The contests in which the Uni- ]
versitv will participate are the Na
tional Peace Oratorical contest, to j
be held at Corvallis; the State OU1
Line Oratorical contest, to be held i
in Eugene; and the National Con-1
stitutional Oratorical contest, to be
held in some Oregon city not yet |
designated by the national commit- '
tee, Mr. Horner said. The winner j
of the latter contest will represent \
the state of Oregon in the competi
tion for the championship of the
Pacific coast, and the winner of the
coast contest will compete for the
national title.
Each competitor in the oratorical
tryouts must deliver an original
option about 10 minutes in length,
Mr. Horner said. The orations may
be on any subject, though the com
petitors will perhaps find it advan
tageous to speak on one of the sub
jects to be used later in the con
tests, Mr. Horner said. All stu
dents interested in competing should
sec him at once.
“We are greatly in need of new
competitors for the oratorical con- ,
tests,” Mr. Horner said. “None of
the Oregon entrants in last year’s
contests will compete this year, as

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—Secre
tary of Navy Willuir revealed today
that the $800,000,000 building pro
grnm he recommended to Congress
was drafted as a five year program
for immediate needs and is regarded
as only a starter. He advocated a
20-vear program of building and re
plcement as necessary for national
defense and protection of foreign
commerce.
The 20 year program, he suggested
to the House naval affairs commit
tee, should provide forty-three 10,
000 ton cruisers as well as addition
al submarines and destroyers. The
$800,000,000 program which he ar
gued included 25 destroyers, 82 sub
marines and nine destroyer leaders

“$ 1498, as advertised”
“How c3o you spell ‘financially’?” asked a college student
of his room-mate.
“F-i-n-a-n-c-i-a-l-l-y,” said the room-mate, spelling but
the word slowly. As an afterthought, he added: “And
‘embarrassed’ has two r’s and two s’s.”
How often have you said to a salesman, “That’s more
than I care to pay’’ ? If you had known the price in advance
you would have been spared this little embarassment.
That’s one of the great servics rendered by newspaper ad
vertising.
By reading the advertisements before going to the stores,
you know what you will have to pay for an article. You
need not reveal your financial status to a salesman. You
perhaps do not like to ask the price of goods anyhow. If
the merchant has told you the price in his advertisements,
you not have to ask.
Any way you figure it out, it pays you to read the adver
tisements. Regularly! 1 he one advertisement you skip
may contain just the news you would have welcomed.
Read all the advertisments you can. Keep informed.
The intelligent way to shop is to read the advertisements
and then go to the stores that offer the best values. Make
notes beforehand of the articles that interest you. That’s
the way to get the most for your money. That’s the way
to save time.
