Why, Cambridge was established
before Oregon was a dream. And
Oregon was given the honor of once

What more could she want? And
1 truly tile money was well spent. We
were glad to see you so liberal. We
might want to take advantage of
this before we get home ourselves.

All publishing houses are in the
business for money. It is this fact
jtliaf keeps the public libraries busy,
j Many mailers who would love to
'own their own books feel that they
cannot afford to do so, and conse
quently depend upon libraries for
their reading material.
It is gratifying, therefore, to en
counter a means of securing a li
brary at a purely nominal cost. A
number of companies publish re
prints of their best selling volumes
: at cheaper prices and one or two
j companies publish nothing but re
j prints.
j One of the foremost among these
j reprint companies is the Garden
City Publishing company, which is
sues in what is known as the “Star
Dollar Series,” a great list of fa
mous non-fiction books. Though
the margin of profit is small, the
business is booming.
A letter from Bobert F. deGraff
of the Garden City company re
cently declares: “There is evident
ly more of an interest in popularly
j priced non-fiction books than we
j thought, for our business is grow
ling very fast indeed. Our sales so
far this year are 112 per cent ahead
of the corresponding period last
! year.
“Our company, which is a subsi
diary to Doubledav, Pago & Co.,
was started sovcral years ago to
publish inexpensive books. After
selling several million paper-bound
novels we decided that this field
had had its day and that the com
ing trend was toward more worth
] while books. There had never been
| a scries of serious books on biology,
! travel, science, etc., so we decided
I to try a scries of popularly-priced
I reprints and start it with ten titles.
We plan to add at least two titles
a month.”
Some of the late Star Dollar
books are:
STEPHEN CRANE, by Thomas
Beer. Garden City. Garden City
Publishing Co.
Thomas Beer set a high biographi
i cal standard toward which to aim
'when he began writing “Stephen
Crane,” and throughout his work
■shows near-conformity to the ideal
which was in his mind. The volume
is not exactly like similar biogra
phies; it is chronological in develop
ment but not obviously chronologi
cal. It is more like a group of es
says, each of which carries the life
| of Stephen Crane a little nearer to
its end and each of ,which interprets
with understanding the life and
work of Crane in the particular
period with which it deals.
“Stephen Crane” was first pub
lished by Alfred A. Knopf several
years ago and at that time proved
itself a. sufficiently lasting memor
ial to the writer—»thc development
of whose career was always a mat
ter of confusion even to his friends
—that it was considered worthy of
re-publication. It has enjoyed an
unusual sale.
CATHERINE TIIE GREAT, Tv
Katharine Anthony. Garden City.
Garden City Publishing Co.
The life of Catherine the Great,
like the lives of so many of tho
kings and queens of Europe and
England in the 17tli and 18th cen
turies, was full of incidents destined
to have a lasting effect upon the
politics and policies of the world.
And too, like the other kings and
queens of that period, the life of
Catherine was full of love affairs
—jealous, liotdieaded love affairs
which, for some reason or other, in
i variably entice the reading public.
Katharine Anthony, having ac
I cess to the diaries and memoirs of
| Catherine, was able to portray in
I her biography the real character of
the famous queen from its human
as well as political aspect. A hard
task is that of trying to bring har
mony into tho characterizations of
one who at three-score years still
has a lover of 2d and who at tho
same time is a leading figure in
shaping the future of many coun
tries.
‘■'Catherine the Great” went
through seven printings after it was
first published by Knopf in 1921 be
fore finally entering tho Star Hol
lar series.
TIIE LIFE AND LETTERS OP
WALTER II. PAGE, by Burton J.
Hendrick. Garden City. Garden
| City Publishing Co.
Though ostensibly a biography,
“The Life and Letters of Walter
II. Page” eoYcrs a great deal more
territory than merely recounting
dor to Great Britain from 1911 to
1918. It is a two volume set, tho
second volume of which pictures
with remarkable comprehensiveness
the whole period leading up to
America’s entry into the World
war and the immediate after-effects
of that step.
Pago lived a rather unusual life.
His early friendship with Wood
row Wilson eventually resulted in
the beginning of his own political
career. After having been made
ambassador, his friendship with the
president had little effect upon his
diplomatic life, for Pago held ideas
of his own, many of which con- i
flirted with those of Wilson.
Though equally interesting, the first
volume of the biography is much ;
less important than tho second. It
deals with the events of Page’s life
leading up to short!1.’ al'P'r his ap- |
| pointment to the ambassadorship and
thus really explains many of the
I motives which prompted Page to
I hold the ideas that he did aud to
I do the things that ho did in the
| important three {years from', 1915
to 1918. ,
One of the most sensational bi
ographies of the season is that of
Isadora Duncan, published by Boni
and Liveright. The work was com
pleted by Miss Duncan shortly be
fore her death in Prance. Although
an essential part of the work con
sists of many strange romances, the
autobiography reveals Miss Duncan
as a woman of beautiful understand
ing, fine appireciaucii and great
artistry.
“The Curse of the Tarniffs,” by
Count Edouard von Keyserling, the
famous stylist, is one of the early
11928 publications of Maculae’s. It
is the story of a man who is
destined to break, the hearts of
three women. I Dramatic conflicts
abound as the fate of Count Tamil!
is carried out.
« * *
Another Macaulay publication of
interest is “Forbidden,” by Joan
Conquest, author of “Crumbling
Walls” and “Desert Love.” It is
an astounding story of passion, re
venge and heroism in which the
white man’s code comes face to
face with the oriental’s subtle pas
sion.
Among the new books to be pub
lished by J. B. Lippineott company
in February is one on the aborigines
of New Zealand by T. E. Donne,
C. M. G. The title i‘s THE MAORI:
I’A ST AND PRESENT." An ad
vance notice states that the author
had unusual facilities for studying
this race at close quarters for over
thirty years. He describes them as
a highly attractive and intelligent
people, artistic, brave and gener
ous in warfare, and hospitable. The
book is illustrated by a number of
interesting photographs.

would suggest the purchase of a
copy of ROMANTIC JAVA AS IT

published early in February by J. B.
Lippineott company, is written by

Sir John Hawkins is known, at
least by name, to most readers of
history and romance, for he was
one of the greatest of the Eliza
bethan seamen. The Oxford Uni
versity Press American branch will
shortly publish a volume on his life,
SIR JOHN HAWKINS, by J. A.
Williamson. lit this full length bi
ography the author has been at
pains to avoid hero-worship, so that
the book has assumed the nature
as much, of a history of the times
as of the naval leader.

Religion Topic
Of Speech at
Meeting of 4Y’
Christian Influence on
Life Is Explained
By Van Dusen
That religion is essentially an in
terpretation of life and tho uni
verse, and an insight into the pos
sibilities and meanings of ordinary
humdrum existence, was the essence
of the address given Monday noon
before the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A.
cabinets by Henry Van Dusen, well
known religious worker, author, and
associate executive secretary of the
National Student division of the
Y. M. C. A., who has been touring
the colleges of the coast during the
last few weeks.
“Christianity has a greater effect
on your life than you perhaps real
ize,” stated Mr. Van Dusen. “The
reason that I am interested in it is:
first, that, it furnishes me with the
only rational explanation of the
universe and of life.”
The realization came to him ra
tionally, he said. “It was not in
the shape of a revelation; but one
summer night while attending a
camp, I went out on the beach, and
watched iho stars and thought of
the incredible distances—the won
derful mechanism involved. They
seemed to say: ‘You little petty
tool; to set yourself up to say there
is no meaning in the universe; no
purpose; no God! ’ ”
The explanation of a mind that
permeates the universe is the only
ene that is rationally tenable, be
lieves Mr. Van Dusen, and the fact
that we must live in some relation
ship to that mind is not intelligi
ble, but is defensible intellectually.
“Keligion,” said Mr. Van Dusen,
“more than all else, opens your eyes
to apsides of life, the artistic, the
aesthetic and above all to the beauty
of character.” The life of Christ
is an inescapable challenge for one
to give oneself in trying to make
life what it should be. Power for
life is the outgrowth of that out
look towards life, and is followed
by an increased depth and reality.

sen made his point clear.
Ray Culver, general secretary for
the Northwest, was present, as well
ns Henry Howard, general secretary
for the city Y. M. C. A. Mr. Van
Dusen was accompanied by his sis
Icr, Miss Catherine Van Duseii. The
dinner was prepared by the Y. W. C.
A. cabinet and Mrs. Donnelly.

‘Big Bertha-* Is Pride
Of Geologists; Used
In Analytical Work
—
‘•Big Bertha,” the $1800 micro
scope at Condon Hall, is the pride
of the geology department. ‘‘Ber
tha” was imported from Germany
to aid in the study of rocks and
minerals at the University, and is
worth more than any three or four
other mieriscopes on tho campus
put together, according to Herman
Meierjurgen, senior in geology.
This instrument, used especially
for photographic research, differs
from the usual microscope in that
it is adapted to quantitative as well
as qualitative analysis.
“Tho science of petrography,”
said Meierjurgen, “which originated
in the field of geology, is fast find- :
ing favor in all other sciences and i
industries where analytical work of
a most exact nature .is necessary.”
Instruments of this kind arc be- j
ing used to distinguish refined
sugar from the impure substances,
to denote the purity of steel, and
biologists have also found that
through it they can discover the
smallest crystals located in organ
isms.
It takes about 45 minutes to get
the instrument set up and in work
ing order.

president of Columbia University,
ivas not exactly cast into the presi

Basketball
(Continual from pane ovc)
self, to score the third basket of the
fracas.
It was seven minutes before the
bouncing Cougars scored again.
Paul converted one point on Ed
ward’a foul. Both teams were fight
ing fiercely, neither being able to
gain any substantial yardage. Gor
don Ridings swished the ozone on
several occasions for points via the
aerial_ route, and at half time tho
Webfooters led, 19 to S. All 10 men
were able to walk from the floor.
The {second period was an exact
duplication of tho first half, ex
cept that more men could bo secu
lying on the floor at the same time.
Milligan Scores Five Fouls
Scotty Milligan, back at his old
position of guard, seemed to be feel
ing in the best of humor but with
no regards for his opponents. Ho
found his shooting eye and scored
three field goals and scored on live
fouls with nary a miss. Gordon
Ridings led the homo boys ill scor
ing with Id points. Ho was alt
over the floor as usual and called
signals for tho Lemon-yellow five.
.Neither team used the huddle sys
tem. Big Bull Edwards found such
a fray as last night’s to his liking,
and performed quite nobly until re
lieved by lanky Iok Reynolds in
the last few minutes of play.
To pick out any ono individual
performer for tho Washington
Staters would be just as hard as if
all five were relatives of the fa
mous Smith brothers. All had tho
nimble qualities of first rate tum
