r Trench Mouth Rumors False, States Miller Restaurant Is Uninfestfcd By Disease, Despite Malicious Report Statement Sent to Hall Through Mails A report., now found to be malic iously false, was circulated on the campus Thursday to the effect that cases of trench mouth existed here and that they had originated in the kitchens of the College Side Inn. The statements asked the students to boycott the establishment, and ru more were soon flying in all direc tions. In the following statement, Dr. Fred N. Miller, head of the Uni versity Health Service, emphatically denies the rumors. The University Health Service de sires to deny a report which is al leged to have originated in the Health Service concerning the prevalence of trench mouth in the College Side Inn. It has come to our attention that this noon the following notice was read in Susan Campbell and Friend ly halls. Numerous eases of trench mouth now prevalent on the campus have been traced to the College Side Inn kitchens. We have asked the man agement several times to clean the place but every time they have failed to co-operate with us. We can not ask you to stop eating there ^but we are taking the privilege of telling you that you eat there at your own risk.” This statement was signed “Health Service”—but with no name. It was later learned that this state ment came through the mail in a plain envelope and we have been unable to trace the source. I wish to state that neither I nor anyone associated with the Health Service made any statement to any one about the prevalence of trench mouth on the campus, and that ap parently this is a malicious attempt on the part of someone who is un friendly toward the College Side Inn. This is the same sort of story that was started last spring. At. that time an investigation was made by the Health Service at the re quest of the College Side manage ment and no one there was found to have the disease. As it happens there is less of the condition on the campus at the present time than there was about the same time last p term. Trench mouth is a condition which is not uncommon in people of Uni versity age and it is fairly common on almost every campus. It is a condition which should not go un treated, and it sometimes yields very slowly to treatment, but can always be cleared up without any serious consequences when carefully treated. • It is rare that the condi You Will Like Our 25c Plate Lunches •—with a change of menu each day of the week.

Co. > i Richmond, Va. .* 1 Gentlemen: ' The worst thing in the world to try to find is a good pipe tobacco that is well within the reach of everybody; and at the same time does not tastii like it had just come out of the cabbage patch. i I have been smoking a pipe for twd years and have just this month starter! to smoke a real smoke, Edgeworth. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Believe me, I tried for two years, but finally success is more than mine. - I have just been looking around, and have found to my delight that I ran get Edgeworth practically any where. I even found it out at the lake near Dallas where I go fishing. Oh boy, tvhat a combination—a perfect day, a ran of good tobacco, and your pipe. I always thought these ad letters fiere the bunk, but this time I know somebody is wrong and that is me. Here’s to old Edgeworth, Edmund Condon Edgeworth Extra High Grade Smoking; Tobacco Trolley's Shove Aids Stalled Auto; First Car Rides Thrill Professors Chug, chug, tchug! With its one cylinder going strong, the automo bile of a little more than 20 years ago was a marvelous invention. The driver, dressed in jjuster and mo toring cap, and with his hand on the tiller, was the dandy of the community. The thrill of the first ride in a horseless carriage was one that corresponds to the initial flight in an airplane. Professor A. 8. Kingsmill of the school of business administration thought awhile before he answered the query about his first automobile ride. “I was up in Ontario, Canada, about 1900, and it was while I was there that I took the first automo bile ride that made any impression on me,” he said. “I remember the incident because the car stalled on the trolley line and the street car came along and gave us a shove. “No, wo didn’t hold up traffic to any great extent, there being not so much to interfere with. The people enjoyed our discomfiture just as much then as they do now when one gets stalled in a traffic jam. “It was an old high-backed Mc Laughlin, that being the name of the Canadian company that handled the car now known as the Buiek. It was painted a vivid red and it had lots of brass. The old type of horn that you had to squeeze to get a lionk out of was on the right side, for, of course, it was a right-hand drive. The brakes and gear shift wore outside the ear, too. We never stopped to use the little low doors, we just stepped over them. It was ' some classy ear for those days.” The first ride of Professor H. C. Howe of the English department oc curred at the University about 1012 in an old White Steamer, a ear which is practically out of existence : at the present time. • “I was due at Creswell to speak at the commencement exercises,” be- ' gan Professor Howe, “and I had ordered the car from the only garage in town, called the Sweet Grain garage. As it happened, there was a big picnic that day and the i car didn’t come in till late. The roads weren’t paved then and my 1 ride to Creswell was surely a bumpy one. We didn’t go so very fast, compared to the speed we make ’ now, but over those roads 20 miles an hour was too fast for me. I got there eventually, but they had to hold up the exercises over an hour to wait for me. “The car was a big thing, even as cars run now, painted white, of course, and used steam as its pro pelling power instead of the now universal gasoline.” Alton Gabriel instructor in the chemistry department, thinks that 1 his first, automobile ride was taken in an old Oldsmobile, a one-lung, 1 with hard rubber tires. Mr. Ga briel was just a boy when this mo- ; mentous occasion came to pass. Ho , places the date around 1008 and the place Portland. lion is severe enough to require a student to miss any classes. At the request of the manage ment of the College Side Inn I have examined carefully the mouths of all workers at the College Side. I found no evidence of any infection of the mouth in any of those who had been working there, but did find a slight infection in the mouth of u boy who applied for work there this afternoon. This boy will not bo given work until such time as his mouth is clear from any infec tion which will be determined by mlcriseopic study. Furtherfnore, I. have i inquired into their manner of washing their dishes and find that this is properly taken care of. I should simply like to add that whenever a statement comes from the Health Service it will be signed by me personally, and that unless •my signature is attached it had best be disregarded.
