Even Break in
Funds Battle
Bill Provides Division
Of $280,000 Sum for
■ Continued Research
Committee Acts Adversely
On Infirmary Measure
The University of Oregon broke
even with Oregon Stnte College in
the battle for research funds
Thursday when Representative
llouior D. Angell, alumnus of the
University, succeeded in eliminat
ing from the budget recommended
by Oovernor Patterson appropria
tions for Oregon State college ex
tension activities in the amount of
$U0,0(Jtf and substituting a bill
wliieh authorizes an appropriation
of $280,000 to be divided between
the two institutions.
The ways and means committee
voted to report on Representative
Angell’s bill favorably. At the
same time they voted to report fav
orably on a bill by Representative
Lonergan authorizing an appropria
tion of $50,000 for an infirmary on
the campus at the University.
The share of the $280,000 appro
priation for the University would
cover $15,000 for business research,
$120,(W0 for extension work, and
$10,000 for University of Oregon
research work.
While the amounts originally in
volved in bills for these activities
at the university totaled $105,000,
Representative Angell said that the
aggregate had been reduced to
$110,000 in the bill.
Oregon State college’s share of
the $280,000 would include money
for the home experiment station
and for crop pest, dairy, poultry,
and soil investigations.
Jolm Clymer Invited
To Talk at Conference
Sau Francisco Mail Knows
Retail Problems Well
As one of the main speakers on
the program for the Chamber of
Commerce secretaries short course
given at the University of Oregon
during spring vacation, Dean David
11. 1’aville, of the school of business
administration, has invited John
Clymer, manager of the retail mer
chants division on the Sau Francisco
Chamber of Commerce.
Clymer has done extensive work
in solving some of the most intri
cate problems of the retail mer
chant, stated Dean Faville. He has
worked out several practical plans
for solving the problem of competi
tion that the unit store must face
from the chain store organizations.
Frank II. Shull, president of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce,
talked with Mr. Clymer recently,
and was favorably impressed with
his handling of problems related to
the business of the retail merchant,

luption in the country by the great
newspapers for the last several
years. It is tho function of the
newspapers to furnish some such
criticism,” lie believed.
Mr. Montague believed that “The
newspaper was to be considered but
uno link in the chain of socializa
tion. Rut the exercise of newspaper
influence cannot be doubted. It
lias gotten into every phase of busi
ness and is widespread.
In substance, Mr. Montague, who
Las made close observations of the
situation, believed that there was
need of more candidness, no excep
tion being made for Oregon news
papers. Ho said, quoting J. M.
Deck, that “A quarter of a century
ago men si ill enjoyed Sir Jehu Fal
staff; today it is Andy Gump. We
have lost a true s”iise of values, and
such loss has been in the past a sig
nificant sign of the decay of a civ
ilization.”
Frank Jenkins, t'ditur of the Eu
gene Morning Register, said in the
opening address of the evening, as
president of the Eugene chamber of
commerce, that “Eugene is a young
and ambitious city. It wants to
grow and there is only one reason it
can’t grow—that is a state of mind.
That slate of mind is wanting the
other person to bear the burden and
pay the taxes.” Here Mr. Jenkins
•was highly applauded, lie told how
the Eugene idiamber of commerce \
wanted to overcome this state of ■
mind and showed how it was the
duty of the press to aid in overcom
ing this state of mind.
Calvert Speaks
K. 0. Calvert, managing editor of
the Morning Oregonian, also spoke1
for a few minutes and entertained
with timely jokes and live wit.
Miss Marion >-don, student in jour
nalism at tlm uuiversity, gave a
speech‘of welcome to newspaper
men from the University of Oregon
students.
Erie VV. A'llen, dean of the school
of journalism, served as toastmaster
during the evening. 1 teali Allen ex
pressed appreciation to the Amer
ican Legion who had decorated the
room of the Oslmrii hotel, and also
thanked the Chase gardens for
flowers donated to the occasion.

Dreary> Clammy, Rain Has No Terrors
For Friends of Quarantined Students
It was raining. A dreary, soar
ing, clammy mist was changing the
world to a dripping vista of woebe
gouo objects. Trees, bushes, houses,
all seemed huddled together for sol
ace and protection from the relent
less elements.
But there was one place that was
not cheerless. Cold and wet, yes,
but not cheerless. Boys in slickers
and trench coals and sweaters and
jackets—girls in slickers and trench
coats and sweaters and jackets.
Bright umbrellas tip-tilted over a
laughing bevy of girls in one cor
ner; in the other a woman with
grey hair.
All were looking upward, all were
talking and laughing. In the win
dows of the house before them were
faces wistfully looking out at the
freedom denied them. Messages '
were passed from oue to the other: <
“Tell Jack I wish he’d come up too.
I would sure—” I know, dear, I’d
like to, but you—” “Why doesn’t
she come herself instead of always j
—” "Well, Doctor Miller says
that—” “You’re darned right i!
will. If they don’t let mo out—”
“Now Sonny, do just what the—”
“Well, if I don’t get out soon I 'll j 1
be sure to—”
It was visiting hour at Timelier
cottage. A few minutes more it
continued, and then the white robed
figure of the nurse appeared. “All
over,” she smiled, and I got my
news and loft. It '•had stopped
raining.
rCraig's Wife,’ Pulitzer Prise Winner
In 1925, to be Given by Guild Players
isne was an untrustworthy, uu-i
loving wife, who gave her hus
band’s home the atmosphere of a
reform school, drove his friends
from him by her cold and. domi
neering attitude, and nearly ruined
his business and his life. That is,
in brief, a characterization of the
woman who has the title role in
“Craig's Wife,” three-act drama to
be given by the Guild Hall players
February 28 and 20.
“Craig’s Wife” ran for several
successful seasons in New York, as
well as playing on tlie road. It
won the Pulitzer prize for 1925,
and is considered the outstanding
play by George Kelly, American
playwright, who has written nu
merous successes produced on the
New York stage.
Mrs. Craig is a strange character.
She has become almost a fanatic on
the subject of a perfect home.
Reared by a father and step-mother
with whom she was most unhappy,
| she resolved to have a home of
her own which, once obtained, she
would never relinquish. She mar
ried Walter Craig \vith this practi
cal idea in mind. The whole plqv
! teaches the unhappiness that may
| come out of such a situation.
The play is gripping, and never
falls below a certain line of ten
sion. It is thoughtful—psychologi
cal. The utter selfishness of the
woman, and her destructive effect
on all those concerned is so real in
its presentation that the onlooker
feels almost suffocated with it.
There is tragedy to be sure. One
after one, Craig’s friends, Craig’s
servants, Craig’s relatives, desert
him.and it takes the death
of his best friend to finally con
vince him of his wife’s character.
The play, to be presented on1
Thursday and Friday night, con
sists of a double cast of main char
acters, with some of the lesser char
actons playing both nights. The
Thursday night cast follows:
Mrs. Craig, Helen Allen; Walter
Craig, Perry Douglas; Maize,
Luelia Andre; Miss Austin, Mary
Uraham; Mrs. Harold, Muybello
Bcakloy; Ethel Landreth, Eleanor
Bennie; Mrs. Eraizer, Sylvan a Ed
monds; Billy Birkshire, Fletcher
Udall; Joseph Oatelle, Jack Dennis; |
Harry, Milton George; Eugene 1
Fredericks, Ed Merges.
The Friday night cast is the
same with the exception of the
first three characters: Airs. Craig,
Grace Gardner; Walter Craig, Gor
don Stearns; Maize, Joy Ingalls., i
The performances are under the ;
direction of Mrs. Ottilie T. Seybolt, ;
head of the drama department, and I
the staging effects arc to be work-1
ed on by the class in stage craft.
Music 'Appreciation
Specialist Visitor Here
Miss Margaret M. Streeter, the
representative of the educational
department of the Victor Talking
Maehiue'nompany of Camden, N. J., 1
who is a specialist in the teaching
of music appreciation in public j
schools, is in Eugene for the pur- j
pose of giving university practice '
teachers in public school music, in- j
struetion in methods of procedure.
To give illustrative demonstrations,
she will employ the,studouts of the
j Patterson school.
Through the courtesy of Mr.
! Gould, city superintendent of
j schools, and Miss Evelyn Dew, city
superintendent of music, M i s s
j Streeter will meet with the city
| teachers .and the council of the
Parent-Teacher association in Mr.
j Gould’s office Monday afternoon.
I These discussions arc to give in
1 spiratiou and a new understanding
of music appreciation.

Neglecting Good
Market in Orient
Oregon Needs More Trade
Overseas to Bring New
Prosperity, Says Fowler
Prosperity for Oregon. How may
it be obtained! One. way is to in
i’ reliso Oregon’s trade with Hawaii
and the Orient.
With this idea in mind, the re
search bureau of the business ad
ministration department at the Uni
versity of Oregon is conducting an
investigation of the possibility of
increasing the foreign trade of Ore
gon's cheese and creamery con
cerns.
Professor William A. Fowler is
directing this research in an effort
to stimulate the interest of the
cheese factories and creameries in
Oriental trade.
At the present time, stated Pro
fessor Fowler, there is very little
exportation of butter and cheese to
the Hawaiian Islands or the Orient.
A little butter lias been shipped to
China, but very little of this type
if Oregon produce is shipped direct.
San Francisco has u large trade ,
in butter and cheese to the Hawai
ian Islands, .the Orient, and Latin
America. Over a half million dol
ors worth of butter is shipped from
San Plan cisco to the Hawaiian
Islands every year.
Direct steamship service from
Portland to the Islands, established r
•econtly, by the American Hawaiian
ine, makes possible, the shipping of 1
Oregon products direct.
The most serious competition to'
Iregon foreign trade in butter and I
•house would be with New Zealand,
Professor Fowler said. New Zealand
rade with the Islands is well estab
isliud, not becauso of the superior
ly of its produce, but because New
lealaiul got in on this lucrative
rade first.
(Questionnaires have been mailed
;o all elieoso factories and cream
u'ies in the state. Information is
•equested as to whether or not the ■
firm is interested in foreign trade.
If the firm lias had any previous
-xpericnee in foreign trade, a state
ment of the handicaps they on
■ountered is requested.
The research bureau hopes to
lave statistics of practical value
•ompfled oa this subject in the near
future, accordingTio Professor Fow
ler.
Instrument Will Detect
Impurities in Water
McAlister’s Experiment of
Interest to Engineers
E. D. McAlister, professor in the
physics department, is conducting
nil experiment in which, by using a
thermo-couple, he is able to detect
changes' in transmitted light through
turbid water. By the use of a
crude equipment set up for student
use. Professor McAlister can detect
I one gram of day in a million cubic
i centimeters of water. With a more
I refined galvanometer, it is not im
probable that one gram in a billion
i centimeters of water could be de
tected, Professor McAlister said
I yesterday.
The results of this experiment are
valuable, especially to sanitary en
gineers who wish to know the
amount of suspended material in
water, to eLiable them to properly
dear the water.
The instrument is sensitive in de
tecting small changes in large tur
bidities, according to Professor Mc
Alister. As an example he said that
in a turbidity of 500 grams of day
to 1,000,000 centimeters of water, a
one per cent change is noticeable.
A more refined apparatus would
push the limit much higher. This
is where other methods usually fail.
Ancient Books
Change Piaees
In Library Vault
Early Shakespeare Folio
Rests Beside Jons oil’s
First Published Edition
Among the rare and valuable
books being reshelved in the vault
of the main library are many early
editions, curious both for antiquity
and for content. Removal of “Uni
versity of Oregon publications to
the press annex has provided more
room and better placing for those
early editions.
“Arithmetica Oeometria et Mu
siea Boettii” is one of the oldest
books in the vault. Xenophon’s
“Opera,” works in philosophy and
history, ranks lint few years after
it, being published in 1545. Boet
tius’ work bears an imprint mark
in its colophon of 14t>2, d(i years
after Gutenburghs 4“-line Bible.
A first edition of a book by Ben
Jonsou was published in Kilti, and
rests with a copy of the fourth folio
of Shakespeare, published in 1085,
in the university vault. The title
page of the latter announces, “Mr.
William Shakespeare’s Comedies,
Histories, and Tragedies, unto which
is added seven plays never before
printed in folio; viz., Pericles,
Prince of Tyre, The London Prodi
gal, History of Thomas Lord Crom
well, Sir John Oldcastle, Lord Cob
ham, The Puritan Widow, A York
shire Tragedy, and The Tragedy of
Loerirc.”
Opposite the title-page is an en
graving of Shakespeare’s likeness.
Under it is a poem which declares
to the reader that the engraver has
made an engraving of the author,
but since he can engrave only his
face and not the mind, “look to the
book,” not the umjj.
Among the perfect copies is a
first folio edition of Beaumont and
Fletcher printed in 1047.
The vault guards books too valu
able to be left for fire hazards, and
to prevent loss by theft. Students
may, through proper channels, gain
access to the vault for research
work.

Two hundred and twenty-seven
j periodicals added to the university
! library and not recorded iu the
| Union List of Serials as belonging
to the University of Oregon, have
been catalogued by the library staff
and listed iu a report made by M.
II. Douglass, university librarian.
1 The Union List, which was last
| published iu 1925, gives titles of all
| periodicals available, and notes the
libraries possessing copies. The ac
cessions noted are those acquired
since the publication of the list.
Some of the periodicals come in
complete sets, as the “Acta Matlic
inntiea” group, vols. 1-50, 1892
19-7; but most of them fill out in
complete sets already possessed by
the library. All types of magazines
are represented, ranging from
|“Godey’s Lady’s Book” to “Poor
Fish” and “Philogischo Woclien

“Where,” asks our investigator,
“does Erv Kincaid go when he bor

fraternity brothers?”
“And as for politics,” says our in
