WHAT SHOW TONIGHT? McDonald — “Raffle s,” with Ronald Colman. Heilig—“The Floradora Girl,” with Marion Davies. Colonial—Helen Kane in “Dan gerous X’an MeGrew.” State—“Journey's End,” with Colin Clive and English east. “Journey’s End” Is Powerful One of the very great dramas in screen history is playing at the State theatre today. It is “Jour ney's End,” a simple, intense story of the World war and its conse quences on the souls of men. It has no tremendous battle Scenes with thundering cannonade; it points no moral, nor has it any women in the cast. But it man ages to contain some of the big gest dramatic moments ever staged on screen or stage. "Journey’s End” tells of the English schoolboy, Raleigh, and his hero-worship for his older friend, Stanhope. He comes into the trenches and finds his idol wear ing clay feet, but he understands why and how his idol came to be a drunkard and still sees him as a hero. It is the type of picture that sends one out into the street thanking God that it is over, so intense is the emotional strain, but tremendously moved and angered at the brutality of hysteria that sends men into foul, stinking holes underground, and into the battle fields to be blown to destruction; totally disregarding the distortion it wreaks on their lives. "Journey’s End” is a dramatic event. —L. M. • * * Colman in Good Medium Starting today, the Fox McDon ald is presenting that popular star of "Bulldog Drummond” and “Con demned,” Ronald Colman, in his latest picture made for United Artists, “Raffles.” Adapted from the famous short stories by E. W. Hornung, “The Amateur Cracksman” offers Col man a wonderful medium in which to show his art, and “Raffles” is the result. It shows the famous crook in a society circle where stakes are high, and risks great. But the long list of successful en terprises finally comes to an end iWomen’s Events To Be Scheduled A.W.S. To Keep (luloiular Of Meetings, Special Occasions In order to eliminate the con tusion which sometime results when more than one event is sched uled on a day, a schedule or cal endar will be kept by the Associat ed Women Students in the office of the dean of women. Dates of all meetings or other events which are planned by organizations of women students which will effect a considerable group of students must be on this calendar. Since there lias been conflict in past years because groups inad vertently schedule meetings and special events on the same day, the A. W. S. at a recent council meeting decided to institute the calendar in an effort to prevent future confusion. Ann Baum is to be in charge of the calendar. She will notify or ganizations in case of conflicting dates. Presidents of houses, hon oraries, frosh commission, Y. W. C. A., Philomelete, and any other groups affecting a large number of women are especially asked to put dates of meetings and social events on this calendar. Home presidents will be notified at Heads of Hous es meeting, and Miss Baum is sending cards to others who are af fected by this new procedure.

From that time on he meets with reverses and finally a rousing cli max brings the story to an end. Helen Kane at Colonial At the Colonial theatre for the i last time today, Helen Kane is boop-a-dooping her way through "Dangerous Nan McGrew.” The picture is a delightful ' series of impossible situations. It is Helen Kane at her best. As the brighter half of a medi cine show, the Kane effects the capture of a bold, bad bandit who is wanted for murder. There is ten thousand dollars on his head, and Helen is cold and hungry. * * * Where Nighties Were Somber A breath of a brilliant if some what faded past sweeps across the screen of the Heilig theater where Marion Davies is playing "The Floradora Girl.” This is a pan orama of New York in the Gay Nineties when even bathing suits had high necks and long sleeves, and a trip to Staten Island on a bicycle built for two was decidedly more of a treat than a motor trip is today. The picturesque scenes, quaint costumes and outmoded morals de picted In the picture offer a sim ilar diversion to that of looking through grandma’s album with the added interest of the droll pictures coming to life. Very much worth while. —L. M. Frosh To Learn Activities of YW Commission Plans Pageant For Wednesday Freshman women a big sur prise awaits you. Don’t tell any one, but be sure to see the clever stunt which Dorothy Thomas and Mildred McGee are going to pre sent at the pageant next Wednes day afternoon at the Y bungalow.

MEZ, OREGON PROF, WRITES ABOUT EUROPE (Continued from Page One) timent in Germany is considered incompatible with the peace of Europe. This fear is not justified, however, for various reasons; the causes of the sudden rise of nation alist votes to more than six mil lions are economic rather than po litical. Germany has been in the throes of an economic crisis, deep er perhaps than any other coun try. “Moreover, her social welfare legislation, all the social insurance, in addition to the unemployment of three million men have heavily drawn on her finances, A revul sion in the sentiment of a large section of the German people is but natural under the difficult and precarious conditions under which the country finds herself. The bur dens imposed upon the nation by the Young plan have materially aggravated Germany's difficulties. Attends League Meet “This was brought out impres s ively by Foreign Minister Curtis in his address before the League of Nations assembly which I heard at Geneva on Sept. 16.

He delivered his ail- j Writes Home DR. JOHN R. MKZ dress in a very tactful and modest manner, and was received with warm applause. The French for eign minister, Mr. Aristide Briand, who sat with the French delega tion, listened attentively to the en tire address. He appeared to be rather ner vous, presumably on account of the breakers ahead of his proposed United States of Europe, although his tone was very optimistic and confident in his address delivered on the day before. Visits International Bank The Bank of International Pay ments at Basle has already proved to be of considerable importance in the settlement of international ob ligations. The bank has only 20 depositors with 320,000,000 Swiss francs in deposits. It has been sug gested that the bank take an ac tive part in the stabilization of the foreign exchanges of Europe and call a conference to consider the causes of the world wide break in prices. It is likely that the bank will some day take an active part in the control of international gold movements. The vice-president of the bank, Mr. Leon Fraser (who has been a friend of mine since the pre-war days) welcomed me at Basle where the International Bank is located. We visited the bank and were entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Fraser. Italian Customs “Italy makes a very favorable impression.

Hart Schaffner & Marx Clothes Stetson Hats—Ide Shirts—Vassar Underwear Half of you men in college have "Athlete’s foot” .... says U. S. report OU may call it toe itch, golf X itch—the "doc” may call it ringworm — millions of people who catch it, call it "Athlete’s Foot”—but all of them are the same. A ringworm parasite, tinea trichophyton by name, causes that redness between the toes with i-t-c-h-i-n-g. Tiny blisters or a thick, moist skin condition may be another symp tom. Again dryness, with little scales, is a signal. "At least half of all adults suffer from it at some time,” says the U. S. Public Health Service. In universities as far apart as Pennsylvania and Cali fornia 50% of the men have it. And the co-eds are not immune either. It lurks in the very places where we all go for cleanliness and health — on the edges of swimming pools and showers— in gymnasiums—on locker- and dressing-room floors. It spite of modern sanitation (you have to boil socks 15 minutes to kill it) this fungus parasite infects and reinfects bare feet almost any time they come in contact with damp floors. Absorbine Jr. kills the germ of "ATHLETE’S FOOT” Tests in a famous New York "lab” have revealed that Absorbine Jr. penetrates flesh like tissues deeply and that wherever it penetrates, it KILLS the ringworm germ. It might not be a bad idea to examine your feet tonight. At the first sign of the symptoms mentioned here, douse on Absorbine Jr. And keep a bottle handy in your locker as a pre ventive.
