Letter Received From Dr. Moore Padua Congress Attended By Professor A member of the biology de partment has received a letter from Dr. A. R. Moore, former pro fessor of biology, who is on leave of absence in Europe. The letter is dated Sept. 29. “The congress in Padua was a great success,” Dr. Moore writes. "Nearly 500 attended. The best groups were the Italian and Ger man, although the French were well represented. The English and Americans were few and far be tween, so most of the reports were in German or Italian. The best thing was making acquaintances with interesting people. Since the session lasted eight days and there were many social parties, this was quite possible. Most of our old friends from Naples were there, including the director. “After the session we visited Venice, Vicenza, Verona, Mantua, Parma and Genoa. These, except the first and last mentioned, are not often visited by Americans so we were invariably spoken to in German. Mantua and Parma are especially interesting as there is a great wealth of Roman and me dieval remains. The cruise across the Italian lakes from Como to Stresa was very lovely in the sun light. Dr. and Mrs. Moore are now do ing research work at the Marine biological station in Brussels. Prominent Speakers To Appear at Math Groups Several prominent speakers will appear before the Mathematics! seminars in the near future, Dr. D. R. Davis, professor of mathemat ics, announced yesterday. The sub ject will concern the factoring of j numbers and will be interesting, Professor Davis said, not because of the methods used but because of the results obtained. The mathematics seminars are held three times a week on Tues days, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 10 o'clock. All those interested are invited to attend and to partici pate in the general discussion.

Railroad Inquiry Is Made by Wood Results of Research Used In Book An investigation into a cooper ative plan in use among import tint eastern railroads was conduct ed by Louis A. Wood, of the eco nomics department, during the year 1928-1929 with Yale univer sity as his headquarters. The re sults of this investigation were in corporated by Professor Wood in a book, “Union-Management Coop eration on the Railroads,” which will be released early next year by the Yale University press under the auspices of the William Mc Kean Brown Foundation. This enterprise has been con ducted almost solely by Professor Wood, as he made the eastern in vestigation alone and wrote the hppk with little or no collabora tion. His research took him into the shops of four railway compan ies; namely, the Baltimore and Ohio, the Chicago and Northwest ern, the Canadian National system, and the Milwaukee system. Juan It.

So far he has found conditions better than he antici pated and is meeting with great success in compiling his tales, he writes. He spent much time last sum mer trying to collect these tales, but the people were too busy to tell them at that time.

WHAT SHOW TONIGHT? Colonial — “Let’s Go Native,” with Jack Oakie. Comedy. McDonald — "Those Three French Girls,” with Reginald Denny. Farce. Heilig Bebe Daniels in “Dixi ana.” Musi-extravaganza. Guild Hall “Holiday.” Wednes day, Thursday, Friday. Open ing play of Guild theatre. McDonald Show Naughty But Nice Reginald Denny and Fifi Dorsay head a dazzling cast in “Those Three French Girls,” mildly naughty farce of Gay Paree, which opens today at the McDonald thea tre for a three-day run. The plot of the farce was writ ten by P. G. Wodehouse, one of America’s best humorists, and it is said to contain a laugh in every reel and a howl in every line of the dialogue. The three girls are Fifi Dorsay, Sandra Ravel, and Yola D’Avril. The picture con tains but one song, “Your Simply Delish,” sung by Miss Dorsay. * * Brevities “The Way of All Men" is the title of the Heilig theatre’s next attraction. . . . Jackie Coogan has releasecj his first talking picture. “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer." ... Norma Talmadge's “Du Barry,” due in Eugene presently, is regarded as the final test of the i future Miss Talmadge has in films. It would be interesting to see a return of “Holiday,” as interpreted First Social Swim Draws Fifteen to Gerlinger Pool Fifteen people turned out to the first social swim of the year, Fri day night at Gerlinger hall, in spite of the conflicting entertain ments occurring at the same time, the Frosh-Kook game and the Junior Jinx. Mrs. French and Mrs. Scaife acted as chaperons. The swims, which will occur regularly on Friday evening from 7:15 to i), are open to everyone. They are classed under the recrea tional activities of the University and charge no admission. Paul Lafferty, who is managing in the films, soon after the Guild production. Ann Harding has the part Nancy Thielsen is playing. Oakie at Colonial In the best talkie of his career, Jack Oakie arrives at the Colonial theatre today in “Let’s Go Native.” The film is much superior to “The Lion Tamer,” appearing here sev eral months ago. Jeannette MacDonald, one of the screen’s loveliest women, is his feminine lead, which assures the audience that what singing there is in the picture is in capable hands. * * * Dixiana Closes Today “Dixiana," musical extravaganza of the Old South, starring Bebe Daniels, is one of the most color ful pictures of its type to come to Eugene. There are some excel lent sequences in technicolor. As in all such pictures, the thread of plot is weak, but Bebe Daniels’ voice, along with the famous Dan iels of the Metropolitan, adds much to make “Dixiana” other j than just a mass of color. * * * “Miclnite Mystery,” which is j playing at the State theater, to i night, has an unusually exciting I plot. Betty Compson handles the feminine role very well and gives j a surplus of thrills in addition to those supplied by the plot. Lowell ' Sherman, who is playing with Miss Compson, is all that a hero I should be. lifeguard and he will be assisted throughout the year by Edith j Greene. Mrs. Letty Mowry will j chaperon the weekly splashes. I ■ Gentlemen.... Every woman likes a well-groomed man. 1 he secret of this popularity is Clothes, and they must be in style and clean.

Snowy Weather Prolongs Jaunt r> ETTING snowbound in the * mountains is one way of prolonging the week-end. Cath erine Bourhill, of Susan Camp bell hall, went for a day’s trip to Mt. Hood this last week-end and is staying three days. She telephoned Sunday night that the party was snowed in and would not be able to return until Monday.

Dr. Hodge Recommends African Film as Genuine That all African movies aren’t fakes was admitted by Dr. Edwin T. Hodge yesterday, when he rec ommended “Africa Speaks" as be ing legitimate and bona fide photo play of wild life in the Dark con tinent. The picture appeared re cently at the McDonald theatre. “Unlike other pictures that have appeared recently in Eugene, the scenes in “Africa Speaks” appear ed to be genuine. They had been taken on the game preserve at Athi in Kenya. The shots of lions, giraffes, and antelopes were excel lent. Zane Addresses P.-T. A.; Taylor To Present Topic Nowland B.

Bob Goodrich, a competi ! lor of Harper’s, was also back in ! the studio with “What’s the Use” ! and “Nobody’s Sweetheart.” I An instrumental trio, composed | of Bud Nicklaus, Carl Collins, and | Carl McDowell offered "Confes j sin’ ” and “Just a Little Closer.” Bud Nicklaus and “Sing” Har I per presented a double piano ar | rangement of “Girl From Agua Caliente" in rhythmic rattles and j rumbles. “You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me,” by Johnny Smedburg, was well received.

The broadcasting of the Emer ald-KORE hour from the main stu dios last Sunday was only tem porary and the broadcast will be relayed from the campus studios in the College Side Inn henceforth. This arrangement for broadcast ing was made possible by Newt Smith, manager of the College Side, and has proved extremely popular among college students who may easily call at the inn ana dance and sup while the programs are being broadcast. • Dean Faville Lists New Books for Business Men Business condition today and its history of yesterday is completely outlined in the list of books which Dean David E. Faville, school of business administration, has re cently compiled. Dean Faville will give a talk at the Rotary club this noon at which a mimeographed copy of these books will be given to those who attend. These books are not too technical but what everyone can readily understand them, yet they do bring out the important points in the business discussion of today. Anyone who is interested in these books may obtain a copy of the list.at the library or at the offices of the school of business administration. Checking on Study Time A time card system is being in troduced for the engineering stu dents at Wisconsin to aid the pro fessors in measuring the amount of work actually required to cover their assignments. The results so far are varied. One engineer spent 14 hours on a thesis, while an other, less studiously inclined, spent only 14 hours on seven courses including his thesis. The report does not intimate how the system works, but it is certain that the device will not measure efficiency in the use of time. BARGAIN! Late 1929 Plymouth Sport Roadster. Condition guaranteed.
