Barrymore at ihr. Colonial
John Barrymore, one of the
Stage’s outstanding personalities,
appears at the Colonial today in
his latest talking picture, "Gen
eral Crack.”
The film offers Barrymore
splendid opportunity for the dra
matic type of role that suits him
best, and which made him famous
in "Moby Dick," as an artist of
the talkies.
The theme deals with a romance
of eigthteenth century Europe.
Married Life Satirized
The Heilig is featuring today for
the last time, "Personality," fea
turing the two popular young com
edians, Johnny Arthur and Sally
Starr.
The film is an all-talking com
edy of married life and its re
sultant ills. It is the best comedy
vehicle young Arthur has yet. ob
tained.
Hex Has Crook Drama
Mary Nolan is the featured play- 1
er in "Outside the Law," current
Hex feature.
Although the plot deals princi
pally with the professional activ
ities of crooks, the emotional and
human side of the crooked crafts
men is not forgotten. Many dra
matic situations are developed
along with a wow of a climax.
The other players include Owen
Moore and Edward Robinson.
“New Moon” Is Success
"New Moon," starring Lawr
ence Tibbett and Grace Moore, I
which opened at the McDonald
theatre last night, is unquestion
ably one of those pictures that
can be placed head and shoulders
above the average.

Dear Friends:
It seems to me that something new is always turning
up in the way of costume jewelry.
I think that I never saw anything quite so good looking
as the new necklace and earring sets in gold and black and
in rhinestones which Mr. Skeie put out there on the show
case the other day.
I want you to see them. They will help to complete
your chic ensemble and add that certain something to your
formal.
We have a wonderful line of costume jewelry. The
trade magazines say it's “all the rage" and I think maybe
one reason is that it’s so reasonable in price. And so un
usual in design.
Won't you (,lrop in?
TICK
P. S. Don’t forget Vogue says Rhinestone clips for the
hair are the very latest. We have these and how lovely
they are!

Oregon Author’s
Novel Published
Graduate Now Prominent
In Literary Field
“Whispering Range,” a novel of
fast action in a Western setting
when "cattle was king,” by Er
nest Haycox, Oregon author, will
appear January 30, it is announced
by Doubleday Doran, publishers.
It is the third novel by this prom
ising young Portland writer to be
published by this company, the
two previous ones being "Free
Grass” in 1929, and “Chaffee of
Roaring Horse” in 1930.
"Whispering Range,” like the
two earlier volumes, is a story of
the West, and publishers declare it
is a broader and better volume
than either of the others. It has
a fast moving plot and is skill
fully written from all angles.
Mr. Haycox, a graduate of the
University of Oregon where he
was prominent in literary work,
has now been writing for 10 years.
He has published a great many
short stories in such magazines as
Collier’s and others of high class.
Last fall five of his stories were
listed in the O. Henry anthology.

Tribute was paid the University
of Oregon extension division by
Louis Wessel, now a senior in for
estry at Oregon State, who com
pleted 12 units of college entrance
requirements and finished 75 hours
of correspondence study for col
lege credit with an average grade
of It through the extension divi

sel writes:
“If it had not been for corre
spondence study, I should not be
finishing my senior work this year,
I should not this week have been
pledged a member of Xi Sigma
Pi, a national honor fraternity in
forestry, and I should not now
have the satisfaction of standing
about sixth in a school of some
150 students. I should, indeed,
perhaps never have had these ex
periences.”
Mr. Wessel started his corre
spondence study when he was 39
years old, and at a time when he
uvas too ill to work. He success
fully completed courses in English,
history, physics, mechanical draw
ing, botany, geology, meteorology,

Married Women
Teachers ^Are
Opposed Again
Dr. C. L. Huffaker Gives
Statistical Data on
This Question
Married women teachers in Ore
gon more nearly approach the
teaching ideal, devotion of life to
their work, than do the single
teachers, in spite of the fact that
there is wide agitation against
their employment and, in many
cities, absolute discrimination
against them.
This is one of the conclusions
reached by Dr. C. L. Huffaker,
professor of education at the Uni
versity of Oregon, who, with the
cooperation of the state depart
ment of education, has just pub
lished the most complete survey
of the teacher employment situa
tion ever made in Oregon. He
also found that, while there is an
over-supply of teachers in the
state, there is no over-production
of adequately prepared ones.
No educational question has
come more to the front in recent
years than that concerning mar
ried teachers, Dr. Huffaker be
lieves, and- it is especially import
ant in the present time of uncer
tain business conditions. Many su
perintendents are refusing to em
ploy married women, declaring
that they will keep their positions
open to those who must support
themselves, while others declare
that efficiency alone should be the
rule of selection.
Out or every 100 women teach
ers in Oregon, 35 are married, and
these 35 keep their jobs longer,
have had a great deal more ex
perience, and are drawing just as
high salaries and often higher,
than their unmarried sisters. On
the whole, however, they are not
as well trained as the single
teachers, though the greater ex
perience may compensate some
what for this factor.
More than 90 per cent of all mar
ried women have taught four years
or more, while almost 30 per cent
have taught more than 16 years,
while all the married women have
taught an average of 11.5 years,
and the single women only 6.1
years. According to a national
survey, the average professional
life of the teacher is 6.75, slightly
above the single teacher here, but
nearly five years lower than the
Oregon married teacher.
While the married ones hold
their jobs slightly longer than the
unmarried, the average tenure for
both is relatively unsatisfactory.
Married women stay an average of
3.7 years, while single women re
main in one place but 2.8 years.
Whether or not this short tenure
is due to the fact that the teach
ers are advancing to higher posi
tion or whether they are simply
moving from place to place is im
possible to determine, Dr. Huffa
ker pointed out.
Disproving the theory that mar
ried women may be employed for
less than the others, Dr. Huffaker's
survey shows that in Oregon they
are paid just as much as the single
ones, and in some departments,
particularly in the elementary
schools, are paid more.
While Dr. Huffaker points out
these figures do not show which
married teachers are actually sup
porting themselves, and which are
not, they lead to the general con
clusion that other things being
equal, the married teacher is just
as efficient, if not more so, than
the single teacher.

SOUTH ▼
▼AMERICA
As Seen by Dr. Smith
The cities of South America was
the main topic of the lecture giv
en last night by Dr. Warren D.
Smith, professor of geology in the
fourth of his series of ten lectures
on "A Visit to South America,”
being sponsored by the University
i extension division.
"In many ways the large South
American cities are superior to
ours,” said Dr. Smith. “They are
filled with beautiful parks, great
open spaces filled with trees, flow
ers, walks, and benches. Their
j streets usually radiate from a cen
tral plaza, and are very broad and
handsome. One promenade in
Santiago is a hundred yards wide.
“The large cities are very clean
and sanitary, although some of
the small towns in northern Brazil
are filthy.
“Skyscrapers are rare in South
America. Montevideo had one 23
stories high which every visitor is
shown. Rio de Janeiro boasted one
of 18 stories. Skyscrapers are im
possible in some of the cities, as
in Chile, on account of the fre
quent earthquakes.
“I was surprised at the good
regulation of traffic down there
and the seemingly complete ab
sence of accidents.
“Cafes and restaurants are plen
tiful in South America. One finds
all kinds, French, Italian, Spanish,
and native. They are an institu
j lion down there. People believe in
j taking plenty of time to eat. They
do not eat to live—they live to eat.
( “Everywhere in South America
one sees art—painting, sculpture,
and architecture. All of the archi
tecture has a European influence,
and sometimes results in some
queer buildings. You’ll see a Span
ish chapel with a Moorish tower.
The large cities have splendid art
galleries. People of North Amer
ica do not realize the art treasures
that exist down there.
“One of the greatest parts of
South American cultural life is
La Prensa, Buenos Aires' great
newspaper. There are not head
lines in this newspaper. The first
seven or eight pages are filled with
classified advertisements. No head
lines are used. No lurid stories
are printed. ‘Love nests’ are con
sidered a private affair, not a pub
lic one. La Prensa feels it is part
of its duty to educate the people.
It was the principal factor in
bringing on the recent revolution
and deposition of the former pres
ident, of the Argentine.

Underworld Tongs Overrun
I Uniiv^rsity as Bombs Burst
Warring Gangsters Stage
Pitched Street Battles
With Big Losses
Not content with overrunning
Chicago and points east, the un
derworld has laid its slimy hands
upon the Oregon campus. Cars
. heavily laden with bombers fare
forth to deal destruction to mem
! bers of other “tongs” and if two
such cars meet—woe to the inno
cent bystander!
Pitched street battles have
taken place. One scrap between
a Buick roadster and an unidenti
fied car wa.s especially notable for
the agony caused by a direct hit
in the latter car.
• A running fight on Nineteenth
street was reported but not con
firmed. Rumors were that a long
blue touring car had drawn along
side of a car bearing several mem
bers of another “tong” and bru
tally opened hostilities. The out
come was reported to be disas
trous.
One man, lying half asleep in
the sunshine just outside the men’s
gym, was bombed by six men in
a roadster. Fortunately, the
sleeper was awakened by the first
shot, which was a miss, and man
aged to hide behind a stone em
bankment.
Even assaults upon the dens of
the warring factions have been
made but have been repulsed with- j
out great loss of life.
Things have not progressed so ;
far that it will be necessary to
call out the national guard, but
when aim becomes more accurate,
umbrellas will have to be carried
as shields against the bombs,
which consist of paper bags en
casing a core of very wet water.
PROFESSOR VISITS OLD
SPANISH COMMUNITY

a substantial contribution. In a
large number of the villages the :
custom of evening story-telling, j
when all the neighbors congre- j
*ate, still prevails, though it is
gradually dying out.
Of course, Mr. Rael did not have
ime to listen to the tale which
asted the whole winter, though he
lid hear a part of it. Told by
Felix Esquivel, it started with the
creation and extended far into
Spanish history. It contained an
Interesting sidelight on the crea
tion. The Lord, having in mind
Adam’s need for a mate, extracted
from him a rib and placed it on
the branch of a tree while he
closed up Adam's wound. A mon
key stole the rib, and in gaining
it back the Lord lost a bit of It
to the monkey. This was the part
which would have been Eve's
Adam's apple, which is supposed
to be the reason women haven’t
any.
One elderly widow, Refugio Val
des, of Costello, whom Mr. Rael
met last summer, was waiting for
him with more than sixty tales,
which form one of the most impor
tant parts of the collection. Many
of the story tellers were also good
actors, he said. Senor Esquivel,
in telling how a villain stalked
another character, got down on
the floor and sneaked out from be
hind a chair. The tales were
widely varied in subject, some of
them involving elaborate riddles.
A number of them have subjects
which are universal, such as the
Cinderella story, the fox and wolf
tale, and so on.
Many parts of New Mexico and
Colorado are yet entirely popu
lated by Spanish people, and it
has only been during the last fifty
years that Anglo-Saxons have be
gun to settle there at all. Public
records are kept both in English
and in Spanish, while in all public
meetings, such as the courts or the
legislature, an interpreter is al
ways present. Though there are
no railroads, and but few automo
biles, Mr. Rael found the roads in
good condition, with some of them
graveled. ,
The simple houses made of
adobe are often quite artistic, Mr.
Rael said. Red peppers hung on
