Lincoln Story Success
Today, on the birthday of its in
spiration, the Colonial theatre is
presenting "Abraham Lincoln,” as
interpreted by Walter Huston, and
Stephen Vincent Binet, who wrote
the script.
Produced with an accurate eye
to the facts of Lincoln's life and
times, the picture is never only a
history lesson. The story is vivid,
moving, and carries a strong dra
matic story. Huston is splendid
in this role which marks him as
one of America’s finest character
actors. His marked resemblance
to the emancipator is startling.
Garbo and Montgomery Star
The glamorous and fascinating
Greta Garbo comes back with
more lure than even that of her si
lent days in “Inspiration,” current
feature at the McDonald theatre.
If there are any adjectives left
unsaid for this dynamic star, the
dictionary must yield now, for she

merits all the extravagances the
English language permits for her
superb performance.
Included in the cast of the new
film are Robert Montgomery, Lew
is Stone, Marjorie Rambeau, John
Miljan, and Beryl Mercer.
Woman’s Past Klim Subject
The story of a girl who craves
luxury, finds a man wealthy and
willing, makes a mistake, falls in
love and finds her past rising up
to demand an expiation, is the
theme of the Rex theatre’s current
film, "Once a Sinner.”
The cast is headed by Dorothy
Maekaill, well remembered for her
work in the "Office1 Wife;” Joel
McCrea, Ilka Chase, and Sally
Blane.
“Truth About Youth”
Loretta Young and David Man
ners are co-starred in the current
Heilig feature, "Truth About
Youth,” playing for the last times
today.
In this story of the supposed ills
of modern youth a wild complicat
ed story pretends to tell the truth,
in reality becoming only a mild and
rather amusing comedy.
Included in the cast, besides the
stars, are Myrna Loy, Conway

| “Sir,” said a bell-hop of the Os
I burn hotel to Bishop Walter Tay
i lor Sumner, who was basking in
the sunlight through the large
front hotel window during his first ;
interview a few minutes after ar-1
riving in Eugene. “You are want-!

Bishop Sumner retired for a few
minutes and announced that the
operator had informed him that
the reception committee was on its
way to meet him and would he re
ceive them.
Shortly afterwards, Vinton Hall,
Emerald editor, drove up to the '■
front entrance of the hotel with
his famed roadster full and over-1
flowing with eds and co-eds. Upon
the back the trusty cameras of
| George Godfrey, head of the public

Six women and four men draped
themselves over the car and around
j Bishop Sumner while the camera
! clicked many times.
The reception committee had
been received and the noisy crowd
left the bishop for a couple of
hours peace and returned to the
campus.
SOUTH ▼
AMERICA
As Seen 'by Dr. Smith
The colorful Argentine, with its
pampas and mountains, was the
subject of last night’s lecture on
"A Visit to South America” by
Dr. Warren D. Smith, professor of
geology. The talk was the sixth
of a series of ten by Dr. Smith
being sponsored by the University
extension division.
“The Argentine is divided geo
graphically into five parts,” said
Dr. Smith, “the largest of which
is the pampas, the great agricul
tural section. The other divisions
are the grand Chaco, a swampy
area in the north; the Entre Rios,
a frequently flooded country,
which nevertheless contains some
fine ranches; the Andean moun
tains, and the slopes of the Andes.
Populated Peculiar Way
“Argentina is populated in a pe
culiar manner. One will come to
a great thickly populated city, and
then pass through a great coun
tryside which seems practically de
serted. This has been the great
est problem of Buenos Aires, han
dling the masses of people who
have come in discouraged from the
farms.
“Out on the pampas, the thing
that strikes the eye is the wind
mills. There seem to be more
windmills than cattle. There is no
coal to speak of in the Argentine,
and the Andes are too far away
for securing electrical power, so
the wind is the best source of
power. Drouths hit these plains
frequently, and clouds of locusts
make almost everything else dis
appear.
Resources Are Livestock
“The Argentine’s resources are
principally in the form of live
stock. Some idea of the number
of cattle down there can be ob
tained from the fact that one of
their big exports is dried blood, to
be made into fertilizer. American
capital has built huge refrigera
tion plants in the Argentine, such
concerns as Swift’s, Armour’s, and
Libby's.
“Their chief crop is alfalfa,
which has just recently been in
troduced. Fl&x seed, wheat, corn,
grapes, sugar, and fruit are also
grown in large quantities. The
! Argentine’s most important tree is
the quebracho, Spanish for ’break
an axe,’ signifying its hardness.
This tree furnishes tannic acid,
which is used in tanning animal
hides, one of the big industries
down there.
Argentine’s Minerals Slight
“The Argentine’s minerals are
relatively slight compared with
the rest of South America. Coal
is especially noticeable by its ab
sence. They have large resources
of oil, however, which is being de
veloped by the big American com
panies.
"The Argentine has the finest
system of railroads in South
America, 25,000 miles of them.
These have been largely built by
the English. There is a saying
down there that the English built
the railways, the French con
structed the docks, the Italians
run the restaurants, the Amerl
' cans own the mines, and the Ar
gentinians live in Paris!”

STATE LIBRARIAN TO
SPEAK HERE TODAY
(■Continued from Page One)
that a student select a field of
major interest, for, as Mrs. Mc
Clain said, “The librarian must
know a little about everything, and
if she doesn't specialize in some
thing before she finishes school,
she never will.” Mrs. McClain
recommended social thought and
problems, and history as good
fields in which to specialize. The
library worker is, of course, ex
pected to know a good deal about
literature. The sciences, however,
according to Mrs. McClain, are
generally left to specialists.
“Book Selection” Topic
The University is giving two
courses in library work this year.
The first, taught last term by Miss
Lenore Casford, periodical libra
rian, was on reference work and
library methods. The second is
being taught this term by Mrs.
McClain, and is called “Book Se
lection.”
Several library courses are of
fered by the University during
summer school, when an attempt
is made each year to bring a lead
ing librarian from the East or Cal
ifornia. There are usually courses
on cataloguing and high school li
brary work given, as well as oth
ers.
Appointments with Miss Long
for students who are interested in
library work may be made through
the dean of women’s office. Miss
Long will be able to meet appoint
ments from 1:30 until 4 Thursday
afternoon, and until 10:30 Friday
morning.

Infirmary Draws
Capacity Group
Stipe Confined on Eve of
Campus Play
The University infirmary was
yesterday once more filled to ca
pacity, and some students in need
of medical care had to be turned
away because of lack of room.
The cause of confinements is
varied, although there are no ser
ious cases at the present time.
Jack Stipe, however, came to the
infirmary yesterday suffering from
a throat ailment and found it dif
ficult to use his voice. He was
scheduled to appear in the four
act comedy, "The Single Man,”
last night but at a late hour yes
terday it was undetermined wheth
er he could take part in the play
or not.
Besides Stipe the following stu
dents are confined at the infirm
ary: Dorothea Goodfellow, Ruth
Irwin, Elizabeth Carpenter, Carol
Watson, Norman Cool, Christine
McCullough, Sydney Cowan, Kel
sey Berland, Boyd Yaden, Orville
