Need a W hiteu ash Recipe? Just Ask Miss Lillian Tingle If a world championship were awarded the best question answer er, Miss Lillian Tingle, head of the household arts department, would undoubtedly be the successful can didate. Miss Tingle reports that she is accosted by strangers on the street who remark: “Pardon me, but you’re Miss Tingle, aren’t you, and could you please tell me if po tatoes are fattening?’’ Others cheerfully demand a recipe for gov ernment whitewash or inquire how to make Lima bean bread. When she answers the telephone, Miss Tingle may expect to answer anything from - what Is a good diet for a 14-year-old girl, to how to clean window shades. Letters from all 'over the states of Oregon, Washington, and California con tain such strange requests as how to remove chewing gum from a silk dress; how to make open face sandwiches; how to pronounce ca nape; how to cook dandelions;—• and Miss Tingle is required to pass judgment on all sorts of books on cookery, housekeeping, serving, care of children, and home decora tion. Such momentous questions as whether pineapple and grape fruit are reducing and how to make good animal cookies must toe con stantly answered toy this busy fac ulty member. Further, she is required to ad vise on breaking in a waffle iron, or expected to give directions for preventing hard-boiled eggs from breaking when peeled. Puzzled persons remark gayly, "Oh, I’m so glad I met you, Miss Tingle. You see I've been wondering for some time where I can buy a cookie press, and could you give me some “different” ways of serving car rots, or perhaps you can tell me how to make a fireless cooker.” And then again someone will provide variety by asking what kind of costumes^ certain charac ters in a play should wear, or how the housewife can make caraway cheese. Frequently she is request ed to budget a diminished income, or recommend a good color scheme February 20, 1931 Dear Friends: Did you ever think of it?—buying jewelry is just a little bit different than buying anything else. Here’s the point I'm trying to make: Mr. Skeie here has been in the jewelry business for 25 years. He has handled a lot of merchandise during that time and he knows the “inside” on every make of watch or clock that’s manu factured. He knows jewelry values from A to Z, and when you buy from him, you get the benefit of all that experience. In other words, it isn’t necessary that you learn the jewelry business in order to buy a ring. That’s part of the service of this store. You get what I mean, don’t you?

Woodruff, assistant professor of physical education for women, describes the present trend of athletics for high school girls; W. G. Beattie, associate professor of education, discusses "The Vis ual Aid to Instruction,” and L. K. Shumaker, supervisor of English A, describes sub-freshman English at the University. Another article in the booklet is "A Comparative Study of Text Books in Junior High School Math ematics," written by Mrs. David R. Davis, wife of Prof. D. K. Davis of the mathematics department. The remainder of the pamphlet contains editorials, comments, briefs in (he education field, recent publications, and the like. Diets Discussed By Lillian Tingle High School Students Hear Talk on Food Values __ “Nutrition” was the subject of two talks Monday, February 9, and he following Monday, February 16, by Miss Lillian Tingle, head of the household arts department, given before the social ethics class at University high school taught by Mildred McGee, senior in sociology. Miss Tingle discussed the ethi cal importance of the best diet for girls of high school age, some dan gers derived from half truths so prevalent in advertising and food fallacies in general. She empha sized the dangers of an ignorant reducing diet, and stressed the im portance of food values, giving ways to estimate whether the diet was a balanced one. The talks were illustrated by colorful dia grams published by the United States home economics bureau, which showed clearly the effect of various incomplete diets on the growth and development of rats, and gave the food values of var ious* classes of foods, deluding meats and vegetables. I WHAT SHOW TONIGHT ? Colonial — Clara Bow in "Her Wedding Night.” Heilig — Ben Lyon and Har ry Langdon in “A Soldier’s Plaything.” McDonald — Joan Crawford in "Dance, Fools, Dance.” Hex—Marion Lenox in"Fast and Loose.” Heilig Shows Hilarious Comedy The comic side of the American soldiers’ expedition into war-rid den France forms the basis for the hilarious "A Soldier’s Plaything,” coming to the Heilig today. It has a cast of all-stars, including Harry Langdon, Ben Lyon, Jean Hersholt, Noah Beery, Fred Kohler, and Lotti Loder, a new leading woman. Written by Vina Delmar, it is a regular regimental vaudeville show, showing all the comedy high spots of the war. Crawford Turns Reporter Joan Crawford turns to report ing to make her living in her role in "Dance, Fools, Dance,” now playing at the McDonald theatre. The story that revolves around Miss Crawford deals with a young girl and her brother who are thrown “out on their own” after their father's death and crash on the stock market. Her brother gets in with a bootleg gang, shoots SUNDAY all eyes will be on jail McDonald —there’s a reason Arc Welding Diminishes the Din of Steel Construction to a Whisper IN Boston—Dallas—Los Angeles—and in other cities, lofty buildings are going up so quietly that the passerby all but stops and strains an ear for the old familiar clangor. Silently, swiftly, rigidly, economically, arc welding knits steel with joints as strong as the metal itself. Arc welding is being used more and more in the fabrication of buildings and ma chinery, the construction of pipe lines and tanks, and as a repair tool of universal utility. Development of General Electric arc weld ing has largely been the work of college trained men. Others of the college men at General Electric are largely responsible for the high reputation won by hundreds of G-E products used in industry and in the home during the last thirty-seven years.

It brings to the screen a new leading wo man, Miriam Hopkins. She is di rect from Broadway, stepping out of a leading role there into the part in “Fast and Loose.” Others in the cast include Carole Lombard, Ilka Chasem and Charles Starrett. Clara Bow at the Colonial Clara Bow, titian tempest of the films, is back in Eugene today. “Her Wedding Night,” is the title of the latest opus, and includes Charles Ruggles, Skeets Gallagher, and Ralph Forbes in the cast. The film is an amusing comedy dealing with the situations that arise when a mock marriage turns out to be the real thing.

Jerusalem!”, the conclusion of Gounod’s cantata "Gallia,” as a triumphant climax, the first division of the polyphonic choir last night presented the win- j ter concert, under the skillful di rection of Arthur Boardman, to a large audience that nearly filled the music building to capacity. The choir, accompanied by or gan and piano, gave the long pro gram with spirit and power. The Bach chorale, “Deck Thyself, My Soul,” as a first number, showed the group’s strength in its long slow measures, and the director’s control appeared to advantage. A "Hymn to the Trinity,” Tschai kowski, was sung swiftly and with smoothness, while the first part of the program ended with Beetho ven’s joyous “Alleluia,” from the “Mount of Olives,” which rang out like a trumpet call. "Plantation Days,” a choral cy cle by N. Clifford Page, was com posed, as Mr. Eoardman explained to the audience, of old-time songs arranged in a setting of new mu sic. The choir demonstrated ability to sing both the impressive negro spirituals and familiar songs of the South, and the semi-modern set ting they were put in. Eight solo ists gave parts of the cycle, which ended with a combination of "Old Kentucky Home” and another tune, most ingeniously woven together and carried to a good climax. Gounod's “Gallia,” which con cluded the program, was splendid ly done and well conducted. The mournful cadence of the chant in the first part changed to the stir ring cry of “Jerusalem!”, the song of praise given first by the so prano soloist, Sally Addleman, and then by the whole choir for a gor geous dramatic ending. North Americans Change Continent Men Aid South America, Dr. Smith Believes A description of South Amer ica, drawn from actual experience in that continent, was presented over station KORE yesterday aft ernoon by Warren D. Smith, pro fessor of geology and geography. “South America is changing,” said Doctor Smith, “and in this process North Americans are per haps playing the greatest part.” These men, according to the Ore gon educator, are carrying on a great struggle to free the country from disease, ignorance, prejudice, and other elements which have held such a detrimental hold on the peoples of South America for many years. North American miners are tak ing copper out of mountains. 'North Americans are Showing the 1 people new methods of agriculture, new ways of raising cattle, and the most modern means of run ning their farms. Airways span the highest ranges of the Andes, and great plane3, piloted by North American pilots, carry the air mail thousands of miles between the larger cities. Big business in South America, according to Doc tor Smith, is backed by North American capital. “Whether the people resent this invasion of foreign inventions or not,” he said, "I do not know.” This program was presented as part of the regular Emerald edi torial program given over station KORE every afternoon from 4:45 to 5 o’clock.
