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

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?

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.

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.

Polyphonic Choir Triumphs
In Winter Concert Progam
By JANET FITCH
With "Jerusalem! 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.

Dance
Enchantments
Are always to be had
when one can have the house
completely decorated, and
when one doesn’t have to
worry about little details.
That is, if you let the Uni
versity Florist handle the
decorations. Tall, stately
palms will give any dance
the right kind of distinctive
background. If you will call
6-5-4, and let the Florist
come out and give you an

more than pleased with their
willingness to aid you in
decorating. “Sue” advises
you to try them next time.
