There have been skirmishes and a number have been filled and wounded, but in spite of this each nation has been reluctant to declare open war and has maintained that moves are made only to protect their Manchurian rights. What their rights are no one seems to know. One cannot help but believe that, shorn of the rumors that persistently float back and forth of menacing moves by either country, negotiations for a peaceful settlement might have been completed some time ago. Only recently the United States be came seriously involved when false reports reached Japan con cerning certain statements of Secretary of State Stimson. The papers were covered with headlines of the incident until it was finally straightened out. Such a state of affairs is not unique. Most wars arise from just such situations. Once the national pride has been aroused, it takes only a rumor to start things going. Of course, when 1 nation is looking for trouble anyway, it takes even less than that. Japan has an intense national pride. More than that, her industries demand the concessions in Manchuria. They are con cessions that were secured as the result of many years of labor, and the maintenance of these rights will be pursued with un usual fervor. China, on the other hand, has no real national sentiment. Her millions are dominated in turns and portions by the prevailing political and military leaders. It is hard to say such a thing, but a great war would probably do a lot or good for China. It might serve to solidify the country and mold a national senti ment. And while nationalism is not to be extolled beyond reason, there is a necessity for such a spirit in a country in the dis organized state of China. But we are not speaking for war. The effects of armed con flict are more far reaching than ever before. The good that might result is far outweighed by the evil that is certain to follow such a struggle. We would rather recommend communism for China than war—a war that she would be almost certain to lose. What is needed in this crisis to secure a peaceful settlement of the Manchurian disputes is intelligent editorial leadership. The newspapers of the world have it in their power to prevent war in the East. The liberal splashing of war stories over the front pages —stories made up in large part of rumors—can promote the belligerence of the two countries involved more than any other thing. Newspaper editors might be moved to guidance in the interests of humanity rather than the pockettiook for a change. r i Mr. Average Man Thinks Perfectly in accord with the care less student attitude was the ar ticle on how to study for final exams published in this morning's Emerald. Professor Tuttle may have meant his suggestions as the best way out of an inevitable sit uation. If so, well and good. The fact remains, however, that crain ing for final exams is never as satisfactory as steady application throughout the term. Of course, there are many cours es where one can get enough in formation in a last week cram to get by very comfortably on. The courses might just as well have never been carried, as far as the value of the subject to the student is concerned. There’s not much use criticizing any one part of the University cur riculum. It is poorly organized and fails absolutely in trying to pro vide adequate education for all of its students. Not that there aren't lots of good courses and efficient departments in the University .The bad courses hinder the good ones and are detrimental in themselves. * * * The average man has no objec tion to women smoking hut please, girls, try to do it in a ladylike manner. One of those polo-coated co-eds who delight in shocking, walked in the door of a restaurant this noou putting a cigarette wiLh all the vigor and gestures of the late Theodore Roberts, famed mov ie star, smoking his cigar. » * * Two new ideas popped up yester day in the football situation. An International News service sports writer wants to insure tiie football players' lives at the expense of the colleges and a letter to a local edi tor says why not allow the athletes to play professional sports in sum mer. Both are good ideas from a cer tain point of view. As aids in the general cleansing of the athletic football situation they are value less. There must be a revolution ary change in the application pf sports to college life. The whole system is a mushroom, parasitic growth that has risen over the lax control given athletics by trus tees. * * « One of the most powerful and | certainly the most amazing world [figure today is "Saint” Mahatma Gandhi, leader of the passive re sistance movement of India against Great Britain. No other man com mands such implicit obedience and loyal, fanatical devotion from his followers. Kngland is handling Gandhi very, very cautiously and Mahat ma doesn't like it. Hi s going back to India to start the fight all over again. Indian independence is a certainty some day and Gandhi is bringing it much closer than Eng land likes to see. * * * There was a rumor around Wed nesday that the local national guard and reserve officers corps of the United States army had been warned to hold themselves in readiness for instant mobilization. Wonder if the communists are get ting together or maybe a Jap stepped on an American’s toe. Funny, what a thrill an absolute ly unfounded rumor like that gives you. Free Dale Orgy Promoted Today by Colonial Theater Every card sent out by the Co lonial in the unique stunt yester day has a duplicate, and a lot of free tickets will go to waste un less the holders get busy on the phone, it was stated by Russell Brown, Colonial manager. One ticket was mailed to each man’s and woman's house, and all that is necessary to do to get free passes is for the holder of the men’s tickets to call the women’s houses until he finds the corre sponding ticket. Then both can come to the show today free. The feature picture for which the tickets are good is “Daybreak” with Ramon Novarro as star, it is announced. Tickets are good for today only. The Heart Bomb Of Aunt Eppie Dear Aunt Eppie: I have a couple of pet goldfish that I keep in a bowl at my home. Their names are Thomas and Thomasina. They have been get ting along all right until about a week ago when Thomasina just up and gave Thomas the ozone. What can the trouble be ? Desperately, Sassy Daisyfield. Dear Sassy: (what a name) Maybe some of your sister dig gers have designs on the gold in Thomas and have been giving him the BIG EYE. Maybe the trouble is from the other angle, perhaps Thomasina has been giving the cat the once over and his decided that she doesn’t give a whiffinpooffle for Thomas. So-long, Sassy, Aunt Eppie. if-=-m Classified Advertisements Kate* Payable in Advance 10c a line for first insertion; 5c a line for each additional insertion.

Ya no I couldn’t get to skool by de time dey sez you otta be rej isstered, but I walks up to a little place wot says Registrar on de door and sticks a rod under de gents sehnozzle and he kicked in okay. Pop, you otter see de sissy games dey play out here. Dey calls one of dem “Football." One mob gets a ball and tries to get it past de udder mob and over a line marked on de udder end of de field. Den de udder mob tries to muscle in and hijack the ball. Ya know, like Tony Moron tried to do with our beer truck dat time we bombed bis joint. If any of dese guys had any sense they'd hire a couple gor illas and rub out de whole mob. j As it is, dey don’t use nuttin’ not ' even brass knucks. Geez, Pop, why dontcha lemme come back and woik wid yer mob [ in Chi. Ya no I can handle a rod as good as any of dem mugs ya pay dough to. Times is hard, and ya oughta keep de dough in de family. No use hiring a flock of guys when I could do de work just as good. Say, Pop, I got a racket out here wot looks good. I have been shak in down de managers for a cut on de games, but it don’t amount to more dan a coupla grand a week. I could do better back home. I gotta go now.

REVIEW ED By GEORGE ROOT The effect of Miss Roberts’ latest book is that of a very placid, unconsequential dream that twists and untwists itself ineffectively and yet with a most graceful, del icate and charming manner. It has movement that is fog-like in character and drifts from a tend ency towards traditional realism in the first of the book to merely abstract occurrence. “A Buried Treasure” deals with a middle-aged married couple who discover on one of their farming acres a buried kettle containing some two thousand dollars and two pearls. Quite prosaic, to be sure, but if the reader can control himself at that point and resist an impulse to toss the book across the room he will find, in the fol lowing pages, the subtle charm, the gentle “pastoral” continuity that marks the book. The best cember 7, at 8 o’clock in room 103 Deady. Prof. A. R. Sweetser w'ill read a paper, “What in a Name, or Pioneer Botanists of the Pacific Northwest.” Order of the O will meet tonight at 6 o’clock at the Kappa Sigma | house. All football men are in ! vited. of the book has to do with the unnatural results that the money has upon the couple and the inter related activity of the other char acters who weave in and out as the story sweeps on to a close that seems to the reader to be more a leaving of the story than an ending. Miss Roberts’ style is the selling quality of her book. It is rich in lyrical feeling and yet poetically complacent. “The small graveyard reached in irregular curves and angles across a lightly sunken hilltop. The place was grown over with stunted crab trees and thorns, and a grapevine hung in a long festoon from the top of an elm. The weather had plucked little inden tations unevenly over the stones so that the letters cut there were hard to decipher, for the carvings fainted away continually into the more mystical suggestions put there by the elements. Some crows were making soft, hoarse cries on a farther hill, and now and then the sound took on the quality of a murmured human speech that followed a low shrill outcry, all being subdued.” Otherwise than its beautiful handling the story has little to offer. One has the feeling that it is a somewhat intangible back ground without a central move ment strong enough to justify its presence. lllllIi:ill!lllllllll!llt!II!!lll!riIUUUIIir I SEA FOOD DELUXE j Fish — Oysters — Crabs • | Luncheon 35c—11 to 3 Dinner 75c—5 to 9 MARINE GROTTO (Under new management of Carl Muller) ACROSS FROM EUGENE HOSPITAL !:;ilin:lllll!ll!lin!llllll!!ll!!linililll!inn!]||inilllllll!lllllllllllllll!lli;llllllllll!l'll!ll!llll!llll!ii;ill|]iillll!lllllllll!llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!l!llllllllllllllllll!llll!nilll!!lll!!lllllllllllllllll!!!>ln€ Get the Classified Habit Looking for a place to live?
