A., brings to an end a life of unusual service to thousands of young men and women on this campus and in other communities. In her position she found jobs for many students who with out them would have been unable to continue their education. Those who knew her and who have been helped by her will long honor her memory. Mrs. Donnelly was a woman who quietly, conscientiously, and efficiently went about playing her part in this hurrying, scurry ing world of ours. She was neither famous nor noted; but her place in the hearts of her many friends will not soon be dis lodged. Political Aspirants Organize TJ EPUBLICANS of the community between the ages of 20 and 35 years may further their political ambitions and work for the cause of their party by joining the Young Republicans, a local group affiliated with a ration-wide organization of younger Republican voters. » The Eugene Young Republicans met early this week and be sides preparing for permanent organization adopted as principles and aims: 1. To encourage eligible voters to register in ample time to cast their ballots in primary and general elections. 2. To create and foster interest among young people in po litical activity and to encourage active participation in cam paigns. 3. To encourage competent persons to seek political office. 4. To promote party politics and to encourage intelligent participation in city and county government. The first three points the group makes are excellent ones indeed. Competent persons are needed for public office. Voters should register in ample time to vote at elections. Young people should be interested in political activity and engaged enthusi astically in the campaigns. But why train young people to vote on old established party lines that have no real regard for vital issues? Are the Young Republicans going to support the Hawley Smoot tariff, a Republican measure? Are they going to vote to keep the government away from public ownership of indus tries? Are they in favor of a government dole to the unem ployed? Would they support a move toward cancellation of war debts and reparations? Or is the organization pledging support to Hoover or some other Republican on whatever platform they choose to run ? In spite of all their laudable ideas, we don’t expect much in the way of social and political reform from Eugene’s Young Republicans. Definite affiliation with a party will certainly hamper their “intelligent participation in city and county gov ernment” affairs.

CHAPTER II "Should She Ask Him In?” 1. When getting on a street-car, the lady precedes the gentleman. This is so she can get safely by the conductor, swear she never saw her escort when he is asked for the. two fares, and thus save a nickel. When alighting from a car, bus, brake-rods or box-car, the gentleman descends first, so the lady will have something soft to land on after the motorman or brakeman throws her off. 2: If the gentleman is right handed, he should sit on the lady’s left at dinner, so he can steal her dessert more readily. Jabbing the hand with a fork is a sure way of distracting her attention. 3. Smoking of pipes during the salad is taboo excepting at Sigma Nil or Phi Delt dinners. 4. In walking down the street, the gentleman is on the outside so he will not be bothered by peo ple dumping garbage out of second story windows. 5. A true gentleman never takes a drink except when he can get it. “DIDST HEAR THE ONE ABOUT THE FROSH THAT HAD THE SEVEN-YEAR ITCH, AND PLASTERED HIMELF WITH SCRATCH PAPER. * * * TODAY’S DEMENTED DITTY I’ve left my gal tor keeps this tinio, It is an awful note, She said she thought a ehukker Was an outboard motor-boat. * * * NO, ANNIE, HOOVER'S MOR ATORIUM IS NOT AN UNDER TAKING PARLOR.

Pulido, Saslavsky Are Given Theatre Awards To a Filipino student of the Uni versity, Maximo Pulido, junior in journalism, goes the pass for the Colonial theatre for handing in the most stories for the Emerald dur ing the week ending Saturday, January 23. Pulido had a total of 12 stories. Beth Bede, Genevieve Dunlop, J. A. Newton, and Carroll Pawson ran close with 11 stories to their credit.

FAMOUS EXPLORER TO GIVE LECTURE HERE (Continued from T'age One) have perished beneath the ice, how the ship came up and anchored in a sea of ice, 450 miles from the pole, to allow her men to explore in small boats, the “Spitzbergen secret,” an emergency rescue pre caution taken by Wilkins and known only to himself and hi3 brave friends. The visit of Wilkins has double significance for Oregon students, inasmuch as he has explored much of the country which the Oregon summer cruise into the interior of Afeska will traverse next summer.

By Evan Charteris. Harpers & Bros. * By BOB RIDDELL Though he lived to be an octog arian, Mr. Gosse never joined the ranks of the best-sellers. As the inevitable Mr. Shaw puts it, he “loved literature for its own sake, and did things that only scholars appreciate.’’ That he spent sixty of his years an intimate of as cele brated a company of literary men as any period in English history can claim, and that at the age of thirty he ha«d already established himself as an authoritative critic of mature judgment, compensate for his comparative obscurity. Surely for anyone who has lived in that hero-worshipping book of Bos well's or the indiscretions of Mr. Pepys this volume will prove an indispensable reflection of the lit erary history of the last half cen tury. For Gosse was an inveterate writer, and a glance at the names of any of his intimate correspond ents reads like a random page from a literary “Who’s Who.” For the citizens of our remote corners, Gosse presents an amusing, hu man picture of those literary gods we are so apt to place on a pedes tal. They lose nothing by being shown to us in the flesh. His main interest, important be cause at the time it was singular, was an interest in Scandinavian culture, and on this subject he was the undisputed British author ity. To the unlettered reader it will be a trifle embarrassing to learn for the first time that it was Gosse who introduced Ibsen to the English speaking world, and that he performed nearly the same serv ice for the Norwegian dramatist Bjornesen. Gosse, nurtured in the midst of stifling Puritanism, singular even for those stiff times, raised him self above it. The letters illustrate this growth with remarkable clar ity; beginning inauspiciously, they end on a high note, while Gosse still healthy and good-humored, is in the mellowest and most kindly old age. Here is literary London stretched before you, invitingly, and a kind old man to guide you. Saving ► By Spending IT was a favorite expression of Theophrastus that time was the most valuable thing that a person could spend. One can easily prove the soundness of this logic. Every minute: spent in reading advertise ments in this paper multiplies itself manifold in the time saved in shopping. Advertisements eliminate lost motion. They save ning your legs off trying to find some particulai aiticlc at the price you want to pay. They bring the shops to your breakfast table, where you may review and select before starting out. You may find available time in your classrooms to determine the best buys among the Eugene merchants. Advertisements are a straight line between demand and supply, between spending and saving, between purse and purchase. They save your shopping time and conserve your household money. They enable you to get more for your dollar. So read the advertisements. Read them every day. Far from being a task, you will find it an interesting pastime. It will bring you up to the minute on what’s what in everything that concerns you or your friends. Be a man of tomorrow by reading the advertising columns of the Oregon Daily Emerald
