Rhame Tells Hardships Of ChinaWomen Wife Frequently Supplants Horse in Fields Betty Rhame Gives Talk at Meel Of World Fellowship Group In Y. VV. Cottage It's no fun being poor in China If you are a poor man's wife you get the children off to school in the morning, work in the fields all day, usually supplanting the horse and come back at night to do the house-work, the cooking, sewing, weaving, and the canning. Such a picture of woman's place in Old China was painted of Shanghai, China, by Betty Rhame, for mem bers of the World Fellowship group of the Y. W. last night. The Chinese woman's troubles do not end there. Before her mar riage she has no idea whom she is to marry. On the day of her wedding she is dressed in a red dress and bundled off to the groom's house in an enclosed car riage, sometimes so tightly en closed that the poor bride is dead when she arrives at her new home. After the wedding she worships her husband, but updn his death she is given one good chance to wail, and then must never weep again. As a young woman she is just a wife; when she becomes old she is treated with reverence. If she is a fisherman's wife the Chinese woman is in a worse posi tion. She lives on an 18 by 20 sam-pan with the family and does all the work, even the fishing. Miss Rhame believes there is a law which prevents her from having shore-leave. Conditions in Shang hai are not quite so bad, the speak er says. The modern Chinese wo man there has become western ized, goes in for politics, medicine, and education, and there is even a divorce once in a while. Although girls sometimes seek, through their charms, higher marks than they deserve, the meet with little success.—Prof. H. A. Watt.

Now A Job for Every Relative and Fun for All! iPHAMTOM PRESIDENT GEORGE M. CONAN - dinette COLBERT WHO, ME ? Two solid reels of pure fun! Postman Secures Unsealed Letter; Author Unknown Which one of the many Eds on the campus wrote a ten-page let ter home to his dad last Wednes day and mentioned that he had been in the infirmary for the past three days with a bad cold? While on his daily rounds, the postman found an unstamped, un addressed, unsealed letter in one of the University mail boxes. Peek ing inside, he read the mention of the writer's being in the infirmary and that his name was Ed, so the letter was taken to the “hospital” in hope that Ed might be identi fied from the records. No one by that name with a bad cold has been near the infirmary as far as can be determined from any of the records, doctors or nurses. Ed’s lettor is waiting for him at the Emerald office, and will be given to him if he will call. AWS Has Talk on Home Economics The part played by home 'eco nomics in the education of women was clearly brought out by Miss Ava B. Milam, dean and director of home economics of the Oregon State system of higher education, in a talk before the A. W. S. vo cational conference at 4 o’clock yesterday in Gerlinger hall. Home economics, according to Miss Milam, is extremely impor tant to every woman, whether she intends to go into the commercial world or not. She stated that she had never seen anyone who had taken a course in home economics in college, who had not found it very helpful in later life. There are many fields of work open to women who take home j economics, according to Miss Mi-1 lam. She gave the possibilities of | fered in teaching, research, spe cialized lines, journalism, radio, diatetics, and decorating, and spoke of the importance of home economics to the woman who plans to .make a home. “Home economics is the appli cation of science and art to the ■ home,” concluded Miss Milam. “It ’ is continually changing, and ad vancing. Women are beginning to give more consideration to the fact that they are women, and1 that nine chances out of ten they are to be homemakers.” TEACHERS’ PAY WILL PROBABLY TAKE CUTS (Continued from Page One) "would put Oregon 33rd, with only Mississippi below us, and I trust, gentlemen, you don’t want to have us marking time next to one of the most illiterate states in the union.” Neuberger \vas assisted by Ray mond (Butch) Morse and the writer in contacting various legis lators and in shaping the plans for calling attention of the legisla i ture to the petitions signed by "An afternoon O) happiness...

PETITION SEEKS NO FUR THER FACULTY PAY CUT (Continued from Page One) on the subject. Work of drawing the petitions was started at 10:4,7 yesterday morning; by noon the signatures were affixed. At Salem the committee plan ned to present the statement to the house ways and means com mittee, the ways and means sub-1 committee on higher education, the speaker of the house, and to Governor Meier. The procedure is purely a stu dent enterprise and is entirely in dependent of faculty action or ad vice, the committee said. Case Is Stated Briefly, the petition, which is re printed elsewhere on the page, is a request to the state legislature not to impair the intellectual de velopment of students in Oregon, by making faculty salaries so low that first-grade instructors will be unable to remain in the state. It points out that the students are entirely willing to let higher edu cation take its share of a budget cut, but suggests that other state deparments take corresponding decreases. CINEMA Schnozzle is coming again to the Colonial in a fancy bit of tom foolery tonight., “The Phantom President." This is the first and last movie George M. Cohan ever made. He doesn’t like Hollywood, echoes Kauffman with a stentor ious "gawfdawful." Nevertheless, his picture is good entertainment, never serious, never weighty, and never slow, and on its way it takes a tremendous crack at these grand benighted states of Ameri ca and their political horseplay. In this magic story of a medi cine show barker who becomes president we, the reader public, ave shown the complete process of a thorough-going duping, with all, the time-worn accessories, from the hullabaloo of a national conven tion to the torchlight procession. Highly satirical, it contains that bitter grain of truth which gives dramatic entertainment relativity. Schnozzle is his funniest ever quite funnier than the much-head lined Cohan, and the story is wise cracking, wise, and rapid. * * * As a rather morbid study in post-war neuroticism, “Strange Interlude," now playing at the Mc Donald, is more valuable than as All Northland SKIES SKIE POLES SKIE HARNESS at 1-3 OFF of Original Price Hendershott’s 770 Willamette Phone 151 I a cinema. There is no reason at ! this time for retrenching our be j lief that photographed stage plays J do not make good cinema. The i reason is obvious - cinema should I take advantage of the wide scope of effects at its command; stage plays are necessarily contained in time and space. There were con cessions made to this fact in the re-write on O’Neill's play, but they were rather obvious: crew races, a circling aeroplane, faked ocean shots. Norma Shearer does as well as could be expected with the part of Nina, and Clark Gable was less wooden than usual as the humani tarian doctor. There were actors I would have liked better in the roles, but after all Hollywood seems to prefer Shearer on the one hand and Gable on the other, and bringing them together must have been their extreme gesture.

PAIR I ILLUSION: The stage is all set for target practice. The magician lifts his bow and aims an arrow at the bull’s-eye. His lovely assistant then steps in front of the target and he shoots the arrow—apparently through her—and it fixes itself in the very center of the bull's-eye! And she smiles through it all while the audience gasps. EXPLANATION: The arrow which the marksman “shoots through" his assistant simply folds up into the crossbow! The arrow which is actually embedded in the target is shot by the girl herself from a belt concealed under her dress. She releases a little spring, the arrow unfolds, and shoots straight into the bull’s-eye! It is all done in a flash! So quickly the eye cannot detect the girl's movements! To heighten the impression that the ar row has gone right through, the girl releases a ribbon from the front of her dress—the continuation, appar ently, of the ribbon attached to the arrow in the target. It’s fun to be fooled ... it’s more fun to KNOW Like to see through tricks? Then let’s look at another... the illusion in ciga rette advertising called “Cigarettes and Your Throat.” 1 he audience is told that by certain magic processes tobacco can be made as soothing as cough medicine. i explanation: The easiest cigarette L on your throat is the cigarette that is A made from the choicest ripe tobaccos. Cheap, raw tobaccos are, as you would xn naturally expect, harsh in their effects upon the throat. If you have to consider your throat, the quality of the tobacco in your cigarette is important. It is a fact/ well known by leaf tobacco experts, that Camels are made from finer, MORE EXPENSIVE tobaccos than any other popular brand. Camels are as non-irritating as a ciga rette can be because Camels use choice, ripe, tobaccos. And because of the matchless blend ing of these costlier tobaccos Camels have a rich bouquet and aroma... a l cool, delicious flavor.
