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.

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.”

In your OLD home you can
add NEW comfort . . . save fuel
If your house was built be
fore modern insulation was
available, it can be easily
made to give new comfort
and save considerable fuel.
It‘is through the roof that
most heat is lost. By apply
ing a thick warm blanket of
Balsam-Wool to the attic
floor or between the roof
rafters needless heat loss is
prevented.
You will find a surprising
saving in fuel; the house will
be easier to heat in the cold
est weather; the upstairs
rooms will be more comfort
able during hot summer days
and nights.

PETITION SEEKS NO FUR

(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.

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.
