Medic Chosen
To Represent
U.S. In Spain
Graduate Wins Praise of
Ambassador Claudell
Will Attend International Medical
Congress at Madrid in June;
Career Distinguished
Commander Julius F. Neuber
ger, U. S. N„ one of the highest
ranking naval officers ever to at
tend the University, and a gradu
ate of the medical school class of
1913, has been signally honored,
according to word received here
yesterday.
Commander Neuberger, who
spoke at the International Medical
congress at Paris in the autumn,
received a congratulatory message
from Ambassador Claudell, saying
that the congress had asked him
to thank Commander Neuberger
for the outstanding part he played
at the last meeting of the group.
Claudell also praised Neuberger
on his own behalf.
Largely as the result of his not
able work at Paris, Commander
Neuberger has been asked to
represent the United States gov
ernment at this year's Interna
tional Medical congress, to be
held at Madrid, Spain, from June
5 to 11, inclusive. He was re
quested to do so by C. E. Riggs,
surgeon-general of the United
States navy.
Ever since his graduation 20
years ago, Commander Neuberger
has attracted considerable atten
tion by his outstanding feats in
medicine and naval affairs. He
was prominent in the world war,
was decorated and commanded
the U. S. S. Wright for a time.
One of the foremost surgeons of
the east, his feats with the scalpel
have been widely publicized by
leading newspapers of the nation.
Commander Neuberger is a bro
ther of Isaac Neuberger of 241
North 26th street, Portland. His
nephew, Richard Neuberger, is
editor of the Emerald here.
Pianist Presents
Varied Group of
Musical Numbers
Since Catherine Firebaugh, con
tralto, who was to assist in last
night’s student recital, was unable
to appear, Betty Evanson, pianist,
carried on the program alone. Miss
Evanson shows unusual strength
for a young woman in her playing.
Brilliant and varied, Chopin's
“Mazurka in F-sharp minor” pos
sessed many innovations which
added interest to the number. Bee
thoven’s “Andante Tavori,” al
though keeping the andante tempo,
modulated in tone quality from
pounding crescendos to variances
in pianissimo.
Typical of Schumann’s beautiful
but often erratic style, “Soaring”
Was a spirited interlude in the pro
gram. Light and winsome, Al
beniz’s “Cadiz” contrasted to the
strong, passionate “Melodie” by
Rachmaninoff. MacDowell’s “Pol
onaise,” a modern number conclud
ed the program.
George Hopkins announced that
there would be student recitals ev
ery Tuesday until the end of the
term with probably others on Mon
days and Thursdays.

policy would bring about the im
mediate recognition of Russia, add
ing that in case of conflict it would
be far cheaper for the United
States to subsidize Russia, so that
the latter might fight successfully
rather than to be drawn into the
conflict herself.
In reply to a question regarding
Japan's relations with the League
of Nations, Dr. Noble stated that
Japanese withdrawal would place
her in complete diplomatic isola
tion. Nonetheless, Japan m^y
withdraw since the military clique
is convinced of its invincibility,
while her greatest potential ene
mies, Russia and the United States,
do not belong to the league and are
not bound by its resolutions.
Unquestionably, said Professor
Noble, should Japan withdraw
from the league she should retain
the Caroline and Marshall island
groups. Short of war the powers
would be unable to dislodge Japan.
Nothing less than a combination
of the British and American na
vies could act successfully, and
such a combination would imply
the existence of a world war—not
a pleasant prospect.
Professor Noble emphasized that
this was the picture as it appears
now. He urged observers to real
ize, however, that in 1900 all well
informed persons were expecting
an Anglo-French and Anglo-Rus
sian war in the not distant future.
When the great war came "England
was sided with Russia and France
against Germany. He pointed out,
therefore, if war can be averted for
the next few yeq^-s a new combin
ation very possibly may arise
which would draw the United
States and Japan together for joint
action.

“Bird of Paradise,” the Colonial’s
current snare-all, is Dolores Del
Rio’s picture. The beautiful lady
returned from retirement to make
this picture of the islands and a
vengeful crater-god, and having
sold herself plenty as the grass
skirted Venus, stopped making pic
tures again. One of Hollywood’s
unexplainables.
The story of the native princess
of rare beauty and the white man
of adventurous soul is not so new,
and not so plausible. It doesn’t
need to be. The only time you're
aware of its lack of authenticity is
when Miss Del Rio is not on the
screen. She’s an entrancing little
southsea siren. An occasional pas
sage between the virile Mr. Mc
Crea and his love are quite good.
Perhaps the best would be voted
the moonlight bathing scene, as
moonlight bathing should be.
The disastrous ending is too fa

feeds the appetite of the angry
god the audience is merely content
ed: that is as such things should
be. As a matter of fact, “Bird of

be—quite contenting, taken all in

ALBANY COLLEGE, Albany, j
Keb. 7—(Special > - Albany college,
has the largest student body en-!
rollment in the history of the |
school, it is announced by the
president’s office.
The complete registration, in-1
eluding all outside courses, will be
over 300 students, according to
the registrar’s office. Registra
tions for the second semester are
still coming in to the college
office. Two hundred and four
students, exclusive of extension,
music and art courses, are in at
tendance.
Names of students enrolled in
the art and music courses will
not be included in the student di
rectory until the end of the school
year, so no definite figures are
available at present.
Albany college is one of the few
schools in the state which operates
under a two - semester system;
most of Oregon’s higher educa
tional institutions use the three
quarter system. Albany’s method
provides a special advantage to
students graduating from high
schools in January.
Clark Writes for
History Magazine
“Why History Needs to be Re
written” is the title of an article
by Professor R. C. Clark of the
history department, in the last is
sue of the “Oregon Historical
Quarterly.”
In his article, Professor Clark
points out that the history books
that were considered authentic 30
years ago are being placed aside
due to the more accurate findings
of modern historians. Histories
such as those written by George
Bancroft, Barnes, Montgomery,
Swinton and Meyer are not longer
deemed trustworthy as to fact and
for interpretation.
History is made largely from
the findings in archives of the
government and private letters of
public officers. It is often 20 or
30 years before these documents
are brought to light. It is for this
reason that many books become
out of date.
Professor Clark has written
many articles on history and is
the author of a book entitled, “A
History of the Willamette Valley.”

Yak, Scot Cattle Cross-Bred;
White Tells Novel Experiment
By HAZLE CORRIGAN
Asiatic Yak and Scotch Gallo
way cattle have been crossed in an
endeavor to create an animal
which would be fitted for the
North-Alaskan grass ranges in an
experiment described by W. T.
White, animal husbandman in
charge of livestock breeding for
the U. S. department of agricul
ture in Alaska for the past IS
years and now graduate student
on the campus.
The yak is a member of the
bison family and is particularly
adaptable to severe climatic con
ditions. “The Galloway," White
said, “is known for its hardiness,
occasioned by its long thick coat
of hair and under fur. It is a
beef breed remarkable for its j
hardiness and the high butterfatj
of its milk. It also possesses
tenacity of life and rust-ling abil
ity under severe conditions, which
make it of value in Alaska."
The experiment which White
supervised was the first of its
kind to be attempted. Two or
three others are now being con
ducted, one of importance being
that conducted by the biological
laboratories in Moscow and
another by the Canadian govern
ment.
“There are a number of diffi
culties surrounding the success of
these experiments, chief among
these being sterility of the males
when the cattle and bison families
are crossed.
“Perhaps the most important
experiment attempted by the de
partment of agriculture in Alaska
was an attempt to create an Alas
kan breed of dairy cattle. In mak
ing the attempt, we used the
Scotch Galloway cattle to cross
with milking Holsteins. We have
now a number of fourth genera
tion cows that are giving more
milk and more butterfat than
would the original Holsteins. They
possess a reasonable amount Of
hardiness to stand the climatic
conditions of Alaska."
The problem was not only to get
the hardiness of the Galloway on
to the Holstein, but also to in
crease t}ie fat content of the milk
of the Holsteins.
This dairy-cow experiment has
been carried on for ro years and
is still being continued. The cost
so far has exceeded $90,000. The
office of experiment stations U. S.
D. A. has spent more than a mil
lion and a half in experimental
work in Alaska.
In an attempt to get a hardier
strain of sheep for tho coastal
range of Alaska, an experiment,
which has proved partially suc
cessful, has been conducted by in
reducing a hardy Lincoln type and
crossing with Cotswold. The prob
lem in this experiment has been
to guard against open fleece
which fails to protect the animal
from climatic conditions.
White is taking special work at
the University preparatory to tak
ing his master's degree in agri
culture at Oregon State college.
He is a graduate of Kansas State
Agricultural college.
He has recently submitted man
uscripts for bulletins, which have
been approved by the department
of agriculture for printing when
there are funds available, entitled,
“A Summary of 15 Years of
Cross-bred Galloway - Holsteins,”
“Weather and Agriculture in
Alaska," and “The Breeding of
Yak in Alaska.”
Freshmen at Lynchburg college,
Virginia, have chosen as their mot
to, “Green things must grow.”

As the University was providing
for the cleaning of all equipment
used in gym classes by students
without charge, it was impossible
for attendants to tell as they were
taking equipment from baskets
whether it had been soiled in reg

Well, I can’t tell you much of anything
about what is iji Chesterfields
BUT I smoke a good deal, and I noticed that
they said that Chesterfield Cigarettes were
milder and tasted better; so 1 smoked a package
or two and found it to be true.
I also noticed that the cigarettes were well-filled,-,
seemed to be the right length and the right circum
ference, and burned uniformly — not up one side
and down the other.
I liked the aroma — very pleasing. 1 liked the
appearance of the cigarette — the paper, dead
white. The package rather appealed to me.
I don’t know exactly what it is, but I just like
’em. It’s about the only luxury that I enjoy; so l
think it’s all right for me to huve a good cigarette,
^and I believe Chesterfield is just about the best.
