AWS Conference To Be Postponed The A. W. S. vocational confer ence, originally scheduled for Feb ruary 14-16, is to be postponed until the first of spring term, ac cording to a decision made at an A. W. S. council meeting yester day. The conference, which will con sist of round-table discussions and general speeches made by women outstanding in different fields of work, ha.s been postponed because many of the desired speakers r could not attend at original date. “ Thai certainly is the best-looking collar Fee seen in a. long time.” • Winchell’s prognosticating stooge while getting a new slant on life and what the well dressed mar. is wearing, recommends for your wardrobe Arrow shirts, Arrow collars, Arrow underwear, and Arrow cravats.

ARROW SANtpairtO S*«UHK Look 10c lhii Libel ERIC MERftELL, THE ARROW SHIRT STORE IX EUGENE Sally Allen Says It’s Temperance Talk: Here It Is I (Editor’s note: The following ! article was contributed by Sally Elliot Allen, who has estab lished a reputation among writ ing groups in the city. She is an honorary member of Theta Sigma l’hi.) Frankly, this is a Temperance Talk. About the Demon Rum. There is Advice in it. There might even be something akin to Moral izing, that cardinal sin of the mid Victorians. So let the reading public be warned. These same mid-Victorians, be ing responsible for national pro hibition, have been held respon sible for the excesses and abuses of the last fifteen years in con nection with the consumption of alcoholic beverages. That there have always been excesses and abuses in connection with that consumption has been somewhat ignored, and it rests fairly now upon those who desired and brought about repeal to demon strate whether these will be more ar less under the repeal era. So it is highly important if this country is really to enter, as is hoped, upon a period of "enlight ened and rational drinking,” that certain facts be assimilated. Al cohol is a habit-forming drug and the physiological and psychologi cal effects of it can be learned; as can the facts of the difficul ties, in all countries and all times, that accompany the regulation of its sale, and the part that com mercial interests play in this. If we have learned these facts, and are all trained in the ticklish technic of drinking only for the joy of the palate and mild stimu lation, then all is well and the dew’s on the thorn. If not, then the king of France with 50,000 men may have to march again up the same long, steep and painful hill of public opinion that had once brought about effective prohibition in many states (including Oregon) and many communities, and that made the nation blunder into a too-precipitate “noble experi ment.” (If you are at all inter ested in how quaint, alien and comic seem the tragedies and self sacrifices of the old era to a gen eration who is not—as yet—ac quainted with them, read Honore WiUsie’s “Tiger, Tiger.”) Another curious truth, pleasing or unpalatable, according to one’s point of view, is that most men, especially young men, have a simp'e-minded way of following rather unquesticningly certain im j pulses such as those toward “wine, ■women and song," (how neglected, alas, song seems to be!) unless | womenfolk effectively call their | attention to more desirable desid | erata. So it is especially to what j would once Jiave called “The Youthful Female,” that it is here pointed out that she will now have to choose to drift with the tide and devote her energies to being “a good scout,” or else really to become “enlightened” and “ra tional”—in other words, find out the facts and use her head. A great deal would seem to depend upon her decision. At any rate, whatever the harvest be, the ! much - criticised mid- Victorians can't be blamed for it this time!
