Work Discussed
Answering questions and letters
on education will be features of
the lecture "Technique by Which
Our Work with Beginners Is Ac
complished," given by Dr. B. W.
DeBusk, University professor of
education, in his second radio talk
of the series over KOAC, Tuesday
evening January 15, at 8:45.
Last Tuesday night, Dr. DeBusk
discussed "The Development of the
Summer Session Reading Clinic for
Children,” in which he said that
the clinics were begun in 1928 with
a group of 15 children who could
not read or who read poorly. “We
had to dig up the 15 children for
the first clinic,” he said. At the
end of the summer session, the Eu
gene Kiwanis club contributed $100
to continue the clinic through the
post session, as well as a $25 con
tribution from the parents of the
children.
Following the first clinic, appli
cations came in increasing num
bers, so that by 1931, the limit was
placed at 100, and reduced to 25
in 1934. Dr. DeBusk said that the
1934 enrollment was actually about
30, due to the admission of a few
needy children,
"It is our policy now to take
only those children who need spe
cific training in reading, spelling
and arithmetic," he said.
The courses for teachers and
supervisors atending the sessions
include a course in psychology, one
in remedial procedure, and prac
tice teaching with the cases in the
clinic.
The 1934 session drew children
from such distances as southern
California, northern Washington,
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Hono
lulu. Teachers and supervisors
came fron# Illinois, Texas, North
Dakota, and Hawaii.

Honolulu Station
HONOLULU, Jan. 11.—(AP) —
Amelia Earhart Putnam, only wo
man to fly alone across the Atlan
tic, challenged the Pacific tonight,
taking off on a projected 2,400
mile ocean flight to California—a
stretch never flown "solo” by any
flier.
Undaunted by a heavy downpour
of rain that made Wheeler field
heavy with mud, Miss Earhart took
off at 4:4.0 p. m. (10:15 p. m., east
ern standard time), forced her
heavily loaded plane upward and
streaked out directly toward Oak
land.
Flying almost on the heels of a
storm, Miss Earhart appeared to
be heading for clearer skies. Naval
weather reports said conditions
were clearing on her route. Un
settled weather prevailed off the
northern California coast, however.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11.—
(AP) — Globe Wireless reported
here tonight its Hawaii station had
picked up the radio call letters of
Amelia Earhart Putnam’3 trans
pacific plane and that the noted
oviatric could be heard speaking
to station KGU of Honolulu.
Belter Emerald Drive
Announced at Meeting
A drive for a better Emerald
with greater reader interest was
initiated at a meeting of the staff
held yesterday in the Journalism
building.
Charles M. Hulten, journalism
instructor, and Bill Phipps, editor
in chief, both stressed the fact
tnat names are news and that it
is the purpose of a newspaper to
give readers what they want.
Bob Lucas, new managing edi- j
tor, in a vigorous pep talk stressed
the need of cooperation on the
part of the reporters, copy read
ers, and proof readers, in making
the Emerald a success instead of
leaving all the work to a few peo
ple.
Malcolm Bauer, retiring manag
ing editor, thanked the staff for
their work on the Emerald last
term and urged them to cooperate
in the future.
To encourage better work by re
porters, various prizes are being
offered. Quality as well as quan
tity will be stressed. There will be
a prize of $5 for the best news
story of the term.
Theater passes will be given for
the week’s best news story, head
line sports story, and proofread
paper. They will also be given for
the largest number of personal
items turned in and published each
week, the most news stories pub
lished, the most headlines written,
and the most lips over five that
are turned in.
In order to remind the staff to
play up names in stories, posters
have been placed on the walls of
the news room.
Today’s News
(Continued from Pane One)
about the past of the brides, it is
said, the bridegrooms demanding
only that they be healthy, romantic
and willing to work on the land.
A sidelight on the economic con
siderations involved is the fact that
the trade in brides has had the ef
fect of “dumping” on the south
Serbia market, with the result the
price of wives has fallen so rapidly
that daughters, instead of repre
senting potential wealth to their
parents, often prove to be a bur
den.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 -(AID
Authoritative indications that con
gress will be asked for stiff regu
lation of holding companies, bar
ring many rate-increasing prac
tices, today dominated a series of
developments in the public utilities
field.
President Roosevelt's power pol
icy committee drafted a bil to for
bid, among other things, the pyr
amiding of holding companies, the
assessment by such concerns of
management fees from operating
companies, inflationary write-ups
of values, the appliance of pressure
upon operating companies to in
crease returns on stocks.
STRPOOLING YOl'TH OIKS
NEW YORK, Jan. 11. (AP)
Stanley Walker. 12 the boy who
had one chance in a million died
today of the streptococcus infec
tion he had fought for more than
a month.
His millionth chance depended,
physicians said, on obtaining the
blood of one of the 11 persons in
the city who had recovered from
the malady.
A public appeal was made for a
donor. Police radio cars searched
the city for one of the eleven.
Newspapers cooperated in the
search.
Finally, on December 13, Leon
Zaskevieh, a 30-year-old fur sales
man, riding home on a bus, read
of the case in a newspaper. He

himself had recovered from the
disease. He left the bus and noti-:
fied the hospital of his willingness
to aid the boy.
His blood was found satisfac
tory. That night a transfusion was
made and two days later a second
was administered. The boy rallied
and physicians were hopeful he
might recover.
It looked as if Stanley might get
that one-in-a-million chance. He
continued to hold his own for the
next few weeks, but yesterday he
began to fail. He died in an oxy
gen tent.

Stellar Explosion
Creates New Star
A stellar catastrophe has ere- j
ated a new star, Nova Herculis. |
which can be seen in the early
evening in the northwestern sky
below Vega.
The most recent addition to the
realm of star gazers and astrono
mers is visible to the naked eye
and has surprised them by con
tinuing to explode and increas-1
ing its magnitude. Early plates'
of the star showed it to be of the
fifteenth magnitude but an ex
plosive outburst caused its bril
liance to increase 100.000 times in
less than a month to the third
magnitude. From there its in
crease has continued until it may
be exceeded in brightness by only
eight stars, one of which is Vega.
The new star was discovered by
J. B. M. Prentice, British meteor
observer. Observations from the
Yerkes observatory show that the
star is still expanding, with the
outer atmospheric shell moving
outward at the rate of 162 miles
every second.
Professor J. H. Pruett, who was
formerly a professor at the Uni
versity and who is interested in
astronomy, gives directions on
finding Nova Herculis. "Look at
the northwestern sky early in the
evening,” says Professor Pruett.
"Only one brilliant star may be
seen in that region and that is
Vega. The new star is the first
star to be seen just at the right of
Vega, but it is rather inconspicu
ous beside the brilliant Vega.”
S. S. Smith Initiates
Word-a-Day Plan
S. Stephenson Smith, associate
professor of English. believes that
this campus is quite interested in
vocabulary building. Last term
about twenty University students
and a dozen scholars, teachers, anu
alumni from all over the state
asked him for copies of the Wins
ton word-a-day booklet for learn
ing new words. This pamphlet is
free and is being used in Professor
Smith’s English composition class
at 9 a. m. Monday, Wednesdays,
and Fridays.
The word-a-day system is an
automatic device designed to make
fun out of adding a new word
every day to one’s vocabulary. The
student tears a word out of the
pamphlet each morning, reads its
pronunciation and definition, and
uses it in his conversation. At
night he inserts the word in the
wallet in the back of the booklet.
Professor Smith has himself
described the word-a-day as “an
ingenius method for starting stu
dents upon word study, but only
a beginning.”
PARSONS VISITS BEACH
Dr. P. A. Parsons, professor of
sociology and also chairman of the
Oregon state planning commission,
left yesterday morning to spend
the weekend at his beach cottage
on Woahink lake for a much

Did you ever notice.. in a roomful of people.. the
difference between one cigarette and another..and
wonder why Chesterfields have such a pleasing aroma
Many things have to (ho with the aroma
of a cigarette . . . the kind of tobaccos
they are made of. . . the way the to
baccos are blended. . . the quality of
the cigarette paper.
IT takes good things to
make good things.
Someone said that to get
the right aroma in a cigarette,
you must have the right
quantity of Turkish tobacco
—and that’s right.
But it is also true that you
get a pleasing aroma from the
home-grown tobaccos . . .
tobaccos filled with Southern
Sunshine, sweet and ripe.
IFhen these tobaccos are
all blended and cross-blended
the Ch es t‘erf eld way> balanced
one against the other, you get
a flavor andfragrance that's
different from other cigarettes.
