Again I See (Continued from Fai/c Two) The files of the Eugene City Guard and the Oregon Journal of 1876-77 bring vividly to mind the terrors of the small pox panic which • seized the town, the sum mer before the opening of the Uni versity, and continued into the fall. The steamer “John F. Stephens’’ had brought to Portland a China man who subsequently was pro-1 nounced a small pox victim, and a fellow passenger, engaged as a farm hand west of town, later de veloped .the malady. Still later When Mr. W. H. Abrams, living on East Broadway fell ill, the attend ihg physician diagnosed it as var ioloid and so officially reported it. But the Town Council, in response to public demand, engaged Dr. A. W. Patterson to investigate, who pronounced it as an unquestioned case of small pox. The yellow flag was at once displayed. I have a hazy memory of a whole family west of town being wip’ed out. A suspicious Chinaman was detected, skulking about town and adding tremendously to the panic. A man was quarantined in what was popularly called ‘'the pest house" on the slope of Col lege Hill south of town. How well 1 recall that haunted shack, so lonely in a big field, shunned by all as we would a lazar-house! And what a relief it was to all of us youngsters when it was burned to demonstrate the effectiveness of a Chemical Fire Engine in which our City of Eugene had just invested! And all this was happening just at the opening of the University, the excitment about Mr. Abrams occurring only the day before ma- 1 The Invention That is Meant for All Sight is the most priceless pos session you have.

Miss Atkins prepared various food products before the class, showing the use of evaporated rnilk in the home and its economic value. triculation. Eugene papers made every effort to stifle any too great publicity, the Guard in particular rapping another paper soundly for spreading unwarranted news. Un questionably it affected the enroll ment at the University, and it cer tainly did the morale of the stu dents. It is a wonder the institu tion kept an even course under such stress, for other enterprises, both public and private, were tem porarily suspended. An interesting side light is thrown upon the picture by an item appearing in both papers of Oct. 21, 1878, to the effect that “Miss Ina Condon’s school in the Episcopal Church school house will reopen the 23rd.” It had been closed on account of the small pox panic. Ina Condon was eldest daughter of Dr. Thos. Condon of the Faculty, only recently arrived in Eugene, later to become the wife of Robert S. Bean of the First Class, so long prominent as Judge %n many high benches, and President of the Board of Re gents.

It was on the Oregon campus that he met Ruth Austin, a journalism student, who was to become his wife. Most vividly he remembers the fuss that was created when he and a few other scholars who had en listed in the war, undertook the task that has occupied the atten tion of so many Oregonians since —that of abolishing military train ing in the school. “We were called everything from cowards to communists,” smiled Allen. “I was a correspon dent for the Oregonian and the New York World at the time and got in every inch of space I could for our cause. And the funniest thing was that nobody at the Uni versity knew who was writing all this stuff. Finally we were given the choice of surrender or expul sion and the movement died for that time."

Guests Spoil Fun The show opens gayly with the lilting tempo of a Chevalier-in Paris sequence, but then the guests arrive and spoil the fun of seeing a mock March of Time study of hotel practices. While we are still in a good humor we'll mention the other masticatable scene—Shop ping with Baby it allowed us the illusion that Gloria Stuart might be able to do something about it. Generally speaking the show is as widely diverse and jumbled as a notion bargain counter with a leader, Broadway Baby tune, to justify the rest. Cost Draws Comment A dvertised as the mystery me chanical wonder of the year, the piano revue left us with the usual conditioned response—“what an expense" — until we discovered what made the pianos go. Ev themselves, some of the act ors fulfill the requirements of mu > icomedy. but thrown together in a crazy patch-work fashion, they assumed exaggerated gestures, and an almost hysterical, steam heated fashion of blurting lines. We are speaking of Brady, an old favorite and Menjou, the man v/ith the 80 suits but only one per sonality. Before Dorothy Dare goes noble again we would like to remind her how she got where she is today, (a dubious position at the most,) by playing witless, know-it-all, col lege flirts. We could excuse her for that . . . Warner Bros, should do a west thunder, stampeding requisites— down pat. W’itness the gargan tuan dancing flop. Our ears are still ringing. Even the "airflow” Dixie belles with their high school album smiles left us with a long ing for something like sea air. B. B. Says Goodbye The only dramatic incident in the show was the exodus of the Broadway Babe out the window— but unfortunately she forgot to take cotton-candy Powell, and static-visaged Stuart along with her. P.S. If your movie blurbist dis appears some fine day, you’ll know that irate movie managers finally got her.

Art Holman’s Commanders have been engaged to play for the dance, which will be in Gerlinger. The decorations resemble a huge barroom.

Just as money accumulates interest, two and a half years of ageing makes these tobaccos milder and naturally sweeter. 1 hink what this means—an eighty-five mil lion dollar reason why men and women who smoke Chesterfields will always enjoy a milder, better-tasting cigarette.
