'We Need Furniture,'
Houses Wail to Santa
By BOB WHITELY
“Dear Santa — please send the
house some furniture. Golly how we
need it."
Every fraternity and sorority
house on the campus can use furn
ishings for their house at any time
of the year. Nothing gives a better
appearance to a guest or notable
than to come in to a well-furnished
house.
Within a boys’ house the problem
is quite a bit different than with
girls. The gifts have to be of a
very wearable nature, yet they
have to fit in with the whole
scheme of decorations. Nearly every
house has its den and fireplace
where people gather to discuss ev
erything from politics to ping
pong, and the wear on the furni
ture is terrific.
Den Hints
Recommended furniture for the
den includes huge leather uphol
stered chairs and davenports to
match. They will have to be strong,
because when 500 pounds of fra
ternity beef start wrestling around
on them-- they have to be “built to
take it.”
A rich oriental rug will greatly
enhance the beauty of any room,
and tne same principle works for
the rug as the davenports and
chairs.
Drapes Good
Venetian blinds and floor length
drapes will make the furnishings
complete in any house, and are
great assets.
For the living room, occasional
chairs, end tables and pictures can
always be used to a good advant
age. Ash trays that just won't tip
over, no matter how hard they
are hit, are always welcome. Large
overstaffed footstools are always
needed the upper classmen get all
the chairs.
‘Pokers’ Help
There’s nothing like a good fire
place fire, and something that will
make it look just that much better
is a good set of andirons and “pok
ing tools” to match.
By far the most welcome gift
as far as studying is concerned i3
new lamps. New. indirect lighting
will bring out the beauty in any
room.
A new radio, pictures, any item
of home furnishings can always be
used by a house, and are always
gratefully appreciated by those
who live there. If your alumni
group is contemplating buying
some furnishings for your house,
let them know what you need
worst—which v^ill in nine cases out
of ten include everything men
tioned.

PATRIOTIC ACCESSORIES
, Kenyon-Jones Photo
These accessories will light the patriotic fires in milady's heart;
the bright red of the suede gloves is repeated in the beads, the round
powder compact is designed in circles of red, white, and blue, and the
handkerchief is splashed with stars and the American flag. The purse
goes stern in black broadcloth with a big amber clasp.

Christmas Worries?
How About aRadio?
By JOHNNY KAHANANUI
Does your best friend have a
radio ? If he does have one, it prob
ably gargles and splutters like
yours. Or perhaps it yawns and re
lapses into spasms of delirium dur
ing Jack Benny or a Benny Good
man rampage. To be brazenly
blunt, your friend probably needs
a new radio, and it’s Christmas

time, you’re beginning- to realize,
so . . .
Even if the only thing you can
count on or in your wallet right
now is the number of teeth in the
zipper, soon you’ll be thumbing
through those Yuletide savings,
tfnd, of course, there’s no better
(or maybe louder) way of spread
ing joy than through a shining new
radio.
It’s Contraband
Montgomery Ward is giving
away a fist-sized Airline for S6.95,
call it $7 even, if you wish. Emer
son is sporting a $9.95 affair that
can be toted anywhere and plugged
into any AC or DC outlet . . . has
a built-in aerial, a handle ’n every
thing. Again, $9.95. Of course for
$17.95 you can get a five-tube deal,
and throwing in an extra two
bucks will get the purchaser one
with “no outside wires."
Cabinets Vary
RCA Victor offers a six-tube
compact in a “new design” plastic
housing for $18.95. Another dollar,
Sideshow
(Continued from paeje two)
Lindbergh made his speech we
put his mother-in-law (Mrs.
Dwight W. Morrow) on the air
—and was that a face card? It
was.
“She said, ‘Telegraph the
White House and your congress
men' and the next day . . . In,000
telegrams came tumbling down
on Washington, saying give the
destroyers to Great Britain.’
They never knew what hit
them."
Only Scolding
So brags Mr. White. The
Times quotes him merely as an
introduction to scolding him for
his frankness, saying that such
talk will needlessly arouse sus
picion and injure the usefulness
of his committee.
The Times is correct, of
course, but that was not the rea
son why Senator Bennett
Champ Clark of Missouri had
the editorial reprinted in the
Congressional Record, nor is it
why I am quoting it here. , I
don't want to preserve the use
fulness of the William Allen
White committee. Not at all.
There is a lot of other per
tinent information in this issue
of the Record that ought to be
cried from the housetops. But
space, and the energy of the
energy of the Emerald advertis
ing staff, doesn't permit. If
you're bored over the holidays
— perish the thought—consult
your public library.
Meanwhile, so long till next
term, and Merry Christmas.
§19.95, will bring a six-tube super
heterodyne (don’t ask what it
means) AC and DC current Zenith.
If you're a stickler for matching
furniture, this one's in a walnut
cabinet.
General Electric is peddling a
midget radio—six inches high, nine
and one-fourth across, and five and
one-eighth deep for $13.95. Works
on either AC (alternating current,
the kind that comes through the
light sockets) or DC (battery
stuff).
Then there’s that novel combina
tion bed lamp and radio for $21.95.
Has adjustable brackets to lit any
type bed, six tubes, and a tubular
bed lamp enclosed.
I’hllco Compact
Philco blossoms forth with an
AC-DC, attached aerial, no ground
needed, five-tube thing for $11.95.
Maybe there’s a plutocrat in the
crowd. For him there are Philc.os at
$79.95, RCA Victor combination at
$169.50, Zeniths for $79.95, Gen
eral Electrics for the same price,
and Stromberg-Carlsons for take
a deep breath—$220.
So there you are — $7 to $200
plus. That’s enough for anybody.
Or are you giving socks this
Christmas, too.

Give Baggage
College Coeds Crave
Airplane L uggage
By HELEN ANGELL
Besides all those clothes that
make life worth living', there are
three articles that every Oregon
coed thinks she has to have to be
a success . . . wooden shoes, a
string of peat Is . . . airplane lug
gage.
It's funny about this luggage
business . . . how it hit the femi
nine collegian with such force that
it's now some sort of a tradition
to see piles of like bags light with
gay stripes around their middles -
stacked in the basements of plac
es where girls hang their hats.
Eager for Luggage
We asked some typical coeds
what they thought about bags for
Christmas. They were all eager
about the whole thing. Trunks
aren’t so important, they thought,
because “you bring them down in
the fall and hide them in the base
ment until spring , . . and moth
er’s will do." But good-looking
bags give one that certain air of
completion and finesse when she
makes her entrance in the railroad
station.
“Why airplane luggage?” was
queried, “is it just a fad or is there
really a reason.”
Want Something Unusual
The little brunette being inter
viewed was disgusted. "College
girls have some unusual ideas,”
she admitted, “but you can trace
almost any of them to the fact that
it is practical if a bit 'off the beat
en track.’ Wooden shoes are crazy,
but they keep the rain out. And
airplane luggage ... we choose it
because it's light, it’s durable, it's ;
inexpensive, it's colorful . . . and j
it has that sporty casual effect!
that is the ideal of every coed.”
Most college gil ls like to have ;
the small overnight case for hur
ried trips on weekends, and the
larger weekend case with hangers.
The big-size fortnighter, which
serves as a small trunk is ideal for
longer stays . . . and our brunette
says they must all be matching
“to suit the girl’s personality.”
For girls who live far away,
small cases fitted with comb, !
brush, mirror, and bottles for lo
tions make an ideal gift. They'll
be used on the train going home
. . . and she’ll never stop saying,
“I love it.”
To the Oregon
student body.
Good luck in
