They eili Jast eyeniijpqarge"house with ensea lled a fr3i goloai readings , and inr "liental selections. Some of the ..dience thought that the ensemble numbers were not quite as strong as last year, but the soloists were prob. ably considerably better. The "stunt" department on the present tour ,is unique and short but crisp. The club opened the program with the state school classic "Oh, Oregon," this was followed by Harold Humbert, a Eugene man who has a voice and knows how to handle it. His rendi- . tion of Shumann's "The Two Grena diers" was -esDecially effective and , clever. His encore was of a livelier John A. Black, singing "The Mighty Deep," by Jude, won lavor witn his well modulated voice and like the so loist ahead of him, displayed good training and natural ability. "I Hear ufFour You Calling," by warsnau was sung " by the club as the closing number of the opening part. Raymond Burns began the second , part of the program . with a piano solo that displayed apt skill. His playing of "Prelude" from Rachman inoff was about letter perfect. An innovation with the club this year is Ho-Sheng Huang, who sang a hymn to the Chinese republic, writ ten by himself. On his encore he sang "Tipperary" in Chinese, and fol lowed that with Normandy also in Chinese. Although Mr. Huang hasn't the polish to his voice that the oc cidental bassos of the club have, his numbers wert unique and pleasing. The only reading on the program was a grand effort by John M. Dolph , who recited "The Death of the Burgo inedster." Mr. Dolph has a smooth, ' deep voice and handles ft extremely well. His enunciation, and acting, combined to make the reading intense ly gripping. His number was one of the most popular of the evening. Walter Grebe played a trombone solo, responding to an encore. This too was a number of good execution. frivolity and good quartet work de veloped from a "Humoresque" cen tering about Gillette, Nelson, Langley and Dolph. Gillptte'n Numhprn Pine. . , Then came Zalvert J. Gillette, Jr., tne man wno arew the banner ap plause of the evening. Mr. Gillette, known to Glee club followers in La Grande, as he is, began by singing that ever popular but also ever dif ficult prologue from the opera Pag liacci. Singing it well, extremely well in fact, and in the Italian, too, Mr. Gillette wpn the hearts of his hearers. He was warmly recalled, but that was pot enough and he came back the third time and sang a verse from "Mother Machree." This was not enough either, and the fourth time , the young musician was called to the staige. It was a deserving tribute. : The program closed with another ' 1 1,e "SILENT SMITH" 0 Model 8 shows what should now be expected of a typewriter. - Ball Bearing; Long Wearing The success of the L. C. Smith &C Bros. Typewriters has been due to the fact that the wants of the user have dictated its construction. The user has decided in favor of certain improvements now incorporated in Model 8. Among them are: Silence of Operation The most silent running efficient typewriter ever placed on the market. Absolute silence has been very nearly attained. Decimal Tabulator A help in billing and tabulating. There is no extra charge for this convenience. Variable Line Spacer Enables the operator to start on a given iine and space from point of starting ; also to write on ruL'd lines whose spacing varies from typewriter spac- ing. A great help in card work. , Faster Ribbon Feed Insures new place of impact for each, typeface. f Choice of Carriage Return Upon special order the new left hand carriage return will be furnished in place of the right hand return. All the important features of previous models have been retained ball bearing carriage, typebars ar.d capital shift, back spacer, key-controlled ribbon, removable platen, protected type, flexible paper feed and automatic ribbon reverse.

United States murine corps statistics covering the lust two years show u greater percentage of men deserted who gave oceupatlou prior to entry ns "cooks" than any other class that en listed during the period. Desertions from the marine corps are very light at all times. The average marine considers that the service of fers better advantages than anything he could find in civil life, and ho be lieves the opportunities for travel and adventure to be unexcelled, and. were It npt for the cooks, marine corps of ficials believe that the "oldest branch of the service" would have an uluiost cleau slate with regard to desertions. No class oi men look so lightly on the oath of obligation as these selfsame "kulghts of the frying pan," marine corps recruiters declare. The Mioroecope. A spectacle maker.

"Then." said the crocodile, "by our agreement I shall keep him, for if you have told the truth I am not golug to give him back, and If It Is a lie I have also won." But the mother said. "If I told you the truth you are bound by your prom ise, and if it is not the truth it will not be a Ho until you have given me niv child." Who got the baby? So the Calf Kept On.
