TITE MORNING OIEGONIAN. MONDAY, MAY 24. 1D15. It REED SENIORS BUSY IIIITU CVAMlMATinMC I.IM....U1.U Commencement Week to Be gin With Baccalaureate ( Sermon Next Sunday. FESTIVITIES ARE DELAYED Outsiders Put on Board for Oral Tests to Check Up on Work. Kxerclnes Slay Be Held In Open Air. The last week of studies for Reed College seniors is at hand and while the end of the year is supposed to be particularly pleasant, as it is the first class the members of the faculty are postponing- their kind deeds for a week. In the meantime the "exams" will be coming along with monotonous regu larity. Each senior has to take a final oral examination before several members of the faculty including his major pro fessor and also some person not other wise connected with the college. Most of these oral "exams" already have been held during the past few weeks but there are a number scheduled for this week. The examinations last usually an hour but in case the examiners have failed to stick the student in that time they are at liberty to stretch the time out a little and redouble their efforts to find out if there is anything he does not know. In other cases they find it necessary to stretch the time In an. effort to find a question that he can answer. Most of the seniors have done fairly well on the oral quizzes though a few have become more or less "fussed" during the ordeal. Outsider Check I'p on Work. The presence of an outside person tin the examining board serves to check up on the work of each depart ment and should have the effect of preventing a department from going stale and losing connection with the progress in the particular field. The idea of having several members of the faculty on the examining board serves to co-ordinate the work of the vari ous departments. Among the persons who have helped In the examinations are Dr. C. II. Chapman. Dr. George Rebec, Dr. Edwin Conklln. Mrs. Mable Holmes Parsons, and Dr. W. P. Boynton, all of the ITniversitv of Oregon; R. L. Sabin. Richard Slontague. Isaac Fwett, W. H. Galvant. Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Eliot, Dr. A. I'. MacKlnlay, Dr. E. O. Sisson, F. A. Olmsted, C. E. S. Wood, and W. I Finley. Each senior must present a thesis In his major department covering the results of some experimental Investi gation. A number of the theses will be published In scientific periodicals. Jn the department of physics one thesis already has been published in the Physical Review and another ac cepted for publication. Copies of the theses must be filed by the Btudents In the college library. Baccalaureate Sermon it Sunday. For commencement week, the bac calaureate sermon will be preached In the college chapel by Professor Nor man F. Coleman next Sunday, follow ing the dedication of the new organ which was given to the college by W. T. Olds.

The Crawfish feels that surd action cannot be countenanced by it In its editorial colyums. Italy wan amply warned that such a course would be in direct op position to the wishes expressed and the .principles laid down by the Mothers' Congress and the ladies at The Hague and yet In the face of this warning, she leaped headlong with both feet the other into the seething and precipitous of maze of war. Crawfish one of While, as a neutral organ. we are naturally obliged to wish Italy, along with the other em broiled and warring powers, the best of luck in her late undertak ing, we feel that the Congress of Mothers would be Justified In re calling its representatives from Italy, if it has any there, and thus throwing upon the bur dened shoulders of that power it)e full responsibility for hav ing disregarded the expressed wish of the Mothers' Congress that the present war should not go on nor increase. w poetry.

THE BILLION DOLLAR MYSTERY Episode Seventeen. The pursuers of Mortimer Sar cophagus captured him and beat him up for eighty rods of film. "Halt:" cried a voice, and they turned to find themselves look ing Into the muzzle of a 42 centlmeter howitzer in the hands of the mysterious young woman. Under her direction the detec tive tied them together and shoved them Into the river with a mocking laugh. Then he turned and clasped her in his arms for five feet of film (the remainder was or dered cut out by the censors who object to longer kisses) and they turned and hastened back in search of Kranmus who had been left unconscious in the restaurant. Still there was no clue to the whereabouts of the billion dol lars. (Episode IS of the Billion Dol lar Mystery will be shown next Monday night). day. which Is a source considerable grief to The editor, for Charley was the admirers of our Barton .Feasts Gaily. Bruce Barton, the popular star reporter on our est. con temp.. The Oregonian, was assigned to cover the "Feast of Shevuoth" at the Temple Beth Israel the other night, and having been a guest at the various collations spread in honor of the B'Nal B'Rlth party that had been visiting here, he wisely refrained from stocking up on dinner before be went to report the feast. He returned at 21 o'clock P. M. and requested the City Ed. for time to run out and get a sandwich. "An excellent programme was rendered," he volunteered when questioned, "but there had evi dently been some mistake about the feast, for when I left they hadn't brought in the soup course yet." Neutrality Preserved. A contest for queen of the Rose Festival ls being held and we understand that it has been very interesting. The Crawfish ls remaining absolutely neutral and will print not voting coupons for the contest. We regard this as the most comfortable course to pursue and, as our readers know, when The Crawfish once embarks on a course. It follows it fearlessly to the end. TRIPLE ETEXT IS HARD TO BUCK. (THAT'S) merited by the generosity you show to me." Another feature of the floral parade prize list this year will be a grand prize of $250 for the best decorated car, or float in any class. The winner of this prize will be eliminated from participating; in any other prize. Mr. Powers explains this change was made because so many Portland people went to a great expense to decorate their cars. The festival management has also changed the prizes for the touring: car class. This year there will be three prizes. The first will be $150, the sec ond $75 and the third $25. Last year a large number of cars were entered in this class. Motorcycles will enter in competi tion for prizes for the first time this year. Two prizes have been set aside. The first is $50 and the second $25. A. L. Welsh, president of the Portland Motorcycle Club, has assured Mr. Pow ers they will have more than 25 beautifully-decorated motorcycles in the pageant. Attractive designs are to be created, using- the motorcycle as a base and Mr. Powers has been assured it will be one of the most attractive sec tions of the parade.

MILK BY-PRODUCTS INDUSTRY SURVEYED University Statistics Show That Foreign Competition Is Too Keen. COST IS LOWER IN EUROPE Biggest Problem Is to Find Market for Condensed Article Cnder Present Tariff; Exports Ixw Except to Alaka. Development of the condensed milk industry in the Pacific Northwest 1 confronted, by the most difficult of in dustrial obstacles, According to the in formation so far gathered by the de partment of commercial and Industrial survey of the University of Oregon school of commerce, which has been looking Into the possibilities of a world market for milk by-products. The survey has not yet secured full statistics, but H. B. Miller, of Portland. "director, says outlets for Increased milk production may be found in malted milk, tinned milk, sugar of milk and powdered milk. There ia also hone of a trade among the Chinese in skimmed condensed milk. The low coet of producing raw milk in European countries is the obstruc tion to extensive export of Western Oregon and Western Washington con densed mrik. The average European dairy farm laborer receives about $8 a month and board, compared with $30 a month and board in dairying sections in the Middle West, and as high as $15 a month and board in the dairy sections of the Pacific Northwest. Foreign Women Do Much of Work. A great deal of the work in European dairying districts is done by women. and the- farmer's entire family usually works In the field and does the milk ing. The cost of feed and the cost of milk handling thus sets up a differ ential in favor of the European that makes the condition almost entirely be yond the control of the American man ufacturer. Next to milk, the most important Item producing condensed milk is sugar. Most of the milk-producing countries of Europe also have a large production of beet sugar, England, Ireland and Norway excepted. Even in these coun tries the duties that are paid on the sugar imports from Germany and Austria-Hungary (In normal times) are refunded where the sugar is used in manufacturing condensed milk for ex port. The American condensed milk manufacturer must absorb the United States duty. The third most important material. tin plate, also costs the American con densed milk manufacturer more than the European manufacturer because of 15 per cent ad valorem protective duty, which represents about 50 cents base box. European Tariffs Heavy. European countries are not only pro tected in competition at home from Northwest condensed milk by their cheaper cost of production, but have the further protection of heavy tariffs on condensed and evaporated milk. The Underwood tariff bill puts condensed nilk and evaporated milk on the Amer can free list and since Its passage there has been heavy importation of these products from Europe. The war for a few months lessened the volume of these importations, but they have nearly resumed normal again. In January. February and March, 191o, for example, 50,000 cases came through the port of New York, displacing lust so many cases of native manufacture. Tabulation of costs of producing raw milk show the following: United States. $1.56 a hundredweight; Switzerland, $1.55; Norway, $1.50; Eng land, $1.44: Germany. $1.44; Denmark. $1.20; Holland, $1.09; Sweden. 99 cents; Ireland, 95 cents. The differential in favor of Ireland la thus 61 cents a hundredweight, or about 40 per cent. In favor of Den mark, a heavy raw milk producer, it is 36 cents. In all these countries there is an enormous production of raw milk far in excess of local and city con sumption, which releases large sup plies for the manufacture of condensed UK. Good sou ana intensive cultiva tion are the secrets of this heavy pro duction. Market Is Need Under Tariff. 'The State of Oregon thua can not exDort butter or condensed milk or evaporated milk to countries where these products come into direct, compe tition with similar products from Europe, neither can it export to Aus tralia or to Siberia, On the contrary, large quantities actually are brought into the Pacific States from these two countries last named." said Director II. R. Miller. "The problem under the present tariff is thus to find a market for by-products. We have a condensed milk market of course in Alaska and among our own people, but I do not see how we can sot out to develop a vast raw milk production for condensed milk manu facture in this state and Washington so long as we have to compete with present conditions. Skimmed condensed milk, a thin and unnutritious by product, is still in demand among the Chinese, but it remains to be seen how good a market could be worked up. There are comparatively few cows 'in China." Consular reports from Australia, New Zealand, Jaya, Korea, Canada, Mexico. South America and Europe have figured so far in the work of survey.

Maps Drawn By Fire Hares a Indicate Where Hydrants hould Go, bat ot One ls Put In. That City Commissioner Daly has stored up much trouble for himself by following out the policy of con structing new water mains without putting in fire hydrants, ostensibly for the purpose of matting the Water Bureau operation costs look small, ls apparent from the complaints which are beginning to reach the City Council from various parts of the city. Although the practice always has been to put in the fire nydrants when mains are constructed Commissioner Daly adopted the policy last November of leaving off the fire hydrants regard less of how badly they are needed for lire protection in residence districts. Construction of new mains has gone ahead all Winter, many mile of mains having been laid, yet not a single fire hydrant has been put in on these mains. And this in spite of the fact that hun dreds of hydrants all ready to install are piled in the Water Bureau storage yards on the East Side. Ordinarily there would have been con structed between last November and the present 250 to 300 hydrants. These would have cost about $23,000. This amount will go to make up the "econo my" showing of the Water Bureau for the year. It will be credited as $J3.00U saved. The first district to protest against the hydrantless mains was Lents. A Bull Kun main was put through Lents, a distance of more than two miles, without a single fire hydrant being put in. Although the Lents district is well settled and contributes annually to the water funds and Is paying for the water mains constructed there, the dis trict is Just as badly off from a fire standpoint as it was before the ma'n was laid. The Lents residents appeared before the Council last week to protest against the Daly policy of putting in no hydrants. A part of the Irvington district Is in the same boat. A delegation will appear before the Council Wednesday to ask the installation of hydrants on mains laid there. It is expected other districts will be up in arms as soon as it becomes realized fully that the Daly policy means no fire protection in new districts. The Fire Bureau Is much interested in the proposition. Continuously since last November the places where fire hydrants are needed on new mains have been designated on plans furnished by the Water Bureau, but not one of these hydrants has been Installed. 100 STUDENTS PAY FINE Pullman Youths Who Attempted Fake Cure' Dealt With in Court.
