' Before the enforced vacation the of ficers of the I-atin Club had planned to present "The Kiaherman's Rope" for the delectation of the members of the club on the 11th of October, but since this was impossible, the programme waa postponed until Friday night, November The play is an English version of a Latin comedy written by Plautus. The rast included the following students: :ordon Avry aa Plesidlppua, the hero: John Wuif aa Trarhalio. the slave of I'lesidippua: Hazel Greene, as Daedalis, an Athenian lady; Edward Rood as Sre parnlo. the slave of Daedalis: Alverda McNiven as Palaestra, the Jong-lost dauchter of Daedalis: Erma Uriswold aa Ameplisca, a slave girl, and-Gertrude Hansen as Ptomocratia. a priestess. While the Latin Club has given some very delightful comedies, none has equaled the "Fisherman's Rope" In humorous situations. The Initiation of the new members for the club was also a feature of the meeting Friday night. A very satisfactory plan for placing the school library in charge of pupils Is to have charge of the library for one period of each day, and, that there may be no break in this plan, each librarian is provided with a substitute, who will act in case of the absence of the first appointed. The students and their sub stitutes are: Gordo) Avery and Rudy Anderson. Melba. Smitbsqn and Louise Lott. Gertrude Hansen and Leona Ehret, Ruth Edmonson and Joyce Mason, Alice Brown and Bernice Shaw, Sibyl Bugbee and Hazel Greene. '- . Everyone was glad to - see Charles Spackman, former president of the Stu dent Body Association, and Percy John son when they visited the school re cently on leave of absence. The Boy Scout Troop No. 34, which formerly held Its meetings at Central Grammar School, has secured the High School gymnasium fo its meetings. Tba troop has elected C C. Thomason. one of the James John instructors, as scout mailer. The meetings of the troop are devoted to training- in Boy Scout re quirements and athletic training, such as volleyball during the Winter and out-of-door sports and hiking during the Spring. The results of the tryouts for the school play, which were held last week, were made public In the early part of this week. From this report we learn that the cast will consist of the follow ing students, who were choaen by a committee "of three teacher's: Helen Story as Esmeralda; Alice Brown' as Mrs. Rogers; Earline Walton as Nora Desmond; Amanda Steele as Kate Des mond; Gladys Coon as Sophia, the maid; Harlan Hiatt. as Dave Hardy; Denby Coon as Mr. Rogers; Edward Rood as Estabrook: Hugh Whisler as Jack Des mond; Melfred Wesleder as the Marquis, and George Mikscb as George Drew. .

The first issue of the "Lens" this term was hailed with more than the usual zest because of the long delay dye to the closing or der and the usual attendant remarks on Its distribution Wednesday were excep tionally fluent and favorable. The issue as a whole seems to come up to the ex pectations of the school, which is due largely to the material turned in by majiy new contributors. The cover de sign drawn by Odessa Campion is very attractive. The issue is-dedicated to the 14 Washington boys who save their lives in the service. It Is with great "relief that Washing ton students gaze on the service flag containing E20 blue stars and 14 gold ones and realise that the flag Is com pleted; that no more .stars, either blue or gold, will ever be added. ; The last gold star,' .the 14th, is added In honor of Roy Frank Wilton, a grad uate of June,; 1914. . As few of the 'members of the S. A. T. C. were able to be in town over Thanks giving week-end, the danpe planned by the girls- of the . January class was postponed, as .well as many other social affairs, until the Christmas holidays. r After much Investigation and discus- ion, the girls of the January class strated that the graduation-outfit could be completed not only as cheaply as if cotton dresses' were worn, but that silk dresses would prove more practical on the whole because of their durability and quality. Christmas greetings In the form of dainty hand-colored cards are already making their appearance and have been on sale all week by members of thi Girls' League. The' cards are very at tractive and are of varied design, with a timely greeting In verse. The sale is under the direction of the art depart ment, but the proceeds will go to the Girls' League to be used for patriotic purposes.

Room 208 came in sec ond and each room will receive a flar. Lincoln's other campaign, the one for the war savings stamps, is still con tinuing, and will end the first of the year.

Mife3 Emma Griebel, of the faculty. has -given one of her games, that have been recently published, to the school library. The game is called "Know Your Own' Ujnited States." 'Last year Miss Griebel put out a similar game called "Know Oregon." ' Lincoln students and teachers greatly regretted to hear of the death of Miss Frances Heath, a former teacher, which occurred on November 13, at her moth er's home in Lauelhurst. The advanced domes-tic science classes have had an -interesting week on the study of poultry. After this study each of the girls is expected to cook the home Thanksgiving fowl. On Wednesday evening, November 27, the June, 1919, class gave a dancing party at the home of Jane O'Reilly. w An interesting programme was en joyed by the Technophilae girls on Wednesday, . the following girls par ticipating: Ruth Waldron, Ida Fendel, Bertha Krauter, Lucille Helmer and Nora Bunnage.

N 3 sxsrxzi Tbo Ninety-first, aad Flrat at Camp Lewta, by Allre Palmar Handtf-son. llluatrated. John C. Hm.it, Tacoma. Wash. "Our own home soldiers' Is the cen tral thought In this breezy, graphic, attractively-presented record of the Slat Division of the National Army, recently encamped at Camp Lewis, - Wash., a division which had in It our own Oregon troops. Mrs. Henderson, of Tacoma, has done what Is to her a labor of love. Every page of her book shows that she knew intimately the encampment and many of Its soldiers. She also can be com mended for her Industry and faithful attention to detail in furnishing such voluminous accounts, including bio graphical data concerning notable of ficers and other officials attached to encampment duties. The pages are 510. and tbe excellent half-tone Illustrations, made from photographs, are more than 100 In number, many of them being pictures of officers of high rank. It is stated that the book was published without anyone's assistance, even in advance subscriptions, and that the civilians written about were not Informed that they were about to be mentioned. The book Is sold only by direct subscrip tion to Its publisher. It is stated that there has been such a demand for the book that already Its first edition Is nearly exhausted. Portland people are referred to In these pages, among them being Mrs. A. K. Hockey. Lieutenant Rockey, Mrs. William Mac.Maater. Miss Malsie Mac Master, and A. M. Grllley, ramp secre tary of the Y. M. C. A. Two of the pictures are those of Mrs. MacMastef and Mr. Grllley. Our author Is of the opinion that no other cantonment In the country, in the world, equals Camp Lewis in size, advantages, situation or beauty. It lias more than 108 square miles, "has the greatest parade ground and variety of terrain to suit every requirement, rolllna ground and flat, dense forests, and lush pasturage, fresh water lakes, brooka and aea-front." It Is stated that the first private at Camp Lewis was Herbert W. Hauck. All the arrangements of the camp are lauded as bein the beat possible no criticism la belnr offered on this point. Obviously, the chief figure In the book la that of Major-General Greene, the first commandant. We are told that the 91st "is an Infantry division that la, has a preponderance of foot sol diera. although every branch except aviation Is In Its make-up." A graphic bit of writing la the re view of the division by General Greene, and narrated cn paes 82-SJ. "Com-j pany after company march by, dipping their colors to the commandant as they passed the reviewing station. All 4ut Old Glory, held proudly erect, stars to the sky, stripes straightly carried by the free wind, and the serried tops of the ancient firs massed at the rear, their fixed bayonets piercing the blue. like towering shades of departed ranks looking down upon this new army, gathered from a happy-go-lucky popu lation, at peace since the highest of ficers 6f its regulars were playing soldier: not an army like that of the Civil War, rushed into the field, on both sides .untrained arid Inefficient, but an army fit to ally with the daunt less French, 'the valianr&Britlsh, the daring Italian, against the-Hun, for 40 years darkly preparing to unclvillze Europe, to dominate the free sea, and to extinguish, under submarines, the beckoning torch of Liberty Enlighten ing the World. " - An appreciative word picture In giv en of Chaplain William Loren .Fisher. A chaplain's Insignia is a silver cross upon the collar. It Is stated that a woman at camp who had just met Catholic chaplain and noted this cross waa Introduced to Lieutenant Fisher. Glancing at the cross, she said: "Glad to meet. Father Fisher." "Not I." laughed the Chaplain. "I am father to nothing and nobody. I'm an old bachelor" though old he is not. On page 107 there is mention of the Tooze family, tke oldest Captain Wal ter L. and the twin lieutenants, Lamar and Leslie Tooze, who were all at Camp Lewis at once. It is - stated that - the 363d, under Major Sell wood, was recruited ln'vPort land. "and so was. the 364th, which boasts of being first of sanitary trains to reach Camp Lewis July 14, 1917.' On- page 324 we read 'that-"five of its sanitary train are from Portland, the home of medical patriots, as LJeuten ant Lacombe. chaplain of the 34?th Ar tillery expressed It. It Isn't safe to be Indisposed in Portland nowadays; there cannot be physicians left In its borders. ', "Why. there Is a Base Hospital 46, University of Oregon and Elks, one of the first units to be recruited, last July, and only mobilized the end of March, awaiting orders to prepare for France all the time. A committee of four from Portland Lodge B. P. O. E. No. 143 came to present the colors. Monroe Goldstein, attorney, from Port land, made the presentation speech, re ferring to the mUlloa dollar fund of the Grand Lodge raised for war pur poses. The equipment of the hospital cost 160.000. -C M. Ringler, exalted ruler of the Portland Lodge, formally ; gave over the standard, which waa ac cepted by Lieutenant-Colonel Davis, of Hospital 46. George -L. Baker, Mayor of Portland, and several 'of the council also visited the unit,' which underwent intensive training at Camp Lewis." An appreciative sketch Is given of the Hoatess . House at Camp Lewis, with likewise an interesting mention of the activities of Mrs. MacMaster, of this city. In speakjng of the opening of the Hostess House, and the lining up of Hostess House women for. a pic ture, "tbe tall one is Miss Maisie Mac Master, of Portland, assistant hostess, with the- smile that won't come, off." Of the 30,000 soldiers in camp, 7390 were Catholics, 1114 Mormons, 364 Jews.' 226 Greek Orthodox, all requir ing special chaplains, with 20,916 Prot estants of varying denominations. There were 162S Episcopalians, 2494 Lutherans, 660 Christian Scientists with no chaplain accredited to them, visiting clergymen being sent instead. On page 438 we meet. with a lively sketch of A.- M. Grilley, the camp sec-, retary. and it is stated, "Hells another man . who can laugh; people- -like to have him around. He first sent Y. M.s 200 -miles down - the ' road' to- meet drafted men's trains and come in with them. In other words, "Grilley's alive.' " . The best-written chapter among the 26 Is that on "Hail and Farewell," de scribing the moving scene when the division left Camp Lewis en route for France, and In this description there is just the suspicion Qf .-aVtear.

All pronouncements as to psychic phenomena draw the curious, the seeker after what practically is to him the workroom. Here is a book certainly that, provokes curiosity. Dr. Martin discusses the various aspects of the new psychic movements in the light of the evidence at hand.

OSTRACISM HELD ILLEGAL Heavy Damages Assessed Against . British Medical Association. The right of a voluntary and unoffi cial organization to lay down and en force laws for members of a profession or trade and to injure and damage members of the profession who violate such rules has been denied by a British court. The organization In question is the British Medical Association. The Medical Association had pro. claimed, and enforced what it termed ostracism" of several doctors wba were conducting a'sanitarium and who were charged by the MedlcaT Associa tion with, violating professional ethics, or the'rules of the society. One of the charges was hinged upon the amount of money which the doctors required of patients, which apparently was below the scale demanded by the society, and the other dealt with alleged control of the sanitarium by non-professsional persons. Justice McCardle, who decided the case, called it a boycott. He decided that "the plaintiffs did not sin against the honor of the medical profession," which was the formal charge made against them by the association. There fore he awarded heavy damages for tho four doctors against the association, ranging from J5000 to $3500. Probably the case will be appealed to the court of final resort, the House of Lords.
