A campaign is opening in, Eugene to raise $25,000 to aid tbe fund for the construction of a $200,000 Wom an's building on the campus of the University. Of the $200,000, half hag been appropriated by the state legislature, to be available for use in blocks of $25,000 as equal sums are raised by outside subscriptions. Tbe Eugene canvass Is in charge of a committee appointed by the Cham ber of Commer.ee. . ... ' In their appeal to the citizens for funds In support of the project, the committee points out that the enroll ment of women In the University has practically doubled In the last six years, increasing from 284 in 1913, to-550 this year. The gymnasium used by these 550 yoing women would be too small, it is declared, for half that number; the building is rapidly disintegrating, with Its floors a mass of splinters and Its founda tions rotting. This old gymnasium was built for the men 38 years ago, and when discarded by them, was turned over to the women. The glfls have no swimming pool of their own and are forced to do all their swim ming In the men's tank at narrowly restricted hours, which greatly re duce the opportunity for Its use. The first $1,000 of Eugene's $25.- 000 has already been subscribed by President and Mrs. P, L. Campbell of the University. The second big donation is one of $500 by VicR Bothers, of Eugene and Salem. It Is hoped to get the building under way early in the summer and to completi It liefore the end of the next college year. The campaign for, subscriptions thruout the state will be conducted In great part, by the State Federa tion of Women's clubs, which has committee at. work, headed by Mrs Roy T. Bishop, of Pendleton.

This soldier Is a private first class, No. 3,133,808. He was draft ed In. June, 1918, and went to Camp -ewls June 27. From there he was Bent to Camp Kearney, thence to New-York and to France.

Strikers Go Back at Tacoma Shipyards All Tacoma shipyards opened up for work Tuesday morning at 8:00 o'clock, mostly with- less men than went out on strake January 21.

Three shifts will be worked when the men and the service details are arranged. which may require several days. The Seaborn, Wright and Babarai plants, three wooden shipyards, rc- suemd at the same hour, all" with less men than heretofore because, It -was stated, cancellation and recent changes in specifications reducing Ferris type ships to barges gave less opportunity for construction work. All the firms took back such men of former crews as they could place, and expect to fill In to requirements within the next few days. C. C. Moore ft Co., manufacturing and installing mechanical equipment for ships, resumed with about 125 men and expect to list a few more, while the Paciflo Steel ft Boiler, works will begin Wednesday.
