University- of-Oregonr-lCugene, Or., Dec. 10. It took a freshman girl to ask Allen Eaton, a senior member of the Oregon legislature and author of a book upon tha -"Oregon System ques tions upon the initiative and referendum laws which he could not answer. Mr. Eaton - addressed ' the tiewly formed co-ed political club at the university upon the . initiative and referendum. Thirty or 40 university women were present, largely upper classmen. At the conclusion one demure Hood River freshman, apparently . well versed upon such subjects herself, asked concerning certain features of the Maine system, which the legislator, ani auithpr, was at, loss to answer, -vtJf--- Before long, though, it Is very prob-i able that Mr. Eaton alone will not be the object of embarrassing political questions. Husbands may soon find it necessary to prepare themselves against the onslaught of enthuslastlo suffra gette - wives. At the request of nu merous women's clubs of the state the university lias prepared a correspond ence ' course of citizenship study. The first lesson la about ready to send out. Among the questions asked are many that might stick a number of the mas culine voters. For Instance, one is this: , "Mention four or five protective meas ures that , the Increase of population and mora complex social conditions have revealed the need of." Or again, - "What are the' two most dangerous forma of democratic government?" However, these are fully discussed In one , of the several text books which the student-suffragists will, study. The citizenship course is divided into two 'sections,'".:.;':..'. ,. . The first deals with the private study of the structure and functions of state : and federal government A clear idea - of these is requisite. , The second division of the woman's course deals -with the conditions and problems of , progress and social wel fare. "The main portion of this citisen- ' ship study will be devoted to problems bearing "upon political, economic and - social progress. Upon these subjects the university wll furnish speakers to address the women's clubs periodically - and the university will also send out outlines and sets of questions to aid in the study. Periodical examinations will lo held to test the knowledge of tha students." The following questions are , taken from Hough's "The Attitude of the Citiren." . . "What do the responsibilities of citi zenship embrace?" "How are the power and responsl . bllity of a citizen to be judged and how increased?... - --"What question, asked of oneself, 'sounds the deep tone of democracy? ' - "Mention two phases or 'forces' of - social progress. .Enumerate the dlffer ' ent endeavors for the betterment of community life." "Specify the sinister and corrupting ; influences that - menace democracy. Pulnt out how each gets in its work." . .. "What are the causes of indiffer ence to the obligations of citizenship?" "What is the primary object of cdu . cation and the study of the history and . Institutions of. our country?" , . "Upon' what" does the true citizen -- 1 - , g base his appreciation of fellow man?" "What Is meant by individual Inter ests and how far are they normally re strained?" "What caused the present tendency to press restrictions in the Interest of the general community?" "Mention four or five economlo or social relations in which there is need to cultivate a keen' sense of collective Interests and to simulate sentiment which appreciates common Interest and demands its recognition?" : ' , "What is the worst injury the sensa tional press could cause and what is tha most-effectlv. protection from it?" "What causes deter the average American from meeting manfully the responsibilities of citizenship?" "How much Is claimed for the 'voice of the majority' and how can it be made more nearly true and just?" English Comedy 'Skit Wins Applause'; Battle-Ax Jugglers. Presenting a bit of English mody in It most nitartalnlni, T. I Hi Clark and Mable Hamilton, as head liners of the new' Orpheura bill, opening at the Bungalow last night, took well in "A Wayward Conceit," and drafted heavily on. the - audience for 'applause. Clark as a broken down aristocrat fur nlshed the futi, his concelta.'.lndulged in a mora or less artistic manner, being directed at Miss Hamilton. - . s Keno and Green, in a .musical whij en titled,: "Hands Across the Street," vied with the other act and judging from applauue gained by their act they sue ceeded in more than .satisfying the au dience. The act ended with a rather fantastical rag. Novelty singing and dancing ex presses the act of Joseph Herbert Jr., and Lillian Goldsmith, the feature being the Dance of the Siren. Here Miss Goldsmith dances barefoot and her fas cinating motions seduce the audience as well as the ragged castaway sailor man in the ships of Herbert, who ably assists her in this dance. ; " ;' Probably the greatest , applause win ner of the evening was the violinist, Slgnor Travato; whose eccentricities with the Instrument called forth re peated outbursts from the listeners. His correct and lnstantaneous-imita-ttons of whistles from the audience made a great hit. ' Tuscano Brothers, battle ax jug glers, performed daring feats with the wicked looking Instruments and on sev eral occasions to point out the fact that they were Well sharpened the brothers would strike them Into woodon blocks, v Charming Carrie Reynolds charmed by her appearance and proved to be a dainty singer and dancer. Tho Hassans, who gave a tight wire exhibition, made a good impression and showed a great deal of agility, the man of the troupe riding the wire on a bicy cle. The act was finished by-a novel acrobatic dance In which the man and two ladles took part. DR. MARY WALKERMAY SEE IDEALS ADOPTED Kew 3rork,Dev 10 "Fight the fashion trust, slaves to fashion, strike off the shackles of Parisian dictation and join the movement for a rational national dress, where comfortable trousers will replace the uncomfortable hobble skirt." The recommendations made by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt at a suffrage meet ing on Friday, that American-women could follow the example of the' Chi nese women in dress, met with over whelming and enthusiastic approval by New York suffragists, who declared that they would Immediately take steps to put Mrs. Catt's suggestions into prac tice. - Mrs. Catt today received scores of let ters from suffragists, club women and working girls commending her for the advocacy of a "sane, more artistic dress." Four Continents Visited on Tour Mabel Hamilton Tells of the Quaint Places Visited Dur ing Year, ' Journal Want Ads bring results. By V. W. ' "How do you do? It is so awfully good of you to come and set me and now let us find a quiet corner and have a cup of tea." And then I knew dainty little Mabel amllton, one of the headllner at (he Orsheum this week, was genuinely Eng. llah, for no other woman offers you tea In the same, breath with which she ac knowledges your lntroduatlon. : "O, It is so good to have someone to talk to, for I am beginning to feel so awfully homesick. That feeling always comes at holiday time. We have such wonderful Christmas celebrations In England and what a great day of feast ing and drinking and calling Is. New Years. O, bow I shall miss It all. " ''And then, too, it is very very hap. this going about so much, and here in America, two performances a day ah, It is very hard." "And does the work pay? Do you find the game worth the candle?": I asked. w , A "big" serious look took possession or her face ana she oeeiared with all seriousness, "I would not give It. up far hundreds of. thousands of dollars" and then with a merry twinkle In her eyes "Of course I never saw so much money, but I'm sure I wouldn't no matter how big 'the sum. - - , "It is my life .J love it There Is 'something" within that makes ub do things and it was that 'something" that put me on the stage. My father and mother were bitterly opposed to my chosen profession, but I had a dear good aunt who has helped 'me. My beginning was six years ego and now I have my dear, clever husband." And who will deny that he Is clever, the "fresh, penniless Englishman" who works with Miss Hamilton in their little skit? .'. : ' : " ''But listen, and I will tell you my secret; it is just two words grand opera. Yes, I really can sing, and an eminent French master told me that If he could have me for three years my 'Butterfly' would be incomparable. Isn't that wonderful? . O, I get so excited whenever I talk about It. My husband has written a good deal of muslo and so we expect to leave the tago very soon; he to write and I to study, and if I ever have the good fortune to visit your city again, I trust it will be in opera. ' . " Rears End of World Tour. "This, though; has been a wonderful trip and when we reach San Franclso next week we will have been almost around tha world. Yes, tvb left London last July,' going from there to Paris, Marseilles, Port Said, Columbo, then to all the great cities of Australia and from there to Africa, and let me tell you that I adore Africa, the people are so appreciative and so kind. In Port Said I was positively fascinated with the women so picturesque in their veiled faces and flowing frocks. But Madeira that is fairyland. The streets are so tiny , and narrow and the walls are all covered with the most wonderful flower laden vines and instead of auto mobiles one goes about drawn by oxen. O, it is wonderful I want to go back there some time." "In yonr busy life you must miss the activities of outdoor life so dear to the English woman," was suggested. "I do, more than I can tell you. I am very fond Of everything outdoors, but most of all I love horseback riding. It Is my favorite sport and when I am at in it,",-. A I il US ) J s ...- a Mabel Hamilton. , home in London I ride every day, usu ally from two untlj, four, for there we don't have any matinees. I brought my habit over with me, but I left It In New York, because I found I had So time for anything except work, work, work in this country. '" "And besides you would hardly believe It if I told you how many requests we havo to give of our time and talent for charity. , "And do you know that if I gave away all my clothes that are asked for either in person or by mall- well, I wouldn't have any left. Girls think actresses' dresses grow on trees, I verily believe! Sometimes they are little home girls and again they have stage .aspirations, and these I always want to help, for I be lieve in the stage as a profession. It Is splendid, interesting work with oppor tunity for advancement if one has talent, and as for the immoral tendencies, there is no more that is bad on the stage than anywhere else no more bad wom en. It la Just this they are before the publio eye, their word and action is known to the publio, while with people in private life it Is not so." WANT PIPE ORGAN PUT AUDITORIUM The Professional Music Teachers' club yesterday submitted a petition to the publio auditorium commission urging that the commission provide for a new pipe organ In the proposed auditorium The petition states that the organiza tion has been Informed that there is a probability, that the pipe organ might be left out of the auditorium scheme in order to cut down the cost. The muslo lovers of the city, say the members of the club, regard the installation of the organ as being of paramount import ance.
