MARCH , 17, 1920., SENIORS WREST LING WITH SOLUTION Of WO R LO S TROUBLES , Seniors majoring in economics at Reed college are writing graduation theses that will solve the high cost of living-, stock and bond fluctua ? tions, panics, profiteering, and many - other of the world's ills. Economics seminar work under Profetwor Hud son Bridge Hastings is proving one of the moat practical of Reed's sen ior research courses, seven students beinff engaged in investigating defi nite topics of industrial and finan cial interest. Dorolhy Poor, a senior of Burlingame. Cp1 is writjnmr on the effect of novelty advertising, window displays, luxurious rfHtroom. and other overhead expenses on the Helling price of staple goods. Ilazef Murray, whose ability In eco nomics irave Jier the position of unit trfamirer of all student funds at' Reed. is delving Into a similar subject from the -f groceryman s standpoint. ! &EES FISATfCIAL CRISIS I Elbert Charman, who was circulation , manager for Stars and Stripes overseas. e. uncovering the causes of financial panic?, and he sneaks authoritatively of the 'next one, which he predicts Is fast approaching. Herbert Huff backs up the panic talk with his thesis facts that deal with the value of money, and the rise and fall of Wall Street quotations. Frank Scott. also an overseas man. is pre paring an v expose of spruce production, with Its enormous war' profits. Arthur House of .Hood River Is accumulating facts for a thesis upon apple unions In Oregon. Majorle Fulton of Alhambra. Cal.. Is enlivening seminary discussion with queries as to the actual economic value of a college education, and the probable chance of graduates finding positions in their chosen fields. Miss Fulton Is pre paring questionnaires to be answered hy Keed professors, former graduates and - Portland business men and she will en rtravor to prove that business training should accompany 'every course at Reed. .MAT PIBMSH BESflTS The "econ majors" as they are called, meet once a week, and in" animated dis- - cussion present the results of their week's research. With little help from their professor, they are seeking koIu tibns to the problems that have puzzled people fo- centuries, and It is probable that some material contribution to the field of economics will result. Accord- . tnp to Professor Hastings some of the theses may be published In the national Journal of economics. Southern Pacific's Operating Features Beinglnvestigated Checking up operation and making a general Inspection tour of the Southern Pacific lines In Oregon, K. L. Burck halter, newly appointed assistant gen eral manarer of the Northern division of the Southern Pacific, arrived in Portland, Tuesday. . This is the first visit of Burckhalter since the. roads were returned to pri vate ownership. He will make a trip over the Tillamook and Marshfleld branches before returning to San Fran cisco. Because the roads are still in a period of transition, definite plans for the Northern district office have not been completed, according to a state ment by Burckhalter. We Give S. & H.

Assistant District Forester C. J. Buck announced this morning. Klk lake is an unusually attractive mountain lake, being reached from Bend via Crane Prairie! one of the largest hlKh mountain pieces of meadow land in the 'state. The road has been extended up Snow creek to Lava lakes and Elk lake, within a mile of the summit of the Cascades, directly west of Bachelor Butte and Horse mountain. The lake is noted for its fishing and scenic at traction, it Is only a short distance from the proposed Skyline road which Is being 'discussed as following the moun tain chain through the state. The lake Is ,'OdO feet In elevation and of volcanic origin. The forest service expects to send man .over the region in an airplane to get an Impresnloii of the summit before laying out further plans for development of the lake. J. W. McBride, a Spokane mining engineer, has placed before the Port of Portland, tne commission of pub lic docks and the Chamber of Com merce a proposal for the development I of a coal mine about 25 miles from Chehalls, Wash., as a means of se curing a large supply of low-priced coal for Portland. - McBride Is one of the owners of the mine and represents the majority. According to statements placed by McBride before the, public bodies, test tunnels indicate the presence of more than 250,000,000 tons of bituminous or near-bituminous coal underlying a property of approximately 1200 acres. The coal, he says, can be laid down In Portland at a cost basis of $3 a ton. The coal can be used for steam ing and coking as well as for other Industrial and domestic purposes. Judg ing by test samples which the mining J engineer has exhibited.' it is nis Deuei that with control of such a supply sliaps could be coaled In Portland at an average of S5600 a ship less than on Puget Sound. He also believes that coke derived from the coal could be I used to marked advantage in the smelting of middle grade Iron ores found abundantly in the vicinity of Portland. The mine is 98 . miles from Portland. No railroad as yet reaches it. but rail transportation is said to have been extended to within a com paratively short distance. The freight rate from the region would be less than to Puget Sound cities. McBride has also brought the de posit to the attention of the ports of Astoria and Vancouver. So far as could be learned this morning, steps toward expert examina tion of the mine have yet to be taken by the port commission, the dock com mission or the Chamber of Commerce. hickory WAIST AND GARTERS Reed College Up To Snuff on 'Good Reading Material Rev. W. T. McElveen of the First Con gregational church will never again charge need college with lagging be hind. The divine learned a lesson Mon day when he addressed Reed chapel goers and declared that "Portland min isters had read the latest book on the war. Keyne's 'Economic Consequences of the War." and the Manchester Guard ian. Great Britain's leading paper, but that Reed college had never seen either publication.'-' Had McElveen seen the facial expres sion of Miss Ruth B. Compton. Reed librarian, he would have realized his mistake. As it -was, when he sat down with the Reed faculty for lunch he saw In the center of the table several copies of the Manchester Ouardian and Keyne's recent war book which had been or dered for Professor Charles McKlnley of the Reed politics department a month before It had gone to press. McElveen'a remarks about Reed were uttered to prove the progressiveness of the Christian ministry which, he claimed, surpasses even that of educational Institutions.
