Three of her brothers were in the French army and two nev er returned from the battlefield. "The most impressive day o war ta me," said Mile. Coqblin, "was, the day when war was de clared. The people were not thinking of war; we were dancing and enjoying life. Then at noon the bells began to toll. At first we thought some natfonal officer had died. We suspected some great calamity had occurred. Soon' we knew, an what we learned was the ' worst possible new. Afterwards we became ac customed to anything, but that first day" Mile. Coqblin paused and clasped her hands tightly "I will never for get the tolling of those bells." Mile.

The total amount of building represented by the per mits issued last week is $8,780, the lowest week since spring: During the week before a total of $26,800 was represented in the building permits issued. City re corder Poulsen gives as the rea son for the big decrease the fact that as winter advances, the building of homes is naturally curtailed, nd.no permits were Is sued during the week for com mercial establishments. - ' The cement has now" been filled jato the walls of the new T.

' ':' - leave. We departed at nieht. tak ing with us only a few clothes. some family papers and an Old shawl which had belonged to my grandmother's grandmother in the days x)t Napoleon. Por some rea son, I don't know why, my mother threw this over her shoulders It i3 all we have today of that old home. We buried our silver in the garden, but when my brother returned to St. Quentin soon after the war he could wot find it. St. Quentin was half destroyed in the battle of the Marne, " From St. Quentin the French family moved to Paris. The grandmother could not' stand the shock of leaving her home. She lost her mind and died soon after the family arrived in Paris. My brother was a captain in tne battle of the Marne," said Mile. Coqblin. "He had attend edthe- national . military school In r oniainDieau. When I came to Cornell University after the war" she smiled and lifted her hands excitedly " I found a student who had lived in the same room with my brother at Fontainbleau. WasnH that nice?" Mile. Coqblin spent two years in the United States before com ing to Eugene, one as a student at Cornell University, the other as a French ( teacher at Brjn Mawr. She is 'a rather short girl and slender, with dark brown hair that curls around her face and large brown eyes which change their expression continu ously as she talks. ' ? We. lived in Paris six months." she continued. -"Much of the time we could hear the noise of the battle, and we could see the eastern sky lighted as if by a I great fire. I remember the night of July 13, 1917. We could not sleep that night. It was all so terrible." She gave the French pronounciation of the last word and dropped v her hands despair ingly. "Finally the winter came an we had no coal and not enough to eat. ' For two months we lived on potatoes. For two years I ate which we obtained at the chem ist's. v 'tMy mother was a member of the French Red Cross. She was a manager in a hospital and there she met an American officer who later cma to our home to have supper with us every Saturday night. When I came to the Unit ed ; States I visited him and his family in Cleveland: they were lovely to me." "You know," Mile. Coqblin's eyes became misty for the first time, "I had two brothers who were lost in the war. My mother is still waiting for them to come home." She paused; then add ed. ''I do not speak of it. I am young now again, tout I grew old, during' those four years, waiting for news." After living in Paris for six months Mile. Coqblin and her family were obliged to move south again. They went this time to Nevers to the home of her an cestors. "Certainly ,the comfort able and charming American houses are much different from that old home of ours at Nevers with its large rooms, its vast chimneys and its Gothic win dows," said the French girl. "In the winter time it is rather cold in spite of half a tree burning on the fireplace. It is very charm ing once a year, however, when my brother and I gather our friends, asking them to come dressed in some medieval cos tume." Mile. Coqblin's father is a prof fessor at Nevers college. The family were living there when the news of the armistice reached them. "Oh that day!" exclaimed the French girl. "I never saw a day like that day. The boy and girl students ran down the streets hand in hand sinking songs. We do not do that often in France. The firing ceased at 11 or 12 o'clock and the news reached us about 3 o'clock. They could not h'jld us in the school room." Speaking of her two years in America, Mile. Coqblin said: "Travel makes roe kinder and broader minded. I like the of every nationality. I like the West, and I owe to the University of Oregon Women's League the opportunity to enjoy one year's study here, and 1 am very grate ful for it." Minister Says Secret of Care Free Life Is in God CHICAGO The secret of a carefree life is to put it in line with God's purpose, declared Dr. Henry Hdward of Melbourne. Aus tralia, in an address on ''Don't Worry," opening the nineteenth season of the Sunday Evening club. -.x Christ's cure for a worried life is explained in His words: 'Seek ye first the Kinkdom of God and His righteousness and all these things (what you eat and drink and wear) shall be added to you'," Dr. Howard said. "Every one who has stood tip to life has left its worry, stress and strain. But the way out from worry does not lie along the line of escape from work. "The birds and flowers to which Christ referred as carefree, are among the busiest of God's creatures. The work translated 'toil" does not mean 'work. but work plus worry. First of all stand right with Him. This will swing life into harmony by putting it on the rails of God's permanent way, any everything life needs will come along the lines of fulfilled relations to Him as Master and was the greatest talker during the laet session of Parliament, his speeches consisting of 145,000 words, filling 309 columns of the official report, said the Parliamen tary Gazette.
