I do not know what could be more valuable than this semi nar. We have had access to a mine of information that simply has been beyond any money value. We have found Europe by no means tranquil. They have tre mendous unsolved problems and something is being done, but one is almost staggered to think what must be done before there can be any peace. We are here just two weeks after what was almost a revolution. This morning we saw, one of! the buildings that was burned by the mobs. L There certainly are powerful urces working in every nation for he establishment of a different l"Lt-i ami mnat rtf US have stopped congratulating ourselves that we do not have such things In America. Ours is a new nation and we will be extremely fortun ate If we avoid these same things when the shoe begins to pinch in our own country. The European church is. sorry to say, not alive to the situation In an respect. It is lost in for malism, tradition, and theology. These musty cathedrals, and it may seem strange to say so, make me feel that they are nothing but burial places full of dead men's bones. Much to the dismay of some other members of our party I have said that I would like to v nhnnt four-fifths of them"! and build either schools or mod ern Y. M. C. A.'s in their places. That never could be done how ever for these peopTe always think of religon in terms of the church. On the other hand we have many great things, to learn from Europe especially with regard to legislation for the protection of the working man. , The city of Vien- is especially progressive in this respect.. received my . appointment to that interna tional conference when I reached .New York and will go direct to it from , here They have set up a very attractive program including John R.-Mott, the chancellor of the Austrian republic, the Japanese, repuesen tative on the international labor council of the league of nations. Dr. Conrad Hoffman and others. At the same time .our seminar will be In session in Geneva, 1 wish that I could get both but that is impossible. 1 I shall be in New York tor the meeting of the National council of student associations during the first part of September and will be in Salem by the time school opens. I am writing to the cab inet members that are in Salem with regard to the program for, Freshman week which we set up in the spring. As I have been coming in conr tact with the European YMCA this fitromer I have been espee- Here's an act not on the big show program. ; It might aptly be called "Fool ishness Behind the Scenes." The clown, Pat Valdo, has just re ceived a "ring" from the fair equestrienne, M'lle Cottrell. Mean while "Toby" who plays the part of the telephone, snoozes on. There are lour distinct types of horses with the Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey combined shows this season. Toby is one of the eighty-two that are used by the bareback riders. Like most of the "rosin-backs" he is as gentle as a kitten. The forty used in menage and jumping numbers are of another breed. They include the sleek limbed, glossycoated equines who have been taught to perform, all sorts of intricate steps, not ex cepting the Charleston. They are the high-steppers and the posers of the whfte-tops. Others jump barriers eight feet high or clear groups of their fellows at a single bound. - A third type embraces the five troupes of Tartarian stallions that appear in a single display. This has been rendered possible by the introduction of two additional rings, maring a total of five big, circular enclosuses distributed down the length of the main tent. They represent the highly strung stars of equine-land. To handle a single company of twenty-four of these spirited animals is said to be a nerve-tingling task. There are five companies of them, each In charge of an expert trainer. The fourth type is found in the 200 horses used at one time in the "Fete of the Garlands." In style they are between the hlghschool breed and the liberty stallions. Each of the 200 is mounted by an adept horseman or horsewoman, richly costumed. The entire hip podrome track and the rings are required to give space enough to accommodate the drills and gallop ing maneuvers whi h they acconi plish in unison. The horse-show numbers are only a part of the big circus of 1927. Besides there are 800 aren ic champions, many performing animal acts, a hundred clowns and a menagerie of more than 1,000 rare beasts. Alt headed by Pa wah, the sacred white elephant of Burma, will be here Saturday Au gust 27. wen day period from leing the lightest from" the standpoint of announcement of new building ac tivities for some time. ' The outstanding feature of the week in building circles was the acceptance of bids for the new First Presbyterian church which is to be constructed at Chemeketa and North Winter streets, entail ing a "total expenditure of about $125,000, with work to commence on the building tomorrow. Dwelling permits for the week total $21,050, with a $600 expen diture on a shop announced, and repair work totaling $4,450. Permits to repair two dwellings were issued yesterday. C. E. Wagner asked permission to re pair a two story dwelling at. 605 North Sumner, the work to cost about'$l,000, and Karl Poppe ap plied for a permit to do some work on his two story dwelling at 352 North 21st street, to cost about $400. The work on the latter is to be done by J. R. Olmsted. Clinton O. Pitney received a permit yesterday to erect a one story dwelling at 2315 Claude street, at the corner of 23rd. in the Brooklyn addition. The cost will be about $2450, the permit shows. A one and a half story dwelling will be built at 2090 South High street, at the corner of Electric avenue, by H. C. Hummel, at a cost of about $4,000, according to a permit issued yesterday in the office of the city recorder. and MrsS. J.

In Prague for instance the YMCA is heading up what is perhaps the greatest and most far reaching venture in international good will that is being carried on in the world. Two thousand five hundred students from twenty different nationalities belong to the YMCA and there learn to co operate in work for the good of all. If I find that I can make good in my positions of president and chairman of the northwest council next year I would certain ly consider it as a life work. One thing I must not forget to do is pay a tribute to Sherwood Eddy, whom we have all come to love. He certainly had a chal lenging mind and an earnestner.s that is seldom found anywhere.
