I have been taking a few min
utes now and then to drop my
friends just a line, ao here is
yours. 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.

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..

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

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.

ially struck with its vitality and
ability to sense real need. 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.
Cordially yours,
James C. Rettie.
