THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE. OREGON wwa.-a -fc. j T U. S. Housing Authority W ill JN ot Compete w ltn rnvate puuaing ind ns I T! WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 W Nathan Straus, administrator of the United States housing author ity, assured the United States chamber of commerce's housing conference this week the author ity's program would not compete with the private building indus try. He told 300 representatives of the building Industry and cham bers of commerce, assembled to consider means of stimulating private construction, that "no com petition with private industry is contemplated by me or, if I read the law right, Is even possible under the act." Straus, called by President Roosevelt to direct the $500,000, 000 program authorized by the Wagner-Steagall housing act, said the authority's activities would be directed entirely at re-housing slum dwellers. Not for Few Families "We want to use our funds, not to house a few families In ideal homes, but to house as many slum dwellers as possible in decent homes," he said. Gerrish Gassaway, secretary of the Wilmington, Del, chamber of commerce, said the conference should demand that the govern ment restrict itself to the field of providing housing for sub-normal income groups. The government, Gassaway as serted, should "get out of those unsound, unwise and unsuccessful ventures such as subsistence homesteads greenbelts, Tugwell towns and PWA apartments that intrude in a competitive field and discourage, dislocate and destroy private enterprise and Initiative." The president should ask labor, he said, to "accept the responsi bility of assuring the buying pub lic that projects once started will not be delayed and disrupted by labor disputes and strikes." Excessive Taxes, Costs John Mowbray of Baltimore, chairman of the housing commit tee of the national association of real estate boards, blamed "un reasonable taxes and excessive interest rates" for high housing costs. He said In an address pre pared for the conference that if these costs stay up, "government TV ! iccoraTiv?, SKruta IVihiiimhwi 11 i i n 1 mr-mi irnmJ Pity the Poor Pilgrim What's wrong with this picture?

Mowbray estimated that the an nual Income value of all real property, was about six billion dollars and said the taxes on It totaled four and one-half billion a year. The conference was called by the chamber to seek ways of sti mulating residential construction, one proposal by President Roose velt for checkmating the present business recession. Wilson Compton, secretary of the national lumber manufactur ers association, told the 300 at tending that while building costs had gone up, technological im provements had more than kept pace and the buyer now got "ton per cent more house for the dollar" than he did 10 years ago.

Xmas Show Due On Wednesday Traveling in a car of the famous "tear-drop" design with free candy and a magic show for all Eugene and Springfield kiddies, the annual Shell Christmas show will visit these cities on Wednesday, Nov. 24. Scientific wonders, never before revealed on the stage, will afford youngsters a glimpse of what the future holds in store. And that popular "funniest of funny men" Joey, the clown will be on the stage, too. Growing a tree from seed, freez ing water by breathing on it, changing water to milk and milk to soda pop, are just a few of the feats of magic starthngly staged in this year's show. A company of professional entertainers will perform the feats during the Shell show which is making its fifth annual appearance in Eugene. Santa Clnus, himself, with free candy for all children witnessing the show will draw the gala event to a close. The truck will appear In Springfield on the main street at 4:30 p. m. In Eugene, the itin erary is as follows: Edison school, 22nd and Emerald streets, 5:30 p. m.; Washington school. Seventh and High streets, 6 p. m.; White aker school, Clark and Grand streets, 6:30 p. m.; Lincoln school, Eighth and Monroe streets, 7 p. m.; and Frances Willard school, Thir teenth and Olive streets, 7:30 p. m. The show will also be presented on the same day in Creswell at 3:30 p. m. Arrangements for the appearance here were made by E. W. Day, Eugene manager for the Shell Oil company. If the earth were thrown out of the universe, its going would have no noticeable effect on anything in the sky, except the moon, which would be dragged along with it.

The new double of fer $175 in extra cash prizes and 90,000 extra votes has precipitated an avalanche of enthusiasm that is setting new records throughout the territory. Substantial gains are shown in the vote columns as they appear again in this Issue. The count rep resents votes held for publication up to the closing hour Saturday night. New candidates are listed, too, making their debut with a goodly number of votes to their credit. Surprises have been sprung by a number of late starters. Within the past few days several men and women have rushed forward from almost nothing to a position among the leading contenders. Incident ally, the same thing is possible for others in today's list who have but their original nomination credit of 2,000 votes. Only a few subscrip tions will suffice to move any can didate up to the top. Some districts have only a few workers, and this should suggest to others in these districts the splen did opportunity they have of forg ing ahead and winning a prize. Four latest model motor cars are soon to be given away. They will be so distributed that every can didate in the list has an opportun ity to win any one of the four grand prize automobiles. It is quite probable that both city and country candidates will be repre sented by automobile winners, and every one of the three districts have cash prizes of their own $100 $75 $50 $25 in eash. For the rest, substantial commission checks of 20 per cent are to be paid. Any one. who really tries is sure to receive a return commen surate with the effort put forth. There will be no losers. Just now, there is a special rea son for entering the campaign. All new paid in advance subscriptions, In clubs of $15, earn 90,000 extra votes, and only new subscriptions are eligible for the big cash offer. The first extra cash prize of $100 will be awarded to the candidate who leads the field in the total sum of new paid in advance subscrip tions turned in by 9 p. m., Satur day, Nov. 27. The next highest will receive $50 in cash and to the runner up or the third highest $25 will be awarded. To sum it up, new subscriptions will win the ex tra added cash during this special period and 90,000 extra votes for every $15 club turned in during this special offer these votes ob tained will add considerably to ward winning the automobiles when the campaign ends Dec. 18. A word of caution is offered can didates. In writing out your orders for subscriptions in your order books and on remittance sheets care should be taken to give the complete address of the subscriber, so that there will be no delay in starting delivery service of the paper. Dr. Royal Gick To Attend Meet Dr. Royal Gick, Eugene, will de vote a week in December to at tending the Pacific Northwest Con gress of Optometry at Portland. This meeting, according to ad vices received by Dr. Gick will be most outstanding of all similar meetings held in the United States in many years because of the sub ject matter to be covered and the leaders in the field of optometry who will conduct the five-day sem inar. The congress Is not Just a con vention of several hundred optom etrists of the Pacific coast, but a school of Instruction where special ists bring the latest findings in their fields of work In all parts of the country into the spotlight for the benefit of the northwest eye sight specialists and educators who meet with them. Principal lectures will be deliv ered by Dr. A. M. Skeffington of St. Louis. Theme of the seminar is a subject of primary interest among school authorities the study of the "reading problem" as it concerns the effects of eyesight on advancing or retarding progress of children in school. A pound avoirdupois Is heavier than a troy pound, but the troy ounce is heavier than the avoirdu pois ounce. REMODEL NCW get your GLASS From Fuicrnc's Only Exclusive Glass House Home Gardener Roses, Clematis, Grape Vines Should Be Planted Now By MARIE FLETCHER "Because I have been given much, I, too, shall give; Because of Thy great bounty, Lord, Each day I live I shall divide my gifts from Thee With every brother that I see Who has the need of help from Because I have been sheltered, fed, Bv Thy good care, I cannot see another's lack And I not share My glowing fire, my loaf of bread, My roofs safe shelter overhead, That he, too, may be comforted. Because love has been lavished so Upon me, Lord. A wealth I know that was not meant For me to hoard. I shall give love to those in need, The cold and hungry clothe and feed, Thus shall I show my thanks in deed. Grace Noll Crowell Not all men have been able, even with perserverance and dili gence, to develop a business which can be called a success a com plete success. Fewer men have found their offspring willing to lend a hearing ear when the in vitation is given them to be come members of the firm. Just how many men could as F. B. Chase can look out upon all the members of his family happily enlisted in carrying on the busi ness begun by him a generation ago and then be able, at a mo ment's wish to step from his threshold into the homo of any one of them. More than that, num bers of his kindred have found their way into allied lines of growing things. Pearl Buck could write another Good Earth if she should look around Eugene a bit, a happier one. Last week's Farm, Home and Garden section of the Oregonian had several items of importance that should be repeated for those who may not have seen them. Roses, clematis, grape vines, heather should all be planted this month. Use bone meal or bal anced fertilizer for grapes; peat moss or decayed pine needles for heather; put clematis in limey or neutral soil. It seems that recent Investiga tions are upsetting some convic tions held hitherto concerning the growing of tulips: If tulips are exposed to heat, inferior bloom will result, and now bulbs are being shipped In dry, refrigerated cars. Do not allow the bulbs in temperature above 70 degrees. Do not plant until the ground is cool all bulbs should be In by this time. Use no fertilizer when planting, no bone meal, no or ganic fertilizer. This is directly contrary to past practice. If the soil for planting bulbs is not highly alkaline, use lime, 25 pounds to 1,000 square feet. "Finishing lime" is best, it has magnesia content also. For forc ing for large blooms, apply in organic fertilizer liberally when the first buds show in the spring. Soil, summer moisture and care of bulbs are all important items in production of satisfactory tulip blooms. . Something new In sprays has been discovered as a result of ex periments that have been in prog ress since 1933, In the state of Washington. "Addition of oelie acid, kero sene or mineral oil and an or ganic chemical known as trieth anolmlne, in certain quantities, serves to increase the quantity of insecticide that sticks to the fruit and protects it against in sect attack. "Dynamite sprays," the Pacific N. W. calls these sprays, known also as "Inverted sprays." The water runs off the fruit leaving the insecticide on fruit and foliage. Winner Will Be Announced Later According to Nathan Rubensteln. of the Rubensteln Furniture com pany, the winner of their old wash ing machine contest cannot be an nounced until Wednesday of next week. Three of the oldest machines entered were purchased during the same month so a close Investigation win nave to be made to determine the exact date of purchase. The winner of this contest will be awarded a new Maytag washer by Rubensteln's. The modern automobile Is only 8 per cent efficient, with regard to energy in fuel put to useful work. RUSSIAN ARTIST'S PICTURES ATTRACT CAMPUS ATTENTION Now on exhibit In the "little art gallery" at the university art school is a group of oil paintings by the Russian artist, Alexey Jawlencky. Before the World war Jawlen sky resigned his commission as captain in the Russian army and joined the "Blue Riders" or "Blue Knights," a group of expression ist artists, in Munich. Later four of this group: Paul Klee, Swiss-German; Dr. Lyonel Feinineer. American; W. Kaden- sky, Russian; and Jawlensky broke away from the group. This small group became known as the "Blue Four." Feininger has taught at Mills college summer sessions for the past two years. Last summer and this fall he has had an exhibit in the civic galleries of San Fran cisco. The ideas or philosophy of the group was created by Kadensky, who is, perhaps, the best known of the group. They felt that color alone just as' definitely as musical sounds produce emotional states of mind could be used to create a reaction on the eyes, nerves, and emotions of the observer. Instead of using the photogra phic likeness and realistic color, the group used color to express their emotional reactions to the subject. They also felt they could better portray the character and personality of the subject through the abstract use of color. The majority of the oils in the exhibit are portraits. This may be due to the fact that Jawlensky was a portrait painter before breaking away from the accepted theory of painting of his time. These paintings show well the artist's theory of painting. The combination of colors and the use of straight lines for facial fea tures can be expressed by the words, "weird", or "eerie." Even in those paintings portraying most faithfully the exact likness of the subject, the artist uses greens, purples, reds, oranges and blacks instead of the natural coloring. In the more abstract portraits straight lines are used to show facial features. The "little art gallery" Is open from two to five o'clock on Sun days and from nine to four-thirty during the week.

De cide, now, that next Thanks giving will find you enjoying modern home heating and com fort! By calling us in to esti mate Heating and Plumbing for you NOW1 Herb Gardening By MARIE FLETCHER "Now autumn goes In purple and crimson Uvery. The year that has been dying will soon be free be free. Beyond the gates of sunset what loveliness may be! Oh, not with sorrow passes the ancient, leaf-strewn year. She goes in jubilation, devoid of haunting fear. How rich are all the hills today, when shadows disappear! Thus I must don deep raiment on some autumnal day, And, dreaming like November, find sieep wnnout delay; I with my banners flying, I too must be away. And when the gold bars, fading, serene, august and still, Lure me to cross their ramparts, urged on by some strange will I shall know peace, and beauty, beyond the last high hill. Charles Hanson Towne Here !s Mrs. Rosetta Clarkson's recipe for a herbal tomato cock tail. It will set any lagging aDDe- tite to galloping: Pour a tin of tomato juice into a bowl that will fit into the refrigerator; stir in a teaspoonful of basil, one of savory ana one ol tarragon. Add a pinch of salt, of sweet marjoram, of thyme, and a tablespoon of sugar. bet aside lor ten or twelve hours, Just before serving mix in a couple ot taDiespoons ol chopped chives, the same amount of lemon and of orange juice. Guaranteed for new and interesting flavors. Instead of the usual sage, do try summer savory for seasoning the turkey. A large onion, a cupful of cnopped celery, flaked bread crumbs and the savory to suit the taste. When all the in-law daugh ters of a family agree that summer savory is superior to any other seasoning for turkey, any doubting Thomas should feel bold enough to venture! For best results the herbs should be growing on the window sill or in the garden right by the kitchen door. The subject of herbs Is "catch ing on" vigorously of late and the recipes offered in some quarters suggest the use of six or eight herbs in one seasoning. It is to be noted that the chefs whose names count for meals that linger in memory are not so generous in va riety, certainly not in quantity. Subtlety and suggestiveness are the desideratum. The last letter of the Herb So ciety of America quoted from a letter of a member who had gone into the seasoning game with zest. After the guests had gone, her little daughter's query was: "Moth er, did you really want to enter tain those people tonight or did you just want to try out a new recipe?" The husband s comment was even more enlightening: "When you start cooking the gas plant I will eat at the automat. A recent guest at this column's table who also enjoys basil in stewed tomatoes remarked "I like this but I wouldn't use it so freely for some one who hasn't tried it!" Did we say "subtlety?" But en thusiasm also. Three herbs is a good limit to stay by for use at one time, for "herb bouquets" especially.
