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

Pity the Poor Pilgrim
What's wrong with this picture? Plenty! The poor pilgrims
didn't have any radios and that's tragedy enough for anyone.
They didn't have any KORE to bring them United Press,
Trans-Radio, Alka Seltzer and Local News; they couldn't
tune in KORE'S world-famous dance bands, its serials, music
and fine Mutual-Don Lee programs, its sportscasts and special
events.

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

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.

IN BIG CAMPAIGN
The busiest week In the Regis
ter-Guard's $7,000 prize campaign
looms ahead! 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.

"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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.
One wonders if the first Thanks
giving of the Colonists linked them
with the home they had left be
cause the wild turkey was sea
soned with herbs grown from those
they had brought across the ocean
