At n recent meeting of Internation- t Lyceum and Chautauqua Associa 1 held In Chicago, the members of the Association went on record as fa voring the principles for which the Washington Conference "ras ceiled and pledged themselves to a program to promote world peace by helping America understand the problems which confront the Conference. Ac cordingly, the President of the As sociation has sent out a rail to every apeaker to give part of their time from each platform in telling their au diences of the aims of the Conference and to urge the people to take a firm stand in asking the President of the United States through their Senators and Representatives to do everything within their power to bring not only a Limitation of Armament, but a i plete disarmament No greater agency could he employed in this cause, as thousands of thinking and women, not only in the cities, but in isolated districts, will have the ap portunity of hearing capable, sincere and learned speakers discuss this greatest of all American or world problems. ' In the letter addressed to the Pres ident of the International Lyceum and Chautauqua Association, Preai dent Harding writes: "Knowing as-1 do the capacity of the members of your association for the making of in- telligent public sentiment, I believe you can best serve your government by spreading accurate information which will promote international good will, based uuon mutual understand' ing, It is a great thing to have the medium of apeaking to ten mil lions of Americans annually, and you will have an exceptional opportunity to present such information as will enable your audiences to fully under stand the economic and political con ditions of all the nations concerned, Your Assciation can do much for the making of such gobd-will in our own land and doubtless develop a helpful reflex in other lands." The Ellison-White Lyceum and Chautauqua Association of Portland, Oregon, as a member of the Interna tional Lyceum and Chautauqua Asso ciation has already put the campaign into operation and their lecturers throughout the thirteen Western States, Western Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are making pleas at every opportunity for permanent and lasting peace. CARVED DfisKs SHOULD BE A RELIC OF PAST By Edith V. Weed Furniture resembling ancient totem- poles will be permanently banished from the buildings at the University of Oregon, if punishment for destruc tive carving will have the desired ef fect.

"Jim my Gilbert '03" was found, neatly carved on one of the desks. Dr. Gil bert, who is now in charge of one of the departments on the University campus and other students committing disrespectful acts to the furniture re ceived notice of their misdemeanor calling upon them to pay for the cost of having them removed. All classes have been urged to dts' continue this practice as it is expected that the new furniture will remain without a blemish. . CO-EDS' BALL AT 0. A. C.

SMITH. At Chicago's great fire when that city was almost wiped off from the map a mother returned at midnight to find her child left to the merciless flames A tramp, hearing the agonii ing screams of the mother to save her child grabbed a "ong rope and rushed through the crowd and flames to the fourth story and throwing a blanket over the child lowered it with great rapidity to the ground where it was saved, bift lost his own life In the he roic adventure, I have .called this poem, "Wild Drunken Bill." Ok tfc foaled leaninv flare Of heightened flame with luri? TTgfit The frightful scene of a burning! square And hour IS dead of night. Pate anxious faces hover round And engines play their hose in vain A mother held by strong hands bound To keep her from the burning flame. "Oh, mmm, you will come, I know," A voice calls tremulously wild "Oh men, Oh beasts, Oh let me go And save my burning child." The strong hands tighten on her wrist The mother pants with feverish breath To plunge into that hot abyss Were even worse than death. Then reeling", staggering through the crowd, , Half bent his form his hair half gray Amid the jeerings long and loud Sftrbde drunken Bill m wild array. He heeded not their words of scorn That were thrust at hfm as he past by His eye was fixed on a crouching form. His ear heard but the mother's cry. Come back, you drunken fool," they isaid, None earthly tie to the child can give No, let him go, he is better dead And is not fit to live. t will save that child, you shall all see Though I may stop in there Hut there's no mother to weep for me And no one else to care." His pace had quickened to a run They shouted for him to halt Leaving the crowd palsied, dumb He rushed into the vault. A long rope dangled from his arm His face was ghastly white He seemed to realize no harm As he disappeared from sight. All breathless now the esger crowd Stares at the glaring flame The mother kneels and sobs aloud And scoffers cower in shame Not a word was spoke above a breath And blanched was every cheek Oh, who eould brave that firs fiend desth Lips moved but none could speak. What awful pending fate Is there Low murmurs the ghastly crowd For now suspended in the sir Half hid by tnt smoky cloud Swings a little child by strong Cord bound Descends through increasing flame i But ere the child has reached the orouruf The cord la burned in twain. coanLU 10DKM.1B Entertainment Committee Sets Date and Will Meet Saturday Night to Make Further Plana. Beaverton Commercial Club will hold a dan on the night of Febru ary 18. Such was the decision of the entertainment committee at Its meet ing Wednesday night. The dance will be a delightful affair. Prises from tho country store will b given at the door and the prises will be well worth win ning. Soma of them will be real prises such as a sack of flour, a ham or other articles of value. Othetri will be good for a laugh and will help to make the evening pass merrily, U is planned to have a punch bowl and other tight refreshments, but the coffee and cake and sandwich part of the lunch will be left but If present plans are carried out. The dance will be more fully adver tised in the near future and nest week's paper will carry full details of the committee plans. But the holder stands behind the vale For a paasing moment seea Haggard and warn and pal Then hid by the fiery screen. The muffled child with smothered crys Is swept from the burning wreck And little arms and tearful eyes Sob round Its mother's neck. Above the roar distinct and clear Is heard a deafening yell "Oh I I can never die in here, This Is too much like hell." HarkI that heavy thud on the other side Like the fall of a burning bran Mortals that thud will soon divide The soul from the fellow man. From the frightful height tike a me teor star He leaped through the- flames' wild play Though mortally injured by tile jar He dragged himself away. Blistered his face, his hands snd feet Burned were his clothes and breast He staggered away to a lonely street Unconscious, felt prone to rest. He asked no thanks, no tearful eye To ben o'er his shapetess form He wished to be left alone to dl Away from their words of scorn. Yes they breathed a prayer e'en the scoffvs bowed And the burning wreck fell fast Rekindling spangled the fleecy cloud Spurred on by the tempest blast Was it snde4 'twas dead ths lurid And they searched for the bones of Bill While Ih the street enacted another scene That makes my life blood chill. Pass on, said a man on whose turbu lent brow Command In hot passion was gather ing fast, Let this culprit be taken to jail even now, Let this crowd be dispersed, pans on, strangers, pass. 'Twas a servant of law gave ths hasty command: A policeman they knew by the star on hi breast. But the slow clumsy crowd made a firmer stand And crowdr came in silence and joined with th rest. A stretcher was brought snd Bill wan and pale All speechless ih pain and stricken by death Was hurried sway, away to the Jail, His heart throbs grew fainter and fainter his breath. But when the gray walla of the jail loomed in 3irht Rill had left them, they found that they carried his clay And those who had carried him seised with a fright i Then summoned the coroner to give in their say. , , The wise men looked wiser and gased at the dead For one man in truth was Bill's aged sire And ha was the one who came for ward and said 'That deceased had coma to his death by fire."
