WILKEN For This Issue THE ART EXHIBIT Congested freight and express con ditions caused by the war have made it possible for the art department of the University to keep fully one-half of the annual January art exhibit over time. The department is giving stu dents the opportunity of seeing these pictures free of charge. Students worn out by the incessant round of work will be rested and re freshed by a quiet hour among these masterpieces. Artists do not paint pictures because they have to, they paint because they love the work. If the artist has en joyed painting his picture others will enjoy looking at It. There had to be something in the scene to inspire th3 author and he has woven his interpre tation into his work so that the ob server can receive inspiration also. Besides the cultural advantages one receives from such an exhibit, there are more, what many would term prac tical ones, to be gained. The student can get a definite idea of what places which he has never seen are like. Scenes of Venice, New York, the east, west, north, south, all are skillfully portrayed: For the most part the exhibit !s thoroughly American. The artists are all Americans and most of the scenes are American. The pictures represent a wide range of subject matter and show various kinds of technique. In a study of these masterpieces the student is enabled to get something of the author's outlook upon life. Lawton Parker, in his "La Paresse," which is valued at $6,000, is evidently interest ed particularly in color effects both of the figure and of the draperies. Espe cially remarkable is the effect of the light coming through the open window and the way the flesh is made to re flect the color. " Good pictures rank with good liter ature and good music. The opportun ity of learning how to appreciate good pictures is one of the best cultural ad vantages University life has to offer. LOBSTER FISHING (Painting by Jonas Lie) One of the painting of the an nual art exhibit. This picture represents three or four boats with men, fishing for lobster3. The boats are on a vast sea, near a lighthouse. In the background we can Bee the storm-driven clouds. I like the picture for wha't these representations suggest to me. I do not think that the name "Lobster Fish ing" is worthy of the picture. It should have been named in such a way so that we would get the larger meaning of the picture. "Lobster Fishing" is too specific and too common a notion to suggest any large Idea to our minds. Hence I paid little attention to the name of the picture, but I enjoyed very much what I saw in the picture. The vastaeHs of the sea, the storm tossed boats, staying within safe dis tance of the lighthouse, and the rolling clouds in the background, all appealed to me. To me the picture suggests a portion of the universe and not "Lob ster Fishing." I think that the pres ence of the fishermen adds interest to the picture. They suggest the human element In vast and powerful environ ment. I like the colors. The sea is repre sented by blue-green shades, the light house is grayish-blue and back of it the clouds are painted pale green. In con trast with these lighter colors, are rno darker colors of the boats and men. The boats are very dark brown, al most black, and on the light colored tea, they are clearly presented to the eye. I liked the picture just as soon as I saw it and before I knew who painted it. But now since I know It was Jonai Lie who painted it, I believe the pic ture means something more to me. For bow I associate this picture with his other works, for examplo, his "Bath ing Pool," which is a very good ex ample of natural scenory, well-exb cuted. C T. WOOL SAVING Thus far the public has not been aRked by the government to save on clothing 88 it has on food. That U because Herbert Hoover has appealed directly to the -housewife, while the commercial economy board has gone to mai-ufacturers of textiles, who have agreed to put cotton and shoddy into their cloth and eliminate yardage in ready-to-wear garments. About 10,000 yards a year may be saved by leaving oft cuffs, pockets, flaps, belts and superfluous plaits. Many dressmakers, tailors and fashion magazine people have pledged support toward this saving. Many well-known worsted mills, with reputations for high standard all-wool fabrics, have consented to add cotton and reclaimed wool to their goods. Final co-operation is now up to the consuming public. First, shoppers should accept the new war standards for quality of cloth and style of garment. Second, they should shop thoughtfully, so us to re lease man power, shipping space, and materials. Third, they should maka use of the agencies for assisting In war economy. One of these, open to women within reach by personal con ference and to others by mail, is the housewives' consulting bureau of the University of Washington home eco nomics department. Department fac ulty members may be consulted on the following topics: Care, repair, clean ing and remodeling of clothing, dyeing and removal of stains, purchase and testing of textiles; convenient kitch ens, home sanitation; diet in disease, children's dietaries; large quantity cooking; conservation recipes. Uni versity of Washington New Editor. THE COLLEGE STUDENT AND THE WAR By Herbert Hoover, United States Food Administrator (From the Patriotic News Service of the National Committee of Patriotic Societies, Washington, D. C.) To the college men of America I address myself with confidence, a con fidence born of unforgettable experi ence. In the relief of Belgium, most of the actual work of the Commission in the occupied territory was done by young American collegians. Each time a call was made for volunteers many more than asked for offered their serv ices. And those that were chosen per formed their duties, not only effective ly, but with a spirit of devotion that made their service beyond praise. They combined idealism and efficiency. It is the combination that moves the world forward. Today all the young college men of America face a special responsibility and duty. At no time in the world's history has the technically trained mind been at a higher premium. And this need for it and demand on it will continue after the war is over. Hence the young man in college is faced with a serious problem. He must ask him self: Is the immediate need of me by my country in my present stage of training greater than this need will be later, and when I have acquired a higher training? This is a question the clear answer to which cannot bo indicated for all by a single formula, because the young men in college find themselves under varying circum stances. Yet ai) answer in general terms of some helpfulness may be made. To the younger men, the lower class men, only beginning their professional training, I say: Keep on with your college wrok. If the war lasts long you will be needed more later than now; and you will be better qualified to fill the need then. If the war ends soon, there will still be urgent need for your help in the necessary great work of reconstruction and rehabili tation. The more advanced your train ing, the more mature your Judgment, the more valuable you will be. So try to prjssesB yourself in patience "and stick to your college work. To the upper classmen, I would say: Hold yourself ready to rc DIAJUU . Ill your country's present need at any moment. Where you see your way clear to make your training useful, do not hesitate to follow the way. But you, too, should remember that every additional month or semester of train ing will make you a more effective helper to your country In this time of its emergency, ever growing more crit ical. So be willing and ready to go out, but go in no thoughtless hurry, nor merely to satisfy the natural rest lessness of the moment. Finally, to both lower and upper classmen, and to the great army of American college and university graduates, I would say: The country looks to you for Justification of the advantages it has given or is now giv ing you. You are a privileged class. All special' privilege brings special re sponsibility and special duty. Yours is the advantage of the expanded mind and the uplifted spirit. Your knowl edge of the conditions and needs of your country, and your understanding of the real meaning of patriotism mould bo beyond those of the many lenlod your privilege. Therefore, your response to the call of your country s need should be quicker, more insistent, more persistent and moro ready to adapt Itself to any form of this need than that of the unprivileged many. You have already responded nobly to the call to the colors. But not all of you can now march to battle; not all of you should try to, but all who should not or cannot, and all who are sticking to their work of making them tclves fitter for their future service tan still serve, and serve now. There is very much that you can do right now. Our Food Supply I would call your attention to Just one of the many ways in which you can help, and help importantly. It Is the way to insuring the absolutely necessary food supply to ourselves, and to our allies. Especially must the matter of the food supply of our allies be stressed. The vital world problem of food Is not generally understood. The popular view Is too self-centered, too selfish to use an ugly word. It does not look across the sea. The back-wash of Europe's misery does not carry to our shores. We do not know, and hence cannot feel, the pangs of hunger, and nain of hunger weakness that are everywhere in Europe. They are pains felt by our allies as well as by our foes. We must make this known to nil mir neonle. that all our people may understand the great and indispensa ble and immediate role they must play in this all-important part of the war situation. You who can readily un derstand must help. You can impress on the people around you, and wherever you go, tha fact that the critical phase of the world food problem is now, not the Question of high or low prices, but the question of producing and saving and sending enough food to our allies to keep them alive and strong and stead fast in war. The critical question now in this war is the question of the actual physical strength of the fight ing nations. You can understand it, and you can explain it. You an help us let the Deonle of this country know that our allies depend absolutely on us to main tain their food supply. They, them selves, simpjy caniiot do it. If it is not done for them by us the end of the war is near, and it is a bad end, an inconceivably bad end. From every American college man the country ex pects the truest devotion, the truest patriotism and the highest service. And it will get it. You will give it.

JUNIOR LAWS UP IN ARMS (Continued from page one.) make answer but successively the prosecutors arose and argued their cause. Johnson, Carter and James ve hemently assaulted the crouching su perior and bo forceful were their speeches that it would seem the as sailed would at once be reeled from his throne. Some Sympathizers But over in yonder corner there sat two who were capable of seeing through the haze of conditions sur rounding this assault a possible ma licious design. With words express ing hearfelt sympathy for the inno cent the feminine voice pleaded: "It can happen to the best of us. This was his first fall and he still has seven chances for redemption." Then the veteran Boggs asserted that in the name of Justice the man against whom such charges were brought ought cer tainly to be allowed a word In his own defense. - The president took the platform and entered with a whirl upon the defense. There was one answer to all this dis turbance. One word would summarize the whole incentive of the charge but he used more Fraud, Politics, verily, Dirty Politics. His opponents had organized their forces with the malicious desgin of taking from an honorable man by dishonorable means the result of his years of toil. He said more, but with out effect except upon his two earnest supporters. The vote was cast. Some smiles mingled with a few glances indicating much mental anguish. Wallie E. Spear was impeached. A motion for an election of president to fill the va cancy was seconded and further elec tions followed. Some campaigning was seen to go on about the room. Obviously there was a political pull. Result Al Spear elected to the posi tion. All this because we have such strict rules in Evidence. STEWART ASKS FOR STUDENT SUPPORT (Continued from Page One) fund at Camp Dodge, to help provide for the entertainment of the soldiers there.
