Not Even the Sundae
is Allowed a Cherry
BAN AFTER THE FIRST OF
THE NEW YEAR.

Even the innocent and dainty mar
aschino cherry, which is used to top
the cone of a merry widow sundae
will be under the ban after the first of
the year. Because they have been
stepped in liquor they are included
in the list of things intoxicating, ac-
cording To leading authorities on the
new prohibition law The cherries
are grown in oregon, packed in brine
at the eanneries and then shipped TO
Califoria where they are put through
an alcoholic liquor process.
Druggists will not be permitted to
use cherry or other wines as vehicles
for physicians prescriptions nor can
they use whisky for like purposes, ac-
Cording to these same authorities. If
a physician thinks his patient must
haveR whisky then he must provide il
himself according to the governing
interpretations. The druggist can
only sell ethyl alcohol and then every
individual salesman in the store who
expects to furnish this alcohol must
furnish a bond Of $500.

LOCAL AUDIENCE ENJOYS
THE U. OF 0. GLEE CLUB
TWO HOURS OF SONG APPRECI
ATED AT OREGON THEATER
LAST NIGHT.

Two hours of song were enjoyed last

gathered at the Oregon Theater for
the annual concert of the University
OF Oregon Glee Club. From the cur
tain raiser "Oh. Oregon" to the final
number "As | Sit and Dream at Eve
ming" both classics Of the institution
that inspired them the program was
a meritorious one, ranging as it did
from ragtime "rah rah" stuff to am
bilious classical selections
The club this year numbers some
unusually good talent and in another
year, when the underclassmen develop
a little more finish, the college should
have one Of the best clubs Of its his
TRY. If any criticism can be made Of
the program Of last evening II arises
from the shortage Of numbers full Of
the pep and ginger" which somehow
or other the average public expects
from a bunch of collegians. The glee
men last evening had several oppor-
tunities to inject this punch in the
program and their failure TO respond
when further encores were demanded
was distinct disappointment to
many.
The club carries this year an eXcep-
tionally strong list Of solosts. Topping
them all is Albert J. Gillette, Jr, the
wonderful young baritone Of Eugene
whose voice should prove his fortune.
He sang the Prologue from PA
gliacci" in Italian last evening in real
grand opera style and this and his
one encore number did not half salts
fy the audience. In fact many would
be glad If the university would send
out young Gillette all by himself that
they might enjoy a whole evening Of
him.
The first solo number on the enter
tainment last evening was a baritone
selection. Schumann's "The Two
Grenadiers" by Harold Humbert and
it. too. deserves more than passing
mention. John A. Black sang a bass
solo, "The Mighty Deep" and. while
his voice lacks volume, its quality
