and Great Britain for the exchange of
commodities and the use OF tonnage.
DR.. Nansen. in an interview on

OregOn's Part,

Eugene Guard: Every one knows
that one of the stars in the American
flag represents Oregon, but few, and
very few at that, know which one be-
longs to us. Every state in the
Union has its own individual and par
ticular star and its placement on the
square Of blue definitely regulated
by law and executive order.
Oregon can aesily be located on
the flag-the fifth star down the left
hand side. In 1912, on the 26th day
of October, the last executive order
concerning the flag was made and IL
provided for the specific arrangement
of the stars They were to be ar
ranged in six horizontal rows Of eight
stars each. Starting in the upper left
hand corner and placing each row
from left to right, the star corre-
spending to each state is named in
the order of the states ratification
of the constitution.
Thus star No. 1, In the upper left
hand corner, is for Delaware, Star
No. As, in the lower right hand cor
ner, Is for Arizona.

Trained Engineers
In Eager Demand

How much greater than the supply
Is the present demand for trained
engineers, is explained by Professor
Mccullough as follows:
Europe is calling for 10000
trained American engineers to meet
the present military situation, and
will no doubt need many times this
number.
"Not only during the present war
but during the long period of recon-
struction following 1t, engineers and
engineering talent will be in greater
demand than ever before in the his
tory Of nations-that upon American
engineers will in large measure de-
volve the task of rebuilding devas-
tated Europe.
"And so great is the need for
American engineering talent in Eu-
rope that the great universities there
are offering, as an inducement to
American engineering graduates,
81 900 scholarships for further study
and research.
"Thus at the Oregon Agricultural
College, alone, the demand this
spring for graduates to fill engineer
ing positions exceeded the available
supply by two to three hundred per
cent.
"Our nations industrial activities
are now thrown entirely on their own
resources Without the aid we have
received heretofore from scientific
Europe, the nation is now forced to
look to her own engineers for the So
luton of her manifold industrial
problems. Cost reduction methods,
efficiency engineering, scientific in
vestigation and research, these are
the activities which are creating a
demand for the services of the en-
gineer
"The field Of munitlon manufac-
ture, the conversion of our water
power resources into electrical ener-
gy. the reclamation of our lands for
agricultural purposes, the electrified
tion Of our railway facilities, the san
itatlon of our newly established in
dustrial sites, these are but few of
the many opportunities for engineer
ing activity in civil life.
