she is the mother Of the resulting

Popular Color Even Extends 70 the
Realm Of the Fashionable Eve
ming Gowns.

The present vogue for brown prom
ises to continue through next spring.
The very dark shade known as tete
de negre is accorded especial prOmi-
nence in the advance groupings Of
spring frocks now on view in many
of the smart shops.
The all brown evening or dance
frOck, especially if made Of taffeta and
a sheer, yet crisp material, such as
tulle, is lovely. There are so many
shades Of brown that practically every
woman may wear it, and to the woman
who has a touch Of red in her hair
brown is especially becoming.
In considering evening gowns black
must not be overlooked. Black net,
tulle or lace, is the ideal fabric, of
course, with n bit Of jet as a brighten
ing touch. With the black evening
gown. black slippers with silver or
gold colored heels are decidedly chic.

HOW THE FARM LOAN ACT
HELPS THE FARMERS
Paper read by Guy Houston before

citation, Chicago.)

The Federal Farm Loan Act, as
passed and approved July II, '16, is
an act to provide capital for agricul-
tural development. Until that date,
the United States was the only civil
Red country in the world that exer-
clsed no control whatever over farm
loans or did not provide in some way
ior long time credit for farmers. The
aeeo OF such credit had been appar-
eht Tor many years and, in the alb
sence of any control, there had grown
up IN this country abuses of which

Jit stands a good chance for a
place as there is no other man on
the coast who can approach him in
the two mile. There will be no two
mile event in the Olympic games,
the nearest to that being a three

race, but as he will have a good two

that he will make a good showing

at 10 feet 9-16 inches.
The expenses of Jit and Jenne to

the Athletic Association will be able
to stand this, but if not the student
body will be asked to contribute.

Jenne and Smith to Go With Doc
to Olympic Tryouts at Pasa-
dena June %
By Al Merritt

Doc Boiler was appointed a mem-
Der of the Olympic tryout commit
tee by the American Collegiate Ath-
letic association and is the only one
on the Pacific coast to receive such
an appointment so far This ap-
pOintment shows what the athletic
world thinks of Docs abmility and
judgment as a coach and trainer.
Doc has the reputation of putting
out some of the best men on the
cost, such as Nelson, who still holds
the record in the 100-yard dash and
the 220-yard dash, and COOL, the
great miller, Nelson would probably
have competed in the last Olympics,
but his wife was sick at the time,
necessitating Nelson's stay at home
Doc now has two men who will
compete in the preliminaries for the
American team to take part in the
Olympics. Jenne, who now holds the
record in the pole vault in the North
west and the Coast conferences, and
Jit Smith, who holds the record in
the two-mile event in the same class
will leave for Pasadena about the
goth of June to try out for the Olym-
pic team on the 26th of the same
month. They will start their train
ing the first of the week with Doc
Boiler at their trainer.
Tribute Paid Boiler
Doc has been head of the athletic
department at the State College for
IL years and is considered the best
coach on the Pacific coast. Last
year the Oregonian gave feature
story on the Oregon coach and also
on Doc Boiler who was given credit
for being the best coach in the
Northwest Though Doc has received
no definite orders concerning his ap-
pointment, it is likely that he will
go to Pasadena at the tim time that
Jit Smith and Jenne leave. Docs
special duties are to watch and deal
with the college men who are to try
out for the team.
There will probably be six men
picked in the pole vault to represent
America in the meet, four of these
to be picked by their vaulting at the
time of the tryout and two by their
past records. The reason for this Is
that man might be little off form
at the time of the tryout but if his
past record is exceptionally good he
will stand a chance anyway. JENNIE,
therefore stands a mighty good
