From Friday's Iaily
One of the pleasant social gather-
ings of the late fall season was the
pre-Thanksgiving dinner given by
Mrs. J. H. Donnelly at her home in
Omaha to the members of the Birth
day club of this city and in which
the ladies had as their guests Mrs.
Frank H. Dunbar and Mrs. Merner, 1
of Long Beach. California, who has
been here as the guest of her cousins,
the Misses Mia and Barbara Gering.
The ladies were first entertained
at a matinee party at the Brandela
theatre, where they witnessed the
performance of "The First Year," one
of the season's most delightful come-,
dies that has been presented in Om-'
aha. After the theatre party, the
ladies adjourned to the pleasant home

Last night the dcors closed on th
four days' carnival that has been
staged at the roller rick by the Hugh

and a source of entertainment to the

an unqualified success.
The big feature of the evening,
i which had been looked lorwaru to uy
all those having cha

awarding of the Ford touring car
which was offered by the Legion and
on which many had chances. This
event was held at the close of the
evening and several hundred re
mained to witness the drawing. The
stubs of the tickets sold, each bear
ing the name of the purchaser were
placed in a glass bowl and stirred as
much as possible to insure the thoro
mixing of the numbers, a committee
composed of John F. Gorder, John
Bauer and V. T. Arn then took the
bowl to the stage where four little
girls, selected from the crowd, as
sisted them by drawing the numbers.
Four numbers were drawn first and
placed in a box and from these four
two were picked that were to be the
final contestants for the car and from
these two the one winning number

were keenly interested to find the

The entertainment features of the
closing night were particularly fine
as they embraced the singing of Lu

who has been heard so delightfully
during the carnival, the singing of

SOME EXCELLENT WORK
From Thursday's raily
Those who have had tTie opportun
ity of viewing the excellent Armis
tice day window at the Thierolf
clothing store have been very much
impressed by the excellent work
shown in the cartoons and drawings
that were used in the window and
many have wondered as to the iden
tity of the artist who drew them.
They are the handiwork of Jack
Uhlik, one of the students of the
Plattsmouth high school and who has
an unusual amount of talent for this
line of work that should in . future
yeans assist him to success, as he has
an ambition to follow this profes
sion cf designer and cartoonist. The
young man has learned what he has
of the work in the courses in the
local school and certainly has made
a splendid showing for his limited
training and his years.

PENSIONS AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF NE
BRASKA IN FORCE
Five Men at State School For More
Than 30 Years Receive $1,750
a Year Without Working.
The status of the veteran profes
sor at the university or .Nebraska 13
. explained by Chanc ellor Avery in an
I artic le in the University Journal for
750 a year. "We have no specific
act of the legislature as a legal basis)
for it," writes the chancellor, 'and
the regents are not committed to it
in the future. It is just something I
we have been doing, are doing, and
with the support of the alumni will
continue to do."
The chancellor states that the plan
was devised without formal action on
tPe part oi any one, in order to en-
hance the value of positions in the
university and as an act of simple
justice to the veteran nrofessor. If!
the health of the latter is good, he is
, expected to be in residence every oth-
,er semester or every ye&Tf to
(perhaps some elective work, to c '"i-
- uct -graduate courses; or to devot
his time to study and research. The
chancellor has unlimited authority
to excuse him from such service

devote time to study o research at
some other institution. His name is
retained in the faculty list. He has
the entree to all meetings and a
voice in all faculty matters.
The plan has been found to work
well. One of the five on this basis
has returned from time to time and
done full work. One or two others
are able to do just about half time
work. Two for health reasons have
done little or no work for the last
year or two. Nebraska's plan is said
to meet with favor at other instltu-
tions and to have been adoDted in
of action of the legislature of 1909.
