Prof. Paul H. Grummann, head of
'be department of fine arts of the
inte university, returned Tuesday

can Federation of Art.
Between 800 and 1,000 people were
present, at the meetings. Included in
this number were museum directors,
famous artists, art directors, and
others of high rank in the world ot
ait. The meetings were held at the
Corcoran Art Gallery for the most
part, although one session congre
gated in the National Gallery. Smith
sonian institution.
On Thursday morning, by special
nvitation. President Harding reviewed
the artists in front of the white house
and on Thursday afternoon a recep
tion was held in the white house.
The convention closed Friday wan
dinner at Rauschers and very dis
tinguished delegates were heard at
that meeting, including the head of
the Pan American Union. All phases
cf art work were discussed. In addi
tion to the set papers there were a
great many very valuable informal dis
cussions and msny round table gather
ings were held on important topics
The convention devoted a considerable
amount of time to arts and crafts and
puiral painting.
Various collections were especially
thrown open to the visitors. A col
lection at the Smithsonian Institution,
of work done by American artists
during the war and on .war subjects
was very interesting. At this institu
tion there was also a collection of
drawings exhibited by the American
Institution of Architects and in that
exhibition Messrs. J. II. and Allan
McDonald of Omaha were represented
by the drawing that they had sub
mitted in the state house competition.
On Thursday evening the conven

Congress, where they viewed a col
lection of Whistleriana recently pre
sented to the Library of Congress by
Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Tennell, famous
sketcher. Mr. and Mrs. Pennell were
present at the reception and added a
great deal to the interest of the occa
sion. .Considerable interest was mani
fested in the western office at Lincoln
and the direct irs have decided to con
tinue that office here and have added
to our territory Washington and Ore
gon, so that all of the territory west
cf the Missouri, except California and
Texas is now included in this terri
tory. A 6trong movement is being made
to hold the next convention at St.
Ixmis. The directors considered the
matter very carefully and finally in
trusted the next meeting place to the
executive committee. The president
of the association is Mr. Robert De
Frost, president of the Metropolitan
Museum in New York. Mr. Charles
L. Hutchinson, president of the Chi
cago Art Institute, is first vice-president,

snake dance down R street to Six
teenth and then over to O where
several of the confectionery stores
have "hand-outs" of punch and cigars.
All traffic was blocked for nearly an
hour while the Enake dance con
tinued. Every theatre in town was
visited.
This event in years past has been
a source of constant worry to street
car conductors and confectionery
store proprietors. This year it was
left totally in the hands of the stu
dents and was conducted in as orderly
fashion as possible.
' After the parade the "shirt-tailers"
proceeded to the drill campus where
a bon fire was built and about twenty
"student life" sections of the Corn
husker were thrown in as a protest
of the Btudent body against Its libel

FARMERS ASK FOR HELP
OF AGRICULTURAL CULLEGE
They Want Assistance in Designing
Modern Homesteads Chore Re
duction Theor Object.
Scores of Nebraska farmers are
asking the state college of agriculture
to assist them design modern farm
steads, their intention being to con
struct permanent farm plants, instead
of moving to town. More than 100
special plans have been made by the
college's extensions service for men
who wish to build up a lasting farm
stead, and an average of one call a
week is received for the regular stock
plans carried by the college.
In many instances farmers ask for
farmstead plans providing for two
houses as they desire to eventually
turn over the active management of
the place to a on and retire to a
modern home on the farm. In fact so
many calls of ' this kind have been
rece.ved that some of the college men
believe there is now a definite senti
ment among farmers to stay on the
farm after they quit work.
In the designing of farmstead plans
which include kit buiniini and their
location the college emphasizes mod
em equipment and economy of labor
in doing chores. In the location of
the different buildings, most farmers
are interested first of all in reducing
their chores.
Reduce Chores.
"Farmers consider chores the dead
end of the day's work," says I. D.
Wood, extension engineer. "They are
more interested in arranging build
ings so as to reduce the chces than
they are in the economy of the build
ings. A good many consider chores of
no profit: they are something that
have to be done, and the fanners
want them done as easily and quickly
as possible."
In order to obtain ideas on reduc
ing the labor of chores the extension
service sent out a man with a pedo
meter to tag farmers around. In one
instance he found a farmer walking
a mile a day farther than necessary
in doing his chores. This meant an
extra 365 miles of walking a year, or
more than 10,000 miles in thirty
years.
The college, in making farmstead
plans, attempts to place the buildings
according to the order of doing the
chores. For instance, if the farmer
feeds his horses the first thing in
the morning the barn should be the
first reached on his rounds. If he
feeds the hogs next the hog house
should follow the barn. The buildings
are arranged around a rectangle so
the farmer will be back near the
house at breakfast time, and there is
no retracing nor crossing of paths.
UNIVERSITY TO CLOSE
ON DECORATION DAY
The University announces that all
offices and class rooms will be closed
on Decoration day with the exception
that examinations will be Tield for
those students, who recite at 8 o'clock
and at 1 o'clock. The major portion
of the students have their classes at
other hours. It was found to be abso-
lutely impossible to arrange a work
ing schedule of examinations leaving
Decoration day absolutely free with
out postponing commencement one
dSy.
Hereafter the schedule committee
will endeavor to arrange such a
rchedule that every activity of the
University can be closed on Decora
tion day.

Above is the composer and authors
of the ten musical numbers which
featured the Kosniet Klub's produc
tion. "The Most Prime Minister."
Howard C. Adamson. '24. and Kathleen
Doyle Hailigan. '10, wrote the lyrics,
and Wilbur C. Chenoweth. one of
Lincoln's most promising young musi
cians composed the beautiful melodies
which have been said to surpass any
thing of their kind in previous pro
ductions. Kvery one of the ten musical num
bers of the play were well received,
and two or three scored a tremendous
success. The numbers "Kaloa" and
' Its Your Wonderful Smile" have
been published and are on sale at
Walts. Ross P. Cu-tice, and Crancers.
The sale of these songs have far sur
passed all expectations, and it is very
probable that they will be old to ojt

try in the near future.

REV. DEAN R. LELAND
WILL REMAIN IN LINCOLN
Rev. Dean R. Leland. student pas
tor of the Presbyterian church at the
University of Nebraska, has decided
not fo accept the offer of a similar
position with much higher salary at
the University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Leland returned Thursday
morning from Winona lake. Wis
where he has been attending the gen
eral assembly of the Presbyterian
church. While there he consulted
with the members of the general
board of education, under which his
work in Nebraska is conducted. It
was the opinion of Dr. Iceland and his
advisers that it would be doubtful
wisdom for him to leave a work
where he had estabished close rela
tions with student and church life.
In considering the two posi'ions Dr.
Leland found striking contrasts. In
so large a city as Philadelphia, the
intimate contact would be lost in per
sonal work with students. The close
relations with the church in a city
like Lincoln was also a deciding fac
tor with Dr. Leland.
JUNIOR-ALUMNI BASEBALL
GAME IS POSTPONED
The junior-alumni baseball game at
the W. A. A. picnic was called on
account of darkness with a score of

pire. Miss Louise Pound, called a
stop. The alumni. team took the lead
and at the beginning of the third
inning the score was 9-2. The juniors
picked up and tied in the semi-darkness,
and were playing good ball.
Ruby Damme who was filling out on
the alumni team was the only slugger
in tne Pame ho made a home run

OR. NEWBOLD TO SPEAK
TO HONORARY SOCIETIES
Address to Be Given Before Members
of Sigma XI and Phi Beta
Kappa.
Dr. William Romaine Newbold of
the University of Pennsylvania, de
cipherer of a newly discovered Rogei
Bacon manuscript and a lecturer of
much prominence, will give the Phi
Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi lectures
at the University of Nebraska, Friday
and Saturday. May 27 and 2S. at the
Temple theatre at 8 p. m.
The discoveries of Dr. Newbold
have the highest significance, and in
his two lectures he will tell many in
teresting and instructive points in
connection with his findings. The
fiif-t lecture will be on the "History of
the Cipher," illustrated with about
twenty slides. The second will have
to do with the discoveries in astron
omy and biology which are recorded
in the Bacon manuscript and will be
illustrated with a large number of
slides in color.
Interesting to note, in connection
with Prof. W. R. Newbold, is the fact
liht the University of Nebraska li
brary contains a special library gath
ered by Professor Newbold. This is
a collection of philosophical classics
numbering about lo0 volumes. It is
largely the first or early editions and
j includes works of Aristotle. Bruno.
! Discartes and others.
AMERICAN LEGION PLANS
MEMORIAL DAY ACTIVITIES
The executive committee of Lincoln
Post, No. 3, the American Legion, met
Wednesday evening at the office of
Commander Fawell.
Among other matters of business
considered by the committee was the
program for Memorial day and the
part to be taken by the American
Legion. It was proposed by several
members to have airplanes fly over
the cemetery and drop flowers upon
ihe graves of veterans as a part of
the day's ceremonies. In view of the
settled policy of the Legion not to
take the Initiative in Memorial day
exercises but to follow and co-operate
with the G. A. R. the proposal was
negatived.
It was considered by the committee
that to drop flowers from airplanes
as proposed would be a departure
from the program arranged by the
G. A. R. and an encroachment upon
the right of Civil war veterans to de
termine the nature nad character of
exercises to be held on the day es
tablished and preserved by them as
Memorial day.
It was voted by the committee to
use whatever funds were necessary
to insure the success of the Pershing
banquet on June 3,. tickets for which
are being reserved by letters and
telegrams from ex-service men in
every part of the state.
