SCOTT SPEAKS TO ENGINEERS History of Portland Cement Traced Down to Present Time . GIVES ILLUSTRATED TALK "Many of our modern improve ments would still be unknown but for the invention . of Portland ce ment a century ago," stated H. A. Scott in his illustrated story of the manufacture of cement, at the meet ing of the American Society of Civil Engineers ' Friday morning. He traced the history of cement frorr early times down to the present. A crude cementing material was invented by Joseph Aspdin, mason of Leeds, England, in 1824. The Thames river channel, 1828, and the London drainage works of 1859, are early instances of its use. It was first made in the United States in 1872, the Drexel building in Phila delphia being the first- great sky scraper to use American Portland ce ment There are now 140 plants operating in 29 states, and in 1924 they shipped 145,747,000 barrels of the material. Finer Than Flour "Commonly made from solid rock, cement is actually finer than the flour your grocer sells," stated the speaker. "To secure this result, un ique manufacturing processes are employed. After its manufacture, it is shipped to the user in sacks that are tied before they are filled." The standard product is made from a variety of materials, Mr. Scott explained, by either of two pro cesses the wet or the dry process. The raw materials are hammered into powder, burned in a huge rotary kiln, subjected to intense heat of 2, 500 to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The resulting clinkers are then ground into cement. Eleven chemi cal and physical tests are then made to insure standard qualities. Will Hold Tryouts For Wrestling Meet Tryouts for the Missouri dual wrestling meet on January 30 will be held Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.

Bishop Waldorf Says Students Should Prepare For Profession "You have no business to spend four vears at the University with out knowinir what vou are eroing to do and where, you are going," said Bishop E. L. Waldorf in his lecture on "Dreams" to students at the Uni versity of Missouri. In the sentence "Behold this dreamer cometh, Bishop Waldorf po'nted out the relation or two oi the words "dreamer cometh. A dreamer is always coming," said the Bishop. "It is the one who doesn t dream who stays still. "There are two kinds of dreams day dreams and night dreams. Once it was thought that night dream were sent from God, and attempts were made to interpret them. Rob ert Louis Stevenson claimed that one-fourth of his books came to him in dreams. The perfected sewing marhinfi was the result of a dream of savages who had spears pierced at the ends. Julia Ward nowe dreamed at nights the words of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Day Dreams Best "But day dreams are best. A day dream is a plan worked out in colors; it is an idea with a blue print; it is the unreached, the unattained. "A day dreamer has his head in the clouds, and his feet on the earth; his yjs are on the stars, out hi hands are on the plow. It is the Chinese Woman Held in Y. W.C.A.

LOCAL ARTISTS GIVE PROGRAM Sponsored by Lincoln Branch Of American Association Of University Women FOR SCHOLARSHIP FUND The Lincoln branch of the Ameri can Association of University Wo men entertained with a benefit mu- sicale at the home of Mrs. Carlisle Logan-Jones Saturday afternoon. The proceeds will be used for the lo cal scholarship fund. The commit tee in charge of the benefit was Mrs. Philo M. Buck, chairman; Mrs. Will Owen Jones, and Mrs. Van B. Smith. A group of Lincoln artists made up the program which included a group of songs by Mr. Roy Wall, baritone, accompanied by Miss Mar guerite Klinker, and selections by the Harmonique Trio, composed of Mrs. August Molzer, violin, Miss Lil lion Eich, violin cello, and Mrs. Ed ith Burlingim Ross, piano. Award Made Each Semester The scholarship fund committee, of which Miss Gertrude Jones is the chairman, awards fifty dollars each semester to the University woman they consider most deserving. Can didates for the fund must submit a written application to the committee, showing they have a fair record in scholarship, are interested in gener al college activities and are of soph omore or junior standing. The names of two faculty members who will recommend the applicant, and one home town friend who is compe tent to judge the woman's ability, must be attached to the blanks. The musicale program was as fol lows: Seechi Lungi dal caro bene Arr. by Lane Wilson When Dull v Care Handel ....Recitative and Aria from "Rinaldo' Roy Wall Cadman Trio in D Major Harmonique Tro Gertrude Ross Roundup Lullaby Arr. by Robinson ...Water Boy Head The Sea Gypsy vision of a destination, hitched to a task, that makes success. "Day dreams are valuable. There is no memorial anywhere to one who was not a dreamer. The abolition' of slavery, airplanes, the telegraph all are the results of dreams, and we accord honor to the dreamers. "If you would see what the world is coming to, slip up behind the dreamers and see what they are dreaming. Then you will see what -ill come to pass. "Your college education is a fail ure if you come out on stilts. Find glory and divinity in common people. Do some commonplace thing un commonly wH. "Dreams costly. Dreamers have been scolied at, ridiculed, mar tyred; but dreams are worth all they cost. Joseph, the dreamer, saved a nation; Daniel led hundreds to wor ship the one God; Christ lifted a world to God. Have not their dreams, costly as they were, been worth while?" He was introduced by, President Straton D. Brooks of the Universi ty, who wa3 instrumental in having him brought to Columbia by the Y. M. C. A.

Position First by Grace Coppocfz Misi Ting Shu Ching Is Appointed National Executive Secretary in Chinai First Native Woman To Hold Position As a sucessor in the office once held by Miss Grace Coppock, a Ne braska graduate, Miss Ting Shu Ching has been appointed as the first Chinese woman who has been nation al executive secretary of the Y. W C. A. in China. She has been pre ceded in office by Miss Rosalie Ven able woman, and Miss Grace Cop pock, whom Nebraska women havo supported. Mission work in China was com paratively undeveloped when Miss Coppock went into the field. There were no local associations at all. Miss Coppock organized the first as sociations and many others thereaf ter. From work in three districts, it spread to twelve. During her life time she made possible the growth of the native staff from two to forty nine Chinese secretaries. The local bodies were then united into the national of which Miss Cop pock became the national general secretary. At the time of her death she was succeeded by Miss Rosalie Venable, whose position has now been taken by Miss Ching. Miss Ching, in filling the office once held by Miss Coppock, has written to Miss Erma Appleby, sec retary of the University Y. W. C. A. : "I hope that our Association may become flexible to meet the women of this country in what they feel is their point of greatest need their home life; that our organization, having recently tried as never before to adjust itself to Chinese life, may this year emerge from that inevitable period of questioning into a great new strength, which shall count for the social and religious rennaissance of China; I wish that as the original conception of 'missions' may grow into the wider conception of the 'one friendly world', the Christian women of China may give back more and more out of the treasure of our own civiliation to the western countries which give to us." Nebraska women have supported the work of Miss Coppock since 1912. After her death they maintained Miss Vera Barger in the foreign fields. The money is raised by a campus subscription each spring.

Meet Com ing in February GOOD TIME IN EVENTS With good time in several of the events for so early in tho Reason, and a fairly large number of men an swering the call for tho first tryouts by Coach Henry F. Schultc, the Hus- ker track mentor, the preliminary trials for the Kansas City Athletic Club meet, to be held February 5, were very successful. Captain Locke featured in the 50-yard dush, win ning easily in spite of a slight leg in jury; Wyatt, besides placing sec ond in the first hent of the 60-yard dash, won the first heat of the 440 yard race when he covered the quar ter mile in 53.1 seconds, for the best time of the day. Wirsig, joint holder of the Varsity pole-vault, cleared the bar at 12 feet. Rhodes, who was second, has the other claim to record. Johnson, star of the freshman team last year, led two veterans, Jack Ross and James Lewis, to the tape in the half mile running the event in 2 minutes 5.5 seconds. Zimmerman, Varsity two miler of last season, led the milers to the tape, running the distance race in 4 minutes 48.7 seconds. Searle and Lawson, of the 1925 har rier squad, were second and third. Tie in High Jump Crocker and Joe Weir were the outstanding performers in the high jump, but were unable to clear the bar at better than 5 feet 6 3-4 inches. Crocker winning. Krimmelmyer took first in the shot-put, heaving the six teen pound weight 42 feet 2 inches. Locke won two of the dashes, and the third heat was won by Davenport, another of last season's freshmen, Locke was not entered in this event. Bill Hein, sprint star of the last two seasons was nosed out just at the finish. Ed Weir did not compete in any of the Friday events though he did suit up. Roberts, a promising half miler of the freshman squad last spring was also on the sick list and did not run. Barr, with the time of 55.9 seconds, and Soderberg with the same in the second heat were the other two quarter-mile winners. However, Tappan and Ballah in the fast heat showed good form. In the shot put, Hurd, a former student, and present member of the police force, took second place, with Mol zen third. Another Trial Next Thursday The javelin and discus men work ed out on the indoor devices, but no outdoor workouts were held.

Two Freshmen at University of Wisconsin "See America" on Skis (The Daily Cardinal) j Two freshmen who came to the University of Wisconsin from Nor way last September have just dis covered America. They did it riding on skis at Lake Placid, N. Y., a week ago when they represented the University in an inter-college ski and skating tourney in which they won thirteen of eighteen points for their team and tied for first place with the University of New Hampshire. Overnight almost they have be come famous on the campus and off. Two unobtrusive f rosh are thereforq rubbing their eyes wondering what movie offers, fratrnity bids, news paper interviews, and all really mean anyhow in this country they have jv it discovered. Of course they are pretty good- skiers even in Norway where skis are as necessary as sus penders, but neither Hans Troye or Knute Dahl can quite .comprehend all this fuss. Discovered by Coach Kay Iverson, coach of outdoor sports at the University of Wiscon sin, early this winter found out that the two boys could ski well and he naturally took then along to the Lake Placid meet where a team of five en tered competition with some 20 odd colleges in Canada and the United States. Hans Troye, of squat build, and a Harold Lloyd smile, climbed to Prospective Teachers Should Register Soon Any University student seek ing a teaching postion should reg ister in the Bureau of Educa tional Service at as early a date as possible. Calls for fall work will be coming in within the next thirty days and it requires about that length of time to prepare credentials for use. The Bureau of Educational Ser vice is at the disposal of all Uni versity students, past or present, regardless of the college which the student may be matriculated with. Calls for service are not confined to public school positions only. Many requests are received from colleges, normal schools, junior colleges, agricultural schools and industrial plants. If in need of employment, confer with tho di rector, Room 305, Teachers' College. PLAN CHARTER DAY, PROGRAM Complete Tentative Plans for Observing Fifty-Seventh Anniversary BROADCAST OVER KFAB Tentative plans for the observance of Univeisity Charter Day, on Febru ary 15, the fifty-seventh anniversary of the day on which the bill charter ing the University was passed by the legislature and signed by Governor Butler, have been completed by Rob ert F. Craig, '24, for the University alumni association. The program will be broadcast over both the Nebraska Buick sta tion, KFAB in Lincoln, and the West ing house station, KFKX at Hastings, from 8:05 in the evening to 2 o'clock in the morning. One of the features of the program will be the ringing of the old University Hall bell, which years ago called students to classes and chapel, announced football vic tories, and was the butt of scores of student pranks. The University band and other University musical organizations will provide music, and the University riayers will give a short play. Among the speakers will be: Governor Adam McMullen, Chancellor Samuel Avery, Regent George N. Seymour, Presi dent Martha Kline Huffman and Sec retary Harold Holtz of the Univer sity Alumni Association, Dean O. J. Ferguson, Dean Amanda Heppner, Professor Clara Conklin, Prof. F. M. Fling, Prof. M. M. Fogg, Prof. Law rence Fossler, Prof. Louise Pound, Judge E. P. Holmes, Student Pastor Dean R. Leland, Coaeh Ernest E. Bearg, Captain Ed Weir, and Wilbur C. Peterson, editor of The Nebraska Alumnus. Over 400 Alumni Life Members i The total number of life member ships in the University alumni as sociation has passed the 400 mark as a result of several memberships received during the past two weeks. Of the total number, 173 have been ith received since last July 1. . Visitors at Geology Office E. P. Fhilbriek, '23, E. E. Linde blad, '17, C. B.

He did it so well that they gave him first place. He got a lot of violent handshakes and the biggest loving cup he had ever seen in his life. "When they pushed that big silve? pail into my hands," he says, "I could hardly believe it. All my Nor wegian trophies looked like thimbles in comparison. Knute Dahl is shorter than Hansk and much more bashful but an un easy rascal when he gets on cross country skis. Well, they put him on a pair of them in the seven mile race and although he started out seventh he came in five yards behind the first .starter. "Gosh," he grinned bashfully, "I was sure I'd beat that guy." At any rate he won the run and Hans Troye came in second, making eight points for the two of them there alone. And they gave Knute a cup as big as the "pail" his room mate had received in the other race. But that was not all. . The boys got into the movies too.

The game was slow and un interesting and the fifteen hundred people that packed the Armory were seldom given a thrill. Both teams played a defensive game, seldon shooting until they had worked the ball well up under the basket. The Nebraska defense was work ing in a smooth fashion and it was not until the second half was well under way that the Tioncers were able to score more than one field goal. Half time found the Huskers leading 8 to 5. After the first few? minutes of play Nebraska was never in danger. Brown, Nebraska floor guard, was the outstanding player of the game. He contributed six of the Husker's points and played a wonderful floor game, time and agin breaking up the Grinnell offense by intercepting the ball. Lawson, his running mate, smothered the Grinnell forwards and hurried their shooting until they be came erratic. He shared the defen sive honors with Brown. Smaha came up to his last season's form for the first time this year, shooting five field goals which made him high point man for the eame. His floor work was exceptionally fine, and the only fault to find with his playing was his tendency to shoot when men closer to the basket were open. Elliott and Presnell. two of the youngsters on the squad, contributed eight points to the Nebraska total. Elliott caged two field goals and a free throw, while Presnell accounted for a goal from the field and one from the foul line. Doffing, bespectacled Pioneer for ward, played the best ball for the Iowa team, scoring twice from the field, and once on a foul. Moran. the star of the Grinnell quintet, could not get to going, perhaps be cause of a broken nose he suffered the previous night in the game with the Kansas Aggies. He wore a steel brace over his face to protect the injured member. Doffing likewise wore a guard to protect his glasses. Grinnell was the first to score when Doffing cnged a neat basket from the side of the court. Brown tied the count with a fairly long shot and Elliott put the Huskers in thq lead by sinking one from under the basket. Doffing made the score stand 4 to 3 by sinking a free throw on Eckstrom's foul. Smaha put the Huskers farther in the lead by ma king two baskets in rapid succession. Chase and Mark of Grinnell made the remaining points of the first half each shooting a free throw. Smaha opened the second half with a pretty basket from the side of the floor and he was followed by Brown with an identical shot from the opposite side of the court. Mark scored the Pioneer's first points of the second half with a field goal. Presnell, who had been sent in at forward, caged a neat goal from un derneath the basket and Smaha fol lowed with his fourth basket of the game. Doffing scored Grinnell's third goal from tho field when he made a difficult shot from the side. Brown put Nebraska ten points to the good by ringing one from under neath the hoop and Smaha added two more points to the total with his fifth basket. On Wing's foul Presnell added another point. Elliott made the score read 24 to 9 with a free toss on Moran's foul and a neat basket caged from the center of the (Continued on Page Four.)
