Russian-born Woman Tells Tragic
And Mclodramic Story of Life
Editor's Note: In the pursu
ance of their assignments stu
dents of journalism often come
across bits of life that are quite
foreign to campus routine. In
teresting and sometimes trag
ic these Incidents are as stray
beams from life's windows. Such
is the following interview.
Alter, the Arabs left me-Istrvs
K'ed on, living on grass for three
weeks. I had no pass-ports, and in
Russia you need a pass-port every
where you go.
"I would rather face a Siberian
wolf than those terrible Russian offi
cials," she said sharply and rather
unexpectedly. "So I prayed to God
and told him I had no pass-port, but
he said, Tear not, I am with thee'.
After that the faces of the officials
did not seem so fierce, and when
they asked me if I had a pass-port
j said, "Yea, a pass-port all the way
to Hea'-sn', and they didn't even ask
to see it.
'It's no trouble travelling If you
belong to God. Some things are un
pleasant, but all is for the best," she

hound race last night Although
Don Krause, a member of Sigma Phi
'Epsilori,"Tlnlshecr first and Mays fin
ished sixth, Mays gained extra points
by finding of one of the red sacks.
About a hundred men competed in
the race which covered a course of
about three miles. The course was
laid out over hills, through fields and
down the roads. It took the men
but a short time to finish this race
as the trial was lost but infrequently,
Coach Schulte was in charge of the
hunners, and Jimmy Lewis started
them off. Each man who finished
the race was given a point plus the
number he made from placing highi
Another race is to run next week,
covering probably a longer course,
The first twenty who placed last
night, are given below, and the num

child, only to find her husband had
received news of her escape and was
on board the same ship.
"He was etill a brute, and made
me own him as my husband. We
landed In New York and went to
live among the Germans. I wanted
to go live where everybody was
American so-4-co'ildJlearn. tneEng

to."
Mrs. Holofkof continued with her
story. "I learned German before I
did English. I prayed to the Lord to
help me, and I learned to read end
write German in one night. English
was harder, but I learned to speak
in a month almost as well as I do
now. I went to an American school
when I was 22, with the little tots."
And she laughed long at the thought
of it.
"I couldn't read from the texts,
but I could read the words in the
Bible, so I read from the Bible. It
was hard for me to say 'teeth' or
both'. The th sound I couldn't get
until my teacher told me to put a,

that I got It all right I can do any
thing after I've seen It done once,"

The nominee for sophomore pres

Sociology Professor Tells Cosmopoli
tan Club of Universal
Attitudes
"There is no group whose interest
is so universal and whose thought is
so absorbed in questions of interna
tional politics, religion and social
life, than is the Cosmopolitan Club cf
the University," declared Dr. Hattie
Plum Williams, the sociology depart
ment of the University, in a lecture
before the Cosmopolitan Club in the
Temple.
"Cosmopolitanism has gone
through a process of evolution. The
evolution of cosmopolitanism was
preceded by the idea of a universal
deity," the speaker declared. Doctor
Williams traced cosmopolitan de
velopment from as far back as his
tory is recorded to the present day. A
revival of cosmopolitanism has re
sulted in modern times as a result of
better methods of travel and com
munication. Doctor Williams said, in conclu
sion, that each member should strive,
in a true sense, to be a citizen of the
world.
Professor Lantz Outlines Boy Scout
Movement in University Radio Talk
"It would be safe to etate, without
fear of contradiction, that there has
never been a program so universally

Prof. E. W. Lantz of the Teacher's
College faculty in a radio address
over the University station yesterday
afternoon.
"eftKerationalifyV nor religion

traditions, or taboos, so intimately

seriously to Impede the rapid spread
of Scout movement," he continued.
"Some of the strongest of the Na
tional men's clubs such as Rotary,
Kh'nis Lions, Optimists and others
'inve given their support and co-operation
in order to mike it possible
for the purposes and objectives of
the movement to be more nearly re
alized and to bring a larger number
of boys under the influence of
scouting.

Merle Jones, '28, Omaha, bested

of representing Nebraska as chair

AYERY BEGINS RESEARCH
Ex-Chancellor Takes Up Work in
Chemistry Department
Ex-Chancellor Avery has returned
to the university faculty and has
started work in the chemistry depart
ment. Room 205 in Chemistry hall
has been fitted up as his laboratory
his health has recovered sufficiently
so that he is able to work several
hours every day.
In December 1908 the regents
called Doctor Avery from the Chem
istry department and asked him to
act as chancellor. At that time he
was conducting research work which
he intended to finish but never found
time for it while he vas chancellor.
Just recently the regents conferred
up ExChancellor Avery the title of
Chancellor-Emeritus and Professor of
Research in Chemistry. He is now
taking up the work which he left eff
in 1908. His research work is In or
ganic chemistry.
Dr. Avery reports that he is in
much better health and is enjoying
his work.
While in many small communities a
very large proportion of the boys
have already joined the movement, it
appears that in many of the lare-er
cities and In the rural communities a
very small percentage of the clk-ibla
boys are actually identified with
scouting," Mr. Lantr suggested.
Scout Leaders
There are a number of men In
every community, with few excep
tions, who are potential scout masters
and all they need is the rizht amount
of encouragement and the proper
kind of training. This group ran
nearly always be Induced to make the
attempt if they can be assured of
helpful guidance during th initial
stages of what is to them an experi
ment or even more willingly If they
can receive training prior to under
taking the task. They are anxious t
be of service even to the point cl per
sonal sacrifice but they want to be
reasonably sure of success before
they go into1 it
