everyone looked at their watches it was getting late. In fact
it was time that all poor little "house" girls should be in and
so they left just when the party was at its best which all goes
to show that there ought to be a law against things like that,
too.

Nebraska's Need
Is a New Library
Says Grad of '91
Declaring that the university is
in urgent need of a new library
buildine. Charles H. Compton, as
sistant librarian of the St. Louis
public library and president of the
National Library association,
brought out the fact that the pres
ent building is inadequate and un
economical. Compton, graduate of
the class of '91, is visiting his sis
ter, Nellie J. Compton, in Lincoln.
"The first great need on this
campus is for such a building,"
Compton stated. "The present
building is about forty years old.
About 25 percent or, in effect,
30,000 books must be housed out
side the building. It is not worthy
of the fine collection of books.
In his address to the state del
egates, Compton told of the na
tional library association plan,
particularly stressing one of the
points outlined by that body that
of securing a state law requiring
the certification of librarians.
The former university student
pointed out, in his address to the
state delegates, that it was inter
esting to note how depression pe
riods Influence the public's choice
of reading material. An unemploy
ment condition, he says, nerves to
stimulate the use of books dealing
with social problems.
Mr. Compton left Lincoln in
1905 to attend the New York li
brary school, now known as the
library school of Columbia univer
sity, from which institution he was
graduated in 1908. He later be
came librarian at the University
of North Dakota and in 1910 be
came head of the reference depart
ment of Seattle public library. In
1921 he became assistant librarian
at St. Louis, the position he now
holds.
Compton spoke highly of the ef
ficiency of those in charge of both
the city and university libraries.

New York botanical gardens, was
a success, according to Thomas J.
Fitzpatrick, curator of the muse
um, every worker proving em
cient. This year thirty students,
working from thirty-three to thirty-six
hours a month, are at the
task, and approximately 4,000
sheets of mounted specimens are
being completed every month.
It is estimated by Mr. fitzpat
rick that about 100,000 specimens
will be added to the Herbarium,
twenty or thirty thousand of which
are for the specially segregated
Nebraska flora collection. The
number of the latter is not as large
as it mieht look to the layman,
however, explains Dr. Fitzpatrick,
becausr the size of the state.
In fact he claims that the "surface
has only been scratched, as far
as Nebraska is concerned," in the
identification and collecting of
flowering plants.
Need State Botanist.
Claiming that Nebraska needs a
state botanist who would devote
all his time to the study of Nebras
ka flora, Dr. Fitzpatrick told of a
single county in Philadelphia,
which has collected 100,000 speci
mens, and is still adding to the
group, were obtained second
however, in a lifetime, "only get
started."
Among the recent additions to
the Herbarium, according to Dr.
Fitzpatrick, are numerous speci
mens from the collection of Jes-
sieu, an "old and famous botanist,"
who lived in the eighteenth cen
tury. The collection, containing
the duplicates from the original
group, were obtained by second
hand from the Paris museum to
which the family sold it after the
great botanist's death.
Nebraska men have contributed
materially to the development of
the Herbarium. The large collec
tion of the late Rev. John M. Bates
of Red Cloud was purchased by the
museum three years ago. In tms
'large and important' group
which was gathered as a hobby by
the Episcopalian minister, is an
excellent assemblage of fungi, es
pecially of the parBsitic forms.
Cleburne Civet collection.
A late Omaha mining engineer,
William E. Cleburne, gave a col
lection of twenty thousand speci
mens of flowpring plans to the
Herbarium a few years ago. The
collecting was mnde in connection
with Prof. D. C. Eaton, head of the
department of botany at Yale, in
the 70's and '80's. Another flow
ering plant group Is that of the
late Dr. C. H. Churchill, of Alli
ance, whose collection contains
manv soerlmens from other states.
Still another collection, purchased
so recently as to be yet unan
nounced, and consisting of nine
teen boxes of material, is stored in
the basement botany chart room.
The state collection was begun
In 1873 by Samuel Aughey, pro
fessor of natural history. Prof.
Aughey also issued the first cata
logue of the flora of the state. To
this small group of plants Dr. Bes
sey, who came to the university in
1894, and his advanced students
added many specimens. Among
the original seven Bessey assist
ants were Roscoe Pound, now dean
of the Harvard law college, Fred
E. Clements, and John Sheldon.
Herbarium Increased.
As time went on the Herbarium,
according to Dr. Fitzpatrick, "grew
so fat that it flooded everything."
Originally housed in Nebraska
hall, storage space was soon added
in former Museum. When Bessey
hall was built, it was given a
great deal of floor spae there, at
present occupying two large rooms
in the third floor, which house the
general collection, a room on the
first floor containing the Nebras
ka collection, and a much-filled
store room in the basement, with
over flow In the botany chart room.
Specimens are filed variously In
metal and wooden cases. The new

metal containers are moth proof
and dust proof, and are shelved off
conveniently for the cardboard
portfolios of mounted specimens.
The cases are arranged in the
manner of a botany manual, with
flowering plants occupying a large
percentage of the space. Another
big group is that of the collection
of lichens, which is one of the most
important of such assemblages in
the country.

DAVID RAUN, DANISH STU
DENT, RELATES WORLD
WAR EXPERIENCES;
SAW YEAR'S SERVICE IN
GERMAN SUBMARINE
CORPS.
(Continued from Page 1.)
the boat to go back to the stern
of the ship while the torpedo was
being fired, then immediately af
terward the crew would rush to
the other end of the submarine to
keep the proper balance.
The submarine in whicn Kaun
was stationed carried two small
torpedoes. After firing them they
would sail to their target ana get
tthe torpedoes and fire them again,
continuing the process what
seemed to the crew and endless
length of time.
During the stormy weather on
the Baltic sea the crew would send
the submarine to the bottom and
eat their meals in calm weather.
Raun states that in stormy weath
er the undercurrent waves are
much more pronounced than on the
surface, while the bottom of the
sea is usually smooth and quiet.
At the time of the signing of the
armistice Germany had 165 sub
marines capable of going into war
fare, most of Which were stationed
in the Baltic, altho a few were in
tthe Mediterranean sea. Follow
ing the armistice the submarines
were given to England. Raun,
with the rest of the crew, took
their ship to England, and were
sent back on a German transport
that had taken English prisoners
in Germany back to their home
land. Leaving Germany on Novem
ber 15, they were stationed at the
He of Melgoland in the North sea
for five days, and then proceeded
to England to deliver the 135 sub
marines that had been in the Baltic
sea.
Raun reports that during hiss
services with Germany he never
was ill-treated, and always had
plenty to eat. He used the term
"one big happy family" in speak
ing of the relations of the officers
of the submarine to the rest of
the crew, the officers even going
so far as to eat out of the same
bowl as the crew.
In speaking of war propaganda,
Raun stated that very little was
distributed to them to Incite a
hatred against the allies, except a
little aimed at the Russian and
French governments during the
early period of his service in the
navy.
Raun, who came to the United
States in 1921, has a brother and
two siHters in Denmark, and a
brother in San Francisco. He is a
graduate of Midland college of Fre
mont, majoring in chemistry, and
attended the university last year.

which the members have displayed
on the range in their Individual
