Sotvd Stylist Gives
Exhibition Uses of
Cotton in Clothing
An exhibition of cotton cos
tume3 modeled by university girls
was demonstrated by Miss Cather
ine Cleveland, consumer consul
tant for the cotton textile institute
and prominent stylist, in her ad
dress Tuesday before an Organ
ized Agricultural group.
Texture is particularly impor
tant in the new cottons, according
to Miss Cleveland. New finishes,
new linen, sanforizing, which pre
vents shrinkage, and a new anti
crease finish characterize the new
cottons.
Models displayed everything
from bathing suits to formals, all
designed in cotton. A two piece
bathing suit in blue and white cot
ton with an extra piece used
either as cape or skirt attracted
much attention. Pajamas and
shorts, in gay seersuckers, ging
hams and piques, all with new
treatments in texture were mod
eled. A skirt and short outfit with
lastex tops, and a blouse with a
piece running between the legs
and buttoning to eliminate "crawl
ing" were new. Formals in black
velveteen with a red and black
cape, and delicate lace with a
jacket to match were other novel
uses for cotton.
Color hints for the coming sea
son revealed that dark colors are
to be worn in early summer
clothes, while yellow, green and
rust are the best colors in plaids.

X-ray at the meeting of the Phy
sics club Friday evening, Jan. 11,
in Brace laboratory. At the out
set. Professor Spencer will per
form some of the experiments that
led to the discovery of the magic

with the work of Roentgen, the
speaker will explain the nature and
application of the X-ray as it per
tains to scientific investigation as
well as to industry.
After his main talk. Dr. Spen
cer will demonstrate the three
X-ray installations of the depart

that his talk will only touch on
the high voltage phase of the
X-ray, which includes its medical
use. He pointed out that the uni

research work rather than for
practical application.

Burnett Knows
Of No Contracts
With War Dep't
Contrary to a report from Cham
paign, III,, Chancellor Burnett em
phatically announced that he knew
of no contract made between land
jrrant colletres and the war depart
ment to- carry on compulsory mili
tary training. Chancellor Burnett
said the University of NenrasKa
has made no contract as far as he
knows.
The acceptance ot land grant
colleges when they received the
fund which established their exis
tence contained a provision for
military training, Chancellor Bur
nett explained, other than tne
obligation thus laid upon them he
maintained that he knew of no
"contract" entered into by the col
leges. In a letter to Prof. Svelnbjorn
Johnson, legal counsel for the Uni
versity of Illinois, Ralph C. Bish
op, secretary of the civilian mili
tary education fund, said he read
of a contract made in 1916 by the
University of Minnesota, a school
where compulsory military train
ing has been abolished.
CRIMINOTOuTTOPIC
OF MEDICAL SOCIETY
MEET FRIDAY NIGHT
Dr. Mathews of University
Of Wisconsin to Talk
At Temple.
Dr. J. Howard Mathews of the
University of Wisconsin will dis
cuss the topic, "Use of Scientific
Methods in the Identification of
the Criminal," at a meeting of the
Nebraska chapter of the American
Medical society, 7:30 o'clock Fri
day evening, Jan. 11, in the Temple
theater. Dr. Mathews is director
of the course of chemistry at the
University of Wisconsin.
One of the few scientists in the
United States to take up the study
of crime as an avocation, Dr.
Mathews in his talk will show, by
means of lantern slides, how cer
tain murder mysteries have been
solved and the identity of the crim
inal established. Instruments used
in modem crime detection will be
pictured and described by the
speaker, according to Prof. H. A.
Pagel of the chemistry depart
ment who is secretary of the chem
istry society.
"Dr. Mathews has been instru
mental in solving a large number
of murder mysteries, and his worn
is unique in the number of ways
in which he has applied scientific
methods which have hitherto not
been used in crime detection," Pro
fessor Pagel related.
His work has attracted much at
tention and he has been featured
in several metropolitan newspapers
and magazines, it was pointea out.
He has also given lectures on crime
detection to police scnoois tnrougn
out Wisconsin, and his work has
been endorsed by police officials of
that state.
"These true detective stories will
be found to be more interesting
than the fanciful tales of story
writers, most of whom are ignorant
of real scientific methods," Pro
fessor Pagel related.
The gathering will be the 159lh
meeting of the Nebraska section
of the chemistry society, and the
address will be open to the public
with no admission charged, Pro
fessor Pagel stated.

As a take - off on Ksquire,

'Yellow Jack9 Traces Story of Man's
Battle Against Yellow Fever Germ;
29 Scenes Depicted on 3-Level Stage
By DOROTHEA FULTON.
Sidney Howard's outstanding drama, "The Yellow Jack,"
brings to the University Players stage a production in which
the characterizations of the actors are subordinate to the plot
and setting of the play.
Adapted from the book. "Microbe Hunters,' by Paul De
Kruif, the production tells of tDeo
eternal battle civilizaticn wages
against disease. The firt of the
production's twenty-nine scenes
takes place in London during 1929
in the laboratory of a group of
doctors who are bunting for the
yellow fever microbe. Subsequent
scenes carry the audience back
through 1927 to 1900, and reveal
the hardships of men who sacri
ficed their lives for experimenta
tion because no animal save the
monkey could contract yellow
fever.
The stage Is set with two cots,

Peace Poll Favored,
Vole Iot Significant
Faculty Men Assert
The peace poll being conducted
by the Daily Nebraskan aeems to
be meeting quite favorable opinion
among both faculty and student
members. Such statements as:
Just what Is needed to arouse in
terest In public affairs among stu
dents," and "A new subject lor
discussion In the 'Moon'," seem to
exemplify the general feeling
among most "Sosh" newsmongers.
Mr. Fellman, political science in
structor, states that it is a very
desirable Idea in that it directs stu
dent attention toward crucial pub
lic problems, but that some of the
questions are altogether Impracti
cal. "The results, ' professor ten
man states, "will be very Interest
ins: but in no way significant."
Dr. Oldfather, dean of the Arts and
Sciences college, declares that such
a poll Is extremely practical, that
the subject of discussion was well
chosen, and the results should
show the trend of student opinion
in national affairs.
Professor Reinhardt of the so
ciology department says, "It is a
very interesting and legitimate
survey and will arouse student in
terest in public affairs " Mr. Rein
hardt believes, however, that
the result will simply reveal stu
dent opinion and not that of peo
ple experienced in the business
world. Therefore the results of a
student poll should not be held In
too high esteem, he stated.
Choruses. Orchestra From
University to Appear in
Production.
Verdi's opera "Aida" will be pre
sented under the auspices of the
university school of music the first
part of May, it was announced
Wednesday by Howard Kirkpat-
rick, director of the school. Uni
versity choruses and the university
symphony orchestra will take part
in the production, which will be
onvAn in the coliseum.
The Festival Opera company of
Chicago will furnisn costumes,
scenery, lighting and stage effects,
and a cast of six principals from
New York and Chicago. Mr. Rei
nal Werranrath, an artist of na
tional importance, will have one
of the roles.
A chorus of 150 voices will be
needed and all those interested in
taking part in the opera should
register for cnorus next semester.
"There will be choruses of priests
ami nriestesses eivine both men
and women an opportunity for
stage training," Kirkpatrick stated.
Director Kirkpatrick, in urging
students to take part in the presen
tation added. "I reeard this as an
unusual opportunity for students
interested in tne stuay oi me
opera, to take part in a work in
which they will be associated with
singers cf national distinction.

Thompson Reports Students
And University Benefit
From Program.
Few changes will be made in
the Federal Emergency Stu
dent Relict' program for next
semester according to the re
port from the faculty commit
tee on student relief. The federal
appropriation will remain at $8,175
per calendar month and the num
ber of students holding these jobs
on this and the Omaha campus will
again be at slightly over 600.
About fifty jobs have been created
in connection with the medical
school, it wss announced.
With the second semester, dur
ing which the F. E. S. R. has been
in operation, drawing to a close,
those in charge are of the opinion
that the project has been entirely
successful both from the stand
point of benefit to the students and
work accomplished at the univer
sity, according to T. J. Thompson,
dean of student affairs. He stated
that according to the general re
port received from the various de
partments all of the students do
ing relief work are striving to
make themselves worth their wage.
As a result work that would have
otherwise been neglected is being
done and the pressure of over
work has been lifted in several de
partments. Dean Thompson fur
ther stated that this work does not
seem to be in any way a burden to
the students who are doing it.
Scholastic records show that
students on relief are doing excel
lent work. Out of 600, there are
but three students who are in seri
ous difficulty because of poor
scholastic standing. He stated that
this record is probably due to the
high caliber of students that were
chosen for the work, preference
