FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1936. SUNDAY, MARCH 15, 1936. FOUR S(DCDAIL WDiDKLL CHARACTERS AND CARICATURES Last night was great fun for all who partook of the big parties being given here and there. VVlerd, crazy, anil animal like people were whipping about the town frighten ing the amused looker-onners. The lucky persons who owned a cer tain special writ, a mask and n suitable costumo were- guests of the A. T. O.'s at their unique Storie Booke Balls. There was a large assortment of characters at tending the ball-for Instance, Bill "Ong" Fisher was racing as a big game hunter and was dragging Virginia Hunt, a little game hunt er, around as bait, presumably. Bob Shellcnburg was most allur ing or something ns Little Lord Kauntleroy and Martin Mallette caused a lot of comment when he appeared as an aviator without u plane, but he claims to be a stunt flyer. Glen Mace created some what of a solemn atmosphere when ho appeared as a monk. Royalty was on deck, too, when Dale Oder appeared as a Russian prince, but no one seemed to be awed by his majestic presence. At the S.A. K. Bowery party Mary Quiglry was a sensation when she appeared with huge s t r 1 p e d shoe - bows matching her "loudly" striped skirt and her dangly ear rings were always in action. Bud Maust was most "cutish" in his hi' green hat with Its tall and brightly col ored feather sweeping the ceiling. Ray Dean was vey dignified in an old fashioned three-button suit with pig-bottom trousers, and ac companying him was a red-headed girl with high shoes adorning her comely feet. Wc could go on for ever with interesting descriptions and situations but there isn't suf ficient space or time. Nevertheless, L E Students Will Hear Talks This Week at Can.s Convocations. Scheduled to speak at a number of convocations being sponsored by the city and university T. M. and Y. W. organizations. Mrs. Mil dred Inskccp Morgan, well-known authority in the field of personal and family relationships will be in Lincoln on March 17, IS, and 19. Regarded as one of the best au thorities on the subject of personal and family relationships in Amer ica today, the services of Mrs. Morgan 'are widely sought. Pre ceding her marriage, she was a member of the National Students staff of the Y. W. C. A. and had acquired her B. S. degree in home economics at Kansas State college. Later Mrs. Morgan spent several .years in Rumania, where her hus band, Dr. Morgan was actively en gaged in carrying on welfare and religious work with students. Upon her return to New York, Mrs. Morgan attended school at Columbia university, from which she has obtained her M. A. de gree in religious education from the Teachers college. At present, Mrs. Morgan has completed her residence requirement at Columbia for her doctor's degree in the field of child development and parent education. According to present plans, Mrs. Morgan will speak at a joint ves per service for members of the university Y. M. and Y. W., on next Tuesday, March 17 at the Temple theater, and arrange ments have been completed to have her appear before the per sonal relations staff members of both the Y. M. and Y. W. univer sity groups on Wednesday after noon, March 18. A three evening institute, cen tered around the discussion of va rious phases of personal relation ships and open to university young men and women, as well as any one else interested in the forum, is being scheduled during Mrs. Mor gan's visit in Lincoln. The at tendance at each evening meeting is being limited to 75 persons, so that open discussion may be made possible, according to auss Miiureu Green, secretary of the university Y. W. office. Price of admittance to the three meetings will be 3;ic. The speaker will be present at several other large meetings being held by the groups which are sponsoring her appearance here. In addition to these, Mrs. Morgan plans to attend an assembly held for all girls in Lincoln high school and a dinnpr sponsored by the Girl Reserves of the city. Describing Mrs. Morgan as a "well-informed woman with sound judgment," Miss Mary Eelie Fogg, Business and Professional Girls secretary of the city Y. W., stated, "There is no doubt that young peo ple will enjoy hearing Mrs. Mor gan for wherever she has ap peared her discussion groups and addresses have been very popular with her audiences. It is an op portunity to have her visit us again in Lincoln." Plates Point Out Steps In Training of Architect About forty plates showing the various stages of development in the training of an architect at the University of Nebraska are now circulating thruout high schools of the state. The exhibition was prepared by Prof. L. B. Smith, chairman of the department of architecture, and his students. The display has been arranged particularly as voca tional guidance material. According to alumni office rec ords, 730 Duke university alumni married as a result of campus ro tho parties were "tops" and wo hope- there are more like them in the near future.

Following a short business meet Around Washington By ARNOLD SERWER (Associated CnllPKlnt I'rcsj Cor respondent) WASHINGTON With the re instatement of their president, Edna Richtcr, the WPA union won a long hard fight to prove that union discrimination had been practiced by WPA officials. This victory for the young college trained unionists is supposed to mean that henceforth the union will be given a free hand here in promoting the cause of employes of the WPA administrative staff. It would also mean rapid growth for this local and increased pres tige for it in AFGE councils. Only one other lodge, the NRA lodge, has demonstrated its ability to protect a union member released because of union activity. AFGE President Babcock, real izing the strength of the Righter case as a union issue, offered to make a special trip to see Harry Hopkins, then in Florida, and in duce him to reinstate Miss Richter. But the WPA unionists prefer to have fought the fight successfully themselves since it brought the de sired admission that Miss Richter had been discriminated against, rather than to have had her hired again without that admission, as an accomplishment of Babcock in stead of as a union victory. With more and more govern ment agencies cutting down the size of their staffs the job situa tion is becoming acute here. Offi cials of any importance whatever are constantly badgered and be leaguored by ex-employes of AAA, WPA and NRA for new positions. Local government unions are try ing to induce the WPA to start a federal project here to care for the newly unemployed. With the pas sage of the new farm bill former AAA employes are expecting that those given brief furloughs with out pay will have those furloughs extended for two months, or until such time as the new farm bill setup provides new jobs. Those with furloughs, of course, get first crack at any new jobs appearing. Even the department of justice is reducing personnel somewhat, mostly among clerks, messengers, typists and their like. No slash in the number of G-men, however, so public enemies reading this will wisely refrain from calling for three cheers and a burst of gun fire. What the president meant by "windfall taxation" was taxation of the returns made to processors of AAA taxes impounded by court action, not a tax laid on the gen eral public. In spite of the fact that his meaning was clear, po litical cartoonists the country over drew pictures of Wallace and Tug well seeking the taxpayer with "just another tax, with a new name," while the papers they drew for were pointing out that it was a special tax on a special group, a group admittedly unpopular for getting taxes returned that they had passed on to the consumer. All of which brings up the old question, "Do political cartoonists read the newspapers they draw for?" NYA projects, providing employ ment for thousands of youths out of school and out of work, are be ing routed thru WPA project processing very rapidly. The WPA's co-ordinating committee alone, which handles only statis tical projects, has 500 such projects before it for consideration, as one part of the $20,000,000 job pro gram of the NYA. Even if only a small percentage of these passed it would mean the greatest upturn in the slide rule manufacturing business since the taking of the last census. IOWA CITY'. (INS).

MANHATTAN, Kas. March 11. The failure of a Kansas univer sity wrestler to win from an Iowa State college man pushed Kansas State down into third place in the annual Big Six conference meet held in Norman, Okl.. last week end. The Wildcats ranked one-half point behind the Cyclones when the final calculations were made. "The team as a whole did better than I expected," Coach Patterson commented, "and in some weights I was agreeably surprised. Had Missouri and Nebraska been stronger I believe we would have replaced Iowa State in the runner up position." The confernece meet is the last in which all members of the squad will participate. Coach Patterson will take four men to Chicag-j April 3 and 4 to take part in the national A. A. U. meet. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calif. (CNS). Robert H. "Bobby" Grayson, Stanford university foot ball star for the past three years, has filed application with the uni versity for the assistant football coachint; job being vacated by Ernie Nevers.

JENKINS Student Representative LIFE ACCIDENT B1754 Oldfathcr Translates Snake Stories of Historian Diodorus Nw Simla! stories Hint make Frank Jiuck's talcs rhililislily Miimli; in comparison are recounted by the Ancient historian Dioilonis in 1 lie second volume (J reck historian is bcintf translated by Dr. (.!. H. Oldfathcr, dean of tho college ol. arts and sciences ot the University of rsebraska Dr. Oldfathcr is completing theO translations for the Loeb Classical Library. Diodorus seems to have been enough of a historian to doubt the tales of early writers that there were reptiles 150 feet long, but he goes on to describe the capture of a serpent fifty feet in length, which he eayi actually was brought as an added curio to the great zoo in Alexandria. The an cient historian, with a style all his own, tells the tale of the hazardous capture of this scaly monster: Loiters In Pools. "The hunters spied one of the snakes as it loitered near the pools. Here it maintained for most of the time, Its coiled body motionless, but at tho appearance of an animal which came down to the spot to quench its thirst, it would sudden ly uncoil, seize the animal in us Jaws, and so entwine about it that it could in nowise escape its doom. As they grew near it they con stantly grew more and more terrl eye and Its tongue darting out in fied as they gazed upon its fiery every direction and noted the astonishing height of its heap of coils. "After they had driven the color from their checks, they cast the noose about its tail, but the beast, the moment the rope touched it, whirled about with so mighty a hissing as to frighten them out of their wits, and raising itself into the air above the head of the fore most man, it seized him in its mouth and ate his flesh while he still lived. The second man it caught from a distance with a coil as he fled, drew him to itself, and winding itself about him. began squeezing his belly with its tight ening bond. And as for the rest, stricken with terror, they sought safety in flight." Party Sets Out. Enticed by the handsome re ward which would be theirs if they effected a capture, another bold party, assisted by a multitude of interested followers, set out to bring back the snake. After de vising a huge net. the mouth of which they left open, they chased the serpent Into the opening and closed the net about him. The bulkv Diizc was then brought to the Alexandria zoo and was later tamed to the amazement of all visitors. Diodorus then writes "That in view of the fact that a snake of so great a size has been exposed to the public gaze, it is not fair to doubt the word of the Ethiopians. For they state that there are to be seen in their country snakes so great in size that they not only eat both oxen and bulls, but even join issue in battle with the elephants. By intertwining their coils about the elephants' legs they prevent the natural movement of them, and by rearing their necks above their trunks they put their heads directly opposite the eyes of the elephants and sending forth, by reason of the fiery nature of their eyes, brilliant flashes like lighten ing, they first blind their sight and then throw them to the ground and devour the flesh of their conquered foes." Rationalizes Myths. Diodorus found it an easy task to rationalize the old Greek myths. His account of the war-like race of women known as the Amazons is a master piece in itself. He writes: "Now there have been in Libya a number of races of wom en who were war-like and greatly admired for their manly vigor. The manly prowess of those of whom we are now about to write pre-supposes an amazing preemi nence when compared with the nature of the women of our day. These women practiced the arts of war whiV the men. like our married women, spent their days about the house, carrying out the orders which were given them by their wives. The men took no pait in military campaign or in the affairs of the community by virtue of which they might be come presumptuous and rise against the women. When their children were born, the babies were turned over to the men who brought them up on milk and surh cooked foods as were approp riate to the age of the infants. Tells Amazon's Adventures. "The Amazons embarked upon great adventures, the longing hav ing come over them to invade many parts of the inhabited world. The first people against whom they advanced, according to the tale, was the Atlantians, the most Mail Orders Filled at Lincoln' Busy OIL i - i h t-, mrt, T- i --, m- - T - - Service.) i of a scries of ten in Avhieh this civilized men among the lnhabl tants of those regions, who dwelt In a prosperous country am possessed great cities, tor pro tective devices the women sol diets used the skins of large snakes and for offensive weapons swords and lances.

Upon entering the land of the Atlan tians they defeated in a pitched battle the Inhabitants of the city of Cyrene. They treated the cap tives savagely, put to the sword the men and the youth upward, led into slavery the children and women and razed the city," This In short, Is a sample of the type of historical records handed down to us by the ancient his torians of the early days, as re corded by Dr. Oldfather. Diodor us was probably no more guilty than any of the other writers of lbs day when It came to calling upon his imagination to supple ment the facts he had at hand. KANSAS STATE ENTERS IN IN TRACK MEET Team Attends Notre Dame Intercollegiate Meet. MANHATTAN, Kas. Mar. 14. Coach Ward Haylett will take four men and possibly five to the cen tral Intercollegiate conference track meet at Notre Dame univer sity in South Bend, Ind., this week. The Kansas State entries include Bill Wheclock, ace two miler who placed in the national collegiate meet last year and one of the lead ing distance men in college circles. Charles Socolofsky who heaves the shot better than 45 feet will repre sent the Wildcats in that event and Harold Redfield, who can do bet ter than 4:30, will be entered in the mile run. Dick Hotchkiss, out standing sophomore, will run the two hurdle races and possibly the 60-yard dash. The fifth man to make the trip may be either Bruce Nixon, indoor track captain who runs the 440, or Lloyd Eberhart, senior distance man and member of the Kansas State two mile relay team which last year had the best time of any relay team in the United States. With the indoor season practi cally over Coach Ward Haylett is spending more and more time with his outdoor track squad and look ing forward to the first dual meet of the season against the Univer sity of Oklahoma, April 11, at Nor man. With perfect track weather on hand the discus and javelin men have been going thru intensive workouts daily. Longer hurdle races and dashes are on the sched ule and the high jumpers and vaulters have had an opportunity to work on their stride and timing in the outdoor pits. All indications point to a better wildcat outdoor team than the 1935 squad, which placed second in the Big Six conference. With men from last year improved by ex perience and ' some outstanding sophomores, Coach Haylett is very optimistic about his team.
