jects of the Pictures.
The pictures taken by Dr. Condra
during the past fall and early winter
were shown at the auditorium last
night before a crowd that was com
posed of students and members of the
Agricultural association and filled the
gallery of the big building The pic
tures were good and the views were
the best that could possibly be ob
tained, each and every reel being in
teresting to the last inch.
The show began at 7:30 and lasted
until 8.20. During this time the pic
tures were shown Bteadily and each
reel was explained by Dr. Condra.
The first reel was composed of pic

pictures of the football games and the
Olympics These were taken at the
university and were the ones that the
Btudents enjoyed the most. The Kan

fourth, views of the campus, both
down town and at the farm The fifth
reel was devoted to the exhibition of
the "better babies," taken at the "bet
ter babies" show.
The pictures in all were very pleas
ing and offered the people an oppor
tunity to see the things that are hap
pening in the state that are really
worth while.
CAPTAIN MAX TOWLE TAKES
PEP OUT OF MAGICIANS TRICKS
Turns Chagrin at Being "Balled Out"
Into Much Applauded
"Comeback."
Captain-elect Max Towle lias blos
somed forth in the role of an actor
not, however, w lthout experiencing a
good deal ot criticism at the hands of
one of his fellow Thespians. Whether
or not he will desert football for good
has not been determined.
It all happened at the Lyric Wednes
day evening. Max and his lady fair
were occuping a box; a magician was
occupying the stage. The man with
the magic wand placed a mirror In
side a hankerchief and then, advan
cing to the box, dared Mrs. Max to
remove the looking-glasB. Of course
it had disappeared up his sleeve, and
the young lady, after searching in
vain turned very red.
The magician, learning with the
pleasure experienced in such a tri
umph, returned to a position in front
of the footlights and offered to try
the experiment on any one else who
had the nerve to submit to assuming
the role of the goat. While he talked.
Max slipped out and found a mirror

MANY DATES' BEING CANCELLED
Organizations Switch Back And Forth
With Day's Quotations Who
Will Move Next?
Many phenomena that cannot be
otherwise explained are at present
blamed on the sudden popularity of
the new dances. The continuous round
of tango dances scheduled lately has
precipitated a war between rival hotel
managers. One hotel that has suc
ceeded in obtaining moBt of the stu
dent trade during the last few years
simply jecause they had a monoply
on '.lie business, advertised in last
evening's paper that they had prac
tically cut their prices in half. This
was done only after the rival manage
ment had built a new hall and had ap
preciably lowered the prices for the
students.
It was rumored that those who held
the dance hall and for so long attempt
ed to Induce the other hotel people
to raise their schedule to the same
level of price and when the propo
sition was flatly refused declared that
they would open their ball-room free
rather than submit to a reduction in
rates. There is little doubt as to stu
dents sentiment in the matter

ILLUSTRATED LECTURE ON DAM
Prof. Raber Speaks tonight on Missi-
sippi Hyro-Electrlc Plant
at Keokuk.
Before the Engineers club of Lin
coln, on Friday night of this week,
will occur an illustrated account of
the building of the world's greatest
water power station, at Keokuk, Iowa.
During the construction period of
three and one-half years, Prof. Raber,
who gives the description, has had ex
ceptional opportunity to obtain views
from the beginning to completion, and
to follow closely the various stages
of the work, for Keokuk Is his home
town. Next to the Panama Canal, this
power installation is considered one
ne of the greatest engineering achie
ments of the age, principally because
of its size and the low head of water
used.
The description will be general and
nontechnical. The lecture will be
given in Room 20G, Mechanical En
gineering building, at eight o'clock,
and anyone interested is invited, es
pecially university engineers and mem
bers of the engineering societies. O .J.

DELEGATES TO" CONVENTION

Thirteen Three-minute Talks Given In
Temple Emphasize the Need
and Power of Prayer.
Thirteen three-minute talks were
given last night at the men's meeting
in the Temple. The occasion was a
review of the Kansas City Volunteer
convention. The speakers were dele
gates, who gave brief reports of the
impressions they had received during
the sessions of the big student conven
tion. After a vocal solo by Grant H.
Lamphere, the discussions were start
ed by C. W. Smith, presiding. The
speakers touched upon a number of
impressions conveyed by the conven
tion, -but perhaps the one most fre-

Coach Stlehm Is out nfter a new re
cord. Not content with having his Hus
kcrs with a few football and baskot
ball championships, the coach now
wishes to have them gain the dis
tinction of making a point a minute
throughout the present basketball sea
son. In the 80 minutes the CornhuskerB
have played thiB year they have made
100 points. They ran up a total of
44 against the X-Uni. aggregation and
5G against Cotner. In the 40 minutes
of play tonight with Wesleyan, Stlehm
hopes to see his protegeB Bcoro at
least 40 points, thereby preserving
their good reputation. And, consid
ering the fact that the Methodists ran
up a score of 59 to 4 against the Uni
versity of Omaha, Wednesday night,
the coach Is feeling a trifle blue over
the prospect.
