Feminine Scouts in Illinois.
a reporter for the Woman's Section
tripped from the Daily Illini office yes
terday bent on corralling a big story,
an important disclosure, her boss had
ord ered. Naturally she picked out the
office of the Dean of Women, Miss
Martha Kyle, as the most likely field.
Knowing that extracting what she de
sired from the dean herself would in
all probability serult in failure the
fair reporter resolved on doing a little
private investigation work. While
Dean Kyle was otherwise engaged the
reporter hastily scanned the important
documents that lay strewn on thia ma
hogany table. On the very top was a
blank form. Nervously the news-gatn-erer
jotted in her note book the head
ing. It read: "Woman's Journal and
Suffrage News. Subscription price

were realized. Daily Illini.

ments were served and all went home

PLESANT EVENING
Misa Tremaine Tells of Her Experi
ences in Europe Pleasant Social
Hour Spent Afterward.
The Palladian Society met in their
hall at the Temple last Friday even
ing and spent a very pleasant evening.
Several very nice musical numbers
were given by Marion Gillesjie and
after these Miss Mary Tremain gave
a very interesting talk on the Euro
pean war. She spoke of the personal
element in the war and not of stattis
tics. Miss Tremain was in both Franda
and England during the outbreak of
the war and during the mobilization of
the " troops. She mentioned among
other things the attitude of the French
in this great struggle, how it has seem-
! ingly changed them. from an excitable;
people to a calm and serious nation.
In England another state exists, the
aristocracy having given up many of
their homes and buildings for the use
of the wounded soldiers that are con
stantly streaming in. The attitude of
the whole of Europe' is undergoing a
great change. Miss Tremain's talK
was enjoyed by all present.
About eighty were present and the
usual social hour was held afterwards.
There will be no meeting next Friday
evening on account of Hallowe'en, in
stead there will be a party for the
members at the State Farm.
BOTANY PAPER READ
BY DEAN BESSEY
Classification of Plants Based on Doc
trine bf Evolution In
Missouri.
An' abstract of the paper read by
Doctor Bessey at the Missouri Gardens
anniversary on the phylogenetic taxo
nomy of flowering plants follows:
'This is an attempt to maket a classi
fication of the flowering plants based
on the general doctrine of evolution.
Use is made of what we know of the
evolution of plants in proceeding geo
logic ages, and the morphology of the
plants of today is given such interpre
tation as is suggestedd by their past
history. These are summarized in
twenty-eight concise dicta which con
stitute thep rinciples of the proposed
classification. Accordingly the flower
ing plants are divided into two numer
ically quite unequal classes, viz., those
which are primitively opposite-leaved,
and those which are primitively alternate-leaved..
Ins both of these classes
the evolution has been from the lower
"coma flowers," to the higher "cup
flowers." In the larger class the de
tails of the flower parts, as to num
bers, coherence, attachment, etc.,
serve to make further subdivisions. In
general the flower parts become fewer
as we proceed along an evolutionary
line. Lincoln Evening News.

HEATED ARGUMENTS PREVAIL
ABOUT THE CAMPUS.
ANOTHER SCRAP AGITATES
Color Pole Decision is Center of Pain
Marathon Points Claimed by
Both Classes Favor An
other Meeting.
"If the Sophomores are not satisfied
with the Freshmen as winners let
them appear in full force on the field
at some future time and scrap it out.
If they are dissatisfied with the mara
thon let it be put on again also. That's
the only way to cliear up the muddle,"
said Dr. Condra last evening.
"The way the marathon was report
ed, the teams of both classes were not
present when the race was to be
started. By reholding thesei contests
all controversy will be forever stilled
and all the uncertainty cleared up."
Many of the Sophomores make the
statement that the marathon points

were awarded them because the Fresh
men failed to have representatives for
the event when they had four men out.
According to this they figure that fif
teen points apiece for each class as
the result of the flag pole scrap be
sides the marathon twelve points,
makes them winners of the Olympics
even though the statement has been
made that the Frejshni'ein are the vic
tors.. It seems that the concensus of opin
ion favors another meeting of the
classes in a scrap to settle the color
role difficulty as well as a race to
award the marathon points.

REGUURSJVLL OUT
NOT ONE OF CORNHUSKERS BUT
WAS ABLE TO REPORT.
CALEY MAY BE SUB QUARTER
Hoeffel Will Teach the Freshmen the
Plays That Were Used by Ames
Aggies to Defeat the Mis
souri Tigers.
By H. I. Kyle
After their brilliant victory over the
Michigan Aggies, it was expected that
the Cornhuskers would be apt to lay
off a little in their training, but ap
parently, Stiehm is taking no chances
on a relapse from last Saturday's
form, for every regular was out for
the light signal practice which con
stituted yesterday's training program.
Strangely enough, not one of the men
who took part in the gruelling strug
gle of Saturday appears to have sus
tained any injury more serious than
minor bumps and bruises. In fact,
the squad seems in better condition
now than it was before the game,
which can only be explained from a
psychological standpoint.
Meanwhile, Joe Hoeffel returns to
camp, still gasping over the defeat of
the Eastern farmers, but full of ideas
on how the Iowa Soil Worshipers will
undertake the somewhat arduous task
of bringing to half-mast the proudly
floating banner of Nebraska on Octo
ber 31st. Hoeffel will instruct the
freshmen in the plays and formations
used by Ames in her game with Mis
souri, and Wednesday the Harmon
Hopefuls will entertain the varsity
with them in the regular mid-week
exhibition game. The work of Hoeffel
and the freshmen in familiarizing the
varsity with the Michigan Aggie at
tack was no small factor in Saturday's
victory. Those who saw the exhibi
tion game of last week, in which the
first year men tore through the var
sity defense at will for the first few
minutes, can realize what might have
been the result Saturday had the
Huskers been totally unfamiliar with
the Aggies' style of play.
Caley, the fast and gritty little back
fielder, is running the second team
from the quarterback position. It is
prcbable that he will be coached to
take that position in the regular line
tip i: ease of emergency.
