Award
Miles C. Hildreth, '20, of Lincoln,
won the first prize of $25 in the
annual prohibition oratorical con
test held in the Temple theatre last
evening. The second prize of $15
was won by H. T. Landeryou, '20,
of Lincoln, and the third prize of $10
by William F. Hoyler of Edmund,
Okla. The prize money was given
by the Frances Willard Prohibition
organization of this city. Prof. M.
M. Fogg of the department of rhetoric
presided. The judges were: Mr.
T. F. A. Williams, '92, law, '94; Rev.
C. M. Shepherd, and Mr. Fred
Mason.
Covered National Prohibition
The orations were concerned chief
ly with the national phase of the
prohibition question and the speak
ers discussed the trend toward na
tion-wide freedom from the liquor
traffic," dealing extensively with the
forces at work toward that end.
During the intermission, while the
judges were conferring. Professor
Fogg spoke of the value of such
contests not only to the cause un
der discussion but to the men who
were thus learning to effectively
express themselves while on their
feet.
In his winning oration, Hildreth
told of the necessity which had
arisen in the warring countries for
prohibition and of the fact that one
of the results of the war was the
bringing of the realization that the
liquor traffic was one of the great
est hindrances to a nation's progress.
He brought out the fact that the
educational forces of the country
be more completely brought into the
fight for wide-spread prohibition as
it extended to the larger metropoli
tan districts of the east.
Landeryou, the winner of the sec
ond place, spoke on "National Ef
ficiency," and traced the hindering
of national efficiency by the effect
of the liquor upon each individual
user. This fact was the strongest
force at work for prohibition today.
he declared. Heyler gave "A Plea
for National Prohibition." and urged
that it was a moral, ecomonic and
social necessity. He pleaded for
concerted action on the part of
voters in bringing about a constitu
tional amendment which would free
country once and for all from the
liquor traffic.
Before a slender but good-natured
crowd, aided by the finest spring
weather, men of the University cadet
regiment underwent inspection Thurs-
Htir hv rn. .Iuliii8 A. Penn of the
vmj r j
regular army.
Colonel Penn visited every member
of the regiment, but he visited some
longer than he visited others. Fol
lowing the passing in revie-v, the in
specting officer, commandant, regi
mental and battalion officers passed
along the lines.
Fires Questions
As the colonel reached each of
ficer he questioned him. As he
came to each man in the ranks, the
man came to port arms and opened
the chamber of his rifle for inspec
tion. Colonel Penn asked hundred of
questions during the inspection. He
questioned some men several times,
others not at all, others once or
twice. Among the questions asked
were:
"How old are you?
"Have you ever seen trenches?
"What is the make of your rifle,
model and calibre?
"What is the number of your
rifle?
"Have you ever been on guard?
"Do you favor universal military
training?
"Do you know what an outpost is?
"Have you ever taken any map
work ?
"Do you know what a pontoon is?
"Would you like to take advanced
training?
Second Lieutenants Needed
After each company was Inspected,
its members sat down on the ground
or in the stands of the athletic
field, bought popcorn and otherwise
rested. Later there were open and
close order drills, bayonet exercises
and skirmishing work.
Colonel Penn met the men who
have applied for examination for en
trance into the officers reserve
corps or who have signed contracts
for commutation of rations. He told
of the need of the regular army for
second lieutenants, of examinations
to be held and dwelt to some ex
tent on the qualifications necessary.

Mr. Smith stressed the idea that

habits. Advertising is used as a
means to sell goods but its primary
nuiuose Should be to enable people
to economically and intelligently buy

because of the coming Drake relay
carnival to which a Oornhusker team
will be sent. The other events will
determine the men who for the most
part will make up the varsity team

The seventh annual theatrical pro
duction of the Kosmet Klub will be
presented at the Oliver theatre this
evening, ttnd the play, "The Diplo
mat," will be the one with which the
Klub made Us successful first ap
nearance in 1912.
Although the play itself will be
the same, features have been added
which indicate that the production
will "get across" even better than it
did when it raised the curtain on
Kosmet plays. Chief among these
features are entirely new music by
C. Leroy Meisinger, '17; a Turkish
dance by six University girls, and
special scenery.
A Strong Cast
In this connection the acting which
may well be expected, from work
at rehearsals, of Natalie Spencer,
'20, of Atkinson, as Princess Zaides
of Argonia and Walter C. Johnson,
19. of Omaha, as the Dictator, in
the two leading roles, should make
the second production of the play
better than the original. Among
those who will do some of the
"heavy" work in supporting Miss
Spencer and Johnson will be Ells
worth Moser, '18, Robert Drake, a
graduate student, Lewis R. Doyle,
17, Norman Curtice, '19, Marguerite
Lonam, '19, and Ottila Schurman, 19.
The cast went through a stage re
hearsal at the Oliver theatre last
evening as the climax of many
weeks of hard and ceaseless drilling.
Some Exceptional Dancing
The "Turkish ballet," comprising
Elizabeth Doyle, '17, Frances Whit
more, '19, Katharine Newbranch, '19.
Jeane Preece, '20, Winifred Williams,
IS, and Ruth Whitmore, '17, coached
by Miss Charlotte Wheedon, has at
tracted much attention at reheasals,
and is sure to add a distinctive
touch to the show. One man who
saw it. a competent judge, declared
that the dance, produced with origi
nal music, was without doubt the
equal of numbers by professional
dancing troupes.
Following its presentation here to
night, the play will be taken to
