ticle on Structural Feat
ures of Stadium.
The third edition of "The Nebras
ka Blue Print," quarterly magazine
of the College of Engineering, will
be issued today. It contains twenty
pages of engineering articles and com
ments.
A continuation of a previous writ

New Stadium" by John G. Mason, '10,
consulting engineer,formerly a facul
ty member, gives a complete analysis
of the loading for cantilever joists.
Professor C. A- Sjogren is the
author of a comment on "The Human

underlying the relation of industry
to the worker and the value of the
human machine to the world.
Lloyd P. Shildneck in an article
entitled "The House of a Thousaad

DeBaufre.
A meeting will be held in several
weeks to elect the staff of the maga
zine for next year. The publication
may be made monthly instead of
quarterly.
Bank Books are
Left at Studio
by Uni Students
The old belief that people would
"lose their heads if they weren't fas
tened on to them" is proved true
every day. For instance, ten articles
panging from bank-books to' a writ
ten lesson have been left at Doles
studio all ready this year.
Of course, it is true that having
pictures laken for the University an
nual is very upsetting and distracting
a..d this may be taken -as an excuse
for the absent-mindedness of the
students. The lost articles include
one white muffler, two pairs of kid
gloves, two fountain pens, one writ
ten lesson, two dorines, and two
bank-books. Owners may reefer
their property by calling at the stud!
and identifying it.

DISCOVER WOMAN
GYMNASIUM THIEF
Physical Education Instructor
Finds Robber Searching
Overcoats.
AUTHORITIES DECIDE
NOT TO PROSECUTE
Continued loss of money, jewelry;
and clothes for the past several
months in the dressing rooms of the'
women's gymnasium was explained
Monday afternoon when the culprit,
a married woman of Lincoln, was
discovered by Miss M. D. Clark, gym
nasium instructor, in the act of
searching through overcoats in the
cloakroom. The woman,, who is
young and comes from a well-to-do
Lincoln family, has been placed on
probation, and will not be turned
over to civil authorities, according to
Dean C. C. Engberg, who investigated
the case. She is not a student in the
university.
A chance visit to the women's
locker rooms witH, student acquaint
ances brought to her attention the
ease with which things could be
stolen in the gymnasium, and tempted
her to start on the venture of crime,
the woman told authorities. She
claims- to have taken nothing but
money, and says that she got a total
of $35. Girls in the gymnasium
classes have been losing articles all
year, and it is not known to what
extent the woman apprehended Mon
day is responsible.
Dean Engberg, on investigating
the matter, decided not to bave the
woman prosecuted. He reported the
affair to police and asked them to
make an investigation of the woman's
character, informing them of his in
tention to keep her name secret.
SPEAKS Oil ECONOMIC
BASIS OF CIVILIZATION
Dean LeRossignol Says Eco
nomics and Civilization
Are Connected.
"Civilization depends upon leisure
time. To have time we must nave a
surplus of the necessities and luxuries
of life," Dean J. E. LeRossignol of
the College of Business Administra
tion told freshman lecture students
of the College of Arts and Sciences,
Monday evening and Tuesday morn
ing. The subject of his talk was
"The Economic Basis " of Civiliza
tion."
'That surplus is dependent upon
economic conditions, ne saia.
"Therefore civilization and econom
ics are closely connected."
Dean LeRossignol traced the his
tory of civilization, pointing out
that where civilization sprang up,
good economic conditions existed.
The culture of the Hebrews cen
tered in the productive agricultural
districts of the Tigris and Euphrates
rives. Egyptian civilization thrived
in the fertile valley of the Nile. Ath
ens -and Rome were wealthy cities.
Depend on Machinery.
The slave was the basis of civili
zation in ancient times, Dean Le
Rossignol explained. In the days of
GGreek culture, two-thirds or three-
.fourths of the population were
slaves. The remaining portion h id
the time to devote to cultural pur
suits. Today, machinery is depended
upon to provide time for study.
There are four stages l civiliza
tion which mark the progressiveness
of man, declared the speaker. They
are the savage, barbarous, semi-civilized,
and civilized stages. These
are closely connected with the eco
nomic stages: Collecting, hunting and
fishing, pastoral, agricultural, handi
craft and commercial and industrial
Some say that civilization is mere
ly a veneer which covers up the sav
age underneath," said Dean LeRos
signol. "Perhaps this is true. Take
the fighting instinct In the savage
it prompts him to strike. In a civ-
Lilized person it results in a struggle.
such as with books and learning.
Dr. Latimer of the anatomy de
partment is preparing three abstracts
for the national meeting of the
American Anatomists Association at
Buffalo, N. Y., April lfl9, entitled
"The . Growth of the Brain of the
Chicken," "The Relative Proportions
of the Brains of the Frog, Turtle, and
Dog,'" and "Interglobular Spaces of
the Cat's Teeth." The latter paper
is a joint report with Miss Esther Edwards.
Weather Forecast
Wednesday Probably fair and
slightly warmer for Lincoln and vi
cinity. MUST HAVE TICKETS
FOR FORUM DINNER
Students Will Not Be Admitted
. Unless They Obtain Tick
ets in Advance.
Admission to the world forum
luncheon this noon will be by tick
ets alone, according to Paul Mc
Caffree, secretary of the University
Y.M.C.A. Judge E. B. Chappell of
the Lincoln police court will speak
on "Lawbreakers, Who Are They?"
A few extra plates will be set, and
if those who have bought their tick
ets -already do not fill up the dining
room of the Grand hotel, those with

MISS MARKLEY TALKS
AT TUESDAY VESPERS
"Christian Adventuring" Is
Subject of Address by
Secretary.
"Christian Adventuring" was the
subject of an address given by Miss
Mary E. Markley of New York City,
secretary of the board of Education
of the United Lutheran Church, at
Vespers Teusday evening at 5 o'clock
in Ellen Smith hall. Miss Esther
Garrett lead the services and the hos
tesses were members of the church
affiliations staff. Miss Mary Davis
played a violin solo.
."Adventuring into new christian
altitudes has - been responsible for
many new points of view in regard
to racial problems, world affairs and
many other movements of wide inter
est," declared Miss Markley. She
explained that it was not only in big
problems that something new in the
way of methods or ideals might be
initiated. The circle of activity need
not be so great that it extends to
world affairs, but may deal with a
subject that extends through only a
small sphere.
SECRETARY TELLS OF
AGRICULTURE IN CHINA
Gilbert Lovell Says Only Fif-
teen Per Cent of Land Is
Developed.
Gilbert Lovell, church secretary,
who has lately returned from China,
spoke on "Agriculture Conditions in
China." The speaker was introduced
by Paul McCaffree, secretary of the
University Y. M. C. A. Mr. Lovell
is a member of the church teams visi
ting here and has spent fourteen
years in educational work in eastern
China.
He stated that the average Chinese
farm contains only six or seven acres
and that only fifteen per cent of the
land is developed. China is primarily
on an agricultural basis, with indus
tries just beginning. In interior
China the main resources are coal,
tungsten, antimony," and silver. Rice
and the preserved eggs are the chief
exports.
Mr. Lovell said that the Chinese
farmer cannot be taught anything
about the intensive system of farming
or about crop rotation but he can be
taught about the seeds ho uses and
about varities and especially about a
better type of cotton. One of the
sad things about China's agricultural
development Mr. Lovel believes is the
lack of development in the silk indus
try in whjch Japan is forging ahead
because-of modern methods and en
couragment of production.
Places are open for trained agri
culturists in China, both in universi
ties and in high schools, especially
in interior China for developments
along vocational lisea.
, Mr. Lovell thinks that the mort
good can be done in the middle
schools, which correspond to our
high schools, as few are able to go
to college. Those attending the mid
dle schools go back to agriculture
again.
HUSKERS TO PLAY
AT AMESTONIGIIT
Workout in Armory Finishes
Preparation for Cage
Fray with Iowa.
KLINE EXPECTS AMES
TO GIVE HARD GAME
A workout in the Armory yester
day put the finishing touches on the
Husker cage machine for the clash
this evening with Iowa State at
Ames. The squad, numbering eight
players, left late last night Altho
a comparison of the past record of
the two teams favors Nebraska,
Coach Kline is not expecting an easy
victory. The Cyclones always put
up a stiff f ight
Captain Usher, Tipton, Cozier,
Goodson, and Volz will be in the
Husker lineup against Ames tonight
Black, R. Dewitz and Eckstrom are
included in the squad, and will prob
ably come, in for part of the play.
Student Manager Krueger is also
going with the team.
Kansas Defeats Grinnell.
In two Valley games played last
night, Kansas University defeated
Grinnell 39 to 19 at Lawrence, and
Missouri lost to Kansas Aggies 23
to 15 at Columbia. The victory of
the Aggies over Missouri raises the
chances of a Jayhawk victory over
Washington at St Louis this evening.
The initial encounter between these
schools last Saturday resulted in a
victory for Washington by the close
score of 28 to 24. If Kansas de
feats the Pikers tonight, Nebraska
will have third place cinched in the
Valley race.
Nebraska plays two more games
after tonight, a return game with
Ames at Lincoln next Monday, and
a home game with Drake next Wed
nesday. The Drake game will be
played the night before the basketball
tournament begins, and several hun
dred high school fans are "expected
to take this chance of seeing the
Huskers in action. High school play
ers will be guests of the University.
IS
BASIS OF KNOWLEDGE
Professor Addresses Freshman
Engineers on Subject of
"Work."
Prof. C. W. Smith of the College
of Agriculture spoke on the subject,
"Work," to freshman engineering
studenU at orientation Monday at
5 o'clock in Mechanical Engineering
building.
"I learned that labor was the first
step in the road of knowledge. It is
the foundation of all knowledge,"
was quoted by Professor Smith from
a statement of Secretary of Labor
Davis. Prof. Smith described the
rise in business of several men who
had learned the value of work, and
the double value of work md educa
tion. He brought out the fact that it
is not necessary to go away from
home to be successful.
CHINESE MISSIONARY
SPEAKS AT LUNCHEON
Mrs. Barbour Addresses Team
Captains of Grace Cop
pock Campaign.
Mrs. Margaret Barbour, formerly
a missionary to China and at pres
ent -a missionary among the Indians,
spoke to the team captains of the
Grace Coppock memorial campaign
yesterday after a 12 o'clock luncheon.
Mrs. Barbour was a personal friend
of Grace Coppock nd Vera Barger.
"Grace Coppock was considered as
one of the people way up in the Y.
W. C. A. work. She was what none
of us can be, she was a pioneer in
the work. Every movement that was
adapted to the Chin.se Christian
work found its start with Grcce Cop
pock. " She established the physical
education schools with which Vera
Barger, the present missionary, is
associated."
Mrs. Barbour Las been in Cbina
eleven years. She was connected
with the girls school of St Marys
in Shanghai. During the last few
years she has been doing the follow-,
up work of placing Chinese girl grad-
v lies in desirable positions.
