LIBRARY GIYEN WISCONSIN
Three Thousand Volumes on Bee
keeping Donated to University
The largest library of books on
beekeeping in America is the Charles
r. Miller Memorial Apicultural li
brary, comprising a collection of
3,000 volumes, at the University of
Wisconsin, according to Prof. II. F.
Wilson, the department of economic
entomology.
On account of the active support
given to the beekeeping industry of
the country by the University of
Wisconsin, the library, together with
an endowment of $2,000, was estab
lished by friends as a memorial to the
services of Dr. Miller lnd placed un
der the custody of the university in
1922. It is now in the Agricultural
College library building.
Books and journals printed in ev
ery civilized language are in this col
lection, and the library is invaluable
for matter of modern research.
Early in January the library re
ceived two complete sets, 30 volume
in all, printed in the Vlaamschen
language from M. Lambrecht of
Louvain, Belgium, a noted beekeeper
"ho, in his 80th year, has donated
his entire library in honor of Dr.
Milller and in appreciation of what
America has contributed to the sci
ence of beekeeping.
Dr. Miller, to whose memory the
library was established, wai' a rest
dent of Marengo, 111. His greatest
contribution, as recognized by his
fellow workers in America and in
foreign countries, was his succesiful
experiments in controlling European
foul brood, a disease destructive to
the industry.

Winter Returns to Nebraska Campus
After Groundhog Goes Back to Nap
Sudden Drop in Temperature Causes
Warm Weather to Vanish; Half
Inch of Snow Fall in Lincoln
Before Dutk Yesterday
Mr. Winter slipped and fell on Lit
tle Miss Spring last night and crush
ed her completely in a very cold and
decided manner. The prophecy,
stating that when the groundhog did
not see his shadow we would have the
beginning of Spring, was proven a
fallacy; and the thought of new
spring hats and gowns that were to
be worn in a few days passed out of
sight.
The weather around Lincoln the
last few days has been anything but
bad, but yesterday the wind changed
and toward noon a severe storm was
in the air. At seven o'clock last
night the official weather report
showed Lincoln to have more precipi
tation than the rest of the storm
area; the amount being .45 inches.

Woman Organizer of "New

Convocation
WILL Bkv ENTERTAINED
Miss Gertrude Ely, who has been
traveling through Kansas and Mis
souri organizing branches of "The
New Voters," a junior section of the
National League of Women Voters,
will speak" to Univeviity wompn ip
the Temple theater, this morning at
11 o'clock on political rights. She
will be entertained at luncheon by
the Lincoln Junior League, and a tea
will be given for all university wo
men, in her honor, this afternoon
from 4 to 6 o'clock, at Ellen Smith
Hall. ,
Miss Ely comes to the University
of Nebraska, to reorganize the Junior
Leaue of Women Voters into a
branch of The New Voters. It has
been found inadvisable to continue
with the present name as it is often
confused with . the Junior League,
which is also a national organization.
This is only the second year of the
New Voters, organized as such. The
work in its organization was carried
on only in eastern colleges last year,
but at the annual spring convention
of the National League it was voted
to send an organizer through the
western states. Miss Ely was chos
en because of her extensive work
along this line since she returned
from France after the war.
In the "Journal of the Mud-House"
Elizabeth Sheply Sargent describes
Miss Ely as the girl whom the war
corespondents, the wounded and lone
ly overseas, college girls, working
pirls, Indians, Civil Service reform
ers, Junior Leaguers, and the New
Voters of the League know as their
devoted friend.

Summer school bulletins of the
University of Kansas will be ready
for distribution by the middle ol
March, according to Prof. W. H.
Johnson, assistant director of the
summer session. This bulletin will
give complete information as to sum
mer school facilities, costs, a state
ment of the curriculum, and desmp
tion of courses.
A preliminary bulletin is off the

director of the school, has reccivea

Illinois and even as far east as To
ledo, Ohio. It extended south into
Kansas, but no farther north than
the boundaries of Nebraska.
The measuring and the watching
of the weather is not as easy a job
as one might think. Careful tests
are made in measuring how much it
rained, at what time, and on what
date, A complete and exact record
has to be kept, and these are sent
in to the United States Weather Bu
reau department. The weather de
partment has helpers in the various
parts of the state known as co-operative
observers. They send in a
monthly report to the department
here which is the head of all the out
state observers.
Precipitation is considered as
snow, rain, hail or sleet. Snow is
melted and added to a known quan
tity of water and then the measure
ment is taken again and that amount
subtracted from the known amount.
In this way a more exact figure can
be obtained than if the snow were
melted by some heating process.
CONDRA TALKS TO CHAMBER
Says University Has Most Extensive
Collection of Books on State
'The University of Nebraska has a
more complete collection of books
telling about the character, re
sources and development of the state
than has any other state in the un
ion," said Dr. G. A. Condra in an
address given before the chamber of
commerce on Wednesday.
Dr. Condra pointed out that the
books printed many times during the
year are valuable to people in learn
ing more about their state as well as
valuable to real estate men in learn
ing more about the thing .that they
are selling.. He also showed how the
radio was the greatest thing for the
selling of Nebraska as well as ad
vertising it to other parts of the
country.
CHAPEL GOERS HAVE
"BRONCHIAL COUGHS"
Students At Williams Find New
Ways To Amuse Themselves
During Sermons
( New Student News Service)
At Williams it is reported that
Chapel goers not only match pen
nies, lay bets on the length of the
sermon or prayer, but also amuse
themselves by coughing. From
authoritative sources The Boston
Transcript reports on this new chapel
amusement.
It is a mixture of the cigarette
cough and the bronchial cough, and
"breaks out at a strategic moment
because of extended sermons or the
Scripture readings. Numerous
freshmen have written home during
their first days at the college that
they are well, but that everyone
else sems to be suffering from bron
chial colds. One professor, when
conducting the service and in danger
of being drowned out, merely stops
until quiet is resumed, while anoth
er is reputed to rapidly skip over
the lesson, reading the end. The
Westinghouse amplifiers, installed in
the chapel this year, have diminished
the former custom of sleeping ir.
the rear pews during the Sunday
sermon. Some industrious students
i now bring a book to read while an
occasional magazine is found left in
a pew "
The practice of reading newspa
pers and letters in morning chapel
has recently fallen off. "A young
eagerly search for his articles dur
ing the service until President Gar
field, conducting the service, remark
ed, "Gentlemen, contrary to the ap
parent belief the lesson is not in the
Springfield Republican, and in the
second book of the Acts."
Choruses Practising
"Guardian Angel"
Rehearsals are progressing rapidly
for "The Guardian A'igel," an ora
torio by Prof. C. S. Skilton of the
University of Kansas, to be given by
the Independence Choral Union when
the Kansas Federation of Music
meets here March 24. A chorus of
250 local children and the Kansas
City Littla Symphony orchestra will
assist in the production.
The Kansas Federation of Music
made possible the publication of the
oratorio, which is based on a legend
of the Moravian settlers about Sa
lem, N. C, in colonial days. Local
subscriptions have financed the pres
entation of the oratorio, and the
audience of 2500 that assembles in
the new memorial auditorium will be
an invited one.
Professor Skilton recently visited
Independence and heard the work of
the two choruses, and was guest of
honor at a dinner here.

HEL BANQUET
IS TONIGHT
Scholarship Awards Will Be
Made to Four Highest
Sororities
PROGRAM KEPT SECRET
Entertainment Will Not Be Known
Until Banquet Tonight at
Scottish Rite Temple
Around 1000 women are expected
to attend the Pan-Hellenic banquet
this evening at the Scottish Rite
Temple. All of the active sorority
women will attend, as will many of
their alumnae. The banquet, spon
sored by the Lincoln Pan-Hellenic
Association, is the first of its kind
ever to be held in Lincoln. It is
hoped, however, that it will become
an annual affair, corresponding to
the men's interfraternity banquet.
The feature of the evening will
be the awarding of the four silver
loving cups by Mrs. R. C. Ames,
president of the Lincoln Pan-Hellenio
Association, to the sororities having
the highest scholastic average for
the year. The cup for the highest
scholarship will become the property
of the sorority which receives it.
The other three cups will rotate
from year to year to the sororities
with the second, third, and fourth
scholastic averages.
Tracing three years back, the fol
lowing sororities won the scholarship
cups: 1921-1922, Kappa Delta, first;
Phi Mu, second. 1922-1923, Alpha
Phi, first; Phi Mu, second. 1923
1924, Alpha Delta Theta, first.
The decoraitons for the banquet
will carry out the scarlet and cream
motif. Red streamers will extend
the length of all the tables. Gold
candlesticks, and white candles tied
with red tulle will complete the de
corations. The Delta Omicron trio
will play during dinner.
Each sorority will have a special
table at the banquet. The tables
will be set around a large open space
allowing ample room for the Awn-
cers. The program is to be kept a
secret until this evening. It is being
offered by th active chapters of the
sororities.
The committee for this unusual
women's affair comprises Mrs. Thel
ma Sealock, in charge of the banquet
menu; Miss Blanche Garten, pro
gram; and Miss Helen Tuttle, plate
reservations.
Tickets for the banquet were sold
for $1 each. Every sorority house
is closing its table for the evening
so that all the girls will go to the
banquet.

Fraternities Join Together in Drive
To Secure Lower
Walking May Become Custom at Ne

Rented Cars Are Reduced; Sorori
ties Taking Part in Movement
Walking may become the custom
among the students of the University
of Nebraska again as the resul. of an
action started this week t secure a
reduction in the price of renting cars.
Not only is the movement designed
to secure cheaper rat.j of transpor
tation by renting cars but also to
urge sudents to return to the custom
of a few years ago and walk on their
dates.
More than twenty-five fraternities
have joined the movement, started
this week, to secure a return to the
old rate for renting cars. Not only
have the fraternities started the
movement, but a number of sororities
have expressed approval of the at
tempt to secure lower rates. In ad

Oklahoma Scholastic RoluS
Fraternities at Oklahoma A. and
M. College are not permitted to ini
tiate new men if the scholastic
standing of the active chapter is be
low the average of the student body.
Rent - A - Ford Rates
have approved the movement.
The attempt to Becure lower rates
was started by a number of individ
ual students. They personally decid
ed not to pay the increased rates an
nounced last week by the ten com
panies operating in Lincoln. Their
example was followed by others, and
soon several fraternities decided to
join the movement.. Now nearly all
the fraternities, and most of the sor
orities, are behind the project.
A leader of the movement yester
day explained that this was not a
boycott. "We merely wish to show
the companies that students of the
University cannot be forced to pay
these exorbitant prices, which we be
lieve thoy are," he stated. "The
number of companies operating in
Lincoln has increased ten-fold in the
last five years, which certainly shows
that they are profiting. Surely, with
such a nice income they do not need
the increased rates, but merely are
attempting to bleed the students.

CANDY PLANS A
NEW CALENDAR
University Professor Is De
signer of Perpetual
Schedule
MAKES NO BIG CHANGES
The plan for a perpetual calen
dar, purposed by Prof. A. L. Candy
of the University, is discussed in
the February number of The Ne
braska Alumnus. The calendar
would contain twelve months as does
the present calendar, but four
January, April, June, and October
would consist of thirty-one days, and
the remaining eight months, of thirty
days each. New Year's Day would
come at the last of December. The
extra day for leap year would be
known as "Midsummer Holiday."
Professor Candy states that u is
not necessary to make any radical
changes in the present calendar to
secure a perpetual calendar. He is
very much .' favor of revising the
calendar as now stands.
The Equal Month Calendar As
sociation purposes another new plan
in which the year would consist of
thirteen months of exactly four
weeks each. The remaining 365th
day is to be placed between the
thirteenth and first months, and is
called New Year's Day. The extra
day in leap year would be, as Pro
fessor Candy's calendar, a "Mid
summer Holiday." His criticism of
this plan is that it is too radically
changed from the present system,
and the division is made into thir
teen parts, a prime number.

FEE TALKS TO
WORLD FORUM
ON 'PROGRESS'
Lincoln Business Man Says
Good Conditions Help
Progressiveness
HARMONY GREAT FACTOR
Selfishness of Executive or Worker
Leads to Discord, Speaker
Tells Listeners
Progress in business lies in im
provements which make possible bet
ter conditions for all classes and safe
ty for all workers, was the conclu
sion drawn from the address of O. J.
Fee, Lincoln business man, on "Pro
gress and Business" before the World
Forum yesterday noon at the Grand
Hotel.
Mr. Fee compared business with
harmony, showing that what was har
mony a generation ago is discord to
day. He stated that it was necessary
to secure harmony in business be
tween the two factors that always ex
ist; those serving and those to be
served.
"In mass," he stated, "we have
complications. Two of us can get
along fairly well. But even as small
a grouping as two generally combines
two types. The president is gener
ally a man of vision. The secretary-
treasurer is generally a practical
man from the economic standpoint.
Thus when people get together in the
mass they have a directing and an
operating hand.
"If selfishness comes in on either
side, it injures the other. We must
have an understanding in business
every night. We must have such an
understanding not only in relation to
industry but also in relation to home
environment. When the employer
sees the home situation of his em
ployee and vice-versa, better co-operation
is bound to ensue.
"The increasing numbers in our in
dustrial organization make it increas
ingly difficult to keep harmony. The
progressive man is the man who real
izes that the proper tone mifi b
"""tuined at all times all along the
line.
"We are getting along better now
because we understand the relations
to one another and to the public bet
ter than ever before. We must al
ways have the consumer in mind. He
must realize he must pay a fair price
for the products that he needs.
"It is necessary to relieve the ten
sion in industry. Among the ne
groes, music is a common sedative.
Rest periods serve the same purpose
among other laborers. The liberat
ing of men's minds is the greatest
thing that America has given to the
world.
"The realization of the necessity of
relieving the tension makes progress
not only in service but also progress
for the co-operating units that serve.
Contacts with people are immensely
valuable. They give one an under
standing of group psychology so
necessary for progress.
"The employer must pay wages
that make it possible for employees
to give their children education. The
children should always have more op
portunities than their parents had.
We make progress by the distribution
of profits among the co-workers and
the public. Also we make progress
by improved methods which makes
employment safer."
STATE COMMITTEE ORGANIZED
Group Will Study Electricity on
Farm Under E. E. Brackett
Advantages of electricity on the
the farms as well as the possibility
of it being used to a greater ad
vantage has been the cause of the
organizing of a state committee by
Dean E. A. Burnett of the College of
Agriculture. It will bo the duty of
the committee to study the rural
electric problem. Professor E. E.
Brackett, who has carried on an in
vestigation of rural electric service
for the College of Agriculture, is
Secretary of the committee.
Mr. Erackett stated that there
were a great number of inquiries
from the rural districts from those
ho were using electricity or going
to use it. "Wide interest has been
shown in the matter." Mr. Brackett
said, "and Nebraska wants to know
if Agriculture can benefit from in
creased use of electricity as the
manufacturing and industrial world
has done. Nebraska's committee
will try to find the facts."
Dean Burnett was chosen chairman
of the Executive Board; Dean Fergu
son of the Engineering college was
chosen vice-chairman; and E. E.
Brackett was named secretary. Other
members that are connected with
the university that are on the gener
al committee are, Miss Margaret
Fedde, chairman of the Home Eco
nomics department; George Jackson,
secretary of the Nebraska Board of
Agriculture; and W. R. McGeachen,
secretary of the Nebraska Depart
ment of Agriculture.
