Auction Sale Is Feature of Fine Arts Carnival Paintings of "Mona Liza," Blue Boy" And Others Bring High Figure At First Auction. Ray Ramsay is Auctioneer. An auction sale, the first of its kind to be held, was one of the fea tures of the Fine Arts Carnival held Saturday evening at Morrill Hall. The "Mona Liza," a "colorful" paint ing, drew an especially fabulous sum, and "The Blue Boy" was another which sold at a high figure. Ray Ramsay acted as auctioneer. A modern "Baby Stuart," with jam-smeared features and unruly hair, was a favorite with female art lovers. "The Dance of the Simps" also attracted satisfying attention. All of these paintings were done by students in the School of Fine Arts, under the inspiration of the famous masters. Of the statuary, Venus de Milo, ravishing in a picture hat, was most popular, with 'Winged Victory,, and "The Dying Gaul" close seconds. The auction was held in the gallery on the second floor of Morrill Hall. A large crowd was in attendance. One gallery was given over entire ly to booths, where such carnival dainties as pink lemonade and pea nuts could be bought, along with con xetti, serpentine, and noise-makers. The fortune tellers booth was well attended, and many interesting fu tures were predicted during the eve ning. All the booths were attrac tively decorated, and bright Gypsy and Spanish costumes gave color to the scene. At the height of the merrymaking, "In 1999," a play in which the order of society is reversed, with Herbert Yenne in the role of home-maker, was given. Mr. Yenne took his part convincingly, and a sample of his handiwork, a daintily embroidered layette, was a high spot in the pro duction. Supporting Mr. Yenne, in the parts of Jean and Florence, were Elizabeth Tracy and Viola Loosbrock, who interpreted their lines exception ally well. During the evening there was dancing in one of the gallerys with a HOME EG CHAIRMAN ATTENDS MEETING Miss Marararet Fedde Present at Conference Sponsored by Detroit School Margaret Fedde, chairman, of the department of Homo Economics has just returned from a conference sponsored by the Merrill Palmer School of Detroit.

PHARMACISTS TO HOLD PICNIC New Feature Added To The Program of Annual Pharmacy Week REED TO GIVE TALK Picnic for the Collie of PharmJ acy, which is an added leature 01 Pharmacy Week, is to be held Fri day, May 6. The annual banquet will be the same evening at the Cornhus ker Hotel. The place for the picnic has not been announced, but this new phase of Pharmacy Week is giv ing the students added enthusiasm for their work. Kenneth Reed, general chairman of committees, will give a brief talk concerning the history and scope of Pharmacy Week over the radio from the University broadcasting studio, Tuesday night, May 3. He will take this means, also, of sending invita tions to those out in the state. Favors for Pharmacy Night, May 5, are being prepared by the stu dents. The public is especially invited to inspect the exhibits on this eve ning and to attend the program. Important Event in Work Pharmacy Night is considered an important event in the education of the student since it brings the stu dent and his profession close to gether. Students are held to their classes until the last of the week when their time is then given oveT to preparing their exhibits. Every student in the College is given an assignment for Pharmacy Night and is held responsible for its success. Among the exhibits that evoning, there will be several from the Pliar- maceutical Chemistry Laboratory dealing with oils and butter fat. The modern druggist not only fills your prescription and labels it, "shake well before using," but he may also enter the commercial field where chemists are needed in the analysis and inspection of food products. This college had its origin in 1908, as a School of Pharmacy. In 1915, by virtue of its progress, the legislature established by special act, the Col lege of Pharmacy. Today the College of Pharmacy of the University of Nebraska, because of its accomplish ments ranks foremost among the Colleges of Pharmacy. Due credit for this achievement is given to the Dean of the College, Dr. R. A. Ly man, and hia staff of instructors. May Breakfast For Staffs Held Today The annual May Morning Break fast for all staff members of the University Y. W. C. A. was held this morning at 8 o'clock at Ellen Smith Hall.

This breakfast is an annual affair and is the first official meeting of the staffs who are to carry the work of the Y. W. C. A. for the next year. This breakfast is not to be confused with the inter-sorority May Morning Breakfast. Dean Heooner Returns From National Convention of Altrusa Club in Texas Dean Amanda H. Heppner re turned Tuesday, April 26, from Aus tin, Texas, where she attended the national convention of Altrusa club. Miss Heppner has been the president for the past two years, but at the re cent convention resigned her position. "We were not troubled with the flood, because the M. K. T. railroad ran a detour that took us through Tulsa, Okla., and thus avoided all the high water," stated Miss Heppner when she was questioned about the conditions of the country that has been so devasted by the recent rains. "The delegates from New Orleans crossed the trestle across the Missis sippi above Memphis just two hours before it brok9 and the member coming from Chicago were marooned at Hot Springs and never got there," continued the dean. The recent convention celebrated the tonth anniversary of the Altrusa club which was founded in Nashville, Tenn. The purpose of the organiza tion is to give women a club parellel to the Rotary club, according to Wis Heppner.

HISTORIAN TELLS OF WAR CONDITIONS Dr. Paxson of Wisconsin Outlines . World War Situation at Convocation Friday "The ten years that have elapsed since the World War have brought with them great changes in our minds, and; today it seems almost possible to form a judgment about that matter with which we were con cerned," began Dr. F. L. Paxson, well-known historian and a professor in the history department at the Uni versity of Wisconsin, in his talk be fore 650 students ana raculty mem bers at a convocation in the Temple theater at 11 o'clock Friday morn ing. Dr. Paxson is in Lincoln to speak at the annual State History Teachers' Association. His subject at the coil vocation was "United States in the Battle of 1918." "Belgium," continued the speaker, "has an answer to the question, 'Who won the war?' The people of that country say that because of the un expected resistance they gave the German troops in 1914 they won the war. Countries Believe Won War "England, says she won the war with her navy, Italy says she won the war by keeping the Central Powers from crossing the Alps, and the French say they won the war. The only thing these nations will agree on concerning the war is that whoever (Continued on Page Two.)

Employment Bureau. Spring weather has opened up the outdoor working season. These are not, however, the only kinds of jobs available. Mr. Trumbull states that the work coming in consists of part-time and full-time jobs. 'lhere seems to De a - . . . great demand for the distribution of advertising, which will pay well. Mr. Trumbull would like anyone wishing work to call at the office in the University Y. M. C. A. building and leave with him a schedule of the amount of time they can spend on outside work. ENGINEERS OPEN ANNUAL EXHIBIT Stage Set for Fifteenth Annual Engineers Week Which Begins Tomorrow LINCOLN STORES ASSIST The stage is set for the Fifteen En gineers' Week which opens tomorrow. Ed Jolley, chairman,' and his men have been working for several months to make the annual affair successful. The committee on campus struc tures have tied the dirigible, E'27, to the mooring mast on the lawn near the Administration building. This dirigible was built in the ME labora tory. It represents a field not com monly thought of as a branch of en gineering, aeronautics. The different departments have displays in the windows of down- stores- Each bit representa- live oi liib worn uone in ui ucpari- ment from which it comes. Due to the impossibility of getting windows sooner, a feW of the display- will not be put in until tomorrow, but the most of them went in yesterday aft ernoon. Engineers' Night Old Custcm The first Engineers' Night was celebrated thirty-three years ago by the electrical engineers by an elec trical show on the night of Charter Day, February 15. This first En gineers' Night drew a large crowd of interested spectators and was a huge success. Due to the success of this first performance, the program was continued from year to year. As laboratory enquipment became more common in the other departments the scope of the program was widened to include all branches of engineer ing and the chemistry and physics departments. This was the beginning of Engineers' Night as we know it today. As registration increased and new departments were added with the further addition of laboratory equip ment, the engineers decided to put on a whole week's show to give each department a chance to sell itself to the public. This custom has been maintained ever since and Engineers' Week has grown in popularity until it is now considered the biggest sin gle event of the year for engineers. Furthers College Interest The celebration serves to bring the engineers of all departments to gether teaching them the relation which they have in common with all other branches and giving them an appreciation of the work being done by their contemporaries in the other fields of engineering. It also serves as a definite job set by the students themselves and undertaken and accomplished under their own impetus. It further serves to give parents and the public at large as well as stu dents in other departments of the university a chance to get first-hand information regarding the work car ried on in the College of Engineering.
