this spring.
Deiire to Aid Klub
Nothing definite was announced
concerning plans to recoup for the
loss. It was intimated that at least
one benefit performance would be
given at a local theater and was
added that a benefit dance of some
kind would be given before the end
of school. School authorities and stu
dents expressed a desire to aid the
Klub in every way possible.
Lincoln merchants and theater
managers expressed a desire to help
the Klub in putting on benefit per
formances and it was thought a
large part of the necessary funds will
be raised in this way.
Personal Claims
Personal claims will be handled
at once in an effort t odetermine the
exact amount of the loss. Members
of the cast of "The Love Hater,"
nearly all of whom borrowed cloth
ing from university students, were
urged to get a list of their losses,
with the exact value of the articles,
compiled today. The Kosmet Klub of
fice in the Orphexim building will be
open from 3 until 5 o'clock this
afternoon. It was definitely stated
that any member of the cast who did
not turn in a list between those
hours with the value of the property
he lost would have abrolutely no re
course to the Klub.
It was found necessary to have
every claim in the office today in
order that definite plans can go
ahead t oraise funds. Members of
the cast were informed they must

THIS (Tf'HPllp) WEEK
make personal calls at the Koamet
Klub office this afternoon to get
claims honored.
Most of. ' the properties were
rented from firms in Lincoln and
Omaha and from individuals. Many
of the costumes were also rented or
borrowed. These represent cash
losses to' the Kosmet Klub.
Property Loss
The loss of properties includes
two pianos from the Crancer music
company, two sets of scenery be
longing to the Kosmet Klub, three
tables, nine chairs, two deck chairs,
table cloths, life preservers, ferns and
plants and one flair back chair, a
family heirloom.
An interesting side light is the
fact that the drummer who carried
no insurance on his instruments lost
his entire outfit in the fire, while the
bass player who had $400 insurance
on his horn took it home with him.
With the exception of the scenery
and sveeral minor articles all of the
properties were rented for the show.
The loss of costume and clothing
was the heaviest of any single item.
The elaborate gown worn by Al
Ernst was one from "Smiling
Through." It was all silk and valued
at more ' than $100. The Spanish
costume worn by Howard Payne had
been shown at a fashion in Omaha
the previous week. Both were rented
for the show.
The Kosmet Klub lost twelve wigs
which it bought last year. They were
real hair wigs imported from Ger
many, representing a large expendi
ture. It also lost seventeen pair of,
women's shoes, twelve pair of opera
hose, and five complete costume
changes for each of the ten members
of the pony chorua.
Individual (property lost in the
fire includes five or six formal gowns,
several fur coats and afternoon
frocks, one imported opera coat, all
borrowed from university women
and nine wardrobe trunks. Hope
was held that some of the trunks
might be salvaged from the water
under the stage so that they would
not represent a total loss.
Individual members of the cast
also lost a considerable amount of
clothing. Bud Bailey was the heav
iest individual loser, losing more
than $240 in clothing. Several of
the men lost shoes, suits, shirts, and
other articles of clothing.
Fortunately several of the men
had taken their property out of the
building in the afternoon and in the
evening after the show. Howard
Payne had taken home the valuable

scarf which he wore in the show.
A hard blow to the Kosmet Klub
was the loss of all its make-up. It
had make-up boxes for every mem
ber of the cast. The financial loss
was' no tso great, but it was a diffi
cult task getting them together.
Cause of Fire Unknown
No investigation has yet been
made to determine the cause of the
fire, according to announcement from
American Legion headquarters yes
terday afternoon. General belief
seems to be that the blaze started
at the stage and worked toward the
oher end.
Berle Ilgen, a senior in tho Col
lege of Business Administration,
made the statement that he had
smelled smoke in the building dur
ing the show, at about 11:30 o'clock,
and that his companion had pulled
her coat uparound her shoulders in
preparation for an early exit.
Members of the cast also reported
smelling smoke back stage both
nights of the performance. They
could find no trace of fire and re
ported the matter to stage hands who
failed to locate any fire. The only
known source of trouble back-stage
was a rheostat which bothered by
over-heating and was believed by
some to have caused the fire.
Rumors were making their way
around the university yesterday that
the Klub was backed by a sinking
fund. As far as The Nebraskan
could learn from Klub members, no
such fund exists. All of the loss will
have to be made up thi sspring by
what the Klub can do on the campus
and sentiment indicated students of
the university were back of the or
ganization in every respect.
It was clearly indicated it was not
the policy of the Klub to "beg" for
money. A fund will be raised by
other means, to be definitely de
cided upon at a meeting tonight after
a statement of all losses has been
compiled.

(Continued from Page 1)
common every-day dresses range
from $10.00 upward to say nothing of
shoes, hose and hats which must be
figured in the task of making both
ends meet. In that respect perhaps
the fire was a benefit.
Propertiei Destroyed
Using figures again we have cos
tumes, clothes, trunks, pianos, seen
ery, properties and etc., which were
entirely destroyed. And that mounts
up in the terms of dollars and cents,
In plain words, things are in a bad
way; especially from the Kosmet
Klub's point of view.
The Wall Street king who awoke
one sunshiny morning to find his pet
stock had dropped ten points while he
slumbered had nothing on the cast
members. After having completed
the last appearance of the show and
going home and to bed and for a
good, pleasant night's sleep mixed
with more, pleasant dreams, they a-
woke to find the Playhouse burned to
the ground, taking everything with it,
even the strings on the grand piano
which melted, for more reasons than
one.
Those who braved the night to wit
ness the affair had to stand at a dis
tance to watch their pet tie and shirt
go up in smoke. Really, in the lan
guage of the street, it was "tough"
The Kosmet Klub is of that mind.

tions imitated ours.
First Dissension
Since that time there have been
a number of incidents that have de
tracted from this admiration and
trust. The first important dissension
came in the Mexican war, which was
clearly a war for conquest as far as
the United States was concerned.
This was the opinion held by all
the Latin American countries, and
the thought of this war still rankles
with our southern neighbors. All
during the following decade, the
speaker pointed out, the idea that
the entirety of the northern hemis
phere should be under Anglo-Saxon
power was dominant in the United
States.
Another striking example of this
domineering policy of the United
States was in the Panama Canal
problem. That the course taken by
President Roosevelt was questionable
and not in line with correct diplo
matic procedure is indeed without
argument.
Monroe Doctrine
Since that time numerous ques
tions have come up of which we can
not judge the feasibility. It was dur
ing the first ten years of the twen
tieth century that we were faced
with the problem of the continuation
or abolition of the Monroe Doctrine.
We chose to continue with it and it
has been the basis of our operations
since that time.
Dean James in his conclusion
stated that the best way to get to the
solution of this problem is not by
recommending any specific legisla
tion but by first studying the condi
tions of our southern neighbors and
to get their viewpoint of the
question.

SUCTMIC
New Uses for Flour
Sacks Are Expounded
Fort Collins, April 16 What in
teresting reading it would make if
we could list some of the important
men and women of the day who, in
their youth, were brought up on (or
in) garments made of flour sacks.
What a roster of names it would be.
True; a flour-sack garment may lack
the beauty of silk, or even of Eng
lish prints, but the material becomes
softer after each successive launder
ing, and many of the garments made
of these sacks are truly attractive.
For dresses, lunch cloths, dresser
scarfs and draperies, as well as un
dergarments, flour and sugar sacks
offer material of interesting texture,
which may be used in its natural
color or dyed in any desired shade.
"As to piecings and joinings," says
Blanche E. Hyde of the Colorado
agricultural college, "it is not a case
of cutting one's garment according
to the cloth, but of 'buying one's
food according to a dress pattern,'
for if the size of the sacks is known,
it is much easier to select a pattern;
or, having in mind a desired style,
why not insist that the family use
enough flour, or purchase flour in
sacks of correct size to provide the
necessary material?"
A 12-pound sack measures 20x21
inches, a 24-pound sack, 26x27 in
ches, a 48-pound one 31x34 inches,
and a 98-pound one 36x42 inches.
The removal of the printing is a
simple matter if one follows this for
mula given by one of the bag com
panies: "Do not use kerosene or other oil
to remove the printing from cotton
flour sacks. Wash out the sacks in
soap and hot water, rubbing the
printed surface on a scrubbing board.
Rinse and then boil the sack in strong
suds for half an heur. Then rinse
and wring out
If traces of the ink still remain,
dip the sack in Javelle1 water, and,
without rinsing, hane in the air for
thirty minutes. Then rinse thorough-J

by boiling two tablespoons of sal soda
in a quart of water for 10 minutes
and then add two tablespoons of

before dipping sacks in it."
The removal of the stitching too,
is easily done if one remembers that
sacks are generally stitched by a
chain stitch machine, which rips like
