THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Collins Tells of Bird Specimens and Habits in Weekly Speech Over Radio Prof. F. G. Collins, assistant cur sor of the museum, gave a weekly. Lik over the radio, Thursday, on the subject of birds, stressing: the hope of the museum to eventually have In L bird gallery not only specimens M If all the birds of this country but ft i. their eesrs and nests. So far there are about fifty nests of various Inkds, but they are Btill a long ways from 'their goal. jlr. Assendorf of Lincoln, made a welcome addition to the collection by presenting three new nests. One nest n which the museum is particularly interested in securing is that of a Kingfisher, whose nest is made up largely of fish bones, the partially digested bones of his victims. Oriole Net One of the most beautiful thoughts about bird nests is that expressed by Longfellow when he calls them half way houses on the road to heav en. The nests Mr. Assenford brought i were once Ihe homes or orioles. Oriole nests are truly characteristic of the nests built by birds. People who think birds build their nests as a matter of instinct and never alter them are wrong, said Mr. Collins. Birds like human beings change their habits as their conditions are changed. Even if orioles are sometimes mis chevious and destructive, opening pods an4 eating young peas, and damaging pods in search of honey, we must remember that they do kill an enormous number of insects. This should make the birds our friends. He gave here some very interesting facts about the somewhat promiscu ous yet shameless life of the cow bird. You can find all the family of the Icteridae in the museum,, among which there are the Bobolinks, the Meadolarks, Black birds, Grackles and Orioles. By seeing the whole family group together you will be able to notice some of the resem blances which , have made naturalists think they belong to the same family. Associated with them as far as spec- imans go, you will find their eggs. sophomore star sent English, the Missouri vaulter, to defeat last week. The team is in good shape except for Captain Wyatt's bad arch which has improved greatly. Chemists Read Papers At St. Louis Meeting (Continued from Page 1) facetious manntr," said Dan Thomp 6on, "that his introduction was per haps overdone, but that he was glad to return to the work of chemistry. He suggested that all young men keep out of executive work if possi ble." Twenty-two attended a Nebraska luncheon held Tuesday noon. The group consisted of those now teach ing at the University, and those who have been here in the ""past. Dr. Av ery spoke at this luncheon, stating that he was pleased to return to the folds and fellowship of the chemists. Many Papers Other papers presented by mem bers of the University faculty were: "The Oxidation of Carbohydrates," by Dr. F. W. Upson, R. V. McGrew, and E. J. Boschult; "A Study of A luminum Oxide," by Dr. H. G. Dem ing and Clare Prather; and "The Significance of Endogenous nitrogen in a Study of The Utilization of Pro-, teins by Hens," by Dr. C. W. Acker son. Dean Thompson stated that $360, 000 was given the Chemical Society for publishing the chemical litera ture of the world. "Dr. William J. Mayo, of Roches ter, Minn., gave an interesting talk in which he explained the cause of prohibition," continued Dean Thomp son. He said that people have gone in for wines and beer, ale or gin, only in preference to pure water. When their water was purified, they turned to prohibition. People were saved from extinction in France and Italy by the drinking of billions of gallons of wine. They would have died if they had had to drink their i polluted water. The introduction of pure water in our country has been followed by a temperance move' ment, and finally by prohibition. "It was also stated at the meet ing," concluded Dean Thompson, "that the scientist used to be con sidered a 'queer fish.' But civiliza tion has come to realize that it de pends on science. The chemist is no longer a 'moss-back.' " Those present at the meeting, be sides Dr. Avery-were Dr. T. J. Thompson, dean of student affairs; Dr. F. W. Upson, chairman of the department of chemistry; Dr. H. G, Deming; Dr. D. J. Brown; Dr. W. H Adolph; Dr. C. W. Ackerson; Dr. B, C. Hendricks; Prof. R. C. Abbott; and William Prather graduate stu dent of chemistry. , mm 'SIS- A Fast Frolicsome Farce Comedy "Here Conies The Bride" Merriment built on (treat situations Laughs Romance Novelty EVE. 25c, 60c, 75c MAT. 25c, 50c.

However, the Nebraska leader has declared no in tentions of taking part in this cruel insr contest, and it is believed he will save his strength for the relay events Saturday. Coach Schulte and Janulewicz accompanied these two men to make arrangements for the housing and participation of the team while in Lawrence. Griffin, gritty little distance man who pushed Keith, Valley indoor dis tance champion, hard m the 2-mile race of the recent Oklahoma-Husker dual meet, has been added to the Ne braska squad and will run in the 3,000 meter race. This brings the team total to twenty-six, since Flem ing and Benbrook who were on the doubtful list are going to make the trip. Seven Nebraska track fans will drive the squad to Lawrence today. Make Auto Trip Those men who will furnish ma chines are: assistant coach "C Rhodes; Coach Browne of Lincoln high school; Walter Black, Havelock high coach; Herb Gish, athletic di rector; Bob Russell, Haley Bowers, and Doctor H.

Retorts indicate a number of students will drive to the Kansa track carnival, which is one of the biggest in this section of the country. Coach Schulte has his charges en tered in every evnt except the sprint onH merllev relavs and the 3000 meter run. Harold Keith, Sooner dis tance star will toe the mark in the latter event and at present is one of the favorites. The Missouri Valley conference schools will present strong representation in the meet with Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska furnishing the bulk of the Valley hopefuls.

Pud Tents on Drill Field May Have Resembled Coops, But Far From It (By Alena Miner) . No, they haven't moved the chick nea in from the College of Agricul ture campus even if it did look that way yesterday morning when the drill field was covered with little canvas houses that looked like chicken . m it 1 . A - i coops. It was only me caaeis learn ing to set up pup tents. If they are called pup tents that doesn't mean that they are for the dogs. No, the boys must learn to puc them up in case they are out and need shelter. A passer-by could note all kind of expressions as the boys were working. The captain was always ready with his written directions in case the tent didn't fit as it Bhould. From the way the boys talked and the way Annual Round-Up Plans Discussed (Continued from Page 1) Round-Up will be held May 24, 25 and 26. Chancellor Burnett pointed out that l!he University expects its alumni to accept the responsibilities of lead ership in the several professions en tered; to realize their responsibility to the public, inasmuch as the tax payers spend a great deal of money on the public education; to return af fection for their alma mater, the in stitution which gave you these oppor tunities. 'You will come back to re unions. Your memory will run back to the years you spent in it. And you will have regard for its interests.' Further, the Chancellor stressed the fact) that alumni are expected to support the University in its needs; as you assume positions of import- Typewriters For Rent All standard makes special rat to stu dents (or long; term.

Mr. Ramsey quoted the association constitution for engendering service of alumni to the University as his text, and proclaimed that it is "try ing to build a University spirit care fully to develop the school which gave us our education." In speaking for thousands of alum ni, Mr. Ramsey declared that "we want you to help make Round-Up a success, to foster the spirit of those who proceded you and I." He drew the point that without the University there could be no individual organiza tion, and that it therefore behooved each organization strengthened by its support, the institution for which each primarily existed. It is the chance of seeing their old college chums that draws the, alumni back, declared Mr. Holtz. in presenting the Dix Reunion Plan. He urged the groups to especially invite their alumni of the reunion classes of '90, '91, '92, '93, and of '09, '10, '11, and '12, and of the twenty- year honor class, '08. By so doing, you will greatly increase the inducement for individual return. they looked one would think that the tents went together something like a Chinese puzzle. Perhaps the captains nad vivid re membrainces of the time that they had to do the same thing. Now was their chance to see some one else la bor.
