Upholders or tbo existing system,

of the whole atudent body than the
May Queen. The objection was
made to this tout freshmen and
aophomorea do not know enouth
about senior women to choose one
representative of the class.

In supporting the popular elec

HOUSE DEFEATS BILL
Measure Concerning Issue
Of Certificates Loses
By Large Margin
II. R. 417, a measure supported
by State Superintendent Taylor and
providing that all teachers certif
icates should be issued by him, was
badly defeated in the House Thurs
day by a vote of 65 to 22. In attack
ing this bill several members very
stronglv protested against paid ed
ucational lobbyist and tbe expen
diture of state funds for the circu
lation of so-called legislative propa
ganda from a etate office.
Led by Representative Wilson of
Dawes county and Burke of Cum
ing, the opposition to the bill at
tacked the propaganda favoring the
bill which was presumably issued
from the superintendent's office.
Tliis dealt with H. R. 417 and con
tained some mention of the heads
or the four normal schools oppos
ing the bill.
If in order to get this power in
lils hands," said Mr. Burke, "the
state superintendent must cbeapej
and belittle the heads of our four
great normal schools and in a tur
ther statement tells you what fine
men they are. how can he ask for
this power w ith any expectation of
co-operalion."

before an audience of 8,400. tbe

style. Backstage, they mide the ac

Curator Finds
Aged Red Cedar
Buried in Iowa
"And this piece of red cedar ia
100.000 years old."
"It would be good material for
some girls' cedar chests, wouldn't
It?"
"Well, a number of souvenirs
have come from tbe tree on which
this was found:"
Curator E. E. Blackman of tbe
state historical society was on an
exploring tour in Io?.a several
years ago and among other dls
coverlea be found a splendid red
cedar tree In a deep gully near
Missouri Valley. It was buried un
der twenty feet of loes soil, blue
clay, and geologists have estimated
Its age at 100,000 years.
The tree ia weighed down by a
huge boulder, weighing nearly 200
pounds, and as it would probably
cost $1,000 to excavate the tree
and place it in a museum, Mr.
Blackman contented nimseu uy
hacking a few pieces out of the
trunk for specimens. One of the
specimens is on exhibit in the his
torical society's rooms In the
basement of the library and was
the subject of the remarks at the
first of tbe story. The specimen
Is about eighteen inches long,
three inches through, and still
possesses a fragrant, red cedar
odor.
Found in Nebraska
The original tree near Missouri
Valley was about eight inches
through. Its length Is unknown
since It has never been excavated.
It is thought that the tree was
growing before the glacial period
because the blue clay, in which it
was found, made up the entire
world before the time of the ice
fields.
The reason it has ijoi decayed
is that there was no fungus before
the glacial period and since then
tbe tree has been buried so that
fungus could not reach It. The
boulder which pinned the tree
down is composed of quartzlte and
is supposed to have been brought
in by the huge ice drifts.

Moliere Presents Farce
Moliere is the master French !
playwright of the past century and
the farce is excellently executed.
Laughs are plentiful and the snob- j

Talks Continue
On Home-Made
Music Makers
Dr. C. C. Weidemann. professor
of education and director of the bu
reau of research, continued his
series of lectures on "Home-Made
Musical Instruments" yesterday by
broadcasting from the University
of Nebraska radio station through
KFAB a talk on "The Vitratone."
Tbe Vitratone is an instrument
conaisting of strips of plate glass
tuned to form a musical scale. The
glass varies from three-sixteenths
to five-sixteenths of an inch in
thickness and the strips are usually
about two Inches wide. The vitra
tone la somewhat similar to the
klndlestone in appearance which is
a forerunner of the modern xylo
phone. The klndlestone, however,
waa made from bars of wood and
the tones are distinctly different in
quality.
Speaker Deacribea Vitratone
The vitratone ia a primitive be
ginning of tbe modern instrument
called the celestaphone. Musical
tonea are produced when the strips
ot glass are r truck In the middle
with rapid alternate tape from two
or more mallets. Low or bass tones
require soft mallets; high or so
prano tones require hard mallets;
and alto or medium ton's require
medium hard mallets.
The glass strips are rested on
four rolls of newspaper about an
inch In diameter, held together by
rubber bands or twine. Mallets are
constructed by wrapping a cork
with hard twine and Inserting a
twig handle. This Instrument, aa
well as the many others used in
these lectures, baa Actually been
made by Prof. Weidemann and waa
used in hla radio talk. Many tunes
can be played on tbe vitratone.

Annual Guest Night
Dancing Events
Annual traditional guest night
was held by Orcbesis Wednesday
night, March 27, at the women's
gymnasium, with an attendance of
more than two hundred people.
Tbe first half of the program was
oevoted to explanation and demon
stration of fundamentals of classi
cal dancing, and tbe second part
of the program consisted of origi
nal dances by the girls themselves.
Poems were read aa accompani
ment for some of Ibe dances, and
music for others.
Numbers for guest night are
chosen from dances given by
groups within Orcbesis. At the
first part of the second semester,
Orchesls is divided into four groups
hnd each group puts on a program.
Kach girl in the group gives two
original dances, and then tbe croup
gives a dance as a whole. The
most appropriate numbers are
chosen to be given on guest night.
Program for this year consisted
of tbe following dances: "Skele
tons." "Runaway Boy." "Moon
child," "Dawn," "Humoresque fpe
anist)." "Second rjfmjpt (peanist),"
"Slavery,' iiiars," "When Age
Comes nfl," and "Street Song."
Names of the participating women
are never given, because it la felt
tbat the inspiration of the dances
comes from the group as a whole
rather than directly from tbe wom
an herself.
