ana has grown from a few mem
bers to 2.r0 members at the pres
ent time. Its membership now is so
large that it does not seek any
more members but from time to
time Invites qualified Individuals to
membership.
Keene Abbott of Omaha was the
first president of the guild, ana
Hartley Burr Alexander, formerly
of the University of Nebraska de
partment of philosophy, was the
president in 1926. The guild ha
been noted for numerous outstand
ing men and women. One of tu
most popular and best loved mem
bers has always been Bess Streeter
Aldrlch of Elmwood, Nebraska,
whose latest novel. "A Lantern In
Her Hand," has run into its tenth
edition.
Young People Belong
"Nebraska Is qu"e fortunate in
having so many writers," stated
Mr. Crawford, president of the
guild, "and It is interesting to note
the number of younger people be
longing to the guild .They are forg
ing to the front in literature and
their achievements are truly worth
while." He declared that the state
of Nebrask a is Just beginning to ap
preciate its writers and that Ne
braska writers who a few years ago
succeeded in gaining only local at
tention are now nationally and In
ternationally known.
One well known member is Dean
J. E. LeRosslgnol, who has recent
ly had a call from one of the lead
ing Canadian magazines for a se
ries of short stories based on Ca

ment. His many articles on outdoor
interests have appeared in various
magazines.

Francis A. Flood's story of
"Travel by Motorcycle Across the
Sahara," is the late addition to a
long list of Nebraska achievements
in the field of letters. Miss Bess

Curator Tclh
Much Relative
To Crane Life
V. ii. Collins, curator of the uni
versity museum tn Morrill hall,
chose for the theme of hla regular
Th'irf'ltr mn-nlnr radio talk, a
mounted specimen of a sandhill
crane which was presented to the
museum by Martha Turner of the
State Historical society. This speci
men was obtained in Washington
county. Colorado.
Collins wpnt on to say that this
species of crane w-as at one time
abundant in Nebraska, where It
used to breed In some of our
marshes. It still may be se.-n dur
ing migration, arriving late In
March and during April, and leav
n. in Oninh,.r ti still dos breed
in the sandhill reslon of the west
ern part of the state, but not nearly
as much as formerly.
Describes Wooing Methods
Regarding the methods of the
birds in their wooing. Mr. Collins
said. "As soon as they arrive the
males and females begin conrMng
each other. This may sound
strange in the way I have put it.
In most cases of bird courtship It
Is the male who does the active
wot Ing. but in the case of the
cranes the females meet the males
at least halfway In all the antics
of .eaplng and bowing, and hop
ping and skipping, circling wi.h
drooping wing nd whooping In a
sort of croak that goes to make up
courtship.
They all work themselves up Into
a fever of excitement and the danc
ing only stops when every bird Is
exhausted." The part the female
plays In this Is only exceeded in
one other kind of bird, a waterfowl
In which the female does all of the
courting. This will be the subject
of a talk at some later date.
Find Many Fossils
According to Mr. Collins, the
crane Is an ancient kind of bird,
which mav be found as a fossil n
the rocks of Greece and also in
France TheBe fossils may also be
found on this side of the Atlantic
in vew Jersey, several places in
Wyoming, and alfio in Colorado. An
excellent example was found in the
valley of the Niobrara river in
1870. by Dr. F. V. Haydon, the cele
brated pioneer geologist.
The crane was named Grus na
denl, in honor of Doctor Haydon,
and is now in the Academy of Nat
ural Sciences at Philadelphia. Mr
Collins mentioned the fact that he
regretted not having this specimen
in the Morrill hall exhibits but he
pointed out that the the museum
did not exist at the time thnt this
was found.
Cranes Cover World
Cranes are to be met with today
in all parts of the world with the
exceptions of New Zealand and
South America. There are fifteen
different kinds now existing, of
which three are to be found in

gathering C,r"k army beneath the
walls of Troy to the noise of a
flock of cranes gathering in the

fered an explanation that the
cranes arrived each season to eat

and goes on to tell how they wott!i

stories never were considered very ;
seriously, but when Stanley discov
ered Livingstone, he also discov
ered a race of pygmies and for a
time it looked as 11 there might bt
something in the stories after all.
Greece Plans Park
While speaking Of Grecian mythi
Mr. Collins called attention to the
fRCt that there Is a movement In
Oreece to convert Mount Olympus
and the surrounding country Info a
national park similar to that 01 1
Yellowstone in this country. ;
The curator said that lots of peo
ple were apt to be a little Impatient :
towards myths and legends these
days, but he called attention to the
Importance they really play in ottf
every day life. In the United States ,
we hav thirteen towns called Vul
can, thirteen called Minerva, thir
teen called Vesta, and ten called
Venus, not to mention scores of
other places whose names recall j
those gods and goddesses.
To bring It a little closer home, ;
h pointed out the towns In this
section of the country named after :
some character in Greek mythol
ogy. Homer. South Dakota, is ono
Instance. Then we have Ktna. Syr- j
acuse, Ravenna and Sparta In Ne-;
braska. "Once at Ravenna in Buf-
falo county the very Ftreets cry out. ;
Let me give you the names of some j
of them. There is Genoa, the birth- I
place of Columbus: Verona whera j
Komeo and Juliet once lived; Cor
inth, the city to the former inhahl- j
tants of which 8alnt Paul wrote ;
his famous epistles; Carthage, the j
great Phoenician city that the Ro- ,
mans ploughed under the sands,
and a host of others." Also there is
Sparta in Knox county and Venus
in the same county. '
