Prof. Darlinglon Publishes
Book on Office Management
Comparison Drawn Between
Business Setup, Human
Body Functions.
Helping the business man and
student to become better ac

tem" of big and little business is
the aim of Prof. George M. Dar
lington's recent book on "Office
Management." The working of the
ordinary office are seldom under
stood by the beginner, who finds
himself bewildered and at . loss to
explain the complexiti'.-s which
seem to exist in the same depart
ment. Professor Darlington, how
ever, draws upon his imagination
and succeeds in giving the reader
a summary story on the office set
up by showing its similarity with
the functionings of the human
body.
The business concern must have
a head and brain, which he more
accurately describes as the admin
istrative offices. The business

MEANING OF LENTEN
AT
Presbyterian Pastor Gives
Second Address in Y. W.
Pre-Easter Series.
Dr. Paul C. Johnston, pastor of
the Westminster Presbyterian
church of Lincoln, is scheduled to
give the second of the series of
Lenten addresses sponsored by the
Y. W. C. A. at their regular ves
per services to be held on Tues
day afternoon, March 10, at 5
o'clock in Ellen Smith hall.
The subject which Dr. Johnston
will discuss on Tuesday will be a
further development of the Lenten
theme, introduced last week with
a discussion of "The Origin and
Meaning of Lent," by Dr. Ira W.
Kingsley, pastor of the Grace
Methodist church. The series of
Lenten talks will be continued
throughout the Lenten observance,
previous to Easter and a new in
terpretation of some phase of the
theme is to be discussed at each
meeting, according to Frances
Scudder, chairman of the Y. W.
vesper staff.
Devotionals, relating to the top
ic of the services, will be in charge
of Jeanne Palmer, member of the
Y. W. cabinet. Jane Hopkins, pi
anist of tho vesper choir, wi" pre
sent a prelude to the meeting by
playing several numbers on the
piano. Several numbers will be
sung by the vesper choir, under
the direction of Margaret Phil
lippe, as special music for the
service.
Explaining the value which one
may obtain from attending the
scries of Lenten vespers. Miss
Scudder urged that a large group
plan on hearing Dr. Johnston
speak. "Dr. Johnston is one of
the most popular ministers of the
city and everyone will undoubted
ly enjoy listening to his interpre
tation of the Lenten observance.
This pastor is widely known for
his reputation as an interesting
speaker, as well as for the interest
which he take3 in the activities of
young pe.-p!e, particularly, college
students."

Figure on Two Bases.
Like the ordinary human, the

These two extremities, like the

And just as important, the sales

Meade Collects
Giant Crystals
Lead Sulphide
Grayson Meade, an assistant in
the university museum, made a
collecting trip from Joplin, Mo., to
Arkansas, and brought back to
Morrill ball some giant crvstals
of lead known as galena. This U
the first time that the uinverslty
museum has been able to secure
anv of these crystals of such A
large size. Some of them are five
inches square.
Galena is sulphide of lead and
100 pounds of galena contains over
15 pounds of sulphur and nearly 67
pounds of solid lead. Galena baa
been found in Missouri, Illinois,
Iowa and Wisconsin, in lower Si
lurian rock. In some places the
lead ore is so rich that 1.500 ton
have been secured from a piece of
ground 50 yards square. Som
times lead ore carries considerable
norrntares of silver.
Iead ore has been reported from
i Nebraska bv a number of citizens
