of Conoera o Women.
Miss Laura Drake Gill, chairman of the
General Federation's education committee,
has Issued the following formal announce
ment which will be especially gratifying
to Nebraska club women:
Mlsa Juliet Stuart Points of New York
has been awarded the Kngllsh scholarship
of the General Federation of Women's
Clubs. This Is the first scholarship ever
granted to an American woman under the
exact forms of competition by which the
Rhodes scholars are chosen from among
our American men.
While the officers of the Rhodes trust
were generous enough to examine the can
didates for the federation scholarship, yet
they have no responsibility for scrutiny ,
or the rinai credentials wnicn determine
the so-called "highest promise to distinc
tion" among those candidate. who have
successfully passed the qualifying exami
nations. Klght candidates entered for the com
petition elx of these women took the full
examinations one from each of the states
of Alabama, California, Iowa, Minnesota,
New York and Ohio.
While Miss Points has clearly won her
supremacy, and thereby receives an award
of $1,600 for a year's study in England
for the coming academic year of 1910-11,
yet she has had an able second In the
candidate from Ohio, Miss Mary Treudley
of Athens, a graduate of Ohio university
In the class of 1906 and at present a grad
uate student in the University of Chicago.
The third In standing, who also deserves
recognition for her attainment In the ex
aminations, is Miss Lillian Matherson
Lotspelch of the University of Alabama.
The competition has genuinely proved to
be a national one, as these facts show.
Miss Points, the successful candidate,
was born In Omaha in 1886, fitted for col
lege In the public schools of Jersey Cltv,
graduated from Barnard college In 1907,
worked for two years under the Unted
States commission of Immigration, and is
now teaching In the department of history
of Barnard college and completing her
work for the doctorate of phllosophv. Her
research in England will deal with the In
dustrial revolution of the last century
and its bearing upon the labor of women.
Mrs. Eva Perry Moore In her March
letter to members of the Genral Feder
ation says:
As the time draws near when our de
partment chairmen are considering their
returns to you of work accomplished and
their recommendations for the future, I
realize more and more how fine they are,
how persiatent, self-sacrificing as to time
and effort, earnestly endeavoring to "hitch
up truth to facts," In the words of Abe
Mulkey, "and plough deep, never slacking
until the entire field is broken up." I
ask careful consideration for their sake,
as well as for the work Itself, of the
blanks that are coming this month to every
club in every state.
It has been brought to my attention
that loan scholarships are being urged In
many states, showing careful, thorough
work In education. As far as I am In
formed, this remarkable work Is being
carried on In fifteen states, five having
also the award, by courtesy of appointment,
of a number of high school and university
scnoiarships. I shall consider It a favor
if every state federation having any loan
fund of Its own controlling the use of a
fund will send me exact facts and figures.
I am frequently asked to refer others to
states for data, and shall be very glad to
receive definite information.
As we approach the biennial, requests
have come that the attention of everv
club member should be drawn to the printed
report 10 oe issuea during tne summer.
It Is possible, from past experience, a larger
sum may be asked for the report. The
edition was exhausted, and, more than the
price was often paid In sending and in
aome casen returning consignments. I
suggest that state presidents come advised
as to exact number of reports desired that
will be paid for. This is exclusive, of
course, of the copies sent to every organ
ization In membership entirely free. It it
Is known that a larger number would be
purchased, tne rormer price might suffice.
Every word that come from Cincinnati
shows aotivlty. Interest and Judgment as
to tne Dest means or giving a beautiful
setting to the tenth biennial.
We snail look for a full quota of dele
gates from every club In the state.
Have you noticed the mapT
The Utited States is entitled to about
17S delegates at the World's Young Wo
men's Christian association conference to
be held in .Berlin in May. This number
has been divided proportionately among
the state and territorial committees so
that every section of the country may be
represented at this important session. No
state or territory has as yet secured its
full quota, but the, list will soon be com-
I plete, as It is neceesai r that the committee
I know the personnel of the delegation as
soon as possible that arrangements for
transportation and conduct of the party
may be completed. Members who are trav
eling abroad are being urged to attend the
meeting and credentials will be sent them.
Communication with these absent members
will have to be made through their home
associations. The cost of the trip will be
300, and the opportunity will be embraced
by many young women.

Inviting
T IS not good form for a
woman to Invite another
woman, a stranger, to an en
tertainment without first
having railed on her, or at
least left cards.
If the prospective hostess calls she
may deliver a verbal Invitation, or
write afterward. If she wishes to be
more formal.
Not long ago a woman who has al
ways lived In a small town was told
that a New York woman, whose
relatives she knew, was visiting for
two days In her city. The resident
telephoned the stranger asking her
to dinner the next evening, and
thought It odd when the latter de
clined. She did so because she real
ized that It would not have been good
for her to accept the Invitation of
a woman whom she had never met.
What the resident should hae done
was to go to the hotel where the New
Yorker was staying, leave her card
if the stranger was out. and then tele
phone or send a note of Invltitlon by
hand.
Another woman who had not called
on a bride sent her 'husband to the
this vessel and use It on an oil stove, li
is claimed biscuit may be baked In like
manner. The top of the cooker Is per
forated and any pot or kettle placed over
the holes will boll while food Is baked In

Influence of the Home.
Home Is a boy's training ground for the
qualities which lead to manliness the
chivalrous protection for those who are
weaker; gratitude, love and generosity to
ward those to whom it is definitely due;
respect for authority; courage to bear dis
appointments; consideration for others; the
sense of how each must do his duty for the
good of all.
The most beautiful characteristics of a
manly nature are strength and tenderness,
and these are cultivated in the home asso
ciations and through a mother's Influence.
A boy should contribute toward the com
fort and pleasure of every one In the home
by being cheerful, reasonable, courteous,
punctual. His mother teaches him that
personal neatness and orderliness are es
sentials in home life. She sees that his
own room Is an encouragement to neatness.
His tennis racquet, bat, school books, hat,
clothing or other belongings are not to be
scattered about, but put each In Its place.

Carl A. Stonehlll, who will be recalled by

In the nineties, having failed. Later he
paid off all his local obligations, dollar for

Recitation to Music King Robert of

Music by Rossetter G. Cole.
This was the program which Mr.
Dlspham chose to present to a very large
audience at the Young Men's Christian as
sociation auditorium last night. It was
one of the recitals of Miss Evelyn Hop
per's successful series. The audience was
very apperclative and applauded the old.
old songs with customary vigor and ortho
dox appreciation. The genial Mr. Bispham
was in his happiest frame of mind, and
"Hark, Hark the Lark," and "Who Is
Sylvia?" and "Drink to Me Only With
Thine Eyes," and "Richard of Taunton
Deane," and Meyerbeer's "Monk" do
lighted the people very much. Indeed.
in the old English song, "The Bailiff's
Daughter of Islington," one of those
highly moral and eminently respectable
ballads which tell of a youth and a maid
and constancy and all that, was the text
really made much of by Mr. Bispham: In
the singing of that number the singer
showed his clear enunciation) and his elo
cution of the English text In song was
worth going specially to hear.
Mr. Bispham has been In better voice
on previous occasions, as last night In two
numbers early in the program his In
tonation was convincingly untrue. It Is
to be regretted that he did not receive
the support and the background from his
accompanist which should have been there.
Mr. Bispham has not strengthened his
company since his last appearance. An
accompanist nowadays is a very valuable
and very necessary part of a song recital:
the modern recital program demands Just
as much of the accompanist at times as It
does of the singer.
Mr. Bispham Introduced some songs by
American composers which were of mixed
value. Some wre Interesting, none were
absorbing, but all might be worthy of a
second'hearing. In connection with these
songs Mr. Bispham remarked: "We need
not go abroad any longer to find high Art
In music. If we look around us a little,
we will find lots of It at home." This pa
triotic little sally brought out Its meed
of appreciative applause from those who
agreed with Mr. Bispham. In a sense It
Is true. We are "exporting" our singers.
And "supporting" those who are "im
ported." Mr. Bispham closed his program with a
recitation to music, a branch of the art in
which Mr. Bispham excels. In that "King
Robert of Sicily" the wonderful powers of
the man's personality rose to the sublime
heights of genius. His interpretation, his
play of features, the well-controlled use
of his rolce, Its various moods and colors
combined to make a complete perform

Public Library
Brotherhood Makes Present of Its
Collection for Benefit of
People of City.
The Omaha Public library has recently
received from Lodge No. 19 of the Danish
brotherhood its entire collection of books
In the Danish language. Up to the present
time these books have been circulated by
the society among Its members, but, hop
ing to serve a larger number of people,
the members decided to deposit these at
the public library, to see If they might
not be of greater value to the public.
These books are now on the shelves
ready for circulation and many Danish
readers are already taking them from
the library. This collection contains some
of the greatest names In Danish literature,
having been very carefully selected from
time to time by the society mentioned.
The members of the board of the Omaha
Public library always feel under great
obligations to any organization which as
sists In the distribution of books, par
ticularly in the case of foreign books, the
fund for these being . somewhat limited.
This is the second large collection that
has been received, the one previous to
this having come from a Bohemian society.
A small collection has also been received
from ono cf the Jewish societies. This
last gift of Danish books brings that col
lection up to, possibly, 600 volumes. These
books may be "drawn from the library
under the same rules as those governing
all books for circulation.
REPORT SAYS WINTER WHEAT
ACREAGE UP SEVEN PER CENT
I'pdlke Company Declares Twenty
Five Counties Better Thirteen
Like Last Year.
An Increase in the acreage of winter
wheat in Nebraska amounting to 7V per
cent is shown by the latest winter wheat
report prepared by the Updike Grain com
pany. During 1909 Nebraska raised 49,600,000
bushels of winter wheat, and 124 reports
from forty-two counties which raise 90 per
cent of the winter wheat show an average
damage to the growing crop of 12 per
cent
The report also shows that 7,500,000
bushels, or 1614 per cent of the old crop, is
still in the hands of the farmers. Accord
ing to the table, twenty-five counties show
an Increase In acreage, thirteen are the
same as last year and three show a de

At the Theater
Beverly of Granstark" at the Kiw.
The picturesque of the old world spiced
with a dash of Idealized Americanism
forms the background of the pretty story
of "Beverly of Oraustark." The story by
Robert M. Baker lends Itself gracefully
to the dramatization In the making of a
play pleasantly interesting and hera and
there thrilling without violent effects.
There is nothing to make an Interested and
sympathetic audience feel bad about the
unraveling of the plot.
Beverly Calhoun, represented by Ger
trude Fowler, moves with a vivacious
grace through her part In action more In
teresting - than convincing. To Hattle
Carmontelle in the role of Aunt ' Fanny,
Beverly's maid, one must accord the great
est appreciation of the play. Miss Car
montelle makes Aunt Fanny felt as a real
factor from the moment she enters the
action of the piece.
The production Is staged with not a lit
tle brilliance and beauty of effect, made
possible In large measure through the
quaint European setting of the play.
GRAFF SAYS BURNS WAS NOT
MORE IMMORAL THAN TIMES
Lacked Power to Oulde Own Foot
stepsBrotherhood He Proclaimed
Wide Enough to Include Him.
"Not with the Idea of honoring Robert
Burns or of adding to his fame, but sim
ply for our own edification let us con
sider Robert Burns this evening," said
Prof. A. U. Graff, principal of the Omaha
High school. In addressing the Men's club
at the Westminster church Thursday even
ing. "The character of Burns cannot be
come trite or exhausted, as he had a bril
liant mind In all things and would have
made a success In almost any line.
"Most writers in speaking of Burns apol
ogize too much for his apparent immoral
ity, but It seems certain, that he was not
much more Immoral than his times. Burns
was s genius, but this does not excuse
any faults any more than a high poetic
temperament gives a license. The power
to guide his own footsteps was not given
to him. The Judgment of the world Is
now far less unjust than It was in his
day.
"Burns furnished the yardstick of sym
pathy and charity by which to measure
his own shortcomings. The brotherhood
which the poet proclaims is wide enough
to Include himself. Bums' greatness lsy
In the pure inspiration of genius,
"His fame Is now far beyond the wildest
dream he could ever have had of himself
and his books are now more widely read
than ever before while his name Is more
honored than ever. He has won on his
merits.
"One of his chief characteristics Is his
keen poetic insight Into the significance
of common things. He has shown that It
Is not necessary for a poet to have some
remote, Intangible subject before he can
write. Nature and human nature are his
themes.
"Another characteristic Is his sympathy.
He loved everything the helpless bird and
the flower and even the little mouse. He
lived in sympathy and his soul rushes
forth Into the realm of sympathy. He ap
peared In the public character of an au
thor with fear and trembling. The man
waa more wonderful than his works. None
ever outshone Burns in the brilliancy of
conversation. He had great patriotism and
independence, pride and the true spirit of
religious adoration, all shown in his acts
and deeds. He knew how to direct others
better than to guide himself,"

Commons Plans
New Hold on Lords
It is Now Proposed to Vote Supplies
for Six Weeks Instead of from
Four to Six Months.
LONDON, March 11. The ministers
adopted a new device In the war between
the Lords and Commons by asking Parlia
ment today to vote supplies for six weeks
only. Instead of for from four to six
months, as has been the practice for the
last fifteen years. The fact Is not con
cealed that this device Is intended to keep
the power of the purse In the hands of the
House of Commons, in readiness for a fresh
constitutional crisis, which is expected In
May, when the Lords probably will reject
the resolutions curtailing their 'power of
veto, so as to bring about the resignation
of the government.
If supplies were voted for six months,
Mr. Balfour could then take office and
carry on the government, but with the
necessity of coming to the House of Com
mons for a new vote on supplies he would
be defeated.
The conservatives In the House of Com
mons today Indignantly denounced the gov
ernment's action as "a shabby trick In its
policy of evasion and chioanery."
Chancellor Lloyd-George frankly admits
that it is his intention thus to keep effec
tive control over the executive, from which
ever side of the house that executive is
drawn and it is understood that the labor
ltes and the nationalists will support
the government.
