70 Attend Bacteriology Anniversary Dinner
Stevens Gives Main Address To Group
More than 70 guests attended the informal dinner celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the department of bacteriology at the University in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building yesterday evening.
W. C. Stevens, retired botany professor, and founder of the bacteriology department was guest of honor and the chief speaker of the evening. He told of the reasons for founding the department at the University and of incidents in its development up to 1917.
Other speakers were Dr. N. P. Sherwood, who told of the department's development since that time. Dr. Cora Downs went over the list of those graduated from the department who since have become known in the bacteriological groups of the United States. Dr. E. L. Treece read extracts from his "log book" which is a record of "bone-head" answers that he has found in the quiz papers of students in the department since he began teaching.
Dr. G. C. Bond gave the history of the Bacteriology Club since its organization in 1920 and also introduced the graduating seniors. At the last of the program the club presented a framed picture of Doctor Sherwood which will be placed in the department office.
Designers Meet War-Time Need
Famous Parisian designers are rising to war-time emergencies by including accessories that may be duplicated by Fench women in their homes. Schiaparelli, for one, stresses the fashion importance of turbans, bonnets, and stocking that are hand knitted of silk and cotton.

Flowered Aprons Add a New Touch To Spring Sheers
Fashion Dictates--downward from the neckline to end in heart-shaped brilliant clips.
Sheer white dresses with flower patterned aprons are brand new for summer dinner costumes. A long sleeved, full-skirted frock of mouseline de soie has an apron of floral applique in soft multicolors and a chunky flower necklace in colors to match. Another slim tailored dress of chalk white crepe
'Sharkskin for Evening, Jackets With Everything'
Evening dresses of sharkskin have the same simplicity that characterizes the sports dresses of this fabric. One dress has a bright green bolero trimmed with snowy white collars and cuffs. Another severeley plain shirtwaist style has as its only decorative detail three slits which extend $ ^{3} $
Rivaling the softness and quality of doeskin are the gloves made of mocha, a leather imported from Arabia. By means of a special process, mocha is tanned and dyed in America to give it a silky softness that is the height of luxury in leathers. For spring and summer, washable mocha gloves are shown in pale pastels as well as in white.
Straw braid overlapped to look like rough tree bark is used for a
new summer turban that ties about the head with a cloud of veiling. The hat is yellow and is trimmed with brown and yellow quills and a wide-meshed brown veil.
For day and for evening, short boxy jackets are one of the season's pets. And the favorite fabric is lightweight flannel, tailored on easy lines. Most of these jackets are square shouldered and straight lined, and are worn with everything in a summer wardrobe—from slacks and shorts to diaphanous evening dresses.
Psi Chi Elects Thomas President
Hamburgers supplemented textbook material as the main interest of 30 psychology students yesterday when they held their annual combination picnic in Holcomb's Grove.

has a rounded apron of printed silk in bold field flower colors and design.
Coral pink and cobalt blue are flatteringly combined in one dinner ensemble for spring. The dress is blue crepe, very slim and straight, with a fitted jacket of blue sequins. With this is worn a little saucer of coral felt filled with a fluff of ostrich feathers. A knot of coral feathers is clipped to the evening bag, and the gloves are of coral suede.
This summer you will wear big picture hats of black tulle with your most sophisticated daytime dresses. One, designed by Legroux Soeurs, has an entire crown made of layers of tulle folded into pleats that spread into a frill at the edge of the brim. Wound around the square crown is a sash of pale pink satin ribbon.
