Put Japanese Stencils With Thayer Exhibition
Lenert Mallott of Kansas City, Kan. visited Sunday at the Phi Chi house.
The exhibit of Japanese stenis from the Thayer collection is now hung on the third floor of the Middle Administration Building, in the section of the hall where the desk of the work in design of the Syracuse students has been used this time. The management has not been completed but Mrs. Thray hopes to have this part of the exhibit ready for the public within a few days.
These Japanese stencils are made on mulberry paper, which has been treated with persimmon juice until it has assumed an appearance similar to leather. Two sheets of this paper have been put together with a piece of human hair from the sheets, the stenciling has then been done with a small knife. These stencils are very old and impossible to duplicate as the Japanese stenciling is no longer done by hand, but by machinery. Many of these stencils were collected by Mold World Thayer during a trip to Old World Thayer in the head head of the department of design pronounces to he the best collection of the kind she has ever seen.

Rare Bug Collection Open to the Public
Not until a year ago, when William E. Hoffman became Assistant Curator of the Entomological Collection in Dyche Museum, was the Francis Huntington Collection, unique as the finest and most complete of its kind held by any educational institution in the world, open to the public
The collection consists of over 300,000 specimens, including between 27,000 and 28,000 species of which over a thousand are type specimens. The museum also has many ago and has been added to from time to time by numerous biological survey expeditions, by exchanges, and to a lesser extent, by gifts. As all "types" are retrained in the Museum, specimen country over come, we study them.
Specimens in the collection vary in value from worthless, when common to very valuable, when rare.
"A collection of insects," said Mr Hoffman, "that in itself is not worth much, is valuable when complete and properly labeled, just as a set of books is worth more when the set is complete."
Since the collection has been opened to the public a monthly average of from two to three hundred visitors each month, there is an opportunity to see these specimens.
Many of the visitors were plainly uninterested at first; "bugs" were nothing in their lives, but after seeing a collection of curious beetles with antenna three times the length of their bodies, or a case of jeweled butterflies from the trees they were visiting, there was a vivid story of one that Mr. Hoffman can tell about the habits and instincts of the insects under his care.
Avoiding all technical terms, Mr. Hoffman presents the collection from the standpoint of greatest interest to his listener. A farmer, naturally more concerned about economic pests than about any other form of life, he is a specialist in using a way as to help him combat them more intelligently.
In discrediting the dread tradition current about the moth with skull and cross bones on its back, Mr. Hoffman remarked that in the matter of science truth is stranger and far more naitive than in common sense, an ex- example of this fact he mentioned protective coloring and protective mimicry among insects.
Who among the common crowd of visitors would have dreamed that the striking resemblance to an owl head on the under side of a bird was placed there to frighten birds that relish butterflies as food?
Many of the specimens in the Snow collection have been reared by their collectors. This is especially true of sertain rare butterflies whose delicate wings would not survive handling.
At a meeting in the Architectural Society in Marvin Hall at 730 o'clock Tuesday evening, Captain Grenata, who has charge of the Engineer's section of the R. O. T. C. here, discussed the work of the forestry troops of the A. E. F. After the lecture two reels illustrating this work were shown. A business meeting of the society followed the pictures.
In his talk, Captain Grenata first showed what a problem the United States had to solve in furnishing docks for the landing and storing of supplies. According to Captain Grenata, the French were unable to furnish anything in the line of lumber or railroad ties.
"In France," he said, "there are no large forests such as there are in this country. The timber is all in wooded lots and the machinery used by the Americans in cutting this lumber was of a portable type. The mills were run day and night, and often produced three times the amount of lumber and ties that they were originally made to saw in one day.
"I would like the people of the United States to understand," he continued, "that those fellows who cut lumber in France were just as true soldiers as those who fought in the trenches. In many cases the men in the forestry service worked on their own branch, but stuck to their posts because they realized that they knew how to do the work better than others."
Both in the pictures and in the lecture the modern methods of America were contrasted with the antiquated ways of the French lumbermen. "But there is one thing," said Captain Grenata, "in which France is far in advance of American. France guards her timberlands. Every time a tree is cut down one is planted in it. The lumber assemblement of the United States are beginning to realize the need for some action to prevent the annihilation of the great American forests, but as yet not much has been done."

From Sunday School To Station—Almos
From Sunday School teacher to motor car theft all in one morning. Sounds incredible, but such is the record of F. Ellis Johnson, professor of electrical engineering; or at least two worthy members of the city police force did the same to make him a victim under the "transformation Sunday."
tranforming.
According to the story, Professor John came out of the Methodist church Sunday morning after credibly conducting a Sunday School class of University men and women, as is his custom. He sought his waiting Dodge car. Causally he noted a police man standing near.
Professor Johnson opened the car door preparatory to climbing in, but was stopped by the heavy hand of his law on his arm.
"You are arrested," said the stern-faced officer. "This car is stolen." Naturally Professor Johnson denured. He had been under the impression the car was stolen, but the enforcer of the law was obstinate. He insisted the car had been at the curbing all night and must be one the police were seeking. He was so joined by one of his brothers of the police fraternity and rather they made a formidable pair.
