These cabins scattered through the pines were like working quarters for many of our creative artists in music, art and literature.
"For an hour and a half, the audience listened with apparent delight to Mrs. MacDowell's rendition of her husband's best-known compositions," said Dean Donald Swarthorth this morning. "Many of these so familiar to love music were prefaced with explanations about the theme and the spirit which MacDowell intended to infuse in his compositions.
"Mrs. MacDowell's interpretations were of interest not because of her outstanding pianism, but because of the fact that she played a major role later and later his wife. As a result, MacDowell was exceedingly free and possibly exacting in the requirements which he made upon playing in the games written by

Own Your Home, Says G. A. Russell in Talk by Radio
People Should Have Lan Surveyed to Avoid Trouble After Building
"One of the many advantages and blessing of our nation in the privation of leadership of a nation," said Prof. G. A. Russell, professor of civil engineering, over WDAF broadcasting station Monday night.
Professor Russell went on to say that the man who owns his own home, no matter whether it be a ranch many miles in extent, a modest sized farm, or a small sized lot on which is located his house, has gained for himself self confidence and self-respect, and is almost sure to be a better citizen
Boundaries Are Important
"He may desire to build a fence enclosing his land. This brings up the question of the county location of his property line. Often a question will arise as to the location of secondary line, and often a case will follow and both parties may call for a survey to settle the dispute. A civil engineer is called and a survey made.
"Cases may at times arise, where only a resort to the courts will solve the problem," said Professor Russell, "but if existing conditions are recognized, the majority of cases will be satisfied of all concerned."

This would not be a great variation in the results of any two surveys, at the present time, according to Professor Russell, since in our present age practically all of our sciences are reduced to mathematical exactness. In the case of the states was largely let by contract at so much per mile of line, with no rigid supervision of the class of work.

generally supported that our towns had laid out much more accurately, as there is no reason why they could not be made as accurate as necessary for all practical purposes. But we find much work done by either inexperienced or often trained officers, so when roads had no thought of what might happen when prices were greatly advanced.
Let Lines May Be Wrong

German Club Elects Officers
Get Competent Surveyor
Professor Russell pointed out that with this mind-set, the department should engineer should be engaged. If this engineer knows his business, he will recognize and say freely that anything he may be able to do in the way of engineering may not solve the question. He will probably make his survey and then begin a systematic study of the particular circumstances, not only this one, but of the other, so that also bring his judicial functions in explaining to all concerned just what they may expect if the case is taken to the courts, and probably nine times out of ten he can be properly satisfied by mutual understanding of all parties, saving them a considerable outlay in money. "Probably the best plan when property is to be purchased is to have the lawyers made, at the expense and responsibility of the seller, and make the understanding he that the lines and limit established should be satisfactory to the owners. The purchaser is entitled to nothing less than this, as he should not be expected to inherit any neighborhood disputes, and the seller could do nothing than agree to it if he needed to make a sale, conclude.

Frenchman's Mechanical Toy Aroused Interest in Cinema of "Daddy of Movie Houses"
"The Daddy of the movie houses," as Clair Pattie is known to those, in the theatrical profession, has been a resident of Lawrence since 1950. He directed a picture theater here to which he gave his name. This theater was the second one in America; the first one opened in Jersey City in 1900.
"The reason I came to Lawrence was because my wife's mother, who lived here, became seriously ill and we wished to be with her. After several attempts to get a theater building I finally located the one I now use. I now want to see 'Nion's head over my favorite theater in St. Louis, Mo. I arranged for a circuit of houses in "his vicinity" in order to use my films more than once but I later sold them, including all one in Jersey City, and arranged all of my time in Lawrence." Puttes went on to explain the origin of his interest in moving pictures.

When my troop would leave Broadway after a summer, I would have limited opportunities for gagements and my bank account would dwindle during the winter months. Jerod, a Frenchman, came to me late in the morning to sell me a model toy which he would project pictures with action upon a curtain. He had other novels which he sold readily, and since his purpose in visiting America was to watch an auto race in which his brother contested, he wanted to return to his country.

News Cubs Become Tea Pups Wednesday
Dear to the hearts of all journalism students is the Sky Parlor. Why—because with it have become associated memories of steaming curry, tasty sandwiches and a few minutes well spent. One forgets about writing headlines, interviewing some hard-boiled guy who has the experience, pressure, importance, or of getting pounded of a typewriter to get a story in before press time.
For those journalism students who have not become acquainted with this spirit of the news room, a cordial welcome is extended to attend the Sky Parlor tea on Wednesday, March 5, from 3 to 5 p.m. by margaret Cochran and Mildred Cornelius, the hostesses.

"The relief-giving is often very necessary, and when it is needed it makes people generous. Making arrangements includes finding employment, housing, hospital or convalescent care, securing surgical appliances and assistants with employees, teachers, neighbors and others."
"The direct personal service means bringing the influence of the case worker to bear to change the attitudes of the person being helped. This is often the most important part of the whole task, and it is always the most difficult," Professor Queen concluded.
