THREE TO DANCE MUSEUM
VIRRENCE WOMEN
BIRDS TO DYCHE MUSEU
The first entire private collection of birds that has ever been donated to the Dyce Museum, was given by Mrs. Smith on behalf of her street, and is now being arranged in a special case on the second floor of the museum. The collection consists of more than eighty national which was mounted by Mrs. Smith herself.
Listen, while this little lady whose sparkling brown eyes make you wish she were your own grandmother, tells you the story of how she collected her
"It was long ago, in the early 'seventies' that we came to Kansas from Connecticut. There was my husband and a son and a daughter, then, but six months later both my son and daughter died.
“To keep my mind occupied I began at the suggestion of my husband to make a collection of the birds of Kansas. We used to be fond of driving out every trip my husband shot a different kind of species for me to mount.”
Mrs. Smith said, "I had no instruction whatever in the art of taxidermy. I once watched a young woman student of the University of Kansas prepare a bird for mounting. At that time a student was required to mount six birds before he could get his degree.
“Within the first six years after I came to Kansas I mounted more than eighty birds, but after the death of my husband I had no one to get them for me, and it was only occasionally that I could add to my collection.”
An interesting part of the collection is a brood of baby quail, none of which were more than five days old when mounted. They are to be arranged on the low table for observation in the natural environment as can be simulated.
"Those little quails," said Mrs. Smith "Were hatched from eggs which had been incubated in a box of cotton placed on the back of the stove, by a friend of mine who had known that I had long desired some baby quilts for my collection. As my friend had never seen nor heard of an incubator the idea was a original one on her part. My mother quail had been frightened from the nest when she grass round about it wore clothes and my friend took the eggs after they had been deserted and exposed to the weather for three days, and succeeded in saving the young quilts."
Although another museum asked for the collection, the interest Mrs. Smith feels for Lawrence, and especially for the University of Chicago, which are very dear to her because of the memories they recall, in Dyche museum.
The repair department of the Kansas State Agricultural College has just finished making the music rooms of the school sound proof by the use of "mineral wool." Mineral wool comes from a byproduct of iron, glass and stone and at times is molten as it is melted material is subjected to the action of a jet of steam, which has the effect of breaking it up into snow-like flakes.

State Water Analyst Puts Winning Entries in Shows
DOGS ARE YOUNG'S "GOLF"
C. C. Young, director of the state water survey department in Snow hall, is a great lover of dogs. At his home on 19th street, he has at the present time, a keen interest in dogs and is always a strong保佑 of his dogs are farmed out. He shows his dogs at the various dog shows over the country and ships to nearly every part of the U. S. The last issue of the "House and Garden" magazine features a story about two investigators and investigator," as an example of the right type of a bull terrier.
Among his collection of Aireadas and English Bull Terriers are dogs that are blood relatives of "Abby" and "Avery," and the "Artesian invasion," one of the best known of English bull terriers. Mr. Young has just received a letter from a buyer at Amesbury, Mass. He has recent purchase from Lawrence.
Mr. Young is always ready to talk dogs and he calls it his golf. The dog that goes with him everywhere Eminem explains "Pinky" at the present he has no dogs for sale but he expects to have a new supply in May.
In the annual "homegoing" at the Iowa State College this semester, the sophomores greatly exceeded the freshmen. The cause for this seems to be that the sophomores spent too much time in hazing and "tom foolery." However, those in authority stated that, taken all together, no more students were sent home this year than usual.
The letter says in part, "The dogs you sent me are certainly little corkers. I was at the show at the Madison Square Garden in New York last week and the fourteen left on the bench were a sorry looking lot compared to "Vixen" and "Lord Roberts."
Some seniors in the School of Engineering at the University of Missouri who allowed their whiskers to move freely when they didn't change during the recent quiz week, received a rude awakening when a number of juniors of the same school overpowered several of their number, and, with no considerable tenderness, removed the student's hand so that what comeback the seniors are contemplating is not recorded.

"Must Emphasize Designing Side of Architecture" Says Professor Goldsmith
PLANS A NEW COURSE REBER HITS HIS STRIDE
Raymond Robins does not confine his college campaigns to colleges of the United States, for according to the "Varsity," the undergraduate newspaper of Toronto University, he has been making his appearance universely with the same effectiveness which exhibited before last year.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
To meet a demand for a course in Architectural Designing Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, head of Architectural Engineering, is planning a course which shall lay less emphasis on the design work, and more on the designing side.
“In my experience in the department here,” said Professor Goldsmith. “I find that a number of the stuents in our department are architectural engineering have a greater talent for the designing end of the work than the structural, and where this talent is found it should be given more attention to give way to the work in construction.
"I would not intend to deprecate the value of the structural end of the work, for after all that is the body and essential base of all architecture, but it is only the rare structural architec t that has the designing side of architecture. The building itself and it takes both kinds of architecture to build a good building.
"The course offered at Kansas lays special stress on the engineering side of architecture, and the student who has special talent in designing spends the greater part of his time figuring steel girders and columns instead of the artistic side of the work. The course as it stands is fine for the en-
gineer, but it really needs a civil and
chanical, but there should also be a
course in the curriculum which includes more architecture and less engineering.
"The two kinds of architecture are closely interwoven, and it would be folly to try and separate them. The proposals I have in mind would leave the present course as it stands with 30 per cent to the work in constructing a new course for its design for the engineers, but with the addition of a new course with the addition of a new course with the proposed ratio of 25 per cent of designing, 14 per cent of structural drawing, the regular amount of mathematics through study of history in general as well as the history of architecture."
A number of students from the college have made application for some such course, and while it cannot be definitely announced as to whether such a course will be offered next year, it is hoped that it may be in favor of such a course, and Chancellor Strong has expressed his approval of the proposed work.
Professor Goldsmith is developing a plan to make the present department of architectural engineering one of theof the biggest and most important departments in his hope before many years have passed to have a course that will be as complete as the courses offered by the large eastern schools. He has made a study of the courses offered in these schools, and he has a clear cut theory of how the structures should be to turn out architectural engineers of the first caliber.
As matters stand at present it is very probable that there will be a wave of new architecture next year along with our present course in architectural engineering.
MRS. BROWN WANTS LUNCH
ROOM FOR STUDENTS
A lunch room will be provided in the near future for the women students who take their lunch on the hill, according to a statement from the office of Mrs. Brown, Adviser of Women.
Over thirty students now bring their lunches on the hill with them and have no suitable place to eat it. It is being arranged to paint and fix up one of the rooms now used by the department of home economics and make it a workspace and clean place for the "all day" students to eat "their lunch."
Among the exchanges which come to the office of the Kansan one of the most interesting is the "McGill Daily" published by McGill University. It is a fairly standard per claims the distinction of being the only college daily in Canada, but this is not the only distinction which it might claim, for besides being the only college day in Canada, it runs a large number of college data found in the United States.

Reber's mark was made in practice last night and although it is below his best efforts of 43 feet 4 inches, it is the best that the Jayhawker leader has been able to do so far this season. He's just about to hit it with the Tiger chances of even getting a place in the shot put look mighty poor.
FARCE TRYOUTS SOON
Five Actors and Chorus of Twenty Will Be Selected for Soph Hop
Tryouts for the five places in the cast of the Soph Hop farce will probably be held the last of next week, according to a statement made this morning by Dix Edwards, chairman of the farce committee. The farce to be performed must have the farce and the two leads must be taken by students who can sing as well as act.
"Oh! Oh! Oh!," a musical comedy, is the title of the farce. The show will be given at midnight, on the main dancing floor of the gym. There will be no stage, the actors coming on the stage in front of you, and lines without the aid of scenic setting or properties. The music of the show will be its strongest feature.
Places in the cast include the solo leads, for both a man and a woman; a "character" old maid; a blackface comedian; and a soubrette. One part is as strong as another, and every other part contributes to sorts of opportunities to display his ability in singing, dancing, and acting.
The chorus of twenty girls will be chosen from the members of the interpretive dancing classes, and will be trained in their dances by Miss Gladys Elliott. Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes will have charge of the speaking parts, and will direct the dramatic end of the entertainment.
A student orchestra of six pieces will be selected by the Hop Manage- rent to furnish music for the farce. A ballet will be performed from Minneapolis, will be the bianist.
Special costumes are being designed for each song number, and the chorus will look as though it had just stepped from the pages of "Vogue."
Tryouts will be held under the direction of the force committee.
