PLEASES AUDIENCE Piano and Song Numbers Given By School of Music at Methodist Church By John B. Siefert George Paynter Hopkins, of the school of music, played an interesting and highly pleasing piano recital Wed nesday evening in the Methodist church auditorium and he was most ably as sisted by Edyth Ernst Hopkins, so prano. The program opened with Beethov en’s Sonata, opus 31, number 3, and Mr. Hopkins played the entire sonata with but brief pauses between the four movements, thus preserving the contin uity of the composition. A crisp tone, coupled with fine technique, marked his splendid reading of the work, and very generous applause rewarded his ef forts. Mrs. Hopkins followed this opening number by singing two delightful songs, “Bonjour Suzon,” Eelibas and “L’Es clave,” Lalo. Tschaikowsky’s highly dramatic aria, “Adiou Forets” from Jeanne d’Arc completed the group. The delightful tripping melody of the first song, and the note of abandonment in the second were carefully brought out by the singer, while she rose to a fine climax in the aria. Her voice was equal to all the demands of the numbers she chose to sing. For her second ap pearance four songs in English were given; Roger’s lovely “At Parting,” Iiuerter’s highly modern “Never the Nightingale” and two numbers by our own John Stark Evans, “Just Been Wond’ring,” which had its first hear ing, and which pleased immediately, and his very popular “A Spring Love Song” sung at various times recently. To this group was added “Ilayfields and Buttorflies” by Eel Riego. Mr. Hopkins introduced to us Schu bert’s “Moment Musical,” in a new gown designed by Ornstein. It was an interesting creation. Three DebuB sy numbers, “The Snow is Dancing,” played in a fascinating manner, “The Little Shepherd,” with its mystic, fai ry-like calls, “Golliwog’s Cake Walk,” with its almost “raggy” swing, and Moszkowski’s “Grand Yalse do Con cert,” played in a brilliant fashion brought unstinted applauso from the appreciative audience. David Guion’s rrrangement of “Turkey in the Straw,” was added as an encoro. The program closed with Jenson’s “The Dryad,” Schumann’s almost sad, but lovely “Romance in F major,” and an exceedingly well played “Etuuo de Concert” by Sehlozer. Mendelssohn’s “Hunting Song,” was given an as on core and rounded out. splendidly a de lightful recital. PRUETT PLANS TO GIVE METEOROLOGY COURSE Prof. Warren D. Smith May Follow Witli Climatology Instruction; Both Have Had Experience With Subjects A three-hour accommodation course in meteorology will be given next term by J. llugli Pruett, professor of phys ics, possibly followed in the spring by a course in climatology given by Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the geology department. After this year the course will bo a permanent one. The material included in the winter term’s work will be the general condi tions of the atmosphere, the use of weather-bureau instruments, the study of storms and their prediction. The electricity of the air, with u study of lightning and the northern lights will also be taken up, as well as optical ef fects including sky colors, rainbows, CLASSIFIED ADS Minimum charge. 1 time, Cfte; it tune*. 46c; 6 times, $1.

The text will be Milham’s “Meteorology.” The hours the subject will be scheduled will be known at the beginning of the winter term. The pre requisite is one year of high school physics or its equivalent in college. Considerable experience gives Mr. Pruett a background for the study. At one time he was with the Seattle wea ther bureau office. During the greater part of the war he was in charge of the Paris station of the meteorological sec tion of the signal corps which did the ''usual work of the United States’ wea ther bureau, and air work besides. Hy drogen balloons were used for learning the direction of the wind at higher levels for the aviation and artillery, and general weather predictions were made for the army. Mr. Smith has traveled extensively and studied climatic conditions. He is especially familiar with the Phil ippine Islands and is an authority on typhoons. UNIVERSITY DEPOT IS USEFUL DEPARTMENT Materials Carried in Campus Supply Station Satisfy Wide Range of Demands Pram small nails and screws to var nish and rope in the hardware line, from soap and lye to mops and buckets for the janitors and from 10 to 500 watt lamps in electrical supplies, represent in part the variety of materials carried in the University supply depot at the rear of the U. of O. post office. Sup plies are kept on hand not only for the janitors but also for plumbers, electri cians,'carpenters and workmen at odd jobs of many kinds. Much time is saved by carrying a large variety of supplies especially such articles as are used often or like ly to break easily. In addition to the regular amount of supplies carried, there is quite a unique collection of what Mr. H. M. Fisher, superintendent of grounds, calls “junk.” In this ag gregation may bo found old material, things awaiting disposal and articles that may have been taken from the department of the school to be used elsewhere. GOOD BOOK LIST POSTED One Hundred Worth While Volumes in Library Bulletin A long black printed list of “100 Worth While Books,” which every Am erican between the ages of 20 and 45 ought to read, selected by a eommittee of 06 educated men and women, all of whose names are found in “Who’s Who” in America, arranged in order of their popularity with the committee, is posted on the bulletin board beside 'the general desk in the main reading room of the library. “These books,” says the legend, “sat isfy like things to eat.” “KENTUCKY DERBY” AT IIEILIG Twenty years ago Kingley Benedict, then a boy of fiftcon, started out on the stago in the rolo of Joe, a stable boy, in Charles T. Dazoy’s melodrama, “The Suburban,” and played beforo audiences of twelve different countries in nine and a half years. A fow mouths ago Uni versal engaged him to play the same role on its final record performance for the screen, in the adaptation of the Dazoy play which Universal has titled “The Kentucky Derby,” and which is now showing at the Heilig theatre with Reg inald Dennv, Lillian Rich, Benedict, Lionel Belmore, Gertrude Astor and a dozen other popular players.

He bases his idea on the fact that American cocking, in his opinion, is superior to Indian. He thinks this is due to the fact that the American cook by cook-books and the Indians by tradition. They have “pud dings and candies” for Christmas just as we do, says Kanshi Ram; but they don’t taste the same, he adds. He is fur ther of the opinion that one of the rea sons that our food tastes differently is because the ingredients are more care fully proportioned. The difference in the usual holiday “goodies” is not the only difference between the Christmas that the Hindus celebrate and that which we celebrate. December 25 in India is a national holi day, set aside by the English, but the real festivities that correspond to our Yuletido occur in April. Eor seven days in the month of April the Hindu has sacred services and social entertainment in honor of his gods Rama and Krishna. Thie sacred books are read in the temples and in the streets while professional dancers and enter tainers make merry for the crowds. The nearest approach to a Christmas tree that the Hindus have would be the sacred “couches” which are placed in the streets and on which there are dis played pictures of Rama and Krishna, attired in gorgeous robes. They do not have these couches in the homes, but they have a “clean, scrubbed place, sup ■iHiniHiBiiiiaMiaiiiiiiiHiBiiiiHiiiiiBUiiiaiiiiii posed to be sanctified” on which they stand figures of the gods. Just as our Christinas brings back home relatives and friends and prodigal i sons, so in India the April festivities serve as family reunions. Gifts are ex changed, at this time, among friends and relatives. Although the customs are dif ferent, the spirit is the samg.
