HOMEWARD Kratt's Sister Reported Safe Convoy Will Escorl To New York Port To Ne wYork Port The crippled American freighter West Kebar, bearing the sister oi Dean Theodore Kratts of the mu sic school, Mrs. Paul Gebauer and her husband, is reported by wire dispatch yesterday to be within 240 miles of New York.

Capt Benjamin Bogdan of the stricken vessel reported the ship leaking badly but able to proceed under her own power. A convoy of four coast guard boats have gone to her assistance, however, and will es cort her to New York. Mr. and Mrs. Gebauer were re turning from Kakaland, Camer oons, Africa, where they have beer stationed as representatives of the German Baptist misisonary boarc of North America since 1935. Mrs. Gebauer is a native of Port land and a graduate from the Lin coln high school and the Art In stitute of Chicago.

Jewell, dean of the ed ucation department, will speak t( the midwinter convention of Lan< county parent teacher associa * tions, at their annual conferenc< English Words Too Hard Flustikoff Nonplused By JEAN SFEAKOVV Behind the scenes at the Igloo last night, in a dizzying atmos phere of Russian double talk which soudnded like something cooked up in a samovar, Wassily Flustikoff smiled as he tried valiantly to twist his tongue around our Eng lish language. The courteous, dark-haired Mr. Flustikoff, business manager of the Cossacks, shook his head when asked how much vocal training the Cossacks had received. None, was his answer ... or as near as this typewriter can come without , deveolping a Russian accent. Started in 1920 At the close of the war in 1920 the Cossacks, accompanied by their priest, left the prison camp and went to Bulgaria where they sang every Sunday in the church. In 1923 they left Bulgaria and began to tour, their first appear ance being in Vienna. When asked how the Don Cos sacks manage to keep their fig ures, Mr. Flustikoff really chortl ed. “Do we?” he asked. “That is the first time anyone has ever honored us by asking us that ques i tion.” He went on, good-natured ly, to explain that those of the Cossacks who are inclined toward a waistlinne "do exercises in the morning.” Hmmm . . .reminds us of a sorority house. Summer Training Every summer for six weeks the i Cossacks go into intensive train ! ing. Eight hours a day they prac : tice—four in the morning and four : in the afternoon. It is then that they learn new songs and prepare for their tours. The dancers, whose gyrations de lighted everyone, Mr. Flustikoff shrugged at. “In Russiaeveryone U3ed to do it,” he said. “The boys and girls would get out in the streets after church on Sundays and dance and dance ... I don’t know what they do now ...” As to food favorites, Mr. Flus tikoff had none. He thought a moment, shook his head seriously, and then said slowly, “I am very easy to please . . . my wife, she is very happy.” Jasper, Mascot Of Sigma Chis, Buried in State Sigma Chi gave a one gun salute at 3:45 Monday afternoon to pay respects to their dead brown terrier mascot, Jasper. Injured by a hit and run driv er at 13th and Alder in the morning, the dog has been seen at many social functions, around t> e Side, in classes and at the libe, was taken to the frater nity house in great pain. Tfie fel lows held a consultation at lunch and decided that they should put him out of his misery.
