Application is made for the highest office desired by the MAETERLINCK GHEERED BY GOTHAM AUDIENCE Presentation of "Blue Bird for Happiness" Nets at Least $30,000 for Charity Brilliancy Marks Attendance of Society. BY EMILIE FRANCES BAUER. NEW YORK, Jan. 17. (Special.) "The Blue Bird for Happi ness" has returned when It was most needed, and with its revival enhanced by the beautiful music of Albert Wolff, it brought to those shores the great and dearly beloved poet, Maurice Maeterlinck. America is doing itself proud to honor the great Belgian poet who has long been a household word in this coun try. Perhaps no literary light that ever visited us has been the recipient of swifter recognition. Maeterlinck deserves this recogni tion because he has been for many years a soul-opener, a symbolist whose methods were as exquisite as they were direct. It was glorious to see him in the flesh, for we have long idealized him In thought, and it was a delight to realize that through an American public he should have experienced as much joy as he seemed to feel on Saturday night when, with his musical collabo rator. Albert Wolff, and a long list of -eager, willing and capable assistants, and above all Gatti-Casazza. respon sible for the opportunity to give "L'Olseau Bleu" such a mounting, he participated in supplying at least $30,000 to charity. "The Blue Bird" had its first per formance 6n a night outside the regu lar subscription series, so that there might be an advance of prices and the proceeds donated to four chari ties the funds for the queen of the Belgians, the Millerand fund for French orphaned children, three Bis Sisters organizations. Catholic rro testant and Jewish, and milk for chit dreu of America. Before the opening strains of the opera itself the audience arose to do honor to -the performance of the na tions,! airs of, America. France and student and the positions are given to the students whose applications are the best. This is not only instruc tive, but interesting. Some interesting Chilean literature, printed in Spanish, has been received by the school library for the special benefit of all Spanish students.

The February ("20) class will' hold its ' commencement' exercises on Fri day evening at 8:15 in the Shattuck school auditorium.

' ' . Basketball Squad Gets Busy at Benson. Five Is In Trim for Interscholastic Merle. Big Influx of Students Next Term Expected. BY FRANK KING. BENSON'S basketball team will make its first appearance next week against Hill. From then on there is an interscholastic game each week until the season ends, in March It looks as if Scott, Bennis or Fer guson, forwards; Hill or Lennox, cen ter; Giesy Colt or Maloney, guards, will be the boys that start the game against Hill. A prelimi narv ith m p was held recently against Christian Brothers business college In which Benscn took first honors. The gam a was hotly contested, with the boys fighting hard on both sides. Very little fouling was done, making it a clean game. The game ended with Benson on the long end of a 35-to-17 score. - a a preparations are already being j ....... - mo iiumoer or incom ing students expected to enroll Jan uary 26. the first day of the next semester. All freshmen are required to take mechanical drawing- their first terms. Because of this more space has been given to this depart ment. The addition of two rooms to this department will make it very complete. At the beginning of next semester several new teachrs will be added to the faculty at Benson. The preparatory will be discontinued at the end of this term, because the sub jects required by this course are too difficult for the boys that have not completed their elementary course In the grammar schools. The number taking this course is diminishing rap idly and if the remaining boys do not make satisfactory grades they will be requested to complete their course at some elementary school. Mr. Cleveland urges all students to make a special effort to attend school during the few remaining days, as the examinations will begin Monday and continue throughout the week. regardless of the examinations, classes will be held before and after the examinations. There will be no school Friday. Several graduating classes of the various 'grammar schools visited the school during the past week. Aftel one of these classes had finished its trip through the school a vote w&s taken so as to find out how many were interested in this line of study. The class was found 100 per cent in favor of attending Benson in the fall term. One of the girls even signi fied her wish to take up gas engine work. The Parent-Teacher associa tion of the Creston grammar school invited Mr. Cleveland to their meeting held last Tuesday to give them a talk on the .value of taking a course at Benson. Among the visitors were a number of girls who are seniors of the girls' school. They left a num ber of tickets to their class play at the office that will be on sale there next week. Upon leaving they seemed envious of the new building and mod ern equipment. The government has notified the technical schools all over the United States of an opportunity to secure machine tools at a 15 per cent dis count. Benson is doing all in her power to find out all particulars about th-is offer. They are expect ing to invest in a great number of tools of various kinds. In view of the fact that Benson polytechnic was turned over to the government to do its part in helping train our troops for service in engineering, it will be given one of the first opportunitiel to get these tools. Belgium, and already it was appar ent that brilliancy was the keynote of the occasion. The climax was reached when at the .close of the third act the great poet appeared before the curtain with Albert Wolff, the conductor-composer, when. amid cheers and continued applause, laurel wreaths were presented to them. Boris Annisfeld, the Russian painter, responsible for the Bcenery, joined the poet and the musician later, and the artists had their Individual demon strations following each act. An unusually long cast Is em ployed in the performance of this fairy story, which Is well and widely known, its first performance at the New theater in 1910 having brought it before thousands of persons, in cluding children of all ages and sizes. At the outset it may be said that the direction of the Metropolitan owes it to ine American people to put the ex quisite work into English as quickly as possible, because there is that in any Maeterlinck text which Is good for people to hear and understand. This would not necessarily be diffi cult because it runs along in a sort of declamatory manner, enhanced to Its greatest possibility by the beauty of the raelodlc line which never never strays into tansled paths. Indeed, M. Wolff has treated the score with extraordinary foresight and without yielding to the tempta tion of seeking ultra-modern effects, but he has created a superbly modern orchestral background for many spots where such treatment did not detract from the simplicity of the Maeterlinck thought. This he did with a master hand, a splendid tech nic of instrumentation, a fine feeling for orchestral possibilities and a rare consideration of the singing voice. In the entre-acts music he em ployed the utmost simplicity of style, a simplicity so determined as to seem enforced at times, and some times for too long a stretch for music LEADERS OF THE iiiiiiii'iiil iwiMffX-jiiiinin1 -din iiiiiiiiiiiiTril- L Ml , -. . & vzxt tM'-rl- i '.

Hack row a Id mar Seton, Washington Senior Girls Entertain Mothers. . Women of Faculty Are Also Guests at Special Tea Commencement Programme Numbers Announced. BY ANNA L. ' McPHERSON. THE eighth term girlsentertained their mothers and the women members of the faculty at a tea on Tuesday. A programme consisting of the following numbers was given in the gymnasium: Speech of welcome by Eline Anderson, eighth term rep resentative; piano solo by Marjorie Pearson; talk by Mrs. Levinson, dean of girls; presentation of flowers to Mrs. Levinson by Eline Anderson; class song, Harriet Ogden and Honor Youngson; reading, ' Harriet Osden; presentation of flowers to Miss Grant, eighth term adviser and nonorary member; piano solo, Edith Anderson. After the programme the guests were invited to the community house, where refreshments were served. The rooms were artistically decorated in the class colors American beauty and cream, and pussy willows. Anne Rob erts and Eline Anderson poured. As sisting about the rooms were Thelma Peterson, Annette Byford and Marga ret Masters. Cecil McKercher' was in charge of the programme and Marga ret Masters was chairman or the re freshment committee. At the Wednesday assembly the following members of the girls' cho rus sang for the school: Dorothy Star, Elise Henkle, Esther Hutchins, Helen Hawkins, Keitha Luce and Mil licent Crouch. These girls had been chosen to sing at the Ad club lunch eon on Wednesday. Announcements were made to the effect that an es pecially good collection of photo graphs was on exhibit at the Art mu. seum and that" Mr. Ingram's classes would not meet until the fifth period. Bert Haynes then announced the fact that the Chamber of Commerce would hold a sale of W. H. S. pins on Thurs day. They will sell for a dime and the proceeds will go to the charity bureau and the civics bureau. At a recent meeting of the June '20 class peacock blue and silver were chosen as the class colors. The com mittee for the class play was ap pointed and consists of Jimmie Meek, chairman; Minor Nealand and Agnes Cover. As has been the custom for several years, the remaining seventh term seniors will decorate the stage for commencement. Their plans have not all been announced, but a compe tent committee has been appointed. This committee is: Minor Nealand, chairman; Virginia -Pearson, Florence of so obvious a' nature. Thematic beauty, however, was never lacking, nor did he ever seem to fall in his musical translation of the text and of the Inner feeling. There were many moments of high spiritual flights, of superlatively beautiful mu sic and of effective climaxes. Both in music and of course in word and spirit, the close of the act set in the "Pays de Souvenir" seemed, to make applause a desecration. The symbolism in "The Blue Bird" is more obvious than in "Pelleas et Melisande." It Is the sort, in fact. which lends itself to what each per son is able to find therein, and it is therefore the more caressing, the more penetrating and above all the more winsome in its sheer poetic beauty. JUGO-SLAVIA IS IN NEED Red Cross Investigator Says Peo ple. Uncomplainingly Carry On. BELGRADE. Miss Malvine Hoff man, a New York ' sculptor, who is vice-chairman of the American Jugo slav relief committee, has just com pleted an inspection trip through Jugo-Slavia. She reports to Red Cross headquarters here that the new na tion stands in need of much to carry it through its reorganization period. War has left the people with virtually nothing. "Life has become primitive In Jugo slavia," says Miss Hoffman. "There are no modern methods of communi cation left. Telephone, telegraph, train and motor are crippled agen cies. There is a shortage of gasoline. Water supply systems are in poor re pair. There are no raw materials for the making of clothes, and the price of everything is prohibitive. Yet the people struggle on without a word of complaint, no bitterness or feeling of resentment, only dogged determi nation to climb over this terrible pe riod and make a united country out of all this pain and sacrifice.

Sparkling; Cli-Iy Stunts Ulves Before Knllr School Aanrmbl- Honors HlKh-RanklnK I'uplls. BY GEORGIA JACOBS. EACH day is bringing nearer the end of the semester, and the term's activities are winding up with a flourish, preparatory to the open ing of the spring term on January 26. MeinKers of the January class are ot--cupied with plans for commencement. The class comprises approximately 75 of the most enthusiastic and enerneti students of Lincoln, and it is not without, great r-gret that Lincoln bids farewell to them. The class career- has been one of the inors-t bril liant in the history of the school. Of ti'e 75 graduates in the class, over one-third are planning on going on to college. Of these, the straight academic college course seems to have been chosen by seven boys and 14 girls, and of the remaining stu dents, two will take the engineering course, two the medical course, two journalism, one law, one art, and one a special course in education. In the place of the hoped-for class day out of Bchool. the plans for which had to be given up, some very clever class day exercises were given before the school on Wednesday morning. The programme consisted of a class prophecy, some impersonations of members of the faculty, recitations and class songs. The prophecy, called "Th- River Styx." was both clever and original and showed the different members of the class coining before St. Peter, impersonated by Lawrence Jones, class president, and applying for admission into heaven. Their va rious faults in the occupations which they are supoosed to take up. accord ing to the prophecy, were outlined by St. Peter and his reasons were given for admitting them to heaven or turn ing them away, as the case might be. The impersonations of the faculty' members were excellent and no one failed to recognlxe any 6f them. A clever pianologue was given by Eliz abeth Plnney. Last, but not least, was the catchy, snappy class song, both the music and words of which were composed by a member of the January class, and which was sung by the entire class. From Mart to finish the class day exercises were a huge success and created more laughs than any other one entertainment of ' the year. a a a The last regular Tuesday assembly of the term was devoted almost en tirely to the honoring of the students who have "F3" report cards and aver ages of "E" In all their subjects. Those having all "E's" were seated on the platform and received a letter for their scholarship hnors. The ones who received an average of "E" for their term's work were to have been seated there, too, but on account of the unusually large number this plan had to be given up, but their names were honored in the assembly nevertheless. Addresses were made by Mr. Thorne and Superintendent Grout, and Mr. Davis presented the letters to the honor students. a a a The Aeollana were the entertainers at an assembly on Thusrday morning. The programme was as follows: Salut d'Armour (Elsar). bv Mlgnon Hawkes: "Dear Old Pal o' Mine" (Rice), by Tlmothy Fung; MCLXX (1620). (Mac Dowell), by Charlotte Kramer: Noc turne (Chopin), by Alfred Killer; 'Goodby" (Tosti). by Lester Davis: Prelude (Chopin), by Roy Goodman. It was a very enjoable assembly and showed how much musical talent the school can really boast. The first real basketball game of the Lincoln team this season ..was played Wednesday against a team composed of Lincoln alumni. The Lin coln ter.m beat the alumni by a score of 42 to 21. Lincoln's first regular interscholastic game will be played on Wednesday with Commerce high. a a A new art class in batik wash is being organised for the coming term.

This de stroys It entirely. To do this. Just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; apply It at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning most. If not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will complete ly dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of It. no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find. too. that all Itching and digging of the scalp will etop in stantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This sim ple remedy has never been known to fall. Adv. fwV,r A'WaoleMRe.
