It was necessary to postpone the regular assembly this week on ac count of the construction work going on in the new shop building. The work is being rushed to completion so that the machinery may be in stalled in time for the fall term. It is planned to move the electric and woodworking shops into the new building. The gas engine department will take over the present wood working shop and the machine shop will move a part of its equipment into the present electrical shop. The track men have not had much opportunity for practice this season because of the unfavorable weather and the limited gymnasium facilities. However, two men made exceptionally good showings at the Columbia inter scholastic track meet, April 10. Will lam Maloney took second place in the 50-yard dash, winning a silver medal and John Bennis made a wonderful showing in the 220-yard dash. The Benson Radio association is constructing an aerial and is install ing apparatus for use at the annual technical show to be held next month. Fred Stevens is in charge of the in stallation. The loyalty of the Benson student body was proven Wednesday when about 800 "Boost Benson Baseball" tags were sold. Heretofore the re ceipts from various entertainme nts projects have more han paid all ath letic expenses. At the meeting of the Zographe mans Wednesday members who were accepted last week were initiated. The faculty adviser. Dr. Wilder, spoke of the possibilities of the club. A committee was appointed to get some "action" pictures at the Benson-Commerce game Monday.

Among them were, Annabee Smyth as Iochinvar; Ralph ABOLISH ment so as to permit the bed being made up to present the same appear ance as an ordinary bed. Besides being a message of good cheer to those afflicted with insom nia, the news -of this most recent in vention of a woman is another refu tation of the challenge which has been made to the effect that woman In ventor is a comparative rarity. More and more woman is coming to rank with man as an inventive genius.

Thirty-four class pins have been ordered and will be worn by the seniors in the near future. The pins are of the same pattern as those of the last graduating class," a standard pattern for the school having been adopted at that time. m Fancy bracelets, initial rings and the setting of stones in pins and lavallieres are some of the articles that are interesting the first and second term art metal classes. A delightful party, given by the girls of the January '21 class. Was held in the school gymnasium Fri day, April 9. The boys of the Ben son Heeneekis club were present to enjoy the evening, which was spent in dancing and playing games. This was the first party of the term and the students greatly appreciated it. Puffs made by the third-term girls, and served with hot chocolate sauce, and punch were the refreshments. Several teachers attended the party, which was one of the most enjoyable ever held in the school. war naturally stimulated the Inven tive genius of the sex, but long be fore the war women inventors could not be denied.

Coming down to' modern' times. Marie Currie bears Jointly with her husband, Pierre Currie, the distinction of having discovered radium. Pierre the son of a Paris physician, following his early schooling devoted himself to chemical research. He was associ ated in his work with Marie Sklodo wska. a native of Warsaw, whom he married In 1895. when he became pro fessor in the School of Physics and Chemistry at Paris. Under trying pe cuniary conditions, the couple con tinued their scientific work, and in 1898 discovered a radio-active sub stance in pitchblende. They separated polonium and afterwards radium. After the death of Professor Currie In 1906 Mme. Currie was appointed to continue his work as professor. Although many women won recogni tion during the recent war, that period did not mark the first time that the inventive genius of woman was in spired as a result of strife.

THI: second annual Commerce vaudeville, which was given un der auspices of the June '20 class n Friday night In the auditorium of the Shattuck school, proved a success in every way. The pro gramme consisted of a mixed variety of' entertainments and a large part of the student body took part. Mr. O'Mealy's room was represented by a recitation by Mildred Jones, en titled "Calls." The pupils from room 20 presented a short play, symbolic of the advertising section of a magazine, in which the advantages of good ad vertising were brought out. Room 3 was represented by a short farce en titled "Sweet Memories." Room 4 presented Esther McDougall, who sang "A May Morning," accom panied by LeilKickle on the violin. Room 5 pupils presented "The Follies of 1920," -which were typical of present-day customs and styles. Room 8 was represented by a short play called "The Old Maid's Conven tion." Room 9 presented a fifteen minute farce -entitled "The Two Lu natics." Room 10 gave an Interesting sketch entitled, "And the Lamp Went Out." The pupils from room 11 gave a short play entitled "The Hat." .Room 14 presented a comical Shake spearean tragedy. Room 20 presented a sketch entitled "Which Do You Prefer?" showing the vast difference between the competent and the incompetent stenographer. The students from portable A pre sented Florence Colin in comic mono logues. Candy was sold between acts by the members of the January '21 classi The programme was pro nounced a huge success by all who saw it. The proceeds will be equally decided between the Juno '20 class and the school treasury. The regular weekly assembly was held on Thursday, April S. Because of the absence of the speaker who had been obtained by the June '20 class, Mr. Boycr led the students in singing old and popular songs. An Interesting assembly was held during the fourth period on Monday, when O. M. Plummer of the school board addressed the students' in an in- ribly mutilated in the fighting in France have a woman To, thank for the fact that they may again take up the normal thread of life without fear of being shunned by their more for tunate brethren. As result of the in ventive genius of Mrs. Anna Cole man Ladd, an American sculptress, many of these disfigured men arc to day happy. This woman brought her art to rival skill In surgery by cre ating noses, ears, and even complete faces for the unfortunate whose fea tures had been disfigured on the bat tle field. . ' When the war broKe. this woman. the wife of Dr. Baynard Ladd.-- who served as director of the American Red Cross hospital which cared for 20.000 children In France, had been for some time sculptress of note in classical work. As a means of doing her bit she sought practical. If not so pleasant, use for her talents. In a studio which she established in Paris she spent her time creating artificial features to replace those which unfortunate soldiers had lost In the fighting. Out of galvanised sul phate of copper she made masks mod eled from pre-war photographs of those for whom she was to build new faces. These masks were silvered over and cleverly tinted so as to give them a flesh-like color. When attached to the maimed face it was found that this substitute was scarcely notice able and not easily differentiated from the natural. Miss Mary Davies. who served as bacteriologist at Ris-Orangeis hos pital in France during the war, was responsible for bringing to a mini mum the cases of infection which resulted from wounds. She discovered that a great deal of the infection came from pieces of clothing which had been shot into the body. She devised a method of treating cloth with an anti-sepMc substance so that after months of subjection to all forms of germs the uniform of a soldier would remain sterile. - The first practical silkworm breeder and silk reeler was a woman, a Chi nese empress, and even today the Chinese in her honor celebrate the "Con-Con" feasL which takes place during the season in which the silk worms are hatched.

Mr. Plummer's talk was much appreciated by the students and he promised to return to the school some time in the future. Mr. Haroun led the student body in singing sev eral songs. Mr. Paulback. of the June '20 class, announced that two Com merce pennants will be awarded, one to the room producing the best act at the vaudeville and one to the students selling the most tickets. Doris Sum merlund of the June '20 class acted as chairman of the assembly. At a recent meeting of the January '31 class, some important matters re lative to the class were decided. The members have at last selected their class pins. These are being made now and it is expected that they will soon be finished. The colors chosen by the class are light blue and gold. The claas motto selected Is '"There is no wealth but life." Fred Gardner has been chosen to coach Commerce's baseball team this year, in place of Mr. Murphy.

ROMANCE OF CHICAGO TOLD BY ONE OF FOURTH GENERATION Early History Tells of City's Beginning- on Farm Known as scramble," Where Civic Center Is to Be. WE are, dear children of Chi cago, the fourth generation of as wrong-headed and stub born fighters of fate as ever set out to prove that the words of the proph ets and the signs of the zodiac don't mean anything. We have made a city of 2,884.827 population and. it is claimed, a fair number of prosperous businesses and, they say, adequate plumbing, in a place where nothing ought to be. Tou can verify these last words in the records which it the mission of this scries of articles to explore. "Hardscrabble' his contemporaries called a little farm uo the south branch which a man named Lee con structed in 1&12. "Hard." you know. Is modern English fot "tough" or "It can't be done." And "scrabble" is ancient Illinois for "going." The farm of "tough-going" was where they want to put the civic cen ter now out Twelfth to Twenty-second Btreet way and between the river and Ogden avenue.

Mitummer Mefct'n Dream" Is the KIsMh In Annual Series Fac ulty Membera tilve Soeial Tea. BY GEORGIA JACOBS. ONE of the best and most success ful of Lincoln's annual Shakes pearean plays was that presented on Friday afternoon and evening. This play was the eighth which has been given by Lincoln students of the school, and was one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies, "Mid-Summer Night's Dream." The play was excep tionally well portrayed by an excel lent cast. Dorothy Hall and Marion Bonney as Helena and Hermia had two of the leading parts, with Louis Hosrh as Lysander. and Georae Bronough as Demetrius, playing op posite them. The theme of the sfory was built around these four, whose acting did much to make the play such a great success. Thesus and Hippolyta were played by George Faust and Helen West, and Oberon and Titania by William Hart and Helen Parrish, and Puck was played by Jim Ames. Shirley Baron, as Quince, Philip Strowbridge as Flute. David Pattullo as Bottom. Charles Baum as Snug. Gibson Wright as Snout. Stuart Biles as Starveling. Lodner Ross as I'hilostrate. Raymond Fletcher as Egeus and some fairies completed the caste. The stage was arranged very at tractively and the costumes were charming and effective. The stage managing and costuming were done by a committee from the faculty. The proceeds from the play will go to the regular school fund, which is maintained for the purpose of beau tifying the school. By far the most exciting contest In the school for some time came to an end on Friday. For the entire week the talk of the school has been nothing but the Shakespearean play, and number of tickets each person had sold for his or her respective society. A clever arrangement which was a great incentive for hard work was a big placard placed near the main entrance. For each society there was a thermometer which in dicated each day's average rise in the selling of tickets. There was hardly a plan which was not resorted to by the various organizations in their rush for the coveted prize. The out come of this contest will be an nounced on Monday. The prize to be awarded is a picture in tht class cardinal, which would ordinarily cost the society " about $13. Miss Northtip and Miss James, two of Lincoln's faculty members, have been entertaining with a series of delightful teas: given for the wives of the Instructors and the women members of the faculty. The teas were given at the home of Miss Northup and were greatly enjoyed by those attending. The last of the series was given this week. Mrs. J. V. Ross, a member of the Daughters or the American Revolu tion, spoke to the Adelphlan society at its last meeting. Her talk was based upon the subject or patriotism, though she also touched upon the work of the organization which she was representing. Her talk was one or the most interesting or recent Adel phian programmes. Franklin Science Club In itiates 69 Members. Ceremonials Are Followed by DiiFlnx Mock Trial Features Jolly Party Held by Seaiora. BY GERALD1NE ROOT. ON Friday evening, April 9, the senior class gave a large get-together party at the home of Katherine DeWltt. The large number that at tended enjoyed a very lively time in games and dancing. In the course of the evening a mock trial was held, Lawrence Cook being the guilty party. President Earnest Gillard was the Judge, with eight members of the class as jury. This offered immense amusement for a great part of the evening. Then delicious refreshments were served by Ruth LeVan. Helen Glover. Helen Sivcr. Evelyn Hogue and Katherine DeWitt. assisted by William Grasshoron and Lawrence Cook. The annual initiation of new mem bers of the Science club was held Fri day evening in the gymnasium. The initiation committee, composed of Anna Ulen, Clyde Rice, and Ethel Johnston, put the new members, 64 Hard- to the Indians. When the banks of the Illinois shall have been covered w ith a dense population, it is not im possible that Chicago may become one or the points in the direct line or com munication between the northern lakes and the Mississippi; but even the Intercourse which will be carried on through this channel will, we think, at all times be a limited one; the dangers attending the navigation or the lakes and the .scarcity of har bors along the shore must ever prove a serious obstacle to the increase of the commercial importance of Chi cago." Indeed. Chicago's early history was one continuous rollicking. Joyous tale of bouts with danger. There was John Kinr.ie. for whom we have named Kinzle street, who. ignoring the "dangers of navigation." came to Fort Dearborn In 1S04 and, sending his sloops and canoes into any and all waters of Illinois that would float them, started the first wholesale trading house of Water street. His danger was Jean Lalime. a French interpreter. Lalime planned to put an end to the wholesale industry with a long, sharp knife, and nearly did. but Kinzie had the sixth sense and turned as Lalime sprang. It was Lalime who lay still "when the two men separated, and Kinzie lived to pay $37 for the block the county Jail now stands on. There was that little party of ninety-three men. women and children who marched out of Fort Dearborn on August 15. 1S12. to become, before they had reached what is now Jack son Park, the dead, wounded, spared and the held for torture of the Fort Dearborn massacre. If you want a hero for this first chapter of Chicago history, find him here in Captain William Wells, for whom we have named Wells Btreet. He might have returned to Fort Wayne and good fresh beef and safe ty, when his advice to evacuate the In number, through a very lively ini tiation and many stunts. The evening was complete with dancing and re freshments, and every one pronounced the evening a success. The club is planning a trip to Castle Rock in the near future, this being in the line of the club work. The trip will be under supervision of the fac ulty advisor, Mr. Hoskin. m m m A very important meeting of the Home Economics club was held last Wednesday at which officers wcro elected for the coming year as fol lows: Winifred Cook, president; Mu riel Harrison, vice-president; Kath erine Douglas, secretary-treasurer; Dorothy Sells, sergeant-at-arms. Fri day afternoon the girls gave a recep tion in honor of Miss Louise Ecclcs of the domestic art department, who has been absent from school for sev eral months. The affair was held in room G-6. which was beautifully dec orated in ferns and flowers. Dainty refreshments were served, Irene Bar bur and Geraldine Root pouring at the attractively decorated tables. The following committees were in charjre: Invitations. Katherine DeWitt and Winifred Cook: reception. Dor othy Sells. Edna May Root and Ger aldine King; programme.
