STUDENTS SHOW THEIR WORK.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, May 15.-The
annual engineering exhibition at the
University of Michigan opened here to-
day for two day showing by the en-
gineering, architectural and forestry
departments of the university. The
civil engineers present municipal en-
cheering problems and demonstrate
REINFORCED concrete; the mechanical
engineers exhibit steam engines and
turbines, a refrigerating plant, liquid
air machine, and automatic motors;
and the electrical engineers demon
strate high tension phenomena, mod
ern Illuminating methods, wireless tel
egraphy, etc.
This show is a conspicuous example
of what the western state institutions
know as ulitilitarian idealism, for it
shows it is possible to combine the
idealism of the scholar with the ;itiiii-
TAI ianlsm of the engineer.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

COLUMBIA, S. c., May 15.-The
democratic state convention met here
today and it is probable that the pro-
posed amendments to the rules of the
democrats party in South Carolina,
throwing restrictions around the use
of the ballot in the primary, will be
adopted. Gov. Blease made strong
fight at the election of delegates to
gain control of this meeting, but was
overwhelmingly defeated. He had
hoped to prevent to adoption of the
new rules, because they will have the
effect of disenfranchising many of his
supporters among the cotton mill
workers and tenant farmers, and they
may possibly embarrass him in his
race for the United States senate.

the lack of correspondence between
the appearance of the performers and
our preconceived notions as to how
they ought to look, and also from the
variations in the traditional version of
the story. Ever since the day when
we first studied Roman history or
conned our Latin lessons, We have
all doubtless had very vivid mental
images of Antony, Cleopatra, and
Octavius just as we have of characters
in Dickens, Thackeray, and Scott,
mental eye as the persons we pass
every day on the street or meet in
our homes. It is only natural, though
unreasonable, that we should feel a
sort of distress when the faces and
figures flashed upon the canvas are
not those which have been so long
part of our mental content Any de-
parture from the familiar course of
the story affects us in much the same
way, though we are fully aware that /
the version we know so well is per- /,
haps no more authentic than the one
used by the moving picture manager
Every great author who has handled |
those classic stories has changed them
10 suit his own whims and dramatic
and even the Latin historians
show differences that are not trivial
n the narration of incidents. But
however little Cleopatra resembled the
air and delicate Egyptian of our
lreams, and however little the noble
antony conveyed the sense of strength

eminine charms, the regret was fleet

OREGON STATE PRIMARIES ON.
Big Election Today in Oregon for Sen
at0r, Governor and Other Offices.

! PORTLAND, May 15.-With 152 can
didates contesting for nominations for
state and district offices, the largest
field in history, the statewide primar-
les are in progress in Oregon today
Fifteen candidates aspire to be gov
ernor. Eight are republicans, five are
democrats and two are progressives.
The campaign was particularly
free from personalities, each candidate
laying his claim to office on merit
alone.
The United States senatorial contest
created little interest as far as the
primaries are concerned, as only one
candidate from each party is on the
ticket. They are: George E. Cham
berlain, democrat, incumbent; R. A.
Booth, republican, and William Han
ley, progressive.

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA.

To the spectator sitting for two
hours absorbed in the contemplation
of films depicting the thrilling scenes
in the famous and wonderful tragedy
of Antony and Cleopatra, it seems as
though the dramatic genius which
plans and directs such productions
must, in many respects, have now
reached it's climax. Surely no future
attempt can claim more performers,
more skilful acting, or settings more
appropriate and effective. Above ALL
it can hardly be expected that the i'm
preston of reality can ever be more
profound, for dramatic Illusion was
never for a second less than perfect.
If to any person the presentation
was not entirely satisfactory, the dis
appointment must have arisen from

Great Growth of Evil.

been investigating white slave con-
ditions and reports an alarming
growth of the evil in all parts of the
empire, but especially in the large
cities. Attiref in the garb of a Sister

terror of the white Slavers" in Ger

waged her campaign single-handed.
Even the police, it is claimed, placed
obstacles in her way. She makes a
speciality of rescuing children who, it
is claimed, are openly offered for a
