DESCENDANT OF
SHAKESPEARE IN Ia,

Iowa City, May 5.--A lineal descend
ant of William Shakespeare's family
probably on his brothers side, since
the Bard of Avon gave his name to no
child that lived to bear issue-has
been discovered in Cedar Rapids, by
Prof. Lorin Stuckey of the department
OF political economy, s. U. I.
The man is William H. Winsor
aged 81, resident Of Cedar Rapids.
Professor Stuckey was carrying on
research work there, making survey
and historical sketch of the Knights
of Labor, now no more. Mr.. Winsor
is the custodian Of the labor assembly
hall, and thus the Hawkeye educator
came in contact with him, and ulti-
mately discovered the biographical
facts above noted Mr.. Winsor's fam
lily tree shows that he is direct
descendant of Mrs. Angeline Shakes
peare Winsor, born January 1, 1929.
She was one Of the children of Will
liam Shakespeare, born in Philadel-
phia, Pa, in 1891. Her grandfather,
on her fathers side was Stephen
Shakespeare, born at Stratford-on-
Avon.

NARROW GUAGE TO
REMAIN THAT WAY

Des Moines, May 5.-The only mar
row guage railroad remaining in Iowa
will remain narrow guage, according
to a decision handed down by the
Iowa railroad commission.
The commission denied the petition
enacted in the form of resolution by
the last general assembly, that the
branch Of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railroad extending from
Belleview of Cascade, be made stand
ard guage. The decision declared the
plan not feasible, both from point
of expense and business carried.
The narrow guage line is thirty-six
miles long. No passenger trains are
operated and the chief business is the
of grain and live stock.

AMES STUDENTS
To GO into CAMP
FIVE HUNDRED FRESHMEN WILL
SPEND A WEEK FROM
JUNE 8 TO 8.

Ames, May 5. Five hundred fresh
men, members of the cadet corps, SO
officers and band of Is students will
spend week in the second annual mil
itary camp to be held at Iowa State
college, June 3 to 8. Over 100 tents
will be pitched and General Rush Lin
coin will be In command.
1--WE are planning the most complete
work in military maneuvering that can
be crowded into seven days." says Gen-
eral Lincoln. The maneuvers Will be
held each morning of the week Cere-
monies, including guard mounting, par
ade and rife practice will be held each
afternoon. "Our 'headliner,' says the
general, will be a maneuver for COM
mand in which one battalion of 100
men will leave camp at a. NJ, pick
position for within three miles OF the
town, establish guards, outposts and q
position for defense. Three hours later
the two remaining battalions will send
out scouts and patrols, must locate
and attack the enemy by IL o'clock
noon. Victory for either side will be
judged by position, time taken to To-
cate the enemy and possibility Of ehec-
tive offense or defense. The maneu-
YER will teach the cadets scouting,
patrol, advance and outpost duty and
attack.
Drilling does not make soldier"
says General Lincoln. Camp LIE,
where actual problems are encountered
does. This is what the boys get IN
camp-a practical application for the
theory they have learned In eight
months of class room work and drill
ing" To make the class room work
still more practical General Lincoln
has just recently installed a number
of sand tables for use In teaching
digging.
Every cadet at Iowa State college In
order to pass military drill. which is
required for graduation, must attend
the camp. The boys will prepare the
camp, pitch the tents and do all the
camp work except the cooking. It cost
the students last year but 1925 apiece
for the entire week of camp expert
ence.

HERNsToRFF HOPEFUL.

New York, May Count Won Berns-
torn, the German ambassador, left
for Washington today on o'clock
train, after having received by wire
less telegraph at his hotel here the
text of the German note. The ambas-
sadpr denied himself to interviewers.
It is known, however, that the Ger
man embassy view is that the note is
III for which the United States asked;
that It signa1zes return to the opera
ton of submarines as cruisers, inter
cepting commerce with visit and
search. The embassy view is that in
asmuch as no mention was made in
the note Of the question Of armament
Il iS not complicating feature.

HIGH PLAYGROUND

Iowa City, May b.-The highest play
ground in Iowa-and, but for newly
improved protection, the most danger,
ous-has been made safe and sane,
and delightful. for the crippled child
rem and other 'kiddies' in iowa uni
versity hospital. It overlooks the uni
versity campus, and Is sixty feet IN
the air, on the roof of the hospital.
The officials have surrounded the roof
with a woven wire fence, seven feet
high and the children thus have an
ideal playground of remarkable type.
A trained nurse is with them, when
they are on the roof. although 1t is
now perfectly safe. For sun and air.
Of course, the playground cannot be
eQualed In Iowa.
