ment of the school in the past few
years, and introduced DR.. D. E. Jen-

Omaha with that of other cities of
the same size in number of educa-
tional institutions, and showed that
Omaha was far behind many of the
cities. He also pointed out the
necessity of raising the endowment
fund of $s00,000, which he declared
would be the foundation for a
greater university. Other short
talks were made by Charles Battle,
Thomas B. Dysart and Judge S. A.
Finger.
Announcement was made that the
evening classes in the law depart
ment would start next Monday.
The frst-year classes will be de-

Plans Made to Reclaim
Desert Lands of Nevada

Washington, Oct. 6.-.To en-
courage reclamation of Nevada's
desert lands, the house has passed
a bill authorizing exploration in that
state for underground waters to be
used for irrigation purposes. The
measure having passed the senate
now goes to the president.
Under its terms, the secretary OF
the interior is authorized to give q
homeseeker the exclusive right for
two years to develop underground
waters, and if in that time he
demonstrates the successful irriga-
ton of 20 acres, he is given $40
acres for his labor.
Peculiar climate and geographic
conditions in Nevada were cited by
proponents of the bill in urging its
passage. They pointed out that less
than 100000 of the 70,000,000 acres
in the state had become privately
owned under the existing home
stead and desert land laws, but that
if irrigation from underground were
successful, the states development
would be rapid.

enough for a man to carry on his
back!
This remarkable feat rarely per-
formed since the olden days of Joliet
was the realization of years Of dream
ing and was achieved rs the crowning
triumph of first arrival upon young
manhood's estate by John Condor and
Jack Clegg, seventeen and eighteen
years OF age, respectively, of Chicago
when Tuesday morning their diminu-
tive Titanic, as they styled their canoe
was padded into New Orleans and
moored at the head of Canal street.
The boys had entered an agreement
when they were tiny lads that as soon
as they should "grow up" they would
come to New Orleans in canoe. They
padded out of Chicago, down the
kankakee river May 1, thence into the
Illinois river and into the Mississippi.
The trip required fifty-three days
"All went WE'LL" said young Clegg,
until we ran into an eddy in the
Mississippi just out from Caruthers-
vile, Mo-, Hero our boat was capsized
and we came near drowning. We lost
all our equipment: Guns, tent, cook
ing utensils, food and everything else
went overheard, and we were left des-
titute. We clung to the canoe, which
was turned bottom-up, till finally a
gasoline boat came to our rescue and
pulled us to the edge of the river,
where we turned our boat over and
started again."
Condor was nearly drowned near
Balquemine, La, when the Titantic hit
another eddy. Clegg swan to shore,
seeking aid, while Condor clung to
the canoe, which again was turned
over, as they did not care to lose the
little boat.

clinging draperies are concerned.
 The many tiered skirt has it's vo- taries both in the shape of plaited or gathered 1ounces, which may be any where from two to five in number or in the form of a series of panels, one above the other, across the sides of the skirt, leaving the front and back smooth.
 But even when cutting the skirt in tiers the straight line frock still re- ceives consideration. This seemingly irreconcilable combination turns out very we'll in a blue velvet afternoon frock embroidered in dull green beads.
 The lower portion of the skirt is di- vided into a series of narrow fiat f1ounces, each decorated by pattern delicately picked out in bead embrOi dery. The sleeves are long and the girdle is round rope of the dull green beads.
 There are several desirable models in which the skirt, while very full is not circular. and so falls in straighter folds. In these the waistline is usual ly of the nipped in variety and the fullness of the skirt is set on in an irregular manner.
The Connecticut labor press., 1919-12-27
LONG WASTED MODELS

Models are not wanting in which a long waist is the distinguishing fea- ture and more and more favor is granted to the blousing bodice, par ticularly to a very long version of it the more practical garments for day time wear.
 The makers of tailored suits have accomplished the result by means of a number of interesting devices which have already been described. Similar devices, such as cartridge plaits and rather exaggera ed organ pipe plaits are employed to distend the hips of one piece frocks in the heavy fabrics like velvet and duvetyn.
 But in the case of the afternoon and in which the wide girdle is hip band after the oriental manner.

This is, of course, a dinner gown, but the oriental silhouette is much in evidence as we'll in the more gorgeous and decolletC evening gowns so far as the girdled hips and the straight and

l frankly pictorial and are confined ex- l cluSively to extremely youthful eve ming or dreSsy afternoon frOcks. One in deep rose taffeta, the other in ashes of roses silk, both have titled bodces, sharply pointed front and back over the fullness of the many gathered skirt folds. Both skirts are divided into three f1Ounces, the edges of which are widely scalloped and trimmed, in one instance with bands of gOffered plating and in the other with inter- laced French folds edged by narrow silk fringe
 The bOdices close at the back and the rose taffeta is laced through large eyeletS by means of a flet of the silk. Both have modest OblOng neck line and short elbow sleeves edged by the trimming and in the gray frock there is the addition of a small one-sided tichu fastened by a tiny quaint nose- gay, like which there are others placed here and there among the skirt flOunceS.
 The Widened Hip-Line
 Without entering the realm of eve ming frocks, in which there is always a good chance for the launching of pie turesque modes, one finds evidence of tendency toward a widened hip-Iine in informal evening gowns of more pliable textiles the widened hip-line is apt to be produced by draperies manipulated in a graceful and frequently irregular manner and also by a clever use of wide loops either of the fabric of the of wide ribbons which are to be had in such handsome variety.
 The flare of the hip is by no means
