He is now director of the well-known Colorado Museum of Natural History in Denver, Col. orado and his avocation is the mak- ing of pictures of wild life in natur- al color. During the years he has presented his lectures on the out of-doors to widespread audiences.
 "The Four Corners the Land of the NavajoS," the meeting place of Colorado, New Mexico, Ari- zona, and Utah, is an arid region-- the home of the Navajos. It is a colorful country, especially in the spring, and the cameras of the l1a- tUralists of the Colorado Museum of Natural History have faithfully recorded the plants and animals en- countered on the Museums field trip. Included in the film sequence are views of the high mountains of Colorado with ptarmigan; views down the Colorado River in Utah; the Arches National Monument; the Goose-necks of the San Juan; Mesa Verde National Park; the famous Ship Rock; the Four Cor ners; de Chelly National Monument and the picturesque Monument Val ley with its Navajo Indians.
 Dr. Bailey has been on the pro- grams of the following organiza- tions among many others: three times in four years at the National Geographic Society; five successive years at the American Museum of Natural History; five successive years at the Field Museum of Na- tural History; twelve successive years at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia; The Geo. graphic Society of Chicago; The Geographical Society of Philadel- phia and at many Universities across the country all the way from Columbia University in New York City to the University of Califor- mia, Berkeley, Cal.

 Their plane was behind the lead bomber when the latter was hit and fell out of formation. The pilot side-slipped arS almost stalled the fort to avoid the falling bomber which exploded and ripped oil the glass nose of their plane.

 Hartford Conn, March 17-(UP) >-Prof. George Ross Wells, Hartford seminary foundation psychologist, declaring that the college diploma set "false goal" on education, pro- posed today that they be done away with "or be given to everyone as soon as they enter college"
 Then, he said, "those who just want degree can leave right away, and those who are left can stay for an education"
 Prof. Wells said he was convinced that higher edudcation should be more Q la carte and less table d. llote," and declared that "the more advanced the education, the less systematic it should be. Higher ed- ucation should allow George Wells to be George Wells and develop as George Wells"
 The psychologist said that if he ever founded a college, the curricu- 1um would be arranged so that "Stu- dents could pick what they liked, and eat as much as they wanted. And not for degree, not for credit"
 Moreover, he said, middle-aged and elderly people would be encour- aged to attend such college be- cause higher education as it is now administered, actually discourages elder people from furthering their learning"

Eastland Is Navy Training Ship Nov

The Armistice halted those plans, and

ship. She had long way to 90 before
her penance was done.
Finally, the Navy put Der to work:
The task of training recruits for the
seagoing feet. Her masters reported she
handled well, had no bad habits and
seemed willing to do her part.
Twenty five years passed in this work
before necessity applied the whip. She
was old, as ships go these days, and
people had forgotten her history. The
Navy was fighting again and needed
sorely every man who knew what q ship
looked like, how she functioned, and
how to use guns in sub-killing.
She took aboard nidshipmen from
Western schools and they were trained
to hand, reef and steer" or the modern
counterparts thereof; she took boots"
from sprawling Great Lakes Station and
they were welded into gun crews for
armed merchantmen SO they could fight
the prowling submarine.
She kept station ct times in cold Mo-
vember until spray iced her decks and
she pitched her propellors clear Of the
gray water. She's still on station

and at first took the matter as . huge
joke, reminding the committee that the
play was worth something like million
dollars. But after the young men had
told him of the good work, and chart
table work, that had been accomplished
by the organization they represented.
he suddenly changed his attitude and
said, Eyes, will lend 1t to you" And
the result was that Dorothy" was first
produced according to plans at the Ma
tional Theater on Friday afternoon, De-
cember IA, 1894, to crowded house.
That the play was a great success is
vouched for by The Stars dramatic
critic, who said in part:
1.-THE organization OF Columbian Uni
versity students and alumni known as
The Players made It's first public ap-
pearance yesterday afternoon at the
New National Theater, presenting the
opera Dorothy The result showed that
there is excellent material among the
young gentlemen, both unsteady and
dramatically, and the musical director.
"The young gentlemen did what has
not been attempted by any other male
organization-they sang the solos and
concerted music in adherence to the
original score, instead Of singing in
unison, as Is usually the case. Those
who sustained female parts did very
well In their unaccustomed attire, nota-

she lay on her beam ends, 812 dead In
the tween decks and the remaining ex-
cursionists struggling to escape the in
sidious grasp Of the river.
The Eastland lay there until her dead
had been taken out and then she was
towed to a refitting yard. No one wanted
the ship. She was pariah, a high-deck,
V-bottomed liner with tragedy In her
history; and In a forgotten channel she
lay quiet and mournful and deserted.
Then men went aboard her again,
about two years later, and began to cut
down the high topsides. They left her
forecastle high but trimmed the midship
and after sections until she had only
one deck clear Of the water.
They left her two slender stacks just
abaft the wheelhouse and they recon-
ditioned her internal organs, cleaning
the engines. putting In oil instead Of
coal, increasing her cruising range by
cutting her speed to is knots.

Then she was turned over to the

CHICAGO.-The S. s. Eastland. which
carried S12 persons to their deaths 2s
years ago in one of the worst marine
disasters on record, is serving the Ma
ton today as a training vessel for crews
of Americas deep-water feet.
Her fate 20 years ago was exile to a
back channel; today. az the U. 8. s.
Wilmette, she has berth on Chicago's
lake front.
The Eastland was built shortly before
World War I. Designed for speed, she
had twin screws driven by reciprocating
engines, and could make q knots. Her
cruising range was 800 miles, limited
because her builders considered speed
more important than distance in view
OF the trade she was expected to carry.
Her history was uneventful- usual

1915. That morning, a mild, clear day.
