E. Fanning. Second prize of $3 went to Milton C: ‘]‘ohnsnn, 3131 Davenport street, a sophomore 1n the Central High school. Grant A, Forbes, 214 South Forty-first street, Creighton High school student, was awarded third honors, $2. Some time ago the postmaster of- fered three cash prizes to students of Omaha schools who would submit the best essays on the handling of Christ- mas mails. The object was not so much to get ideas from the students as to interest the people of the city to do their Christmas mailing early. Assistant Postmaster Woodard and Superintendent o Mails Metland were the judges of the contest.

The botany class had the opportunity of en- joying her descriptions of these plants as she_had learned to know them while living in Pexas. The classes fn domestic sclence have been studying sugar recently. They made candies Which were placed on sale by the Young Women's Christian assoctation, which organi- zation received the profit On Wednesday evening the preliminary contests In tho Interclass basket ball tourna- ment took place and Friday night the finals were played off. The winning team in the upper class contosts will have a large plo- ture taken, which will be framed and hung in a consplcuous place In the chapel. Ban- ners will be presented to the winners in the preparatory classes, An orchestra concert will chapel just before Christmas. Some valuable reference books on the Ii- brary shelves are usd very frequently by the “students. ~There are six volumes of “Who's Who," 1916; “The States: man's Year_Hook” and “The American Ye Book : 1913 to 1912 to 1915; be given In ger's dex to Poetry and Recit; Firkin's “Index to Short Storfes,” Kastman's “Index to Il‘ll;r Tales," “Cyclopedias of Quotations’ by Hoyt and Walsh and by Bartlett, Brewer's “Readora’ " and “Dictionary of Phrase ai r's “Index to Historical Fiction.” The bazar held by the young women of the Young Women's Christian assoclation last Saturday was a docided success in every vay and will help very materially with the xpense of sending delegates to Estes Park next summer for the annual convention of the college organizations. The vacation for the Christmas holiday will be from Friday evening, December 22, § P. m., to January 3, 8:45 a. m. Miss Scovel gave a very pleasing story of the opera “Il Trovatore" at chapel last Monday. using three Victrola records, "The *hor ‘Miserere” and ‘“Home to Our Mountaing. The very generous co-operation of the mer- chants of Chadron in advertising the Young much appreciated by the presi ulty of the Normal. Registrar R. C. King attended a meeting of the registrars from the four Normal schools during the Thanksgiving vecation. The meeting was held at Kearney for the purpose of discussing and adopting uniform methods of making semi-annual and biennial reports to the board. Several members of the faculty spent the holidays last week in towns to’the south- west, visiting relatives and triends. Prof. Bostder visited with his family at Lodgepolo and Minatare, Mrs, Hulbert spent the vaca- tion at Cody, Mrs. Rustin at Hemingford and Prof. Ciemens at Alllance. Work on the junior play will begin after Christmas. Parts hiave been assigned al. ready, but_active practice has been deferred till after Christmas. The Alice Freeman Palmer soclety reors ganized two weeks ago at a meeting held in the chapel, when oighteen new members were recelved. On Tuesday afternoon of last week the regular meeting occurred, conslst- ing of literary and musical numbers. A Christmas program was given on the after- noon of December 15. ~The old Yuletide festivities, Christmas in literature, some storfes and readings and musical numbers made up the program. Hastings College. The tryouts for the debating teams are to be held next Tuesday and Wednesday. More th: fifty students have entered the debates and Prof. McCracken is having quite a time to select the teams to be used againat York and Grand Island colleges and the Kearney State normal. On Monday, the oratorical contest Is to be held in the college chapel. Three stu- dents are contesting for the honor of repre- Wagon by an Auto Philo Johnson, teamster, 2304 North Twenty-Fifth street, suffered internal injuries which may prove serious, yesterday afternoon, when he was knocked from his wagon at Twentieth and Harney by an auto driven by Byron R. Hastings, Omaha real estate operator. Johnson is employed as a driver by the Adams Express company. John O’Hearn, fireman at St, Fran- cis’ hospital, Grand Island, Neb., suf- fered the loss of his left foot last night when a mail truck in the Union station run across it. He was at- tended by police surgeons. O’Hearn was on his way to Chicago from Grand Island. David Haynes, Council Bluffs, was painfully hurt at Ninth and Douglas streets last night when he fell from a strect car, which he was trying to board while it was in motion. Crepe Paper Has Many Holiday Uses Once we spent hours shopping for Christmas gifts and then hurriedly and thoughtlessly “did them up.” Now we fare forth with a detailed list, select quickly the gifts desired and then very deliberately and carefully sit down to pack, box, wrap, tic and decorate them in appropriate Christ- mas fashion. Fine white “wed cake” papers, red plated papers, tis- sue and crepe papers in plain colors and printed crepe papers make the best wrappings. The boxes shown arc all wrapped in crepe papers, a plain white, a plain gray and a holly and mistletoe printed paper. The lat- ter package is tied with a red tinsel cord, the others with gummed ribbon. Gummed ribbons in red, green, gold and silver, also in several printed de- signs, three-cighths inch wide, in rolls fifteen and twenty yards long, and cost usually 10 cents a roll. The paper is strongly gummed and sticks quick- ly and fast. Pretty Christmas seals, “Do not open,” and address labels, tags and cards are also not only dec- orative, but very necéssary adjuncts to the Christmas package. Beauty. There is an old saying that beauty is only skin deep, but that is far from the truth. Beauty is founded on good health—without that there is no real beauty. You can cover up a muddy or sallow complexion with face pow- der, but it will not be beautiful. A homely woman in good health is usually more interesting and charm- ing than a bilious dyspeptic beauty. Constipation and a sluggish liver im- pair good looks. If you are troubled in this way take Chamberlain’s Tab- lets and you will soon be looking better and feeling better, genting the college In the state contest. These are Miss Delta Bowen of White Lake, 8. D.; Milton Mook of Bloomington, Neb., and David Yue, a Korean student of Honolulu. Next Thursday evening closes the first term of the year, when the students will depart for their homes to spend the holl- days. College will open a on January 3. Basket ball tournament is being held this week, after which tho basket ball team may be selected and a captain chosen for the year. The Kappa Tau Phi Literary society gave a Christmas program last Tuesday in the college chapel which was especially enjoyed. Among week those who led chapel the last are Miss Hill, Dr. Bean and Mrs, Dr. Bean spoke on “Christian Mrs. Logsdon on the "“Edu tlonal System for Women in Germany." Prof. Unruh assisted Miss Hill by glving two splendid_vocal solos. Prof. Unruh is giving a tryout this week for the Hastings Colege Glee club. A large number of persons have presented them- selves for membership In the club this year, a larger number than ever before. Prof. L. K. McCracken went to Red Cloud on Saturday to conduct study center work there and at Guide Rock. The Latin olub held a meeting in the Young Men's Christian assoctation rooms this waek and discussed the influence of Latin paganism on the church and our Christmas customs. The Young Women's Christian association girls are to be congratulated on having “put over” thelr campaign for funds to pay for their new plano. Scarcely was the piano placed in their quarters when it was paid for entirely. The opening of the new dormitory took place last Monday and was largely attended. Victrola music was furnished for the oc cason and the young women of the dormi- tory showed themselves to be splendid hostesses. Mrs. Logsdon, head of the mathematlics department, will spend the holidays at her home in Blizabethtown, Ky. Miss Hill, who has taken Prof. Unruh's work during his illness, will close her labors this week and depart for her home in Wis- consin, Kearney Normal.

Superintendent Clark of the State Indus- trial school addressed the Rural School club last Tuesday.
