Preparations for the Big May Day Celebration at Earl- , ham Held in Two Weeks, Are Going On.

(Continued from Page One.) f Day songs Including "Come Lassies I and Lads," "Hie to tbe May Pole." "Here's Robin Hood," and others, are being coached by Prof. Chase. They have held several rehearsals at the regular chapel hour so that the entire student body could participate. The chorus for the comic opera of "Robin Hood" is perhaps the best drilled of any, and although tha opera Itself Is not to be given until commencement day, the chorus will participate in the May Day festivities and render some of their most attractive songs. The program for the afternoon of May 12 will be headed by the general procession, followed by the crowning of the May Queen and the winding of the May Poles, of which there are to be three. Then the crowd will separate, part going to the east and part to the west campus where the plays and drills will be given. The performances on each campus will be repeated twice so that all may have an opportunity to see each of them. Advance programs have been received from the press and are being mailed to .thousands of the college alumni and friends, who are expected to attend. The programs for the day are now being made up and will be on the press in a few days.

MAKING NEEDLES. , Various Processes Through Which the Steel Wire Must Pass. Needles sre made from steel wire, which Is first cut by shears from coils Into the length of tbe needles to be made. After a bath of such bits a bare been cut out they are placed in n fnrnace, then rolled until perfectly straight. Next tbe needle pointer takes up a dozen or so of tbe wires and rolls them between his thumb and finger, with their ends on a turning grindstone, first one and then the other being ground. Tha little steel bobbins are next fed Into a xnaehtno which flattens and guttert'the heads, after which the eyes sre punched. - They are now complete needles, but rough and easily bent. Careful heating and sodden cooling gives them th necessary temper, and nothing remains but to giro thenvtfcelr final polish. On coarse cloth needles are spread to the number of 40.000 or 50.000. Emerj dust la strewed over them, oil Is sprlu kled on and soft soap daubed over the cloth, which, rolled tightly. Is thrown into a pot with others,' where It roll boat for twelve boars or more. When taken from this friction bath' the needles require only rinsing lu clean hot water, when, they fro ready to bo sorted and packed. Chicago !Qribane. ' . ' ' 1 Pulton and the Clermont. ' The first trip of Robert Fulton up the Hudson river In the Clermont was thai described. In the American Cltlen of Aug. 17. 1810: "Mr. Fulton's Ingenious Steam Boat Invented with View to the Navigation of The Mississippi from New Orleans upwards. Sails today from the North River, near tbe State Prison, to Albany. The Velocity of The Steam Boat is Calculated at four miles an hour. It Is said that It will make a progress of two agslnst Tbe Current of The Mississippi, and If so It will certainly bo very Taluable acquisition to the Commerce of the Western States." According to Edward Hagaman nail's history, the Clermont made tbe trip to Albany In thirty-two boufa. Tho state prison referred to stood on the block In New York now bounded by Washington.

Another attempt In this direction was tbe Castalla. In which tho saloon waa suspended like hammock with a view to minimizing tho pitching and rolling. This turned out an utter failure.

CHOOSING THE

BY CHARLES T. President tbe Thomas B Automobile owners everywhere are pretty well agreed that in choosing a1 car, the first and most important thing Is to choose tbe maker. . The purchase of an automobile involves a sufficient: amount to warrant a very thorough investigation as to his status. The-buyer of today expects his car to continue in service for many years. The older makes are so well standardized, and little hcanges appear from year to year that the quality of a car like the Rambler and its value will remain the same throughout several years of service. In choosing a maker, the first requirement Is that of stability. The finances of the maker' should be known to be sound that there may be no question about the permanency of the source of parts supply. Experience may be considered next, as all other things being equal, that manufacturer who has longest been building automobiles, should know what design is most efficient and reliable, and what material Is best suited to the purposes of the different parts. He has also had time to build an organization and establish a standard of workmanship that will insure tbe proper application of design and material. Study the advertising of the maker if you want to know about his character. As we judge people by what they -say we judge companies also by what they say. Truthful end conservative advertising given with a deBire to assist the buyer to make intelligent comparisons, and the absence of disparaging statements about other cars, suggest a fixed policy that is counting upon confidence to gradually build up a permanent business. The well established maker has a fixed policy; his prices are fixed. That policy is known to his customers, and from the most reliable concerns. It is possible to get a definite statement of the policy of the house.. The independence of the maker is vital, as it is only through his independence that the purchaser may have a guarantee of the fulfillment of the claims of the maker, and the assurance of being able to get parts" for his car. if necessary, at some future time. Find out, if you can, what progress the maker has made; what his past successes have been. Any buyer may safely invest his money with a manufacturer who has progressed steadily and surely without quick, sensational expansion at the risk of stability. Considering tbe matter from the owner's standpoint appearance, per haps, strikes the purchaser first, but when it comes to a demonstration of actual use, comfort is always demanded by the experienced buyer. The question of comfort has many sides, and every point which effects it must be considered. . It was once thought that If the springs were properly flexible, comfort would necessarily follow, but It is now Just as Important that the seats be of proper height and depth, and that there be sufficient room is front between the seats and pedals to avoid a cramped position. The leather must be soft and pliable the cushion springs neither too hard nor too soft, and just the right amount

Shock absorbers are necessary to soften the impact of -severe jolts, and limit, any reasction. The tonneau foot rests should be adjustable to suit the differ ent occupants. The wheel base should be long to neutralize the inequalities of the road and the larger the diameter of the wheels, the less shocks of any kind will be transmitted to the passengers. The position or the steering wheel In relation to tbe seat is important to the driver, as a cramped position tires. Comfort is never possible when there is tire trouble. This Is difficult to overcome, except with a detachable wheel. " The Rambler Spare Wheel con be so easily and quickly changed that the Rambler owner never worries about tire trouble. , The brakes must be positive, that all passengers may feel secure. Either one of the two brakes on the 1911 Rambler will bring the car to a stop within fifty feet when going at a speed of eighteen miles per hour. Even the most careful . driver Is sometimes absent . minded, and owners prefer a device which will reduce the possibility of accidents at such times. By automatically retarding the spark, the Rambler Safety Cranking Device prevents a back kick of tbe motor. . Safety bas much to do with comfort, and safety depends upon many little details of design and workmanship. , , RESTAURANTS. They Really Had Their Origin In the First French Revolution. The restaurant of the present time had Its origin In the first French revolution, toward tbe close of the eighteenth century. And tbe reputation of the French for good cookery and tbe delicacy of taste in eating as well as In producing toothsome dishes and morsels dates practically from the same time. That revolution meant ruin to many noble families, and their downfall meant ruin also for their chefs, so some of the latter hit upon tbe Idea of opening houses where dainties prepared by their skilled bands could be obtained. If the experiment succeeded the chefs would be as well off as when in service. The idea was pleas ing to the public, the restaurants did a large business, and the proprietors had no reason to regret the revolution from a monetary point of view. Then it. occurred to others that the people might appreciate being educat ed up to this fine cookery, and many books on the culinary art were published and sold well. One of the most noted of these was "Tbe Gourman Al manack," which appeared in 1798. Restaurant really means "restoring' and was applied to these places be cause you went there to have something to revive or restore your falling strength. Palladium Want Ads Pay.

WILL BRYAN WRECK

DEMOCRATIC PARTY Personal Ambition of the Nebraskan Is Feared b the Party Leaders. American Xewi Service!','''. Washington, April 29. Fear that the personal ambition of William Jennings Bryan may wreck Democracy's chance to elect a president in 1912 is being expressed by many of the house Democrats. Belief appears to be gaining ground that the, thrice defeated Nebraskan has arrayed himself against Judson Harmon of Ohio, as the next Democratic national candi date and is coquetting with the Incip ient booms of Champ Clark and Woodrow Wilson in the expectation that the Democratic convention will find itself divided and will finally-return him in the intrest of harmony to bear again the party's standard. ... Bryan has made no announcement as yet as to his choice for the presidential nomination. Recently he stated that be was "surveying the field before giving my support to one candidate or another.? -V '.Are Two Factions. In the house there are Bryan Demo crats and anti-Bryan Democrats. There is also a group of Democrats headed by Representative Frank Clark of Florida, who resented. Bryan's pres ence in Washington when, the house was organized and who claim that the Nebraskan interfered in that organization. Bryan was also severely criticized for injecting himself into the fight over the Democratic leadership of the senate. These differences are independent however, of the feeling that is mani fest at the capital. Even those who have supported Bryan In former years declare that he is not the man for 1912. Conviction is freely expressed in the cloakrooms that Bryan's opposi See Our New Lace Yoking Nets and All Over Embroidery at 50c, 60c, 65c & 75c Yd.

tion to Harmon will be sufficient to split the convention into socalled progressive and conservative factions and that the Nebraskan will anally come forward as the only progressive "upon whom all progressives can unite." The majority of Democrats In the house and senate believe that Democracy will win in 1912,' with any other presidential nominee than Bryan. Even Republicans among themselves admit that the Republican outlook for 1912 is exceedingly gloomy. The part Bryan may play is'vlewed as vital in the situation and some of the possibilities offered are more feared by many of the Democratic leaders than any mistake the house may make.
