THE DAILY IOWAN The Student Newspaper of the Student University of Iowa ------------------------------------ Vol. XVIII-New Series Vol. III Iowa City, Iowa, Sunday, February 16, 1917 Number 57 ______________ HAWKEYES WALLOP AMES 27 TO 17 ---------------------- BARONESS HUARD WILL SPEAK HERE WEDNESDAY NIGHT ---- French Noblewoman Will Tell Her Experiences During The Great War ---- IS AUTHOR OF TWO BOOKS ---- Volumes Relate How Madame Huard Turned Her Chateau Into a Military Hospital ---- Baroness Frances Wilson Huard of France will speak in teh natural science auditorium next Wednesday evening, Feb. 19, at 7:30 on the subject, "My Home in the Field of Honor." Her lecture will be a story of her personal experiences during the war. Baroness Huard has spoken in many of the large cities of the United States and Canada, and has met with great popularity. She is an American by birth, but French by education and marriage. She is the daughter of the noted actor, Francis Wilson, and has lived in France since her marriage to Baron Charles Huard. After the outbreak of the war the baron went into the service and was official artist to the sixth army of France. Baroness Huard's servants began to leave and she found herself practically alone in the chateau which was located between Paris and Soissons, sixty miles from the former city, and almost on the banks of the historic Marne. Baroness Huard's awakening to the full realization of the meaning of war was enhanced by the immediate appearance of thousands of helpless refugees, fleeing the terrible drives and atrocities of the Germans. She remained to administer to those in need, and her chateau became an inn for refuguees. The baroness was finally forced to abandon her home, and in doing so had a hair's breadth escape. At 2 o'clock one morning she left her chateau, and at 4 o'clock General Von Kluck occupied it as his headquarters. Installed Hospital When the time of battle turned, there followed the triumphant return of her little party across the still smoking battlefields. The exquisite chateau had been looted and defiled, and every treasure stolen and defaced. A military hospital was installed and Baroness Huard's home in the filed of honor really became home of mercy and succor for the wound French. She managed the hospital herself. Madame Huard has published two books, "My Home in the Field of Honor," and "My Home in the Field of Mercy." These volumes have won a lasting place in the hearts of the American reading public. They are illustrated by her husband. ------- Try-outs for the University Players will be held in the natural science auditorium, Tuesday, Feb. 25, at 7:15 o'clock. These try-outs will be either short readings or small portions of some play, or if preferred, material will be given that night to those who wish them. -------------------------------- DON'T CONFUSE THE TWO Y. W. discussional classes will take up the study of conditions in the Philippines this week. A recent announcement as to the discontinuation of the course given by the school of religion has no connection with these classes. -------- RED CROSS IS TOPIC OF NURSE INSTITUTE ---- Knowledge of Home Hygiene Is Needed by Lay Women to Combats Epidemics ----- Probably the biggest feature of the Nurse's Institute which closed Friday was the discussion of the Red Cross reconstruction program by Minnie H. Ahrens, director of the Central Division, department of nursing, Thursday afternoon. In explaining the diagram showing the relation of the committee on nursing activities to the chapter executive committee and the duties of the sub-committee, Miss Ahrens stress the need of home hygiene and care of the sick by lay women in order that they may be qualified to cooperate with the country nurse and the committee on nursing service in time of an epidemic. "How to Care for and Prevent Tuberculosis in the Home," was the topic of a talk by Helen S. Hartley of Des Moines, Thursday. Friday's program consisted of a continuation of the talks on the principles of teaching by Dean W. F. Russell, and a discussion on "Adapting the Home Nursing Course to the Public School Curriculum," by Dolly Twitchell, associate director of the Central division, department of nursing. The institute closed with a talk by Laura Chennel, University nurse, on the accuracy of charting and keeping records. ----- FORM SOCIOLOGICAL FORUM ----- Interests in Social Problems Prompts Organization ----- A Sociological Forum was organized Thursday evening by students in the department of sociology and economics. The object of the Forum is the discussion of modern social problems, and to become a clearing house for field work in social service so that agencies may get in touch with persons interested in or willing to undertake active field work, and to inspire other persons with the need for such service. The organization hopes to be instrumental in getting social workers as University lecturers and to secure other persons as speakers who are not guests of the University. Membership is not limited to any University registration or scholastic requirements, anyone interested is welcome. A committee has been elected to draw up a constitution which will be submitted at a meeting next Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock in the liberal arts drawing room. Meetings will be held on alternate Thursdays. The choice of subjects at the meetings will be elastic. ------ COMMUNITY SONGS WILL BE FEATURE OF VESPER SERVICE Mrs. Starbuck Will Give Short Address on Reasons for Group Singing -- ORCHESTRA TO ASSIST CHOIR -- President Wilson Encourages Community Singing as Means to Honoring Peace --- Vesper services will be held in the natural science auditorium at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The program will be largely devoted to community singing. President Wilson has requested that community singing be encouraged, in order to commemorate the signing of the armistice, and to honor the return of soldiers. Sufficient song books will be provided for everyone who wishes to take part in signing familiar songs. Prof. W. E. Hays will direct the singing, assisted by the accompaniment of the University orchestra. Both Men's and Women's Glee clubs are included in the vesper choir, which will sing an anthem. Miss Bertha A. Cooper of the school of music will assist the choir. Dr. O. E. Van Doren directs the University orchestra in its selection. The Rev. Herbert L. Searles, student pastor of the Presbyterian church will deliver the invocation. "Community Music" will be the subject of a short address by Mrs. Anna Diller Starbuck. The vesper program follows: On an Autumn Day ...... Braham University Orchestra America ......Audience Invocation Rev. Herbert L. Searles Anthem, :Send Out thy Lights"... Gounod Vesper Choir and University Orchestra Community Singing Audience Address, "Community Music" Mrs. Anna Diller Starbuck Community Singing - Audience Benediction ---------- MILITARY NOTICES The first sergeant of each company of the cadet regiment and the battalion adjutants are hereby requested to report to Sergeant Maier at the armory some time Monday afternoon. ---- The first and second lieutenants of each company are requested to be present at Luscombe's studio at 12 o'clock Monday. ---- A meeting of all officers of the cadet regiment is called for 4. o'clock Monday afternoon at the armory. G. F. Killinger, Regimental Adjt. -------- LOW AIR PRESSURE The recent storm had the lowest air pressure in years, so registered the barograph in the old science building. Often such a low pressure in the forerunner of a winter tornado but usually it comes later in the year. It was lowest last Thursday at midnight when the barometer read twenty-eight and one-half inches. ------ JESSUPS ENTERTAIN FROSH Mr. and Mrs. Walter A. Jessup will be at home informally to all first year students in the University Friday evening Feb. 21 at 7:30. No formal invitations will be issued. ------ NOTED ALUMNUS WILL SPEAK ON FAR NORTH -- Vilhjalmur Stefansson to Come March 5 Under Auspices of Women's League -- Vilhjalmur Stefansson, noted alumnus of the University, will relate many thrilling experiences of the far north, in his lecture to be given March 5, under the auspices of the Women's league. Mr. Stefansson took his undergraduate work in the University, and later studied at Harvard and the American Museum of Natural History in New York city, immediately before embarking on his interesting and unusual career of exploration and discovery. For ten years he has devoted himself exclusively to the work, which has made him famous as one of the greatest of modern explorers, and which entitles him to the high esteem in which he is held by his contemporaries. Stefansson proved his theory that he could obtain sufficient food from ice and water for the use of an entire party, and for many months they lived far from civilization, with no other food than that obtained by their own hands. At the end of that time Stefansson still had left, many dogs in god condition. He is a man of enormous strength and endurance, and those who know say that no other man could have endured the hardships that he suffered. Most of his theories have been proven beyond doubt, and have established his enviable reputation among the scientists of the world by achievement alone. ------ FOUR STUDENTS WRITE FOR FEBRUARY ALUMNUS The February number of the Alumnus will be out tomorrow, according to late reports from the editorial office. Among the contributors are prominent alumni and students. Dean Chas. R. Brown of the Yale school of religion has an article "Taking Stock: The Moral Gains of a Year." Major B. J. Lambert will give from his own experience, "Back of the St. Mihiel Salient." "Practicing Law Among the Choctaws" is to be discussed by John T. Bailey, Albion, Okla. Dr. Walter L. Bierring of Des Moines has contributed an article, "Reveries of a Doctor: The Old Medical Building." Shorter articles by students are: a review of athletics, Charles Brown; a sketch of woman in journalism, Helen Hays; comments on American Life and education, Chiang Liu of China; a discussion of fraternity activities, Harold Rigler. ------ REHEARSAN AT 2:45 All members of the Men's and Women's Glee clubs and the University orchestra will meet for a final rehearsal in the natural science auditorium this afternoon at 2:45 sharp. ------ OLD GOLD TRIUMPHS OVER CYCLONE TEAM WITH GREAT EASE --- Walters' Men Unable to Get Shots Forced to Bow to Hawkeyes By 27-17 Score --- WHOLE IOWA TEAM STARS --- Ames Takes Brief Brace in Final Period But Bannick's Menn Soon Cinch Game --- Iowa was too much for Coach Walters' Aggies last night and had no trouble winning from the visitors 27-17. the result was never in doubt from the minute Olson caged the first basket shortly after the start of the game. Ames was unable to score a field goal until thirty seconds before the end of the first half. Playing a smooth, heady game, Coach Bannick's Hawkeyes circled the Cyclone defense men time after time for close up shots at the hoop. Baskets by Olson and Berrien gave Iowa an 11 to 4 lead when the gun announced the end of the first period. Ames came back stronger in the second frame and forced the Old Gold to exert themselves slightly for a short time. R. Miller and Levsen both played a duet on the iron hoop, but the Aggie spurt was short lived. In the main, Ames was forced to take long shots which in most cases fell short. Long, slow passes also killed any possibility of team work on the part of the visitors. On the other hand, Iowa's short snappy passes obtained results, and the Old Gold men missed few shots at the circle. It is difficult to pick an Iowa star as the whole quintet played stellar ball. Nicholaus broke into the scoring column rather heavily with three field goals to his credit. Olson had a similar tally and Berrien, Brown, and Cotton each shook the net twice. Shepher and R. Miller played exceptionally good ball for Ames. Iowa (27) Ames (17) Olson RF B. Miller Berrien (c) LF Shepherd Finlayson C Levsen (c) Nicholaus RG R.

Free throws: Brown 3 out of 4, Shepherd 3 out of 6. Referee- Hedges of Dartmouth. ------ SIGMA NUS WIN Sigma Nu defeated the Betas 11 to 3 in intrafraternity basket ball last Thursday night. The first half was closely contested and ended 3 to 3. The playing of the two Devines featured. In the second game the A. T. O's won a close contest from the Sigma Chi 3 to 1. After seeing the Taus toss at the hoop a countless number of times during the first half the Sigma Chis tried it during the last half but with no better results. ------ Prof. C. M. Case will speak at Christian Endeavor at the Congressional church this evening at 6:30 p.m.
