MAJOR LAMBERT BACK-WILL RESUME WORK HERE (continued from page 1) Major Lambert was in Tours. From his description of the celebration, it must have been a counterpart of the American brand, although the major insists that "the French dont know how to celebrate like we do." Giant firecrackers wre made missiles to hurl into the crowded streets where for two nights the population of Tours, around 100,000, congregated in one compact and jamming mass. There was no way of escape from the exploding toys of war. In cafes they were tossed from table to table, upsetting champagne glasses and lighting to explode on the tops of women's hats. Friday, the 13th, Lucky Either Major Lambert is not superstitious or as with President Wilson the hoodoo doesn't do, for the Iowa man left the United States on Friday, the thirteenth for France, and on Friday, the thirteenth he left France for America. It's a rare year that contains two Fridays that fall on the thirteenth. When Major Lambert sailed for France, he was a passenger on the George Washington, the presidential ship, and even occupied the imperial suite which was the president's on the peace conference voyage. It was the same day that Mr. Wilson was to land in Brest and Major Lambert sailed from there, so that the best docking place might be left for the president's ship. Major Lambert expects his discharge soon. Until he entered the service he was a professor of structural engineering, and he will return to that work immediately upon his discharge. A "SMALL" FORTUNE DOWN AT HOSPITAL Five Thousand Dollars So Small You Can't See It-Wouldn't Let You Anyway Five thousand dollars in its smallest form can be seen, were it not almost too minute to be visible, at the University hospital, where the largest quantity of this precious material is used of any place in the state. For a recent shipment of radium that neat little sum was expended and Dr. Bunday Allen, University roentgenologist or X-ray expert, has only this infinitesimal substance in exchange. It is used for the treatment of cancers and other malignant growths. Such a precious parcel as radium salt comes well wrapped. A tiny metal tube lined with lead envelopes it. Inside the outer tube is a brass screen. Within the brass screen is a small silver tube. Empty the silver tube and a glass one apears containing the radium in the form of a sulphate, a powder on a platinum wire. The radium salt is white with a slightly brownish tinge. One milligram is one-thousandth of a gram. The University purchased fifty milligrams in the last order, amounting to $4,998. In discussing radium and its sources Dr. Allen declares that all radium made in the United States is obtained from camotite ore from which radium is extracted. From 400 to 800 tons of ore are required to make a single gram of radium. CAPT. ROLLER GETS DISCHARGE Capt. Michael Dean Roller, who was graduated from the college of liberal arts in 1912 and from law in 1914, has received honorable discharge from the army and is resuming his work in the law office of Havner, Roller and Hatter at Marengo. GLEASON IS INJURED R. E. Gleason, instructor in the mathematics department, was seriously injured by a fall on the icy sidewalk as he was making his way past St. Mary's church last Friday evening. Mr. Gleason's leg is broken and he is now in the University hospital. DR. TITZELL TO LEAVE Dr. F. C. Titzell of the University homeopathic hospital has accepted a position as head of the city hospital at Harvery, N. Dak., and has left for that place. His family will remain here throughout the school year. New Party Dresses Faultlessly Made Party Dresses, Wedding Gowns and Dancing Frocks Simple refinement and graceful lines mark this beautiful collection of dainty dresses as being unusually distinctive and pretty. Yetter's frocks are the secret of hundred of cleverly dressed women at whom we look with admiration, and wonder where they ever found anything so pretty and graceful.
