Tuesday, February 18, 1919 The Daily Iowan State University of Iowa PAGE FIVE [advertisement] BENNISONS' CLOSING OUT Rebuilding Sale Begins To-morrow New Spring Goods Now In Are All Included Doors Open Promptly at 9 a. m. WHAT'S WHAT IN THE HOME TOWNS OF STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS It seems that the freshman trait of talking about home towns is not always confined to first year students for there are others in the University who consider their cities worthy of mention. For instance there's Manning. It has a claim to fame, according to Ruth Rogers. "It had the largest bended bar in the United States, and now we keep it as a relic since the state has gone dry," she says. Eileen Galvin comes from Anthon, the town where the tallest man in the United States lives. His name is Bernard Coyne, and at the age of 20 years he is eight feet tall. He grows three inches each year. Mildred Tummel, of State Center, boasts that her town is the geographical center of the great state of Iowa. Colfax students are justly proud of their town, because it is the home of James Norman Hall, the renowned aviator who recently made his escape from a German prison. Hall is also the author of one of the most popular of the recent war books, "Kitchener's Mob.' Colfax is noted for its mineral water, which is shipped all over the United States. Glidden, Iowa, has the distinction of being the home of Merle D. Hay, who was the first man under American command to make the "supreme sacrifice" over there. Decorah students highly praise their home town, which has the most artistic small park in the state. MacGregor is known to be the prettiest spot in Iowa. From the peak of their highest "mountain" the residents see, before them, three states, Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa. This town is called the Switzerland of America, and people from all over the state go there to see the scenery. "Newton is the washing machine center of the world," says the Commercial club of that city. Humboldt claims to be the cleanest town in Iowa, for it has no alleys. It is also the home of the noted wrestler, Frank Gotch. Ottumwa students say that their home town has the largest packing house in the state. Students from Fayette county, in the towns of Oelwein, Fayette, Elgin, West Union, and Clairmont claim that they have the best organized road system in the state, and are on the Northern Iowa pike. Waterloo people claim that their city is the "Factory city of Iowa," and that it does large jobbing and manufacturing business, producing quantities of farm machinery annually. While last but by no means least, the students of Muscatine boast that their home town is the home of the fresh water pearl button industry. MISS DODDER APPOINTED Miss Nellie Elizabeth Dodder will succeed Miss Iva Hayes as superintendent of the University homeopathic hospital and nurses' training school. Miss Hayes resigned recently. The new head is a graduate of the University homeopathic nurses' school in the class of 1914. For the last few years she has been chief of the Washington County hospital at Washington. Mabel Rupp of Cedar Rapids is the guest of Helen Williams at Currier hall. [advertisement] Have You Tried BANNER DAIRY LUCH for a meal?

Washington, Thursday evening. Epidemic conditions prevented a previous meeting. Only nine members are in school this quarter. Since I.W.A.A. has become the vogue, its results have paralleled those sought by the Trailers club. For this reason the Trailers have decided to take up Campfire work from the standpoint of the guardian, so that its members, on going out to teach, may be prepared to organize or take charge of Campfire chapters.

SCHMIDT, Prop. Under Jefferson Hotel MEN'S GLEE CLUB IS BUSY IN PRACTICE Only Seven of Last Year's Members Have Returned to the University Rehearsals of the Men's Glee club will be held tonight in preparation for the annual concert which will be given soon after spring vacation. Prof. W. E. Hays, who directs both the Men's and the Women's Glee clubs, says that the material in the club is exceptionally good this year, and expects that the concert will surpass those of the past. Only seven of last year's members, Thomas, Hays, Hoegh, Shaw, Cone, Hall and Maruth, have returned to the Glee club and practically all new men had to be selected. After the preliminary try-outs were held, the following men were chosen from one hundred candidates: First tenor:----Harold Thomas, Corning; Leslie Hays, Seymour; H. H. Matt, Iowa City; Wm. A. Bochoven, Cresco; John Hutchings, Des Moines; Calvin K. Katter, Forest City; Rodney F. Cobb, Davenport; C. R. Wright, Des Moines, and Arthur Rosenbaugh, Greenfield. Second tenor:----H. N. Hoegh, Clinton; C. H. Bliss, Iowa City; A. V. Eisenhart, Burlington; M. Kellam, Indianola; Harry M. McCullough, Davenport; L. W. Keith, Mount Pleasant; L. H. Burdick, Clinton, and Pearce E. Newport, Adair. First bass: ----E. E. Shaw, Indianola; Vernon Cone, Iowa City; Charles Maruth, Iowa City; L. Lally, Denison; P. W. Mutschman, Bellevue; Reuben Katter, Forest City; E. M. Eisfeld, Burlington; Harold Plotts, Des Moines; and Donald Nasby, Bode. Second bass:----E. B. Reed, Allerton; John T. Howard, Charles City; J. H. Shoemaker, Cedar Falls; Irving Boarts, Iowa City; Harry E. Schmidt, Burlington; F. B. Sharp, Elmore, Minn.; Cloyce Huston, Crawfordsville; William S. Kelly, Newton, and W. Earl Hall, Jefferson. WRITES OF EXPERIMENTS The February number of "The Historical Outlook" contains an article written by Miss Bessie L. Pierce, instructor of history in the University and the University high school, entitled "An Experiment in Individual Instruction in History." The article is based on experiments tried by Miss Pierce at the University high school. Ames men overseas are receiving the monthly alumni magazine, through the generosity of the alumni.
