Furthermore the questionof expense is one which many stu¬dents are forced to consider, and inprohibiting a useless custom we feelthat we are giving some an appor-tunity to attend who might other¬wise be unable to do so.”Frank Linden, commenting on thedecision of the leaders stated that theruling will be vigorously enforced bythose at the door on the night of theprom. “We want it understood thatour decision is meant for enforcementand is not an official pronunciationwhich can be easily violated. Anyonewearing flowers will be denied admit¬tance to the prom.” ARTISTS STARTWORK ON 1923FRIAR SCENERYPosters Judged on Feb. 28;Scenery Sets DueMar. 6LINDEN DESCRIBES SETTINGSMiniature scenery sets constructedin competition for the 1923 Blackfriarproduction must be in the hands ofthe judges by Tuesday, Mar. 6, AbbotFrank Linden announced yesterday.The contest for poster artists closesFeb. 28.In order that the men interested insubmitting model sets for the playmay have a definite idea of what isdesired, Linden made the followingstatement concerning the two acts of“The Filming of Friars”:Describes First Scene“The first act takes place in alarge Hollywood motion picture studio.The winning set must produce an ef- CHOOSE USHERS FOR1923 FASHION REVIEWTwenty-Four Women Asked to MeetMary Hess TomorrowWith 150 entrants already regis¬tered and plans practically completed,the Fashion Show bids fair to be asgreat a success as its planners wouldhave it, according to Mary Hess whois in charge of the arrangements.Eight ushers for the audience, a pageto announce the participants, andtwelve women to assist with the gen¬eral plans guarantee a well organizedaffair.The ushers, Margaret Brew, EstherBarnard, Alice Howard, Alta Cundy,Josephine Bedford, Eleanor Rice,Eleanor Hughes, and Frederica Hunt;the page, Betty Bartholomew; andthe women to aid Mary Hess andJean Birkoff, who are Alpha Harper,Alma Cramer, Anne Protheroe, EllenLeCount, Charlotte Atkinson, EthelStrohmeier, Virginia Ault, Elizabeth,Wallace, Jr., Dorothy Husband, Clau¬dia Boynton, Peggy Holister, Julia ENDS CAREER ASNOTED SCIENTISTAT WILLIAMS BAYAstronomer Was Said to BeGreatest Visual Observerin the WorldHERE AS PROFESSOR IN 1895feet of spaciousness, both real and' , , , , , , ,„ , , . , „ o Rhodus, have been asked to see Maryactual, in addition to presenting a „ , , , . _ **■ W e» TAmnruAiif i •) m » <1 * 1 n4-JANUARY FINES FORLATE BOOKS IN E-llREACH 1500 MARKWith the thermometer well belowthe freezing point, and with ice cover¬ing the park lagoons and the Midwayvery few students are turning theirattention to summer sports.

A relative increasein assessments this quarter is evi¬denced in a comparative study ofthose of the three months of lastquarter. In October, 1,340 fines werepaid, November increased this numberby ten, and December saw 1,585 finesimposed.Such an increase is unusual in con¬sideration of the fact that the high¬est number of overdrawn books re¬sults from examination and term pa¬per periods.

JUDSON TORECEIVE HONOR INFINAL RECEPTION Williams Bay, Wis., Feb. 7 (specialto The Daily Maroon)—Prof. EdwardEmerson Barnard, one of the world’sgreatest astronomers, the greatestvisual observer, is dead.Prof. Barnard died at his home inWilliams Bay, Wis., last night at 8:30,after a month of suffering from achronic ailment. His death marks theend of what is considered as one ofthe most brilliant careers in the his¬tory of astronomy. His contributionto science is inestimable.He first became associated with theUniversity when in 1895, he becameprofessor of practical astronomy andastronomer in Yerkes observatory. In1906 he received the degree of L. L. D.from Queen’s University; in 1892 theLelande Gold Medal; the Argo GoldMedal in 1893; the Janssen GoldMedal in 1900. His career from 1890to the present date has been notablefor his many awards and honors fromforeign and American societies ofscience.Interested in YouthAs a very young man, Prof. Bar¬nard displayed an intense interest inastronomy. At this time he w'orked ina photographer’s shop, and studiedthe stars as an avocation. A prizewas offered for each new comet" dis¬covered; the prize was the award ofa prominent astronomical society inthe state of Tennessee. Young Bar¬nard, with his own small telescope,discovered twenty-three, and wasawarded $2,300, $100 for each comet.With the “prize” he built his home.Prof. Barnard was known by hisfriends as extremely thoughtful andconsiderate, displaying at all times aninterest in young men, and willing¬ness to talk for hours on his favoritesubject.The faculty community at WilliamsBay, Yerkes observatory, character¬izes him as the man who couldn’t sleepwhen the sky was clear.”INTRODUCE COUNCILNOMINEES AT TEASSUNDAY AFTERNOONAsk Fraternities and Clubs toPostpone Functions onFriday NightPresident Harry Pratt Judson willmake his final formal appearance be¬fore the student body, Friday, Feb.16, in a reception to be held from 7:46Cash receipts to date $250.80Operating ExpensesKenwood club hall $ 75.00Benson orchestra 65.00Advertising 8.00 j to 9:30 in Hutchinson hall, under theTickets—printing bill 4.751 auspices of the Undergraduate coun-Tips 5.001 cil, working with the Aides and Mar-Taxi fare 3.10 j shalls.

Briefly, it hopes “to pro¬mote excellence and thrift in schoolwork.” That sounds a bit too ideal¬istic and uninteresting, but investiga¬tion of the announcement shows thatthe route to these ends is indirect andvaried.A staff of trained newspaper menin eightyrtwo cities is co-operating;an exchange arrangement will bringto the editorial office the publicationsissued by nearly every school of everytype in the country; the paper sub¬scribes to newspapers which cover theactivities of large sections; nationaleducative societies are actively inter¬ested; and prizes will be offered forexceptionally live contributions.

Presi¬dent Harry rPatt Judson has reserveda box for the Saturday evening pro¬gram.Dean Percy Holmes Boynton, whois to have one of the leads in the play,yesterday gave out a statement as tothe nature of the piece. He said that“The Beaux’ Stratagem,” written byGeorge Farquhar and produced at theHaymarket just before his death in1707, combines two types of Englishcomedy. Fundamentally, Farquharbelongs to the later RestorationSchool of Dramatics, but influenced bythe general attitude toward the thea¬ter which succeeded Collier’s “ShortView of the Stage,” he added to thiscomedy certain sentimental touches,lessened the profaneness and licen¬tiousness of the characters, and theimpropriety of the situations. “TheBeaux’ Stratagem” suggests Steele aswell as Congreve.It became one of the most popularcomedies of the period and was re¬vived as late as 1879; Cenest liststwenty-eight revivals before 1828. Anamateur performance at Williams¬burg, Virginia, was probably its firstAmerican production. Very popularin America during the second half ofthe eighteenth century, it was seldomperformed after the beginning of thenineteenth.The scenes were represented on thestage by a back drop and wings;there were no continuous side walls,and no ceilings. Contemporary cos¬tumes were used for its first produc¬tions, but when it was produced laterin the century, both in England andin America, no attempt was made tocostume it as it originally was, hutthe costumes of the day were used.Its coming reproduction in Mandelby an all-star alumni cast Friday andSaturday nights marks a most inter¬esting “revival."Ask Return of Drama TicketsAll persons who sold Dramatic As¬sociation membership tickets havebeen asked to turn in the money andunsold tickets to their chairmen, whoare to hand them in to Edna Kiembefore noon on Friday. INDIAN FEAR RIGHT?‘MAYBE' SAYS LOCALFOOD INVESTIGATORFinds Botulism Spores Presentin Soil of FatalRanchDid the Indian some years agosolve a problem that today bafflesmodern medical science?Experiments and research workcarried on at the University by Dr.J. C. Geiger, epidemiologist of theUnited States Public Health Service,in connection with four outbreaks ofbotulinus poisoning on a ranch inOkanogan, Wash., indicate that anold Indian superstition that deathlurked within the bounds of the ranchis not entirely without foundation.Health Officer Sent to RanchAfter determining the cause of twooutbreakers of botulism, a form offood poisoning, which completelywiped out all persons on the ranch,at the suggestion of Dr. Geiger, apublic health service officer was sentout to investigate the cause of thedisease at first hand. While eatingon the ranch, the health officer no¬ticed the peculiar odor of some homecanned com that was served. Hesent samples of the food to the Uni¬versity where Dr. Geiger proved thatit contained botulinus poisoning,type A.Type A is the only form in whichthe disease has appeared in theUnited States; but when soil speci¬mens were sent to the Universitybacteriological laboratories, theyproved to harbor the botulinus spore,type B.“This,” Dr. Geiger said, “turnsprevious theories of the disease up^side down. All food brought intocontact with the soil which is con¬taminated with type B, containstype A.”Indians Shun RanchIndians, it is claimed, avoid work¬ing on or near the ranch which foryears past has claimed many of theirnumber. It is now thought that thissame disease was present in the soilat the time that the redskins werecultivating it; the advent of the whiteman has resulted in further loss oflife. Experience warned he Indianto leave the locality on penalty ofdeath poisoning; he left. Science to¬day bears the same message to thewhite man; but he persists, “and,”says Dr. Geiger, “he can do so suc¬cessfully if he takes all precautionsagainst food spoilage. In every casethat we know of, poisoning was dueto improperly home canned foods.”FRESHMAN WOMEN’S CLUBMEETS TODAY AT 3:30The Freshman Women’s club willmeet today at 3:30 in the north recep¬tion hall of Ida Noyes hall.

Although theMaroon quintet gave the Hawkeyedribblers quite a scare in the gameSaturday, leading them by a score of11-4 at the end of the first half, thewesterners rallied in the secondperiod and dragged the game out ofthe fire. Moulding a strong offensearound Laude, star running guard,they showed their true power in theclosing period, a power which in combination with their favorable sched¬ule should pull them through with aclean slate.Badger Record Also CleanThe Badger record is clean withfour victories. With Williams andTebell, star guards, the Wisconsinquintet is on a par with Iowa, andsince the two schools do not meet,there is every indication that they willfinish neck and neck. The Cardinalcage men, however, have a stiff serieswith the strong Michigan teamscheduled for the near future and theWolverines may upset their hopes.Michigan holds third place withfour wins and one defeat by Iowa.Miller and Hagerty are the outstand¬ing stars on the Wolverine team andtheir work has done much to pull thesquad through the first crucial gamesof the season. Illinois also has astrong team and has fourth place.Boilermaker Team WeakPurdue, contrary to optimistic pre¬dictions, has not come through thisyear. The Boilermaker team is greenand will probably finish even. ThePurple squad, good at times and poorat others, will probably finish on apar with Purdue. Indiana is alsoweak this year. The Buckeyes andthe green Minnesota team are at thebottom of the chart at present and byall indications will retain this posi¬tion at the end of the season.PUBLICSALESWe have purchased 122,000 pair U.

The game is the first of thetwo game series to be played betweenthe squads, and the traditional rivalryof the teams indicates a tightstruggle.The Maroons showed by far the bestform of the season against the Hawk-eyes, and strengthened by the fightthat is certain to be apparent in to¬night’s tilt, should be the equal ifnot superior to the Illini. The Indianshave had an in and out season, butat no time have risen to the heightsof a title contender.Maroons Arrive With RushCoach Norgren’s pi'oteges haverounded out with a rush, and a fairlypowerful machine has been formedfrom the green material that re¬ported last fall. The men have takenup the short passing game, and insertenough individual play to keep theopponents guessing.The Varsity lineup will remain in¬tact, Dickson and Barnes gracing theforwards, Captain Yardley at center,and Weiss and Duggan at guards.These players are all in the best ofcondition and are anxious to takeanother fall out of the downstaters.Illini In and OutersThe Illini are at present in a higherposition in the Big Ten than are theMaroons, but their schedule has so farincluded only the weaker aggrega¬tions. With a record of three vic¬tories and two defeats they havemanaged to keep a slim hold on fourthposition. A victory for the Varsitywill push them up three places andwill drag the Illini down.The downstater’s lineup includes:Captain Hellstrom and Potter, for¬wards; Roettger, center; and Lipe andPopken, guards. Stillwell, center onlast season’s five, has been kept inreserve.Minnesota Squad WeakThe Maroons return to meet Min¬nesota Friday night in Bartlett, ina game that should be chalked up asa win for the Varsity.
