RAILWAY INAUGURATES NEW , TRAIN CALL SERVICE A Founders Day program on Tuesday, March 2, marked the sixty-ninth birthday observance of the University of Illinois, commemorating the opening of the institution with a handful of students and three instructors. At 9:30 o'clock Tuesday night oyerv station WENR the University of Illinois concert band of 100 pieces opened the Founders Day program, with two other school bands joining in the ftnale, ^swelling it to 327 members. The program started at 8 p. m. at the university, although the official broad-, casting time was later. Addresses were also given by Dr. A. C. Willard, president of the University; Karl Ekblaw, president of the Alumni association; Coach Robert Zuppke and Jack Powers, thief engineer for the Illinois plan of co-ordination. It v*as estimated that 100,000 alumni heard the program, in which the men's glee club also took cart, singing "Illinois Loyalty," the; umvefsity song. ' V Local Boys In Band ,» Many in McHenr/ were interested listeners to the program, knowing that two local young men, Guy Duker and George Johnson, students, at theJLLnk. versity, were taking part in it. Guy Duker, who is majoring in» music at Champaign, plays trombone in the concert band, which is considered one of the best university bands in £he world. It is composed of 100 pieces, puy is also a member of the men'5 glee club and assisted in the broadcast Tuesday night. In addition to the concert band there are other bands at the university, including the First Regiment and Second Regiment bands.

Kraemer* Supt. of the Galena Division. In brief, the service provides the opporunity for people,.,who must catch an early morning/train, to telephone the station agent the night i previous and then received call the next morning an hour or more, or less before the train arrives. | "The plan has worked out excellently," said Mr. Kraemer. Nationality and Race The word "nationality" is of somewhat indefinite use. Sometimes it is used as synonymous with race, sometimes with origin and sometimes with citizenship. The usual legal meaning is that of citizenship, but in popular usage it connotes race. A person born in Germany and naturalized here is spoken of as being of American nationality if some question arises as to his status, though he may be racially a Caucasic or Ethiopic. v ularly so, when a train, coming all the way from the Pacific coast, happent to run late, due to extreme winter weather conditions.

By our Traditional Belief It is .the Jewish traditional belief that on Rosh Hashanah, Jewish New Year, God inscribes the names of his believers in the Book of . Life, and on Yom Kippur, which follows a ten-day period, known as "Teshuva," seals the names of all those judged worthy. YorA Kippur is the day for the searching of the heart to find peace with God.

The station agent is provided with a blank form on which he enters the name of the prospective passenger when, hie ^calls the night before. He also enters the time of the train and the time the passenger wants to be called. Some want more time than others. Then at the required time next morning the agent calls the passengers.

Vegard of the University of Oslo told the physicists as the result of new experiments. Prominent red lines in the auroral spectrum are enhanced when the atmosphere producing the aurora is sunlit. One type of red aurora is explained by the presence of ozone, the "concentration of which is greatest on the day-side of the earth. greater part of which was sold and the money put into bonds.
