The most modern planetarium in the world and described as "the first great theater of the skies in Amer- ica".will add to the other cultural Iandx’ks'of Chicago in 1930. Thit important link between the heavens and the earth will cost $500,000 and comes as a gift to the city from9ftiat Adler, one of its' merchant princes. The Chicago Association of Com- meree," congratulating Mr. Adler on his latest concrete evidence of civic responsibility, describes the new dra- matization of astronomy, made pos- sible thr'ough his gift, in the words: "Fifteen German cities now have planetaria, and Chicago will be the next great eenter to gaze into the starry 'universe beneath the' and,” of a. man-made sky and behold the whole» firmament blossoming: into sparkling grandeur, -with, planets, sun; moon and 4,500 star seuacting their orderly/parts producing a ma- jestie drama which reduces centuries and years to months, and days, and hourcto seconds.” _ .". . . _ I"' Behoot,-Theatre, Movie ' . .' .The new building 'will, im the words of Dr. Oskar von Miller, ereatbr of the famous Deutc'hes' museum ar.f Mu- nich, -tre'prtother "pehool" . a theater, a dinemk in one; a 1l'l'i'i'frtd( under the vault, of heav.en, i1 drama- with" the celestial, bodies as actors}? _ w The Adler' Planetarium, to be erect-l ‘ed near Michigan Boulevard shiraW prove "a worthy addition to the other civic institutions already in use or ‘being, rushed to completion in the Tllirrris metropolis.

A unique "and little-known college which- is doing uhusual work "in America.hizatiorr has been described by' Rébeeew N. Porter.. - Writer Describes “College N0- . body Knows"; Is Situ- ated in California _ . ' In her article, Which is entitled "The College Nobody 1fnows,'"Miss Porter tells how she came. upon the imititution by chance. Ituis Atterdag college, at Solvang, California, a DaniSh eoliony. She secured the tol- lowing new.” ' , . .‘ _ . .Solvang had been founded.in 1911 by a company_ of Danes: from the large- colony in Des V Moines, Iowa. They came out to southern;Califor- his to seek a location where they could carry out an educational ideal. Their first requirement was a coun- try that would lend itself to'the kind of agriculture which the Danes knew. They had become accustomed to the rich ctirn,lands of Iowa. The hilly toimgraphy of the California location didn't look like' Iowa, so. some of them turned back. The rest, a mere hand- ful, stayed and .began thebig-a'dven- ture. Smnll Beginning . A year after their arrival they had the' college running, with four teach- ers. A small box of a building it was at. first, T in the centre of the town. Then a minister from a church in Denmark came over and, using his 7;; PRESS own private capital,. augmented by trees var pn rocks until tlse.eeirttdsu private subscription, built and con-. composed.

It has been suggested by "It seemed to us that the best type of. American citizen must have something to give to the country as well as wanting to take something from it. We wanted our children to come bringing something. We did not want them to lose entirely the rich old culture of Denmark. So, for five Weeks of their summer vacation, they come here and sing the Danish 'songs and dance the Danish _fo1k- dances and read Danish stories. When they. go back to pubrurseltool, they know sHto_theyuare'and whence they came. They know that front those who arethe pisssessors of such a, heritage much will be expected. -Y-oi, do not Jind the Danes in your pen; tentiaries nor the children of sBanes, in your juvenile courts. _ Ithink one reason, for this is that the Jhutes, more than most other immigrants, keep alive initheir children the ideals of righteousness and industry in which they themselves were bred.

'Then there comes to us the newly arrived imniigrant.. He comes to be pre- pared for"Ameriean citizenship. In his, own language we teach him the history, the Constitution," the literat- ure of the country that he is going to .adcpt. Instead of struggling with these subjects in a language wholly unintelligible, he gets a 7 thorough grounding in the principles and ideals of citizenship in his, own:tongue. When he goes up for hip examination he knows what he is about. . _ Miss Peter quotes one of the teach- ers on" the dual educational ideal which had inspired the building .of Atterdag: _ . Funerary Urns of an . Ancient Peiiple Found; Ate in Field Museum A firte collection of funerary urns in which pri. ancient people 'who lived tn ncrthwestorn Argentina, bare ied some of their dead.‘ is on exhibi- tion pt Field Museum oCNatuial His- tory. -Little is known of these ireo- ple, who disappeared before the Span- ish invasion of South America. What" traces have been fcund indicate they achieved quifo a high state of civil: gation comparing favorably with the cultures oCthe Mayas, Aztecs and Toltocs, founders of the most noted aboriginal eivrliz:ttions in the west- ern hemisphere. Archaeologists have d'signated their. culture by the name Calehaqui, after the name .of thtrv0. Icy in which they flourished. '% The funerary urns are of pottery, skillfully and artistically made, and have well-conceived imaginative dé- signs and pictures painted upon them. It is believed that before bury- ing the dead m these urns. the bodies were ftryt exposed in branches of Archaeologists have culture by the name the name .of thervttr. y flourished. _ LA3 a rule adults were interred in this ground or; in caves, and the urns: were used principally for children. 'Whole cemeteg‘ies have been discov- ered containing the remains of chil- dren only. It. has. beep suggested by investigators that these children may have been aaerificed to the gods”. of rain and fertility. _ "r On many of the urns tears are depicted as falling trom the eyes of the figures .painted on them, exem- plifying what is known as gympathé- tie magic. That is, in the Calchaqui belief, if. people could be persuaded to weep, or iCa face was painted with" streaming tears, then. on the principle of like' producing like, the fertility gods would also weep, and their tears in the form of rain would descend upon "the earth and stimul- ate crops. _ Lake County Builder's Elect 0ffi,cersi; Local ---Man IirNiiasPretri The 'Assodiated Builders of Lake county held their annual election of officers recently in the association rooms,_at 28 North Genesée street; Waukegah, and the fdlwwing officers. were elected for the year: _ President-Wm.
