FIRST WHITE MEN TO CROSS TRAIL \ TWO  PLACES  ON

Mr. Collins Describes Travel  in

BOARD   OPEN
Business   Competition   Starts   To-day
GOT '500 SPECIMENS OF BIRDS
"We crossed the jungle on a trail never
before used by a white man", said Mr.
Alfred Collins, Saturday evening, in his
lecture "Across South America". Mr. Col-
lins was one of the commanders of the
Collins-Day South American Expedition
sent out by the Field Museum of Chicago
and the Museum of Natural History In
New York to collect specimens of game
and birds from the Andes and the jungle
of the upper Amazon. The chief naturalist
of the party was George K. Cherrie from
the Museum of Natural History in New
York who was a member of the Roosevelt
expedition. The 1500 specimens of bird*
went to New York, the mammals to Chi-
cago.
Mr. Collins began his lecture with a
contour map of South America and ex-
plained the net-work of tributaries to the
Amazon all across central Brazil and the
prevailing winds from the Atlantic bring-
ing moisture to the east slope of the
Andes. These conditions, he said, made
it very difficult to preserve photographs.
His are the only successful ones ever
brought out of that country and were
colored in Philadelphia under his personal
supervision.
Rare Game and Curious Boats
The expedition started from Mollendo,
Peru. Besides showing photographs of
the actual Journey, Mr. Collins gave pic-
tures of the llama, the common beast of
burden who refuses to carry more than
sixty pounds, the vicuna from whose coat
the popular vicuna wool is made, and the
very rare guanaco of which the only
mounted specimens are in the Field Mu-

PHILADELPHIA  ALUMNyE GIVE
CONCERT TO COLLEGE
The College News competition for two
| assistant business managers from 1919
opens to-day. Competitors should apply
to the Business Manager. V. Litchfleld '17,
at 38 Pembroke East. Office hours daily
except Sunday from 7.IS to 8 p. m. All
names must be handed in by 8 p. m. of
February 22nd. The competition will last
three weeks, the two winners becoming
members of the Board with a share In the
News profits and a chance of becoming
Business Manager in their Senior year.
The position of assistant business man-
ager on an amateur newspaper offers val-
uable business training in cataloguing,
accounting, getting ads, etc., and gives
an opportunity for the use of initiative
and common sense. Though the actual
job in this case Is purely business, the
manager sees both ends of the work and
knows the editorial side at least in
theory.
