Instead more modern buildings, they will be taken into the laboratories and shops where arrangements have been made to have the most interesting work on display.

The work of the drug laboratory recently has been largely on the line of standards which are to govern the analysis of medicinal agents, and much the work during the summer and early autumn is required in character—a work which requires more time and expert service than that of analysis of drug products.
He was a student in Economies. A least he had attended a class in Economics, and spent the last 50 minutes answering a question on "interest" which he was making interesting, and he was to conquer a great problem in that political science.

He remembered that one of Owen Johnson's culture giving questions. His professor had made it question number 13 and had demanded the correct answer.
He carefully spread out the sheet of clean, white paper. He collected his thoughts and notes on Strikes and Attribution. It was not a day to take him home. The window was open. The thermometer said that the tempature was 320 or

His actions soon caused the bug to wander, also his thoughts.

DYE CLOTHES WITH PENNY BLOCK CANDY
A Pound Will Color Enough Material For an Ordinary Dress
As a proof of this discovery they have dyed 1-4 yard of cloth a beautiful centre operated summing but one centre candy. At this rate but one of the candy could die four yards of cloth which is with a dress with a few ruffles thrown in.
Another use for candy has been found. Prof. H. Louis Jackson and Oscar E. Harder, of the department of food analysis, have found that ordinary "penny-a-black" candy, which is for sale at practically every store which handles sweetmeats at all, makes excellent cloth dye.
Another thing which seemed strange to the reporter for the Daily Kansan was the licorice candy which has been analyzed lately. He ate some of it and admitted that he did not know what it tasted like.
Mr. Harder then said that the candy contained 1 1-2 per cent of lamp black which gave it is glossy black color, and that gelatin made up the body of it and that anise seed gave it its peculiar twang.
After trying some real licorice the reporter was willing to trust the remainder of the analysis to his sense of humor. But after information that the first sample contained no licorice at all, or at least not enough to warrant its being licensed, he Harder, however, was not ready to admit that the reporter was right.

MOTOR-BOATING IS AN IDEAL SUMMER SPORT
Dean Templin says that it is a good Way to Get Close to Nature.
"My advice to anyone wishing a good diversion for the summer time," said Olin Templin, Dean of the College, this morning, "I would be to buy a means of communication, however, your legs are much more reliable.
"I am the possessor of a steel motor boat eighteen feet long, capable of carrying eight passenger ships or power marine engine. I get a great deal of pleasure from my job, because it is a quick way to lay out my own rear dinary run of life and get close to nature.
"Motor-boating is not so expensive as automobiling and is a more complete change from our daily habits. There are two systems on the river last summer but I was the only member of the faculty who had one."

Class Also Passed Resolution Com-mending Editor and Business Manager for Their Work
At the meeting of the senior class held in chapel Monday noon, between sixty-five and seventy-five students voted that the class should make an assessment of $1.50 against the numbers of the class, the money to be used in making up the deficit found in the funds of the Jayhawk management. The collection of this assignment was made on behalf of an annual board along with the fifty cents assessment made to provide funds for the class day entertainment.
A resolution was also passed upon the initiation of ira Snyder, Edmund Rhodes, Arch MacKinnon, and Beulah Murphy, commending the editor and their work and efforts in giving the class the annual they published.
However, it was anticipated that few of the members of the class will refuse to aid the Jayhawker. Several members of the class paid their assessment Monday afternoon and littered the table is anticipated in making the collection. A lot of who have not paid by Tuesday, June will be made for submission to the Regents by the committee appointed.
PERSONAL CANYASS WILL
BE MADE IN COLLECTING
The general sentiment expressed in the meeting of the seniors was the classman should pay the assessment withholding, indeficent in the Jayhawk funds, but did not rest in the minds of some of those present as to whether or not all the members of the class would be willful and unjustified. The last was then entertained providing for a committee to wait upon the Chancellor and Board of Regents at the meeting on Friday, June 4, that should attempt to rectify the problems of the Regents to have the diplomas of those who do not pay the amount of the assessment withheld until the final meeting. The members of this committee are: I. Robert Burton Scharsd and Edmund Rhodes.
Following the action of the senior class in placing the power for collecting the assessment in the hands of the annual board, the members of the board held a meeting in Fraser hall to discuss methods of interviewing the members of the class personally and making complete collections.
the membership of the class was divided into lists and each member of the class was assigned a certain number of seniors to interview for their assessment.

BEWARE THE CONSUMPTION OF BREAD WITHOUT WATER
Have you been faithfully obeying Dr. Day's mandate, issued a few weeks ago, to drink a glass of water (boiled) with every piece of candy? I don't mind, but I'm not a candy since then. Couldn't afford—or that is, don't care for sweets?
Well, don't flatter yourself that you are perfectly safe. Far from it. Dangers beset you on every side. One of them is that the batter must be McColmium, of Madison, Wisconsin, has written to add another note of warning to the hungry student. Mrs. McColmium's theory is that bread, as we know it, must be irrigated. She cites learning to prove that the carbohydrates in bread are rapidly converted into sugar, in the mouth and the first part of the stomach. With every slice of bread, you are in a nice luscious chocolate-drop. Hence, irrigation is as necessary for
It was bad enough to be denied the pleasure of eating a box of chocolatecreams in one evening, but when somebody attacks the staff of life, it under you. So Dr. Day was appealed to by a chocolate-hungry student.
"The theory is incorrect," said Dr. Day. "Twice the weight of bread must be eaten to produce the quantity of sugar needed in a piece of candy. Furthermore, when bread, we always eat with it some foods which contain a great deal of water, such as potatoes, in addition to liquids usually consumed at a meal."
Mrs. McCollium was Miss Constance Carruth, K. U. '05. Her home is now in Madison, Wisconsin, where her husband, Mr. E. V. McCollium is Physiological Chemist at the State Agricultural College.
