Statute Books Are Stranger Than Fiction -- Even in Washington
The District of Columbia, national legislative center, has a law forbidding kite-flying and many another strange statute.
Under the law, you can't tie a horse to a tree, and if you use French or Latin during a trial you have to pay your legal opponent $311.33.
The dusty code books do not explain how that figure was agreed upon. Neither do they explain another amount - $26.67, which if lost in a game of chance, entitles the loser to sue the winner.
The loser not only may sue for the $26.67 or more you can, if he's reasonably lucky collect three times the amount lost. Some gamblers think it's a fine law. So do district officials, for the city receives half the sum collected in such suits.
Sometimes the lawmakers apparently ignored old statutes when
drawing up new measures. A woman has to be 21 years old before signing a contract. Yet when she is the benificiary of a will she reaches her "full, mature or lawful age" at 18.
To win title to property by adverse possession, a Washingtonian, according to the law books, has to show tax receipts for 15 years—or sometimes for 20 years, depending on which part of the code he is governed by.
Although the district forbids kite-flying, dueling and certain other personal activities, the law permits concerts on the Capitol grounds by "any band in the service of the United States."
The law provides one exception: the band cannot play while Congress is in session. The music might disturb the legislators.
Former University Student Is Missing
Floyd E. Doubleday III, former student of the University, and son of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd E. Doubleday, former residents of Lawrence, is missing according to a report to Kansas City police.
Young Doubleday left the University in 1932 after completing two years of study and was considered a good student. He was a member of Beta Theta Pi, national social fraternity.

art. He took lessons from a Chinese artists in the traditional method of Chinese painting. He traveled in China, Japan, Bali, Indo-China, Siam, Burma, India, Egypt, and Greece, studying the art of the world.
In 1915 he won the Prix de Rome, painting fellowship at the American Academy of Rome; in 1926 he won the Norman Wait Harris Silver medal and $500 of the Chicago Art Institute; and in 1936 the Yetter Prize of the Denver Art Museum.
No women are not exactly like cats. A woman can't run up a telephone pole and a cat can't run up a bill.
So long folks come back again.

There was once a co-ed quite shy,
Who said to a student named Cy.
If you kiss me of course
You will have to use force
But thank heaven you're strange

Some girls can get as happy as a lark on a few swallows.
Esquire doubled the number of its subscribers, we hear, by advertising the sub title, "The Magazine for Men."
That probably made all the women crazy to see it.
