JOHN W. TWENTE
Emporia State Honors Twente
Dr. John W. Twente, professor of education and dean of the School of Education from 1942 until 1946, was one of seven educators selected yesterday to receive Kansas Master Teacher awards at Emporia State Teachers college in recognition of their years of service.
Dr. John E. King, president of Emporia State Teachers college, in making the awards, said, "We do not say [these are necessarily the best teachers in the state of Kansas], but they represent the finest in devotion to their profession and the ideals of education, and we are very proud of them."
The seven were chosen from a list of 77 candidates nominated by individuals or local teacher associations. Each received a wrist watch on which was engraved the name of the school, the year, and "Kansas Master Teacher."
Selected along with Dr. Twente were Miss Redicia Engholm, a Topeka elementary school teacher; Mrs. Eda Galloday, Fort Scott, superintendent of Bourbon county schools; Miss Gaye Iden, science teacher at Arkansas City High school and Junior college; Miss Gussie Mootz, principal of Lincoln elementary school in Dodge City, and Miss Elsie Olson, business teacher at Marysville High school.
Dr. Twente has been a professor at the University since 1925 and was dean of the School of Education from 1942 to 1946. He received his master's degree in education from Kansas in 1916 and began his teaching career in 1910 in the Warrenton, Mo., High school. He received his bachelor of arts degree from Central Wesleyan college in Warrenton in 1910 and received his doctor of philosophy degree from Teachers college, Columbia university, in 1923.
After being principal of the Warrenton High school and as superintendent of schools at Baxter Springs, Jan. Dr. Twente entered World War I as a medical sergeant with the Army.
After his discharge from the service he was head of the education and psychology department at New Hampshire university, and taught at George Peabody College for Teachers at Nashville, Tenn.
The speaker at the all-school convoction held in conjunction with yesterday's activities at Emporia was Dr. Edwin J. Brown, formerly a Kansas teacher and now professor of education and head of the education department at Santa Clara university.
An Illinois congressman was the youngest American soldier at the siege of Santiago in the Spanish-American war. He is Chicago Democrat Barratt O'Hara, who enlisted in the infantry when he was 15.

Weather-Snow, Dust, Heat
By UNITED PRESS
A strange combination of dust storms, 90-degree temperatures and almost a half foot of snow belted the nation's West today.
High winds over Oklahoma and Texas spawned at least one tornado and then swept northward through the Great Plains. Strong gusty winds also helped led for western Kansas, western Nebraska and northern New Mexico.
The winds, heat, and dust were a sequel to a night of wild weather in Oklahoma and Texas.
A tornado raced through a farm community near Shawnee, Okla. blowing down several frame buildings. At least three other twister funnels were sighted in the state.
But cool Pacific air was spilling over the Continental Divide, dumping temperatures 30 degrees into the 20's in Nevada and piling up five inches of snow at Salt Lake City.
Temperatures meanwhile soared in Mexico and in the Oklahoma City region.
At the same time strong winds tore up trees in Anadarko, Okla.
and swirling dust blotted out the stars at Enid, Okla.
Tornado warnings were lifted for parts of Texas and Oklahoma early today, but not until violent hail storms had battered some areas. Halstones the size of chicken eggs damaged cars at Cordell Oklaw, and houses which included Winicha Falls, Tex., were the size of lemons.
The crop-ripping winds provided a graphic demonstration of the Southwest's troubles for Agriculture Secretary Ezra Benson and an International Arid Lands conference.
Benson toured the wind-raked area yesterday, seeking answers to the problems of wind and erosion. In Colorado he ordered his bus to stop and walked out to feel the soil in a field. The top two inches were pure dust.
The conference picked a good spot for its meeting-Albuquerque, in the heart of wind-scarred northern New Mexico. Six hundred delegates from all over the world are attending.
Elsewhere in the nation, fair skies predominated in most regions.
However, light rains spattered the East from New England into Virginia, showers and thunderstorms continued in the Oklahoma-Arkansas region, and there were showers and snow flurries over the northern Rockies as far south as northern Colorado.
Four to Attend Pre-School Parley
Four staff members of the department of home economics will attend the annual meeting of the Kansas Pre-School association Friday and Saturday in Kansas City.
They are Nell Middleton, instructor; Mrs. Alice Penny, assistant instructor; Mrs. Jerre Cotter, assistant teacher at the University nursery school, and Mrs. Luella Foster, assistant professor.
Mrs. Foster will speak on "Look for Likeness" at the dinner Friday, and Mrs. Penny and Mrs. Maxine Allen, a former nursery school staff member, will present a discussion demonstration, "Sciences for Pre-School Children."
Magazine Picks KU as Setting
Mademoiselle magazine has chosen the University of Kansas as the background campus for the editor's graphicographs of its August college issue.
Miss Harriet Cain, associate fashion editor, and George Berkentin, photographer, will audition prospective student models between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas room of the Student Union. No appointments are necessary.
According to Miss Martha Peterson, dean of women, the women must be between 5 feet, 5 inches and five feet, 8 inches in height, and slender. The men must be "representative of college men," Miss Peterson said.
The students chosen will model fall fashions sent in from New York. Miss Cain and Mr. Barkentin will be in Lawrence a week taking the pictures.
The equatorial circumference of the earth is 24,902.39 miles.

A WHOLE CABOODLE OF LUCKY DROODLES!
---
A WONDERFUL SLANT on smoking! You'll find it in the Droodle above, titled: Tourist enjoying better-tasting Lucky Strike while leaning against tower of Pisa. If your own inclination is toward better taste, join the many college smokers who prefer Luckies. From any angle, Luckies taste better. They taste better, first of all, because Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then that tobacco is toasted to taste better. "It's Toasted"—the famous Lucky Strike process—tones up Luckies' light, good-tasting tobacco to make it taste even better. Little wonder that Luckies tower above all other brands in college popularity!
