Thick, dark eyebrows add interest and expression to most faces, but bushy sprouts are a trial. To tame them add a touch of hair cream and brush them into smooth shape.

The anistocrats of the animal kingdom are the mascots of schools and universities throughout the country. They live off the fat of the campus, for they are fed the best food, clothed in royal attire, and are scrubbed, shaved, and shampooed at least once a week.
In 1890, officers on their way to the Yale-Navy football game decided to take a mascot. The first likely candidate was a goat, so off to the game went Billy, clad in a blue vest. Today Billy the eighth reigns over the team.

Many schools pledge allegiance to the mule. But the mule of mules belongs to the Army. He has been showing up at football games since Teddy Roosevelt's roughriders stopped riding. With his brass-studded bridle and black and gold blanket he is the best looking mule in the business. An Army cheer-leader usually rides him around the gridiron before the game.
In 1904, while staging a musical comedy at Fordham, a student used the word ram to rhyme with Fordham. Since then the ram has been the school mascot. Before a game with New York university Fordham has to call the militia to protect its ram because NYU usually kidnaps the beast. A few years ago the ram was stolen a week before the game. Fordham actually organized a posse to search for it. Imagine the school's horror when the ram turned up the day of the game painted purple, New York's color.
U.S. School Mascots Are Animal Aristocrats
Another famous mascot is Handsome Dan, Yale's bulldog. He was first owned by a student who took his pet to all the games. When Dan died he was mounted in a glass case and put in a trophy room. After this the bulldog became a tradition. The present dog, Handsome Dan the fourth, lives in a doghouse big enough to take in boarders.
Such schools as Princeton, Pittsburgh university, and Columbia have panthers, tigers, and lions. But the day of the game a student usually dresses in costume to represent the animal. If the real MacCov were there no one would come to the game.
In 1886 the word Jayhawk was used for a yell. It originally was used in Texas to mean bushwacker or despoiler. A KU professor decided that it should be a school yell. Thus the famous "rock chalk" was born. Many connecting jay and hawk thought it was a bird.
Dreamy Dresses, Tailored Coats Designed and Made by Students
Miss Dilab plans to do most of her work on weekends to leave plenty of time to study for 15 hours of classwork.
Speak French Easy to Learn
Like to take a mid-semester vacation in France, n'est pas?
"The business idea is still somewhat in the nebulous space." Miss Dlabal said. "I hadn't really thought much about doing clothes for commercial purposes until some of the girls here at the house suggested it. They have offered themselves as non-professional models for my clothes. The clothes I create for them will advertise my business."

If so, a few elementary language lessons are in order. There are only a few words you need to know to get along perfectly well in any French-speaking country, such as France, or well France.
If n'existe pas, means "it doesn't exist." This is what the patron will say when you ask for hot water for a bath.
Remember that dress you always dreamed of buying and never could find on your shopping excursions? A certain young woman enrolled at the University of Kansas may be ___ the one who can solve your problem.
She is Eloise Dlabal. fine art junior, who is starting a brand new dressmaking and designing business in the basement of her sorority house at 1528 Tennessee.
Miss Dlabal has designed and made her own clothes for several years. In the designers' language, she would be classed as a "home sewer," one of many women who find a release in creating from textiles rather than paint, stone, or wood.
This versatile young lady can handle anything from frothy party dresses to tailored suits and coats. Her own clothes testify to that. At present she is busy designing and sewing clothes for several of her sorority sisters, but hopes to interest other women students in her work.
