Pity The Woman Driver
Chicago—(UP)—Inflation has hit municipal traffic court fines. Drivers now pay $2 to $10 for a parking ticket which used to cost $1. Speeding offenders pay $10 for their first and second offenses. They used to pay $3.
Fort Worth, Texas—(UP)—Most people end up wearing glasses because their eyes are best suited to a cave man's way of life and they don't live like cave men. a St. Louis ontometrist claims.
Today's 'New Look,' Either
Dr. A. M. Sheffington, of the Graduate Clinic Foundation for Research Optometry, goes back to prehistoric man to explain why spectacles adorn so many noses.
"Frehistorie man was a hunter and he developed outdoor distance-seeing skills," Dr. Skefington tok a meeting of western optometrists here. "In those days, poor outdoor vision meant death."
So the cave man developed eyes that could see sharply at great distances, picking out saber-toothed tigers, etc., on the landscape.
Come civilization, and man moved indoors. Instead of sighting down his spear to kill his evening meal, he used a knife and saw a set of figures under a 60-watt bulb.
"During the last few generations
we have moved our outdoor visual skills indoors, and required them to ficial environment for long hours function at arm's length in an artie every day," Dr. Skiftington said.
Texas cowboys are a good example, he said. You seldom see a cowboy wearing glasses. That's because he uses his eyes cave man style. Soon as he forsakes the range and starts doing close work, it is likely he will have to wear glasses, too.
Stay In Bed And Drink Fruit Juices Is Best Cold Treatment, Iowa Doctor Says
Optometrists at the convention nodded their bespectacled heads in agreement.
Des Moines, Ia.—(UP)—When you have sniffles, don't plan on getting over them for at least a week.
That's the advice of Dr. H. E. Ransom, director of the city health department.
"Instead of just lasting three days as colds do in the average year, the '1948 cold is lasting at least a week." $ \textcircled{4} $
"instead of just listing"
1948 cold is lasting at least a week.
has Robert I. Parker, medical director of the board of education,
agreed.
Dr. Ransom said the difference in this year's cold crop is that victims have been suffering from severe sore throats, aches and pains of the body, and in some cases, fever.
The cold is hanging on longer this year because of the "severity" of the virus infection, he explained.
Virus Blamed
Dr. Ransom described the virus as an "influenza virus" and added that the only difference between the common cold and influenza is the question of virulence.
He said there are two methods of attack of the present colds:
I. In the respiratory system.
2. In the gastro-intestinal system, which includes the gall bladder and
Dyche To Exhibit Chancellor's Horse
other intestinal organs.
Drs. Ransom and Parker listed five things for a person to do when he starts getting the sniffles:
Quiet Advised
The horse, whose scientific name is Mesohippus biardii, lived in North America about thirty million years ago. This particular specimen was collected by the chancellor in the oligocene beds located in the bad lands of South Dakota. It was unearthed in the summer of 1946.
Another specimen which will be exhibited is the skull and jaws of an animal called a giant pig. The scientific name is Archaeotherium mortoni. It was a plant-eating mammal which lived in North America about thirty million years ago. This specimen was collected in the oligocene beds of the bad lands in northeastern Colorado. The exhibit will be accompanied by photographs showing the work as it progressed.
1. Go into isolation immediately and stay there until all evidence of the infection has disappeared.
Professor Rodkey gained recognition as a member of the varsity track squad when he was a student of the University.
3. Don't allow any outsiders into the home.
The skull of a small, three toed horse, which was unearthed by Chancellor Deane W. Malott, is part of the special exhibit planned for March at Dyche museum.
5. Be sure and call the family physician if a fever develops and continues for more than 24 hours.
By letting a cold continue without taking care of it, a person is taking a chance of developing pneumonia, abscessed ears, kidney involvements, pleurisy and other complications, the doctor said.
4. Drink plenty of fruit juices and eat only light foods.
Fred S. Rodkey, '17, professor of history at the University of Illinois, visited friends at the University and in Lawrence Tuesday.
Another Group Opposes Language
Members of the Y.W.C.A. campus affairs committee expressed opposition to the foreign language requirement Wednesday.
The committee gave two reasons for their opposition:
1. A 12 hour requirement would overweight division 1, giving it 24 required hours as compared with only 20 hours required in other divisions.
Founder Of Local Sig Ep
2. Very few professors offer actual cultural background of the country with languages courses. Advocates of the requirements have chosen only isolated examples where the culture of the country is studied. It is not the general practice.
A Typewriter Which Prints
Typing that resembles professional printing can be produced by the new electric typewriter owned by the stenographic bureau.
Proportional spacing enables the operator to make both left and right margins even. With a basic 32 units to a horizontal inch, the machine takes a varying amount of units for each letter. For example, "m" requires 3 units of space, while "i" takes only one unit.
In addition to being adjusted for taking different amounts of space for letters, the electrical typewriter has two space bars. One space bar moves the carriage two units, and the second bar moves it three units.
Symbols on the keyboard which are not on a regular typewriter include the dagger, double dagger, equal sign, paragraph mark, and the exclamation mark which is on one key. Quotation marks may be made either spread or crowded, according to the stenographer's fancy.
Up And Coming
The parking committee asks students and faculty members to put the front of their cars in the stalls rather than back into the spaces. This makes it easier to check the permits.
Observe Parking Rules,
Committee Asks Students
Wayne Gugler, clerk of the parking committee, said today that students parking in zone "Q" are being tickets for parking on the wrong side of the street.
Miss Margaret J. Adams, manager of the Stenographic Bureau, stated that they received the machine about December 10, 1947. Making multilith plates to be used for large duplication jobs has been the chief use of the typewriter to date.
