GUNS ARE AIMED on the stretch of ground that separates the Jewish city of Tel Aviv and the Arab city of Jaffa in Palestine, as Jewish police and members of Haganah, the Jewish underground army, hold sand-bagged posts to cover the border line "no-man's land."

Parcels Are Posted At KU Sub-Station
"Hey, taking a trip?"
Very few students every carry their bulky laundry bags across campus without hearing that remark at least once. The "suitcase"-armed students are going some place. Their destination is the University post office in the basement of Frank Strong hall.
Laundry bag carriers aren't alone in their trek, for during 1947 approximately 90,000,000 parcels were dispatched through the two post office windows.
The station is run by R. C. Abraham, superintendent, and B. E. McKee. Both men are graduates of the University.
"The post office has speeded up its work 50 percent and eliminated the greatest source of error" by the recent installation of a Pitney-Bowes Meter machine, Mr. McKee said. This machine works similarly to a cash register, except instead of money it spits moist stamps of any desired amount. The machine is credited by the Lawrence post office for a certain amount of stamps. When this amount is sold the money is turned in to the down town office and more credit is received.
The beaver constantly wears away his sharp front cutting teeth as he gnaws down small trees, but he never needs new ones. The teeth keep growing as long as the animal lives.
Through the K. U. sub-station passes enough revenue to merit it being grouped as a first class post office, which proves that students are very interested in maintaining a link with the "outside" world.

"QUIZ-FOR-CASH" At Local Theatres
Many K. U. students have competed for the cash awards given for correct answers on the "Quiz-for-Cash" show presented on the stage every Monday night at three of the local theatres, the Jayhawker, Granada, and Pattee. $5.00 in cash is paid to the first of three contestants; one on the stage at each theatre--who answers the question correctly within the time given. Five regular questions are asked on each program of five separate contestants at each theatre. The climax of the show is a Jack-Pot question which pays an increased amount each week. Tonight the Jack-Pot award will be $8.50 to $110.00 and will be paid to any contestant at any of the three theatres who can give the correct answer to the Jack-Pot question. In case of a tie the award will be divided equally among the tying contestants. Be sure to register to participate in the "Quiz-for-Cash" program when you attend any of these theatres on Monday night.
Send in your pet questions. If they are used as a regular $5 question in the game you will receive $2 for your question. If used as a Jack-Pot question you will receive $5. Questions can be sent to any theatre.— Adv.

New York—(UP)—The Rev. Samuel M. Shoemaker said in a sermon at the Calvary Protestant Episcopal church that the new-style long skirts were a sinful waste.
Here's A New Angle To The New Look
"Christian women," he said, "ought to resist this miserable selfish modern style of dress as true sin—to what purpose these full, flapping, flowing garments now down to their ankles when recently they were up to their knees, because some designer in Paris cracks the whip, when all over the world there are thousands who need that cloth, not to make them more alluring, but to keep them warm?"
Mormans in the state of Utah were the first Anglo-Saxons to practice irrigation on a large scale.
