He Draws Bones for a Living
***
JOHN CONRAD HANSEN
John Conrad Hansen, shown here, is a scientific artist from the Chicago Museum of Natural History who specializes in bones, is illustrating a scientific paper being written by Elmer Riggs, honorary curator of paleontology, in Dyche museum.
A part-time inventor, Hansen worked out a device enabling him to draw perfect projections of irregularly shaped bones. The device, which he used in his work here last summer, is so simple that he has never patented it.
For many years a lithographic designer and vignette engraver, Hansen turned to the field of scientific art six years ago.
turned to the field of scientific art by his work for the Haris extension of the Chicago museum consists of preparing dioramas for exhibit in the Chicago public school system.
Test Patient Finds Her P-38 Ride In Wing Tank Too Fast for Comfort
Riding in the wing tank of a P-38 is one way to get your kicks, but it's definitely not habit-forming.
If you have any doubts on that subject, just ask Miss Saralena Sherman, '43, now of Topeka. She's the first and probably the only woman to be a passenger in a P-38 wing tank. The first man was a Yank correspondent who was in the other wing tank of a Lockheed Lightning army fighter plane.
Miss Sherman describes the test flight as a lot of fun except for the speed—350 miles an hour was entirely too fast for her peace of mind. Her report to AAF planners said that carrying wounded in wing tanks was possible, but because of cramped conditions and the high speed other means of transportation would be better unless immediate treatment at a base hospital was necessary.
The fuel-tank ride was the idea of AAF strategists who had heard that Marines were carrying cases of beer from the rear echelon supply depots to the front in empty wing tanks. This was during the latter part of 1944 when P-38's were being replaced by newer fighters, so the AAF decided to find out if the tanks could be used to remove casualties from the fighting areas.
Miss Sherman was then working as a civilian in the public relations office for strategic air forces headquarters at Hickam Field, Hawaii.
Before a crowd of correspondents and brass-hats, she and the Yank writer crawled in to the two wing tanks which had been padded to give some semblance of comfort. An air hose and intercom phone connecting her with the other tank and the pilot enabled the three to talk over what was going on. By lying face down, she could see down through the plexiglass window cut in to the front of the tank, and while in this position she was held firmly in place by a parachute pack strapped to her back.
Several other correspondents tried the ride later; but Miss Sherman says quite a number of the writers and bass-hats replied with a hasty "no, thanks" when they were offered a free ride.
The wing-tank carry was used to some extent later, but Miss Sherman says she's dodging P-38's from now on. Just about an hour after she'd finished her part of the experiment, groundcrew men grounded the
plane, explained that the stabilizer was in bad condition and that everybody had been very lucky to have gone both up and down safely.
On the trip back her ship, the hospital ship Chateau Thierry, wallowed helplessly for a couple of days between Honolulu and the West Coast while engineers put some faulty engines back into running condition.
Before working for the AAF, Miss Sherman worked on the Topeka Daily Capital. She took the AAF job in the summer of 1944, went to Hawaii almost immediately and returned early this month.
Her future plans are indefinite right now. The only thing she's sure of is that P-38's and ships are not on her "must do" list.
Baldwin City—Baldwin is rejoicing at having butter on the menu again. Due to the illness of Niels Muller, butter maker at Baldwin Co-op Creamy, butter became a scarce commodity. Residents can once more buy butter at the local grocery now that Mr. Muller is back on the job.

Olathe May See Shades of the Wild, Wooly West
The Olathe chamber of commerce board of directors and committees are considering staging a real "true to the west" rodeo.
Pau Cain, owner and operator of the Circle O ranch, south of Stanley, has been conferring with local businessmen on making Olathe his opening rodeo of the season. A three-day rodeo with bucking broncos, brahma bull riding, calf roping, and other rodeo entertainment will compose the show.
Olathe—Olathe citizens would be much surprised if Olathe, after all these years, would become known as a typical western town. Such may be the case if plans now being considered to stage a rodeo here sometime in May materialize.
GI Students Can Still Use Their Heads
Rochester, N.Y. (UP) Don't sell the GI short on scholastic ability—even though he has been absent from the classroom for the last few years.
A survey conducted in the Men's College of the University of Rochester shows that the GFs, despite early misgivings in some educational circles over their ability to compete on equal terms with other students, are doing all right, in fact, the veterans are doing a better job in their studies than the non-veterans.
An analysis of mid-term grades at the Men's College shows that out of a significantly large group of 131 veterans covered in the survey only 3.8 are doing unsatisfactory work, which is less than the proportion for a normal entering class. Of the other 93.2 per cent, 11 veterans had "excellent" grades at mid-term, 33 "very good," 42 "good," and 36 "satisfactory."
By comparison, a representative group of non-vetans in the same mid-term marking period showed 13 per cent doing unsatisfactory work.
Veterans show up even better when compared with a typical prewar group. Grades for the class of 1943, recorded in June, 1940, showed 18.8 per cent doing unsatisfactory work.
Pink Hair Bows Adorn Baby Girls In Hospital Nursery
Round her neck she wears a yellow—
No, it's not yellow (as the song says) and it's not around her neck; it's a pink ribbon she wears in her hair—that is, if she is one of the inhabitants of the nursery floor 3C, of the University of Kansas hospital in Kansas City.
Not long ago all the baby girls there bloomed out in pink hair bows. Now, every little miss puts in appearance in the University hospital nursery wears one to be in style.
No matter whether she has enough hair to tie it to or not, she must keep in step with her halmates and don the bow, which is made of half-inch wide satin ribbon. Imagine how surprised the mother of a bald baby, or one with fuzz like that of a peach, must be when her daughter is presented to her for the first time — with a bow sticking on her head.
No, they don't puncture the baby's head to keep the decoration in place. The method is much more simple—a little collodion is applied to the head where the ribbon is to go, the ribbon is put in place, and it sticks.
The origin of the "bow style" is unknown, but the nurses think the idea is a good one. Since only the girls wear ribbons, nursery attendants can tell at a glance the sex of the babies even when they are across the room from the beds.
Learned—Henry Gilbert, proprietor of the Larned greenhouse is making the Pawnee valley famous for producing carnations as well as wheat and alfalfa.
Larned Florist Wins Awards for Carnations
Gilbert's carnations won two second prize awards in competition with carnation growers of 48 states and London in the 2-day carnation exposition at Kansas City. There were 30,000 carnations in the show, representing the work of florists and carnation fanciers of international reputation.
Ftor Spelled Forward Means Toothpaste A La Russian
Moscow (UP)—Soviet scientists have concocted a toothpaste which they claim will prevent tooth decay and enable the user to retain a gleaming set of natural choppers indefinitely. The Russian medical magazine "Ogonek" has reported.
One application of the new paste, known as "Ftor," protects the tooth enamel from decay for six months, the magazine said.

If you hear strains of German music floating from the third floor of Fraser hall, don't be surprised. The University has purchased a new gramaphone for the Russian and German department.
New Gramaphone To Play German Musical Classics
German musical classics by Schubert, Schumann, and others will be played in German classes.
With department permission, the gramaphone will be available for student use to play linguaphone records, George Kreye, professor of German, said.
How About A Committee For the Committee?
Caney - After an entire day's search, Ray Redding, chairman of a Lions club housing committee, obtained a promise or two of an apartment for an engineer employed on a dam.
His wife listened quietly while he recounted details of his quest, then said:
"All right, Mr. Redding, now put on your hat and find us a house. While you were gone I received word to vacate. This house has been sold."
