ConradGets His Honey
Rock Chalk Co-op boys will have 13 pounds of strained honey for their biscuits this fall as a result of the bee-catching prowess of John Conard, college junior.
Bold Venture Pays Off With Sweets
Capitalizing on several bets that he couldn't do it, Conard captured a swarm of bees from a tree near the Journalism building during the final week last spring. Arming himself with a pair of newsroom scissors, an all-metal waste basket, and a large picture magazine, Conard sallied forth to the battle of the bees.
He clipped the branch on which the swarm had settled and let the bees drop into the waste paper
basket, where they remained for several hours covered by the magazine.
Moved inside the journalism building, the bees became discontented with their captivity, and some of them flew out every time a curious reporter lifted the cover. Trying to remedy the situation, Conard called Robert Gunter, entomology department bee-keeper, who removed the bees to a hive and cared for them all summer.
Last week Guntert took the honey from the hive and extracted it—13 pounds. All Conard has to do now is go get the honey, and Keith Martin, official Co-op baker, will pass the biscuits.
Here's to Sinus Victims Stop Eating Bread and Milk
Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 15.—(UP)—There's news for victims of sinus trouble—You may be able to cure it with injections of an extract made from dust under the parlor carpet.
Or, said Dr. George E. Shambaugh, Jr., a professor at Rush Medical College, Chicago, who addressed the 26th International
Medical Assembly, you may have to stop eating bread and milk.
Shambaugh said the theory that cold out of every 10 sinus infections were caused by an allergy. He said tests had indicated that house dust was the most common offender, with wheat, milk, chocolate, eggs and coffee following in that order.
He said that in most cases the allergy can be tracked down—by the same methods used with hayfever sufferers—and the offensive food or pollen or dust eliminated. Where the irritating agent, like house dust, cannot be eliminated its effects can be reduced through injections of extracts made from the stuff itself.
"You can relieve sinus infection by taking a trip to Florida or Arizona," he said. "But that's not the way to cure it. The only reason the infection disappears is because the air is clean in Florida and Arizona. Climate has nothing directly to do with it."
Shambaugh said "at least 90 per cent of all sinus ailments can be cured and an operation is necessary less than 30 per cent of the time." He added, moreover, that operations in the case of an allergy are not a permanent cure.
Donald E. Dowers, draftsman for the Kansas Geological Survey and First Lieutenant in the United States Army, is home on a 15-day furlough. Mr. Dowers is officially stationed at Camp Robinson, Arkansas, but recently returned from maneuvers in Louisiana.
Dowers Home From Robinson
"That's why sinus operations have such a bad reputation for being painful," he said. "They've been overdone. No matter how many operations you have, if the infection is caused by an allergy, you still have to get rid of the allergy after the operation."
Stambaugh said the theory that cold weather causes sinus trouble probably was wrong, though winter head colds easily can develop into a sinus infection. The same, he said, goes for swimming, airplane rides and the various other activities on which sinus trouble has been blamed.

She accepted this high honor with thanks, offered to write an essay on etiquette for the particular benefit of the Lampoon editors, and promised to show up at the Advocate's annual banquet November 20. This news was duly printed on the front pages of the papers at Prineeton, N. J., home of Harvard's greatest rivals.
which once nominated Miss Sheridan as the movie actress least likely to succeed.
Last night Miss Sheridan received a wire from Peter Prouse, chairman of the board that publishes Nassau Lit., the 100-year-old Literary Publication at Princeton. He said he was shocked at Annie's even considering besmirchingly herself at Harvard and added that his board wanted her not only as editor, but circulation manager, too. He continued:

Ivy Schools Fight Over Ann Sheridan
Hollywood, Oct. 15. — (UP) — Ann (the oomph) Sheridan found herself squarely in the middle of a Harvard-Princeton feud today, with enough insults sizzling the telegraph wires to curl her red hair with a permanent wave.
They were poetic insults, too. Shakespeare stuff.
"Your talents, dear Ann, are more than divine,
On Saturday last the dignified Harvard Advocate, undergraduate literary magazine, sent Miss Sheridan an offer to become honorary editor. This, said editor Marvin G. Barrett, was to make amends for the Lampoon, university funny paper

This poem (it is so, a poem) reached Miss Sheridan on location on the Warner Brothers' ranch, where she was impersonating a juke joint girl for a forthcoming movie. She dropped what she was doing, called for a pencil from her press agent, and as befitting a former Denison, Tex., school-marm, came up with a poem of her own. It follows:
"Dear Peter Prouse of Princeton Lit. And members of the board: "Your minds, you say, are capable of several things to hoard?
"The Advocate and Princeton Lit. must sneer at verbal passes."
"I'll edit one. I'll edit 'other. And
"Tsk-tsk, sweet boys. That's far enough and quarreling's for the masses.
