"hello." The little fellow then began pointing to objects and giving the Spanish and the English names for them. Soon he pointed to objects giving only the Spanish word for them. He the amused dude from the United States assumed his professional manner and began to teach the eager boy English. It turn Russ learned some more Spanish.
In the Inca Ruins in Lima, Peru, the most astounding souvenir of the journey was found. Russell's young brother claims the honor of discovering the skeleton of an Inca man, approximately 2,000 years old. Of course, the natives of that territory had really unearthed the body a short time before the Athas arrived.
Still Prefers U. S. A.
Once a year, just before Good Friday, the natives come out of the hills to the Inca Ruins in search of an Inca skeleton. If they find one, good luck is theirs fro the coming year. Russ managed to bring back to his home in Kansas City the head and hand of this ancient ancestor of man.
"In Quito, Ecuador," said Russell, "there is eternal spring. But I'll still take the good old U. S. A. for my home."

FIRE SWEEPS---that new planes to replace those lost last night should be secured inside a week.
Ashcraft praised the work of the Lawrence firemen who prevented the fire from destroying the airport offices and prevented it from spreading to the west hangar. The firemen fought the blaze with only a limited amount of water because only the county fire truck was placed in operation.
There has been no decision made concerning what will be done to repair the damaged hangar. The roof was burned off the west side of the cast hangar, metal girders were fire-twisted, and wooden beams in the new extension on the north part of the hangar were badly damaged.
City officials said this morning that if the airport bond issue up for vote in today's city election is successful in passing, part of that money might possibly be used in repairing the hangar damage.

Some students say that if the day is to become traditional, it is better, after all, to have it later in the season. What if we should eradicate all the dandelions now, before a single one has had a reasonable chance to reproduce his species? Huh? Then next year we would have our "second annual" Dandelion Day with nothing but a few scattered straggly dandelions to pull.
Now students can recover from mid-seesters, rest up over Easter vacation, and return to the campus full of vigor for the dandelion campaign.
