New Spring Handkerchiefs Are Colorful
Handkerchiefs have come a long way from the plain white serviceable ones that mothers pinned on their school-bound daughters. Now they are as colorful as well as practical and are used to add a note of color to a suit or dress and worn over the head to anchor the coiffure from Hill breezes.
They are as frivolously colorful and gay as they are femininely white and lacy. All of the early spring blossoms, violets, tulips, carnations, bachelor buttons, cornflowers, pansies, mimosa, field flowers, roses, and iliacs, are tied in bow-knots, and nosegays and bunched or separately scattered symmetrically on fine Irish linen.
Some have amusing phrases and pictures printed on them that will help start the conversation rolling in an embarrassing silence or pause. The white ones are embroidered, French-knotted, and frilled with lace.
The scarf mode which has become so firmly entrenched on college campuses gives the opportunity to own and wear bright peasant scarves to many a college miss. Scarves, which are nothing but over-large handkerchiefs, help to do away with that bare space from chin to neck necessitated by collarless suits, coats, and sweaters. They are matched to gloves or to the trimming on the hat.
If you are puzzled over what to give that girl for Easter, try a floral handkerchief to match her Easter corsage because all women are handkerchief boarders at heart.

Sun Machine Eliminates Architects' Guess Work
The principal cause of poor eyesight—incorrect natural lighting in the home—and many other problems which are involved in home designing and planning may be solved in the future by the use of the recently invented Heliodon, a sun machine for architecture study. The Heliodon was designed by Prof. G. M. Beal of the School of Engineering and Architecture. Work, which began two years ago, was completed on it last week.
The Heliodon, which resembles a giant robot swinging a lantern from his shoulder, will be used in studying the orientation of the home as a whole in respect to natural lighting conditions. A model home, for example, is placed on a base table under the Heliodon for study purposes.
The Heliodon will be of special value to the architect in designing the class room or any such room which demands the best in natural lighting.
A powerful floodlight, representing the sun, is suspended above the table and is attached to a rod which can be shifted to any position over the model. This sun-like arrangement, set at a certain height and driven by an electric motor, follows the real sun's path through the course of one day. Thus, the study and the design and architecture for any room in the home may be made by analyzing the light's rays as fall on different parts of the model both interior and exterior.
Since the floodlight may be extended to any position above the model, and as it may be stopped at any position, (which the sun is not likely to do) at any time of day, month, or year, a constant source of study is available for any position on the earth through the use of the model. Beneath the table is a conveniently located mirror which, by reflecting the rays of light, gives an inside "peek" at the model from below, thus enabling the architect to get a true view of lighting for any home.
The guess work is gone—all types of situations may now be faithfully reproduced. The architect may now make all his deductions into facts taken from the scaled model. According to Professor Beal, "individual rooms for work and play or study and sleep may be tried and analyzed for the correct amount of natural light."
In addition to the problems of individual room lighting, major problems of slum clearance, city planning, and rehousing can be studied through the use of the sun machine. The operating room, for example, may be improved an estimated profitable percentage.
Plans are now being made to exhibit the Heliodon at the Engineering Exposition, April 19-20. The machine was built by Verner Smith, instructor of machine construction.
Merchants's Spring Showing Thursday
Thursday evening, the merchants of Lawrence with special window displays, offer the public : opportunity to view the new 1940 spring styles.
This opening is a semi-annual event occurring in the spring and in the fall. As is the custom, there will be a parade of bands and the guessing contest. Each store will offer a prize to the person guessing nearest the total value of the merchandise displayed in the store window. The boxes in which to deposit guesses will be placed in front of each store. Winners will be announced in the paper.
In addition to the regular contest, a grand prize is offered to the person guessing most accurately the total value of all the windows entered in the contest.
