400 Junior Prom Tickets Are Sold
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1940.
With one more day of exclusive student sales, Fred Littooy, l'42, student dance manager, said today he hoped students would take advantage of this opportunity to keep the Junior Prom exclusively a University party.
The limit of 650 was set to insure plenty of dancing space for Jimmy Dorsey fans. There were 600 couples at the opening Varsity dance this year. Litttooy explained, so when about 200 people crowd about the band stand, as they do at class parties, there will be plenty of space for dancers with the 650-couple limit.
At noon today only 250 tickets remained to be sold to reach the limit of 650 set by the dance committee.
Littooy expressed confidence all tickets would be sold soon after they go on sale to the general public, if not before.
Tickets are on sale at the business office, the Memorial Union lounge and Bell's Music Store, at the advance price of $2. The gate price will be $2.25.

Dear Diary:
Ah, flowers that bloom in the spring.
CUB·Huh? (he stops in his tracks and looks at the Mighty One credulously).
CHRIS: I simply asked you what
Thought I'd like to cut some classes today and go for a long jauit in the country. Spoke to my prof about the matter this morning and he didn't find me too amusing. Maybe he's right, though. I didn't cut any classes last semester and maybe I ought to keep my record
Cub Reporter Reviews Wichita U. Play Here
Critic Sick, Not Play--a wad of tightly clasped notes. The Paragon brushes the cobwebs from his eye lids and speaks.)
CHRIS; Well, Son, what was wrong with it?
Still, my spirits are not dampened. Think I could write some good poetry today, tra-la. The sports editor told me last that I'd make a good poet.
Hear that today is leap day, or something like that. Virginia, a friend of mine in this department, drew me aside this morning and gave me a confidential warning. This is leap day, she said, and I had better be careful. All the girls she knew, she said, were planning to give me a "big rush" today.
Really appreciated the warning (Continued on page two)
X-rays showed that there were no broken bones, her physician said. She is reported to be feeling better today.
Miss Carrie M. Watson, librarian emerita of Watson library, will remain in Lawrence Memorial hospital a few more days in order to recover fully from painful hip bruises received when she fell last Monday
As Miss Watson was leaving the library Monday evening about 6 o'clock, the swinging door knocked her off her balance, causing her fall. A library member called her physician immediately.
Miss Watson Is Improved

was wrong with the play. There certainly was something wrong with it, wasn't there?
CHRIS: You mean to say that you enjoyed it?
CUB: Well, I thought I did . . . it was sorta funny.

Something besides spring will be in the air tomorrow morning when Dr. F. C. Allen, basketball coach, some of his mainstays, and most of the University rally in front of Robinson gymnasium at 10:20, Bill Waugh, b'40, head cheerleader, said today.
Anyone who has not yet purchased tickets for the game is out of luck now. Earl Falkenstein of the athletic office, said that the last ticket for the game was sold at noon today.
The rally will last but 10 minutes, Waugh added, but he intends to make it the best the Hill has seen in short rallies
The last tickets to go were the 40 cent tickets for Hoch auditorium's second balcony. The main floor and first balcony tickets have been gone for some time. Indications are that the auditorium will be filled to it's 4700 capacity to see Missouri and Kansas play tomorrow night.

$2,500 Damage To Famous House
Lawrence old-timers recalled the past this morning when the Lawrence fire department was called to the Glidden Tourist home, 944 New Hampshire street, to extinguish a blaze that caused damages estimated at $2,500.
The blaze was attributed to a spark on the roof and was reported by a neighbor at 9:20. Damage to the frame building and furniture was covered by insurance.
The building is one of the oldest residences of Lawrence, being built in the '80's in what was then the swank residential district of the town. In 1895, the building became the Wilson house, a rooming and boarding house used exclusively for University students. It continued as the Wilson House until 1924 when it became the property of Mrs. Lucy K. Glidden, the present owner. Mrs. Glidden, her daughter, and a roomer were the only occupants of the house at the time of the fire

Major Eliot To Lecture Here Tonight
By Bob Trump, c'42
By Bob Trump, c 42 "How safe are we from enemy attacks?"
The answer to this and other questions equally pertinent to the present international situation, will be supplied at 8:20 tonight in Hoch auditorium by Major George Fielding Eliot, eminent authority on military strategy.
Adviser to 'Life'
Employed as military adviser to Life and Look magazines, the Columbia Broadcasting System, and the New York Herald Tribune, Major Eliot recently won acclaim for his study of the problems of American national defense entitled "The Ramparts We Watch." This report is at present being made into a movie by the March of Time.
When King George said farewell to Canada and the United States following his visit to America last summer, he declared that the younger nations of the western hemisphere must find a way to solve international problems. Born in Brooklyn
If this statement is true, Major Eliot should feel qualified to express his opinion on the present situation, for he embodies the spirit of the United States and Australia, two of the youngest and forward-looking nations of the day.
The military tactician was born in Brooklyn, but at an early age he moved to Australia with his family. During the World War, he fought overseas with the Australian forces. In 1922 he returned to the land of his birth and soon became prominent in the Military Intelli-

Grad Invents Athletic Treatment Device Here
By Richard Boyce, c'40
Called an Injury Treatment Device in patent applications the invention is intended for use by coaches and trainers, in applying therapy to injured athletes. The demonstration was witnessed only by a select group of interested medical students and au- $ \textcircled{2} $
Athletic Use
An invention revolutionary in its method of applying the principle of wet heat therapy was demonstrated in Anatomy building yesterday by James L. Hight, gr., the inventor.
The device, Hight explained, meets the need of smaller high schools and colleges which cannot afford more expensive equipment. Because the initial expense is low, and operating expenses are limited only to the cost of electricity in operating the invention, the inventor, who will receive his master degree in anatomy this spring, believes the machine will find
immediate acceptance in athletic circles.
Although several patents are on file in the United States Patent Office for similar devices, the Hight invention claims attention because it makes use of rubber tubing which can be so set up that it can be applied to any part of the body, and because it is more compact, is adjustable, portable, and can be on-
