People often take humor too seriously. When humanists discover that people are taking their stuff seriously they become unhappy. When the become unhappy, magazines like the Sour Owl result.
Since the next issue of the Sour Owls dus come Friday next, ye Shimster feels it his duty to be, as usual, a great public benefactor and prepare people for the match-duke games, remembers that if you can't laugh at the jokes of the age to laugh at the age of the jokes.
On the Hill it is customary for one person to buy a humor magazine and share it with 8 or 10 friends. So find a friend who has just aquanded 15 cents on an Gnwl and lean over his shoulder, blowing smoke in his face. If he can still see, turn the page before he is ready. This will probably put him in an ugly mood. No matter.
Always read the prompt first. Your name will probably not be there. This gives you an excuse to start gripping to yourself. If your favor-

Success at Washburn
Game Inspires Nessly
To Greater Feats
Encouraged by success of the "card display" stunts performed in the east stands at the Washburn game, head cheerleader Jack Nessley, c30, and his assistants have planned even greater feats for the Oklahoma hilt Saturday.
Cheerleaders Plan Display
Possibilities of filming the performance for a showing at a Lawrence theater and at many other picture houses in the middle west are managed seriously S. E. Schwan, director of the Granada theater.
The displays will be shown between halves of the game following a drill by the University Band. As the hand plays the University of Oklahoma's alma mater, 1056 Kansas students will use the cards to flash the word "Sooner" in red letters against a white background.
When the tune "I'm a Jayhawk" is played, a Jayhawk-yellow bill, red head, and blue wins—will rise
and flap its wings. Parents' Day will be remembered when the card section portrays the words 'Hi Ma-Pa'. The Sooners' covered wagon will be shown rolling along—actually in motion—and "Kansas" will be introduced by the illumination of card display and cheers, as it was at the Washburn game.
Co-operating with efforts to generate a large amount of pep for the game, the Jay James and Ku Kus have printed 500 car sticker bearings the challenge, "Scalp the Sooners." There may be obtained free from Bill Bailey, b39, at the Blue Mill.

British Rise Against Arabs
Military Forces B o m b Houses and Drive Bands Into Hills With Planes
Jerusalem, Oct. 11—(UP)—British military forces tonight turned widespread punitive measures against Arab terrorists by blowing armed hands into the hills with bombing planes and armored cars.
Moslem leaders, defying Great Britain's determination to crush the rebellion that resembles a modern holy war, announced that armed resistance would be intensified and that Moslem world is being roused to anger.
In Bethlehem, the British troops were barricaded behind machine guns, tanks, barsbed wire and sand bags, around the crumbling church of the nativity, on the spot where Christ was born.
A large force of Arab rebels had occupied Bethlehem and British authorities made the city the symbol of their most drastic efforts to stamp out the bloodshed of the past five years.
The British military forces, soon to be brought to nearly 15,000 in addition to 6,000 special police, beg their reprisal by dynamiting 21 Arab houses in villages in south Palestine.
Blooded throughout the Holy land and counted for at least 17 Arabs killed, and numerous Arabs and police constabulary wounded in clashes during the past 24 hours.
BARCELONA, Spain, Oct. 11. — (UP)—Seven Trostykist leaders, charged with high treason and espionage, today went on trial for their lives before a five-judge tribunal in what may be termed one of the most sensational developments of the Spanish civil war.
Spain Charges
Trotskyists
With Treason
The accused men, charged with working with German and Italian agents and starting the Catalonian revolt of May, 1987, in an effort to free the people they are leaders of the once-powerful party of Marxists Unification.
The Marxist party is friendly to Leon Trotsky, and it bitterly hated by Spain's orthodox Communist party. Thus it was indicated that the trial might have international repercussions.
Among the seven who were arranged today at the beginning of the trial is Daniel Rebull, editor of outlawed newspaper La Vallatta.
Delta Phi Delta Gives Annual Tea in Union
Approximately one hundred and twenty students of design and painting and faculty members attended the Delta Phi Delta annual balloon alkylar afternoon in the new room in the Memorial Union building.
In a statement to the city council Monday night, Councilman F. A. Russell, chairman of the water committee, said the excessive turbidity of the city water which caused considerable grief in September probably was caused by excessive turbidity in the river itself and not from the sprung joint discover in the intake line.
Miss Rosemary Ketcham, chairman of the department of design poured, and the officers of the organization acted as hostesses.
Solve City Water Mystery
Some of the early arrivals on the Hill this fall will remember the water shortage. Women's rush week was just starting when the shortage occurred and the water had to be brought in. A few days clear water again surged through the mains and the crisis was passed.
Russell said indications were that the river current has been cutting into mud banks near the diversion pilling some distance upstream from the water intake, and that it is enabling the river to have a biodiversity on Sept. 8 and again on Sept. 12 was due to cutting away a mud bank. He also said he did not believe the excessive turbidity came through the sprung joint, or the great amount of mud which came into the settling basins would hinder the deposition in the ground at the point where the groud was sprung.

Fort Franees, Ont., Oct. 11—(UP)
—Two Indian guides and an aged couple emerged from the blackened forest nei the international line tonight, hours after they had been given up for dead in a raging forest fire.
Sixteen were already dead and scores injured in a brush fire which, driven by a heavy wind, leaped out of control and swept across thousands of acres of underbrush and timber land in the vicinity of Ft. Frances and International Falls, Minn.
Rangers said they believed the fires were the result of underbrush fires set by farmers, despite warnings that dry weather and abundant vegetation had created a serious situation. Small fires broke out several times during the past few weeks, but did not spread until whipped by the winds of the past few days.
The danger to Ft. Frances and International Falls, both of which at one time appeared threatened, was believed to have abated when he was killed down, and the fighters caused the upper band in several vicinities.
