"Here at the Fountain" should prove a good title for this day's bit of dirt. If for it's "dirt" you want, there is no better place to pick it up than right here in Bill Cochran's haven for the Pi Phi's. (adv.)
Dr. Cauteson is having spring round-up on some 80 students who attended the spring party of the Alpha Chi Omega's Saturday night, after one of the guests contracted scarlet fever. He intends herding them into the two houses involved and keeping them there for a 24-hour period. Instead of branding he is giving them the Dick test and those showing a negative reaction at the end of the 24-hour period to be held by you to establish their business. Those with a positive reaction will have to remain confined for the remainder of the week.
Finner and McCann, D.U.'s number 1 and 2 "Jug" men, came in about 10 a.m. and added to that formula on my cuff when they stocked up on tobacco and matches for those clinking days and nights until the fever quarantine is lifted Things look bad for the boys.

Flood Threat Seen in East
Pittsburgh, April 26 — (UP) – Thirty-six hours of monotonous rainfall bringing three inches of precipitation brought flood threats to the Allegheny, Monongalia, and Montana mountains; eastern Ohio, and West Virginia.
With a drizzling rain continuing here tonight the three rivers pushed toward an expected crest of 36 feet by tomorrow noon—11 feet above flood level. At 6 p.m. the stage at Monongahela meets and Monongabale meet to form the Ohio was 30 feet and rising at the rate of 8 inches an hour.
Flood - weary merchants were ready to man pumps and remove merchandise to higher floor levels as the muddy water crept into base-ments for the third time this year in the golden triangle, Pittsburgh's rich business district. Residents of *flood* - famous Johnstown, Pa watched a new flood of Stony creek and Conenaugh rivers creep to the doors of their homes, then slowly start to recede.
Unless a dizziness rain turns into a downpour the rivers there are expected to continue receding from the crest of 17.63 feet reached late this morning. Under orders of Mayor Daniel J. Shields, residents in Johnstown's low-lying districts evacuated their homes.
Tonganoxie State Lake Offers Aquatic Life Story
During this short stay at the lake, an annual activity of the class, the students took samples of bottom fauna, recorded the temperature of the water at various points, and conducted a quantitative study of the planton, the body of small animals and plants floating in the water which make up the food supply of young fish.
The limnology class of Prof. H. B Hungerford, of the department of entomology, observed the aquatic life of the Tonganoxic State lake Saturday, before a cold wave and an overabundance of whitecaps brought an end to its study of underwater curiosities.
The increase in the quantity of plankton in the last few years, noticeable again this year, gives indication of increased productivity in the future; the lake should be able to support a larger fish population. The plankton study was carried on in about 15 feet of water.

On Europe's Affairs
New Era and Fear
Arose With Hitler
Regime in 1933
"Since 1932 Europe has been living in a different period; the post-war era had ended," said Donald Grant, lecturer for the Institute of American Education, speaking on "The Present Dangerous State in Europe" yesterday afternoon in Fraser theater.
Grant is speaking on the Spanish civil war conflict this morning at 11:30 in Central Administration auditorium.
"The chief characteristic from 1918 to 1932 was the destroying of old strictures. The people everywhere expected a new era to arise immediately after the war. Europe in the early 1940s had been "perhaps too idealistic." said Grant.
Fear Characterizes New Era
Grant, speaking with the experience of a lifetime spent in Europe, observed that the beginnings of a new era—an era characterized by fear—arose with the coadjulophile on Jan. 30, 1933. "The initiative since 1933 has been taken by Germany Britain's 'big navy' program is but an attempt to reassert itself."
Speaking of the League of Nations, Grant said, "The League was always a preserver of the status quo, and hence unalterably opposed not only to Germany, but to Hungary as well." He stated that since the advent of Hitler even Britain has deviated from her stand on "a pure League policy".
Germany Spreads Propagan-
Grant told of the propaganda which Germany, through Dr. Hjalmer Schacht, minister of economics, is able to spread throughout the Balkans because of the vast imports from these countries which the Reich has made. He cited the propaganda which Germany is spreading in democratic Czechoslovakia, threatening the invasion of that country by Soviet troops.
Regarding the status of Austria, he said, "Austria is a land without national parliment. Schüchneung is trying to gain control and succeeding rather remarkably."
G. Stein Has Only a Dirty Word For Own Ballet
Grant was inclined to discount rumors in the metropolitan press that Mussolini's conference with Hitler's clue of stuff. Goering, which begged him to withdraw from the Italian influence from Austria it order to give Germany a free hand.
When the curtain fell on the finale and most of the private audience started from their seats, "is it that or bust? We cannot bust. Thank you beautifully much," the United Press correspondent turned to the mystic Stein and asked her what she thought of it.
London, April 26 – (UP)-Ger-
trude Stein, who says her writings
“may be wooxy but they’re wow-
ful” sat statue-like in a rear row
of the museum. She watches a
watching a dress rehearsal of her
first ballet “A Wedding Bouquet.”
The correspondent nodded and asked if she would without any dirty words tell him whether she thought the ballet would be a success. She was a bit miffed she said, because her London producers insisted on calling it "Wedding Bouquet" which she doesn't think has much meaning. She called it "They must. Be wed. To their wife." Tomorrow night's premier is a sellout, the management said.
"Alas, a dirty word, alas, a dirty third, alas," she replied, smiling honeyvolently.
Goering and Hitler, in addition to their discussions of the war in Spain and last week's Austro-Italian competition, whereby human "corroration" will be restored in Austria, were believed to have discussed closer industrial co-operation between Italy and Germany.
The groundwork they said was late today at a three-hour conference between the Italian chieftain and Genoa's Gorning Goering, Nazi "crown prince."
Home, April 26—(UP) Diplomats believed tonight that a military alliance between Europe's iron-fisted rulers would be the answer. Mussolini—may be in the making.
