S'LONG OLD TIMER
The lanky cowhand reverently laid the larvai and note among the flowers around the bier.
Just passing through."
That was all. But a stunned and silent world added this postscript.
We'll miss that kindly face of yours with its inevitable cowlick hooked to an eyebrow. We'll miss those syl gibes that were poked at rail-walkers and then tossed to a congressmen and lumber camp cooks.
"They know I don't mean nothing by it," you'd say. "That's why I can't by with it."
And we'll miss that "home-folks" manner and easy chuckle-draw of yours. Why the boys have even stopped singing that "ta raw tee boom teey," it doesn't seem just the thing to do now, and then to laugh at the way you sang that nag down the home stretch across the tape.
Well, to come right down to brass tacks, pardner, it's sure hard to realize you've actually left us. Anyway, good ridin' to you. Will, an' keep it on the market干粮. We'll be seeing you at the last rodeo.
(Signed) A World.
CHAIN-GANG PLEASURES
Amid the tuneful shouts of "barbarian" and "uncivilized" that are being hurled at Ethiopia and Italy, there arises a discordant note. This discordant note is in the form of barbarian within this nation—an uncivilized condition that laughs at all our attempts to appear superior in culture.
Closing its session in Atlanta, the American Prison Association adopted a resolution condemning the chain-gang system in Georgia and other Southern states.
Governor Eugene Talmadge of Georgia, defending the chain-gang, represents it as offering solace to the convict. "It is more humane," says the governor, "to permit convicts to be out of doors working on a chain gang than in a penitentiary where they must see the same drab walls year after year." If that be accepted as the fact, it is not the States with convicts farmed out in gangs that are lacking in humanity in the treatment of offenders. Instead it is the States which have sought to provide model prisons, with facilities for instruction, and a reasonable amount of time for rehabilitation. The serious of the humanity represented by the chain-gang, where the prisoner may see the passing motor cars, and even become a better man as he views the giories of the sunrise and feels its peace which deschends upon the earth as evening falls and he goes to his shack in the contractor's camp.
Unfortunately the evidence does not indicate that these beneficial aspects of the chain-gang are to be discerned elsewhere than in the imagination. On the contrary, the proof is overwhelming that the chain-gang is debasing both for the prisoners who compose it, and the men who, with guns and clubs, stand guard over them. It will probably yield in the end to the verdict against it at the bar of public opinion, despite its defense by the Georgia governor. But that end will not be realized until this nation is aroused from its blissful condition of lethargy and self-satisfaction.
THE DEAD CANNOT TALK
A line of cars racing up the Hill . . . A line of students attempting to cross the street . . . Which line is the safest?
Every fourth or fifth automobile shows signs of a collision: fenders smashed, bumper pushed flat against the fenders, doors jammed in, and window glass shattered.
Many students are carrying signs of collision just as evident as those of the autos. One man has a metal brace on his leg and walks with the
aid of a cure. A young woman lay on a hospital bed for six weeks and now "grows more thankful every day that I walk straight."
The autos that are still running, even though they are battered, are just minor cases of "what might have been."
The young people *v* with bent backs and broken bones are examples of "what has been." The dead cannot talk, just as *wrecked autos cannot run*.
IT* OCCURS TO US
The Kansen gets up at the alarm of a Connecticut clock, buttons his Chicago suspenders to Detroit overalls, washes his face with Cincinnati soap in a Pennsylvania basin, wipes his face on a Rhode Island towel, sits up to a Grand Rapids table, eats Kansas City meat and Minneapolis flour with Idaho potatoes, cooked with Indiana coal, puts a New York bridle on a Colorado broncho, fed with Iowa corn, plows 50 acres of land (covered with Ohio mortgages) with a Chittenden goapl. When bed time comes he reads a chapter from the Bible, printed in Boston, says a prayer written in Jerusalem, crawls under a blanket made in New Jersey to be kept awake by fleas, the only product of his home state.

Editor-Daily Kangan:
It is with great pleasure that I have read the Kavanagh's active part in the nationwide drive for funds for the Will Rogers Memorial. I think that no greater honor may be given him than this proof of widowhood. "The exact nature of the memorial has not been decided upon, the money will not be used for a useless monument." It would be a grave error to erect a towering stone or beautiful stone to the memory of an unfulfilled, useful and appropriate memorial must be erected.
Will Rogers was interested in children and students. The money might be used for children's hospitals or scholarship loans. It might be used for some charitable institution. There are hundreds of ways in which the money can be spent to give the greatest service to humanity and home to Will Rogers.
I think that every student and faculty member on the Hill should donate their nickel toward this fund. It might mean one less coke or candy bar, but the ultimate good far outweighs such temporary loss. The amount is not much and can be given to every student. The fact that everyone is contributing to the fund makes it a beautiful and spontaneous appeal.

DISCOVERY OF CELLOPHANE DUE TO DIRTY TABLECLOTH
When Junior goes to the store and buys an all day sucker, he must peel off a tough transparent covering before he can eat it; when Father purchases a Corona or a package of cigarettes, he goes to the kitchen and orders marmalates for a Sunday salad, they come in this self-same wrapping. And all this because a Frenhain by the name of Brandenberger became digested with the dizziness of his stomach, so we seem to be any connection in these statements, but this is the true explanation of how cellophane came to be discovered. In 1900, E. J. Brandenberger, chemist in a textile factory in Voices, France, began to experiment with cellophane in 1883 in London and the one from which rayon is made. It is a process by which cellophane is extracted from wood pulp. He attempted to apply a coating of this viscosity to cloth in that the latter might be cleaned more easily than the former. He then made a thin sheet of viscosity and tried to join it to the fabric. Again he failed, but this thin sheet became known the world over as cellophane. Although others over him found it he was unable to make such a coating, he suret it in quantities. By 1812 he had developed, like a comparatively thick, brittle tube to a flexible one about as thin as it to the surface. The process of manufacturing it differs from that he was able to realize in the laboratory, use the viscosity is blew through a number of minute holes and in the case of cellophane it is forced through a long narrow
French Chemist, J. E. Brandenberger, Failed Twice Before Achieving Success
M. Brandenberger secured capital for his work from Compiètre de Textiles Artificial, the largest French rayon company, which took out patents on cellophane all over Europe and in 1923 brandenberger to the great duPont organization and sold them exclusive rights to this product in North America. The first sheet of cellophane was made in the United States in 1924. The whole thing was under the direction of the duPont organization, but gradually Americans replaced them; the selling campaign was very intensive, but at first there were few purchasers. The reason for this was simple. Cellophane was a luxury product. In the beginning it sold for $2.50, but cost 2c to wrap a half of bread in it One early customer kept his supply in his safe. Then Whitman began to use for their medium priced candies and the duPont company was able to lower the price to $1.75 a pound. Producers began to use cakes with a glossy barbs and textiles in it. It was found however, that cakes dried up in this sort of container in 1927, after over 2,000 experiments, a moisture proof coat was applied to the cellophane and a new market was opened. All frosted foods were already begin to use it great quantities.
Then came the depression! Industries had to find new ways of increasing sales. They began to make improvements in packaging in order to give better protection to their products, make them easier to ship, and improve the appearance of all to improve the appearance of the container. Cellophane has proved to be ideal for this purpose. It is glossy, tough, transparent, and moisture proof. Its use has increased sales in many cases and producers have discovered that they can wrap several units in a package and sell it without having to be a hew would买. Makers of such things as golf and tennis balls especially have found this to be true. As these last two examples show, the uses of cellophane is not limited to food and cigars. Every week some new use it for foundries, stringed golf, giles, suspenders, baby carriages, mops, rose bushes, shoe laces, hot water bottles, shirts, hosiery, gloves, radio tubes, spark plugs, batteries, and so on. The name is now customers of duPont and company. The names of a few products wrapped in it will suffice here: violin strings, plated golf, giles, suspenders, baby carriages, mops, rose bushes, shoe laces, hot water bottles, shirts, hosiery, gloves, radio tubes, spark plugs, batteries, and so on. The name is now customers of duPont and company.
The depression has also been partly responsible for the development of the new cellophane-feeded fabrics. Old tree trunks have been used as largely been scrapped and the producers are trying out new and different ideas in an attempt to get ahead of their com-
In the case of this new fabric, the cellophane is laminated to the cloth by a special adhesive process which brings the cotton to an optimal sparkling brilliance. It can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth. It is used to make shelf covers, book covers, lamps shades, aprons, shoe bags, chair coverings, window disks.
The United States government is always ready to take advantage of any new scientific development and it has made good use of cellophane. The Bureau of Standards has found that it may be easier to print records, and it has encasped the original Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and similar documents in it.
The method used is to lay sheets of cellophane one-thousandth of an inch thick on and under the document, with edges pressed into the paper. It forms a smooth, firmly bound unit with the edges sealed by the overlapping edge of cellophane sheeting, and is ready for pressing.
From time to time articles have been peeled in scientific journals giving new found use for cellophane. Bacteriologists are used as bacteria which they wish to study or subject to ultra violet rays. Formerly they used glass covers which they had to remove when inspecting the bacteria thus running the risk of contamination using it in photography to show disease cases, etc., place in the former water color artist who did the painting of such pictures. These cellophane films are much more accurate and give a fine view of the surface of the former method. Cellophane is also being used in place of glass slides of charts, diagrams, or songs for in school-rooms. It is much cheaper than glass. In connection with that last chapter, some ingenious person discovered that when bits of colored cellophane were placed between two pieces of translucent rippled glass the result was a beautiful yellow-green film that cut any design in the cellophane and the finished effect is one of extraordinary brilliance. It may even surpass windows made of separate pieces of colored glass in spite of their costly materials and the high cost of its manifold relationship required if their construction
American manufacturers have made still another product out of cellophane. This is called cello-ribbon and is the product used in the schools, camps, and in occupational therapy. It is now possible to weave without a loom, paint on pottery and glass without paints, braid necklaces and beads, weave with paint beads, weave basket, table mats, hand-bags, belts, and curtain the backs-without reed, raffa, leather or cord. The ribbon comes in many beautiful fast and delicate designs that has the sparkle and transparency of glass. It is impervious to dust and grease and therefore is hygienic and sanitary. It is possible to weave beauti-
Cellophane has entered our every day life so quietly that we do not fully realize its importance until we begin to list its many uses. And for this great new product we may thank M. Brandenburg, who refused to eat from a dirty tablecloth!
We were assured by the Oxford debaters that our Congress at Washington is the best that money can buy.
There will be really something to be thankful for at Thanksgiving time is the holiday period is extended over to the following Tuesday, Dec. 3.

The Kansas City Kaw Valley and Western railway (out of existence in 1953) will be finished next year it was confidentially announced to the Kansas today by the president of the road. The town will be closed soon after the general public were glad to learn that the rates charged for going to the city would be substantially reduced over railroad rates. It is possible that they run every hour between the cities that many people will make their homes here and go to the city during the day.
