SUNDAY, MARCH 19. 1933 THE JAYHAWKER CAMPAIGN Tomorrow marks the beginning of the sales contest being sponsored by the staff of the 1933 Jayhawker. Competition will last from tomorrow morning until five o'clock next Saturday night; and at the time that some University student will have won a free trip to the Chicago World's Fair. The contest is being promoted because the necessity for more subscriptions. Although rumors have been spread to the effect that the annual this year will be a "cheap" book, the management has made the statement that the high quality maintained in the past is not to be lessened this year. It is necessary, however, that the contest next week be a success and that the student body co-operate in furthering the sales campaign. As an aid to this, the staff has offered a copy of last year's Jayhawker to those who pay cash for their 1933 annual. Students who are financially able, then should buy Jayhawkers from those who are selling them this week. By doing so they will further that particular contestant's chances for a trip to the World's Fair; they will get an excellent bargain themselves—two books for the price of one; and they will help bring a worthy campus publication out of the financial delrums. TOM SWEENEY It is with much satisfaction that University students greet the reports that T. J. Sweeney, well known Lawrence banker, is improving from injuries received when he was struck by a hit-and-run driver at a down-town intersection Thursday evening. For over sixty years Tom Sweeney has been a resident of Lawrence. During that period he has become one of the best friends the University has ever had. He is a friendly and thoughtful man, apparently never considering himself but always on the lookout for others. Guests at the commencement dinners for many years have found a white jasmin blossom at each plate, a gift brought from Louisiana by Mr. Sweeney especially for the occasion. This is only one of the many little things to which he, by his constant consideration has personally attended for the University. Accidents, of course, are often unavoidable; but when such unfortunate occurrences as Mr Sweeney's injuries strike so near home, it would be well for every one sollenly to pledge himself to support the safe driving policy of the University with sineness and carefulness at all times. WEEKEND WORRIES Why do weekends seem like a long vacation when it's the middle of the week, and then when Saturday and Sunday do come they're gone in a flash? All those promises you made to study over the weekend can't possibly be fulfilled; there isn't time! You've got to have a date or two and then you have to catch up on sleep. And then about Sunday, Dad and Mom drive over to see if the cash is holding out. And about 10 o'clock Sunday night you wonder where the heck those two days went which you'd been looking forward to all week! In the final rush and bustle to consider as many measures as possible before adjourning sine die next Wednesday, it seems very doubtful that the $57,500 allowance for repairs to Dyche museum will be re-instated in the Educational Institution Appropriation bill. Thus the shortness of time remaining and the pressing urgency of considering other measures may be the reasons for the University Natural History Museum's remaining closed to the public for two years longer. It is a commendable thing that the 1933 session of the Kansas legislature has extended its period of labor two more days. Still, it is to be hoped that the proposed appropriation for Dayche's rejuvenation will not be pushed aside too hastily and that due consideration will be given it. Carefui observation is not needed to show that the public interest in Dyche is one that reaches far, even beyond the boundaries of our own state. It remains that the museum is one of the biggest drawing cards to the University campus. The legislature will keep these facts in mind, it is boped, in considering an appropriation that is related to a most worthy and vital part of the University of Kansas. A SURE CURE This dissertation is written for two classes of people—those who are bloatied with their own importance and those who are weary with the world and all that is in it. All others may as well turn to the sport page without reading any further. If you are unfortunate enough to find yourself in one of the above classes, we suggest this cure for your ailments: Go for a walk-alone into the night-late, away from people, and let yourself be absorbed into the arms of the wind. Try to forget all of your worldly troubles and become a part of the silent, pulsating spirit of the night. When you look into the skies and see the clouds racing across the endless nothing above you, you will be overwhelmed with the immensity of Life. It is so great that your insignificence will make you humble. You will have a feeling of reverence for the tiny stars, for the wind that plucks at your coat and whispers in the trees, and if you don't feel that there is a Something in this Life that is fine, good, and too great for you to define, then your sense of feeling and appreciation is dead. No matter how important you believe that you are in this world or how word-weary you may be, a simple treatment of this kind will leave you more satisfied and content. Stacks of sod in front of new Snow. Newly set trees and shrubs scattered over the campus. The slope behind Dyche has been planted to grass and rolled. Shoots are beginning to appear on the trees. In a few weeks our campus will be in full bloom again. When the laws begin to stand out on their front veranda and serenade the passers-by, everybody knows that spring is here. With the first warm weather the men feel the impulse to cast away what shreds of dignity remain to them and once more give voice to their theme song. Those who cannot sing manage to whistle the chant and clap hands to keep time. The passers-by also keep time, marching along in perfect step in spite of their efforts to be nonchalant. THE LAWS THAT SING IN THE SPRING No one knows where the laws acquired their one and only musical selection. It seems to have originated in the dark ages judging from the gruesome words. Fortunately, they are not very clear in the conglomeration of voices, but everyone gathers that they would be more fitting in an undertaker's establishment, OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN COLLEGE FACULTY MEETING: Notice due at Chancellor's Office at 11 m. m. on regular afternoon publication day The faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will meet on *Tuesdays* at 4:30, in the auditorium on the third floor of the Administration building.

The Campus Muse A prominent faculty member declares that he never carries cigars with him, on the theory that he thus avoids smoking too much. That may be a good idea, but the only way to keep the average student from over-indulge is to stop carrying tobacco — R.S. in the Michigan Daily.

AGNES HUSBAND, Director The serenades of the laws are at present not fully appreciated. In fact the sidewalk in front of Green hall has become a spot to avoid if possible. And yet if the men just have to sing, far be it from the other students to inhibit their impulses. Monday evening at 7 o'clock. All members are cordially invited. MARY SPRIM, LUCILLE WEISS, Chairmen. Y. W. C. A. SOCIAL COMMITTEE: Campus Opinion Perhaps if the laws should learn a new song and change their arrangement on the steps, such as the tenors at the top and the basses at the bottom, their conversations would be more willingly attended. At this time, at the sundown of my collegiate career, I feel obligated to cast a literary orchid into the lap of the present Man's Student Council. Having been enrolled in our state institution of higher learning for the past four years, we thoroughly competent to weigh the merits of the present student administration. HELEN HEASTON, President. —McPherson Republican --as he read the sign. "I never knew be before just what that mine was." They have, it appears to my unbiased point of view, done a noble job during a time when carefully selected repatrials were being such a highly commendable manner. The council has saved money on their operating expenses. In fact, I am informed from well-reliable sources that they will exceed that of last year's council. Furthermore, the council has not been content with that legislation concerned with immediate needs of our student body, but has gone further than promised last spring. They have realized in months to come. I refer to the present scheme of Student Activity Fees, which will embrace not the interests of the few, but the interests of the many. This is a highly commendable task. It should receive the authorization of the student body.-LJS --as he read the sign. "I never knew be before just what that mine was." The Black Box of Silence Illustrations by O. Irwin Myers By Francis Lynde (WNU Service) (Copyright by William Gerard Chapman.) (WNU Service) Copies of the first chapters of the story may be had upon application at the Kansas Business Office. THE STORY CHAPTER I - Having demonstrated the ability to use a black box* which he has perfected, Owen Landle, young inventor, in his company, Wally Marsh, that he learn the device, if exploited, might be able to prevent an attack. A black box is stolen from a safe in CHAPTER II- Landis tells Markham and his team how to combine the safety, is Bettie Lawson, with whom the inventor has teamed. The team consists of a woman's footprint found in a dumpster. CHAPTER III—Betty, daughter of a man who has been to abuse suppression, but to assure her to be above suspicion, both he and Markham. Both he and Markham believe to be on abuse suppression, but to assure the cast to one of Betty's shades. They are Cainy, a stronger in town, who is posing home from the theater the previous night. Carr, Markham does not tell Landais that she will be sent to her car. Markham does not tell Landais that she is unthinking, but she proves she was seen to prove she was present at the time. CHAPTER 17 — Markham, vaguely unknown in his hotel room, in his haunt. He finds a volleyer and a complete set of burglar's valves and burglars' kit to the hotel and burglars' kit in his room. That might the safe in his house was blocked open and locked, the date was bloomed open and locked, the barrared that his "black box" is buried in the window he has framed. Linda with Markham was locked in her apartment. CHAPTER VI.—While he and Lendle are sleeping, a car is stolen from them by they go on. On the road to the minibus, the two men get off the Fleeting, shed of them, At a hotel in Copoho they meet Betsy, the Wear, and explains the reason for her West, and explains the reason for her overcars a conversation between Can-Can and Rachel, and convinces him he is on the right track. CLAPTER 9 A- AtlPortal that they did not have a first class stairs, filing in a Fleetwing and strangling In the bottom of the gulch, some distance below the road, a fire, too large to figure as a campfire, was burning. Markham stunned the car. "Queer," said Landia, "Doesn't seem to be anything down there to burn." "No; but I haven't curiously enough to make me climb down there to the out what it is. I don't know how I can, and I'm about dead for sleep. Let's go." CHAPTER VII Due to a blowout which hit them shortly after passing the gulch of the mysterious fire, and which imposed a rather lousy job of eaxing changing, the early summer down was awful. And then they moved into a Little anter intere they come to a group of mine buildings, one of which bore the legend; "LITTLE ALICE MINING COMPANY "MANWELL & STARRICK." "Why nothing much, except that I own a few shares of stock in it; one of the items in the little legacy my mother left me. She was daintily retreated back to her room, but Starbucks 'fam'y. I've never taken the trouble to look up the location of the mike. I dintly remember the Starbucks. They stopped over in Carriage with us on their wedding trip when I went home to live in Droyster, we'll book them up." "By Georze!" Markham exclaimed. A few miles further they found themselves looking down on a little city bestriding Timmyont river. A little hitter they stepped in front of a modern hotel. Turning the rooftop over they placed "looter" they went in to register. "What about it?" Landis asked. "Then you won't want to wait for the regular breakfast before you turn in. We can give you quick service in our office and we'll have it. I'll have it on your suite." "Night driving?" queried the clerk. "Yes; from Copuh," Markham answered. "That will be better. Have you had anybody else in from the east this morning?" "Test a party of three—棠 in a couple of hours ago. A Doctor Lawson and his daughter, and Mr. Cobby." Nobody else! Marrham pressed, "No. Were you expecting to met friends here?" "These three gentlemen from Louisville," said Markham, producing his memorandum of the three names. The clerk read the names and smiled. "You've got your schedule here." We were told we had reservations made for these gentlemen for the twenty-eighth. You've got a big job to do! "So?" said Markham. "That's a bit bolt. They've been just ahead of us all the way across from Indiana, and we are about to go." A very short time before we did. "Well," said the clerk, "they'll have to take what they can get. If they turn up, you might get them even elephants. You say they left Cothcacha ahead of you? Then you must have "Maybe we did." Markham offered; and with that they followed the boy to the elevator, somewhat mertised. They were up in time to make the dining room for a late luncheon. At a table opposite mat an elderly man of a type which is fast disappearing, even in the farther West; the pioneer who had made good, and is at last able to take his case in a civilization for which he was once one of the pathfinders. Never hampered by the formulas, Markham passed his card across the table and got precisely the reaction he needed. "That's neighbours. Glad to know you, Mr. Markham. My name is Starck," and he reached across the table "Thanks," said Wally, with his good-natured grin. Then, "Not, by any chance, Mr. William Starbuck, a partner in the Little Alice mine." The bronzed-freed man smiled. "There's only one of me. I guess." "Im. You've just shaken hands with a furious company by marriage, I suppose," he says, fractional owner in your mine. My mother was a Valkirian on her mother's side; and once I think it was on my mind that she was a short time with us in Carthage. But, excuse me, you shook hands with me with no cooperation with my friend, the Lord." "Sure! And he's as welcome to the Timanyan as you are, Walter." "Gosh!" said Markham. "You don't mean to say you remember my name." muthu to say 'you remember my name!' "Sure I do; how that you told me told me about your dog?" the girl fainted a fat-faced little chup, but of course, I wouldn't have known you from Adam now. What are you and Mr. Landis doing?" "No plans whatever; just driving about to see how far we can go on so many gallons of gas." The mine owner nodded. "I see. You may not believe it, to look at me now, but I was young once, myself—and I sore wished a restless foot. I'm sorry Mrs. Starbuck and the girls are here." She looked up. "We'd have you both out of this dungeon; promo; not that it isn't a pretty fair sort of poshness, at that." "I'll say it is," said Markham. "Wouldn't you, Owen?" Landis agreed. "The Carthage Banner would run double-lead editorsor about it for a week, if we had a hotel as good as this at home." "Speaking of Carthage reminds me," Starbuck put in. "There are three hotels, the best one in hotel; got in this morning. Maybe you know 'em or know about 'em". "We knew two of them rather better than the other, so to make a mamas' pet of Owen, at the same time that he was the best to flank me in Physics Four." Starbucks audited, "I took an eye watcher," and I didn't dare to daughter; it'll you'll both agree with me if I my that Miss Lawson is pretty enough to start a stopped "Asked Ovex," said Markham with a grin, "I ask you to switch the number of members of the Canby person, who writes himself down as from Carthage; do you know Markham answered for both. "Reasonably well; though we haven't known him very long. He is a comparatively newcomer in our town." Starbucks' smile was grim. "Using the word you just now tacked onto your friends, the Lawns, we know he'd heap better than well, out here." "Is it tellable?" Markham asked. "Oh, sure." He was here all last summer booming a bauxite mining and reduction scheme; sold a good chunk of stock." "And afterward?" Wally prompted. "There wasn't any afterward, not so much. The miner was—well you might say it wasn't casually a straight fake look. It was really a discreet deposit of the mineral in it, but not enough to make it a commercial prop." "All of it is mighty interesting to listen to," Markham commented. "The more so, because just now he is trying to float a factory-add-ondation scheme in our town. I wonders what will happen if we add a thick of his Carthage promotion." "I might be able to tip you off as to that," said the mine owner, "Canby LAWRENCE OPTICAL COMPANY Eye Glasses Exclusively 1025 Mass. "Canby Made a Barrel of Easy Money Out of Us Here—and Than Got His Own Feet Wet." made a barrel of easy money out of us her-ward and then got his own feet wet. About half a mile above the Little Alice there is a mine that is the source of the water, of the woods. Some think it date back to the time when all this region was a part of the Spanish possessions; anyway. It was here and there and for many years there were any of the American prospectors came in. When Lake Topaz began to be a summer resort the old Quaywan, as it called, became a sort of show place for tourists, the Mimmino from Tahoe and the Tibernees from Tompkins came over here and reloaded the Quaywan; claimed they explored it and found new mineral in it. We used to go to the Quaywan to see its 'general belief that they were salting the mine and fixing to stick somebody with it. Anyhow that's how it turned out. They sold the Quaywan and stuck; they took his money and 'led away.' "The biter bit, chl?" said Markham with a laugh. "Does he still own it?" he asked. "The big sack we kept a small sack in it ever since he bought it; seeding good money after bad, you don't say, because there has been it." The boss from it. Just lately he has doubled his force; imported a lot of Mexicans from down Santa Fe way. just what that's made them so knowns. The place is guarded as if it were a diamond mine. Some think that Cubay has actually struck it rich. You know, he's stuck some stuff somewhere inside against a big shipment. Others say he is getting ready to stick somebody else. You Starbuck glanced at his watch and pushed his chair back. "Sorry, but I've got to chop it off," he said. "I'm due at the bank for a meeting. You'll be stopping over for a while, won't you?" "Yes; so far as we know now." Markham said. "That's the talk! I want to know you both better." Then "talk to Markham." "just take me in as one of the family and make such use of me as you can."
