Impressions Made on Mind in Early Life Serve as Basis
The characters which Sir Harry Lau-
der will portray at the University Fri-
day night are those he has known and
studied. His early life, when his mind was
most open to impressions, was lived amid scenes in which homely Scottish lives were always before him. He lived away from home to aid his mother made him grasp at any employment which would bring in a few shillings.
Harry Launder has been telling folks why the Scotten are leaving Scotland. "It's not because Scotland is an unimpossible country that refuses a living to her sons," he insists. "She grows the best beef and the best barley in the world. But Till tell you why the Scots leave Scotland. We have a passion for law and order and good government, an it fit fair breaks a Scot's heart 't a see the sun through it. When through wi' out a bit o' kindly advice from 'th' folks that knw 'h best way. An' that' why they wander th' world or, try'n't help it to help on its feet, an' incidentally, pickin' up a wee bite o' illar here and on the way."
He earned his first pay by looking after a neighbor's pigs. He picked strawberries and sold them. He was once a caddie on Musselburgh links. He worked in a mill and was a miner. Harry "the grand old man of the singing and comedy stage." But the word "old" is merely an expression, such as the one college men use to address a buddy when they speak of "old man". Sir Harry says he will never grow old if does that he will think of retiring.

Scientists Probe Mounds
By Frederic O. Bailey
Illinois Civilization of 10,000 Years Ago Revealed
Collinsville, III—(UI)—Scientists are privy into the secrets of a civilization that founded here 10,000 years before the City of Rome incorporated.
Excavations are being made into some of the 80 man-made mounds that many archaeologists believe contain the reliefs of the first Americans, predecessors of the Indians by many thousands of years.
These mounds were the burial places for a once flourishing metropolis. With the dead were buried many of the implements of their civilization. The sandy soil has preserved them through the centuries in excellent condition. Overlooking the 79 other lesser mounds, and dominating the quiplain, in Caboobah, is Mount, Owen, of which 1,500 years of wear and cold rain, it still is more than 100 feet high, 1,083 feet long and 780 feet wide.
Engineers estimate that this gigantic work, built entirely by hand, required the labor of 2,500 men more than two years. The mound covers slightly more than 17 acres, and contains more than 1,000,000 cubic yards of earth.
More than 150 years ago a band of Trappist monks from Switzerland established a monastery on its summit. After a few years, a pillence broke out among the Trappists, taking a heavy load and preventing anyone behind守护 the site and returned to Switzerland. Thus it got its name of Monk's Mound.
It was not until comparatively recently that excavations disclosed the significance of the mounds. By careful study of relics of stone, bone and shell recovered from the burial places and camp sites, scientists have been able, in part, to reconstruct the life and habits of these primitive Americans.
