A STITCH IN TIME
These are the last few days for many students on the Hill. They are friendy triangles which will last until life is ended. But aside from these is a group which Lawrence merchants most remember.
Advantage has been taken, by this latter group, of the fact that they may never see Lawrence again. Unpaid debts of room rent, board, etc., are left behind to await their return. New students are faced with suspicion because of trust misplaced in those who have "skipped" their debts.
Part of this is due to laxity of merchants in collections. But the greater part has been found to be the student's fault in not considering the burden it places upon students to succeed them in years to come.
The Thoughtful Freshman has athlete's foot. When he discovered it, he was so glad because he felt Nature at least had truly recognized his athletic ability.
LEAVE BOOKS IN LIBRARY
This is the time of the semester when every student is beginning to work consciously. They are frequent visitors at the library and their time is planned almost to the minute. When one feels the inspiration to work like this there is nothing more irritating than to find a desired book gone out of the library. Some inconsiderate student, thinking only of himself and his work, has slipped out with the book. The other may get along in the best way they can, or get along of others as well as one is good of others life. The University is a good place to get this habit of thinking; it is there that student's lives are being molded for
There are many others who are also getting ready for finals. Think of them, too, when you have an impulse to take a book out of the library against the rules.
"That's joke," and the man who learned his worst enemy had become paralyzed.
THE ALUMNI GROUP
The alumni group has launched a "club-of-five" plan in order to increase its membership. This plan should bring in many new members because of its provisions for personal contact between the present member and the prospective member. Personal contact is much more effective than move writing of letters and issuing of bulletins. The alumnus organization is perhaps one of the most valuable groups the University has. It is active and does much for both the present students and former students and alumni. It should have no difficulty in getting new members.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery—except when you imitate somebody's signature.

ner, and yet the public eras such sports as this. Nine thousand six hundred persons saw this young man meet them. They still insist on attending raves.
Throughout the history of the world, there have been sports in which men have risked their lives in order that other people might be thrilled. The world has advanced in science and industry and now it is clear how far to advance it before failure in this field.
Since the advent of automobile races, airplane stunts have come into popularity. Here again men risk their lives and oftentimes lose them only to give the public a thrill. It is a pity that the world must be backward in this phase of civilization. Why must men give their lives to entertain other people?
When a woman leads her husband a dog's life, is that a case of animal 'ubandry?
THE NIGHT BEFORE
Despite opinion to the contrary, late work the day before finals seldom helps grades. Overwork places a mental and physical strain upon the student which cannot be overcome in a few hours sleep.
By retiring early, the student can rise somewhat early to his great advantage. He is fully awake. In an hour's study he can accomplish more even before could have netted him. His mind is fresh and retentive.
The student should take advantage f this proven practice. He can make rapid survey of his course at a time when it is most valuable to him. Examinations will be approached in a side-awake manner instead of sleepy-ed and tired.
It will be a wonder if any of K.U. college flyers make it back to school in the fall, judging from the way they make him climbing Mt. Oread.
HELP UNCLE SAM
Now is a good time of the year to help Ucle Sam. Several thousand senior announcements are being mailed out from the University. Other schools, including universities, colleges and high schools are adding to the burden on Uncle Sam's mail service.
The invitations sent out from K. U vary in weight, and consequently the amount of postage required for them varies. If insufficient stamps are supplied, the postman is required to collect the additional postage from the addresse. This net only takes his time but is bothersome both to him and to the person receiving the mail. The best way is to have the announcements weighed before mailing them. Then you have checked your addresses? Is the return address on the envelope? Help Ucle Sam by doing these little things. He is easy enough without being bothered unnecessarily.
The Thoughtful Freshman says he calls his roommate Onion, because he's so strong.
BRIDE'S BUDGET
An efficiency expert says a June bride's trousers should be gauged by her husband's salary. She asserts it is ridiculous for girls to spend $1,000 on such a wardrobe the income will only be $50 weekly. This would only result in setting up fictitious standards, which might cause discontent later. Perhaps her logic is right.
But then, most would-be brides wouldn't consider a budget—all women have ideas of their own and generally express them. The average woman considers one trip to the altar sufficient and if she wants to spend $20 instead of $20 on a wedding dress for a $20-week-man-why shouldn't she?
Yet, on the other hand, the whole affair could be just as successful an experiment if the bride were to wear a gingham gown and a sun bonnet. But then—
Ripon, Wis. — (UR) — A runaway horse broke an oil pipeline here. Sparks from its sheets set fire to the truck. An investigation that threatened to destroy the town.

The flames spread rapidly with the flowing oil and within two hours several men had been injured, one seriously. Seven tanks of oil were destroyed, the main road station endangered, and seven buildings were in flame.

Automobile of Future May Have No Ignition System, Says Engineer
Committee on Scholarships.
F. GALLOO, Chairman,
French Lick, Ind. *Automatics without ignition systems and averaging 25 miles on a gallon of six-cent crude oil are not far distant.* A Diesel engine which accomplished these economics was recently successfully in a seven-passenger seasel and a roader. C. I. Cummins, of Otumba Ind., re-energized the engine.
The widespread use of this kind of engine depends on additional technical perfection, experts say, which should be accomplished through scientific research during the next few years. In Europe, where the cost of gasoline is very high, the Diesel engine is already applied to trucks and motor buses.
Buttons Don't Matter in Divorce Proceedings
Philadelphia, May 27 (U-P) - Automakers are anything but novelties these days, but a certain car has here emerged as the first "bordern carriage" of the early years of this century. It is known as a Porsche, built by Ferdinand Porsche 'car' and built by Robert Dodson, a 12-year-old student of Germantown Academy, at the total cost of one dollar.

It is 18 inches wide and five feet in length, but when it comes puffing up the street it is the main attraction of the day and leaves behind it a trail of curious people who crunch their rocks around the corner and out of sight.
Dodge, who is the son of Kern Dodge former president of the AMSL, is glad to tell anyone how he constructed it.
"It began as a coaster," he explained. "I built it of planks and used the wheels of my old express wagon. Then got hold of the gasoline motor from a shop that was putting them together. Then I needed a large sprocket, a small one and a sprocket chain. These came from a biaceae plant and cost a dollar. I didn't need any batteries; there's a magnet on the flywheel. That steering wheel there is the bottom of an old keg I found and I'm going to fill it with water. The tank holds about two quarts and I guess can ride for nearly two hours on that. I can give fifteen miles an hour of out her. Maybe after a while it will work. I'll need it if I take any tours."
Fairplay, Colo., —(UP) —The death of "Old Prumes," a burro, has disrupted the friendship between Fairplay and Alma. Both towrie claim the right to animal cruelty to the 60-year-old animal and each has raised a fund for that purpose.
Burro Causes Enmity
Mr. Cummins announced plans to put such an engine on the market in America. It will compare favorably with present day standard gasoline engines in truck and bus service, he said, because of their durability into the automotive field very fast.
The engine used in the sedan and roadster was designed primarily for use on the automobile it performed unusually well. During the entire 6,000 km of road trips, the finance was practically the same as with standard equipment originally used. The engine had little slightness on the pick-up front zero to 20 miles per hour. *Top speed*
The same engine in the lighter car made a speed of 85 miles per hour and can carry up to ten passengers up Lookout Mountain at Chattanooga in high except over two miles.
In spite of this excellent performance much development must be done because the car is now in the ordinary car carrier. Its cost and weight must be reduced and it should
The Diesel has been used primarily in small station power plants, located on remote islands. Its heaterspace has been many times that of the automobile engine and its speed can reach 400 km/h.
Research has accomplished much toward making an automobile power

I pray the Lord to pass this test
If I should sleep before I wake,
I pray the Lord my grade to make

Wafted on moonbaums serene,
Throbbing with exquite cadence
I hear the voice of Irene.

His sorrow with no sound

I ache with sad despair
My hopes have flown away
A gladness for the morrow
It simply isn't there.
The frays of notebooks, paper, themes.
My face may yet shed beams
Of happiness and joy.

Aborigine Race Brings Fame to Missouri Cave
Rolla, Mo.—(IIP)—Near the mouth of Gord县峡, 12 miles southwest of Roca, in northwestern Colombia, than local fame because of apparent evidence it affords of a long continuous river.
This cave has been thoroughly explored by agents of the American Bureau of Ethnology who some time ago an exhaustive report of their findings.
The owner of this cave has removed many human skeletons, quantities of bone from the walls of a large pre-historic animal, flint ear bones and other reliefs of ancient occupation. This invasion is equally treacherous, as there are narrow crevices and tortuous passages, where one must frequently crawl through the rock. The Smithsonian institution, "that somewhere in history was supposed to have seven pony loops in all, which was put by an old squar, sole survivor of a masonry by which her trowel was created."
This cavern has been traced back 600 feet and has a ceiling 110 high. In the rear of this cave rises a large spring which makes a good sized creek. Within 100 feet of the mouth of the cave disappears into the nuddy floor.
