It was in a context conducted by the manufacturers of mechanical refrigeration equipment at Professor Hay's attempts to get material from the committee in charge proved unsuccessful so he wrote his paper from his knowledge of the process.

Bacteriology Department in Snow Has Small Fire
Considerable excitement was occasioned in old Snow hall just before Convocation this morning when Miss Sue asked for the collection of bacteriology, overturned a small quantity of alcohol on a gas burner. The fire quickly spread from the alcohol to quantities of ether, spruce, ethanol, and acetone, so soon covering an experimental table. Insulation on an electric cord extending across the room began to burn, and several persons threw water into the basement in trichytrice prior to prickening it before extinguished.
Much credit for acting as fire chief and superintendent the extinguishing fire, Ms. M. Downs, associate professor of bacteriology, by the other persons present. That the fire reached a high height was probably guished is proved by the fact that a
small quantity of lead in a sink nearby was melted in the short time the fire was out of control.

The puppies mourned their happy garage home for two solid nights before they were transported to a box prepared for them in the chapter room. Due to the fact that the puppies were born with no fur, during their tender days, the dogs became infested with species of creeping, crawling vermin, quite distasteful.

Journalism Fraternity
Hears Raymond Nichols
Raymond Nichols, secretary to the chancellor, gave a talk on his "Lookout on Journalism at a dinner with journalists" in a national journalism fraternity last evening at the Colonial tea room. This was the first of a series of professional plans to have this year. Mr. Nichols recommended that students in journalism should get practical experience as soon as possible.

The attractiveness of the clean pups has led some of the other Gamma Phi to adopt canine friends of the same breed. And it seems a good way to solve the Christmas problem with little expense. One can't help thinking, however, how delighted the mothers of the young relaunce their pups appear in the Christmas tree.
Four very attractive dogs are left, as well as the mother, who seems to be a settled sort of matron dog. Although the remaining dogs are apparently of feminine persecution, they will make little difference. Anyone wanting a nice dog might call the Gamma Phi house.

University May Be Taxed
Property Not Used For Schoo Purposes Is Taxable
An article printed in the Kansas City Star this morning stated that the Kansas tax commission raided an account associated with Association would have to pay taxes upon whatever property it owns which was not entirely for education purposes.

Lawson and Crafton Furnish Thrills in "Fats" vs. "Leans" Basketball Tilt
Local connoisseurs of basketball saw a fine burlesque on the game last night when two players batted and two freshman fives, one attired in boxing gloves and the other in galoshes, played. Later in the evening the KansasVan player K. U. Haskell, but this affair had more marks of a basketball contest than
The appearance of Dean Paul Lawson son eld in basketball hallibrations to gather with Rice Lardner, portly law student, alone was enough to assure his friends that he had a distrctions in the course of the evening. There were. In a wild nix-up under one of the baskets Lardner came out of the pile without the bigger part of his pants. Bored by his untidy simultaneously. Considering his bulk Lardner moved with a marvelous speed toward an out-giving door. The color of his neck and other exposed portions was radiant as he disappeared.
- Dean Paul Lawson is an eccentric basketball player. He grappled for the ball, no matter whether a team
mate had jurisdiction over it or more.
He gained considerable yardage last
week, and he could not resist the
head and playing. He failed to accep-

portunity made him a bit more mute.
Perhaps the most feared player on the court was Prof. Allen Crafton, who jumped center for the "Fate," Crafton is a little below in her height and occasionally hops sparing, but he did some fine tackling last night and occasionally landed wicked legs and rights during pile-ups that occurred. An opponent and one of his opponents crafted a fine band from the spectators.
The Fresh game was more grotesque, but less amusing than the Face game. He gloves slapping the ball, the floor, the gobble gobble and the elmumy boxing
World Fixes Eyes on Problems of U. S. and Russia
Each Is Conducting Social Experiment, Jenkins Says Today In Convocation
"America is interested in Russia, and Russian in America," Doctor Jenkins said. "Each is conducting a so-called entirely different points of view."
The world is now focusing its attention on Russia and the United States because both are conducting the two most important social experiments, Dr. Burris A. Jenkins, passionately investigating church of Kansas City, declared in the annual Christmas convoction this morning.
Russians Prefer to Be Poor
Doctor Jenkins based his address on experiences and observations from his trip to the Soviet Republic last summer.
"It is a dishonor to have money in Russia," doctor Komsma said. "The people have decided, however, for all to be together, and that nobody shall take it."
A quotation from George Bernard Shaw, English author and playwright that "Racism teaches the young to resist it while England and the United States were teaching their young people to get rich, honestly if possible, but if impossible, just keep trying." He was used by the speaker to bring out the contrasting attitudes.
Cigarettes, Wine and Kissing Forbidden Cigarettes, Wine and vodka, and kissing girls are forbidden. Doctor deken murderers is carried out simply by suggestion and violations of the rules will prohibit membership in the Communist party when they have reached the murder convention in Moscow during the summer, coming unattended and entirely without chaperones, he said.
and Half Million Rule Russia "More people rule Russia than the United States." Doctor Jenkins decries the new Russian government, members of the Communist party, rule Russia." Doctor Jenkins quoted a young Russian as saying. The speaker said he was quite certain many people ruled the United States.
The speaker described the Communists as ascertic, fanatic and determined that nothing should interfere with the work of government. He quoted a Russian girl's statement that a Communist would kill her and sacrifice and give up anything.
Sex is a necessity to be game brush with, but with no experience offered for Jekking said. A Communist who permits it to intercept is thrown out of the church. But if he would be put out of the hard-shell Baptist church in this country," the
Communists 'Reject Religion'
The Communists are making every effort to stamp out religion, but "they probably will not succeed." Doctor Jenkins said. The people are for Jesus or the Catholic Church, and religion is advertised everywhere as the "opiate of the people."
The convoction was opened by Chancellor Lindley, and the invocation was given by Doctor Jenkins. A violin solo, Tambourin Chinoir (Krisel Kreisler), was played by Kurl O. Meyer, of the school of Fine Arts.
The new members of Sachen were mourned by Chancellor Lindley, after the death of his late wife. The School of Fine Arts, sang a solo, accompanied by the University String
