THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO.
The first week of school. "Yes I've got a great course, Keen prof good hours, and all that. I'm going to study hard. Of course this week there is not anything to do. Not every one in the class has his text yet."
The third week of school. "I'll have to start studying soon. I'm getting behind in all my subjects. But this week is so full I don't see how I can get any studying done."
And now. "Next week is mid-semester exams! I haven't really done any hard studying yet. Perhaps I can cram over the week end."
And then. What will it be?
These events lead up to the tragedy of failure.
CURE FOR HOMESICKNESS
He was a country-loving freshman who was a little homesick. He hurried down the railroad track leading out of town. He cut through a field of beautifully made golden corn shocks, giving them the silent greeting of an old friend. How good the rough earth underfoot felt and how tanzalizing the odor which came from the eider press in use behind a farm house. Climbing over a fence he halted midway, looking at a tapestry of colored oak and maple leaves in a nearby woods.
Hurrying into the woods he stopped still a moment to listen to the calls of a lone pair of birds and the lazy rustle of falling leaves. He came to a river and leapped upon a tree for a long time, watching the glamour of the tiny wind-waves as they rippled slowly by. A shaft of sunlight caught a vivid patch of bitter-sweet in its path for a few moments. A squirrel busted by.
Finally he turned his steps back toward the campus. He wasn't home-sick any more.
WATCH YOUR STEP
The University will be on its good behavior for the next couple of days. It will have to be. All the deans of women in Kansas will be here for their annual convention. The library will be vacated by 9 o'clock every evening. Why? Because each fair co-ed must have plenty of time to get home before 10:30. Local soda fountains will notice a considerable dropping off in trade. No time this week for homework stops. Many of the more midtimate feminine students will not venture out after dark at all. The theaters may as well suspend performances for a few days. The date rule is NOT suspended for the deans of women convention. And by the way, what a good time the students of other Kansas schools will have this week while their deans are out of town.
THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
PIONEER
Within the past two years, scores of people in attempted trans-oceanic flights have been lost. It would seem as if their ill fortunes would prevent taking similar chances by other aviatoes. But the spirit of conquest is not this easily daunted.
The lure of the aviation game seems to grip its followers and draw them blindly into these hazardous undertakings. Of course if success is the glamor that is their's seems
to outweigh the risks. No thought is given to the other side of the story—should the attempt fail. The will to do the unnatural, to pioneer for a worthwhile cause, kills caution.
As long as American airmen fly the skies, equally long there will be written into the pages of history stirring accounts of conquests of the air, discounting the rising toll of lives in attacks which have failed.
THE BAND TO NEBRASKA
Some means should be provided to send the band to the Nebraska football game. The athletic department in the past has financed two away-from-home trips to football games for the band each year until last year. Last year the gate receipts of the Nebraska game were stolen, and for a while it seemed that the band would be unable to make the Missouri trip; but the student council came to the rescue at the last minute. This year the athletic department has a large defect in its budget which necessitates curtailment of expenses. Sending the band to Nebraska has been called off.
The presence of the band at a football game is more inspiring than that of any other group of its size. Can K. U, afford not to send the hand o Nebraska?
WHY MUTINY?
Long, long lighted rows of cells made of iron bars, so that they can be washed out with an ordinary garden hose--damp cells, with filth and slime in the corners, where the stream of water from the hose did not quite reach it, or worse, where the water swept it--long, mudding hours tailing over hemp, or rock--long hours, and days and years of silence, broken only by the rour of machines, or the ring of a sledge on rocks, or the surly, threatening command of the armed guard.
And then the prison officials won der why the convicts mutiny.
KANSAS WINS
Kansas won the game. The wolves have been silenced. For a week, at least, there is going to be little grumbling about the Kansas team the Kansas coach, the Kansas rooter, and the Kansas weather. To all long distance observations, Kansas sent a real football team against an opponent, not because it was victorious, but because its members played football as a real football team should play. It is the hope of Kansas followers that future opponents will meet the same team. If such is the case, the team needs have no fear of receiving sufficient support, whether it wins or loses.
Mummy Packs of Egypt Investigated by X-Ray
Santa Monica, Calif., Oct. 28—unopened mummy packs, containing within the sealed wringings of the mummies of King Tutankhamen, Egypt, Peru, and North America, have been looked into by the penetrating eye of the X-ray in an intensive investigation conducted here by Lynda L. Moodie, noted paleontologist.
Twenty-five Egyptian mummies,
80 Peruvian mummies, one North
American burial and a dozen or more
assorted carned animals and birds
have been examined and more than
one hundred of them have been
been made, Doctor Mordie states.
Material for the investigation was furnished by the American Museum of Natural History in New York, the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, the University of California, and the results of the study, now practically completed, will be published by the Field Museum.
The bones which stand forth in the X-ray plates show particularly darkened bone, distressed the world's early inhabitants. A mummy of an Egyptian woman shows hardening of the arches and fractures of her teeth and of the teeth are clearly in evidence, and there is one singular case of a well-known modern alien, imitation of ancient humans.
Alcohol From Sugar Used In Brazil as Motor Fuel
Rio de Janeiro,——(UP)——"Azulina" is the name which has been given to a new motor fuel much used in the state of Pernambuco. Its producers are a group of sugar manufacturers who have visualized the economic potential of their motor fuel and who have formed a corporation to exploit "Azulina."
This is basically a mixture of etho, and an alcohol derived from cane sugar, the residues of which are muscose. It is also found in Pernambuco and other states.

Uncertainty Prevails Over House of Commons as Premier MacDonald Returns
New York.—(UP)—Prime Minister Macdonald's return to London after his successor finds his political opponents in a condition of confused uncertainty. The Laborists in the House of Commons have been unable to solve Great Britain's unemployment problem, but both the Conservatives and the Lloyd George Liberals are equally perplexed by the name of Premier Machandou, with the practice of tripartite control and the settlement of Anglo-American rivalry in his favor is likely to conduct his political strategy as to as to bring about a new general election.
Re J. W. T. Mason
followers are pressing increasingly for a socialist program, but a new election resulting in a full Labor victory would have to come first.
4. The Labor Party in the House of Commons has not a majority
will. The Liberals and Conservatives could combine to check any social-
rights issues.
A general election soon after the conclusion of the forthcoming fivepower naval conference in London, would be strategically advisable if the conference ends in success. The Liberals and Conservatives are still closely engaged and could well be caught in a bad situation by the Labor Party.
The Liberals have no constructive program and are divided in their loyalty to Lloyd George. They appear to be divided into the third party. The British parliament system works efficiently when there are only two major parties and the test at the next general election is that they win the Laborists and the Conservatives.
The Conservative party is disillusioned with the leadership of Stanley Baldwin. The Chairman of the Conservative party organization, J. C. C. Clark, and therein is in a growing demand for his retirement. Baldwin, however, has said that he, himself, will stand or fall with Davidson. The Conservatives, therefore, are discussing the difficulty of throwing both overboard.
Before that can be done, a new leader must be chosen. Several names are being discussed. Winston Churchill would like to have the post, but he could not do so. The Conservatives, who consider he would be unreliable and reckless. He has made numerous political enemies and he has not the equable tempera-
The most prominently mentioned Conservative to replace Stanley Baldwin is Neville Chamberlain, halfbrother of Sir Austin Chamberlain, the former Minister for Foreign Affairs, Postmaster General and Minister of Health. He has probably the strongest personality among the Conservative statesmen and is resourceful. The Conservatives have his diplomatic temperament, so that very few people know the inner workings of his mind. He has been responsible for pensions and housing legislation, however, because he qualified with his diplomatic temperance. Conservative leaders against the Laborists.
Whether or not he is chosen to succeed Baldwin, the Conservatives will be for some time in an uncertain position. But Mr MacDonald willairs. If Premier MacDonald can capitalize this confusion, he may say something different and himself back in the House.

Chinese Forbid Queues and Binding of Feet
Peiling, — (UP) — Undaunted by failures during the past two years in attempting to alter age-old customs, Peiling's Nationalist municipal government is making a new onerous effort to participate in the festival of the Chinese New Year. The most recent campaign of the Kuomintang reformers is heralded by a decree that all queues must be cut by January first next, and their feet not yet possibly deformed will be unbound before that date.
At the same time, another decree has been issued stating that the Chinese New Year festiva must not be celebrated in 1930.
The reformers show a hardly spirit, as their previous efforts along this line have not been very successful in Peiping. They obtained the support of several months before this year's New Year festival, asserting that this ancient festival was outlawed and should not be observed.
But the people placidly went ahead with their pins, after listening to the reformers at mass-meetings and in small gatherings. The Chinese New Year festival in 1925 was celebrated with a universal abandon which struck foreigners as being superior to that in any recent
The reformers have encountered a similar difficulty with those tenacious few who stick to their queues. Decrees against queues were enacted in 1912 and stated intervals since the foundation of the Chinese Republic in 1912. Several such decrees have been issued since the Nationalists occupied Pettingi in June, 1928. But a new-fold gentlemen stick to their "pigtails."

The petrified forest covers several acres. Some of the trees are ten feet in diameter and others are nine to ten inches with their top points in the same direction, indicating that they belonged to the same forests and materials for the nearby beds of coal.

Dutch Rubber Committee, Which Opposed British Monopoly in 1928, Now Favors New Restriction Pool
London, (UP) - Almost a year after the removal of the British Stevenson plan, under which Great Britain attempted to restrict the trade of rubber prices has been stabilize rubber prices has been started in Amsterdam.
The Dutch committee estimates the consumption in 1930 at 850,000 tons, which would leave a shortage of fresh water for the reserve pool of 43,000 tons is there fore proposed, which would be to pee 600,000 tons of fresh water. British, French and Dutch colonies.
Curiously enough, the attempt is being made by the Dutch rubber growers protection committee, which is holding a national exhibition of the Stevenson scheme. The Dutch committee now is asking the British producers to cooperate in setting up a pool from 16 to 20 per cent, of the total output of standard quality sheet rubber and establish a nationwide sales price for a specified period.
"It still may be expected," the circular read, "that the time is now near when the world's consumption may be balanced."
Proposals to the proposals will be submitted to a meeting in Amsterdam in late October. Meanswhilo, the committee has issued a circular which expresses regret there is no institute for a project that would reliably on rubber production.
The circular estimated 1030 production at 820,000 tons, creating a deficit of 30,000 tons under consumption. It is likely to be a rise in prices in 1930.

Wood Fiber to Replace Cotton in Good Papers
Silence Service
Washington,—High grade bond and permanent record papers, where permanence and durability are essential, are often used in filing fibers. As a result of an investigation by the U. S. Bureau of Standards, however, it is indicated that ceramic fibers are more suitable for conversion into such papers. This will effect considerable savings since the wood fibers are much less expensive than metal.
Papers carefully prepared from high grade cotton rags have always been used exclusively where permanence extending over hundreds of years was desired. The cotton fiber is the parch form of cellulose which forms a thick, uniformly called slipnella fibers, has a high degree of permanency.
