WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1929
Professors and students of the University of Kansas have accomplished divers things of importance and usefulness in the world, but for the first time one of them has written an opera. Professor Charles Sanford Skilton, head of the organ department of the School of Fine Arts, recently announced the completion of his opera "Kakapin," the score of which will be published by Carl Fisher.
THE SKILTON OPERA
The theme of "Kaloppi" is a combination of an Indian love story and a great calamity, the New Madrid earthquake which formed reef Foot Lake in the northwest corner of Tennessee. The music, however, is not exclusively Indian. The Liberozo was written by Mrs. Virginia Armint Nelson, poet and former newspaper woman.
Professor Skilton has been working on the opera for the past five years besides meeting a heavy schedule of music classes and publishing an oratorio "The Guardian Angel," given last spring by the Lawrence Choral Union. He has numerous other compositions to his credit and is recognized as an authority on Indian music, Charles Sarfond Skilton has honored the University greatly."
A COUNTRY HOME NEEDED
Recent agitation in Washington has been centered around the necessity of a country. White House for the president. The many demands exacted of the chief executive required that some relaxation be afforded him, President Coulidge suggests a country. White House as a temporary relief.
The plan presented by the president is a country home within easy driving distance of Washington, preferably among the hills around the city. When the chief executive desired a change of atmosphere he might leave the White House for a few days and go to the country retreat. Outside of the annual summer outing the only other means of escape he is the naval yacht Mayflower. It always goes down the Potomac and while affording some relief grows tiresome.
People rarely consider the tasks and heavy responsibilities which confront the president of the United States. And along with his public duties the president and his family are ever the center of public gaze. Although the White House is the home of the president during his term of office it is in reality a public home. The president and his family are usually very human individuals who desire privacy a few days now and then, to indulge in their fancies without being trailed by movie cameras and public men. A retreat of comfortable but not too pretentious proportions would serve the purpose quite adequately and the people of the United States might thoughtfully consider granting the chief executive a place where he could have a change of atmosphere at least.
THE HOME STRETCH
The return to the campus today of the student body is the final reminder that third base has been passed and that the semester's activity is on the home stretch. The flu epidemic which interrupted the usual schedule before Christmas vacation seems to have subsided sufficiently to allow the majority of the students to come back for the few weeks which remain.
Considerable work remains to be done this semester and only two-weeks, including Saturdays and Sundays, are left. The usual number of students who have not read the long list of works required or who have put off the term reports, are bewailing their plight. From new until finals are over, the well known encrawling process will be utilized to the utmost and the truly optimistic would willingly predict the group who will achieve home base in the proper style.
MOR HORRORS
Where the officials of the prison and the officers of the law were, during the seven hours in which the prisoner was tortured and the mob gathering, news reports do not indicate. That the man deserved severe punishment for his crimes is granted, but that his punishment should be moved out by a mob temporarily inmate, is not. The clayer had been caught, had confessed his crimes, and was being taken to proper authorities. The mob as usual had no rightful place in enforcing law and order.
Another mob has accomplished a murdeous deed which could be equalled only by the atrocities of the Middle Ages. Lynchings have been altogether too common in the South and the slow death of a negro convict player on a funeral pyre is much worse than the usual type of mob violence.

THE NATIONS HOMES
THE NATIONS BREAK
In many reasons why America is in many nations, but the chief is that it is hard to cowain housing under the stars. A house not necessarily is a bome—it never in full realty can be a home until one cremally and truthfully may say, "This is my horse."
The home building institute of this people vastly has been assisted, co-ordination and development of buildings and loan associations. These organizations in the United States have an important role to please to secure homes for themselves All of which is an old story. But the present magnificence of this business is changing the now concluding year the loan associations made the greatest gain over the last year. And that is something which speaks eloquently for the thrift, purpose and home benefit of the people members of the building organizations.
One may be content, perhaps happy, in a rented bed, but only a real home can satisfy the heart; social civilization and transmit enriched values of a value greater than may be true of more material substance.
When the aggregate resources of these companies are considered attention becomes astounded, for those companies in which a figure of $15,100,000, with $7,400,000,000 invested in mortgages on homes, it is estimated that during the year 1928, through this time, 600,000 houses were bought or built.
Founded upon the heart desires of humanity, so generally well offered and conducted as to be immune from the chaos that occurs in the great organization have become intensely vital and reliable factors in the development of present day high civilization, which, through this agency and influence, creates a more harmonious, persuasive and inspiring growth for contours to come—Cincinnati Enquirer.
"Flaming Youth" of Insect World Like Bright Lights and a Hot Tim
Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 2. — "The 'swing youth' of the insect world evolutionally speaking, are just as fond of the bright blight a hot time, and fast living generally as are their human prototypes. That is to say, the more 'modern' insects, the species most recently evolve, have a higher metabolic rate, faster physiological processes, move more rapidly, and prefer bright sunlight and the warmer parts of the earth.
This is the thesis advanced by Dr. Clement H. Kennedy of Ohio State University, writing in a recent issue of the scientific journal *Ecology*. He has made a special study of the dragonflies, but has examined also the family trees and present modes of living of a large number of other groups.

The tastes of the old-fashioned insects, which have sometimes been called 'surviving frogs', are just the same. The term comes from numbers in the cooler parts of the earth, fly in the cooler parts of the day or lash in the shade woods or grasslands. They are active in the cooler seasons. These insects form includes stoneflies, and ants, thrills, boochie, and the grasshopper, moth and fly orders.

It compares "slow" insects like hawks and only once a year as a rule, or sometimes quite several years to come to match that of birds in intermediate form.

Hugh, dear:
You know, the personal interest that you took in my sad case so inspired me to new hopes, that I followed your advice explicitly. Now, I can't think you enough, or the result we beyond by fond expectation.
As you suggested, I handed him the knife and did he for it? Or up to me! Hugh! that after due consideration, I believe that I can do better. There is no need to be too hard not for me? You see. Humbel, I mean by showing that you are hard to understand.
Actually, I feel so grateful to you that I might even go out with you sometime when I'm not too rushed.
Your ardent admirer

I still not even say "dear," because you know how convincing these pet names turn out to be in a court room. You know, since you seem to have obtained such great help through my advice, I have almost been tempted to use the nouns as advice for the lawyers. At your suggestion first encouragement, I have even do so.
Now, as to that statement that you might go out with me some time, I feel most highly flattered. If you were not sure what time you were no more time, I can assure you that I would marry my red hair, take my teeth out and have them worked over, and maybe I would even stop chewing; what one may do at times. Can one?
Your attentive listener.
