WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2. 1925 THE SKILTON OPERA 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 "Kalopin." the score of which will be published by Carl Fisher. The theme of "Galápagos" is a combination of an Indian love story and a great calamity, the New Madrid earthquake which formed Real Foot Locks in the northwest corner of Tennessee. The music, however, is not exclusively Indian. The libretto was written by Mrs. Virginia Armistead Nelson, poet, and newspaperwoman. A COUNTRY HOME NEEDED 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 Stanford Skilton has honored the University greatly. Recent application in Washington has been centered around the needs city of a country White House for the president. The many demands excreted of the chief executive couple that some relaxation be afforded him President Coolidge surges 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 has is the naval mary Jane flower. He always 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 grass. 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 publicity 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 charge 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. * Considerables work remains to be done this semester and only twenty-four days, including Saturdays and rays, are left. The usual number of students who have not read the long list of works required or who have put off the sera reports, are bewailing their plight. From now until finals are over, the well known cramming process will be utilized to the utmost and only the truly optimistic would willingly predict the group who will achieve home base in the proper style. MOR HORRORS Another mob has accomplished a murderous deed which could be equalled only by the atroctions of the Middle Ages. Lynchings have been altogether too common in the South and the slow death of a nugro convict allyer on a funeral pier is much worse than the usual type of mob violence. 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 met out by a mob temporarily insane, is not. The claver has been caught, and confessed his crimes, and was being taken to proper authorities. The mob as usual had no rightful place in enforcing law and order. Newspaper headline: 'Colt Upholts in 1929.' Nothing new there. The whole always acted rather childly toward us in 1929. Every man has his price, but thank goodness, it's not always expressed in billions and cents. Unny, the printer's devil, says he has resolved to make no more New Year's resolutions.

A house not necessarily is a home—it never in full reality can become a home until one already and truthfully may say, "This is my One may be content, paraphy happy, in a raised chudo, but only a real home can satisfy the heart, stabilize civilization and transmit stability to the environment of a value greater than may be traced of more material substance. The home building instinct of the people simply has been assisted "insured and satisfied" by the construction of buildings and loan associations. These organizations in the United States have the power to provide people to secure homes for themselves All of which is an old story. But the present mightiness of this business is insuring the now concluding year the loan associations made the greatest gain over the previous year. And that is something which speaks clamorily for the drift, purpose and basis instinct of the people, and members of the building organizations. When the aggregate resources of these companies are considered attention becomes autonoid, for three years the firm invested in figures of $815,000,000, with $7,400,000,000 invested in mortgages on homes. It is estimated that during the year 1928, through this agency, 700,000 homes were bought. Founded upon the heart desires of humanity, so generally well offered and conducted as to be in immune from the cold, the need for climate-friendly organizations that great organizations have become intensively vital and reliable factors in the development of present day high civilization, which, through this agency and influence, help to foster a climate of love and inspiring growth for centuries to come. Cincinnati Enquirer. "Flaming Youth of Insect World Like Bright Lights and a Hot Time (Seleccion Servicio) Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 2.—The "daring youth" of the insect world, evolutionally speaking, are an缸 for the bright light*, a hot time, and fast living generally as are their human prototypes. That is to any, the more "modern" insects, the species most recently evolved, 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. Charlene 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.

"Sudden" or recently evolved life is called a worm. "They like the tapiroles as a place to live, they prefer, often, oommy places rather than dim woods or shelters, they need mud and water, they need mud live in a cooler zone they thrive host in the hot summer, they thrive host in the cold winter, some hosts of this group include such active and relatively intelligent orders as the snail and bake, the higher dwarfs and the displaying batteries. --to be a short; life and a merry one.

For while a few of the grasshopper oxers are modern and "fast," the ones here are almost whiter none of the nuts are "slow" and root of them belong very deciduous. Read the Kansan Want-Ads. The snatter of the old-fashioned insect, which have sometimes been enclosed "nursery fossils", are just the number of numbers in the cooler parts of the earth, fly in the cooler parts of the day or fly in the shiny woodscares on mountains. These insects are active in the cooler seasons. These fascinating include amphibians, and molluscs, strippe beetles, and the gnathoglosses, grindhoppers, mealy and fly orders.

Another point developed by Doctor Kennedy has to do with the length of life of the groups compared. The longer a group's lifespan, the more years it a ruler, or sometimes several years to come to maturity, will be able to give an intermediate number of relatives and crosstraction, which takes three years to come to maturity, and the longest of the families is an elicitor. The "fast" moderns, on other hand, mature and reproduce much more rapidly, a couple of weeks before the higher tides. These are some of the higher tides. They arise.
