MID-WINTER MADNESS
For several weeks now the evidences of the approach of Christmas season have been displayed, even flaunted, before us. Evergreen trees, ropes, and wreaths adorned the city streets almost before Thanksgiving turkey was removed from the oven. Strings of colored lights, in many places, have helped in the transformation of prosaic business districts. Stores have been made attractive by decorations and window displays. Newspapers and business men have co-operated in urging “Do Your Christmas Shopping Early.” Placements and printed notices have naged people with their constant reminder of the decreasing number of days until Dec. 25. Outgoing mail is stamped with the warning to “Mail Your Packages Early.”
Arxious-faced women through the shops carrying long gift lists and paddle hurried-looking men, who seem rather out of their element. Bulky packages are smuggled into closets and drawers, and angelfied children fight for the privilege of helping mother. Professors are beginning to realize again that lessons should not be permitted to interflow with such legitimate pursuits as Christmas parties, and last minute shopping tours.
FRESHMAN BASKETBALL
In short, the world is engaged in its usual delightful mid-winter madness.
Students have raised the question an to whether the athletic department has chosen the most satisfactory time for freshman basketball practice. The practices are now between 6 and 8 in the evening. Such hours do not keep many from trying out as the prospects are auxiliary to practice, but they do cause considerable inconvenience. The candidates, who have afternoon classes get little or no studying done before 6 and are usually too tired to study after the close of practice at 8. Candidates from organized houses and those who eat at boarding houses must go without their regular meals, either eating a cold lunch or getting a few bites at some cafe after practice. Surely a more convenient time could be decided upon.
AIRPLANE LINES
The twenty-fourth annual "society" automobile salon of the New York Automobile club is in session this week. It is interesting to note that the models attracting the most attention are sport cars in which the influence of the airplane is to be seen to a marked degree. One of these special attractions is described as a "phanton of highly polished aluminum with the front fenders designed to represent the cross section of a plane's wing, the front and rear seats resembling cockpits and a rudder and elevator attachment on the rear." Another make, of 265 horsepower, has two "depressed panels painted in silver, one curving from the top of the hood downward to the center of the front door and other extending around the back from the rear door." These cars are being exhibited to society people as the latest creations in the motor world. But the signif-
cent feature about the show is its "airplane influence" which is emphasized in the design of the machines. America is rapidly becoming "airminded." Manufacturing plants in New York, St. Louis, Wichita and other centers are turning out planes in rapid production. Cities everywhere, even the smaller ones, have their airports and mail and passenger routes by air are being extended. The President, in his message to the Congress, urges continued efforts in transportation by air. Americans, in their quest for speed and efficiency are accepting aviation development with much enthusiasm. It is no wonder that motor car manufacturers are striving to reflect airplane features in their new models.
RADIO INFLUENCE
With the announcement that Dr. Parks Cadman has given up a Congregational pastorate in New York City to become pastor of the first "radio church" in America, another step is made, not only in the advancement of the radio but in the possibility of a unified religious movement. When Ozorn S. Davis, in writing of the American ministry says that the influence of the radio upon American preaching cannot be determined, he speaks prophetically. From the standpoint of the minister himself, radio use has given him rare privilege. Fundamentalist ministers have capitalized the idea with evident success and excellent strategy. Whether this movement will take the place of regular church services cannot be anticipated. The power of a visible speaker and the demand for social fellowship in worship still plays an important part. But the extended field of radio should give the minister a wider field of influence.
"Our Purse is Full" - headline in *Knoxville City Star*. That sort of thing bends skeptics to remark that you can't believe what you see in the paper.
A New Jersey bird dealer contends that a coyote in love won't sing a note. To parents, at least, that is sufficient proof that man and canine did not have the same remote encounters.
After trying to manufacture a wice-ware about $200,000 of numerylrant burning up we've decided that the story is funny enough by itself.
Cold Wipe Heads Here—headline.
We knew of course that this weather business was pretty much of an inside affair, but were entirely ignorant of the fact that its beads had to get together in conference occasionally.
Hower Heads for Peru on Second Leg of Tour—Bansan headline. We had been iniboring under the delusion that our next president was a good sailor, but this item seems to indicate that the wild waves have done a little mixing with his anatomical appendages.
Today's Best Editorial
The complaint voiced by eastern golf organizations, that earthworms roughen the putting greens will fall in their path, and pathetic car tires. The rest of it, which is that earthworms ought therefore to be abolished, is very likely to cause damage to the lawn or a such thing. There would be a fisherman to reckon with, of course. These would rise to the last man of And there would be that not incumbent, a man of all kinds which knows that earthworms are an important part of the great, creative plan, their duty and destinies he will find in the earth and make it more fruitful.
GOLF VERSUS EARTHWORMS
Todav's Best Editorial
—Portland Oregonian
The tunnelings of earthworms ventilate the soil and make it more richer in nutrients, and are bringing the school to the surface when rain and weather may work their beneficial will with it. Though the worm's exoskeleton is fatigable, and there are some ather attaching computations on he amount of soil so treated by earthworms, they can do much during a single season. Somehow or other, grand game though it is, we should manage to get along without it, and earthworms can go along without earthworms.
Seri Indians, of Tribe Long Isolated Are Trying White Men's Civilization
Mexico City, Dec. 7—The Sori Indian, a strange race that has stand-
stantly apart from civilization, has at least compromised with the white man.
The Seri are a Mexican tribe, clinging to a barren patch of Sonora coast and Tijuana in the Gulf of California. They are a disappearing race, neglected by science, and as an isolated as a lower colony by their own reputation, which has accused them of every crime from horse-stealing to from their repeated animal wielding to Christianity, but they remain today unattached by white man's religion.

Spanish priests tried to tempt them down out of their appalling granite shields to live in a town built specially for them, but the town went to want to keep them away.
"Inside Stuff"
When is wrestling just "pussiness"? Objection was taken by Coach Baumann of the University wrestling team. It called for a training of a student who was injured "while wrestling". It developed that wrestling was being done in a gym class.

The Insider still maintains that the Kannan was right, but admits that the McCain was wrong. The jurored person was wrestling, but perhaps it was just "washing" wrestling. At any rate, the Kannan might have been wearing a gym class, and thus have prevented renders from connecting the regular wrestling class with the event in any way.
Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan:
Consider the south wing of Frances Hall: Antiquated, narrow, winding wooden stairs; the west outside door, and the north stair; the other half stair, above, on the second floor, "To five escape, wall of chapel?" and the door of the cloak always looked! Fire? No, well, why! Old Crab

The French have the right idea—they are attempting to establish a school of galápagos. If they do, there'll be another swimming contest with the ones seeking to compete at the Olympics how to bite a man's hand!
Since the feminine declaration of humanity, men have taken women at night words. A mistaken attitude of men toward has resulted. A child of their mother from a gentleman that her grandmother demanded from her "beam." How great is the disappointment of the modern girl when she must stand up and face the world unless while her hats remain glued to their respective crowns.
Before children can be home taught, however, it's necessary to find some time when they're at home. —IndianaPoll News
Joe College comes on the scene and shakes his girl friend on the back hard enough to told her ancestors he is a lawyer. He has. "I am—and bow!" Lucky is in, if he does not get a swifte look to the jail. Girls are strong but they still need a rage and courtesy from those of the opposite sex.

THE ROUND PEG
Every now and then someone tells it that it were better for the college if those who found it hard to never want further than trying to write it did not try to write, and those who appeared unfitted to attend college never did so. No doubt there is something in all that But ... then... who can write and those who can write and there are those who appear fitted to attend college and do so, and yet while they do not (and afterward) are bothered by the monuments of innate erudition, machines for sorting little knowledge to the human mind may assimilate the need or demands.
The business psychologist claims that he would class men and women according to their capacities. The more capable a person is, the easier it will be, efficiency, taking mindkick as a whole. We would have brainy men using their brains, brawny men using their muscles, and intelligent people actively would be classified and no longer would the misfit blunder on, or the man of capacities wasting his time through life. That is if force were applied so that it would be a privilege and a duty to make use of one's abilities rather than them toward the best ends. But without a horse, or Perhaps, a cart and not the horse, part of each and not enough of either to make college easier without a horse. Or p

Teacher Attempts Contacts
The new Michigan rural-school system, with, has some difficulty, succeeded through a teacher who lived on the ridge of Seri territory as a boy. Although he was their friend, they shifted at being together at first, reorganized, and then were no roads, water events in but few places, and food is scarce and has to be caught for the most part, so school with the Seri is not like school without it, or even a permanent meeting place, no schedule or program. Men, women and children get together for a period of time, as long as convenient, food and water supply provided lasts.
But there have already been results. Some of the Indians are building themselves indo houses for the first time, and are wearing better clothes than before. There are a variety of dugongs they own in a small group of dugong boats and have built about forty kilometers of road, the first in their land. But civilization takes a price, and most of them of this disappearing race may be too responsible to be interesting.
Seris Are Hardy Race
Weeded out by natural selection is a dry barren country and aided by their own customs according to which they are said to sacrifice their wintings. The Seri today are an ex-tourist destination that have been recorded showing that men are six feet tall and women about 5 feet 8 inches. place them among the tall people of the world. Their height is used as a measure of the work but fighting and hunting. The men are armed runners, and outrun their prey. They hunt with bows and arrows, and fish with nets that can be attached to have a remarkable knowledge of fish and animals and their habits, of tides and winds and weather, and it is more with skill than weapons that the sea trachoceros, and tuna, teachroachers, and tupelo fishermen. They have evolved a special sort of unimaginable island in which they visit the various island in search for eggs, marine birds, iguanas, and nummies. Their typical garment is a sheet made of pelican skins with the features still on, sewed together with丝线, and held on around the waist of the female. Their cheeks in the family pattern. Seri families have no regular meals, but when there is food they eat continually, getting up many times in
**Owen Aud With Music**
They have to adapt to a primitive sort of music which the women help to make. The male dancers have rattles on their legs, and without ever moving the body they can't dance without and body from the waist down with extraordinary rapidity, keeping time to the music with the feet, blut keeping the head so immovable that from the dancers cannot be told from spectators.
They have occupied their island and strip of coast since time immemorial.
