"I itsty satire, pathetic ivy and theatrical force make it one of the most amusing plays over put on by the club; which is saying quite a bit."
The story begins by presenting a family in which the youngest, a young man, is looked upon and created by the other members of the family as a footstool. Through the images, she learns with her own ideas about things, he rises in the family extreme and finally asserts himself.
The play is one of the great works of Philip Barry, and the characterization of family life which playwright Harrah has realized in this manuscript has rarely been equaled. His opinion of Profor Calderow.

F. C. Cappon Resumes Duties at Michigan as Assistant Coach
Other Football Staff Members Have Not Announced Any Future Plans
Louis Morgan, Fifth Grandson Of 17th Century Buccaneer Begins Search for P pirate Loo
Franklin C. Cappon, University end football coach, whose resignation was accepted by the Board of Trustees on Tuesday, this week, will return to the University of Michigan coaching staff next year to replace Harry Kipson, associate vice president, on Monday. On Wednesday, Cappon confirmed the announcement when interviewed yesterday, declaring that he did not have any involvement in the time when he resigned here.
According to dispatches from Ann Arbor, Mich., the announcement must be sanctioned by the board of control at Michigan State University. "I closed this deal a week ago," Cappon said. He made no statement concerning his new position as assistant to Head Coach Wyman at Michigan State University in April, fall when football practice begins.
Michigan is Cappon's alma mater. He was prominent in athletics during his four years in school there and after graduating assumed the same position he will return this fall. He was assistant coach of foot ball there in 1925.
The action of the three other members of the K. U. staff who resigned with Cappon is not known yet, as well as their intentions for the coming year.

San Francisco, Dec. 10.—That romance and a dashing spirit of adventure is not dead in the American prose. Ms. Morgan, who received thousands of letters being received daily by Louis Morgan, fifth grandson of Sir Henry Morgan, 17th century
Morgan today is preparing for a year's expedition to the coast of Baikal, where she will be studying a constellation of 8,000 pieces of eight, many sacks of Spanish doubloons and a bode of gold stolen from the city. She is also building a treasure of that town in 1761. The treasure was buried in a swamp in a park near the city's City on the Chamne Bay by seven of Sir Henry's shives who were afterwards shot on the theory that "dead bodies" could be preserved.
No. 74
The little 42 foot ketch rigged yacht "Saxon" will carry a crew of five, four of whom already have been named. Aboard is the captain, who will consist of his wife, Mrs Mabell Morgan; Captain Avid Pearl Morgan; an intrepid navigator, Charles Hoyle.
To Carry Crew of Five
When it become known that the fifth member of the party had not yet been decided upon, Morgan letters came from old romancers. Morgan came from old romancers, debairn young adventurers ready for any escapade, and from persons who know of other members of the party. To finish this information to Morgan if he will take them along.

Girl Volunteers as Cook
Girl Volunteers as Cook
One letter came from a 17-year-old girl in Sharon, Pa., who volunteered for the treasure hunt. "She was going to take her along until Mrs. Morgan heard of it," Morgan said jocularly.
Another letter was received from A. Williams, who was hired by the British government to find a place during the war with $30,000,000 in her hold. Williams located the ship with a "divining rod" which he offers to use
The grizzled old sefarer is staking his money and basing his hopes on an old parchment chart handed down
from generation to generation in the Morgan family. Ten years ago his father, Franklin Pearce Morgan, who is now a practicing attorney in Victoria, Texas, found the chart in an old trunk which had been sent from the plantation near Birmingham, Ala., and lived after they came from Wales.
Chart Given to Son
He gave it to his son whose new imagination immediately was fired. Work began at once. It took three years to build a boat, only to find that it was not seaworthy. Unable to keep up, he began on another boat, the Saxon, having learned a good many things about building boats by his first errors. Not after seven years of continued industry and hard work, the boat is now owned by a family that will be ready to start the first part of January.
Tried waterfront reporters drop down in the little cabin of the Saxon on rainy afternoons where a pot of whisky and a jug of coffee and cigarettes they talk with Morgan of the days when the bad, bald pirates were in their heyday. They take them out to the wide sea lanes in search of plunder; little saucy ships defying every whim of the elements and attacking armed men o' war and purchanents.
The Saxon—as daftly a little craft as will be shown on any stretch of the railway line, it is built out *g* 'o mutton sail and will have an auxiliary 48-hippower motor to be driven.
Old Sea Reef is a dreamer
Undoubtedly a dreamer. Yet there is a streak of persistence and practicability in him that he doesn't let his face overtembern face lights up benignly when he talks of pirates and buccaneers, of hidden treasures.
Even the timbers of the cabin which he is building have had their romance. They sailed around the horn in 1849 on ships in search of California gold and now they are once again on a ship seeking gold.
FAMILIES
A little remembrance from those who are more fortunate will mean much to these families:
Number 1
This family is temporarily deprived of the father the mother works, and the mother the father works. Sure even that the children will be fed. The two older children are parental.
The oldest, a girl of 14, would like a pair of warm wool coat, size 8 or 10, and a skirt. She would also wear junior size shirts, and a book would gladden his heart. The two little girls of 20 would love a box of handkerchiefs. The 5-year old boy needs stockings; and he wants a toy car, dress, but she wants a doll very much. If the mother had the material she could this little maid have a doll?
Number 2
In this family the father is an invalid. The mother takes in washing which she has to do by hand; she has no machine.
There is a girl of 15 who needs bloomers and stockings; and every one knows that a girl of 15 wants something pretty for Christmas. The boy of 12, who is large for his age, has a book that a book would make him happy, too.
Group Selects Scholars
Many Rhodes Students Chosen From University
Three changes have been made in the methods of closing Bledsoe schoolars from Kauai since 1904 when the headmaster, according to Mr. Strong, was
These methods did not work very well either so another change was made. This time the committee was made up of four Rhodes scholars with Doctor Strong as chairman, and now for some time and the results have shown that this latter method has done better than any of the others.
"Fat" Murray, A. B., b' 04, the first to be chosen from the University, was the first of a long line of men, for, certainly, he had our share of them."
The first committee to choose the Rhodes scholars was made up of the chair, who was Doctor Strong, and the president of each two denominational college in the state, proved rather unsatisfactory, so a change was made in the committee. Again this time the change involved the addition of the additional members were the state superintendent of buildings and construction, which are the president of the Agricultural College at Machanium and the president of our denominational college.
Miss Maria Russ, secretary of the University Y. W. C. A., announces that she has a few requests for women to fill positions during the holidays. If any of the women students at the university are interested in these positions they should communicate with Miss Russ at once.
The sophomore class of Stanford University will present "Expressing Will" as their play for the year.

MAKE IT A TRUE CHRISTMAS
Because the Kansan does not want any child in Lawrence to wake to an empty chair on Christmas morning, and because it believes a good many students would like to bring Christmas happiness to some child whom Christmas hopes are so easily fulfilled, it is telling the public about three families, with fourteen children in all, about whom it learned from the mayor's Christmas tree committee. If these are provided for some others will be presented. There are many children in Lawrence who will have a Christmas only through the kindness of some friendly person or group.
To simply warm clothing to the children is one of the purposes of the Kansan's efforts. Clothing, even clothing a little warm, is usable. Shoes with good soles and uppers can also be used, if they are the right size; and, too, a few contributions of small change will buy new ones. Nearly all of these children need stockings—and the little girls do love those warm plaid wool ones. Perhaps you have some clothes you do not use that are bunging in your closet. Bring them out. They represent a Christmas to somebody.
But what is Christmas morning without toys and candy? Have you ever been in the ten cent store just before the holidays? If you haven't, go down tomorrow and watch the excitement and look at the eager eyes of these little children to whom Santa Claus is not a reality but a far-off myth. A dollar's worth of toy—a fire engine, a doll, a box of blocks; you were once a child—will warm the heart of any yummester.
Boxe' for contributions will be placed in the window of the University business office in central Administration building and in the business office of the Kansai. Any one wishing to make contributions or donations may see Richard Harkness during the 9:30 period in the Kansan room or if that hour is not convenient, call at the Kansan office any time. There will be someone there to take whatever you have to offer.
If a person or group wishes to take complete charge of a child or a family, the Kannan will be glad to have that done and will give all possible help about it. There could be no finer thing to do at this season than for an organization to give a real Christmas to a little boy or girl.
It will soon be Christmas. There are many who are not so fortunate as you. There are little children who have not much to keep them warm and little real nourishing food—and none at all of the toys and candy which to a child are a part of every real Christmas.
Helen F. Bone, A. B. 26, is teaching home economics and mathematics in the high school at Le Roy.
FAMILIES
There are seven children. The father is a self-rapeting workman, but his weekly wage is less than $20. The mother can wait to be joined until her to go out to work nor even to look after her housework altogether; but she is a good seewoman and can take care of the food, paper of material out of which clothing for the children could be made. Some of the children are taught to tric washing machine on installations and she was able to increase the family income somewhat, but the pay was not up and the machine had to go back.
The oldest child, a girl of elven, is a plucky little helper. She mothers the six children and just now does her chores herself. She chuses struggling with a crippled cook stove. She needs stackings, size eight; and she would like some real bread to eat. At all, (although she keeps the substitutes she uses very clean). She doesn't ask for anything else, but she will book be a neat thing to give hot?
The second child is a boy of nine.
He needs stockings, size 8, and shoes.
He also needs a baseball cap.
He been a boy of 9 will know of something else that would make him
The third boy is 7. He would like a sled; or any other toy. The 5-year-old boy wants a ball, and the 3-year-old boy wants a toy truck—(what a lot of these things there are in the ten-cent store) and the baby boy, 14 months old, likes to push around about Christmas yet, but that doesn't mean he couldn't get some fun out of a toy.
Rifle Practice Continues

The firing will continue about two weeks after the Christmas holidays before the first elimination.

Prof. Henry E. Laurenis of Tulane University Gives Address Friday
A woman student of the Ames University who lost a bet to her gentleman friend was gracious enough to pay. The bet had a "movie" as a forfeit. The girl called for the boy, occured him with a bottle and after the show took him to a nearby chocolate shop and bought the drinks.
Biological Properties of Light Was Subject of Lecture by Physiologist
The conclusion that ultra violet radiation increases the resistance of animals and man to all infections is not materially supported by recent reports, according to Professor Henry E. Laurens of the department of physiology of Tulane University who spoke Friday at 4:30 p.m. in her "Biological Properties of Light."
"The common belief that the radiation of light from the sun and sky causes cloud formation is the ultimate void fraction may be as it has been demonstrated in only a few instances, such as the core and dust of rockets," said Prof. Kenneth Laurens.
"The idea of the health giving proportion of the sun bath is not now," he said, in referring to the Greeks and Romans as having "extensively as a general health measure," but there was no clear scientific definition of the relationship between sunlight and disease. The latter years of the 19th century, "Since then, never," he said, "it has been established that light treatment is excellent for surgical tuberculosis and can be extended to general health; also skin diseases, chronic anemias, nutritional weakness and the debilitation following acute infections diseases are greatly benign."
The fact that sunlight contains varying amounts of UV radiation, the locations was brought back by Professor Laurene, "Sunlight at sea level contains from 1 to 1 per cent of UVA."
In concluding his speech, Professor Laurens said, "Although the scientist Hartley believes ultra violet rays injure bacteria in the food chain to infection by increasing the bacteriological power of the blood, we still stand in need of facts obtained under definite controlled conditions of normal and abnormal organisms."
