University Entomologists Join Force of 200 Federal Scouts In Corn Borer Infested Area
19
Eight Kansas University men of the department of entomology were sent out by the federal government last summer to do scouting work in the areas infected by the European spider mite. The men have to have been brought from Italy or Hungary in broom corn during the year 1917, has spread to such an extent that every year entomologists from Universities and colleges are trained to develop a government to trace the spread of the destructive insect.
The men from the University who were sent out this past summer are Charles Tullah, c. 219; Ciarice Hoffman, c. 00; Sam Dawn, c. 218; Albert James, c. 28; George Gould, A. B. 27; Ralph Burke, B. B. 27, and Bernard Lisbon, c. 28.
The men first reported to L. H. Worthley, Toledo, Ohio, who was in charge of the bureau of entomological corn borer control work. During their stay of a week in Toledo the men learned that the infested areas in order that they might learn to identify infested stalks of corn.
James was first gent to Pennsylvania vania, but later went to New York to do percentage work. By percentage calculations the percentage of the adults in the fields were compared with the percentage infanted the year before.
an order to arrive at the percentage of stakes infested in each field 500 and 100, respectively. Hundred stakes were taken from each corner and 100 from the middle of each field. In the same way five fields were taken from each corner, and from each corner and one in the middle. The data has not yet been compiled. This township has become greater or less
Mathes, who went to Ohio, is still working as an acronym under the supervision of J. D. Kimport, a former Kansas State Agricultural College.
The rest of the University men were sent to Indiana. Deny was made supervisor for that state. At one time during the summer he had 26 crewes of four men and two women, Deny were each made formerman of a crew in Indiana.
One crew scouted each township that had been quantitated but where no corn borers had been found. The crew also found two other territory were also scouted. One part of an infested field was all the evidence of corn borers that was needed to prevent further spread. The crew to make certain that the insects that were found were corn borers, the specimens were sent to the government for identification, Ohio for positive identification.
Proof that the corn borer is spreading.
Sod Becomes Beautiful
When Secret Is Found
Did you ever stop long enough to study the newly lied sod in front of the new auditorium—or sod anywhere for that matter—because sod is sod and anywhere it's interesting and wherever it discovered the little secret about it!
Indiana is involved in three largest intact flooded inland townships were found in 14 counties. Scouts are now directing their attention mainly to fields along main roads and areas where flooded areas can see if tourists have spread the corn borer. The corn fields along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers from rivers in western Indiana are the state of Mississippi are also being scouted to determine whether there are any new territories by high waters.
Most of us pass it with hardy, a glance—our sense sensations carry the news to our heads—"sod"—ugly sod. We grow together—and there'll be a nice green lawn." But here's the secret of it all—welly laid sod is beautiful yourself. The fairies teach you how to develop the imagination! Next time you pass the new auditorium, pause long enough to discover the secret for yourself. The fairies tell you that the directions closely. Close your eyes half-way and gradually open and close them—in other words try to create a dream in yourself. The fairies state that the secrets are revealed. You'll imagine yourself a huge giant and the freshly-landed sod a miniature tree that state the secret is revealed. You'll imagine yourself a huge giant and the freshly-landed sod a miniature tree that state the secret is revealed.

Since the European corn borer was first found in the United States near Boston in 1917 it has spread west to within five townships of Lake Michigan and to the south it has stretched past Columbus, Ohio. In the state of Pennsylvania it has also covered one-half of the state of Pennsylvania.
Margaret Posey, M. A. 92, is now technician of the chemical pathology department of Northwestern University medical school, Chicago.
The European corn borer, which is the larvae of the tooth, Pyraustrea and Pyracantha. It has fourth of an inch thick. It has a brown or black head and a grayish-taupe body.
Government scouting work was first undertaken in Massachusetts in 1918, when quarantine lines were established to check artificial spread. Congress appropriated $10,000,000 for corn borer control work in 1922 and which states the internest territories has made large appropriations.
The moth lays its eggs on the under side of corn leaves, from the third week in June to the middle or last of July, according to climatic conditions. The eggs hatch in from three to seven days and the young berries feed on the underside of the leaves, boring through the leaves into the corn stalk.
Clothes That Satisfy
The borer becomes full grown about the middle of August when the borer in the top right corner of May it changes to the pupal stage. The moth comes out about the last week of August.
In the spring of 1927 the farmers in the infested areas were compelled to clean up the corn stalks. It has alas been commended but never before enforced.
In order to control the spread of
the corn borer, corn borers and
state government officials have
destruction of the corn stalks by plowing
under, burning, or cutting the
corn.
More than two hundred scouts were employed by the federal government last summer in scout work.
Style, Snap, Fit, and Wear go into all of them.
The federal government does not have jurisdiction over the states, but helps in the control work by furnishing them with help to enforce the clean-up measures.
Suiting you is my business
The scouting work will close about Oct. 15. The men from this University have all returned now except Dews and Mathes.

It was Saturday evening following the Angie game and the boys' dates wore—well, they were not from Bryan High School. So would be a much greater success in the dim light of a theater or on a stage with an audience. The lights of the Varsity dance that night, the boys put on the stall that there were varies when K. U. was beaten.
The girls refused to believe that K. U. students never dance and insisted that they go to the hall "where it is" and make sure there was nothing wrong then beaten and not journalists, the victims had not learned to read the Kanana.
Believing the dance would, of course be at F.A. U., they finally, reluctantly took the stage. A good nuismum, "just to prove they weren't so stupid," said the dancers during acting at the old stumpground.
London, Oct. 23. - Whales make the stoutest submarine book exceedingly tame when it comes to diving. Acclimatize yourself to the turbulent, they reach depths of 700 to 800 fathoms, or from 4200 to 4800 meters; do not handle them when doomed, as a gradual clopping descent, either, but stand on their noses and go right straight down.

The reply fell like the judge's sentence, "K. U.-Aggie varsity dance. How many tickets please?"
The boys' hearts sank when they saw the cars parked along the Mount Whitney highway, and bravely approached the ticket window and asked, "What's going on here any

Springfield, Ohio, Oct. 22 — A crook fed hered by one elaw and left with food just out of reach of the crowd. But he put a polyp, the crook's most deadly enemy, nearby. The crook was violated with fear. Reaction nacing through its nerves will send a violent shock to the tied claws and the claw will come off, so that the crook can retrieve it.
in Crises
This example of how emotions bring about intense unusual activity in animals was described yesterday afternoon in a paper sent by Prof. Henri Pleron, of the University of New York at Stony Brook, psychologists who are meeting at Wittenberg College to discuss the problem of emotions.
From the anemone, one of the simplest, tiniest forms of animal life, up close, we can see how deeply feelings, the French psychologist said. Even purely mental action in man, which we call thought, is regulated by the emotional state and feelings become sufficiently intense so that there is an abnormal disarray. The emotional stage, the emotional store is reached.

Pirate Gold and Sunken Ships
Two University Students Make Interesting Discovery During Vacation Days This Past Summer
"And on that eve there stood of the bay seven men of war under the English freebooter, Drake, bent on another of his bloodthirsty maraudings. Lieutenant Alfonsine Janssen returned from the Caribbean with goodly rewards of his frays with brother, Spaniards, loaded his booty into one of his four gallows and slipped in the Tens River by night, in every river from the greedy hand of the powerful northern murderer.
The gallon was never heard from again, until years later there turned up in Mobile, one Pierre Réine, a Frenchman who had been a member of its crew. The soldier caught the jaw of his pitch battle between the officers and the crew at a place less than a league above Mobile. The ship, he said, was new shore, and pointing up-tream and nearly around in a bog. The crew had a wreck in an effort to find his cheeks."
From an old history of Fort St. Louis de la Mobile.
The tropical sun was hammering down on a scene of twentieth century industrial activity on the Temas river near Hurricane, Alabama, where gigantic iron ore mines were dug. The earth was to form four.
dations for piers on which to rest a great railroad bridge. "Tip" McGlen, veteran foreman of the gang at one of the beaches,"pitted suddenly to the surface of the river that cuts across it," within the caisson was emptying its stream of muddy sand. Bits of wood were floating about on the surface. Wood that's been soaking at the bottom of a river more or less since the caisson posed to float. It tries to the best practice.
Walter Canfield and Forrest Calvin, students in the University of Kansas spending their vacation in the south, were curious. Canfield's father was superintendent of the construction of the bridge and it began to rain so hard that he had obtained permission to go down into the caisson to investigate.
What they found, forty feet below sea level in the dimly lit interior of the great hollow shell of the caisson, gives room for the fondest flights of imagination. To let Calvin tell the
"After digging around in the sand we could make out the head of a giant dragon, carved of wood and apparently mounted on the prow of the dragon. We were able to get from the dragon-head, which was about the size of a man, was a wooden pole nearly two feet thick at its base. It extended diagonally across the caisin and through to the outer part, where it must have been at least thirty feet long.
The sand-hogs had cut the dragon head and the pole up pretty badly and we couldn't have saved any of the wood anyway for it crumbled when touched. The caisson was cutting through the ship leaving about 15 feet inside. This part was crushed and splintered but appeared to have been very intact, in a golden, as we picture such. Under the dragon's head we found a collection of fancy old jigs and bottles of colored glass in various shapes and pat-
term, all so badly broken that they could not be put together again after we moved them from their resting place in the sand, but that would only add any order to indicate for what they were used."
The most valuable part of the find was a collection of rusty old nails and an old spoontoe. A spoontoe was a sort of long-handed bone-axe, with a spear on the top of it and a sort of handle that is bound by about twelve feet long but the handle broke just like the other wood when we touched it.
It remained, however, for a bearded picturequeen blacksmith of the neighboring town of Bay Minette to dig out a yellowed old history from the quaint pages of which he read the passage given at the beginning of the book. That the sunken ship is the galloon of the ill-fated Senor Alvarado.
There is much to substantiate his claim. The ship discovered at the base of the bell bore the marks of a ship of the century. It and something of the length of time
it had lain there may be judged from the fact that a pier of the old, old dock in Hurricane which has been rotting since the memory of the oldest inhabitant, was found to have been driven through the rotting ship under the river.
Canfield was much interested in the ship and planned to investigate the discovery further and write it up for publication. The big square nails, some of them eight inches long, inside the ship's hull were the Delta Sigma Lambda fraternity house at Lawrence to await the return of the finders.
But Canfield never returned to Lawrence. A few days later, before he had time to write a story of the find he was drowned off Pensacola, Florida while swimming. Calvin narrowly escaped death in rescuing a companion on the same day.
Canfield's father gave the spoontoon to the University in memory of his son. It is in Dynec Museum and the observer may note that the inner edge of the scimitar—the Spaniards razor—was in spite of four centuries of rust. The hammerblows of some unknown black
Waiter and Boot Black Tell of Experiences
Students, Poor Tippers
The tipping habits of University students are fat better developed in the direction of tipping the bottle than of tipping the wafer or boiler-black ones. You can tell by years of standing (and sitting) at a Hill barber shop. He is corroborated by a waiter who gave the name Anonymous and said he was a waiter of several years but no stand-up. He says he has been a fully story of tips was highly interesting.
At the beginning of the year, Mully says, tips for a shoe shine are as scarce as an intelligent Phi Beta Kappa. "As soon as students get near the business, they get stricken with fever and they get recovered till near the end of the semester.
"About Thanksgiving time things ease up and I get rich at the rate of a five cent tip at least every two weeks, but it's not tips I care about. The boys who tip are it. It is funny that we always tip. It's the folks who come to me steadily and pay the dime who make the money for me.
"Do girls pay me many tips? Man! Girls never heard of that kind of tipping. But on the other hand, they never grip. Some men students consider a good gripe an essential part of a good shirt worn when shoes cleaned. Some wear patent shoes which do not require much work.
"Just at this time we don't have many shoes brought in for repair. Everybody has new shoes. But it won't be long now until they're be trolling in here wanting to get a shoe rebuilt and shined and ready to wear that evening."
Alona, alana. Anonymous, the waiter, was less informative. He admitted that on one occasion he was tipped two bits by a student who later returned to claim it, saying he had been tipping the bottle too much to be in his right mind when he left that quarter there.
If asked if slow service was the reason he was never tipped Alonzo replied that such a thing was impossible as only two people had ever starved to die in any cafe he had ever worked in. They were not customers waiting for service, but cooks.
When the reporter inquired how he liked to wait tables a blanket of sadness fell over his face. "I don't," he said, "I'm beginning to lose confidence." Then years and not a table and has ever come yet."
Religion, art and science have equal importance in the field of human behavior. The trouble with the college education is that it becomes so preoccupied with the last two that he neglects the first.

The Alabama State Historical Society has become interested in the find and taken steps toward dredging down to raise the remaining portion of the sunken ship. But until then the piers of the bridge may quiver under the impact of the luxurious Florida limits—perhaps only a few feet away from gleaning pieces of eight and golden doubloons.
