University Entomologists Join Force of 200 Federal Scouts In Corn Borer Infested Area
Eight Kansas University men of the department of entomology were sent out by the federal government to investigate the areas infected by the European corn borer. The corn borer, believed to be the main pest of Hungary in broom corn during the year 1817, has spread to such an extent that universities and colleges are out under the employment of the government to trace the spread of the insect.
The men from the University who were sent out this past summer are: Howard Dean, M. A. 271; Leonard McGraw, M. A. 268; Sam Dawn, c:25; Albert James, c:28; George Gould, A. B. 27; Ralph Kaufman, B. 27; and Bernard Lenton, c:28.
The men first reported to L. B. 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 infested areas in order that they might learn to identify infested stalks of corn.
In order to arrive at the percentage of stalks inserted in each field 500 and 1000 stalks were taken from each hundred stalks were taken from each corner and 100 from the middle of each field. In the same way five field strips are inserted from each corner and one in the middle. The data has not yet been com- mitted because there is no township has become greater or less,
James was first sent to Pennsylvania, but later went to New York to do percentage work. By percentage calculations the percentage of the Indiana fieldwork was paired with the percentage infected the year before.
Mathes, who went to Ohio, is still working as scout fornament under the supervision of J. D. Kempur, a former Kansas State Agricultural College.
The rest of the University men were sent to Indiana. Denva was made supervisor for that state. At one time during the summer he had 26 crowds and was given a direction. Goodl and Denvs were made foreman of a man in Indiana.
One crew scouted each township that had been quarantined but where no corn borers had been found. The other crew scouted the territory also were scouted. One part of an infested field was all the evidence of corn borers that was needed to be tested and to make certain that the insects that were found were corn borers, the specimens were sent to the government laboratory in Chicago, Ohio, for identification.
Proof that the corn borer is spread
Sod Becomes Beautiful When Secret Is Found
Did you ever stop long enough to study the newly laid soil in front of the new audiotrium—or sed anywhere for that matter—because soil is sod and anywhere it's interesting discovered the little secret about it!
ing in Indiana is revealed in the fact that by Oct. 1, 98 newly infected residents of Indiana are now directing their stewardship mainly to fields along main highways leading out of the infested area and to the corn borer. The corn fields along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers from Georgia through Ohio are the state of Mississippi are also being scouted to determine whether new infestations will enter new territories by high waters.
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 spread all over and has covered one-half of the state of Pennsylvania.
Margaret Foney, M. A., 27 is now technician of the chemical pathology department of Northwestern University medical school, Chicago.
Most of us pass it by with hardlair a glance — our sense sensations carke the news to our heads — "ad-up"ugly the grass grows together and there'll be a nice green lawn." But here's the secret of it all—we've had sod is beautiful grass! We develop the imagination! Next time you pass the new auditorium, pause long enough to discover the secret for another world try to create it in other words try to create it in this state that the secret is revealed. You'll imagine yourself a huge giant and the freshly cut grass marked off and all ready for buildings to be erected. A little white blades of grass located in the right place serve the purpose. If you watch close enough — and all it in the way you approach it — if you believe in fairies—the use of imaginative, pessimistic sort of person and scaffold at the all="you will see is "odd—ugly, ugly god—unimaginative thing in the world."
Congress appropriated $10,000,000 for corn borer control work in 1926 and likewise each state in the infected states has made large appropriations.
Government scouting work was first undertaken in Massachusetts in 1918, when quarantine lines were established to check artificial spread.
The European corn borer, which in
habit has a larvae the moth, Pyralus and
the earwig, is the fourth of four
fourth of an inch thick. It has a
brown or black head and a grayish
tail.
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 side of the leaves, boring through the leaves into the corn stalk.
The borer becomes full grown about the middle of August. It winters in April and returns to life in May it changes to the pupa stage. The moth comes out about the last week of May.
Clothes That Satisfy
In order to control the spread of this European corn borer the federal government has issued a destruction of the corn stalk by plowing under, burning, or cutting the stem.
in the spring of 1927 the farmers in the infested areas were compelled to clean up the corn stalks. It has also been commented that but never before enforced.
The federal government does not have jurisdiction over the states, but helps in the control work by furnishing men and money to help enforce laws.
More than two hundred scouts were employed by the federal government last summer in scout work.

Varsity Attracts Two Who Preferred Theater
It was Saturday evening following the Angie game and the boys' dates were—well, they were not from Bayside. The girls would be a much greater success in the dim light of a theater or along a staircase. They would be lights of the Varsity dance that night the boys put on the stall that there were variety when K. U. we beaten.
The girls refused to believe that K. U. students never dance and invaded them to go the hall "wherever it is" and make sure there was nothing doing. Being freshman and not journalist, they had not learned to read the Kanun.
Believing the dance would, of course, be at F.A. U., they finally, reluctantly, switched to a more muscular nuismium, "just to prove they weren't lying when they said there was nothing wrong."
The boys' hearts sank when they the car came along on the Moon, but the cat panted back on the Moon once. One bravely approached the ticket window and asked, "What's going on here, now?"
London, Oct. 23. — Whales make the smallest subsurface box exceedingly small and are known for carding to R. W.

Their noses have a harbor is known to whale.

This example of how emotions bring about intense unusual activity in animals was described yesterday afternoon in a paper sent by Prof. Heuri Pieron, of the University of Paris, and read before the American Association for the Study of Wittenberg College to discuss the problem of emotions.
From the amoeba, one of the simplest, tiniest forms of animal life, an upright, squirming creature with feelings, the French psychologist said. Even purely mental action is man, which we call thought, is regular and often bizarre; our feelings become sufficiently intense so that there is an abnormal distress, the emotional stage is reached.
In emergencies, this nervous energy gives the animal or man greater power to fight or flee. But the after effect is nervous exhaustion, and tempiereousness. The machinery, Professor Pieron said. In a man, if he is highly emotional

"Oh. That Lovely Sunset!"
As Daylight Fades in the West the Splendor of the Brightly Hued Sky Enthaults Woman Student, Who Echoes Watches the Last Rags Disappear
(The following is a monologue, addressed by a trick minded girl) to a group of her friend
"My dares, have you seen the sunset? I have never in my life seen anything so gorgeous! If we were over in Mary's room we could see it from the window. Why, the sun is just like a huge ball of fire suspended above the horizon.
—by Professor Raymond Eastwood
"Today has seemed to me like an illustration of that line from Shakespeare—you know, the one that goes, "Oh, what is so rare as a day in June," and the sunset this evening is climbing climbs." And so does the sun are casting over everything a mellow light that is like liquid amber.
"The western sky looks just like a beautiful painting—the kind that Maxfield Parrish does, you know. Law on the horizon that overlooks the sea and the border that she shade into lavender, and soften, and then into bright blue. Why, when I first caught a glimpse of it, I fairly held my breath for fear."
"I hope I am not boring you but really don't just you love sleepiness." I remember once when I was in Colorado, I was up on a high mountain at sunset. I mean, I was near the top of the mountain, you know, and the sight simply held me spellbound. There was the sun, reminding a great fern that it had over the top of old pine trees. And in the sky were indescribable—the colors in the lovesthest rainbows imaginable could not compare with them.

"Some people do not appreciate nature, you know. I suppose maybe it is because they have no artistic restraint, but admire everything, whether it is artificial or natural. I met a woman who came to me when I asked her what she admired about them, she said, "Oh, it was just the way the sun sank—it was so awful-impiring, and made us think of a higher power." Imagine! "After all, there is not that sun kills you full of life," she said. The sun stick—if it did not ink we would have daylight all the time, just like they had in that Eskimo book about a beautiful girl named Tholma, you know. I simply devoured that book; it wasn't that hard, but it set, though, that impresses me, and inspires me. Sometimes I have the most indefinable feeling of loneliness when I look at a sunset, and great tears will roll down my cheeks, just on account of the sheer beauty and majesty of it.

are looking at the same sunset. It makes you feel as though you are a kindred spirit with all mankind. I forget, though, that when it is sunset, people in our town and other half, so I suppose when we are having a lovely sunset, those people in the other half of the world are having dawn. We really know so very little about them—the people who were born during the same thing about "How to the other half lives?"
"I suppose we will never know the difference in a hundred years from now, but I feel that I am missing a part of life now if I miss a single sunset. Of course the sun never really misses setting, you know, but I feel that I am missing the sunset if I am not standing on the deck at the last day of the sun, until every trace of color has faded on the evening sky.
"Summites are very lovely out in western Kansas, because there are no hills to obstruc the view. Yet I can't imagine anything like this on the mountains of Colorado. Really, you know, there is something incredibly beautiful about every sunset. Don't you just love lovely sunsets."

Which Coffin for Marty
Clude Lamphier Buys a $12 Casket for the Old Man That Made Him Milk! Clude Lamphier Buys Hes Clothes in Denver, and He Is the King of Tincaps.
"Tinup can be to one of the biggest mining towns on the western slope. That's all gone now. There is nothing left but the mountains, rocks and pine trees, rotating cabins, sinking矿洞 tunnels, traditions, and ghosts that have been lost for years for the mountain railroads and a few prospectors left from the older days pick at the rocks in the vain hope of 'stirring it rich.'
"Clyde Lampher did strike it. The story just came out last spring. In fact, Clyde made his find in a most peculiar way, too. Nothing to his credit, the natives say. However, he heralded the idea that all of his wife buys all her clothes in Denver. Do you remember her? Used to wait tables at the Blue Jay mine? Mountainters are smart, though. Not one of them speaks to Clyde—just the two own half of the suite. Now the natives buy all their supplies at the other store.
"Old Marty Unathumb grew up in Tincap. He came into this world broke and never had a thing when he died. But that's no disgrace in this town. Look at Clyde Lamphier. He has everything. Marty was a prospector and a right smart one, too. Never did make his money though. His wife, Lena, made all the money she earned. She cooked and swept and took in washin' so that old Marty could have enough money to go on in his 'bole.' It's a shame about her.
"Mart couldn't afford drills and the like, and only an occasional box of dynamite. He put that whole tunnel in with 'hand power', That is, he drilled with a sledge and a poker. We don't know how many times Worked for seven years and never complained to a soul. We didn't see much of 'lm. He couldn't come into town without a horse. Lennie came into town about once a week. She's always ordered the same; a side of 'sow in a aack of flock. Mighty sim dims, I call 'em mls."
"Mart run that old bole hack about twelve hundred foot. Didn't strike aike. There was a few pockets of low grade ore. There didn't seem to be a vein in the whole mountain. Marty kept at his diggin's though. He and Lemus looked awful bad.
"One day old Marty went out and never came back. Lenny said that he hadn't planned on goin' to the mine but was goin' to hunt for him, so he brought her the dog low for the old boy. We looked in his mine and there was a little cave in and we figured he was under that. Lenny said "no," Marty had stopped working" since his back bothered him. He went home all right, but lost her mind. She wasn't safe,
