City Streets Dangerous
City streets rangers In discussing the work to be done in the field, and the need for such work, Ms. Stevens and rapid growth of cities in the past 20 years and the lack of systematic plans for such growth, coupled with the almost universal use of the automobile, have combined to make the streets of many cities both inconvenient and dangerous.
"The older cities must spend millions on replacing if they are to remain in shape," said the governor of convenience, he said, "and every city that is growing must see to it that its newer growth is planned to meet these twentieth-century traffic demands."
Kansas Leads in West
Kansas Leans in West

"There have been an unnatural number of calls for salesmen for this summer's work. This work includes such work as selling maps, Bibles silk stocking, aluminum ware, magic tricks and other descriptive descriptions," Maxwell said.
Anyone interested in such work should impire at the Y. M. C. A. office and prepare a schedule to show them what work to do for work, according to Maynard. A number of students listed themselves for work has fall, but have not made out their schedule for this spring, so they must be unable to call those students.

Prof. U, G. Mitchell will lead the discussion at the meeting of the Beta Chi Sigma, Monday afternoon, May 9, on the subject, "What to Do and Not to Do with Statistics in Psychology."
