Entomology Assistant Agrees With Kipling That Females Are More Destructive Than Males
Kipling in one of his poems, affirms that the female of the species is more deadly than the male, and so also does Robert Guntert, assistant in the entomology office, maintain the species in which the species is more destructive than the male.
"On an average, about two-thirds of the specimens handled by the entomology classes are destroyed," said Mr. Guntert, "and most of them are destroyed by the women." Aked to their destructive nature, his instructive, Mr. Guntert said, "Well, guess they are more careless, and then maybe they don't know how to handle them." He paused a moment, gazed out the window, then turned back in a few seconds with an illuminated flashlight on him. An infidential manner, "You know women always have those danglers on their sleeves and in reaching for a certain bag their danglers are apt to catch several others." Mr. Guntert was bound to find some excuse for his friends whose number is legion.
Women are not as careful about mounting their collections, and making their bugs look decent, he explained "and they ask for more help from me, but I guess men are more independent in matters like that."
conversation lagged for a few minutes, and Robert again gagged out the window over his gold rimmed apachets and distractedly shuffled a
Leg-of-Mutton Sleeves of Mother Originated in days of Knighthoo
Dude Princess and Beau Nobles Insisted That Hardware
Fit Clothes
(Business Service)
New York, March 18
The balloon sleeves that she wore the last word in female finery in the leg-of-mutton era when mother was a girl, have nothing on a pair of hugh puffed, engraved and gilded sleeves of armor recently required by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The evolution of medieval armor followed along lines comparable to that followed by some prehistoric monsters who developed horns, teeth and fins to the point where ungainly supervised usefulness, according to Bashford Dean, curator of art at the British Museum, half of the 18th century, armor had begun to follow the outlines of the current fads of fashion. Clothes were no more designed to fit under the armor, but the armor was made to fit the clothes. Foolish princelings and affluent nobles insisted that armors be fitted around their immense sleeves and abbreviated oxygen bags, he explained.
Westminster Forum Schedule Changed Slightly
Porter Will Lead Meeting
The newly acquired pieces are thought to have come originally from the Radiziv family, an ancient line of princes that held land near the city of Radiziv. The date back to around 1525. This opinion is strengthened in Mr. Dean's estimation by their remembrance to a richly engraved backplate from the same source whose fine workmanship is preserved on the sleeves.

The next meeting of the Young People's forum at Westminster hall will be held next Sunday at 7 p. m.
Pau Robert will speak on "Our Unchristian Industry" and the meeting will be led by Stanley Engle.
"About how many bags are collected in a year, and about how many cars used in the classes?" asked the reporter.
The next few meeting areas are to be changed from the order in which they were announced. On March 27, the general topic will be "What Christian Policy in Latin America Would Be Like." Prol. H. B. Chubb of political science will speak. Roy Skaggle will be the meeting leader.
On April 3 the general topic will be "Is War Christian?" Christian Pacifism will be discussed by Tod Shults, and Prof. Dalmor Alter will speak on "Pauseful Preparedness." The meeting will be led by James Hays.
The meeting on April 10 on "The Meaning of the Cross to Life" will be the last of a series of meetings talk sessions. Where is Jesus in Guide for Life?
"I think I are safe in saying that about eight or ten thousand are collected, and about that many are used for school. We teach dance classes. You know after the bugs are collected, they have to be mounted and classified. I do much of that work so you can see I don't need any time to sleep while I'm at the beach."
MacDowell Initiation Postponed
The MacDowell Club initiation, which was to have taken place last night, war postponed. The club will take action. The initiation will take place in about two weeks, according to Anna Lloyd Voights, fa27.

summaged the reporter.
"You bet I do," he emphatically declared. "I reserve eight hours outside of office hours for sleeping, but even at that he unsuccessfully stifled a yawn and looked for all the world as if to hide extra ansee would be misinterpreted.
At times Guntner's talk sounded as though women were almost everything they ought not to be. They were destructive, unwilling, in unity, in untouchability of ontology; at least, but his last statement was as balm to the abused and incured female, when he said, "I believe on the average the woman is the better student. She spends more time in study, she doesn't keep such into hours as men."

Treasury Officials Estimate This Year's Surplus at Half Billion
Washington, March 18. "The federal income tax in isdeed to be reduced at least" 25 per cent, according to reliable indications today.
Republican leaders here today have decided that political and economic conditions necessitate a tax raise before the next presidential election.
Soon after Congress convened in December Secretary of the Treasury Melton said that the treasury surplus this year would exceed $500,000,000 which will be applied to retirement of the funds. This is an issuing much of the taxes collected. Next year the surplus will be used for reduction.
The Democrats knew this was coming and attempted at the session of congress just closed to force through legislation a government fiscal year does not terminate until June 30. Republicanis, therefore, argued that it would be unwish to deal with the nation's finance budget because it exactly what the surplus would be.
The Democrats charge that Republicans were holding off tax reduction until just before election to capitalize on the political effect.

Arkansas Farm Is "Gold Mine" to Chicago Colored Boys When Inherited Land Produces Oil
Chicago, March 18. The second- rate soil of a small Arkansas farm has turned to gold for two small college boys who until a few weeks ago lived untransitively in the Chicago Negro district.
(United Press)
Oil wells on their mother's farm, which they inherited when she died three years ago in Cameroon, Ark. are producing an income of $12,000 a month such for Arthur and John Sevill, 8 and 10 years old respectively.
Arthur Sewell, father of the young millionaires, came to Chicago after their mother's death and later married again. He worked in a factory. Debts accumulated faster than he could meet them.
As a result he negotiated a loan of $100 on the Cameron farm. The mortgage came due and he had nothing with which to pay it. The farmer was outraged and vantagled of a sum which the wells are now producing in a few hours.
The father of the lucky youths has decided they will not be "spoiled" by their money.
"I won't permit them to live it up if I can help it," he said. "They will have the finest education the world has to offer, but they will have to learn to work and appreciate their money.
Sewell was able to borrow enough to save his boys' property from the firm for which he worked, however, because of oil and snow wealth followed.
"I've thought a lot about sending them to Africa when they grow up. I think intelligent coloured men could have the best of both worlds, medicines and other members of the race."
Seewell has made no effort to establish title to a portion of the farm on his own account.
"It belongs to the kids," he ex plained, "and I won't take any of it by going into court about it."
