Receding of Rhine River Endangers Big Cathedral
Mayence, March 16.—Lack of forestry by 12th century builders has resulted in cracks in the walls towers or murches of the ancient cannons.
The builders of 800 years ago are apparently not reckon with the possibility that the level of the Rhin would sometimes fall. The pile driven when the cathedral was built served well in supporting the masonry so long as they were in the level water, but due to the inflow of river water the water logged soil and sank and the piles decayed. The wall apparently agged and cracks appeared. Due to possible danger through using the cathedral, the authorities closed it some time ago.
Jayhawk Twisters Make Fools Out of Physicists; Easterners Are Awe-Stricken by Yarns
It is a tradition that persons living east of Pittsburgh, Pa., conceive of Kansas as being a land of wheat, pernish, but mostly a land of perennial torrades. "Kansas cyclones" mean to the catterer not only the rainfall but a bifurcated storm much more awe inspiring than the tropical hurricanes of Florida.
While a day in March spends atop Mt. Oread might tend to convince the one that the easterners are not so far wrong after all, still the fact remains, that many Kannas have never seen a fire storm, that nothing of actually surviving one. The story of the western Kannasopher that was busy at work 30 feet in the air digging a burrow in the dust is probably not true, but it is a fact that there is a farm in the area enough wind to rule three windmills.
It is not the whoppers, however, which make the Bostonians look at Kansas as the land of eternal storm but the true stories which characterize them.
One does not have far to seek to find such "breezing along with the breezes" stories. For instance, who has ever heard of a storm which struck whitened streets out of the newly made stack and drove them through the weatherboarding of the newly made farmer's house? It could be that the storms would "accompass a feel like that."
Then there is the "true story" of the tortoise that tore a twainy-four-bearing name of a railroad off a box car stranding on a sliding, and carry-yourself staircase. The tortoise is neatly it nearly by a yawning caller's ear. A farmer who specialized in chicken

German Club Has Meeting

raising was the victim of another tornado which visited him late one summer evening. Leaving his home unattached, it overturned his chicken feathers, streaked away, stripped the feathers completely off several chickens and partially from most of the rest, and drove the feathers into a clump of trees stand beneath. It might seem as though we should serve as the basis of the conception that the woods of Kansas, when such woods can be found, are full of Indians. This particular woods at least was bristle with feathers when the storm plowed.
A man had just finished shingling his house, and no doubt was considering how good it looked, and he knocked on the door of another of the famous Kannas "cyclones." The house was not damaged by the storm except the roof was stripped off of shingles as it fell over. He knew whether the owner had started his work.
One other story, faithfully reputed to be true, has it that following a certain furtive Kansas tornado, an earthwoman jug was found with the head of a chicken in the neck. Upon investigation it was found that the body of the chicken was inside the unbroken jug, and was not mangle at all.
With such stories rampant, and everyone of them reputed authentically to be true, it is small wonder that no one has ever thought that and wonders how any one can survive in Kansas. But it is the exception which proves the rule, the sensation which receives attention, and the Kan- "cyclones" are not what they seem.

Candidates to Be Chosen
Members of the Sophomore class who wish to be candidates for editor or business manager of next year's Jayhawk will be given an opportunity to appear before the Jayhawk Advisor. The final day is 4:30 p.m. in the Jayhawk office, according to Prof. L. N. Flint, chairman of the committee.
Under the present system, preference is given to men and women who have worked on this year's book, but others desiring to become candidates for committee and give information regarding their experience in such work.
The list of approved candidates is made public as soon as the committee has acted so that ample time for investigation by voters will intervene before election. By general agreement the Jahawker offices are taken out and are at least to the extent that neither party ticket last year included them.
"Any ambitious sophomore who feels that he or she has the qualifications and experience for one of the Jayhawker jobs will be welcome at the meeting of the committee next Monday. We are hoping that there will be two or three strong candidates for each office" and the committee will accept the applications if it each one who expects to appear before the committee will hand his name to me or to someone at the Jayhawker office at once."
