Formal Exhibition of Spring Styles Is Friday Evening
Siren to Herald Unveiling Motor Show Included, According to New Plans
Seventh-thirty Friday evening will find the store windows of Lawrence again in their semi-annual dress parade. Many, though not all of the merchants are decorating their windows with special exhibits of the latent spring styles for the annual show being held by the merchant's office of the store of commerce. A special committee is in charge of the affair.
The windows will be veiled all day in preparation until 7:30 when the siren will blow as the windows are uncovered.
Spring styles in motor cars will also be on display local dealers decided yesterday although earlier plans and announcements were to the contrary. All traffic will be barred from Massachusetts street for the evening to prevent congestion and avoid danger.
The telephone number here; again will be a feature this spring. Cards bearing telephone numbers picked at random from the phone book will be displayed in the windows and the persons who find their number are entitled to a gift from that store if they are before closing time Saturday night.
The Praternal Aid Union band has been secured to furnish music for the crowd that is anticipated.
Potter Lake Not Result of World's Marine Age
The campus wouldn't be the campus without Potter lake, but once it was. The student who has just taken his class to a big city with bazy idea in the back of his mind that some time he heard the professor say that it is what is left of the seas that once covered Kansas. The teacher university just takes the lake for granted.
Some fifteen years ago when the city power plant was a private concern and couldn't seem to get up enough energy to push water up Mount Oread, the University decided there must be some way of obtaining water in case of fire. A natural hollow was dammed in order to catch the river's waters. The result was a lake which was named after a former member of the Board of Rogents, Thomas H. Potter, who was a great friend of the University and who was largely instrumental in having the lake built.
A small pump house was built below the dam to pump the water to the University power plant which was then back of the present engineering building. Powerful fire pump saps the mains from there in case of fire.
Later when the city took over the municipal plant and equipped it so that it could supply sufficient pressure to the University, the board of health ordered that the Potter lake pipeline be dismantled in order to remove the water from all of the University water supply by the unmourned water of the lake.
There is a plan for turning the pond into a concrete-lined swimming pool sometimes when funds can be obtained. Meanwhile it serves, after a fashion, as a swimming hole or a skating rink. The most part it is just Potter lake, an indispensable part of the campus scenery.
The University of Denver will sponsor a European tour this summer for students in that school. The tour will last two weeks, and all noteworthy places in Europe will be visited.

New Exhibits in Museum
Case of Sheffield Plate Added in Spooner-Thayer
Old Sheffield plate and a variety of brasses make up an interesting new case in the Spooner-Thayer museum. The things have never been before.
Sheffield plate dates from approximately 1775 to 1845. Some of the pieces included in this group are a fruit bowl, a caster, spoon, spice snuffer and an old lamp. The fruit bowl is bright blue glass and is mounted on a high, ornate stand. It is used for holding a small piece of this purpose. The candle snuffer is an interesting device which works like scissors. It is fitted on a tray. The quaintest piece in the group is an old lampshape like a hollow hall with a coil of candle inside resembling a long red worm. The end of the candle works out through a hole at the top of the lamp, and a pointed cap covers the entire worm. A larger device is not much bigger in an ordinary baseball.
The brasses are chiefly of interest historically, one piece being a coffee pot which was used by Napoleon. A wine pot is also also shown. The other pieces are
