ONE MORE THROW
No, it didn't lose us the game. As it happened, Nebraska got a three point lead on us and our team could not overcome it. But it might easily enough have lost us such a close game and perhaps the Valley title. Only a little hiss or two, and a few disgruntled yells, but the referee said "One more throw" and he was doing only right.
What poor sportsmanship it is when teams are evenly matched and are playing hard and clean, when the decision is close and probably would not be given exactly the same way by any two spectators, to hiss when an opposing team is given a free throw. The Kansas team was playing square last night, as they always do—but the crowd—well, hardly.
The bad feature of such incidents is that such a few members of the crowd bring odium on the whole assemblage. When that Nebraska player who was hissed when he started to do as the referee told him gets back on his own campus, he will not say that a half dozen Kansas fans dishonored him before three thousand persons. No, he will say that the star students of the University of Kansas hissed him when a slight decision went against them.
The Kansas spectators should, individually, resolve to let yesterday evening's incident be the last of its kind to take place in Robinson gymnastium.
Our idea of the most egotistical and hopeful woman in the world is the one who takes child care and home decoration during her senior year in college.
The woman who favored unadorned axe grease for her Catalina Channel swim is a boost for bathing suits as she was among the first taken from the water.
THE "MAD EMPRESS"
The man who wrote, "Fare ye wih if ye have pleasure, ye have also fear and pain," was no fool. It has become a well accepted fact that those who rise to the greatest heights of pleasure at times sink to the lowest depths of misery, and their position is always precarious.
the tragic life of the "Mad Empress" Caroltta who died a few days ago illustrates this principle. Born to a life of glittering gaiety, this once famous beauty married the handsome and dashing young Archude Maximilian and took her place as a leader in the pompous court of Vienna. Her position might well have been envisioned by any other woman in Europe, or the world, for that matter. Youth and beauty, love and riches, everything that a human soul might desire was hers, but not for long.
The splendor of court life was then based on political power which changed and varied with the luck of those who wielded it. Pleasure and gaiety were only one side of their tempestuous lives. The very nature of their positions entailed risks and hazards not only of their political rank but of actual economic necessities and often times of life itself. Such was the case when Carletta's
husband, the ill-fated Maximilian,
east his fortune with Napoleon III
and became Emporer of Mexico.
The tragic death of her beloved husband together with other reverses of fortune proved too much for this sensitive Bourson queen, who became insane and houses has been known as the "Mad Empress." Had she been one of more humble rank whose nature had been coarsened and dulled by former harsh experiences, she might have survived.
It takes a Yankee sense of humor to schedule an American flight of goodwill through Mexico and Nicaragua.
You don't just as well as as though you're sliding along the sidewalk on purpose—if you don't you'll do it accidently and make a fool of yourself.
BETTER PAY. BETTER WORK
Despite the criticism that President Coolidge's economy program is petty and calls for stringency where abundance is needed, the administration has recently adopted a policy of paying more money to workers in the civil services, in order to raise the standard of work done.
It is well known that men who dovelop into efficient and successfulservants in government employ arefrequently attracted to outside fieldsby large increases in salary. As longas such a condition exists, efficiencyin government scarcely can beexpected. No ambitious man canbe blamed for leaving the governmentservice when he is offered distinctadventure, and when he leaves itis very difficult to find someone equallycapable to take his place.
In addition to raising the higher salaries, the new policy has resulted in the lifting of many positions to a higher salary class, so as to attract better trained and more skilled men.
Among the needed recognitions made by the salary adjustment is that of the government scientists, many of whom are known throughout the world for their research. Many of these men had been so underpaid that they could maintain families only with great difficulty and were unable to enjoy even modest luxuries.
But with all the increases, the average amount spent by the federal government for salaries will be only

THE REVENUE
That the age of miracles has not yet passed seems to be the belief of hundreds of over-credited citizens of Kansas City, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle. These people allowed themselves to be persuaded by a former real estate and mining promoter that their "cure all," which can be had at only $65, would really accomplish all of the remarkable results that he claimed for it.
slightly higher than last year. This has been accomplished by increased efficiency higher up.
By raising the salaries, the administration has taken a broad stride in raising the standards of this greatest of businesses—government. The superior working of the civil service system under the new policy will quiet critics for a while.
It is hardly fair to one politician to expect justice of them; they don't want to violate traditions.
QUACKERY STILL PREVAILS
This gentleman gave radio lectures and ran full page advertisements herding this "greatest health invention of the age", and the people bent a path to his office. He invited them to investigate his I Love America if they
were ill, no matter what the nature of the illness, and they accepted this invitation as proof of his sheeracity and bought the cure without stopping to investigate further.
However, his invitation was accepted by the barent of investigation of the American Medical association. The report of the committee was, as might be expected, that the concoction had no more therapeutic value than the little font of a rabbit caught in the churchyard in the dark if the moon.
And there same people laugh at the superstition of more primitive countries.
If there is the slightest possibility to the arguments and testimonials of such quacks, people grasp eagerly at the choice to obtain the panacea no matter what the price. They will not stop to consider the probability that such cure is impossible, but smash eagerly at that which clever fakers have convinced them will rid them of all their sufferings. It seems to be an eternal dream of human nature.

When Women Get Together And the Conversation Veers to Clothes--
The majority express a preference for Clothes from this shop. Eavesdrop a bit and you will find their reasons run something like this:
"I am always assured of finding the latest fashions there."
"Yes, and they never fail to show you the most beautiful apparel, no matter whether you are fortunately slim or one of those who must count her calories anxiously. Really, I don't know of any other place where one can find style and individuality so moderately priced."
If you have yet to be initiated, let us show you our new styles for Spring. We miss our guess if they don't make you an ardent booster, too.
