O
Geology Professor,
W.E.Shoewe Talks
Over W.D.A.F.
"Prosperity of the Upper Mississippi Valley Can be Traced to Early Glaciers"
"Great glaciers or ice sheets a million years ago covered the surface where today we see rolling prairies and fertile plains dotted with prosperous farms and busy cities," said Prew, W. H. Showe, assistant proximal geology, over WDAF, kansas City City radio station, last night.
The prosperity for the upper Mississippi valley can be traced directly to the presence of those former ice sheets, for it is the soil carried in by these ice sheets that has made this region the granary of the world.
Loose Material from Glacial Drift
Geologists find the surface of north-
 eastern kanas and neighboring states
covered with a mantle of loose ma-
terial that is more porous than one
of other parts of the country.
Animal and Plant Life Flourished
"Five time in the great ice age the glaciers came down from the north and melted and disappeared. In their advance southward the glaciers passed over the hills and valley and carried with them immense beds of rock, gravel, sand and clay, scraping and grinding from the surface of the ice. The sheets melted and retreated the accumulations of earthy material were left behind and spread out over the surface as a mantle of glacial drift or pliid in lines of irregular hills or moraines," said Professor Showee.
The climate finally became warmer than it is today, for animals of all kinds romped around our prairies and forests and plant life flourished in them. In the past 10 years the climate changed again and arctic conditions prevailed, according to Professor Showe. The plants died; the animals retreated step by step toward milder region or else they overcame with the cold and persisted.
"The climate became warm finally and glaciers melted and disappeared, leaving behind a mantle of drift. In Kansas the drift is less than twenty miles, but it is believed not to have existed," said Professor Shawee in conclusion.
Kansas Leads in Camps
Tourists Find Many Convenien ces Throughout State
"Kansas has more tourist camps per hundred cities than any other state in the Union," says Mrs. Erase Clark Hill, in a municipality survey of the tourist camps of Kansas. The survey lists 156 of these camps in alphabetical order, describing each one.
"Kansas cities have been proclaimed in the way of supplying a 'fodging place for wayfaring men,' continues Mrs. Hill. "The spirit of Kansas hospitality is reflected in the town, which offers its students that the small town offers, as well as the more pretentious provisions of its larger civil sister along the same line. The tourist camp in Kansas is yet in its infancy. Needsiness for the 'traveling public are not being supplemented by luxuries, but by tourism on the day it is but the forecast of that of tomorrow."
Half a dozen towns with less than 300 population have prepared tourist camps and one town of 162 population, Grinnell, in the western part of the state, not only has a tourist camp with the capacity for 100 cars, equipped with running water, but also a gas station, nicences, but boasts an airplane landing. The number of cars visiting the camps last year varied from a few hundred in the smaller towns to 6,000 in scale of the larger ones.
Deadline Set for Handball and Horseshoe Contests
Tomorrow is the deadline for signatures of those wishing to enter the horse-shoe or handball tournaments. There are now twenty-five entries in the tournament. This is five less than signed for the tournament last year.
Interest continues high in the first
analyzed horse-shoe tournament,
fifty-seven having signed for the
cruel couple having signed for the
doubles.

Zoology Professor Correlates Evolution With Christianity
H. H. Lane's New Book Attempts to Clear Up Differences in Beliefs
"Evolution and Christian Faith" is the title of a new book written by Prof. H. H. Lane of the department of zoology in the University. This book, which is but recently off the cover, is with the theory of evolution and seeks to paint out its nonvervance with the belief in a Divine Power.
The book, which was started two years ago in response to requests from a group of seniors at Phillips University, East End, Okaa, at which place Professor Lane was at work, is made up chiefly of a course called Philosophy. The course are divided under two heads, science and philosophy. In the latter chapters of his book these two are reconciled by Professor Lane, and as the author says in his introduction, he removes "some of the obstacles which have hindered our understanding in the possibility of that deeper risk of the human soul" a religious faith."
The second division of the book under the heading of philosophy contains an unique parable. Professor Lane relates how two yokels in the day "when knighthood was in flower" were disputing over the color of a knight's shield after he had passed it. When the shield was black and the other was white, the sisters stated that it was white. They finally came to blows, and were only pacified when a friend suggested that the shield surely must have been gray since they were both one of its color. They seemed satisfied

with the solution, but just then the knight repressed them in the opposite direction this time, and when he aligned at an inn not far distant they were automobiled to see that the shield was white on one side and black on the other. So it was discovered that each was right in a measure. Professor Lan then points out, probably because it may be found partly on both sides, which may be reconciled but not by a compromise which is false to both "compromise."

Professor Lane came to the University of Kansas just this year succeeding Doctor Allen in the department of zoology. Professor Lane has appeared in the last four editions of "Who's Who," and is as experienced for research done on the subject of the structure and function in the development of the special senses in mammals.

Cake Eater -model of 1900
He was called dude and dandy then, but you recognize the type.
He majored in haberdashery and took his degree with honors in soxology.
As if that were not enough, he evolved some variations on the cake walk which made them stare.
He even found time to develop a remarkable proficiency on the tandem bicycle, and on Saturday nights he was good enough to bring pleasure into Another's life by wheeling away to the "Ten-Twent-Thirt."
To crowd all this into four short years would seem enough for any mortal. Yet in spite of his attainments there are times, in after life, when our hero wonders.
The glory of his waistcoats has long since faded, while his books are still fresh and clean. Did he perchance put too much thought into the selection of his hats and too little in what went under them?
