"Relays Surpass All Usual Games," Says Dr. Outland
Ever-Victorious Basketball Team Receives Sweaters, Miniature Basketballs and Certificates
"Relay games surpass the usual intercollegiate games as attractions because the relays concern more schools," said Dr. John Outland, twice on the All-American team and renowned athlete of the University of Pennsylvania, who spoke upon "Relay Races" at convention upon
In 1896 the crowd which watched the relays at Penn numbered about 2000 but since that time the games have become more attractive to the sport loving public as well as the students and the crowds attending the annual games are larger than those at the intercollegiate games.
Last year at Pean there were more than 100 universities and colleges represented and more than 400 high schools sent athletes. These delegations comprised a gathering of more than 2000 athletes, men who were not to run in but one event, but who had been selected in order to compete in many events.

Talks To Social Workers
Margaret Palmer Tells of Girls Clubs in Factories
"Your biggest problem in organizing a club among factory girls is the fear of the girls that you want to meet. You have to get some money out of them," said Miss Margaret Palmer, chaperone of the Wanktaan co-operative house, to the Social Service Group of the Y.W. C. A. yesterday afternoon. Miss Margaret has worked younger girls in business and industry in Kansas City, Mio, and she has worked in summer camps for girls." The girls need good, wholesome recreation. They have no good home environment and cannot afford any amusement that is worth while on $50 a day. Your party is an excellent beginning."
Miss Palmer said that it was much more difficult to organize the girls who worked in factories than high school girls because the former do not know how to work in groups. The difference in the mental ages and attitudes of the girls is another problem. High school girls, bedding "Above all things, do not patronize, because the girls are sensitive and they are continually on their guard against it," said Miss Palmer in conclusion.
Superintendents Seek Teachers at University
"Seniors who expect to teach next year should note the fact that a number of suprinventents from different parts of the state will be in the appointment office Wednesday. Thursday, and Friday of this week," said Brian Johnson, chairman of the Teachers' Appointment committee, this morning.

Spanish Instructor
Tells of Foreign Lands
Over Star's WDAF
Miss Brady Speaks on Beauty of Spanish Women and Its Effect
"The Spanish woman is noted for her beauty," said Agnes Brady, instructor of Spanish at the University, speaking over WDAF, the Star's radio, lats night. "She is commonly spoken of as a brunette but there are many exceptions." She can remind eyes to use the expression of the Spannard. But whether she is fair or dark, her skin is lovely; she needs no need to hide her natural complexion with rouge. Her eyes are large and bold and rarely quiet; they sparkle, they languish, they laugh, they express the expression in one moment of time.
"The Spanish considers it part of his duty to thank a woman for her contribution of beauty to her country. Not the least affection is intended. These remarks are called 'echando flores,' throwing flowers—and every pretty girl on her walk expects to collect a large bouquet of these flowers of speech. I have even heard of a staid business man who would talk loudly and conversation to hum the refrain of some popular love song to a beautiful woman, and then continue with the same seriousness as before.
"The Spanish woman is witty, alert, devout, sympathetic, very polite, entirely unaffected, and courageous; she is hard working and frugal if she be in the lower class; she is fond of conversation and full of harmless mischief. She has strength and fortitude. She is fond of dress and the costumes are sometimes startling." Miss Brady concluded.
Uniform Dress is Bad
"Girls Express Individuality With Colors"—Schwegler
"Attempts which are being made now and then throughout the United States to compel public school children to wear uniform garments are praiseworthy from an economic standpoint, but from a psychological standpoint, it is also unrealistic. Schwegler, professor in the School of Education, in a class lecture.
"The whole tendency of adolescent youth, masculine and feminine, ts to express individuality." Professor Schwegler explains. "This comes from an unconscious urge or instinct within an individual to be an outstanding figure in any give group. With boys this desire finds expression through physical manifestation. The boy can turn flipflops, walk on his hands, hang by his toes or pummel" some adversary until he cries 'down.'
"The girl can best express her individuality through bright colors, or personal adornment or decoration. This desire to do something that will make her outstanding in her group is a perfectly normal one and that by all means should not be suppressed. Those who would put school children and high school students in uniform grounds work in doubt with a view toward economy in dress, which is a laudable thing but I believe economy can be insisted upon and uniform dress be dispensed with.
The Teachers' Appointment committee has been busy during the past week. J. C. Straal, principal of the Crawford county high school at Cherokee, arrived today to interview prospective teachers. Friday, S. H. Warren, principal of the Crawford county high school at Efingham, and J. A. Fleming, superintendent of schools at Bonner Springs, were here looking for teachers.
