Noted Ornithologist, University Graduate Will Head Expedition
Two of Largest Museums in Country Sends Scientists to South Seas
Frank Alexander Wetmore, A. B. "12, ornithologist, who has been for a number of years with the Biological Survey of the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., stopped at the University recently on his way to San Francisco where he will have a conference and expedition into the South Pacific.
The expedition which Doctor Wetmore is heading is under the direction of the National Museum, Washington, and the American Museum, New York City, two of the largest museums in the world. Sixteen or twenty noted scientists of the country make up the exploring party. They have arraigned to explore the region with a team held by the government for a number of years as bird reservations, and have never before been explored.
All kinds of specimens of natural history will be collected on the expedition, some going to the National Museum and others to the American Museum. Doctor Wetmore is interested in the collection of birds.
The company will spend about a month in Hokulau fitting out a ship furnished by the Navy Department. It will cruise in the South Pacific about three months, visiting especially the islands of Nihuan, Midway Oceanic, Wake, and Johnston. This month's estimated cost is estimated to cost about $50,000.
Doctor Wetmore wanted C. D. Bunker, assistant curator of mammals, to accompany him on the expedition, but the University did not see fit to allow Mr. Bunker to leave at the end of the Wetmore expects to return in the early fall, and will spend a few weeks with friends in Lawrence.

Managers of Party Deplore Slow Sale of Tickets on Campus
State and University Notables to Attend Annual Law Scrim
The Serim is the annual party given by the School of Law in honor of the football team, members of which will be the guests of honor Friday evening. All members of the football team last fall have been invited and have indicated their intention to attend the party.
The chief justice of the state supreme court, the Hon. W. A. Johnston, as well as Chancellor E. H. Lindley and other university notables, will attend the Law Scrip to be held Friday night, March 16, according to Robert Smith, one of the managers of the party.
Tickets are on sale in Green hall now, but will be sold to students of that school only. Those who are expecting to enroll in the School of Law and are taking work in the College may also purchase tickets.
The sale of tickets to the Scrip-
tain, according to the manager, has been
exceedingly slow. "Unless 200 tickets
are sold it is not unlikely that the
auditing committee will cut our budg-
get considerably," he said.
Tour Capt. Kidd's Haunts
"It is a source of very deep regret to "it," said Smith this morning. "I am not able to be our guests for this event, but not able to be our guests for this event." We looked forward with great anticipation toward the pleasure of having the state's chief executive at it.
Students Gain School Credits From Spanish Main
New York, March, 15—Cruising the Spanish Main in search, not of golden doubloons and pieces of eight, but of nuggets of knowledge, is the latest in educational novelies. Such a cruise has been arranged by Dean A. Wellington Taylor of the Graduate School of Design at institutions of New York, University.
K. U.'s All Victorious Team
The expedition will follow the wake of the bold buccaneers who have tinged successive waves of juvenile pirates, and who cannot be made in one of the "low black hulls," so dear to the Captain Kidd school of fiction. The Pantones, one f the Great White Fleet of the United States, have been obtained to carry the tourists.
A large part of the company will be made up of college students who will combine an interest and ingenuity in the opportunity to gain from two to four points toward a college degree. New York University has consented to award these college credits because of exceptional educational value of the tour.

"It Pays to Swim With the Current"
This is about two spark plugs. At the moment they are lying on the sales manager's desk in the establishment of a large middle-western hardware jobber.
One spark plug bears a name known wherever automobiles are used, the other a name seldom heard.
[Both, says the sales manager, are good plugs. On the score of quality they run neck and neck.
"But," he adds, "we are discontinuing this line"and he holds up the plug of unfamiliar name. "Yes, and our discount on it is larger, too."
f "What's wrong with it? Not a thing. It's a good plug—mighty good plug but —no one knows about it. It isn't advertised—the other one is. The demand is for the advertised make. And we've learned it pays to swim with the current, not against it."
More and more jobbers in every line of business are learning every day that
it pays to swim with the current of popular demand.
『"Our job," said one jobber, "is to supply markets, not create them. Let the manufacturer make a market for his goods, and we will handle it."
Said another—"Our salesmen carry a catalog with thousands of items in it. They haven't the time to push unadvertised goods. Their work is principally taking orders."
If you go among these wholesalers today to introduce a new product in competition with merchandise nationally advertised, unless the article is exceptional, you will be met everywhere by the injunction: "First go out and get a reputation for your goods through advertising."
The wholesaler knows by actual contact with dealers how they value speed of turnover, goods which move with a minimum of effort, goods people know about and ask for.
