Fine Arts Instructor Ill
Miss Mabel Barnhardt, instructor in the School of Fine Arts, has been seriously ill with the influenza for the past week. She was taken ill a week ago and removed to the Memorial Hospital. Miss Barnhardt is improving daily and expects to return to her work as soon as possible.
Women's Forum to Meet
"Applied Psychology" is the subject Derritt Stumberg, instructor in the psychology department, has chosen for her talk to the Women's Forum which meets Thursday afternoon at 4:30 in Room 206, Fraser Hall. Half of the time will be taken by a discussion of mental tests, an important phase of applied psychology.
University Seismograph Moved to Haworth Hall
The seismograph belonging to the University is being settled in its new location in the geology building. The former home of the instrument was in Blake Hall. The base for the seismograph must rest well below the earth's surface in order to be free from all artificial vibrations such as these made by a passing truck or car. It will sit on the earth's base extends to 'red rock, or, if not that far, to some similar stratum which will furnish a solid foundation.
Two tremors are recorded upon the smoked sheet by the tell-tale fingers of the delicate instrument. One tremor comes over the surface of the earth and the second comes directly through the earth. By calculating the time in time, the approximate location of the disturbance may be found.
Skeletons And Pottery
Specimens Sent Here
From Arizona Ruins
National Georgaphic Society Sends Man to Study Age of Stelstens
Specimens of pottery, and parts of two human skeletons, and two dog skeletons have been sent to E. A. White, of the department of chemistry, from the D-shaped dwellings in Arizona, by Albert B. Reagan of the Kansas Academy of Science. Mr. White is going to make a chemical model of the coloring matter used by these ancient people in their diets.
"The pottery specimens are especially interesting for the designs used in them," Mr. White. "Some of them are very crude, and have evidently been made by children, while others show great skill, both in the artistic design, and the ability to draw. The lines are never straight enough to be printed on the brushstrokes that the cliff dwellers used. The little Indian children of the reservations now use them for designs for their school work.
The designs resemble, more than anything else, the cubist art of the present day. They have many squares, and triangles, and present in a very gentle fashion to cubic exhibit an idea of "Venus the Wolf," or the "Lady Descendine the Stairs."
The skeletons which came from the same dwelling have practically the same shaped heads as the American of today. Their other bones don't differ from ours as some bones sent here, from the South Sea Islands.
It was at first supposed that these iteled died of some venereal disease, but after closer investigation it was found that the bones of a dog, found in the same ruins, shoved the same wound, so this theory was discredited.
So far any attempt to discover the age of these habitations has been unsuccessful, but now the National Geographic Society is sending Neil M. Judd, curator of American archaeology, to direct another attempt. He will unearth tree stumps, and count the number of graves. Dr. Manual Gamio, director of archaeology in Mexico, will use ancient buildings. He will find the amount of sediment around the buildings, and in this way discover their age.
Ancients Used Gems As "Cure-all" for Iills
Did you know that, according to the ancients, the precious stones in your fraternity badge might be used for healing diseases, the "collicle," and even "goggly eyes?" The Middle Age doctors are authority for this assertion, and Dioscoreus himself, it is said, prescribed them. The last all-memention mentioned above.
For those afflicted with melan-
holia, Avicenna suggested a coral made
to a cordial which he found "singi-
narly productive of joy." Matthioli,
are we told by Sydney in his "Romea
of Symbolism," prescribed
or his patients suffering from the
amaliment, a dissolved pear, which,
is not the primary tool used
against melanoboly." For epilepsy,
he same medico recommended coral
o be worn around the neck or drunk
n powders at the patient's option.
Another tone whose lower value made it much more available as a medicine, however, was the coral. Gustavson's acute cure for the spitting of blood.

Law Professor Believes That "Music Hath Charms" So He Harmonizes Work With Play
"Music hate charms." So think Prof. Thomas J. Larrone, one of the new members of the law faculty this year. Accordingly, hg combines music with law, and strange to say, perhaps, to seem to harmonize very well.
Professor Larrmorem received his A. b. degree at Yale in 1911. When these he was the editor of the "Yale Course" number of the club and orchestra.
During the interms between classes of embryo lawyers, Professor Larremore studies harmony.
He received his LL. B. degree from Columbia University in 1916. While a student there he was a member of the editorial board of the Columbia Law Review and also of the University Orchestra.
During the years 1910-18, Professor Larremore was instructor in law at the Leland Stanford, Jr., University.
He directed the university glee club there in 1916-17.
Benson is back again in a study of wild fowls that has all the rush and abandon of an autumn flight, while she strolls through her winnow, golden "Bloom Child."
While professor of law at the University of Orgeon, 1919-21, he played in the university orchestra.
A burst of glory is the best way to describe the etching exhibition in the art department in East Administration Building. The visitor is completely bewildered by the variety of themes, the wealth of technique, and the variety of subjects it can fit anything destructive in the way of criticism to say about this showing, so much talent is represented at its best.
One or two of the etchings seem a little over-detailed and mechanical, as for example "Rhôme," and there is a little over-detailed man of man and beast in Port Maine.
From 1021 until he came to K. U.
Professor Larmore was professor of law in Tulane University, New Orleans, and while there was a member of the New Orleans Symphony Orchestra.
A review of all the well-known and all the particularly striking pieces would sound almost like a catalog of the exhibit, but it is safe to say that the showing is even better than last year's many of the same artists represented.
"Wind-Swept Hills," and "Dancing Water" are good examples of the modern tendency toward deep, bold lines, while "Cherry Blossoms" is a study in fragile, wispy lines of the conservatives. "Blessing with Holy

Relies, St. Marc," is impressive in its black effects.
There is a hint of Japanese in the rich blue of "Home of the Winds," as well as in the tiger head in "A Cooling Drink," which is dual and sweet. The oxybenzoe of tinted etchings show great delicacy and pleasing color.
There are so many moods represented, so many places, so many phases of life, that the visitor is sure to find something after his own taste. Prices are appended to the cards, and these prices range from ten dollars to thirty, with forty for the Benson.
Among those who have re-centered school for the spring semester are: Johnny Charvat, Phillipsburg, Kansas; Walter Armagnat, Florence, Kansas; and Virgil Langford, Appleton City, Missouri.
