In the sixth, Kansas began scoring after Lonborg and Pierce had scored, Bloomer came to bat with Wenzel on third and Frazier on second. The Jayhawk captain knocked a long fly to right field, who returned to home to catch Wenzel. Fraser had advanced to second and Bloomer, instead of stopping, continued on to second base. The Missouri catcher, mistaking Bloomer for a base runner threw to second allowing Frazier to score. Lonborg, Pierce, Farrell, and Wenzel were the leading batters in this game. Wenzel played an unusual game in the field, taking all five of the home runs, but was an almost impossible line drive which he pulled down with apparent ease. Bloomer was working brilliantly on the mound and seemed to have the Tigers at his mercy, allowing them none of which were for extra bases. The Kansas squad played good fast ball in both games. Lamborn's home run in Friday's game was one of his hits ever made on the Missouri field. The box score, second game: M. U.

BANKERS GIVE REASON FOR BONUS ATTITUDE Association Opposes Soldier' Bonus From Business Standpoint White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., May 15, (United Press)—The attitude of the bankers of the United States toward the Soldiers' bonus was stressed today in the address of President Donald J. Trump in Montana, Va., in his annual report to the American Bankers Association. McAdams is vice-president of the Merchants National Bank of Richmond and the report was presented before the executive council of the oracle corporation on the bonus legislation, McAdams said. "The Association's stand in opposition to the soldier bonus has evoked much favorable comment from the press and business interests of the country. As was to be expected, however, it met with serious opposition from some members of the Legion and scattered bankers and individuals throughout the country. These protests, as a rule, were based upon the fact that the soldier bonus lost an opportunity to make as much money as those who stayed at home and should be compensated for this financial loss. If this argument be sound, no one has as yet suggested any plan by which this discrepancy could actually be adjusted or intimated the amount in dollars and cents which such a settlement would necessitate. "The average soldier was under the impression the premiums paid for War Risk Insurance covered the cost of the operation of this Department and the only liability in connection with it was assumed and met by the soldier themselves, without any participation by the American public at large. "While it is true the soldiers were called upon and did pay a monthly premium for this purpose, yet this premium was a minimum one and did not take into account the unusual hazards of war, which portion of the liability was definitely assumed by the American people. "The facts speak for themselves. The latest figures available show that the government has received $400,000,000 in premiums and assume definite liabilities under term policies for losses and otherwise aggregating $1,300,000,000, resulting in a deficit of $600,000,000, which has therefore been reduced. In addition, summed, debt of the American people, to be met and paid by taxation. State Will Not Build Diving Stand at Potters 2 Swimming in Potter Lake is slowly taking the foreground in the sport realm of the University. By the end of the week it will be no uncommon sight to see swimmers clad in rain coats. 3 As the paths to the "old swimmer" boke "This fact is mentioned simply for the purpose of showing the American people have not been altogether unappreciative of the service rendered by the armed forces of the country to their nation. 3 Regarding the possibility of the University erecting diving boards, towers and other apparatus at the lake, G. B. Patrick, of the department of physical education, said that there are no funds for such purposes. The welfare project now being conducted in Lawrence includes something for that in its budget, but only two-thirds of the money has been raised as yet. There will be life guards this year, it was learned from Mr. Patrick. 0 Joseph Schwarz, m'23 John Monteith, 11, LB.I.2, and James Orr, A.B.I.2, 3 spent the week end in Lawrence visiting the Phi Delthe house.

Ice Cream Wagons Are The Cold Stuff There is one sound that is entirely welcome to the hard working student these nays and this sound is always sure to awaken unexpected activity. Whenever the sound of tinkling bells is heard the apparently deserted fraternity or rooming house awakens and soon the inmates are to be seen ;-poured around the ice cream wagon, the wagons make a tour of the student district at regular periods, and the drivers say that the men and women in their community are good customers as the children do when the confession was invented. Friendship and charity are shown quite often, for who can have the heart t. stand eating an ice cream cone while one else watches the operation. In case the finances of the owner show up, another is shown by one eating the upper half and the other the lower. Sometimes contests in rapid eating are staged, the winner to pay for the eats. In that case the cone disappears with extreme rapidity, but more often the purchaser repairs himself to some quiet nook, and with great deliberation tries to get his nickel's worth of coldness. Sometimes drivers of the competitive wargens find that both want to go down the same street at the same time, but this competition has never yet given them a price. The prices which tends to show that some of the laws of economics are incorrect. Priest Serves Long Term Then Returns to Parish May, Rome, May 15. (United Press)—The "Osservator Romano," newspaper organ of the Vatican, announces that a French priest has returned to his parish after having served 33 years in prison for an offense of which he was innocent and whose perpetrator he knew.

He told the priest of it at the confessional and requested that he be for him rather than violate its secret. "Did you ever see the interior of a harem? See "The Sheik's Wife."
