STUDENTS NEGLECT AFTERNOON TALKS
Fail to Realize Opportunities Offered in Hearing Afternoon Convocations
'Students are failing to take advantage of a rare opportunity, when they do not attend the afternoon lectures, given by prominent men,' said Prof. C. Williams, chairman of the committee on convolutions this morning.
"Just because the speaker comes in the afternoon does not mean that he is not worth hearing," Professor Williams continued. "The fact is that it has been decided that the speaker conventions will be held here and he is connected with student activity except in most unusual cases."
The speakers that come will almost always speak in the afternoon and the students are urged to hear them. Such men as Mr. Retinel, insurance agent, who should watch the patient body should say, said Professor Williams.
There are to be two of these afternoon speakers here early in March, both men of prominence and well worth hearing. The first of these is Judge C. E. Burnell, president of the University of Alaska, a man who knows Alaska and is interested that will speak on "Alaska and Its Development sometime in the first week of March."
The second speaker will be Clark Wissler, a noted American anthropologist who has written books on the human subject. He will speak on March 13 or 14.
WOMAN MAYOR HITS BOOZERS
She Drove Bootleggers Out of Fairport, Ohio.
Fairport, O., Feb. 23. This is the inside story of how a pretty young girl personally drove the bootleggers out of Fairport, noted as an international rum-sumbling center between the United States and Canada.
It was told to the United Press by Dr. Amy Kaukonen, youngest woman mayor.
"The town of Fairport has been for some time a wide open one. Last November the citizens decided things had gone entirely too far, so promised I would provide a pledge to clean out the bootleggers and gumballs.
"The bootleggers of Fairport had an eight-hour shift of look-outs or watch men. As soon as a dive into sight, the investigator gave a signal, a bell rang, the light blinked, and the booth was rushed to a secret hiding place. Some times during a rail the bootleggers disrupted the power plant, putting out every light in the building, but we soon caught onto their system.
"Much of the booze was bright across from Canada in airplanes. Now however, the airplanes do not stop in Fairport.
"Some of the caches of the bootleggers were amazingly clever. A fruit store proprietor sand bananas at 75 cents apice. In inserted in a scissor out niche in a high-prized bottle containing one drink of booze."
*Needless to say, this little fruit stand did a land office business. Those who couldn't afford hoop-bananas were accommodated with lemon extract, lightening drops, hard cider and dane red.*
"We have the bootleggers on the run, as the saying goes, but we won't ston up until every bit of hooch in Fairport is confiscated."
To Cut Army and Navy
To Pre-War Strength
Washington, Feb. 23—The army and navy will be cut almost to their pre-war strength in enlisted man power, with a saving of 275,000,000 in the next official year, under the plans that were maturing real estate at the Desert Air Force's standing armies 100,000 and a navy enlisted personnel of 60,000 has been agreed on according to Chairman Madden of the House Appropriation Committee.
The biggest saving will come from the navy cut, Madden said. With a reduction to 60,000 men the bill for next year, stating July 1, can be trimmed in half. The navy got $47,000,000 last year.
The expense of the alight in army appropriations has not been extended by the sub committee on army affairs, Chairman Anthony said. Bradberg.

numpy lessons had been assigned.
We prepared one. Library work had
went down town. The air was bracing,
but we felt lazy. Surely, something was wrong. To our discomfort, our winter overcoats became cumberness, hot and irritating. Shop windows advertised light tweeds labeled, "Whiffs of Spring." A warm breeze blowed into our eyes, which we later opened only to bump up against the latest weather report, posted on the walls of a drygoods store advertisement. Sleep nextward. Then we found the last bit of explanatory evidence.
Five common, ordinary American school boys were crouching in various positions around a small circle etched on the damp earth. They seemed to be manipulating some species of small spheres. We exerted pressure by rolling them in lilies. It was not pool. Nor did it seem to be the ancient dice game, so common in the time of Caesars and universal in the habitat of students.
Columbia Class Scrap Ends in Jail for Ten
Ah, they were engaged at marbles.
Now that we have mentioned time, let us pause to say, "How times have changed." (Keep in mind, however, we are still on the last bit of explanatory evidence.)
Linbrook, L. I., Feb. 23—A class scrap, which lasted throughout most of the night, left ten Columbia University sophomores and freshmen in the hands of Linbrook, L. I., police the next morning. Other ill effects of the scrap were: a battered police force; an exhausted fire department, due to the exertion of hose playing; and the almost total destruction of a
heretofore perfectly well appointed inn.
It seems that 150 freshmen decided it was within the law for them to have a "big bust," while fifty sophomores thought it was presumptions, and they just about proved their point. Many of those escaping arrest could easily be identified by various conspicuous marks upon their person.
