WAR HEROES NOW STUDYING
Veterans at Camp Sherman Engaged in Learning Professions
Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio, Feb. 17—War heroes back in camp Sherman today were engaged in studying professions which will enable them to go out in the world within a year's time and earn a living.
The ex-service men, dubbed "trainers," have taken to the vocational school idea and though the program was not offered at present, they are working hard.
Paid at the rate of $100 a month and given free board and lodging, several hundred ex-service men were students of Uncle Sam's first army vocational university, which fits them to become plumbers, mechanics, tailors, shoemakers, laudersers, sign painters, farmers and electricians.
The school at present is a ponder cus thing. Large camp buildings being used as schoolrooms are considerable distance apart and it is a long walk between classes. This difficulty together with the fact that when the school started, instructors were often seen "resulting in what looked like inefficiency t the outsider, has resulted in stron condemnation of the school.
But, authorities in charge believe that in six months the situation will be entirely changed, and that critics of the school will thoroughly approve of the school.
Red tape in Washington in getting appropriations for the school has interfered with plans for the development of the school. Some "train-ews" who were disaffected with the manner in which efforts were made to get them to work learning a profession alone, due to criticism to get heaped on the school.
There are between two and three hundred "train-trees". Here, all are discharged service men, but there is no military aspect to the school.
The first batch of students to arrive were mostly from the cities. Some of them disliked the quiet life. Shortly a batch of "traineen from the agricultural districts will be brought in and with their arrival it is believed the morale of the entireudent body will be strengthened.

ACTRESS SETS NEW FASHION
English Woman Refuses to Be Interviewed
London. Feb. 17—Lady Diana Cooper, the actress daughter of the Duke of Rutland, besides starting a fashion for the English nobility by her success in a new color film, has set a new fashion for film actresses in general. She refuses to be interviewed.
Not that any one expects for a minute that many film actresses will follow the idea. But Lady Diana, who every day now is being sought by newspaper men hopelessly attempting to interview her has bundled off to the country, looking not for publicity, but seclusion.
Felix Orman, assistant to Stuart Blackton, the producer, said that Lady Diana was very serious about her work.
"She begged for a copy of the scenario before I could get it ready," he said, "then she studied old paintings of the seventeenth century, in which the plot is laid, in order to learn the fashions of the times. When he was at home, all-star cast she was a little nervous for a time, but soon got over it."
Lady Diana is about to enter another color picture to be produced by Mr. Blackton. Her friends expect advantage in it.

FARMERS WILL FORM BIG NATIONAL UNION
Protection of Agricultural Inter est is the Purpose of Organization
Chicago, Feb. 17.—A national farmer's organization built around the farm bloe in Congress was in process of organization here today. Belief of farmers that the nation is through politics, caused the call of representative leaders of the nation. The conference for tomorrow was called by Benjamin C Marsh, managing director of the Farmer's council who arrived here to discuss.
Leaders of the new movement who disclosed its nature to the United Press said no attempt to form a new political party will be made. Farmers will be formed into a unit to solidify their interests and congressional candidates it was said.
Only the conservative farmer element will be included in the organization authorities. The conference is preliminary to the meeting of farm and labor forces here Monday, at which time leaders will attempt to redefine political condition in order to solve their individual and mutual problems.

When roll call is made at the first of the new semester it is, invariably found that there is a gap in the ranks of students enlisted at K.

A few of these failures to respond to roll call is voluntarily caused. The preponderance, however, is in voluntary. A few may be classified as "rank desertion," the other absences usually fall under the heading of "dishonorable discharges." The more craven ones—the ores lacking in stamina and the lightness for the hour—can account for or five months, and leave to the refuge of home. The siege has been too much for them.

Announcement was made this morning of the marriage of Helen Darby, c'23, of Washington, Kan, and Nicholas Apollonio of Kansas City, Mo, which took place January 1. L. Apollonio is a member of Alpha Omicron Pi. Mr. Apollonio attended the
15c per tube of 12 leads;
class game of pool, terpichorean ability, et al, are of no avail when it comes to passing their exams. After a session with the dean they pack a truck and summon the transfer truck, and make a Hegira to the old homeestead.
Some of the feminine element who entered the portals of the University of Kansas with the intention of making it a matrimonial bureau discover the futility of their plans and also desert Lawrence for the Home swain that reside there. Their opinion of K. U. is very disarranging.
Then again, the lack of lucre enters as a factor into the desertion. The wheat crop at home didn't produce a sufficient quantity of shiekhs. Therefore the lad from the farm must needs return.
But what'er the reason may be for this abandonment of the campus we bid all those leaving, a "sad adieu."

Columbus, Texas, Feb. 17.—This section of Texas is fast becoming of interest to paleontologists. The rivers and gravel pits in this vierrity frequently give up specimens which are great aids in the study of paleontology. The axis or second vertebrae of a muscatodon, obtained at a depth of twenty feet, is the latest specimen to be brought to light here. The vertebra, which was not petrified, was found by P. E. Prickett, local citizen.
