Sir Harry Lauder is here.
He was introduced, then turned to the lady by his side. Lady Lauder, charming, fascinating black-eyed woman was constantly on the alert. When the subject of an interview with Sir Harry was mentioned her face took on a very serious look, "No," she responded this afternoon," said in the sweetest of manners put all thoughts of an interview out of the question.
He was entertained at the Rotary Club dinner held in his honor at Weidemann's tea room.
He wasn't there long until, in his broad Scotch brogue he said:
"I think all the gentlemen should rise and drink to the ladies," which they all did.
Lady Ann Lauder was introduced after which Sir Harry talked.
Then he went on to say that only four things in life were worth while.—God, work, home, cleanliness and friendship to neighbors.
"If I were to address school boys and girls today I would say that war is all wrong," he said.
He closed with a song named "Sing-
ing is a Thing to Make You Cheerly."
When the Rotarians insisted on more
he looked at the whole-School gentle
man to whom he had been talking
and said:

Women as Crime Jurists Let Personalities Rule
Chicago, Jan. 17.—Women fail to make good on criminal juries because they go outside of the records of the case too often.
They are governed too much by their likes and dialikes rather than by facts. This is the opinion expressed today by James C. O'Brien, Chicago noted criminal lawyer, in an interview with the U. P. discussing the disagreement in the Bursch and Arbuekle furies.
"Placing women on the jury in a criminal case is only an experiment," O'Brien said. "It will take a generation probably before they become good jury members. While they have the natural intuition as to what is wrong, it will take more time to get them educated before they will take into consideration the rules of evidence and follow the instructions of the court."
Prof. Charles Alexander of the University of Illinois, was injured in an apartment house fire in Urbana, IL, recently, while trying to rescue his bug collection.

Ma Gives Pa a Lesson In Horse Psychology

Dobbin wouldn't move. At least, to all appearances, she wouldn't. Her erstwhile quiet, docile, almost timid eyes were lighted by the fire of firm determination as she braced her shaggy rear feet on the sidewalk and resisted all gentle urgles and logical reasoning to back up.
Then he grasped the animal by the bridle and tried gently to urge her sternward. There was no use, Dobbin was cemented to the sidewalk. And to further enhance the security of her position, she took a couple of steps and planted her stock outward, like the legs of a sawhorse.
Pa and Ma, in from the country for the day's shopping, were far from asexperiated. Dobbin wasn't dumb; she was merely disinclined to move, and to move backward. Pa surveyed the family rule with a pensive eye. There was bound to be some way out of the awkward situation.
Then Ma, blushing just a little at the attention they were drawing from the passers-by, had an inspiration.
"She don't want to go where she can't see, Pa," she suggested.
So Pa unlucky Dobbin from the chassis, her curved her产 structure, and she walked serenely, off the walk between the shafts to be rebuilt.
Ma smiled benignly. It was all a matter of horse-temperment, you see. So, after all, there are a few additions in having a modern gaggy booby.

Two iers Left Game—First Ha Hard-fought and
Bitter
In a fist, hard-fought game, the Kansas basketball team decisively defeated the Washington University five in Robinson Gymnasium last evening, 44 to 17. The game was closer than the score indicates as the team won by 29 points. The comfortable lead until after the final period was well under way.
The Pilkers took the lead immediately after the initial whistle when Thompson, crack free throw for Washington, tossed the ball down the field in a nausea foul. The two teams played evenly for the first ten minutes the score being tied at the end of this time, 8 to 8. The Jayhawks then pulled out in front and led during the remainder of the game as half ended: Kansas 17, Washington 10.
In the last half Coach Allen's men hit their stride and soon counted up a safe lead. The Jayhawkers distinctly excelled in this period in team and floor work, Captain Body and Wostemeyer connected with the basket regularly, Wostemeyer making five field goals and Boychuk chaining in addition to four free throws out of 18 chances.
The Pikers played the game with a rush, playing a vigorously aggressive game. They used the Big Ten style of play, which tends toward playing the man instead of the ball. Schaus and Leffler, Washington guards, both left the game by the porous defense of Washington, is a former Illinois man and use the Illinois style of play.
The Washington men continually tried long shots at the basket with but fair success. Thompson, who is known throughout the Valley for his free throw ability, was easily the outstanding player on the Piker team. He caged two goals from the field and while the Kansas players only allowed him four free throws, he made three goals out of the 4 trials.
As a result of winning from the Pikers, Kansas went into a tie with Missouri for first place in the Valley race, as both the Tigers and Jayhawkers have won three games. Arizona Aged dropped from the one thousand per cent class last evening when Ames walked away with a 36 to 25 victory.
