THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Famous Insect Collection Had Its Beginning With Discovery Of A Nocturnal Beetle's Wino
How wonderful! or some such expression is the exclamation that falls naturally from the lips of most people when they first view the collection of insects exhibited at the natural history museum. And this exclamation is merely a statement of a truth, for the collection is one of the best in the United States.
Then arises the eternal questions, who? where? where? and how? Who is responsible for such a collection? when, where and how was it obtained? In answering these questions too much praise cannot be given to the one person responsible for the greater part of the collection, Prof. F. H. Snow, ex-Chancellor of the University, entomologist and a man of whom the University may well be proud.
Many years ago when Professeo Snow was still chancellor he found one day while out collecting insects, a small wine from some insect, probably dead, with which he was inamilar. As he was an entomologist of some repute and recognized almost immediately parts of all common insects; he was naturally much interested and very eager to find cut what species it belonged. He searched the remainder of that insect for an insect with such wings but without anail. That night he resorted to a study in his library for a description of an insect with such a wing. After many hours a careful searching he finally discovered that it was the wing of a certain species of Coleoptera (or beetle) thought by entomologists to be extinct.
INVISIBLE PAGE GONE FROM THE JAP PRESS
Jiu-Jitsu Equivalent For Horse Whipping Didn't Bother Editors
Tokyo, (By mail) -The "invisible page" of Japanese newspapers is becoming a thing of the past.
"The invisible page" used to be to "Japanese journalism the "man in black" still is to the Japanese stage."
When a person wearing black clothes comes upon the stage of a theatre his presence is unnoticed. Being in black masks makes them very convenient if it is necessary to shift scenes or be on new settings in the midst of an act the stage hands simply put on black cloaks and proceed about their subjects without interaction, actions, and audience alike undisturbed, . . .
By a similar deluxe process, which for a long time was accepted by every body without question newspapers had the custom of printing an "invisible paper." Theoretically it didn't exist. Actually it as read with more zest than anything in the paper.
All the scandal-stuff, an the stories that might start trouble, went on the "invisible page." The public was by custom bound to concede that the page they read first and mostcareerally had never been printed. It had always been in an invisible page story as the star villain in a little ghebisha affair, what could he do about it? It was a social error to sue for libel or give the editor the jin-jiao equivalent of a horsewhipping for the simple reason that "three was no such pizzle!" It was invisible like the star villain.
Then a political sharpachoir on one of the big papers spilled everything. The government had forbidden newspaper discussion of some subject. This writer printed a powerful piece about it on the "invisible page." Somehow or otherwise that "be civil" actually became a television as a Broadway electric billboard. The government insisted upon seeing it. The editor protested that it was invisible. The government said that being the case it wanted to be fair, so it would be content with slapping him in an invisible jail. It suppressed the paranoid week he told us to use his imagined and imagine his business was continuing all the time.
It was a grand little game and everybody played it fairly. A good "invisible naze" editor could name his ten salary, and the sheets with the snappiest "invisible features" sounded to treemounted circulations.
So the invisible angle of the Japanese newspaper game 'became too uncertain, and languished and has just about died.
This was indeed a joyful discovery for Professors Snow for he had proof that, since the wing was one from a living instinct, the specie was not extinct. The task before him was to find the insect to which the wind undoubtedly belonged. This was no simple task.
He: "I can't understand why you girls have so many fart pins." She: "Well, when you have only two, doesn't it always go out?" Judge.
He searched for days near the place where he had first found the wing, but without success. However, he was not discouraged because of this, but when he was unable to succeed by daylight he decided to try night. It was then I learned that he painstaking and untiring efforts, for he had found, not only one, but many of the insects which belonged to a nocturnal group.
He had made a wonderful discovery but the University of Kansas and not himself was to provide a program of research into the insects, he wrote to all universities both in the United States and in foreign lands having rare insect collections, and advised them that he had a limited number of this species. Optional offer value at $50.00 offered to exchange them for other rare and desirable specimens.
Professor Snow's announcement created great excitement amone the entomologists of the world. His offers were accepted so quickly that he was kept very busy for some time collecting soft beetles to supply the demand, and taking are of the rare and expensive specimens he received in return. Thus in this unusual manner was the greater portion of the beautiful collection of insects owned for the University of Kansas.
BHUDDISTS ENDORSE Y WORK
Old Religion Takes on Garb of New Western Model
By CLARENCE DUBOSE
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
(Boylston, By Mail) - If Kihng had it all to do over again he might have to criticise his liking about "East" East and West is West and never the wealth shall meet."
They're meeting so much these days that sometimes they're pretty well mixed.
For example, one of the oldest regions of the East is all sprayed up in a nifty new garb that asks no odds of its western model.
The Bhuddists have gone into the "Y" business. Their's is "A. Y. M. B.A." - Young Men's Bhuddist Association—instead of a Y. M. C. A.
It's going good too. It's putting the self-same attractions and advantages the "other Y" offers, with a background of flimflam in lieu of
The backers of the young Bhudistra movement operated upon exactly the same basis that has so often and so successfully used in shifting to her own needs and conditions the methods of the Occident.
They gave religions of other countries a "once over" and decided that a '\\' would go just as well under one name as another. Besides it would keep the young Blacklists in their own fold. So they offered a lot of gymnastic apparatus to a bunch of beasts, to add to all their collections, started a training school for secretaries and began to put up buildings.
The Bhuddist "Y" is covening in only the largest cities of Japan at present, but the plan is to extend it to other countries, including other countries of the Orient.

The ancient idea of branding numbers of an Indian tribe has been recognized by the auditing committee in connection with the Varity dances. Saturday night as such man handed his ticket to the receiver at the door, and he was told that he and to his surprise he found the word "rabid" strummed on his hand.
Philadelphia, Jan. 6. (United Press).—The cities of Philadelphia and Camden today were celebrating the first physical steps taken in the linking of the two cities by the Delaware river bridge to be constructed here.
Silver Picked to Start Largest Bridge Work
The members of the Variety dance committee for a long time have had difficulty in keeping out the professional spongers, and the idea of branding the truthful ones came to the auditing committee from the University of Nebraska. It will probably be used in connection with other student affairs where the handling of gate receipts occurs.
Dean P. F, Walker left Monday night to attend the convention of the American Engineering Council, held at Washington, D. C., January 5. He is a delegate of the American Society of Civil Engineers of which he is a member.
Following colorful parades in both cities, with floats depicting the benefits of the bridge and the linking of
the two states, Governor Spikin of Pennsylvania, Governor Edwards of New Jersey, Mayor Moore of Philadelphia, Mayor Miles of Chicago, and other district officials of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia assembled at the site of the Philadelphia end of the bridge where the ceremony of breaking ground was held.
Each taking his turn, Governors Soron' and Edwards and Mayors Moore and Ellis struck a silver-plated pick into the ground at the foot of Vine Street near pier No. 11, north wharves, where the actual construction of the foundations will start. Religious ceremonies were also held.
As the silver-plated pick was being welded, two hydrophones (from the Ph'dadelphin Navye Yard soared over and went through an exercise
Thousands of people assembled for the ceremonies and all attire around the site were jammed with automobiles.
with parachutes and streamers, depicting the joining of Camden and Philadelphia, below them in the Delaware River boomed a salute from the old battleship Olympia, Admiral Dewey's flagship. Several other warwives from the navy yard floated on the river.
The Kansas Alpha chapter of Tau Beta Pi, honorary engineering fraternity, elected its officers for the encing ban on Thursday evening 1022.
THE BRIDGE, to be the largest of its type in the world, is expected to be completed by 1925 or 1926.
Tau Beta Pi Elects Semester Officers
The new officers are as follows:
President, R. M. Dungan; vice-president, Fred M. Berkey; recording secretary, Edgar F. Biresak; corresponding secretary, C. A. Gray; treasurer, Loren S. Heason; associate editor of "Bent," Dwight Beard; cataloger, R. H. Wibble-bitten, W. H. Woagland.
Checks for commutation of rations for juniors and seniors of the R. O. T. C. corps are expected daily. Forty cents a day are allowed the chassier, and the money the pay for the quarter ending December 31.
After the election the newly elected officers provided "treats" at Brick's for all members present.

From the N. Y. Evening Post in the footsteps of Faderowski. He is not going to forsake music for diplomacy. He is not going to be Austrian ambassador to the United States. Reports to that effect brought nothing new, but it was a big surprise when he returned to America the other day from Austria.
