M. P.'s Are So Poor Life Is Not Happy
London. (By Mail to United Press.)
—A Member of Parliament's Life is not a happy one.
In fact, various M. P.'s gathered themselves together into a Select Committee in order to prove just how unhappy a life they led. The general constitution is the same as that of the men who represent nothing—lack of cash. The salary of a member of Parliament is 400 pounds a year—or less. It is true that the constitution does not lift them "above the ordinary worries of the kitchen."
The upshot of the whole investigation was that the following recommendations are to be made:
M. P.'s pointed out that their incomes only permitted them to travel third-class on the railways and they compared themselves to "Taran of the Apen" on account of the invariable and unnecessary exercise they got "straplapping" in the crowded trains each day.
No change in M. P's salaries, but that the 400 pounds should be regarded as expenses and therefore not heavy in tax, which is very heavy in tax.
Free postage on parliamentary letters.
This probably constitutes the most human document that has ever appeared in the guise of a White Paper.

More Than Was Spent in History of Nation for Education
FOR PILLS $800,000,00
Uncle Sam's Luxury Budget Has Surprisingly Big Flippers
Washington, March 30, (United Press.)—More money was spent for luxuries in the United States in response to a flood in the entire history of the country, according to figures from the office of Dr. P. P. Clayton, United Press.
Completed figures for 1918 show that instructors in all of our schools receive salaries totalling $402,745,246. Here is how the luxury budget of these instructors is funded.
The total spent on luxuries in 1920 was $22,770,000,000. In 1918, the country spent $19,129,258 for the mercantile and history fields. For America的历史 and until 1920, a grand total of $16,455,000,000 was devoted to education. Included in the figures are items for public education, elementary and secondary, and college students. Teachers, colleges, universities and professional and technical schools, whether supported by public taxation or privately owned Salaries for teachers, cost of buildings, upkeep and equipment also are

Claxton pointed out that the people of the United States blew away in smoke of cigarettes and cigars $830,000,000 more than was used in 1918, while the total cost of all forms of tobacco in 1920 was five times the total of teacher's salaries in 1918. If the people who smoke and chew could only take two smokes in the place of three and two chews in the place of three chews they would not support the schools, the salaries of all teachers could be increased by more than 120 per cent. he said.

At the first threat of the green bug invasion, Prof. S. J. Hunter, State Entomologist, asked Professor Dean of the State Agriculture College to take part in the fight against the pest which was such a serious damage to the wheat industry. Professor K. S. A. C. was sent, and is now assisting Professor Lawson.
Professor Lawson of the department of entomology is just back from Montgomery, Labette, and Wilson counties, where he has been conducting a campaign against the green bush invasive among the farmers of that county.

Professor Lawson said that the upland fields had suffered most severely from the green bug which is infesting the cats and rye as much as the wheat. For artificial methods of controlling this pest, spray with dry leaf 40, and to plow under the worst infested regions. The present cool weather is especially favorable to the green bug, which is active at a lower temperature that the parasite. However, with warmer weather and the greater activity of the vigorous growth of the wheat, members of the department feel that the wheat crop will be saved from any general, widespread loss.

Prof. Dismissore Alter of the department of astronomy gave an illustrated lecture on astronomy at a meeting in Chicago, Ill., on Thursday via Hall at 8:00 o'clock Tuesday evening. Before the lecture a business meeting of the society was conducted, and it was decided to have an architectural banquet some time early in May.

He did not deal with the technical side of the subject, but throughout his talk emphasized the point of the infinite universe, by showing photographs and drawings of the various parts of the solar system were drawn on the screen.
"It is nice," said Professor Alter in concluding, "to be broad enough to know something about the entire subject of astronomy. However, the field is so large that one man could not expect to go deep in many parts of the subject. In order to do any research on a topic, you must entire time on one branch, and although this may make a man narrow, 'in narrowness there is depth.'"

LAST SENIOR MEETING PROMISES EXCITEMENT
Quiz Exemption, Junior Prom and Committee Reports— Busy Session
The senior meeting tomorrow will be the last of the year until commencement time, according to John Bunn, president of the class. The meeting of all last-year students is called for 12:20 clock in Fraser Chapel, and Bunn especially urges every senior to meet this one meeting.
"All business and reports of committees will be made at this meeting," Bumy says, "and there will be no more meetings, and we meet if we get a good attendance."
The senior budget will be one of the things that will be deinitely settled at this meeting. Bunn says, and the details of the commencement week program will be in good shape by tomorrow noon.
Whether or not seniors must pay full admission price to the Junior From this year, as has been rumored over the campus, will probably also come up to the students of the class. Much indignation has been expressed by the in-ct-year students over this report reported over-riding of the old and new rooms; some that the seniors entertain the seniors at the big party of their year.
The possibility that the faculty may not exempt the seniors having grades of As and Bs from their final examinations is expected to draw hot fire from some quarters, with the probability of some concrete action being advocated by the more tempestuous classmen and women.
