All successful candidates will be arranged in their order of merit as determined by the final examination and will be appointed to a promotional list in the same order without regard to the branch of the Army in which they are appointed.

Tom Lane Went to Minneapolis Via Freight Car

third counsel. He's pretty sure he was eligible and he needed the help, but he had no money with which to buy a railroad ticket.
The same afternoon he received the letter he went down to the railroad yards and crawled into an empty box car bound for Kansas City. After arriving there night Lane Talked down on a coal car, climbed down in the coal car and slept. He woke up in Omaha the next morning.
From Omaha, he caught a passenger train on the Great Western
bound for Minneapolis. He rode the blind baggage, and settled himself comfortably at the end of the mail car.
"I rode and rode, and late in the afternoon 1 began to feel pretty hungry and piky stiff. Finally, along about 5 minutes out and saw me," Lane said. "After a moment of silence I decided that the mail clerk didn't mind my being there so I asked how long it would be before he arrived. The mail clerk replied, "About four hours." Lane then found out that he was on a train bound for Chicago so he dropped off at the next station, got something to eat, and found that the train he boarded was due in twenty minutes.
"This time luck was against me they saw me get on and a conductor put me off and told me not to get on and I fell asleep. I missed me except the last one, I just managed to grab the last one by the rear railing and crawled on top. I arrived in Minnesota with frozen to soak and about famished.
It was worth the trouble and the misery because I applied for aid to the Federal Board and got it," says Lape.
He is back in school now and says 'hat the trip was a great experience
ART EXHIBIT VALUED AT SUM OF $150,000
Critics Say Mrs. Thayer's Collection is Inestimable in Its Worth to Kansas
The Thayer collection of graphic arts given by Mrs. W, B. Thayer as a memorial to her husband is one of the finest in the country and the best in the middle west. Mrs. Thayer made the gift to encourage students to paint the darkest west. The collection is estimated at $150,000, according to Prof. W. A. Griffin, former head of the department of painting and drawing in the School of Fine Arts, who noted that Mrs. Thayer had exhibited彩色 textual value to Kannas.
The collection contains many oil paintings by modern masters. They include cavavats by Innes, Homer, La Farge, Daughtery, Mendagas Babba and others. There are also fifteen Japanese and Chinese water colors and prints. There are more than a thousand works of art of historic value in textiles. The work is elitistic of the religion and customs of many centuries among different cultures. The entire collection compares more than 5,000 art objects.
The collection is now on display on the third floor of Middle Administration building but is open only to students with a supervisor. As soon as the building is completed and proper causes secured for the objects the collection will be opened to the public. The collection is of too great value to be shown without proper casing and supervision, according to authorities.
Mrs. Thayer has been giving a series of lectures on the art treasure and will give them what time the collection, or a new objects, will be on exhibit.
STILL EAT HUMAN BEINGS
"King of the Monkeys" Says Cannibals Eat Each Other
New York, March 22—(United Press.)—Reverend Roger S. Gupill, Methodist missionary to the Congo Belge, named by the canniballistic natives, "King of the Monkez" recently from France for England or Kenya in his mission station in the heart of the African jungles. Rev. Guptill received this name when with his wife and infant son he went 17 days' trek into the bush on a mission trip to Cairo railroad of the village of Kabongo, paramount chief of the Lua cannibals.
Mrs. Guptill and her baby were the first white woman and child to venture into that country, and all along the way they were the objects of the greatest curiosity by the natives, some with polished arrows and spars. The Guptill infant was carried in a screen with wire screen clocks and key, suspended from a pole which rests on the shoulders of two native carriers.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
At the capital of the Chief Kabongo the Guilfiedills for six months, during which time the minister won many converts to Christianity. His church was built by convicted cannibals condemned as a penalty for shooting poisoned arrows to chief's son and to investitient disappearance of eighteen native carriers from the caravan of a Belarusian official.
Rev. Guptill says the natives eat each other as much as formerly, but they take care to burn the bones to powder which they scatter in the swamps, thus hiding all trace of their deed.
