LOST CHIEF HUMORIST WHEN THOMAS QUIT
Colorado Senator Brought Relief During Hot Debates
Washington, March 18—(United Press.) When Senator Charles S. Thomas of Colorado left the Senate on March 4, that august body lost much of the concur relief that occasionally debated on whichever pratic legislation.
The Senate was considering an amendment of the agricultural bill, providing $15,000 "for the study of process and methods of home tanning of lace and other leathers used on the farm."
"I should like to inquire," said Thomas, "what lace headdress is, I know there was a species of 'home tanning' in vogue when I was a small boy, but that was some time ago. Since then home tanning has to need recognition." What is it?
Thomas was told that the amendment did not refer to the punitive exertions of veered parents, but that they were already covered by the belts and the mending of harrows.
The trouble with farming today, according to Thomas, is that it has become an "appropriation industry."
"Long age," he explained, "we reached the point where any activity upon a farm, no matter where it may occur, or what the activity is, at once proceeds with lightning speed to Washington for an appropriation and for paternal investigation at so much per year. In the good old days when farmers worked in fields when farmland was not farmed as they are nowadays, the farmers secured for themselves needed articles of both production and manufacture."
Then Thomas took a crack at Senator Ashurst of Arizona, who had obtained a $10,000 increase in the appropriation for stuating the physiology of plants by serving the Senators with choice varieties of western dates.
"I am particularly struck," Thomas said, "by the new method of securing appropriations—that of producing some samples of the subject that is sought to be sweetened by an application and passing it around to others." He then looked at dates yesterday, which cost the people of the United States $10,000.
"Hereafter, I have no doubt that when the agricultural bill is to be considered, the Senate Chamber will be converted into a delicatessen store. Each senator will have his wares ready, to be passed around and sampled by the law-makers, whose votes will be influenced to some degree by the palatable nature of the commodity in question.
"I hope that practice will not be extended to the animal department of this bill. We now make large appropriations for the extermination of predatory animals. There is one predator animal whose presence in the Chamber might change its atmosphere in a stampede instead of an appropriation. I hope the exhibits will be confined to fruits and vegetables."
Ruralist Finds Fowl Molars at University
"Wanted!" Hen's teeth. 'Wouldn't that get you," said I, H. Martin several days ago when he received a complaint about the need for some had some bit his teeth for sale.
"How that man living in a rural district knew that we had bird teeth here is a mystery to me," said Mr. Martin. "Tare are only two museums in the world having such specimens, the Natural History Museum at Kansas University and Yale University Museum."
Although teeth are not present in any of the modern forms of bird life, in the age of reptiles birds did have sharp teeth. These teeth have ten of these rare teeth belonging to a specimen of fossil bird which was discovered by Mr. Martin in 1894. These teeth are skaker and triangular, and seem to be about a quarter an inch long.
Mr. Martin said that these teeth did not grow in sockets as teeth ordinarily do but fitted next to each other in a little recess formed for their reception in a groove of the jaw bone. He, also, said that the bird having these teeth probably resembled a penguin more than any other of our present bird forms, and was a typical diver having no wing power at all.

PLANS FOR BANQUET DISCUSSED AT MIXER
Medics to Give Dinner at Univer sity Club in Kansas City April 25
About fifty-five medical students and faculty attended the mither held at the Chamber of Commerce rooms Wednesday night. The first part of the evening was spent in getting acquainted.
At the meeting, plans for the medical school banquet were discussed. The banquet will be held at the University Club in Kansas City April 25 Committees' were appointed to cooperate with the board on the affair a success. Chancellor Lindley will be the chief speaker.
"Those present felt the need for organization in the medical school and co-operation in carrying out the program to be put across by the University. The group of medical association, in his talk at the mixer last night, Mr. Corb quoted a statement from Alfred G. Hill, secretary of the Alumni Association: "There were 20,000 letters sent out to physicians over the state. We have received the result of the Rosedale proposal. At the eleventh hour some of the legislators who had 'opposed the Rosedale Bill came to me and said.' 'We are going to vote for the bill that was originally said he said it was a good thing.'"
Mr. Hill thinks that the problem of obtaining adequate support for the UnUniversity will be much easier in the future if we have the right programs and well trained school distributed through the state who are rendering real service to Kansas.
