JAYHAWKS PROMISE
TIGERS BIG BATTLE
All Men Are in oGod Shape for Last Two Games
Here
LINEUP NOT YET KNOWN
Reserved Seat Sale Has Sur passed Expectations for These Games'
"We'll give the Tiger a terrific battle," is the statement of Dr. F. C Allen concerning the two games here with Missouri Friday and Saturday. The Jayhawk will ruffle his tail feathers and fight harder against the wily Bengal than against any other bundle of baskets in the Vally, and it is barely possible that we may slip over a couple of victories.
The Kansas quintet has no alibi to offer before the Missourians come Lawrenceward. The hoopsters were never beaten, but no one beat them back week no two severe injuries were are trained. Every man is "hitting" i) practice, and the results of the com bats with the Tigers will depend on whether the Jayhawker offense set up a threat.
Rudy, Westemeyer, and Houk will probably get into the games at forward; Wulf and Olsen at center; Ulhraub, Endacott, Meken, and Been at guard. Just what combination Allen was able to say today.
An unusual feature is planned for the interrude between halves Friday night. Misses Caroline House daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. House, and Mary Elizabeth Allen, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. F. C. Allen will stage an interpretative dance entitled, "A Kansas and Missouri Flirtation." The two youngsters are dancers of great ability, and their variation is more entertaining than the ticket sale is greatest than expectations. According to Charles Nettels, of the athletic face, tomorrow morning will probably be the last time to get a reserved seat.
The Missouri contests will be the last of the season here.
Revolving Door Etiquette
The etiquette of the revolving doo has yet to be standardized. At present there are two schools of opinion on the subject. One holds that when a woman in her door, it is the man's place to go first, pushing the door slowly so as to allow his partner to follow in the next compartment without any effort on her part. The other contends that the index still first holds away, but the second one says, for the man to step aside, let the woman start the door revolving, and then jump into the compartment behind her. In this way, it is contended, the man may assume control of the door and guide it until the woman steps out. There is less rivalry prevails between the two schools. —From the Argonaut.

Wednesday after breakfast, paraffin was made in the conversion of paraffin into fatty acids saves an immense amount of edible fats, for paraffin is made of coal and other mineral products. For its use as a lubricant the manufacture of soaps were made by the destruction of foodstuffs.

HAS A HISTORY OF DRIVE
News Letter Outlines the Present and Future Campaigns
The University News-Letter for February, which is being mailed out this week, contains the latest figures in the Stadium-Union Drive, along with a history of the drive in its past and future aspects.
Prof. L. N. Flint, of the department of journalism, edited the News-Letter this month.
The letter contains the following outline of the drive:
Past
April, 1919: Chancellor Strong appointed the Senate War Memorial Committee, whose investigations revealed the fact that the Union and the Stadium were the two favored forms for the K. U. memorial.
November: The plan to raise a Million Dollar fund to be divided 50-50 for a Stadium and a Union proposed to a group of students. An Executive Committee of Alumni, students and faculty was suggested.
April, 1920: First meeting of the Executive Committee. Temporary organization effected. Prof. W. J. Baumgartner elected temporary chairman to serve until a general manager for the campaign should be
November: Stadium-Union drive put on in the University, in which $260,000 was subscribed by students and faculty.
Future
January, 1921; Lawrence and Doug las County business men and alumni added $142,000 to the fund.
February, 1921: Greater Kansas City is expected to get its quota established and subscribed, putting the grand total above $500,000.
March: The Kansas counties and friends and alumni together will carry the amount beyond the original goal.
March: Chicago under the leadership of New York under that of Russell Whitman will tackle big quotas.

New University Heating Plant Will Be Necessary to Carry Extra Stadium-Union Load
He was climbing the hill this morning from the University power house; a big, black, powerful negro, with kinky hair, which was turning white. His name was "Babe" or at least that was what his partner called him, and he was going to Superintendent Shea's office to sign the pay roll.
"Tas-sah," said Babe, "they just pays us once a month, and," whimily, "that isn't near often enough. Babe stated further that "all our stalkers gets the same money," and that it can an hour for an eight hour day.
There are nine boilers in the power house. The morning shift, being the caviest, requires one man to every three boilers, while in the afternoon one boiler is cut out and each of the two men fires four boilers. A cinderman does nothing but clean out the fire boxes and haul away the asher
The men who stoke the fire that heat the buildings of the University of Kansas work in two shifts and only six days a week unless something special happens on the Hill which requires the building to be heated on Sunday. Three men, the first shift, go to work at four in the morning and the second in the evening comes on at noon and goes off at eight o'clock.
A virtual underground city, in the form of tunnels, electrically lighted, and some large enough to stand erect in, is maintained for carrying large amounts of materials in various buildings. A steam pressure of from thirty-five to fourty pounds must be kept at all times as that is the amount required to force the steam to the Oread building which is about a half mile from the power house.
School and all the buildings connected with the University proper. The Chancellor's residence is heated by its own plant.
The coal is contracted for at the mines by the car load, and as much as eight thousand tons, which amounts to sixteen million pounds, have been used at the University in one single year, according to Mr. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds. You can imagine whether a new heating plant would be required to furnish heat for the added burden of the proposed Union building and the few rooms in the Stadium. Mr. Shea says that a new plant certainly will be necessary. "There is no doubt," he said, "but that the present legislature will provide an appropriation for a larger heating system for the University. But if it doesn't, and there he paused to consider the possibility, "well, well just have to close down, that's all."
CONGRESSMEN FIND A NEW POPULAR PASTIME
And a Cry Now Arises About the High Cost of Investigating
The 66th Congress Alone Has Introduced 212 "Investigating" Resolutions
MANY PROBLEMS COVERED
Washington, Feb. 24. "Investigating" continues to be one of the most popular pastimes of Congress.
The cost of these investigations, the senator announced the other day, was reached "scandalous proportions." He said the extent of his cost. No one does.
There is one investigation yet to be investigated—namely, the high cost of investigating.
But another investigation conducted by the United Press, reveals that during the Sixty-sixth Congress, in 2013, many have been introduced asking for 212 investigations. Only sixty of these resolutions, it is true, were passed, but the larger figure indicates that there is no need for investigation still thrives.
Every conceivable subject is covered in the "probes" which Congress desires. Here are a few of them:
Substitutes for railroad crossies. Socialistic activities in the Federal Trade Commission.
Alleged chemical treatment of foods.
Garden, city and suburb movement in Europe.
Feasibility of using saccharin as substitute for sugar.
Suspension of a Washington school teacher.
Discrimination against individual backmen in District of Columbia.
The troubles bothering the American people are reflected to consider-
most extent by the number and amount of proposed investigations. Thus, the high cost of living is covered by at least a dozen different resolutions.
touching upon every imaginable phase of that problem. The same is true of coal price, ex-service men, the housing situation and Mexico.
A British embargo on the sailing of an Argentine steamship
Incompetence and loss of prestige in the war.
Acceptance of gifts by the President.
Whether Henry Ford benefited from the improvement of River Rouge Mich.
The prices of men's collars. Income-tax dodging.
Some of these resolutions are never even voted on. Sometimes, the investigations are approved, but never started. Sometimes they start, but are never concluded; Again, there are investigations which have been completed, but the result hasn't been announced.
It's difficult to figure the cost of these inquiries because no two are conducted in the same way. The cost will depend on the length of the investigation. In some instances, counsel is employed and must be paid. And then there is the expense of stenography and printing. Frequently, traveling and other expenses for witnesses must be paid.

MAY HAVE FIRE ESCAPES
Shea Has Often Suggeste Precautions for Gym
"I have often recommended fire escapes for Robinson Gymnasium and in the near future, probably by next year, we will have them," John M Shea, superintendent of grounds and buildings, said today. "It is necessary for the legislature to appropriate the money and although I wish we had them, wishing will not put the fire escapes on the building.
Precautions for Gym
"The gymnasium is of slow burning construction and there is very little danger of fire. Also, with three road stairways the crowds wouldn't have ample time to leave the building."
SCHWEGLER DEFINES FAITH
"Finest Characteristic in Human Nature." He Says
Doctor Schwegler, in his third address given at the Y. W. C. A. lunches, defined what he said he conceived of. He proposed in human nature, faith. He said:
"Faith," Dr. Schweiger said, "is a psychic function by virtue of which we reach out into the face of things which are not ours." This is an expression of the divine function of contact with God. It is the means of spanning the gap between the definite and the eternal. It is a dynamic function that makes, or molds you to your ideal.
"Tell me the faith in you and I'll tell you what kind of individual you will be tomorrow; tell me the message, tell you how much faith you tell the limit of your personality."
