THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
SECRET SERVICE MAN TELLS EXPERIENCES
Professor Browne, of School of Fine Arts, Speaks to University Club
Genuine incidents of dangerous detective work that rival the "Conan Doyle" type in their complexity and interest, were what the faculty members of the University Club heard last night when Prof. Harold Putman Brown, of the School of Fine Arts, gave a brief account of his experiences as a United States secret service man in France.
Browne was marshalled into the secret service from the regular army. During his two months training, and eleven months of actual work, he assisted in the execution of his duties and had some weird and exciting experiences in so doing.
On one occasion, in while in quest of information about a suspected man, Browne went from Breast, France, to a little island in the British Channel, and in one of the cells of a big abandoned prison there, found behind a thick stone wall a cavity in which were stored hundreds of valuable papers obtained by Germany in her espionage work among the Allies.
On another occasion, Browne followed up and convicted a notorious woman agent of the Germans, who was among army officers in Paris.
When President Wilson visited France, Browne was detailed as his special bodyguard, and was with the President from the time of his landing at Brest to the close of the Peace Conference. He then went to Copenhagen and LüderGeorge in their diplomatic councils with the President.

Fictionists, whose main idea of a college is a table littered with poker chips and surrounded by cigarette holders in bowlowl cups, are due for a severe jolt.
"Bob-tailed Flush" Goes In Discard With All Poker Words On Advent Of Auction Bridge
At least that is the case at the University. Of course, there are cigarettes and pipes of all shapes and descriptions, for they can be common, especially well on a table. But the poker chips—well, they are fast being extinct.
Sitting up until the wee, we hours of dawn is becoming pass. No more does the undergraduate attempt to "draw out on shorts" or "fourthump"
this way through college. The language of “bulls,” “ducks,” and “five in a row” is no longer common. Gambling is practically ruled out.

Instead of poker, the game of auction bridge is now popular. This kind of card contest, at the time thought to be only a "indies' game," and belonging to the elite, has taken hold of the Hill, and at nearly every sorority or fraternity house, its devices can be found attempting to we rubbers by the trick and honor system. Auction has been said to be the most scientific game, and the games, and the Elwell, whose sensational death was the talk of the entire country last summer, said once that it would sometime be made a part of college and university curriculums. He said that it was, unless carried to excess, one of the greatest mind developers in the world, its players learning good judgment, and the art of analysis from its many problems
Mary Franklin, c'24, Helen Ekeldt,

Ruth Herthel, e22 spent the weekend with friends in Abilene.
It is not a hard game in which to learn the principles, although it may be confessed that many beginners commit such crimes as trumping a partner's ace, or doubling without a fcecord or trump.
Other card games popular among students are cribbage, five-hundred, and pitch Solitaire, especially "social solitaire" is always with us. Chess and cribbage are popular over-popular. But the demise of poker, the "great American pastime" is at hand. Its loss will be mourned by many.
