In a plot fall o fintrecies, embarrassing situations, and humorous precidences, the mystery is unravelled in a most entertaining and amusing manner. It requires the aid of a shrewed detective to finally straighten out the difficulties and to bring the proper party to justice.
The cast of characters includes a variety of types. It portrays the bi-hearted man of sound moral convictions and a personality of strength in the part of Caplain Mowby. It features the man of no moral forcework, easily influenced and self-paging David Cairns. The pastoral ecocountry old colonies are turned into tutor roles and is held with a witty touch. Mrs. Jardine, who divides most of her time to being discomposed by her husband's eccentricities, Mrs. Goringin, who has lost her diamond necklaces with the "three large drops in front", typifies the woman of exegetable and hysterical nature, coupled with an extraneous navy imagination. The two daughters of Colonel Jardine Isaabel and Vicky, and the typewriter witch detective. The members of the east are prominent in K. U. dramatics.
They are; Mrs. Gorrine, Margaret麦玛; Mrs. Jardine,Jessie Martindale; Betty Brendbury; Vicky, Dorothea Eunger; Mice Pottie Iona Pettyty; Captain Amy Shefford; David Shof, Colonel Johned, Burney Miller; Jerigmant the detective, Joe Schwarz; and Charles, Spencer Gard.

Gard, is desirous to handle a great part of the ticket sale as possible, by making the Christmas market begin, and attaching those desiring good seats send in their orders enclosing stamped and addressed envelope immediately. The prices of seats, as previously announced, are $10 for the balloons, and the first four rows of the balcony, and $25 cents for all other balcony seats. These prices include the war tax. Mr. Gard says that coming in the market as ordered as well is to be handled almost entirely by mail order, the best will go first to the early comers.

PLAN NEW SCHEDULE TO ALLOW MEETINGS
Classes. from 8 to 12:50 O'Clock Would Permit Frequent Convocations
UP TO SENATE TUESDAY
Cabinet Sub-Committee Submits Plans to University Ruling Body Tomorrow
Reconstruction of the daily University schedule so as to provide five full morning classes, by running classes from 8 to 12:50 o'clock, and three afternoon classes, by running a bill will be the subject of discussion at a meeting of the University Senate tomorrow afternoon in Fraser Hall, according to an announcement made by order of the University's Cabinet and Advisory Council of the University.
Full details of the reasons pro-
cises, as drawn up by Dean F. J, Kelly have been sent to all Senate members asking their opinions on the measures plans are offered to pro-
cedures for the convection hours at some regular day every week.
"Student reaction" on the plan proposed by a special subcommittee of the Chancellor's Cabinet, is asked by the University administration for discussion at the meeting Tuesday afternoon.
The plan, as offered in the communication to Senate members as the "most feasible and least objectionable" is as follows:
"Be constructive the daily schedule as to provide five full morning periods, by running classes from 8 a.m. to 12:50 p.m., and from 12:50 p.m. to 4:50 p.m. At the third morning period prohibit the scheduling any but two classes that must be scheduled Twice per day from 10 to 11 a.m. for Conventions or other student or faculty meetings. On the rare occasions when a Convocation must come at any other than one of the University "free hours," shift classes should thereby be assigned to a free time shift to be regulated automatically by a predetermined method. While this plan may be criticized as involving minor changes in personal habits, or University customs, (which need not stand in the way of the latest policies) such a scheduling the time schedule of instructors or students yet this may be provided against, by departmental schedule shifts and in most cases it should be noted that it will really bring an early to the day's work and certain classes to the end, instead of 4:20 p.m. and in the extreme cases of laboratory instruction, the longening of time will be relatively slight."

State Geologist Scores "Wildcat" Oil Drillers
"Wildcat" drilling for oil or gas is characterized as a special hazard of the most extreme sort by Dr Raymond C. Moore, state geologist in a new report on "Oil and Gas Resources of Kansas" just issued by the state geological survey at the University of Kansas and called it to be issued in ten separate sections, four covering the state in general, and six on special sections of the state. Concerning preparation for
"It should be noted that none of the large oil companies at present engaged in operations in any of the large oil fields drill wells in entirely unproved territory without any knowledge of the geologic structure A 'wildcat' well drilled without any knowledge of the underground conditions, and at a distance from producing areas, is a speculative metaphor since salt. Consequently, in any area which it is desired to test, reference to all geologic advice should be had at the very outset."
Concerning prospecting for oil Dr Moore says:

REFUSE TO CONCEDE ARGENTINA'S DEMAND
Argentina Breaks With League on Assembly's Refusal to Consider Amendments
MORE DISRUPTION FEARED
Other Countries May Follow Lead of South American Power
Argentina's withdrawal from the League of Nations assembly was accepted in Germany as a forerunner of the League's dissolution.
Gorene, Dec. 6—The League of Nations assembly today refused to concilicate the Argentine delegation which withdrew Saturday. The Assembly voted unanimously to send the eventent to a commission which will report to the 1921 assembly. The amendments included those which Argentina demanded should be acted on immediately or诈谗 them, and the attempt to strike out or amend Articles X was also assigned to the Commission.
Last Saturday, following the League of Nations refusal to consider the amendments to the covenant proposed by Argentina, Honorio Puerreichen, foreign minister of Argentina gave notice that he was preparing the assembly and that Argentina would withdraw from the League.
The trouble started when a motion to postpone the next year's session of the assembly action on all pending amendments to the covenant received favorable votes from all nations except Argentina. Because of the rul-
of the assembly action on all pending amendments to the covenant received favorable votes from all unions except Argentina. Because of the ruling that all actions must be unanimous Argentina claimed that her vote deflected the motion. President Jorge Sánchez issued a matter of procedure and required only a majority vote, Argentina's action followed.
All sorts of rumors and fears of disruption of League were abroad Sunday. It was reported that all of the Latin American nations were in sympathy with Argentina and threatened to follow her lead. Canada New Zealand and Australia were also behind Argentina's stand.
Canada herself had proposed an important amendment and was retested to have the intention of forcing action on it. The amendment provided for striking out Article X, which has caused so much distress that he has not been able to withdraw this. Canada's announcement that she would stand squarely behind Argentina was a bombshell to the assembly.

Catholic School May Help Dedicate Stadium if Centre Refuses Date
Harvard-Kansas at Cambridge,
Mass., and Kansas-Nortte Dane or
Kansas-Centre at Lawrence are two items
that the athletic management
of the University is trying its best to
make come true.
Dr. F, C. Allen, director of athletics, wired Saturday morning to the athletic directors of Notre Dame and Centre, asking them for dates to come to Lawrence early in the season next fall to play the Jayhawkers in the christening game for the new University of Kansas stadium on McCoKean Avenue, a place he the alumni director of athletics at Harvard, stalled Kansas' willingness to come next fall for a game, and requesting a place on the Harvard schedule. No answer was yet received from either of the three, but the athlete director anticipates considerable discussion over such a radial digression from normalcy, as the university is seeking to fund a brace of spectacular interpersonal games with Kansas playing one of the lead parts.
Immediate work on a number of complicated, baffling trick plays is promised by Coach Allen if any of the trans mounted are limited for use. The trickiness are the factors that will enable K. U. to make a strong showing in defense of the honor of the state against such mighty invaders, the coaches think, and will bend every life force to a fast, and versatile offensive.
