INDIANS LIVED IN A STONE AGE Museum Has Crude Implements
The Indians of North America might be said to have been living in a stone age at the time of the discovery of America. Practically all their weapons and tools were of flint and bone. On the third floor of the Museum, at the north end, are several cases containing Indian weapons. There are several thousand flint arrow and spear heads, shaved knives, a number of grooved axes, two arrows, a collection of steel tipped arrows. The Indians did not learn to use steel tips for arrows until comparatively recent years.
Axe Weighs 20 Pounds
The grooved axes are made of granshape a modern hard-ax, but instead of having holes through them for it, basalt and schist, and resemble in hands, they have grooves into the handles, and these grooves prevent them from slipping off. The average ax will weigh three or four pounds. One huge ax, however, measures a foot in length and will weigh about
There are two bows about five feet long in one of the cases. One is labelled, "Probably for a child," but it looks stout enough for a man.
How Arrow Heads Were Made The spear and arrow heads vary
greatly in shape and size. The bird arrow points are small, some of them not more than 1/2 inch in length, while the war points are as long as three inches. Spear points are from three to six inches long, some long, some broad, some round, some flat. They are made from flint and quartzite. The Indian arrow maker managed to chip his points so accurately. He held the pieces of flint under pressure in forceps tipped with horn or bone. With another piece of horn or bone he commenced tapping lightly on the edge of the flint which chipped off in small flakes. The serrated edges of some of the points show a groove. The edge and shape of the chips in the cases is a number of flat, leaf shaped knife knives which were used in the hunt and in war.
SHEA WILL HAVE TENNIS
COURTS ROLLED WHEN DRY
The tennis courts will be ready for use as soon as the weather permits. Superintendent John M. Shea said afternoon that the courts had remained covered and were wicker, and would be rolled as soon as the ground had dried sufficiently.
It is the plan of Dr. James Na-
smith to fix up a girls' hockey court
on ground, how now the team is
this. This was used as the girls'
playground last season.

An Expanding Vocation
that merits the investigation of the high school student who is attracted towards science is that of
Chemical Engineering
The demand for experts in this line is as keen as the desire of manufacturers for better processes and for the utilization of by-products.
The pecuniary rewards include both large salaries and liberal percentages of the saving which the chemist brings about.
The course in the University is complete, and after the necessary practical experience and work in research, leads to the degree of chemical engineer.

The Kansas track enthusiasts who journeyed to Kansas City for the annual Indoor meet to see the much advertised race between Abel Kivit of New York and Joey Ray of Chicago were sadly disappointed when the two men started in different events and did not hook up in dual competition.
Klivit says he was requested to run a mile and came here trained for that distance. Ray was trained to run one-half miles against the diminutive jeweler from Manhattan and there the matter ended. Klivit can not be blamed for re-using a mile for the in habit of going longer than distance rather than over it.
If Ray agreed to meet Kiviat in a mile race it is proper that the A. A. U. suspend him for refusing to carry out his part of the agreement. It is up to Director Riley of Kansas City to sift the matter to the bottom for the burden is on him, knowing these men to run the mile, knowing that they had not agreed to do so. If the race was merely a ruse to draw people to the meet, it will hurt the future contests that the K. C. A. C. stage.*
Missouri uncorcked a cracking good relay quart last Saturday, which presages a battle royal on March 12. Should this meet depend on the relay as did the Aigle contest, fast time is needed to avoid a fast goer over the double furling distance by besting the much touched Cowman in an added exhibition, in the attempt to make a farcical relay a "thriller." The K. U. men had previously been disqualified, so Rolley was forced to start directly behind Cowman instead of waiting for the next Jayhawker, who was yards to the rear.
Inquiries at Manager Hamilton's office indicate that more than fifty teams will enter the 1915 interscholastic basketball series under the K. U. faculty committee's auspices. The shortening of the preliminary matches and other changes seem to have met with a popular response.
Arkansas City, which now holds the girls' trophy, has an exceptionally well-balanced team this year. The boys' team plays against and accurate toppers. Reno County is leading the Western league among the boys' teams while Iowa and Lawa-na play in this neck of the woods. Kansas City, also has a winning aggregation.

Trappings Recall Former Glories
The K. U., track squad is no place for a loafer—especially in these turbulent days just before the annual indoor meet with the Missouri Tigers, to be held in Convention Hall, Kansas City on March 12. Every man on the team, and every man who has any hopes of playing in the national tournament, easily every day, and working hard. For Coach Hamilton is out after a winning team.
A shudder ran down the feathers in the chief's war-bonnet as it hung in its case on the third floor of the museum. "Its disgusting the way we are being stared at," growled the three feathers nearest the end of the long red strip which had once hung down some haughty chief's back.
CHIEF'S REGALIA RESTS IN MUSEUM

"I wish I could locate a good sprinter," he said this morning, "and a good upper-class hurrier. How I wish some of them fare better than we for us! But they can't, and we must do our best with the material we have."
Following is the program for the Missouri-Kansas meet: 50-yard dash 50-yard low and high hurdles, quarter-mile, half-mile, and two-mile, relay, pole vault, shot put (16 pound) and high jump.
"You are not the only ones," sighed the tobacco pouch with its blue and yellow beads and red grass trimmings. "I'm always examined most carefully." I even heard one woman say that if the tobacco smell was all gone out of it?"
“As if any of you were studied half as often as we are,” exclaimed the beaded moccasins. “We were once the dearest treasure of a little Indian’s heart. That was a long time ago, but see our roses now with rows of yellow and blue and green ones,” and they shuffled proudly.
The pile of steel-headed arrows moved a little farther into the corner and listened disdainfully to the argument. After having killed a few dozen men in their youth it was not sure they in their such a foolish discussion.
The gaudily painted bow and the long, slender, well decorated one, strung with sinew, stretched themselves laxily and smiled at the recollection of scenes of conflict which they had witnessed. "But its all in the game after all, you know," said the long, slender one with a shrug.

With her wooden feathers pressed tight against the chief's bonnet stood the medicine desk, black and white contrasted beautifully with the delicate green of her cheeks. Her little feet patted the floor impatient. "How silly they all are except you, dear," she cooed as she snuggled closer to the war-bon
HISTORIANS
State Institutions Should Collect Material, Educator Says
Christian Science Monitor.
Pointing out that the decisive influences in national life have moved from the states to the center, Prof. J. A. Woodburn of the University of Indiana, at the recent convention of the American Association of State Universities on the state universities to gather and publish the histories of their own commonwealths.
"No one will understand what happened in national politics and why it happened, without a knowledge of state affairs," said Professor Woodburn. "This is very foresightful thus political history. What is going on in the political fields of Kansas, New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Illinois determines the course of American politics. Without the records from the states the historian of America cannot portray the national idea in any serious or significant way. So we show that the materials of its history not only for its own sake but for the sake of the country at large.
Do Research Work in History
Do Research Work in the state.
"The state's historical history should lend its students history by providing men who can oversee and direct capable students in the study of appropriate topics and in arranging and editing local historical material. The expense of publication and preservation need not be assumed by the unit because they will be co-produced in cooperation with other agencies of the state. Some state historical societies have direct state connection and support. Where they have not the state should be encouraged to establish a permanent historical commission which should perform the documentation and collection duties—the collection, preservation and publication of the state's archives and documentary history."
This work should be done by the department of history of the university, Professor Woodburn held, but said that the courses courses in state history because of its relative unimportance to the general curriculum.

"Soccer" Secretary Criticizes Ameri- can-Made Game Severely
From the New York Times.
Thomas W. Cahill, secretary of the United States Soccer Football Association, in a recent interview in Boston, said several uncompetitive national teams had played football, as played in this country. The soccer authority inferred that there was more need for brutal strength in the American game than in soccer in these countries, and these necessities were replaced in the latter game by skill and science.
Thinks Soccer is Coming
Mr. Cahill asserted that hardly a game is played in American football without some of the participants being severely injured, and stated that the American game, since its origination from the English game of Rugby, has been altered and revised almost beyond recognition. He also predicted success and prosperity for the English soccer game in this country, taking his inference from the amount of interest displayed in the game. Mr. Cahill said the English Pilgrims came over to display their ability. Discussing the game, its prospects and developments in this country, Mr. Cahill said:
More Skill in Soccer
"Football should be such as to create good feeling between opponents, and the game should be such as can be looked upon with pleasure and enjoyment, strength and brutality are eliminated and are substituted by skill and science. I cannot say this of American football—not that I deny that there are skilful moves in American football-I believe there are—but these are far outweighed by the desire to win. The American game played but severe accidents take place, and hence the game is robbed of the real pleasure. In soccer football a small fellow has just the same chance of gaining his place on the college or school team as he was at home. He is just as interested and just as enthusiastic in the welfare of his school and city."
