Unusual Adventure of Student Returning Home From Vacation Is Only One of Such Experiences
Thoughts of the approaching vacation recall to students various adventures of last summer. Here is one of the experiences told by one who put his faith in the motoring public and became a street stone, paying his heart to the stones.
As the sun was nearly down he began looking anxiously for a straw-stack as he pledged homework in front of his desk. While looking for an attractive wavieside bank, he beared a rattle behind him and saw a sight that brings hope to any highway tramp—a Ford truck. Soon it stopped beside him and he
"How far are you goin'?" asked the driver, a big, unshaven man in overalls.
"To Lawrence," he answered.
"To Lawrence," he answered,
"Well, you ride him as far as Salamain was. Been hitting the harvest?" he wry.
"Construction out in the Basin!"
No sooner had he said this than he realized his error. There he was on a winding valley路 between the very edge of the wooded, steep-banked Paradise creek, and field of tall corn. This was an ideal place for a hold-up.
Site for Hospital Chosen
$1,200,000 Edifice Will Be Built at Fort Snelling
(United Press)
Washington, May 11.—Selection of the Fort Snelling military reservation in Minnesota as a site for a new veteran's bureau hospital was definitively decided upon at a conference at the White House between General Frank T. Hines, director of the veteran's bureau.
Construction of the hospital which is to contain 400 beds and cost $1,200,000 will be commenced immediately. One hundred sixty acres of the 2,200 acres included in the reservation will be devoted to the war department recently authorized the bureau to take over the land.
Hines also discussed with the president location of new hospitals for the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area that over 230 wounds were under consideration for the new three million dollar hospital to be constructed near New York City but that it was owned or ground would be utilized.
Hines also told the president that engineers are now surveying the site at Portland, Ore., donated by the city, upon which a hospital was to be constructed to replace the present leased hospital there.

U. S. Will Pension Indian Scouts of Apache War
Washington, May 10—Indians who served as scouts with General Miles when he chased Geronimo and his Apache band over the southwest and into Mexico in 1885 and 1886 are to be paid pensions by the government—that is, if they can be found.
The superintendent of the agency of the Bureau of Indian affairs on the Puebla Bonito reservation, under directions from Washington, recently visited the soldiers they served with other infantry or cavalry during the Apache war. Out of the entire number of survivors, all between 63 and 80 years old, only four were able to present their discharge papers from the army. Some had forgotten the dates listed, others had destroyed their discharge papers, while still others had forgotten the dates and places of enlistment. Out of the mixup four furnished sufficient information and records, others had destroyed their discharge papers, while still others had forgotten the dates and places of enlistment. One of these was Juerte Gonzalez, who displayed a finger through which he was shot, as scouts under General Miles ars.
Most of the Indians who served Navajos, and efforts are being made to identify those entitled to pensions
French Scientist Wins Medal
Darkness was approaching and he had told these men he had been working which would indicate that he was not broke. Moreover, this was the time of year when thugs and hi-jackers were most active.
Washington, May 10.—The most outstanding scientific book of the past year, in the opinion of the National Academy of Sciences, now in print by the University of the art and civilization of the Stone Age, for which the Academy today awarded the Daniel Girard Elliot medal to its author, the Abbé Henri Broul. This medal, which is the highest literary honor in the gift of France, was first time in 1917; the Abbé Broul is its eighth recipient.
The men were both large, merciless appearing fellows. He watched them talking to each other in low tones as they took fresh quids of snuff. After they arrived, he looked seated looked back, not at the pickled up traveler, but down the road. A car was in sight so he motioned the driver to go on. Surely, he was in a trays. As soon as the road was clean, he reasoned, they could stop, dry-crack him, and rob him, then roll him back, and bank into the waters of Paradise.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
The car behind passed them, leaving the road clear in both directions. The driver pulled out to the roadside and stopped. The passenger climbed out, saying to the driver as he did his way back and guard and I did the dirty work."
As he alighted he discharged his Cepenhagen between his teeth, and turning toward the corroffeld, he said, "The farm is too small to enjoy a feed of fresh corn."
Lawrence Has Oldest Drug Store in Service
The oldest drug store which has given continued service west of the Mississippi River is located in Lawrence. This store, then a wild scheme out on the western frontier, was started by B. W. Woodward in the spring of 1853. It was the idea of the company to sell and retail establishment with headquarters in Lawrence but with the sudden growth of Kansas City to
the east which, seemingly, was better located, the wholesale end of the business was moved there. Frank Wardles will manage the investment and the wholesale business carried the name of Faxon, Woodward Wholesale Drug Co. This firm has developed into the present large department of Faxon, Gallagher & Co.
The retail end which remained in Lawrence was located on the present Bower sock Theater site but in August, 1863, the old store was raided and burned by Quantrill and his men. The present building was built one block south the following year, and it comprised brick, two stories high, and the north east corner was rounded, probably only for convenience sake, but this appealed to Mr. Woodward. He changed the name to the Round Corner Drug Store, under which name the establishment is still managed. The firm is incorporated under that name and is owned by W. H., and owns the building itself, a-owned. The store building is one of the oldest in use in Lawrence.
Rubber Streets Possible in Future, Say Engineer
Washington, May 10—Roads and pavements in the future may be built of rubber, according to engineers here who point out the vast increase in the use of rubber products and the need to utilize waste residue and partly worn and damaged material.
(United Press)
If a sufficient supply of rubber can be secured through such salvaging and also through increase in raw rubber supply, there is no doubt that we are building in our best roads and streets of rubber, these engineers say.
Rubber is not only less noisy than asphalt and concrete but much more enduring, it is agreed. It may prove to be sufficiently more enduring to make it a less costly form of paving when running run than are the present materials.
The army is looking into the possibilities of some such development because of its prime interest in good roads as a factor in preparedness.
That rubber roads are entirely practicable and highly satisfactory has already been demonstrated. It is this point by army officers follows:
A rubber pavement laid in the city of London in 1870 was renewed for the first time less than two years ago. An experimental rubber roadway at Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, was found to have worn down only one-eighth of an inch in eleven years. The Canotaph at London is surrounded by noiseless rubber paving blocks. Its use for bridge surfacing "
Charles Black, former star Jay Hawkeye athlete, was in Lawrence over the week end on a short vacancy. Black is now coaching at GrimesH.
Process for Blood Flow Measurement Is Found
Washington, May 10—A quantitative measurement of the flow of blood, sought in vain since the discovery of the circulation by Harvey in the seventeenth century, has at last been made possible. Prof. Yan Fang, a researcher at Haggard, of Tale University, described the new process today before the meeting here of the National Academy of Sciences.
(Science Service)
The method depends on the rate at which the blood absorbs ethylidole, a harmless gas, when the latter is supplied in a known proportion in the air breathed. By measuring the amount taken in by the blood, we can calculate the amount given off—generally very little—the total volume of blood flowing through the lungs in a given time can be calculated.

Review Will Be Staged at Bowersock Theatre

Fisk will display works from his popular acts in the Dramatic club revue, Cerchez La Femme, will be used, in addition to seven other acts of entirely different nature. The revue will be run as an accessory to the regular motion picture offerings

Influence of American Methods Felt in London
One said his cursing was done equally well with either hand.
(United Press)
London, May 10. — Persistently and rapidly the Americanization of the most cosmopolitan capital in the world — London is becoming a fact.
(United Press)
The social life of the Old World capital is affecting the mannersisms of New York, but American methods have made greater progress in English commercial organizations. A tour of many offices and buildings reveals old imported American furniture and the new express elevators familiar to inhabitants of American skyscrapers.
"Odile Englise Alce" by tradition a feature of London eatingshouses, has a competitor in selection of soft drinks. The book agent in a fraternity pub is a columnist of the newspapers are filled with features boosting the advantages of education at selected colleges, and training by postal service agents, and commercial subjects of all kinds-distinct American importation.
American architecture is being copied throughout the flood of new buildings being erected to cope with the encreasing demands of London's commercial activities. Regent street, undergrowing almost entire renovation, might easily be mistaken for Fifth Avenue—with one exception. Skyscrapers are not allowed by English law.
