Ideal Conditions Expected to Help Shatter Records
Slight Rain Settles Cinder Track and Cools Air on Eve of Great Event.
Des Moines, Iowa, April 24—Slightly overcast skier over the scene of the 16th annual Drake relay carnival. A light shower on the night beat down the clinder track and it is predicted that if no more rain falls, ideal conditions will exist for a skiing run or the snapping of world's records.
with the refusal of Willie Ritola, Finnish star, to appear against a field of select runners, K. L. Wilson, director of the meet, planned to secure Joe Ray of the Illinois Athletic Club to run in a distance race against a fast field as yet undetermined. Willie Ritola has mandated an "achorbitant price" for his appearance and that he refused to pay it.
Features on today's program include the battle for world honors in the 400 yard relay in which the Kansas team, which shuttered the record a week ago, will be opposed by Illiit Neikka, and other crack teams.
The special low hurdle race will bring some of the world's fastest in this class, including Charles Brookins of Iowa, the present holder of the title of world's fastest club star! "Babe" Cubeh of Iowa, national interchallenged Champion; George Simpson of Drake, north central conference champion and probably Morgan Taylor of the world's championship at 400 yards.
Harold Osborne of Illinois will attack to equal his own world's record of 6 feet 8-1-16 inches in the high jump, a special event. Sixteen states are represented at the meet nearly 2000 stars will participate.
Delta Tau's Win Game
Soft Ball Tournament Advances Into Second Round
The Delta Tau Delta fraternity defeated the Kiappa Alphas in the second round of the intermural soft ball tournament by a score of 24 to 17. The team was unable yet by any team in the tournament, the Delta Tau running in eleven scores in one innning. Wade Cloud, catcher for the winning team proved the "Hulse Ruth" of the tournament, "missing the ball for two circuit drives."
In a hard fought game the Sigma Nus nosed out the Turner club by a score of 1 to 0. Both teams were weak in hitting, but the fielding of the Sigma Nus far exceeded the loose playing of the Turner club.
The Kappa Sigmas played air tight ball and shut out the Sigma Alpha Epsilon 5 to 0. The fielding of the S. A. E. was rather erratic at times and this was the big factor in the accumulation of runs for the Kappa
Overcoming an early lead made by the Phil Delta Theta, the Kipp Kappas rallied and come out with the long end of an 8 to 2 score. Wilbur Smith, hard hitting third baseman for the Kappas, was the star of the contest.
Comets Lounge About the Original Solarium
The attention of stargazers has been called by the Harvard observatory to two new comets which have recently been observed in the system. It is supposed that they have been attracted by the magnetic personality of our sun to visit his
Whether they are now departing or are still approaching the sun is unknown but it is hoped that observers will determine the course of their travel.
These wanderers were first sighted from Europe, and warnings for astronomers to be on the lookout was broadcast from there. Prof. W. A. Coganhall, of Carnegie University, see one of them and has photographed the other. The one photographed appears to have a tail, an ornament which comets do not assume until close to the sun. If the comets should be found still to be approaching the sun, they may enough to be visible to the naked eye.
Harvey Walker of the Municipal Reference Bureau will go to Manhattan next Monday to explain to the city officials the new system of zoning laws granted to that town by the 1925 session of the county legislature which were granted similar laws and have also asked for explanations.
Ball Tourney Develops Close Contest for Finals
With the soft ball tournament neeying a close several teams are showing much promise of being close contenders in the finals. In a game featured by the heavy hitting of Wade Cloud, the Delta Tau's defeated the Pi K. A.'s by a score of 24 to 6.
The Kappa Siggs shut out the Sig Alphs and won by a score of 4 to 0. One of the closest games of the tournament, played between the Sigma Nu's and the Turner Club resulted in a Sigma Nu victory 1 to 0. Phi Kappa defeated Delta Theta by a score of 8 to 2.

Three Caricature Stages Shov Development of Powers of the Art
Political Cartoonist Discussed in Lecture by Prof. F.H. Hodder
"Thomas Nast was the most famous cartoonist of the Civil war period," said Professor F. H. H. Holder yesterday afternoon in an illustrated lecture to the History club, on the blood of American political caricature.
"One of Nast's outstanding cantoes," continued Professor Hodder "represents Horace Greely trying to clasp the hands of the North and South across the bloody chasm of the Andersonville prison. Nast was the first cartoonist to introduce the elephant as the symbol of the Republican party. Nast applied to men who were honest but mistaken the same method he used against the thieves and thugs who looted New York.
"The second period of the later American political caricature is that of the illustrated comedy, weekly. The first of these magazines was Puck, a Democratic organ. It did not become powerful until about 1880 with the development of a process of printing, which included the interesting article were 'Wake Over The Remains of the Democratic Party' in 1880. The Olympus of Corruption' deridely represented the various Republican leaders as gods. Judge was established about this time, by the Republican party to meet the attacks of the Democrat. One of its famous cartoons was "Chicken Wives," published nearly 20 years. This showed the recently elected Cleveland as Santa Claus about to fill the stockings of the Democrats with appointments.
"The third period of political culture, said Professor Hodder, is the modern newspaper period. This stage began about 1896 and developed so much during the Spanish American war that it became an established fixture. The cartoon in 1898 were drawings by the artist; the cartoons of this last period include the work of McCutcheon. His cartoon 'The Mysterious Stranger' in 1900 was the result of the election of a Republican Governor in Missouri for the first time since Reconstruction. It showed a stranger, heading for a city where he would cut Cutechoe's work was powerful because of its simplicity.
"Pauline Keever's Ride," a cartoon of 1916, had as its basis the supposed election of Hughes until last minute returns from California gave Wilson his election to a Miss California riding out of the heat bearings the news of the vote for Wilson. It is interesting to note, finished Professor Hooker, that an admired professor in North America sent the United States as a bog ready to decorall it all it can get.
Heat Wave Comes Early
High Temperatures Reported in Several Cities
Chicago, April 24—Summer hit most of the country yesterday, but snow in Nevada and rain in parts of the middle west have tended to reduce the temperature somewhat. The weather has been a warm-ward, the weather huron reports.
Tulas, Oka, was the hottest spot in the country yesterday. A maximum of 98 degrees was registered. Nebraska reported between 82 and 89 degrees; Iowa, 88 degrees; and Wisconsin, 80 degrees. In Chicago the thermometer reached 78, and the temperature was around 73 on April. Kansas City reported a temperature of 85 degrees, and Fort Worth, 92 degrees.
One man was overcome by the heat in St. Paul where 85 degrees was the temperature registered. St. Paul received a hot air temperature in April for 25 years. When the thermometer reached 90, some teachers gave a half holiday, fearing that their students would be prostrated by the sudden heat.
The east coast experienced a sudden shift from freezing weather to warmth. Erie, Pa, registered 70 degrees. A much higher temperature is due in the east later today. Storms were reported in Nebraska, the Dakotas, Wisconsin and other points.

If the number of persons walking p and down the steps of Fracas hail day, as an average for the entire ear, be taken as 500 and each person wears out five pairs of shoes dressed in white, the number of shoes will ave been worn out.
Steps of Fraser Worn Down by Hurrying Fee
If one-fifttime of the walking done to wear out these 2500 pairs of shoes is in going up and down the Fraser hall steps, the number of pairs worn out to wear out the cement patches will be, approximately, 50 patches. One year's traffic by 50 pairs of shoes has worn out the patches.
to get a good bond between cement and stone is extremely difficult, according to Prof. F. M. Dwisson, who specializes in matches on Fraser hall to wear more than a year. That the cement patches should have been good for more than year if they were of good material applied in Professor Davon's opinion.
A movement is being started at the University of California to improve the manner and the attitude of students toward instructors.
