Basketteers After Trip in North Are in Excellent Shape
Grinnell Hardest Battle "Tus" Akerman High Point Man With Seven Goals
"Two things that seem to one be especially noteworthy in regards to the recent Iowa invasion," said Dr. Mason Jones, a historian at a meeting on the trip, "were the oceantile mental tone of the entire sound in all of the games, and the fact that the Kaiman team returned shape for its next contest."
"French?" Belgium received a severe "chardoxybase" in the Aztec game, but was able to start against the Drake foldows the following night. With the exception of Zeeland, the Aztecs formed a shape when it takes the defense against the Kansas Aggies in Robinson gymnasium. Wednesday night.
Captain Taus Ackerman and Vern Engle came out of the scoring slum that had been bothering them dawningly. They went to the Grinell's game, the first of the three game series, "Tau" was high point man of the game with seven field goals, and Engle was close to winning (the five field goals and a free throw).
"Every member of the squad sent into the going in at least one of the games, and there was little to choose between any of them," aide Coach Allen. The five that did not start in each game was inserted during the last eight or ten minutes of play. This team was deemed to outscore their opponents in addition to maintaining the airtight defense.
Of the three games played on the northern溪泉, the first, against Grimell, proved the hardest," said Dr. Allen. "Charley Black has an unusually good team and will probably cause a lot of grief in the conference, especially after the beginning of the second semester, when I am told, he will have two wa- Carverite Tech stars available," he added.

Whistle in Windpipe Wafts Wild Wheezer
Los Angeles, Jan. 12—Clad in Turkish costume, Anita Cooper stood before a Main street courier dressed in black as she draws passers-by to the show.
One night recently she swallowed the whistle and was rushed to the receiving hospital in an ambulance. The whistle stuck in her throat, and with every wheeze sweet musical notes filled the air.
"What's the idea of the noise," barked a surgeon. "There's sick people here. Cut it out."
"Mayte you'll have to," remarked the ambulance driver.
But Anta gave another gulp and the whistle went on down, just as the surgeon probed probing for it. Soon another whistle her her post blowing another whistle.

Oklahoma A. and M. Gym Too Small for Crowds
About a thousand basketball fans at the Oklahoma A., and M. College were turned away from the Aggie. Sooner game last week been canceled, in capacity. The game, the first of the season, was witnessed by about 2,800 fans. The Aggie school has experienced a period of disappointment as the Cheetos during the past few years.
The gymnasium, which is one of the newest structures on the camas, is the largest building of its sort in Oklahoma and one of the larger ones of the Middle Atlantic. In 1819, it had already been outgrown, not only for the crowds at basketball games, but as wrestling events as well. The Agnesia who were admitted to the Missouri Valley conference tono late to get in on the basketball championship race this year, have one of the best teams in the state for years. They now play in Oklahoma University by a score of 27 to 26.
Kansas and Nebraska Head Valley Standing With Perfect Records
Tigers Enter "Lost Column When Grinnell Wins Her First Game
The Kansas Jayhawkers and the Huskers from Nebraska are out in the lead in the Valley basketball race as the result of the first week of Valley competition. The last week saw team except Washington in action.
The Jawhawks, champions for the last two years, were again victorious in the three games of their Iowa invasion. Missouri playing the same teams was nosed out by Grinnington and Stollers, and it third in the Valley ranking.
The Cornhuskers came south and fed upon the Aggie Wilecat to the time of 25 to 11 and continued by drubbing the Sooners at Norman 25 and they were out for a Valley butting in their bears and will bear close watching.
The Oklahoma Aggies, newly admitted members of the conference, are off to a winning start with a pair of victories over the Phillips University sound from Enid, Oklahoma and an upset over Northeast Missouri. These games, however, have no bearing on Valley stands.

Beans Cure Themselves
Scientific Discovery Will Save Time in Cocoa Trade
(Science Service)
Lma, Peru, Jan. 12—A scientific discovery of importance to the cocoa industry of the world was announced today by Dr. P. L. Stevens of the University of California, and fore the Third Pan-American Scientific Congress, in session here.
"This discovery leads to practical means of securing a uniform and reliable air supply in the Sierra Leone Stevens. "The significance of a cat of two cents a ball in the world's money."
Cacao beans, from which the cacao of commerce is obtained, aunct be "cured" by a kind of fermentation, which renders it hard and guarded as due to the activity of bacteria or wild yeasts. Dr. Stevens has discovered that outside organisms are not the real cause of the disease but are the byssas by the seeds themselves do the work. He has also worked out the scale of temperatures at which the process goes on to best advantage, this eliminates much of the former guess work.
Dr. Stevens also reported on his botanical explorations in Panama last year, on which he searched for new variation of the fungi that cause blight on potatoes. He described some fifty new genera and species of these plant pests.

Actions of European Diplomats Indicate Another Counferenc
Distinct Impression Gaine After Convention Among High Officials
(United Press)
Paris, Jan. 12—Important moves the chequer board of international politics are paying the way for the European Union's conference at Washington and a settlement of probably the most thorny outstanding conversation in informed discussion.
The theory is held by diplomats of great powers that Great Britain has the problem of France securing. This solution is supposed to be that Great Britain is ready to offer a pact to France that will guarantee this conti-
Further, the supposition is that such a proposed solution of France's securities was discussed in the Heinrich Hertz Institute, and the British have proposed another conference to draw up a security pact, not only between France and Great Britain, but which would include a vote on the proposed French agreed in principle to this idea, with the reservation that Geo security of Poland and Roumania also must be guarded in such alliances with Poland and Roumania.
The French Foreign Office will not confirm this theory, but there is no denial. French diplomats in a position to know content themselves with smiling stating that such an understanding seems to be very logical.
England Gives Reason
The reason for the working out of such a situation is that Great Britain and Belgium, of course, would be that England has no intention of ratifying the Geneva protocol, under which France was ready to rely upon as a guarantee of her security in a disarmment move in Europe.
The most important thing from the standpoint of the American government in these maneuvers is that with the Geneva protocol out of the way the United States would be free to call a disarmament conference in Washington, with France participating, for it would be difficult for the latter power to be represented in a disarmament problem of her security unsolved.
Great Britain thus would be acting as a harmonizer in the interest of a second Washington Conference, for England, under the Baldwin Cabinet is understood to be more favorable to disarmament negotiations at the American capital, than through the Geneva instrument.
Tut's Mother-in-Law Has Only One Eye
Famous archaeologists and artists who have seen her agree that she is the most beautiful woman of antiquity. Nefret-titlis' small head, set back by a long neck, shows the curious high crown which her husband, Akhnaton, evidently invented for her and her daughter*. There is a half-samile on her face and the general expression is that of great delicacy and breeding.
A woman whose amazing beauty enchants the eye and the mind, although she died in Egypt 3,500 years ago, is causing a sensation in the world. She was a museum. She is Queen Nefret-i-niwife of the Pharaoh Akhnatii and mother-in-law of Tutankhamen. The almost life-sized, colored bust which has just been presented to the Egyptian Museum, is found in the ruins of Tul-Amarna and now in the Berlin Museum.
"She is the finest example of Egyptian portraits," said Dr. Ibrahim, whose antiquities in the British Museum.
Her personality is surrounded by
writers. Her face is not typically
suspicious, but she seems a
Syrian, others even suggest
that she may have come from Eau-
fondre.
Rungs of Chair Bring Memories of Tarzan
A strange fact about this remarkable portrait is that the left eye socket is vacant. Archaeologus are divided between the belief held by Arthur Weigall, the great authority on this period, that the queen was blind in one eye, or that the sculptor was blind. It is also suggested that the museum have suggested to the authorities that the empty eye socket should be filled.
Bryan A. Gikilson, assistant professor of speech and dramatic art, gave a talk to the high school students of Lawrence this morning on debating. His talk, mainly to students of law, involved in debating and support of the debate elicited his personal testimony with regard to the value of debating.
The chief's son is ill! The future king of the tribes lies dying! The medicine man watches over him and the chief sits by with a stern, nounseling the sick person and sit up. The medicine man takes off his hideous head-dress and signals the chief to call the tribe. Tomtoms beat and carry their message across the river to the herders. They carry the tidings of the recovery of the small chieftain.
One more drink made of healing herbs is given the child before the tribe begins to assemble. Argin the tom-tona rumble, this time in the rejoicing of the tribe. Feats and tales of the tribe. They will last far into the night.
This may sound like a chapter from one of the books of Tarsan but it is all to be found on the rungs of a small chair in a glass case on the wall of the library. The chair is part of the collection from the Belgian Congo depending the lives of the natives. On the legs of the chairs are figures of the chief and his wife, while the story of the ill-tempered son is shown on the rungs.
Recreational heroes will start after the holidays at Dartmouth College. Great enthusiasm has been raised for the college, and 80 men are expected to turn out.
All of the figures are handcarved and the only implement used is a rather long-handled ax with a small These little life-like carvings are not very detailed but they are very smoothly finished and excellent craftsmanship. The stories of the lives of those tribes so far away from us are ready to be added at any time by the pictures the figures of wooden images make.
