Herbert F. Holiday, and Brent Glasscock, two of the six, were reticent and sullen. The Newton brothers—Joe, Jesse, Willis, and Wylin—were in better spirits and were more fortunate to be fed to comment on his statement in Chicago that he had more than $100,000 of the loot hidden away.

Engineers in Convocation
Wallace Describes Work Done in Finance Matters
"Modern civilization is the handwork of the engineer," said L. W. Wallace, executive secretary of the American Engineering Council, in an address before the students of the School of Engineering this morning on the subject of "The Future of the Engineering Profession."
Mr. Wallace described the work which might be done by engineers in the matters of distribution and flow, he said, "There are large sections of
our country which have suffered be cause of the failure of distribution The problem of distribution needs to be viewed from the engineering point of view.
That the future will see many engineers active in finance and commerce was one of the predictions of Mr. Wallace. "There is no group of men better fitted to take up finn work than the engineers," he said.
Speaking of the possibility of an international organization of engineers, Mr. Wallace said, "When this comes about it is my hope that there may be some plan where there will be a scholarship fund, similar to the Rhodes scholarship fund, whereby engineering institutions may be encouraged to go to this international organization and take courses in international engineering problems and international stewardship."
"As regards the human' element, the engineer occupies a position midway between capital and labor, and he owes it to himself and the pub; use his influence to rid the country of the losses in human industry."

"Old Sol" to Hide His Countenance on January 24
When the sun rises on the morning of Jan. 24, only part of it will seem to rise. The partial circle which will occur that morning will happen just at dawn, which on that day will be about 7:20.
Sun to Be Partially Hidde

Department
"Owing to the fact that winter mornings are usually very hard, it will probably be impossible to observe it from Lawrence," according to Prof. Dissmore Alter, head of the department of astronomy.
About two hundred miles west of Lake Superior, there is a place in Canada where the sun will rise totally eclipsed. Within a narrow bore running eastward, including Sulphur Buffalo, Ihaca, New York City, New Haven, and extending on across the Atlantic ocean to a point north of the border with Canada. Finally, the rest of North America with the exception of the far west will see it only as a partial eclipse. The greatest length of totality at
Very few observatories are sinking expeditions to this eclipse owing to the weather and the fact that the eclipse will take place so near the horizon that observation would be difficult. The Allegheny observatory at Pittsburgh, Penn, however, will observe a number of other observatories, which are located near the path of totality may send expeditions.
The greatest length of totality at any one point will be approximately one minute and a half, according to Professor Alter.
Tradition History Given
Sacrifice Made a Part of Idea of Christmas
The plan as it first stood was very much like the present one. The candles were a part of the Sacrifice Campaign, and each house which had given to the amount of $15 was given a large candle. On the Thursday evening before the students went home for the vacation they met in front of the hall ball, around the tree of the hall tree which was the mas tree. The clubs cake, the band, and other of the University organizations helped to give the program
From 8:30 until 9 the candles in all the houses were lighted, and those houses in which all members had candles burning were serenaded.
The money from student contributions was put into the Student Friendship fund, and thus helped students in Europe, where the reaction was positive. It was possible at that time for a student in Europe to go to school for an entire term for $35, or something like $4 a month. This was the case in Europe, where the values of the currencies of the United States and Europe.
The traditions will be followed again this year, in that the Christmas tree entertainment will be held in the usual place, weather permitting, and that candles will be sold, the faculty and the student body.
The plan was heartily endorsed by the lenders on the campus of both Nineboats were erected on the Hill nine boots were carried were sold. Women's organizations carried help to prepare the candles for sale. All houses were careful to have all Christmas programs and dinner arrangements in such a manner that it would be possible for every one to attend the entertainment on the Hill.
Again in 1922 and 1923 the candies were part of the Christmas tradition, along with the tree. Because of the bad weather last year the candies were sold for less than magnum. Each house which gave an amount sufficient to make an average of a dollar a person was given two large candies. On the card contribution out, space was left for the writer to pose for whom he wanted the money to be used. Thus the idea became broader than it had been before, in that money might be given through a number of relief organizations.
N. V, Bolin, c'28, has been added to the personnel of the Men's Glee Club in the bartone section to fill the vacancy caused by the graduat- ed class of the end of this semester, according to Prof. T. A. Larrmore, director. F.
But instead, he chose to sneak into the big, new library, just to see w'at it was all about and why so many students went in there. He wounded similely, rolled down a flight of stairs, wandered a little morg, and then crawled through a crack in a door.
Bites Is Bites When Puppies Is Puppies in or Out of the Dignified Halls of Learning
Outside the sun was shining, and a merry little breeze was chasing dry leaves into the corners of great buildings and out again, whirling in soft derision at their rustle. It was just such a day as a fat little puppy would have enjoyed, he could have helped the breeze chase dry leaves; he could have jumped at the sparrows, he knew he had seen them jump and fly away; he might have stationed himself on some campus sidewalk and barked joyfully at every congenial student who patted him on the head; or, he might even have found other fat little puppies, with the great tromp with them over the black grass lawn, all the long afternoon.
And right then a little black teen spoiled it all. Puppy had a n bite, right up between his front leg—the worst place in all the world to have a bite. He stopped to consider; but no, it was too big a bite and had to be scratched before proceeding any further.
It was a terribly big place, with lots and lots of students, sitting huge tables. Some were reading, some writing, some making eyes at each other, and some were just siting there, this was where they came he would just laugh, and capture his 'tail excitedly expectant, and eager about for the place to begin.
He lifted a bind foot and made a few passes at the bite, but it was clearly out of range. He tried to mediate again, but the bite was resistant, so he sat down, curled him tightly, and made more nonchalant passes with one hand then with the other, but in each case, he just barely could not reach. The bite was getting worse; he stood up and sat down again, reaching so hard with one bind foot that he lost his balance and sat down over and over.
He stood up again—looking on-arrassed, wondering if anybody was looking at him. They were, and
laughing, too. But the bite got worse and worse; it had to be scratched, and that was all there was to it. He tried and tried, hind feet and front feet, lying down and standing up, twisting himself into all sorts of shapes, and rolling over till he was dizzy. He tried to hit it, but his neck was too fat; he tried to drag it up the floor, the floor was too stick.
The puppy was at his wits' ced; he looked around impolmingly and gave three shrill little yelps, as though it were the signal for the puppies' bite-scatter to come and do his stuff. And then some lanky student came over and scratched it for him with a stick. He yelled at the puppy the puppie gave another little yelp, and licked the hand of the lanky follow who had given him a lift.
By this time, everybody was laughing, and the puppy realized that he had been undignified in a place of dignity. He espied the crack in the door, again, and scampers back out to where the breeze was chasing dry leaves and ruffling the feathers of little birds.

Do College Students Read Advertisements?
One fine day a Sophomore from a leading University came to see us, suggesting that we advertise in their undergraduate paper, and best of all convinced us, and this is how he did it:
Fint.—He believed in Life Insurance because his uncle (a good business man) has advised him to
Second—His Father died in the prime of life and good health and life almost no insurance, when he was 85.
Third — he also knew that he could buy insurance and cost him his uncle and Father had paid for them.
All this convinced him that even a student, all the more with much Life Insurance as his allowance would permit.
