"Duke Did It Again" Is Short Way of Saying That Sergeant D'Ambra Is Taking Snapshots
"Duke did it again."
To the uninitiated that morns notting, but to any member of the R. O. T. C, or to any student well-acquainted on the Hill that is merely a short way of saying that Sergent Alexio Bassanovici has won another photographic prize or has had another of his Kansai pictures published in the New York Times or some other big newspaper newspaper. In fact it has come quite a game among students to give them papa will carry his latest pictures.
Everyone has seen him, either on the athletic field at time of varsity matches or at rallies on the Hill moving about with a big camera. That's Duke. He attends all University gatherings to get pictures and meet friends. He mit to newspapers specializing in feature sections.
He is always on hand, always on time. You may see him standing at the side of the crowd or contest pering through his large horn rimmed glasses, holding his camera in one hand while he arborescens awards some unusual action or play to photograph. His careful, thorough prosecution and his efficiency, which is not limited alone to photography, but, alike all qualities, shows itself in his office work.
His appearance beepspeaks efficiency. He knows the name, address, and rating of every man enrolled in R. O. T. C. Many a freshman has left the military office dazed at the sergeant's recital of his name and home address on his second appearance at the office. His ability to
President Refuses Demand of Liberals for Extra Session
Conservatives to Get Support of Coolidge, His Stand
Indicates
Washington, Nov. 17- The first split between the liberal and conservative wings of the Republican party in the new Congress has drawn President Coolidge's support to the conservative side. President Coolidge let it be known definitely that he had no intention at this time of calling an election and that the Congress to take up pressing legislation on the Republican program.
The issue between the two groups is clear.
The announcement came immediately upon the heels of a statement by Senator Borah, outstanding Republican liberal, that an extra session should be called. Before Borah announced himself in favor of the nomination, the state guard senators and Congressmen had declared for no extra session.
A number of reasons are being given in administration circles today to explain the president's decision. One reason was that the tax burden on consumers is higher, in order to study it in operation before substituting another means.
The present fiscal year does not end until June 50. President Coolidge is said to feel that no clear reason why the president might be possible before that time. The president is said to believe that other problems of more immediate concern, such as farm relief and railroad log restrictions, must be addressed short of the present Congress.
The view was expressed in some administrative circles that Congress might work more effectively if the senate for an extra session were removed.
Beauty Not as Good as Brains in Movies
By Harold E. Swisher
Hollywood, now 17—1" I would rather have an ordinary looking girl with plenty of brains than the most natural nature in the world who liked brains.
So says Sam Wood, prominent director and so say other directors in Hollywood, thereby issuing a warning to many beautiful girls whose friends continually gush "you should be in the movies."
"The camera does not merely photograph the outer shell," says Wood. "It pictures the soul. There must be something underneath the veneer of beauty. Most of our female stars are notravishing beautiful. They are beautiful." You can photograph beautiful through the use of make-up, lighting and camera effects. They must possess brains or they would not be stars."
Bacon, the prophet of modern science, never used the word "science" in his writings.
speak Spanish and Italian makes him a favorite with the foreign students. Whenever anyone wants to know anything about the military department he asks the Duke. Ordinarily the reply to a question is, "Yes, I think so," followed by the answer. Occasionally he looks at the ceiling as if to give it away, then there he gives the desired information or tells where it may be found. "Ask Duke" has become the R. O. T. C. password.
He knows you after he has once met you, and his cheery "Hi, Mr. Robert Q. Smith" or "his "Hello, Browning," are heard wherever he goes. He may talk to a visit of friends, but he chattings to a freshman at a noon-day rally, for he believes that everyone should attend rallies and support the school team regardless of victory or defeat. He rubs shoulders with all, his short little laugh at a joke is not enough to know more interesting stories than he, for he has a great store of adventures gleaned from travels in every corner of the globe. He has traveled in every mode of conveyance but an airplane, and always knows how to get there. He can keep one foot on the ground.
The next time you see a soldier running around with a camera at a football game, or see one taking a picture of the freshmen saluting the colors, or hear one say "Hold that pose just a second." you know you can be really amazed. Just leave it to Duke, he'll get the pictures, and the next time you hear "Duke did it again," you'll know what is meant.
Earthquake Observers Are Wanted by Experts
Stanford University, Cal.-Wanted,
earthquake observers! Because of a prejudice against any earthquake
observers, the school has been kept of the shocks during the past few decades. With the passing of the feeling that an earthquake is a disgrace the Seismological Society has provided for help in reporting the shocks.
Wherever you rolled when the door suddenly rolled under you? Did you hear any peculiar roar like that of distant cannonading? Were you a child? Did you have a feeling of shock? Did another shock occur while you were awake?
is asked the volunteer earthquake observer by the questionnaire put out by the society. They want a report of every shock in or near the vicinity of the site.
The study of earthquakes in the west has been organized and initiated by the Carnegie Institute of Washington, the United States Geologic Society, the United States Bureau of Standards, the Hydrographic Office of the United States Navy, the University of California, Leland Stanford University, the San Francisco Institute of Technology, and the Skeletal Sociology of America.
Jayhawk Bird Roams Valley Hunting Meat
Once upon a time there was a Jayhawk Bird who lived on the top of a hill near the Kaw river; and every year when autumn came this bird would fare forth throughout the valley in search of appetizing football meat. Some years he would return with his bag overflowing, the result of a successful hunting season, and the sudden realization that joejoice, praising the Jayhawk Bird and crying, "We own the Valley." And everybody would be happy.
The next time the old Jawhacky bird would go hunting he would invariably return with his big bag overflowing with Tiger and Sooner wildlife and Bulkdog meat. And everybody would be happy again.
But on other years this Jayhawk Bird would not be so successful in his hunting, and sometimes he would return without even so much as a tiny morsel for his little children. And on these occasions some of the children who were bad and didn't love their old Jayhawk Bird would eventually learn to hunt them. The hawk Bird is getting old. "He can't hunt as well as he used to. Some day he will be completely vanquished."
But when the bad children would make such lamentations, the good children would swear, "I will securely avoid them, and would comfort the old dajawk Bird with my love."
Cocoanuts Produce Pearls

And Silk Purses Made From Sows' Ears
Amsterdam, Nov. 17.-Silk purse were made out of sow's ear severa years ago by a chemist. Now come a botanist, Dr. F. W. T. Huenger or Amsterdam, who has made an equally impossible-sounding discovery. He knows that gums are round, perfect in form, milk-white, but lack the iridescent sheen of the oyster pearl. They are very rare and difficult to secure, for the natives of the tropical island prize them highly as tatamans any more.
They are formed by a process similar to that which produces shell-fish pearls. Certain coconuts are "billled," that is, they do not have the three "eyes" at the end, to one of which the embryo of the seed is normally attached. Caged inside the nut and unable to develop normally, the emerger is impregnated and covered with lime salts from the milk of the coconut.
Our Modern Knights do Midnight Stuff
