"Practice What You Preach";
Think Seniors When Protecting
"Flunk Insurance Against Rain
On Monday night, May 19, it might rain. If it does, the theater crowds would stay at home, and that would mean the one glorious "funking" of the senior class play, "Flunk Insurance."
In view of such a calamity, and believing the classic admonition to "practice what you preach," the management for the attraction has been to keep it quiet, all dangers from a "raimotrunk flunk" on the part of the audience.
Thus far the goose is able to hang high, and now the only danger that threatens a successful presentation of "Flunk Music" is Sunday afternoon.

Indications at present are that the management for "Flunk Insurance" will allow all comers to judge the final outcome on payment of an admission fee based on the sliding scale of four bits, six bits, or one bone, and all children in arms, well they will be disarmed at the doors.

Barnum Has Nothing on Snake Oil Display
"Captured in the wilds of Arizona by the cave dwellers two hundred years ago."
That is the placard one sees if he is successful in pushing his way through the crowd that stands on the corner in front of the Dick Brothers Drug store at Eighth Street and the people surge and crowd constantly toward the window. Presently one hears a suppressed cry or an amused chuckle and the crowd is lessened by one whose curiosity has been satisfied and who therefore moves away. The object, which so completely commands the attention of those around him, murders rattle snake which lies contemptibly in his cage, quite indifferent to the searching gazes of his spectators.
Bible Translator Speaks
Dr. Goodspeed Explains Version of New Testament
Dr. Edgar J. Goodspeed of the University of Chicago, who delivered a lecture at Fraser chapel this afternoon on "Why I Translated the New Testament," gave several addresses in Kansas City yesterday.
In discussing his version of the New Testament, Doctor Godspeed said to a Kansas City audience: "The object of the translation I have made is to shed light on the New Testament narrative. Its purpose is to preserve the accuracy of the text, rather than to use orate language. My translation franly is an American version, but my English translations have Practically all other translations have been primarily for the English reader."
News Tabloids
Doctor Goodspeed believes in making the New Testament vital to the American reading public. He feels that it is possible under the old transcripts to recover some facts from the Bible, and not to be able to understand any part of them.

Science Discovers Chemical to Keep Skin From Tanning
Ultra-Violet Rays From Sun
Causes Sunburn; Tan
Forms to Save
Skin Tissue
(By Science Services)
Meet people who have the mistake idea that sunburn causes by "the heat of the sun." This is incorrect, Sunburn is caused by the ultraviolet rays, which constitute only seven per cent of sunlight.
Nature herself provides a form of protection against the ultraviolet rays, for when a person is exposed to them. Animals that attack after several attacks of sunburn the skin becomes tarned or freaked. Tan and freckles are simply the natural pigment which nature provides as a yellow screen through which the ultra-violet rays cannot penetrate. Real injury by continued burning.
This scientific discovery is based on the well-known fact that a substance as transparent as glass screens out the ultraviolet rays. One can be exposed to sunlight under glass for an indefinite period and get healthful, beneficial effects of the rays without being burned. The garden window allows sunlight to enter under glass, where they thrive in the sunlight from which the ultraviolet or burning rays have been screen off by glass.
Clement is transparent
However, however, he came to the rescue. He climbed into a machine and out of doors but who dreaded the pain and injury of sumburn or the disfigurement of a yellowish cut of tan or freckles.
Chemical Is Transparent
Science Comes to Rescue
Research workers in the course of their laboratory investigations into the properties of ultra-violet light, have discovered a chemical reaction that has the property of shielding the skin from the ultra-violet or burns gums of sunlight and thus gives absolute protection against sunburn. It performs exactly the same function as the transparent screen of the yellow screen of tan or freckles.
This chemical is said to be beneficial to the skin. Mr. T. B. Villet, research chemist of the Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, in explaining the technical action of this new discovery, says; "This product is a synthetic organic compound with one of its most interesting properties: keep a bake of mystery about the otherwise very practical science of chemistry."

To Display Slab in Dyche
Carpenters Finish New Room for Museum
A slab containing a large mass of rhinoceros bones is one of the new exhibitions which will be placed on display in the new room which is located above the floor of the porters on the third floor of Dyche museum. The slab, which was found imbedded in rock formations in Sioux county, Nebraska, contains three lower jaws, three skulls, and many other parts of rhinoceros skeletons. H. T. Martin, assistant curator of the work of getting the slab in condition for display, removing all rock and foreign substance from among the bones. The case in which it will be displayed will also contain照片 showing the different phases of work by which it was procured.
"Artificial light is much better for the bird display room, since the natural light would cause the plumage of the birds to fade more quickly," said Carly Schmidt, an artist who discusses the new lighting to be provided for the second floor.
This additional room in the third floor of the museum has been made possible by closing the skylight opening in the third floor. This shuits out the light almost entirely from the bird display on the second floor, and artificial light will have to be provided.

Few Icebergs This Year]
(By Science Service)
High Ocean Temperature May Affect Climate
Halfaf, N. S., May 14—The ocean warming up. The international epa patrol reports that the temperature of the sea covering the Grand Banks of Newfoundland is 7 degrees higher than normal for the time of year in this region and in neighboring waters, icebergs and ice-floes are almost non-existent south of Newfoundland, and widespread though temporary changes in the climate of eastern America and western Europe are thought likely to occur. A nature refuge Edward H. Smith of the U. S. Coast Guard Service.
In his report he says; "The early reports from the patrol this spring show relatively high temperatures are being encountered over the entire continental shelf south of Newfoundland. The Grand Bank, a subsea barrier, is 130 miles, is normally covered by a reservoir of water that is free from outside ocean currents, from September to March every year. This water mass in March constitutes one of Nature's largest thermometers, which measure the preceding winter season. This year the spring temperatures are 37-38 degrees; 7 degrees above normal. Approximately 3300 times as much heat is needed to raise a given volume of water one degree as is needed to raise a given volume of water two degrees. The Grand Bank possesses a tremendous heat reserve this year."
Commenting on these observations, Lieutenant Smith says that such vast bodies of relatively warm water may be traced across the Atlantic for months and have been known to have influenced weather conditions in the contribution of atmospheric pressure and upon weather conditions on both sides of the Atlantic.
