Finals—Steady Rains
Prevent Fast Time
On Track
Des Moines, In., April 26.—Under a threatening sky two thousand athletes entered the finals of the Drake Relay. Large heavy rain had gripped the track, slow
Bradley's jump of 23 feet, 3 inches in the broad jump, made in 1922, was smashed by Hubbard of Michigan, colored with a leap of 24 feet, 2-3 arm lengths than the distance in the qualifying round Friend, which itself broke the record. Jones, of DePauw, who won the jump at the Kansas Relays, was second; Wallace, Illinois, third. The 100-dass run was won by Evans, of Illinois, in 10 second that Iwin of the Kansas Agassi came in first.
In the qualifying round Graham, in the hop, step and jump and the broad jump, and Poor in the high jump, remained to carry Kanaas' colors in today's final competition in the special events. The Kansas halfmile and mile relay teams did not run Friday, no qualifying rounds being necessary in these events. The quarter-mile team finished fifth, Graham Collier, Firebaugh and Fisher were the Kansas runners.
Graham Makes Jumps
Poor Into Finals
The track was growing heavy from a light but stendy rain, which was making competition in some of the field events somewhat difficult. The pole vault was stopped at 11 feet 4 inches.
Poor was one of the six high jumpers who qualified at 5 feet 8 inches which was a good height, considering the condition of the field.
Graham was a close second to Hub
guard, Michigan negro star, in the
hop, step and jump. Graham's dis-
tance was 44 feet 6 inches, eight
inches behind the winner. Graham
qualified fourth in the broad jump

American Paintings in Collection on Exhibition Likened to Jazz Played by Symphony Orchestra
To look at the exhibit of paintings by American artists is like listening to a jazzy orchestra, while looking at the pictures in the Brynwood collection is like listening to a symphony orchestra, was the judgment of one who had visited the exhibition on the third floor of West Administration
But Prof. Albert Blach likens the American collection to a symphony orchestra playing jazz, and the Bryant Symphony Strings trying to play symphony music. The American exhibition is the best that has been here this year, according to Prof. Blach.
"Those paintings of the "Buckman Mesa" and "Foothills of the Rockies" are among the most interesting," continued Mr. Blich.
Simplicity is the keynote, there
University Professors Visit Junior Colleges on Tour of Inspection
Accrediting of These Schools Important Problem Says E.F. Ennel
Prof. U, G. Mitchell, chairman on the junior college committee of the University, and Prof. E, F. Engel secretary, have been visiting various junior colleges throughout the state to submit admission as accredited schools.
NO.161
They have recently visited five schools which have been organized during the present school year: Kansas City, Kan., Iola, Coffeville, Parsons, and St. Mary's at Leavenworth but that the last are civic enterprises.
"The results of our investigation were highly satisfactory," said Professor Engel. "At all the schools, we have tried to bring their scholastic stardards up to equal those of the University. In some cases this seems to have resulted in standards ever higher than those in force here.
"The development of the junior college system is becoming one of the most important problems of educational authorities in Kansas," added Professor Engel. "There is at present an association of junior colleges in the state which meets annually the requirements of the degree. It should be important as a factor in bringing about the necessary unification of standards."
Articie Received Favorably by Many Professors
The last issue of the Humanistic Studies, published by the University, is entitled, "The United States, 1865-1920. An Interpretation," by Dr James C. Malin, professor at Columbia University but has already elected enthusiastic praise from leading historians throughout the country. Prof. William E. Dodd of the University of Chicago writes to the author: "Your writings are a great source and a sense of the fundamentals so often wanting in historians."
Under the supervision of George O. Foster, registrar of the University, his class of university women at the Christian church will present a paneat, "The Questioners" in the church auditorium this evening. He will be assisted by the church chair and Mrs. H. W. Dunn, soloist.
Professor Lingley, of Dartmouth, the author of recent history of the United States, writes more familiarly: "Your little pamphlet is a peach." Prof. E. D. Adams, head of the department of history in Stanford University, says: "I started to teach English, and all through I found much of real value in your condensed presentation of the period." Prof. Max Farrand, of Yale University, sums up a long letter in the sentence: "My opinion is one of unqualified approval." Both Professor Adams and Professor Farrand requested that a copy be sent to Herbert Hoover. Professor Farrand wrote for immediate use and wrote that he would either use it as a text in his classes or order 30 copies for the University library.
are no unnecessary lines and the colors are the interpretation of the artist. The pictures of southern landscapes are technically but they lack the character that is displayed in those of Raymond Jonson. The colors are pleasing, but they might be comical. And the colors found in Easter cards.
"People will like the better type of work as they are educated to it. Just as nursery rhymes appeal to the child and Dante is far out of his reach, but later the more advanced work appeals to him, the better types of work will make the stronger appeal to the person after he has been educated to it. Improvisational work is not only about music, but also the keynote of modern art, just as it has been to all true art for centuries."
"To the Moft, Sorceren Maleity of Charles II," reads the dedication of a book published in 1738, and now in the possession of the department of architecture at the University of Kansas. But that is only a beginning. The dedication was apparently the greatest part of a book in those days.
Ancient Architects Honor His Majesty
"To Sir John Denham, Knight of the Honorable Order of the Bath, Suckint reburden and Surveyor of His Majesty's Buildings and Works," and "To my motf Honourable Friend, Sir Christian Wren, Surveyor of his Majesty's Buildings and Works," are only more of the numerous dedications.
The paper is of very good quality and very well preserved, and the type is a beautiful italic. The title pages, the handwork, show exquisite engraving.
This book contains some of the first measured drawings ever made of classical architecture. It was published at the time when classical architecture was first gaining prominence in England under the leadership of Sir Christopher Wren, the architect of St Paul's cathedral in London.
An older book of architecture, published in 1708, has an equal number of dedications, with that to the king the most prominent of course, and another to a writer who made publication of the book possible, together with a list of their occupations, which range from lord to wheelwright. One rather suspects that the wheelwrights, printers, architects and right of the profession at that time.
The earlier of the two books contains a very complete list of errata Writers and printers made mistakes in those days as well as these.
The deadline for material for the association edition of the Oread Magazine which is coming out about the middle ages in October 2015, according to Emily Friesson, editor.
Special Oread Deadline Has Been Set for May
"In this edition two articles from the School of Fine Arts will represent the spirit of the music and art departments," said Miss Ericson today. "The School of Engineering also shares an article on their achievements."
Wellesley College Women to Teach Matrimony is comparatively insignificant among Wellesley College women judging from results obtained by the national survey. What?" Out of 900 women who answered the questionnaire only 79 declared their intentions intention of getting married when they leave college. School teaching was the popular profession named but occurrences of people dancing to painting furniture were listed among the answers.
Dr. Richard L. Sutton of Kansas City, Kansas, who recently lectured at the University of Kansas on his African experience, has been made a life fellow of the Royal Geographical Society's election came largely as a result of his studies and rare photographs of the head waters of the Vasa Niroy, a river which rises in Aberdare range, one the northern frontier

Engineers Exhibit Draws Big Crowd With Fine Display
Every Department Show Things of Interest to Both Laymen and Professionals
A steady stream of visitors was seen all day Saturday passing through Marvin hall and the shops just south of it, visiting the exhibits and being introduced into the series of the engineering profession.
the attendance far exceeded any former exhibition, according to Ray Lawrence, e25, publicity manager. Specially was the out-of-town attendance large. Many of the large seats represented. And Ms. said represent.
In no department was interest lacking among the visitors. Each department had students who courseworked on how and why of everything. The exhibit was presented to appeal not only to the professional engineer but to the outside who was just curious about what goes on over at Marvin hall.
Professor Brings Entire Class
A great many Kansas towns were represented by alumni or former students. One Topkea High School professor brought his entire class of freshmen from Michigan to visitors from Canada and Michigan in addition to many from closer states.
The department of architectural engineering had many surprises for those uninitiated in architecture. Instead of the plain architectural drawings which many persons expected, there were beautiful designs in color. All work was the original plan of students.
All Types of Gas Engines Shown
The department of electrical
engineering had so many weird and
mysterious exhibits and performances
that interest was intensely active.
Actually, the image has no such content. It looks like a bar chart showing different types of gas engines. The labels are all "All Types of Gas Engines Shown." There is also a text that says "the department of electrical engineering had so many weird and mysterious exhibits and performances that interest was intensely active." And another line says "voice wire when be talked. Lighting and power equipment of the latest type was on exhibition."
Visitors Surprised by Display
One of the greatest surprises to many visitors was the display by the department of industrial engineering at Kansas. The number and variety caused many persons to remark that they didn't know Kansas did make all these. These exhibits will be the permanent property of the University and will be used on later occasions.
A pond, a dam, water power, electricity, and a train running from this power was all in one corner of the barn. The various types of gasoline engines were shown here. An A-type wooden truss was tested Friday morning before a large crowd to determine the best point and the breaking stress.
The department of mining engineering had a model of a standard oil drilling rig boring through rocks during the time of the exposition. Ores and rocks of various sorts were displayed by the miners.
Sewerage Plant in Operation
Modern road construction machinery was exhibited by the department of civil engineering, while the design engineer engineering had an up-to-date sewerage disposal plant in operation.
one-half of the world's present supply of diamonds is held in the United States, according to the National City Bank of New York.
Crown Jewels Flow Here by Millions After War
Dean Walker of the School of Engineering refused to make any statement regarding the success of the project. He would appoint a spectator to make his own decision.
"The Engineering Exhibit is most interesting and nad represents a marked advance over the exhibition of year. As a new feature, the expo presents models and products in revolution," said Chancellor E. H. Lindy, Saturday.
Approximately $2,000,000,000 has been spent in the acquisition of these trifles during the past 50 years, but the shipment costs have been importing them at the rate of $60,000,000 to $100,000,000 worth annually. It appears that only the exhaustion of Kinderley and the Euroeuro Jewel supplies will check the influx.
Mysterious Rover of Air Floats Over Lawrence Haunting Craft of Lighter-Than-Air Contestants
A mysterious balloon was sighted here Thursday afternoon about 5:34. At first it was thought to be one of the entries in the national elimination contest which started from San Antonio Wednesday, April 23. But the Kansas City Times of this morning states that four of the seven balloons at that city yesterday, and the other three were forced down in southern Kansas and Oklahoma.
The first bag to be sighted in Kansas City was discovered near Swope Park at 5:04 p.m. As the mystery balloon appeared here at nearly that time, it could not have been the same craft. The second was sighted at 5:45 p.m., too soon after appearing here to have made the 40-mile trip. After 6 o'clock, the mystery balloon was visible directly north of Lawrence.
Two successive gleams of light located the other two gas bags for Kansas Cities. Both appeared over
Scarlet Fever Fails to Daunt Phi Psi Goat
Wanted—an enterprising young man to spend the night an amusing a esteem吃客. Appointment apply to Mongmegery at the Pil Kappa si house.
For into that realm which has entertained coyotes and scarlet fever, there has come another guest—a mountain goat, whose serenades are adorned with the colors of her heels. The goat, who accepted the cordial invitation of John Montgomery to spend the spring months with Phi Kappa Pi, has been christened the illustrious name of Augustus, but it is to be called Fidl for short.
Now sad experience has taught that the spring moon affects even such as Augustus, Stationed between the Phi Psi and Theta houses. Augustus made his operatic debut last night. The concert was a success, each n success that none of the influence became bored and went to beem.
But Augustus' triumph is to be short-lived. Fearing the fruits of his protege's success, the owner is seeking to amuse Augustus during the moonlight hours. This is an opening for a young man of rare endurance. The night borne will contribute handsomely to the salary.
Modern Girl Handicapped
She Stands Like Giraffe When Fashion Beeks
"The idiotic postures shown in the fashion plates have very much to do with the girl whose spine looks like the Hunchback of Notre Dame and the Dwarf in the Raffle. We are not surprised when she develops tuberculosis, for how can her lungs develop when they are so compressed," says Dr. Martha Bacon of the department of physical education of behalf of Child Health Day May 1.
"To attain good posture, walk erect, lead up, chin in, making the chest as tall as possible with the shoulder down. Walk across the floor. Walk to the mirror and look yourself straight in the eye. Be sure the feet are carried parallel, toes straight ahead. The old fashioned command is to walk across the floor for many flat feet and ruined arches.
"The shoes of children should be comfortable and when they become too small, discarded. The hose must not be too short. Pressure on the tender feet will bend the bones out of shape and lay the foundation for fractures. They are unlikely feet. Freedom from deformity means better health, beauty and a finer citizenship," said Doctor Bacon.
Cincinnati claims the original bath tub, which was constructed by a wealthy citizen in the early 40's, according to the Medical Record. This tub was seven feet long and four feet wide. The owner gave her a bath tub the owner gave for his male friends, and all of them are said to have tried out the new convenience. For many years bathtubs were not made with water but passed an ordinance prohibiting the use of the bathtub without the advice of a physician.

When the Lawrence balloon o' mystery was seen it was headed almost due north, the chances seeming high to land. Lawrence how. How could this balloon have doubled back and ap proceeded Kansas City from the south.
Possibly some unknown contestant secretly inflated his balloon and is trying to outstretch in distance and be able to reach the lighter-than-air service in America. There is a chance that the officials miscounted the number starting in the 1980s.
Whatever the craft, it seems that Lawrence had the opportunity to see one of the ships in the race, even though the people of the eastern city seem anxious to all the glory of costs to all the balloons in the contact.

The spring trip was declared to be the most successful ever undertaken by a University club. The men were greeted by capacity audiences at every town they visited. Newspaper reports were unintended in their praise of the work of the club, one newspaper declaring it to be "of a higher quality than our organization that has appeared in the Mid-West in recent years."
This appearance of the club will be its eleventh regular concert this year, in addition to other numerous concerts throughout southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma, and the K. U.-Washburn joint concert at Topeka, before an audience of 1800, contain all cultural activities of the club this year.
