LL., Dept. of dermatology in the University of Kansas, under the napesides of the University Clin Tuesday evening. The lecture will be given at 8 in Fraser hall and is free. There will be no admission charges.
"With Rife and Camera in Brightest Africa" is the subject of the lecture. Doctor Sutton recently returned from a six month's hunting and exploring trip in East Africa with exploration talk with 200 golden slides.
Leonards Cunning Animals
LEOPARD *We are common in Africa.*, said Doctor Sut on in a recent article. "For cunningness and ferocity they undoubtedly stand near the top of the list. The leopard prefers to attack people, and if unmolested seldom attacks man. Once wounded, however, it becomes one of the most dangerous of all animals. It will continue to attack until death is extinct, and until long after life is extinct.
"An old and experienced guide told me that he once watched two leopard- play a trick on a bunch of monkeys. The leopards had succeeded in tree- ing half a dozen times while another ground while the other ceded a tree in which two apes had taken refuge. One ape ventured out on the end of a slender branch as far as he dared. The leopard on the ground moved to a point directly beneath the pose little longer, accordingly. How its chops.
"The other leopard now began to creep out along the occupied limb. He stretched his neck out until his nose was within him. The leopard gave me a mighty "Wooo". The monkey gave a pitiful wall and dropped like a plummet from his perch. The leopard at the foot of the tree grabbed the ball of fur as neatly and as easily as a trained goatcatcher would handle
Monkey Flesh a Delicacy
**Monkey Flesh a getaway**
"Lions and leopards in pairs in daisies in doves, loving each other in outwitting their prey. Leopards are particularly fond of dog and monkey flesh and will go to almost any place where they find tick of this kind."
Doctor Sutton and his party experienced several interesting adventures in hunting the rhinoceros. "The African buffalo is one of the most cunning of animals. His sight is excellent and his hearing exceptionally good, so he can pinpoint to pos- tion rescuing powers as well," said Doctor Sutton.
Blind to Use School
Plans Made to Educate Sightless in State Institution
At a recent meeting of the Kansas Association for the Blind a resolution was adopted to request the use of the State School for the Blind at Kansas City, Kansas, for eight weeks during the summer for the instruction of adults with visual impairment to lay the request before the state board of administration.
The work of the Association is to help adult blind become independent. Teachers are hired to travel over the country, and a fund is maintained to lend capital to blind persons to help them start in business. The loan is "50 be repaid when the business is yielding a profit." No interest is asked or these loans.
The membership of the Kansas Association now numbers 400 about one third of whom are blind.
The use of the state school during the summer months would give the Association the advantage of needed attention in their teaching.
Luther Burbank, the great botanist, has petitioned the board of regents of the University of California to take over his gardens and make them a part of the state's higher educational system.
Burbank has been offered $100,000 for the gardens but he prefers to see them carried on for the benefit of the public on a scientific basis.

Child Health Day Planned
Club Women of Kansas Decide to Observe May 1
Club women of Kansas are getting behind the plan for observing May 9 as Child Health Day, according to Dr. Florence Sherbon, director of the Bureau of Child Resuscitation. Recent on-er documents include the following;
Mrs. Cooper King, Wichita, executive secretary of the Kansas League of Women Voters—The Kansas League forms a coalition with the program of the National League, has a very definite plan for child welfare work in Kansas, and is in heart sympathy with the program of May I Child Health Day.
"The League, whose work lies largely in preventive work, believes the setting apart of a day to discuss children' s problems is to be beneficial."
Mrs. C. F. Miller, Fort Scott, president Kansas Federation of Women's Clubs—"The idea to set aside May 1 for the special consideration of child health activities seems to furnish just the right framework." Kansas club women have been ever wateful for opportunities and energetic in pushing plans for child welfare. They will want to do their part now.
"I am asking the state chairman of health to prepare an outline of suggested public health activities simple and practical in practice within the community. With the help of eight district health chairman we hope to broadcast this plan and make it help toward the success of the work."
The seniors at Penn State expect to establish a precedent by adopting a "Blazer Coat" to be worn the last two weeks of school. The idea set forth is to adopt a sport coat with colors of the graduating class.
Prof. M. B. Jones, of Pomona College, Claremont, Calif., has been recognized by the Portuguese government for his ardent work in promoting the study of Portuguese in America. There are only eight colleges and universities in this country which teach Portuguese, but many others are including it in their plans for next year.
Major General James J. Harbord has given his Kannas honus check of $816 to the memorial stadium fund Kansas State Agricultural College.
Russian Scientist Writes on Effect of Recent Famine
Experiments Demonstrate That National Unfitness Resulted From Suffering
Washington, April 7. What long-continued famine does to human beings is vividly shown in the form of a coldy scientific article on the effects of the recent famine in Russia recently published here as a translation from the work of the author, Yuri Kozhevsky, chief administrator of the University of Kharkov, No; only a loss of weight, but a shrinking of several inches in stature and a general drying up of the whole bodily frame similar to that experienced in Britain by Richard Benedict, suffering from a three-week shortage of wholesome food.
Suffering
The most universal and obvious effect of the famine was loss of weight. Not one individual was found whose weight had not diminished, while in a great number of cases the loss was as much as thirty per cent of the normal weight. Fat was the first to be sacrificed and by the end of the famine had almost completely disappeared in all the subjects measured. After that was used up, the muscles wasted away, the organs such as the liver or lungs were affected, while the essential organs such as the heart and the central nervous system were little affected.
When it became evident that a period of famine was approaching in Russia, and that it threatened to be of long duration, Professor Ivanovsky called his colleagues in an investigation of the physical effects of starvation. The observations were made on 2014 individuals male and female from all regions of Russia, and continued for three years, each individual who survived been measured six successive times at intervals of six months.
Bodily stature declined in nearly all cases, the average loss being from 1.5 to 2.6 inches in men, and from 1.4 to 1.9 inches in women. The loss was greater anteriorly than later, by them more rapidly when food became inadequate.
(He Relates Sawdust)
Loss of Weight Evident
The shape of the head changed. In the average famine sufferer it became relatively broader, the front and back diameter shrinking more than the transverse. The length of the face decreased, and the skin is in a typically lean, narrow visage. Similarly the nose became narrower and thinner.
Young People Appear Old
In "very emaciated people," Professor Ivanovsky states, "the hair grew more and thicker and rapidly to become gray. The eyes became like those of old people, the skin lost its elasticity and became wrinkled, the gait became weak and uncertain, the body bent. The sexual instinct became very weak or even disappeared entirely. The number of birth defects increased. The number of children born prematurely or still-born increased, as did those born with various deformities."
Because of the irregular diet of indigestible food, ulcer of the stomach became a common complaint. The body largely lost its power of resistance, simple boils and easily became carbuncles, and abscesses of the hand were common as the result of ordinary infirmity. Prof. Sergio Vieira considers the psychological factors of depression and apathy to have been of great influence, even to the extent of causing changes in the body structure.
Many persons so deaf that they cannot hear conversation or enjoy a concert can hear over the radio without difficulty.
The week from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, inclusive, is "Messiah Week" at Bethany College, Lindsburg, where this spring the 43rd annual rendition of Handel's "Messiah" will be presented.
The sun can keep on shining at the present rate for the next 88 billion years, according to Dr. Svante Arraro, an astrophysicist of Swedish authority on astro-physics.
Mustachez are not popular on the Ohio State University campus. Ten per cent of the students of the School of Medicine wear them as a coat. In the other school on the campus they are not seen at all.
Among music lovers the Bethany Among music chorus is known from one end of the United States to the other, and it is just faintly forged, for no where is Handel's great oratorio such spirit and understanding.
