"Co-operation and Enthusiasm Make Party a Success," Saves Haley
Booths containing everything from duck ponds to doll shows and a ten act vanillette with short skills of music and dancing made the K. U. Carnival held in one of the most successful caves ever given here.
Throngs of people stood at the gate waiting for the doors to open at 7:30. Inside, the crown rises over the horns and throwing confetti in a true carnival spirit. Noise from music in various parts of the room echoes as the stand twerped out all else.
Attracted by the promise of a snappy performance, the crowd moved upstairs and sat for the stunts that began at 9:30. Peppy choruses with music and dancing, a short melodrama and a movie of life were features of the vendetta.
"The co-operation and enthusiasm of the students helped make the carnival the host I have *san*, according to Eldon Haley, manager of the booths. Speaking of the stunts, Frances Cronin, president everyone for the spirit they have shown in putting the carnival cross."

Poisonous Substances Absorbed Through Skin
(697 Applications)
Most of the methods inclined to think that the skin is a great protection against the absorption of poisonous substances. Surgeons for example, often scrub their hands with bichloride of mercury solutions and put on an antiseptic cream to dry the hands. Bichloride poisoning might be acquired in this way.
more poisons are sometimes absorbed through the skin. For instance, a Philadelphia painter painted a large quantity of wood alcohol over his hair and wiped it with a blind. The doctors say the wood alcohol went through the skin into the blood and was carried to the optic nerve and so did the damage.

Mouse Puts Lights Out in Engine School
Mice are little insignificant things usually, but sometimes just one of them can inconvenience many students by depriving them of the light they study by. This is just what we want to do, and mice crawled into the 36,000 volt generator in the engineering building. The little animal caused a short circuit on the line between the Chancellor's residence and Spooner library, that led both the Endocrinist and the east side of the Campus of light.
When the plug on the Engineering building was put in the one for the Library would be "kicked out" and vice versa. Sometimes both switches are operated by the light sensor at the light plant, then allowed the wires to cool; and in that interval the two places were deprived of light. After the wires had cooked, they were removed again, there was light. Thus according to Mitchell "all was caused

It is the fction of the personnel department, bring the management and the employees close together in family union spirit, pointed out Mr. DeMez.

It is necessary to keep labor in business in employee in relation to the pay roll, sales and the budget operating cost plan conducted by all the plants of Montgomery Ward and company's headquarters. To achieve efficient operation, Mr. Derritt declared that one of the big problems of this nature is placing employees in the right position upon their entrance into the employment process.
Mr. DeMerritt emphasized the helpfulness of clubs and organizations among the members of the company to create this friendly feeling and happy fellowship, a psychological facet that will be an important supportive of the personal impairment is in every department; it is that person's business to acquaint new employees with the organization and the location of the various equipment used in the work; it is that the work are important in the labor turnover, said Mr. DeMerritt.

Flies Around World for Food Each Year
When Uncle Sam's "Magnifices of the Air" complete their globe enriched flight, folks may be inclined to apologize for ever having called aviators "birdiness." This trip of over 23,000 miles would seem so far to outside Nature's eye, but it turns out to the words "feathered aviators." Ornithologists, however, do not share this view. They point out that there is a bird, the tern, which makes a yearly round trip of 22,500 miles from its breeding ground in the north polar region to feeding grounds in the Arctic and back again. It has been described since ornithology ago before Magellan.
