Postmaster Casts Critical Eye for Stowaway Epistles Riding "Blind" Baggage Among Clothes
t Every day is wash day so far as the University station postoffice is concerned, but its clothes lines are longer on Monday, Friday and Saturday. From 80 to 90 laundry packages are mailed every day at that office except on the three big days mentioned. Then the number increases to as high as 150, according to R. C. Abbrams, clerk. Besides a large number of smaller packages GO daily from the Mount Orade办.
To keep students from putting letters, notebooks or other written matter in the laundry packages, which should go on first class mail, is a good practice. They seem to be a great temptation to send home an old notebook or write
Soloists for Messiah
Concert Here May 2
Include Noted Singers
Famous Musicians Are Chosen for Qualities Possessed in Group Song
The solests for the Messiah concert, to be given in Robinson gymnastics Friday evening, May 2, will include a dance with a contraltto from Kansas City, and a tenor from New York, according to the Dean, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
Ehel Benedict, soprano, and Burton Harbert, baritone, are the two Chicago soloists. Mrs. Raymons Haven, contralto, is the Kansas City, Missouri, and Arthur Craft, tenor, is the New York singer secured for the Messiah.
"These solists have all been chosen because they possess the qualities especially adapted for singing in the Messiah. Miss Benedict possesses a strong vocal voice and a volume which she handles with splendid intelligence. Burton Thatcher is an artist who sings with great dramatic effect, and is possessed of a ringer, resonant baritone which beats like a drum." Dean Swarthout said.
"Mrs. Havens is one of Kansas City's noted singers who is now aearing with various choral societies throughout the state, and was soloist at the New York University Arthur Craft, the New York tense is an excellent singer, and was so owed under great difficulties for I mESSAGE," declared Dean Swarthof, already asked for an option to broa cast the MESSiah by radio from Robi son gymnasium, and plans are no being made to have either that new super or the Kansas City Star born MESSAH, according to Der SWARTHOUT.
"The seating problem is offering some difficulties to which Dr. F. C. Allen and John Bunn are giving their co-operation to remedy, for a capacity house for the Messiah in insured, and a flexible space will have to be reserved for the large choir and fifty-person ensemble, Den Swarthout said.

The extinct North Dakota Indians which has just been announced here. While the chief purpose of the society was to train boys in stealth and theft, there were strict regulations on what they could do when stealing was done. The Stone Hammer raids took place at night, and it was required that before sunset the boys go through camp announcing that they would steal that night. Everyone was fully notified and proceeded with stealing the safest places, so that they considered the safest places.
It was not unusual. Miss Demonere reports, for the Stone Hammer boys to lift the blanket on which an old woman had been wrapped and the old woman gently to one side, and take the dried meat or other food from beneath her bed without wake-
The next night the boys made up
packs of gifts for the people who
had been robbed, and it was considered
everything was properly ad
justed.

The Date Rule Will Be Off
Experienced woodsmen say that when a man gets lost in the forest he usually travels round and round in a circle.
Up-to-date shoppers make up their minds what they are going to buy before they leave the house. They know exactly what they want, how much they want to pay, and just where they will find the right goods at the right prices. To them shopping is a pleasure.
That is just the way some folks shop. They hit the buying trail, stray from it a bit, and before they are aware of the fact, they are lost—wandering in a maze of counters—gradually growing weier and weiarer—and finally get back home mentally and physically tuckered out without having accomplished much.

These modern shoppers read the Kansan advertisements carefully and regularly. They find that the advertisements save them steps, bother, trouble and time.
