"99 PER CENT PERFECT"
State Inspectors Award Lawrence Rooming Houses High Rating
Seventy-two rooming houses, restaurants and hotels in Lawrence have been inspected by officers of the state hotel commission. The names of the rooms listed in the report of the commission published this week at Topeka. The usually large number of places is due to the fact that last spring the inspectors began including houses for Universities where five or more rooms were rented.
Of the inspected places in Lawrence, twenty-three were included in the classification of rooming houses, practically all being for students. There are forty restaurants and nine hotels in Lawrence.
Of the 4,216 places inspected in the state, 143 were college rooming homes. Jon Congdon, state hotel management renter, students housed above any other class.
Mr. Congdon considers 99.30 per cent of the college rooming houses as "good," and only a fraction of a per cent good to fair." No college rooms placed of the larger size classified ranked as low as "fair" or "poor."
Mr. Congdon has expressed himself as pleased with the result of the college rooming house inspection and inspection will be repeated this year
MOST TROUBLESOME WORD
Professor Believes He Has Discovered It
What is the most troublesome word?
That question was asked Dr. W. L. Burdick, professor of law in the University of Kansas, the other day. He replied:
"With the exception of the ubiquitous little word 'yes', which gets us all into trouble, I should say the word 'guarantee,' or its equivalent, 'warrant', probably is the most troublesome word. People are being defrauded continually because they persist in misunderstanding that word 'guarantee.' We have a Kansasan (name deleted) went into an auction house in a big city in another state. A plausible person with no delusions as to 'guarantee' sold my friend a guaranteed watch, a watch guaranteed to have been imported from Switzerland, and to have twenty-one jewels. And it was a genuine Swiss watch. It did have twenty-one jewels. But it wouldn't run. In fact, we made a piece of jewelry. My friend appealed to the city authorities. They told him he had no recourse. The auctioneer had not guaranteed that it would run.
"Guarantee" means, "I make this right if it isn't as I say. If I did not say the watch, horse, molasses or what-not will run, you can't hold me responsible for breaking my guarantee if they do not run. 'Why, this is guaranteed,' says a seller to a buyer, and the buyer buys on the strength of that word 'guarantee.' Guaranteed to be what, to do what? 'Guarantee' also implicates it in the course of that to buy at home and always of established, reputable dealers whose standing assures the buyer of just treatment."—By Samuel O. Rice, Director of Publicity for the University.
Mav Remodel Grandstand
The bleachers on McCook Field are undergoing some general repairing, but there will be no remodeling with the possible exception of the grand-stand which has never proved satisfactory, as it protrudes twenty feet farther into the field than the other stands and interferes with track events and baseball. If the work is done this fall, it will be started in time to be completed for the K. U.-M. U. game.

What's all that noise?
Three thousand boys
And girls, their joys
Exaulting.
With mighty boasts,
And dreadful roasts,
The frantic hosts
Assemble.
The lines are drawn,
the battle's on,
The pig-skin's gone—
See yonder.

Oh, how they mix
And tumble.
Five yards to gain,
Now lift your man
Clear off the pan—
Or grid iron.
A center buck,
Oh, heck, what luck,
Say, coach, you chuck
That backlack.
We've lost the ball,
Go, get a maul,
And brain them all,
The greasers.
Look at 'em go—
We've got no show,
Our line's like dough-
Un (e) levened.
A funfle, that,
See, what a spat.
Here, hold my hat,
I'll part 'em.
The pig-skin's ours,
Bring on those flowers,
Use all your powers
To cheer 'em.
Look there —he's gone,
The goal he's on,
The game is won,
A TO-U-C-H-D-O-W-N.
Oh, what a spell,
Such fearful yell,
It sounds like—well.

As everyone, who has tried to raise flowers in Kansas knows, it is necessary to choose a hardy plant, one adapted to cool winters and the dry hot summers. Two of the finest and hardiest herbaceous perennials are the peonies and irises, says Prof. W. C. Stevens, head of the botany department in the University of Kansas. They are practical, easy to transplant, and look well the whole growing season. Their flowers are beautiful. Those of the iris in particular provide a border for rear walks and lawns.
Plant Peonies and Irises Now.

The peony will bloom a quarter of a century if undisturbed, said Professor Stevens. He advises planting peonies and irises now, although peonies do very well if set out in the spring when it blooms. They need wilties to bloom until their third year.
To set out peony and ice root-stocks, prepare the ground to a depth of at least two feet, cover the bottom with about three inches of well rotted stable manure, then fill in with a good garden loam mixed with a large quantity of leaf mold. It is imperative the mkxture be two or three feet deep if the plant is to bloom well can then be set two inches below the surface and the soil pressed down firmly. A dressing of dry manure over the top will insure the plants living in the winter.—By Samuel O. Rice Director of Publicity to the University.
