After passing the state bar examination, Roland E. Boynton thought he needed a vacation before hanging up his shingle, so spent a few days in St. Joe visiting friends and then a week in Chicago enjoying the lakes. "I did not realize that there were so many automobiles in the world as I saw on Michigan avenue in ten minutes," said Boynton. After August first Mr. Boynton will have a law office at Emporia.

Mr. Barba expects to speak at several other Kansas towns during his visit from the closing of the Summer School in September, when he will regular school term in September.
Mr. Barba graduated with the class of "12 from Minerna College, Manila. He then worked two years in the University's Civil Service and came to the University as an administrator originally intended to take medicine, but soon gave it up to take law.
STUART WALKER AGAIN
To Bring Portmanteau Theatre to University in March
Stuart Walker, who lectured at the University last November concerning his Portmanteau Theatre will bring this baby of the Midget Playhouse Family to Lawrence during the week of March 18, 1917, when an evening performance will be given on the Hill. The story of the Bandbox-Vest Pocket-Shawl Strap—or Portmanteau Theatre and its designer, Stuart Walker, reads like a fairy tale, beginning in the old fascinating way; Once upon a time, there was a boy dreamer who, with plaster figures produced plays in a boy theatre until, shamed by the laughter of the neighbors, they hid them in hedges away. In the busy school days that followed the ball all but forgot his dream of real figures moving on a real stage at his direction.
Then came college, Presto, the old love of play-acting awakens, and with what a field in which to develop! The scenes of the boy's life shift again to the dull monotony of a lumber camp; but not for long. The boy ran away, of course to New York, the Mecca of all playwrights and journalists, and became stage director for David Belasco for six years.
But the boy in the man dreamed of a theatre for the children of New York's east side and it is that realized dream, the tiniest theatre in the world, that comes to Lawrence next spring.
Mr. Walker is not only an actor of ability, and a stage director of note; he is also a playwright and has written several plays which are included in the Portmanteau Theatre Company's repertoire for the season.
The list of plays for the coming season includes "The Lady of The Weeping Willow Tree," "Gammer Gurton's Needle," "The Leaf in the Wind," "The Golden Doom," "Nevertheless," "Love's Labor Lost," "The Crier By Night," "Six Who Pass While The Lentils Boil," "The Trimplet," and "The Window Garden."
Francis Stevens, son of Professor Stevens of the department of biology had a part in "The Trimplet" and the Six Who Pass While the Lentils Blend" performance at Christodora House, a Jewish settlement in New York.

DONALD D. DAVIS,
Director of Publicity.
No wonder friends of Don Davis, junior College, stared when they read a letter yesterday from Downs written on the above stationery. The letter addressed to a member of the faculty follows:
Downs, Kans, July 7, 1916.
Dear Professor:
Special—the Ambrosia ice at Wiemann's—Adv.
I mailed you yesterday two copies of the Downs "News and Times," one on a week old, the other dated July 6. Just wanted to show you how different the old home town sheet looked after being inoculated with herpes, which caused her genitalis germ. We had quite a time, get acquainted set up; but I think there's a little improvement in the looks of the sheet, and I hope for more in the future.
Manage to keep very busy holding down three jobs at present: Press agent for the Celebration, reporter on the "News," and assistant soda squirt at one of the drug stores during the celebration of combination of jobs surely makes the hydra lucr pile up in my bank account. I don't have time to spend any!
Clifford A. Altman, A. B.'14, A. M.'15, has accepted the position as chemist for the Peet Bros. Manufacturing Co. at Kansas City. Mrs. Altman, formerly Genevieve Sterling, and two children, Jean and Allan, will visit in Lawrence with Mrs. Altmann's father, Professor Sterling, before locating in Kansas City.
Don Davis
We're getting out a 16-page special edition for the Celebration. Having a lot of trouble, too; as we haven't enough type in the office to set headlines. I'll send you a copy on July 13.
Yours sincerely, Don Davis
A letter home—the Summer Session Kansan.
HEADS FIGHT TO PREVENT LEGAL HANGING IN KANSAS
As president of the American League for the Prevention of Legalized Crime, B. W. Lindbergh, a Summer Session student is actively pushing the campaign to save the life of Robert Strout, convicted murdered, who is under sentence of death in the Federal prison at Leavenworth, who is charged following prisoner and although declared insane by every court that has examined him, stands an excellent chance of being hanged this fall. His execution would be the first legal hanging to take place in Kansas in twenty years.
Y. M. C. A. OPEN TO ALL
Room Lists and Employment Bureau Are Maintained at Myers Hall
The Y. M. C. A. is open to all men attending the Summer Session, where at any time they are welcome to all the privileges it offers. An employment bureau is maintained and also a list of all rooming places for new
Literature may be found there which deals with the ethical problems of the boy. Hugo T. Wadell, the general secretary, says that he would like to have men who have problems to solve in regard to high school Y. M. C. A. clubs.
The employment bureau of the Y. M. C. A, has found work for twelve Summer Session students who are earning their way through college, studying or working on table waiting, dish washing, caring for lawns and numerous other jobs.
Mr. Wedell says that, if anyone wishes a job he should file his applification him and he will act as a medium between him and those wishing to employ help.
There are around one thousand rooms listed varying in price and conveniences, the prices being about the same as they were last year. Men who enter the University in the fall can get a list of the rooms at the secretary's office in Myers Hall. As soon as the rooms are taken the secretary is notified and they are scratched from the list.
The mineral and unsavory vegetable substance in Lawrence city water have been determined in experiments done at the city water plant with the co-operation of Prof. C. C. Young, and a successful way of eliminating them has been devised. The salts of calcium, magnesium and of iron make the water hard, and a moss growing in the sedimentation reservoirs at the city plant is responsible for the color and odor.
The result of Mr. Young's experiment is given in Bulletin No. 1 of the Division of Chemical Research which is nearly ready for distribution. The report concludes with the statement that Lawrence water can be freed iron by proper aeration, followed by sedimentation and filtration.
To avoid the use of city water for drinking purposes, the University supplies distilled water. "The bill was $20.90 for May, and will be about $25.00 for June," said Registrar Geo. O. Foster.
A fine place to stop after the picture show. Reynolds.—Adv.
Those in charge of the Water Laboratory said that the danger of sewer contamination and typhoid were more to be feared than the presence of iron. "You would have to drink a lot," she said, to get enough to hurt him, said Prafanis, head of the department of chemistry, "The trouble is it takes more soap."
"No trouble that is due to the presence of iron salts," said Doctor John Sundwall, "has come to my notice as a result of drinking the city water. It is true, that in excessive quantities, they are harmful."
To avoid the cost of distilled water and get a product as palatable, a professor of the University recommends putting a lump of lime the size of a pea in a bucket of water, boiling the water until it is inside to cool. By the time it is cool the drugs are settled and the pure water may be poured for drinking.
Back Home!
The middle of next week will see a number of you students on your way back home for the rest of the summer. You will doubtless be in a hurry or get there once you are started.
If your way home lies between here and Kansas City it will doubtless be in a hurry to get there once you are car for Kansas City and intermediate points every hour of the day.
Professor Young Finds Way to Soften It and Remove Iron
The big comfortable cars leave Lawrence at forty minutes past every hour, and they get you into Kansas City in an hour and forty-five minutes. And the fare is only seventy-two cents. It pays to ride

Nearly five hundred teachers pursued courses through correspondence with the University of Kansas during the past year. Some of these are continuing this work through the summer.
By this means, credits may be secured towards the Bachelors' degrees and the University Teachers' Diploma. Many teachers find in these courses an opportunity to review and broaden their knowledge of subjects they are teaching.
Several students of the summer session are now arranging their correspondence study courses for next year. Some will secure additional credits during the remainder of the vacation. If you are planning on taking correspondence work this summer or next year, delay may be avoided by selecting your courses and making definite arrangements before leaving the University. A fee of $10.00 entitles residents of Kansas to correspondence instruction for a period of twelve months. Courses are offered in the following subjects:
