The annual this year will be the finest ever sold at the University, according to students who have seen it. It is bound in dark green leather with the title, "1916 The cloth edition will sell for two dollars and the leather for three dollars. A special de luxe edition, bound in green morocco and stamped with gold, will sell for five dollars. Orders. Orders have been taken. They are lined with green satin and hand-tooled decorations.
Probably the most novel feature of this year's book are the "Lip Impression" pages showing the kind of kisses given by the twelve women in the University having beautiful mouths. These impressions made by means of a special preparation placed on the lip of the women, refuse refusers to tell what dainty feminine lip imprints will be seen but he offers these as the initials of some of the winners: D. L.; I; H. A; D.; R. F.; K. F.; J. S.; and M. B. Each of the impressions is named with such titles as "Inoxicating," "Kiss," "Inoxicating the Kiss," "Kiss," "The Concentrated Kiss," and is accompanied by a fifty word exposition of its particular merit.
The Vanity Fair section, containing the pictures of the winners in the beauty contest, will announce whom the buyers of the Jayhawker have selected as the most beautiful and popular woman in the University President F. D. Crabbs, of the Bank Note Co., whose book is printed the book; or that this section is the rear-rearrankable he has ever seen in a school annual and that the entire Jayhawker is mechanically the best job ever turned out of his plant. The charge is one third more for the book this year than last. H. A. Burger, president of the Burgery graving Co., which had the contract for cuts, says that the Jayhawker this year is twenty-five per cent more than any other school annual ever put out in the Valley and that he believes it will be the finest school annual ever printed in the middle west.

PULMOTOR IS USELESS
Instrument Intended to Save Human Life Seldom in Proper Condition
An inquiry was made this morning, by the Daily Kansan concerning a rumor to the effect that no physical examination of sophomore athletes required oxygen supply or to guard to the deficient oxygen supply or the University pulmotor.
NORODY RESPONSIBLE
Nobody RESISTED.
"Nobody in particular is responsible for the condition of the pulmonor," said Dr. Nailismit of the department of Physical Education, "but I suppose his disability lies between Marshall E. M. Briggs and myself. That the tanks were empty Wednesday afternoon is probably due to the fact that someone had taken the reserve tank from John M. Shea's office last week. At the present time this tank has not been located."
COULD'T FIND RESERVE TANK
"Last week Dr. Ida Hye asked permission to use the pulmotor for demonstration purposes before the Physiology classes," continued Dr. Naimith, "but no oxygen was administered and the apparatus was immediately returned. Saturday but a city nurse came with a case Dr. H. T. Jones at the Glen home on Pennsylvania street came to the Gymnasium and got the pulmotor. Later Dr. Jones came to the Gymnasium saying they were out of oxygen. A thorough search was made for the reserve tank but it was not found. The city lung motor was then called for but in the meantime the child had died. Monday there being no need nothing was done; an effort was made to fill the small cylinders but necessary connections could not be found. Wednesday when an attempt to use the tank was made the pressure was too low to operate the motor."
The pulmator in question is no good," said Dr. Naismith. "One reason it that the pressure is injurious to the lungs and the heart, and this specific case regarding the oxygen supply. A lung motor should be substituted."
"All men athletes are given a thorough examination before they may check out suits," said the Doctor. "About three per cent have affected hearts and it is a task to keep the hardy looking fellows out of athletics. In these cases a certain amount of exercise is necessary under super-intensive training is not so strenuous."
"Miss Richards had been exercising about ten minutes Wednesday afternoon when I was called," said Dr. Goetz. "The exercise had not been violent. The valves in her heart were good but the existing conditions were such as are usually found in older people."
Speaking of Miss Richards' death, Dr. Goetz said, "Nobody could have detected the condition of Miss Richards. She passed a good examination a year ago last fall and has always been a hardy and active girl."
According to Dr. S. A. Matthews, a more recent examination would probably not have detected the defective heart.
Rules Committee To Meet
"I coached Miss Richards in basketball for the past year," said Miss Hazel Pratt, "and considered her one of my most hairy girls. She never seemed to be exhausted and displayed only normal fatigue."
Rules Committee 16 Meet Dr. James Naismith, of the department of physical education, received word yesterday that his basketball rules committee which was to have met in New York City this week has been appointed until the first of May. Committee consists of four representatives from the colleges, four from the A. A. U. and four from the Y. M. C. A. Dr. Naismith will be the only representative west of Pennsylvania. His distinction as being the originator of this now popular and almost universal game makes his place an important one on the committee.

VISITS PRINTING OFFICES
"I Know Nothing About It" Says Percy Shostac
A Burns detective in the employ of Percy B. Shostac of the department of English, has discovered the parties guilty of the "squirrel print" attack on Mr. Shostac last winter. If a report is approved, Kanyan office this morning is true.
Mr. Shoostac, when seen this morning, would neither affirm nor deny the
"Oh, no I don't know anything about it," he answered quickly. "I wish I did. I wish and hope that your report is true." When asked if he had a detective working in his employ his answer was again non-committal.
"I wonder where that got out?" said he slowly.
"You know the facts of the case then?" he was asked.
"I understand that the authorities are still investigating the matter and some other professor might be able to tell you more about it than I can," Shooste. He only suggested that Chief Counsel强 be interviewed however.
When questioned about the matter the Chancellor said, "It is absolutely new to me and I know nothing whatever of it."
Investigations by the detective have been going on for two or three weeks here in Lawrence and in several of the smaller neighboring towns according to the report. In recompension Sun one day, but failed to find the type with which the posters were printed. From there he went to Perry but could find no evidence there. The editors of the McLoughlin and Euclid publications had been conducted in their offices, when questioned over long distance this afternoon.
According to an authoritative statement from another source the investigation which was being conducted by the faculty committee had been given up some time ago. Those in charge of it, Mr. Hicks, said that it practically impossible to find the guilty party, or parties, whichever it may be.

Chemists to Hold National Convention in Lawrence Next N
The University of Kansas and the middle west scored a great victory at Urbana, Illinois last week, when at the invitation of the Kansas City Section of the America Chemical Society, the university hosted its national convention in Lawrence and Kansas City next April. Lawrence will have the convention one day, while Kansas City will care for the scientists on two days because of her participation in the event's great field for excursions of inspection by the delegates.
All is joy at the Chemistry Building this week as the result of landing the big convention, and the local authorities without exception assert that it will be the most notable gathering of prominent scientists that K. U. chemical society has a membership which reaches an approximate total of 8,000 —chemists engaged in practically every branch of the science now employed in America. It includes, besides the teaching chemists, a big majority of industrial chemists, pharmaceutical chemists, chemists and many "physicians," it is the largest scientific society in America.
During the two days that the contend will hold forth in Kansas City the delegates will listen to numerous papers on the live subjects of the profession today, discuss the problems of residential plants, discuss the problems of the year, and pass the few remaining hours in banqueting and sight-seeing.

Worked All Morning Preparing Floats and Making Arrangements
LEFT CAMPUS AT NOON
The Band Was One of The Big Features
The Engineers led out their parade this noon, uncovered by the faculty or the Lawrence police force. Despite the fact that this had been declared a university Senate, the whole engineering school spent the morning completing the floats, and making the arrangements for the parade. Mickey McCune, who was in charge of the busiest man in the whole school.
The big feature of the parade was the Engineers' Band, which marched ahead of all the floats in some thirty of the biggest variety of fancy dress, a wide range of instruments imaginable, all playing horns or beating drums to the time beat out by Tony James, the organizer and leader of the band. Most of the playful figures were regulars, and the sample this noon furnished more good comedy than music.
Following the band came another of autos carrying Chancellor Strong, Dean Walker of the School of Engineering, and the faculty members. The first regular float was that of the Mines—representing a western safari two backsaw a helicopter of liquors and a card game was in progress.
Next came the Senior Civils on a float carrying several pale faced members of the Anti-cigarette League, and three husky "horrible examples." The Junior Civils presented a six-legged submarine, while the Sophome Civils brought along the Law's "goat caged up in a coal black wagon.
The Chemicals were there shooting their usual mixture of typical odors from a float representing the trenches of the Germans and the Allies. Next came the float of the Senior Electricals, which was one of the most clever of the parade—an obsolete omnivore who obsolesced a Lawrence street car. The power for the bus, which was running by itself, was being furnished by a motor on Ecke's big motor truck which was following close behind.
The Architects float represented an old Greek ruin, with signs stating that "Goldsmith's Gingerbread Gang" would build as permanently as did the Greeks. The Freshman Mechanical's float represented a dancing couple being supervised by Mrs. Brown, forbid the "clinchers" to fall "Nelson" hold up, and saw that the dancers could least six inches apart. The Freshman Electricals float carried a big electric iron ironing out the Freshmen troubles.
The Junior Mechanicals presented a very clever old mill and wheel, running from a stream of water pumped from a tank. The Sophoraomens tricolors drove a large basin with body over an auto cabinetry behind was over a little submarine which was taking chance shots at the bigger boat.
The Senior Mechanicals brought three floats representing the three ways to get through college, the first showing one of the mechanicals riding a characteristic farm implement, the second man riding a horse, and the last "the grind." The Sophomore and Freshman Mrs. the rear in the position, the former having the Willa caught and caged up, and the latter showing a bunch of lazy engineers sleeping through the ringing of a dozen alarm clocks.
At ten-thirty this morning the Engineers had their pictures taken out in front of Marvin Hall, and just before the parade started individual pictures of all of the floats were taken. Immediately after the parade the engineers adjourned for lunch, each of the various departments making arrangements for lunch for all of the students and professors in their departments. Most of the lunches tracked down on McCook where the track and field meet are to be held, but the Mechanicals were served at the Oread Cafe.
The baseball games and track events planned for this afternoon have attracted a great amount of interest, as the games and speedy all events are promised.
The Engineers' Dance which usually comes on the evening of the same day as the party is the Sophie's Friday night on account of the Soph Hop tonight.
