IT'S TIME FOR HIKES
Nature is Going to Invite You Out Into the Open Soon
FEEL A TUG TO RAMBLE?
NUMBER 128.
Some Pretty Spots Just Six Miles From Campus
The hygienic effects of hikes are somewhat overestimated," said Dr. Alice Goetz, when commenting upon the advisability of hiking. "People so often call these three mile strolls out to Cameron's Bluff with a frying pan in one hand and a handle of wienies in the other, hikes. A hie keeps out at three or four miles, a heke keeps up this rate for two or three hours. This is good exercise from a hygienic standpoint.
STROLLS WORTH WHILE
"The little strolls are certainly worth while, however. The breath of country air, the jolly companionship over campfires, and that feeling of freedom are things which enter in and make holidays enjoyable."
NATURE WILL INVITE SOON
Miss Hazei Prall also favors the idea of hiking. "One thing about these country walks—they can be just as useful as walking." The exercise is so general that everyone can take part. If dressed properly in clothing especially adapted to walking, the exercise, if you go fast enough, will be good from a physical standpoint."
Nature's urgent invitation, for a hike to the country will soon be answered by the student body. The day, girl, and lunch basket combination, providing each ingredient is an ideal way to warm up before worry exterminate. There is scenery in a six mile radius of Mount Oread, unequaled in other parts of the state. When trees and spring verse markers get stuck in every student gears that call to ramble.
WHERE TO GO
Where mother nature displays her most appealing charms is always the most satisfactory sport to hike for. The rugged terrain of the south of Mount Oread is full of such enchantments. Some of the most beautiful description in Margaret Hill McCarter's, "Wall of Men" is woven about this historical stream. The fact that horses were a popular story, now called Horsesee Lake, is only a few miles east of Lawrence.
Cameron's Bluff is probably the most popular hiking place among K. U. students. It is best accessible by the river, but a good walker may oneeti, two-tie, telegraph-post-most. The bluff is rich in cave-like little nooks suitable for campfires and has a spring of real Adam's Ale.
TED IS A DADDY NOW
Blue Mound which can be seen from the campus about six miles to the south-east is a rich hunting ground for arrow heads. But if this is too long a hike, Lake View is a pretty place with a good lunch and then an accommodation Santa Fe train comes along at the right time on the track for home.
Journalism Assistant Makes Im
Important Announcement Today
Ted Cronemeyer, assistant in the department of journalism, came up to the office this afternoon wearing in short to his usual apparel, a broad smile.
"It's a ten-pound boy," he remarked.
When he reached his office this afternoon he found his desk covered with newspapers and babies clipped from Sunday newspaper pers in the journalism library.
He brushed them off contempt
uously.
"My youngster has them beaten a mile," he said.
To Tell of Germany
Prof. H. O. Kruse, of the department of German, will deliver an illustrated lecture on "Germany and the Germans," this afternoon at 4:30 in Fraser Hall, room 318. The lecture will be in English of the Deutsche Verein and is open to the public. The lecture will be in English instead of German.
"Spanish Gypsies" Postponed
Work on the "Spanish Gypsies," the operetta which is to be given by the Girls' Glee Club, is progressing well. The first date set for this production was April 19, but this date is now taken by the senior, play. Owing to the fact that it is imminent, the time before the Easter Vacation, the operetta has been postponed until the last of the month.
In spite of the fact that Germany is engaged in such a fierce struggle, the number of women students at the twenty-two universities shows an increase of 445 this summer over the previous summer.

LELAND GOES PI PHI
GIRLS ALL TICKLED
Pledged His Trunk Too
"Ring Ching Ching
Ho Hipy Hi
Arrow Arrow
P: Beta, Phi"
*
The Pi Phis sang dancing around their latest pledge, Leland, Sunday afternoon.
The acquisition of Leland was a considerable surprise all around even to Leland. It all came about through a belated April fool joke which originated among the few dateless Phi Pis loafing around the house Sunday afternoon.
Leland and company had just returned to the Pi Pbi house from their Sunday afternoon stroll and were resting quietly on the shady veranda when shrieks in treble came from inside. The room was rushed in and fainted straight to Morpheus. His own trunk with his name painted on it, stood end up on the perfor floor with half of the contents scattered about the room. Hastily he grabbed the socks, shirts and sundry other unremenonables, and stuffing them back into the trunk he suit with a bang and sat down on the lid.
But the excitement had aroused the house and since Leland's trunk was already there, the Pi Phis decided to pledge the owner.
A few minutes later he hurriedly retired to 1140 Louisiana where the mystery of how the trunk had been sent over during his absence and smugged into the house, was exchanged by him. He called up the Pi Phi house to get the new pledge's name, late Sunday afternoon.
TWO-BIT DANCE APRIL 15
Big Crowd Needed To Make It Pay Out
At last the placards are out announcing that the Student Council is going to give that long talked of twobit dance. It is scheduled for Robinson Gymnasium on the evening of April 15, and two pieces from Kansas City—Harley and a violinist—will furnish the music.
There will be a program of sixteen dances and the whole thing will cost only two bits a couple. It will take a good crowd in the Gymnasium to make the dance pay out, but Edward Tanner, Chairman of the social committee of the council who finally gave the reason of the dance to please the dance, says, that he feels that the students will stand behind this dance as they have stood behind all of the others that the council has given this year.
Owing to illness, Miss Nelle Bryant, who was to have given a recital in Fraser Hall Friday, April 7, will not be able to sing. Dean Harold L. Butter hopes that at some later date Miss Bryant will be able to give a recital.
Howard Laslett, '19 College, who has been carrying his arm in a sling for the last eight weeks, at last has that member out. Although his friend is still weak, he expects to be fit for training of the football team next fall.
A Correction
...
Miss Bryant is a well known soprano from the Royal Opera, Ulm, Germany. She came home to the United States when war was declared and the opera house at Ulm was closed. Her concerts in this country have been given with great success. The concert here was to have been given free.

Members of the faculty who wish to attend the transcontinental reunion should get their tickets tomorrow at the Alumni Office. Any tickets remaining are sent to the seniors who ask for them.
"Oh, East is East, and West is West.
And never the twain shall meet."

WANTS FLYING TAUGHT
Scientific Study of Aeronautics Urged by Augustus
Post
That aeronautics is of the utmost importance to the present day world and that the universities and colleges over the country should be the first to help boost it along is the opinion of Augustus Post, with the "Omar, the Tentmaker" company at the Bowers last night.
A VIGOROUS AERONAUT
And Mr. Post, not Gay Bates Post, but Augustus Post, speaks as one having authority. He was secretary of the Aero Club of America for four years, was aide to Allen R. Hawley in the balloon that won the Gordon-Bennett cup, several years ago. He was the thirteenth man in the United States who has been an enthusiastic and vigorous promoter of the future of air machines.
He quotes a man who has just come back from France as saying that he had worked in government plant near France part of an effort for 14,000 aerplanes. He also says that France now have 2,000, England 1,800 and Germany many more than that, with factories working in every place, but turning out as many as possible.
Mr. Post not only believes thoroughly in the future of flying, but has the figures to prove that right now it is a very important factor in the life of nations, and especially belligerent ones.
Mr. Post even went as far to predict that in a very short time, mail would be carried from New York to San Francisco by air lines. Sixty hours of flying time would be sufficient.
"Just to show you that this is not all in the realms of fancy," said Mr. Post smiling behind a black moustache that would do credit to even a Guy with a bachelor's degree, centently with Postmaster-general Burleson, who has advertised for bids for carrying mail in Alaska by airship, the government spends annually $80,000 for mail carrying, making the delivery cost about one dollar a pound."
Alfred G. Tritt, a former K. U. student, now coach of the Larned high school basket ball team, was much perturbed over the loss of one of his stars Thursday evening. However, the star was found in care of a freshman on the Hill a few hours later.
Right here in the United States, Mr. Post goes on to say, the Curtiss factory employs 1800 men and has many nurses for aeroplanes, most of them for the army.

"HOW.
TO MAKE-UP”
Leading Principals in "Omar the Tentmaker" Explain The
Advise a Study of Costumes Be fore Portraval
TALK TO EMBRYO ACTORS
"Art Behind the Footlights" or "How to Make-up" might have been the title of an impromptu performance staged by two leading memoir writers. Uates Post company yesterday afternoon Through the kindness of Miss Louise Grassler, leading lady of "Omar the Tentmaker" and Mr. Gerold Pryng, second in importance to Mr. Post himself, the class in dramatic art was made up of learning the secrets of make-up as employed by leitimate actors.
Demonstrated THE ART Both Mr. Pryng and Miss Grassier brought in "Owen the Wren" to work with them costumes worn by them in "Owen the Wren" illustrated the art of transformation. For many members of the class it was the first opportunity to meet real actors, and become acquainted with the means they employed in their art. After they had explained the make-up of the characters in the play Mr. Pryng and Miss Grassier talked with members of the senior play and advised them to the make-up for the different characters of "Coping the Grapes."
"Each character must be well studied in order to convey the correct impression," said Mr. Pryng. "An actor must study the costumes of the people of the day that he is portraying, as well as social conditions and historical situation to the character. And then each actor has to study his own face in order to know how to make-up. Each actor's face presents a different facial expression method of make-up employed by one actor would not do at all for the next."

The last dance has been given at the Fraternal Aid and carpenters are tearing up the old dance floor and remodeling the room for office suites.
As he was going home from his supper the other evening, Tom Walz, '19 College, accidently dropped a dime and two pennies out of his pocket. It was quite dark so he did not try to get it back; he resolved to get up early the next morning to them. He awoke early the following morning and looked out of his window to the spot where he had dropped the coins. But to use his own words "Two negro women were stooping over and onto the spot." Walz gave one sickly groan and lay back in his bed resolved to sleep until morning.

A gym class went out the other afternoon for a two mile cross country. Most of the men were recruits lately added through an effective method of Dean Templin's. The first quarter was dashed off at a good pace and was finished with a pile. Most of the squad were on the wagon of turning back when a wagon was sighted a few rods ahead. The farmer gladly loaded them in and the mules jogged on. The farmer's pipe was passed around and a few songs inhaled in as the tracksters rode along the course, while the bunch sprumbled up to the gym the instructor complimented them upon their good "time."

"WHISTLE IS ACCURATE"
"The whistle does not vary," said Charles Griffith, chief engineer of the power plant, "a clock regulates the whistle and by keeping the time with it you can find that the mechanism is never off time enough to make it noticeable.
Electric Clock That Measures
Hours Varies but Little
"We have nothing to do with the setting of the clock. This is left to the mechanical engineers in the department and when the clock is found to be working, which is very seldom, either Protégé or one of the engineers from his office some that the mechanism is corrected. The clock is very accurate I find and only possible difficulty comes in the hinging of the brass pegs that complete the circuit. The charge that the cable could be off as much as five minutes before it happens, the pegs are off that much they will blow at all. Either the whistle blows accurately with the clock or it doesn't blow at all and it usually blows."
