What Will Check Falling Hair?
Singeing the Ends
Every strand of hair on your head is a tube, an oil duct from the scalp pores. If the ends split and open up, the oil, which is the life of the hair, flows out in excess. The roots die in a few hours and the strands begin to fall.
Closes the split strands and welds together the broken parts. It brings new oil into the roots and besides checking falling hair a SINGE grows new hair, fine and downy at first—but after a week you see you skin hair growing on the single strands of hairs in the scalp. Strands on your coat collar or clings to your clothing, your hair needs a SINGE.

"IN THAT ELDER DAY"
How "Old Round Corner" Started When "Santa Fe" Didn't Mean "Railroad."
"Old Round Corner Drug Store" are the words of the sign which hangs over the entrance of one of the oldest buildings in Lawrence, situated at the corner of Eighth and Massachusetts streets.
Early in 1855 a party of Massachusetts men came west to try their fortunes and settled in Lawrence. Among them was B. W. Woodard, who in the same year put in a stock of drugs in a little one story frame building, typical of all frontier towns, of the settlers who show how the east side of Massachusetts street and near the present location of the Bowersock Theater.
From this little frame building, there was an unobstructed view across the muddy waters of the Kaw to the hills, which at that time were covered with trees, but were later cleared in order to furnish material for the saw mill which civilization brought with it to Lawrence.
REIDSKINS AND TRADERS CAME From beyond these hills used to come the Delaware Indians. These, and the traders and freighters who passed through Lawrence from Westport to Santa Fe, were the best patrons of the little Woodard Drug Store.
As the frontier pushed further west, the business of the store was increased, until it at last became necropolis. The old building was turned into a stock room, and the retail portion of the business was moved into a new place on the west side of the building just south of the Eldridge Hotel.
Here gathered a picturesque mingling of the types that went to the making up of the West of that day. Polished Easterners in search of fortune or adventure or both, Indians, traders and land agency men, soldiers, settlers and laborers, soldiers, military artisans, half-breeds and vagrant Mexicans, all loitered at the old drug store while they awaited the arrival of the stage and mail.
But that spirit of courage and faith which he had retained throughout the years spent in the new country, enabled him to look beyond these evil days and to dream a Lawrence of the law in less than twenty days after Quantum II, Mr. Woodard was again filling prescriptions and conducting business.
There were many reverses for the business man in those early days of Kansas. It was difficult to obtain supplies. Often the settler had little or nothing with which to pay the debts which necessity had forced him to move North and South at war, business became a difficult problem than ever. Then in 1863 came the night of August twenty-first. To every early settler in Lawrence the date of the Quantrell Raid is synonymous with the loss of home, loss of business, or the death of loved ones. Mr. Woodward was not only the first second-of-August, a heap of ashes was all that remained of his property.
THE NIGHT OF AUGUST 21
corrier' was built on Maschuschettas street. About this time Henry Faxon was taken into the firm. Later, because of better railroad facilities, the wholesale department was moved to Kansas City. As the business there grew, a new office was an express agent in Lawrence, became one of the partners and the firm was then known as Woodard, Faxon. Horton Wholesale Co., with headquarters at Kansas City. During this time Mr. Woodward looked after the interest of the Lawrence store; but during his absence the store was manned by Dr. John Moore who was connected with the business for forty years.
Two years later, a substantial, well-built brick building with a "round
OLD STORE CHANGES HANDS
Soon after Mr. Woodard's death,
the store was sold by the heirs to R.
G. Eyth. In September 1915, E. H.
G. H. armor were taken into the
business, and H. G. merely a student at the University,
has now been connected with the store for seven years.
The "Old Round Corner" under the new management, continues to carry on a small wholesale business by supply chain operations. It has a large business in physicians' supplies and prescriptions. It was among one of the first drug stores to take an agency for kodaks, and still does a large business for the Eastman people.
Quality and service is the basis upon which the new management is trying to build up its business. As the customer looks about at the well filled and orderly kept shelves he unconsciously feels that he will receive good quality and excellent service for the money expended.
Constitution of W. A. A. Will State Requirements
TO AWARD "K" TO WOMEN
The constitution of the Women's Athletic Association has been compiled by the executive board of this organization, sent to the printer, and then distributed to each form to each of the members. In this pamphlet are stated the number of points required for the different letters and numerals, and the trophies awarded to be awarded the winners of inter-class and inter-group contests.
The award of merit which the average woman athlete can gain, consists of a large square topped letter of the smaller smallers, K. U. across the middle, M. A. a member takes part, in floor work or in some sport, a maximum, medium or minimum number of points is given to count toward the award of merit; so a woman need not be an athlete with three or four numbers of athletics in order to gain this letter of honor. The points necessary to gain the different class numerals will count in the winning of this letter A. The highest honor, K., can be worn only when the women play in some intercollegiate game.
This organization was started in the early part of last December, when some 250 women signed petitions for a Women's Athletic Association at K. U., an enthusiastic meeting held and this association formed. At this time Miriam Jones was elected president, Joyce Brown, treasurer, while these officials together with Dr. Goetz, Miss Gladys Elliot, and Miss Hazel Pratt were declared the executive board.
The fact that the position of sport director, filled by Miss Pratt, was instituted for the first time, last fall saw an increase in the number shown this year in the different sports. The basketball women have already played several games and have scheduled several more. A swimming meet is being planned for May, when the women will be organized in the next few weeks. Effective and efficient hockey teams, largely composed of upperclass women and coached by Dr. Green, have been played all winter. And even cross-country squads have been in action.
KANSANS HEAR CONCERTS
The faculty of the University of Wisconsin has felt the necessity of warning the students against the interference of Cupid with their studies. A psychology professor has even gone so far as to issue anti-love recipes.
"Although over 200 women have, through their signing of the petitions for an athletic association the right to charter membership, less than 100 have taken out membership tickets. Brown, secretary of the organization: "We are anxious that all women get their tickets so we will know definitely how many will be admitted to the banquet given by the association too. These tickets cost nothing and a minimum fee—an active part in athletics. The only thing required is her loyal support."
10 p.m.
The Graduate Lab will sit at Westminster Hall Friday. evening at eight o'clock for a social evening. According to Olney, president of the Club, there will be entertainment both gastronomica and intellectual.

FINAL DISTRIBUTION OF ENTERPRISE FUNDS MADE
Final appropriations of the student enterprise funds for the year was made at a meeting yesterday of the joint board which controls student activities and the sale of the student enterprise tickets.
The per cent of the proceeds which goes to each of the permanent organizations on the hill is fixed by the articles of agreement drawn up by the board, but each year there is half of one per cent of the funds which examines unappropriated, and has to be divided by action of the board.
The Mandolin Club had one per cent appropriated to it, but because it did not meet the contract it was decided yesterday to forfeit its membership in the half section. This left the club one half member to be distributed. One half of one per cent will go to the Womens' Athletic Association. The remaining one per cent was divided between the Women's Student Government Association and the Men's Student Association and the amount going to the three organizations will be about twenty-five dollars each.

MANY STUDENTS MAKE CHANGES IN COURSES
Records in the office of Registrar G. O. Foster show that not all the students had definitely decided upon transferring to a low when they came here last fall. Thirty-nine students have transferred from one school to another since the beginning of the year. Of this number 60 were at the beginning of last semester.
The large number of transfers to the College would seem to indicate that many have concluded that a general education is desirable before taking more than nine transfers nineteen were to the College, twelve coming from the School of Engineering. Seven students in the School of Fine Arts augmented at the College, while three members of the College decided to study Fine Arts.
The School of Engineering received four new members, three of whom came from the School of Pharmacy and one came from the College. The School of Law got three College students.
Samuel H. Ferguson, of Atchison, who was a sophomore in the College in '14-15, returned Saturday for a short visit. Sam is working in the office of a lumber company in Atchison, but says he will be back among the next fall to try to absorb more knowledge and supporter of his Alma Mater and back regularly to look after her welfare.
