File away that old suit and overcoat, slip them to some worthy individual and step out to greet the New Year in clothes that put the stamp of prosperity upon you.
You know how new clothes stiffen your backbone, you know the confidence born of being well dressed; new clothes are cashable assets you can't afford to leave out of your business plans for "sixteen."

STIMPSON UNCOVERS
DEFECTIVE WEIGHTS
Prof. E. F. Stimpson, deputy sealer of weights and measures, was called down to Ottawa Friday afternoon to test the wagon scales there which have been the cause of much complaint recently. In fact, the complaints became so numerous that the clerk and commissioner of Franklin county, in which Ottawa is located, finally subscribed the necessary funds to have Professor Stimpson come down and give the scales a thorough test.
Professor Stimpson reports that he is often called upon to make these trips, although the state law requires that each county keep a complete set of testing weights and do their own scale adjusting law, however, is but lightly compiled with, as it shows, the fact that only about twenty counties out of 100 have provided themselves with the required apparatus. Professor Stimpson says that he has found as many as six out of eight wagon scales in a county to be defective.
Last year, Brown county required the services of the state sealer, but this year they have decided that it is more convenient to own their own test weights, and they now have a complete set of them in Professor Stimpson's office awaiting inspection.

The ten Jayhawks who left last night for Lincoln are going to try to show better basketball against the Cornhuskers than they did against Washburn Wednesday night. In fact, a much better shot from the end will be as lop-sided as the one which Hamilton's men handed the Ichabods.

The week has been broken up for the Kansans and no regular practices could be staged. Monday was the only time the Varsity had the control of the gym for practice. Tuesday was the victim wear night. Tuesday night signal practice was held on the Haskell court. Wednesday night Washburn offered them a good practice game and last night they left for New York to play tomorrow will guidance be of the same class as the Ames games last week.
LINEUP STILL IN AIR
Hamilton ten took men with him for use in the two games and as has been the case so far this season, he does not know who will get the fracas, Kowler, playing his first. Varsity game Winnings night, showed good form and proved the point winner of the game. He will be given a chance to score a few on the Cornhuskers tonight. The probable lineup for the opening game will be the same as that which started the home games.
Nebraska has three veterans on its team this year and the reports are that they have hit their stride afresh. It will be a case of the mudget Kansans facing Rutherford, Shields and other football players of such size whom the northern coaches place on their team.
LINEUP STILL IN AIR
No guess on the outcome would be offered by Coach Hamilton before he left yesterday. His only remark was to the effect that Kamaru Singh would, "should I win, but if they 'went up in the air' he did not know what would happen.
CHRISTIANITY SOCIALIZED
The Better Elements of All Ancient Religions, Says Wilcox
That Christianity is a cosmopolitan religion and owed much of its breadth to ancient Greek thought is the opinion of A. M. Wileos, professor of Greek in the University of Michigan, that Christianity is becoming thoroughly socialized, and that in so doing it works back to the Greek philosophy of life.
In Christianity we find represented the water worship of Egypt, the earth cult of the Phrygians, the air worship of Syria and the fire worship of Babylon. The baptismal organism were transferred to or rather transformed into the Christian religion. The Greeks conceived of the possibility of purification or purging of the soul and the hope of immortality. The Christian was a public duty to a personal obligation. All of these things are vital parts of Christianity today.
Christianity, he says, did not spring. Minerva like, full blown from the heart of ancient Judah. It is not a account of wisdom but a account of beliefs. In this evolution other religions have played no small part.
After the first stage of Caesarism and the fall of the republic, the state religion of Rome declined. Then, owing to economic and commercial relations of Rome with the east and west, other religions gained a foothold.
The Zoellner String Quartet played Professor Skilton's new Indian Dances for the first time on New Years' Eve at Boston, before the Harvard Musical Association. Professor Hamilton Macdougall, head of the music department at Wellesley College, was present and wrote about them to Professor Skilton as follows:
Before the recognition of Christianity, Christianity and the state religion of Rome, swept along side by side; and in spite of all the opposition, they were rarely the same moral, and intellectual plane.
"The Zoellners played your two quartets to about 250 people, ladies and gentlemen well known in musical and college circles—a fine audience and a representative one. The event were very well attended the second one even better than the first; I was inclined to like the first one better, but very likely the popular verdict was the juster one. At any rate you have made me feel good and colored. I hope they will be played everywhere, I congratulate you warmly on them."

[If We Consents We Will Have a K. C, A. C. Track Meet
IT IS UP TO DR. REILLY
Soon
If Dr. J. A. Reilly says yes, the Jayhawkers will meet the Kansas City Athletic Club in track the first week of the second semester. On his way to Lincoln for the Corinthians basketball games, he will play in Kansas City a few hours in advance of the squand to see if he could schedule the event.
In case he does not get the meet with the Kannas Citians he will schedule one with Washburn or Bill Hargis' Eporia Normalorms. The team has had to have been taken to get either school until Reilly shall accept or refuse.
CHANCE FOR NEW MEN
With a track meet only two weeks off the prospects for track do not boom up as bright as they would for a meet at a later date. So far the tracksters have not trained down to regular form for their events and they will have a hard time getting into good shape in the two remaining weeks to land berths on the squad was never quite as good as it is at the present time.
The pole vaulters have been handicapped of late by lack of a large mat to light on. A new mat had to be ordered but it has not arrived and the vaulters can do little until it arrives. The vaulters have been regular but so far have not shown any great form or made any records in their events.
The distances and middle-distances are sought after more than the field events. Some twenty runners workout every afternoon and some good players have a present outlook of this section of the squad shows that no man that has run this year or last is near sure of his place. Few novices are out in spite of the unusual opportunity they have in this department of athletics.
The lack of pep among the track men has caused Coach Patterson considerable worry of late. He has made every effort to get out the old and new men and keep them at work but has been the great success up to the present time.
WHERE'S THE PEP?
"I do not understand the attitude these men take in regard to track," said Coach Patterson last night. "If a track man is to make a success of his work he has to enter it with all his heart and work steady. This business of working twice a week does not do much good. An indifferent attitude is very detrimental to the team's success.
"We need more men out for track without a doubt. If any student knows of anyone in the University who can do the least thing in the line up, he should try to truss him best to make the squad, he should report the man to either Hamilton or me. We will look him up and try to get him out for practice. It is up to the students to get the track scars "job."

Much has been saved to the people of Kansas through the University's work in the inspection of weights and measures.
Many resources of Kansas have been developed as a result of the geological survey of the coal, lead, zinc, oil, gas, building stone and clays of the state conducted by the University. All but three of the Kansas counties are represented in the student body of the University.
FOOTBALL SQUAD TO PLAY BASKETBALL WITH AN OVAL
Full utilization of school property and the development of the civic center plan are among the things brought into play by the Extension Division of the University.
Work on the spring football training season will be started soon. Coach Herman S. Olcott has outlined a stiff schedule for the 1916 Kansas
The work will start with a basketball league, in which the players will use a football instead of a basketball. This, the coach belongs, will enable the players to handle the award pass with more safety new falls.
From this the players will turn their attention to a strenuous spring football practice with regular scrimmages. Mines would little to be lost in developing a formidable eleven for the big game with Illinois on October 7.

TRACK PRACTICE STARTED
Preliminary Prospects for a Successful Season Seem Very Good
Track practice has begun in earnest. Coach Hamilton has charge of the sprinters and hurdlers. He oversees the 100m, by Orcus, white Patterson is drilling the distance man. From 4 to 6 every afternoon a host of men can be found in the gym working out. The pressure of strong relay team are better than ever.
Oh Dear. Oh Dear!
Ellis with little practice has made the quarter mile in 57 flat. The 2 mile was covered by Stalter in 10:44 with ease. Both Grady and Sproul have been running the half-mile inside the half-mile in 2:11. This shows the caliber of the work that is being done this early in the season.
