A cordial welcome will be given the alumni. The purpose of the smoker is to provide a meeting place for the old grads, to show them how to smoke properly and to offer opportunity for the seniors and faculty members to get acquainted with the former students. The wearing of a badge of welcome is being considered by the committee and staff so that, with a blue ribbon, it is quite popular among the students.

"Heredeto the old grads have been merely unobserved onlookers when they came back to visit their A'ma mater," said C. A. Randoph, president of the senior class. "This smoker is being given to show the alumni that they are welcome at the University, to provide a place where the old college pals may talk over former days, and to furnish a facultyunity for the senior and faculty members of the old students. I meet every senior will be there and show the visitors a rousing good time."

TO INVESTIGATE FLOTATION Visiting Metallurgists Gather Data on New Process for Smelting
Zinc
D. A. Lyon, chief metallurgist of the Bureau of Mines, was a visitor at the University last week. Mr. Lyon's object in coming here was to be involved in the search being done at the University of Kansas along the line of research work in flotation. Many universities have been visited by Mr. Lyon during the past few weeks where the subject of flotation is being investigated by flotationists.
--experiments in metallurgy at the University of Kansas were started about a year ago.
Professor Anderson, of Rolla School of Mines, also spent part of the past week in Lawrence discussa- tion of the department of chemistry, who are doing research work of this nature. Upon his return to Missouri Professionals expect to see their investigation in rotation at the School of Mines.
Flotation is the method of extracting zinc ore from the material called "slimes," which is now a waste in the zinc districts. The slimes are mixed with water, and small amounts of zinc are added to the solution in vivo only. After a few minutes of agitation, a froth forms on the surface of the water which contains in it most of the valuable matter in the slimes, i.e. zinc sulphides. This is skimmed off and the wortleys is found at the bottom of the vessel.

HIS NAME IS REXIX READ
AND HE KNOWS ROCK CHALK
His name is Rexie Read and he 'ot yet two years old; but he knows its "Rock Chalk" and he waves his little flag and yells it with a vim that would make Gaitskill sit up and take notice.
His father is a student in the University and Rexie's parents have taken him to see several games. Fast and Lindsay seem to have escaped his notice, but the yell leader s.a.m after his own heart.
Resie lives on the top of Mount Oread, and whenever he plays in the front yard or on the wall, he never gets up from the basement students that pass.
He promises well as a future athlete, and already he can go down town with mamma, and then run uphill on the house stretch.
