MOVIE CAYUSE TAKES WINGS AND FLIES And Ward Hatcher Gets a Spill.
Heartless men are these movie directors, is the opinion of Ward Hatcher, well known in K. U. dramatic circles as the man who can make a film like "The Walrus" Walter Hawkevort, sophomore College. These men base their opinion on a meeting they had last summer wheg they struck Romaine Fielding, director of the Lubin Film Producing company in Colorado Springs for a job.
Havekorat never had had any experience in riding and decided his Injury Report.
"What can you do?" was the first thing Romaine asked the two K. U. men. Hatcher didn't know they were putting on an Indian picture and so answered anything. Indian, make-up given a spotted pony, told to go to the top of a hill, ride down as fast as he could, and fall off when he reached a certain place. The job-hunter shivered but did as bidden. The pony laid down, flew down the hill. Hatcher fell off and tuckily no bones were broken.
"I held that job for one week," Havekorten says, "despite the fact that the sun burned blisters on my body, which was barely protected by a thin coat of red paint. The next week I appeared in the pioneer wagons to be attacked by the Indians."
The discussion swung around to Rudyard Kipling in a public speaking class the other morning. The morning. The professor remarked: "Kipling was born in India, his parents were English, and he showed good sense by marrying an American." Many other Englishmen and Irishmen have rowed in the same boat.
Helen Ruhlandt, sophomore College, will go to her home in Osawatomie, Friday. She says that she will bring back some pure cream and her friend to an old-fashioned strawberry short cake when she returns.
John Henry Bauerlein, freshman College, is trying to coin a new word to replace "Hello." He thinks that the continual hello, he becomes monotonous, especially between morn-classes.
On your daily trip down town Tuesday afternoon did you stop to watch the men moving the big safe into the second floor of the Stubba building? It weighs 7,000 pounds.
"ENOUGH," CRIES STEVA
Girly Name Worked For Awish, But Too Much is Too Much
Here's one joke that has gone quite far enough. Stewart McGraw, senior engineer, is as masculine as any engineering boot, a leather shirt, and a slouch hat. Nevertheless he is called "Steva," and all because he learned to crochet just to show a girl that man fashion was real in the art of fancy work as a woman.
"Steva" was not especially irritated over the new name he had suddenly acquired, but, when he began to re-examine it, he addressed to Miss Steva McGraw, his masculine feelings were hurt. Advertisements of dress forms, false hair, household draperies, dress goods, and various other things, not to be made by the engineer, convinced Steva that the make is getting old and thusome.
GIRLS DESIGN OWN GOWNS
Best Dresses Worn at Pron Made in Wee Small Hours of Morning
Pink gowns, blue gowns, yellow green, orange, white, cream, lavender and rose gowns—all pretty, all stylish, all become, and every one made by the wearer. No, not every piece of them. Proportion of them. And lots of their creators never had a course in sewing.
That pretty, fluffy white dress of net, high-waisted, and trimmed with pink chiffon, worn by the graceful, beautiful woman, just come from some French dress-maker. But she sat up a couple of nights until 11:30 working on it, and finished it easily the next morning. And what is more, it didn't cost a dollar to create her chine creation one of her friends wore, and it looked just as pretty.
You probably noticed that orange-yellow creation of crepe de chine? It was one of the swellest dresses on the floor, and its owner, who looked like a very pretty Mrs. Vernon Castle, with her hair fixed the latest way, and it was so much better than mits that her mother helped her just a little with some of the seams and the hemming, but it was her own idea and her own pattern.
The dainty blue mull with the ruffles and the old-fashioned quaint rounded neck was the product of two afternoons of work. And the amateur dressmaker didn't have to cut any classes, either, to make it. Her own skirt, made from velvet, heard about it, for it was the first party dress she had ever tackled.
that thin white vole with the full, accordian-plaited skirt looks as though it had come out of Emery Bird's or Innes' most expensive collection. And it cost only $6 and two days of hard work on the part of its wearer. And not content with make-up and glittering sisters with theirs, hanging them, hemming them and laying in the gathers.
The tall, dark-haired girl with her hair fixed low on her neck certainly didn't make that dress, did she? You ask her, though, and she will tell you that it took her two days to put that dress together. To her side, beaded bands over her shoulders and the high-waisted band above the full skirt.
No breath of shop or modiate about these—these, and many others at the Prom. Purely home-made they were, but when she touched the fingers of the girls themselves.
Whereupon with much dignity Miss Co-ead, the cause of this sudden and unusual activity on the part of my friend was told, "My physical condition was never better; my friend here was merely demonstrating that to pour cold water on the wrist would cool uncomfortable state of warmness."
The flying waiters at Lee's, with handkerchiefs, damp towels, glasses of water, and lively tongues rushed up to the booth where sat two K. U. women yielding to the lure of fresh strawberries and ice cream.
BILL TOO BIG FOR HER POCKET-BOOK
The waiter wilted and having nothing else to do punched the ticket for him.
"Has she fainted?"
The girl with the pocket-book faint ed immediately.
Can you imagine how a student feels with fifteen hundred million dead typhoid bugs circulating in his system? Well, after making three trips to the basement of the Museum and receiving a full size insulation, we are supposed to pack around for three long years. So far over 1,000,000,000,000 germs have been distributed among the students on the Hill.

Department of Chemistry Makes Money by Supplying Canned Ozone to Lecturers
"Nothing comes out of nothing," wrote old man Perseus many years ago. And people believe him to this day. Still the University is able to take a handful of air and transfer it money to help a depleted treasury."
About one hundred pounds of this canned air, which becomes a liquid on sufficient pressure, are made by the department of chemistry each week. Eighty pounds of this is sold at $1 a pound and from the proceeds the company is able to pay all expenses of production and have money left over.
The liquid air shipped from the University is used for demonstration purposes only. So far it is too expensive to be put on any practical equipment in a university classroom the air just to show what can be done with it. It might serve as a substitute for ice, but only the idle rich could afford to pay a dollar a pound when the same amount of ice would be given as gas and less.
There must be a reason why so many students drop into Wilson's Drug Store for their refreshments. They try to please everybody...Adv.
Robbed by its young rival, the Lawrence Country Club, the Oread Golf Club finds itself facing a lack of material to make up a team to compete in the State Golf Tournament which is to be held on Wednesday. According to Prof. M. W., Sterling there is little chance that the Oread Club will send a team.
OREAD GOLFERS WON'T GO
Lack of Material Will Keep Club Out of State Tournament
Two years ago this organization won the tournament and with it the state championship and last year team was the semifinal team as well the semi-final medals.
The Wichita Club is making elaborate plans to entertain the visiting players this year and expect the tour to be even more widely attended than ever before.

A COLLEGE education should help you to know a good man when you see him," said William James, and it should not only help you to know a good man, but to know a good book, to know a good play or to know a good piece of music.
A University situated in a small town like Lawrence has many advantages over the University in a city. But it has some disadvantages. The principal one that is pointed out is that K.U. students have not the opportunity to see good plays or hear good music as have our future rivals at Columbia University, Yale, or Harvard.

The phrase, "Pop Concert" has by usage been entered into the dictionary. It gained its favor from the theory that a high-class concert at popular prices would be as successful as a high-class concert at prohibitive prices. In other words, 1,000 persons at 50 cents equal 100 persons at $5.
It is a part of a man or woman's education to hear these world's masterpieces.
The concert week after next will be one of those "Pop Concerts."
