WERE IMITATORS OF QUANTRELL?
OR WERE THEY STUDENTS ON A CELEBRATION.
Outing Party Arouses Tonganoxie and Vicinity by Fake Convict Chase.
Not since the raids of Quantrell has there been such excitement in the usually quiet domiciles of the people on the road from Tonganoxie to Lawrence, as there was last Sunday night. Was it Barney Oldfield that traversed this road Sunday night? Was it a combination between an automobile and a comet? Or what was it? These are the questions that are perplexing the minds of the farmers who reside between these two towns. This they do know about it: The machine, or whatever it was, contained five specimens of the genus homo, and it continually emitted bottles, the labels of which had printed on them some German name and the word "Milwaukee." Some of these people also stated that they heard the strains of some song that sounded suspiciously like a K. U. song as the thing whizzed by.
But the constable has another version of this strange incident. He received a telephone call from some of the neighbors about three miles down the road that an automobile had run amuck and at the rate it was going it would be at his house in about a minute. The constable, impelled by a strong sense of duty did not even stop to put on the conventional amount of raiment, but snatched up a lantern and hurried out to the road. He saw in the distance the lights of the automobile, for such it was. He stood in the middle of the road and waved his lantern. The reckless motorists came to a stop.
"Get out of the road you mut," the driver said. "We are officers from Leavenworth, disguised as students. Diamond Dick broke jail last night and we're after him. Have you seen him pass thi way?"
MAKES A SPEED RECORD.
The sheriff realized his mistake, apologized and told them to hurry on. Five students of the University who motored from Tonganoxie Sunday night were asked if they had seen these dare-devil motorists, but strange to say not one of them caught a glimpse of them. So the mystery still remains.
Harold Smith Wrote 85 Words a Minute.
Harold Smith, the typewriting expert, who took sixth place in the speed contest held in New York, at the Madison Square Garden last week, returned to the University yesterday. He was a freshman in the college last year
First place in the writing contest was taken by J. L. Hoyt of Kansas City, who wrote 94 words a minute for half an hour. Mr. Smith's record was 85 words.
Found New Fossil Remains.
H. T. Martin, assistant curator of paleontology, is studying and placing on exhibition in the museum many new and interesting fossils, which he proceeded in Trego and Gove counties, Kansas, during the past summer. Several of these fossils represent parts of mammals that are absolutely new to science. Mr. Martin found parts of the Familia Protophyraena, which had never before been collected. When these are constructed they will make a valuable addition to the fossil collection.
Freshmen Medics Elect.
The freshman medie class elected officers yesterday on the fourth ballot. Four candidates were put forward for president. The following men were elected. President, Paul Curtis; vice-president, Ralph Maxwell; secretary, Edna Wallis; treasurer, Linden Greene.

COLLEGE GIRL'S TRAINING
From the Boston Traveler.
If Hortense Vere de Vere, petite, pretty, 22 and having shoved up the sleeve of her athletic sweater a diploma from Wellesley, and Mary Casey, 42, fat and having in her husky biceps the meat of twenty years of housework, should start simultaneously to scrub the floor of the municipal court corridor, for instance. Hortense would draw the crowd, but the wise would lay their wagers on Mary.
A college education does not unfit a girl for a life work or for work in the house. Oh, dear, not! But the little girl with the marec and the knowledge of Schopenhauer ought not to expect that she can come home to the old place and give grandma any odds on the making of doughnuts.
The Wellesley College News, in its latest number, takes up the issue of the value to a girl in actual, material things, of a college education. The editors of the News feel, they say, that silence has become a guilty admission. They say in part:
"On the whole, we are quite able to 'hang a curtain' and 'get a dinner.' There are other ways of acquiring such knowledge than through courses in domestic science, dressmaking and the like. The girl in the ordinary home is brought up to them. She may back a knowledge of food values, but she is not the ignorant and helpless creature of magazine creation.
"As for the girl who has lacked this home training, it is not amiss to ask whether she is not some what better off after four years of college training than the society girl at home, who is as equally ignorant of domestic cares and quite desirious of interesting herself in them. The college girl is at least 'dissatisfied,' and wants to learn—even 'the young person of 22,' previously referred to, seems to have that ambition—and with the balance and common sense which she should have gained through the years of mental discipline at college, her success should not be far off—for mental discipline and common sense have a lot to do with breadmaking.
KISS THE,BABY CARRIAGE.
And Not My Baby, Says Dr Hall.
Dr. W. S. Hall, of Northwestern University, in a short talk after his address on "Sexual Hygiene," last Thursday night in Snow hall, said: "The public drinking cup should be abolished in all states, as it is one of the worst breeders of disease.The roller towel should also be prohibited from public use. Never wipe your face on the soiled portion of such a towel. The kissing of babies by strangers is another thing that should be stopped. If a stranger tried to kiss my baby I would stop him and tell him to kiss the baby carriage."
The state alone is not the only contributor to the University library. The Kappa Alpha Theta sorority added another collection of valuable books to the library stacks this summer. With the interest from the May Sexton Agnew Memorial book fund they purchased the memorial edition of George Meredith. Sixteen volumes have already been received. There are to be thirty volumes when the set is complete.
Sorority Gives Books to Library.
Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the State Board of Health came to Lawrence Saturday to see the Kansas-Washburn football game. Warren Crumbine, son of Doctor Crumbine, is the Washburn quarterback.
May Sexton Agnew, a member of the Lawrence chapter, died in the Philippine Islands. Her sorority sisters, unable to send flowers, collected a memorial fund of $500 which, has been invested and the interest is used for purchasing books for the University library.

BEATTY TO NEW YORK.
His Colleagues Gave Him a Letter of Recommendation.
When Jerome G. Beatty, who addressed the sophomore class in reporting Friday, took a notion that he would like to quit his job on the Kansas City Star and go to New York to see what the newspaper game is like in the East, he asked his chief in the Star office for a letter of recommendation. All the bright young newspaper men who go from Kansas City to New York carry letters of recommendation. Mr. Beatty's chief said he would be glad to give him one and a few hours later placed it on his desk. The letter, signed by "The Times Staff," on which Mr. Beatty bases his hopes of a job in New
"TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: This will introduce Mr. Jerome Beatty, for some time in the employ of the Star. He has been generally satisfactory, in a way, considering that he has always done his best according to his ability. That he is no longer connected with the Star is due not to any lack of industry, but rather to an unfortunate mental equipment. While he seems eager enough to do newspaper work, he probably could be of more purpose in other directions, such as driving a laundry or milk wagon.
"In going, he has our heartiest God speed."
Of course Mr. Beatty has other letters of the usual kind, but he prizes the one given him by The Times staff as showing a deeper appreciation of his work in Kansas City than the rest indicate.
SEAT SALE TO BE LARGER.
Inquiries Indicate Increased Attendance at Thanksgiving Game.
The advance sale of reserved seats for the Thanksgiving day game probably will be larger by several thousand dollars than heretofore. Manager Lansdon has already been asked for a block of 1,000 reserves for the Kansas University Alumni Association of Kansas City. Ralph Spotts, the cheer leader, has also asked for a reserve of 500 seats for his rooters and inquiries are already coming in at the general managers office for information about the reserved seats.
