The descent of the hill on a bobsled does not take long and is an exhilarating experience; but it is not exhilarating to reflect that in the same time and probably at the same time one may be sliding from a grade I to a grade III—or lower.
The appropriation bill is now before the Legislature. There was some talk, before the session began, of disposing of the regular appropriations for state institutions early on the program, as a means of facilitating discussion on other legislation that would involve the expenditure of state funds; but it is likely that the educational appropriations will wait till the end of the session as usual. This probably will not affect the schools unfavorably. The more careful consideration the legislators devote to the educational situation, the more likely the schools are to get what they need to carry on their work.
A queer thing about the holiday of the School of Engineering is that the date has not yet been set. It would seem that the date would be the first thing to be decided.
The news that applications from many men of experience in the game have been received at the University for the position of football coach next year will be welcomed by the students who have become apprehensive over the situation. It appears that despite the general fear to the contrary there is an abundance of good material to choose from. While the coaches of most experience and renown throughout the country doubtless already have been chosen for positions next year, many good men are still seeking places; nor is it likely that there ever will be as many coaching positions as there are men competent to turn out creditable teams.
"Far above the golden valley." The words have a new meaning when one lives in the valley and has to try to slide uphill to classes these slippery days.
Representative Keene's bill may be called an attempt to apply the commission form of government to state schools. It would place the administration of higher education in Kansas in
the hands of a small board. The friction which arises from having three separate state schools probably would not be lessened if the plan were carried into effect. The contest would be made before the state administrative board instead of the Legislature as at present.
The University basket ball team has met the representatives of two other schools, one a conference team. In all the games the opponents showed considerable skill but were easily outclassed by the Jayhawkers. It is dangerous to venture any predictions on what the team can do later in the season, but at least it can be said that the outlook is encouraging for another championship season.
According to a recently published report, George Washington University, of Washington, D.C., has a total of 1,207 students, one-fourth of whom are registered in the law department.

THIRTEEN WAYS TO COOK AN EGG.
A Little Story of Domestic Science.
--knew how I liked my eggs, soft-boiled, but didn't seem sure of precisely how soft or hard they should be. "No matter," said I, "just so they are not too hard." "About so hard as blanc mange?" she queried. I thought they should be about so hard.
So Inez and I were married.
So much for details. It seems a dream to me now—that short but ecstatic hymonecy, and the triumphal return home—to our home. It was to be our only—we had carefully planned that. No servants were to interfere with our Utopia; they were to be used only when absolutely necessary. For Inez enjoyed ordinary house work. She had graduated in Domestic Science—a Bachelor of Arts in Domestic Science was the degree that she held, I think; and to be accurate, I must say that she still holds it.
We rose at eight on the first morning of our housekeeping. I trust you will grant me the free use of the word rise. Old married people get up; but one would hardly be so impetuous as to speak thus of a bride and groom. Let me repeat, we rose at eight. I was due at the office at nine. Twenty minutes would be ample time to prepare my simple breakfast, Inez said. It is simple and never varies; two soft-boiled eggs, toast and coffee. She

should be about so hard.
I tried to give assistance, but my services were scorned, so I read the morning paper on the front porch and waited for the call. I became engrossed in the market reports and forgot all about breakfast for a time. When I did entirely involuntarily look at my watch, I received a shock; it was eight-fifty. I could not possibly reach the office before half past nine. I flew to the kitchen. Inez very plainly, almost obtrusively, wore a look of triumph. "It's almost done," she exclaimed. With the forbearance and courage of the average groom, I congratulated her warmly. "I've had the worst luck," she continued. "The first egg I broke while I was measuring it." "While you were measuring it!"—I all but showed surprise. "Yes," she replied; "one must measure every egg, for upon its size depends the length of time required to cook it." I glanced about on the table; there was the measuring tape; there was also a thermometer and a pair of tiny scales—for troy weight, I thought. "You see," Inez continued, "boiling an egg is not a simple matter, as most people think. There are thirteen ways to boil an egg." I made some rapid calculations; I knew several; hard, soft and medium; in sea water and fresh water; with fire and, without. They were all the methods I could recall. I tried to be polite and not look worried; it was difficult for time was flying. Inez might be a conjurer with an egg; she was not with a watch, I knew. But she sweetly continued: "First of all you must measure and weigh the egg, and then consult this table, which tells you how long to cook it and at what temperature to have it as desired." She produced a large table which would have been Greek to me if I had not studied Greek in prep. school; so it was Sanscrit. "The provoking thing is that I forgot how to work the table and had to spend a half hour figuring it out, but I remembered finally. You see," she said convincingly running her finger down and up and across columns of figures, "here is one of your eggs; it should be cooked four minutes at at seventy; here is the other one; it should be cooked four minutes and fifteen seconds at seventy. I should judge seventy to be enough, from the way you like your eggs." I was tempted to remark that two would be enought, if I could get them soft-boiled at once; I might even have said it, but a scream from Inez distracted me entirely. She had looked at a watch and had rushed to the eggs, after laying the watch on the table. I glanced at the watch; it was a stop watch; it registered three minutes and fifty-five seconds. I turned to Inez; she was almost in tears.
"It's just too awful," she answered to my look of inquiry, "I have forgotten which egg is to be cooked the longer! It's too awful! What shall I do?"
"Split the difference," I suggested, as I fished out the eggs. "The watch now registers four minutes and eight seconds; I'll take my chances." I proceeded to breakfast, sat down at the table, grabbed an egg and was about to decapitate it when Inec came in, accompanied by a deluge. It seems she had forgotten to make the coffee and toast, in her excitement over the eggs. I expressed my disgust by continuing the slaughter of the egg. Then I turned to Inez. "How hot did you heat this specimen?" I asked. "To seventy degrees," she replied. "Let me see your thermometer," I demanded. It was as I had expected. The thermometer should have been Centigrade; it was Fahrenheit. That egg was hardly comfortably warm—for an egg. I snatched my hat and departed. I had no desire to test the companion egg; it seemed useless.
I reached the office at nine forty-five. Confusion reigned. My employer met me with invective and wild eyes. That clerk Jillson had been on time; the safe, too, had opened on time. Jillson had departed before he had finished his day's work and by a peculiar coincidence, the contents of the safe were missing; not much, but enough. I was plainly not to be trusted; at least my employer thought so. I was fired—not discharged, for no leniency was shown. Simply fired.

er. Inez is teaching Domestic Science in her Alma Mater. I wish her success and am sure she will succeed, for her knowledge of the subject is appalling. Sometimes I prepare my own breakfast. Perhaps it is better so.
