STUDENTS CONSUME MUCH COCA COLA
228,348 GLASSES DRUNK SINCE LAST FALL.
Quiz Week Sees Increase in Sale
—Government Report Says
That it is Dangerous.
During the school year just closing, the students of the University have consumed in the neighborhood of 228,648 glasses of the great stimulant Coco-Cola.
The secret of this gigantic sale of this drink seems to be the fact, that the students in their haste, call for the first drink which occurs to them—namely 'coke.' In one of the local soda dispensaries last week, out of 43 students who came in for a "cool, refreshing, invigorating drink," over 50 per cent asked for coco-cola. During quiz week late this winter, the sale of this popular drink increased at student resorts forty per cent. The week following it resumed its regular consumption showing that there is a certain belief among students that "coke" will rejuvenate their "sleepy" nerves; and thus keep them awake, so that their cramming may continue into the 'wee sma' hours of the morning.
If the glasses containing the coco-cola used since last September were stood on their base so that the edges touched, the glasses would extend, over halfway to Baldwin, a distance of 16 miles.
Each glass of 'eoke' contain from 2 to 3 grains of caffeine two or three times the amount of a therapentic dose. It also has a little alcohol, but is mostly composed of sugar. The attorney for the United States government in his report says: "Coco cola should be classified as a dangerous medicinal compound which will originate, engender, cultivate, and inflame the desire for stimulants, opiates and narcotics."
These figures were secured through an inquiry into the amount of eoco cola used by the local "jerkers" and then learning what per cent of the trade was student trade. Some merchants said that their trade was practically all students, others two-fifths to four-fifths. A general average was taken and the above conclusions reached.

WAR ON FRUIT BUGS.
Prof. Hunter Aids Farmers in Spraying Trees.
Prof. S. J. Hunter who has already done much for the agricultural classes of the state in destroying harmful insects and diseases has been spending the past week in visiting the growers of crops with a view to directing the spraying of fruit trees this spring and thus increase the fruit yield. Prof. Hunter will direct the work but the expense incurred by the spraying process will be borne by the fruit raisers themselves. The San Jose scale, which troubles many orchard is not a disturbing element in Douglas county orchards, but the apple scab and the coddling moth must be treated when the apple blossoms fall after maturity.
In this way the University is doing great service to the state, especially the fruit growers, at this time. With the co-operation between the University and the fruit growers, the orchards should soon be freed from all injurious pests.

RISE OF AN ALUMNUS

Brock Pemberton '07, Portrayed By W. A. White.
Watch out for your horses, the steam piano is coming!
Fine writing paper at Boughton's.
Word comes from New York that before harvest Brock Pemberton, who for four long years was the star reporter of the Gazette, is coming home to visit the folks after a year's sojourn in New York. Mr. Pemberton was when he left Emporia a year ago; easily the glass of fashion for the entire Neosho Valley from Chanute to Fort Riley, and he was the mold of form for an area beginning one hundred yards west of Bowersock's dam at Lawrence and running into the sage brush just this side of Colorado Springs. He knew whether gloves should be buckled buttoned or bound; he divined with more than human prescience what shade of necktie would whirl across our ken from Fifth Avenue. He read the Habe derasher from cover to cover, and could get up a column of men's fashions on ten minutes notice that read like a chapter from Robert W. Chambers. For with all his virtues, Brock could write. He was as good, if not the best single handed catch-as-catch-can English wrestler, the Gazette ever has seen. His theatrical notices were especially disheartening to the gentlemanly and urbane proprietor of the airdome and manager of the Opera House. And when Brock turned loose on a home talent show the office was crowded for a week with subscribers trying to get their names off the book. He was denounced in all high caste Brahmin circles of the town for his unspeakable theatrical notices and it was agreed that when he hit New York he would have a sad awakening.
Well, Brock hit New York. He worked eight or nine months on the local department of the New York Evening Mail—the brightest evening paper in New York. Then they put him on the theatrical beat. Thus have his Emporia critics been rebuked. For he has made good. The stuff that gave them pain and pause in Emporia has caught on in New York. And Brock is coming home, like Lentullus with victorious legions to Capua. Word comes from New York from a Kansas man who saw Brock on Broadway that he has a high silk hat, a cane and a suit of first night evening clothes worth going miles to see. The Retail Merchants' association should hire him for a three days' meet. He will beat the fly-men; for he will give a performance, no matter how high the wind.
Will Address Engineers.
Ray Jones of Washburn will speak before the American institute of electrical engineers at Marvin hall Wednesday evening at 7:30 p. m. The society of mechanical engineers will meet Thursday night, 7:30 p. m. at 1301 Ohio street.
