STATE ORATORS STUDYING HARD
FORTY HIGH SCHOOLS IN DEBATING LEAGUE.
The Extension Department Busy Sending Out Library Material —Championship Debate Here in May.
Begining soon forty high schools of the state will be keep busy in a debating session which will last until next May. During which time questions of importance to every community of the state will be discussed. The advisability of adopting the pending amendment to the constitution of Kansas extending the right of suffrage to women, the commission plan of government single tax, parcels post, income tax, international disarmament initiative and referendum, short ballot and popular election of United States senators are subjects the high school men will discuss.
The high schools which will debate these questions belong to the Kansas High School Debating League. The Extension department of the University of Kansas is at the head of the league and furnishes bibliographies and reference to the debating teams. Much interest has already been taken by the schools and for some time the debaters have kept Prof. R. R. Price, head of the University Extension department, busy sending references and material.
Ashland High school won the final debate last year and received the large loving cup offered by the Board of Regents of the University for the championship debating team of the state. If Ashland wins this year it will be permanent possession of the cup However the other high school of the state are getting busy early.

Wellsville Makes Application For Aid in Making Map.

Wellsville cannot afford to en gage an engineer to do the worl so several students will probably be sent there next week to do the job.

On Monday might the first College freshman five defeated the freshman Laws by the score of 14 to 6. On the same night the freshman engineers ran over the second College team to the tune of 10 to 2.

The freshman Laws came back after their previous defeat and walloped the second College team 16 to 6. These games will be played on each Monday and Thursday evenings in the gymnasium and it will require four more nights before each team has played every other team and the freshman inter-school championship is decided. There will be no game tonight.

COLD STORAGE EGGS
MUST BE STAMPED
State Board of Health Issues Orders Protecting Housewives From Bad Eggs.
No more will the Lawrence housewife have to play safe by going out on the back porch to break the eggs for breakfast. If they have been in cold storage too long she will know it because the fact will be plainly evident from the stamp on the package. Dr. S. J. Crumbine, dean of the medical school of the state University has issued the order through the state board of health that will protect all buyers of eggs in the state.
If the housewife orders "fresh eggs" and gets some bad ones, not bearing on the package the proper label, she can report the matter to Dr. Crumbine with the assurance that the offending dealer will hear something drop.
Placing Her.
If she goes with all the boys, she's a coquette. If she prefers a "steady" she couldn't get any-one else.
If she majors in Chem. on Greek she's queer. If she doesn't, she's looking for snap courses.
If she is athletic she loses her maidenly charm. If she isn't well, girls can't do very much anyhow.
If she doesn't wear a diamond, she's not engaged. If she does she's running a bluff.
If she belongs to a club, she's frivolous. If she doesn't, she couldn't get in.
If she asserts herself in class, she's strong-minded. If she doesn't, she hasn't any brains.
If she doesn't talk much, she is uninteresting. If she does, she is tiresome.
