FACULTY FEAR JUNIOR ANNUAL

Book Are Too Strong.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, May Faculty mem
bers in the State University of Iowa
are making attempts to get advance
copies of the Hawkeye, the junior an
nual for fear of the jokes which 1t Is
alleged are in the book. Rumors that
the faculty members are roasted" to
finish have been circulated among
the students, and the professors immc-
diately got wind of something unusual
in the contents of the book. Suspicious
led to an investigation, which showed
that no faculty censor had seen the
proofs of the annual and then the still
hunt began.
| The members of the faculty heard of
the action of the Drake professors, In
having two pages of "The Quax" cut
out of the book before 1t could be cir
culated, and in case the jokes are too
strong the university professors con-
template similar discipline.

Comparatively few of the Ameri-
can housewives are familiar with
the various portions of the beef car
cass. With the majority the demand
Of the butcher is for a good roast"
"a good beef steaf,'' or "a boiling piece
or pot roast" They take what the
butcher gives them and pay the price
demanded with little or no knowledge
as to the comparative value Of the cut
purchased. All are familiar with the
fact that the loin and ribs are the
best part of the carcass and it is per-
haps for this reason that fully 80 per
cent of the demand is for cuts from
the loin or ribs. This part of the
cent of the whole, and thus the great
bulk of the demand is for the smallest
reason why the cuts from the loin and
ribs cost from two to five times more
than cuts from tany other part of the
beef With the. supply of cattle de-
creasing and the demand for beef in

American housewife must educate her
self regarding this subject and be able
to make her purchases to fit her pock-
tbook, and at the same time secure
good edible meat containing as much,
or more, nutriment as the more ex-
pensive cuts The following simple

Oh. simply that the young people of

Will somebody have to be killed be-
fore young people begin to realize that
life-endangering recklessness is no
more permissible at wedding than
anywhere else?
Or will even that not be lesson
enough?
Many girls who work in stores or
offices come home and wear their Of
flee garb-shirtwaist or shirtwaist suit
all the evening.
l think that's a bad plan
The best way to prepare for the next
days work is to get as far away from
the office atmosphere as you possibly
can-see different people, talk and
think mostly about different things and
even wear different clothes.
Of course it would be absurd for the
average working girl to dress for din
ner. I'm not advising that.
My suggestion is that any girl who
can possibly afford it have some sim
pie pretty house gown-not kimono
or distinct negligee-that she can
quickly slip into as soon as she gets
home from work, and unless she is
going out or entertaining formally may
wear all the evening.
Such a gown need cost but little,
