which the new bureau of mines plans
to instruct the miners in the use Of
portable mine rescue stations with
mine rescue apparatus and first-aid-

its mission Monday morning.
It will be known as Car No. L, and
starting from Pittsburg will cover the
anthracite fields of Pennsylvania.
About November LIST Car No. 2 Is
expected to reach the bureau of mines

it will receive its full equipment. This
car will then go through southern In

Four other cars with headquarters
at Rock Springs. Wyo., Billings.
Mont. Salt Lake City. Utah. and
Knoxville, Tenn, will be turned over
to the bureau Of mines within a short
time. They will start on educational
tours within their districts. In addi-
ton to the educational work mapped
out for these cars they will be kept in
readiness to proceed at 4 moments
notice to aid In rescue work at mine
disasters.
This is the first important step

Stops long enough to enable miners
to go through training in rescue work
will be made at each mining town.
This training will be free OF cost to
the miners.

THE PASSING OF HAzING

The custom of hazing at the Uni

passed. 1t lived for few days in q
weak, helpless way; then, right in its
season, when it might have f1ourished
sick and staggering. it fell.
Hazing has been on the decline for
several years. 1t lacked student sen.
timent and support. 1t could flourish
only on popularity, and long ago it
began to be unpopular. The spirit
of new age has trodden upon it. Col
lege enthusiasm manifests itself, in
stead, in efforts for greater univer-

RAGLAN STYLE MOST USEFUL

ServiecabIe Wrap That Will Do Duty
For Any Number of Occasions.
The woman who must make one
wrap do duty for many purposes can
compromise happily this year on the
new raglan styles. They are neither
coat nor cape, but a, graceful combi'
nation of both.
One of the best looking of these
styles is called the Parsifal. It is cut
circular, with seamless shoulders
which merge into raglan sleeves. The
neck is collarless and cut slightly
rounding.
Around the neck down each side of
front and edging the sleeves are braid
ed bands of the material, stitched bias
bands or embroidered or braided trim.
mings.
The wrap is cut slightly double
breasted in front and fastens just
above the bust line and at one side
of the waist with buttons and loops.
Similar buttons are put opposite on
other side of front. -
By this arrangement when the wrap
is wished for more formal occasions
the upper part can be turned back
into one or two revers, as preferred.

THE eAG-RUSH

The neutrality-suspicious. bag-rush to
be held next Saturday afternoon is a
commendable way of settling class
rivalry.
1t seems that some climax to the
stunts" of the first days is advisable
and the bag-rush is certainly better
way than the old pole rush.
The Student Senate deserves praise
for bringing this change about and
all upper classmen should cooperate
with them in making the contest a
success
