.RAH! RAH! BOYS MUST
PAY COLLEGE DEBTS
A Ruling of the v. of A. Touching FL
nancia Affairs Of Graduates.

4 number of new rules for the gov
cTnmcnt Of the students of the Uni
versity of Arizona were passed at the
meeting of the board Of regents in Tue
son. The students in the preparatory
department. it is ruled, will be ordered
to wear their uniforms throughout the
week. Another rule. touching upon the
weakness of some college boys TO grad
uate and leave the scene of their
schooling without paying their bills,
stipulates that no degree will be con-
fcrred on graduating students who are
known to have outstanding debts of a
character to cast reflections either up
on their character, or upon the univer-
sity.
The reason for the establishment of
the first rule bearing on the wearing
of uniforms is to cause respect for the
uniform. and to have the students re-
cognized when about town, which is
certain to give the institution adver-
Using and publicity that ought To re-
suit i'm an increase of the student body.
An altogether new rule was that
adopted concerning the payment of
debts before graduation, and ii has
been authOritativcly stated that it will
be enforced on every occasion by the
board of regents. 1t is declared that
where it is known that students have
unpaid bills of a character tina. might
tend to reflect on their good names. or
be injurious TO the high standing of
the university as an institution Of
learning and morality. such students
shall not receive their degrees until the
claims of their creditors are liquidatcd.
DR. Wilde, the president of the uni
vcrsity, has been authorized to procure
a pool table to be placed in one of the
buildings for the use of the
students, the object being To furnish
on the grounds, and make
the excuse for going down town for
these amusements impossible.

day, but tomorrow the growers want
everything to close, including the groc-
cries. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon a
success had been had that far outstrip-

in charge Of the petition. and it is
probable that the associations will sue

from two to six inches long. They
are very peculiar in appearance and
are sometimes called Praying Mantis.
Soothsayers and the Prophet Bugs
1t Ia said the Chinese tell their for
tunes from the actions Of the insects.
The name Praying Mantis comes from
the fact that the insects hold their two
front legs. which are very short, in a
praying position. and often work them
rapidly back and forth. The most
peculiar parts OF the bug are its eyes
and long neck. The eyes are like
miniature shoe buttons on the outside
Of the insects head. and in proportion
to its size are very large The neck
shoots out from the body and forms
about one-third the length of the bug,
ranging from one to two inches. The
mantis can fly. has green wings,
brown glossy back and long feelers
protruding from its head. All to-
gether 1t is not a friendly looking
beast. Recently. 1t Is said. the owners

Favorlte Dishes.

A woman who enjoys having
friends to lunch or dinner has the
happy faculty of hitting on just the
things her guests enjoy eating. For
some years she has made 1t q point
to jot down the favorite dishes of this
friend or that in a tiny note book in
her desk. When her cousin Molly is
coming to lunch she looks up her
name, and there finds recorded that
the aforesaid Molly is particularly
fond of custard desserts of any kind;
clam is her favorite soup. and In
meats she dotes on anything cooked
en- casserole. With these hints
spread before her the matter of plan
ming a meal is considerably simpIi-
fed
Another friend has often said she
never tastes such pies as are served
by her hostess; another likes tomatoes
in any form, and still another prefers
fish to meat.
The guests little know that they
themselves have at some time given
the hint as to their likings.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The Tenodera
Sinensis or Chinese Mantis Is In our
midst nowadays and the insect ex-

ences on Logan Square have been
kept busy recently answering ques-
tons as to what the queer-looking In
sects are and where they come from.
Philadelphia is about the only
American city that is the home of
the Chinese Mantis About 10 years
ago q number of the insects were
brought to this city from China on
some plants that had been imported
by the Meehan Nurseries. In German
town. Gradually the mantis spread
through Germantown, and are now
rather abundant north OF Market
street. That they will In time spread

Sciences. has no sting. but has a rath-
er large mouth and will bite II an

living In Germantown became terrified
when one of the insects flew against
her arm. She declared that the bug
stung her and that her arm was bad

Not day has passed that several
persons with the insects in bottles
have not come to the Academy to
have their pets examined. The man
