Football Team.

Lawrence, Kan, Dec. 20.=The Uni
versity of Kansas athletic board reach
ed decision in the matter of grant
ing football ks here after a dis
cussion lasting three weeks. THE
trouble mainly was due to the question
of whether or not Ahrens, the stellar
center, deserved a letter. At the final
meeting the veteran center was re-
fused the reward of merit
1t seems that Ahrens enrolled in the
law school this fall but never attend
ed classes Owing to peculiar meth
Cd of handling the enrolment cards
between the dean and instructors il
was supposed that Ahrens was attend
ing his classes and because no re-
ports had been given to Dean Green
reporting failing work the athlete was
allowed to play under the presum Dtion
that he was doing good work. His
name headed the eligibility list sent
to the other Missouri valley schools.
Ahrens enrolled all right but never
turned his cards into the hands Of
instructors.
At the meeting a motion to notify
The other conference schools Of the
action of the athletic board in refus-
ing the letter was passed. An apology

ing plant was not running to it's full
capacity I couldn't find a market for
my products. Then l suggested that
we undertake to run our plant on full
capacity and sell the surplus products
in foreign markets at less than the
cost of production Every one of my
associates opposed me. I had my ex-
pertS figure out how much it would
add to the cost of operating the plant
if we increased this production % per
cent. The figures showed that we
could increase the production % per
cent at an increased cost of only about
per cent On this basis I sent a
man to Europe who sold -incandescent
lamps there at a price less than the
cost of production in Europe. BY do

wages American consumers were not
injured in the slightest and I was en-
abled to employ 25 per cent more men
and get rid of a surplus product by
dumping it upon the foreign market"

The subject was School Improvement Work" |" Miss Higgins first quoted some statistics to show how Alabama stood in educa- tional affairs. She said that in spite of the fact that the schools of the state are sadly handicapped by lack of funds for improvement work, Alabama exceled every other southern state except one in this kind of work Miss Higgins said that the most effective improvement work is done by the local associations, one of which should be in every school Not only should the pupils but also the parents be interested in the work. The buildings and grounds should all be made neat, comfortable and attractive. Miss Higgins then went on to tell something of the way the organizations can to eff fected and of the necessity Of keeping alive interest in such associations. The school improvement movement is fast spreading over the whole country and the teachers of Alabama are capable of doing much to improve conditions in their midst

See Is a pure and chaste man. It was not sin ful for us to kiss. We had the true light. We were above sin and safe from tempta- ton. Nothing we could do would be wrong.''
 ''I saw a new light and feeling was in me as though there was something for me to do to better myself and better the world at large. It was a feeling which was like walking on cloud. That feel ing was absolute life,''
 Mrs. Bridges admitted also that she ire ouently visited the temple" of absolute life. where See made his home. on nights while her husband was away from Chi cago. She said also that she had made contribution of S1oo0 and $500, respectively, to See in the cause of absolute life.
