The trouble with the two stars arose
Monday afternoon. when they left the
campus and proceeded to break the
training rules governing the conduct of
the University of Utah.
When the fellows failed to appear on
time for their daily practice on Cum

began an inquiry as to their where
abouts. An investigation revealed the
fact that the two athletes had broken
training.
Bennion Immediately asked them
about it, and upon receiving a frank
confession, ordered that the suits be
turned in. The fellows were sincerely
repentant and because Of their deep
felt regret the coach decided that per
haps the offense could be overlooked.
He gave the fellows long talk and got
from them a promise TO live strictly up
to all rules in the future. As result,

POINT OF SATURATION.
The Time When a Person Has More

We say anything is saturated when 1t

from the Latin saturare meaning to ill

capacity for absorption. 1t takes a great
deal to fill them full. Human character
parallels certain fluids in its disposition TO
absorb all it possibly can, but even to it
there comes the point of sa.uraton. when

In the big cities of the old world the

this high price. In the principal cen
tiers of offices and shops the values do
not amount much above 500 a square

recently sold for $50 a square foot and
thereby established a new high-record
value for real estate in that city.
This property is located in the heart
of the big shops and department stores.

being old and occupied by cigar store

Cured by Radioactive Ore.

From the Engineering and Mining Journal.
The remarkable effect of carnotite de-
post on the men working on il is thus
described by a western paper: "One pc
culiar effect of the presence of uranium
oxide is observed in the men who work
on the ground The very air appears to
be radioactive to great degree. No
man working on the ground has been
known to have had rheumatism, even
though he had been previously subject
to it in greater or less degree. The ore
and atmosphere combined seem also to
have a beneficial effect on the stomach
and associated organs. Evidently there
is SO much of radioactive content in the
sandstone and petrified streak that its
force is projected above the surface.
The effect has been noted by all the
men who have worked on the ground"

The living room, which should be
bright and cheerful, should face the
east. The morning room, drawing room
or reception room, usually little used
can face to the north or west
The library must be dry, and may
face the east The morning room should
face east or southeast. Kitchens re-
auire cool locations where possible, and
the northerly exposure is therefore
best.
Bedrooms should have the utmost
possible amount OF sunlight, as 1T IS
materially conducive to he attn, and IN
building the positions OF the Deds
should be indicated on the plans. They
should not be in a direct draught be-
tween doors or windows, or windows
and fireplaces, nor should the eyes OF
the sleeper face the light on awaken
ing; neither should the side of the bed
be placed against the wall Every
bedroom should have an open fireplace
or ventilating fiue.
Bathrooms and plumbing on different
floors should be SO placed over one an
other as TO give direct simple drainage
Ceilings should be from ten to eleven
feet from the floor in the clear, and the
windows are often best designed when
grouped, as inside wall space is es-
sential.
Windows that are too large and toe

and cold in winter but this may be
remedied in part by using plate glass.

1t may be said that specifications for

not as rigidly followed as in the earlier
days, when work was performed in a
more primitive manner, says the Con-
