The Jayhawker coed is also taller

of the girl at Wellesley is lie pounds,

In strength and lung capacity the
Kansas girl reigns alone. The aver
age capacity of the German girl is
147 cubic inches; Oberlin girls can
swallow 141.2 inches of ozone and
Wellesley girls $50 cubic inches. The
Kansas girl tests 165, which Is far
above the average for the United

M. NJ. G. to Have Reserve Corps.

a reserve system to provide trained

Michigan National guard in time OF

The plan is somewhat along the
scheme adopted by the regular army
limited in its scope, however, by the
difference in the guard service from
that OF the army.
Under the plan as approved by
General Abbey and the military board

transferred to a reserve corps, rather
than dropped from the rolls as has
been the practice. Statistics compiled
in the office of Adjutant General Van
men drop out of the guard annually
in this way. Men take an oath te
serve for three years upon entering
the guard, and 1t is held by the mill
tary authorities that when a man has
been trained to a certain extent, he
should be in some way held to his
contract to give his services in time
of need. The man transferred TO the
reserve corps will be under no obi
cation to report for duty except there
is call for his services by the ma
tional government. He will be re
quired to keep the adjutant general
informed as to any change in his ad
dress In order that he may be mott

period Of enlistment will be given
discharge showing the period OF his
service with the colors and in the
reserve. 1t Is believed that ultimate

provide most of the organizations
with a goodly number Of partially
trained men, rather than all raw re
cruits, in case there Is call for &C
tive service, and a need to fill the
companies to war strength.

DESIGNED HER OWN ROOM
How One Girl Carried Out Ideas as to
the Furnishing and Col

Her brown study was the name a
made into a snuggery of her own.
where she could read and work and
have coy chats with her friends II
was the brown study because brown
was the prevailing color, enllvened
with yellow. This girl did most OF the
work herself, tinting the walls soft
yellow tan. with a picture molding
painted cream color near the ceiling.
The floor was stained slightly dark
or shade than the walls. and on 1t were
laid rag rugs of browns, tans and yell
lows. The girl braided these rugs
from white material she had dyed her
self so that they would be just the
shades she wished.
So far it was all plain brown, cream
and buff Now for variety and color
she chose a Powered cretonne with a
design of little yellow roses. With
this she made slip cover for little
low rocker, a valance for the top of
her window with side curtains just to
the sill, a curtain run on brass rod
instead of her cupboard door which
she had taken off, and slip cover for
her lounge. She preferred the slip
covers for her chair and sofa because
they could be sent to the wash occa-
sionally, so keeping her room fresh
and bright. She framed an oblong mir
ror in the yellow rose cretonne, and
painted bureau, small kitchen
table, and two kitchen chairs In cream
colored paint. On the table she placed
her, blotter with its dull-brown cor
ners and over the table hung her book.
shelves, well filed. Then she felt she
had a room to enjoy.
