ture for this purpose.
The first appropriation made by the
state for the veterinary department
was but $4,000, and only within the
past two years has it been possible for
the department to get anything like

Boys Are Peeved, Girls Pout.
Just when everybody had come TO
believe that the tango was behaving
itself with perfect propriety among the
students of Ohio State university.
there leaks out the news that some
thing of naughtiness has crept in, and
the result is small social upheaval
in college circles. Young men are
peeved, girls are pouting, and the
tango has been placed under a big So
cial cloud. The order has gone forth
that certain moods of the tango never
shall be permitted again, and it is
threatened that special censor may
be named to see to it that the order is
carried out
Had the tango remained as sedate
and dignifed as it was when Miss
Caroline Breyfogle, the dean of women
at the university, gave it her approval
some weeks ago, all would have been
we'll. 1t was some of the reckless col
lege spirits that are charged with
dragging the new favorite from her
pedestal of perfection. Even a certain
element among sorority girls are ac.
cused of taking liberties with some OF
the less approved features of the
dance. And Miss Breyfogle has given
peremptory orders to the effect that
every phase of the tango except the
most polite and formal shall be, ruled
completely out of college functions
which college girls attend. Since not
all of the girls have been guilty of
counting the unapproved dancing
fashions, the result is much pouting
among the tango adherents. The tenn
porary ban is going to remain, how.
ever, it is said, unless all college cir.
cles rule out the outre dancing forms
Seek Redress.
Baked in their effort to have the
county license board permit the open
saloon on Sunday, certain Cincin
natians are going to appeal to the in.
itiative and referendum for redress
They have started movement to cir
culate petitions for law amending
the present Sunday law SO that saloons
can be kept open at least during Ger
tain hours of. the Sabbath. This cam,
be realized now for the reason that the
state laws command saloons to close
! during all of Sunday, and the license
commissions are insisting that the
/ letter of the law be obeyed.

In an effort to arouse interest among
| prisoners Chaplain Reed of the Ohio
penitentiary had several thousand bool
catalogues printed recently in the
prison printing shop in which is LISTED
every volume or publication contained
in the library of the state prison. II
this catalogue the chaplain urges the
reading of books. He is of opinion
that reading good books is the mos
profitable way any man can spend his
spare time and encourages the inmate.
of the penitentiary to read as man.
books as they possibly can.
Each prisoner received copy Of thu

card he may draw two and possibl,
three books each week. At the pres
ent time many thousand volumes ars
filed on the shelves in the library, bu
this number is being constantly aug
mented by the arrival of late publica
tions and gifts from book lovers, who
often find they had duplicate cop,
that they have no use for. Chaplain
Reed will make special efforts to pu
at least 1000 books into prison circu
lation each week. At present onl,
