in the heart of Londoni Millet, the

The Y. w. C. A. at the University

A s'big sister that is what each new
girl is to have upon entering Kansas
University this fall The Young
Women's Christian Association has
taken up the "big sister, movement, =
and every Freshman girl is to be in
care of an upper class young woman.
The big sister will meet the new girl
at the train, and will find a suitable
room for her if she has not obtained
one She will help the newcomer to
enroll, and will see that she finds her
classes, will take her church, and will
do all in her power to keep her Fresh
man sister from being lonely.
The Y. c. A. also plans for the Soc
ial life of Freshman girls. The Fresh
man Frolic, one of the first parties of
the school year, always stands out as
''red letter" event in the life of
every Freshman. Then there is the
reception given Jointly by the Y. w.
and Y. M. G. A, the informal Sun
day afternoon teas for the girls, the
Membership Banquet, and smaller
parties throughout the school year.
So, each Freshman girl has her share
of fun which makes hard work easier
and college life what it should be.
But the force that brings out the
noblest and the best in our Univer-
| sity young women is the weekly Y.
w c. A meeting. This is held every
Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 For fif-
teen minutes there is a time of in
formal talk while tea and waters are
served. Then at AS the res s'sliar-
meeting takes place There are all
kinds OF meetings meetings where
foreign speakers talk: meetings
where there is open discussion on
such subjects as "a fter College
What2'' and meetings for special &C.
casions as for Christmas or for Estes
Park rallies. 1t is at these times
that each girl learns to see life from
broader viewpoint and resolves to
be better friend to every girl on
the campus.
friendship After all is one of
the great things we gain from, col
lege life, friendship with God and
man and it is the Y. W. that helps to
bring it into the life of university
girls. So, each freshman girl who

Paul Mechler, sixteen years old, and
Harry Hegel, eighteen years old, both
of $50 High street, today surrendered
themselves to the police, who held
warrants for their arrests, charging
them with grand larceny. When ar
raigned before Judge Hahn today in

to have confessed to taking part of
the money. Mrs. Gahan, however,
settled the case with their parents for
$3.50.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Gahan wished
to leave the Hegel home, but her
trunks were held for q debt of $18.

TO USE CANAL
FOR SWIMMING
Board of Health Inspectors
Find Water Good for
Bathing.

The water in the Morris canal north
of the old Bloomfield road bridge Is
fit for swimming purposes. This was
made known today to the Playground
Commission by the Board of Health.
During the past week, inspectors of
the Board Of Health have had sam
pies tested and the result indicates
that the water is good for bathing.
About two weeks ago, ]. Leonard
Mason. secretary of the Playground
Commission, suggested that bathers
be allowed to enjoy the waters of
the canal. At that time, several of
the commissioners did not think the
water was fit for bathing. In the re-
port of the Board of Health, 1t is
declared that the place must be
screened and the rubbish that has
collected must be taken away.
1t is expected that the Playground
Commission will have a special meet
ing to decide as to what the next
move will be. 1t is stated that IL
sufficient funds are available, bathing
houses will be erected for public USE
In the event that the waters of the
canal are used, then the congestion
in the various bath houses will be
somewhat lessened. A move to use
the waters of the canal has been pro-
crossing for the past several years.

MERCURY GOES UP
AFTER GREAT DROP
Temperature Higher Today.
Yesterday One of Coolest
July Days on Record.

After one of the coolest July 2s's on
record the sun came out today and
warmed things up a trifie. The
weather bureau today predicted fair
weather for tonight and Thursday.
At o'clock this morning the ther-
mometer stood at 81 degrees, a re-
markedly low temperature for this
time of year. The mercury continued
to climb until noon, when 1t registered
II degrees.
According to the weather bureau
yesterday was the coolest July %
since 1884. A heavy rain accom-
panied by an east wind were re-
sponsible for the drop in temperature.
Captains of incoming steamships
said that the weather on the ocean
was cooler during the past few days
than they had known it to be at the
end of July for the last twenty-five
years.
The records in the weather bureau
show the eccentricities of the weather
during the month about to close. So
far this month there have been only
twelve entirely clear days. From
July / to July II the temperatures
average was less than 20 degrees. The
mercury rose to so degrees only once
in that time. A year ago today the
thermometer registered IS degrees.

month. The hottest July ever ex-
perienced was in 1911.

COMMISSION TO
DECIDE STATUS
| OF MARKET CLERK
viii Determine Whether BOYLE
Is in Competitive Class
q or Not.

The State Civil Service Commission
on Tuesday will hand down a decision
defining clearly whether or not the
market clerk of the city of Newark is
the head of a department. Several
hearings have been held on the ques-
ton and the testimony is now all in.
The commission will meet in Pater-
son on Tuesday, when the question
will be settled
Thomas A. Boyle was appointed by
the Common Council to succeed
Thomas j. Rowe, the former incum-
bent of the city market clerks office,
who died last spring. The Civil Ser
vice Commission refused to certify
Mr. Boyle's payroll and his salary
has been held up pending the deci-
sion Of the State Civil Service Com
mission.
The Civil Service Commission con-
tends that the position is in the COM
petitive class, and therefore should be
flled by candidate from the eligible
lists.
The Common Council ignored the
commissions ruling and appointed
Mr.. Boyle in spite of the protests
from Commissioner Alexander r.
Fordyce. Mr.. Fordyce then refused
to verify the payroll of the market
S.cAh witch II was presented TO MIN
for signature
The council contends that the mar
ket clerk is the head of department
and therefore is not subject to the
Jurisdiction of the Civil Service
Commission. II was on this ground
that the council appointed Mr.. Boyle
Tho appointment was confirmed by
Mayor Haussling.
The commission maintains that the
position was placed in the COMPETE
tive class when the city adopted the
civil service system and cannot be
removed from that classification ex-
cept by permission of the commits
sion.
Mr.. Rowe was not a civil service
appointee. He was city market clerk
when the civil service system was
adopted. The commission declares
that he was under civil service pro-
lection, and subject to its regulat ton.
