 Besides the little masks. you may buy, each of you, a whole buShed or Rhese sugar p1unls. and have them sent to our balcony. Also for each 8 little tin scoop fastened on a flexible handle. which you are to fill with con fetti but on no account to pull-at least, not yet peasant girls in their holiday attire of bright petticoats. laced bodices, and white fri1Ied capsI stray dom1noes; richly dressed ladies with mask in hand; carriages so decorated with flowers as to be artfsticalIy hidden even the wheels. covered with batiste blue, pink. purple, green or buff. Even the sidewalk, as we pass. is fringeds with chairs at a franc each.
 The '+Cours' is gay with suspended banners, bright with festooned bal comics and merry faces. Sidewalks
  the horses have the right of way, and the people are fined if they are, run over.
 Let us hasten to our balcony. for here passes a band of musicians, in scarlet and gold, to open the process sion.
 It is ssthe theatre'-an open car of puppetsEbut the puppets are men; all attached to cords held in the hand of the giant. who sits in imposing state above them on the top of the car which is son level with the third story balconies.
 The giant lifts his hand and the puppets whirl and jump But alas. his head Is too high. His hat is swept off by the hanging festoons. and the giant must ride bare-headed, in dan ger of sunstroke-

NEW SPECIFICATIONS
 FOR HICKORY HANDLES.

Through new specifications for ax, sledge, adz, pick and other hickory handles, the Panama canal authori- ties have recently purchased large quantities of this class of material for one-fourth less than formerly paid, and at the same time are get ting just as serviceable stock
 The war department and the navy department. as we'll as the Panama canal commission, have adopted these specifications, which were prepared by the forest service primarily for the use of the various branches of the federal government. Subsequently,. however, they have been approved by the trade both manufacturers and dealers. and adopted by several of the leading railroads.
 The new rules are the. result of a

exhaustive strength tests. investiga- tions of the growth of hickory in the woods, processes of manufacture, and market conditions. Under the new specifications handles are selected &C., cordtng to weight, as influenced by the density of the wood. and they now include. material which may be either partly or wholly of heartwood, 1, known generally as red hickory. Red hickory was formerly discriminated against in commercial grading, but it is now accepted, since it has been found that. weight for weight it is just as seEYiceab1e as the white hickory, Handles which contain. small sound knots Or bird pecks, so located as not to affect the strength, are also accepted.

is dealing with, how much infection there is on board, the character of the cargo, and other matters If there are sick on board, these are Hospital. Those who have been ex- posed are placed under observation till the incubation period of the dts ease ts passed. When necessary, clothes, bedding, etc, are disinfectad. The personnel having thus been dis posed of. the vessel Is now taken uz- der charge. If plague is suspected, the important question is to kill rats on board; if yellow fever is under consideration, mosquitoes must be de- stroyed, and so on, all further treat Inent dependng upon the disease un- s der consideration
 k One can readily understand now of what great importance is a knowledge as to the nature of these diseases and their manner of spread. Before it was known that yellow fever was spread by mosquitoes and in no other way, much time and effort were ex- pended fn. disinfecting bedding and clothing and even such things as rock ballast. Now, With fuller knowledge, the quarantine officer pays no atten- ton to such things unless they har= Dor mosquitoes. His sole aim is to is relatively easy. So with plague and it's carrier, the rat.
 To give an idea of the work done by the National Quarantine Establish ment the following may be quoted: :: During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913. a total of f2,SS8 vessels were inspected by the National Quarantine Establishment. Of this number 113 vessels were placed in quarantine. Also during the last fiscal year 4,852 vessels were funi- gated either for the eradication of infection, or else for the destruction of the carriers of quarantinabIe dis ease, such as rats and m osquit oes.
 In conclusion it may be said that the quarantine officers lot like the pohceman's is a celebrated comic opera, is not 9 happy one always; and in his dealings with the public or at least that portion of it which may by his order have to endure a ouar- antine, he often comes in for a, hearty share of undeserved condemnation It should always be kept in mind that he is only doing his duty; and that. when he is free to do so, no one is happier than himself to see the quar- antlne flag struck and the ship pass on to her restination. ff

COLLEGE HODGES CLUB
Political Organization for Governor at
Washburn.

The political spirit is in the air. 1t
has even invaded the precincts Of the
colleges. On the bulletin board at
Washburn college appeared this
morning a huge poster announcing a
Democratic meeting tomorrow. The
poster. which bears a picture of Gov
ernor Hodges, reads, Attention DEM
ocrats! Meet in Professor Schon-
berger's room Friday after chapel.
Come and get a button"
Two years ago Washburn was one
of the many colleges that had a Will
son club. The members of that club
were so satisfied with the work of
the organization that it was deter
mined this year to follow up the idea
and form a Hodges club. No
one is barred because he or she may
not be old enough to vote this year.
The meeting tomorrow is called to
discuss the organiza alton of club of
those interested in seeing Demo-
cratic governor reelected in Kansas.
This includes great number of Re-
publicans who have been eminently
satisfied with the present national
administration. and who believe in
standing by Woodrow Wilson by elect
ing those officials in the state who are
in harmony with his ideas.

BELCIANS wary.
Efforts of German Army to
Trap Them May Fail.
Are Staying in the Open Pre-.
pared for q Retreat.
lRx I. w. T. Mason.A

New York, Oct. 8.-The removal of
the Belgian government archives to
Ostend demonstrates that the Ger
mans have not succeeded in COM
pletely investing Antwerp and sug-
gests that q way is clear to the west
for the escape of the Belgian army, if
Antwerp eventually capitulates.
The Belgians apparently are adopt
ing the same tactics at Antwerp that
they used so successfully at Liege.
The field force is being held together
as a distinct unit, apart from the
strategic demand centering about the
permanent Notifications of Antwerp.
The artillerists in the forts are in
reality isolated as far as the move
ment Of the field army is concerned.
The principal purposes of the field
army at Antwerp is, as it was at
Liege, to guard itself from capture
and not to defend the city within the
city walls, where escape is impossible.
1t is now certain that a retreat
westward is open for the Belgians, and
if this line can be kept clear, Ant
werp's fall will be Of no military con-
sequence to the Germans The Bel
gian army, which the German general
staff desires SO ardently to trap, will
have gotten away, and Antwerp's sur
render will be as useless to the Ger
mans as was the capture of Brussels
