that Kansas university has offered
Rennie owen the position as football
coach at the Jayhawker school re
mains uncOnfirmed but that he has
been approached as to the probable
ity of taking charge Of the Kansas
team is certain.
The Kansas university athletic
council has made a tentative OFFER
to the Sooner coach Of II three-year
contract at $4,000 per year. The va
rying fortunes OF the Jayhawkers
since Bert Kennedy was compelled to
luit because Of the rule passed by
the Missouri valley conference against
professional coaches has caused con-
siderable stir at Kansas, and the de-
Sire for a change has become strong
among the Kansas students ana
alumni.
During the last four seasons Okla
homa has defeated Kansas three
times ana tied with them once. The
limited material with which the
Oklahoma coach has. had to work
has caused his success to be noted
throughout the west, and it is moth
ing remarkable that Kansas should
call on Bennie Owen after being re-
versed three times and tied once by
his teams. Coach owen is a gradu-
ate Of the University Of Kansas.
where he made a remarkable record
as quarterback under Coach Fielding

So far no action has been taken by

gate the action by the authorities at

When the King Is Sick.

IT HE British law retains some pecu-
liar provisions with reference to
the illness of the king" These pro-
visions are mere survivals in the pres
ent settled order of government, but
there was a time when the kings in
capacity afforded opportunity to as
pirants to the throne to shorten his
days at a minimum of risk of detec-
ton. Accordingly. certain wise pre-
cautions were matters of law.
In his Institutes" Coke says: eff
the king be taken sick there ought to
be a warrant issue from the privy
council, addressed to certain physi-
clans and surgeons, authorizing them
to administer to the royal patient
potiones. syrupos. laxitavas, medicinas,
ETC.; still, none of these should be CIV
en- except by consent and advice Of the
council. and they ought to set down in
writing everything done and admins
tered. and they should compound all
drugs themselves and not intrust their
preparation to any apothecary."
Coke thus wrote of precedent in the
year 1910. and today the law is prac-
tically as he found it, although now
the privy council simply hears reports
of the progress of the kings malady,
and leaves actual treatment entirely
to the physicians in direct charge Of
the case.

While driving through Kingston one
day he passed a huge red motor car
that stood before an imposing mansion
of gray stone. A young girl in a
white gown sat in the car, and as the
premier glided by she bowed to him,
but the premier did not appear to see
her. 80
The young woman looked embar-
raised, vexed. She bit her lip. She
thought moment. Then she took hold
of the wheel of her machine, pressed
with her small foot the bulb that made
the horn toot gruff1y, and swiftly she
shot after Mr.. ASQuith.
Soon the great car overlook him and
halted. The young girl, an old friend
of Mr.. Asquiths. extended her hand,
and, as he took it, she said reproach-
fully:
You passed me a while ago without
looking at me-"
With s-uant smile and an inclina-
ton of the head. the premier an
swered:
IF 1 had looked at you L couldn't
have passed you."
