The Lesson She Lsarned.

A fair western coed and one of the
male seniors fell violently In love and
neglected their studies shamefully.
Both were expelled. The fair coed
therupon wrote this interesting reply
to the faculty:
Gentlemen-You have expelled me for
neglecting my studies. yet have learned
at your institution more than you will
ever know. l have learned the meaning
of love. What is the use of studying bot

you think he is unhappy? We were mar
ried last evening.

GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS
Price List Cstaloss of These Document
Placed With Forest Supervisors

The Forest Supervisors Office al
Austin has just received a set OF
price list catalogs of Government
publications that can be purchased
from the Superintendent of Docu-
ments.
1t is believed that a large portion
of the public in general either do not
know of the opportunity to secure
Government publications at the mere
cost of their printing and distribu-
ton or do not have any idea of what
a large scope they cover. AS a mat
ter of fact, the United States Govern
ment has something authoritative to
say upon almost every subject. There
are books for the housewife. the farm
er or stockraiser, the mining man,
the business man. the person inter-
ested in history. geography, etc.. and
in fact for almost any vocation in
life. Many people also probably
hesitate to take advantage of this
opportunity on account of an aver
sion to the supposed Government
red tape" that must be complied
with, when, as a matter of fact the
process is as simple as ordering from
a commercial concern.
1t is planned to have, in the near
future. a complete set of these cata-
logs at each permanent Ranger Sta
ton as we'll as at the Supervisors
Offices. There will also be a
supply of blank form letters on
hand, so that to order a book it will
be only necessary to fill in name and
address, name of book wanted, and
forward the letter with remittance
to the Superintendent Documents
Washington. D. c. AS a further
convenience to the person who ex'
poets to order these publications at
various times. coupons, good unit
used, may be purchased at the rate
of twenty for $1.0O.
These catalogs will be kept avail
able to the public at Supervisors
and Rangers headquarters at al
times. For this reason it will not
be possible to mail them to prospec
tive purchasers.

Passing Gases Through Iron.

1t mas been known for some dine
that gases will pass through metals
when they are highly heated. Thus
platinum at a red heat will allow air
to pass through 1t. Iron is also per-
meable for hydrogen when hot and
wen when cold to a certain degree.
Recently 1t has been shown that nitro
gen does not penetrate iron below a
temperature Of 800 degrees centigrade.
Hydrogen passes more easily. and at
a temperature of 500 degrees a consid-
cradle action Is noticed.

In the arid lands of central Asia the

A dispatch from New York states
that the white paper situation con-
tinues critical. All the newspaper
publishers of the country are in a
state of ice over the future.
Eight hundred small newspapers

paper. due to it's scarcity. 1t is feared
