Cut Flowers Need Air.

If cut flowers are squeezed into a vase so tightly that the air is exclud- ed they will! he smOthered to death. That is the reason why many bou- quets do hot last as long as they should. A WiGe-mouthed vase is the best kind to, use because it admits oxygen in plenty. Tall, slender vases are very attractive for long-stemed flowers like carnations, but they have one fault-the water in them becomes warm very quickly, and this warmth is transmitted to the flowers, causing them to wilt. The water in vases of this kind should be changed twice q day.

Clyde Williams, director of athletics
at Ames, announced Saturday that
Ames would continue to have athletic
teams as long as there was any COL
lege to compete with. He also believes
that the other Missouri Valley schools
will complete their present track and
baseball schedules. The fact that Ok
lahoma has dropped athletics and vot-
ed for compulsory military training
will have little effect on the colleges
in this part of the country, he says.
Williams thinks that only a few of the
students at Ames will return home to
work on farms.
