RUF-NEK DAY
Let Girls Have Chance to Dress Up
Too, High School Prln-
clpal Suggests
Today.

Today was rough neck day at the
high school, and Principal Reid sug-
gested In assembly yesterday that
inasmuch as there is so much de-
mocracy going around in the air,
and in all Of our battle slogans. that
democracy should extend to the
schools. He suggested that the girls
be given the same privilege as the
boys in dressing up in old clothes.
The rough neck pranks were limited,
however, to q half hour this after.
The students paraded Main street
this afternoon at one o'clock led by
Arlo How'd, who acted as general
issimo and cheer leader, and with
Edward Ebersole as the drum major.
The parade came down the street
single file, but went back in columns
of four. A squad of girls in rough
neck garb brought up the rear.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 15.-The sec.
end day of the trial Of Mrs. H. H.
Hirsch, charged with attempting to ex'
tort $500, 900 from Mayor Asa G. Cand,
Ter by black mail say both sides bat
Ting every inch Of the way. That the
case would go to the jury and Mrs,
Hirsch know her fate before night,
was the general belief.
Mrs. Hirsch was expected to take
the stand herself as one Of the first
witnesses. Whether she would do so
under oath, allowing the state there
by to cross examine her, is causing
considerable speculation.
Judge Richard b. Russell, formerly
of the state court Of appeals, leading
counsel for the defense, has not indi.
Gated his plans but limited there were
several sensational developments in
store.
Many women war workers who have
been associated with Mrs. Hirsch,

In the middle of the last century
"some," meaning considerable, or
notable, was called "a modern slang
word" Today some" is almost limit
less in it's capacity for application.
1t implies approval. enthusiasm, sar-
casm. wonder, admiration, disgust
or amusement. ~
The seeds may have been sown IN
Cornwall, in Devon, or in Lanca-
shire, but 1 seriously doubt if a ma
tive of any of these countries would
ever say enthusiastically, we had
some fun last night" or sarcastic
cally. This is some book" Another
word to which Americans have given
a new meaning is the verb raise"
In England, men raise crops; in
America, they also raise children.

Anti-Vermin Garments Are Being
Made In State and Are Beinu
Given Chemical Treatments
at Iowa City.
TO GET THEM
This viii Be First Division of For
eign Service Men Who VIII
Have Protection From
These Coolies.

Iowa soldiers in France are soon to
be protected against the ravages of
body-lice, called Coolies" by wearing
anti-yermin garments made in this
state. Mrs. f. c.. Eastman, wife of a
State university professor, is respon-
sible for the project and the chemical
laboratories Of Iowa's university will
be used in treating the underclothes
with the chemicals which will make
them the enemy of the "cootie." Gov
ernor w. L. Harding has authorized
the purchase of the materials out of
the state q appropriation and the
Des Moines mothers club are already
at work on the first thousand gar
ments.
This whole enterprise came about
through d visit of the Iowa City WON.
an last summer to Minneapolis, where
she observed the work of the Society
for French relief. She saw no reason
why our men should not have the com
fort of similar garments and set about
learning all she could of the process
from the French, English, and Cana
dams, who have furnished them for
their soldiers.
On returning to he university she
took the matter up with Prof. E. w.
lockwood, head of the chemistry de-
apartment. He Investigated the chem
ical formulate and processes of treat
ment and found what he believes is an
effective protection against lice. Per-
mission to use the university laun-
dries and any other university equip
ment necessary in the process Of
treating the anti-vermin garments was
granted by President w. "A. Jessup.
Mrs. Eastman next approached Gov
ernor W.. l.. Harding. who subse-
'quently laid the plans before Adjt.
Gen. Guy Logan. They learned that
no other provision for the protection
of American soldiers from this trench
pest has been made by the gvern
.ment or Red Cross so far, and Mrs.
Eastman was authorized to secure the
material for the first thousand gar
ments They will be made by the
women war workers Of Des Moines
and sent to the university for the
chemical treatment.
When. completed, they will be sent
Ito Iowa men in the Rainbow division
in France to be subjected to the test
of actual use in the trenches. If they
are effective, as it is thought they will
be, the limits Of this enterprise begun
by Iowans will be greatly extended
and other states will probably follow
in Iowa's path.

CROP

Wy L 1888
TOPEKA, Kan, March 15.-Kan-
sas will answer the cry Of the world
for food this year. by contributing mil
lions of bushels of wheat to be doled
out to America, the allies and the few
remaining neutrals.
Despite reported threats of reduced
acreage if higher prices were not fixed
for the 1918 crop, the best information
%obtainable indicates the appeal to the
patriotism of the farmers made by
President Wilson in his announcement
of the wheat price schedule will meet
with an overwhelming response from
the wheat-growing sections. Last
year, Kansas farmers sowed 5000, 900
acres of wheat. Only about 100000
acres of this was harvested, owing TO
adverse weather conditions-and the
net yield was approximately forty mil
lion bushels. An equal, If not great
er acreage, which seems assured, will
yield a much greater crop, with fair
weather conditions this year

anticipating the labOring needs Of the
farmers. is rapidly modifying the "boy
power Of the state to meet the de
f~iciency caused by enlistment and the
draft. Through the county councils.

"SOME" AS AN ADJECTIVE.

C. Jefferson Weber. in North
American Review: The American
habit of coming new meanings for
words already known is closely allied
to that of coming words. Take, for
example, the current slang use of
that much used word some" What
a wealth of meaning and insinuation
the American has invented for the
word!
Some" as an adverb may be heard
in many places. For instance, in the
Teign Valley district of Devon, the
natives may say, ut did rain yum
yesterday" But the American would
use the word as an adjective and
say, THAT was some rain yester.
day This use Is hard to define.
