Olson, Lorena Welty, Margaret Sper-
ry, J. Parter, Jack Cofferty.
An all-school mixer was held on
Friday evening the thirteenth in the
gymnasium building. The evening
was spent in games and stunts of such
a character that the fact that the
mixers" were college women and
army men was forgotten and they
became boys and girls who played
for the sake of play. The gymnas-
ium was very effectively decorated
with flags and bunting in honor of
the S. A T. c. men who were, in a
sense, guests of the evening.
Miss Merle Caswell, the chairman
of the Y. W. C. A. social committee.
and her assistants Mae and Alice
Berglund and Francis Newton have
the thanks of the students for their
efforts in providing so delightful an
evening.

AAOe1J evening" OCCSnlDSI ILL IL6
members of the S. A. T. C. were sum-
moned to the auditorium, where they
spent an hour singing. Popular num-
bers, such as cover There" and
There's a Long, Long, TraiT' were
sung. The boys were led by Prof.
Malloy, Francis Wollner was the ac-
companist.
1t is safe to say that every one
present enjoyed it, some a great deal
more than others. A few who were
determined not to enjoy it and who
insisted upon reading magazines, left
the room by request.
Meetings of this kind are the things
that help to make Fort Hays Normal
School famous for the good fellow
ship and friendliness displayed among
the students and Faculty members.

the board here AT Washington on that
subject.

constituents complain that their
loans are being called by their banks

what / stated, but since he rushcs I'm
TO defend the banks Of which hc Is n
director. I will cndeavor TO show him
that II IL NOT above suspicion.
"In letter to the Union National
bank OF Columbia, dated May 16.

pleasing to Wall street to see both

profit. not admitting that they should
be specially taxed more than to have
all excess profits heavily taxed The
manufacturers are entitled to the same

self more popular. In some sec
tions, II IL known as n skunk, wood
pussy or an essence -peddlcr, hut no
one has been able to notice any mark
cd difference in the aroma. If II were
not for this one idiosyncrasy. the
striking beauty, the playful disposi-
tion and the friendly ways Of tn" lit
tie creature would doubtless have
made him one of the most beautiful
of pets. He Is a symphony in black
and white. and If he only had dash
Of crimson about him, he would re-
mind ono of that drummer OF tn"
woods. the red headed woodpicker, so
ahrnptly-docs the black Of him end and
that white OF him begin. There Is no
gradual shading Of white into black
but his colorations are as startling as
the squares on n checker-board.
A we'll grown specimen Is about two
feet long. or about the size Of an av-
eragc cat. The body is thick-set; legs
rather short: tail even more bushy
than that OF the Squirrel: claws well
developed and curved, and the bottom
OF the feet bare. The hair which Is
long and wavy. Is the clearest black.
To relieve this rather funeral aspect.
two stripes OF purcst white begin at
his eyes. run along the sides OF the
head. widening as they traverse the
body, and continuing the full length OF
the tail. Altogether, he Is probably
the most striking personality OF the
country side. as well as one Of the
most easily seen. He belongs to the
same group with the weasols and the
ininks, all Of which have the power of
emitting a very strong, musky odor,
when angry or frightened. This
proves to be quite a protection, as
most OF their natural enemies seem
to lose their appetite after a few
whiffs.

All Checks Ready Soon.

The bureau expects to have CHEEKS
for March rcmittanccS ready fer matt
ing on the morning of April a;.d by
that time much Of the vast human ma
chine which has been built for ptepar-
ing the pay checks will be scrapred,
Machines will do the work better, It is
expected, than men and women.
In the meanwhile, this is the way
the human machine works:
Experts in office management have
devised special schemes of office
routine. More than 1000 young men
and girls cannot he managed eti-
ciently by haphazard methods. Rcgu-
lar recreation periods in the middle
of the morning and afternoon arc pro-
vided. There is a piano and grapha-
phone and the girls may darce during
the short recess. The managers say
that they do 80 per cent better work
as a result There is a lunch room,
operated at cost. The bureau has a
supervising matron. who advises the
girl employees. most OF whom have
come 10 Washington recently for war
time employment on patriotic
grounds. She helps them obtain lodg-
ing rooms and i'll other ways.
Speedy typiSts are carefully chosen
from the throng and arranged at the
long work desks in the center of a
group of slower workers. This ar
tangement promotes group speed and
better office morale, the efficiency
men in charge declare. Blonde girls
are assigned to places between bru-
nettes, for the bureau management
believes blondes are of more nervous
temperament and the bruncttes pro-
vide q Steadying influence.
Each check is typed individually
and a government law provides that
checks also must be signed individ
ually rather than samped mechanical
ly. The signing is big task. sigma
ture duplicating machines are used
10 checks being signed by each orig
inal signature OF pay clcIk.
Even\the choice OF pay clerks is ;
lesson in efficiency Not personality
not training, but length OF patrony
mic names is the determining factor
Men with short names work at tn
signing machines. for more shor
names can be signed daily than lonl
names. This is the reason the JOB
are held by z. Hibbs, D. Mills, J. L
Betz, G. A. Ball and NJ. Cox.
