lahomn students don't have to fol-
low-they have been leading in this

cially the engineering students who
spend considerable time each day in
the various laboratories.
Students in the department of
chemistry have also discovered that
the initial cost of overalls is far less
than that of suit OF woolens and
that the chemicals with which they
work long hours dlily will not effect
their denims and unionalls as quick
ly as the woolen clothing
However the Rock Hounds prefer
the khaki to the denim for field SER
vice, especially on the trips to the
Arbuckle mountains. One reason as
signed for this preference is the fact
that many of the present pebble pups

supply Of khaki clothing on hand
Throughout the present university
year this clothing has, been in evi.
dence, especially on cold or rainy
days.

Reasons Girls Give For Buying Fur Coats


The furs that working girls buy On
installfnents, one house prominent in this
class says, are mostly Of the cheaper
grades, averaging in price around seV-
eral hundred dollars.
Now and then, said the proprietor Of
this concern, a working girl making a
good salary comes in to buy a $500 or
$500 fur. Her first payment on pur-
chase of this size is required to be $3.50
5000 or perhaps more. She has then -four
Or five months in which to meet the bal
ande.
The run Of the stores however, ask
cash in advance. True enough, many
have their own instailment plan, but
this is quite different from the deferred
payment system usually associated with
real estate.
These deferred payments are before
rather than "after" getting the goods
