Girls Should "Sic"
 Squirrels on the Prof,

Chicago, Oct. 29.--'"There are no beautiful women in the United States" said Prof Frederick Starr internationally noted anthropologist who by this statement has been unanimously elected king of the world crepe hangers by co-eds at the University of Chicago.
 "It is only our American good nature that causes us to call girl who is not phenomenally ugly, beau tiful," continued the professor.
 "A handsome man or woman is the rarest of all creatures. There is no real beauty in the United States. Only among the Liberiar and kindred races is real beauty tc be found"
 The American race is too mon grel to be beautiful, according tt the professor, who believes the AT rican belles and the Bantus are fal superior to girls of the United States from a beauty standpoint. be cause they arc pure color race.
 Our standards of beauty would be denied by any European nation,' he said. "The Korean yellow race quite frequently surpass us in speci' mems of beauty. Beauty in a blonde race is next to impossible. It is more difficult for blonde to meas ure up to beauty standards than il is for brunei"
 After all of which the intrepid professor, world trotter and world authority on races, is about as popular with the co-eds, particularly the blonde-eds, as a barrel of rattle snakes.

Dean Gladson of Fayette-
 vile Says State Must Pro- N vide for Maintenance ln-
 stead of County.

Little Rock, Oct. 28.-''If Ark ansas wants to share in the $75,- COG. GOO Federal Good Roads appro- priation, she will have to change her present laws" says Dean w. N. Gladson of the College of Engineer ing. University of Arkansas. Dean Gladson and Professor Stocker have just returned from the Regional Conference of the study of highway economies and highway transport, held at Knoxville, Tennessee.
 'sYhe Federal Appropriation bill, now before Congress, provides, among other things, that each state that participates in this appropria- tion must maintain it's federal aid- ed roads. This duty cannot be delegated to county or other sub- division of the state.
 ''Ihis means that if Arkansas is to receive her proportion of the 75 million, which will be about s1,- 100000, we must substitute state for county maintenance of federal aided roads.
 MT. Thomas H. Mcdonald, Chief Engineer of the Bureau of Public Roads, was the chief speaker at the conference He outlined the govern ment's plan of building interstate highways, as well as it's method of assisting state highway building.
 Tn private conversation with the university men, he stated em- phatically that Arkansas present improvement district plans for building and maintaining highways did not entirely meet with his ap- proval. It is hoped that the Com mittee on Highways and Highway Transport can arrange for a region al conference in Arkansas in the near future, at which time our highway problems can be discussed. ''
