NUMEROUS COLLEGES
 TO JOIN ASSOCIATION

Since the meeting of the represen- tatives from the various colleges at Houston, for the purposes of forming an athletic association among the col leges of Arkansas, Louisiana, Miss issippi, and East Texas, it has been learned more definitely just which schools have applied for membership.
 The six members of the Louisiana Intercollegiate Athletic Association are, Centenary College, Louisiana Col lege, Polytechnic Institute, Louisiana State Normal, St. Charles College and Southwestern Louisiana Institute. These six colleges have already ex- pressed their desire to form the new association.
 In Arkansas Hendrix, Little Rock College, Henderson Brown ,Ouachita and Arkansas State Teachers College, will be affiliated with the larger as sociation. The Mississippi members will be drawn from Millsaps, Mississ- ippi College and the University of Mississippi. Austin College from Tex as and several other colleges from Texas and Mississippi have also made known their willingness to join.

GRAFTON TRYOUTS TO
 BE HELD FOR CONTEST
Tryouts Will Be Held Just Before Representative is Sent to Annual
 Contest at Philadelphia.

For two years now, representatives of Hendrix College have won every debate that they have entered. We are proud, extremely so, of our for ensic record and of the men who made these victories possible.
 However, about the 1st of May, when our track team invades Arka- delphia, we have an event scheduled which should be of equal interest to the entire student body. At that time the College Oratorical Contest will be held. The College of the Ozarks, Arkansas College, Henderson Brown and Ouachita, will together with Hen drix, have entries in the contest. if we are to maintain the superiority of which We have so aften bragged, we must stand at the head of the list in this event. Each school entered will have one male contestant who must present an original oration. The ora tion may not be less than twelve or more than eighteen minutes long.
 Tryouts to select our representa- tive will be held about ten days be- fore the event takes place, but Prof. Gooden, who is in charge of the Hen drix entries, urges that each man who contemplates trying out enter his name immediately and start to work on his oration.
 Among the sixteen men who have thus far entered the contest are Bland, Goodloe, Lewis, Garvin an dSadler, all of whom are men oi know ability We may rest assured that whoever is chosen from the list of entries be entirely worthy of representing the institution.

BARNkCLES LONG A MYSTERY
Up to Comparatively Few Years Ago the Small Creatures Were
 Wrongly Chased.

So indefinite and hay were the re- until very few years ago the barnacle was claSsed with the mol lusca, although it is really a crusta- cean. It Is developed from free-swim- ming larvae and attaches itself to rocks or timbers, which it never leaves again unless torn off by force.
 There prevailed during the Middle ages curious superstition that the barnacle was the egg of migratory goose, the eggs being attached to the branches of trees that overhung the water Not until it was found that the bird had it's nesting place in the Arctic regions and came South dur ing the polar winter was this fiction disproved. But the bird is still known as the barnacle goose.
 The barnacle also attaches itself to living organisms, one of it's favorite lodging places being the huge bulk of the whale. Sometimes, 1t is contend ed, it ventTes even into the jaws of the big mammal. It is one of the paradoxes of nature that the leviathan of the deep is utterly powerless to cope with the small crustacean. which, at its largest size, when within the shell, is about as big as chestnut. It Is believed that whales sometimes rub themselves against ships in their at temptS to rid themselves of their un- welcome tenants

FISH NOT BRED FROM EGGS
Scientists Have Discovered Small Species That Undoubtedly Bear
 Their Young Alive.

The habit of laying eggs is so near ly universal among fishes that prob ably most people will be surprised, says Science SftinGs, to learn that certain small species actually bear their young alive. Among these is the large family of killifshes, or Cyprino- doHtidae. In such species the young are born in comparatively advanced stage of development. When born they closely resemble the adult fish. All Of thcm are very tenacious of life.
 Tha; he bearing of the young alive by ceI;H.n fish Is not significant of a higher >fate of evolution. as the lay man ni.rht naturally suppose. Is proved r fine fact that it occurs In many sp@c'oS of the sharks and their cousins the rays. though tEeSe are among tlc earliest, i c. the most an cient fsh.~ hat we know. This habit of procrea I'll has been developed in order to give the young fry a better chance of survival than they might otherwise h9"e-it is literally ease of fewer hAbcS but better ones" The most curiou, of all these fishes iS inc genus Anahleas which lives in the streams of llc American tropics. This Is sometimes called the four-eNed fish, for the reason that its large promi- nent eyes, which actually resemble marbles on the top of the head. are divided horizontally Into two parts. the lower hall being fitted for water vision and the upper half for air vision
