A. White

Lawrence, May 5.-In his speech
at the All-University convocation
here today, William Allen White,
editor of tie Emporia Gazette. urged
the students mot to accept the
order that is"
"The one blessed privilege Of
youth is to change things. The one
virtue Of youth is passion for
change. Nothing is as wicked as q
conservative youth" said Mr.. White.
"When you get older conservatism
may be forced upon you by the logic
of events. The inexorable grind of
life may file down your enthusiasm
for a better world but your first OBJ
ject in life should be to make this
world a better world, and In order
to make this world better world
you must instill into your hearts
blood the belief that this is not the
best possible world. 1t is, as q mat
ter Of fact, fairly good world, but
It is only good because youth like
you a generation ago decided It was
a bad world in another generation,
unless youth, like you, with all the
vigor and vision and enthusiasm Of
youth look upon the faults Of this
world, and set out to make it bet

Toledo, o., May GA tiny, wOb-
'bly-legged lamb which snuggles
down between two great dogs in the
animal house In the zoo at Walbridge
park here gives visitors another side
Of the strange life there.
The recent experience at the zoo,
in which Keeper Louis Scherer was
severly injured in hand to- hand
struggle with giant ape, furnished
n picture Of unyielding hatred, but
that Of the lamb and the dogs shows
n striking contrast.
Half starved, temporarily blind
and suffering from the, cold, the
newborn lamb was found in one cor
ner Of the animal yard. 1t was such
a dilapitated little mite that even
the mother had deserted it.
Keepers carried 1t into the animal
house, fed it warm milk out of a
bottle, and creased its eyes and fur
nished it cozy bed in box near
the stove.
The two Great Dane dogs, almost
as big as Shetland ponies, immmedi-
ately adopted the lamb.

Eureka, May S.-George A. Cor

the animals were heaped up by the
pressure Of the stampede until those
on top of the struggling pile were
higher than the fork Of the tree in
which I crouched. 1t appeared that
in a few minutes that pile would
engulf me. In any case it seemed
certain that the horse that I had left
