Roback today sum- med up his findings on flappers as follows:
 "They are undependable.
 They chafe under discipline and enforced tasks.
 They lack patience and fail to get the desired point of view.
 "They can appreciate only that phase of the question which directly affects them.
 "They dislike to bother with bur densome mental problems.
 "These conclusions" declared Dr. Roback. ''were thrust upon me as a result of the hundreds of intelligence tests that I have given co-eds.
 'The flappers dislike to work, are very impatient and fail to apply knowledge which they acquire in school. But they have one charac- teristic which teachers must have to procure results, In the class room they are sympathetic. That is their one recommendation"

during geologic ages. the union of the Black sea with the Aegean took place. the great rush of salt water through the Bosporus into the Black sea killed the fauna in its waters. and produced the sulphuret- ted hydrogen which exists in great quantities below the 100-fathom line. The waters that stand in the great depression of the floor, most of which lies between 6,0O0 and 1000 feet be- low the surface. may be said to be stagnant.
 This immense body of water, 165.- 900 square miles in area. has several other peculiarities. It has cold layer of water down between 25 and 50 fathoms, caused by the sinking of the heavy. cold surface water upon the densnr saltier water beneath Such condition confines most of the circulation of the waters to the up- per portion Of the sea and leaves the greater depths undisturbed, at a more or less uniform temperature. and free from any circulation of oxygen upon which fish and other marine life would depend"

Newton, Kans.. Dec. 2S.-Provi- sional drill regulations of the Grand Encampment of Knights Tem- plar of the United States of America, printed in bookform as authorized by a special committee at the triennial encampment at New Orleans in May. 1922, are ready for distribution throughout the country on orders from communicates or individual sir knights.
 The book contains the authorize ton by the grand master. definitions, general principles and rules, orders and commands, all manner of drill tactics and maneuvers, competitive drill movements and regulations, re- views, parades. inspections, bugle signals and calls, rules for the proper display of the American flag and other data important in the conduct of the commandery. The committee. of which Col. P. M. Hoisington of Newton, was made chairman, expects grand encampment at Seattle, without IGNlSluu.
 Communicates of Knights Templar within the Jurisdiction of the grand eneampment are urged to adopt the book in an authorization of the pro- visional report by Leonidas P. New by. grand master of the grand en- campment. Knightstown, Indiana.
 Agitation over a long period of years for uniform regulations was said to have prompted the action at New Orleans. Ever since the organi- ration has existed in the United States it was explained, each grand com mandery Jurisdiction has followed regulations and tactics of its own adoption and had caused some con- fusion and uncertainty in the trien- nial conclaye. The committee was selected on individual merit in ability and experience in drill regulations.
