Sound pictures were shown for
the first time in Central IS auditor
ium, last Tuesday, when Mr. White
from the University of Southern
California showed two reels of pic
lures, one of the Olympic games
held in Los Angeles and the other
of campus scenes from use. Scenes
in the reel on the Olympics showed
the finish of many record-break-
ing events; whereas those pictures
taken on the university campus
showed buildings, campus scenes,
and bits of student life.
Play-offs have been completed in
GAA tennis. Winners from the
first teams are Elizabeth Tagg, first
singles; Helen Nakagawa and VAL
erie Smith (Green), doubles; Lu-
cille Henderson (Purple) second

A gay. Easter egg hunt followed
by a hay-ride back to town were
two features of the GAA hike, yes
terday afternoon and evening.
Leaving the school at the end of
the sixth period, the girls hiked
about five miles to the Mordah
ranch, where they played games
and had a Weiner roast. The high
light of the evening came when the
girls hunted for the Easter eggs
hidden about the place.
Accompanied by Paul Thornton.

In my common opinion, the building is too grand

Practically everything is marbe-outside, inside,
the walls, the floors. More marble was used in this

TtHE number of mysteries uncovered in the

Shapley gets the jump on those who wait until New
Years Day to do their summarizing.
AS the chief accomplishment of 1885. Dr. Shapley
lists the new confirmation of tie EnSten theory Of

TT is significant fact that each year since 1919

Dr. Trumpler has confirmed the existence of the

1t Stunts Your GrOUth

ID ESIDES, hear that it stunts your growth. No
- Harold, didn't say that Kansas stunts your
growth. We're speaking now Of physical growth
not spiritual and moral growth which quite diff
ferent l said that smoking cigarets stunts your
growth. At least so I've been told I don't know out
Of my experience. I didn't start smoking until
was IL years old and had my growth.
Nov, Harold, the question is do you want to be
moderate III all things and grow up to be fine, big
Swapping like your Uncle Haywood? Or do
you-What's that? What you crying about?
You say you don't want to grow up to be like Uncle
Haywood! You say that Uncle Haywood is big fat

palmer Harold Don't cry; everybody loves you Uncle
Haywood is big fat loafer. Yes, thought that

TT is true, of course, that the state is dry, and
that it would have been impossible for Harold to
amuse himself with cocktails and rckeys until the
arrival of the next bus. Horse racing is not legal
in Wichita, and neither is roulette. Perhaps the kid
might have scared himself up a dice game but he
would have to know the right mob
But did it ever occur to Mrs. Young to her
4-year-old son, Harold that there is such a thing
in life as a thirst for knowledge? The boy might
have wandered out into the fields to observe the
flowers or the COrnflOWerS whatever it is that
Kansas is supposed to raise. He could have exam
ined the pueblos in which the natives live Maybe
that isn't Kansas but the natives must live some
how, and I'll bet it's curious and interesting.
Indeed Harold could have gone to Topeka to in
tervieW Gov. Landon, who has just received his ap-
pointment from Mr. Hearst as the next President
of the United States. Harold might we'll have said
Gov. Landon 1 am just years old, and I want
you to tell me fairy story. Read me a Republican
speech about the protective tariff
That would have been a much better way for
Harold to entertain himself Little boys who smoke
cigaretS sometimes get sinking feeling in the pit of
the stomach. Still, have known that to happen
even to adults who heard too many Republican
speeches.

Your Health
: BY DIR. MORRIS FlsHBElN-

4 S great clouds of dust were blown across the
L prairies last spring people began to wonder
what the effects would be their lives and health
DR.. Earle G. Brown, health officer of Kansas. has
made analysis of the effects of this dust, which
should be of interest to every who suffered its
depredations.
1t is interesting to know that in some instances
the dust blew high 10000 to $4,000 feet affect
ing avatorS and that its intensity and duration
beyond anything ever experienced before. Great
damage was done to homes livestock, and crops.
1t was found that the germs predominating in
the dust were those usually found in soil and of
little Importance in relation to causes of disease.
IN analyzng the incidence of disease in association
Il with The dust storms, however, some interesting
conclusions developed
There was a definite increase in the amount of
illness and in the number of deaths from diseases
affecting the breathing tract Thus in Kansas, in
the last five months there has been the most severe
than 10000 cases as compared with the previous high
total of 22.464 cases during 1917
Many health officers reported so to 100 per cent
increase in the number Of Of pneumonia and of
bronchitis, and there also reports of increased
infections of SinuSeS and the throat.
Hospitals reported an increased number of infec-
lions of nose throat and lungs Since the germs were
not found in the dust however, it is reasonable to
believe that effects of the dust largely irritation
and damage to the tissues permitting germs already
present to bring about infection.
Health officers of Kansas are convinced that dust
proofing of homes and wearing of masks are essen
tia to comfort and welfare of individuals living in
the dust area when dust storms occur
