FOR THE LOWLY SUM OF TEN CENTS, EACH AND
every summer school student may attend the first all university party,
10 De neia at the coliseum Friday, June 19. This is
only the beginning, as a party has been planned for
every Friday for the duration of the summer session.
These affairs have proved themselves great successes
in the past, as those who have attended them will tes
tify, and should prove a welcome relief from the hum
drum activity of school day life, especially with the
mercury rising, as it seems to be doing in spite of fer-
vcnu pKxyeia w me contrary, uated or dateless as the
case may be, put your books out of sight, don your
T) hot weather dance clothes and enjoy the first eddy of
the summer social whirl!

FOOTNOTES
Did you graduate with honors?
wen, see to it that vour skin does
Treat it kindly, as you would your
professor. It too has a share in
your future. Treat it harshly and
ii win marK you down for care
lessness, neglect and failing to
study beauty. Your professor can
mark you down for neglect, but
at least you won t have to adver
tise your laziness or preoccupation
to the world. Complexion marks
are visible to anyone who cares to
look at you.
And a bad complexion is so un
necessary! Think back over this
year s course in beauty care and
you will be surprised at the ease
with which you can keep and de
velop beauty. Here is the outline
to help you review.
1. You must cleanse and wash.
2. you must nourish.
3. You must tone the skin with
an astringent.
inere are only three steps to
your daily beauty treatment and
really, there is no reason why you
should not be able to remember
them. Washing and cleansing,
I'm sure you remember. If you
use pasteurized face cream to
cleanse with, it will also nourish
your skin and keep it soft and
silky in texture. In addition, you
have only to use a herbal tonic
or a milky skin toning lotion m
have your face as well cared for
as the Dionne quintuplets.
A foundation for your makeup
is, I should think, a matter of
course. It not only protects vour
complexion against the coarsen
ing effects of sun and wind, but
also serves to keep makeup on in
finitely longer. Pasteurized face
cream, which is practically a
treatment in itself, can also be
used as a foundation if you have
no other. Or if your skin is oilv.
the skin toning lotion makes a
fine powder base.
Of course, up to now the diffi
culty of avoiding a sunburn was
very considerable. You could oil
yourself up like a ancient poten
tate of the east and consequently
iry in your own juice. Or vou
could make your daytime appear
ances only in full rig large sun
umbrella, slacks and long sleeves.
But today all this is chaneed.
There's a sun-tonic just out that's
a lotion, not an oil. It isn't creasy
and it doesn't stain clothes; so
you can put it on at home just
like any other lotion, sally forth
to the golf links or tennis courts
quite normal in appearance yet
fully protected from the sun.

EFFICIENCY OF PLANTS
TO PROTECT SOIL
(Continued from Page 1).
man find it out, he would soon
become the destr yer he likes to
be, to his own great harm. We
only know that on every bare and
neglected spot where it is possible
for seed to lodge or root to hold.
the weed appears and lustily
seizes the bare spot. Soon verdure
shows, the soil is held together,
and nitrogen is coaxed from the
air and distributer1 about the roots,
When later the leaves and stalks
decay in the fall a little topsoil
is createa. In time enough is
created to afford life to finer
plants as the soft grasses. Thus
the wound is healed."
In order to test the efficiency o
weeds and cultivated crops in hold
ing the soil. Dr. Weaver and
Kramer devised a method of se
curing samples of undisturbed field
soil with crops uninjured and in
all stages of development. The
samples were 40 inches long, 20
inches wide and 4 inches deep and
weignea iyu to 200 pounds. Sam
pies were taken in pairs and trans
ported to a washing rac': with a
slope of 10 degrees. Plants were
then removed from one sample,
after clipping closely to the soil
surface, but left intact in the
other. Time required to erode the
soil of the two samples under the
same conditions of very heavy
artiricai raintail. or water erosion
from an open hose was determined.
Using this method of determin
ing the protective qualities of
vegetation, the university scien
tists found that compared with
native grasses, mature plants of
fields held the soil much less
firmly. Garden crops were even
less efficient.
"The most striking feature of
all was the remarkable manner in
which the tops of plants protected
the surface of the soil," says Dr.
Weaver. "It was not so much the
soil binding effect of the rooLs
that produced the utmost protec
tion, but the plant cover which
did not permit most of the water
to coins in direct contact with the
soil." In attempting to erode a
test plot of wheat, the investiga
tors found that even after an
unusually heavy rain, tho the plant

stems were bent almost to the
ground, the run off water was
practically clear, since the heavy
deluge, owing to the protecting
plant cover, was allowed to reach
the ground only in light trickles.
The writers also founJ that
while wheat forms an excellent
protection for the soil during its
period of maximum development,
it is not as good as a permanent
cover like alfalfa or brome grass
which clothes the ground thruout
a noriod of vears. Even frozen
tops of alfalfa, fallen debris from
former cuttings etc., have high
protecting qualities.
Corn Gives No Resistance.
An examination of corn showed
that the root system of this plant
gave practically no resistance to
erocion until brace roots began to
dovelon after midsummer, lnus
durin0 May end June when the
ground is kept cultivated and the
plants are small, heavy seasonal
rains cause much damage. Fre
quently, Dr. Weaver points out,
more than half of the total sea
sonal erosion occurs in June alone.
The total effectiveness of corn as
a protector of the soil is probably
decreased where the crop is grown
in hills rather than in drilled rows.
Here is another suggestion
which the bulletin emphasizes.
Heading the grain is preferable to
binding the crop, and after thresh
ing, stacking the straw. Letting
the stubble stand hinders erosion,
but burning aids it. And similarly,
letting the cornstalks remain and
and the fallen leaves etc.. accumu
late as litter, is preferable to cut
ting and shocking the corn.
The actual dry weight of. roots
and other living underground parts
of scores of field samples was de
termined. In this work alone more
than 1-50 of an acre of soil was
washed away. It was found that
native upland prairie had 3.3 tons
and lowland 4.1 tons per acre of
such roots and fiber in the surface
4 inches. Mature wheat had only
16 percent as much, sweet clover
18 percent, and even 4-year old al
falfa with its heavy taproot only
43 percent of this amount. Brome
grass ranked highest (48 percent)
and was also the best soil protec
tor except the native grasses.
Both the farmer and the city
gardener will find the following
summarized results of the various
tests of real interest:
