When in the course of human
events, it becomes necessary for
one writer to dissolve the bonds
that separate said writer from
meeting a damnable deadline, this
sort of simpering chatter clacks
off the keys.
Congrats and all that messy
stuff for this Sig Episode: Loren
Calhoun, Bob Hastert, and Ray
Miller are til wearers of the Sig
Up pledge badge. It sez so on this
here publicity release.. . .Rock
ward, b'lecve us, is headed the
flaming fiasco involving Alphy Xi
Delt Frankie Smith and Sip
Eprexy Jackson Busby.... A legal
eaglet from the DU hut fits into
our picture of play for today. The
lad is old "Buck" Johnson who
claims his hunk of jewelry rests
on a dressing table back home in
boomtown Wahoo. But can we
digest a dish like that when we
know he nurses a fondness for a
nurse in this village who was an
Alpha Phi of another season and
is tagged with the name of Janet
Ralston?
Rejected, Not Dejected.
Here's a bliss blister. After
shedding crocodile tears over the
expected drafted departure of
Kappa Sig Jimes Evinger, a battle
scarred veteran of too many ro
mantic antics, Pee Fee Jean Baker
got this telegram from him the
other p. m., after they flunked
him out physically when he was
on the very doorstep of the army
"Hold onto your heart, dear, I've
been rejected but I'm not de
jected!" . . . And Fiji Howard
Mengshoel is going to have to do
more than cook with kerosine to
get ahead in the face of that kind
of competition. . .
A stop over at the Alpha Xi
citadel on the part of Hartzell
Spence gave the babes there quite
a thrill the weak end just passed.
He's the lad . who penciled out
that tip top tale called "One Foot
In Heaven."
Believe It Or Not.
If Ripley played on our team
we'd toss this item on his spindle:
Richy Seagren, problem child of
the Sig Phoo Epsilon has gone
and gotten himself in love with
the gory details to come later.
We'll always remember Sig Nu
"Blossom" Bloom, the boy who
had his bearings greased before
he went to the IF brawl the other
eve and shortly after intermission
fog horned out the following an
nouncement "Attention please!
All Biz Ad students to bed! .
Coeds May Smoke Tobacco
Hose in Future, Says Science
By Randall Pratt.
The chant of the auctioneer, the
odor of burning cigarettes, or the
acres of tall, green Kentucky bur
ley is brought before one's mind
when the word "tobacco" is used.
To chemists of various univer
sity experiment stations, tobacco
opens a field of commercial possi
bilities that has been only toucnea
in years of experiments.
Perhaps some day that school
girl complexion will be kept with
the "tangy freshness of tobacco
soap" instead of the "delicate frag
rance of violet suds." Yes, it's true
that at the present, the soap that
is made from tobacco smells like
an old corn cob pipe, but the result
may be one of the wonders of
modern science. With tobacco
rayon, a possibility, women may
expect to start wearing tobacco
stockings during the present silk
shortage and perhaps afterwards
also. In case of a run the girls may
Union Reopens
Hobby Workshop
Union Hobby Shop will open
again for a six week period of
activity this afternoon from 4 to
6 p. m. under the direction of Miss
Irma Bush, art department in
structor. The shop, which was open be
fore Christmas, furnishes free
tools and instruction every Tues
day in clay modeling, silk screen
work and block printing. Students
who wish to work on leather tool
ing and hammered pewter may
obtain materials at cost from the
union.
take off their tobacco hose and
smoke them. . .maybe.
More practical side of the to
bacco research is the use of to
bacco In making waterproof stains
for woodwork. In ordinary stains
use now it is necessary to cover
the stain with a protective shellac,
which the new tobacco stain would
not need. Expensive burley would
not be necessary for manufacture
of these stains since a darker and
richer stain is obtained from low
grade tobacco.
Boogie-Man.
Nicotine, boogie-man used to
frighten grade school children out
of smoking, Is used in great quan
tities as a liquid insecticide. Many
well-known brands of "bug-killer"
used by farmers all over the nation
are made of nicotine sulphate.
Nicotinic acid is being used in
flour to furnish vitamin B com
plex, and organic acids, not yet
isolated, are a commercial pos
sibility. Tobacco that had been denicotin
ized could be used to blend with
higher grades to make a smoke
that would not be too expensive
and yet contain less nicotine. After
the tobacco has been processed
until all solubles are out, the re
mainder is ready to be made into
wall board. A light, bluish-gray in
color, the board is sturdy and
light, and excellent for Insulation
purposes.
The hope of bringing up the
price of the lower grades of to
bacco is at the root of the whole
matter. The greater use that is
made of the law grade tobacco and
its by-products will raise the price
and bring more satisfaction to the
grower. '
L. B. Smith Speaks

Dorothy "Dat" Tacgart, a fresh
man from Cody, Wyoming, at
tending Stanford University, re
cently won the title "Gal-doing-the-least-Ietter-writing-in-a-year."
We'll anticipate Bloom's forthcom
ing statement and say, "We're
done now!"
Vitamin Bl Sale Picking Up
In Campus Health Campaign
Vitamin Bl is winning out in
the campaign sponsored by the
Union cafeteria and ag college
cafeteria according to Mrs. Nelle
Oxley, Union cafeteria supervisor.
She reports an increased interest
in vitamin Bl and a greater sale
of wheat germ in the last month.
Vitamin Bl, the "morale" vita
mine, is one of the richest sources
of thiamin. A deficiency will de
velop mental symptoms which be
come progressively more serious
as duration of restriction is con
tinued. If a person shows an inability
to concentrate, irritability, depres
sion, and anxiety, he is suffering
from a deficiency in Bl. Wheat
germ, a remedy for this deciciency
can be eaten plain or mixed with
fruit juice. Other important
sources include whole grain cer
eals and breads, beans, peas, kid
neys, eggs, and peanuts.
Students are urged by the uni
versity cafeteria supervisors to
check their diets to see if vitamin
Bl is lacking, and to start using
wheat germ.
"Be healthy Americans and thu3
aid defense," is the campaign
slogan.
