FOR BUSINESS DEPARTMENT.
Man From South Dakota Here To See About Vacancy.
As soon as it became known that Prof. Crain of the business depart- ment would sever his connections with the University this spring, num- erous applications began to come in for this position. The trustees have not yet taken any action on the mat- ter. Prof. E. E. Chaffee, the present principal of the business department of Huron College, S. D., was here this Week to make personal application for the place.
Prof. Chaffee is a of Wheaton College in Illinois and has done post graduate work in the Uni- versity of Chicago. He has had ten years of experience teaching. This department 1 sfl cmfwy mfw cmfwcm preparation should make him a com- petent instructor.
The short courses as offered now sha 1 be retained, but hereafter a commercial course like that of the first class high schools will be offered to academy
students. An academic graduate in this course will have from ten to thirteen college units de- pending on the number of electives taken. The course will be conducted by tbe instructors in the academy and in the business department. Another teacher will be added to the business
graduate
department. Seniors who are well enough qualified may take charge of some of the classes in the business de- partment.
MR. ALDRICH HERE.
National Student Volunteer Worker Visited Ottawa This Week.
Guy V. Aldrich, traveling secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement, was in Ottawa Tuesday and Wednes- day in the interests of the movement. With him Tuesday evening and Wed- nesday was Charles W. Whitehair, state student secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
Tuesday afternoon Mr. Aldrich held a conference with the joint mission- ary committee of the Christian asso- ciations, and Tuesday evening both he and Mr. Whitehair met with the volunteer band at the home of Dr. Price. In chapel Wednesday morn- ing Mr. Aldrich gave a short pointed address on "The Plan of God in a Man's Life,' 'and in Philal hall in the evening he gave another strong mis- sionary address to a good audience of students.
Wednesday afternoon the Y. M. C. A. cab'net met in conference with the secretaries, and during their stay here a number of private interviews with them were arranged for students de- siring to talk with them on matters
relating to their life work. After the meeting Wednesday evening another conference with the volunteer band was held, at which were present a number interested in missionary act- ivity.
From here the visitors went to Em- poria to hold similar conferences.
TO DEBATE OLATHE.
Freshman Class Receive Challenge From High School Team. President Hickey, of the Freshman class, received a letter Monday from the principal of the Olathe high school, requesting a debate with the freshmen sometime before May 20.
The Olathe team arranged for a debate with a neighboring high school and have prepared on the affirmative of the question "Resolved, That boards of arbitration with compulsory powers should be established by the states for the settlement of disputes between employers and laborers." The other team called the debate off, and as Olathe wished to hold a de- bate for the benefit of a newly-organ- ized club, they sent the communica- tion to the Ottawa freshmen. The freshmen voted to accept, and Chair- man Elder, of their debate committee, is now in correspondence with the Olathe school.
A preliminary will be held to select the Ottawa team, if the contract for the debate is made.

Sporting goods firms throughout the country have filed a protest with the commission complaining of the low tariff on base- balls made in Japan. With the low cost of raw material and the cheap la- bor available, the Japanese, it is claimed, are able to manufacture base. balls, all duties paid, and sell them at wholesale in San Francisco or Seat- tle for 90 cents a dozen, while the covers alone cost the American deal- ers 50 cents a dozen. It is said that no legislation will be enacted this session on the baseball tariff. but Rep- resentative Kahn of California will

GOOD Y. M. MEETING.
Mr. Elder Led a Discussion on "The New Birth."
The Y. M. C. A. meeting last Sunday morning was led by Jesse Elder, the subject being, "The New Birth." In his discussion the leader sought to bring out the facts that there are no restrictions placed on admission to the Kingdom of God, that the Kingdom is not intended in any way to hamper a man's powers, but rather to en- hance them, and that the new birth is birth into service. The meeting was a very interesting and profitable one, though the attendance was not large.
An able leader has been secured for the meeting tomorrow morning, and all the boys are urgently request- ed to be present.

CHINESE CENTER OF INDUSTRY
Fan-Making Is the Principal Business Carried On in Village of Pengchow.
Writing of fan making in southern China, the American consul at Swatow says:
"This industry was started cen- turies ago in the village of Pengchow, at Ampow, about three miles from Swatow. It was formerly confined to women in various households, but for many years past every family in the village has been devoted to the work, all the members of the families being occupied in the manufacture. In the city of Chaochowfu itself the fan in- dustry is also large, but the Peng- chow district abounds in a particular kind of bamboo especially suitable for the ribs and handle, and to this fact is the large output of the latter place attributed.
"Only the open fan is manufactured in this district. For the frame the split bamboo is repeatedly rived until each piece is sufficiently slender and flexible. These thread-like pieces of bamboo are arranged in a row, at- tached to each other by a thread passed crosswise through the middle. This thread is fastened to a semicir- cular strip of bamboo giving the fan its shape. The ribs are then slightly heated and bent at the ends. The fan has now the peculiar and characteristic shell-like shape at the top. Very flimsy silk gauze is then pasted on the face, and a kind of tis- sue-like paper on the back. After the handle is attached the border of the fan is black varnished and the gauze is coated with a chalk and water mix- ture. The handles are made of bam- boo, various kinds of hard wood, bone and ivory. The hand painting on the fans is cleverly done, in some instan- ces being a work of art.
Hypnotism and Will Power.
People used to think that persons who could be hypnotized were defi- cient in will power, that it was some .. thing of a stigma on their mental equipment. The experts know better now. A writer in the Woman's Home Companion goes so far as to say that the more will power a person has the more readily he can be hypnotized.
Dr. Voisin, a French alienist, found that he could not hypnotize more than ten per cent. of the inmates of the asylum with which he was connected. Whereas an English experimenter named Vincent hypnotized with ease ₱6 per cent. of a large group of uni- versity men.

CAME THROUGH DEATH VALLEY
Only Recorded Instance Where a Man Has Successfully Crossed Dread Spot on Foot.
Death valley is the most barren art of the great American desert. fore men have died in its arid wastes han any other equal area of the world's surface, harring the great bat- le fields. It lies, a great sink in the andy plain, about 250 miles north and ast of Los Angeles, Cal., and within he boundaries of that state. The alley received its sinister name owing o the fact that in the early '50's a arty of emigrants, some 220 in num- er, traveling overland hy wagon from alt Lake City, Utah, to Los Angeles, erished in its awful solitudes, barely man escaping.
In the Wide World Magazine is giv- n the story of a man who, alone and naided, conquered Death valley in ne hottest month of the desert year. 'he tale of awful suffering endured y this man, W. W. Manton, of Rhyo- te, Cal., is told for the first time in is own words.
For almost a week Manton was lost : the heart of Death valley. In three ays he tramped 80 miles over sands o hot that he could scarcely walk on lem, though shod with heavy shoes. uring those never-ending days he ad no food and hut one drink of ·ater.
