NOTE TAKING IDEAS
LONDON. (OP)—Members of Par
liament are individualistic in the
nanner of note taking. Llyod
orge has an odd way of - jotting
pwn notes. He does not write on
knees. He holds the sheets up
^tually above the level of his eyes
painstakingly jots down his
kemoranda. The method seems ex-
lemely uncomfortable and weari-
bme but the Liberal leader has fol
f>wed this method for years—40 to
exact.

Missionary Gives Very Gruesome
Death Report, Says Equal
Number Will Perish
SHANGHAI. (UP)—Unrestricted
cannibalism, highways congested
with bodies of famine victims, 2,-
000,000 dead and 2,000,000 dying were
reported in stories recounted here
Tuesday of the starvation and ex-
posure that have scourged the popu-
lace of Shensi, Kansu and Shansi
Prividences of China.
Crops failed last year, said Mis-
sionary George Andrews and with
nothing planted, the coming year
probably will be one of the worst
in China's history of plagues and
famine.
Mr. Andrews said he saw suffer-
ers on many occasions carve flesh
from the dead and eat it. Brought
before authorities, one starving man
demanded:
"Why should I be punished for
eating what dogs are eating?”
Officials have abandoned efforts
to prevent cannibalism.

M. U. Male Students Are
Spending More For Books
Than On Tobacco
Dallas, Tex. (UP)—Less than half
the men students at Southern Meth-
odist university smoke and twice as
large a sum is spent for reading
matter as for nicotine, a survey con-
ducted by President Charles C.
Selecman revealed.
Cigarettes represent an annual
Item of $29,710.80 for the 1179 men
students, while $55,354.05 is spent
for books and magazines the statis-
tics revealed.
Sweets—cold drinks and candy
are two and a half times as popu-
lar as smokes, representing an an-
nual expenditure of $71,305.92.
Fifty-six per cent do not use to-
bacco in any form, while less than
44 per cent do, according to Dr.
Selecman’s figures. This means
that of the 1179 students, 660 are
non-smokers, while 519 indulge.
The average for smokes per stu-
dent Is ten cents a day, or less than
the average price of a package of
cigarettes.

GOOD GAS SERVICE
and a COLD WAVE
The continual cold weather experienced
during January gives you an opportunity to
judge the ability of your natural gas service
to meet “peak Load” demands.
The fact that there was plenty of gas at
your burner tips was not just a happen so.
It was the result of the expenditure, year in
and year out, of thought, effort and money.
AH this with but one purpose—THAT
YOU MAY HAVE GAS WHEN YOU
MOST NEED IT.
