PH Jane -- Campus Slang : Changes Fast See Current Examples at Tor- onto University At least a third of college vocabd- ulary is slang, concludes "The Var. eity," University of Toronto under- . graduate nespaper, after a survey of campus speech, And the slang comes into style and goes out of it faster than fem- {nine fashions. For example, "mug- ' ging," whi h was in every Varsity student's conversational repertoire a few' years ago, has been success. fully superseded by. necking, spark. fng and pitching-woo, ("The Var- sity" neglects to make it clear just which expression is "the" one of the current season.) : "Picklepuss," "Bag", "0.K. Judy" Varsity co-eds have some favor- te descriptions for unfavored men' of their acquaintances: "Drips," "frizzle-puss," "droopy-drawers", . "dimewit," "picklepuss," "screw- ball," To express digust, some of the students fair have one some- what enfeebled word: «Fluff, To express surprise, a comparatively new ejaculation is "Great Caesar's suspenders." Wyclifo men go "gonking" it they take a girl to park in a car, somewhere. A "wail" is a girl who has been "stood up." A "Joe" is a swell fellow, -- Just a few more Varsily-lsms: A bag -- a girl with a sense of hum- or; a frail -- an insipid girl; an 0.K. Judy -- an allright girl. _ T.B. Took Equal Number Of Lives During the Years of the First Great War -- It's Still Can- 5 ada's No. 1 Enemy wd Dr. D. W, Crombie, medical sup- erintendent of the Queen Alexand- Ta Sanatorium, London; Ontarlo, . last week pointed 'out that in the. war of 1014.18, tuberculosis was the cause of a great'deal of illness and put a heavy burden on the peo- me of Canada in the cost of treat: nt-and pensions. - Appealing for the widest possible support of efforts to discover tub- erculosis In its early stages, Dr. Cromble stated that tuberculosis is still Canada's No. 1 enemy from flie standpoint of disease, It actual- ly stands in seventh place as the cause of death in the Dominion, but those deaths, mainly, occur In the 20 to 35 years age group. 2,000,000 Succumb: Every Year "In the old World War, sonle i pine million people were killed or .. world, died -of tuberculosis. dled of battle wounds. An equal dumber, throughout the civilized And they are and have been dying at + that rate, which ia something over 2,000,000 people every year."

At. a recent Women's" Institute cone vention it was proposed that every member. should write down the history of their parents, and, if possible, their grandparents. This would accomplish a great deal in preserving data, and we would add that some of the tales that have been told us of the deeds done by our forebears should eslso be incorporated. Our recent pioneer story competition brought forth a great deal of interesting lore of early days on the Bruce Penin- sula; which is now available for the files of historians.-- Canadian Echo (Wiarton).

It takes up moisture very rapidly and tends to form a sticky nfass. It is neut- ral in reaction, ! f Sulphate of ammonia is the next highest nitrogen carrier, carying about 20.5% nitrogen. This is definitely acid in its re- action. There is a combined ,concen- trate known as ammo-phos which carries 11% nitrogen and 48% phosphoric acid. = Nitrate of soda carries about 15% nitrogen. } . As to phosphoric acid thas are 16% and 20% grades which carry 16 or 20% available. phos- phoric acid respectively. The com- bined form ammo-phos to which I referred above, carries 48% available phosphoric acid. "As to potash, a common form, muriate, carries 650 to 52% pot- ash and sulphate carvying 48 to 50% potassium, : Potassium nitrate carrying ap- proximately 44% potash and 16% nitrogen was on the market some: tire ago.
