COEDS TO PRESENT SPRING PAGEANT MAY 24 junior at Rebecca Anthony, a the | Northwestern university, is author of the annual spring pageant that has been chosen by the Woman's league at Northwestern university. The pageant will be given May 24. It has been written in verse form and parts of it have been set to music. | The title of the piece is "A Forest Frolic."

The esthetic dancing, group as well as solo dances, will be under the direction of Miss Baker of the physical education department of Northwestern university.

Should two twelve-cyl-' inder engines be used the total num- ber of sparks will then be 25,920,000. | The confident dependence of Mr.! Hawker on his magnetos is not to be wondered at when it is recalled that every airplane engine in the world, with the exception of one type, 1s magneto-equipped, and the magneto has proved itself ideal for the difficult airplane services requir- 'ed in actual warfare. He cannot un- | der any circumstances afford to take chances of failure when all else is at' stake. He has to have absolutely de- | pendable ignition, which will never | miss fire or go dead.
