SYZYGY RIDES EXPLAIN LOSS OF MODEL HORSE Washington State College, Apr. 6— I he famous Asculus Hippocantanus of the forestry department disappeared Monday, March 21, and has not been heard from since. Suitable reward has been offered by the head of the de partment for his safe return. Said Asculus was gentle, of kind dis position, and composed mostly of wood, cloth, excelsior and tin. He is extreme 1\ fat, having a stomach composed of two large barrels, lie is dead black in color, has one glass eye, and is branded \I1 on the north hip. He escaped with the pack saddle and left the pack be hind, but no tracks are visible. It is supposed that some of the new “frat" members have been indulging in min night rides during the syzvgy. \sculus was t'irst brought to the Northwest by Yakari Shirato, a Japan ese student, about two years ago and has since been used as a model to show the amateur foresters how to pack with diamond hitches of all" sorts. Though only a wooden migrainous, cyelopean. II ippocanstanus, the forestry department had become very much endeared to him, hence they mourn his departure and offer rewards for his return. Captain Lyle thick, captain of tin. Washington State College baseball team, will not be eligible to play this spring, owing to the fact that he has more than the permitted number of "D’s" in his subjects. Idle Hougluiut game scheduled this morning between the Dormtory Club and the l aw ah c lub was postponed on account of the rain. It will be played the first good and convenient day next , week. ENGINEERS MAKE IESI ON EUGENE SAWMILL I Instruct Owners How to Increase Efficiency by Twenty five Per Cent. 1 lmrsday afternoon C. W. Converse and his classes in steam engines and boil ers,, and in prime movers m.uie a test on an engine at the Eugene saw mill, back of Skinner's Imtte. ibis was done at the request of the mill management, who could not get enough power out of their engine to cut through the largest logs. hirst, the students installed their in dicator and found the horse power re quired to run the shafting, carriage, saw, and auxiliaries. I hen they ran logs through, increasing them in size until the engine practically stopped on the largest. A maximum indicated horse power of 150 was obtained, at which time the engine was running at 178 revolu tions per minute. The engine was rated at ~~5 revolutions per minute, and the size of the fly wheel and pulley on the main shaft should have been so ar ranged that it would he running at this speed at maximum load. Mr. Converse recommended that they make either the fly wheel on the engine smaller or the pulley on the shaft larger. By doing this they could increase the effective horse power at least J5 per cent. He also recommended that they carry a higher boiler pressure, which would in crease their power live or ten per cent. " 1 his shows, said Mr. Converse to the students, on their return, "what a little expert knowledge will sometimes EMPLOYMENT BUREAU WILL BE ENLARGED '1 he employment bureau of the Y. M. I C.

During the seven months of school, more than $500 worth of work has been I provided for the students of tne sciiooi. 1 he work has not been very well or ganized heretofore, but with the- begin ning of the association year, April 1st, C.

He is making a can j \ ass among the business concerns of the | city for employment, and also among the students for the names and address es of those who desire work. Any man who is looking for something to do in his odd hours this spring will probably be able to lind what he wants by con ferring with C. L. Stoddard, or by call ing at the Y. M. C.
