Thienes is back on the campus carry ing 14 hours work. He still wears crutches, but in a few months more he expects to be walking like any other healthy person. He was in the hospital for six months undergoing three differ ent operations. He now weighs 25 pounds more than he did before the oper ations. Will Rebec was not so lucky as his classmate Thienes. The shock of the first operation made him so weak that when the time for the second arrived, he was barely able to live. At present Rebec is lying in St. Vin cents hospital at Portland awaiting the day when he can come back to the Uni versity. lie is able to read very little and is forced to lie on his back day after day. It will be two months at least before he will be able to return. CIGARETTES TO BE BARRED Students’ Co-operative Store Will Proba bly Refuse to Handle Them.

Charles Chaplin, in his latest eomedy entitled “One A. M.,” which will be shown at the Savoy theatre today pre sents pn the screen a large number of things that he did not learn from a correspondence school. The story of “One A. M.,” which deals with Chaplin’s adventures in the home of a bachelor friend whose hobby is col lecting stuffed animals, in itself is ex cruciatingly funny, but when combined with the art of the comedy star it be comes a continuous laugh. Charles does a series of his protesque . falls when he steps on a rug, laid on a highly polished floor. Picking himself up, he finds himself with his hand in the mouth of a verocious tiger, while the glazing eyes of a lynx gaze at him. The floor is covered with skins of wild animols, and Charles imagines himself in a jungle of ferocious beasts, for the walls are adorned with trophies of the chase and stuffed animals of every species.—Advertisement.
