place. There is a clearing house
for illnesses and indispositions on
the campus—the University health
service.
If you don’t bcieve it, there are
figures to prove it. The university
health service again has proved it
self indispensable to the welfare of
the university. During the month
of February the dispensary cared
for approximately 2,500 visits for!
treatment. Of this number 08 were
members of the faculty, and 21 were
employees of the health service. To
be exact, the percentage of visits,
based on a registration in the uni
versity of 2,699 students, is 92 per
cent, making an average number of
115 visits a day for the first 22 days
in February.
Eighty of the number who visited j
the dispensary were sent to the in-1
firmary for further treatment. These j
80 were kept in the infirmary for
-l.il days altogether, making an
average of 5.4 days per patient. The
average number of patients in the
infirmary and Thacher cottage per
day was 15.4. These figures wore
obtained using 28 days as a basis.
The percentage of students in tho
infirmary for the month was 2.9
per cent.

Tom Blankenburg Tells Experiences

“The American Olympic team,”
lie says, “consisted of a large num
ber of officials and a few athletes.
The officials took up most of tho
available room on the boat; and the
athletes, who didn’t count for very
much, were crowded in the corners.”
There is an opinion going the
rounds at present that the reason
the American runners did not fare
so well in the games is that they
weTe fed too well. This, however,
is a mistaken idea, Blankenburg
says. “The American athletes were
given a menu with five articles on
it,” he states. “These articles con
sisted only of the coarsest of food.
'Die officials, however, had a menu
with one hundred articles from
which to make their choice and
never failed to make tho most of
it.
“The captain’s formal dinner,
held every Friday evening, was at
tended by the athletes in full sweat
uniforms. The Long Island duck,
served on these state occasions, was
in reality Atlantic sea gull, or at
least something closely approximat
ing it.”
1 he prevalent idea that all the
Hollanders wear wooden shoes is
ilso a mistaken one, according to
Blankeuburg. Only the lowest class
>f people wear this sort of shoes.
Fhe Hollanders dress about the same
rs Americans.
The American visitors searched
til through Holland for a good
ooking woman and finally found
>nc. (She was an Austrian). The
jobbed-haired bandit idea, once pre
valent here, is carried out very suc
•essfully there. An American news
'aper correspondent was held up and
ebbed of $.'150 by two Hutch
vomcii with wooden shoes.

ou the canals in barges; a small

eight. Blankenburg says that the
, population of Holland is about six
millions, aud about four million
bicycles are ridden.
The Dutch go in for music more
than any other form of amusement.
Swimming is their national sport;
they are also fond of gymnastics.
“The men learn to smoke at the
age of four, and we were beset by
hundreds of small kids of about this
age who ran up and said, ‘cigar
ette.’ They learn this word, it
seems, before they learn to say
‘ mama. ’
“Pride does ltot seem to be a vir
tue of the Dutch waiters and’taxi
cat> drivers, who ask for a tip when
they have performed any service.
If they do not think the tip they
get is large enough, they ask for
more.
“The Holland bus drivers seem
to have the same ideas about the
right-of-way as our own drivers.
They drive along the narrow streets i
knocking bicycle riders right and
left.”
Blankenburg tells of an experi- j
enoe of his which occurred while he j
was riding a bicycle in one of tile
parks. There were Dutch signs all
around which said, “Do Not Ridel
Bicycles in Park.” He was accosted;
by an officer, who said, in fair
enough English, “You’re under ar-1
rest for riding in the park.” Bian
kenburg said, “N0 spik English”!
and .jumped on his bicycle and rode
away, leaving the officer standing
open-mouthed.
“Although mashers are continual

they could twine a mere man around

man, and she dragged him into the j
