CALHOUN One of the last acts of the state senate this year was to pass a resolution giving to the University of South Caro lina library a portrait of John C. Cal houn which has hung for many years in the senate lobby. The portrait, which was originally given the senate by the William Childs family of Columbia, will be hung in the main room of the historic University li brary building. CRAMPS Swimmers who wish to avoid the cramps this summer can try one of the two sure-fire methods that used to be in vogue in South Carolina. These methods are described by John Hawkins in his "Magical Medical Prac tices in South Carolina", a copy of which is in the University of South Carolina lbrary. And "magical" indeed is these methods' simplicity for it is "only necessary to wear garters of ell-skin or to invert the sufferer's shoes under his bed at night." MATH Dean of administration John A. Chase, Jt. anounced recently that mathematics credits had been removed from the re (uirement list for students wishing to cnter the school of commerce at the Uni versity. The department of mathematics at the University will offer certain courses dur ing the 1938-39 session designed especial ly for students enrolled in the school of commerce. ACCIDENT Discovery of anti-knock motor fuel for autos came about as an accident, when a chemist cut his linger, declared Dr. G. F. Linscomb, head of the chem istry department at the University of South Carolina to one of his classes. The chemist, working with the gaso line, cut his finger and disinfected it with iodine. When he put his hands back into the fluid, some of the iodine was dissolved, and caused the gasoline to stop knocking in the motor. Although iodine could not be used for this purpose because of its harmful ef feet on the cylinder walls of the motor, it gave chemists the clue for which they were looking. Bromine, an element sim ilar to iodine in many respects, is now used in conjunction with other substances 10 Hour Law SPECIAL RATEl When Left Al TAKEN UP 8 A. M. 12 A. M.

Bonn of the University of South Carolina history department said recently. We entered the last war "to end war' -and there hasn't been a year of peace since, he said.
