The Sydney University students' turnout on Wednesday was further confirmation that there ls nothing new under the sun. The ideas wero about as old as the ramshackle vehicles groups of thom rode In. There was the usual asaortJv.ent of masks, tho Inevitable green whlskors, knights on brokMi-wlndod horses, flremon who rimilrted water on those of tho crowd within rung?, and cardboard trumpets supplied tho »oise that heralded the approach of the pro

oesBlon to the oity. It is true that a band oapable of harmony marched at the head, but lt was inaudible through the disoord.

Thero wore furniture vans, old-time coaohoa, motor oars, lorries, and a weird-looking Svengali rode in a hansom, A few walked. Ono of these was got up as the Federal Capital bird, of the emu order, and desperate efforts woro made by a student to lassoo lt. But the bird was true to Federal history. A trio of peduB

triauB had labelled themselves "Yellow Peril," "to-GaBte Stoker," and "Prohibited Immigrant." The Lascar progressed at a Jog-trot, and as each foot touched the ground he sounded a motor car hooter. More than ono devil, wearing tho rod garb of Mephistopheles, and carrying pronged forks, found his way Into a vehicle. One of thoso was engaged part of tho time on route prodding a priest, who with a nun rodo In a dogcart. "Thlm bo Divinity

As might have been expected, Dr. Asplnall's casó was treatod, Two brawny students, In nurse's costume, wulkod, bearing a banner, with tho words on lt, "Lady dootors; then why not men

nursos!"
