ALKING TIGERS HERE FOR DEBATE TONIGHT
Question of Recall of "Hia Honor" to be Decided in Fraser
(By Elysia Davidson)
With its tail knotless for five years, the Tiger debating team arrives in Lawrence today for the fourteenth tangle with the Jayhawkers. Possessed with the feeling that judges should be recalled, the Oreaders, Milton Minor and Allen Wilber, will step upon the platform of the chapel this evening at 8 o'clock in Fraser hall. Long practice with knotty tales makes the Kansans confident that the caudal appendage of the jungle cat from Columbia, is due to receive a double, reverse loop.
W. L. Root, a junior academic,
and L. M. Drum, a student
in the department of agriculture will
represent Missouri. These men have
already been victorious in two
debates this year.
The judges of the debate this evening are, John G. Park, city counselor of Kansas City, and Davis Barton, an editorial writer for the Kansas City Star. Chancellor Strong will preside.
EED THE HUNGRY IS THE COMMANI
Honorable Frank L. Martin Says Domesticity is the Best Policy
(By Lucy A. Barger)
"As to choosing an occupation," said Hon. Frank, L. Martin of Hutchinson speaking in chapel this morning, on, "The Pursuit of Happiness." "I can tell you young women in a very short time what yours is. Somewhere in the good book it is written 'feed the hungry'; that is the best advice I can give you, and" he continued "young men I know of no better to give you." Mr. Martin emphasized necessity for your education, so an occupation that will produce something for the benefit of humanity, of choosing an independent occupation. "There is no such thing as making men and women independently by law," he declared, "just now obedience to law is far more important than law making." "Above all your occupation must be an honest one," said Mr. Martin taking from his pocket a clipping from a recent issue of the Daily Kanan regarding dishonesty in weights and measures found by state officials. "This is one of the best headliners I have seen for some time, but after the state gets all these scales fixes up perfectly honest, I am thinking."
"This is one of the state leaders I have seen for some time, but after the state gets all these scales fixed up perfectly honest, I am thinking it will have to employ officers to watch the men use the scales."
In conclusion Mr. Martin said, "I have always found that honesty is best olicity even in my business," and Mr. dartin is a lawyer.

JANE ADDAMS WILL
TALK AT BOWERSOCK
Founder of Hull House to Discuss Industrial Questions Monday, May 6
SUFFRAGE WITHDRAWS CLAIMS
Women of Lawrence Will Hold General Meeting For All Citizens Of The City.
Jane Addams, who comes to Lawrence, Monday, May 6, will speak to the citizens of Lawrence, at 8 o'clock in the Bowersock Theater, on industrial questions connected with social settlement work.
(By Helen R. Hoopes)
Since Miss Addams will arrive late Monday afternoon, there is no opportunity for a suffrage address and a general meeting, as was planned first. In order that the men, as well as the women, may have a share in welcoming Miss Addams, the Douglas Equal League has withdrawn its claims in favor of the women of Lawrence who will have charge of the lecture.
To form a committee to make final arrangements for Miss Addass's visit one representative will be appointed from each woman's organization in Lawrence and at the University. This will include the Federation of Women's Clubs, and all other literary clubs, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Women's Relief Corps, the Equal Suffrage League, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and the women of the G. A. R. At the University, the women's organizations will be represented, the ladies of the faculty, the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, the Women's Student Government Association, the Young Women's Association, the Women's Athletic Association and the College Equal Suffrage League.
Mr. Bowersock has offered the committee the use of the new theater for its opening season.
REFUSE TO GIVE "BILLY"
An important meeting of the committee will be held on Monday, April 29 at 3:45 o'clock, at the home of Dr. Robin, to complete the arrangements.
Thespians Say That Girls Can't be Heard in Gymnasium.
(By Helen Degen)
The Thespians have decided not to give "Billy" for the entertainment of high school visitors, May 4, because the girls could not be heard in the gymnasium and expenses would be too great to give it in the Bowersock theater.
All of the thirty-five students who were recently expelled from the University of Arkansas for publishing the "X-Ray," have been reinstated.
At the meeting held in Fraser hall last night, the following officers were elected for the coming year:
PURSUES KNOWLEDGE DESPITE INJURIES
Clarence R. Sowers, president;
George Staton, vice president; Margaret Roberts, secretary and treasurer; Russel Clark, manager.
Glen Pyle, Chemical Engineer Had Bad Fall at St.Louis Iron Works
CHEMISTRY AND POLITICS MIX
"Holy Smoke, my house is on fire!" yelled Professor Humble this morning as Fire Chief Reinsch and a squad of his trusty firemen charged past the Law building to the wild accompaniment of clanging bells and screaming sirens.
Professor Humble lately built him a cozy nest on the hill overlooking the engineering building and when the fire-fighters flew past the Law building, he immediately conjectured an awful scene of his house on fire, his wife and son in the flames, and his domestic felicity and happiness forever gone.
He summoned his entire clas
K. U. Engineers and Republican State Convention are Headliners at Planters Hotel.
The following despatch was received this morning from the Daily Kansan's correspondent with the chemical engineers on their inspection tour.
St. Louis, Mo., April 24, Arrived in St. Louis 8:30 this morning. We proceed at once to the Republic Stee and Iron works. It was a great sight, watching the transformation of raw iron into railroad rails, spikes, etc. In the afternoon, we made a thorough inspection of the Lacede gas company, which furnishes all the artificial gas used in St. Louis.
Along with our chemical work, we are being introduced to a new subject, that of politics. The republican state convention is being held at the Planter hotel, and so we are surrounded on all sides by windy arguments.
One of our number, Glen Pyle, received a painful injury during the visit to the iron works. Slipping on an iron red he fell, cutting a bad gash in his foot. He says that it will take more than fall to stop his test for knowledge.
PROFESSOR HUMBLE CALLS THE LAWS TO FIRE-DRILL
It takes a long trip like this to show up the men who are not always at liberty. Grignard and Malcolmson have been ordering a new dish each meal* orms and fried onions, steaks “a in apples and “smothered.” One week of bliss!
Emile Grignard wishes it to be announced that he brought two large text books in his grip and is working diligently every evening.
We met an ole K. U. student this evei-
ing, Roy Roberts of the Kansas City
Star, who is attending the republican
convention.
Charles Robinson, being curious as to the name of a French dish on the restaurant menu, decided to order some cherry pie. Charles how he liked the bluegrass.
The worst thing we have to contend with is the hoodoo of someone's getting lost. Today Harold Shaw ventured out beyond the life line, requiring the aid of R. K. Bailey to again reach shore.
The class in Suretship had been dozing for some time and their slumbers were rudely disturbed by the invasion of the Lawrence fire crew as they made their way up Oread avenue and sweep through the campus evidently with devastation some domicile near the western edge of the campus limits.
"PAOLA AND FRANCESCA"
AT EXPRESSION RECITAL
The third graduating expression recital of the Fine Arts school was given in Praser hall last evening by Mrs Arthur L. Owen, pianist.
Miss Mitchell read "Paola am Francesca," a four act drama by Stephen Phillips. The great range of emotion portrayed in each character was a test for a reader and Mr. Mitchell gave a dramatic interpretation of the characters. The piano selections by Mrs Owen were well received.
(By Helen Degen)
and tumbled out of a window, followed by a hundred yearling barristers, brave as any who braved death on the Titanic, who were willing to risk life in the attempt to befriend their beloved pedagogue.
The breathless morb torit its way to the scene of the disaster. Half a league, half a league, half a league onward, charged the one hundred. And they kept on charging until they charged as as far as the gymnasium where the reductable fire chief and his trusties were encountered and were eagerly questioned as to the exact locus of the conflagration.
Investigation proved that the wild changing of the bells and the other manifestations usually incident to a fire, were only a part of the little frolic that the jovial chief was having with a lately acquired fire horse.
Professor Humble is a good scout and the class was dismissed for the rest of the hour.

SOPHOMORE HOPP
A SUMMER PARTY
And They Will Sit Out the Dances on the Green Carpeted Campus
(By Beulah Murphy)
Another innovation has struck the University. The sophomore Hopp is to be a summer party. The windows will be thrown open, and best of all the campus in front of Fowler Shops and the gymnasium will be dotted here and there with cozy benches to be used between the dances.
To add another touch of June, light trousers and dark coats will be in order for the men and light summer dresses for the girls. This is the first attempt to make the costing for the sophomore party distinctive. The aim of the management of the Hopp this year is to make the party one of simplicity and elegance and eliminating the checking trouble and the receiving line it will be possible to get in a full 22 dance program. The music will be furnished by Ray Hall's eight piece orchestra.
The opening chorus will be a four strain waltz song, in which Miss Lamb and Mr. Fillmore will take the solo parts. From all indications the song hit will probably be "Isn't He a Handsome Man?"
"The farce material justifies the faith in the sophomore class," said Arvid Fram, today. "In fact the farce apparently good in both voice and acting."
The Hopp is distinctive too in being the only big party during the whole year that is open to everybody in the school.
SENIOR GIRLS ADD TO DORMITORY FUND
Flipping Films Prove a Financial Success—Pledge Is Paid Three Times Over
(By Beulah Murphy)
(By Beulah Murphy)
And still the fund is growing. A the nickel benefit for the Girls' Dor mitory the senior girls earned more than $26,000 plus plaque. The sale of tickets on the campus amounted to $99.10. The Patte Nickel took in $25.55 and the Aurora $26.04, making a total o $145.25. This sum is over and above expenses which were $45.50.
Delpha Johnson, who had charge of the ticket sale, said today, "We tried to keep our expenses as low as possible. When the down town papers refused us free advertising we did without it. Senior girls took the place of the regular ushers, and the boys helped us distribute our post-race tickets at the hotel. The girls made mistakes in the regular ticket takers several times, but they didn't mind that. It was all for a good cause."
The work of John Musselman, Charles Younggreen and Benjamin Leventhal helped greatly in making the evening a financial success.
BRUNO KIESEWETTER TO WED IN WICHITA
In Defiance of Relatives, Will Marry the Girl of His Choice
BRIDE CAME FROM GERMANY
Followed The Man She Loved to Land of Freedom. "I Like Her Courage," Says Bruno
Friends of the late "exchange professor" Bruno Kiesewetter will be interested in knowing that he has received word that his finance, Miss Emmy Herwew, is coming from Germany. The announcement of her coming was quite a surprise to the young professor. They will be married at the residence of I. M. Allen, principal of the Wichita high school, next Monday.
Three years ago, while Herr Kiesewetter was a student in the University of Marburg, Germany, he went into a little confectionery shop to buy some candy. But he saw something sweeter than the candy, and he went again. The attraction which took him so often to the confectionery shop was the sweet girl who sold the candy. She was Miss Herwey, and she was soon Mr. Kiesewetter's fiance.
OF NOBLE BIRTH.
Herr Bruno Kiesewetter is a son of a noble German family, but he imbibed democratic ideas while a student in Marburg.
GOT HELP FROM KANSAS
FROM KANAS.
Fortunately for the young German's schemes, he received an offer to come to America as a new change professor" in the University of Kansas. He has now held the position of teacher of German at the Wichita high school two months, and has given excellent satisfaction.
Strong objections to the match were made by the aristocratic relatives of Herr Kiesewetter.
"I have very much joy because I am soon be a married man," said Hirie Kiesewetter. "You see she has courage," he continued, "for she is coming across the ocean all alone and she earned the money herself. I admire her very much and I think we will have much happiness soon."

"Missly Miss Thermo, said Missley," I wrote. "I'm all up in the air about this Kirmess, aren't you?"
"Well," replied the more conservative Miss Thermo. "last night I was down in the depths, but my spirits seem to be rising now by degrees. I think that by tomorrow when I see the highlands I will visit the Highland lassies, and the Spanish Senoritas, on the campus, I'll be really warmed up about the matter."
