Severe Loss in Death of Knox
The United States at war lost one of its ablest and most far-sighted military leaders Friday when Col. Frank Knox, Secretary of the Navy, died. Knox will be remembered by Kansans as the running mate of Republican Alf Landon, former governor of Kansas, in the presidential election of 1936; Landon-Knox became a by-word of the Republican party during the months immediately preceding the election.
Knox threw off his political ties in 1940 when President Roosevelt asked him to become Secretary of the Navy. This was in July, immediately following the capitulation of France when it became even more obvious that our country was only temporarily at peace. The job of Secretary of the Navy called for the most able man ever to hold that position in the history of our country because we were on the brink of the greatest conflict.
Knox was not a bureaucrat in any sense of the word. He learned about war the hard way, having ridden with Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders in Cuba in the Spanish-American war and having served in World War I as an artillery officer. He went to see first-hand exactly what problems his navy had to face, speeding to Pearl Harbor the day following the Japanese attack and traveling the various theaters of war, Guadalcanal, the New Hebrides, England, Africa and the Mediterranean.
Possibly because of his experience as a newspaper man, as publisher of the Chicago Daily News, Knox had the ability to see into the future. He preached preparedness for years, noted the approach of the global conflict. As soon as he became chief of the naval forces, he began the job of expanding our inefficient one-ocean fleet to form the greatest armada of the world.
Congress has under discussion the last official suggestion made by Knox before his death. His belief was that the army and navy should be combined and placed under one head to bring about a closer cooperation of the land and sea forces

Where There's a Will, There's a Wave has a new wrinkle for Pahra Rathbun, Foster hall freshman, who believes in greeting people wholeheartedly. Rushing to the window to wave to a friend in the Navy, Phara's hand rushed right on through the glass. Nine sitches closed the resulting gush successfully, but whether the Little Boys Blue are worth the effort is a controversial issue.

The sisters at 1345 West Campus turned literary the other night, and, generally speaking, were generally speaking about the greater poets of the world. Jeanne Faubion, earnest sophomore, suddenly thought of two more. Said Jeanne, "What about Sheats and Kelly?"
Want a Smudge, Pot? The Alpha Delt's slumbered through the night; one or two heard some noises, but nothing irregular. What was a little unusual came when they trooped down to breakfast the next morning, ran out to get the paper, and discovered a smudge pot smouldering smack in the middle of the front porch after burning through the early hours. Who, how, when, and why remain unanswered, but, as Jean Kaufman remarked, "It did keep the mosquitos away."

And a HULUva good time was had by all: The girls on two north had nothing but a hula skirt to start with. And they had to provide part of the last Corbin pajama program. So they previewed one of the wilder night clubs, "The Honolulu High Hat", and knocked 'em in the aisles.

Fine Arts Teachers Will Tour Six Towns
Four members of the faculty of the School of Fine Arts will leave today for a four-day concert tour of six towns in Kansas and Missouri, Dean D. M. Swarthout, announced today.
The group will include Joseph Wilkins, professor of voice; Waldemar Geltch, professor of violin; Jan Chiapuso, professor of piano; and Allie M. Conger, associate professor of piano, who will be the accompanist. The towns to be visited on the tour are: Leavenworth; Warrenburg, Mo.; Nevada, Mo.; Springfield, Mo.; Fredonia; and Hillsboro.
The same group presented a concert yesterday at the high school at St. Joseph, Mo.
Meanwhile Krehb, quick like Superman, replaced the billfold back in M. L. D.'s coatpocket. Dillenbach moped, while villains Davis and Krehbiel smypathized as best they could. At last she decided to search once more, and sheepish pulled out the missing article. Current Corbin question centers around the reception Krehb will get when she returns from New Jersey, for which destination she left for a visit, oddly enough, immediately following the escape.
College junior Harriet Davis and ASC member Ruth Krehbrain may now grin contentedly, and Mary Lou Dillenbach will have to bear it. The three got up to leave the Cottage an evening or so ago, with Mary Louise forgetting her billfold, which the other two secretly pocketed. Back at Corbin, owner Dillenbach frantically called the Cottage's Missing Billfold Bureau to report her loss.

But "Lemon Ziranda," Claire Arnold, was the all-time hit. She wore a royal blue "Red Hot Mama" formal, widened her lips a musious red inch on both sides, threw a bath towel over her hair on top of which nested a gourd chain string, and wowed 'em with her ultra-sultra handling of "How You Konna Keep 'Em Down on the Farm". It was so hot that a raid (by Superpolice-woman Dorothy Tweedy) hit the show; "Lemon" hit the road; and the curtains hit the floor.
