Wears Purple Heart Zilch Coming
By Jose LaCucaracha
The Kansan's South American Correspondent
RIO DE JANIERO, Dec. 9—(Delayed by Unofficial Censor)—Sounds of an unidentified airplane flying high over the bay region of this colorful South American city brought Brazilian air and ground defenses into action, until the thrilling words were flashed out over the wireless and walkie-talkies "CEASE FIRING. ELMER A. ZILCH IS 'COMING IN FOR A LANDING.'"
Before the landing gear of The Plumed Knight of Journalism's huge B-125 had touched the runway of the La Golondrina airport, press correspondents were sending dispatches to the waiting world, and editions of an extra paper were being snatched by the frenzied people of Rio.
He Wears the Purple Heart
Zilch, leaving the foxholes of Bataan and the sandy beach of Guadalcanal to attend the yearly banquet to be given in his honor by the department of journalism at the University, proudly displayed the Purple Heart awarded him for being wounded in action (he cut his thumb on a beer can according to reports, although the modest crusader doesn't want to talk about it.) President Getulio Vargas and a vast concourse of Brazilian officials and foreign diplomats were on hand to lead a triumphal procession through the streets.
Blackout precautions were dispensed with for the next week, on the theory that no Axis nation dare stage an air raid with Zilch on hand to combat the foe. Impromptu conga lines, with Zilch at the head, were formed in the boulevards, and orchids floated down from the windows of Rio's skyscrapers, landing all around the man who had done so much for the advancement of journalism.
Future Plans
When asked of his plans after the fateful 29th of December, Zilch blinked eight times and said, "Damned if I know. I may have dinner

buck in the suddle again, as we Tibetans put it. Maybe I'll join a command unit, or take charge of the WAAC's (this with a shy grin)."
In response to a wire sent by the Daily Kahsan, Zilch replied, in part: "TIM COMING, I'M COMING FOR MY HEAD IS BENDING LOW, AND I LONG TO BE AT LAST IN THE CITADEL OF PROBIBITION TION. LOVE TO ALL." When Zilch will leave Rio for his next leg of the long journey will remain a military secret, but shrewd analysts predict that he will arrive at an unnamed Atlantic coast port, probably by submarine or patrol boat.

STRESS FITNESS--of discussion and application by Miss Jean Bliss, also of the department.
The latter part of the morning was spent in a working conference on the program for men and women. Demonstrations were given in the large gymnasium under the supervision of Captain Smith on "Marching;" H. A. Shenk of the department of physical education, "Calisthenics" and "Responsie Activities and Relays" given by R. R. Strait. "Rhythmies" was the topic
Color Film on Disease Shown To Pharmacists
The film also reviewed the Shick test for diptheria, and the Dick test for scarlet fever. There is no test for lock jaw. In 1719, Jenner discovered a method to insure immunity against smallpox, the film disclosed.
"Immunization Against Infectious Diseases" as pictured in the three-reel color film of the same name which was shown to the Pharmacy club Friday, is produced by three methods.
The most difficult way is contracting the disease, according to the illustrated explanation. Without having the disease, immunization may be brought about by injecting dead bacteria cells into the body or the toxin made by the bacteria. The anti-toxin which is then formed in the blood stream is used for short immunizations only.
Many persons with defective vision also could do effective work in important jobs. In one large plant approximately 50 per cent of the positions might be filled by persons who are blind in one eye but have good vision in the other.
Following lunch the general assembly met and Miss Rush Hoover and Miss Joie L. Stapleton, instructors in the department of physical education, spoke on "Azuatics" and "Health" respectively.
Working conferences on the program for men and women took up most of the afternoon schedule.
