Diet, Not Rum
Causes D.T.'s
Says Dr. Helwiq
- Liar Labeled a Friend of Man in Book Written by K.U. Hospital Professor
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 4 — (UP)—Liquor does not cause delirium tremens, nor cirrhosis of the liver, nor Bright's Disease, and furthermore it even is beneficial to the average person, according to a book published today by a Missouri physician who specializes in State University of extra dry Kansas.
Therefore, Dr. Ferdinand C. Heliw,
co-author of the volume, would not be at all surprised if the followers of Carrie Nation dispute his contentions which he said, are not offended by his hangover or the screaming meeches.
The book is titled "Alcohol, the Servant of Man," and that in itself, the doctor conceded, is enough to keep the resolutions committees at a W.C.T.U. convention busy all night. *Just Be Collected*.
He backs up his findings with a 40-page bibliography, which after a few slugs of brandy neat. Scotch nor soda, or old-fashioned white mule would be pretty confusing to the average drinker.
Expect Attacks By Celibates
Co-author of the volume was Walton Hall Smith, a Kansas City manufacturer who likes to write.
"Yes, there probably will be some attacks made upon us but the boo is the result of serious study and research in a scientific research," Dr. Helwig said.
"We had no axe to grind, we are not tools of the liquor interests, and it was not written as a defense mechanism." Helwig said. "The book is a scientific treatise on alcohol, written for the general public."
After a history of alcohol, which they call the great "Socializer," the authors take up such propositions as the effect of liquor on the human body, physiology of drinking, and histories of some famous old soaks.
Among other things, the book knocks into a battered beer can the fable that a drink is just the thing for snake bite.
One chapter is entitled "Liquor and Sex." Beneath the title, in parentheses, is this: "Are you reading this chapter first?"
Anyone who ever spent one night in a bar room should be interested in the statement that diet deficiency and not rum causes the D.T.'s.
Asked if he ever did any elbow-branded himself, Dr. Helwig replied "Only on very special occasions, such as when you have a book published."

With the roteers—No way could be found to dampen the K-State loyalty of the Manhattan business man. After 20 minutes in cold Potter's lake he still wouldn't recam but insisted on calling Jayhawk "a bunch of dumb clucks."

What a Day---- Fighting Blacks Out Football, Cornhusking
By Dale Heckendorn, c'40
The battle for the goal posts and the march on Potter's lake with a rabid Kansas State fan pushed the Cornhusking contest and the football game clear out of the picture as the most thrilling event of a gala weekend.
As the students mixed it up on the field, arms flew around in such a furious manner; that all the windmills in Holland could never hope to duplicate the feat. One minor skirmish took place at the north goal post before the game ended. The officials had to call time out to clear the field much to the disappointment of the blood thirsty crowd that had*
fost all interest in the game and was hopefully waiting for a real battle to break out among the supporters of both schools.
At the final gun both sides stood glaring at each other for fifteen minutes before they finally clashed. Suddenly there was a flailing of arms and a mass of squirming twisting bodies as fans wildly threw haymakers, left and right hooks, and long looping punches to faces that left a score of black eyes, bruises, and bloody noses. A large crowd of spectators closed in on the fighting students at the north end.
While the battle at the north end of the field was at its height only a few University supporters were left to guard the south goal against any advances of the "Country Cousins" from the Manhattan brush who were determined to take home a souvenir after a visit to the big city. At this point, several Aggie men made an attack on the south goal, but they were soon laid out out to end or were driven off after another demonstration of the worst kind of boxing technique but the best kind of slugging entertainment for the excited fighters in the boxing fighters. They shifted over the field in a course that was taken by a falling fighters who had come into contact with driving fists with all the trimmings. Little thought was given to clothing as the freaked fans and alumni tackled, blocked, and rolled over the playing field and the cinder track.
Although the football team was pushed everywhere but out of the
F.S.A. Publication To Appear Nov. 16
The date of publication for the initial issue of the L.S.A. newspaper, "The Independent," has been shifted to Nov. 16, according to the announcement of David Whitney, c42 general manager of the organization.
Applications for the position of editor and business manager of the publication are being received at the I.S.A. office in room 1, Frank Strong hall.

stadium, and even that seemed probable at times, the Jayhawk supporters staved off every threat on the goal posts during the after-game battle. The spectators who remained in the stadium cheered more than they did in the first half than they did during the entire game.
One fan, a young Manhattan merchant loaded with Aggi spirits, challenged the entire Kansas rooting section during the game. He started the clash before the game ended and was also in the thick of the fry at both ends of the field. He became obnoxious in the eyes of the Mt. Oread men. Several Kansas huskies picked him up and with a few reverse plays began a goaround march on Potter's lake. The mighty Jayhawk machine never was halted. It rolled up to the shore of the lake where it tasted the hapless victim in its mouth. The searing ice. The mercury had dropped to the 30's.
The fortunate K-Sister drew upon his vast vocabulary of words that can be acquired only by compulsion with stuudio barn farm animals.
The key waters may have dammed his arder, but it failed to quench his thirst for fight. He challenged anyone one to enter the water with him. Two Jayhawkner freshmen, Phil Partridge, e4, and Richard Bosse, ed'3, stripped to their shorts and joined the half clothed visiting swimmer, who was finally induced to leave the water.
The Resource-Full Kansas Exhibit tent housed nothing last night but tons of torn paper and colored publicity folders. All the exhibits were removed shortly after neon yesterday, and only a few of them were for later use. The exhibits in the University booth have been returned to the various departments. The Resource-Full Kansas tent will be returned according to Dr. R. C. Moore, chairman of the exhibit, in order to give the workmen opportunity to pick up

Witan Members Publish 'Lady Lore' For Campus Women
Cornville, the mushroom city of the National Cornhusking Contest, is a ghost city today. Deserted by her 112,000 inhabitants of Friday, Cornville is again just a Kaw valley cornfield.
Brisk, breezy, and up-to-the-minute tips on being an up-to-the-minute miss are given the twentieth century woman, be she young or old, in "Lady Lore," a handbook issued this week by members of the Witan.

Implement displays have been moved to Lawrence; broadcasting towers have been lowered; the 41 concession stands have gone out of business; and only the poles remain to show that Cornville even had telephone service during her boom days.
But there is no doubt that Cornville was a great city. Will Zurbucken, assistant superintendent of the Kansas Highway patrol, estimated that 39,000 cars were parked in Cornville parking lots and that 112-

Marcel Dupre Gives Recital Tomorrow Night
★ Famous French Organist Who Was Decorated With the Grand Prix de Rome Will Appear in Hoch
Marcel Dupre, said to be the "Paderewski of the organ", will appear in an organ recital at 8:20 tomorrow night at 8:20 in Hoch auditorium to open the University Concert Course for this season.
No organist of this generation, it is said, has won so many honors as Dupre. At the age of 12 he was appointed organist at the Church of St. Vincent in Rouen, his native city. At twenty-eight he won the highest prize offered by the French government, the coveted Grand Prix de Rome, with the Cantat, "Psychre" for mixed voices and orchestra.
Dupre is head of the organ at the Paris Conservatoire and upon the death of the great organist, Widor, he was appointed to take his place at the St. Sulpice in Paris.
Startled Music World
Dupre started the musical world in 1920 by the almost incredible feat of playing perfectly from memory the entire organ works of Bach, in a series of 12 recitals at the Paris Conservatory. This accomplishment involved the memorizing and playing of over two hundred different pieces and two 'housand printed pages' of music.
At the close of these recitals, Charles Widor, the French organist and composer, delivered an address in which he said: "We must all regret, my dear Dupe, the absence from our midst of the person whose name is foremost in our thoughts today—the great Bach himself. Rest assured if he had been here, he would have embraced you and pressed you to his heart." Critics Praise His Style
English critics have accorded Dupre universal praise for his purity of style, unassailable technique, brilliance of registration, remarkable and phenomenal improvisations. The Manchester Guardian reported, "His playing is so far removed from the realities it describes that the educational value of the recitals is of the first importance."
Dupure will play the following program tomorrow night: "Tocata and Fugue in D Minor" (J. S. Bach), "Gavotte from 3rd Concerto" (Hannel), "The e Cuckoo" (Daquin), "Caton in B Minor" (Schumann) Prelude in B Flat" (Mendelssohn), "Pastorale" (Cesar Frank), "Alegrate from Sixth Symphony" (Widor), "Berceuse" (Dupure), "Filleue" (Dupure), "Tocata" (Lywood Farmham); "Variations on an Old Noel" (Dupure); Improvisions on a submitted theme.
The Campus Sightseeing Bureau secured a near failure this weekend. Dale Heckendorf, c4, reported that less than 10 visitors were guided around the campus Thursday. A number of number appeared for guides Friday.
Two University boys found out Friday that:
It's the Law In Kansas--vented smoking in all University buildings. Political complications hindered action on the bill, however, and on Oct. 21, C. H. Muller, P42 president of the M.S.C., declared himself in favor of a compromise which would limit smoking to certain authorized places. But the factions held caution and the bill meeting Oct. 23 at the Bill was tabled.
It's the law in Kansas not to: 1. hunt ducks before the hour act by game commissioners; 2. use someone else's dock without permission; 3. discharge firearms within the limits; 4. hunt ducks with a rifle.
With 2,500 peace officer employees Friday to direct traffic to the National Cornhusking contest, one game warden caught the University boys out on the Kaw and preferred charges against them.

Cannon To Speak Here Thursday
- Chicago Pathologist Will Talk on 'Antibody Action' In Lecture Series
Dr. Paul R. Cannon, professor of pathology at the University of Chicago, and associate editor of the medical journal, "Immunology," will address the student body at 8 oclock Thursday evening in the auditorium of Frank Strong hall.
Dr. Cannon comes to the University for the Third Annual Nobel Pierce Sherwoon Lectureship series, sponsored by the national chapter of the Phi Beta Pi, medical fraternity. His text, to be illustrated with lantern slides, will be, "Some Functional Aspects of Action Antibody"
Doctor Cannon, is the author of many scientific reports and journals. He is a graduate of the James Millekan University and received his B.S. from the University of Changsha and his M.D. from the Rush Medical College.
The national fraternity sponsors lectureship series each year in the majority of universities and colleges throughout the United States. The lecturers are either laymen interested in the field of medicine or members of the profession. Last year the lectureship brought to the University of Pittsburgh at El Paso of "The Horse and Buggy Doctor." The purpose of the lectures is to enable all university students to become better acquainted with the field of medicine and its important members.
Dr. N. P. Sherwood, professor of bacteriology, for whom the University lectureships was named, said "Dr Cannon" will give a popular talk on a technical subject, which can be understood by all students whether or not they are majoring in medicine."

The long-delayed bill to ban men's smoking in certain campus buildings will go into effect Nov. 15 it was ascertained yesterday afternoon when Chancellor Deane W. Malet signed the document and made it official. Ten days after publication in today's Daily Kansan it will be enforced.
Chancellor Deane W. Malott spoke at the alumni dinner in Topeka last night, Dean R. A. Schwegler of the School of Education spoke at the alumni breakfast in Dodge City yesterday morning, and Dr. J. W Twente, professor education, spoke at the alumni meeting in Wichita. Pi Lambda Theta, honorary education zorosity, hold reuniions at Dodge City, Pittsburg, and Topteka during the meeting.
Indoor Smoking Ban Into Effect Nov.15
Washington, Nov. 4- (UF)—President Roosevelt signed the new neutrality bill today and then put it into effect by issuing a series of proclamations which opened United States munitions markets to buyers who had cash and who could carry the arms away.
State department authorities anticipated protests from the German Reich on the new law which gives the Allies access to vast American resources, an access denied Germany by the allied sea blockade. Semi-official Nazi press comment on the act has been bitter. Such a protest, it seems, would be a mistake if it was understood. This government considers the act an internal affair of the United States and of no concern of a foreign nation.
Receptacles will be provided for ashes and cigarette butts in the buildings in which smoking is permitted.
The act, debated by Congress for six weeks in a special session which ended Friday night, became valid soon as the President concluded a brief White House ceremony before a distinguished group including vice-president John N. Garner and chiefs of both parties in congress.
After singing the act, which he said recently would impose "real neutrality" upon this country, Mr. Roosevelt issued proclamations putting it into operation.
A committee consisting of two men and two women already has been appointed to meet with C. G. Baylea, superintendent of buildings and grounds, to decide which structures will be built. They will meet early this week.
The men's smoking ban was proposed at a Council meeting Oct. 9, in its original form it would have prevented smoking in all University buildings. Political complications hindered action on the bill, however, and on Oct. 21, C. H. Muller, P42 president of the M.S.C., declared himself in favor of a compromise which would limit smoking to certain authorized places. But the factions held caution and the bill meeting Oct. 23 at the Bill was tabled.
It was passed Monday night. But the Chancellor's signature still was needed, and it was not until Friday that he returned from a business trip to put his official "O.K." on the controversial decision.
Columbia, Nov. 4- (UP)-Paul Christian, preisser passer de the University of Missouri football team, led his mates to a 27 to 13 victory over the previously undefeated University of Nebraska team today before a crowd of 18,000 persons.
Each of Missouri's four touchdowns was on a Christian pass or was set-up by one of his tosses. He threw the ball 12 times and connected with eight receivers. The important Big Six conference match put the Tigers in the front seat along with the undefeated Oklahomaans who moved along with a breathe plane with Iowa State.
Nebraska entered the game a slight favor but Missouri got the jump and the Huskers were too busy watching Chrisman and his mates to do with their own vaunted offensive. The Missouri forwards outmaneuvered the Huskers to the punch and充� charging them most of the way.
Each team made 10 first downs but Missouri gained 333 yards to 233 for the Nebraskers.

Grant Field, Atlanta, Ga. Nov. 4—(UP) - Georgia Tech's point after touchdown skill failed today after 10 successes in many attempts this season and thereby hung the tale of Duke's 7 to six victory over the engineers in a bruising battle before 30,000 fans.
It was in the second quarter that Roy Goree prepared to kick after a Tech touchdown. Tech fans were confident because Goree hadn't missed an extra point this year, but the kick went wide and Duke went on to protect its lead through a hair-raising fourth period.
