Kansan Comment
K.U. Spirit
Dead or Dormant
A new football season and a new crop of freshmen revive the annual question: Will University enthusiasm inspire the teams or let them down? We are not preaching a high-school brand of pep, but rather an abiding loyalty and an interest in the destiny of our athletic teams.
Tomorrow morning the Jayhawk football team leaves Lawrence to play Drake. A large rally at the station might deprive students of a few moments of sleep, but a spirited send-off would begin the season with a new attitude for the team and the student body.
Coach Gwinn Henry has built up the morale and spirit of our football team. It is up to the students of the University to support every athletic contest with attendance and pen-talk.
The year is 1939, and 1939 is the year we rally!
Eastern Jitters vs.
Western Calm
Alf M. London's recent note that the East is more jittery over the war than the Middle West reflects the different psychological and economic reactions between the sections in a crisis.
People of the Atlantic states live in a nervous urban atmosphere, as contrasted with the stable activity of the Mid-West. The country along the seaboard is cramped with cities in which millions compete for subsistence. This living result in a high strung mass of inhabitants whose emotions react sensitively to the mildest tremor in world conditions. Too, the East is peopled by a large percentage of races noted for their excitability. On the other hand, the population of the Mid-West does not arouse quickly, for it consists of much stock from northern Europe. That the East is the geographic location of the nation's capital has resulted in the exertion of heavier progaganda measures there than in the Middle West. The stream of opposing ideas confuses eastern people in their decisions.
Another major cause for the different reactions between the coastal states and the central section is economic. The East depends directly upon foreign trade while the West relies on agriculture. The idea of trade disruption panics the factory owners and their millions of employees. In Kansas and surrounding states, workers feel less of the war's direct affects. Income in the agricultural areas is not based directly upon foreign trade.
In a true democracy divergence of opinion is essential. Compromise between opposed forces results in a balance and a norm, which dictatorships can never attain with their censored press and lack of voiced public opinion.
International affairs and European wars temporarily hold the spotlight, but 1940 is on the way and the present non-political Congressional and party unity worked up to hurry the Neutrality scheme is too amiable to last.
Where Oh Where
Has the Bremen Gone?
"No place is beyond the reach of our correspondents," has been the proud boast of the newsgathering agencies. Yet the large German passenger ship, Bremen, has now been missing some three weeks, and the newspapers have been unable definitely to give its location.
The Bremen has been bobbing up practically all over the world—at least via columns and news stories. The British claim they have captured it and taken it into an English port. The Germans claim their ship returned safely to native waters. It has been reported seen in Iceland, Russia, South America, Central America, Italy, and the Orient. Walter Winchell even went so far as to say in one of his recent columns that the船 has returned to an obscure pier in New York harbor and is biding its time until a peaceful return voyage can be made.
Surely the Bremen must have docked somewhere. When the liner left New York with only officers and crew aboard, it did not have enough food and fuel to cruise around indefinitely, playing nide-and-seek with belligerent English ships. And unlike the pirate ships of the swashbuckling era, the Bremen can't just pull up to a small, out-of-the-way island and drop anchor so the sailors can go ashore for coconuts and berries.
The Bremen would have had to dock at a fairly large port. The moment it put in its appearance the newspapers would have received the report—that is except where strict censorship is in effect. If England did capture the ship, American newspapers would have been definitely assured of it.
It looks as though the phantom ship has been able to run the British blockade and return to its home base. There it is only too easy for German censors to keep the news suppressed.

To the Editor:
Favors Arms Embargo
A year ago the repeal of the arms embargo provisions of the American neutrality act would have rendered a distinct service to democracy. It would have made the Spanish Republic to victory over the infidet invader.
But the arms ambassador was not lifted a year ago. Many of the same gentleman who then fought neutrality revision tooth and nail are today clamoring for an official ban on the weapons designs of the rejectionary policies of Britain and France
All the hue and cry about revision or non-revision of the neutrality act today is but a smokescreen raised by reactionaries who are anxious to commit the United Nations war against them. In section 4 of the warring imperial powers in Europe,
In the light of recent developments leading to the imperialist war now rugging in Europe the previous alignment of nations into democratic and fascist camps has lost its former meaning. The difference today between German fascism and British imperialism is no less a difference of degree, a difference which is diminishing.
The war in Europe is not a war against fascism. It is not a war to save democracy. It is an imperialist war.

Kansas Alumnus Pioneers In Tropical Health Work
It is a story of a young man's uniting work to help his people, Ignorance, superstition, indolence on the part of local officials, red tape, lack of sufficient funds to effectively carry out the work, adverse weather conditions, and improvised equipment are only a few of the handicaps that confront the young engineer.
A story of tropical pioneering in the prevention of disease in the Philippine Islands by a young University of Kanaa graduate, Pastor Echaver, who is now assistant sanitary engineer of the Islands' Bureau of Health, may be found in the correspondence files of Earnest Boyce, professor of sanitary engineering at the University
On his return to the Philippines, Eshavez was sent to the province of Bohol, one of the 7000 islands of the Malay Archipelago group of which the Philippines are composed, in response to a report of an epidemic of dysentery and typhoid fever by the district health officer of the province. Both diseases have always been endemic in the Bohol province, Eshavez said.
Ezhavez, a Filipino, who earned his passage to the United States as a ship's cabin boy, received a 5-year bachelor of science degree at the University in 1936, after graduating with a bachelor of science degree in civil engineering in 1933 and then taking a Master's degree. Ezhavez worked at old Jb to finance the costs of his education.
Assigned to chlorinate the water of the province, he began his work at Jagna, a city of 3,000 inhabitants. Potassium permanganate had been used by the district's medical officers to temporarily sterilize the water and curb the epidemic, but the natives would not use the water until all taste of the chemical had disappeared. However, by that time the practical disinfecting qualities had been lost or had been diluted to such an extent that it was of little value.
Made Chlorinator
Ehaven, who was without equipment, made a chlorinator from an empty oil drum, a lamp shade, a rubber stopper, some glass tubing, and rubber piping. Once the problem of making a chlorinator had been solved, the task of convincing the inhabitants that the water was safe for consumption immediately presented itself, since the residual chlorine gave the water a slightly offensive taste and odor.
Demonstrations were necessary before the skeptics were at last made to believe that the water was
Extension Division Receives Prints of Old Masterpieces
Approximately 2,500 men, or half of the entire student body, will be needed to take care of the thousands who will flock to Lawrence for the National Cormhusking Contest Nov. 1., 2, and 3.
Later, the gallery, in collaboration with the University extension division, will arrange to expand its project to include prints of mas-
Many jobs are open, said Fred Ellsworth, head of the bureau, but applicants cannot be found because they have failed to leave phone numbers or have forgotten to mastly office of any change in address.
The University employment bureau warned students who have applied for work to keep in constant touch with the employment office.
Each month the Nelson gallery selected one object of art as its featured masterpiece, and the prints are then added to the University collection. The new loan material at the University now includes photo-prints of paintings of the contemporary period.
Bacteriological tests were made on the water, and it was found that the disease was being spread through drinking water. A chlorinator was installed, and on the third day no new patients applied. In two weeks' time, Echavez said, the hospital was empty.
Once it had been demonstrated that the chlorinated water was in no way deleterious, the problem was non-existent, for it then was believed that the water with the characteristic taste of chlorine actually tasted better than untreated, and unsafe, water. After Echohev's experience at Jagna, it was a relatively simple job to treat other water supplies in the province. Waterworks Few
Women's clubs in the state have found the collection, which also includes more than 2000 color prints of masterpieces, an excellent source of material for study on their programs, and the new additional books on the popular New Valley should prove popular. Miss Wagstaff believes.
The Philippine Islands, with a population of 14,000,000 persons,ave but about 500 public waterworks, Echavez said, excluding small artesian wells, and only a small percentage of these are competently managed. In Bohol province there are 22 waterworks for 36 towns, and 15 of these water supplies are badly contaminated and polluted during the rainy season, Echavez said.
There are still other jobs open at the home football games.
Husking Contest Creates Jobs
Seventy-five protoprints of an masterpieces as featured in the "Masterpiece of the Month" selections by the William Rockhill Nelson art gallery staff have been added to the loan collection of the extension division of the University, and are now available for use, with no charge. Visitaste, which charges the collection, announced yesterday.
"The Manila metropolitan water district with its Balara filters is in the only one we have," Ehabe said, "and the only treatment is very insignificant coagulation, filtration and chloramide disinfection."
"At present we have had several reports of water supplies that are known to have been responsible for intestinal troubles."
"We have another 1-unit filter in the south, but the design is poor and the operators are not even to be clasped as amateurs. Once in a while they operate the filter only as a gesture of courtesy."
Echavne, whose work sends him to remote parts of the islands was assigned to a province in which dysentery had broken out in two towns. An old building was converted into a hospital, but the facilities were too limited to care for the number of patients who applied for admit-
"I believe that giving our people potable water would in a great measure ameliorate our public health problem," Echavez continued. "One hears of gastro-entitls here, typhoid there, dysseury somewhere else. Medical supplies and officers are sent, but before their control is done another outbreak of disease occurs in some other place."
Water Spreads Disease
