'Syphilis' Is No Worse Than 'Smallpox'
The National Broadcasting company recently cancelled a broadcast by Hugh H. Johnson, director of the late NRA, on the subject of veneral diseases. The cancellation was made on the ground that no method of broadcasting such material had been devised that would not embarrass the family group.
It is at the same sense of false modesty and propriety that prompted this decision that a national campaign is being directed for the elimination of the deadly syphilis and gonorrhea. The press, the cinema, the medical associations, some states and many colleges and universities are leading in that fight to conquer the two murderous diseases. The greatest obstacle is prudish society that will overlook murder to save face.
The campaign has gone far in the direction of an enlightened public and the education concerning the diseases. But it is a cause that requires the co-operation of every agency and the unrelenting efforts of all forces.
It looks as if NBC and Kansas are lagging.
The Enemy's A Pretty Good Guy
Has President Roosevelt by his conciliatory "breathing spell" at last hit upon one of the fundamental solutions to this country's economic problems?
"We should," says the president in his message to congress, "give special consideration to lightening inequitable burdens of the $m a l l business men of the nation." And he openly advocated modification of the tax laws in an effort to encourage business enterprise.
Heretofore the government has taken the lead in reform measure only to be held back by the fears of small business. With the stock market slump, and danger of another drastic business recession, both business and the New Deal had to re-evaluate each other.
In the evaluation process, opinions were changed both ways with the result that the New Deal began to think of helping business, and business began to think more favorably of the government funds which had been poured in and were so noticeable in their absence.
Soon Roosevelt began to have an insight into the psychological state of mind of the small tax-frighetned business man who had held back his support because of taxes and fear. Admitting the present business recession although minimizing it, the president indicated aid for small business in the form of lessened taxes.
Perhaps this change of policy will bring out the much-needed realization that aid in increasing employment is going to have to come from private capital, rather than already overstrained government agencies.
If You Believe,
Do Something About It
Armistice Day has come and gone. We have reaffirmed our loyalty to those who died "over there," believing that the most part that they had helped "to make the world safe for democracy." Mised as they may have been, we cannot help but pledge to their gratitude for their devotion to a cause which they believed just.
But it demands something more—something more than wide reading and fruitful contemplation. That loyalty demands a will to act—a determination to align oneself with an ideal and to live for it, not die.
The world has never lacked loyalty—Americans did not lack it in 1917. But man has always been deluded by mistaken loyalty. We have in America today a place for only the highest loyalty. That loyalty demands intelligence, a keen insight, and an understanding of the modern world!
Our reaffirmation of loyalty to the men of 1917-18 can only be followed by a pledge to the loyalty which says, "It shall not come again." It is a loyalty which demands not only an understanding of the causes and hopelessness of war, but a willingness to act in that direction.
Have you ever commended Senators Capper and McGill for their consistent votes throughout the past three years against the ever-increasing army and navy appropriation bills?
Have you ever written a letter to your congressman, criticizing his vote to recommit the McSwain War Profits bill which would have abolished all over 6 percent profit in munitions in time of war?
Have you ever signed or circulated a petition to withdraw the billion dollar fleet now guarding a $30,000,000 investment in China?
Have you ever joined an organization which stood consistently for "no foreign war" and for a reduction in military and naval expenditures?
You Can't Use 'em For Fishing Poles
Then can you say that you believe in peace?
In the recent celebration following the historic tie with Nebraska, a few downtown merchants lost their flagpoles from in front of their places of business. In the true spirit of fun these merchants didn't mind the damaging results of temporary enthusiasm, but now, as occasions arise for the further use of the poles, they would like to have them returned.
It is certainly an accepted fact that the poles are too large to adorn student rooms, and they can be of no other practical use to their unlawful possessors.
The merchants and the Kansan request that the poles be left at the Kansan office from where they will be returned to the merchants. If complete anonymity is desired, the poles can be left on the front porch of the Journalism building after midnight.
It makes no difference who you are, but bring 'em back.

World Police Knit Strong Net
On the first floor there are four
By Allen Dibble
United Press Staff correspondent
Washington, D.C., Nov. 16, (U-P)
—World law enforcement agencies are setting traps to prevent international criminals from committing crime in New York on one day and preventing it from being used.
J. Edgar Hoover, director of the bureau of investigation, visualizes the possibility of a criminal robbing a bank in New York one day and eating dinner in Paris the next—if he can get away with it.
World Co-operation Greater
Broadening the战 against crime in which he has enlisted local and state police throughout the nation, However has urged the necessity of protecting them before the vicarious animals of depredation establish their game trails."
The bureau of investigation, focal point of law enforcement in the United States, has an extensive fingerprint exchange with 81 foreign countries and possessions of the United States.
"We need the knowledge that England, France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Bulgaria, Italy, Scotland, Australia, America, and other nations can co-operate to establish a single state or the borough or villages of a single province. Hoover said."
The efforts to prepare traps for the flight of international crooks—long the "soldiers of fortune" of the underworld—have brought about and information between the law enforcement agencies of various nations.
Sir James Mac Brien, commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police; Dr. Eugene Bianau, director general of public security, Bucharest Rumania; W. Lourence, director of the Lisbon, Portugal; police; K. H. Brokkohoff, commissioner of the Amsterdam, Holland, and numerous others recently toured the bureau of information department in the department, and other law enforcement agencies to obtain new ideas and formulate plans for an inter-agonal defense against crime.
Hoover tentatively has planned a trip to Europe next year to study police methods and visit law enforcement for a further exchange of ideas.
The steady growth of the international fingerprint system and collection of identification data designed quickly and surely to involve the suspect, have formed a strong founder for the international co-operation.
Co-ordination Bureau Suggested Canadian authorities have suggested that the government should co-ordinate the police activities of various countries on the North American continent. Similar European commissions have made great strides toward the apprehension of speed across national boundaries.
Co-ordination Bureau Suggested
Radio also will play a prominent part in the development of internation co-operation, it was pointed out. North American countries are negotiating to permit the integration of their police radio systems. Describing it as "one of the modern miracles of law enforcement," Hoover recalled the case of Robert Green, escaped Colorado state penitentiary inmate, apprehended by officers of Scotland Yard.
Green escaped approximately 18 years ago and his whereabouts were unknown for more than 16 years. Finally, the bureau of investigation discovered a file of a Thomas Walker, who had been arrested by Scotland Yard officers.
A telltale red signal in the bureau files here revealed that the fingerprints were those of the fugitive Green. New York City police officers were awaiting Green when he walked down the gangplank of the boat on which he was deported from England.
bedrooms. One has an adjoining bath, while the other three share the same bath. On the second floor there are six bedrooms, dormitory and three bathrooms. On this floor, a private bathroom is provided with an indirect lighting system.
Under the house there is a large basement which will be used as a recreation home for the nurses. Here they may play pingpong, roller skate, and in other ways spend their leisure time. A portion of the basement, separated from the recreation room, is also used for laundry work. Re Ready.
The living room of the home will be furnished with overstuffed furniture. The dining room is to be pro-posed in a maplest in early american style.
Each bedroom will be provided with a walnut chest of drawers, easy chair, small table and a hooked rug. The walls of the 'rooms' are stippled in light green. The woodwork of the intire house is birch.
The building will be occupied about Dec. 1, by Dr. Gail McClure, a laboratory technician, a dietician, and two students who work at the hospital and the home. At the present, the nurses are living on the third floor of the hospital. The completion of the nurses' home will give more space for students in the hospital.
Dean Werner, H. V. Allison To Address Chemistry Club
Mr. Henry Werner and Mr. Hugh V. Allison will be guest speakers at the next meeting of the Chemistry Club, tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. in room 201 of the Chemistry building.
Mr. Allison will discuss some problems in "Large Ring Chemistry." Mr. Werner will speak on "The Analysis of Foods by Fluorescence Methods," which is a new method of analysis used by food chemists.

The Last Word is never spoken at Western Electric
The urge to "make it better" is always there
WHEN you approach old problems with a fresh viewpoint, you often get outstanding improvements.
For example; wires for telephone cable had long been insulated by a spiral wrapping of paper ribbon.
Refusing to accept this as the "last word," a Western Electric engineer mixed a wood pulp solution in a milk bottle—poured it on a wire—the pulp stock. The systematic development of this idea resulted in a new and more economical insulating process—making an insulating covering of paper right on the wire!
Such originality leads to improved manufacturing processes and better telephone apparitions for the Bell System.
