"Since 1932 Europe has been living in a different period; the post-war era had ended," said Donald Grant, lecturer for the Institute of American Education, speaking on "The Present and Future of Europe." At a later afternoon in Fraser Theater.
Grant is speaking on the Spanish civil war conflict this morning at 11:30 in Central Administration auditorium.
"The chief characteristic from 1918 to 1932 was the destroying of old strictures. The people everywhere expected a new era to arise immediately after the war. Europe in the post-war era was idealistic-perhaps

Get Thee Behind Vs. Father Divine
5. Restoration of faculty and employee salaries.
All sorts of hell was raised in the kingdom of heaven belonging to Father Divine, the dusky preacher who is God to his followers, a few days ago. The rumpus started when Paul Comora, a process server, attempted to hand the Father a summons in the suit while the founder of the cult was conducting services around his sumptuously laden table
Result was that the assembled "angeals" and disciples stopped short in their swaying and shouting of "amens" and "peace," and rushed Comora and his two associates, one a newspaper reporter, out of the building. One of the three assaulted was stabbed and wounded seriously, and the other two were knocked down, kicked, and beaten before they escaped.
Which are strange goings-on for a cult which calls itself "Peace, It's Wonderful." If the honorable Father is going to continue such unorthodox practices, people may begin to think that rather than having something to do with the Kingdom of Heaven he's really an ambassador from the other province. At least some of his alleged angels give a fairly good representation of horned individuals.

Speaking Of Schemes ...
Alderman Percy Quin of Toronto, Canada recently proposed and placed before the city property commissioner a plan by which he calculates the entire Canadian national debt could be paid off in twenty years.
Quinn desires to establish the Dionne quintuplets, during eight months of each year, in the two-million-dollar "white elephant" castle built by Sir Henry Pellatt, and later seized by Toronto for unpaid taxes.
Secondly, space in the other parts of the now empty structure could be leased to individuals or companies to be used for restaurants and shops, thereby realizing nice sums for the government.
The Kansan Platform
If this dream were to be put into actual practice, it is believed that the government would be able to collect enormous sums yearly from various sources.
First of all, individuals would be charged fifty cents each to enter the castle grounds and consequently get a view of the famous quints "in action."
Last, but not least from the financial point of view, the originator of the scheme believes film companies would gladly pay large amounts of money for the privilege of "shooting" the Dionne girls in such an aristocratic setting.
Now here is a scheme worthy of some of our congressmen. If the newsreels will pay for such things, think how much money we could garner by making them pay for the privilege of photographing battleships, horse races, and bathing beauty contests. Why that national debt of ours would soon fade to nothingness.
3. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore.
Editorial Comment
But then, who are we to suggest such things? They're probably contemplating doing so already.
Campus Opinion
Legitimate Complaint
Editor Daily Kansan:
It would be darn swell if each group would count the number of people in its party, and choose a booth accordingly. I'm a little fed up with one person in each large booth, and three in the small ones.
According to my eyes the Union Building fountain has two types of booths. These two sizes of cubby-holes include the small type for one or two people and the large booths, made to accommodate three or

Combatting Early Syphilis
By JOHN H. STOKES, M.D.
By JOHN H. STOKES, N.I.
(Retr印ed by convent of Readers Digest)
Norton: The first half of this article was printed in the Kansas for Friday.
Early syphilis should be treated on one of two definite schedules, known as the American "continuous" and the Danish British "intermittent," each of which specifies the dosage of the essential drugs, and the times to give them, together with the necessary tests, all with the accuracy of a pilot's chart. These schedules are the result of a World-wide survey by a League of National Committees and the United States Public Health Service co-operating with a group of American clinics and authorities. In the United States, the American continuous treatment has the weight of a large body of evidence in its favor, so let us confine our discussion to this system, which goes on week after week for approximately 65 weeks and gives top-notch curative results.
Two Drugs Used for Treatment
In treating early syphilis today two drugs, arsiphenamine and bismuth, are used in alternation. The arsiphenamines are yellowish powders which must be dissolved in specially purified water, and then injected very slowly into a vein. Injecting this in the presence of injection hurt little or not at all. The drug circulates to various organs which change it into compounds that destroy the spiral germs of syphilis outright and with astonishing rapidity. This yellow liquid which goes so painlessly into your vein is a refinement of Paul Ehrlich's "606", an arsenical compound introduced in 1910 that brought new hope, meaning and method into the treatment of syphilis. Today the arsenical compounds are defective, bring about your cure and nothing else but arsiphenamine and its derivatives will do it. In an early case usually 30 to 40 of these treatments are required, given in courses which alternate without lapses or rests with those of bismuth. The old days of treating syphilis with mercury pills and other medicines by mouth are gone for good. Bismuth, the second drug used in the treatment of syphilis, has largest effect on the nervous system and less obsolete mercury, with less relapse and more cure, and less trouble from complications, especially of the kidney. Bismuth today is safely and effectively given in only one way—in a suspension or solution injected through a $2\%$-inch needle into the muscle of the buttocks. It is given once every five or seven days, alternating with the arsiphenamine injections or a larger dose if an urgent case the schedule call for 60 of these bismuth "hit" treatments.
Composure Is Essential
Don't be thrown into a panic over any of this treatment, or even by an uncomfortable reaction — a little nausea or headache. Real drugs must cause some flurry if they are to work, and an experienced physician can find a way around every complication. Compose or your doctor's guidance will fully the first four hip treatments may make you a little stiff, but if your doctor will take time to massage, deeply and firmly, for two or three 'minutes over the spot, the treatment is not even a nuisance.
Sometimes between the sixth and 12th month of treatment, a spinal fluid examination should be made, because only in this way can the great locomotor ataxia and general paralysis, be recognized and cured or arrested before they have established themselves in the nervous tissues. If the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord is clear, it must truth that much blindness, chairbound crippling, and practically all insanity due to the disease could be utterly stamped out. Here again, the procedure in competent hands is safe, the reactions are few and insignificant. But the informaticained from the standard tests of spinal fluid by a competent laboratory is absolutely priceless; if the result is negative, or normal, it is best to treat the patient the most heartfelt "Thank God!" the doctor and patient ever uttered. Consoling, too, is the fact that a negative spinal fluid, after standard early treatment, almost never becomes positive or abnormal.
The worst that can happen after a spinal fluid examination is a one in 10 chance of a headache that may arise from the pressure once on doing so) for a few hours.
You may have unconsciously exposed other persons before you had the disease. The wise course here is to insist upon a full investigation of everyone involved, and this means blood tests, at least. If possible, bring to the doctor for treatment, the blood tests, and keep your memory until it yields all the facts; you will be protected and so will he or she. We want to stop this disease, not punish or pass moral judgments.
Time and Treatment Control
What of the patient who cannot afford the services of a private physician? Shall he be barred from the possibilities of a cure? If a patient is honestly unable to pay for private treatment, he can secure skillful medical attention from the clinics operated by his community doctor. If a patient is possible, he pays a small fee; if he is wholly without money, drugs and medical service cost him nothing Even under our present system of public clinics, admittedly inadequate and destined for complete reorganization in the near future, no citizen can plead poverty as an excuse for avoiding the personal and so- responsibility of "taking the charge."
