Comment
So Logical.
These Europeans!
Italy continues to supply the rebel forces in Spain with soldiers despite the neutrality agreement.
France, on the other hand, stopped a group of Americans who were trying to get across the border to aid the loyalists.
Therefore Mussolini threatens to withdraw from the pact on the ground that France is violating it.
That's what we like about affairs European. Everything is so simple to grasp, everybody strives to be just; oh, so just. And their logic is so good, too.
Without Benefit Of A Sit Down Strike
The signing of a formal contract covering minimum salaries, hours of work and general working conditions between the Newspaper Guild of New York and the New York World-Telegram brings to mind the thought that it's rather a relief to hear of a labor dispute being settled in a more or less peaceable manner.
True, the affixing of the signatures climaxed three months of negotiation, but the sit down strike, rioting, and the calling out of the National Guard, which phases of present labor disputes the public has come to regard as necessary for settlement, have been conspicuous only by their absence.
The World-Telegram is the third New York daily of general circulation to sign the Guild contract. The Daily News and the New York Post have already signed agreements peaceably. In addition to establishing higher minimum wages than those of the posted agreement, a "bulletin board agreement" which the contract supplants, the contract brings immediate restoration of a 10 per cent wage cut to those who have not already received the restoration, and gives a 5 per cent salary increase, in certain classifications, to those who will not receive increases under the new minimum schedules.
Such improvements are worthy of notice in themselves, aside from the fact that they were accomplished without the conflict which has accompanied the settlement of other disputes.
Spring Editorial One
This, friends, is the spring editorial season for every newspaper this side of the Arctic Circle, so be prepared for the usual tripe about the birds and bees, peeping flowers, farmers, anxiously watching their crops, etc., etc.
And love; now there will be thousands of editorials about love. Robert Tertulue style, college boy style, the Butch and Gertrude style of the laborer. But all that Spring has ever done has to allow us to wear a pair of last year's white shoes and go to the movies to see how Taylor does it. It's always easy for him.
But now that that time of the year is here again, we'll yawn, go to the cinema, take two or three quick aspirins, and wish we'd never heard the word Spring.
Perpetual Motion, The Perpetual Problem
Hopefuls are still trying to capture the secret of perpetual motion, according to J. A. Breary, chief clerk at the United States patent office, who declares he sends out six form letters a week refusing patents for such an invention.
The dream of perpetual motion has been in the minds of men since movement was first conceived to be of value. Yet through all these years of dreaming and scheming on the part of inventors, the public has been poking fun at those who actually believe perpetual motion can ever become a reality. The late Sydney Smith in his cartoon "The Gumps" pictured one of his heroes as the inventor of perpetual motion, which Smith apparently felt to be the most impossible of human impossibilities.
However, other inventors have been ridiculed for their efforts, and then eventually their experiments have proved successful and the laughing public has resorted to praise. And so it will probably be with perpetual motion. Someone will stumble on the turn which will give it to us, some day, or a new device will be discovered which will make the need for it no longer felt.
Thus, today we can laugh at the idea of perpetual motion and place the dreamers of it in the comic sections to be ridiculed, but perhaps a future generation will recognize as a hero the man who finally captures this elusive secret.
The Kansan Platform
1. A well-rounded varsity athletic program.
2. Beliefment of student working conditions.
4. An adequate building program, including:
a. Construction of a medical science building.
3. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore.
5. Restoration of faculty and employee salaries.
Ab. The Era Of Clear Thinking!
After two years of study a group of experts presented their findings to the Twentieth Century Fund with the recommendation that the income taxes be increased in the lower brackets.
It would "make everybody tax conscious," say these sturdy souls, urging, meanwhile, that the tax not be increased in the upper brackets because that would "discourage business initiative."
The story called them experts, but we have our doubts.
An official of the Florida Anti-Mosquito league says the mosquito that can fly the farthest and jump the quickest will always be with us . . . that's the only kind that causes us any trouble.
Civilization?
What Can That Be?
It is with somewhat of a shock that we read of a "reign of terror" which has been directed against lepers in China who have been hiding since an Easter massacre of 75 of their fellows by provincial soldiery.
Somehow, we had become accustomed to the idea that this was a rather civilized world, in which the fortunate and afflicted were placed in institutions or some suitable place where they could be cared for, yet not be a danger to their associates.
Worse even than the news of the leper massacre, is the rumor that blind persons are similarly doomed to be hunted down and executed.
Missionaries at the scene report that the prime blame for the situation rests on the authorities themselves for not providing proper refuge for the poverty stricken derelicts, wandering from one community to another.
Such shocking reports, though not pleasant to read, are probably "good for the soul;" for they at least serve to arouse us from smug complacency, and drive home the fact that there is still a good amount of civilizing to be done before all nations can assure themselves that glaring cruelties such as these have bee abolished.

Students Design, Build and Test Operate Chemical Engineering Projects
Student Design Meter
by Margaret Caskey, gr
As is the case in most laboratory courses, the laboratory courses, the laboratory work is the most interesting part of the course in chemical engineering design, required of all seniors in chemical engineering.
Outside of the classroom work, a number of design projects are selected by the class and the students design, build, and test-operate typical chemical engineering experiments, to be run by future classes as regular laboratory experiments.
This year eight projects are being conducted, two or three students working on each project. Design work has been completed on the projects, and the students are now starting the actual laboratory construction.
In an epsparatus for the absorption of gases, which is being constructed by Nelson Ehlers, e37, and Waldenar Sorenom, e37, the gases flow countercurrent to the fluid. The gases and react gases with the fluid, and the resulting product is withdrawn from the base of the tower.

'Erik' Makes Hit In First Performance Over the Air
Erik, new member of the Kansas Players cast which presents "To the Stars Through Difficulty," over station KFKU each day, starred in his initial performance of "The New School Teacher," last night. Although his diventating characterization took the form of pantomiming, it report that he has a pleasing voice and well rounded radio personality.
Other members of the cast included Joe Myers, 'cunl; James Bradford, 'cunl; Robert Robhde, c39; Martin Maloney, c27; Betty Ruth Smith, c37; Richard McCann, 'cunl; Charles C. and c37; and Charles Alexander, c39.
Incidentally, Erik is Director Rolla Nuckles' best friend. (You know a dog is mar's best friends.)
sures the rate of heat transfer of steam to oil. The cast-east iron division of the National Radiator company is designed for heating sections for this experiment.

but they may be transported by air pressure.
An experimental filter for the filtration of various sludges is being built by George W. Holman, e37; and Victor Golden, e37. It is being built from old 50-gallon drums used as storage tanks. The filter proper is being constructed of large standard pipe fittings.
George B. Hamilton, e37; and Joseph Lee Robertson, e37; are building a Moor Filter—a special type of filter that filters out very fine, divided material.
These projects are required of senior men in chemical engineering and require the last semester of their college work for completion. After this school year, the course in will be offered in the fall semester, more advanced chemical engineering calculations in the spring.
After Diligent Study, Schiller Shore Awards All Three Medals To Himself
He gave himself the award for being the greatest publicity seeker on the campus because he could find no other student who could come near to him in the art of obtaining free publicity. He said there were several who did a fair job in keeping their names in front of the
"After having spent several days in diligent research and in interviewing many students, I have developed the medals to myself," he said.
student body either through the Sour Owl, the Shin column, and through bene fide achievements, but that they had not mastered the art of getting their names in print over nothing.
The Shore Medals, given by Schiller Shore to the person who was the greatest publicity seeker on the campus, to the student who made the greatest contribution to humanity, and to the best work of art by a student, were all three awarded last night. He himself, announced late last night.
White Shoe Time Must Be Here Now.
The contribution which he considered of great benefit to humanity was his new style arch preservers which he designed and made several pairs to present to the local police officers last Christmas. The Arch-lifters consisted of a piece of cardboard cut to fit the inside of a shoe, through which a huge carpet tack was punched which was to prevent the wearers arches from settling. He said that his new principl eur muffs which were made out of leather, would see that the first would keep the wearer's ears from getting cold, ran a close second, but that he considered the arch preservers to be more uplifting to humanity.
The donor's portrait of George Snyder, called "Still Life," was adjudged the best work of art of the year. This picture was painted with printers ink inked on with a stick, and is a remarkable likeness of the campus cop. It now hangs in the Lawrence police station.
An attempt is being made to bring these creations up to the Kannan News Room where they can be put into their metals which were awarded them.
