Don't it about time for Father's car to go home? Express expenses have been saved and "rush week" is over—now we would like to have a little quiet and the assurance of being able to cross the street in safety. Maybe it's too much to ask, but again, isn't it time?

Lovelock and Cunningham Meet October 3
London, Sept. 16—(UP-Jack Love-
lock, 1600-meter champion, sailed
aboard the Queen Mary for New York
with a new strategy plotted out to
establish a new world's record for the mile.
The middle distance ace will be pitched in a "mile race of the century" at Prinstone, New Jersey, Oct. 3, against Gleen Cunningham, Archie San Romani, Den Lash, Phil Edwards and one other runner who will be picked from Gene Venake, Liu Beccall, of Italy, and Eric Liu of Sweden.
"I have been working out in secret developing a new running plan which I believe will see me through," Love-lock said.
"My greatest difficulty appears to be that the Americans will combine to 'box me' and they will 'arrange' one of their men to win. That would be legitimate tactics but I think I have the answer in my new plan.
Lash and San Romani are unknowl-
competitors to me but most of all I
fear Cunningham. He can go on break-
out games, he can get back to the race man. I take off my hat to him.
"However, I hope to put a sort of boo-oo' dover him."
Washington, Sept. 16—(UP)—Smoke of political political skierings cleared away tonight as primary returns decided major battle lines for November and declared a nationally prominent senator out of office.
Lovelock stated that running races and not setting records was his ambition. He will hang up his track鞋子 for two years following the Princeton
New Hampshire turned back Senator George H. Mose, Republican, in his attempt to regain his once potent place in national affairs.
Massachusetts pitted James M. Curley against Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., in the senatorial race.

Senator James A. Couzens, Michigan, a wearer of the toga, lost his fight for renomination to Gov. Wilbur Bruker.
Couzens Defeated In Michigan Primary
Of the primary elections, Michigan was the most carefully watched. Republican leaders saw significance in the fact that three of every five votes in a special election were cast by both parties interpreted the Michigan voters in the light of their own view

Holt, Demo Rebel. Offers Gov.Landon WPA Graft Data
BULLETIN
Young West Virginian
Gives Another Chance
For New Deal to Clean
Up Projects
Topaka, Sept. 16—(UP) —The rebel Democrat, youthful Senator Rush D. Holt of West Virginia tonight offered Gov. A. M. Landon “all of my data on WPA graft” because he said he considered the relief administration a greater scandal than Teapot Dome.
He declined to say whether he would support the Kansas governor although he was willing to give the administration his approval. He really intended to clean up WPA.
"I was favorably impressed with some of the things Gov. Landon said while we talked about WPA and liberal" the Senate's young most member said after a luncheon with the Republic president nominee to whom he explained his charges of graft and politics in relief.
Holt's suit was the only political interruption in Governor Landon's reunion with his family at the executive mansion. He had not seen them since he left Colorado at the beginning of his campaign.
Only Political Meeting
He reported by telephone this afternoon that he would devote most of the day to getting "re-acquainted" he did not go to his office.
Tomorrow he will confer with Governor Hoffman of New Jersey and Henry Field of Sheandao, Iowa.
On Friday he will address a group of Young Republicans from all parts of the nation. It was announced that acceptances had been received from Young Republicans in 46 states and state chairman Fred A. Seddon said the wally would be an impressive political demonstration. J. Kenneth Bradley, chairman of the Republican publics, will preside and the Governor's speech will be broadcast.
Sneezes Near Completion
The speeches which Governor Lan-
don will deliver on farm policies,
reproval trade agreements and socia-
security on next week's tour of Iowa
Minnesota and Wisconsin were reported
earning completion.
Tentatively he plans to leave Toekee early Tuesday, speak that night at Des Moines, where he will remain until the week after Thursday, speaking there that night and after another all day stop in the Twin Cities will continue to Milwaukee for the third speech on Saturday night before the form appearances will make enrollees.
It was understood that the Republican nominee was much interested in Holt's investigation of the WPA, an investigation which the Senator is to continue on his motor tour of the mid-Atlantic coast. The Senator Holt will next visit Nebraska.
"The politics and graft in relief is worst in my own state but Pennsylvania runs a close second for the rotest. I have not found it so bad out his way but my investigation has not been so complete."
"It includes," he said, "the payrolls in my own state and much other data and anyone who wants it may have it."
"Of course the WPA administration do not agree with me. They think it ought to be very secret."
The junior senator stated last night that he considered, "this data as public pronterity."
Includes Payrolls
He said that he believed the November election "would be very close."
Navy Establishes European Squadron After Seven Years
Vessels to be included in the squadron are: the heavy destroyer "Raleigh," destroyers "Kane" and "Hatfield" and the Coast Guard cutter "Cavana."

Beauty Queen Stocks Hit New Low On Local Market
The Navy Department's unexpected announcement came less than 24 hours after President Roseveit revealed that the United States could be forced to coastape province he would be four days away from the capital by train because of the acute situation in Europe. The officials considered the present situation the greatest threat of war in 15 years.
By James Porter, c'37
Many women of the University will be disappointed with the announcement that there will be but nine beauty queens in the Jayhawker and Sour Owl
The Jayhawker, which did much to publize the feminine pulchrade hereto from its earliest days, is a beautiful beauty queen, has cut the business luxury to the bone and this year, James Coleman, editor, will have but one queen in the last issue, to be known as "The Beauty Queen."
Dave Hamlin, editor of the humor publication, has decided on a policy of having one beauty queen in each of the schools from Kansas State College and four from here, each class in each school being allowed one queen, and these to be
What effect this drastic reduction in beauty queens will have on future women enrollment will be to see. Many of the fairer sex chose the University in preference to another school because of the fond hope that they, too, would become models with more than a hundred being chosen a year this hope was often realized.
Even the men will suffer from this policy. In years gone by the masculine brothers have gone home with tales to tell of the fascinating beauty queens they dated at the University, and the younger blooms in the town dreamed of the day they, too, could enroll at the great Kansas institution with so many dazzling queens. But now with beauty queens at a premium, what's a guy to do?

Democrats Demand
Maine Election Recount
New York, Sept. 16—(UP)—The Democratic party announced today that it would demand a recount of the vote in the Maine election in which Wallace W. White, Rep., defended Gov Lewis K. Johnson, for the United States Senate.
If the evidence shows such action necessary, party leaders stated, the fight would be carried to Washington where an attempt would be made to persuade the Senate not to seat White. White deviance by an apparent margin of 5,000 votes.
The Democratic spokesman today was Sen. Joseph Guffey of Pennsylvania of the Senatorial Campaign Committee, an organization charged with bringing about the election of as many Democrats as New York to confer with Guffey.
Politicians Aroused By Freshman Election
The opening gears heralding the first political contest of the year and marking an early fight for the freshman council vote was fired when the Pachacamac party, Hill political organization, distributed handbills to all new students at the freshman convolution Tuesday night.
The freshman election this year is expected to be one of the hardest fought political contests on the Hill for some time. The vote in the men's Council now stands 13 to 11 in favor of the Progressive Student Government League party, but because of the Republican's ability investigation the results of the freshman election may throw the control of the council either way.

Paddles Assume New Significance In Induction Rites
Freshman Cap Shortage Delays Wearing Until Special Fresh Meeting Next Week
Although the K-men will be on hand with their paddles at the Induction tonight, freshmen who have been unable to buy caps through a shortage at clothes need have only the Pads that appear only as symbolic traditions.
The program tonight will proceed as planned, the new students assembling on College Hill, then, after the ceremonies there, marching down to the Stadium for the lighting of the fire and Induction services.
A special meeting will be held next week at which caps will be required, for by that time the authorized dealers, Carr's, Ole's and the Palace, will have received their delayed orders. A number of caps each will be charged for the caps.
Shortage Temporary
In connection with that meeting. John Phillips, president of the Men's Student Council, said today:
Since the shortage of caps will be only temporary, freshmen are urged to buy them as soon as possible for the compulsory special meeting next
"The Student Council this year is handing the enforcement of the Freshmen traditions over to the freshmen. Of their own volition the freshmen are asked to observe those customs. Freshmen have worn their caps and goggles for their class for several decades. They constitute a mark of distinction.
The new freshmen must realize that the fate of this tradition rests with them. I cannot believe that they shall desire the extinction of a practice so venerable. I am convinced that the freshman class will assume this reverence and honor their bravery and honor wear the caps to which its members are entitled."
Rules to Be Enforced
Although the Induction will be capless, the following rules will be enforced with the special meeting next week:
2. All freshmen are required to purchase freshman caps (obtainable at nominal cost at local clothing stores), team jerseys, and freshman Induction Services, and to wear them until the close of the football season. Caps will be worn at the football games and at all times when on Sundays and after sundown.
1. All of the required meetings during Freshman Week must be attended and attendance cards must be turned in to the dean of men.
5. On days preceding football games, on the days of football games, fouls can be stopped by caps. The ribbons will measure eight inches in length and will be worn with a cap.
4. On the same days freshmen will walk only on the south side of the campus, and will cross the street only at designated zones.
5. No male student will take a date to a football game, save at the Homecoming game.
6. Attendance of all freshmen is required at the Night Shirt Parade Freshmen are also expected to participate actively in other student rallies.
