Apparances are oft-times misleadng. Tub Carlsen, of the Kappa Sig beaney, appeared to be starting a new dad last Wednesday night when his wife called for a corsage. They're all right Tub, but please—not at these races! Even though you didn't give her to her (she being donated by the sorority which she just pledged) don't let her do it – it might give someone else the idea.

We'd like to retract our statement in yesterday's column accusing Carby Trott of leaving school this semester. Securs Darbly didn't quit school after taking a year off, but returned to the hotel. The Fill Delt (apartently one of the second floor boys who gave us this "scop" yesterday confessed—he thought Trott he pulled out.

Canuteson Spikes Rumors
Boarding Clubs and Water Supply Are Not Causing Current Epidemic
The rumor that the stomach ailment known as infectious gastro-enteritis, which is now prevalent among people of Lawrence and University students, is either contracted from boarding buses or the milk or奶水供应 supply stations, according to Dr. Paul N. Canutan, accountered of the Walks Memorial hospital.
The boarding clubs and the milk and water supplies have been found to be in first class condition by Dr. J. Mott, city health officer Earnest Boyer, of the state board of sanitation; and Leon Baum, local milk sanitarian. The exact cause of the sickness which lists from one to four days, is similar to intersal influenza. It is contracted in a way similar to colds.
Dr. Ross Laybourn of the State Board of Healtl is examining cases in an effort to find the exact cause of the disease.

Molnar's 'Olympia' To Be Presented By Campus Actors
First Production of Play West of Mississippi Will Be Offered In Fraser
The Kansas Players will present as their second production of the season the brilliant concert, "Olympia," by Ferenc Molnar, which has been published in eight languages, and which has been presented in nearly every country in the world. It is one of the best and most brilliant plays of an all-around orchestra living dramatists of today. The play opens Monday for a four-day run.
The production in Fraser Theater,
however, will be the first west of the
Mississippi river. In 1926 the play had
a successful run in New York, and it
has been chosen for production by Alfred
Lunt and Lynn Fontaine.
The action of the play results from a well-planned situation which involves, with portending ruin, several members of the Austrian Royalty who are especially close to the Emperor. The setting is a great hotel in a wealthy resort in Hungary, and a party of four persons are representing the Emperor and his wife. On his birthday, the four are Olympia and her mother, the Princess Plata-Ettingen, Count Albert and his wife, Countess Lina.
Olympia Falls for Hussar
Olympia I a woman
during her way in the hotel
has failed to appear in a dashing, wittery, fearless young captain of Hussars who, with his bridge playing and his peerless conversation, has swept Olympia and her mother completely off their feet! Countess Lina, who is played with a great deal of comedy finesse by the princess, but the princess that unless Olympia sees captain away a scandal will result.
This Olympia does, after a command from her mother, who is terribly afraid of publicity. After doing some of the work for vacs, the captain, in order to teach Olympia a lesson in democracy, poses as a swindler, a card sharp, a cultured jajibird who speaks 11 languages, and a minister of jails in 17 different countries.
In an Amusing Situation
It is easily seen what the knowledge of this sort of past would do to the peace of mind of the royal person and daily seen in the captain's company.
NUMBER 24
An extremely amusing situation exists between the characters the Princess, played by Mrs. Crafton, and the Countess Lina. These characters are likely to be the high-lights of the show.
Other parts are taken by Professor Crafton as Colleen Kebl, Beth Ruth Smith as Olympia, Norbert Anschutz as Captain Kovacs, Charles Pikpin as the General, and Donald Dixon as Count Albert.
The play will run four nights in Fraser and then will be taken by the Kansas Players on a road tour of the state.
Tickets are available now at green hall, and students are urged to obtain seats early so as to avoid the last-minute rush.
Music Lecture Postponed
The lecture of Dr. Edmund Fellowes of London, England, which was to have been heard at the University last night was postponed because of the delay of Dr. Powell's train. The lecture will be heard this afternoon at 3:30 in the Addison auditorium. The public is invited and there will be no charge for admission.
Dr. Felwones will lecture on "The Rediscovery of Tudor Music" and will illuminate the songs with a large lute of the sixteenth century. He is the author of many books on the subject and is recognized as the best authority on the English mongolian.
Delayed Train Prevents Speaker's Appearing Here as Scheduled
Topeka, Feb. 14—(UP)—Unsettled tonight and Friday with snow probable. Not so cold tonight except in extreme east and extreme northwest portions. Colder Friday in northwest portions. Wind may become strong.
A lecture was given at the University in 1922 by Dr. Fellows on "The English Madrigal."
WEATHER FORECAST

Noted Vienna Boys' Choir Will Present Program
Singers To Be Offered As Concert Course Attraction
Wednesday evening, Feb. 19, will see the return of the famous Vienna Choir Boys as the fourth regular attraction on the University Concert Course. This historic choir is listed among the world's finest.
These twenty-two youngsters are members of a choir that had its inception in Maimoniel. For more than four years they were scholastic functions. Then it disappeared with the Hasburg monarchy at the close of the World War, but was rescued six years later. For two years she was on the guardian carrying on the organization from his private funds. Then the choir launched out to support itself, turning to secular music. It was a happy initiative, and high light in Vienna's musical season.
In the years past, the choir has enrolled in membership such famous names in music as Franz Schubert, who became the choir's soloist and conductor; Maude Haydn, remained a member from the age of eleven to sixteen. Joseph Haydn, another world renowned composer, was a typical choir boy, remaining a member of the school until sixteen when his voice broke. In recent years, Felix Koehler and two Wagner directors of the Wagner festivals at Bayeuv, was a choir boy.
Membership in the chair is so sought after that last year there were three of them. All of the boys attend the same public school that four centuries of choir boys have attended. In addition, they enjoy band lessons, and eight singling lessons a week.
The program Wednesday night will elude a scene from "Der Hausleiche Krieg" by Franz Schubert. It was especially arranged for the Vienna Choir Boys and will be given in costume as miniature opera.
Student Sunday to Be Observed
Student Sunday will be observed by the First Baptist Church next Sunday at 11:00. The students will participate in the service with the pastors and their mea- mens, e'und; and Mrs. Helen Cunningham, c'33. The student choir will join John Regier, c'37, as solist.
Speakers Discuss Neutrality Angles At Peace Meeting
Rev. Harrison, Chubb, Ishp, and Brockelbank Give Their Views on War Policies
Touching on a wide range of topics concerning the possibility of American neutility in case of a foreign conquest, she presented her dressed The Peace Action forum, sponsored by the University Peace Action committee. The meeting, attended by approximately 250 people, was held in the change of the Memorial Union building.
Prof. H. B. Chubb of the political science department, speaking on "American Neutrality," last night said that the American people have the habit of talking about rights, but seldom about duties. Today natalry books that are placed on our status books that will restrict our later activities, he said.
**ELECTIONS.**
Chubb felt interested that neutrality laws apply to subjects of contraband, visit and search, and blockade. Such laws existed as early as 1807 under Thomas Jefferson, but such pressure was brought to bear by big business interests of that time that they were removed from the statutes in 1890. As a result of their removal American entered into the War of 1812. Chubb pointed out that some people believe they should be forced to war if anyone questions them others believe they should be laid down by Congress.
"As a business proposition," he said, "neutrality laws should be placed in place. We should make sure that businesses should be made on big business interests that make money out of war. No neutrality laws will prevent us from making a military decision; many chances will be far more remote."
Prof. W. J. Brockelbank of the School of Law said that one should look upon neutrality laws as a department of a larger problem of war. Certain neutrality laws exist in nationalation, and, even though the United States is considered the most self-sufficient nation today, we are not willing to decrease our needs and become an enemy.
Rav. Carter Harrison stated that the Embargo药 Act of 1807, during Jefferson's administration caused American trade to drop one-fifth in six months' time. He believed the Non-Intercourse act both the British and the French still seized American ships and the only reason for the United States going to war in 1812 with England instead of France, was that it had the largest control of the sea.

Stirring Figures and Sirens of the Past Will Curtsy and Pirouette Tonight
Great figures of the Classic and Renaissance periods, and sirens of the past will meet tonight at the Memorial Union ballroom for the first time in the history of the school to celebrate the Beaux Arts Ball.
Parisian artists originated the idea of the Beaux Arts Ball, because it served as a means for them to exhibit their work to the public. It attracted a great deal of attention because so many people were interested in discovering new artists. It was given in the Latin quarters of Paris and at first was not elaborate in any way.
The wealthy people that attended gradually developed the ball into more of a society function. Men and women from all over the world constituted the artists' colony in Paris, and their interests were not confined to that city. Many of them also became the ball as being representative of different parts of the country. As a result, the spectacles with various classic episodes of the past.
Artists in New York continued the idea in this country. The first of the balls given by the architects in New York was held in 1912. It was called "Venice Through the Ages," and was given under the auspices of the Society of Beau Arts Architects. Various periods of history were represented, including the "Midsummer Ball" ("The Ball of the Gifts") "A Fate in the Garden of Versailles" "Napoleon," and "A Pagent of the Renaissance" were among the first ones to be held.
The Beaux Arts Balls in New York have the reputation of being the most sumptuous and beautiful given in this country or abroad. They surpass, so it follows that
and the respendant Covent Garden Ball of London. Thousands of people prominent in society and the world of art, literature and drama comprise the gaily costumed throne. Some are attired in silver Pierer coatlets of modern lines; medieval gowns of red wigs and a tunic adorned with a skull. Sent queen Isabella of Spain, Catherine of Aragon, and ladies of the Spanish court.
The funds received from the ticket sales make possible the holding of competitions and the sending of the winners to the exhibition at the famous Ecole des Beaux Arts.
Dr. James A. Naismith
The honorary art fraternity on the campus, Delta Phi Delta, composed of juniors and seniors with high scholastic backgrounds, will be given a work, decided it would be appropriate to have a Beauts Arts Ball in connection with the varsity dances. They are creating special murals and paintings to be displayed in the hallway of the ballroom will be a studio, three students will sit and sketch anyone who so desires. The members of the fraternity are planning on carrying out a Cafe De La Paris scene on the campus. Each portrait will be decorated to represent an art gallery.
The illustrious inventor of basketball will be fendt tomorrow night in the Jayhawk-Kansas Aigie game played on Saturday honor celebrating "Naismith Week."
Leibowitz Cracks Bruno's Nerve in Hour Interview
Noted Criminal Attorney Refuses To State Particulars
Trenton, N. J., Feb. 14—(UP)-Sam Leibwitz, the nation's best-known criminal lawyer, cracked Bruno Richard Hauptmann's nerve in a hour interview that may change the fate of Charles A. Lindbergh, the murderer of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. The attorney came out of the death house at Trenton State Prison, a wide smile on his face, and said: "It was a very satisfactory interview. Bruno broke down and cried like a child. I did not understand." "Did you get a confession?" someone shouted at him as he stood on the sidewalk outside the prison.
"No comment," Leibowitz replied. Mrs. Hauptmann was with him and she seemed more cheerful than at any time since Governor Harold Hofft, who had been in charge of death with a 30-day reprieve 28 hours before he was to be electrocuted. Leibowitz, who has saved 112 men from the electric chair, had said that he would not interest himself in Hauptmann's behalf unless the prisoner confronts one man could not have committed the crime but he also contends that the defense told "fish stories" on the witness stand at Flemington. It was assumed that Leibowitz would not have agreed to return San Salvador, where that Hauptmann was ready to co-operate in the line of defense mapped by the lawyer.
PROVISIONAL QUARANTINE PUT ON ATO FOR SCARLET FEVER
A provisional quarantine was placed on the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity house yesterday by Dr J. M. Mott, health officer, after Evan Beln, c36, a member of the organization, was taken to the Memorial hospital with scarlet fever.
Following the diagnosis, other members of the fraternity were given the Dick Test, in an effort to determine if any of them have contracted the disease. The house will remain under bar rules until outcome of the tests has been determined.
This is the first case of aacreet fever encountered so far this year at the University, and every precaution is being to guard against further outbreaks.

Doctor Naismith Will Be Honored Tomorrow Night
Program Between Halves of Kansas-Aggie Game To Be Broadcast over WREN
The Aggies will undoubtedly be out to blast the Jayhawk's hope for an undefended season which promises to be a test of their best from a spectator's viewpoint.
The University of Kansas will do its part tomorrow night in the nationwide honoring of Dr. James Naismith, "Father of Basketball", when the Kauai Agnews come to Lawrence for their third meeting of the season with the Jayhawk cage stars. The program honoring Dr. Naismith will take place between halves of the game and will be broadcast over station WREN start at 8:00 p.m. Speakers will be Chancellor Ernst H. Lindley, Governor M. L. Mandon; and Dr. James O'Brien M. Elbel will be master of ceremonies.
Javhawkers Primed
Coach F. C. Allen has detected a slight amount of easing up in his squad and is determined to prevent a slip-up through over-conference or a bit-down of moral. Daily scrimmages in which the starting five have plenty of hard work will probably be employed to push up a few weak points and keep the men in top shape.
Last year the Jayhawkers had the Big Six title within their grasp and then apparently went to pieces under the pressure of the Tigers were, like the present Wildcats, one of the cellar teams at that time, but they come through with an amazing success out of the Jayhawk's reach. Coach Allen is apparently taking every precaution to see that his quintet is prepared to stop any such happening this year.
Have Rigid Practice Rules
During the last few practices, Coach Allen has had Gordon Gray or Ernest Vanek referee during practice scrimmages while he ranged up and down the sidelines insert remarks and in-game calls. All of them have been called religiously and all the technical rules of the game have been emphasized. Concentration has been strong on free throws. The probable starting lineup, Ray Noble, Ray Ebling, Fred Pralle, Francis Kappelman, and Mit Allen has been opposed in scrimmage by a second group composed of Bob Holmer, Paul Rogers, and Wilmer Shaffer. Other squad members are frequently inserted into the second team lineup and those men are shifted to first team lineup to give them a trial.
Try Position Changes
Frequent trials are being made with Praile in the front line on defense and Noble shifted back into the guard position, but the regular positions seem to have been used to center jump from wearing to much on one man, Noble, Ebling, and Praille are practicing alternation of the jumping. Other than resting the men, this method serves to contuse the opposing hands; they do not watch the shift carefully.
Kansas State, with its team in much better condition mentally and physically than on the occasions of the other two Kansas-Kansas State meetings, has its chance for the glory of downing the conference leaders. After having made the Nebraska Corshuskets hustle as a team, they are encouraged as to their chances for an upset to be scored over the Jayhawkers.
Kansas Is Not a "Killer Team"
Kansas has not piled up its conference opponents. The Jayhawkers do not own a "killer-type" team, but rather one inclined to coast when a substantial margin has been attained. This deficit can be further exacerbated by an excellence in the execution of fundamentals. Dr. Allen goes on the theory that a man versed in the use of kickoffs makes him less likely to think about such things during a game and will therefore devote his timo to playing the game. Kansas goes into the game Saturday night a strong favors that doe buckets have been up-set before.
Entertainment between the halves will be devoted to the dedication of Kanas' Naismith night.
