Kansas State Professor Dies of Heart Disease
Dr. E. L. [Tague Received Three Degrees at University
Manhattan, Kan., Jan. 12-Believed to be a victim of heart disease, the body of Dr. Edgar Lemuel Tague, 60, professor of chemistry, was found in a washroom in the chemistry building at Kansas State College yesterday. A graduate of the University of Kansas, he held the degrees of bachelor of arts, '08, master of arts, '09, and doctor of philosophy, '24, all attained while a student at Lawrence
Besides being a professor of chemistry, Dr. Tague was assistant in protein in chemistry for the agricultural experimental station. He became a member of the college faculty in 1914.
Mrs. Tague became worried when her husband failed to arrive at noon. A search was instituted and his body was discovered. A physician estimated Dr. Tague had been dead at least two hours when his body was found. He suffered with heart trouble for some time, but his death was unexpected.
Before joining the faculty at Kansas State college, Dr. Tague was head of the department of chemistry of Washburn college in Topeka. He was the author of one book and co-author of another, and has written many technical articles for various magazines.
He is survived by the widow, two daughters, and a son.
Appointment to Swarthout
Dean Will serve on Musical Students Exchange Committee
Dean D. M. Swarthout of the School of Fine Arts, has recently been appointed to an honorary committee of the German-American Musical Students' exchange.
This committee will help in the exchange of talented music students between leading conservatories and departments of music in this country and such well known schools of music in Germany as the Hochschule for Music and the Sternisches Konservatorium in Berlin, The Staatliche Akademie der Tonkunst in Munich, the Wurtembergisch Hochschule for Music in Stuttgart and others of similar importance.
A scholarship in one of these schools carries with it free tuition for one academic year of nine months. Students elected pay their own transportation, room and board.
Athletic Board Needs End of Payment
Which Will Total $833
Paving Debts to Be Met
Final payments for paving of streets adjoining the stadium will be made this spring. Dr. F. C. Allen, director of athletics said today.
When the stadium was erected it was necessary to pave Eleventh street from Maine to the alley between Mississippi and Illinois, north of the stadium and the tennis courts, and also to improve McCook from Illinois to Mississippi. The total cost of this improvement, including interest on deferred payments, will be $833.434. The final payment, due before June 20, is $269.25.
In acquiring land for the stadium, the Physical Education corporation had to buy several houses, and now has four residences, valued at $13,000. Ownership of this land added to the paving bills.
MANHATTAN STUDENT COUNCIL
WILL ELECT TWO MEMBERS
Manhattan, Jan. 12-Selection of two members of the student council, from a group of nine candidates, will be made at an election on the Kansas State College campus this week. Two vacancies on the committee members, have reduced the number to five and made necessary the calling of an election.

Only Survivor of Battle of Little Big Horn Has Fleeting Glimpse of Campus
For 20 years or more, Comanche in his glass case, has greeted every visitor as he entered the main floor of the museum. This morning, workmen took him from his cage, placed him on a truck, and drove carefully across the campus to the temporary resting place.
Few of the students arriving for their eight thirties even turned to look. It was just a stuffed horse on a truck. They could not know the history and the sentiment that cluster about that animal which nearly 60 years ago bore

Captain Myles W. Keogh to the Wyoming battlefield. They could not know that for 15 years Comanche pinneder in a box stall at Ft Leavenworth, was honored as a constant reminder of the valiant Seventh Cavalry.
tain Keogh at Fort Riley, when the Seventh Cavalry was guarding the emigrant trains to the west, and when in 1688 the Cheyennes and the Arapahoe ventured north of the Arkansas river, contrary to treaties, Captain Keogh chose the buckskin for his own use in the Indian fighting.
The summer of 1871 was spent in western Kansas, and the winter at Fort Leavenworth, and then for two years, Comanche and his riders were engaged in running down illicit distillers and restraining the Ku Klux Klan in parts of the South. Aka home and rider returned to the Indian country.
When the expedition started for the Sioux country, in the summer of 1876, there were more than 700 men from the Seventh Cavalryfify some infantry, a few fatal guns, and a train of 150 rifles. They were on a series of rounds of ammunition for each soldier, all under command of General George Custer.
When Custer discovered the trail which indicated a thousand Indians had gone that way, he pressed forward with his 12 troops of cavalry, and he neared the Indian village, divided his force, sending part, under Major Renjo, along the river, while he and Major Benten took different higher routes over the hills.
Major Reno was soon forced to join Major Benten, but both were separated from Custer and his five troops by four miles of hilly country infested by the Indians. At the junction of two ravines, Custer dismounted troops 1
Sophomore Pictures Due
President of Class Urges Members to Turn In Jayhawker Photos
Sophomore class pictures for the next issue of the Jayhawker magazine must be turned in to the Jayhawker office by 5 p.m., Friday, Jan. 19, according to an announcement made this morning by Phil Bramwell, president of the sophomore class.
Bramwell states that he is particularly anxious that a large percentage of the sophomores place their pictures in the class section so that the class may be well represented, since this next issue is to be especially dedicated to their class and to have in it also, the sophomore beauty queens.
"I feel that in later years," he said, "it will be a great satisfaction to us all to be able to turn to our Jayhawkers and find there recorded the pictures and addresses of our entire class and a good representation for the sophomore issue of the Jayhawk."
The Oread Training School will meet Vinland High School in two basketball games tomorrow night in Robinson Gym. The second team game will start at 7 p.m. with Roy Klaas refereeing and the first game is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. with "Frosty" Cox as referee.

Library Knitting Introduced as Pastime for Study Hours
Students have been known to take their lunch to the library, also to eat popcorn while busy at the looks, to say nothing about the industrious gum chewers. The latest in pastimes while studying is knitting.
Knitting, it has been said, can easily be converted into ready cash. For instance, one sock can be knitted over Homer, or one wool wristlet made while leisurely scanning the interesting works of Shakespeare. The most work that can be accomplished in this line of work is a wool sweater, but this will take all of three nights work and a good series of deep economic books.
University at Seattle May Limit Class Rolls
Classes at the University of Washington at Seattle are to be limited to 18 students, providing the state legislature approves a bill appropriating $275,000 to relieve the University financial crisis, according to the University of Washington Daily.
Will Be Cut to 18 Students If State Legislature Passes Bill
At present, 33 student instructors are employed because of a shortage of funds and a sharply increased enrollment crowding classes. The new appropriation is destined to add 112 faculty instructors at $2,000 each, doing math and making each class limited to 18 students.
Originally a measure designed to aid the University and Washington State College, provided for an appropriation of $411,000 for the University, but the house of representatives, in committee, amended the bill to place $275,000 in the governor's emergency fund. The University had asked for $223,000 due to shortage of funds from increased enrollment.
Inability to collect taxes, and decreased revenue as a result of the 40 all tax, has reduced drastically the University's share of its budget based on a 5500 student enrollment.

Congressional Aim May Be to Return to Gold Standard
Present Measures Seek to Prevent Injury for Private Holders, Says Howey
This seeming inconsistency, wherein it is a penal offense to have in one's possession such an apparently useless thing as gold is explained in this fashion by R. S. Howey, assistant professor of economics:
Gold coin, under recent acts of Congress, cannot be used for the payment of debts, even though the instrument acknowledging the debt specified gold "of the present weight and fineness thereof" as the medium of payment.
All gold coin and unmined gold in the possession of individuals, under orders of the treasury department of the United States, must be turned into the treasury at once, under penalties of fine and imprisonment.
Howey Gives Reason
"The government is apparently looking forward to a time at which it may want to go back to the gold standard." said Professor Honey. "By getting all gold in the country into the treasury before the metal is again used for money, private citizens would not profit—nor lose—by a change in the quantity of gold in a coin. This, I believe, is the underlying reason for attempting to get all gold into the hands of the government.
"For example, when the present gold coinage was established, gold was worth $20.67 an ounce, and there was almost exactly $20 worth of gold in a $20 gold piece. Unminted gold is now being bought by the treasury at $34.06 an ounce, which makes the actual value of the gold in a $20 piece right close to $33. With gold at $34.06 an ounce, it would take less than 300 grains, instead of 4644 to make a golden double eagle."
Sketches History of Money
Professor Honey went on to point out that after all, gold and other metals are becoming less and less necessary as mediums of exchange.
He sketched the history of money, pointing out that in the beginning days of civilization men exchanged necessities of life—the man with a surplus of fish trading with the man who had a surplus of corn. Convenience brought the use of some common medium of exchange—the laboriously produced wampum of the Indian, or the metal, which because of its rarity, had an intrinsic value in the eyes of men.
"When it became inconvenient to carry about heavy money, paper was issued, to represent metal on deposit; and later the paper money represented commercial paper, which in turn was used for accounting. The "paper money, originally equal in amount to the metal backing it, came to be issued in greater proportions."
"Civilization is apparently coming to a time when the simple statement of value, by a responsible government, is all that needed to back money.
'Not Actually Off Standard'
"The government is not actually off the gold standard, but it is in imperative at the present time by proclamation of the president, using the authority given him by congress. The recent campaign to get hold of gold that people were hoarding was partly unsuccessful. There are about twelve billion dollars worth of gold in the world at the present time.
The United States has about $4,300,-
000,000 of this amount in its vaults.
About 19 million dollars was brought
into the bank and there are still 50
million unaccounted for.
"The gold standard is really valuable now only in international exchange, and this value is not certain, as the American citizen can not get hold of the gold to pay his international debts with. Not in the United States alone, but in practically all of the countries of the world, governments are facing a monetary problem. No doubt an international commission will agree on a settlement of all these monetary questions."
