TUESDAY, MARCH 7.1933 A BLOW TO THE CREPE-HANGER The excellent spirit in which students, along with everybody else, have accepted the bank holiday and attendant discomfort is an encouraging sign for future recovery. When a people can accept a cession of banking facilities in a philosophical manner, without giving way to unreasoning hysteria, it is a sure sign that a step toward recovery in a financial crisis has been made. Warming to the cockles of hearts grown cynical and dispirited by the blows of the depression is the admirable way in which every one has forgotten petty squabbling and bickering and has exerted a co-operation that many believed impossible. Bankers, while knowing full well that their institutions could easily weather the storm, submitted without dissension to the national banking holiday. All have worked together in an effort to find a solution to the problem. Dealing a damage blow to the contentions of pessimists who believed the milk of human kindness had entirely dried up has been the co-operative spirit that has been evidenced everywhere. Lawrence merchants were quick to announce to students and faculty that their credit was good, and that their checks would be honored for purchases. Eating houses and the University cafeteria relax stern vigilance on credit accounts and students are assured that they needn't go hungry. The dean of the School of Law announces that members of the faculty of that school will guarantee any law student's demand note should he or his family be pressed for the necessities of life. On every hand has been shown the desire to "stick the thing out together." It's a grand old spirit, this one of the American people when they are faced with an emergency. And it is evidenced by $a$ courageous smile and the delivery of a three-word ultimatum to the possimists, moners, blues-singers, calamity-howlers, and crepe-hangers to take a one-way journey to the nether regions. Now that we have a musician in the new cabinet, it might be a good idea to have him get busy on the national anthem and fix it so we basses can sing it with some success. SCRIP The new medium of exchange, scrip, which is coming into wide use all over the country, is paper which represents actual deposits in banks and is usable as money, but cannot be cashed. Thus payrolls and other obligations can be met, and yet the cash reserves of the banks will not be depleted. Actually, scrip is a lien or obligation against the assets of the banks. A clearing house certificate is paper based on bank deposits and is issued by a group of banks rather than by one banking institution. As conditions return to normal and currency again comes into general use, the scrip will be cancelled by the banks as it is received for deposit. The present script which is beginning to circulate is not the first to be issued. Such an emergency currency was used in 1907, 1893, 1884, and 1873. A piece of script 112 years old was recently found in Canada and is still cashable at its face value, one pound. Most of the script now in use is secured currency issued locally for local use only. Under this system there is difficulty in obtaining full credit for the scrip of one clearing house outside the territory of that clearing house. For that reason some financiers are agitating for a national script backed by the federal government. The only place checks are good now is in the new patterns for spring. ANTON CERMAK A sad, ironic laugh filled with foreboding is rising all across the United States like one vast peak of thunder. The mayor of Chicago had to go to school to get killed. Yes, smile about it, a tight-lipped smile. Cermak is a martyr. All green figures are, when they die unnaturally. But Cermak is a martyr to the capitalistic boom that wound up in a sickening slide to a world catastrophe. His death may mark the beginning of a time of dissatisfaction and restlessness that will rock the United States. During the time of trouble that evidently lies ahead it will be vitally necessary for some persons to keep cool. These times are a challenge to students to play the game, "heads up." There should be an accounting, but one that is cool and deliberate. It will be possible to build a stronger people on the wreckage that lies around us, or it will be possible to have chaos. The choice lies largely with the men and women who have trained intellects, the students of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Fame is fleeting. According to radio reports, only "several hundred" people saw ex-president Hoover leave Washington March 4. DEARTH OF DATES Only sixy per cent of the students at Syracuse University date, says a news story in the Syracuse Daily Orange, quoting prominent sociology professor f that school. A great many institutions other than Syracuse are troubled with this "date complaint." College magazines the country over have tried various methods of stimulating the date market. Some have even printed lists of women with their specifications and telephone numbers. While not much has been said about the situation on Mount Oread, there is certainly a most marked decline in dating. Many reasons have been offered, chief among them being, of course, the depression. These Kansas students are hard. They've really been around. You can't fool them. All women addiggers and all men are heights. The lack of money hasn't slowed up the date market here so much as other factors, however. For one thing, on this campus both the men and the women are supersaturated with so-called sophistication. Every woman is sure that the intentions of the male are to no good purpose. The men are sure that the women are only dating them to get free shows and eats. About all this campus needs is a little more human understanding and lots more old-fashioned sparking. "What is this 'torium that all the banks want more of?" asks Clarice Co-ed.

COUNCIL; A NEW SYSTEM OF CONDUCTING CLASSES QUIPS from other QUILLS The lecture method of conducting college classes has met with much disapproval on the part of students in several educational institutions. They maintain that it is impossible for average students to take accurate notes on everything covered, and that inaccurate notes are worse than none at all. Then too, students who are so occupied with note-taking become mechanical stenographers, not real students. The W.S.G.A. Council will meet tonight at 7 o'clock in the Memorial Union building. HELEN HEASTON, President. As a remedy for the situation critics have suggested that professors begin printing or mimeographing their lectures, and passing out copies to members of the class. Obviously, such a system would eliminate the danger of inaccuracy in note-taking, and would enable students to give their undivided attention to what is being said. But despite the fact that written copies of lectures would eliminate the evil of inaccuracy, it is also quite probable that the plan would stereotype classroom procedure and make classes so inflexible that they would be dry and boresome. In any case, however, the proposed plan certainly has it points, and might at least be given a try. The May Day Mystery BY Octavus Roy Cohen CHAPTER XIV Copyright by Octavus Roy Cohen. WNU Services. 一 "You see," grinned Jim. "I'm a queer sort of a bird. Seems like all I can accomplish on a case is to find out who didn't do something. I reckon you still thinks I haven't had a bit of money out did. All that a fact?" "It is aunch Thayer didn't kill him. And if neither Vernon nor Miss Pegton killed him and he was dead somebody killed somebody, somebody killed him between times." Hanvey surveyed the group in his quiet, friendly manner. His somnolence eyes lightened on the face of Mike Camincio, the anxieton, and even though he looked at the man's face, every person in the room knew to whom he was speaking in the knees. They were too astonished to do more than stare. "You told me that you did boot-legging jobs together: that he would get the orders and you would supply the liquor. The last time you worked as an employee, you worked days before the killing. You told Mr Reagan and myself that Mr. Thayer had paid you for the liquor furnished on that last party, is that true?" "You and Mr Thayer were pretty good friends, weren't you?" Carlinhoe's eyes stare. "Yes, sir. Meester Haney." "You were in charge of the finances of that particular party, weren't you, Mr. Farrell?" "You see." "Have you ever paid either Pat Thayer or Mike Carmicino the two-bounded dollars that the liquor was supposed to cost?" Jim turned to Teddy Farrell, president of the fraternity. All eyes were bent upon the obvious action that was obvious to even the most inexperienced that he was desperately seeking to escape, which he felt was displeased with. There was just the faintest hint of iron in Jim's voice. You need about that, Carmine, he accused. "And I want to know why!" "You see," explained Hanvey smooth- ly, "tobble but Reagan and myself went into a frenzy of fingerprints on it. Just ourselves and the murderers. But he knew "I Told You Lie About Meester Thayer" He Suggested Suavely. Jim Hanvey was patient enough. And finally Carmichael's eyes lighted and he gave a pleasant smile and a soft answer. "Good for you, Mike. Mighty of you," Hanway情说 for a moment and then: "But isn't it true that you pay it all and will turn you over to the police for bootlegging if you dared squack? Don't it true that you occupy the national occupation of obtaining and selling liquor and when that he end to you to the police that I assumed that he was double-crossing you?" "I told you he about Meester he causes me to hate him, because he was good friend of mine. Meester he always pay me as soon he gets the money when the boss buys him. The porty detective appeared bat- fled. Carmichael radiated good humor - a sort of taut good humor--but he seemed at peace with the world. "That is entirely not true, Meester Hanvey." "Maybe you're right about that, Mike. But how about the knife with which Thayer was killed?" Carmicino's smile was dissipated for a moment, and when it reappeared, seemed rather forced. "What about it?" Carmicno asked softly. "Just this," said Haney in a caddy conversational tone. "Thayer double-money and he told me money then but he told you fatty that he intended to keep it, and you could go whistle—or else. You were sore as a gout and you said he couldn't pay for his tickets. He was now making stitches rather than asking questions. "You saw him go to his room on May first and you decided to have it out with a larger man than yourself and one who evidently wouldn't scare worth soap. So you remembered the collection of weapons in Max Vernon's barn, how worried the bluestone one which happened to be that Sicilian dagger. At the door John Reagan was tense, his body eyes never leaving Carmine's face. He was watching like a spy, and he was heading toward escape. The others were too stirred by the sudden change of events to do more than stare first at Carmine and then at the immeiable mobile face of his accuser. "later on," continued Hanvey smoothly, "when the whole fraternity house was buzzing with comment about Max Vernon frequently mentioned. You also knew that he had disappeared. You thought of the knife. Mr. Reagan yonder, had already come to see you before his last search you planted the knife in Vernon's clothes closest, knowing that it would be a mighty strong piece of evidence against him. So you got the guy kind of hoodied, Mike." meester hanvey." Jim smiled triumphantly. "Oh, yes, I can." "Because," announced Hanvey quietly, "your fingerprints are on the handle of the knife." "Oh, yes, "How?" Carmicino's face was stony, but his fixed smile was unchanged. "You can't prove none of that Carmelo leaped to his feet. "That is a life!" he shouted. "There were not any fingerprints on that knife." And now the Gargantuan detective became positively friendly. His words drilled honey. "How did you know that, Mike?" The expectators did not quite understand the byplay; they knew from Carmelino's glash of terror that something vital had occurred. "Yes sir. I put it on Mr Thayer's finger several seven days before he—before he died. It is my ring." "You can't prove none of that, He plunged a big bat into his bulging pocket and took them from a diamond ring. He waddled across the room and came to a hait before Ivy The girl's voice was trembling, but she answered without hesitation. "You know, Mike, because you very, very carefully polished all the fingerprints on that hand! I think we got you, Mitre Carmicchio. But even if I were to get it, we have one more piece of evidence. Just one, but it will prove a great deal." that it really was set-odense, maybe you'll have a chance." He turned to the others and bowed with elephantship and "and I'm glad you obeyed to every one." "Mr. Thayer never returned it to you?" "No, sir. He promised never to take it off his finger." Carmichael was quivering. Someone stepped from his lip. He leaped to his feet and broke forth into a torrent of words. His eyes rolled, his body "Good!" Jim smiled genially. "Yon too, folks, that little ring is mighty large. I'm sure he was trying to finger when the police got there. It was a fact stolen by whoever it was. I don't know if he was found by me personally where Mister Milco Carrillo had very carefully "Yes, I kill Thayer. I kill him, Meester Hanvey but I swear it was only after he attack' me." "That's all right, Mike." Hanvey's voice was gentle. "I'm glad you admit it was good. And you can prove They crowded about him and shook his hand. Reagan slipped a pair of handcuffs over Carmine's wrists. Alone with Hanvey's John Reagan turned to stare. "Sluh! John—I ain't so smart." "I'll be eventually d—" he said slowly. "There wasn't hardly a minute, fm. that I didnt think you were plain blundering dumb." "I figured that, John. . . . Well, I'm hot and tired. Let's be it." "Like thunder you don't. Man, I'm grateful. Only for you I'd have sent Max Vernon up for that thing, and about convincing an innocent person." "No o . . . I didn't forget. This aln't her ring." Reagan continued to display his astonishment. Then his eye fell upon a schizifying something that dlm was between thumb and forefinger. "Gosh, Jim," said Reagan, "you forgot to give Ivy Welch her ring." "You see," explained Harvey smooth- ly, "nobody but Hesgan and myself knee. No fingerprints on knife. Knee had fingerprints on it. Just ourselves—and the murderer. But he "Naw. I had to run a bluff, Bluer. You see. the kid is a good scout. She wanted the guilty man caught and arrested, and the city with me and helped me select an imitation which looked pretty much like a bluff. And there was and which had disappeared. Of course, the bluff happened to work, and it was a bluff. Carmello. I always was lucky, John." "Lucky? You're a wonder!" "Lucky? You're a wonder!" The mammoth detective sighed deeply and started for the door. "We've got just one more job, John. he said, "and then TJ hop the rattler for cooler weather." And Hanvey grinned like a schoolboy. "We'll have to search through Mike Carmelino's things until we really find Ivy's ring," he said. "Let's go!" THE END --in a story as new as tomorrow's newspaper.
