FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1930 VALENTINE DAY Styles have changed in many things, and in nothing more than in the kind of valentines and the way in which they are sent. When our grandparents were going to college, the entertaining lover sat up as late as 9 a'clock the night before, composing original verses to his fair lady-love. No ready-made, valentine for him, unless it be a sumptuous affair of paper lace, with tiny red hearts, blue doves, and white angles scattered over it. Gorgeous as these creations may have been, the lady-love usually preferred the tender couplet, triplet, or somet. But today, the campus king rushes downtown about 8 o'clock on the morning of Feb. 14 and hastily informs the telegraph clerk that he has forgotten to send anything in remembrance of the day to his present "names." The clark shows him a list of sample telegraphies which may be ordered by number and sent at a nominal charge. He selects a different one for each 'queen' and rushes to his eight-thirty class, feeling that he has started the day with a noble and philological act. ANTI-SOCIAL The library is for the use of all the students, and the reserve desk is provided so that when many must use the same few books they will he provided on call if others are not using them. To take these books works an unjustice on the other students who must use the books, on the University, for such action is theft, and on society in general. The library has been troubled by a few individuals who check books from the reserve desk and forget to return them. Recently one such offender was detected and suspended from the University for a semester. The punishment is just. Offenders are not always caught—so much the worse. If all could be detected and dealt with accordingly much of the anti-social element of the Hill would be removed; and we would have a better school. THE LONDON CONFERENCE Being a delegate to the London naval conference must be a very discouraging experience. From the outside at least, the whole meeting looks like a hopeless tangle that will take years to straighten out. Stimson's proposal for limitation of tonnage finds attempts for agreement from England and the United States, but the French are reported as not pleased by the suggestion. Italy is satisfied with the plan, and Japanese delegates are said to be keenly disappointed. And so it goes. At such a rate can the conference ever reach a satisfactory agreement? 7 Discouraging as it seems at first, yet it is encouraging to realize that the delegates are really working toward a definite goal. They are working earnestly, and a spirit of good will pervades their work. This in itself is an indication that the results will be a satisfactory. Prime Minister MacDonald, in a statement to the House of Commons, said that the conference was nearing agreement on difficulties relating to method of limitation of naval armament that have been troubling the countries of the world for years. Since nothing better has been held in the way of naval disarmament conferences the best we can do is to appreciate the efforts of the present conference and hope for the best possible outcome. OUR VALENTINE Now comes the day when those of us who are *love* (and who is not, or should not be?), we send to forth our hearts in paper valentines. Being callow and grown too old, not many of us dare. Valentines are too childish and too sentimental and such things must rigorously excluded as not being quite 100% American. Instead of displeasing a glorious paper monstrosity that exemplifies the most gorgeous and beautiful aspirations of a feathery brain, we sheepshily purchase something "practical", candy or flowers or a "real" and tangible present; or, being broke, maintain a discreet silence till the 14th is past; or, being malicious, wander down to the 10-cent store and broadside of evil-tongued darts that someone has ironically called "comic valentines. As against all these choices, we think we shall set up as one of our lares and penate a beautiful gewgaw on a shrine in the corner of the room; and place a chair carefully under the doorknob, so that friend roommate, a hard and brutal being, may not too suddenly enter and deride our elkon. OPPOSITION TO HUGHES Opposition to the appointment on Charles E. Hughes as chief justice of the United States is based on more serious and far-reaching contensions than Hughes' affiliations with capitalist interests during his private practice, LaFollette of Wisconsin phrases the attitude of the insurgent Republicans when he asserts that the issues raised by this nomination transcend the question of the character of the nominee, of his ability which, of course, no one in the debate has questioned. The insurgents argue that the Supreme Court has entered the field of judicial legislation. Instead of an impartial interpreter of the laws, it has become a body which assumes the privilege of passing on the social and economic right or wrong of issues brought before it. In this gradual usurpation of legislative powers by the Court, the senator from Wisconsin forces a time when the Court will be called upon to decide major issues brought before it directly in favor of either capitalistic or labor interests. Mr. Hughes, as the legal representative of powerful capitalistic interests in his private practice, would naturally be a prejudiced arbiter in such an event, they argue. The insurgents cite the case of the decision against the income-tax law one in which the Court entered the field of judicial legislation and defeated the popular will as expressed in the legislation enacted by Congress. On the other hand, the fact that many of Democrats, are in favor of the appointment would seem to indicate that his political opponents do not believe that his power to act as an impartial justice has been impaired by his representation of 54 wealthy clients before the Supreme Court in he last five years. NOCTURNAL HOURS Rolls of black clouds intertwen with grayish-white ones hang above the campus and the valley. Beneath the shadow of the campus lies the broad and fertile Wakauras valley. It is dark except for a few lights, while far across it looming over the overcast sky is a single wavering lamp. To some the scene would be a dival one, to others a cool-looking one, but to the imaginative mind it is weird and mysterious and beautiful. Evidently, the sight of tall buildings brings one back from dreams to earth. The dreamer sees the darkened valley as an ocean; the lone light in the distance is guiding him safely to shore, the several lights are steamers that pass in the night on their way to far-off corners of the world. A balmy breeze caresses the dreamer as he stands on the hill-top. We the people of Kansas in drummkins and booze-fighters. Walter Liggert says so and he knows. Didn't he make a trip into these dismal regions last summer on an inspection tour? He was able to get back without the Indians scaling him—but my what other evils did encounter! WE KNOW IT! Our county attorneys and prohibition enforcement agencies don't do a thing. There is more liquor consumed in our sunflower state than before the days of prohibition. A stranger can get a drink in any town or hamlet fifteen minutes after arriving. We are sure about that. Walter Liggett said so, and Liggett says very long to talk, or he probably would have revealed more startling and sensational things. Think of the publicity one could get by telling of the liquor parties of our Kansas governor, or "Pussyfoot" Johnson, or wild parties our church gatherings turn out to be Liggett didn't have very long to What a letter writer that man Lincoln must have been! If as many letters of his discovered in the next few years as were found in the past few years his fame as a letter writer will more than equal his fame as a statesman. The answer sent in by the Kansas attorney general evidently can't be trusted. Judging from what Liggett says, Mr. Smith probably was recking with alcohol. Oh, what a debaunched state our Kansas has become! My, my! We see that the tariff has been removed from straw hairs. Wonder how his will affect the hatless college oath? Special Health Officer to Study Psittacosis We notice that lately when a news- paper uses any profane term the ex- planation, "as Mr. Henderson says" follows. to Study Psittacosis Science Service Possibility that the end of the outbreak might be seen within a week was foretold by Assistant Surgeon General W. F. Draper. Washington..with a total of 26 cases of psittacosis and 3 death reported on Monday. In addition, a special study of the epidemic is now being made by Dr. Charles Armand, the director of the National Institute in co-operation with the health officers of the various states and cities. Doctor Armstrong will devote his entire time to his investigation, which will be made in the field as well as here in Washington. Women's Bureau. Department of Labor, to Study Machine Age Effects on Mind Washingtonn. The machine which increases a worker's production may also be the destructive agency which shatters his initiative, health, and interest in life, social workers at the Women's Bureau of the Department of Labor believe. They have asked Congress for a yearly appreciation of $6,000 to begin in 1950 an interesting study entitled, "Human Waste in Industry" and initiative that was made by the American Litter Commission. "One of the major problems of present industrial conditions," states the Women's Burden, "is connected with the great changes that are taking place in modern methods of production and the effect of these changes on the workers. "Dr. Julius Klein makes the statement that since 1920 the worker's肘穴 has increased 53.5 per cent, while during the preceding 20 years" Two Investigations Seek Parrot Fever Organism Reliance Services Washington—Two investigations of the bacteriology of pathiococcus or enterococcus have been to underway. Dr. Charles Armstrong and Dr. Randy Service has been informed of bacteriological work in progress by Dr. W. G. McLaughan, a consultant in Pittsburgh. The unofficial record of cases of parrot fever known to the U. S. Public Health Service through reports newspaper accounts now stands at 38. While Dr. Herbert C. Ward of the Maryland state health department laboratories at Baltimore has not yet definitely isolated the bacillus pattasciosis organism, Baltimore victims of the disease, he is on the trail of an organism that may turn out to be the guilty germ. An organism has been obtained from the blood of one of the patients but the patient still tells its exact relation to the disease. it had increased only 4.7 per cent and it did not involve methods of mass production can be of benefit to the nation only if it does not involve a dinamous amount of labor. "Women especially are engaged largely in the occupations classed as repetitive and are particularly susceptible to speeding up and mechanization." Since it could hardly be called a constructive policy, if workers produced greatly for a short time, they would not produce more at all, the Bureau wishes to drive into the matter and the ability of its workers to efficiency is all that it is said to be. The goal of such production is the increased well-being in the Nation, and steady producing ability over a long period of years, it is pointed out. Monotony, long hours, bad posture, speed, noise, poor ventilation are some factors that can lead to muscular man being to deteriorate. There are also psychological factors that must investigate, for ex- 917 Mass. St SUITINGS AND TOPCOATINGS — $35 and up Try our remodeling and repair department. We also clean and press.
