ECONOMIC DESPERATION
The radical departure of styles i women's clothing this fall, is a result of an economic problem. Styles during recent years have changed so little from season to season that costumes could be carried over from one year to the next and passed off as new. Naturally this meant, except in the case of easy money, or the fashion mind, a curtailment of expenditures by women, and for the merchant an alarming shrinkage in sales volume.
Whether women will accept this is still a question. Limited means are the rule and not the exception. Perhaps the female public will come to the realization that something is about to be "put over on it," and fashions will after all resemble not styles of 1830 but those of 1928.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
From the lips of no less ardent a pacifist than the internationally minded Bertrand Russell, lecturing Friday at Topeka, come the words, "It isolly to say that we shall never become so mad as to engage in another great war. That was paid before 1914." An odd expression, that for a pacifist, but not strange to come from Mr. Russell. Essentially a philosopher, he is not too blind by idealism to recognize reality.
Now that the first few months of college are over, and the strangeness and newness of going to a university has worn off, it is time for the freshman to stop and ask himself, "What am I here for?" And this can apply to upper classmen as well as freshmen.
Students spend only four or five years of life in college preparing for the future, laying foundations or which to build the character, habits and morals of a life that is to carry through this world for perhaps fifty or sixty more years. Only four or five years to prepare for life!
There are a few students who attend an institution of higher learning merely for social benefits, and to have a good time; but the majority come to prepare themselves for the battle when they get out in the world. With this point in mind, it is more beneficial, more remunerative, and more efficient, that plans be made, ideals and aims be set up, and the task of fulfilling them be started early in life, and in education.
What are we here for?
Corn Crop Better—Headline. W may have farm relief despite t senate.
REFREVIED—NOT PARDONED!
Appointment of Dr. Julius Curtius an German foreign minister to succeed the late Dr. Staeuwres Straussman in carrying out the provisions of the Young reparations plan, received favorable comment from anxious people on both sides of the water. Since the death of Doctor Streissmann, Allied powers have been wondering just how near to nothing the recent settlement would be brought should an antagonistic champion of Nationalist policy come into power.
A "Nationalist" opposition to the
long plan, basing its appeal to popular support on denial of war built as substantiated in the diplomatic archives of nations overturned at the close of the World War, has made some headway in the Germananks. A petition to dissolve the agreements of Doctor Streesmann in the Young plan, it seems, passed the required quota, even though it was vigorously opposed by the governmental administration. Yet, when viewed in the form of a referendum measure, the movement seems unlikely to succeed.
Sixty years ago, the Franco-Pussian war, propagated ruthlessly under the rule of Bismarck, achieved its purpose of French subjugation. But the French government shouldered the burden of indemnities and paid off the "rummus of war" so that the despised invaders might evacuate the French territory. The German people, like the French of 60 years ago, do not accept the charge of "war guilt," will nevertheless accept the simplest way to peace and progress.
The Y, M, C, A, solicitors are wondering if K. U, students ever spend an evening in their rooms.
WILL THE WARFARE CEASE?
Many students who have desired the cessation of campus warfare between K, U, and K, S, A. C. seem to think that the recent joint action taken by the student councils of both schools will not check the vindication. Most of them admit that the councils have taken a step in the right direction but they do not believe the rulings can be enforced.
This method of approach to the problem will stop 'future class fights' if the majority of students in each school really wish to stop this disagreeful and destructive rivalry. The few students who have been participating in these escapes have received a large amount of local notoriety in the past. These same students would not get nearly as much thrill out of painting the campus of the other school if they knew that they would not become 'heroes' when they returned, but might reap a sentence from the student council, instead. This factor alone will check the strife. Again, if the councils will make an honest effort to punish all offenders who are caught, and the students will support the councils in their efforts, there will be but one result—the abolition of future painting and hair-clipping parties.
Have you heard the new "tummy" song? "You're Mean To Me!"

Short Skirts Win Doctors Praise;
Hope 'Slaves of Fashion' Will Rebel
Washington, "An unmitigated evil," "unwhitful," "depronable," "unfortunate" are some of the comments of leading physicians when asked by Science Service to give their opinions of the newest styles of women's dress. These doctors have considered the probable effect on women's fashion and the styles of an earlier age. They agree that woman today is healthier than she was in the days of light-fitting correct and long, sweeping dresses.
Recalling the long full skirts worn 20 years ago, these physicians also prescribed the germ-laden clouds of dust and dried dirt that these skirts were built with.

OUT OF BED?
Roland Logan, veteran guard,偶然 known as "Raff," wasn't taught to care about his injury because of his crippled condition. But Raff reports he made the trip even if he didn't have much money. He went to a couple of other only one accident and that was Friday night when he fell out of bed. Raff says he wasn't hurt much because his training was good.
"Oh you know," said an advertising professor, "you just write the copy out on a separate sheet. Just do it and you're done to die for money or something."
Just One?
One of the best loved professors in the English department was handling back papers with his criticism on them. His hand writing is rather eccentric.
Any questions? he asked.
"I can't read one word here, frowned a student.
"One? Thank you for the compliment," laughed the professor.

Among them are two baronets, a baronet's wife who is also a marquis daughter, two King's Counsellors, one banker, three professors, five clergymen, two solicitors, four retired army officers, three officers, one chemist, ten harriers, one land owner, one Salvation Army commissioner and two cartoonists.
St. Louis—Goggles and protective devices have saved countless thousands in industry, Louis Reimer and his team have supported the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, here. The Society, the organization that promotes Safety Council, has just completed a survey to determine the results of the long campaign being conducted to raise awareness of safety issues.
Over 7,000 men and women during 1925 and 1927 were saved the loss of one or both eyes as a result of a gas explosion that was revealed. These figures were based on the number of goggles broken or showing evidence of having been splashed with molten metal or corroded glass. The blow strong enough to crack the goggle lens or metal or chemical that splashed the goggles would have seriously injured and perhaps destroyed the helmet had not been there to protect it.

The loss to industry from this cause, including compensation and other less direct costs, is conservatively estimated at $850,000 a year.

These physicians remembered, too, the tightly-correlated figure of some years ago. They remembered how the colon was formed by the normal, proper place in the body, and the intestines crowded with gas, necessary to achieve a "wasp wint."

Of course, the newest dresses are not wasp-waisted, and street dresses do not sweep the ground, far from it. The most fashionable dresses are those sons are asking whether the latest fashion of longer skirts, form-fitted dresses and corsets will stop where it is, or whether it will not swing all over the floor. The navin nineties and the early 1900's.
Long, full skirts, even if they do not reach the ground, and corsets, no matter how loosely fitted, are hard to wear. Doctors and physicians see harm enough in the new clothes if they do no more than keep women from engaging in the activities that they have kept them out in the fresh air and sunlight and given them new health and endurance in the years since the World War. Hampering women in their daily activities less agile in doing the present-day swiftly moving vehicles, and might prove an added危险 to those engaged in industrial operations.
Some leaders of the medical profession believe that with woman's later-acquired physical freedom has come a greater freedom of mind and spirit. But there is also the need to be a "slave to fashion" and will insist on the dress styles in which she has found greatest comfort, emulsion, and pictures, greatest health.
Assistant Professor of Industrial Medicine, Harvard Medical School. Boston—Regarding the recent attacks on women and the forms of dressing women, if the change means a return to close-fitting trousers or full skirts, the effect can only be very deplorable. This is especially true as affecting a woman's health, comfort and work activities.
By Dr. Alice Hamilton
Accidents will be more frequent if skirts are long and full, while tightly-fitting waists and increased weight of skirts will hamper free use
Chicago, I think the newest fashion in women's tight-fitting dresses and corors are an unfashionable and unattractive collection. The street wear are unhygienic. The loosely chad athletic woman had more freedom of movement, she was more graceful, healthier, and had more endurance than the prewomen type of women.

Baltimore,—1 death if any change in dress that American women work. Baltimore,—1 death if any health. The basic facts which are best for the preservation of health are listed here.
It is also my opinion that the American women now freed from the old restrictions of marriage and any change which is uncomfortable. The healthy, intelligent women will be happier with modern life.

He broke into a house in the fashionable Tierpannen section some years ago and was hailed he was interrupted by the return home of the occupants. Seeing that his only means of retreat was cut off, he sought refuge under a

Studying the Living Mayas of Mexico May Reveal Reason for Dying Culture
(Solomon Service)
Cold Spring Harbor, N. - Y. "What the glory of the Mayan civilization in prehistoric America has never been revived by any Indian descendant," said Dr. Erik Reis, who he understood, by studying the living Maya of Mexico. This is in the belief of Dr. H. H. Laughlin, eugenicist, with the Genetic Institution of Washington.
"It is possible for subsequent generations to be linear descendents of superior stocks, and still to be quite
Archaeologists have wondered why the fading of the old Mayan culture occurred, and why none of the Indians who claim descent from this ancient people did not have old artistry or intellectual power. Doctor Laughlin suggests that eugenics has a service to render to archaeology in solving this problem. They propose, to determine whether there are really any living Mayans who may be taken as lineal and uncropped descendants of the ancient Mayans. If they do so, their traits of their ancestors should be analyzed on the basis of their accomplishments, and the modern Mayans should be tested to see whether they have inherited any capacities along with those of their predecessor. If they have totally lost this inheritance, the decline of Mayan culture may be explained on the grounds of racial degeneracy, and the inability of Native Americans to Doctor Laughlin states.
different from such ancestors in certain qualities, or even to be degenerate in hereditary capacities", he explained.

The Maya offer a peculiarly fine opportunity for studying the part played by heredity and environment. The Maya often play it in limos, because it is daffoolish if any other country claims to have unique ancestors of the mixed and linear descendants of the men and women who developed and one of the world's high cultures.

If it can be shown that no such racial degeneracy overtook these Indians breeding out the abilities essential to their success, then that old question at least will be settled, and the search for the answer to the Mayan riddle can be shifted with confidence to the environmental factors.
