SOME WHISTLE
For the past several days the University whistle which is supposed t designate the various class period has failed miserably in its duty. It has either failed to blow or all has been several minutes behind time. Under such an irregular schedule even the few time that it has sent forth its warning on time were confusing. It would seem that something could be done so that the whistle could be denounced upon.
MORE WORK
Many are the students who are arcing the professors who pile in work at the end of the semester. They wish their classes to turn in creditable records, yet they prevent the working out of the whole scheme by their heavy late assignments. When several professors do that, the result is inevitably disastrous to the class work and morale of the student body.
GASOLINE TAX
Practice what you preach, members of the faculty. Get your work planned on time.
Students of government and finance have long been dissatisfied with the present taxing system of which the general property tax is the basis. So far their efforts to show where it is unfair and where it may be evaded have failed to prove to the people and to the law makers that a better system should be devised. Nevertheless, progress is being made. The income tax was a step in this direction. Taxes should be distributed according to ability to pay.
The gasoline tax is another step toward a fairer plan of tax distribution. It is not charged according to ability to pay. But what is practically the same, you pay as you ride. Those who use the highways are the ones who pay the tax.
This form of tax is comparatively new but its popularity is shown by the fact that it has been accepted by every state in the United States and every province in Canada. That its fairness is recognized is shown by the fact that states continue to increase the levy to meet new read construction programs.
WOMEN'S RIGHTS
At last a champion has appeared in the cause of the College man who thinks he must have a heavy date every night but has a limited income. "Fifty-fft-fft" dates for young men and women are advocated by Miss Nellie Lee Hoit, professor of religious education at Stevens College.
"Romantic, Victorian love is dead," she says. It has been dead for years except when it comes to paying on expenses. "The gallant knight of old."
Women have been asking for equal rights and the men have been granting them equal rights by degrees for years. First they acquired the right to vote; later they were granted the full privilege of being a strap-hanger. If they couldn't find a seat on a
street car. Now they have progressed to smoking men's cigarettes, drinking high-powered bulb, wearing men's clothes and, in fact, acquiring all masculine habits except paying their own bills.
A monument should be erected to the memory of Miss Holt and she should be loudly cheered for taking such a stand. Would that there were a thousand or so Miss Holts on the Kansas Campus!
EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES
France finds jobs for her people. More than one-fourth million workers are placed annually by the Seine department of the French Republic. One person in sixteen gets a job through these official bureaus. This system has proved successful all over that country.
Could the United States profit by the French nation's experience and organize a similar system? There seem to be no reason why America could not. The employment situation is one of the greatest problems of the present time. At present some cities have employment burans which function to some extent, but they do not seem to help much. In the large cities there are hundreds of unemployed men and equally as many families in poverty. During the barbecue season the government plays an active part in finding employment for the laborers, but it does not keep up the activity out through the year.
Is the United States as a progressive nation going to let France get ashal of her?
THE WALDORF ASTORIA
The Walderd Astorina, for years a famous New York hotel, is falling before the onslaught of changing times. Presidents, distinguished visitors from all over the world, and the wealthiest of America have graced
the halls of the building that is now being torn down to make way for new offices. Nothing is allowed to stand in the way of the interests of the great god, Business.
Ambitions Westerlind felt as though they were established if they had resided even a short time in the Waldoft. Many persons maintained a residency there even though they occupied it only a few weeks a year, because the social prestige was priceless. Newer and more modern hotels have come and gone, but the Waldoft retained its social superiority.
But now the halk are deserted and destruction is in progress. The gray parties have given over to the sound of hammers and moving equipment. Before many months the click of type-writers, and hurried footsteps of busy business men will be the ordinary familiar sounds around the place. The romance of a century will be pushed into history by the heavy and drak world of money-makers.

Ireland's government is one of the easiest in the world to assemble. Musolini has merely to bring himself to the desk, and he is at hand. In his person there resumes the Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, of Internal Affairs, the Army, Navy, Aeronautics and Public Works. Only five posts remain in other hands. How soon will the diehard take them over? No one dares say.

Supply of Mackeral Seiners Forcast by Fisheries Expert for This Year
Washington.—At this session of the year, the mackerel seawaters at Gloucester and other fishing ports are bily engaged in outfitting their boats for the Southern fishery and the lover of fresh mackerel is looking forward to the day when the freshly caught fish will appear on his menu. The fisherman is at sen as to whether mackerel will be abundant again this year, and later the cold storage man will be at a boss. The fishermen will benefit from a motion action helping for an abundant supply of lower prices later in order that we may have our mackerel the year round. Naturally, mature information on the probable abundance of fish will benefit the trade in making their plans for the season, subtracting uncertainties and contributing to the stability of industry and therefore to

TRAITORS TO TRADITION
Traditions are only customs which run no chance of becoming habits. To follow tradition always requires a conscious effort to be present; it is not to be despised, yet requiring such unnatural things is only another great big box-ear for fallow. (That may not be spelled with the letter 'a', nor another speller is still hokum!)
It's a modern superstition that we should tip out hat to the flag as if we were making obeisance to an Irish man or woman, but the good book. We shout courageous-alogues and battle great and bloody encounters for the gain of Wall street. It's also to remember that all that needs to be done is to declare war, and more young men trod the same endless roads with the same courage, and the same myth in their minds.
Here on the campus it is less serious as a rule, although the cry of war will keep frantically in the best of the lot. But ordinarily our traditions are only such little, neatest things as a rule to handle the caeses are just as enthusiastic and just as hearty rooters as anyone else; and such non-rooters as restricted ones shall note or "to boon shalt note" or "to boon shalt note" which have been enforced through a mean little trick of labeling if you break them you are a traitor , whereas if you break the rule to the same effect you would be bothered with a heavy hawkbreakers. It's a smooth system . . . and pretty darn clever.

PATRIOTISM AND REM ROW
New York World.
PATRIOTISM AND RUMOUR
There are other rhetoric here about the assault showed the Court Guard patting to seer for a tour of duty on Rum Row. A half-dozen of the small patrols had been there eyes turning over the propellers, see their prows cutting the water. So far, so good. But when it did, they were provoking the company or by actual chance, a rum runner was sighted. At once the deck of one of the patrol boats, which had been fired a shot, and sailors fired a shot, And what did the audience do? It hissed in a moment there was another shot, and there was another shot, and the bastars were applauded.
We must confess we found this disturbing. There was a time when news of the death of members of the United States were shown on the screen, a bag, a gun or a uniform, it would have been roughly copied into action against an enemy, it would have been cheered and the Star-Stangled Runner." People were patriotic then and really felt respect for this great country we live in. But when we saw that man, not a bit of a bit, there was only annoying contempt, and it did not strike me. When he was about to have a bia about it, but it seems to that an honest dry, if I had heard those bisses must have been somewhat less bitter than to think about. When people show open hostility to the uniform doing what they see, it is of affairs that is far from healthy.

Start Right
The supply of such pelagic or sun face swimming fishes as mackerel and herring is largely dependent upon unusually fast growth which in the agreement the stocks in the sea and provide good fishing as long as such rich year classes remain abundant. Additions to the supply in intertwining years too small for survival are difficult.
From 1899 to 1885, an annual catch of more than 70 million pounds of fish was not uncommon and occasionally as much as 100 million pounds were caught. From the late 19th century and for forty years annual catches of from 5 to 25 million pounds have
As a result of a fairly large brood in 1921 and an even better one in 1923, we now have a dance in the catches beginning with 1925. In that year the catch was 34 million pounds and 1965, 17 million pounds in 1927, and 34 million pounds in 1928. Thus we are able to observe the rise in catches over the years. Evidently unlearn another rich your class appears to enjoy for 40 year level between 1988 and 1925.
Fortunately the 1927 year chap appears to have been good but just how much he has grown in 1928, it contributed over 1,600,600 pounds of *tinker* size increased and this year's catch will reveal more. We can conclude from the brood is. This year the 1927 brood will be two years old, weighing about 5,800 pounds of fish which will weigh two pounds or more.
O. E. Sette of the U.S. Berenau o Fisheries, has been starling the mock eel fishery, analyzing each year's data to understand the formation which will be helpful in forecasting the abundance of mackerel. A year ago he predicted that the number of outstreams will be 12% per cent and now predicts a further decline of 30 to 50 per cent in the catch of the older fish of 1923. Another study by Sesse in the 1927 year class cannot yet be estimated, it 48 unsafe to predict the catch of older fish of 1923 years class, we may have another record catch in 1929, made up largely of two sizes or age groups, one measuring 14 to 15 inches in size and the other 46 inches or more.
