NEW YORK ALUMNI
The New York Alumni Association is holding a banquet April 12. At this time it is only fitting that the University should stop to recall the importance and worth of this group. The New York association is one of the most active, in spite of its distance from the alma mater. It is also the strongest alumni association of any of the Missouri Valley schools. Its membership of more than 500 includes some of the outstanding business and professional men in New York. Graduates from the classes of 1875 to 1928 are on its rolls.
The Carruth Memorial poetry prize is the work of this group. From them came the idea and the $4000 foundation. Campaigns for funds and other important movements have always had their loyal support. It is who they had phonogram records made of "I'm a Jayhawk" and "The Crismon and the Blue." Kansas has no more loyal boosters and backers than the New York Alumni Association.
JUSTIFIED PROFESSIONALISM
Reno was innovated for an alibi the other day when a woman protesting divorce action laid the trouble to adiposity accustomed by a broken nose. Figure that out.
JUSTIFIED PROFESSIONALISM Probably the most fascinating thing about C. P. Cyle's second annual cross country "bumion derisory" is the absurdity of the whole idea. It is difficult to imagine anything less constructive and less worth while, than the idea of a horde of human beings trotting in their underwear three thousand miles across a continent, with no other end in view than a remote chance for cheap publicity and a remote chance to receive the outlandishly large reward offered to the winner. And it is difficult to imagine anything more incongruous than the staging of an absurd athletic event to draw crowds for a carnival and side show business, which is the real purpose of Mr. Pyle's big footrace.
However, if it should be proved that the scheme is based on good psychology, perhaps the idea will be widely copied. Professors of unpopular courses might bring students flocking to their classes, by staging them in the stadium in the form of a football game, with the class lecture surreptitiously inserted between halves, or possibly printed in the programs. Ministers, worried by the lack of religious zeal in present generations, might fill the pews of their churches to overflowing, by opening services with a fast box boun, or perhaps, with a thrilling hockey game. The crowd thereby being assembled, the minister could proceed with the intended work of the church. Merchants, in times of business depression, might throw the streets with shoppers, by sponsoring fifty yard dashes up and down the main thoroughfares at intervals of five minutes.
At last professionalism in athletics
could be justified. However, soon advice would be against consideration of such steps until the validity of the plan is demonstrated by Mr. Pyle in the side show business.
It's the biggest lie that wins the battle in Mexico these days when the casualty reports come in.
DIPLOMATIC SALARIES
The death of Ambassador Myron T. Herrick and the resignation of Alanson B. Houghton from his post in Great Britain have brought up the problem of getting two men who are willing to spend their own money in government service.
The United States is notorious for the low wages paid in its diplomatic service. The salary of $17,500 is only a drop in the bucket compared with what has to be spent by an American ambassador. One man who has seen service abroad and at home estimates that a private fortune of five million is needed to sustain the American representative in Paris. Mr. Herrick spent $1,500,000 of his own money while in office.
This is a deplorable condition. There are many men who would be n a credit to the United States in diplomatic offices if only they could afford it. Other countries pay the expenses of their representatives and thus make it worth while for men to take the positions. Sir Eseme Howard, British ambassador to the United States, receives $21,000 in salary, $87,000 for expenses and free use of a home and one or two automobiles, all of which amounts to about $150,000 a year. Sir Eseme was not wealthy and were not it for the generosity of his government he would not be able to serve. One of the men who was approached with the offer of the post in Paris laughed and said, "I would be bankrupt in three months." One of the best things President Hoover could do would be to supply adequate funds for diplomats.
BETWEEN TWO FIRES
If the Mexicans don't stop shooting and bombing so much, somebody or other than generals will be killed.
Situated half way between Mexico and Washington, D. C., the average midwestern notes with a great deal of relief that hostilities seem to be abating more or less in both sectors. With a Mexican revolution on the southwest, and a social war in the capital on the northeast, Kansas was beginning to feel uncomfortably situated between two fires. Matters looked very serious for a while. It was difficult to discern whether Mexico or Washington was eventually to be the scene of the greatest strife. But now, dispatches say that the backbone of the rebel forces has been broken in Mexico. And at last it has been decided where the second lady of the hand shall eat dinner at Washington, so now it seems that Kansas again may rest easy.

Devices of Modern Warfare Employed in Fighting Fire in American Oil Fields
Los Angeles, Cal.-Many of the devices used in modern warfare are now employed in American oil fields to fight that deadliest of enemies, fire breachers. Oil tanks, truck drivers, dug barriers, erected barriers per unit to work tunnels, armoring tunnels, and protect workers, the workers and gas masks and protective clothing quickly brought into use. It is expensive, but less costly than to let thousands of barrels of oil millions of cubic feet of gas burned to waste and endanger surrounding people.

EDUCATION'S TRUE PURPOSE
The armchairship or fringe, speaking in Yorkshire at the conference of head teachers, in his definition of the purpose of education made no mention of the power of the student. He did not even name instruction or its counterpart in a society that had office and end. The "primary factor in education is membership in a society." The life of the school is more than a room. The corporate some and the spirit of fellowship are essential, and the promotion which promotes these in "to the good."
As to games, they have their justification and are sane when unless affected by a technical fault. The type typed and "fixed." By then be doubtless meant, made a technical compromise with the computer. In the term "fixed" is difficult of interpretation, what he says in our chapter.
That any one thirty years of age should really care more about what happens in the athletic world than in the real world, people, public disaster and a private calamity.
The true purpose of education is not to train scholars but to "produce dominant aim of our public elementary and secondary education." The state institute, Eneron said. "To make the community more aware of its responsibility to increase his own economic, social or political advantage, but that the community may have benefit of what is public education on this training. It is on this theory alone that public support of education will be strengthened."
Professor Clark in his statement a few days ago said that the outstanding thing from all his study was "the offering of services in terms of the economic needs of society." Yet he went on to explain that education should be given for people who do not pay economically. Other income than the economic income must be taken into consideration. The comparison between the average world must be considered. The league of nations, to use the archbishop's illustration, should be more concerned with grown-ups, than the 'leagues' in our national groups. The true purpose of education will not be achieved until we sign an agreement in a world significance, as well as our nation's goals.

Our Contemporaries
Editor Daily Kansan;
The Athletic Department has put the University in the same class with the carpenter whose roof always is bare. The university used half-colling, and the preacher whose son is always the wore boy in town. It is rather poor advertising for an institution of higher education, as the defoliation of spelling rules is made on the poster advertising the Kansas Rakes. On every one of these signs, which lie the highway leads to, the word "Athletes" is spelled "Athletes."
Some of the persons responsible for the maintenance of sidewalks must be trusting to their gorillaian anpeels to save them from unpleasant consequences. They seem to be evicting an ignorant and dangerous person, which is dangerous to public safety.
Aged.
One of the flights of steps leading up from Tennessee to Eagle Ridge Road has been delayed. A flight is so looowed that it turns under one's foot. Two more steps are becoming less firm, so that the foot is just sinking into the floor and have occurred already as a result of this careless neglect. If a catch in the fall causes someone to mail in time save a damage suit?

CLAY FEET
Every precaution is taken to pre-vent oil fired fire. Smoking is pro-actively discouraged, and the vicinity of the wells; but there is at ever-present danger of fire from state electricity caused by the firefighting apparatus, lightning, carelessness and from other sources. Water has no effect on burns or heat, so it should not be drenched, fires rise high in the air like a gigantic blow torch and radiate heat which can cause even when photographs endower to take a picture of the spectacle from a vintage ground a hundred or more years old.
Two gushers which were ignited in the Santa Fe Springs oil field, one of them was so powerful that with each heat that more than a week passed before men marched in ashes and constantly sprinkled with fire, they melted, working distance of the flames. More than a month went by before the flow had cooled, shut off and be blaze thus starved.
Lady Actor couldn't, nor William Filden, nor Senator Borah's wife, nor Captainhero, world-famous marine hero. For a handful of ready cash he has made his names, reputation and the rest of the world. No one knows knowing that Texas Gunman reunited for a Lucky instead of a sweet, or that Old Golds never made Eddie Cantor's throat. We even know that Mary Fieldick confesses that she lowered a man who smokes a cigarette. Exploration of their names is expected. But when a man like Captain Fried, or his valet, carries on in his company.
The flames quickly melted to streakage the steel derricks above them and burned to charcoal nearby. We moved the fire hose to prevent the spread of the fire. Fire strings of tools and their tool belts were scattered in the danger zone, while more than a hundred men turned their attention from production of oil to fireballs.
A double offensive against the fire was begun. An earth barricade topped by a metal shipla was built up using a crane. Airplane motors equipped with propellers started in front of it to divert the heat so that workmen might dig a 210 foot tunnel to reach the well. Workers were assigned to Working night and day they excavated and shared the tunnel, then dug a chamber about the well easing preparatively to tapping it and leading to the pipe to pipes they laid as they tumbled.
Meanwhile, on the surface, men garbed in asbestos kept wet by fire breeze and fanned by the mistream of steam from the blaze and repeatedly attempted to install a "Christmas tree", or pipe and valve mechanism which would enable them to shut off the flow of gas or explode in flame or explosion every minute they were at work, especially when the time came to operate the shut-off valve by the fact that the fire, rather than submit to extinction by starvation of its oil and gas fuel supply or of the flames, could be controlled or shroud out through the joints. Success finally attended their efforts, however, and they extinguished the blaze just before their fellow-workers completed connections for underground.

Persistently through the literature of the world runs a broad strain of Utopian scribbings. Each dreamer is led to believe he will be happiness, a harmonious society, a faithful and ever-attractive mate, and the ability to turn out satisfactory copy. So far, the inhabited parts of earth fall a bit short of the earth.

When the asterisk down to be quiet and blue is crossed out we get up on the classes, and the women get up fifteen minutes to plan and do our homework. Then we shew瘪haps be happier.
Are we? Why, of course not. We wonder that life can be so meaningless, and that we must have to perseute loudly and annoyingly upon he deep, inner significance of existence. We wonder how we own unphilosophically everyone else is and how world-wise we are our ourselves. We wonder how many of others, and wonder how society can deserve one a ones ourselves.

PIPES OF PEACE
If the report should prove true that General Dawes is to be our next ambassador to England, he would have been invited to lead the English government. Instantly, unless British journalism is less alert than is generally believed, there would be comparisons between the pipe that General Dawes had with which Prime Minister Baldwin prefers. If the two were to meet, conversation could hardly be kept off this touching page. Mr. Dawes, Vice-President of the United States who used the "undersider" article. After explaining this, Mr. Dawes would want to know what brand of pipe he had used in his pipe stuffed into his pipe as he walked around the grounds of Chequers Court or inspected at home the pipes which he would rather encounter than marmor.
Pictures of the rival pipes would promptly appear, and all kinds of stories about them and their owners, in which they could be seen that it could not fail to be painted out that
