Canuteus is to be congratulated for his handling of the student health than far. Twice already this year crises have occurred, and twice he has handled them, with the inadequate means provided, in a wholly adequate manner. Once the influenza filled the dwelling-house hospital to over-flowing, and he established an auxiliary. More recently a case of spinal meningitis was discovered on the Hill. Because of the conditions for spreading the disease which existed in this particular case, it was necessary to take precautionary measures. One hundred and forty cultures were taken and out of this number only thirteen were found that were not entirely satisfactory; those he isolated in the auxiliary hospital. Sunday all but three were released. Thus is coming to an end a situation which might have spread panic among the entire student body, as well as the Lawrence townpeople. With an efficient person at the head of the student hospital, it would appear that he should have the means he deems necessary for adequately taking care of the sick. This is what he says of the hospital now at his command: "Our quarters are cramped and unsatisfactory. We do need a new hospital." CAPITAL AT BAY The pipeline companies were freed from state control by the Supreme Court decision that they are engaged in interstate commerce, and Congress has failed to put them under the control of the interstate commerce commission. This means that one branch of a great public utility (uei, is entirely in the hands of a moneymaking corporation, since attempts to control the situation through distributing companies are obviously ineffective. The only wonder is that the public is able to buy gas at all. The new governor has a big task before him when he undertakes to fight the gas interests, already backed by judicial decision. The sympathy of the people is against them, but capital at bay is a formidable foe. The governor's purpose is a worthy one and he both needs and deserves the support of every householder in Kansas. THE INTERNATIONAL YOUTH THE INTERNATIONAL TOUCH Seventeen students of the University of Missouri intend to go to Europe in the role of private valetors for a cortege of mules. There is no doubt that the latter ought to profit by the daily contact which will of necessity be established. More seriously, though, some critics, who have been so ready to offer unkind words for the great group of American students who in the past have gone abroad in the ancient and accepted manner of "bumming" their way, will raise their hands in horror. On the whole, the student who is anxious enough to work his way, is not one of the pure fluster variety. In fact, by securing his world contacts in this manner he is the one who will be able to conduct himself as a better citizen in world affairs. This is a man who will make possible the "international mind" of which the sociologist talks. Those who understand cannot help give their hearty congratulations to these boys who have taken this hard honest American method of reaching out to embrace larger horizons than this little life ordinarily offers. KEEP QUIET There is only one day left before the black down of finals settles down upon the University. Anyone who has been in the University before knows that these exams are no joke. The majority of students is making an effort to do some intensive studying at the library, to get in those back reports and prepare that course outline. What is more exasperating than to get settled for a long nice study session and have people nearby carry on a perfectly trivial conversation? Some even create such a furore that a whole room is disturbed. The library is a place to study and is not intended to be a meeting place, or a good, old-time, social get-together. If students desire to together of thing let them go to the Union building or some campus eating place. Because a boy and girl sit together in the library they do not necessarily have to keep up a steady stream of conversation. Anyone who is planning to flunk out of school can make it without the least bit of trouble, but should have a little consideration for the other fellow who is plodding on the get by. CORN COR PIPES The father and inventor of the modern corn cob pipe is dead. The man whose invention has contributed so much real joy and solace to many individuals, mostly elderly men, hit on the values of corn cob pipes a half century ago when a neighbor asked him to bore out a large cob with his lath and to fashion him a pipe. amazing proportions that now nearly 29,000 acres of land in Franklin County, Mo., are devoted to the raising of particularly large cobs essential to the industry. The soil yields about 1,000 cobs or cob pipes to the acre. It seems hardly possible that the sale of such commonplace articles as corn cob pipes should assume such amazing proportions. And yet it is not strange either, when you consider that many men—especially the old-fashioned kind—prefer a corn cob pipe to the elaborately decorated ones that are usually given "father" for Christmas. Corn cob pipes are not considered quite "stylistic" enough by the younger generation, unless they become a jab just as "derbies" and "quats" occasionally do, but dancers are prone to look on the "old corn cob pipe" as an old friend. After all there is something appealing add home about a corn cob pipe, and after father is gone an old pipe may be remembered as a reminder of the days when he sat and dozed and dreamed and nudged upon it. Political log-rolling doesn't prduce presidential timber. There is no fool like an old one un less it is two young ones. We wonder if this "Poems In Praise of Practically Nothing" is all written about the author. Hends Kansas Bottlers—Headline, So Kansas isn't dry yet, after all Garrie Nation's work. A dog in California has been left $5,000 by his mistress. It sort of proves the old adage that "every dog has his day." Optimism is on the increase at K UL, judging from the early interests shown in second semester schedules. There is at least one woman student of the University who will be glad when the present ice wave subsides. She has been holding the boy friend from falling on the slick spots for about two weeks now. Al is now selling his campaign speeches at $2 a copy to help defray the $1,500,000 deficit in the Democratic party. For that price he ought to be able to throw in enough of the party planks to keep down the winter's fuel bill. Kansas to Lose One Member in House by Fractions Method of Computation Washington, Jan. 22—Reimposition litigation reported to the house house committee of the house is disappointing to many scientists and妈 After much shifting back and forth, the bill finally agreed upon in committee, makes the compartmentation on the basis of the census of 1980, using the U.S. Census Bureau's standard age distribution. The membership of the house is to be arbitrarily retained at the present figure of 45%. A shift of twelve members will take place as a result of the By the major-fraction's computation of computation, states which will hold members are: Missouri, 2; Indiana, 1; Iowa, 1; Kansas, 1; Kentucky, 1; Louisiana, 1; Mississippi, 1; North Carolina, 1; Oklahoma, 1; Texas, 1.

Today's Best Editorial HANDWRITING AND CHARACTERS Among the minor feats of clairvance, character reading through a dictionary, and leaping lever protective of violent disputes. It has afforded attachment to many, but few have given it to the earnest reader. The detective's forte. When the mysteries are made to play a practical part in life—that is, in his book—he will go to court to prove their weakness or validity. This is the case of a German grumphist. A man who had worked in the same places for fifteen years was suddenly discharged for no reason but he was not recommended him for another place and he was having a hard time when he learned that his handwriting was poor. He asked the employer qualities in his character. The employer had long amused himself by a study of hardwriting. One day he saw an example of a script to an expert graphologist. The opinion on the man who was tired was so unfavorable that not even his long Now he has taken his case to a Berlin court.

New York Times Campus Opinion The sensible and more level headed type of individuals in Kansas City has formed the "Association Opposed to Organizations" by organizing a "Ten Million Club, the purpose of which is to get 10,000,000 paper for presentation to congress. The sensible element in the country, unlauded, organizes a twenty million club to carry out an emblematic clutch of an organization of women who have honepicked their husbands to not look less cruel fields to community. Editor Daily Kunsan: --are the two pilgrims—we wish to live and die in peace. Many of us are from Kansas "The Bear State" and have been forced to drink a poor grade of wine. If he is well prepared to work, we will wear long whistles and be good citizens." Anyone can see that it will only be a matter of days until the club will bring hitherto unknown figures. The people who know the club only bounds. The writer gives the thing a boost by organizing a club against prohibition and will call it "the last chance to cost anything to be an active member." On the other hand (on the other five dollars) is the prize for an active member, but there is no present the thing to Congress either, but will take it over to Russia and say, "there is a group of people in the United States who try. Liberty has been denied us in that land across the Atlantic. We The major-fractions method of computation, in the opinion of Prof. Friedrich Sauer, was chosen by the titularian of Harvard University, one which 'cannot be defended as an evidence' of his practice. DON'T BE LATE for finals—a few extra minutes may bring that necessary inspiration. Let us adjust your watch. - Eight stutes will gain the 12 members to his list by the above names: Olio, Michigan; Olio, Ohio; Michigan; Connecticut; New Jersey; North Carolina; 1. New York; 1. North Carolina; 1. It is a method, he says, "which cannot be properly understood except in conjunction with a precisely analogous method known as the major bias." The method of major fractions has a distinct bias in favor of the larger states, while the method of the harder states has a lower bias in favor of the smaller states. Method is Not Understood "Between these two methods" he says, "stands the method of equal difficulty. The former is naturally shown to have no bias in favor of either the larger or the smaller." Briefly stated, it may be said that were the proportion in method or composition of each state to regard to any one state would work out according to the following equations: 435 house members: Total 1990 population: X house members: Population of Said State. Suppressing the 1920 population of the United States to be 126,000,000. One congressman, may he said, be 435. 758,883. If there are to be 435 congressmen. "Major fractions" roughly works out in this way: One Congressman to Each State The constitution provides that each state, except for one congressman. This proviso, to some extent, upset the computations, because population figures in certain states, would not give these states the same representation according to the proportional method or the major fractions method. Certain mathematicians, appearing We understand that the W. C. T. U. in this towa is even trying to get signatures.

On one occasion, he said that he knew *m*2*w* mathematics and statisticians were on record in favor of the problem, but in his mind, said in his mind, the problem involved wan properly a constitutional one rather than a mathematical one, and he was not confident that the American Political Science Association for consideration and report. Number Should Be Proportional Provisions of the constitution are merely that "the number of representatives assigned to each state shall be equal to the population of the state," with the provisio that one state shall have at least one represi Professor Hamilton is convinced that the proportional method is the only method which is scientifically fair to all the states. Mathematically, he says, it has no bias in favor of the lighter or the smaller states. The major fractional basis of computation has been used once before in the representation for the various states, and also for the representation for the various states. It was also used in 18407.
