RAH, RAH, RAH-RAH
The precipitate crash of the pyramid stock market last week has given the signal for the clearing sections backing the great game of American business to come to the aid of the stricter players. One reads on every hand that the breaks of the stocks will be good for business elsewhere, that the industry of speculation has no direct relation to the genuine wealth-producing occupations of the land, and that the loss of a few billions in paper profits simply writes off the hedgers supposed wealth that never really existed. The chevroners are working hard!
No effort is being made to revive the prerate robots, repair the broken robots of General Motors, or mend the other players injured in the last contexts. All attention is being turned towards maintaining confidence in general business stability. That poor business conditions, lower prices and widespread unemployment may be just around the corner seems ridiculous. Is not America the wealthiest nation on the earth? Are not her 118 million people buzzing like bees, spending, earning and spending? Has she not just assured us of another four years of prosperity?
But was it not ridicules in March 1920 to forecast anything except great wealth and happiness for the future? Did not all the world owe us gold? Were we not working at the highest key in history? Had we not just won a war to insure uninterrupted pursuit of wealth? The cheerleaders were busy on every band then, too. We heard continuously of the uninterrupted prosperity ahead. But the prices did weaken. In fact they collapsed. Many farms and businesses bought on the predictions of the cheerleaders, were sold for mortgages and the United States spent several years trying to find good old Mother Earth again after her war-time flyer. It is not impossible that she will spend some time in the near future again trying to find termina after her fling at Wall Street.
BY PLAY
News that war appears imminent between Bolivia and Paraguay should give certain leaders a good laugh. Of course this is just a South American joke and will be a bit hard for a lot of people to understand.
But is not Mr. Hoover in Southern waters to encourage countries down there to become friendly with the United States and to remain friendly with one another? Is not his good ship the U. S. M. Maryland a symbol of peace? Will not his visit assure us of a peaceful group of neighbors to the South? For now that he has begun his friendship tour, people down there realize that their "great protector" in North America is always looking to their interests, does not want to make its investments good by force and is not anxious to annex lands for canals.
At. Hewer is probably sitting comfortably in a deck chair or whatever they sit on on a battleship and clucking over the playful and friendly booing of Bolivia and Paraguay. He knows it was all done as a little stunt for his enjoyment while he came to seater olive branches and other tokens of peace.
SUPERSTITION
Thoughts come trickling back of the days that used to be when one thinks of the wave of superstition which has been found prevalent in Pennsylvania following a recent murder. The deceased was supposed to be bewitched. Two thoughts are the most peignant. One of these is "The world is no different"; and the other deals with the cherriflops of glee that the historians use to have at the expense of the student when he read of the Sahar witchcraft cases.
After all, belief in the occult has not been limited to the Dark Ages. So-called educated man today is just as full of the ancient prejudices and apprehensions as many of lcp forbears were. The only thing that is needed is to allow these fears to come to the surface.
There was a time when most of us believed devoutly in the bearing properties of "smalt" water, felt sure that holding a toad in the hand produced warts, and that the way to remove them was to take a black cat to a perfectly reputable graveyard at the hour of midnight, swing it around three times and cast it over the left shoulder in the dark of the moon. The hawks possessed or paw wex proagregators were those in commission. Why did we ever have to be told that we should not believe in magic?
THE WORLD ARMS
Chronic international relations are leading the world toward war, according to David Lloyd George. The British war premier and further that France now has four times as many rifles and three times as many machine guns as Germany bad when the war lasted. He continued, "Neither the Locarnon or Keblegg past will be of the slytest unless we observe the letter of the covenant which binds us to reduce armament to the lowest point compatible with security."
Simultaneously, Premier Mussolini of Italy was warning his deputation that "the truth is that the whole world is arming." He also said, "It is advisable we harbor no illusion about the general political situation in Europe. We do not want to perturb the European equilibrium, but we must be waterful." His further expressed an opinion that the Kellogg pact is too sublime to be very practicable.
*Mention of President-elect, more warship cruise to South America may not be inappropriate in connection with these warnings of increased armaments. When Lloyd George observes, "Since we signed the Kellogg peace armaments steadily are increasing," and If Dice asserts, "Newspapers daily are recording the launches of submarines and other devices which certainly are not peaceful!" there may be grounds for some alarm over the possibility of another world war within the near future. If the peace plans are not being out by the signatories, there is something wrong with our diplomacy, or, in a larger way, with our civilization. Something must be done. Somebody must have the courage to stop this rattling of the saber. The selfishness of nationalism seeking expansion over others must be superceded by the greater spirit of internationalism and brotherhood. The world cannot afford another conflict of blood and iron!
At last comes justification. We always maintained it was the teacher's fault when we flunked French and now the scientists of Stanford University have proved it. Tests there have shown that the students studying languages there are more intelligent than those in other courses, but still a greater percentage funk That's vindication for us!
Kansan headline: "What the Well Dressed College Man Will Wear—And the Women Will not!" We'll bite. What is it? A mustache?
"Fish strangles fisherman,"—headline. Just another example of the man biting the dog to make news.
Examinations may be blessings in disguise, but we'll have to admit the disguise is perfect.
If the electric lights go out you don't call the attendant. Yet if a news story is wrong many people will call the advertising department. What's more, many persons appear on the paper first person connected with the paper who happens along. Pity the paper cub! Everyone of his friends hold him individually re-recorded, and it's not like they don't like the Korean, when in fact said cub probably hasn't had a story printed for weeks. Certainly the cub, not being in an executive office, isn't responsible for editorial work.
Temple of the Warriors, in Yucatan. Is Reconstructed Above Older Ruins
Washington, Dec. 11—The task of rebuilding the great ruin of the temple of the Warriors in the city of Chichén Itzal has at last been completed, as far as modern science can make the fallen stones stand again in their right places. This is the message when lord Morrison, in charge of the restoration project, announced on Wednesday he brought to the Institution on his return from Vietnam. The Temple of his Warriors, recémédio from the tropical jungle, stands again on its pyramid of four secreting stone terraces. Modern visitors may mount the stairway with its curved halusteres guarded by images of the feathered serpent, his patron deity of the city. They can walk about in the hall of the temple and marvel at the magnificence of the architecture of so many warriors, probably real heirs of prehistoric American battles.
"Inside Stuff"
If a complaint is worth making, it is worth making directly to the *C* department, in good deed of the commons' union about newspapers in general and the Kannan in particular are just an easy way to keep them off the ground. I didn't believe that he'd go hunt the least muddy spot in the Knaw. So spare the poor cub. He isn't responsible.

But we do have in mind an incident in our experience that as an arctic and royal Kansan gave us a personal interest in Rock Chalk.
It was a score of years, or more,
since we were at K, U. in response
to an invitation to deliver an address
of the College of Journalism at the University.
Chancellor Strong had been hovering for weeks between life and death, but he was not alone. He had recovered sufficiently to come that morning to chapel, the first time he knew it.
Arriving at Lawrence the night before, we were invited to chapel exercises, and given a send on the rostrum, among the "distinguished vis-à-vis" Doctor Something. President of an law college, wan to address the students.
was the first time wed ever been inside of a school of "higher learning" because she pressed with the magnitude and magnificent importance of this wonderful experience.
All set, and all expectant when the tail form of the Chancellor, face a big crowd, and all stand up in their places, as though an imperial potentate was entering. The audience is blue—Blue the University song—and then they gave Rock Chalk as we have heard.
Rock Chalk is an incident of that Rock Chalk in our in our inards. It renewed our fuelline. It Kansas. It was an inspiration—it is a thing intimate and personal to all nails.
The place was packed to capacity, by the fine young men and women students.

The sun heats down of the carved stone blocks, so the roof is not accurately replaced. In the sanctuary the stone altars used for human sacrifice, has been made from coral and is crowned with carved human figures. The project of restoring the temple became extremely complicated when Mr. Murri discovered traces of antiquity on the stone blocks. This older temple was torn down, perhaps by some ambition priest or statueman who wanted to construct a painted pillow were piled in as filling material or an ordinary building stones in the new structure. Once the artifact was excavated the archaeologist tunnels and excavated until they had cleared out the rooms of the temple. Careful planning of the walls and doors ensured the safety of both structures, and now the roof of the old temple forms the 180r
The older temple existed for only a short time before it was torn down, and only 15 of its plaster on the walls. The later temple had 131 of its plaster in the course of its construction, required renovating afterward once a year in that hurried, troubled climate can only be maintained by a long-term repair, however, that both temples are of comparatively late architecture. The Warrior Temple is believed to date from the Bronze Age.
Paintings found during the past season are a valuable addition to old American art. In shaking a pit outside the buried temple, Mr. Morris painted a tower on the walls of the basement in the oat room. The vertical face of the bench was covered with painted designs of great interest. The single cluster of tiles that compose the front of the bench housed burgundy tile and burgundy tile have yielded more wall painting than all other excavated ruins in Central America, Mr. Morris reports. These paintings, when interpreted by specialists, may shed light on the history of the Maya metropolis.

Merely one of the curious forms complexes are wont to take but the same attitude seems to be taken by the larger number of a large number of the profession. Actorors on the legitimate stage or in the variety houses speak of themselves as "artists, no matter if they are acting or appreciation of art as So Hose is from Marlboro. When the show goes not over one never bears this type place the blame on them or the audience, for "the strain, the "spotlight man was late with his cue" or "the orchestra was rotten" or "the audience was a bune
On the other hand really great artists show them their desire for admiration in public, a few admittedly neurotic exceptions to the contrary notwithstanding. But the attitude has changed much too much to lower the whole profession in the eyes of their public, and causes the later to grow green around the gills and demand their money back when a mediocre violinist walks off the stage. And then they three take a cabbage on the stage during a New Year's eve show.

COSMOPOLITAN CLUB
How far would you travel to complete your education? Do you know where the nation's most solitary Club, representing five different nations, traveled an aggregate of 142,000 miles or an average of 7,800 miles each to get their higher education? From the Philippine Islands, five each from Hawaii and India, two from China and one from Japan. Sixteen active members of the club are Americas.
Students come from India by two routes, one by the Atlantic ocean, or nearly fifteen thousand miles, and the other by the Pacific, or nearly ten thousand miles. Students come from Hawaii are the closest, being only 5,000 miles from this country.
"Distance doesn't make so much difference when we have to come so far anyway. After we decide to come to this country to get a better education we come without considering our country'sary," and one student from India.
