MEXICO'S NEW PRESIDENT
MEXICO'S NEW PRESIDENT
The inauguration of the new presidet of Mexico which took place Friday in Mexico City marked by a pleblication "friendship with the United States" the cause as Cailes and Oregon did.
The new president, Emilio Porfirio Gil is not a militarist, but a scholar and stateman. He is thoroughly in record with the policies of the Calle administration, which were in return, a reiteration of the policies of General Obregon, who would have been his successor but for the ballot of an assasinator. President Gil is a young man, believes in progress, humanity and brotherhood of nations.
FLOOD PROOF ROADS
An "above the water" policy which would bring all Kansas highways above the highest known water marks has been adopted by the state highway commission recently.
The first contract under the new ruling will be let in Pottawatomi county early in December, when one and one half miles of U. S. Highway No. 40 will be brought to standard grade which is above the Kawai river flood level.
The recent floods have undoubtedly brought about the action by the state highway commission. It seems a sane and sensible procedure to have flood proof roads which will be high enough so that they can be used under all probable conditions. During the recent Kansas floods travelers were held up for days because of the flooded highways, thereby causing inconvenience and in some instances losses. Highway construction is so expensive that it is the duty of the commission to foresee the obstacles in the future which would prevent permanent roads from being accessible every day in the year.
RURAL DEPOPULATION
Young persons are leaving the farm for two main reasons, according to W. M. Jardine, Secretary of Agriculture. These reasons are that farmers have larger families than city folks and many people do not like rural life. But the cityward movement of the American farm population has decreased considerably in recent times. The average loss of farm population for the past eight years is 400,000 a year. The net loss last year was only 122,000.
This state of affairs may indicate that the farmer is not so bad off after all. Secretary Jardine said, "It is an evidence of health and progress. Continuance of present tendencies in the movement of farm population may bring us within a few years to a point at which the annual loss will not exceed the proportion necessary to allow for draining off the excess in natural increase and for the drop in labor requirements."
Kansas is an agricultural state and depends on its farming for growth and progress. The matter of farm relief is particularly interesting to Kansas. Actual help for farming people would be acceptable, but Kansas wheat growers and stock raisers will not care for any half-done, high sounding, impractical plan of aiding the rural class. Kansas farmers are hoping that congress will let quibbling alone on this farm relief question and get down to business.
With a decent chance Kanas is ready to show that agriculture can hold its own in the United States. The decreasing exodus of rural pergs to the urban district may be a significant tendency of this readiness that seems to exist within the farming areas.
OUR DEMOCRATIC COUNTRYMEN
Many columns of the covert front space in our newspapers have been taken up the past week with the story of the marriage of an American girl to the nephew, second cousin, grandfather, godmother or what-have-you of the King of Sweden. "Then greatest matrimonial coup ever achieved on this side of the Atlantic" the correspondents said, and the editors ranked it along with the stock market boom, the latest murder and Mr. Hoover's south sea riac as "top-head" news.
And the veteran news-boundes who handed the story did not base their actions on sentiment; they knew that millions of their subscribers would read eagerly every word of the marriage of Miss Estelle Manville and Count Fokke Bernadette. They knew that although the constitution may provide that "all men are created equal," it did not apply to women. Or perhaps they recognized constitution, or no constitution, is part of human nature to have idiots to worship.
A KING'S HEALTH
King George of England is ill. His physicians issue bulletins several times daily to inform anxious subjects about his condition.
Kings of the present day have come to be more figureheads on the ships of state than anything else. Today the illness and possible death even of so important a figure as the King of England does not have the political significance it would have, and one hundred and fifty years ago. Then the serious illness of an English king could have held dire possibilities for the rest of the world. His successor might change established policies and form new alliances which would reshape the map of Europe or even of the world.
It is to be wondered whether the present situation might have more uneasy significance for other nations if a premier or some other powerful political leader were ill, instead of the hereditary ruler. It is, however, increasingly doubtful whether the world will ever again wait with hated breath for the next heartbeat of any one leader.

ONCE IN A BLUE MOON
IN A BLUE MOON It is now most that a total excursion of the moon is made to the United States and for as long a time as a full hour, such as was the case last Tuesday morning. And yet its advent was not looked forward to with any great preparations. The lunar eclipse has long since ceased to arouse anything more than mild astonishment in the average observer, while to the astronomer it simply affords the opportunity to check up the time of its occurrence and help correct the equations for the motions of the moon and earth, and to obtain evidence with regard to a few other simple points of investigation which the moon possesses qualities of luminosity and heat radiations of its own.
Waltha there is something fascinating about an eclipse, if for no other reason than because we are in a region wherefrom the ordinary individual may gain appreciation of the extent to which mankind has learned to rob nature from us. None can observe an eclipse without realizing why the people of long ago would have been forced to relying aspect. But today a child knows that it is simply an interesting incident without occur implicla-
A total eclipse of the moon differs from a similar event in relation to the sun, in so far as the moon is not completely dark when in eclipse, as it is when on the moon. Instead, a reddish hair distinguishes it, the earth's air giving it this sun color, just as it does to the things on the earth at sunrise or at sunset. If we go looking at the moon's face would appear completely black when照ed. In 1927 during a total eclipse of the sun, some observers at Belfast, Ire., fancied that the moon might be a star-like tinge, possibly due to this same factor of the earth's air. Anyhow, an eclipse such as the one that has just occurred, in its length of duration, could be called a lunar moon, be said to occur but once in a blue moon—Christian Science Monitor.
Puzzling Sickness in South America Traced Back to Blood-Sucking Gnat
New York, Dec. 4—Modern science has taken the final step in the conquest of a disease that afflicted the old Icelans before the Spanish invaded Peru and that has persisted in that country until our time. The final work was done according to plans arranged by the late D. Hideo Nagai (now before he sailed for Africa where he died last spring, a victim of yellow fever which he was studying). The ancient disease, known as Grypos fever or corrureus is caused by a germ and is transmitted by a blood-sucking bait. It was first discovered in Peru in 1508 when the best institute will report on the forthcoming issue of Science.

"Inside Stuff"
The comphit that art—painting, drawing, design, and son on—does not get enough space in the Kansan room from time to time and that is foundation for the statement "No Insider here publicly protests that it is not entirely the Kansan's fault." It those in charge of the various parts of the system, from time to time will realize that news is motion, action, change in the physical universe, some improve-ments in the way things hang on the wall is not particularly news. But the unpacking of those pictures, the hanging of them, the hanging of them, the hanging of them, the hanging of them, all are news. Upon these "news pegs" as a basis it should be possible to hang all the secondary facts which are not news but which go to the bottom, that required a degree required in viewing the exhibit.

TEUTION
Another movement in this direction is seen in it, the announcement that the University of Georgia has joined the effort to develop an arm that all students above the sophomore year to make a B averages. This move will allow the university to threaten piles into obscurity.
With pledges, the situation is not quite the same. Here, the influence and authority of the fraternity is less than in other cases to the problem in that a pledge is on trial. Objections have been raised to counting his marks upon the general fraternity record, and publishing them as part of the pledge averages from that of the fraternity as a whole would relieve the fraternities of the low marks of a certain class which generally leaves its members an adult man year, a class which the administration might eliminate earlier than it does. Minneapolis Daily
There seems to be a rather conceived plot on foot among the authorities to make universities actual institutions of learning. The prosecution of Okhama on a tuition basis has this view at least indirectly in mind; it is said that too many of the idle students are more involved advantage of the big idea fraternity houses, the student council dances and the football games, and leave it with no contribution but a hand made embrogium on the table of the university.
May fate and the board of regents defer that either is put in force in this school — Oklahoma Daily
This, one must admit, makes it rather hard on the taxpayers; one must sympathize to some extent with the shoppers, and to limit those coming to the university to the individuals who are an education, bad enough to pay for.
There are things to be said on both sides of barrier and protest; but on the present face of it, it seems that the student who is really poor to pay tuition, but who is really rich to pay tuition,ication, and the second fails to consider the legion who could not possibly maintain an average of B, but who need a college degree in their own community.
WHY INCLUDE PLEDGES?
Scolhistic deficiencies in fraternity groups have recently provoked much fateful discussion. The theory upon which such discussions are based is responsible for the general scolhistic average of its members, is that the fraternity bus supervision of and exertion of these activities is an application of each man to his studies. It is natural that such responsibility should be assumed by organizationists for fraternity work for good or bad. But just how far does the authority and influence of the fraternity extend? Certainly, it depends on whether the subject to the rules and regulations of the fraternity. But does it embrace that often rather numerous norms "ammo" who have not yet graduated?
Every fraternity has some of these inactive members who spend little time at the fraternity house, who are responsible for the authority of the fraternity, and who sometimes receive grades which are not in compliance with the equity, In equity, liability cannot be imposed where the party in question had no responsibility which entailed that the member then are evidently being held for the scholastic attainment of those over whom they have little or no authority, the fraternity low in scholarship might declare a delinquent member inactive in order to bolster up the chapter
The disease is characterized by numerous warts which vary in size from small red prominences to munitions on the skin. The warts are often verruca, refers particularly to these warts. The nilimum is also often present. It fever and meningitis and is often fatal.
The investigators who have retain the bone are the ones by proving their presence and the disease in the joint or the grant are the late Dr. Noguchi Raymond C. Summers, Kevin B. Kullet, and James L. Baxter.
An American entomologist, Charles H. T. Townsend, found that a gene called phlebothem is in the guilty transmitter. The Rockefeller investigator specializes in finding genes that are capable of curing the virus.
Its occurrences is confined to certain narrow clefts in the mountains of Pan. During the construction of the workers died of the disease. It was noticed that only those who staged an attack were wounded by kick. This led scientific investigations to suspect that an insect was stirring it, particularly an insect that lives under the skin.
During the last century scientists were not sure that the two diseases Oryza fever and varicella, were the same, because some patients had oryza fever and no varicella. To settle the question, a medical students, David Carrion, insulated himself on both arms with tissue juice taken from the warts of variegata. He developed Oryza fever and another of the martyrs of science.
THE COURAGE OF CONVICTION
Meet people who prefers to think at all have their own theories and superstitions. So, a student coming to college, brings with him his priests and ancestral superstitions, and he thinks that those questions who thought that he had all great questions settled once and for all, finds instead that the teachings of the university come into conflict with, nay more, directly conquerive comes or even all of his grand illusory
In this period of stress and conflict there separate out three main types of students.
First, a fairly large group with logic proof brain, whom nothing can move these supervive scientific facts that there is a very small group, the intelligent, thinking men, who can see reason and have the strength of reasoning, and therefore formality with it. These are the ones to whom the world looks for progressive reform and upon whom indigenous thought resides. Then there is the third group, intermediate between these two, who the "solutions" which they brought with them treat their own biological and anatomical problems but they have not the mental courage or initiative to bring their views in line with modern knowledge. They may learn from the knowledge of impatience; they either wish that they had never come to college and retain that placid serious burn that they have to join the ranks of those who are intelligent enough to recognize the truth and brave enough to proclaim

TO PROMOTE AVIATION
--people will be a long time catching up with the advanced political idea of the Nationalist leaders. The esential thing is that reform is proceeding. Progress is being made by the Nationalist China is being organised on a new and sounder basis. This country's action in being the first to negotiate a treaty which grants China full trutworth autonomy has been most helpfully done in other countries while along other countries will follow our example—Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
The first international Civil Aviation Conference, which opens in Washington on December 12, promises to be the most important gathering of the aviation community. A conference was first suggested by President Coolidge as a fitting way to foster new understanding of the history of the first flight of a power-driven aircraft by the Wright brothers. Invitations have been sent to all airlines and carriers, to the sessions. Although none of the delegations has been officially issued, many world famous fliers will attend.
The main purpose, however, is not so much to ditch upon the progress in aviation during the last quarter of a century as to "provide an intergenerational bridge" between aircraft in commerce and industry." For the conference should provide an excellent opportunity for the discussion of aeronautical problems by the best qualified commercial aviators. It will also be the pooling of experience and ideas by world leaders in commercial aeronomies will benefit all the nations represented and may indicate a definite trend for future development of the industry.

Now treaties with Germany and Britain have been signed. The British Nationalist party, reopening of the British and American couples at Nanking, Wushu'tian's announcement to Nanking, the government's transition to the Nationalist Government are all indications that China is making all progress toward normality.
It will be hard to say if the treasur schedule is to be announced. It is expected that it will improve heavy burrows on furniture and on such nearby buildings in China while devying a comparatively light burden on those necessary articles which the Chinese proponent believes.
Reform in administrative methods is only beginning. Those who expected that the conquest of Pokémon by China would lead to a one regime would be followed at once by reform have been disappointed.
