SPILLED GASOLINE
Again fire has claimed a thoughtless victim. By the light of a cigarette lighter two Kansas City youths were filling the gasoline tank of their car. Some of the gasoline dripped on the hose of a girl companion, and she wanted to use the extent of the disaster. When boy escort did hold the lower down, the girl's hese became ignited. In receiving her one boy burned his hand unlucky. The car caught fire and was almost destroyed. All this happened because someone failed to realize the danger of introducing gasoline to an open flame. It is indeed tragic that each year a number of innocent victims must suffer searing burns, because they take such chances. Each year millions of dollars worth of property is destroyed because someone did not stop to think. Just such thoughtiness causes dozens of fires daily in the United States. When people will help the lesson and cause to expose themselves crucially to much danger?
DOGS AND STUDENTS
A kind hearted philanthropist of the age has made a contribution which has no parallel. For some time at least seventeen dogs will not have to worry for their evening meal or go shivering in the soldier for want of a friendly friend. Their kind hostess has left a will which provides that they shall be taken care of the rest of their natural lives. A friend has been appointed to see that the fortune, consisting of enough presumably to have a little left for the car�renter is apportioned so that Fido and his friends will not suffer.
It is impossible to look upon such a purrie attitude without somewhat of a feeling bordering on chargin, humer, or plain, old-fashioned disgust. It is evident that someone has failed in the successful scheme of things. Is it that society has failed to give this aged relief the so^c^n^r^e^n^r^a^n^r^a
MISSOURUS TURN BUT—
The day of all days in the K, U. football season is almost here; students are becoming restless, alumni are planning to get away from work for a white, and sports fans from the Missouri Valley are anxiously awaiting the sound of the first whistle. For next Saturday the Missouri Tiger and the Kansas Jayhawk will green each other at the Columbia stadium.
The same immense crowd which witnesses this battle each year promises to be on deck. The Kansans won the contest over a heavier Missouri team on the home field last year, but the Missourians are bent on turning the tables this season. However, the Jayhawkers will have something to say about that. The improved spirit of the Kansas eleven is of the same type as that which won over Missouri last year.
Kansas has not beaten Missouri at
Columbia for 6 years, but the proten-
ture of Coach Horgesis, with the backing of hundreds of K. U. students and thousands of alumani, are not anticipating a defeat. It seems to be a tradition that each team should win on its home field but Missouri has trampled on the Kansas eleven on the Tiger field long enough. This is Missouri's turn to win but Saturday night promises to bring "other another story."
UPHOLDING TRADITION
The bloody history of Venezuela, torn by revolution and internal strife almost continually since its liberation by Bolivar, bids fair to continue due to the actions of its latest dictator, Gomez. Because of the strictest censorship of all dispatches the true state of affairs in that country cannot be learned. But from a reliable resource it is estimated that Gomez has at least a thousand students in jail. The old cottles and jails are filled to overflowing and many other prisoners are working on the highways. Gomez uses an excuse for imprisoning the students the fact that they made a formal protest against the outrages of his government. Nothing in the constitution of the country makes this a crime. No mass meetings can be held there as churling policies and cavalry soon put an end to them.
It may have been too much to expect that the peace and quiet which Venezuela has had for a few years would continue. In the first place it is against a tradition that Gomes evidently believes in upholding. Also the old adage that might makes right has been applied to the country so long that dictators any feel a certain duty in practicing it. Sad to say, it has been very applicable to the history of Venezuela. Elections in that country are scheduled for next April, and Gomez, sensing defeat evidently intends to see that they are not held at all. Still another reason for his actions may be that the Venezuelan treasury is low, and he wishes a good excuse for being driven out. This would seem the proper procedure in the light of past experiences. If this is done the new dictator with the friendship of the people can levy new taxes, and fill the coffers of the treasury for his own use.
British women debaters who will tour America soon are wondering. If we can laugh at the same things Britishers do. Who said we were alive?
Suitors in Budapest who used soldiers for duel weapons may have been original in that respect, but the failer ever when they fought may not want other of them now that one is minus an ear and the other a part of his nose.

WHAT PRICE BOYISH FIGURES
At recent medical conventions in Chicago physicians who discussed the subject expressed general approval of their recommendations for persons who are so much overweight as to require reducing. They condemned in unmeasured terms, however, the presumption by women and girls not overweight who are consumed with a desire to attain and maintain the so-called "boyish figure" of boys and girls. They also remise of feminine charm.
Weight-reducing drugs are used in such quantities in the United States to threaten permanent injury to girls. By mail and through drug stores are distributed many nostrums that reduce weight but quite as certainly impair the health of persons with diabetes. The public health from that source is so great that the federal trade commission has undertaken a campaign to put out of business structure and sell the fake "remedies."
In the opinion of some medical authorities, almost equal harm results from the unintelligent following of foods, notably sugar, are rigorously excluded. The following of any reducing diet by persons who are not prone to diabetes and whose usual mistake to attribute superabundant flesh to the use of sugar or some other single ingredient of food. Overweight children are kind as it is a matter of quantity. Persons who need to reduce should reduce under the instructions of competent doctors, who pay too poorly paying too easily for "that beijing figure." — Chicago Daily News
Modern Development of Chemistry Has Strong Political Consequences
When I speak of the new field of chemical industry as the Synthetic Kingdom I have in mind something more than the more fierce that it consists in making new combinations of the chemical elements. It also makes new combinations of industries and brings together different countries as well as chemical elements. As the Synthetic Kingdom over-rides the traditional dividing lines between animal, mineral and vegetable, so also it over-ride the traditional boundary lines between the nations. It brings international competition which naturally results in the end in international development. This modern development of chemistry has strong political consequences. It promotes national independence and at the same time bores down natural

"Inside Stuff"
--everyone who is not too directly concerned with it. College is viewed from the outside through a rosy glass which seems to be unbreakable. It is more than a glaze, it is nurtured and shaped. The average persons see college as four care-free years of dancing, secrecy, midnight parties, football games, love affair and wrist prank. They are hard to explain. Fitting through this highly-colored atmosphere are the costs, pretty and superficial, spending their own money all day and some one else's all night. They also appear to never appear on the scene. Their exerts slough around in a cloakhose sort of garb, or dash by in roadstorms but are never seen unless accompanied by a cigarette. By a cigarette they appear on the scene. The professors who move thickly among these creatures are either absent-mindedly totering on the brink of the grave or else young, handsome and keen in art and science and utterly unfortunate. And in all this world of fun and devilry, study figures negatively, texts are despised as miscellaneous sketchbook and less assign-ment.
Do professors know grammar? One of them recently, with much caution, sent the letter to 20 reporters in general and Kansen reports in particular, approved a draft. The reporter sent it to the office and sent it to the office with notes that "it could not be improved by the authors."
The very first "sentence" contains no verb.
Our Contemporaries
Where did it come from then—this popular idea of college life? The students are responsible for it, in part, for youth loves to be thought of as wild and rockean and fears to any serious ambition or purpose.
THEV CAN ALL TALK BUT—
Speaking of the insert's inability to make a noise Sonea said, "Happy is the male cinders for his wife who has no desire to be heard. Greeks women have had a reputation for ability to talk yet it is no effort to find a woman who can make a noise. Their chief difficulty lies in getting started. The majority of unnatural women speakers spend three-fourths of their time explaining why they do not want to make noise and desse their remarks on the subject like the late Low Shank, former mayor of Indianapolis, who used to call them "noisy." But it appears impossible. They explain how they could get no material at the library, that they had to clean house, that they had to prevent arrestors from attending a detention room yesterday, that the washer-woman failed to appear, that they didn't have to come and so on, and on, and bow! A life-long friend of Calvin Coolidge asked how many speeches she had made, and with "With these beginning two and ceditions." This might be a successful key for women who speak in public. Several beginnings carefully planned can save the mood and audience.
POPULAR COLLEGE PICTION
Fraternities and sororites, always favorite subjects of condensation, or a help much more than a hindrance to doing homework, do not give half the freedom of a girl's own home, for there she probably comes and goes as she sleeps in her room. You sign "in" and "out" and be back from her at a given time. Fraternity houses are crowded and noisy but hope to live up to "College Humor."

The alumni love to talk of the "good old days" and paint them in colors as glowing as possible, and they know it all. When the present students have
At any time during the morning a seat in the library is hard to find. Class recitations usually show that most students have studied at least to a degree the night before. Scholarship is respected and the person takes no interest in any of the books so rare as to be almost unknown.
But college, as the students themselves know it, is far, tar different. The majority of those who attend college or are enrolled in the popular sense of the word. Not even do the so-called "college styles" prevail.
Twenty years ago it could be said that Chile had a natural monopoly of the world supply of nitriles but that monopoly has been broken in two ways: by the use of coal through the preservation of its by-products, and by the utilization of the nitrogen of the air through fixation. An imperial providence has enveloped every nation with a supply of nitriles in its area. Whether this free nitrogen is utilized or not in any particular country depends not upon natural resources but on the ability of its people. They power like water power and even fewer directly distributed among the nations.
The effect of the synthetic regime in short circuiting natural processes and multiplying the resources of raw materials has broadened the impact competition. The chemist has upset the geography that we learned in school. For when we were cheated about a new plant, it was distributed among various countries by what was assumed to be the immutable law of nature. To impress upon our readers a rubbish tree in Brazil or a rubber tree in China, she showed the sources of the substances that were consumed in one daily life. A rubber tree in Brazil or a rubber tree in China plant in Caroling; a campher shrub in Japan; and a silk worm in China. The chemist has enthusiastically approved this synthetic regime under United States may ship india to India. If the motion picture magnetic fists that Japan is changing into too much for the chemistry department in Germany where it is made from American turpentine. The silk worm of Japan and the cotton plant of Carolina are hard pushed against composition of the steep path of Sweden.

Ch-mist Is King
The new synthetic kingdom of which the chemist is king and founder already overlaps and may ultimately contain a large number of substances of Nature. In the present transition state while the new regime is being established the intr attempt to classify products according to the old regime in causing an increase in the sample of butter from a cow of a cowsome? Does a given sample of sugar come from beet or case? Does a given sample of alcohol come from grain or case? Does a given sample of acetic acid come from saler or munk? Does a given sample of rubber come from forest or plantation? Does a given sample of malt come from grain or case? Does a given sample of turkey meat matter for, perchance the butter and sugar, the alcohol and the vinegar, and the rubber and the perfumes may have come from coal.
be graduated, they will go and do likewise. Those night pop meetings, declared for lack of men, with viewed crowds, were the old Indian war dances; the bonfires will light the whole north side and the yells will seek the stalls themselves. The celebrations on the Creeks were the celebration and, in mercy, the Indians will be taken by storm. The dances would never recognize themselves as they will be pictured then. It was a time to make room for romance.

Butler Collegian
College then never can be seen truly from the outlands, for the persons who are within, or who have been there before, the preachers, the editorial writers, the woman's clubs and the teachers' conventions may view with alarm "flaming youth" but we who are the objects of those images know nothing more than an amused smile.

"Nothing is good enough but the best."
Anyhow, its nobody's business if the chemist has done his business well enough so the product is correct. After a compound has come under the domain of the chemist, it has reached the kingdom of its natural origin.

THE "BROWSING ROOM"
Have you ever read Card Sondberg's "Chicago Formosus" or the fans' book "The Greatest Painters" by Winter, or the Eine Fuchs's "History of Art"? Probably, yet; I cite these as only a few examples of the vast amount of material available to K. U. students in the "brassing" rooms hosted on the second floor of the cottage wing of Wart-
"This 'browsing' room is reserved for those who wish to read simply for pleasure. Others who wish to study are requested to do so in the reading room provided for that purpose. We encourage you to discuss the underlying value of the 'browsing' room is unless, for are we all not much happier when we are reading something that greatly interests us, than when we are outside readings whose more intense has been carefully extracted?
On a late November afternoon, the room looks most inviting: Overstuffed armchairs, manhattan windows, and an attractive window seat with staircase at the back, one sitting at first catch the eye. An effective color scheme of tan is used.—the walls are done in buff, while the disperies are of rich brown but welcoming hue. The floor is the floor. The lighting effect is made dark by two wrought iron lamps, whose monarch shades are the interwork of Miss Daisyne Fulks, whose shades are the class of 1521 in the department of design, who in at present a design specialist in a large department store in the east. A colorful paint palette adds warmth to wall, while an unusual tapestry of Indian cenotachy hangs on the other. The latter which was kept from the Tinter art collection, is interesting because of the busy spots, designed by the artist, with philosophy, to ward off evil spirits.
The idea of providing a "growing" team, although not original with this university, is part of the maintenance is provided in the regular library fund, while in most of the eastern college systems, the wealthy donors. Many of the larger universities of the country provide teams for graduate students there at Harvard and Minnesota.

MR ROOSEVELT'S TASK
The statement of Franklin D. Roosevelt that the survey he is conducting of the present Democratic political implications and is dissatisfied from any other possible presidential candidates will be accepted as entirely sincere, but will not be given him an influential position in the council of his party, and while the references of many Democratic leaders to their hopes for 1982 must be ignored, the fact is too shrewd a politician not to know that their predictions are premature. The first task of the Democrats must be to find out why the need for massimoine work being especially evident in the South. There are several phases to the problem. First, there are the Southern Droughts and party allegiance. Then the resent-

In their opinion, the recent Democratic presidential candidate departed widely from the traditional agricultural industry growth of the New South has made it necessary for the Democratic party to take a more definite and advanced position on the protective tariff. Its gesture of 1928 is a clear sign.
Philadelphia Publis Ledger
Of interest to the entire world is the announcement of the California Institute of Technology that the institute will be able to furnish it with an appropriation sufficient to pay the cost of a companion laboratory. The latter to be equipped with a 200-inch reflecting telescope and various auxiliary instruments of its own.
The largest telescope in the world today is the 100-inch Hooker telescope on Mount Wilson. The new telescope will have a magnifying power at least five times as great. The Hooker telescope has within its photographic range 286-million images 292-billch telescope, in the words of the announcement of the institute "should reveal hundreds of millions of stars and hundreds of thousands of galaxies that should make possible the study of remote island universes beyond the Milky Way and the solution of many problems in astronomy and chemistry now bode science.
To mention such possibilities is to arouse new and amazement in the human world. Astronomy has proved fatal to many crude and primitive ideas of the universe, of space, time and energy. It has also helped earth and its restless inhabitants. The
more we know about the universe,
the more marvelous and mysterious,
the more intricate and incomprehensible it becomes.
