Once a year a ship brings food, clothing, new instruments, and books to the men living there. No doubt such a visit is a holiday to them; after the ship is gone they resume their old life. They make their daily observations, and through some idea of the condition of the sen can be obtained. Of course they can read and smoke, and even explores a little, but few of us realize what a lonely existence must be. Telephone Business Office K. U, 56 News Room K.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1928 AN UNCEASING QUEST Two doctors from the University of Wisconsin have demonstrated a temporarily effective treatment for insanity before 100 of their colleagues of the Central Neuropsychiatric Association. After inhaling gas as prescribed, two hopelessly insane patients became rational for several minutes. Twelve years of research were necessary to accomplish even this imperfect result. We need not despair of a civilization which produces men who are willing to labor for years to establish the more possibility of a cure for sufferers. Now that their work has indicated a chance for success, the end will not seem so fatiguing. Praise should go to them for the patience and perseverance of twelve years, with this monger result as the sole accomplishment. Further developments may be expected, but we must give all honor to the pioneers in this field. MRS HOOVER The mistress-elect of the White House has a personality and interests that appeal to all Americans, young and old. Her acquaintance with the rest of the world in her travels will enable her to meet foreign visitors with a knowledge of their countries that will please soujourners away from home. Mrs. Hoover is vitally interested in the youth of the country. She feels that the greatest factor in the lives of future citizens in found in the teaching force in the schools. She has been one of the major promoters in the Girl Scout movement, and has retained close contact with it, Charlotte Kellug, a biographer of Mrs. Hoover, remarked, "How near she keeps to her girls!" I never know how many are tucked away in her house, but I always know there are some." If Mrs. Hoover were to choose a career for herself, she would take architecture. She delights in designing and building homes. Her own home is built so that every room opens to a sunny terrace. She has built houses for young faculty families of Leeland Stanford University which is both her own alma mater and Mr. Hoover's. This is the Mrs. Hoover who is to be the next mistress of the White House. With her varied interests she is likely to find favor with all classes of people and make America proud of its "First Lady." PROTECTORS OF LIFE Forty-three hundred miles below the equator is an island which is probably one of the longest inhabited spots on the earth. This is known as Laurie Island and is the home of twelve men who live there for a year at a time without seeing other human beings. Their particular work is to make observations for the weather bureau of the Argentine government and furnish daily reports. This work is made necessary due to the wild and stormy condition of the sea near Cape Horn and the Straits of Magellan. Many human lives are probably saved every year through the efforts of these twelve men. They never see summer as it is unknown that far south, the only difference in seasons being shown by the length of the days and nights. The island itself is the property of AN ACHIEVEMENT AWARD To Miss Martha Berry, founder of the Berry schools at Mount Berry, Ga, for poor mountain boys and girls of the South, recently was awarded the five thousand dollar achievement prize given annually by the Pictorial Review. The award is made each year to some American woman who in the opinion of the judges, has made the most outstanding contribution to American life, in letters, art, science, philanthropy or social welfare during the preceding year. The success of the school Miss Berry founded some twenty-seven years ago has been remarkable. Started in a little log cabin on the Berry estate, the school has grown until it now owns a tract of ten thousand acres, has buildings which house one thousand students, and an alumni list of more than seven thousand. Many of its graduates are prominent in academic or agricultural work. The world has always honored men and women who were artists, but comparatively little has been done for the few persons who have realized the potentialities of the youth who do not have the ordinary opportunities for advancement. Miss Berry may not be able to paint or carve innate things but her success with living personalities is that of a genius. The world needs more of her kind, who not only sympathize but who addlime but who achieve It would be tough to be a sporting gentleman in Mussolini's Italy. There they have no American college football games, and they do not even have presidential elections to be on. We would like to know how these political prophets who are saying, "I told you so," have the 1932 election dored out. A man reached through the window of the ticket office of a Kansas City theater, growled, "I'm going to eat," grabbed $90 in bills and disappeared. Probably he was headed for a New York night club to get a sandwich. Two Lawrence boys reported seeing a deer with antlers near here. It must be a brave deer to come so near the habitat of these wild college prooie. Today's Best Editorial THAT ONE-SIDED ARMS ACCORD There is no warrior for senatorial or gloomy comments in London and the United States. The Anglo-French naval compromise, so called. The Washington notes, though firm, digressed and unequivocal about the war against the authors of the accord. Neither do they stand as a bar to the resumption of negotiations looking to general elections and the agreements limiting armaments. The United States, as the Kellogg notes make clear, seeks no special advantages in naval armaments. Neither can the United States accommodate justifying special treatment in the case of France, or Italy, or other powers. And it is ready and well-organized to give its naval limitation, or other well-considered alternatives to its own plans. It cannot accept as a basis of discussion proposals which would place the United States on a feast inferiority. It cannot accept one limited limitations that would add enormously to the actual offensive power of nations possessing numerous and varied weapons. It cannot chantmen capable of speedy conversion into effective men of war. It cannot ignore the danger of recruiting in certain classes of war craft. There is no reason why the spirit of the Washington notes should be presented anywhere. The mistakes of the president, who issued the record should be frankly admitted. The United States, contrary to gratuitous predictions or dubious advice by opponents of reduction of armaments, is prepared to perverse in the preparation and履行 the arguments satisfactory to all the powers...Chicago News. Recent Appalachian Earthquakes Not Considered Especially Dangerous Washington, Nov. 12. The earthquakes of eastern Tennessee and western North and South Carolina, which have been occurring in recent days, belong to a family of quakes that are well known to scientists. Although some of these quakes have been severe and felt over wide areas on the ground, they have not been reported by people as seismic events. Division of Terrestrial Magnetism and Situational Science, "In this respect they differ from the California quakes," he added. "On the Pacific coast the quakes are centered near the surface of the ground, where the damage may be greatest." He said that there is also the case of the quakes of Tennessee and North and South Carolina, they seem to be very deep. They may be very severe at their centers, and so are felt "Inside Stuff" --over a large area, but they are so far from the earth's surface that the damage is enormously slight. Only 22 freshman women had voted at noon of the election day held to select freshman representatives to the W.S.G. council, ( Sukanne Rorillon ) The Kansan was asked to keep that fact out of the paper and refreshed. The story was run, not to spite any one, but because if that little interest in elections is taken by the freshman it is time something was done about it. It is not a newspaper's business to bring about reforms; but it is distinctly a newspaper's business to let the public know where and when reforms are needed. Democracy must be exercised by elected electorate for its functioning. Our Contemporaries ROBBING ONE'S OWN POCKET EAR "Procrastination is the thief of time," according to an English poet, and his words are most heartily enforced by almost all of the faculty members. But the themes, overheard history notes, delayed news stories, and last minute reviews are the bane of the instructor's existence and the stumbling stone in which he learns. No student who hopes to win her instructor's apprehension can do so by consistently delaying her assignments. A late lesson may be overloaded once the teacher knows it has been used, the teacher is irritant and the student has a good season for the delay, but woe unto the offending girl who, for the third time, hands in an overload of work. "I was just bad, I had just so much to do" or "my head hurt me that night and I couldn't write." The wrath of the instructor who has to contend with some 200 preexaminating students every week at the same school is that not the instructor's fault. At the end of the term, when past discrepancies in lessons have faded from the student's mind, she does not remember that they are marked in the instructor's record book, and concludes that she will not use C when "by all rights I deserved a B—I handed in all my work!" Concerns amect the storytelling度of instructors in general fill the halls, but they fail in their purpose. The teacher will be punished and the late end mining upper are all counted against the student.

Another type of earthquake, a boulder, a different type of earthquake also occurs sometimes in western Tennessee, characteristic of the Mississippi Valley. In the mid-19th century, earthquakes are common. One of the first quakes recorded in one of the series was in 1874. It was centered in Manhattan, New York, on a small Rocky Mountain, but was quite local in character. On January 1, 1933, there were one centered in Union County, South Carolina, and two others in the same square miles. Later in the same year, on March 28, and on April 17, Knoxville experienced earthquakes, but neither event happened when they were felt over a rather limited area. As Others See It The most important of the series was on February 21, 1916, and was centered near Nebulae north of Carina Aurora. The series contained 290,000 square miles. Like the others, there was no very severe damage. At Sversonville, Tenn., for instance, some 35,000 square miles of damage. This seems to have been typical of the lamenage. On August 28 of the same year, an earlier, and slighter, one was destroyed in a fire. Probably it was an after-check. As these quakes are ordinarily rather local, they are not always recorded on osmographs, except those nearby, or as distant as the distance. The recent quakes such as that felt Nov. 2, were recorded at Georgetown University, Washington, where there is lauded excellence in earthquake observatories in the world. --- THE "ROCK" CHACK!

FIFTY CENTS A DAY Girls described as "practice housekeeping cooed" at Pennsylvania State College are learning to serve three people in a classroom a week each. Since it is themselves they feed and not strangers, their attitude cannot be disinterested. The professor is very enthusiastic and homes is authority for the announcement of the economic menu.

Part of the explanation must be an elaboration of the old adage that a girl is better off as one. That familiar remark is probably not true, but it must be a fact that a large group can be fed more than four or three, and three or four.
