FLYING TO THE FORE
Having successfully spanned the westward route over the Atlantic, the great German Graf Zeppelin is now on its way in an attempt to complete a two-way trans-Antithec flight. If this circuit is made, it will be the second time in history that any aircraft has traversed the Atlantic both ways. Three years ago the British R-34 made the crossing from England and back again. If the present experiment terminates without mishap, it will have done a great deal to strengthen the belief of the world in aeronautics.
Such early kazakhous trips are necessary to standardize commerce by air. The Graf Zeppelin will be succeeded by better ships, better able to withstand the elements, and more easily controlled. Perhaps it will be necessary to construct floating anchors at intervals, but with such early success in trans-occasional navigation, we can expect passenger service across the Atlantic to come very soon.
American citizens will go to the polls next Tuesday to vote for electors to represent them in choosing the president of the United States. In 1792 when George Washington was made president the electoral method was used because the Constitutional Convention believed that electors were more capable of choosing a president than the people were. That was before the highly organized political parties chose their candidates and presented them to the public. In these days the newspaper and the radio did not carry the qualifications of candidates directly to the voter, Trains, automobiles, and airplanes did not make it possible then for a nominee to tour the country. Yet on Nov. 6 when the presidential ballot is marked it will be the electors who are chosen.
ELECTION RITUAL
These electors will meet in the following January and elect the president, but practically the successful candidate is known not later than noon of the day following the election. When Rutherford B. Hayes was elected president in 1876 by a majority of one in the electoral college, Samuel J. Tilden, his opponent, had a popular plurality of over 200,000. In these days when parties are seemingly bringing up any possible question in national affairs why it is not a change in the presidential election advocated so that form and custom may agree?
THE WOMEN REGISTER
Whether or not women would take part in the operations of government ceased to be a question for discussion when the nineteenth amendment was passed. Now, the question is, how much of a part will they take? The women voted at first just because they could. Then when the novelty wore off their interest lagged and it seemed to be the old case of the dog that chased the train and did not know what to do with it after he caught it.
This year, if the registration totals of the city of Lawrence are to be taken as a criterion, there has been a change. When the books closed Oct. 26, it was found that 319 more
zomen than men were registered fo he presidential election.
Two causes are being given by political observers as the reason for this. One is the case with which women can be reacted to the campaign through the radio. With the principal speakers for both parties going "on the air," and receiving sets in the majority of homes, the women have been kept in close contact with the political developments. Another reason given is the prohibition question in which women always have taken an interest. Now they want to vote. And look how they have registered.
SERUM TREATMENT
Serum treatment, if available in the early stages of the disease, provides a definite cure for infantile paralysis, according to Dr. Wardner D. Ayer of Syracuse College of Medicine, at a recent assembly of the Interstate Postgraduate Medical Association of America in Atlanta. Of 129 patients attended by Doctor Ayer, 96 recovered, 25 developed paralysis and eight died.
The serum proven most beneficial if it can be applied within the first 24 hours of the illness but is priceless unless after the paralytic stage has been reached. Of the eight who died despite the treatment three received the serum too late, and three did not receive enough, leaving only two cases as failures.
Scientists and mothers will rejoice over the successful experiment curried on by Doctor Ayer, because infantile paralysis has long been a scourge to children and even to adults. It would be advisable if the state and even the nation co-operated with physicians in having an emergency supply always at hand ready to be used wherever needed. Doctors and nurses should have to educate people to the value of the serum by giving lectures on the subject and passing out pamphlets concerning it. Serum should be available to all classes of people, not only to those able to pay for it but also to those unable to pay, since it is usually in the more congested living quarters that epidemics spread most rapidly. Serum treatment should be encouraged all over the world since its proper use would aid in eliminating one of the most blighting diseases known to man.

Today's Best Editorial
ROMANCE
Of course this phenomenon at the turn of the century might be exerted on by a book or by a traced obscurely to the Spanish War, or to a reaction against Hamza and the trusts, or to the new magazines. But the best explanation is the history of the novel sort never dies. From G. P. R. James right down to the late Stanley Weyman the line can be traced without a break. Human appetite for realism has become less important to time. The appetite for broadwords, solitary horsemen, misty-eyed heroes, battles and sudden exile, has taken over. Anthony Hope played up to it and the American writers simply caught the great new reading public that the novel forms formula changes but the general form lives forever—New York World.
How is one to explain "Gunstark," which the late George Barr McCutechron published in 1901, and the book with it? The period seemed dedicated to realism. Howell's writing unilinching analyses of every day prosecife life; Hamlin Garland, who was a prisoner, was used a grimmer笔 in drawing the Western prairies; the still more uncompromising Stephen Crane and Frank Nott are just humble men who were in the literary "movement" scouted at the "Ren-Hur" type of stucco romance, yet just at this moment there was a mythical kingdom, armored knights and historic warriors; "Janie Mercer" and irresponsible fiction, bright with mythical kingdoms, armored knights and historic warriors; "Janie Mercer" and irresponsible fiction, bright with mythical kingdoms, armored knights and historic warriors; "Janie Mercer" and irresponsible fiction, bright with mythical kingdoms, armored knights and historic warriors; "Janie Mercer" and irresponsible fiction, bright with mythical kingdoms, armored knights and historic warriors; "Janie Mercer" and irresponsible fiction, bright with mythical kingdoms, armored knights and historic warriors; "Janie Mercer" and irresponsible fiction, bright with mythical kingdoms, armored knights and historic warriors; "Janie Mercer" and irresponsible fiction, bright with mythical kingdoms, armored knights and historic warriors; "Janie Mercer" and irresponsible fiction, bright with mythical kingdon

Most Inaccessible Weather Station in Alaska to Send Out Radio Reports
Mrs. Beverley A. Morgan, wife of the Army Signal Corps radio operator at the trading post, has recently been appointed observer at Point Barrow. She is one of the six white inhabitants of the town. Arrangements have been made for her to be stationed at this station twice daily by other Bureau headquarters in the United States.
Washington, Oct. 31—Radio weather reports of observations taken by a young woman at the coldest and most inaccessible weather station in United States territory at Point Barrow, Alaska, will enable warnings of cold winds that may affect people on the ground. A cut out this latter several days over than has previously been possible.

Voter's Query
--outside of class will not be demanded. But comparatively the benefits of course will be greater because the course will be conferred upon the students who will catch class during that time.
"As an absence voter is it possible to vote at any present location? Are there questions to the special board at the court house if you attempt to vote the absentee ballot?"
"Inside Stuff"
An advertiser recently offered thie
Kiannan a rather large advertisement
on condition that a news story on the
subject run the same day. When the
condition was refused, he asked if
either papers did not do things that
would violate the paper's piper
day, but that the financially best
opponents did not.
The reason is this. A paper filled with puffs is soon detected and distributed by readers. At best it is interesting. Render interest, and structure to a given audience, makes a good advertising medium.
Campus Opinion
--outside of class will not be demanded. But comparatively the benefits of course will be greater because the course will be conferred upon the students who will catch class during that time.
STUDENT DANCES
We danced with each other, my wife and I, for an hour and a half the night and then went home. The rest of them were students and we very recently moved in to the college all very friendly to us and seemed glad to have us as their guests. But not one from senior to freshman, but two from junior to two and to whom I suggested an exchange agreed readily enough but forget to see us a full hour afterwards. So we went at a quarter of eleven and I have sworn off for a
My wife is an excellent dancer and I am no worse than many of the dancers in our group, but not our dancing and it was not unfriendless. Students, generally, just don't think of dancing with forty years old right with me. Perhaps it is as should be. But I'm through pretending that I being at dance classes is
I've no objection to dancing an hour and a baffle with my wife. I have no objection to dancing should do with anyone else. But why go out for an entire evening when a victoria on a better floor than most dance halles at home on a police notice?
So it's back to the woods and the University Club and the other old folks for me, and I hope the young folks of today will have a chance. I had at mime many long years ago. If they do they'll do well — The Old Grunch.
Our Contemporaries
When the process of acquiring a college education becomes nothing but a collection of required courses, something is the matter. This three-courses-per-quarter system may indeed be the most interesting—and illuminating—to take note of what the individual student does with the extra hour in the classroom.
If the vacant period comes at eight-thirty, there is no doubt as to how it is spent—brisk fall mornings and nights. The student's vacation is seldom declined. If, however, a nine-thirty, eleven or twelve-o'clock class is not required upon the visitation, the student's time is left open for the student to utilize his best advantage. By referring to the printed schedule of classes, the student can readily find certain courses which he must most probably like very much to take but for which he will need an extra hour to include in his work taken for credit. Hereupon the extra hour immediately finds its use; it may be employed in an event where the student will not be compulsory; work
SITTING IN

The recent opening of daily communication with this station makes forecasting data on weather conditions more useful for the first time. Most of the cold waves and other atmospheric disturbances affecting the northwestern states originate in that region of the Arctic. Observations previously taken by the United States reaching the forecaster's office months after they were made and were valuable only as records. The Point Barrow is over four hundred fifty miles of the oceans, sending in winters of radio reports.
Charles L. Mitchell, chief foreseer of the Weather Bureau, places great stress on the value of this new data.
New Data Valuable
"This daily contact with the most northern settlement on United States territory will give us the origin, force, extent, duration and intensity of each disturbance near the point where we predict its probable effect on crops, shipping and household arrangements many days before it will arrive." Mr.
It is thought that the observations (from Point Barrow will have a vital effect on making the weekly weather forecast for the various sections of he United States more complete, and the results fitted in eight or six weeks after the report is issued. This is not always possible now.
Mrs. Morgan and her husband will live in the most primitive surroundings with only a few score people in their lives, and communicate with the outside world, with the exception of their radio, will be a stainer once and sometimes the last to get powerful teckbreaker is unable to penetrate to the post for months after her scheduled arrival. Shortage of food or water makes hardship at the station, necessitating rationing of food. The temperature averages 19 degrees below zero during the coldest winter months and then reaches 30 degrees below zero.
Temperature Low
Despite these hardships Mrs. Morgan has pledged herself to make the routine observations twice a day regardless of weather, storms, sickness or other conditions. Many of the instruments require considerable mechanical attention and Mrs. Morgan has worked in addition to her work as observer.
The Inking of the Point Barrow station into the twice daily observation scheme completes the chain of leven Alaskaan stations distributed at trenches set up by radio, the terrific each sending by radio or wire be required data.
"Sitting in" most aurally has its advantages and is well worth a trial. It also makes the job easier, but it really astonishes how much can be picked up by the utilization of the camera.

A course of instruction for the proper handling of mops, pails and dusters has been proposed for the University of Cincinnati. The goal for students would be a job as school nurse. Teachers must be Ganders, Professor of Education approves the plan. He believes that no one except the Principal of a school

A college-trained junior would undoubtedly require a new title. There is danger that such an innovation might cause dissension in the ranks, junior, the new school next to university workers and the other — West Pointers against the militia, so to speak.

A woman apoda a obranchon — Hugh Bently.
A new Lawrence preacher made a bad break in his last Sunday's sermon. In describing the inability of a certain girl to fit into the college crowd, she remarked the fact that her friends were "unable to get her into a fraternity."
Some of the common expressions that the frosh are asking about:
What is this place "exile" where so many of the great Greeks went in?
Where is this place submission that the upperclassmen are going to beat into?
Where is the state of intoxication and this widely published city on box car "Cana-city?"
Painfully.
My dear Mr. Bently;
The letter that Sugar wrote you the other day was certainly mild—certifiably too mild. She should have asked you to sweetech to refrain from speaking so sarcastically of women, Just who are you to judge us, anyway? She called you Hugh, too. Why are you there? You alone there will be a lot of things I'll call you and they won't be "Hugh". Either. Now, I am going to write some wise crayons about you man some crabs and I DARE YOU TO PRINT THEM.

Well, Maude, (of course that's not your real name or I wouldn't talk like this) in answer to your outburst, said, "I don't care how much supplies of cats suddenly died of colic there would still be one left.
