LUNCH AT THE KANSAN DESK
Entered as second-class mail matter September 7, 1815, at the post office at Lawrence Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1819.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1928
According to the New York Times, Wall Street does not go out to lunch anymore; lunch comes to Wall Street. Of course, the street is still packed at the noon hour with thirteen of people hurrying to their midday refreshment, whether it be a sandwich or a four course luncheon. But also in the buildings, many stories above the street, restaurants are being served. Restaurants are bringing this service and convenience to the stock exchange. At desks covered with snow white cloths, executives and office forces are enjoying their noonday meal while they keep on with their work or rest for a few moments. Time and energy are thus conserved.
Is there an idea in this that might be of use to the Kansas staff? When a copywriter is putting in his noon hour on the desk, he is usually much annoyed. He is hungry and his temper suffers accordingly; and the Kansas sufferers because of the headlines he writes. Moreover, the news editor is usually working his hardest just about this time. And, as he holds office for a mouth, he is deprived of his luncheon for that period. If an arrangement could be made where luncheons could be brought in every day from the cafeteria or some other nearby restaurant, those working during that hour would be extremely grateful.
FEMININE HEALTH
Men have always been healthier, on the average, than women, and the results of the physical examinations taken at the University this year shows that the condition has not changed. Sixty-five per cent of the men and 46 per cent of the women were graded A. Many of the women were graded C because of underweight. Nevertheless, the health of women is improving.
Agnes Wayman, head of the physical education department in Bernard college says girls are beginning to master the game of better health and are interested in overcoming any physical defects they may have. The head of the New York medical society in a recent report showed that the health of women in department stores was on a par with that of men. The fact that so many women are taking part in golf and tennis is an indication that they are interested in health.
Several things contribute to the condition which reveals in physical examinations that men are the healthier. Probably the outstanding reason is that men are usually out-of-door doors more, do heavier and harder physical work, which keeps their muscles and nerves in better shape and enables them to keep active. Athletics has a wider appeal to men for from the time boys are able to throw a bane ball they are engaged in some form of sport. Athletics for women is developing rapidly, but there are still many mothers who would not wish to see their daughters in a ball game or hockey contest.
Dancing, required gymnastism, popularized sports and the general demand that women take part in more activities are factors contributing to the present physical status of women.
Women have just as much if not more of a sight to health than men and it should be with some degree of pride that they witness the present advance of feminine health.
TO WHAT END?
The attempted trans-Atlantic flight of Lieutenant Commander McDonald presents a tragic contrast with the triumph of the Graf Zeppelin. The former rends like an epic of adventure; the latter is an epic of material progress.
The world gasped at the take-off of the unknown flies who temped two thousand miles of water with a辛亥 fuel supply. And when the wires carried stories of the other attempts that had failed, the people of two hemispheres' shock their heads in regret, but not in surprise.
For the others who have dropped into the oblivion of the Atlantic we have said that thieves was a sacrifice to progress; that from the lessons of such attempts would come the perfection of ocean flying. But in the face of the Gruf-Zeppelin's superb demonstration, we cannot say that McDonald could have pointed the way to an advancedment, no matter how successful his flight might have been. Rather he seems to have heard the challenge of the waves and to have answered it with a sportsman's instinct. Not for him the massive safety of the giant dirigible, nor even the sauceruane used by his famed predecessor, Lindbergh. He chose the battle on the sportman's terms with the odds, if any, against him. In the "sports car of the air" he took a sportsman's chance—and test!
EVE AND THE GRAPE
In France there are half a dozen girl, daughters of the grape-growers in the Château Yquem district, who will have as part of their dovery a few bottles of the world's choicest wine. A few hundred bottles of this particular Bordure vintage will easily be worth 10,000 francs; a rather attractive wedding gift! And after all, what difference does it make whether the dovery some in a caren cuckoo, as of old, or in labeled and sealed bottles?
We Americans, with our self inflated sense of propriety, might easily smile at the French for this particular form of dowry. The fact is that the six French girls in this district have us to thank for the size of their dot. It is the demand of the wealthy wine-drinking American which makes this Bordeaux, used only French, so precious. They frequently as an after-dinner liquor by the double price in order to get the wine to their cellars at a specified time. We wonder if these French wine makers do not smile a little as they pocket their profits, so immediately increased by our spendturf Americans.
THE CLIMAX APPROACHES
The campaign is on the upward curve and is rapidly approaching the peak. Party forces are embarking upon their final programs. Every kind of strategy will be attempted in the time remaining before election. A graphic illustration of this interest may be obtained by an examination of the daily newspaper. For example, on the front page of a wellbalanced metropolitan paper there were 36 headlined articles, 14 of them were directly concerned with current politics and only two stories with foreign news. These two were relatively brief.
In a few more days the campaign will be over, the election results will be known, and probably the country will not meet disaster no matter which candidate is successful. On the surface it will appear that the political machines will throttle down until 1932.
With this cool weather K. U. styles vill change to boots, riding breeches,ather coats, lumber jackets andoonskins cap for a while. Probably one of the reasons so many people consider Kansas on the frontier.
The only advantage we can really see to Homecoming is that a lot of folks get to drive the family car around and show it off while the rest of us get homesick.
First Phonograph Believed Fake When Exhibited at Paris in 1878
The first Edison photograph exhibited in Paris was denounced as fake when it was exhibited before the French Academy of Sciences, March 11, 1878, by the physicist, du Monceau. As the learned assembly board from the panteleboard horn the words which had been spoken into the mouthpiece by Edison's representative, Purasak, "the photogram is highly honored by being presented to the Academy of Sciences," one of the academicists, Montéau Bouillard, sprang up and shouted in a voice clashing with righteous wrath at the imposition, "You run away! Do you think you can find us."
Purbeh the American accent of the phonograph salesman may have given some excuse for this incredulity but even after Count Di Moncel had taken over the job, he repeated in his own pure accents: "We thank Mr. Edison for having sent us his photograph," the skeptical scientist was not convinced. Only one other person believed himself given the apparatus a thorough testing, was M. Bouillard convinced that this was not a case of ventriloquism. But he added, "No one could have believed that a scrap of more than a quarter inch of the noble tones of the human voice."
The photograph is one of the few inventions that have no history behind it. Most inventions nowadays are the culmination of a long process of previous experimentation and take years to develop and contribute. Often the courts take years to determine who has furnished the final factor essential to success.

Today's Best Editorial
Knowledge of psychology in its newest manifestations gives its possessor some pretty new words and a diversing subject of conversation, but it is not so practicable as a few of the others. He was an artist well was unmistakably demonstrated recently by a young Japanese embroied in a book store. He was set the task of collecting an account which the credit department had tried for in vain. A few days later a check came from the firm. The client firm was estimated and incurred how he had managed it. The Japanese had written the following letter:
"Inside Stuff"
With reference to your long-overdue account, we have received no response in spite of previous applications. Unless we receive a response, we shall be made up the morning steps we shall take will simply nuzzle you.
"Incida Staff"
Yours faithfully, &c
Here is something better than the psychology of salesmanship and collections, with all its jars of approach, resistance and the uses of humor. The young Japanese knew that no concrete threat can be so terrifying as a vague menace. The regular credit department had doubtless tried all the old familiar promises to persuade them, but his faintness was frightened by the uncertainty of his fate at the hand of the new collector—New York Times.
Seekers after student directories, and the office force at the registrar's office, were caused much annoyance Monday and Tuesday because of an unannounced staff visit that the directories would be ready for distribution Monday morning.

There has been one so litigation about most of Edison's inventions, but when he sent his application to the Patent Office, December 24, 1877, the examiner reported "new references" to anything of the sort having been issued. He also issued with unusual promptness, February 19, 1878. There is no written record that any man in the history of the world ever had heard his own voice reproduced mechanically prior to the page in Edison's notebook, of which he described in the same photograph and noted in his next壁印 hand, "Just
In this case Mr. Foster knew no more of the need for killing the story than did the Kansan stuff. It was simply one of the unfortunate errors that "just happen." In fact, the editor of the directory had taken every fall to prevent premature announcement of the finishing of the directory.

Education is supposed to be a tool (with which to work—but very few of our so-called educated young people understand this fact). They think education is an ornament — that it has no relation to the serious facts of life.
