Doctor Cankin, who has worked in women's organization for many years, has recently spent sometimes abroad observing and studying women's organization in Germany, Switzerland, and Spain. In Germany she met the women most important in German life since the War.
"German women who now have the vote consider themselves the Daughters of the Revolution, for the revolution put into power a party who believed in women's suffrage," Doctor Caukin explained.
In Switzerland Miss Caddin learned that the women do not vote. While in that country she attended the Swiss National Exhibition of Women's Activities and noted its success, she also visited some schools where homes to observe the conditions there. "The European household is more of an economic unit than the Ameri-
"The European household is more of an economic unit than the American." Doctor Cankin said.
Labor-saving devices are uncommon in European homes, but most women especially Germany are able to manage them. They carry on professions. Opportunities in Europe, however, are limited now, according to Miss Cuckin. The entrance of women into the business is a great problem for the new and causes a great problem.

Football and Harrier Squads Entertained at First Y. M. Supper
W. C. Timons, St. Louis, Coach
Bill Hargiss, Speak; About
150 Attend

Bill Hariss, head football coach, and W. C. Timmons, pastor of the First Congregational church of 81 Louis, addressed the crowd at the Hanes Center on Tuesday. Hanes of the football team, and "Peez" Frazer, captain of the cross-country squad were introduced to the men, and gave short speeches. While the men were still diving they were entertained by the "blues" singing of Evelyn Watkins, sp. fa., and by four members of the tumbling team; W. G. Higginsbobham, sp. ed.; and by four members of the tumbling team; L. C. Loewy, prerow, c29.
Coach Harges, choosing the theme of his speech from the three words "spirit, mind, lead" found on the ambicule triangle of the Y.M.C.A., said that he believed football, contrary to the popular conception, made its participants finer in spirit and mind. Mr. Harges could not imitate a player's skill, but some sort, and believed that it would show up in time of stress. "Mars' extremity is God's opportunity," he said.
W. C. Timmons, who is a graduate of Southwestern schools along a line similar to that of Harges, although he stressed all-round development. He believed that the highest good would come from absolute sincerity.
Development of our latent abilities, he declared, would make one "clever akin to the infinite God, in his wisdom" (Friedrich Nietzsche). Although he was of the opinion that moral ideas are apt to be forgotten in the stress of winning a game he believed that the greatest good from success is the sense of sportmanship and ideals.
The men were made acquainted with their dinner partners through the sliding of songs that were accompanied by Mrs. Sam Carter.
Smith Club Opens Booth
New Quarters for Organization in Central Ad. Building

Plans for Songfest
Are Complete; Many
Surprises Expected
The first all-University songfest will be held next Thursday evening at the Auditorium at 7:15. This is the first songfest ever arranged for the students to learn the top songs of Kansas. The arrangements have been made by members of Ku Kn and Jay Janes in cooperation with Paul Parker. Parker, Mae'c based here is on hand to furnish the music and Mac is expected to lead the songs, according to Paul Parker.
Use of Spelling Cards in Chec Section Is New Feature for This Year
To make the matter of learning the songs easier, words for the various songs have been printed and will be distributed before the affair—probably after the students have been seated.
The Men's Glee Club will assist at the Auditorium by singing the songs thus giving the new students an opportunity to learn the tunes as well to refresh the memory of the upperclassmen.
George "Dump!" Bowles, the composer of "I am A Jayhawk," will have a new Kauai song "Hurry Up, Kauai" which he has just written. Kauai will be assisted in introducing it by "Like" Keeryn and his orchestra.
Another feature of the coaches will be the explanation of the new idea of spelling out words by means of cards in the cheering section all the football games. This plan will be out into practice in the near future but it must be explained to players and coaches that perfect coordination is essential for the perfection of this idea, according to Parker, who proposed the scheme.
The system of the cheering section's spelling out letters at the games is not a new idea as it is in practice at Nebraska, Southern California, and many of the larger universities of the country.
"Bring dates if you want to as it is. O, K, but be sure that you and every jaywalker is on hand next Thursday to learn the songs, give the yells and do your hit towards helping beat Anes." Parker concluded.
"It is not difficult to learn what and how to do your bit and it will妙而细好 to see Kansas University in the section," Parker said.

Nebraska Senator Indorses Al Smith Without Reserve
Norris Scores Hoover for Unprogressive Stand on Farm, Water Justice
Portland *Ore.* Oct. 24, (UP)—Senator George Norrie of Nebraska Republican, unqualifiedly indorsed the candidacy of Governor Alfred E. Kennedy in presidential nomination, in an interview with the United Press here today.
"How any person who is progressive can support However, is beyond me." Narrie told the United Press.
"On both the farm problem and the water power issues he has demonstrated that he is anything but progressive. In his New York address he termed advocates of government water power development, Socialists."
Senator Norris promised to explain his views in detail over a radio book-up from Omaha Saturday.
New York, Oct. 24. (UP)—Democratic strategy achieved today one of its most vital campaign objectives—definite endorsement of Governor Alfred E. Smith by Senator George Norris, of Nebraska.
Nerria's announcement is calculated by party chiefs to appeal to perhaps 5,000,000 voters, mostly in West states of political importance.
Whether Norris has strength to influence so many voters so powerfully is of course, open to debate. But the Democrats, including Sullivan, had such healthy respect for him that they bid all aloof for his backing.

This, and Wattkin drive to be two very nice places for working out without University licenses, Dean Dyer believes.

Hallowe'en Stunts on Mt. Oread Last October Seem Mild: Expect Worse and Wilder Time This Year
If Holloway is as quiet as it was last year, the Lawrence police department will have little to do. Of course, there were about the usual number of calls from irate property owners reporting furniture dragged into the street and belongings which had mysteriously removed themselves to stranges and inaccessible places. But there was only one time during the night that the department was called out, and that time they found that an antique fireplace in front of Deeley Museum was a farse alarm. No arrests—only a few calls—it was a blissful sight for the Lawrence Police.
The Kappa Alpha Theta's found out what happens to midget children who go out on Halloween evening, and who don't do what the activities tell them. They knew the feel of nice powdery flour applied to a damp and dripping countenance until it sticks; they knew the exquisite sensation that comes from being puffed until it bursts. Their property was saved, and peace and tranquility reigned supreme. Such a Halloween! Let us have
Police might have been called again, though the Alpha Delta Pi's had known that their parch furniture would be broken out until the next morning that it was gone, that it had "folded its tent like the Arms and as silently went."
But the Theta's didn't have a nice long ladder bid across their front porch so that they could get out at right. The Delta Zeta's did. Their ladder was built with smashed eggs, and screen rwned by the presence of the ladder, which they claim not to have used all year. Maybe it was too short, and we hope the prokranker can give them a new face near the rear part of this month.
Corbin hall somehow escaped district externally, but the occupants were slightly bothered because of their own equipment—crutchers crutches and strong straps to soap flakes and clothes hangers. There was a conspiracy of silence among the laws. They didn't know "but anything happened to their steps" until the authorities made the story that the engineers had brought an engineering wagon and put it up behind the pillars of Green hall; and thought, if the engineers did such a stunt, it was a remarkably well-done act, and not deserving of legal notice.
An all-night vigil, by the Pi Kappa Alpha freshmen, was rewarded when untreated this year.
