THE STATE CAMPAIGN
In our deep interests of the national campaign this year and in the two candidates, Hoover and Smith, whose personalities are entering into the scrap so deeply, all of us are tending to forget that right here in Kansas there is also a scrap going on.
Clyde Reed, Republican, and Chaucey Little, Democrat, are the opposing candidates and the issues are just as important—if not more important to us directly—than the issues of the national context. The question of roads, taxes and the oil and gasoline controversies are all points being aimed by the two governorship candidates. This interest should be as deep among University students as among residents of the state too, for Chaucey Little lives only a short distance from here and Clyde Reed has been scheduled to speak on the campus soon. It is also possible that the Democratic nominee may be here.
Presidential years means lean years for candidates so far as interest is concerned, but, as Kansans and especially as members of a state university we should not allow the home affairs to pass unnoticed.
NO EXCUSE NOW
For the past few weeks a number of students have complained about the hot weather, declaring that it is impossible to get down to business and study. They declare that until it cools an oil bit and the snappy morning and cool evening arrive they are unable to concentrate or work as diligently as they can during cool weather.
Nevertheless, the change has arrived, the conditions are just right and now there is no excuse for unprepared lessons because of the heat.
If that is true, a number of Jayhawkers should boost their grades and work this week, for the several heavy rains in the past few days have created an atmosphere which is conducive to study and concentration. With the drop in temperature comes the hope that soon we shall have frost. Hathaway and all that goes with the season.
WHAT IT MEANS
The success of the Graf Zeppelin flight across the Atlantic has a double significance. It marks another step in the progress of air transportation and demonstrates the ability of the Germans in the construction and manipulation of big machinery.
The big step in aviation comes in the fact that with such large aircraft long trips can be made successfully, an argument which has been presented many times by air enthusiasts. Many have held that commercial or passenger service across long routes would not be feasible, but the manner in which the German ship eluded the storm, bucked the head winds and sailed gallantly toward its goal removes many doubts as to feasibility.
The accomplishment of the German dirigible may pave the way for the establishment of a direct line between the United States and Europe, the result of which may be better commercial relations between the two continents.
The other significant point is that
the feast represents the real ability of German mechanics. Careful plans of Commodore Eckener for the building of the Grat, skillful selection of the crew and well laid plans for time and route all resulted in the success which will be talked about for many a day.
German mechanics do not occupy the same position in the world they did before the war, but such accomplishments as this will do more to give them their proper status. In view of these things it can be seen that the result of the dirigible's flight is a contribution by Germany and people to the world as a whole.
ROYAL ROMANCE
Two bachelor kings of the Balkans are competing for the hand of Princess Giovanna, 21-year-old daughter of the Italian monarch. She is tall, with dark hair and clear features and is considered strikingly pretty. Many royal suitors have made overtures for her favors the past few years, but the outstanding ones at present are King Boris of Bulgaria, often described as the "lonestick king in the world", and Ahmed Zogu, newly proclaimed king of the Albanians, King Boris is Greek Orthodox, while the Albanian ruler is Mohamed Manoukri.
Rumors are current in European courts concerning the possible bestiality of the princess. It seems there are other things than love bound up in the future marriage of the third daughter of the king and queen of Italy. These Italian monarchies are seeking guarantees of Italian support through personal union with the royal family. In this light, it is conjectured that Mussolini will have the final say so in the affair.
It is just another case of an European royal marriage being based on political expediency. To American this business is too strange to worry about. Incidentally, the average American girl probably hopes for a more romantic love affair than one arranged according to its political advantages.
It was only a laugh for Lady Drum-
mond Hay when she lost her balance in the Graf-Zempelin on its trip across the ocean and she landed full force against the stomach of a famous artist. She didn't say what effect it had on him though.
A survey has shown that there are 1249 men and 545 women students on the campus who are of voting age. We'll centre to bet that more women than that could vote if they would only 'less up' and admit their real age.
The average grades which showed the averages of women several points higher than those of the men should give the University women a good point for the argument that the weaker sex has as much right in college as men. Of course the question is really, "What will they do with the averages after they leave school?"
A former sword swallower accidently dropped a nine-inch table knife down his threat. As a result he was taken to a hospital where the knife was removed. This was probably just a case of not being i training.
"Jim" is a 5-em dash (who you have worked crossword puzzles know what an "em" is). He is used to separate the parts of a story when they have an emphasis; he is used to separate a local story from a write on one the same subject and so on.
In last Friday's story about the Graf Zeppelin some readers may have wondered why, under a Horta, Acoses, a one place that a report from Horta was unconfirmed, "Jim" was the villian who caused this freak. He was supposed to go between the first parachute and was a late flash which came just before the wire closed, and the rest of the story, which was carried by the United Press without a dateline place from which the story was dated).

FOUNTAINS OF YOUTH
Exclusive Quality Shoe Repairs
Ponce de Leon, centuries ago, went stumbling through the Florida lowlands looking for a fountain whose waters would give everlasting youth. Today a group of our greatest physicians is tackling the same problem. They are in New York instead of Florida, and they don't expect to find any rippling waters with microcultures that have been left behind in some. These doctors are trying to find out if there is not some way by which they can stave off old age.
To date they are a bit discouraged, Dr. Alfred Cohn, of the medical research department of the Racketeer Commission, is men is as old as his injuries and that nothing much can be done about it. It is the nature of the humant body to wear out, and it would take some years to cure him. Force de Leon's fountain to stop it.
We are inclined—of us, at least—to fear old age almost as much as we fear death. The ideal life, for an American, is a strenuous one. We hate to think of the day when we shall have to take things easy. The comfortable chair by the fire is a fine thing, but not for a steady diet.
Paintkilling, we piece together the eludes experience has given us; and now and then we get a hint of the glamour of youth. We see the mood of youth and the dry doubt of middle age. We are high adventurers, seeking the shore that no man has ever quite reached alive. The sun is bright,ombass, Magellan and Drake are our nurses.
Ponce de Leon failed, and modern doctors, as Doctor Cohn says may fail to tell you we needn't be afraid. Agree with the doctor's advice to make one last iaphy into the
What would we do with our lives anyhow? We spend a good share of the time in making a life, of course, and a good deal in recreation; but for most of us, the most important thing is the effort to discover his own place in the world and to get an inkling of the secrets of life and death. These are the great adventures; and age and gift them give their best at atmosphere.
But our stint on the subject is all wrong. The foreside aircurair can be a great place, even for the adventure-some. No man ever does half the things in real life that he does in his mind. Idea relics can be the scene of brave explorations, daring sallies, fear-innured retreats.

RECORD OUTPUT OF AUTO-
MOBILES
August automobile production in the United States of 468,429 cars is reported to be the largest for a single month in the history of the automobile industry, passing the record of October, 1925 of 142,114 units. It is apparent now and 1928 will be exceeded by the year ending December 1929, declining to 1927 has been overcome and the automobile industry is new on the top wave of prosperity. For the first eight months of the present year the out-of cars has been within 350,000 of the full production of 1927, and passenger car output for three eight months has been exceeding that for the twelve months of 1927. Out of the 27 million families in the United States these figures show that in the course of a year 4 to 5 million families are buying new automobiles. The larger the demand the further "saturation" recedes. There is appeal to customers of mobile demand in this country. The benefit to other industries is important, automobile production being wholly responsible for highway construction and taking 13 per cent of all steel produced and a much larger part of all glass and aluminum, while it employs 400,000货车 carriers. It is closely linked up with the automobiles—Tosca-Kapital.

The speaker is for that city, the League of Nationalists came to support the part of Upper Silesia to Poland, despite the fact that 50 per cent of the inhabitants voted in a pleblicite in favor of remaining a part of the German state. The splitting in twain and in unequal parts of a great industrial region was "against all reason". Poland, however, easily finds a "reason" for the division and can explain to her supporters why she voted. Such usually is the case with most pleblicites, as we have seen in the uncertainty of that device in the Taune-Arica dispute between Paré and Cile, and as we are very keen on seeing him counted in Nicaragua - New Orleans Times-Physicne.
