FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1928 MAY THEY WIN two events which may mark a great advance in science and world progress are under way. The German Graf Zeppelin has left Friedrichshafen, Germany, for Lakehurst, N. J. and Commander Byrd has sailed from Los Angeles on an expedition into the Antarctic. The flight of the Graf Zeppelin is an attempt to prove the practicability of trans-oceanic transportation by dirigibles while Commander Byrd heads southward in the hope of being able to "fill in some vacant spaces on the map" and make other scientific investigations. Both lives and fortunes are being risked on those two adventures which call for both the best in courage and character from these participants. Anxiously the civilized world awaits the outcome of these projects and fervently hopes for their success. OUR COOKS FEED US Two days ago in New York City, John Cooper went to jail because he refused to pay for a hard one Michel. He ordered a soft one, Cooper himself was a cook, and to him the difference between a hard and soft onelet was as distinct as between beef and ham. He was arrested and chose a two-day sentence rather than pay for what he had not ordered. The Magistrate who found him guilty guilty oversaw the standards of service as he did no. Ham and egg lunch counterts will no longer make any effort to meet the demand of the patron. Hard eggs can be served for as much, and probably peached for failed, serrated for boiled with equal impunity. And the customer who knows his eggs and is able to judge the quality of those served to him is no better off than the abortive-minded man who sinks his eggs and saits his coffee. We hope the kings of flapjackdom will not extend their dominence further and run the great American stomach by forcing their patrons to eat pie three daily because it is easy to serve. SLOW JUSTICE American court systems are often criticized and justly so. They are slow, complicated and clumy. Two examples of inefficiency on the part of the judicial system are in evidence today. The first of these is the Hickman murder case. Caught a year ago, Hickman confessed the crime but gave as the reason mental deficiency: He is to be hanged Oct. 19, but should the people be content with such a slow movement of justice? The complicated and clumsy machinery of the courts has been manipulated to stay justice as long as possible. The other case is that of Lobe and Leopold in which the two confessed murders were sent to prison and now some lawyer finds that there is a discrepancy in the records and they may be eligible for parole in a few years. Attorneys are criticized frequently because they make but few attempts to simplify the legal machinery. The more work to be done, they reason, the more lawyers required to do it. But should justice be handicapped because of the special interests of a few? THE HATLESS FAD The hateless hats has spread to Paris. Owners of bat checking privileges get nothing but a cloudy future. Tips for checking articles of clothing are becoming severe because many men go bareheaded and the women sellmow wear clocks. The motor car, increased interest in sports and poor management of the check rooms in public places are listed as the main reasons for the spread of the anti-hat movement. with the exception of the compulsory freshman cap, the badass hilt receives universal sanction on the campus at K. U., as it does on many other "hill". The absence of headwear may be regarded as emblematic of a sort of freedom. The wind blowing through the hair seems to clothe one in a spirit of youth—a spirit far away from grief and burden. This is adequately described when it is likened to the feeling experienced by a person when he takes a gay cooling ride in a smooth-running motor car on a pleasant autumn day. No hats tape no nips for checking. And if tipping is un-American then hats and checking tips are certainly "un-jawhawk." "HEROES" A marathon spellbinder has concluded his 120-hour speech, thus accomplishing a difficult task and announcing himself as a new hero. Bat after all, what has he done? Nothing. He belongs to our popular class of champions — such as long time and long distance dancers, flag writers "pitter" and wheeledshoppers. These "heeros" of more muscular than bones are exaggerating and distorting natural abilities to gain notoriety or possibly a $8 bill. It is about time for us to know these insignificant roles who hold the world's record for showing the largest end of tobacco or supporting the longest kiss. Let these stunts take place without the benefit of publicity and see what happens! K. U. is certainly getting frisky with basketball games this year. Besides playing the regular big Six contests, too. University bankteens will play three games in California, two with Notre Dame, one at Omaha and one with Washburn College at Topknot. Now that the world series is finished, Bird has started for the Artie Tunney in married and the Los Angeles has returned to its Lakelobert station, there should be a little room for political stories at least. Smith will invade Missouri next week in his second tour into the west. Some are wondering whether he will take a Missouri mule back with him or a lot of those privates votes. Football players at Ames certainly desire to get the most out of their practice periods. Wednesday night they practiced so late that food lights had to be turned on. World series admission refunds amounting to $185,000 are being sent to those persons who purchased tickets for the fifth game between the Yankees and Cards which did not materialize. It certainly must be hard to give back so much money, especially in view of the trouble it usually takes to sell tickets for anything. The police chief at Galena, Kansu is "agni" smoking on the part of girls. Two girl smokers were recently taken to the police station there and given a severe old-fashioned "talking to." We wonder how much success the chief would have at K. U. A young man in Kansas City went to see his girl. But his rival was there. The rival greeted the young man by striking him with a ukelele and cutting gas above his left eye. It seems that the ukelele may become a useful instrument after all. Youth, at the World Congress of Youth for Peace, meeting in Holland, is taking a firm stand against war; and Why not? If youth can stand against war, should it not lead the attack against it? — Christian Science Monitor Our Contemporaries About the campus winks the young man of distinctive headwear. Precumably he is a wha-yan. Porlaps he gazes questioningly at an obituary in a local newspaper, and again, he may not. Occasionally the rechman is an efface individual, a bit bored at the intrigues of matriarchs or the prettiest students less than the sophomore or junior. less than the squamous cell nesting foot on Minnesota. With a year or two of training at a small college, the upperclassmen plummet into the new life about him and is expected to swim peacefully. And all the while he may be as bewildered in his attempt as to his success, one man, from a small college, is still very much a novice. THE GREEN CAP Concern for the frost approaches tender solicitation. Are we an assistant of the problems of other students at the institution? How are you assigned on transfusing from his Alma Mater; it is disbartending to learn that a course must be lengthened out. He may be philodolophy (dolophy) and he might violet, the victim might help him (and himself before he runs farther attack). If he comes from a distant state he is more lonely than the freshman who is coming in followed from his benni home. The movement to orient Freshmen to the University may develop in them a felling contentment. It is a spendid movement but it should reach out to serve all those who need it. Why? Because you do not want people who do not the green can? Minnesota Daily What Kansas Editors Say GERMANY DRY? Talk of Germany and Scotland going prohibition has been in past years decidedly a Joking matter. As it turned out, the world is one of the world's system because there is some well organized prohibition policy on in that country itself. It isn't moral crumbling. It is a campaign based on industrial expediency and as the nation, Germany, is constituted, that message packs a punch. Since the war German has had to deal with its own industry, its next big industrial prefecture, National pride has to do with influencing German workers to enter into the spirit of the drive for uprampment. And with responsible German leaders going the length and breadth of the land linking to Europe, German workers with German industrial leadership they are sowing seeds in fertile soil. This campaign is not a flush in the pin, it has been going on for months and with mansurage results. Last week the Berlin team beat Berlin 200 to 260 and the tendency of young folks in the beer garden to order soft drinks instead of water. The German trend indicates that ridicule of American prohibition may be taken more seriously at borne upon abroad. Such industrials as Henry Ford have made the statement in Europe that intricate machinery and liqueur will not mix. That short on labor is one reason why German consciousness than the statistics about American bootleggers and American law violations. -Wichita Eagle A NEW “QUENTIN ROOSEVELT” Theodore Borsutki, veteran of the German army who came to America after the war, became a naturalized citizen in 1947 and took the other day. To prove that he be renounced all allegiance to his former country, he not only gave up his name, but surrendered also one of his most irited passions—an iron fist, which he used as fire while fighting for the Kaiser. THE JAP PRINCESS The heir apparent of Japan, the younger brother of the present em- are an interesting tale. Somehow, we have a feeling that old Colonel Roosevelt, if he were alive, would not seriously amuse this man's action. Kansas City Kansas THE JAP PRINCESS For his new name this immigrant chose the name of Questin Roosevelt. And his iron cross will go to St. Louis, where he will be placed on Roosevelt's grave. There can be no question of the trade which has been exercised by the Prince. He has picked a good look for the industry, and ambition. But if the Prince thinks that three years acquaintance with American ways can be destroyed by a marriage cereal, he has not in another think coming. peron, is being married to a dapness girl who has had three years schooling in America. Japanese women have never had much to say about matters either at home or abroad. The young lady who spent three years in American and get some items of clothing she wants to do, will never lose into the ancient way and accept orders from the husband because he is descended from the sun. She will give him an entirely different course in life than she does in those days when the custom in the Mikado's realms. At any rate he will have to like it or he will be out of luck. A Salina youth tells the Journal that "Kanaas grows the best sweeties in the world." Hutchison News Kansas City Kansas An agnostic told us the other day there is no such real thing as root faith. Probably he's never seen a fountain pen saleman hawk a "numbreakable" pen cap on the floor and jump up and down on it.

What the world needs is more well manned motorization—Atkinson Globe. Arkansas City Traveler As Others See It COLLEGE SPECIALIZATION In referring to the abandonment of the scheme of uniform study in American universities, Dr. Nicholas Murray further in his address he simply indulged what have become the established substitute. This substitute, of course, is education by courses not uniform but barely if not wholly prescribed so as to lead definitely in various dbs. Recent years have made it increasingly evident that the first stage in the movement away from prescribed uniformity in university study has definitely caused. In that first stage the institutions of Harring, offering courses for graduate students, gave the student the almost possible attitude of choice among courses. The system last favor when the educators found that too many of the students failed to take of their own record *n* basically consecutive series of courses. There has followed a trend where the student must select the group of his preference instead follow a sequence more fruitful to him than one of his own selection. The direction that he will take remains his to decide; the steps to that direction come within already termination of those who already attended the matter of which he be ignorant.

McColloch, Druggist 847 Mass. names may feel that the educated now no longer form a family or even a tribe having the same language. It seems to such critics that what is one learned man's knowledge in the next learned man's utter ignorance and misunderstanding of his common. Doctor Bather in his address to the freshman no doubt had such criticism in mind when he spoke to them of a common denominator in education. He think that common denominator is civilization prescribed for the incoming class at Columbia. The effort to give all college men under the modern dispensation some knowledge in common is more than a tribute to him. What more important requirement that there should be such a thing as education, as distinct from a whole list of superior and unconventional educations. The power of learning is largely a group power which is characterized by special education may revert toward ignorance if the specification turns to excess. - Brooklyn Eagle TOO MANY LIES Such a tissue of has been woven about the so-called naval "compromise" between Great Britain and France that the actual status of this country is obscure, while its naval forces more obscure, "Summaries" from Paris and "interpretations" from London serve only to give it more questionable appearance. The matter of navy "pooling", for instance, has again bobbed up, and the probability of a war in which it would be countered by a reminder that Angle-French naval co-operation during before the war was not based upon any definite diplomatic agreement. The admirals simply got together, and it is pointed out that naval officers of the two nations have had that such collaboration would go far to militate the Washington naval agreements, in which naval alliances were, of course not contemptulated, is obvious. It also goes without saying that the United States will take all possible steps to prevent combinations of this character. Philadelphia Ledger The farm problem in the United States may not be as simple as Dungas Jreriod once said it was in Australia where "the earth is so blind that just tickle her with a hoe and she laughs with a harvest," yet industry and thrift have solved many a problem.
