Ise Gives Fire-Side Talk
Says Students Should Acquire Intellectual Modesty
Profess. John Ike, of the department of economics, gave another of the after dinner fire-side talks which are sponsored by the Y, M, C, A., at the Sigma Ns house yesterday evening. Benefits of the College Education."
Some of the greatest developments that come from college life, according to Professor Isel, are intellectual modesty, attained usually in the juices of adolescence. Students get in the habit of knowing what is on the printed page.
Professor Ice took up the question of the study of economics and work in the School of Business, saying that they did not teach economics to show the students how to make money, but taught them how to respond to the social conditions of business. A number of examples were given of men who had studied economics and business subjects at Kansas University, their success being largely due to their ability to sense business conditions and business problems. College education is most valuable, when one has a specific goal in mind to work toward.
Continuing Professor Ise said, "human progress depends on the critical faculties and students should develop more of the critical aspect. Students should carry away this intellectual modesty as it will be a foundation for them to work on. After being out of school, students forget an allege of the things they studied in college but if they were interested they will carry a dream and an inspiration. If they do not acquire the habit of critical analysis and knowing what to look for in college, then they have not been educated."

The small group went to the rear of the White House, where high ranking officers of the military and congressional leaders waited.
The president spoke a few words of praise for Landorberg's courage and leadership, and he sent them to Paris. He then produced the wide blue ribbon from which was suspended the coveted medal, awarded only by act of congress and for showing great patriotism.
Earlier in the day he appeared before the house committee on military affairs to urge. increased pay and salary for military and naval sailors.
After the medal of honor presentation, he was given a special medal from the Aeronautical League of France by Secretary of War Travis K. Baldwin, who directed his flew with 98 members of companies over the city in 11 trips.

Rucker Stresses Need
for Airdrome Here
at Aero Club Meeting
Location of Temporary Field For All-Kansas Air Tour
The immediate problem facing the club is that of boating a temporary landing field for the all-Kanas air tour which is being planned in the spring. The refinery of the Lawrence chamber of commerce, reported that he and a few other men of Lawrence had submitted a list of possible landing fields to the field inspectors for the tour, but all the plots were rejected, because the plots were either too small or too rough placed on the tour.
Capt. Benjamin P. Giles of the air corps at 7P, Leavenworth talked on the needs and possibilities of an air port that was not built until Lawrence did not have an air port soon, it would hold the status of a small country town that has no rail roads now. He pointed out that an air port is one of the costs of price one mile of concrete road.
"We have to have an air-port. That's all there is to it," were the words of O. M. Rucker, president of the Aero club, in a short talk before the club at their banquet which was held at the Thimble Tea room Wednesday evening. These words were the key note of the evening.
Lieut. H. D. Smith of Leavenworth told of some of his experiences in the air army corps, Dr. Lyle F. Powell of Lawrence, who was commander of a squadron of planes over seas during the war also told a few of his experiences and spoke of the possible sites for an air port for Lawrence.
However the idea was not given up, Mr. Scott called Wichita, where the tour will set out, and asked that some of the smaller planes stop at some smaller available field in Lawrence and confer the charter upon the K. U. chapter of the N. A. A. The club will receive definite word within the next eight weeks. Mr. Brown has offered his home place of about eighty acres free of charge if it can be used for a port for some of the smaller planes of the tour.
Lieut. H. F. Meyers of the military science department spoke of the getting an air unit here in the R. O. T. C. and a small aircraft in by such a small majority and have so much opposition that it would be difficult to get another unit at K. U. However, if the R. O. T. C. could get the landing field would be solved.
Charles F. Rutter, a former K. U. man who is now situated at the air field at Pt. Leavenworth, proposed that the best way to overcome objections to an air field was to take the objectors up in a plane.
Tonight at 7:30 a lecture will be given in the Commons coeving points already taken up in the club for the first meeting, who did not attend the first meetings.
Prof. A. H. Slus of the School of Engineering said in a short talk that he would like to see a course of three or six hours in aviation put into the School of Engineering. If the plans of the club work out, such a course would be necessary for the club must do, according to Professor Slus is to get a landing field.
Dr. Edwin H. Tayler of the biological science department acted as toast-master.

(United Press)
Washington, March 22—Secretary of Treasury Mellon's four year silence regarding what he knew about the oil deal requires that he resign. Senator Coozus, Republican, Michigan, told the senate today.
Counsors urged adoption of his resolution to express the sense of the senate that Mellon should retire from public office.
Melton knew About Friend
"Mellon knew a fraudulent scheme was being perpetrated on the Republican party when Will Hays went to give him an email to get him to help cover up $0,000 of the $160,000 contribution of Harry Sinclair," Couzens asserted, opening debate on his resolution.
Mellon Knew About Fraud
"But Mellon kept silent. Only death disclosed the fact that he knew about the Sinclair contribution—the death of John T. Pratt of New York, whose secret files revealed the name 'Amy' written on a private note.
"Mellon told the committee he know of the bonds before Hays brought him to him," Cozzes said, quoting from a transcript of the Teape deed hearing. He also told the committee that the bonds came from Sinclair.
Senate to Set Standard
Czechos们 quoted from recent

chairman of the board of the Pittsburgh Coal company, that Melania has a large interest in the company.
"The senate set a high standard for itself in the refusing to sent Senator-select Vare but it continues in office one who is much more culpable. Mr. Mellon, who contributed to that campaign."
