Dr. Neumann Tells of Modern Morals at Noon Luncheon
Y. M. C. A. Forum Speaker Places Responsibility for Conditions on Science
Dr. Henry Neumann, leader of the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture, was the speaker at the Y. M. C. A. forum today at Myers hall. For his subject, Dr. Neumann chose "Is Morality Played Out?"
"The dispute today is due to the immense amount of knowledge handed down by sociologists, anthropologists, and our men of science," said the head of the group. "This stands in bewilderment before the conflicting ideas of what morality is."
Doctor Neumann then pointed out that we are governed a great deal by what is called conventional morality. As a definition of this important factor, he said that if we wanted to whether smoking was all right, we had to be very smart door. Whatever her answer was formed conventional morality.
"Some people say there is no right or wrong, but this is only in simple terms. You know that he continued the speaker. "But one may look so intently at the worst as to think it's a mistake."
"To find out what is most real of life, one must study the slums of human life, and the way to understand them. We have said that the educator. The Eskimo may practice polygamy and see no harm in it, but that would not be right in Kansas. We have the advantage of being able to speak without the speaker, "and the speaker,
It was then shown that the scientist is no different from the bookkeeper, in that he may lose his job if he doesn't keep his books straight. The first-rate workman lives to get the approval of people on the outside of work, but he knows whether it is good work, continued Doctor Neumann.
"The Indian builds a teepiece of poles and buffalo skins, but should we want to study architecture at its best, we would examine the Woolens factory in which would more suit our needs," concluded Doctor Neumann.
How "Etaoin" Entered Our Periodical Columns
"Etatou," spells, nothing. It is just a jumble of meaningless letters. Yet it creep in, occasionally into the best whimsy and delight of a wateful eye of the proofer whose duty it is to seek out and punish such intruders by ordering them cast away into the "Hell Box" as a punishment for the uttempt to scratch "their way into print."
How does it happen? How do these queer idea creep into the mind of the printer? What prompts him to permit such unimittible intelligences totp the printer? The printer's notional foresaid, the "pi-line" is used as a catch-line, to notify the profrailer or make-up man that an insertion or a correction should follow. Again, it may be necessary to begin creating a line, notes a transposition or other mistake and rather than attempt to correct it, fills the line in the easiest and most rapid method possible. To prevent neglecting to remove the sturc cast from the "pi-line".
"Etainn," to the printer, spells "Spil Line." To him, it signifies a warning "Watch out, when there's something here." He goes on, "We go here." Quite often, "Etainn" is accompanied with other queer-shaped figures, sigs, capitals, "ffs", and even a rational word may some mystery be discerned. All add to the mystery.
It is this seemingly least laborious method that produces "etatoin". The operator in filling the line with the least loss of time, draws, down the line and starts moving once it is the most convenient character. As his finger is guided down the board, it strikes first e, then o, n, o, i, and finally n, just like a small boy tumbling on a rope out, sent through the machine, cast into a slug and 'Etatoin' results. If the slug is removed before the form is sent to press, nothing more is thought of as incident. If not, the whole world would
The word "pi-line" seems to have been taken from the name of an early Chinese printer, Pi, by name. He is said to have invented about 500 years ago of making about the 600 A.D.

Dr. Caroline Hedger
Addresses W. S. G. A.
on Health Program
An individual and co-operative health program was the theme of Dr Caroline Hedger's lecture, "Health Service as a role for Women", which was given yesterday afternoon in central Administration auditorium. The course was given as a part of the W.S.G.A. vocational information program.
Sane, Not Instinctive, Eating Is Stressed as Practical Way of Living
"Instinctive living is no longer the practical way of living," said Doctor Heider. "Nowadays people have found that it does not pay to eat food just because one likes it. Rather it demands that one eat dividual to eat what has been proved is the best for his health and the health of the nation.
"Health depends on sane eating and it is the basis of a feeling of general well-being, efficiency and a non-immunely enjoyable social life." the speaker said.
"I believe the institution of higher learning owes something to the individual for this reason. If everyone goes to college, we need health before he entered colleges and knew how to eat for his individual needs, the institution would have no problems. This is not the fact in American today. Very few people, on the average, have this knowledge. Therefore the institution has an important role in the individual," Doctor Hedger stated.
"The institution should feel re-confident for seeing that every situation person, physically as well as intellectually, than he was when he came
"Every individual should set the goal for himself of physical perfection for a sound social and economic life," Doctor Heedr concluded.
Worm Survey Being Made
Distribution of Pests Sought by Entomology Class
Members of Prof. P. A. Readhá as introductory ontology class are making a survey of the city in order to understand age of infestation of aln trees by canker worms. Professor Readhá divided the city in 24 districts and met with worms to find how numerous the canker worms were, and also to find just how successful the worms were. Each student is to make a map of his district, and check all the banded trees and number of pests on each one of them.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1920
The results of this unofficial investigation are to be used by the city commission to determine whether or not worms in the water or other worms is increasing yearly. If they find that it has been increasing very rapidly it is possible that they may pass an ordinance requiring all water and sewage from a city to be it possible that the infestation has not been increasing, but that different areas are being infested while the previously infested areas are becoming less infested. The section on Lawrence have been badly infested by canker worms at one time or another. One section in the northwest part of town was literally covered with canker worms at one time.
Footprints taken on the same order as our fingerprints are being used in Ceylon for the identification of criminals, due to the fact that a great part

Marion Kaplan, 1400 Tennessee — "It should be Democratic because the democratic party expresses more the emocratic ideas of the people."

Dorothy Guthie, 1602 London-ish — Think it should be Republican because she was born in this section of the country. Also I think it would represent more of the

'Octopus" Portrays Struggles of Youth Against Drug Habit
Unusual Effect of Fire Gaine During Restaurant Scene by Lighting
An ex-footballer who contracted trench-mouth during the war, and then became a victim of the drug habit in the main character in "The Green Hornet" will be presented tomorrow evening in the Liberty Memorial High School by the original cast which presides over games ago in the Kansas City theater.
The play is written and directed by William H. Anthony, A. B. 25, who has taught at Kansas University his sister, Lorence Anthony, who is a school of dramatic art in Kansas.
On his return his family discovered the truth, and the rest of the play is devoted to their efforts to rescue him from the tyranny of Kansas aid the family in this struggle, and persuades the boy to help in the capture of the leader of the narcotic ring. In the scene on the banks of the Kaw, the boy is trapped under the window of the cabin where the boy has trailed the leader. The fire in the restaurant scene is caused by the narcotic gang, who set the fire to the house. A third degree scene furnishes another tense period of action.
The rather somber tone of the play is relieved by the humor and action of the characters. The play, "Practically every character in the play is drawn from real life, and probably could recognize some of the comedies they said today," the "members of the cast are a varied group." Besides their humor, they range in age from 17 to 70."

A set of true and false questions is given the student, and by the answers it is determined whether the student is to be a lawyer, engineer, or doctor. The correlation is almost perfect. This system at Leland Stanford illustrates some of the advancement made so far towards the subject of vocation.

This Newspaper Work
Not So Easy, Says Cub
"I just have fifteen minutes to write this story because I promised to meet Neel in fifteen minutes and he would just be furious if I wasn't there. Anyway I think a girls men friends are an old newspaper story any day."
No saying the new cub reporter seated herself at the typewriter and began a rather laborious attempt to write
"Let's see now, where is A? Oh,
shoot. I can never find that shoob.
I must remember it is next to N because
Nelie's name begins with N. That Terry-
belle did not know what the man that
invented this old thing didn't put the
keys in alphabetical order. I erased
everyone so they would have to take
lessons. I didn't take lessons and
wellly. I'm getting along well."
By this time the hard-booted senioropter has moved over to the typewriter at the other side of the room, and I can't help but notice minutes and I'm not half through. This nasty old keyboard, I didn't want a comma I wanted a question mark, so I strolled in to see what of them on one key, it's so confusing. I just can't finish this now, I'll just have to come back later. Anyway I will take me to Brick's. Not promised to take me to Brick's.
