Dance Hall Becomes Murgue
The Newhall pool room and dance hall was turned overnight into a murgue, with walls placed along the four walls, and upon them lay the 46 bodies brought into Newhall from the surrounding courtyard.
Evidence of the merry-making scenes to which the hall was accustomed included a grotesque contrast to the picture; the end of the huge structure wreaths of holly from a Christmas celebration and the wall spelling the word "Welcome."

Industrial Experiments in Chicago Factories Discussed by Worker
"Only a feeling for all human kind would lead you into this other world," Miss Bernie Hadkin said at the YMCA, where she talked on her experiences working in a Chicago factory for six weeks last summer. The college women of the city were in was found in their own job, their own quarters in the poor districts of Chicago, dressed like factory workers in the wages of a factory girl.
Unions Get Fee, Without Giving Anything Back for Money.
"The purpose of this industrial group was to see the factory world and see it from their side of the fence," she said. "Due to the amount of unemployment in Chicago the woman had difficulty finding jobs, and they had to go to a job training center first day Mackin started looking for a job at 4:40 a.m. went to factories and employment bureaus where I saw jobs and are came back jobless at night."
At the end of the third day of jo-
hunting, all the women but one has a
job. Miss Haskin's job was that o
n her kitchen. She sat on an oven of revolving tea rafs and升 off surplus dough with one hand and lifted off a sheet of thin Nabisco waferies with the other hand in a dayly day except Sundia for six weeks.
It's the draughtry and monotony of work that wewares the factory girl down. "I'm so tired," she said. They do minimum parts of a business never knowing what the next part is.
Some of the jobs the other women got were, packing marmalacks, taking boxes from a store, fitting together two halves of a box, sticking labels and polishing the sides of new shoes. Besides this job, all the women in our constant fear of being fired.
Says Speaker
During the noon hour the workers rested on the board floor of the facility, while another team took part. The heat of the factory completely broke the health of two factory workers and two other fainted at their work while Mrs Huskin was
The labor unions seem to be only a thing to which the women pay fees and give nothing if they be long. In a factory in which one of the college women worked, all the employees had to sign a stalemate to work with labor union; nor associate with members of any union.
Miss Haskin was present at the Saco-Veniziano root in her factory girl's dress. Several of the people arrested, but Miss Haskin escapes
Two nights a week all the women on
the industrial group met at the Y. W.
House for these experiences, and listened to
teachings by many of the labor leaders of
their time.
The big question that the member of the group brought back was expressed by one of Miss Hankin's associates in the factory in these words: "I don't see why it is that some people want to wear a uniform, or of us, not have any money at all."

Shake Out Your Pennies and Purchase Your Pins
There is more than one way of get-ting a friendty in law. Any man can be your boyfriend, Apollo, or if his father owns half a doner oil well. But the girls have at least two choices.
Every girl has certain accomplishments, whether they are formally stated as by our friend of the Wisconsin talent she must make the foundation of her play for pins. She may be beautiful; she may dance divently; she may have one of those warm flattened cheeks; she may be believed; she may neck well; she may drive a Cadillac; she may be intelligent; she may be kind. If she has any one of these qualities, the man should be allowed to lose sight of the fact.
Of these multifarious methods depended on by college girls, most in volve more or less effort on the part of the student than on that she is usually successful when she starts out to get a pin, but sometimes the days and weeks of concentration on the subject, and adherence to the rules, deter her from the original start.
Why is there not some easier way
something as simple as shaking an
apple tree and gathering the fruit in
apples? Girls, here is your solution.
A short time ago the business department of the Kansan received an advert—which has not been published offering for sale "slightly above market price" and should furnish an inspiration and an idea to the girls of K. U. Why not visit the pawn shops of Lawrence and neighboring cities? The pins there might be obtained at slight interest but expended and no strings attached!

Mr. Brown indulged the audience when he stated that the only thing on which two Jews could agree, was that a third Jew should give money to
The question was then asked, whether he believed the effort to unite all religions into one would result in "the attempt to organize all religions will always result in trouble and is doomed to failure. This has been proved by the fact that an instance, the speaker referred to the result of a combination of several sects, their desire to erect one place of worship, the speaker referred to who should be the architect.
"The thirty years war was not one of religious animosities; neither was the World War for the sake of democracy. Our people want to fight it is because that war is just, fight it, and for more underlying causes than national," concluded Mr. Browne.
