Army Is Formed in China to Save Ten Million People
Enlisted Laborers Protec Lives Now Threatened by Famine Due to Flood
A
Peking, May 13—Seventy thousand laborers are being enlisted as a peaceful army of the Nationalist government in Central China to save the lives of 10,000,000 threatened by famine due to flood.
Reports received here by O. J. Todd, who has been in charge of engineering work for the International Famine Relief Commission and who is now to be supervising engineer of the new projects, indicates that the Hupch Dikre Division has unified an excellent chance of success. Todd has left Polking after assisting in arrangements for additional funds.
Dikes were Neglected
For 30 years various war lords had allied with the water of the upper Yangtai and the Han to go in ruin. They had diverted to their own private quarrels the funds urgently needed for nurse repair. Lost the dikes, they went into worst floods of fifty years. This summer—anything may happen.
But if the efforts of the Nationalist leaders and 70,000 mildly telling officers who were not supposed to happen; for the old policy of neglect has gone by the board and man power, backed by modern engineering, the former almost ruined last year in the floods.
Men Earn 10 Cents a Day
Even though the workers will give their services for a wage barely enough to cover their food—10 cents a dey U. $1. Currency, five cents less than has been the practice even in the most famine-astractinic districts heretofore. We work this year will pay about $1,750,000 it is estimated. Because the peasants are guarding their own farms, it may be taken as certain that they will give of their best efforts.
"We hope to do a good job," Todd said before departure southward. "The new dijes will be built up well above high water level, and there will be a 20 foot road along the top of each. This road will allow motor trucks to pass along to do emergency work on the coast. The road will also provide a place for ordinary traffic along the most-travelled routes, the waterways."
The present undertakings will give a breathing spell, however.
Repairs Are Temporary
Information gathered by the nationalist News Agency quotes Sun Foone of the Nationalist leaders and one of the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen, as explaining that even though this summer's floods are beaten, the repairs this year can be nothing but temples, not buildings, solving the floods of the Yanitze and Han, he declared, "involves work on a gigantic scale, the regulation of the whole Yangtze river system."
"The peasants are right in saying we came just in time," said Sum. "This year would have meant disasters because that it challenges comprehension."

State Legislation Is Expected to Raise the Standards of Profession
Alpha Delta Sigma to Advocate Licensing of Advertising Men
The annual national convention of Alpha Delta Sigma, professional advertising fraternity, was held May 9 and 10 at Columbia, Mo., in connection with the annual journalism program at the University of Missouri.
The Kansas chapter was represented by five men, John Sparks, c$^{28}$, Earl Stirrup, c$^{29}$, Earl Stirrup, c$^{28}$, Earl Stirrup, c$^{28}$, and Ernest Stanley, c$^{28}$. Sessions of the convention were held in the council room of the Missouri School of Journalism.
Along with other business of the convention, plans were laid for the national organization of Alpha Delta Sigma to sponsor legislation in the various states relating to the licensing of advertising men; to establish a certified public accountants are licensed. The adoption of such a policy of state examination and recognition of men engaged in the profession of advertising is calculated to protect the interests of the advertisers from the inefficient vendor of advertising, and also to ensure the advertising profession in general.
Walter Williams, dean of the School of Journalism at the University of Missouri, and a professor of education, was the main speaker at a banquet given by the Missouri chapter of Alpha Delta Stigma for the delegates to the
"Advertising," and Dean Williams in his talk, "is a service of light baiting, and at its best is the means of better living to others. More important than the very desirable qualities of energy, enthusiasm, and mastery of technique in an advertising medium, the skills of sympathy, and moral standards."
"Schools of journalism and advertising are trying now not only to train journalists in the technical sense, but also to instill in them the high ethical standards which are so essential to the continued success of advertising."
Dean Williams also spoke of the

Bill Wouldn't Brag--
But Bill Was Human
When Bill rushed downstairs to clip the story about the baseball game the day before, he was driven by that very human desire to see his name in print. Besides, he had struck out eight men—wasn't that a thing to be proud of?
And when he couldn't find a single house copy of the Kansan, he was just human enough to be mad about it. It wasn't Bill's fault that he wanted that story to send home. And it wasn't Bill's fault that he was in no shape to be sociable all day long when he failed to find that coveted story.
If the house manager had loosened up a little there would have been plenty of Kansans and Bill wouldn't have been grouchy all day.
If this happened at YOUR house, you'd better ask the house manager to investigate the Kansan's special offer to fraternities and sororities for next year.
