State Convention of Women Voters Begins Tomorrow
No.130
League Seeks to Increase Knowledge of Politics Among Feminine Students
"University women should be vitally interested in the state convention of the Kansas League of Women Voters to be held in Lawrence March 14 to 16. This is a splendid opportunity for women students to participate in political politics," said Prof. F. H. Guild, of the department of political science.
Miss Ruth McIntosh, regional secretary of the League, who is in Lawrence making plans for the convention, says "Kansas can't organize." She doesn't organize a New Vets League among its students." In many universities they have been carrying on work for child labor amendments and round tables among the women. Some of our best League members are recent college graduates.
Miss McInesh urges all University women to attend the meetings of the convention and especially the New Voters' luncheon to be held Wednesday at 12:15 in the Thimble Theater where they may be made by calling the tea room.

New Voter student delegates are to be present from Wichita, Emporia and Manhattan and Dean Agnes Husband has asked that students co-operate in helping entertain the delegates.
Miss Belle Sherwin, of New York City, president of the National League of Women Voters, will be one of the principal speakers throughout the convention and the public. Ms. Sherwin will discuss the topic, "Why Women Are Interested in Politics," showing what college women may do to further this interest. Mrs. Roscoe Anderson, of St. Louis, and Miss Sella Haines, of Augusta, the only woman member of the mayor's legislature, will also be speakers.
Purpose of League Changed Miss Sherwin will give a picture of the work of the League in the 44 states in which it is organized. What does she teach women how to vote but now since the field has developed so rapidly members of the League realize that democratic government is under fire and it is necessary to interpret this government to the mass of people. Miss Sherwin believes that this idea is not only taking away the power of the leading men are seeing the necessity of furthering political education.
The regular sessions of the convention will open on Tuesday morning at the Thimble tea room. There will be a report on the conference for cure of war, which was held in Washington, D. C., last December, given by Mr. H. Boehler, president of IH. B. Chabo, of the department of political science, will make an address on "The International Situation Today."
Discussions to Be Held
Round table luncheons will be held at the close of the morning session and the afternoon will be given over to discussion of the policies and technique of the League of Women Vets in respect to organization programs. Miss Sherman will speak on "The Relation of the National to the State and Local League," and Mrs. C. J. Evans, Tampea, president of the national organization, will discuss "The New Local from the State's Viewpoint."
FOUR PAGES
On Wednesday morning the session will consist of an analysis of the national and state program of work The subject of "Taxation" will be discussed by Prof. W. A. Ashburn, the Secretary, and Prof. W. A. Ashburn, of the department of political science, will speak on "The Primary and the Short Ballot."
The business of the convention will be closed by the adoption of the state program of work and the election of new officers. The last event will be the New Voter Jumboheim in charge of University students.
The Dave, which has been announced as appearing Monday morning, will not be on sale until the latter part of the week. It is in the hands of the printers, but they have been forced to postpone printing because of the large amount of business which must be done first.
Carruth Memorial Fund in Need of Contributions

Student Pilgrimage Plans Are Being Made For Trip This Summer
Tour to Europe Sponsored by National Student Council of Y. W. C. A.
The third women's student pilgrimage to Europe has been arranged for a group of 25 women who will go under the auspices of the National Student Council of the Y. W. C. A. university, and will attend at Y. W. C. A. secretaries from different schools of the country will compose the group.
The University of Kansas has been represented on both the other pilgrimages. The representative on the first pilgrimage was Nell Lorimer, A. B. 26. Those who went last year were: Miss Marius Rug, W. Y. C. a secretary; Dorothy Lorton, c27; and Marjorie Day, A. B. 25.
Some of the requirements for applicants are: a speaking knowledge of French or German, a knowledge of present issues, willingness to read and study, and belief in international understanding and friendship. Membership and white race were represented last year, and several Indian women are expected to join the group this year, according to Miss Russia. The itinerary is being arranged by Conrad Hoffman, executive secretary of international student service. The party will sail from New York on the Majestic, June 25, 2018, which will be visited are: England, Scotland, Holland, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Geneva, Italy and France.
The cost of the trip is $700 which includes all expenses. A part of the time the group will be divided and the two groups will visit different places. Europe will be by boat at stages of Europe at most of the stages on the trip.
Fourteen new pianos were purchased by the music department of Baker University. Thirteen uprights will be used for practice.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, MARCH 13, 1927
The school could not ignore such a state of affairs. More and more educators became conscious of a spirit that was in need of adjustment also adopt new to conditions.
America and the Future Is Thomas' Convocation Topic
Democracy League Director Will Deliver Address in Gym Monday Morning
The old Latin-Grammar schools had placed sole emphasis on old classical curriculum. The development of an abstract culture had been a fundamental aim. With the new spirit came a demand for more practice, and to forth with the organization of numerous public academies which had in their curriculum such
The 18th century was outstanding for its rapid economic development. New inventions especially were instrumental in bringing about reorganization of the industrial field and new industries was placed on industrial processes.
Origin of Public High Schools Dates Back One Hundred Years to Founding in Massachusetts
"America and the Future" is the subject of the address which Norman Thomas, executive director of the League of Industrial Democracy and contributing editor to The Nation and The World Tomorrow, will deliver an all-Universityconcussion Monday at 10 a.m. in Robinson gymnasium.
The public high school celebrated its 100th birthday, Thursday, for it was on March 10, 1827, that our national institution had its beginning.
Mr. Thomas' alma mater is Princeton University and during his college days he represented that school in debates with Harvard and Yale. He was valedictorian of his class and a member of Pibi Beta Kapraffin. After graduation he spent two years in settlement and then went on to travel around the world. Later he entered the Union Theological Seminary.
Mr. Thomas is here in connection with the Pan-Pacific Conference conducted by the University Y. M. C. A. at Temple University on Tuesday, Y. M. C. A. for Tuesday noon.
Is Editor of Labor Publication
In the fall of 1922 Mr. Thomas resigned the editorship of The World Tomorrow and the assistant editor of The New York Leader, a new labor paper which sought to avoid the purely propagandist and to stress the more constructive phases of labor problems. Although lack of co-operation with the public under the publication a short-lived affair it nevertheless set a precedent for future journalism of that nature. Recently Mr. Thomas has served as secretary of the Fellowship of Reconciliation and his present headquarters at 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
Is Princeton Graduate
"Mr. Thomas is said to be a very excellent speaker," said Dean John R. Dyer, chairman of the commission committee, who will prosecute with international relations, especially with reference to the Philippine Islands and the Pacific area," he continued.
While a senior in the seminary he became associate pastor of the Brick Presbyterian church, one of the older churches of New York City.
Christy Assists with Program
The convocation program will be
assisted by Eugene Christy, associate
professor of voice in the School of
Fine Arts. Mr. Christy will sing
with the orchestra accompanied on
the piano by C. A. Preyer, professor of piano in the
School of Fine Arts.
Monday evening Mr. Thomas will be the guest of honor at a smoker given by the University Club. He can "Can We Believe in Democracy?"
The beginning came with the operation of the Massachusetts Law of 1827, a law which required the establishment of high schools and to which, with a few exceptions only, all the high schools of the country owe their basis in aim, theory and practice. It remained the basis of all subsequent legislation in that state and became the for school laws of the whole nation.
It was the high school which was to solve the double problem, and this it did. By combining the "public" feature of the Latin-Grammar school with the curriculum of the academies there was established an institution which 100 years of experimenting have justified. To Massachusetts goes the credit for the successful development. To her goes the honor for the Law of 1827 which made our high school system a possibility.
One strong objection, however, existed against the academics: private ownership. The course of study had been enriched, co-education had been introduced, education in general had been popularized. But it had not been democratized. The academies were where those who could afford to pay the tuition.
subects as would be of value in the commercial world.
Up to the time of the Civil War development was slow but since that time, and especially since the World War our aim has been universal security. The only challenge is the only country that has ever attempted the tremendous task and the future alone can pass judgment on the judiciousness of the undertaking. It is clear that the Army shall have performed a feat unduplicated in the history of the world.

Kansas Loses Second Match to Missouri in Meet Yesterday
Principal Scores Indicate Visiting Team Is Winner of Meet by Big Margin
The Kansas R, O. T, C. rife team was defeated by the team from the University of Missouri in their second shoulder-to-shoulder match in the basement of the Missouri State football team. The final scores were: Missouri 1,884 and Kansas 1,852.
The match was fired under provisional cited in a contract agreed upon by officials of the teams from the two schools, Lieut. Harry F. Meyers of Kansas and Capt. J. J. Coughlin of Missouri. Ten students registered in the University and enrolled in the R. O. T. C., if in good scholastic standing, were cligible for entry in the match.
In the match yesterday 10 men from each team fired one shot on each ball's eye and one on the sighting target, making a possible score of 50 instead of the desired parity. All ten scores counted in the total. Wescott, captain of the Missouri team and Luther, also from Missouri, tied for the high score, each making a total of 189 points out of a total of 234. Tomlinson's score of 102 points was the high score for the Kansas队.
The two teams will meet twice in shoulder-to-shoulder matches next year. The Missouri team will come to Lawrence for the first match, the day of the Kansas-Missouri football game next November. The Kansas team will return the visit sometime in the spring.

Fraternities Still Untaxed
Revenue Increase Insufficient to Justify Bill
Topeka, March 11 — Fraternities and sororities of colleges and universities in the state of Kansas州 sororities from paying state taxes.
A bill introduced by Senator Johnson of Lawrence which would have repealed the law exempting fraternities and sorrenties from paying fees on cases where courts was killed yesterday by the committee on assessments and taxation.
Senator Johnson introduced the bill with a view of forcing fraternities and sororites to pay taxes, because, he said, under the existing law the state was losing quite a sum which it would otherwise have.
The revenue would be increased considerably Johnson believed if fraternity and sorority houses were taxed. However, it was pointed out that the houses were in the houses where they live, but merely lease them, and it was doubted if there would be much of an increase. The bill had not any intention of increasing security and sorority houses from the state, according to Senator Johnson.
Because of unusual activities in painting the rival campuses of Baker and Ottawa Universities, a recent resolution was passed at the latter school, as follows: "We, the students of Ottawa University, resolve that in college we should not attempt to guard or protect either our campus or athletic field, believing that we can trust the honor of the students of Baker University."
Chemistry Demonstration Well Liked Over State
Prof. Harvey V. Moyer of the chemistry department gave his lecture demonstration on "The Chemistry of Common Things" at the following Kansas town this Wednesday, Delaware Friday, Hesston; Tuesday, Larned.
The lecture is a very popular one, according to G V. Keeler, secretary of the lecture course bureau, and many requests are received for return engagements from towns in White County during the week of March 21 Professor Moyer will go to Eskridge and Stanley, and this will complete his engagements under the auspices of the lecture course bureau this year.
Grand Canyon Ranger
Discovers Footprints
of Extinct Animals
Relaxation Service
One Specimen Estimated to Be About Thirty-Five Million Years Old
The second stab is only about half as old, belonging to the Pennsylvaniaian or upper coal age level. The tracks on this are an animal with well-developed hooves that are represented by the modern frogs and salamanders. Though distinct from other tracks previously reported from the Grand Canyon, they have a sort of scorpion-like marking.
One of the specimens is of a greater age than any hitherto discovered at the Grand Canyon, belonging to the Cambrian age, before any four-footed backboned animals had appeared on earth. The tracks and armrests of these creatures are stone, with no trace of tees, and between them traits a sinuous double furrow, as though some part of the animal's body had dragged through the sandy mud. It is probable that the creature that made them belonged to the zoological group now represented by crayfish, scorpions and other invertebrates, that rocks is so great that it remains largely a matter of conjecture; 35,000 years has been suggested
Doctor Gilmore states that he intends to spend some time at the Grand Canyon during the spring or fall, when it provides cracks and seeking for new material.
Washington, March 11.—New finds of fossil footprints of extinct animals, inludely printed on slabs of solid stone, have recently been brought to Washington by G. F. Sturlevant, ranger naturalist of Grand Canyon National Park, and served with Dr. Clinton W. Glimore at the United States National Museum.
"High Hat Johnny" Lenny, last of a long line of chimp sweeps, was found upon the campus Friday afternoon yodeling to the community at large that he may be secured to haul their ashes, clean their flues, or what not, relieving them of fire menaces, laundry bills and so forth; and incidentally to entertain everyone with his amusing appearance and quick witt. Lenny is no ordinary dirt chaser and did not always pursue his grimy and dusty occupation. Before the war Mr. Johnny visited the restaurant, eternally routing out tiny smudges and considering a speech of dust as the bane of his existence. Serving at the front with the Canadian expeditionary forces, he gradually forget his shining shirt front and the glittering tops of spotted tables. Moreover, on his discharge from the position which was once so familiar to him and was accordingly left without a job.
High Hat Johnny Lenny, Dirt Chaser Extraordinary, Appears On Campus to Sweep Chimneys
The hiking party which was to have been held by the W. A. A. Saturday was called off because of the muddy roads. It had been planned to leave on Sunday at 1:50 and take out to Broadway Inm where the party was to stay all night.
Experience soon taught him that there were few places for the ex-soldier and he did not find wandering very remunerative. Thus, pressed by necessity, he hit unconsciousness that this was a great unoccupied field which offered plenty of opportunity for originality. Johnny is just completing
a nine year tour of the country, making a specialty of fraternity flues.
His tall silk topper, with his occupation lettered around the front in white, and his last yodelling are Lenny's marks of distinction. He never knew what he was talking about, but he wends his way about the Hill explaining to the different houses just why their flues should be unencumbered with carbon and freed from
Nor does the chimney sweep go about his unusual duties as would a common laborer. He has a firm background of scientific knowledge and is well versed in the study of fire prevention.
Lemmy claims he is "Irish with a bit of Scotch" and probably derives from this origin his pair of sparkling eyes, his brow and his invaluable sense of humor.
The touted chimney sweep is not at all bashful nor troubled by any lack of volubility in making a prospective customer aware of his tonguetwisting attainments. In the midst of a long list of rapidly enunciated questions, he cleansed, he will break in with, "Every one looks up to me for I am always in the air." And should the customer warn him of his dizzy nausea, his stock reply is, "I don't mind the falling, it's the sudden stop."
Oklahoma Upsets Dope to Capture Mo. Valley Meet
Grady Wins 50-Yard Dash and Ties Record; Cash Ties for First in Pole Vault
(United Press)
Des Moines High School 12-2, depending upon a newcomer in the track business to bring them ten points, the University of Oklahoma barely won the Missouri valley indoor track meet at the Drake University field house here tonight with 27.1 two points. Nebraska and Iowa State, doped to one spot, were on scout and third with 20.1 six and 20 points respectively.
Grady Beats Farley
Raymond Dumen, Indian had who had just become eligible for the Sooner track squad, won both the high school and college valley record for the 58-yard low hurdle race at 6 seconds, and he and Captain Ray Conger of Iowa State, who won the half mile race, were also in the mile relay, were the stars of the meet.
Captain Bobby Beeney choreographed.
Captain Nebraska beat the indoor jump mark, equalling the outfit record of 23 feet, 6 inches. His record leap was made in the morning presliminaries. The former record was made by anester of Missouri at 22 feet, 7-14 inches.
Lud Grady, Kansas sprint star,
upset all the dope by defeating Faye-
lore of Missouri in the 50-yard dash.
The flying Kansan showed his heels
to the Tiger runner and crossed the
tape, winning by only a short
distance. His time of 5 4-5 seconds tied
the Missouri valley record.
Frazier Wins Two-Mile
Gradually best suffering from an injured knee and he was thought that he would not be able to show much speed in the meet. Starting in the preliminaries, he showed excellent form and ran the disaster in fast pace.
"Poez" Frazier, as was expected, won the two mile run, but failed to shatter the valley record. The fact that he ran the race in neen seconds under the valley record in the reckent K, C, A, C. met led droopers to believe that he would hang up a new mark in the meet tonight.
Cash tries to see the biggest upset of the meet was the failure of Nebraska or Lancaster to Missouri to win peepal balls. Five men tried for first place at 11 feet 6 inches and among them was Cash, Kansas entrant. Dope pointed to a big battle between the two leaders, but they were off form and failed to go their usual height.
Captain Doornosalr did not come through in the hurdles as he was expected to do, and only managed to get third in the 50-yard high hurdles. The Jayhawker had been deped in win both events, but found the going too
