Dr. Edith H. Swift Fails to Inform on Sex Problems
Dove Article Shows Nee of Such Discussion, Believes iHygiene Lecturer
Dr. Edith Hale Swift, of the American Social Hygiene Association, came to the Y. M. C. A. forum to give the men and women of the University fundamental knowledge of the problems of the sexes. Just what that fundamental knowledge is, she failed to find. The information received from conversations with members of both sexes who heard her speak.
"I am not an evangelist, a reformer,
"or an uplifter," she said. "I came in the spirit of helping you to think more openly and more deeply through the situation that faces all of us in the world.
Dove Is Criticized
"That such a thing as the article in The Dove should make its appearance shows the necessity for what we are doing. Laughing at the great injustice of life and making it humorous indicate that there is something wrong."
Sexes Face Life Together
It is cruel, she said, for the older generation to fail to inform the younger. The most vital discussions in written material are not permitted, she declared, yet most of her audience felt that she made no effort to discuss any subject she might form "vital." A group of this type cannot intender and temper for such a discussion in short a short time" was her defense.
Sexes Face Life together
"Doctor Swift said, 'and they should face it together.' What they should face and how they should do it she failed to make clear, however, 'This is going into the taboos. In the case of many motion pictures, the whole drama of life and society is presented, yet the audiences never take those matters seriously before breath waiting for the crisis to move."
FOUR PAGES
Many Hear Lecture
"What is needed is straight, clear thinking and something of the ideals of life," she concluded.
Doctor Swift spoke at the first of a series of 10 luncheon forums to be given at Myers hall under the auspices of the Y. M, C. A.
Between one hundred twenty-five and one hundred fifty persons were served at the luncheon today, according to the information provided by the secretary. It was necessary to get extra lunches ready at the last moment, he said, due to the fact that the season was coming.
The second of the forum series will be Feb. 16 with Bishop Harry Moore of Dallas, Texas, as the speaker.
Watchman Foils Pledges
Armed Man to Guard Museum Against Depredations
Two fraternity pledges were caught Wednesday night, attempting to climb the tower of Dyche museum in order to catch two pigions which were requested by active members of the organization. The men were released after their names and addresses had been secured.
According to H. *H*. Ball, superintendent of the buildings and grounds, several attempts have been made to gain entrance into Dyche's office for the purported purpose of some of his work. A regular night watchman, who is not armed, is maintained as a protector for the buildings, but because of the attempts to break into the museum, a special policeman or deputy is sometimes stationed at this building. He is asked and requested to "get his man."
"Some of these days, some people is going to be hurt seriously in his attempt to get the building built," said Mr. Bull. "People who are prowling about the buildings at night are there for no good purpose and we must have some form of protections."

Thomas A. Edison Answers Queries on Varied Topics
inventor Is 80 Years Old
Declares He Expects
to Retire Only
at Death
West Orange, N. J., Feb. 11- Thomas A. Edison, who has probably created more useful inventions than any other man, on his eighteenth birthday today asked that he be remembroned as the inventor of the phonograph.
Henry Ford, recently revealed as the world's richest man, values his money as he would a belt—for its uses. These two men, Ford 17 and Henry Ford, are in a group of newspaper men in the laboratory of Edison and joined in giving their thoughts to the public or businesses on economics to marriage and religion.
The interview with Edison was formal. Questions were submitted to him in writing and the answers were presented in a bullet form. The interview was presented with 150 questions.
While Edison was struggling with this mass of interrogation covering almost every imaginable subject, Ford talked with the reporters, sometimes for hours, even after other times becoming more serious as weightier questions were presented.
Edison believes that "the machine age" is advancing civilization but that it is not all powerful<sup>1</sup>, and science, technology, will never be able to create life.
Despite his 80 years, Edison has no thoughts of retiring but "will remain in the harness as long as I live." He died on April 17, 2014, he should marry and marry young.
He considers that bolshievism is a menace to the United States as well as all other countries but believes Soviet Russia to be sincere.
The mere word "God" has no particular significance to him but he does believe that there is a supreme intelligence that rules the earth.

Hell Week Is Real Peril to Pledges, Say City Officials
Fraternities Are Advised to Abolish Practice of Expeditions at Night
At a meeting held at the Chamber of Commerce last night, C. C. Stewart, city attorney; W. J. Cummings, sheriff of Douglas county; Will John, chief of police; and 33 representatives of social and professional fraternities discussed hell week and the dangers that arise from the observance. This meeting . . . . .
City Attorney C. C. Stewart addressed the group, giving a historical background of bell week and its recent occurrence. He said that it is the personal danger to the students engaged in the unnecessary prowling that they are trying to eliminate. Mr. Stewart also said that he had seen other persons' property after dark they are committing trespass. He also said that a citizen is legally within his rights to object at any trufficant at night in order to protect himself.
Severe Penalty for Trespass
Secretive. Mr. Marshaw have an example of the difference in degrees of penalty inflicted for the same crime committed in the daytime and at night. He said that the stealing of one egg was more severe than by a penitent sentence, while for stealing anything less than $20 worth of chickens in the daytime, the charge might be no more than petty larceny, depending on how the offense occurred.
Sheriff W. J. Cummings later spoke at considerable length on his various responsibilities and duties that arise from the country expeditions during hell week. He gave several specific instances where he had been called to help in the defense of someone who had mistaken for a chicken thief, but in reality was only counting the chickens in some farmer's chicken house. He told of the farmers' disapproval of these tactics and of their resolve to shoot first and ask question after question about their rights as given them in the laws of trespass.
Action May Be Taken Chief of Police Will Johns told of some of the unusual conditions that arise and that the city is getting out of patience with the article of 'student murders.
In closing, Mr. John emphasized the fact that it would be necessary for him to take denial action unless something is done by the students.
Chancellor Lindley has requested that all fraternities and other organizations desist from outside pranks and stunts during hell week and that all possible be done to obviate danger to the two inside and outside fraternities.
Hell Week Is Mismomer
**Hell Week is arsenomine.**
Hell week, as it is commonly called,
does not exist in several languages
nor in three days,
and still others limit it to activities
on the property of the fraternity.
The length of the trial is commonly misunderstood by persons not directly connected with the University.
resterday afternoon Chamberlite E. H. Lindley called a meeting of the house presidents to talk over some method of supervising hell week activities. The meeting was directed at the entire school board and the Delta Tau pledges in particular. The meeting was extended to the one held last night.
