Thoughtful Man Proves to Be Our Chancellor
A secan bearing a Colorado license was parked in front of the Chemistry building yesterday afternoon. In the car were three women and one man in a tire. The three people who were in the car were ostensibly waiting for someone to emerge from the intriguing study of formulae, were oblivious to the presence of the flat roof.
Bux students, preoccupied students, unoccupied students, and faculty members straggled by the automobile, falling either to notice the flat tire, or to notify the staff that they were become thinner. The line of students became thinner and almost died out, a tall, gray-haired gentleman who was walking toward the Administration building saw the condition of the tire, halted his vigorous pace, and politely informed the occupants of the car of their sad plight, gave them directions to a filling station, accepted their thanks, bowed, and continued on his way. The good Samaritan was E. H. Lilyau, a graduate assistant of the University of Kansas.
Among 17,000 Deaths Yearly in U. S. Homes
New York, Nov. 14 — Around 17,000 deaths and several millions of injuries occur every year in American homes. The number of injuries linked in industry and on the public highways are gradually being reduced by safety engineering and educational propaganda but domestic accidents have remained a problem as yet unresolved.
To repair this gap in protection to human life, Louis I. Dublin, statistician to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., has recommended to the National Safety Council that it appoint a committee to investigate faults that occur in homes so that a constructive program can be arranged on this basis.
More than a third of the deaths that happen in homes are those of children under 15 while over a fourth are of elderly people over 65, it is estimated.
Grades to Be Ready Soon
Mid-s semester grades will be ready at the College office shortly after Thanksgiving. All of the instructor's reports were handed to the office the week before, but some time is necessary for the proper classification of subjects.

Coolidge Begins Draft for Annual Message to Opening Congress
indications Show Brief Report and Few New Suggestions for Legislation
The administration's tax credit plan, announced 10 days ago by the White House, will be the high light of the message. He will recommend that taxpayers pay taxes as a credit on taxes due next March on incomes this year.
Washington, Nov. 15—With only three weeks before Congress assembles, President Coulidge today began a draft of his annual message to that body. From all indications, the president's annual report will be comparatively brief, containing very few important observations or suggestions for legislation.
Democratic demands for downward revision of all income rates will be met, but not without the caution to warn against any prominent reduction in the income rates, because the treasury is yet unaware of the amount of revenue the existing law imposes.
The president also is expected to touch on Muscle Shoals, the merchant marine, economy and property. Any reference to foreign affairs will be based on his Armistice day speech in Kansas City, in which he served notice that the United States would withdraw from the United States Senate reservations were accepted by all members if the tribunal.

Moore Will Lead National Research for Oil Deposits
Leave of Absence Granted Geology Head to Make Search Over All U.S.
Search for oil deposits not now being developed is to be undertaken for the geologic division of the National Research Council, Washington, D.C., by Dr. "aymond C. Moore, Kansas state geologist and head of the department of geology at the University, Memphis, Tenn., to leave of absence until next September, and goes to Washington Tuesday to undertake the work.
The survey, the exact scope of which has not been announced, will take Doctor Moore into most sections of the United States, especially into Oklahoma, Texas, the Rocky Mountain region, and the Pacific slope. The project has been approved by the American Petroleum Institute.
"A broad acquaintance with the geologic conditions in these various regions is required for this bit of research," said Chancellor E. H. Lindley, in announcing the approval of Doctor Moore's request for a leave of absence. "The selection of Doctor Moore should be necessary to must be pleasing to him, but is advantageous to the University to which he will return."
Doctor Moore came to the University of Kansas in 1016, following a period of teaching at Demon University and later as an Assistant Professor of University of Chicago. Since then he has been connected with the United States Geologic Survey, and has studied areas in Montana, North Dakota, and Arizona as a member of this survey.
In 1923 he was geologist on the rather adventurous expedition that the Geological Survey organized to descend the Colorado river by boat through the Grand Canyon. Doctor Moore's boat capsized in one of the dangerous rapids, but fortunately no lives were lost.
For several years Doctor Moore was consulting geologist and paleobiologist for large oil companies operating in Texas, Oklahoma and the Rocky Mountain region, and in this capacity, as State Geologist, he has been closely in touch with developments in petroleum geology.
From 1920 to 1925 he was editor of the Bulletin of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, and a member of the executive committee of that organization, which numbers about 1,500 petroleum geologists. He was president of several scientific reports and papers. His election as vice-president of the Paleontological Society of America has just been announced.
