England's Premier Is True Politician of Labor Forces
Ramsay MacDonald Battles With Courage of Scots; Never Searched for Fame
London, Jan. 24—What manner of man is James Ramsay MacDonald leader of the great British labor party, now premier of the British Parliament—who knows what after he was crowned crowns akeen and thrones toterting?
Then, too, MacDonald is a rest labor leader and at the same time never learned a trade and outside of labor politics would probably earn his living as a farmer or writer. Samuel Gompers, A. F. of L. leader, old as he is, could go out and earn a living rolling cigars—his old trade
MacDonald is a professional politician. Men in England make honest politics a profession. In the United States only men like Charlie Murphy, who earn $150,000 and proudly bear the title of "Professional Politician." They put themselves in the congressional directory as lawyers, farmers, doctors, etc., even if they make their entire living office holding and office hunting.
MacDonald is a poor man. He has known litter, grinding, personal poverty. He has never been far from it. He owns a small house in the impatient garden of his little farm up among the Scotch moors. He never went in for money making. Apparently it doesn't appeal to him. Anyhow, he never got it. He is a Scotshman with simple tastes and appetites. Strange to say, both a Scotshman and teetotaler, his daughter was "whatever he has."
business in the profession.
Minorities in a professional political labor leader can also discredit in the English labor movement. That's the different point of view.
Politics His Profession
(United Press)
On the platform MacDonald is a real orator. He plays on his audience as an artist does on a pipe organ. He can run the whole gaudit of human emotions. Off the platform he is as secretive as an oyster. A kind of shyness seems to be second nature. Another thing, as it appears, is that he is a good one—he knows that in man who says little has little to deny. It might be said that he is a kind of Scotch "Coolidge."

MacDowell Fraternity Holds Annual Founders' Day Banquet Wednesda
Talks Are Given by Members C. S. Skilton Is Principal Speaker
Jack Dickson, president of the MacDowell fraternity, 'fa 23', and Kenneth Alexander, fa'24, spoke on the part of art in the fraternity. Margaret Butcher, c'25, spoke on music in the MacDowell movement.
The annual MacDowell founders' day banquet was held at 6:15 Wednesday evening in Wiedemann's grill room. C, S. Skilton, professor of organ, and Mrs. Lorna Marie Rubb, president of the principal speakers at the banquet.
Speaker
The principal theme of all the addresses of the evening was the history of MacDowell and the ideals that he did so much to further. Mrs. Hockey, a native of the fraternity and highly responsible for the founding of the fraternity on the campus, told of the early history of the MacDowell fraternity in the University. Each speaker took part in a fraternity event, art, music and literature.

University Hospital Busw
Students Suffer Epidemic or Minor Illnesses
E. B. Stauffer
Seniors should notice the announcements of fellowships at other universities, which are placed on the bulletin board in East Ad.
The rumor that an epidemic of oumps was in progress is unwarranted, because it has been reported among the students it present. There are now eight patients in the University hospital, which makes room very scarce, but it does not prevent cases of care nearly all cases reported to them. It is hoped by the hospital directors that a new hospital or that a new case will be available in the near future.
Some students do not understand that if they are unable to go to the hospital they should telephone the hospital and a doctor will call at them for an appointment for a call during the day and two dollars for a night call. If the student calls a local doctor himself, the full charge will be made. It is the aim of the hospital authorities to treat cases of sickness in their earliest known signs, likely pre-vent serious sickness and absence from classes.
The University hospital has been very busy the last few days with an epidemic of minor illnesses. The majority of these cases are a form of intestinal disturbance, which if treated soon enough can be eliminated in a short period of hours, and is not a form of influenza as many have been inclined to believe. There has also been an increase in demands made on the dispensary department for treatment of colds, sore throats, and headaches. Doctor Smith, director of the hospital, said students should take advantage of the free vaccination offered for smallpox and typhoid fever.
The date rule will not be
suspended during quix week.

Jaggar Announces Discovery of Tides in Volcano Crater
Variation in Level of Liquid Lava Twice Each Day Is Demonstrated by Scientists
Washington, Jan. 23 — Announcement of the discovery of daily and monthly tides in l eava in the crater of Kilauea volcano in the Hawaiian Islands before the Washington Academy of Sciences by Dr. T. A. Jaggar, director of the U. S. Weather Bureau. The Observatory is located on Kilauea. Dr. Jaggar said the observatory was valuable in predicting future eruptions.
The liquid lava shows a twice-a-day fluctuation in level of from two to seven feet, a daily variation of three to five feet and a monthly shifting of the time of maximum and minimum level.
Hard Floor Shows Change
This would not be the case if the "tides" were due to weather conditions which change irregularly, but rather because they said, to control by the sun and moon.
The hard lava floor of the crater also showed a daily change in level of about one foot, but the times of maximum and minimum were nearly opposite those of the liquid lava, the high level occurring in the morning in the case of the liquid and after it had melted, the solid lava during a period of two months last summer when observations were taken.
Seasonal tilting of the ground on which the observatory stands was also reported, the tilting causing a plumb line shift of from 15 to 25 seconds of arc. Seasons in which this tilting was least showed the least amount of volcanic activity and a decline of the lava column in both Kiauans and Mama Loa. Since 1910 the lava column has monthly tilts and strong lava activity while the summers showed a corres ponding decline.
Dr. Jagrk said the daily tidal movement provides forecasting data from hour to hour, while the seasonal movement provides data that assist in forecasting from week to week. A few years of observations should be sufficient, he stated to determine the period of eruptivity of a volcanic region to place it on a quantitative basis.

Washburn and K. U. Glee Clubs to Give Concert
T. H. Post, director of the Washburn Glee Club, met Wednesday evening, Jan. 23, with Prof. Thomas Wickman, the director of the university Glee Club, for the purpose of discussing plans and making arrangements for a joint Glee club case. The date has not been defined. In particular, see chapter 13, at the auditorium in Topeka.
The idea is one that originated at Harvard and Yale, and has been the custom of the two schools to have a friendly get-together the night before their annual football game. Such a joint concert was given in Lawrence in 1911. The alumni associates invited to their alumni in and around Topека, which will no doubt greatly increase the attendance.
According to Professor Larremore the two clubs will sing two numbers together. The first will be given separately by the two clubs, each one singing about half of its regular choral program. Solo and组曲 are to be selected later.

At the same time the Foundation offers the opportunity to teach English to the United States for study.
Applications for most of these fellowships must reach the dean of the Graduate School before the first of March of this year. Anyone interested can consult Dean Stouffer about making application.
Casey Jones' Fate No Longer Common
(By Science Service)
In spite of the risks incident to their occupation, life insurance statistic shows that locomotive engineers live just as long as the average man. The death rate from accident has decreased very greatly in recent years, and the engineers have also shared in the general reduction in the death rates from infectious disease.
Between the ages of 31 and 55 there has been a decline in 'the engineers' death rate from 52 to 44 per cent. Fatal accidents in 1922 were at the rate of 167 per 100,000. So the expectation of life of a loco-motive engineer at the age of 28 is calculated as 41 years, as compared with the average man's expectation at the same age of 40 years. Aside from chances of accident, running a locomotive seems to be a healthful occupation.

Time of Exam Arranged
The time of these examinations is arranged by appointment between the department and the candidate. The only requirement in this examination must be completed at least two weeks before commencement.
Under a new rule effected recently, these students must pass a general examination, which may be oral or written, depending upon the choice of the major subject. If oral, the examination will take one hour, and if written, it will probably take three hours.
The number of degrees applied for in the Graduate School at the end of this semester is larger than last year. Dean Stouffer said this morning that he would not be surprised to see ten applications before the meeting of the faculty to grant degrees. On August 2, although a year ago at this time, although four degrees had been granted in December,
Students Take Language Tests
No students are applying for the degree of Ph. D. at the present time, although two will probably be candidates in May. They must have taken a general examination, together with a reading test in French and German, before they receive the final granting of their degree. General oral examination shortly before the granting of their degree.
The ruling that a candidate for the master's degree must take a general examination is almost universal among the better graduate schools of the country. The purpose is to determine whether he will join with his different courses together and retained general information of the whole field.
