King Dollar Has Been Dethroned in German Market
New Gold Mark Takes Place of American Currency Temperarily as Stable Money
Berlin (By mail to United Press)
King Dollar has been dethroned in Germany—at least temporarily.
The German people, always great believers in the German mark, now value their own money as high, and, in some cases, more highly than they used to. A bill will still resemble, at a premium.
sana. The so-called Black Bourse, where a coinym changed hands at values far different from those set by law, is the most powerful of all coins; power not only of dollars, but of the pounds, gulden, Swiss francs, Austrian crowns, and all the army of its so-called stable monies which retain their buying power while Geranium is sold to the dollar. How long this will last dependItalian how long the German government ally is able to keep its money from some Alaskans into the abyss again. This means that these countries may say for Genwechs, some say for years and some lawy forever.
Fall of the Mark
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. LAWRENCE. KANSAS. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1923
Seen it is here. A few weeks ago the bough was the most sought-after, bought and sold piece of merchandise in Germany. With an artificial mark rate instituted and the printing presses still grinding out trillions upon trillions daily, the value of foreign money continued to increase so quickly that a "colony" had reached 4,200,000,000 marks, traders on the Black Bourse were obtaining between 7 and 10 trillions. This was in Berlin. In Danzig and Cologne they obtained 35 trillions. Express passenger trains between Berlin and these points were loaded with cars and people who bought up the dollars and pounds and what not in Berlin at double the value set by the government and then sold them in Cologne at four times what they paid for them. Then they rushed back to Berlin and sold their marks—at the same time given more than the banks would pay. Naturally prices immediately adjusted themselves and far surpassed the Black Bourse rate.

The One Question
Now the trains to Danzig and CIPlugue are empty. The printing presses of have stopped. Unless one has a good butcher friend who still buys his meat in foreign markets, you can't spend money every day. That one is out of luck as far as getting anything more than the official rate for one's dollars.

When the Black cat operated every hotel, cafe and street corner was a bit of the general illegal stock exchange. Money changing was in the air. Everywhere one went the question was: "What did you get?"

"The purpose is to give all-acard, expert diagnostic service and advice in problem cases," said Doctor Sherbon. "Types of children particularly in need of such service are the infants, preemies, and older grades, those presenting problems in behavior, either those difficult to govern, those showing abnormal fear or violent temper, that who persistently lie or steal or destroy, those who are mischievous, those showing speech defects, and those who are physically defective.
"Since the Bureau can take only a limited number, and since some of the examinations have to be made at Rosdale, it is necessary that definite arrangements be made by the justice before bringing the children."
The staff includes: Family history, department of sociology; mental examination, department of psychology and school of education; physical examination, department of physical education; medical and psychiatric examination, school of medicine.
"Applications began to come in as soon as the paners containing the announcements of the Child Welfare Bureau were off the press," said Doctor Sherbon this morning. "We disposed of our first case Friday."
Perching Jayhawk Made
D'Ambra's Bird Can Balance by Educated Beak
A new Jayhawk will soon spread wings on the campus. Sergeant D'Ambra of the military department has applied for a copyright on his book, which he signed during the Christmas recess. The bird is made of heavy cardboard colored in the school colors. It is a Jayhawk in flight, with wings outspread. The bird is so balanced that when its beak is rested on the floor, it can object to itself horizontally in the air. Hones the name.
As soon as a copyright is granted, manufacture of the bird will probably be started. The model of the "Perching Jayhawk" is made of paper but Sergent D'Abmba said that the birds may be made of aluminum or plastic and mounted on metal. A model of the Jayhawk will be displayed in a down town window to allow the students to see it.

"Edward Kurtz, violinist, skillfully layed a difficult program and one bat was decidedly individual in a wily recital Saturday afternoon.
"In the difficult and beautiful Viextemps Second Concerto and in the Beethoven Romance, especially, he displayed sympathy. His playing of the Skilton Sloux Flute Serenade deserves particular mention for the skill with which he imitated the round, full tone of the wind instrument, producing with the opening notes the effect which he maintained until the end.
"His own composition, 'Colonial Minuet' won instant favor with the audience and was played brilliantly and artistically. He was forced to play a guitar. It was his applause. He played two encores and was recalled after each group."

Secretary Resigns After Twenty-one Years of Service
Appointment of Miss Moodie as Curator of Thayer Art Collection Formally Announced
Resignation Deeply Regretted
Miss Moodie took up her duties in 1902, the year Dr. Frank Stickney became chancellor, and served throughout his administration and continued with Chancellor Lindley, who was responsible for civil problems and gained an intimate knowledge of the details of the University administration.
Rieignation of Miss Minnie S. Moodle, for twenty-one years secretary to the Chancellor of the University, and her appointment as curator of the museum was announced today by Chancellor Lindley. Miss Moodle will be absent on leave until Spooner library is made ready for the Thayer collection, and she will return to work.
Resignation Deeply Regretted
"The resignation of Miss Moodie is deeply regretted," said the Chancellor, "for she was highly efficient in her work. A vast amount of detailed information was commanded, and she was able, by her handling of details, to clear the decks for the larger affairs of administration. Her counsel at all times was most valuable.
"The University is fortunate, however in being able to keep her as curator of the Thayer collection, and not only from Spooner to the new library, and Spooner has been made ready for the pictures, rugs, and art objects that comprise the collection, M Missood a graduate employment in its best display."
Collection Resources Much Work.
For several years Doctor Strong,
Miss Moodie, and Mrs. Thayer have been working together in keeping together the collection, until suitable housing could be provided. Last summer they visited Washington and New York to museums there and gaining suggestions for the best display of the Thayer collection here.
Miss Moodie wished to resign last September at the death of a brother's wife, leaving a small son, but she was persuaded to remain until the office had been moved into the new building. The Board of Administration, at a recent meeting, accepted her resignation as of Feb. 1, and made the appointment as curator to begin that date, with leave of absence until the art museum is ready. Before coming to the University, Miss Moodie had been enrolled in the law office of Ware, Ware & Geed in Topeka.
"Miss Moodie probably knew more about the University than any other person," said Doctor Strong this morning. "As chancellor's secretary she was extremely capable, loyal, and thorough."
Blackmar Discusses Court
Sociology Professor Addresses Society at Washington
"The Kansas Court of Industrial Relations; an attempt to Define the Project in Sociological Terms" was the title of the address given by Prof. P. W. Blackmar at the meeting of the International Society, Washington, D. C. Dec. 28.
The legal aspects of the court were discussed along with the sociological phase and the welfare side of the question. "The principal sociological phase is found in the well anew-edged practice that the state max-imum law regulates the use of civil or of criminal nature," said Professor Blackmar.
He went on to say that the same jurisdiction might be extended over other organized groups to good advantage.
The conference was attended largely by American sociologists, notably those from East, Northeast, and Southeast in portions, according to professors. We will be working with the Hampden Institute in Hampden, Virginia.
Professor Blackmar spoke at this school which was founded after the Civil war by General Armstrong for negro race training. "It is the source of modern industrial and vocational education," he said, with movements such as the Booker T. Washington movement originated there," he said.
