TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1924 SELLING ARMS Entirely consistent with the present policy of the United States in regard to world peace is the arms embargo document signed late yesterday by President Coolidge on the advice of Secretary Hughes, which prevents the purchase of war munitions in this country by the Mexican revolutionary forces. And Adolfo de la Huerta, Mexican revolutionary agent in New Orleans, will return home disappointed—without three million rounds of rifle ammunition, five thousand riffles, ten machine guns and one million rounds of machine gun ammunition, symbolizing in its absence the further safety of thousands of lives. Why should the United States aid rebellion in a government which it has formally recognized, merely for the financial gain of wealthy munitions manufacturers? The population of Australia is estimated to be 5,688,092, not counting the socialists and kangaroos. COBB AND KANSAS "Am I my brother's keeper? You bet your sweet life i am!” is the cry of Kansas, according to Irwin S Cobb, who has recently directed the slings and arrows of his wit toward the sunflower state. The real thing that Mr. Coleb has to say about Kansas, after mentioning her poor hotels and "unromantic" horizontaltidecessities" is that she is the one state which has fearlessly framed drastic and original ylans of government. She's schoolmasterhier- yes, Cobb admits it—and a Meldesmoon Mattie and a Nineteenth Century In quitioner, but he says, feelingly "she has pried and probed and melded and eavesdropped with most wholesome effect upon the moral and material wealth of the commonwealth." Kansas is Kansas—individual and independent, as Mr. Cobble perceived. The ages no other state and can be shaken in her policies and convictions by on criticism or ridicule. She has been the nation's standing joke, perhaps, but to the Kansan, if he noticed it at all, this was just an instance of the nation's perverted sense of humor. Self-satisfied? Mr. Cobb thinks so, but, he admits that it is a state which has "shaped her people into an orderly, as godly, as uniformly prosperous, as well-content, as patriotic, and as generally educated a mass of citizenry as is to be found in" any state of the union." Following a short period of inactivity, the coal miners and operators are again at work negotiating, a new wage agreement. Styles in wage agreements seem to be even more fleet than those in women's fashions. FLOWER OF THE LAND The Boy Scouts of America are planning to celebrate the fourteenth anniversary of their organization next month. This national body, representing the finest of the youth of the land, has grown rapidly since its birth Business and professional men have elevated much time and energy to a proper direction of the activities of local, state and national camps. And to the boys, the Secours, is due great praise for the maintenance of the high standards set and unfailingly adhered to. The day has passed when Scout activities were considered militaristic and its members taught a reverence for the arts of war. The Squets themselves prove that they are being trained efficiently in the pursuits of peace and brotherliness. They are getting an education in love instead of fear. Estimates indicate that there are more than five million American boys who are eligible and anxious for this training. There is hardly a form of Americanization work offering greater possibilities than that of the Boy Scouts. In observing this anniversary, the organization can look backward upon its past achievements, and too, see in the future possibilities of bringing true Americanism to more boys, and thus produce manliness without war. Already with common interests, moved inter-communications, and closer similarity in educational systems, national idiosyncrasy becoming less pronounced, and the general good of the world is aimed for. A universal training in suggested activities should therefore not be impossible. It merely requires sufficient encouragement and propaganda. The Berlin metal workers are still striking but they don't seem to be hitting the nail on the head. BUSY! BUSY! BUSY! Is the pace of life really becoming swift; r, the world shifting more madly, or are students getting so used to the idea that they are "too easy" that such an excuse comes naturally in reply to a call for service? If the seemingly and scramble of existence, such as most students would have you believe they are living, is a means used by nature to determine the survival of the fittest, then the coming years will see students as whirling dervishes in effort to keep up the pace. But if nature is not to blame and such a situation is unnatural, then it is time for those students, who honestly have tackled too much, to bump up against a calm wall of same living. Probably the majority of students are "to busy" just because it seems to be the style. The psychology of the mob seems to be affecting them. One person feels he is over-worked, and the feeling becomes contagious. Of course, everyone is busy, but he should be glad that he isn't suffering from boredom—a worse aliment than too much work. There is nothing more truthful than the old saying: "The more you do, the more you can do." The powers are negotiating for recognition of Russia. We doubt it even the former czar can recognize the place now. "The maximum speed for seaplanes, 177 miles an hour, was made by Lieut. David Rittenhouse of the United States Navy." BEATING THE WORLD IN THE AIR Poor old father never does get his share of publicity. Everybody is talking about Mah Jong, but who ever heard of Mah Jong? "Of the forty-two classifications of airplane records established by the International Aeronautic Federation, thirty-three are credited to American pilots. These comprise maximum speeds for various distances, weight carrying to various altitudes, and weight carrying at maximum speeds. "For example, one of our navy flying hats, piloted by LecHT. E.H. Halland, carried 4,420 pounds of useful load to an altitude of 4,838 feet and continued in flight for fifty one minutes. America, according to Current History, has set the air pace. Lead and zinc production increased last year. The amount of brass per capita was about the same. Official Daily University Bulletin R. O. T. C.

ONLY 17 DAYS UNTIL FINALS AVOID THE CROWD ONLY 17 DAYS UNTIL FINALS CRAM EARLY AND "The Indiana Daily Student" of the University of Indiana, published a twenty-four page Christmas issue on Dec. 16. This was the largest issue for that paper during the career of its career. The papers for that day had to be distributed to the carriers by means of a motor truck. Don't forget, that it is now time to award the brass-plated lung machine, to the individual in your house, who has spun the longest, tallest, deepest and broadest yarns as to the manner in which he painted the old home home during the Christmas parole. No sir, we don't even have faith in Santa Claus any more. From early childhood we've been earnest believers in the historic truth that Newton discovered the law of gravity, after being beamed by an apple. Now, up pops a writer, and tells us that this intriguing little incipient has a fun tale. The naked truth, than a disillusionian, is that Newton once tried to explain his theory to his gardener, or bootleger, or somebody like that, and finding it impossible to make himself clear, the g. or b. being dumb, threw up the sponge and shouted, "Oh an apple hit me on the head, that's the result," something to that effect, and thus was the tale given birth for the edification of future generations. --for second semester; 2 blocks from campus. 1329 Ohio. tf WANT ADS The New Haven Carol Choir of Yale University gave two concerts before the Christmas holiday, these concerts are given every year in January and December.

Student strikes at the universities of Spain are very common. Last fall the students of one of the universities were on a strike for almost six weeks. They disapproved of the war that Spain was carrying on in Africa and struck rather than be billed in Africa, where many of their students had died. The Spanish student is keenly interested in politics. FOR RENT - 3 or 4 room apartment. Splendidly furnished, private bath fine location; rent reduced. 915 Ohio. J13 WILL DO typing at all times.
