Moore Will Arrive From Geological Trip This Evening
Primary Purpose of Survey to Seek Dam Sites by Which to Control Floods
A.
Dr. R. C. Moore arrived at N. Siles,
Cal. Saturday. He started immediately
for Lawrence, and is ex aide on
the 7:55 Santa Fe this
evening.
It was rumored that the party was lost, due to the fact that a boat was found 268 miles down the canyon. According to a letter from Doctor James Dixon, just as the party was breaking camp. This is the first time since 1859-78 that a geological party has made the trip down the almost bare river, taking an艘 of the Col-rata river, and one of the few troops in history.
Colonel Birdseye Led Party Under the leadership of Colonel Birdseye, director of the topographic division of the Geological Survey, and Doctor Moore, state geologist head of the department of geology of the University of Kansas, the party left Lee's Ferry, Ariz, Aug. 1. The trip was extremely dangerous due to bad lava rapids and falls.
The primary purpose of the survey was to seek sites for dams by which the government hopes to control the flood waters of the Colorado, in the Rockies. They also expectingly looking for a place wiser, by using vast charges of dynamite on both sides of the canon, they would be able to throw the walls of the canon together, forming a gigantic dam, the success of the project be determined by one charge Sites for the development of power are also being looked for.
Found Uncharted Canyons
The party consisted of ten persons. Colonel Birdseye to be in charge, with Doctor Moore as geologist, assisted by two members of the federal beehive company, to cook. Frequent stops if possible on account of the rapid current were to be made in order to study topographical and geological formati- According to letters from Doctor Moore, uncharted cayons have been found.
Condition of Attempted Suicide Reported Improved
Identify Girl in Hospital
NUMBER 31
From Lee's ferry to Needles, Cal., the river has a fall of 2,600 feet. Doctor Moore said. The general forecast is that conditions described by the Powell expedition of 1889-72, but many details are lacking. It was to supply the necessary information to make a correct cartoon that the present wife was made.
The girl who attempted suicide by drinking poison in a down town cafe Saturday has been identified as Miss Katrina. The girl was Kansas City, Kan. At the Lawrence Memorial Hospital her condition is reported as considerably improved, although she is still drowsy from the affection of chloride of mercury which she drank.
It was through a card given her by William McMullen, a Kansas City detective, that the identification was made. Then Davis reported to McMullen that she had been drungey 'by a man whose name she did not know. At that time McMullen gave her his card so that he could hear her the heard anything of her assailant.
Friday night Miss Davis had a quarrel with Roy Priest of Kansas City, Kan. At that time her step-brother, J. G. Collins, called the police and asked them to find her as he feared she was contemptinating suicide. She arrived at the mother of the girl, arrived at the hospital here Sunday evening.
Expect to Serve 1,000 Meals
Expect to serve 100 meals.
The University Commons includes Dua and their sons Saturday. Plans are being made to serve 500 plates at the noon hour Saturday, and probably more than that number for dinner after the game. These meals will be served in the gymnasium, and the regular meals will be served in the Commons.
Barney Google, Happy Hooligan and Their Comic Page Cousins Built According to Same Plan
The interesting little figures that can be seen envolve over the pages of the comic supplements are not, as one naturally supposed, located on one end and finished at the other in a haphazard manner, but it is through a systematic method that these little and ink creatures are "built"
The building of the human cartoon figure might be compared to the construction of an effigy of the human figure. In this case, the primary raw materials, namely, a frame-work on which to begin. In fact, the most popular method with cartoonists today in the building o their figures is the so-called *skeleton method*. The shape of these figures in a few words would be as follows:
First, a head is drawn that looks in structure much like the human skull. To this is added the stem, or that line which would be compared to the backbone of the human. From the base of this, a short horizontal line is sketched, from the ends of which lines are dropped that correspond to the upper limbs. To these are added lines which correspond to the lower limbs, the juncture of the two legs being the knee-cap. The arms are formed in a like manner from a horizontal arm, corresponding to the shoulders. From this skeleton, the body is filled out as desired.
Banquet Reservations for Annual Dad's Day Must Be in Wednesday
Committee Attempting to Get William Allen White as Sneaker
"All reservations for tickets to the annual Daddy's day banquet to be given in Robinson gymnasium Saturday evening must be in my office by 5 p. m. Wednesday," said John R. deyen, dear of men, this morning.
The committee is endesvoring to get William Allen Allen, who was the principal speaker at the banquet last year, to be present again this year. But if such is not possible other arrangements will be made.
A host of "dads" is expected on the campus Saturday to attend the Kansas-Agrie game in the afternoon and the banquet in the evening. According to present plans they will be attending the banquet to the dads, mothers also may attend, although the day is primarily for dads. Townpeople and faculty members who have no sons in the University may attend the banquet by adopting temporarily a member of either the Kansas or Agrie football team or football men on each team will be unable to have their fathers present.
F five names of dads in the faculty having children attending the University in addition to those already with them. E F. E. Glen, with a son William in the School of Medicine, and two girls, Arnes and Mary, in the College, now holds joint title of champion dad of the department of geology
Prif. C. M. Sterling, of the School of Pharmacy, has two sons in the College. Prof. C. M. Sterling's son Robert is a sophomore in the College, Edward Spencer, son of Prof. D. H. Spencer of the department of pharmacy is a sophomore in the School of Pharmacy. Opal Lynn, a daughter of W. E. Lynn, custodian of the physics building, is a senior in the College.
Walton Hears Indictment
Vote on Twenty-two Charges Expected Later
Oklahoma City, Oct. 22—Gov. J. C. Walton is accused of "willful neglect of duty, incompetence, corruption in office, and offences involving moral turpitude" in an impeachment indictment read in the lower house of the Oklahoma legislature today.
(United Press)
The indictment, presented by W. E. Disney, chairman of a committee which has been investigating the state administration, climaxes the long battle between the governor and his opponents, with the Ku Klux Klan as one of the main issues put to the front by the executive.
Twenty-two charges were enumerated in the report.
A vgte on the charges was expected in the lower house late today.
Read "OVER THE COFFEE CUPS" in today's editorials.
The other method in common use, the "oval method," is closely related to the skeleton method, except that in place of the body skeleton there is a large oval on which is placed a smaller oval, the head.
It is only through using such a system that "proportion" in the finished drawing is accomplished. Still more important than proportion, however, is "action," without which a cartoon is lifeless. It is only through practice that the "would-be" cartoonist is able to bring the coveted "action" into his sketches. Without a system, proportion and action in the same cartoon would be impossible.
Separatist Leaders Prepared to Smash British Resistance
Chineland Republic Anxious to Avoid Wars, Declares Lee Dekkers
Aix La Chapelle, Oct. 22. —We want to find an independent free state, completely separate from Berlin," Leo Deckers, who with Doctor Guthardt led the separatist uprising Sunday and proclaimed the Rhineland republic, declared at the headquarters of the new movement to
(United Press)
"We are anxious that the Rhine land republic be under a law similar to that of Belgium, thus avoiding wars.
Harrison, O'Bryan, and Kepler,
though somewhat shaken up, are
quite well and in passable fine spirits
after their "loop the loop" experience

its once joyous self.
Deckers explained that while Smeets Dorten and Dr. Matthews had not intervened in launching the move, they decided to collaborate with them."
"We expect some difficulty, especially in the British zone, because of the partial attitude of the authorities in charge of the occupation, but 15,000,000 inhabitants of the Rhineland will smash any resistance."
"We will carry out our reparations obligations and the stipulations of the Versailles treaty in promotion of Rewilding of Rural Himalayan cities." Deckers said.
"But we hope the allies will be easy with us in exchange for the positive security they now enjoy."
Disgusted With Life, Ford Destrovs Selt
Bad spark plugs, falling lung power, and a general run down condition brought on by its advanced years, is the autopsy advanced by a service station coroner, for the unfortunate lacerating to almost f. s. Paul Harrison on the Fort-to-Fort highway early this morning.
The late Ford, accord to Jimmy O'Bryan, c24, and Keypainer, fa24, passengers in the lamented coupe alongside Harrison, was traveling at a reasonable rate of speed along the hard surfaced road, about five miles out of Kansas City when the suicide bomber blew up the "fills," the Ford, which, according to Harrison, has always had a will of its own, taking advantage of a deep rift, threw its radius rods out of joint, cavorted to the right, turned two complete "somersaults" and threw itself despondently against a telephone post. According to the passenger, no hint was given as to why he took this slight choking sound in the feeble creature's heavily cylindrical.

"Twist that Tiger's Tail"
Sleepy Freshmen in Negligee Originated Famous Tradition of Annual Night Shirt Parade
"When was the first night-shirt coords," is a question that has arisen in the minds of many persons. The question can not be answered, for there was no first night-shirt parade.
In the early history of football at K. U., the Baker game was the first one on the season's schedule, and it was the custom to have a big celebration after the winning of that game. At first this celebration was students going down to Chancellor Snow's house and washing him with their echoing Rock Chalks and requiring him to make a speech. In a few years these rallies were held after every game which was won. This practice was continued for a number of years according to Irving Crumpler, the first man to wear the crimson and the blue on the Kansas gridron.
For some unknown reason these celebrations were discontinued about 1900. Four or five years later, after the death of the coach, students began having a big celebration after the winning of each Nebraska game. The first of those were held in Central park. A huge crowd gathered and cheered as the enthusiasts danced a "war."
Democrats of Kansas Launch Campaign Plan in Support of McAdoo
Political Leaders Predict Split in Party With Those Who
Favor Davis
Torek, Oct. 21—A Kansas campa pigh toline up the democrats of the state for W. G. McAdo for President has been outlined and will be started at once according to information here.
Col. S. B. Amidon, Democratic national committeeman, is leader in the movement, according to reports here The plans are reported to be to "swe up" the Kansas delegation for Me Adoo, despite the fact that adherent of Governor Davis are pushing a presidential boom for the governor.
Col. Amidon reported here that he had been successful in inducing J. C. Wilson, Democratic state chairman, to arrange for a meeting *m every condition* of the war which the Colonel will speak and urge the McAdoo candidates for President.
The first of the meetings will be held at Atchison, and arrangement will be made to try to bring in an aide from the first congressional district.
Political man here foresee a bitter fight in the Democratic ranks as a result of the Amidon movement, and then to the party leadership of Governor Davis.
To Hold Dramatic Tryouts
Dramatic Club Candidates Must Sign Application Cards
Troysets for the K.-U. Dramatic Club will be held next Thursday from 1:30 p.m. m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Little Theater in Green hall, according to the board of directors of the club. Opportunity of reading the parts in the troyet plays will be given to all candidates who sign application cards. This may be done by public speaking, and copies of the plays to be presented are obtainable there.
Five tryout plays will be presented before the dramatic club with the successful candidates in the roles. After this performance the members of the club will have an opportunity to vote on the performers. There are ten male characters in the five plays and parts for ten women.
Persons who desire to be admitted to the dramatic club in some specialized line in connection with the theater, should see Prof. Allen (a professor of acting) esteemed in makeup, scene design, scene painting, stage management, property work, lighting, and stage carpentry. Practical experience will be given to these members of the club, both in the Little Theater and in the big plays at the Bowersock Crafton. According to 'Professor

dance."
None of these celebrations or rallies was a night-shirt parade by any means, but it was about this line that several men appeared in night-shirts. It happened that these men were "hitty" no one else had seen, not only the city that they were freshmen and when the call came—well, there wasn't much time to change into street clothes. That, of course, is only a theory and cannot be proved. Each year more and more students appeared at the parade in their own way. These are published at the University.
Just when these rallies were changed from the Nebraska game to the first game of the season is something which no one needs to remember. Newpaper files even fail to document these activities at that time were rarely considered important enough to print.
What a contract between the present day celebration with its "thundering thousand" or even moo, and that necessarily small group which gathered about Chancellor Snow's home. Anyone who has been here long enough to have seen both, understands.
"Phog" Allen Praises Support Given Team in Game at Nebraska
Enthusiasm Aroused by Ku Ku Stunts and Mac's Band; Rooters Parade
Upon arrival in Lincoln the Jayhawk "horde," 300 strong, led by "Mac" and his band, Cheerleader "Ham," and the Ku Kus, paraded up the main street of Lincoln, arousing the staid old town with *with stirring gloves* as they thunder-slaps. Later the Kauans joined Nebraska in the parade and ceremony in formal dedication of the new stadium at Lincoln.
"The pep and enthusiasm of the Kansas rooters was largely responsible for the showing made by the football team Saturday at Lincoln," said "Pho" Allen, director of athletics, this morning. The game "game-battled big odds can do if it has the support of the student body."
During the half hour previous to the game, the Kansas roots, seated in a body on the west side of the stadium, watched the Nebraska lion, vied with the Nebraska crowd in noise-making. With the opening whistle they were on their feet, cheering the team on. In the crisis their urgings to "hold that line" came across. With the Nebraska crowd. With the failure of Nebraska to "put it across," the Kansans fairly "went mad," and their yells crashed through the stadium. The Ku Ku, in their new unified stance, with a bluer stunt between halves.
Saturday night the Kansans once more staged a parade down the streets of Lincoln, went in a body to a show, and started once more for their homeland, arriving early Sunday morning, to be greeted by the fortunate but just as enthusiastic "stay-at-homes."
Motor Caravan to K. U.
Aggie Business Men Volunteer
Cars for Students
"Two hundred and fifty cars to K. U. rain or shine." This slogan has been adopted by the Manhattan U.-U. Airplane game here next Saturday.
The Manhattan Chamber of Commerce is making a drive in which they hope to secure pledges for 250 or more cars to make the trip. Every business man in Manhattan has promised at least one car, and some have chosen that one as being equipped with seating arrangement and plans also are being made to transport a band to Lawrence.
The caravan, carrying 1,000 or more people, is to start from the Chamber of Commerce at 8 in the morning, going to Lawrence by way of St. Marys. It is planned to set up a library and arrange Special train service and to combine the two bodies for a parade through the city.
