State Fire Marshal Campaigns for More Caution
Now is the time to look to your flues, declares Elmer E. S., state fire marshal, who is inaugurating an extensive campaign for fire prevention. Mr. Scott calls attention to the need for better Kansas last year as the result of over-heated flues, chimneys, stacks and cupolas.
Thet resultant loss was $48,081, enough to buy thirty average section sections of land; build 100 nice bungalows; establish a half hundred average businesses, or keep the wolf of want away for the year, from 1,000 Kansas homes. invested in 1,000 Kansas homes that would bring annual interest amounting to nearly $25,000, at a 5 per cent rate.
Most of these flue fires are the result of carlessness. The fire marshal urges every owner of a building where flues or chimneys are used as vents for stoves or furnaces. It advises owners to condition before the winter berries. It doesn't require an expert to determine whether a flue or chimney is safe. However, if you are in doubt, call upon your fire chief, some member of the department. A one of them mentioned will be glad to give you free advice. Mr. Scott observes.

Kehr Appointment Produces Limited Siege in Germany
Country Faces Danger of Civil War; Reich and Bavaria Prepare for Action
Munich, Sept. 27—EK-Premier Gustave Von Kehler has been appointed commissary of Bavaria, which is regarded as practically a dictator. Von Kehler has the full support of the organizations of the Bavarian Fancii.
Appointment of Von Kehr is regarded as the beginning of a Fascii regime in Bavaria.
Berlin, Sept. 27.—Germany is under a limited state of siege today under proclamation issued by President Ebert early this morning.
May Deal Severely with Bavaria
May Deal Severely with Bavaria
The proclamation followed news from Bavaria that Gustav Von Kehr had been named dictator, and had declared limited marital law in that state. There was every indication that the Bavarian government should be allowed to deal severely with any attempt at Bavarian opposition to its action yesterday, in the proclamation to end resistance in the Ruhr.
The defense minister, under President Ebert's proclamation, is given wide executive powers, becoming virtually dictator of the German Reich. Constitutional guarantees are partly suspended. The proclamation命令 partially suspended the governing freedom of speech and the press and freedom of assembly.
The nation appears to face danger of early civil war, as both Bavaria and the Reich have mortified their 'orces and prepared for action.
The words "martial law" were avoided in both Ebert's and the Bavarian proclamations, which utilized the German term, "state of exception," but to all practical intents and purposes limited military rule is in
The Berlin cabinet, learning of Bavaria's high-handed action in making Von Kehr a virtual dictator, assembled hastily at midnight and quickly decided on the proclamation of the state of exception.
Scientists to Test Tires
Attempt to Discover Wearing Quality of Rubber
(In Science Service)
Washington, DC - The series of exhaustive tests on the wearing quality of automobile tires made of reclaimed rubber is about to be begun by the Bureau of Standards for the purpose of discovering what proportion, if any, of reclaimed rubber may be used in the wearing quality of the tire.
Fifty motor traxxes, tires made to order by manufacturers have been received at the bureau and will be made in four equal sets, each made in four equal sets, each of which will have equal wear. The proportion of reclaimed rubber to the total amount of rubber used is respectively zero, 16, 18, and 25 per
WHO IS GETTING YOURS?
- Forty of these tires are to be fitted to postfixter tires and their wearing qualities observed in road service. The other ten will be tested on the apparatus now in use at the bureau for that purpose and on new apparatus designed to approximate road conditions even more closely.
A "kick" was received at the Kuman office yesterday from a subscriber who said he had been missed two nights in succession. As it happened, the carrier boy's father had accompanied him part way to work and when he arrived, he had seen the paper delivered at the house in question both times.
Who got that subscriber's papers? The Daily Kansan doesn't know. It knows that most of the kicks on delivery grow out of the fact that where several students live in one house it is easy for a paper to go astray.
If any one who reads this is a borrower, why not

Dr. Moore Probably Safe
Grand Canyon Exploring Party Escapes Disaster
News dispatches this morning state that it is the opinion of a veteran Colorado river boatman that the U. S. Geological Survey party of which Dr. R. C. Moore is a member, has not suffered destruction.
This opinion follows a report from New York of an interview with F. S. Dellehaugh, a survivor of the first expedition to safely make a landing in Antarctica. Dellehaugh said that while the members of the party might be suffering hardship and distress, they are probably safe. They have a man in charge of their boats who was also on the expedition of the Powell expedition in 1871.
The exploration part is due within a few days to stop at the Havasu trail to receive food and supplies from the Sunai Indians.
The party is well equipped with life preservers and there is thought to be comparatively little danger for the party. Even should the boats be lost or destroyed, the men may make their trip up from the river and try to cross over the canyon to operation overland. This party is free from the fear of being scaled by the Indians, which tended to keep the first exploration parties to the river
Need More Cellos, Basses and Trumpets—Kurtz

Rhodes Scholars Have an Unlimited Chance--Sandelius
Travel, Study, and Lectures Open to Oxford Men; Allowed Great Freedom
"Great opportunities are available in travel on the continent during the vacations which take up almost half the year. The 350 pounds, supplemented by the fifty pounds advised by the Rhodes trustees, is sufficient for a reasonable amount of travel and school expenses.
"Opportunity for a Liberal education is practically unlimited at Oxford," Walker Sandelius, a former Rhodes scholar, said in an interview today. "We would be much ahead if it were true that liberal education here offered such advantages in American life."
No Roll Call at Oxford
"As for study," Professor Sandeleius continued, "the Rhodes scholar is practically thrown upon his own resources. No roll call is made at lectures and no work is graded. Little study is done during the term while during vacations many students isolate themselves on small islands in the channel where they will not be disturbed in ten hours' daily study. Of course, one must complain up well in the final examinations which come at the end of the student's career.
"Lectures are optional. A student is assigned to a tutor who recommends books and fifteen or sixteen lectures, of which the student chooses six or seven. A weekly essay must be turned in to the tutor.
Rowing Is Major Sport
"Political and literary clubs, athletics, and all sorts of student activities take up a greater part of the time spent in college. Englishmen are very fond of all kinds of sports; football, running, football, cricket, and others. There is no organized student life although there is a great deal of it. The individual must seek out the traditions of Oxford and get the full benefit of long association with them. "The fact that life in the college is so poor is to be expected, the delius went on, "at is first a disadvantage to those who are accustomed to finding themselves in an organized student body. The students live in the college buildings, of which there are twenty-three for each class. Each man is given two rooms. There is a great deal of freedom, as meals may be taken anywhere and one is at liberty to go where he chooses.
Must Come In at 12
"The only requirements are that the students come in at 12 p.m., and eat dinner at least five times a week in the morning. It is the gathering place for the men and much time is spent there reading the newspapers or talking over after-dinner coffee."
In concluding, Professor Sandelius said, "A student may choose his own reading; he may go to lectures or courses and have a cultural sim in view. Oxford can give to the student whatever he will take out."
Army Medical School Moves to New Center
Washington, Sept. 27—The Army Medical School is today being moved from its down-town location in this city to new buildings located at the Red Hospital near the edge of the District of Columbia. This move is part of a comprehensive plan for the establishment of a new Army Medical Center at Walter Reed.
The Army Veterinary School, now located in Chicago, and the Army Nurses School are also to be transcontinued. It was expected that ultimately the headquarters of the Surgeon General of the Army and the Army Medical Museum, now located in different parts of Chicago, will become part of the center.
