Alexander Speaks Here
Labor Worker Tells of Child Problems
"There are more than one million children between the ages of 10 to 15 years who are now gainfully employed. This is a blot on our social life. These statistics were taken during a summer break and taken during vacation, the number would be much larger. About three thousand of these children are engaged in agricultural work." Miss Alexander continued to discuss the child labor problem, mentioning especially the miserable conditions existing in the beef industry in Kansas where children are employed. She emphasized especially the long hours and steady strain of the work. With her discussions she heard that some of the National Child Committee.
"Trained university women are usually the women who have the right point of view. In all kinds of social work the university girls who are getting their training will be the hope of the world in establishing the standards", said Alice K. Alexander, director of the industry, of the Kansas Industrial Court, when speaking to Dr. Sherbon's classes Friday.
"In considering the problems of child labor, stress should be laid upon the three big problems: the industrial problem, the educational problem, and the moral problem. These problems are impossible to separate." Miss Alexander continued to briefly sketch child labor conditions from the early period in England up to the present time. She discussed these problems and noted that still exist in the sweat shops.

Mexico and U.S. Delegates Consider Adjustment Plans
Parley Opened Which May Result in Recognition of Southern Republic
Mexico City, May 14—A conference which may result in recognition of Mexico by the United States has here today. All sessions to be began
At an early hour, the American delegates, Warren and Payne, and those of Mexico, Roa and Ross, were to meet at the former home ofueil Limentour, brother of a high official of the Diaz regime, and the parley was to be formally opened this evening.
The purpose of the conference, is to "open discussion directed to adjustment of differences arising from application of American laws" and to afford the personal intermediaries of U.S. diplomats in Mexico, opportunity, free from diplomatic restrictions and from the traditional trapping of formal intercourse "to agree freely and sincerely upon the relations of the two countries."
To Make Intercourse Easier
At the conclusion of the conference the delegates will make recommendations to their respective countries. The parley, it is estimated, is likely to last from three weeks to three months.
To Have Unofficial Observers
Pastor Burrar Osso Kee, like those of Palmieri, is to have its "unofficial observers." James Lord, for one, representing the Pan-American Federation of Labor, will watch out for the interests of that group from the sideline.
One of the chief questions under dispute will be Mexican laws governing her sub-suit rights prior to 1017. The law has been anticipated that the present law would change, and the United States, would be changed as part of the price of recognition, a high official on the eve of the conference that he "hoped that there would be no use of the petroleum law of the kind required to interfere with our rights."

"In the old days of '79 it wasn't a disgrace for a boy to be elected to Phi Beta Kappa," said J. W. Gleed, a graduate of the university view recently. "Neither was it considered deplorable for a student to be a grind. With fewer advantages but longer hours of study these early students were considered as much as do the modern students.
All Honor to Book Worms in Old Days
"A miscellaneous library of 10,000 books, placed where the students can browse just as I did, and find out in the only way they can what they like to read, would be the one thing I would like to see in all universities. I would love to see naturetured, whose only function would be to encourage the students to wear out the books, would be the only attendant," continued Mr. Gleed.
"I consider that a great part of my education was gained by browning among books. The library in '73 was a small room presided over by the students, and I was mured at the freedom with which the students removed the books from the shelves. But that restriction mattered little and we continued to browse among the books at our own homes, as is evident in Spooner today."
For a few hours last Thursday, there were no cases in the student hospital; however, three arrived that night. Several tonil operations were to be performed Saturday. No more measles have been reported in town except the two cases reported on May 1 and 3.

Though this conference was really the Mid-Western Conference of University women, the Association of University women, were guests from many western states as well, particularly from California. General discussion of Mill problems will follow these reports.
"It has always been the custom at these spring meetings of the upper class women for the seniors to frankly tell the junior们 what they want, and for them to do during their time here, and, if there were disappointments, to suggest remedies for future movements of like nature, should they continue to seem desirable," said Orpha Hard. "We've addressed W. S. G. A. this morning."
To Tell of New Plans
"From this advice," continued Miss Harding, "the juniors who will next year as seniors, be looked upon as the leaders of the school, have always been able to profit, and should continue in a larger degree to do so if this new plan of open meetings proves successful."
After the discussion a social hour will be held and refreshments served. Dean Blitz will talk to the women at the meeting.

The Douglas county board bonus will receive applications Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday of this week from 3 to 5 p.m. If this plan proves successful, the board may codring to the county clerk. It is believed that this arrangement will be more suitable to the students who wish to file their applications than to take applications in the morning only. The bonus board has been in action since last fall for few weeks, but it takes too much of the time of those participating.
The quota for this county was supposed to be 800, but since the filing of the applications has started there have been more than 850 applications filed. The County Clerk believes that this is due to the fact that many are alive at some time lived in Kansas, or were a father or mother living here, have taken a chance of receiving compensation in this state.
