Triangular Debate Results in Equal Break for Teams
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, APRIL 10, 1923
Affirmative Wins Ali Three Decision Question
The triangular ate between Kansas, Oklahoma, and Colorado neld last Friday night resulted in an even break between the three universities, according to an unofficial report received this morning by Prof. H. A. Shinn. The Kansas affirmative team won here by a two to one decision and the negative lost at Oklahoma, where the Colorado affirmative team won at Colorado by a two to one vote, giving each state equal rating.
The question for debate in each case was: Resolved, that the United States should immediately recognize the prosecution of Mr. Payne. The proposition was affirmed here by Howard Payne, e25, Freed Field, sp, and Paul Wunsch, e24. It was denied at Oklahoma by Flyworth E24, c24, Herman E24, c24, and C. Wilbur Harvey, e24.
Kansas Wins on Home Ground
The Kansas affirmative team and the Colorado negative team met here in Fraser chapel before a large audience. The Colorado speakers were Dean MacEachron, Iván David Hollis, and I Andrew Hollis. The judges were Dean MacEachron, of Washuir College, Dean Marham, of Baker University, and Professor Rossom of Kansas State Agricultural College.
Kansas Wins on Home Ground
The Kansas team contended that recognition should be given the Soviet because that form of government is one where the needs of the people, because it is stable and meets its international obligations, and because recognition is the best of the three possible plans for a state of force, in difference, or recognition.
They showed that force would lead to war, indifference to an alliance with Germany which would eventually result in war, and that recognition is therefore the wisest alternative. The failure of the negative to meet this argument was one of the reasons for the affirmative victory.
Recognition Only Alternative
The negative argued that the Soviet should not be recognized because its existence was contrary to operation would prove destructive to its existence, because it was not governed by the will of the people, and because it would not meet its inter-dependence.
The issues on which the teams clashed in rebuffal were the meeting of the Soviet's international obligations, its subservience to the will of Russia, and its inability of a German alliance if the government were not recognized.
To Arrest Fake Veterans
Postoffice and Justice Departments Investigate
Washington, April 16—Spurious war veterans' organization and publication, relying on the symphasis of the American public are to be driven out of existence by the combined forces of the department of justice and postoffice department, it was learned today.
Industrious investigations by the two departments in the last two months, with the aid of commercial and advertising organizations, have practically completed the chain of evidence necessary to prosecution. A quick clean-up campaign with many arrests is imminent.
Pi Epsilon Pi Elects Officers
Pi Epsilon Pi, national pep fraternity, has elected officers for the coming year. They are院长, President, Al Jennings, c22; secretary and treasurer, Fayez Lee Kirkpatrick, c24. A number of men are to be pledged at the next meeting and plans for organization will be ready to start programs next fall.
The postoffice department will issue a number of fraud orders, naming certain of the bodies as using the mails to defraud, while the department of justice will ask grand jury indictment of the promoters in localities where their officers are located.
Georgia Holland, A. B. '22, is visit ing at the Gamma Phi Beta house.
Cecile Burton Will Read Prize Poems at Banque
Cecile Burton, instructor of public speaking at the University, will read the four prize winning poems in the Star's poetry contest, at the annual dinner of the Kansas City Quil Club, at the Hotel Baltimore, April 30.
The poetry contest which the Kansas City Star has been conducting ended yesterday and the winners were announced in the Sunday issue of *Kansas City*. The poems are: "The Kansas City Spirit," "Kansas City, the City National," "Kansas City, the Gateway to the West," and "Kansas City." The judges chose the winning poems because of their poetic form, their subject matter, and that would best express the historic and civil development of Kansas City.
Red Cross Life Saving Examination Passed By Eleven K. U. Womer
Test Will be Given Again Soon New Classes in Life Saving to be Formed
Eleven women passed the Red Cross Life Saving examinations given last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday by Joseph S. Law, representative of the southwestern division of the red Cross Life Saving department. Captain Law was well pleased with the int rest taken in the work and expects to have seventy-five members from the University pass the examination. The room was filled to capacity for every "demonstration given by" Captain Law.
The girls who passed the examination are: Josephine Lantz, c24, Dorothy Barter, c24, Nester Moore, c23, Rebekah Leibengood, c24, Dorothy Lobengood, c25, Helen Kendry, c25 May Alice Walker, c26, Kendry Higgins, c24, Marie Jones, c25, Laule Robertson, c24, and Vera Waghee, c25, Marcia Haynes, c25, given in about four or five weeks according to Ruth Hower, assistant instructor in the department of physical education.
The breaks and the retrieving of objects were the hardest tests for the women to pass. According to Miss Hoover, the passing of the carries and disribing in water were easily and well done. The examination is being held on Tuesday. The class in life saving will be formed for the women besides the class held at 3:30 on Tuesday. The time of the class will be announced later. A class in life saving will be formed for the high school girls who will use the carriage. This summer a Junior Red Cross Life Saving group is to be organized.
The women who have passed the examination just given and those who pass the one to be given in a few weeks may need to see these classes and the regular swimming classes next year when more classes will be organized. The women who have passed the examination will continue working in order to pass the examinations, but as has been shown now will cause people to take more interest in the work in the future as they have seen that while the examination is hard it is possible someone can pass if a little time and work is spent on 'Ls', said Miss Hoover.
Officers and Chairman of Drama League Chosen
Election of officers was held Thursday night when the Lawrence Drama League met in Green hall. Those elected were Shrewin F, Kelly, president; Mrs J. O'Bryon, vice president; Chairman of department board; Chairmen of departments chosen: Mrs. A. J. Mix, play selecting; Herbert Tagart, stage managing; Mrs. S. F. Kelly, producing; Miss Margaret Lynn, membership; Archbold Oliver, finance; C. H. Gallegos, hooops; Helen Rhoda Hoopes, playwriting.

Americans Cannot Recognize Wealth, Says F. Vanderlip
Country in Period of Abun dant Prosperity With the Exception of Farmers
By Frank A. Vanderlip
New York, April 16—Americans grow so used to prosperity that they do not recognize it when they see it One is still asked if prosperity is honest; prosperity is hard With the experience of the workers we are in a period of abundant prosperity.
By Frank A. Vanderlin
Labor Fully Employed
Labor is fully employed, although not so fully that we may not still hope for some additional employment. Wages have advanced more than before and labor on the whole is effective.
The total volume of production bears a fair relation to the hours of labor and the capital employed. Our banking situation is thoroughly sound. Money is not easy, but because there is a proper spirit of conservation the banks are not using the federal reserve system for inflation. There is a sufficient supply of new capital so that enterprise is expanding.
European Progress Slow
It is true that Europe is making little if any progress in economic recovery. Nevertheless our foreign minister could not greatly increase it with our procurement labor supply and still continue to meet domestic demand.
I have felt for some time that we could have a large measure of prosperity in spite of the bad situation in Europe. If we keep our heads, we can improve prices, I believe we can continue the prosperous situation for a good while to come.

Koch of the University of Chicago's '16, have succeeded in making a dish that is a complete food. W. F. Faragher, Ph. D. '16, is doing oil research. H. W. Greider, M. S. '17, is working with magnesia products to produce a stronger rubber. L. E. Jackson, B. S. '16, has a fellowship, H. E. Dietrich is a senior
The industrial system was formulated in 1906 by Dr. Robert Kennedy Duncan, and placed in experimental operation at the University of Kanada, January, 1907. Since then many successful experiments have been made.
Insures Relays for $5000
The success of the games will depend very largely on the kind of weather that J. Pliusvus consents to give us, Coach Karl A. Schlademan said today. The large number of entries and the large crowd that is sure to pack stadiums are all set for the biggest track carnival ever held in Kansas.
D. Forrest C. Allen, director of
athletics, has taken out $8,000 insurance for the athletic association as
a result of his involvement against the variable April weather.
One-tenth of an inch of rain between 7 a.m. and noon will incur the pay-
charge.
The fare and a half that has been granted by the rairoadts to all persons attending the relays is expected to swell the number appreciably. All drivers are required to grant this reduction on the regular certificate plan, which will make it easier for more track man as well as more spectators to attend. Transportation by automobile will be used by most of the enthusiasts and teams involved.

Economist Will Speak On "Bureaucracy" in Student Convocation
Henry Higgs, Eminent Britisher Of University of London Visits K. U
Visits K. U.
Henry Higgs, LLB., F.S.S., eminent English economist of the University of London, will arrive in Lawrence tomorrow, and will speak Wednesday morning at an all-University conventure in Robinson gymnasium on "Burauceracy." Wednesday afternoon he will lecture on "Defects of Business" based upon his research to students of economics and others interested in the subject.
Mr. Higgs had to make an American lecture tour last fall, but his engagements were cancelled on account of the British elections. He was the representative of the British Association and won for himself at that time the respect and affection of all who met him. He has a most charming personality and was one of the most intimate friends of the Ambassador Chote from the United States during his term of office, according to Prof. A. J. Boynton.
Allied Meet Strikes Snag
Mr. Higgs is the author of "The Physiocrates" "The Financial System of the United Kingdom," "National Economy," and a number of other books dealing with economic subjects. He was educated at the University of Bristol, where he studied law, and was a senior student at Four Inns Court. From 1892 to 1906 he was secretary to the Royal economic society and was inspector of general finance for the Grand and grand officer of the Nile from 1912 to 1915.
Paris, April 16.—The inter-allied conference regarding cost of the Rhineland armies of occupation, which was attended by Elliot Wadsworth for the United States, struck a snag today and adjourned sine die.
Differences Arise Concerning Proposals by U. S.
Proposals submitted by Wadsworth on behalf of the American government differed so radically from those put forth by the allies at previous sessions that the French, Belgian, and British representatives asked time to consult their governments. The differences were over technicalities. The French foreign office official announced that the United States had been cabled to Washington for further instructions. It is reported disagreement arose on the subject of priority. The allied' original plan was not satisfactory to the U. S.
Former Kansas Student Receives Harvard Degree

Domestic Issues To be Main Topics In Harding's Tour
World Court and League of Nations Interest Politicians Only, Survey
Shows
Washington, April 16—President Harding will search the mind of the country so that he can talk to the people. He will do anything but things they are most interested in.
He is still of the opinion that domestic questions are agitating the great mass of the people more than his speeches. He is planning his speeches on that basis.
Harding's Opinion Correct
To be certain, however, the President will have laid before him the results of a comprehensive survey of population thoroughly. This is now being made and first indications are being made about the size-up of the situation is correct.
The furry over the world court and the League of Nations, appears to be confined mostly to politicians and party leaders who, unlike Mr. Harding, are already frankly endorsed in preparing for the 1924 campaign.
Mildest Interest in League From out in the country, word comes that popular interest in the debates over the court proposal within the Republican party and the new activities of the League of Nations advocates, have thus far aroused only the mildest interest.
Every day Mr. Harding receives additional evidence of the importance of the problem, the taxation question, prohibition enforcement, the future of the farmers, and kindred domestic issues.
Hold Architect's Jamboree
Egyptian Costumes and Rattles Add to Merriment
The Architectet's Jamboree began at 8:30 Friday evening when the faculty and student body of the painting and drawing classes on the Fine Art Activities arrived at Marvin Hall in a group. Whiskers, rattles, and other noise-producing objects, including a dishpan operated by Prof. John R. Frazer, announced the approach of the faculty and their presence during the evening.
The program started with a number of acts presented on an Egyptian appearing stage in the assembly room, which was decorated in blue and orange. "Famous Itchings," by Harold Peterson, projected by a spectroscope. R. W. Deaver of Wichita in "Rapid Calculation" put on some very clever clutches. "A Little Bit of Sahara" was a mind-reading act by Joseph Radotinsky. The announcer, Harold Peterson, wore a shirt and a poster—and a track suit.
Dancing followed the program until midnight, when fruit salad, nut bread sandwiches, and coffee were served to the hungry Egyptians. The crowd "listened in" on the radio and were initiated into the "Night Hawks."
May Queen to be Elected
"Any Senior May Cast Ballots, Says Joe Bloomer
"The May Queen for the annual spring festival will be elected Thursday, April 19," said Joe Bloomer, president of the senior class, today.
A new method for election which, it is hoped, will be one of the most efficient used, was decided upon at a recent meeting of the class officers. Any senior may make a nomination of a candidate not later than Wednesday noon. The name of the candidate may be handed to Joe Bloomer or Lester Cummings between the hours of 9.0 and 11.0, and 2 and 4 p.m.

Douglas County Chosen Because Of Suitable Climatic and Soil Conditions
Model Earth Road To be Constructed In Lawrence Vicinity
"Plans are well under way for the construction of a model earth road in the vicinity of Lawrence," w. W. C. MNeown, professor of highway engineering, this morning. The road is to be constructed by the J. D. Adams Company, of Indiamapils, and is going to grading machinery, in co-operation with Douglas county and the University of Kansas.
Douglas county was chosen as a site for the construction of a model campus because it seemed the most suitable place for the most remote soil and climatic conditions. The Baldwin road running south from Lawrence has been selected as a type of campus.
Six or seven miles of this road near Lawrence will be graded sometime in June by a grader which is an especially capable piece of road machinery, in that it cuts the ditch and puts in the back slope in the same operation. The J. D. Adams Company proposes to furnish the grading machinery and a man to operate it. The Holt Manufacturing Company provides a Hirn caterpillar tractor to supply oil, fuel, and a man and team to operate the patrol grader.
"K. U. is willing to co-operate because dirt roads are and will be for many years a serious problem for eastern Kansas," said Professor McCormick, who will look after the engineering side of the road. The department of civil engineering will superintend the staking out of the road preparatory to grading. Cross sections will be taken before and after grading and computations of the number of yards of earth removal for the cost per mile. The University will also give publicity to the test and publish data on it after its conclusion. Preliminary to the test invitations will be sent to all high-ranking officials of the state; to witness the operation of putting the road into condition.
Profits of K. U. Karnival Amount to Over $450
A stretch of road was constructed under a similar arrangement last year at the University of Illinois.
This year's K. U. Karnival took in approximately $750, nearly 200 more than that taken in last year, and the remaining $450 for Karnival, announced this morning "The expenses will not amount to much more than $300, so the remaining $400 will be divided equally between Y. M. C. A., N. Missle dunked.
Many favorable comments have been given to the managers of the Karnival for the affair this year. Miss Dunkle said that there has never before been shown as much co-operation between the different organizations and the committees in charge.
Inter-sorcery Basketball Finals
The Kappa and Gamma Pi Beta basketball teams will play for the inter-sorcery championship at 7:30 tonight in Robinson gymnasium.

Let's Finish the Job.
Departments Plan Unusual Displays On Engineers' Day
Freak and Practical Exhibits Will be Demonstrated by Rivals For Cup
The electrical and mechanical engineering department are making extensive preparations for Engineers' Day displays. Students in both departments are putting forth every effort to win the cup offered by the School of Engineering to the department having the best exhibit.
The electrical engineering display will be both educational and amusing, according to William Anderson, e23, who is in charge. The freak displays will include an exhibition of equipment used for a reversing motor arrangement which will change the direction of rotation at 60 intervals, and a machine producing 66,000 volts which will create a spark several feet in length. This same machine at an abnormal frequency will produce millions of volts.
Eggs Cooked without Heat
Those interested in the gentle art of cooking will be given an opportunity to see the electrical engineer feyg Eggs Cooking, which has an apparent source of heat. An are welding set will be operated by students. The public will also witness several perpetual motion machines which will be introduced for their approval for the first time.
The mechanical engineers will demonstrate the manufacturing of snow, the operation of steam valves on a ball engine to produce power to handle the load carried, and the driving of a Cortissine engine by a miniature cylinder, cylinder, and drives. A small engine is installed by which the operations inside the cylinder of an internal combustion engine may be seen.
Class Work on Exhibition
As a new addition to the field of mechanical engineering an instrument is being perfected by which an indicator card will show the operation of an electric generator. The Junior working car will also be exhibited. Other models working models of automobile engines, and small farm lighting and power machinery.
Class room work of both departments will be shown in the engineering building. In this display the technical and theoretical sides of the class will be shown by problems, drawings, and designs by various students.
French Play is Success Various Roles Well Presented By Romance Students
The Little theater was filled for "Le Distrait," the play given by the French students Saturday night. The typical of the seventeenth century.
The role of Leakendre was played by Brestner Morgan, who succeeded in bringing out the intrigue of Le Draitrait with the arder of the lover. John Aldin, in the role of Carlin, the confidential servant of Leardre, proved an excellent folt to his distracted master. Constance Ingalls, in the part of Isabella, the apparently dutiful and resourceful servant of Leardre, Jesse DeLongle, the maid, whose fertility of invention was equalled only by that of Carlin, both played their parts in a commendable manner. Le Chevalier, a frivolous marquis, was acted by John Henry. Vern Caird played the part of Clarice, who distracted

Supreme Court Approves Grain Future Regulation
Washington, April 16.—The supreme court of the United States today placed its stamp of approval on the second attempt of congress to regulate the grain exchanges of the country.
It declared constitutional the grain futures act passed by congress last fall which brings the principle grain exchanges of the country under government control and provides that farmers co-operative associations shall share in the exchange. About a year ago the court declared unconstitutional the first grain futures act passed by congress.
