Professors Geltch and Garrisor Please Audience
Concerto Program Given
The concerto program given last night by Prof. Waldemar Gellch, of the violin faculty, assisted by Prof. Dennis Doyle, was attended by a large crowd.
Professor Gelch's program consisted of three concertos. The G minor concerto by Bruch, German composer; the most prestigious concertos ever written for the violin. The other two compositions on last night's program were by Mozart, famous German composer; by Vieuxtemps, French composer.
A full program of concerto's is usually considered too heavy for an audience, but last night Professor Glech played with such sureness and accuracy that the audience was attested and responded with much aplause.
Professor Geltch's technique was masterful and the work of Professor Garrison at the piano, was finished and effective. The concertas required almost as much playing from the pianist as from the violinist. No violin was produced on the violin were left untouched as Professor Geltch played the third movement, "allegro marziale" in the Vieuxxtempes' concerto.

Since that time there has been very little increase in the number of accidental drownings in the United States, according to statistics gathered by the Red Cross. In 1913 the number of accidental drownings was reduced down to 5479; and in 1920 it was as low as 4977. But in 1921 it rose to 6489 persons.

The retardation in the annual death rate is greatly aided by the instructions in life-saving methods such as are taught by the Red Cross.

J. W. Gleed Speaks On State Control Of Public Utilities
K. U. Graduate and Former Instructor Says Railroad is Chief Public Utility
"I favor state control of rate regulations," said J. W. Gleed, general attorney of St. Louis for the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, in his talk on "State Regulations of Rates on Railroads and Public Utilities" in the students of Law, Economics, and more this morning in the Little Theatre.
Dr. Driegen received his A. B. from K. U. in 1879, and his A. M. in 1882, and his HL. D. from Columbi aUniversity later. He taught "Real Property" for ten years in the School of Law at the University and is a particular friend of ex-Chancellor William Cox. His instructor instruec of Latin and Greek in the old school of arts and was on the Board of Regrents.
Old Direct Competition is Gone
In his talk this morning Dr. Gleed discussed rate regulation and the field which it covers. He compared the conditions now with those of a hundred years ago. As an example of the problems the public utilities have to face he discuss the relation of the railroads of today and the relation between the voter and the railroad owner.
"The old time direct competition is gone," said Dr. Gluee in speaking of the railroads. "Most of the secret rate cutting is ended. And although there is still competition between the unions, are now the same. No other utility is as important in the structure of society as the railroad." he continued.
Will Give Series of Lectures
"The chief justice of state regulation of carriers of transportation, is important to the people," there are many conditions which act as automatic checks. Many of the most important railroad questions are too complex for the people to understory. There is most money of all regulated utilities.
Dr. Driege will give a series of lectures in the Little Theater. The next one is tomorrow at 10:30 and another Friday at 11:30, on the general subject of "State Regulation of Rates on Railroads and Public Utilities."
Fire at Kappa Sig House
Prompt Action by Bucket Brigade Holds Damage Down
Fire of unknown origin broke out in the Kappa Sigma house early this morning. The damage was confined to books, wearing apparel and the burning of two study tables in one of the rooms on the second story room. A fire response on the part of the Lawrence's department prevented the fire from spreading and causing great damage. One of the members of the fraternity reached the house at about 12:45 a.m. Shortly afterward he heard noises in the house, and picked up a gun proceeded to investigate, firefighters quickly opening the door of one of the rooms he noticed a blaze and dense smoke which filled the room. An alarm was immediately turned in to the fire department and the other members of the house were awakened. By this time the second floor rooms were empty, and in a short time the lights went out.
A bucket brigade was formed only to find that there was no water pressure. Water from a cistern pump was obtained and the fire was held in check until the fire department arrived. Upon the arrival of the department the fire was extinguished through the use of chemicals.

Elliot Porter Speaks
Says State Universities do Not Produce Atheism
That the state university of the country are productive of skepticism and atheism was denied by Elliot McDermott, professor of the Christian church and instructor in the School of Religion, in addressing the Topkea Presbytery of the Presbyterian churches yesterday at the Westport church in Kansas City, Kans.
"The mission volunteers in the state institutions are far better than those in denominational schools," said M. Porter. "At Lawrence the faculty of the University includes a surprising percentage of earnest church workers, many of whom are professors of the sciences. This is in direct contrast to the fallacy that science is not compatible with religion."
In the School of Religion there are about seventy students receiving regular University credit from the department, and of 577 students in Lawrence expressing preference in the Presbyterian church, seventy per cent are church members. The school is similar to that at the University of where there are 400 students in the school of Religion. University has been granted in this department for fifteen years. The example of Missouri in this field is one that Kansas can well profit by Mr. Porter said.
August E. Schanze, e33, has with drawn from school to accept a position with the cost engineering department of the Sinclair Oil Company Mr. Schanze will go immediately to Coffeville for two weeks instructions and will then go to Chicago where he will be stationed.
