UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19. 1923.
Retiring President Gives Address
Doctor E. K. N. Abahous, retiring president, gave an address on "Ongamen" pointing out the limitations and promise of the science. "Man can never know the possibilities in the subject," he said, "the scientist must take the time to seek and study the types."
Other members elected on the new executive council are J. T. Willard, Kansas State Agricultural College; W. A. Harabarburg, Westboren State Normal; W. A. Harabarburg, Kansas State Normal; and R. K. Nabora, Kansas State Agricultural College.
Chancellor E. H. Lindley and A. B. Carney, recently appointed member of the Board of Administration, made brief speeches at dinner the members and friends of the Académie des Sciences, given Feb. 16 at the Commons.
Chancellor Speaks on Research "Research in the past," said the Chancellor speaking on the great change in recent years in the attitude of the public toward the question, "has had to take the crumbs that have fallen from the colleges under my guidance." The search will have to be supported by the tax papers, and will be understood what research really means."
A. B. Carney, speaking on the persis-
tance of the scientist, cited a num-
ber of scientists who have spent their
time in perfecting their investigations.
"The governor of the state believe in Kansas and its institutions. This new board of administration, I am sure, will be made up of men who he should be undermined, but be broadened and perfected," he concluded.
Will Give Middy Dance
Soph Women to Commemorat Washington's Birthday
Favor dances, and unusual refreshments are to be features of the sophomore women's milddy dance to be given Tuesday evening at 6:45 on the first floor. The seating capacity can be secured at ten cents apiece from Jenette Strickler or Lela Duncan. The low price of tickets should be used by every sophomore woman to attend.
Middies are to worm all who come in keeping with the middy dance plan. Since it is near George Washington's birthday, the idea will be carried out at the middy dance last year will be particularly anxious to come to this one," said Emily Tremesnoy of the committee in charge. "With the addition of favor dances and other special events, we expect greater success than the previous one."
Mrs. A. B. Grime, who has been temporary house-mother at the Pi Ghi Phi house during the absence of Mrs. Hawley, will continue until the end of the school year. Mrs. Hawley, who was called to Topeka, due to her daughter's illness, will be unable to return.
The committee expressed the hope that every organized house for women students will urge all the sophomores to attend this gathering Sophomore women are better acquainted among themselves than hast will be with a good opportunity to get together and enaw acquaintances.
Quack Club will meet at 7:30 p. m.
Tuesday. All women interested in trying out should see Dorothy Barton, engagements for trying out at that time.
McKeever Home Burns;
Insurance Covers Loss
Fire starting in the west side of the house greatly damaged the home of William McKeever, University Heights, Sunday about 3:30 p. m.
Uckermer, University Heights, Sunday at 3:30 p. m. The origin of the fire has not been discovered. The entire west side of the building was blazing before it was noticed, amnesiacly, as the roof and the second story. The amount of damage has not been estimated, but according to a statement of Mr. McKeever, the insurance will probably cover the damage.
The alarm was turned in from the Sigma Alpha Epison house. A large amount of the furniture was broken and the department soon extinguished the flames, and the front part of the house was not injured. Due to the illness of William Reinich, fire chief, the department has not been investigated.
Research Committee Appropriates Fund For Testing Roads
Highway Materials to be Measured in Regard to Wear on Tires
The research committee of the University has appropriated a portion of the research fund to the department of civil engineering for the purpose of entering an investigation of the traffic road surfacing on motor vehicle tires. The Bureau of Public Roads at Washington, D. C., is also expected to share the expense of the investigation with the University. W. C. MeNown, professor of highway engineering, will be in charge of the work.
The relative merits of different types of material for rural roads may be measured by their first cost, cost of maintenance, and the effect which they have on the cost of conducting transportation. Thus it is of importance that shoes wear on tires is caused by earth, gravel, asphalt, concrete or brick.
Statistics compiled by the Rubber Association of America show that the total tire bill in the United States for the last six months of 1921 was $220,000,000. If by a choice of pavement this figure could be reduced by the saving to the public would amount to approximately $22,000,000.
Professor McNown has planned two classes of tests for use in the investigation. Within the next month he expects to have ready a piece of equipment that will allow wear of certain surfaces on tires. Then when the national funds are available, an actual service test will be put into operation by means of a machine or the two tests may be used to check each other and the results co-ordinated.

Populace of Ruhr Hums Song of Hate As Tension Grows
Foreign Correspondent Tell
of Trip Th
many; Ma
Cause of Woe
By Carl D. Groat,
Essen, Feb. 19. "The riding whip is the symbol of French culture in the Ruhr," reads a Socialist poster on a wall by an Eisenstreet. It expresses a well as anything else the bitterness, pent-up to the burring point, with which citizens of the Ruhr regard the invasion.
It is believed throughout the mely-occupied area that the French are trying to stir up trouble and provide an excuse for declaration of a sharper martial law. An automobile trip through an extensive section of the Ruhr during the show weeks that if this is the French purpose, they will probably humming a kyme of hate through gritted teeth, despite unimtoff efforts of labor leaders, government chiefs, and others, to maintain order.
The Socialist poster referred to above warns the populace to avoid provoking the French, adding that venting of passions will only "conjure up unmeasurable horror to our cause."
The French are extremely nervous They certainly are rough on individ- uals.
The French are Rough
I had an opportunity to see this at Gehlenrichen, which is overrun with soldiers, a "sharpened state of size" prevailing. Many companies of infantry and cavalry, supported by tanks, are encamped there. Besides the regular troops of occupation, reinforcements have been poured into the town, to enforce the collection of officers, fine which the authorities have sworn, not to pay voluntarily, but which the French eventually confiscated.
Upon my arrival at the outskirts of Gelsenkirchen, a French sentry about 100 yards ahead down the road gave the customary signal and my driver, a German from Essen, slowed down. Our car skidded on the ice roadway and did not hilt just where it came. The latter turned upon the latter cursed, cooked his riffle, and jabbed a long, thin bayonet threatening at the chaffeur.
An Efficient Sentry system
The driver was scared and a sedate British correspondent with us, in the back seat, who came within the line of fire designated by the sentry's rider was shocked beyond measure. Mummys body was summoned a corporal, who, after taking our papers, allowed us to proceed.
$A_{B}$ Efficient Sentry System
K. U. Scientists Chosen as Members of Sigma X
Similar treatment, except for the riffle-cooking incident, beffel the party seven times in the course of a week. The party was treated with particular scorn until the patrol learned our party consisted of Americans and British, whereupon they were all smiles, even allowing us to photograph pictures of a "treat on romp" reel.

American Students To Visit and Study In Italy this Summer
Group to Travel Country Under Auspices of Educational Societies
The group of students and instructors, who are being organized to travel in Italy next summer under the joinus apples of the Italy American Society and the Institute of International Education, will sail from New York on the S. S. "Saxonia," on June 30, 1923.
After landing at Cherbourg, they will traverse France and Switzerland, and enter Italy through the Italian Lake District. They will visit the great industrial plants near Genoa and Turin, and then will travel southward to Rome, Naples and its environs, the hill-towns of Perugia and Venice, Bologna, Ravenna, Veneza, The Hague, Amsterdam, Dolomites, the redeemed city of Trento, and Milan. They will return to this country on September 4th.
The faculty will include Dr. Angelo Lipari of the department of Romance languages at the University of Wisconsin, as lecturer on Modern Italy and as instructor in the Italian language, six years a resident in Rome and now professor at Grinnell College, as lecturer on Ancient Rome and classic art; Joseph Hopkinson Smith of the Friend's School, Brooklyn, as lecturer on Italian Medieval History, as professor of college and university faculties.
Wiggly-Nosed Rats Sneeze and Sniffle
An announcement states that the purpose of the undertaking is "to furnish an opportunity for American college and university students to study, under scholarly guidance and instruction, the monuments of Ancient Rome, the vast cultural and artistic bequests of Renaissance Italy, and the social, industrial and commercial life of the Italy of today."
"The *ft*” epidemic is spreading beyond the confines of the student district. It has attacked the white rats of the Museum. It has penetrated the barrier of formaldehyde and has caused suffering and worse in pink-eyed, wiggly-mossed captives. The unfortunate ones sneeze and sniff, and bundle in the corner for warmth, but to no avail; the dreaded germ pursues them still. They have been spared by other measures can be for aid. With sounds unintelligible to us they plead for success, but we unable to comprehend their message, can only stand and say, “too little fellers ‘em shiver,” too little sounded like the wheeze of a Ford trying to make Fourteenth street hill.”
Doctor Hielop, the new pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, will talk on "The Spiritual Life" before the W. Y. C. A. meeting to be held tomorrow at 4:30 at Myers hall. The W. Y. C.

Miss Elizabeth Lawson, National Secretary of the Program Committee of Universities, who was the principal speaker delayed at a conference at Winfield and will be unable to be here.
Emerson Norton High Point Man In K.C.A.C.Meet
Missouri Wins First; Nebraska Second; Kansas Third in K. C Track
Contest
Missouri first, Nebraska second and Kansas third; Emerson Norton of Kansas, high point man by hall a point, and the statistical portion of the K. C. A. C meet is finished.
From 6:00 until half an hour after lunch they scentily clap people ran and ran and children vaulted. Small men and large men, fat men and slim ones, tall and short, and young and not so young. Rangling in ages from thirteen to thirty, boys and young men kept the large oval and fifty-ward straight-always humming for over six hours, last invasion Hall if Kansas City, at its K. C. A. C indoor track meet.
McKoun Breaks Record
The past, present and future stars of the Missouri Valley were there, from the small ward school relay teams to the officials of the meet, all were truck enthusiasts. The former making records, and the latter watching the set years before go clattering down beneath the feet of the present stars.
The outstanding record-breaking performance of the evening was without a doubt the feat of Earl McKenon, of Emporia Normal, who unofficially broke the world's indoor pool vault at twelve feet ten inches, at twelve feet ten inches. McKenon won the pool vault at twelve feet six inches, and was trying for a record. The bar was set four inches higher; the first trial failed, but then time had he inches to spare as he twisted over clear of the handkerchief.
Practically every college and university in the Missouri Valley was entered in the bie meet; from Okafo on the south to Iowon on the north.
Honors are Divided
Individual stars or teams were not shining as brightly, maybe, as some of their supporters had planned. Honors were divided among Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, and Iowa University. The Kansas men, Norton, Poor, Graham, Fisher was good. Kansas placed second, third and fourth in the high! jump and pole vault, and third in the shot. The sixteen-pound shot was由 Banseuf, at 43 feet, competing for K. C. A. C. Nott's knee, but the shot was not strong enough to allow the big athlete to show his real worth.
The Iowa-Kansas relay started off good for Kansas, with Fisher taking a ten-yard lead and holding it to hand over to the second Kansas man, but as each new man took up the fight, Iowa kept putting a faster man on top of the field. He cut down a ten-yard headhand to cut down the last relay. The Iowa队 cut the Convention Hall K. C. A. mile relay record down another nitch.
Missouri produced another hurdle in Simpson, younger brother of the former world champion end Missori University star. Nebraska, always good in track, brought Mr. Noble, their little 203-pound fifty-yard dash man, who stepped three-second high on his heats in 5-2.5 seconds. Noble will be remembered as the all-Vaillay fall back from Nebraska of last fall.
Simpson Plays for Missouri
The K. U-M. U. alumni mile runs that was scheduled did not materialize, due perhaps to the fact that the meet was already too full of events

Visitors Give Specimens to Entomology Collection
The Pen and Brush Club, of the Harvard School of Architecture has invited the department of architecture to hold an annual fete charrette to be held Feb. 22.
An addition was made Saturday to the University entomological collection by Warren Knaus of McPherson and Prof. H. H. Ninigar of McPherson College. The most important collection in the pair is a pair of Eileen Parwana, a woman who lived near beetle, which was found at Mammoth, Ut. on the top of the Parwana mountains, 10,000 feet above sea level. Mr. Knaus, who is chief of the editor of *The Journal of Entomology*," and Professor Ningxia Chen of biology in McPherson College, are both noted country-wide for their entomology work. Two years ago they went to Utah, Wyoming, and Nevada on a collecting trip, the result of which led to a research study which the collection given the University was a small part.

Schwegler Speaks in K.C.
Says Child Training Should Begin Early
Dr. R. A. Schweger, professor in the School of Education, gave an address Friday afternoon at the rally day meeting of the parent-teacher associations of Kansas City, Kan. His subject was the educational development of the child. The largest number of members of the organization ever assembled in Kansas City, Kan., listened to the address.
"The ideal education for the child under five years to receive is that which he can get from the senses of his finger tips." Doctor Schweiger said. "When nature wants anybody to do something she makes it exceeded like a machine. That is why children like to be curious. They have fun playing seemingly foolish things. Nobody ever learned anything by just sitting still."
Doctor Schwegheler has spent considerable time studying undeveloped and unhealthy children. The most serious sign, he said, that a child must be treated with patience to sit still and no inclination to play. "The boy is naturally more restless and more inclined to be troublesome than the girl. Male life in schools involves adventure and the male impulse is that of combat." Doctor Schwegheler added.
