VETOES BONUS BILI
In Message President Tells Congress Why Fordney-McCumber Bill is Impossible
CONGRESS VOTES TODAY
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 20, 1922.
Both Houses Will Pass Verdict on the President's Message
(Special)
Washington, Sept. 29. "With the avowed purpose of the bill to give expression of a nation's gratitude to those who served in its defense in the World War, I am in accord, but to its provisions, I do not subserve," he said. "We congratulate today after afternoon, voting the Fordney-McCumber bill.
The president in his message, told in a straight forward manner just why he thought the proposed Fordley-McCumber bill was impossible at the present time. It was a strong declaration, probably the strongest Mr. Harding has sent to Congress since he has been in the White House.
He said that he would have signe a bonus bill willimily, if congress has provided a sales tax along with it to the president. The bill would require. The whole text of the presidents long message was a summary of the arguments just why no bonus should be paid and why they should pay a bonus to the veterans exist.
"It is not to be denied that the nation has certain very binding obligations to those of its defenders who made real sacrifices in the World War and who left the armies injured, disabled, or diseased so that they cannot return their places in the world for the sake of life." President Harding said.
"When the bill was under consideration in the house, I expressed the conviction that any grant of bonus ought to provide the means of paying it and I was unable to suggest any plan other than that of general sales tax. Such a plan was unacceptable to the congress, and the bill has been enacted without even a suggested amendment. The cost is not definitely known, either for the immediate future or in the ultimate settlement.
KU KU's PLAN NEW STUNTS
The president made it clear in his message that the disabled and wounded would receive every care and attention they required, their bestowal, and that in time, as the abled-abled veterans grow infirm, they too would receive pensions, in but, in order for the government to be in position to pay pensions in the future, it
Today Congress will pass verdic, on the President's emphatic veto. The house held a meeting at noon to vote on whether it shall be sustained immediately. The senate also voted late today, after a long debate.
First Meeting Will Be Thursday Evening at 7:30

Last spring the Ku Ku's planned to attend the West Point game in a body this fall, but, as the railroac rates were not reduced as much as the had expected, they find that it is more likely that a project at the present time.
Bredberg says that the Klan is he very active at the home games this fall, and he urges a good attendance Thursday night in order that the Klan will be able to get a flying start on the coming season.

FRANCE TO DESTROY
NO NAVAL TONNAGE
Treaty Allowed France to Retain Fleet of Ten Battleships
Paris, Sept. 20. – (United Press)—France will have no naval tonnage to destroy if the Washington Navy Treaty is ratified by parliament, but as it stands coming within the limited limit of the Washington Treaty.
The treasury allowed France to retain no fleet of 10 capital ships, which consisted of 3 warships of the pre-existing fleet and 5 dreadnoughts of the pre-renault type.
Naval officials point out that while he be United States, Great Britain, and Japan enlarged their navies during he war, France interrupted its engagement.

The were 60,000,000 tons of cargo, Lamprey, Gasser, Flandre, and Normandie. With the exception of the Bearn, which is now an airplane carrier, none of these boats has been completed and their construction has been entirely abandoned.
A new program was voted on August 18 this year, but it calls for no capital ships. It is destined to complete the fleet of lightl craft and comprises: 3 cruisers of 8,000 tons each, 6 destroyers of 2,400 tons, 12 torpedo boats of 1,100 tons, and 12 submarines.

WORKING HOURS SHORTER
Women Here to Spend Four Hours Daily
Lawrence women have been calling Mrs. Bryant to ask whether there was a misunderstanding in regard to the hours of work decided upon for room and board. No change has been made in the requirements and all housewives who have student assistants are assured that the report of four and one-half hours was an error.
The requirements for girls working for their board and room in private homes is four hours of service a day instead of four and one-half hours as required. The committee was erroneously quoted in Tuesday's Kannan. For room alone one hour of work a day is required and for board without room three hours are required, making a total of four hours for both board and room.

MISS GARDNER TELLS OF SUMMER IN SPAIN
Spanish Instructor Visits Famous Cities—Madrid and Barcelona
CITIES THERE ARE MODERN
No Longer is it a Land of Romance and Quaint Tradition
"Spain is not the land of romance, and of quaint tradition, of picturequeens customs and manners one usually fans, but it is really quite modern," commended Miss May Gardner, of the department of Spanish, who has recently returned from a summer in Madrid. "Madrid very much resembles any of the American cities of its size, such as Kansas City, except that it appears much lighter due to the effect of the houses of white stucco and parcel streets. The houses are more elaborate than the pictures, but are quite like the homes and apartment buildings of cities in this country."
On her way home Miss Gardner came through Barcelona, the largest industrial city in Spain. She was forced to change her route home due to a revolution in Portugal, but when the boat stopped at Lisbon it was all an revolutions last only a day, and as are general there as chemists.
"I had no thrilling experiences," said Miss Gardner smiling, "because after each first trip nothing new or entrance. But I did "girl home my journey" a coddled censure between Spain and Kanaas."
"The Spanish girl dresses very much as the American girl does," said Miss Gardner in describing her trip. "Her picturesque mantilla is solemn worn exerted in early morning for the children, and differs from the American girl is that she is not so free as her Western sister. The Spanish mother would be shocked at the freedom of the American girl, for when friends call on a daughter of Spain, mother is always present, and always accompanies the young people on their walks or visits to the theatre, with gifts in business to a great extent. The independent movement in that country is just beginning.
"Nor is the young man of Spain the gallant who dreamily plays the guitar, or fearlessly engages in bullfights that the novelist would portray," continued Miss Gardner. "He like the American young man, is only human after all, and human beings are much the same the world over."
Lindley to Speak at Pittsburgh.
Upon the invitation of President Brandenburg of the Kansas Manual Training State Normal School at Pittsburgh, E. H. Lindley, chancellor of the University, will speak tomorrow before the student body of that institution.
Miss Ruth Winship, C24, is teaching in the graded school at Coolidge, Kansas.
"The social life of Spain is bedfellow to that country. The fiery heat of summer brings joy to the middle of day. The shops open at 10 o'clock, and close again during the noonday heat. Trade is resumed at 4 o'clock. The crowds begin promending in the passes, or boulevards, which are often two or three miles in length, and bordered with trees and shrubbery. Grass is scarce; even trees must be irrigated because of the drought and hot weather. The trees, and refreshment stands are numerous. Motor cars and horse-drawn vehicles are in evidence, the latter being more popular with the older folks. At 2 o'clock the noonday meal is served. At 6 o'clock the afternoon performances at the theatre begin. The evening meal, which as in America may be either dinner or supper, is served between 9 and 10. After the theatre begins at 10:30 and lasts until nearly 1 o'clock.
"The schools in Spain are on a different basis than those in this country," concluded Miss Gardner. "They do not think there of co-education as Americans do. The girls usually attend girl's schools or convents. Few of them attend the universities, but they are beginning to do so more than ever." Students are mummed out for the students there, nor are students watched over by an instructor. The Spanish student works independently, and takes an examination which leads toward the degree he is seeking."
Enrollment in Lawrence High is Increasing Daily
At present 758 are enrolled in the Lawrence Hig School and the enrollment is increasing daily, 80 having entered in the last three days. An entirely different plan is being used this year, according to Superintendents Olney, and up to date it has worked very well.
The enrollment of this year's
classes is as follows: seniors-74
years, juniors-72 boys, 18 years,
95 boys, 106 girls; freshmen -81 boys, 75 girls;
ACTIVITY TICKET SALE IS LIMITED TO 2,000
No Coupon Books Will be Sold After That Mark is Reached
After the sale of Student Activity Tickets has reached the 2,000 mark set by Dr. Allen, there will be no chance for other tickets to be purchased for the basketball games, because the seating arrangement in the gymnasium will only accommodate 2,000 people.
Those holding Student Activity Tickets are assured of reserved seats in any section of the Stadium for the football games, the first one being only four men or less. This year the team will wear a temporary tickets excent to "K" man.
During the first few days of school the sale of the books was moderator however, as the students are beginning to realize the tremendous bargain-forty activities for $25; twenty cents for the Home-come game—there has been an increase in the number of books sold.
In a short while the people in Lawrence will be given a chance to purchase the books. Last year a large number of town people bought Activity Tickets and attended all of the games and concerts.
Students may purchase the books at the Athletic Office, the Dean's Office in the School of Law, office of the Dean of Women, or the office of the Dean of Women.
TEACHERS' MEET IS EARLIER
Sessions in Four Towns Are in October
The fact that the meetings of the Kansas State Teachers' Association are being held two weeks earlier this year than formerly, together with the noted speakers on the programs are expected to bring more influence and leadership to the sessions to be held in four Kansas towns.
On account of its large membership the Association has been able to secure from the railway authorities a one-half fare for all of its members.
According to F. L. Pinet, secretary of the association, more than fifteen thousand Kansas teachers will journey to Topoki, Hutchinson, Pittsburg and Hays on October 19, 20, and 21 to attend the Fifty-ninth Annual Session of the Association. "With the meetings being held this year two weeks earlier than usual in order to avoid conflict with the week in which the general election falls, we expect to have ideal weather," Mr. Pinet said today, "and the fact that this is a legislative year, combats the change in the agenda of national reputation the Association has under contract for these four meetings, indicates a record-breaking attendance on the part of teachers and school boards throughout the state."
Jess W. Milley of Girard, the Republican nominee for state superintendent of public instruction, is president of the Kansas State Teachers' Association, and will preside at one of the general sessions at each the Topka, Hutchinson, Pittsburgh and Hays meetings.

Practice Each Day Emphasizes Some Particular Phase of the Game
FORWARD PASS DEVELOPED
"Prex" Wilson is Doing Most of the Tossing For First Team
Daily scrimmages continue to be the feature on the Stadium field where Coaches George "Potys" Clark, and Karl Schalden are getting the 1922 football team into shape for its battle with the Army Cadets on October 7. Each day some particular phase is emphasized in the scrimmage.
Wednesday's practice was devious, training the men in the art of breaking up forward passes of the opposing team and that of completing passes against every possible opponent from last year's team, washing away the tossing with Black, McLean McAlann, and Kruger alternating on the receiving end of the combination. Several difficult passes were completed in spite of the efforts of the second squiggle to break them up. Hodges, of out year's freshman team, who has been hardcapped for two years, used a pat in at end yesterday for a time, and gave a good account of himself. Moseby at tackle was doing exceptional work on the defense, and gives promise of developing into an unusually strong lineman. "Real" Iey, back in suit after an absence of almost two years, was showing lots of fight in the line and is a strong competitor for a regular position in the line.
Good backfield material is plentiful at present, and barring an unusual run of injuries or hard luck, the team should have one of the strongest backfield which has represented the most recent stalwarts Adams, Kruger, Spurgeon and Wilson, first string men from last year, are all back and going good. Other candidates for backfield positions include Calvert, Burt, Sturton, Shannon, and Anderson, from the 1921 freshman team, and Pierson and McDonald of last year's varsity squad. Most of the players in the first game will be keen right up to the last practice before the squad leaves for West Point.
Coach Russell Strong in charge of the freshman squad has a squad of thirty men working daily getting into shape to give the variety some scrimmage. For this reason, he trips from the field by the latter part of his week or the first of next.
TATE FARM RECOMMENDED
Supervisor of Missouri Jails Reports Bad Conditions
St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 20—Substitution of a state farm for misdeemenants in place of county jails, in Missouri; is recommended in a report to the State Board of Charities and Corrections by William L. Miller, supervisor of county jails and almshouses.
Only two counties—St. Louis and Jackson—provide employment for prisoners, in which in several cases “es-sal” their matter of desire,” the report declares.
Miller found that in Audrain County for example, a prisoner broke jail by kicking his way through the old cell block and the rotten brick wall.
"Some jails are in basements of court houses, cut off from natural light and ventilation, lacking in sanitation," Mr. Miller said, and foul." Miller declared, "In many jails, a sentence of sixty days would be an inhuman punishment."
Seven K. U. Grads Teach at Abilene High Schoo
The solution of the jail problem as to offenders with long jail sentences is to be found in establishment of a state farm, Miller said. In addition, for example, any male prisoner given as much as a thirty-day jail sentence must be sent to the state farm, and for less than thirty days, he may be sent at the discretion of the judge.
George Glaskin, Karl Deitrich, and Byron Bonney attended the races at Kansas City Sunday.
All freshmen football men who have enrolled for football and have not yet reported for practice are asked to report tomorrow (Thursday) for equipment, provided they have shoes of their own. All other equipment is ready for issue—Russel Sprong, Freshman Coach.
The Abilene High School has on its faculty seven graduates from the University of Kansas, this year. Miss Mora McFadden, A. B. '21 is a teacher of Spanish; Miss Elise Patterson, A. B. '22 history; Miss Viola Engle, A. B. '19 mathematics; Miss Louise Allen, A. B. '19 history; Miss Hilda Murdock, A. B. '22 mathematics; Miss Marjorie Fulton, A. B. '22, English; and Herbert Steininger, science.
TICKET SALE TUESDAY LARGEST IN HISTORY
Butler Reports 124 Sold in One Day—Many to Students
Tuesday was the biggest day in ticket sales for the University. Conference Course that has ever been experienced since Dean H. L. Butter of the School of Fine Arts has had charges of the courses, 124 tickets being sold and the majority of that number to students of the University. Fifty tickets a day is the usual number sold.
To date 500 tickets have been sold to the students and to residents of Lawrence, and this number is about half the capacity of the gymnasium as it is arranged for the course. The school began its advertising campaign only nine days ago.
"I am mighty glad the students are so quick to respond," said Dean Butter this morning. "It shows a real interest in the student body in the bitter matter of entertainment." Last year at this time the ticket sales were down by 50%, not possible to compare the sale over the same period, "However," continued the Dean, "I remember that at the first number of the courses last year at least one hundred tickets were sold at the door to students for $2 each, whereas they could have purchased admission to the entire series of classes at the students who realize what a bargain they are getting."
Good seats can still be procured during the next four or five days, regardless of the price which the individual student pays for his ticket. You can buy them out, but there are still good seats left, selling at $.50 and $.60.
The first number of the University Concert Courses will appear here in Robinson Gymnasium in about two weeks—the night of October 3. The artist is Maro Chamles, a tenor with the Metropolitan Opera Company.
LAWRENCE WATER CLEARING
Tests Being Made to Determine Kind of Algae
Samples of Lawrence city water taken at the river intake indicate that the water from the river is clearing up. Teets of the city water are now made to determine the type of green algae present, according to Prof. Ernest Boyce of the State Board of Health.
The chance of such large numbers of algae getting into the water will be materially lessened upon the building of the proposed new intake. It is difficult to say whether the algae render the water unfit for drinking purposes, Professor Boyce explained in a recent publication that disease may be mainly psychological, and not traceable to any direct cause.
One way to combat the offensive odor of the water is that of boiling and then icing it. This method is being used successfully in Lawrence homes, and while probably not necessary as a health precaution, yet helps a great deal in making the odor of the water less noticeable.
A survey of the fraternities and boarding clubs this morning indicates that distilled and spring water are in great demand as a relief from the situation. Indications are that the water will become noticeably better with the decrease in the amount of chlorine added to the water is directly due to the algae, and not to prevent chemical calls, as many suppose.
