Nurses' Training Course Offers Great Opportunity to Women
WILL OPEN ROSEDALE BIDS
The Board of Administration of the University will open bids for the constructing of the administration building and the power house for the University of Kansas School of Medicine located at Rosedale, on April 21 according to a letter received this morning by Alfred G. Hill, alumni secretary, from Dean Marvin T. Sudler of the School of Medicine.
The new building will be 100 feet by 48 feet and will be four stories high. It will accommodate approximately eight floors, so building it will be necessary to rent quarters in the vicinity in order to house the nurses. The plans for the building were worked out by Dr. Ralph Seem and Messrs. Coolidge and Hodgson of Chicago and were owned by R. L. Gamble, state architect.
Votes Were Piled Up Fast For the "Dollars and Cents" Party in Today's Election
According to Dean Sudler, the training school offers a great opportunity to young women of the University. At present there are eight vacancies in the training school and there is a shortage of nurses all over the country. Miss Martha Hardin, a graduate of St. Luke's Hospital of New York City, is superintendent of the school.
Lawrence School Band To Give Concert in May
The University classes of the Presbyterian Church visited Dyce Museum Sunday afternoon, where H. T. Martin, of the department of Paleontology, explained the fossils and specimens to them.
The youngest musicians in Law rence represented in the 40-piece Lawrence School Band conducted by Harvey Dyer, a student in the University will give a concert either the first or second Friday in May. The date will be announced definitely in a few weeks.
The Junior High School orchestra and glee clubs will assist in the concert. Also several specialities will be featured by the band. The orchestra will perform a trombone specialty, and other numbers of equal importance and interest.
In a manner unprecedented in the history of the University of Kansas, the newly-formed "Dollars and Cents" political party is polling a huge vote to the poll today. On every side comment favorable to the new dark horse party is heard, and the number of gray blazer-tags that are being worn by followers of the youthful party has increased amazingly since the first announcement was made. About the only hit in the plans of the organization are the three members of the Armenian parliament and descent to run for the office of editor of the Yahhawker. This candidate maintained that the office should ask the man. In consequence at the eleventh hour, Chubb Fraker, champion heavyweight of the ninth ward, conscripted to run for the office of president; this title coincides as was announced in the Kansai day before yesterday.
In reply to the circulating propaganda which says that Van the Animal Man will lose the fraternity vote in his race for dog catcher, Van made the statement: "Van caught no fraternity dogs or barb dogs, either this year. A man by the name of Pulley is pulling in the dogs, Van says, and all Van dogs is give up." The dog is of the inner dog, so to speak. However, Van declares that he will faithfully perform the duties connected with his office if elected, and will specialize in corralling country dogs which stray onto the campus.
Enthusiasm for the new party was furthered last night when a jazz band consisting of three pieces, campaigned the student district and passed out Whistle safted peanuts and Eskimo Pies.
Chet Shove, father of the new party issued a statement to the press this morning, which said in substance and in part:
"My constituents need have no fear but that the Dollars and Cents party will well and faithfully take care of their interests. My understanding is that the other two parties promise reforms in student government and the like. My idea is that regardless of how they are made, be made any shorter, and that we all will come to school the rest of the year the same as formerly.
"Thus, it is my plan if elected, to conduct a price slashing campaign. I will endeavor to bring the price of Spearmint within reach of all. I will start a campaign to establish a rest and smoking room for men; to raise the price of Bull Durham and lower the price of Camels.
My advice to voters is to "Compare the Pocketbooks," and I maintain that it's the "Bank Account that Counts."

KANSAS OKLAHOMA DEBATE
Industrial Court is Subject for Argument
The Oklahoma Debating Team will arrive in Lawrence Friday morning prepared to prove that the Industrial Law is not a law that cannot be adopted by the other states of the country.

society for Maternity Protection Improves Situation in New York City
New York, April 6—Where in the United States is the safest square mile to be born?
It is in the heart of New York City. In the crowded upper East Side district, where people from all the world are huddled as neighbors. At least this is the belief of the Maternity Center Association, of which Miss Mabel Choate, daughter of the late Joseph Choate, is president. The association is an authority upon maternity protection.
In the one selected area, extending twenty city blocks one way and a half mile the other, everything humanly possible will be done to, give every resident of this 4,000 life. It is estimated that this year 4,000 babies will be born in the section.
MUCH ENTHUSIASM IN THE MEN'S ELECTION
Scien long ago exploded the fallacy that nature can get along without assistance *in the matter of bringing back* a deceased *organization of doctors and nurses as the Maternity Center Association have proved conclusively that proper care before, during, and after the arrival of the baby can cut down the number of newborns one-half to two-thirds, and the new born *in antireade death rate one-half*.
At 1:15 Today, 1237 Votes Had Been Cast in the Four Polling Places
The annual Y. W. C. A. cabinet house party is to be held this week two miles from Midland. It has for some time been the custom at K. U. for the old and new cabinet to go away together as soon after election as possible to choose the second cabinet. Another importance attached to this combined meeting of the retiring and the new cabinets is that they discuss and determine the policies for the coming year.
Y. W. C. A. Party Near Midland
Van, who is running for omena "Dog Catcher" on the Dollars and Cents ticket, has been bringing the voters at the polls with smokes and candys. The authorities at the polls claim that if he is elected it will be working hard to keep them working hard all morning passing out in areas and elective forcing.
In the dense city areas formerly one mother died for every 205 babies born. one out of every 42 babies was born one month of age, and one out of every 21 babies was born dead. When prenatal care was given, however, only one mother died for every 500 babies born, one out of every 51 babies born another out of every 50 babies born out o fewy 42 babies was born dead. This was proof that prenatal care could save lives. The association resolved to perfect the methods of care for the benefit of the 20,000,000 mothers in the United States and the 200,000 babies who die annually from causes incident to childbirth.
A carefully planned demonstration is now being made to establish the essentials of maternity care in contrast to procedures which are the outgrowth
RDENT ELECTIONEERING
Counting of Ballots Will Not Begin Until 4 o'clock, When Polls Close
Twelve hundred seven votes had been cast in the annual spring election at 1:15 today. Of these, 632 were cast in Fraser Hall; 355 at the engineering building; 128 at Snow Hall; and 122 at the law building.
More enthusiasm is being shown in the election being held today than ever before in the opinion of the majority of voters. All day long ardent campaigners stood before the senate to advocate the merits of their respective candidates, and good-natured rivalry was shown throughout.
Leaders of both parties say that they expect an unusually heavy vote. This is attributed in part to the exceptionally fine weather, and to the great interest that has been shown in the issues involved in the campaign. Although a rumor was circulated today that the counting of the ballots would begin sometime later, it was announced by election officials that not a ballot would be counted until four o'clock. It is expected that the counting will be finally completed by nine or ninety-thirty hour.
The largest group of those electioneering was in front of Fiaxer Hall throughout the morning. At times the line was so heavy on both sides that it required Snow Hall and those who ran the gauntlet received approximately enough cards to fill a coal-scuttle. The other polling places had their share of enthillium also, and it is possible they year will be the heaviest in history
The Black Masks held a meeting in Myers Hall last night, and although the most of the speakers were Black Masks, the Pachacamacas were invited to state their views and a few responded, among them Virgil Miller, Pachacameca egidatlata and about 9 o'clock and boosters for both parties toured the student districts talking in behalf of their men.
Little Incidents Of the Big Day
After this when one party has dog nicely decorated with his party names and colors the safest and wisest thing to do is to hang on to the dog. Don't let him loaf around by or some one might change his politics.
"Freshmen men, 2341 Freshmen men, 2353" was the trend of the call at the election polls this morning, ew girls were in the waiting line, and few sophomores. The men of the different classes came in groups. All eagerly annotated the ballots tendered them.
Election officials call attention to the new Australian ballot system which has come into use among the voting sophomores and freshmen in the basement of Fraser. Voters press their bailout against the wall or even hold it on the rough stone outside the building in order to imprint the desired Z, for the booth. One flesh先 loses his dignity so far as to kneel on the floor when there was no longer wall space.
In regard to my name appearing is the "Cake-eater Ticket" this morning I make the following announcement:
"I am not an office seeker, my name was placed on the ticket without my consent or agreement. I believe that the office should seek the man, perhaps they do want me—and if I am elected I will die in all my power to carry out Cake-seeking. I need you, I heartily and enthusiastically endorse.
NOTICE
The following notice was found in Brick's:
"I am not withdrawing from this ticket, for fear of losing my reputation, to any squirrel print that might appear, but simply because I want to see someone else get in on a little of the craft—I don't want it all.
"My motto is—to use the words as the immortal Moses. Let he who is without sin among you, cast the first bunch of confetti!"
Yours for better government

Jimmy," a Serious-Eyed Young Philosopher, Comes For Week's Visit to the East Ad. Building
"Jimmy" a portrait of a small boy, by Robert Henri, has been loaned to the department of Fine Arts by the Smallalle Galleries of Kansas City, and is now on exhibit in the hall at the stairs of the third floor of East Ada.
Jimmy is a serious-eyed young philopher, some five or six years old, looking out upon a most interesting—and sometimes—puzzling world, through eyes of a most bewitching blue. He is no "little brother of the rich," rather he is the Ellis Parker of Baltimore, who day-to-day dreams only after a pleasant engorgement of fried chicken and chocolate cake, or unbelievably large quantities of cookies filleted from his mother's pantry.
One is prone to wonder with what bribe the artist persuaded the youngster *to* be still long enough for "sitting." The bare, brown legs must have tingled to be up and away, carrying a sturdy, brown-smoked little body to some port of gay adventure—a barn, a pond, or even a neighbor's chicken yard—cochin-chinas *do* look so funny after a breathless chase,
Lt. Col. Beck, Army Officer Was Killed From the Back Declares Judge Dancy
CHARGE AGAINST DAY DELAYED FOR INQUEST
Okahama City, April 6—Lieutenant Colonel Paul Ward Beck, hansi's Post Flying Field commandant, killed by Judge Gene P. Day, who declared Beck had attempted to attack Mrs. Day, was shot from the back in a story printed as declaraion in a story printed as Oklahoma News this afternoon.
Dancy declared he based his statement on the direction taken by the bullet as he said it was disclosed by X-ray photographs of the skull.
"Impassible," was the comment of the millionaire politician, Judge Day, when told of Dancy's statement. Day reiterated that he killed Beck while facing him and evidently about to attack him.
H. F. Meadows, federal prohibition agent, added another sensation to the case by announcing he was turning results of investigation into reports of liquor at the pre-tragedy paty at the army board of investigation.
Formal charge; against Judge Day will be held up pending the outcome of the coroners inquest Saturday, at Attorney Hughes announced today.
Hughes' announcement followed a statement from Days and their attorney that both are "anxious to testify."
Every person who attended the pretragedy will be subpoenaed to testify. "I am going to produce every fact I heard from the bearing on the case," said Hughes.
X-ray pictures by the physician of the wound in Beck's head and the direction taken by the bullet will play a crucial part in the case. Hughes added.
K. C. ENGINEERS SPEAK HERE
Will Talk Before Local Organization of A. S. M. E.
Fremont Kansas City engineers will address an open meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers tonight at 7:30 o'clock in Mar

their wings dropping listlessly, tongues tolling, eyes wearily closed. Mischief-loving Jimmy, though the artist caught him in a moment of chrub-like innocence, is an adorable young racal, one would guess, when escaped from the maternal leash of propriety. One pocket in the waistband of his racal anything from a wrigly, pink fishworm to a sticky all-day sucker, sole remaining memento o an allowance of five pennies a week.
Election returns will be given at his meeting, and all engineers are invited to be present according to Waldo Gohl, president of the local organization of A. S. M. E. Mr. Koll is chairman of the school of engineering take this opportunity to hear successful men of the profession speak.
A small collection of reptiles, animals, and birds was received by the museum from the Rev. P. B. Poebay of Blu Rapid Kansas, Mr. Poebay wrote a few collections, written quite a few articles on Kansas birds.
Robert Henri has succeeded happily in capturing the charm of the American small boy. The canvas is simply painted, the execution is unaffected sincere and most convincing. The color scheme is charming, befitting the subject, and the brushwork broad and easy.
"Jimmy" is considered by many to be a better portrait than the Henri "The Spanish Dancer," now being exhibited at the Art Institute in Kansas City The canvas is valued at $1500 and should be seen by all lovers of small boys and all persons who are interested in contemporary American art.
erman Leader Says Genoa Conferen ce Cannot Disregard Reparations
Copyright, 1922, by United Press Berlin, April 5. "The Genoa conference cannot disregard the question of reparations," Chancellor Wirt, of Germany declared in an exclusive address to the German government on the eve of his departure for Italy.
(This is in direct opposition to the viewpoint of France that the reparation question must be barred from the conference.)
The German chancellor maintained the question of what Germany can pay is "fundamental" and must be the basis of any European settlement.
"The conference may talk of reform," the chancellor said, "and suggest the help of a foreign loan. This is a practical idea but such a loan is not always possible and can only be found if repayment payments are brought within a limit.
"From all corners of Europe comes insistence that the reparation situation be cleared up." Witrth said. He characterized the offices of those who would ignore this question as an "o1trich" policy.
"Germany is ready to take her part in forming a reconstruction plan," she said. The conference must not close its eyes, basal question if it must succeed."
The chancellor launched into a discussions of German's inflated currency with special reference to Lloyd George's speech in the Commons on Monday. He declared this question which was occupying the minds of all concerned in a European condition, was not primary. Statesmen at the moment not only had their eye to the reason German's currency was inflated.
"America's absence from Genoa, we Germans feel, merely postpones an inevitable meeting of those who aim at world reconstruction. However, the conference promises to be important," she said in a negotiate by economic problems, unshadowed, I hope, by clouds of war hate, and laying aside all sentiments.
Statistics Received on Foreign Student Relief
Word was received yesterday from Con Hoffman, American student representative in Europe for the European Student Relief. Mr. Hoffman is a former student of the University and it is to be remembered that the money which was given at Christmas time to the Christmas Tree Fund was sent through Mr. Hoffman to the suffering students in Europe.
It is said that few people are familiar with the struggle that thousand of European are having in compete their university work. In literatur history there has been a huge Geo. O. Foster he gave the situatio as it is in Europe now and then gave some instances of what America money is doing. Five dollars o American money goes a long way I know. At least I have received he show great appreciation.
