The Primrose Path Was Father's Ruin
Montrose, Scotland. April 3 (Untied Press)—With most familiar vices, new and old, to choose from, a local father chose the flapper's road to ruin. His wife complained to a police court that he was neglecting her and their five children to spend his week's wages on nightly visits to the "movies" where he consumed huge quantities of candy.
The court summoned the man, who signed the pledge.
ANSASMUNICIPALITIES GIVES OUT TAX DATA
City Organ Compares Tax Rates Assessed Valuations and Services of Towns
--spend. Miss, Emily Dutton, Professor of Latin at the College of Tennessee, will speak, and Miss Georgia White, who is a graduate of talk on "Women in University Life."
An exhaustive study of tax rates of all Kansas Cities appears in the current issue of "Kansas Municipalities," which is being distributed this week. In summarizing this study of tax rates, John G. Stute, secretary of the Kansas League of Municipalities and instructor in the University avs:
"The purpose of this compilation is to afford each city of Kansas data on tax rates, assessed valuations, and the ability to compare these are comparable in size and ability.
"The most conspicuous reason for high tax rates is a very low assessed valuation or a high bond and interest rate, or a combination of these causes. Very low tax rates may be due to high assessed valuation or to a failure of the city to provide modern service for its citizens.
"No city can furnish twentieth century service on nineteenth century tax rates; neither can taxpayers expect a return. It is only a small portion of the true value of the property. Likewise it is hard for city officials to provide efficient service at a low rate if their buildings have built up a heavy bovded debt."
Mr. Stutz points out that difficulty in obtaining lists of bonded debt indicates a laxness in keeping records of such debt.
The statistical study is to be published in pamphlet form for use by city officials and others. The tables appear in two forms, one showing assessed valuations, tax rates and bonded debts, and the other, in which case the data are grouped to show the tax rates for the various municipal services.
A general summary shows that the per capita assessed valuation of property in Kansas cities of the first class is $120, second city, 1021, third class, $212 to $1412, compared with $214 for the state as a whole.
The average per capita bonded dues ranges from $80 in cities of the first class to $119 for third class cities or less than 2000 population.
An example of low assessed valuation reflected in high rate is shown in the table, wherein a city of 8500 with a valuation of $52,000 has a city tax rate of 18.4, while another city with a valuation of $11.32 has a tax rate of 11.32. The municipal services of the two cities are practically the same.
WOMEN TO USE POSTERS Candidates Will Employ Publicity Already Prepared
Posters will be used by the woman in their election campaigns for Executive Council offices of W. S. G. A., to be voted on Wednesday, April 5, according to Doria Rose, who is running for President on one ticket and Cecil Hale who is running for secretary on the other ticket.
After a conference of candidates on both the tickets, it was decided that since the posters were already made before all the votes could be cast, there could be no money saved, but only money lost, in not using them. The women also feel that this is their only way to get their candidate's before the public, since they do not make a practice of going through the polls. That the men do in their cammails.
At first, after the Men's Student Council rulen to protest posters in the men's election, it was wondered whether or not the women would fall into line with their action, but as W. S. G. A. took an action prohibiting women from voting in the election, the candidates from both ticket, who discussed the matter, decided that there would be nothing gained in not using them.

TESTING STRENGTH OF COAL TIE-UP
Head of United Mine Workers Declares Strike 100 Per Cent Effective
BUT OPERATORS DENY IT
President Lewis Pleads For Nationalization as a Remedy For Situation
(By United, Press)
The real strength of the coal tie up was being determined today.
John L. Lewis, head of the Unitee mine workers declared the walk out was 100 per cent effective.
Operators, however, said that many miners simply took a holiday over Saturday and Sunday and returned to work today.
"Lewis before the house labor committee suggested nationalization of the mines as a way out of the repeated coal troubles. He emphasized that miners were ready to meet operators.
In the Pennsylvania anthracite coal district, railroad shops were closed because of the strike and a total of 300 men laid off. Anthracite operators and miners resumed wage negotiations in New York.
Washington, April 3.—Nationalization of the country's coal mines was "seriously suggested" to congress today by John L. Lewis president of the United Mine Workers, appearing before the house labor committee, which is seeking solution of the present strike.
In Chicago heads of railroad union discussed the aiding of miners.
Nationalization, Lewis told the Committee, is the inevitable remedy for all of the coni situation, which the operators had refrained to venery.
"The nine workers," said Lewis, "have been waiting with ever growing impatience for many years, hoping to be able to detect some signs which would have caused a realization of duties, but so far nothing has been accomplished.
"And so it is that mine workers say that there now seems to be no hope but nationalization. No reedy is offered by operators, and in default of any other remedy, the mine workers seriously suggest that the government take over and operate the mines.
"If the owners will not set their house in order, the public must step in and enforce orders, because in a democracy such as this, no set of men, whether by private means or of or of others can be allowed permanently to maintain a public nuisance."
Lewis again held out the Jive branch to the operators. He said the miners are ready to meet the operators at any time to negotiate a new wage and working agreement and 'hus end the coal strike.'
Lewis said the miners would welcome an impartial and judicial investigation that would reveal facts regarding the coal business-profits, operating practices, and industrial relations.
WILL GIVE FIRST AID COURSE
A course of training in first aid to the injured will be begin by students of mining engineering on April 31 and will continue for one week. The course includes the emergency treatment of a shock, wounds, electric shock, and drowning.
The instructor is one of the first aid trainers regularly attached to a mine rescue car of the U. S. Bureau of Mines. The Bureau has given great prominence to the prevention of accidents and the treatment of the injured ever since its organization. Cars fully equipped with first aid and rescue apparatus are kept ready to be rushed to the scene of an accident. The crews of the cars also give training to miners and to students of mining engineering at the University, but may be taken by others. It is so valuable that the opportunity to get it ought to be welcomed.

"It is a better job of writing and giving an occasional lecture." Dean Blackmarr brought out the fact that Eastern civilization lived on traditions with eyes looking back to Confucius, the Western civilization is made of an investigation for truth. "The Graduate Club is dedicated to realization of truth and the heart of education and civilization."

EFFORTS BEING MADE TO BEAUTIFY CAMPUS
"Keep Off the Grass" Sign
Are Being Put Up—Word
“Please” is Added
"The campus of this University can be made one of the most beautiful in the United States," said Mr. Van Horebeek, the University's new landscape gardener. "The grass will grow, but what we need is the cooperation of the students in letting it have a chance."
This morning little "Please" signs sprang up over the campus in addition to the more commanding "Keep Off the Grass" signs which have formerly been used. "Please" is a more delicate suggestion than the other and Mr. Van Horebeek hopes that the students will observe the request.
In a few years hard maple trees and evergreens will shade the walk between the east and west administration buildings. This is but one of the many enthusiastic plans which Van Horebeek has for beautifying the city. He is done, however, until a large amount of grading is accomplished.
Probably no other campus in the United States is as by foot paths as that of the University of Kansas, and Mr. Van Horebeck believes that the University's strong appearance of their campus as those of any other college or university.

The snakes will not be killed immediately but will be kept caged for the benefit to them, who are invited to see them, an attendant said.
"Snakes as pets would take little care," he added. "You don't have to feed them birdseed every morning to keep them in trim. They like a mouse diet, but indulge so infrequently that very often the mouse staves to death before the snake thinks of eating it. As a snake, it's hard for them to fawn which the snake has the story was told of a box of fifty-ix rattle snakes which received by the museum in January, were not "executed" until the following October.
