THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOLUME XIX FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO STOP RAIL STRIKE Assurance Has Come From High Administrative Official MAY SEIZE RAILROADS Unions Refuse Conciliation- Exact Date Set for Cleveland, Oct., 17.—The railway unions figuratively turned their backs away today on what apparently was the last chance to avert the water crisis in Lake Michigan. Warren G, Stone, grandfather of the Brethrood of Locomotive Engineers sounded their attitude towards offers to compromise when he said: Strike Washington, Oct. 17—The federal government will keep the railroads in operation. This was the definite assurance that came today from a high administrative official, as President Harding and other government leaders renewed their attempts to avert a nationwide railroad strike. Feeling in official Washington today was that the called strike will not materialize on an extensive scale but at the same time the government realizes that the transportation lines must be kept in operation. The federal government has as yet named no program. Whether the government will seize the rail-roads in case the strike order is not rescinded and the walkout follows no prominent official would say. Postmaster general Hays was pre- preparing to provide armed guards it is necessary to keep the mail trans- moving. Hays also conferred with Attorney General Dougherty regarding the legal aspect. Hays is also considering possible responsibility to carry mail at the arrestee occurs. Attorney General Dougherty is studying the legal angle of the whole situation in order what he may be prepared to do anything necessary through the federal court. NUMBER 26 Senator Cummins, chairman of the Interstate Commerce Committee, will confer with committee members and with members of the Interstate Commerce Commission on the advisibility of putting through emergency legislation.

SENIOR ENGINEERS TO INSPECT BIG PLANTS Will Visit Chicago and St. Louis On Tour of Inspection An inspection tour for senior mechani- electric and electrical engineering students in Chicago and St. Louis will take place inside of a month if present plans work out, according to Professor Johnson. This trip, which before the war was required of all seniors in these two departments of engineering, is undertaken this year at the option of the students. It was decided that if eight or more moved to go, that would be one of the easiest expenses of sending a professor with them. Eleven electrical engineers have signed thus far, and also several mechanics. The students will visit large manufacturing plants in the two cities of many types such as steel mills, auto parts manufacturers and electronics. Large manufacturehaves been written to in both cities, for permission to inspect 'their plants, and answer must be received from before any definite arrangements In the past few years the students have been on trips to Kansas City, to which senior mechanical and elec trical engineers are supposed to go. It is thought, however, that within a year or two the longer trip will again be a requirement as it has been in the past. This year's optional trip is to find how well the students respond to the idea of the long trip.

You Press a Button and Do Your Own Stamping Several New York firms have adopted the machine since its very recent appearance—it has only been a desktop machine. The post office adopted the invention. WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. (United Press.)—Thanks to a new automatic postage machine, which post offices in the large industrial towns have ready for hire, and you may mail a thousand letters to us, you can also read it on the machine. The meter looks like a small hand safe, stands about twelve inches inch and has an inside mechanism which provides for a rollback. It can be used to charge the stamp. You hire your machine and take it away from the post office "charged up" to frank a thousand dollars. All your mail clerk has to do is to slip the envelopes through the foot of the machine, press a button — when it does, the meter is franked ready to be put aboard the train. When the number register shows on the machine, the post office rewrites it for a fresh thousand Sketches For Jayhawker Jr They Raise Ball Players In This Little Texas Cit Dalts, Texas, Oct. 17, (United Press), "Every third person born in Missouri, Texas, turns out to be a professional baseball player." With a population of 350, this little town, which is located a few miles south of Dallas, has sent twenty-seven native sons to organized baseball and some of them have been big league players.

Then they sent Mike Erwin to Brooklyn, Jack Kimball to Pittsburgh, Buddy Napier to Cincinnati and other players, to minor leagues. Among the minor league stars were Ewell Gross, shortstop for San Antonio; Lawrence Parker for Dallas; Dan Gross with Radekšić in midfield and as "Chief" Porter with Springfield (Three-Eye League); Cy Watson, Texas League star twirler, and several others who are playing minor league ball, but who have not yet come out as stars.

MORE WOMEN ENTER PROFESSIONAL WORK All Schools Except Pharmacy Show Increases Over Last Enrolment of women in professional schools of the University of Kansas is increasing each year. This increase is due to measurement statistics in the engineering, the law, the pharmacy and the medical schools of men's professions. the present enrollment of women in the School of Engineering is elevated to that of a technical engineering. The civil, mechanical and industrial departments each claim the honor of a woman enrolled with the aspirations of entering the active field at the completion of their respective degrees. Women can best be used in the industrial field because it involves the selection and training of employees, welfare work and planning work of employees in greater detail, and in greater costs, according to Dean Walker. Explaining this course as the one best suited for women, Dean Walker said, "I expect to see more women take up its industrial course, in which there is less technical work, and place more economics and sociology. The School of Law record shows an enrollment of ten women. The fair sex on completion of a course in this professional school are very valuable as office assistants, and also are providing very capable in sound guidance to clients, according to records. The School of Pharmacy shows a decrease of one over last year's enrolment, which was an even dozen, but the tendency is decidedly toward at present graduates of this school engaged in active work in hospitals and drug stores. Especially they are active in making experiments in large factory laboratories. Seven women are enrolled in the School of Medicine. In this profession as in the others there is shown over last year's enrollment of five. LINDLEY ON EXTENSIVE TRIP Will Represent University at Ithaca Inaugural Ceremonies Gailloncel E. H.

Dazzling Display of Forward Passes in the Final Quarter Netted Drake Two Touchdowns DRAKE SCORES FIRST Punting of McAdams During Second and Third Quarters Largely Accountable for Low Score Bewildered by a dazzling aerial attack in the last period of play that setted the Drake Bugs two touchdowns, Conch Clark's Jay-attack was the second day on the lean of a 15 to 7 score. The Jayhawk led through three quarters of the game by a 7 to 2 score, but was unable to come out the sprited rally staged by the Blue Warriors in the fourth quarter. Drake scored first in the opening period when McAdams was downed back of the Kansas line for safety. A short time later the Jayhawk eleven inaugurated its only offensive drive, and by exchange of punts and a series of ground-gaining passes, carried the pigkin well into the end zone. The ball was bounced off the arm of a Drake back into the hands of Melvin Griffin, who fell across the goal line for the only Kansas counter. The second and third quarters of the game were taken up principally by an exchange of punts and a freezied nerial attack on the part of the Bull Dogs in an attempt to push over a winning counter that failed at times only by a hair $^{2}$ breath. In the second quarter and again in the third quarter, the ball within the Kansas ten-yard line, only to lose the oval on downs or fumbles, and have it booted to safety off the steady foot of McAdams. It was in the fourth quarter that the Drake aerial attack came into its own. Pass after pass was completed off the accurate flipper of Niggemeyer into the arms of Long, Shearer and Bootter. The first Blue and White touchdown came through straight football, however, Niggemeyer plowing through the Kansas line on the third down, directly unintended. Cramble and blue goal posts. Drake continued her passing style after this counter, and a few minutes before the final whistle a twenty-ward pass, Niggemeyer to Long, netted the second and last touchdown. The line-up: Kansas Pos.
