Few Are Safeguarded Against Smallpox Now
The threatened smallpox epidemic has not yet become serious. There is one case in the University Hospital and one case down town.
"There are no doubt many cases of slight attacks of smallpox among the students that are not reported," said Doctor Smith of the University of Pennsylvania, who has been vaccinated. It is very important that students get vaccinated not only for their own safety but to avoid the spreading of the disease. There is more danger from contagion from children than from those which are serious.
Doctor Smith urges all students who have not recently been vaccinated to attend to it at once, and also asks they should receive typhoid inoculation.
Members of the K. U. Bad will please report in uniform to play the Grinnell games Friday and Saturday. S. Z. Herb.

This, Says Hoover, is the Solution of World Economic Depression
"In the United States," said Hoover, "we have a large surplus of food and raw material in which we are unable to market. In Europe people are living under the lowest standards for gene-ations."
Washington, Jan. 20.—The one solution to the present economic depression in the United States and throughout the world is extension of credit to the starving countries of Europe Herbert Hoover, former food administrator, and mentioned prominently for a place on the cabinet of the next administration, told the House agriculture lecommittee today.
Hovered said the trouble lies in the fact that there is an under-consumption in a large area of the world, and not because of any over-production. This, he laid to various causes, political and social, but mainly economic, and the dominant factor is the inability of Europe to secure materials and
One function of such a board, he said, would be to provide extension of public warehouses so the farmer can store his grain at any country elevator and obtain recognized warehouse receipt that will open him a new credit.
Hoover said he thought it would be disastrous to eliminate by law the system of dealing in grain "futures," titular marketing board under the Debt recommended creation of a department of Agriculture. This board should be composed of experts, he said, whose power is primarily to improve market conditions, and other powers of this nature.
BORAH RESOLUTION BEFORE THE SENATH
Senator's Plan to Disarm Reported Favorably by Committee
Washington, Jan. 20. — The Senate foreign relations committee today ordered a favorable report on the Borah dharamnation resolution with amend-
In its demands in the amended form, the resolution requests the President to take up with the government of Great Britain and Japan immediately the question of naval disarmament with a view to the completion of a treaty for limitations of the navies of the three powers.
Washington, Jan. 20—Great Britain is ready to forego the further construction of battleships and enter an agreement for disarmament because she recognizes the future supremacy of warfare lies in the control of the United States Navy, which is assisted chief of the United States air service, said to the United Presidency.
Coffeville, Jan. 20—State bank Commissioner Wilson WIlson closed the People's State Bank here today. Wilson said further investigation would be necessary to determine the probable loss. Inability to liquidate its notes because of the business depression was the reason Wilson gave for failure. He said the cash reserve was too low to continue operations. The deposits were $650,000 and assets $710,000 on the last statement.
Coffeyville Bank Is Closed by State Official
With this idea, apart from her military policy, Britain today is directing her energies along the line of air craft development, Mitchell explained.

that muse most at the university, costs a great deal more than at other schools of the middle west, was the gist of a committee report in the weekly meeting of the Men's Student Council last night. Nebraska University, according to the report, pays only $7 per musician, while the rates paid here at present range from $10 to $25 per man. The maximum charge, according to council members, is for the Kansas Cif orchestra; for the Chicago band, an agreement not to come to Lawrence for less than $25 and expenses per musician.
A deciisoo was reached by the Council, to ask the attendance of every University musician at the next council meeting, to fix a fair price for every organization and University dance. Methods of enforcing such a limit were discussed, including boycott and co-operation with organizations until the next Council meeting, which will be held Wednesday, the first week of next semester.
116 University men, representing every organized body in the University, passed a motion just before the Council meeting, pledging their support to any action the council might see fit to take in the matter.
Claude Voorcoe, 121, resigned as vice-president of the Council, and as a member of the auditing committee, on account of leaving school at the end of this semester. He will attend the School of Law at Yale University.

CLEAN SOCIALLY
Male Students' Representatives Petition Chancellor to Act Against "Indecent" Dancing, Backing Women
PROPOSE "HOME RULE"
Dr. Lindley Told 116 Students That Group Self-Government Would Be Reality in the Near Future
Social life at the University received a vacuum cleaner examination last night.
A petition to Chancellor E. H. Lindley, urging him to take such action as he might deem fit" in regard to the following:
"A generally good condition, but with several spots of infection" was the verdict of the 116 men students of the examining body, which included the members of the Men's Student Council, the Advisory Assembly, and representatives from practically every organized house in the University.
Elimination of any "indecent" dancing.
Disapproval of smoking in, or on the approaches of University buildings.
The abolition of any "sensuous" music at University and organization dances.
This petition, in connection with the earlier request of the women for restriction of dancing, is the culmination of student agitition started early last fall following the Chancellor's first speech at convention, in which he urged student initiation in regard to control of University affairs.
Chancellor Lindley told the students that a very great degree of control of social life was to be treated in the organization life of the University in which they are working. She had to handle the affairs of their members with almost complete power.
"The stream of young men and women who come out of the University justifies every cent that is spent on them." Dr. Lindley declared, "I do not care one-half so much about their lives but I love them of their life, but the money is essential for the University to keep its society above ground."
Dr. Lindley also read the petition sent him by the representatives of the University women, who started the agitation against alleged cases of improper dancing some time ago, and explained their purposes and aims.
The matter of smoking on the approaches, of some disuse of "too much spending money" by University students, and of the work of the Student Loan fund, were also brought up by the Chancellor. He then left the room, and discussion of the various problems by students followed. John Tracey, president of the Men's Council, presided.
Motions placing the assembly as in favor of the proposed changes, and strongly recommending action of the Men's Council were passed separately, and a committee was appointed to lead them either in a petition to the Chancellor.
The prices of dance orchestras was brought up separately, and after some discussion and explanation of the situation, a resolution was passed, pledging the support of the assembly to any actic that the Merle's Council might fit to take in regard to lowering the prices of both local and out-of-town orchestras who play for University and organization dances.
The committee returned the findings of the assembly, drawn up in the form of a petition to the Chancellor, and it was passed unanimously.
