DRAMATIC CLUB PLAY COUNTED BIG SUCCESS
Margaret Matthews Starred in Excellent Characterization of Mrs. Gorringe
PLAYED TO FULL HOUSE
Cast
When Margaret Matthes was cast for her part as the flirtatious and artificial Mrs. Gorringe, the lose of whose necklace constituted the plot, the comedy-drama was assured success. Miss Matthes went right into her part, and wrung the maximum effect from every line. Hers was perhaps the most flawless characterization in the play.

PEREBLÉ GOOD IN HIS PARTS
Frede Pleble, as the handsome and heroic bride of Isabel Jardine at whose home Mrs. Gorringe was a guest, has a wonderful stage voice. Although he looked a little too young to be 29 years old, Frede gave a finished touch to his acting, and drew a hand in her hair. The other male lead, David Sheffrey, as Lieut. David Cairn, the weak andVACILIZING husband of Isabel, carried his tragic moments nicely. Sheffrey walked too stiffy, and became a little over-medramatic, never ever, his work in the last act was one of the brightest bits of the play.
BURNEY MILLER AT HIS BEST
Burney Miller, well known figure in Hill dramatics, was at his best as the eccentric Colonel Jardine. The colonel rowd grumply and consistently with Mrs. Jardine, played by Jessie Martindale, and brought down the house with several misogynistic bits of philosophy. Miss Martindale was particularly carey and she carried away a highly exaggerated part to perfection.
In the part of Isabel, the older daughter of the Jardines, Betty Bradbury gave a creditable characterization. Miss Bradbury wore some beautiful gowns, and was handicapped only until she met Mr. Braddy. Her gestures were cleverly handed, and she attained a high degree of realism in several scenes.
DYET ENABLED TO ENGAGE through her part as Vickey, the younger daughter, with her customary vivacity, and got every possible laugh out of her lines. Joe Schwarz appeared in a part that was new for him as Detective Jernigan of Scotland Yard. Schwarz had an unfondable line in the last act, but displayed remarkable poise, and handled the situation neatly. Spencer Pottis, who managed Charles the butter, 10 Pettyts was convincing in her small part as Miss Potts, a friend of the Jardine family.
The action was laid in England, and the elapsed time only one day; the same interior set was used in the four acts, and it was very effective. The production was written by Hubert Henry Davis, an English dramatist.
Music was furnished by the K. U.
concert Orchestra under the direction
of Prof. F. E. Kendric. The play
by Prof. Arthur MacMurray.
The play was seen by Professors J. G. Emerson and H. T. Hill of the department of public speaking at the Kansas State Agricultural ollege, Mif Florece Heizer, another Aggie professor, also attended the performance. Miss Heizer is coaching a play to be given soon by the dramatic club at the Manhattan school, and six of the cast accompanied her.
Professor Hill said this morning that the play could not be given too much praise, and that he was working on a plan whereby the two schools can be exchanged in the future. The idea is that students a chance to gauge their work, and obtain information as to how dramatics are carried on.
Both Hill and Emmerson were students of Prof. Arnur MacMurray when he was at Ames.
Byron Ashley Recovered
Byron Ashley, who was injured in an automobile accident during the Christmas vacation, has returned to his work on the Hill.
Correction Home, Reform School. Penitentiary, Insane Asylum and Fowler Shops Are Model Plants
A miniature factory without any' labor troubles.
"Ah, yet," says the cynical solver f riddles, "the penitentiary."

He is wrong. Fowler Shops is the model industrial plant.
am a small office built in one corner of a long stone building, a man is putting the finishing touches to several sketches of machine drawing. He is Mr. Rockland, superintendent of the shops, and the sketches form the first plan of a new type of sanding machine that he has designed. A few weeks later, a student is in one of the machines, and the same drying sets of blue prints. The drawings for the sander are complete, and sets of them are sent to the pattern-making shop, the foundry, and the machine shop.
When the blue print reaches the instructor in charge of the pattern-making room, he makes a thorough study of the details, and assigns parts of the sander pattern to members of his classse. He a man at a wood lathe is turning out a curiously shaped object, and over there another at a screwing band-saw is cutting long curves through a piece of white pine. At one side up with bench and machinery are a number of students, building and nailing parts of the pattern together, and a little farther on a man is shelling completed portions.
"We make our patterns strong enough," said Superintendent Rocklund, "so that they could be used as tools for learning." As parts of the pattern and their
GIVE STUDENT MOVIE
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
The second movie given by the Y. M. C. student A. will be shown Friday and Saturday nights in Fraser Hall at 8 o'clock, showing Wallace Reid in "The Roaring Road," and two others in Arbuckle to the "Butcher Boy."
Purpose of Y. M. Film to Furnish Whoisesome Entertainment to Students
"The Roaring Road" is one of the most intensely exciting speed pictures ever shown on the screen. The story tells how Wallace Reid as "Toodles" Waldron and automobile salesman employed by the hotel owner filling speed race down the Santa Monica Race course, in which he breaks all speed records.
The purpose of the student movies, according to Warren Blodgett, Sec'y of the Y. M. C. A., is to furnish good material for the University as a whole. Basketball scores will be announced during the show. K. U. singing and yelling will also be featured. "The Roaring Road" will be shown only once it will be repeated both nights. Admission will be $2c as formerly.
"MUST SAVE RUSSIA"
Kerensky Declares American Capitalists are Losing Russia
Paris, Jan. 11—Russia must be saved from being locked by avaricious American capitalists, Alexander Ker-
*goldfinger* awarded today in an executive interview.
With this objective in view, the former premier called for all anti-Balshvei factions to rally with him put lenin and Trotsky out of position.
"I am organizing here in Paris a civilized government for Russia," Kerenksay said. "You might call it an 'exiled administrator.' We will overthrow the soviet, and one of our first acts upon regaining power will be to make a clean sweep of all Soviet trade agreements."
Next Semester Schedule Will be Ready this Week
The Dean's office of the College announced this morning that the schedules for the spring semester will be at last of this week or the first of next.
Kenneth VaVinnan c24 will leave next Friday for Wichita to have his eyes examined.
They were printed by the state printing plant and promised for delivery yesterday but failed to arrive.
core boxes are finished, they are sent to the foundry. The forms of black sand are pounded into place and the blast furnace is kindled. Alternate charges of coke and iron are poured into the furnace, and the temperature rises. At the end of two hours, to the accompaniment of the roar of the air blast and flying sparks, the molten iron pours from the furnace and is run into the forms. The waste is taken to the cleaning room where every particle of sand is rubbed off in a revolving machine called a "ratter." Just through the open door in the room a bedroom be-goggled student is seen, bending over a grinding tool, immersing parts of the sand coats.
"When the parts are cast," said Mr. Rockland leading up to an airy room crowded with machinery, "they are brought in here, and the students work them into shape on the steel lathes, planers and other machines. Finally the sander will be assembled, and we will have a new and valuable piece of machinery for use in shop work."
The sander is only an example of what is being done every day in Fowler Shops. Several weeks ago an oil pumper was completed and sent for its first test to the oil fields, and installed in the highway engineering laboratory in Marvin Hall.
"Yes," admits the solver of riddles, "you're right." Fowler鞋子 the miniature factory without labor troubles.
Today's Women Taller And Heavier-McKenzie
That women are growing taller and heavier in the opinion of Dr. R. Tait McKenzie director of physiology at the University of Pennsylvania.
He states further that statistics for the last sixty years show that the average college girl of today is an inch taller than the girl of 1800, and that she weighs from six to seven pounds more. These increases, Doctor McKenzie attaches to an added interest in sports and outdoor life.
LUMBER PRICE DOWN
Mills Closing on Account or Surplus Stock
"Iamber prices are lower now than since the armistice," said Boyle. "Prices have been slashed on an average of forty per cent. Stocks of lumber are piling up, and mills are being forced to close. Now is the time to build, if new wage scales can be put into operation. Labor costs represent more than two-thirds of the cost of erecting a building."
Burney Miller, whose performance last night in "Mir. Gorringhe's Necklace," the dramatic club play, was acclaimed as one of the brightest characterizations in the entire production, in receiving praise for real heroism.
Washington, Jan. 11.-More than 40,000 lumber manufacturers and dealers are now in a position to do more than their share in the termination of the nation-wide dwelling shortage, L. C. Boyle, of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, said today. At the same time, justice department officials are conducting a classification of the high lumber prices which are blamed in part for the stoppage of building operations.
Tom F. Schmidt c22 will make business trip to Omaha next week.
Confined in a Kansas City hospital with a severe case of pneumonia, Miller was forced to spend most of his Christmas vacation and the past week in bed. Up until the dress rehearsals for the play, he had attended only one practice since the holiday interim. This was not in the lead discusser but in the actors in the play that several times he was almost too weak to "go on," and would leave the stage practically ex-hausted.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Miller will stay out the present quarter of the School of Law, but expects to leave the University for an extended rest after that.

SPEECHES FEATURE
FOOTBALL BANQUET
Dr. Outland Stars When C. of C.
"Sets 'Em Up" to Team
A HINT IN PHOG'S TALK;
Jayhawker Mentor Indicate Selection of New Gridiron Creek
Coach
A laugh followed every story. In extension of this, it may be said that the stories were all good ones. Earnest attention was paid to the words of the leaders among the business men, and to the leaders in K. U. sport, as they spoke inspired by K. U.'s hones and prospects.
From the first notes of the first song to the last vibration of the whistle that follows a Rock Chalk, the first annual banquet of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, given in honor of the Jayhawk football squad in the Chamber of Commerce rooms at Ninth and Massachusetts street last night, was permitted by the board to business men, students and faculty members.
WON'T COACH FOOTBALL.
The first public expression of Director of Athletics, Forrest C. "Phog" Alman, who assumed the mantle of head football coach for the past season, was heard. His talk included discussion of the right qualifications of the new football coach, as though taking it for granted that he would not serve again in the capacity of football chief, "Phog" reviewed the season's aspirations and told of some of the challenges and moments. No mention was made of any possible candidates for the football coaching job by name.
Dr. John Outland, K U, star in 1863, all-American tackle at Pennsylvania in 1897, and all-American halfback at the same school in 1898, made the principal talk. Dr. Outland is now a prominent Kansas City surgeon, and fies over Mount Ourem in his airplane on business and pleasure trips.
The coaching situation was also discussed by Dr. Outland. Need of the University for a young man, with experience, who would make coaching his life work, and Mount Oread his permanent location was given as the main prerequisite for turning out successful teams. Dr. Outland described Bennie Owen, described by Dr. Outland as the best sport in the world, who went to Oklahoma University, stayed fifteen years, and who now, if he wanted it, could have "half the state." Owen is a K. U. man, and in its only one arm, participates in sports and is successful in coaching.
"We can't win all the time, but we can always be gentlemen." Dr. Outland said in appealing for a clean brand of sportsmanship in all sports. Chancellor Lindley made a short talk near the end of the pep session, urging all possible activities on the part of players and staff to putting over the present apportion bill which goes to the Kansas legislature this week.
CINEMATOGRAPHY
Robert "Pete" Jones, captain of a ninety-foot football team, made a short talk, in writing, that shaped the business men; their material show of support and fine spirit, and promised everything in the power of the squad to turn out a successful football team for next fall. George Nettels, last fall's captain, made a short talk, and H. B. "Bert" Ober, president of the Chamber of Commerce, presided as oastmaster.
NEW CAPTAIN TALKED
The Rev Frank Smith, old K. U. grad and missionary to Japan, gave two solos. W. B. Downing, of the School of Fine Arts led the singing between every course, speech, and announcement, Professor Carl Prever accompaniment for the singing, and Major Harold Berdick led the cheering.
The banquet was a tasty affair, well served, and complete from peanuts, celery, and coffee down to ice cream and cake. The Chamber of Commerce rooms were crowded to their full capacity of about t.o.hundred, of whom more than one hundred were Lawrence business men.

There have been altogether about 35 women graduating from the grad students since the first of December, according to Prof. W. H. Johnson, secretary of the Teacher's Appointment Committee. Many of these vacancies have been filled and there are several definite appointments made and calls for appointments are coming in every day.

"Charlie" Hears Everything From Romance to Philosophy While Customers Get "Shines"
Poo Bah, Lord Hurd *Everything Else and dignitary of high comic opera fame derived a comfortable income from "retailing court secrets at a very low figure." But he missed his calling, for royalty, courts, and their hangers-on will soon be as rare as the proverbal Dodo. Think what a man with the ability to capitalize on what he heard, or overheard could react in an entertaining American shine parlor! Charles Pennett for example.
Mr. Pennell, familiarly known to every student on Mount Oread as "Charlie" the proprietor of such an establishment in Rowland's Annex, Oread street, and though the general public, may not know or notice the fact, yet everyone who has his shoes shined has a tendency to talk shop—or fraternally speaking, talk house—with his friends during the process,
"Everything," Charles replied, explaining however that there are three main divisions in the average conversation: the girls talk about the boys, the boys talk about the girls, and those who claim to be disinterested in either group. Charlie is putting a mirror-like on Marion's petite sues, Marian geldom falls to tell her friend Bernice, exactly what she thinks of the tall, handsome Fly Sig she just met. And later on in the day the selfie Sigma flashes at Bernice so flexibly soLOlizes at great length upon the accomplishments of

a girl named Marian.
"Romance." says Charlie—or words to that effect.
But it is not a newly developed field, Confidences have been exchanged in such emporiums for some time, it seems. We are not told whether Delta operated a sandal shining shop in adjunct to her tonsorial duties or not, but we do know that she talked Samson out of a haircut, shampoo, massage and every political secret that Karl瑟丝 had imparted to his trust.
The professors and instructors, it developet, are less laquious but sometimes they, too, depart from their meditative moods, and then truly Charlie literally sits at the feet of Learning.
January, February and March are the best onths for the shoe shining business, a feet which Charlie ascribes to the weather, as shoes lose their glissary qualities quickly and more frequent attention. But in the Spring the young man's fancy lightly turns to low cuts and lavender hose. Aye there's the rub- or rather there it isn't, for it appears the young man doesn't seem it necessary to have previous months. He seems to rely on the lavender hose to attract attention from the fact that they need it!
"It's interesting work and offers unlimited opportunities to study human nature," Charlie says, "beheses the business of what we do." He hints that the "shinned catered only to young men, but today we have just as many lady customers as men."

Washington, Jan. 11- Secretary of the Navy Daniels, before the house naval affairs committee today, advised President-elect Harding to call a conference of all nations for the con- dition of an agreement for disarmament.
Secretary Daniels Advises Harding to Take Initiative
"Harding should strive for such an agreement," Daniels said, if "the United States is not at once to become a member of the League of Nations." "Until that conformance secures a world agreement," the secretary of state said no question in hiding the ships already authorized by Congress.

GREATEST K. U. GAME
GOING ON IN TOPEKA
Chancellor Lindley Enthusiastic Before Merchants and Football Men Last Night
SCHOOL'S FATE IN BUDGET
"Mandy's" Head Will Fail Before His Heels, Thinks Speaker in Lauding Squad
Dr. Lindsey's speech at the football banquet last night is deemed by the Daily Kansan good enough for a separate story. The Chancellor had just arrived in Lawrence from Topek, where he attended the inauguration of Governor Allen.
The greatest game in the University's history will be played in the next fifty days in Topeka, according to Dr. Lindley. The fate of the University of Kansas hinges on whether Mr. Green will accept the budget as approved by Governor Allen and the State Board of Administration.
"Our part in the game," Dr. Lindsay said, "is to try to put that appropriation over the goal line. With the same determination that characterized that miraculous feat in the last half, we were still fall with Nebraska, it can be done.
ALLEN INTERESTED IN K. U.
ALLERY INTERESTED
The great showing of Kansas an able move to do with the spirit towards K. U., expressed to me in Topek today, than any other incident. When the student body as a whole, and the friends of K. U., be perceived with the same spirit, would be for great things at the University."
Dr. Lindsey told of the satisfaction he felt when, seated at the luncheon table with Governor Allen in Topela Monday, the state executive led him to the playoffs. He was a strong athlete, and finally made the remark to him that "Kansas has had no great leaders for her athletes in the past, such as she has now in 'Ping' Allen."
The man who is to represent K. U.
before the legislature (State Business
Manager J. A. Kimbal) pledged himself
to the Chancellor, according to
Dr. Lindley nest night, that the budg-
get will go before the legislators
point for point as approved by the
State Board of Administration,
the Governor and the Chancellor,
and published the first of this week.
The Chancellor颁了 a tribute to the football men, saying that football calls for brains as much, perhaps, as any other University sport. He also declared that Manville, decribed that his "heels would fail him long before his head did."
K. C. BANKER SLUGGED IN DAYLIGHT HOLDUP
