RED CROSS WORKER ACTIVE WITH HOWAT
Stolberg, Red Cross Man at University Recently, Speaks at Pittsburg
Is a "World War Veteran"
Organization is Said to be Opposed to American Legion
Protests against the activities of Benjamin Stolberg, Red Cross worker, who conducted the field work of the Red Cross Institute recently held in the University of Kansas, in the Pittsburg, district have been received by the Eli F. Dorsey Post of the University. A former student of the University, and a member of the local American Legion post, reads as follows:
"At any rate, our Lawrence 'friend' Benjamin Stolberg, came down here under the guise of investigating the sociological conditions in this district. Stolberg took occasion last Sunday at the Howat demonstration meeting at Franklin seven miles from Boston and he was on World War, Veterans, whom I am told are headed by a man who was never even in the service, have already complimented our 'leading citizen', Mr. Howat on his defiance of
"One of your Lawrence friends—he must be quite a friend of the Eli Dorsey post, for he is working in the interests of the World War Veterans—was in our village Sunday and yessiday having patriotic talks with Alexander Howat, who has put Pitt-sons' book to the press this week by saying that a law is not a law unless he, Howat, puts his O. K. on it.
be Industrial court law. It would be inapparently easy for the Veterans Administration to platform and injure the Legion a great deal. A man like Stolberh has no business on the faculty of the University of Kansas. The matter was taken up with the Governor to send it to the State officials here.
According to Mahon Weed, Commander of the Logion post in Lawrence, the World War Veterans organization is nothing more nor less than a group that is trying to fight the American Logion by telling² the union men that the Logion is against labor. Weed says that a national leader of the organization was arrested and it was found that he had never been in the service.
The World War Veterans held a convention recently and in that convention' discussed their choice for president of the United States. The only man reported considered were George Debbs, who is serving a term for violation of the espionage act. Senator La Follette of Wisconsin.
MANY H. S. ATHLETES ENTER ANNUAL MEFT
NUMBER 137.
"A reply was sent to the letter from Pittsburgh stating that Stolberg had never been a member of the faculty at the university, and were one as soon as the six weeks course in Red Cross work which he was conducting was over," said Mahon Weel. "The Red Cross has also been involved in the activities of its representative."

The letter according to Chancellor Strong was very positive in its wording that it was not the policy of the Moore Company to charge the debt of the company acted business with any loss due to the individual members of the class.
They, however, stated that they would expect all possible help from the committee in locating any missing caps and gowns, but as the caws and gowns are sent to individuals rather than to the committee as a whole, and with the individual's name on the person, it was necessary the person to when the cap and gown was addressed to for any loss or damage done the articles of annare

Army Togs Predominate At Old Clothes Dance
Old clothes predominate at the W. S. G. A. dance. The men appearing generally in army clothes as a compromise between impossible overalls and regular dresses were ginghams and volves and kept the scene harmonious. Except for the fact that there were more men than women the dance was a success while still being preeminently sensitized to the opinion of those who attended.
Will Old Clothes Jinx the Spooning?
The old clothes movement has great possibilities for the near-poverty stricken university students. Besides reducing the high cost of living, it is likely to cut down the high cost of loving.
When the stalkwart sons of Western Kansas don’t their overalls and high boots, they may think that they are back on the farm and will forget the shoes. In an event what fair Kansas Citizen would design to be seen with them?
As for the fellows who have gone back into army clothes, one ex-officer was heard to remark. "The uniform has certainly lost its charm to the fair sex. They don't fail a bit." So apparently apparently欠它 a thing on overalls.
On the other hand, suppose our milk-fed vamps from the prairies of Kansas should discard their Parisian gowns and go back to the gingham dress and sunbonnet? Would they lose their charm to the social proteges of the University? And who can say what would happen if the women put on overalls and jumpers. K. U. would become a girl's school.
Anyway there are great possibili ties in the old clothes movement,
