HOOVER LOSING OUT
Johnson's Supporters Say The Will Get Former Food Director's Votes
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 15, 1920.
(By Harold Jacobs United Press Staff Correspondent.)
New York April 15—Supporters of Senator Hiram Johnson and Major General Leonard Wood claim that the Illinois primary, in which Herbert Hoover was not entered practically eliminated the latter for the Republican nomination. Here is the way they figure it out:
The Johnson group here says that when Hoover declared his allegiance, to the Republican party he not only won but also lost that of the liberals. This latter organization, according to the Johnson organization, has transferred its support to the leading laborers of the two cities in nations namely, Johnson and McAdoo.
Johnson and Hoover had relatively the same status in the Illinois primary, in that neither made a campaign in the state nor was named on the ballot. Johnson received more than 50,000 writes written in, while Hoover polled about 5,000. This indicated, in the end, that Hoover's strength on Hoover with whom he will contest in California, Oregon and Montana.
Wood's campaign leaders will not admit the claims but contest that. Hoover showing in Illinois is a serious blow.
K. U. Graduate Employs Men for Cleveland Store
Murray Hill. A, B. '04. A, M. '07, i in Lawrence for a two-week visit. Mr. Hill was formerly English instructor at the Western Reserve College and has held positions in several other schools. He is now employed by one of the largest department stores in Ohio, as employment director.
Mr. Hill said that it is more difficult now than over before to get and keep labor. He stated that it was not an unusual occurrence to employ men one at a time, so the rest of the job. The labor turn-over of the case is 118 per cent a year.
Extraordinary Bird Is Only a Mud Hen
When is a coot not a coot? When it's a mud-hen.
This remarkable ornithological discovery was recently made by a reporter on the Kansan.
Prof. H. W. Humble came on the Hill the other morning carrying a strange and beautiful bird, somewhat like a duck, with shining pink eyes, marvelous green and gray plumage that would make him stand out among servers and according to Professor Humble's statement, he was in possession of very extraordinary bird sidelom seen in this part of the country. All honor is one young Jimmy Humble who captured it in Humble's basement thus effecting its capture.
This坦, Professor Humble said, was a coot, and everyone felt that they were indeed fortunate to have the rare opportunity of seeing one. He was in the hands of the Museum to be made up and presented as a specimen.
This morning a reporter braved the cabinets full of bottled snacks and passed closed doors upon hair-raising possibilities to reach the sanctum sanctorum where the wonderful bird still lives in captivity, only to come away, sadder and wiser. For there was there a white-coated gentleman with emphasis and an assurance against which there could be no appeal;
"Well, I don't know anything about a coot. This may be one all right—but the common name for it is mud hen."
HOLD BENEFIT BAZAAR FOR NEW CO-OP HOUSE
W. A. A. Committee to Hava Supervision Over Affairs Friday and Saturday
The bazar which is to be given this week to aid in purchasing another University Co-operative House will start Friday afternoon and continue Friday evening and all day Saturday, in the Dodge Brothers show rooms, next to the Masonic Temple. The bazar is under the supervision of Ruth Trout, Laurie consistence of Ruth Trout, Laurie and Marie Shakele, assisted by a committee of Lawrence club women, Mrs. Wm. Taylor, Mrs. J. Gordon Gibb and Mrs. Alfred Sluss, and the rooming house committee.
All the regular features of bazaars will be found at this time, as well as some others. There will be a refreshment booth, one for refreshments, one for hircabrac and furniture, and several for amusement. Contributions have been made by Lawrence ladies and University students to fill these booths so that the proceeds will go almost whole for fund a new co-operative house.
The need for another co-operative house has been realized by the rooming house committee, and this means is taken to help procure one. After the cooperative houses are once established they become entirely self-supporting. Miss Fina Ott A, B, A'15, who is Y. W. C. A. accredited at Amnesia, that co-operative have been a success there and expresses her hope that they will be firmly, established here. The housing committee of the Alumni of the University will have charge of buying the new house.

Dean Blackmar Explains Housing Situation to Y. M. Noonday Luncheon Club
STUDENT COMMITTEE TO BE NAMED FRIDAY
The housing proposition was presented at the noon luncheon of the Y. M. C. A. today by Dean Frank W. Blackman chairman of the committee. An effort will be made to get a large number of the student bodies in the university familiar from the University than has here been the practice.
The most important work of the Lawrence Housing committee's campaign and survey is to get the citizens to realize the serious student rooming shortage for next year according to Dean Blackmar. Prof. E. Smith of the university of sociology is **a charge of the survey.**
There is every reason to believe that nearly 500 students will come to the University next fall and will leave again before entering because of the room shortage here Professor Smith said today.
In Emporia last summer, 1,000 more students went to the Kansas State Normal than had ever been there before and the city of Emporia was faced with such a housing shortage as Lawrence faces at present. Professor Smith was an instructor at the Normal at the time. There the proposition was made that the business men actually rented rooms themselves and then took care of varying numbers of students.
Exactly the same condition confronts the city of Lawrence at present and he believes the citizens here will handle the situation in a like manner. The personnel of the University student workers and the police will be used to prescribe citizen committees will be announced tomorrow he said. A house to house canvases of the city will be made.

BANQUET IN HONOR OF "DADDY" HAWORTH
Dr. Bradley Stoughton Gives Toast on Present World Economic Condition
The second annual Miner's 'and Geologists' banquet was held Tuesday evening at the Eldridge Hotel. The banquet this year was in honor of "Daddy" Haworth who recently resigned from the University faculty after twenty-six years of service as head of the department of geology, Prof. C. M. Young; of the department of geology, was the toastmaster of the evening.
In a toast on "The New Economic Phase into Which Our Country Has Entered as a Result of the War," Bradley Stoughton, Secretary of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, gave four general economic conditions in which every country finds itself.
"In the first phase," he said, "the country only imports capital and exports nothing; in the second phase the country's resources have been developed and exports are started; in the third phase they do enough sniffing and smelling, to supply its own needs and to export. This is the stake into which our country had come previous to the war. The fourth stage is that in which the country's income is so much more than it has use, for that it can have large shares of capital. It is into this last stage that we have entered as a result of the war."
Other toasts were given by Paul Holland, c'21, on "Appeitie"; Dwinthrop P. Haynes on "Volcanic Intrusional"; and "Daddy" Haworth on "The Great Wall." Ross Walters, c'20, substituted externally for an absent speaker.
Berlin, March 21. (By Mail).—The earlier theory that Germany was stocked up with an enormous quantity of goods for export at laughably low prices—got a knockout blow in the recent Leipzig Messe, or fair.
Manufacturing Capacity Is Limited in Germany
American buyers and others attended the display in larger numbers, and were shown things in glass, toys, in porcelain and so on, but when it came to buying real trade items they were simply out of luck.
One thing, however, that did impress the visitors was the fact that the prices are high—the government won't let goods go out unless they corrode and become raven rates—and that the German no longer is taking the risk on delivery.
Several men members of the senior class met this morning at 8:30 a.m. and discussed the cost of caps and gowns for the senior class.
"Yes, they took a lot of orders down there," said an American business man returning, "but they took them with little prospect of seasonable delivery and with the added proviso that we would be at prices as on the day of delivery."
Seniors Meet to Discuss Cap and Gown Question
This man's experience was the experience of many others as related to the correspondent.
A senior mass meeting has been called at 12:30 o'clock in Fraser Chapel Friday noon to act on the cap and gown question. The person who have called the meeting call themselves "The square deal committee."

IVES TALK TO MINERS
Stoughton Tells Engineers of Personal Service to Community
Dr Bradley Stoughton, secretary of the American Institute for Mining Engineers, talked to the engineers Tuesday morning on the subject. He told them about mining conditions. He spoke of the conditions which brought about greater consideration of those elements which make engineering a part of the life of a country.
Doctor Stougton dwell especially on the fact that it was coming to be realized that the engineers were the men who will be depended upon to bring about industrial changes and development of the country. He urged the engineers to realize the field before them and take a more active part in personal service, to know the people they worked with and know how to support their work could be done. He defined "Imman engineering as the carrying on of projects that have to do with the needs of society.
In his advice to the men Doctor Stoughton said, "Young engineers just getting into work should develop themselves not only in technique but get into the lives of people around them by teaching them and learning from them."

Shimmie Universal; Insects Adopting I
Portland, Ire. March 11—How can anyone be blamed for the shimmy when even a cockroach can't resist it in the face of jazzy music!
Dr. Helen Clark, head of the Reed College psychology department here, is authority for the statement the shimmie is fast becoming the popular song of her school and has proved to her students that soft, tuneful music sends a healthy cockroach into an emotional trance which finds expression in a rythmic dance. And high strains produce an ecstatic mood which has every semblance of the shimmie.
Similar results were observed in the angle worm, which wrigged and "shivered" in perfect cadence with a popular dance step.

"Into your hands in a few days will be thrust the torch of civilization. Everything will be in your hands. Your problem will be to keep it aloft and not to blow it up. It has been one thousand years since civilization was in such dire peril as now. The world heeds lots of men. The kind that is spelled with a capital M. to go out in the sense of the torch bearer. Young men, I challenge you to grow into a much more muscular type of life that stands for services," udder Mr. Schwegler.
