oted Mezzo-Conralto Gives Second Concert In Gymnasium Monday
Christine Miller Is Given High Rank By Many Impartial Critics
Iogram Mainly In English
I. Comparavely Short Career Miss Miller Has Won Wide P. Jervis
Miss Christine Miller, one of America's foremost concert singers, will appear as the second number of the University Concert Course in Robinson Gymnasium Monday night. Her program will be of a general character. Three of the numbers will be written on the main, she will sing in English.
To those who have heard Miss Miller nothing need be said about the
CHRISTINE MILLER
quality of her mezzo-contra alto voice. Impartial critics in Boston, Chicago, and New York have accorded her a high place in her art.
She has not been known to the musical world many years, but in her comparatively short career she has earned a wide popularity because of her remarkable voice and pleasing personality. The real musical worth of her voice and her sincerity won immediate acclaim. She has been engaged and re-engaged by many orchestras and clubs in America.
Miss Miller is an ideal oratorio singer and has at her command all the standard classic works as well as those of modern writers. Her song repertoire includes the classics and the operas by the European, and American composers.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 14, 1917.
The doors of the concert hall will close promptly at 8:30 o'clock, and those who come late will not be ushered to their seats until the first group of songs is finished. The single admission for the concert is $1.
Kansas Will Run Strong In Cross Country Meet
The K. U. cross country team will run in the Missouri Conference Meet at Manhattan Saturday, in which Missouri, the Kansas Aggies, and Ames will also run. This meet will be the championship for The 1917 season.
The Kansas runners are optimistic as to the outcome of the run, for victories of the past two weeks have given the inexperienced team the necessary confidence. Fred Rodkey believes the boys will make even a better showing than they did in the Manhattan and Oklahoma dual meets.
But though the Kansas team has been successful so far there is still the strong Ames team to reckon with. The K. U. runners, however, are evenly matched, and this is more important in a quadrangular meet than where there is one good runner and several poor ones.
The men who will be entered for Kansas will probably be Ralph Rodkey, Dewall, McCall, Hanna, Coffey, and Brown. This is the team that teamed up that week and practically the same team that won the Manhattan run.
Lantern Slide Lecture Friday
"How Government Aids Food Production Through Reclamation Service" is the timely subject of an illustrated lantern slide lecture to be given by F. H. Newell in Fraser Hall Friday, will also speak on "Cooperation Among Engineers" in Snow Hall Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock.
The Quill Club will meet Thursday night in the rest room in Fraser Hall.
Schwegler Will Speak In Myers Hall Thursday
Prof. R. A. Schwegler will speak to a joint meeting of the University Y.M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. in Myers Hall Thursday at 7:15 o'clock. This is the fifth of a series of talks that Professor Schwegler has given at joint meetings of the two societies. A mixed quartet composed of Leta Ellison, Clara Shurer, Gola Coffeit, and Orlo Holm will sing.
All students are urged to attend these meetings. Since the beginning of compulsory physical exercise for all students attendance at the meetings has fallen off. It is thought, however, that as soon as students become accustomed to their changed schedule of work that the attendance will again reach its former average of 300.
Hold Big Husker Rally Thursday Night Instead Of Friday Convocation
Decision to Have Spontaneous Pep Meeting Instead of Dry Speeches
A big spontaneous rally which will be a record breaker in noise and enthusiasm will be held Thursday night instead of the Friday morning which had been suggested. "It is against the Seventh Council rule," Frida Pereira told reporters today when Cheerleader Rusty Friend asked for a Friday morning rally.
Friend says he is glad that the Friday morning rally did fall through as he thinks that it is not good for the football team. Captain Swede Nielsen and Chancellor Strong also said that an all-school gathering at which speeches praising the team are made, is not good for the team.
the rally will be held Thursday night instead of Friday night as it is difficult to have a successful rally on Friday night. There will be several big bonfires during the event, and there will be big bonfire and yell practice at Fourteenth and Tennessee where the rooters will gather about 9 o'clock. The line of parade will run to the different fraternity and rooming houses. If there are any men, other than them, in best they're liable to be roughly handled," said Cheerleader Friend today. "Therefore I advise the men to be out for the start of the rally." The line of parade of the rooters will run to the different parts of the fire during the evening and boxes and other material for the fire are being gathered this week.
"Every man in school knows the importance of this game and its up to us to come out in a big body Thursday night and show the team that the school is behind the football eleven," said Cheerleader Friend today. "We want to make this the biggest rally of the year."
Sell Food By Weight
Says Professor Bailey
All food products should be sold by weight instead of by the dozen or by the quart, peck or bushel, according to Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, director of the chemical laboratory, who has written an article for the November 17 Bulletin of the State Board of Health. By this method, he presumes that people will receive for the actual four stuffs received, and not for the vacant spots that go to fill the cylindrical measures now used by the grocers.
In Professor Bailey's opinion the bakers may soon be compelled to make half-pound loaves of bread and charge so much a pound, even if pennies must be used in making change. There is already a marked tendency to return to the use of the pennies in the government and it is requested to coin two and half cent pieces to facilitate close figuring and further food conservation.
Eggs, oranges, lemons and bananas,
because of the variations in size,
should be sold by the pound, instead
by the doze. The eggs, potatoes, turnips,
beets, apples, tomatoes, asparagus,
green beans and peas, and even lett-
tles, should be sold by the pound.
Already have a method, Professor Bailey said.
Blackmar, W. Blackmar, of the Graduate School, returned this week from Ames, Iowa, where he has been attending a conference of professors of various Universities. The session was to discuss topics of administration.
Intercollegiate debates will not begin until spring. Prof. Howard T. Hill of the department of public speaking, Temple University are meeting every Wednesday night. Try-outs will be the first of December.
Blackmar Returns From Ames
Tests Made By K. U. Laboratories Result In Closing 51 Wells
Typhoid and Harmful Bacteria Found In Wells of Student District
Others To Be Closed—Last Typhoid patient Is Still Re-
Officials Make New Order
covering
Fifty-one wells were ordered closed by the city officials yesterday as a result of tests made in the University laboratories last week. Practically all these wells were student disks of Massachusetts and south of Tenth Street.
K. U, has spent a great deal of time in testing the water and expects to make further tests on all wells from which water is used by the students. Six others wells are suspected but they are closed until a thorough make is made.
Agitation over this question was started some time ago when Chancellor Frank Strong wrote to Mayor Francisco suggesting needed improvements. The city officials have co-operated in helping the University authorities to bring about these improvements. The only regret is that it was not started sooner before some students contracted the disease.
Typhoid and other harmful bacteria were found in all of the wells and, though in some the bacteria were in small amounts, they were sufficient to warrant closing the wells for further use.
All danger from typhoid is not over however for there are other sources of infection. Students who have not finished taking the inoculations for typhoid should do so at once. Only four women have not returned for the third inoculation, while more than fifty men have not come back.
The last typhoid patient is still recovering and no more cases have been reported to the University hospital. Many colds and minor injuries keep the people at the hospital busy, however. Students are requested to take especial care of colds as they are as contagious as any other disease.
Assortment of Ancient Art Adorns Latin and Greek Recitation Rooms
Collection Brought to University Through Efforts of Professor Wilcox
Send the Daily Kansan home.
The Douglas County Club will meet at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in Fraser Chapel for election of officers.
"I consider this to be the fines recitation room in any of the University buildings," said Prof. M. W. Sterling in speaking of room 264 Fraser Hall, the Greek recitation room. It is a large, well-lighted room, elaborately decorated with number of stairs and other works on it, all peculiarly appropriate for which the room is used.
Room 206, however, contains only a small part of the University's exhibit of ancient Greek art. The collection occupies the Museum proper with its way, and extends into the Greek and Latin reception rooms, which adoin.
Around the top of the north and west wall runs a replica of the east frieze of the Parthenon on the Acropolis at Athens in its modern condition, showing all the ravages of time. On the west wall are eight large photographs of various parts of the Acropolis, and these Professor Sterling said were the best pictures of the subject that could be obtained.
"Our collection of ancient Greek and Roman art ranks high as compared with the collections of other universities," said Professor Sterling, "and the chapel in which he presents good condition must be given to Prof. A. M. Wilcox, the present curator of the Museum. The University had always had a few examples of Grecian art, but when Professor Wilcox came here in 1885 he received an extensive collection. The Museum is used both by the ancient language students and by Professor Brant's classes in architecture and sculpture."
In the corners of the room are natural size casts of famous statues of Sophocles, Demosthenes, Apollo Belvidiere, the Satyr, and the Discobolos, the latter an amphitheatre and maps of various kinds about the room, and a lantern for slide-lectures has been installed.
Two War Relief Fund Campaigns This Week Backed By Y. M. C. A
K. U. Will Attempt to Raise $11,000 Friday and Saturday
American Universities Are Aloted One Dollar For Prison Camp Work
Strong Names Committee
Two separate finance campaigns are being conducted in Lawrence this week. One is a part of the campaign to raise 35 million dollars for war work from cities, towns and county schools, including colleges and universities.
The other is a campaign which will be carried on Friday and Saturday morning of this week at the University to raise $11,000, K. U.'s share of the million goal set for American universities.
Both funds are for war work in the prison camps and trenches across the sea not only among the American soldiers but with all allied troops.
Three professors have been appointed on the committee to attend to the campaign in the University, Chancellor Strong appointed Prof. G.C. Shaad, Prof.J. N. Van der Vries and Prof.C. C. Williams yesterday on the committee. These men will have entire charge of the promotion force which will solicit funds among students.
"I wish to make it plain," said the Chancellor this morning, "that this is in no sense a Y. M. C. A. campaign in the literal sense of the term. It is a war proposition to help the morale of the army. The Y. M. C. A. is the only international institution which is allowed to work in all prison camps. Therefore the United States turned its support to the association. But the people of the United States are raising the money on their own free will. It is their duty to do so."
HARRY WAY
The committee is meeting this afternoon with leaders of all organizations to explain all necessary details. Harry White, international Y. M. C. A. worker will be in Lawrence Friday to talk to students and faculty of the University of the work. Mr. White has seen active service as a Y. M. C. A. secretary near the front line trenches.

It's Little Economies That Count, Templin
Students should economize more on the little things of every-day life, believes Olin Templin, Dean of the College. He thinks that perhaps we do notill realize and understand what economic situations may help aid the general situation.
"Ordinarily," explained Dean Tempin, "the supply is conditioned by the demand. That is, the demand for a certain article creates a supply of it. But that is not true now. This country is in an extraordinary situation because of the war. Supply is necessarily constant now—no matter what the demand. Some one, must do without.
without. For instance he explains, "If I go without a haircut for a week longer than I had intended, I am helping that much, for now the supply of barbers is limited, some of them have gone to war, so I save time, labor, and capital. And the more capital is saved the most Liberty Bonds can be bought and Liberty Bonds help the United States to win the war."
And so it goes. "Ordinarily a person is not interested in his fellowman's personal expenditure or economies, but now it has become a national problem and we must realize that each person's smallest economies are that much help to the world at arge."

Former Lawrence Man
Found Dead Near Wichita
The Reverend Walter M. Eastman, A. B.12., was found dead near Wichita with a bullet hole just below his heart, by a hunter late Tuesday evening. The cause of the tragedy is unknown. He was the minister in charge of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church of Wichita.
While in the University, the Rev erend Eastman was connected with the musical activities, being a vocalist. He was especially interested in chemistry. He is survived by his parent's name, H. Eastman o 1220 Ohio Street.
The body will be brought to Lawrence this afternoon. No funeral ar ranglements have been made.
Plain Tales From The Hill
Miss Senior stood before the case in the hall of Spooner Library. She gazed upon the portrait of deposed Premier Kerensky. The thought of her passing brought great emotion, and she sighed sympathetically: "The poor old bean."
Here's what we'll hear next fall:
'E: Kowoski zakovitch unski ski-
vitch.
'Er: Insane?
It: Oh, no. He's just taking the new course in Russian.
Girls, don't lose hopes for a while at least. Dates are not nearly so scarce on this Hill as is supposed. Why, one fair damselfish who lives in the same town, might actually filled three dates in the same night—and a week night at that!
The women are knitting now at every opportunity. They knit in the bails between classes, at lectures, at concerts, and (if the professor is sufficiently patriotic) they knit in class. Next thing they will be knitting in church—even in staid old Lawrence. But they're not all.
A girl visitor appeared on the Hill yesterday, wearing home-knife hose. The question before the house, ladies and gentlemen is, "What kind of K-U, K-U, women begin to knit stockings for themselves instead of socks for soldiers?"
And still they are telling things that happened in connection with the lecture of Rabbi Wihe. The latest is concerned with his rhetorical question, "Shall we make peace with the Kaiser?" It seems that a girl in the university answered it in a vehement whisper: "No, we'll make pieces of the Kaiser!"
In Chemistry
First Fibbert: "Did you get a solution of that problem?"
Second Same: "Yes, but it's pretty weak."
The spirit of brotherly love and co-operation which holds swamy among the engineers is beautiful to behold.
Witness the case of one member of the school who went to Kansas City recently on a shopping expedition. He made several more purchases than he intended and also fed his face quite considerably (in spite of the teachings of Mr. Hoover), and food costs money in K.C. But in spite of his seeming extravagance, the engineered experience is sufficient for his return carefare. He bought his ticket and boarded the interurban bankrupt.
Along came the conductor. "City fare of five cents wanted in addition to your ticket," said he, and in the mind of the poor of the city, dreary walk through the stock yards to the city limits. The insolvent one gazed agonizingly about the car. Ah, there sat a brother engineer! It took only a moment to negotiate the loan, and the jitney tricker was handed over to the conductor.
Call the Sheriff!
Up in the Kansas市 this morning the phone rang furiously. "Lawson May? No, he isn't here," said the news editor. "Well," said the man on a call line, "as soon as he comes in have him the call iff of Douglas County."
Now the first engineer brags about the fraternal spirit of his school.
No. Lawson hasn't been, violating the Bone Dry law or stealing silver. He was wanted as a witness—along with Fred Pribble and Leon Axel and Harley Holden and a dozen other men. Last year the Achooth's little pet dachund was cruelly killed by a baker boy who drove right over the poor thing, and the Achooths are suing him for damages. The aforementioned K. U. students were innocent bystanders in a rage that ignited summons from the sheriff to appear in cobb and testify anent the crime.
The Electricals in the School of Engineering have received a new brush testing machine. The machine is used to test the mechanical and electrical qualities of carbon brushes for motors and dynamos.
Seat Sale for Husker Game Points to Record Crowd at Annual Clash
Already 6,000 Tickets Have Been Sold—Many Disposed Of In Lincoln
Add 2,000 Seats to McCook
Friday
Call For 100 Ushers Brings Many Replies—Tryouts
MAY BREAK RECORD
These ticket sales do not include sales of any of the tickets sent to Vebraksa or to Kansas City. One thousand dollars worth of tickets were sent to Lincoln, and twenty-two dollars worth were sent to Kansas City.
Advance sales of tickets for the Kansas-Nebraska game have already passed the $8000 mark according to Coach W. O. Hamilton. More than half of the worth of tickets have been ordered by mail, and orders are still coming in.
Sales are still going strong and Manager Hamilton expects the proceeds of the game to equal or surpass the proceeds of the game two years ago when the returns exceeded $17,000. All but about fifty seats in the rooters' section have been sold. Manager Hamilton is expecting the largest attendance in the history of the school if the weather is good.
All seats except those in section R in the west bleachers have been reserved. These will be given to holders of student enterprise tickets who do not care to pay an extra dollar to have seats reserved.
PUT IN EXTRA SEATS
The Kangas rooters' section will cover the entire south bleachers. The Nebraska section will be in the center of the north bleachers.
A force of workmen began the work of putting in 2,112 box seats in McCook Field this morning. The K. U. Band will be located in front of the rooters' section. It is likely that the Nebraska Band will be here. If so it will be in front of the Nebraska section.
Mr. Hamilton is asking all students holding tickets for the south bleachers, west bleachers and west boxes to come to the field by way of the cinder walk north of the tennis courts. Those holding tickets for the north bleachers and the north boxes are asked to come to the field by way of the walk which leads from Mississippi Street along McCook Avenue.
PARK CARS ON GOLF LINES
Good accommodations will be furnished the crowd for leaving the field.
Once everyone has made the ten-seventh passage away by which spectators may leave, enabling everyone to get out in ten or fifteen minutes.
No cars will be admitted to the grounds, but may be parked near the field. The golf links may be used free, or visitors may park on the grounds. The guard will be furnished and a fee of twenty-five cents will be charged.
One hundred ushers will be used or seating the crowd. The freshmen layers and the boys of the Lawrence are the best, the oxes, but others will be needed.
Mr. Hamilton is calling for extra men who wish to usher in return for their admission. Mr. Cook Field for assignment and instruction Friday at 5 o'clock. No one will be accepted who does not report at that hour. The department will be promptly in order that men who wish to usher may report at the field.
