CAPACITY HOUSE GREETED NOYES
Chapel Filled to Overflowing by Admirers of Foremost English Poet
GAVE A VARIED PROGRAM
Vast Audience Responded Most Heartily to "The Forty Singing Seamen"
Alfred Noyes found an interester audience waiting him when he entered Fraser Chapel yesterday afternoon to begin his lecture. By four o'clock the chapel was full up to the front seats and back to standing room in the balcony. Persons who hoped to see a typical poet were disappointed for there was nothing about the appearance of the man whom Dr. W. L. Burdick introduced to distinguish him from other men. No traces of the so-called artistic temperament were discussed by Mr. Noyes to add to the audience and moved the electric light which bothered him nor was there anything peculiar about his full distinct voice except a slight English accent.
Mr. Noyes chose to give a varial program, of the eight poems he read from memory, it is difficult to select the favorite although the audience seemed to respond a trifle more heartily to "The Forty Singing Seamen," a fanciful tale in which is asked the question "Could the grog we dreamt we swallowed make us dream of all that followed?"
"THE BARREL ORGAN" OPTIMISTIC Another favorite, "the Barrel Organ" wherein the common unpetal experiences of life in the London Underground rhythm and beautiful lyric. It is said that Mr. Noyes' philosophy of life is as optimistic as the note struck in "The Barrel Organ" well shows. Among his other readings were: "The Admiral's Ghost," "The Search Light," "The Rise of the Man," "The Old Gray Squirrel," and "The Lord of Misture."
Mr. Noyes insists that he is neutral.
He admitted, however, that the poem "The Search Light" is an answer to a philosophy neither English, French nor American; the theme of which is that private morality differs from political morality in that there is a power that utilizes units but none superior to the state.
Mr. Noyes, who is visiting lecturers for Princeton University, arrived Kensington at the city-thirty of duck being to the city where he spoke last night.
EMPHASIZES RHYTHMIC BEAUTY Mr. Noyes' poetry is free from p诔etic and inversions with no lack of adherence to the laws of verisification. He delivers his poems forcefully without dramatic elocutioning and emphasizes the rhythmic beauty of the poetry.
KANSAS CITY CLUB WINS
"The object of poets for the last fifty years," Mr. Noyes explained, has been to teach poets the proper order and not to use poetic license in complicating lines of verse.
The Wyandotte Club, a boys' organization in Kansas City, Kansas, is winner of the $100.00 prize offered by John A. Edwards, of Eureka, formerly a member of the Kansas legislature and author of the anti-cigarette law. This offer was made through the Child Welfare Department of the University to the boys' organization that would make the showing in a campaign against the cigarette enforcement was this morning by Wm. A. McKeever, head of the Child Welfare Department.
Mrs. George J. Stine of Kansas City, Kansas, directed the work of the winning club and has written a detailed account of her organization and supervision of the work of the Professor McKeever, telling especially of the work in the anti-cigarette campaign.
Award $100 Prize to Wyandotte County Boys
"The money will not be paid until we can determine the winner of the second prize of the Montreal Marathon." "Marysville and Altapton are running close for this place."

EVANS WRITES THIRD ARTICLE
rells About Magazine Making in the "Nation's Business."
Business."
Prof. J. W. Evans of the department of journalism, contributed the leading article for the January number of the "Nation's Business," edited by Merle Thorpe, former professor of journalism in the University.
"The Making of a Magazine," tells the story of the Curtis Company at whose head is Cyrus H. K. Curtis, the founder of the "Ladies Home Journals," and Saturday Evening Post," and the publisher of "The Country Gentleman."
"The Curtis idea of service has developed into commercial research which marks the beginning of a business epoch, based upon a positive service of advertising and distribution of goods. There is also a league of Curtis salesmen which supplies to a large number of young boys a preliminary training in business values and a sense of personal responsibility.
"The success of the Curtis publications," said Professor Evans, "is due to the fact that the editorial skill and business acumen are based on the practical working condition that the thing most desired by the world is
NUMBER 81.
"This idea of service is typical to a greater or lesser degree of the many publications of the country whose purpose is to serve the public."

Joint Ways and Means Committee Kindly Toward Board's Recommendations
K. U. FAVORABLE IN LEGISLATURE
H. C. L. HITS UNIVERSITY
The "Hill" Not Immune From Effect of Rising Prices
That the University stands well with the joint Ways and Means Committee of the state legislature is shown in the report, which reached Lawrence this morning, of the meeting of the Board of Administration, the presidents of the committee last night and the committee last night. Members of the Ways and Means Committee of each house are impressed with the needs of the University, this report says. The manner in which the recommendations of the Board and Chancellor Strong were approved for appropriations for the school will be reported favorably to the legislature by the committee.
The University this year is asking about $750,000 for general maintenance. The expenses of the school will increase in former years owing to the necessity of increasing the salaries of many faculty members. This increase in salaries was recommended by the efficiency and economy department of the first of this week, owing to the increase in the cost of living.
In addition to general maintenance, the University is asking $150.000 to complete the central portion of the Administration building, and $200,000 for the erection of a new Fine Arts auditorium.
ASK FOR $350,000
The foundation for the Administration building has been laid several years. Should the appropriation for a new Fine Arts building be allowed, the plans for future buildings will be erected across the way from the School of Engineering.
VIEW APPROPRIATION KINDLY
"There seems a general tendency, on the part of members of the legislature this year to view favorably the requests of the various state institutions for appropriations, declared a University man, recently who visited the legislature. "There is none of the friction between the two states that has characterized the legislature of two years ago, and members of both houses display a favorable attitude toward the requests of state institutions."
The Weather
The State Agricultural college, in addition to its appropriation for general maintenance is asking for an addition to one of its buildings and for the purchase of several hundred acres of land.
WHY IS A THUMB-BOX?
Partly cloudy tonight and Saturday, probably rain or snow in southeast portion, colder Saturday.
Sketches in Administration Building Are the Answer
Thumb-box sketches are *small oil paintings*, but the thumb-box part of the name is what perplexed a reporter when he went to see the exhibit of sketches which are being shown on the floor of Administration Building.
Beginning February 1, a collection of oil paintings by American artists will be shown. This exhibition, which has been assembled by the American Artists Institute, is now being shown at the Fine Arts Institute in Kansas City.
The Hattie Elizabeth Lewis prize essay of 1916 has just been published and eight hundred copies are at the Registrar's office for distribution. The winner of the prize was Ralph W. Nelson, c'16, and the title of the essay, "How Christ Would Organize the World."
FINE ARTS MOVE TO BETTER HOME
What can you do for the answer? Here it is. When a painter wishes to hike to the hills or woods to work, his ordinary paraphernalia is too cumbersome to carry with him, and this is where the thumb-box solves the difficulty. The artist's tool for artist's materials. In the bottom is a small hole for the artist's thumb which furnishes the support for the box. The lid of the box holds the canvas, and when open the canvas is in correct position for work. When the artist has hiked to the woods, all must be laid out on the log, arrange the little box on his thumb, open the lid, and he is ready 'o' paint.
The collection of thirty paintings is valued at $60,000.
Artists May be Found After Wednesday at 1406 Tennessee

North College on Retired List Following Half Century of Service
The School of Fine Arts is packing its bag, and by Wednesday North College will be left to the bats and owls. A lease for one year of the house at 1406 Tennessee was signed today and immediately the department began preparations for the move.
John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds, is in Topeka today securing the signatures of the members of the Board of Administration for the lease. Chancellor Strong has signed it, and the first truck load of furniture probably will be carried to the house tomorrow.
26.14.13
Professor Downing, of the department, said this morning that everything would be ready for work next Wednesday.
North College, probably will not be razed, but will remain a monument to the founding of the University. It was there the first classes of the school were held fifty years ago, and in continuous use, since that time.
COMMITTEE FAVORS BUILDING
The University this year is requesting the legislature for an appropriation of $20,000 for the Fine Arts building, to be commissioned in immense auditorium, capable of seating the entire student body.
At a meeting of the Board of Administration and Chancellor Strong with the joint Ways and Means Committee at Topeka yesterday, this request was defended, and it is understood the committee favors the addition of the building to the campus.

THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH
Kansas Temperance Unions Mission is Completed
The Kansas State Temperance Union which has been a big factor in bringing about prohibition in Kansas has passed away. Yesterday in Topeka at a meeting of the Union and the Anti-Saulon League, the former organization turned over all its assets and business to the latter organiza-
The Kansas State Temperance Union was organized in 1866 and for 50 years has battled against the liquor advocates to make Kansas dry. Now that their mission has been filled they are turning over the work of national prohibition to the Anti-Saloon League which will aim its fight in that direction. The members must become members of the Anti-Saloon League but they have pledged to help in securing national prohibition.
Governor Capper and Mrs. Mary Sibbitt of Wichita were the principal speakers of the meeting. Governor Capper expressed the opinion "that the nation would go as dry as a bone on the desert by 1920."

BOOK EXCHANGE TO OPEN FRIDAY
Name of Student and Price Should be Put in Texts to be Sold
The managers of the exchange are chosen from the Men's Student Council. Neal Ireland, formerly of K. U., obtained the sanction of the University authorities and the university established the co-operative book-exchange on a paying financial basis. The exchange handled more than $500 worth of books the first year. The sale of books last fall amounted to about $1 million on account of the large number of changes in text-books.
The co-operative student book-exchange will open for business in Fraser Hall, Friday, William Wilson and Walter Raymond, the managers. announced this morning. Nearly $1,000 worth of books will be sold before the next semester opens, the managers say, if texts are not changed and the purchase of new books necessitated.
Students should bring books they desire to sell to the stand in Fraser. The owner's name and the price of the book should be written on the first page. All transactions are made by the men in charge of the exchange, and the money is paid over to the students minus ten per cent commission, which the council charges for handling the books.
ACQUAINT FRESHMEN WITH ACTIVITIES OF ENGINEERS
Dean P. F. Walker, of the School of Engineering, who has been giving a series of lectures to the freshmen engineers, will bring before the freshmen the nature and features of activities at the meeting tomorrow.
Dean Walker has arranged to have eight seniors, representing the several organizations of the Engineering School, give short talks to the freshmen. Alfred Wieters, president of the engineers, Chas. Sloan, editor of the Kansas Engineer, Joe Gunnels, president of the civil society, Charles Hagenbuch, present of the faculty, Ferdinand Foer, of the electricals, Carol Wakenthul of the miners, E. L. Rofls of the architects, and James Holden of the chemicals will enlighten the freshmen on interests of their respective organizations.
John A. Devlin, '02, principal of the Fort Scott High School, has given the department of chemistry the volumes of the "Voumen" of American chemical history, for the last six years. The books are of value to the chemical library.
DAILY HEALTH HINTS By the University Health Committee
To break the force of a cold, begin treatment when the first sign is noticeed. Take a brisk purge,—not the attenuated, weak-kneed, habit-forming kind sold under fancy names, but castor oil, or citrate of magnolia, or calomel followed by epsom salts. A hot foot bath, lasting twenty minutes, and a drink of hot lemonade, or hot linsseed tea, should be given.
After taking the bath, the patient should go directly to bed.
While there is fever, liquid food, and not much of it, should be given. Medical treatment by a physician can always mitigate and shorten the duration of a cold. If there is severe headache, earache, faceache, sore throat, pain in the chest, blood-streaked expectoration, or high fever, there should be no delay in calling a physician.
The nose and throat may be treated occasionally with a mild menthol-and-oil spray. Neck and chest and noses may be rubbed with camphorated oil.
Avoid giving your cold to others cover up each cough and sneeze.
Make up your mind never to have another cold; every sick man is a liar. The community, be hurts business and assess the prosperity of the country.
KANSAS DAZZLES AMES, 30 TO 13
Jayhawker Attack in Second Half Swept Ames Aside, 19 to 4
ENTIRE TEAM STARRED
Scrubby Laslett Played Heady Game at Guard—Second Game Tonight
The two teams played openly during the first half of the battle. Ames had held Kansas to low score although Kansas had excelled in teamwork in good. The score at the end of this half was 11 to 19 in favor of Kansas.
BEWILDERED THE FARMERS
But Kansas "hit" in the second half.
Laslett, Gibbens, and Nelson connected with the basket at wrist, piling it into the net in the second period. The flappy shot by Kansas team has never been surpassed on the Ames court, according to dispatches received here this morning.
Playing a sensational brand of basketball, the Jayhawker quintet swept the Ames Aggies off their feet in the first conference game of the season last night on the Ames court, timing by 30 the one-sided score of 103. The Kansas team played flashy ball, hitting the basket at all times with ease.
LASLETT A FIND
"All the men played well," says Coach Hamilton in a telegram to the Daily Kansan. "The Kansas teamwork in the second half dazzled the Ames team and crowd, a fast, fast, fast. Playing played the entire half. Scrubby the star of the game on floor work and goal shooting. However, it was hard to pick a star on the Kansas team because all five men starred."
The seventeen-point margin of the Kansas quintet over the Ames five came as a surprise to most of the

WOMEN TO PLAY FINALS SATURDAY
Freshmen and Juniors Play for W. A. Title—Seniors Meet Sophs
The finals of the women's interclass basketball series will be played Saturday night when the freshmen meet the juniors in Robinson Gymnasium. The sophomore and senior teams will have the same time for cellar boners.
The games are scheduled for 7:15. The freshmen and juniors will play one half and then rest while the sophomores and seniors play.
The championship game promises to be the best of the series, according to Coach Hazel Pratt. The freshmen have been showing classy teamwork, and they expect to make the juniors play their best game to win. Captain Hale and his teammates, a jumping center, and Katherine Orelup, a guard, have shown well for the freshmen and are expected to star against the juniors.
The juniors are the favorites, owing to the fact that every member on the team, with the exception of one guard, has played two years. Captain Dorothy Tucker, a running center, with Dorothy Querfield and Joyce Brown, forwards, form one of the best scoring machines of any of the teams.
The sophomore-senior game will also be interesting as the teams are evenly matched. Several new players have been trying for the sophomore team, but they aren't sure if the new players continue to show well. Ruth Faris, a forward with unusual ability to connect with the basket, is expected to make a big score against the seniors. Margaret McElvain, a jumping center, Miriam Jones, a center, and Cora Shim, forward, have done good work for the seniors.
The winner of the freshman-junior game will be awarded a silver loving cup presented by the athletic association.
The games are for women only, and the admission will be a Woman's Athletic Association ticket or twenty-five cents.
Those desiring to take the examinations for entrance credits at this time should see Pref. E. F. Stimpson at Room 202, Blake Hall, without fall before Saturday night. There are no scheduled times for these examinations, and a special time must be arranged. If there is more than one who wishes to take the same examination, Professor Stimpson wishes to have all take it at the same time. This will be the last opportunity to take an examination for entrance credits before the end of the second semester.
