CONVENTION MAY HALT NEW BILL
Permanent Income Measure to be in New Constitution if Meet is Called
The Permanent Income Bill may not be introduced in the coming legislature meeting at Topeka if the committee meeting today in Topeka results in a Constitutional convention. This convention will probably adopt new law into the state constitution without making it an amendment to it.
There is sentiment in favor of the Income Bill and there seems to be no doubt as to its adoption as part of the Constitution, and has been attended at the constitutional convention.
Governor Capper is the head of the committee, which is considering the matter today. Prof. F. W. Blackmar is a member of this committee. All proposed amendments to the constitution that come up this session will be taken care of by the proposed convention, and the amendments need not be introduced if the convention meets.
DAILY HEALTH HINTS
At this season of the year, colds and epidemic gripe spread like wildfire among the students. Lectures and recitations are interrupted by choruses of coughs and sneezes. Whole households are suffering with coughs and colds, because one careless member has infected the rest.
Every winter there is a tremendous strain on the vitality of people in the temperate zone, where wide fluctuations of temperature occur, and where weather conditions vary. Affections of the nose, throat and lungs result. All are more or less infectious. Gripe affects the nasal passages and bronchial tubes while pneumonia attacks chiefly the lungs
Remember that every common cold probably leaves some damage behind, even though it may not be immediately perceptible. The damage may be slight, but repeated year after year it counts among other agencies that gradually wear out the body and lower its efficiency.
Watch this column for the hints on prevention and treatment of colds.
Black Helmet meeting and initiation will be held at the Phi Psi house. Thursday.
Quill Club will meet Thursday
at 7:30 in the Rest Room of
Fraser
STUDENTS INSPECTED THE
HEALTH CAR SATURDAY
The state health car, "Warren," which has been on the Union Pacific tracks in North Lawrence for two days, leaves tonight for Kansas City. The car is under the direction of Doctor Crumbine and is being sent out over the state for the education of the public. Special attention is paid to the care of babies and to the prevention of tuberculosis. Models of tuberculosis are shown and directions how to make them are given out. According to statistics, tuberculosis costs the state of Kansas over five million dollars.
Some of the dangers of the public drinking cup were shown. What is thought to be the oldest drinking cup in America, hangs in one end of the car. It is an old rusted iron cup that had been used at Fort Scott, Kansas, until November 1, 1911, when it was replaced by a fountain.
COLLEGE HEADS ELECT OFFICERS
Chancellor Chosen President of Kansas Colleges' Association
Chancellor Frank Strong was elected president of the Kansas College President's Association which held a conference Friday in the office of W. D. Ross, state superintendent of colleges and universities. The association included seven colleges.
At the meeting resolutions were adopted which will be introduced at the coming session of the legislature. Elimination of state and county super intendents from the political influence that now seem to dominate these two offices is perhaps the most important legislation that will be presented. The question of equal distribution $c$ in rural schools will also be introduced.
Rules were recommended which will put the state athletic association on an equal with the Missouri Valley Conference. Longer term of residence for eligibility was recommended for some schools.
Other officers elected were: Ernest F. Phibilad, of Bethany college, vice president; MeEnchroach assistant professor; Frank Mossman, southwestern, and S. E. Price, Ottawa University, executive committee; W. N. Mason, Baker, representative on Rhodes scholarship; R. I. Garrison, delegate to the educational council.
MOON HIDES IN SHADOW
Stayed Behind the Earth Three Hours This Morning
Although the majority of the three thousand students slumbered peacefully last night, the moon entered the shadow of the earth at 11:50 o'clock last night and emerged successfully at 3:40 o'clock this morning. This was the first total eclipse of the moon since September 14, 1913, according to Prof. E. B. Stouffer, head of the department of astronomy.
"The moon went into the shadow at 11:50 o'clock Sunday night and did not leave the shadow until 3:40 Monday morning," said Professor T. J. McNaughton of the eclipse ended at 2:30 a.m. m. The eclipse was unusually long because it came at a time when the earth was close to the sun. The sun is closest to the earth January 3 this year and for that reason the close proximity of the earth's shadow on the moon large. The result is a long eclipse."
The moon was visible even when totally eclipsed, but it was a dark copper color. This is caused by the light of the sun's rays being bent inward toward the moon by going through the earth's atmosphere onto the moon.
"Another total eclipse of the moon will be visible here December 27, being the only one of any kind visible here this year. July 4 there will be visible to the moon the moon visits in Europe but not here," concluded Professor Stouffer.

JUNIOR PROM WAS ELABORATE
Riley's Orchestra Was the Big Feature of the Annual Formal Party
The Junior Prom Friday night set a new record for elaborate parties at the University. From first to last the Prom was a splendid success, and great credit is due the managers Howard Fleeson and Harry Montgomery, for their capable handling of the affair.
Riley's orchestra, from the Hotel Baltimore in Kansas City, was the real feature of the party. Every dance number was warmly applauded, especially the "stunt" numbers by Peeve Byers, the saxophone player. Byers was the original melody written by Mr. Brys himself, was encoded time and again.
The cabaret numbers given during the supper were well received. Miss Grace Nelson proved immensely popular with the dancers, both when she sang in the ballroom during in-visitation and when she entertained in the dining room. Miss Gladys Swarthout's numbers were also well received.
The programs were in purple and white. They contained, in addition to the dance order, the supper menu, a list of the patrons and patronesses, of the prom committees, and the class officers.
The decorations for the party were unique. Suspended from the stee girders which support the Gym roo were three immense reflectors, under which were high powered lights From each reflector were draped streamers of purple, gold and white. The balcony was banked with cedar branches, and the walls were decorated with colorful flowers. Each corner of the dancing floor was fitted up with lounges and divans, in "cozy corner" style.
A short reception preceded the grand march. The following were in the receiving line: Ted Richter, Miss Ruth Farris, Harry Montgomery, Miss Luella Groberty, Howard Fleeson on Lamb, Chancellor and Mrs. Frank Kramer, Mrs. Eustace Brown, and Pref, and Mrs. P. H Hodder.
The lighting effects obtained by the use of colored flood lights were truly wonderful. Red pink, blue, orange. Now they thrown on the dancers in succession.

SMALLPOX CASE ON THE CAMPUS?
Health Service Suspects Woman of Having the Dreaded Disease
ISOLATED AT HOSPITAL
Dr. Sundwall Says Many of the Students Have Been Exposed
SCHOOL STUDENTS EXPOSED
A woman student in the University, is being isolated by the University Health Service because of a suspected case of smallpox. The superintendent of the Student Hospital said this morning, "The case is being well cared for on isolation and the danger for n isolation is it among the University students" is leasured since there were no others rooming in the same house."
SCHOOL STUDENTS EXPOSED
"There is no question but what the students are pretty well exposed," said Dr. Dr. Katz, in regard to the smallpox situation in school schools. "The public school children are being vaccinated, public school au thorities can require it—we can only urge vaccination upon University students. Smallpox vaccination like typhoid is given without extra charge to those having paid their hospital fee. The operation is less serious than any other vaccine, even penetrated, a light scratch is made and the vaccine rubbed on. The treatment is given but once while typhoid takes three injections.
"Any student who wants to be sure he will not have to drop out of school for three or four weeks because of the strict smallpox quarantine laws should take advantage of the vaccination days at the Student Hospital," continued Dr. Sundwalt. Treatment is given in the afternoons Monday and Thursday for women. Smallpox is dressed because of the characteristics of death it causes, a large percentage of death it causes, and the probability of having a pockmarked face the rest of the patient's life.
VACCINE REDUCES DANGER
"Before the perfection of smallpox vaccine by Jenner in the eighteenth century it was an unusual thing to see a face unscarred by pock marks. It was the most wide spread and fatal plague in any country.
"These microbes have played a historic part in the conquering of North America, and the Spanish introduced them into Mexico. They as much as his fighting won the country. Over three and a half million Mexicans died. The disease is especially virulent among aboriginal people. Today it is used in North America have a similar history.
