TRIANGLE DEBATERS WILL ARGUE ON SINGLE TAX
Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas Finally Agree on Subject for Contests
Resolved, "That the single tax on land should immediately be substituted for all other forms of state and local taxation," is to be the subject for discussion in the Oklahoma-Colo-rado-Kansas triangular Prof. Howard *J.J.* of the public speaking department, received a letter from the Sooners this morning in which they agreed to the above statement of the question.
This new decision is the result of several weeks' negotiation on the part of Professor Hill. Oklahoma refused to consent to making any changes in the wording of the question until last week.
Kansas will have two teams in the triangular debate. The affirmative team will debate the negative team and the affirmative team will debate at Boulder with Colorado.

MISSOURIANS HAVE NAMES THAT SAVOR OF CARLISL
Glen Warner Could Not Pick a More Savage Sounding Pack of
Who would you think that Kansas was scheduled to meet on McCook Field if you read the following dispatch: "Coach Warner, accompanied by, Buster, Kidney Foot, Razorback, Toby, Hank, Larry, Gooden, Surely, Hairless Wonder, Christian College, Galvanometer, Snare, and Peaches, left for Lawrence, Kansas this afternoon."
Nine chances out of ten you would say Carlisle, and if you did not, your guess would be that it was an Irish soccer team. But it is neither for these names belong to members of the Tiger football team which meets Kansas on McCook November 21. Of course they are only nicknames, but they are popular on the Missouri campus.
THE FLOWER SHOP
Off the campus these names belong to the above mentioned warriors: Shepard. Van Dyne, Woody, Graves, Herndon, LaRue, Groves, Lake, Miller, Collins, Wyatt, Drumm, and Graham.

Columbians Feel Their Team Is Gaining Strength as Season Wanes
"Doping" out a comparison which will place Missouri in a favorable light for the next Kansas game, seems to ve the favorite indoor sport of the Missouri student body these days. Down deep there is an impression that Kansas has the better football team, but according to "dope" from the Missourian, the college daily, recent comparative scores show that the Jayhawkers may not win.
The Missourian quotes the Des Moines Register and Leader to the effect that, at the Drake game, Missouri's work was exceptional when the light weight of the team is considered. According to the Des Moines paper, Drake has improved fifty per cent since the Kansas game, yet the Tigers beat them as badly as did the Jayhawker.
Rest Hopes on Wasahini
The good showing of his barn burn against the Tiger last week also encourages the Tiger student body for they realize that Wheaton was forced to send in his first string of men to pull the game out of the arena and one touchdown after the first team men were in the game.
While the stunts are winning the game on paper, the Tiger team is working hard for the Kansas game. Cripples are being nursed along and will be playing tomorrow. Toby Graves who was injured in the Ames game is out again and will probably not play until the Kansas game. According to the Missouriian, there is "a new threat" from the Kansas or fighting spirit," now that but six days for actual practice remain before the invasion into Kansas.
SONGS! SONGS! WE NEED 'EM
Prof. H. W. Humble Thinks Students Should Use Voice to Make Music
"Kansas need songs and needs them badly," said Prof. W. H. Humble of the School of Law, this morning for songs and songs they should be learned."
Professor Humble says that at Cornell University there are at least ten songs that all the students know and sing not only at the athletic contests and the rallies but in nearly every feature of University life. In the evenings they are sung around the dormitories by both the men and the women. The fraternity houses in the evening resound with them.
The singing of the College songs develops a love and a reverence for the University that can be brought about in no other way. College yell, he thinks, can be of litter at the rally and off the athletic field.
Then, too, if songs were used at the games the women might join in them. Professor Humble suggests that instead of old tunes they could be obtained, either by writing new words to old tunes or by composing entirely new songs.

SUBMARINE MINES USED FOR REVOLUTIONARY WAR
Professor Dains Tells of Development of Explosives Under Water in World's Warfare
"Submarine mines have been the terror of naval warfare," said Prof. B.F. Dains of the department of chemistry today. "The first record of their use was against the fleet in the Revolutionary war. During the Civil war the South destroyed 22 Northern ships with mines. Both sides used them extensively in the Russo-Bulgarian war. It was destroyed the Maine and indirectly made Dewey famous." "The explosive generally used is gun cotton. However, the report is current that the Germans are using trinxtrol taluene, a blasting compound. There are two kinds of mines, observation and contact form, former are laid in the sea. A chart is made of a vessel passes over one of them an observer presses an electric button connected with it and off goes the mine. These mines are little used for they cannot be observed any great distance from the shore. Contact mines," he continued, "are not connected with the shore but are chored to the bottom or seadrift. The latter are a menace toutral
"Mines are about six feet long and are sunk from five to ten feet under the surface. Very few boats can escape them. Devices for catching the mines and exploding them away from the ship are not successful.
"Neutral ships suffered so in the recent wars that an attempt was made by the Hague Conference to limit and regulate their use, but they are such formidable weapons that nations do not like to bind themselves too closely. However, certain restrictions have been in regard to their use. They may be laid in the waters in the region of war but not in natural waters. Unachornice mines must be constructed to become harmless within an hour after they are laid, anchored mines must become harmless whenever they break their moorings. They may not be laid for the sole purpose of intercepting navigation nor in the high seas."
NAISMITH THINKS HARVARD'S
DRINKING GLASSES A JOKE
When Dr. James Naismith was told recently of the step toward cleanliness that Harvard has taken in safeguarding the health of its football team by substituting individual drinking glasses for the sponge commonly used on the field, he laughed.
"We have already discarded the sponge for bottles, but individual glasses are absurd and carry the idea too far," he said; "it must be a frivolous take-off on the whole idea. Anyone with an infectious disease should not be allowed on the team, and since the players do not swallow the water but only rinse out the mouth, I don't see any cause for such care. You can't keep a n football player clean anyway."
CORNELL PRESIDENT DEFINE DUTIES OF A UNIVERSIT
"So long as the European upheaval continues it will devolve upon the colleges and Universities of America to take the lead in the upholding of the civilization of the world. "This is the opinion of the president Jacob Gould Samantha of Cork, who also considers that civilization consists in peaceful industry, in the physical well being of the people, in good government, in virtuous character and righteousness, in education, and intelligence, and in the activities of art and science, and the discrete functions of the human spirit. It is to these objects that colleges and universities are dedicated and their essential idea is the everlasting protest against brute force."
Dean C. S, Skilton, of the School of Fine Arts, gave an organ recital before the Kansas State Teachers' Association, in Topeka, Friday.
GRAHAM TAYLOR IS FRIEND TO ALL MEN
Man Who Leads Charities Program Has Spent Life to Help Unfortunate
Graham Taylor will be the leading speaker at the joint meeting of the Kansas Conference of Charities and Correction and the Kansas State Society of Criminal Law and Criminology which will be held at the University of Kansas to receive his Topic will be "The Outlook for Social Progress Under the Shadows of War," and promises to be very interesting. Mr. Taylor has just returned from Europe and brings the story of the war and the resultant conditions first hand. He will also give a presentation on Community Welfare by the Cooperation of Voluntary and Official Agencies."
Mr. Tayler is one of the foremost men in slum and social betterment work of all kinds. He was the first to take up the social work among the immigrant sections of the large cities. About the time that Jane Addams began work at Hull House, Graham Taylor moved with his family to the north slum in the mission section of Chicago. Here he gathered around him a group of young men who were interested in social work and they used the Chicago melting pot as a social laboratory.
Graham Taylor soon began to realize that the humanitarian disposition and sentiment for the poor was not sufficient to improve the conditions of the people. To remedy this he founded an institution known as the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy. This was the first school to take up special training for social work. Its purpose as stated in the charter was to promote efficiency of philanthropic and social improvement of living and working conditions. The method taken to do this was through instruction, training, investigation and publication.
Mr. Taylor is president of the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy. He was one of the founders and is now an associate editor of the "Survey" a paper printed in the in-terior United States, and the conditions in Europe will be given at 1:30 Friday November 20 in the chapel, and his other talk will be given the same evening at 8:00 o'clock in the chapel. Mr. Taylor is desirous of meeting students currently working on a plan will be announced later so that students may make arrangements to meet him personally.
