ARTHUR CAPPER WOULD WORK FOR MILL TAX
In Letter to Kansan Gubernatorial Candidate Takes Stand for University
The University Daily Kansan has sent letters to all the gubernatorial candidates to learn of their stand on the mill tax. The answer of Arthur Capper, Republican candidate, is printed herewith. Other replies will be published as they come to the office.
In regard to the mill tax, I will say that I think it is a move in line with a just and liberal policy toward our educational institutions and I am pleased to give it my hearty support. I think it is all wrong that the Chancellor of the University and the heads of other educational institutions are compelled to go before every session of the legislature like professional lobbyists and beg for funds for their schools.
No man appreciates more thoroughly than I do, the necessity of providing the best possible means of education for the youth of Kansas.
While I am not an alumnus of KU, I have always been greatly interested in it, and have taken great pride in the progress it has made in the past decade. Personally and through the Daily Capital I have always supported movement for its betterment. I want to see it become the greatest state university in America, and whether I am elected governor or not, I want the friend the University to feel that they can always count upon my papers, my voice and my vote to help this great institution. Kansas cannot afford to adopt a niggrardy policy toward the University and I do not believe Kansas people will ever desire to do so.
Let me assure you that if I am governor I will stand squarely for fair and adequate appropriations for the University. I do not want to see the great work we are doing, but the least. I hope it will become one of the greatest schools in the country, and if that is to be done, Kansas must stand by it.
I hope you will assure the people at the University that they can count on me all the time as a staunch friend.
(Signed) Arthur Capper.

CALIFORNIA WILL HAVE
NO 1915 PREP CONTEST
Big "C" Society Will Boost Inter scholastic Meet at Exposition Instead
The Big "C" Society, the governing body of athletics at the University of California, has decided to dispense with the annual intercollegiate sports season, annually under its auspices, for a period of one year. At the end of that time it will decide whether or not to two reasons influenced those in
give the meet again, charge to take this action. The Panama-Pacific Exposition plans to hold a Pacific Coast interscholastic championship meet in May and solicited the support of the University. Also the newly formed high school federation of California is opposed to colleges taking an active interest in competition. The college men provided such an extensive entertainment for the "preps" that it seemed to spoil them for some time afterward, according to the federation officials.
Support Exposition Meet
The Big "C" Society men feel in the charge made by the federation, and are willing to let them conduct the meets without opposition for a year. They have pledged the Exposition League to coast meet and will take no active interest in the federation meet.
In order that high school stars may still be entertained and given a glimpse of college life and the California campus, the society has decided to hold its annual "sirkus" as before. This formerly was held the evening after the meet. It will now be held after one of the college athletes gives the preps a chance to see the college athletes in competition.
The Lefland Stanford authorities have adopted a different attitude. They plan to hold their annual meet as before, but have offered the federation the use of the Stanford oval for its meet. They will take no active interest in the meet of the Exposition.
The College faculty has decided to permit announcement of the class standing on current work as indicated by instructors' reports to the Dean's office. This action was limited, however, to students whose work was below or barely passing.
To Advertise Religion
A group meeting of the Student Religious Council will be held in Myers Hall tonight to discuss plans for the year's work This is the first meeting of this or organization, which began last year. The federation aims to give people the religious life of the University.
To Advertise Religion
Individual students, or reprer-
tized to apply for them, will
be given this information on the
first Monday of each month.
College Mixer a Day Later
The College mixer will be held on this afternoon in the interest of a first planned, avenue of conflict with "The Seven Keys to Baldpate."
He's Proving It
JAYHAWK SAYS HE IS A STORK
K. U. CHEMISTS ATTACK NECK-TORTURING COLLAR
Efforts Made to Prolong Life o Linens and at Less Expense to Laundries
Last week's Saturday Evening Post has this say. It is from Kannas
The dreaded saw edge on collars and the exasperating shredded hand-kerrichie are practical problems that have been tackled by chemists of the University of Kansas. Though these chemists have not succeeded in showing how laundries can avoid the fatal injuries to white goods, they have demonstrated that the healthy life of such goods can be prolonged considerably at actually less expense to the laundryman.
Less bleaching is their remedy, for they have discovered that the more bleaching there is used the first time a collar is haundered the more bleaching will occur and so on in increasing amounts. That practically perfect whiteness is possible from less bleaching than is ordinarily used they believe; and, on the other hand, if patrons were willing to accept not only bleaching but whiteness, the handkerchiefs would twist twice as long as they do now.
Their first experiments were on collars; but later they found they could work more quickly by simply laudering white threads and testing the breaking strength of the threads after the various processes. One set of threads was sent through the washing process until it lasted longer and, until it became too weak to stand another wash. A second set was sent through the ordinary bleaching process over and over again, and another set through the acid process until the threads broke. In this way it was quickly determined that the bleaching process was most harmful to the threads and less harmful than the washing process. Washing, and the other processes white goods pass through in a laundry, did not greatly shorten the life of the threads.
Attempts were then made to find substitutes for the bleaching. Some were found which did not hurt the threads; but laundries that tried them finally abandoned them because the white color was not so perfect. Ozone was found to bleach the threads successfully and to help them only half as much as ordinary clothes. This meant an extra process with additional expense, which apparently barred its use. So finally the chemists turned to the bleaches to see whether these could be made less harmful.
Their principal discovery was that the yellowing of laundered white goods which have remained for some time unused in bureau drawers is due to excessive bleaching and more bleach is required to remove the yellow color. Hence excessive bleaching comes to be used for all white goods.
Dr. Alice L. Goetz is delighted with the splendid basket-ball material among the women of the freshman class. Not much coaching will be necessary in order to have good teams she thinks.
Using weak bleaching solutions for new white goods permits using much less in later launderings; and a steady effort to use as little bleach as possible in getting a proper color they found to be effective in prolonging the life of the handkerchief.
TRAMP. TRAMP, TRAMP, THE GIRLS ARE MARCHING ON
Freshmen Women Hike to Koring's Grove Amid Winds and Storming Enthusiasm
Without a man in sight, bearing their own burdens, a score of freshmen women hiked into the country Saturday morning in the face of a whipping wind. The camp-fire dinner at Koring's Grove, two and a half miles east of town, was the first affair given by the women of 1918, since their resolution to organize to have a good time.
Threatening weather kept many girls away. The ones who did make the trip, however had more than their share of fun. To make the day complete, one was ducking sister who raided a house was ducked. W亡nes were there a plenty.
Pressing lessons, expected parents, and the lack of hob nailed shoes, were excuses given by women who were intimidated by the threatening sky.
Our Duty to Help European Sufferers
Elizabeth Plank, the chairman of freshman women, is very enthusiastic "With the encouragement that we received from our first effort, I told this morning, that she class of 1918 have a precedent on the Hill that will become an established institution. We shall have a strong organization before the year is over." Miss Plank has called a meeting of freshman women for Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, Brown's rooms, to discuss their next Every freshman woman is invited.
NEEDS 40 MILES OF PAPER
We should work for the Red Cross. It is one of our real duties, if not our first.
Jayhawker Manager Will Purchase Enough to Reach K. C.
We owe it to the women and children and wounded of Europe to al-
teiate their suffering as much as it is in our power to do so. It is the work
of the men and women of the world to help them.
The Jayhawker will be printed on 140 pound book paper and it will take 28 reams to print a thousand Jayhawkers. Multiply the two and you get 3920 pounds or nearly two tons, the weight of the books.
If the sheets of paper composing the pages of the 1915 Jayhawker were stretched end to end from Lawrence they would reach Kansas City in a matter of seven miles on to Independence, Mo. Each page is approximately a foot in length and there are 500 pages to a book. A thousand books is the usual number ordered, and the 1820 feet in a mile. Figure it out yourself.
Prof. W. A. McKeever, of the devoted by those present to have him return to address the Inland Empire Institute which meets there next spring. The Inland Empire Institute organization whose operations cover four states.
Erase the cipher from the total of pounds and you have $392, the cost of raw paper. The war raised the prices until this fall the same amount of paper costs about $80 more than last year.

FEW EUROPEAN JOURNALS
War Cuts Off America's Supply of Foreign Publications.
War conditions are keeping foreign journals from coming to K. U. Only one foreign journal has an air force the war and that cam October 12.
A letter from the G. E. Stechert Publishing Company states that English shipments of books and periodicals have arrived weekly with one exception. German periodicals are also received, but the company will soon receive a six weeks' shipment on two Dutch iteamers from Rotterdam.
Orders which have accumulated in Paris are now being filled rapidly and importers will again receive weekly shipments unless something unforseen occurs. Few French periodicals are being published but The C. E. Stechet Co., writes that they are prepared to fill orders for books in various languages and can accept other orders and France. They also be able to rush German importations by cable. Book rates have been increased ten per cent, but will probably be reduced to five per cent, soon.
NENIOR PLAY WILL BE
SELECTED DURING WEEK
The senior play will be selected next week, according to Duke Kennedy, manager of the play and chairman in charge.
"We have four plays to pick from," said Kennedy this morning, "and all of them have a royalty of $50, which alone will insure a first class play Heretofore no class distinction has been made in selecting the cast. But this year seniors only will be eligible."
The first try-out will be held the first week in November.
Sophomore Writes Songs
Sopomore Written Songs
Karl Jones, a composer in the College, is able to songs to words one of which was sung last Monday night at the Bowersock in "The Military Girls," a play given by the Redpath-Horner Yueum Bureau.

AGGIES FIGHT HARD BUT LOSE TO KANSAS
Farmer Eleven Held Scoreless While Wheaton's Men Net 27 Points
The old Yale shift and three kicks from placement by Shorty Strothers enabled the Jayhawkers to plough under the Kansas Aggies with a 27 to 0 score on McCook Field Saturday afternoon. The Kansas' program but four days yet they shot through the Farmer line repeatedly for constant gains. Three touchdowns were made by shifting the ball near the Aggie posts and then hamming through the ball. The points scored and three kicks, placement by Strothers, two of which were from difficult angles.
Ideal Football Weather for Team
A cold wind from the northeast greeted the football players as they came out of the clubhouse. It was warm enough for the players' standpoint—but a little too cold for the spectators. The largest rooting crowd of the season sat behind the Kansas band. Directly across the field was a contingent of four hundred Aggle roots and the A.C. band which tried to oak the Farmer team as it rolled on the sod.
K. U. Leads From Kick-off
Kansas won the game on the kickoff. Haymaker booted to Householder who fumbled, the bounce calling into Reber's arms. The big Kansas end had a good start and ran fifty yards through the Aggie defence until the last man nabbed him. A few line bucks and then Captain Detwier broke through the line for his first touchdown. Russell's kick out was wild and Aggies missed a chance for the final frame of their relative strength of the two teams. The Kansas rooters were brought to their feet a dozen times as Detwier and Craig shifted through the Aggie line. Kansas came close to the Aggie line several times but penalties nipped chances for a touchdown.
The second quarter was more decisive than the first. After missing an easy chance, Strothers toed a kick over the bars from the 30 yard line and five minutes later kicked another from the second chalk mark.
Third Quarter Bewinner Aggs
Coleman replaced Craig in the third quarter and Wood placed the chase game. With surprising ease, the Jayhawkers carried the ball to the north goal and before the crowd could realize it, Strothers had sent a beautiful kick over the bars. Wood then led the charge back again and darted through the Farmers' line for a touchdown; Strothers missed the kill and Coleman continued with Coleman and Wood bewildered the Aggies again in this quarter and Householder carried the ball for the third touchdown.
No Scores During Last Period
The last quarter was an exhibition of forward passing both teams handling the ball awkwardly. The Aggies showed more spirit in the last period and held their opponents scoreless. Many passes were at risk but a fumble or a lucky kick brought the ball to the ground every time.
Kansas showed better form than the Aggies and with the exception of kicking, outplayed them at every moment. But Kansas had a line which would not give and backs which knocked Lowman's line to pieces.

C.-Keeling        Wright
