Newspaper Conference Adopts Resolutions Offered by Committee Yesterday
THANKS
THE UNIVERSITY
Vote to Hold Annual Conference Discuss the Press Responsibility of Public Taste
We, the newspaper men gathered here for this Kansas Newspaper Week, desire to express our thanks to the Chancellor and the Board of Administration for the opportunity the University of Kansas has given us to study state and national press problems together with other matters tending to raise the standard of our profession.
We endorse the systematic courses of study arranged for us by the University and urge a continuance of this state service work for the publishing interests of the state.
We appreciate the important part. Prof. Merle Thorpe has played in making this first Kansas Newspaper Week a success and thank him most heartily for it.
We recommend that the Newspaper Week be made an annual affair.
The last thing the National News paper Conference did before adjourning yesterday was to pass the following resolutions submitted by the committee on fair play and accuracy, of which James Melvin Lee, head of the New York University School of Journalism, was chairman, and Will Mayes, heutonant-governor of the University School of Journalism, and Henry Allen, of the Wichita Beacon were members;
"The National Newspaper Conference conducted under the auspices of the University of Kansas and the State Editorial Association recommends the establishment of a Bureau of Accuracy and Fair Play by every newspaper, similar to that outlined in the book "Papers for the Papers" D. White. It suggests that a paper establishing such a bureau give notice thereof at the head of its editorial page, together with a request that any person aggrieved by any item appearing in the paper shall at once make known his complaint that correction may be made, if necessary. In every possible way the editor of the paper or the director of the magazine is required to policy of dealing honestly and justly with all men, and of keeping the columns of the press free from intemperance of statement and exaggeration of fact.
The Conference appreciates the friendly greeting of the British Institute of Journalists and values the suggestions offered by that distinguished body. It suggests that American editorial associates give due consideration to the adoption of such features of the British Institute of Journalists as may be practically in conditions in this country
"The Conference is in sympathy with every effort to elevate American Journalism and commends the effort of the newspaper associations and of the schools of journalism to impress upon journalists the importance of a high standard of ethics. It believes that the best regulation of both the news and the advertising columns of the media and the weekly public sentiment rather than from legislative restrictions. It congratulates the Associated Advertising Clubs of America upon its success in improving the quality and character of advertising not only in the newspapers but also in the magazines.
"The Conference recommends that the National Government take legal action against all papers and periodicals violating the regulation providing for the use of motor vehicles and statement of ownership and bonded indebtedness."
The Conference also passed a resolution submitted by the same committee, thanking the University for holding the Conference and recommending that it be made an annual affair.
The Conference closed about 4:30
o'clock and the Kansas editors left
for the state editorial meeting at
Manhattan on the 6:56 U. P. train,
which had special coaches for their

SAYS NEWSPAPER WORK
IS DESIRABLE FOR WOMEN
Miss French, of Emporia Gazette,
Corrects Erroneous View Before
Home Economic Department
Miss Laura French, of the Emporia Gazette, spoke before the women of the department of home economies yesterday at a conference of "Women in News-paper Work."
aussie emphasized the desirability of newspaper work for the women who are fitted for it. All above, she insists that the generally accepted idea that the work is unwomanly is erroneous and that womanly qualities do not depend upon the w-k or surroundings, but upon the woman herself.
"There is no reason why the news paper woman should not be able to cook, sew, mend, nurse, dress a baby and even scrub doors just the same as any other woman does, and I think she should know every one," said Miss French.
Miss Evangeline Downey addressed the meeting on the subject of "Vocational Opportunities for the Home Economics Expert," such as home hints in women's pages, tea-room work, extent of work, apprenticeship work or visiting housekeeper.
The lectures were given under the auspices of the Association of Collegiate
AW GRADUATE BECOMES
STREET CAR CONDUCTOR
Alumni Catalog Shows That All of Uncle Jimmy's Boys Are Not Lawyers
Would you think that a knowledge of law would be of any use to a street car conductor or that such a study would cause a farmer's crops to thrive better than without it?
try a careful study of the last alumni catalog it is found that a graduate of the School of Law is now a full fledged conductor of a street car and that eight of the men are now engaged in the pursuit of farming. Perhaps, the training which they have received will be of some advantage while they are busily following the plow or feeding the pigs but the greater number of people would doubt such a statement.
The law school has been of some advantage to the churches of the state for there are three of its graduates who preaching from its pulpits each Sunday. Two of these are named David and the other has given no preference merely saying that he is an evangelist.
It seems that not all the students who have left the law school are poor financially for there are fifteen who are engaged in the banking business and forty-seven are with corporations and thirteen are employees of the government. Thirty-five are in business for themselves.
Eighteen of the students are county attorneys and twelve are on the bench. The greatest number of the graduates are practicing their crafts. According to the catalog there are 919 of them who have offices in that some place or other engaged in that work. Some of the mare in Lawrence while some of them are as far as the Philippines and Cuba. Cuba.
The graduates are not free from having one from their ranks who has executive authority. One o. their number is the governor of one of the great American commonwealths—that of Montana.
Sunday afternoon the Y. M. C. A. will hold its last meeting in the form of a hike. The members will leave Myers Hall at 3:15 and go out past Haskell toward Blue Mount. A special supper is to be prepared. Con Hoffman will be the leader of the band.

Kansas gained four on Bishop. Bishw went to first on an error by Palfreyman, and was moved ahead by Painter's sacrifice. Chinney *fanned*. Then Bishop took third on a passed ball. Then with two out and two strikes on Sproull, Angerwe weakened and walked into the air after the two Jayhawkers, bringing in the two Jayhawkers, then went across the plate himself when a throw to catch him went wild.
Then Togo Sommers was so elated that he went to bat with his windpad and shin guards on and went to first on the strength of his comedy when Pafreyman threw away his top jersey and Faundel scored Sommers with a triple.
The Tigers tied the score the same innings. After Hall was out, Gray, Hogg, and Woolsey made successive hits, scoring two. Woolsey scored twice to hold him back while let the hats go past him and Painter dropped the throw. Woolsey made the final score of the game on DeLongy's error at second.
