VENTURES ADVICE AND TELLS GOOD STORIES
Jerome Beatty, Newspaper Man, Speaks to Journalism Classes
INTERVIEWED GABY DESLYS
In a spirited and amusing address, Jerome H. Beauty, a former student in the department of journalism, but more recently of the New York Globe and New York World, gave some good advice yesterday afterday afternoon to sixty "cub" reporters, who had gathered to hear him. As a good reporter he "punished" his peers with some entertaining incidents he encountered as a New York City reporter.
Noted Dancer Said Little—City Edi tor shocked by Prune Story Instead of Titantic News
"Do not be sable," said Mr. Beatty. "Ninety six per cent of your readers won't appreciate your satire. The worst roasting I ever got was occasioned by a beautiful humorous little story proclaimed in the LaCygne club organized for the 'Propagation and Development of Bull Frogs.'
"In the second place have confidence in yourself at all times. When you are sent to interview the Chancellor, don't enter with a quivering heart, but tell yourself that you are reputed to be one of the most hardened and come right out and ask him what you are sent for."
"Don't be afraid to ask questions.
All news is found by asking questions.
If you can't think of one bearing directly on the subject, ask a foolish question, ... may get a bit bitter and bigger than the original one."
Mr. Beatty then told of some amusing experiences he had in interviewing Gaby Deslys, the dancer who broke King Manuel's heart, Andrew Carnegie on his seventy-sixth birthday, and Thomas A. Edison.
When Mr. Edison was asked it there were as many chances for young men today as fifty years ago, he replied that there were many others. He told me to fore "Only this week," said Mr. Edison, "I have had calls for three ten thousand dollar men. I didn't have them. We have lots of three thousand dollars men. Yes, he added, with few tenes. Yes, he added, with lots of十nes but few tens."
Mr. Beatty left of his trump with the Champion Woman Prune Eater of the World, Mrs. Beach, who walked from New York to Chicago to show the world how his report became mixed with the reports of the Titanic disaster. While the editors in the Globe office were standing around the telegraph instrument, waiting news from the damned, the captain of a dike. They leaned forward in anticipation but the tension was broken when the operator wrote, "After walking ten miles this morning, Mrs. Beach ate three prunes, two tablespoonsfuls of raw wheat and drank a dick of orange
Mr. Beatty leaves tonight fer San Francisco.

Judge Park Says Profession Must Elevate Itself At Once
'NONE BUT MORAL MEN SHOULD BE LAWYERS'
"The profession of law is behind the times in its law of procedure or the adjective law," declared Judge G. Park of Kansas City, Mio., in a chaplain for the town's law offices. "The Procedure is not founded upon present experience but upon the customs of a time when men were full of sophisticated reasoning. The mind of man five hundred years ago was not more imaginings and reasonings than his imaginations and reasonings facilities went wild.
"Due to commercialism," he said, "the usefulness of law has been impaired. The legal profession has not risen at it should. The love of money, avarice, and false reasoning have come between the legal profession and its fullest usefulness to mankind.
"The moral standard of the bench and the bar should be elevated. Leaves me more careful of the young men admitted to the bar. Only men of approved moral character should be allowed to practice law. Improvement in the personnel of the bar is the first step toward reform. Unless the bar cleanses itself it may be cleansed by elimination."
After the address Mrs. Blackman, a student in the College sang "The Woman's Joy" on his encore with Carrie Jacob Bond's negra dialect song, "Happy Lil Sail."

CONFERENCE MEMBERS QUIET
Hill Says Board Will Not Interfer
Now—Kansas Students Sign
Petition Favoring Columbia
It seems certain now that the Missouri game will be played at Columbia this year. President Hackney, of the Board of Administration, said Saturday that President Hill of Missouri, who also heads the Missouri Valley Conference, had written him that he thought it inadvisable for conference officials to consider the return of the game to Kansas City.
This decision is in answer to a letter written to President Hill by Mr. Hackney several weeks ago, in which he asked that a meeting of the Missouri Valley officials be held to determine the official status of the request to maintain location of the president. President Hill said that two members were opposed to such a meeting taking place at all, and that two were indifferent, so that under the circumstances he felt justified in letting the matter stand as it is. Inasmuch as the result of absence, the whole matter is now just where it was before any disturbance was raised.
A petition signed by 34 girls and 67 men was received at the Daily Kansan office under the following head this morning:
Kansas-Missouri Football Game.
Where? We want the Kansas-Missouri Football Game on College Grounds. Do You? We Know What It Means to Have the Game in Kansas City. Do You? We Know What games are being ripped to play fair, and want the game in Columbia this year.

SPECIAL TRAIN MAKES AGGIE TRIP SATURDAY
"Uncle Jimmy", Band, Team And Rooters All Go Together
The Jayhawker rooters will have a special train to carry them down to Manhattan for the game Saturday. This was decided yesterday when the Union Pacific announced that a special train had been set up to take the trip to and from the Kansas State Agricultural College could be made in one day.
A special rate has been provided for the rooters, and the trip can be made both ways for $3.20. The band is to be there, the cheer leader will accompany the team, and the athletic authorities will be disappointed if at least one thousand students do not make the trip and root for the Jayhawkers on their opponents' battle field.
The Aggies played at Lawrence last year, and students, professors, Manhattan merchants, all accompanied the team.
If they could save up their money and gather together 750 students to make the trip, why cannot Kansas raise one thousand men and women, in truth a. "Thundering Thousand," and surprise Manhattan with their enthusiism next Saturday? Come on, fellows. Dig down in your jeans for that necessary $8.20 and join the gang!
BACTERIA HAVE BIG FAMILIES
Saprophytes and Parasites Increase Rapidly, Says Prof. Billings.

In the fall, of the department of bacteriology, in a lecture to Dr. Jas. Naismith's hygiene class yesterday afternoon. This total is obtained by simpleiviation based on basis splits every thirty minutes.
"There are two kinds of bacteria," said Dr. Billings, those that live on dead organic matter, suphrophytes, and those that live on living organic matter, parasites.
"Common belief about bacteria is that they are all harmful when as a matter of fact only a few are injurious to the welfare of man. Without saprophytes to decompose the dead plant and animal, life so that it can return to the soil that it can reenviron. Neither could be he eat butter or cheese or a number of other things were it not for bacteria."

Brass Buttons And Bright Hued Braid Will Come in Two Weeks Says Leader McCanles
The apportionment of nearly $400 from the sale of the student enterprise tickets, by the joint board controlling the same at a meeting last night, permanently assured the appearance at an annual University event in nobly new uniforms. A big factor in securing the long desired uniforms was the fund raised through the dance given last Saturday night. For the help secured at that time Manager J. C. McCanes of the band thanked Mr. Strong, the Board of Administration, and the Student Council.
The band boys will have their measurements taken at once and it is thought that the uniforms will arrive within two weeks.
