WOODROW WILSON TO VISIT K. U. AGAIN
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 12, 1912.
Will be Chief Speaker at Social Center Congress at University
MEETING TO BE IN DECEMBER
The Date Has Been Changed From November 20 to December on Account of Campaign.
That Woodrow Wilson, president-elect of the United States, will be a speaker at the Second Annual Congress of the Social Center Association to meet here sometime in December is the statement made by Richard R. Price of the University extension department, this morning.
"The congress was to have convened in October," said Professor Price, "but owing to the campaign was postponed till Nov. 20 to 23. With the election of Mr. Wilson, it became uncertain as to whether or not he could be here. Yesterday we received a telegram from his secretary promising that he would come if we made the date in December. Accordingly we have again postponed the meeting. The exact date will be known within two or three days."
"Other noted speakers at the congress will be Jane Addams, President Vincent of the University of Minnesota, Judge Lindsay, Herbert Quick, author of several books, and possibly Theodore Roosevelt. We don't need to encourage about Rowley because the change is due. More than two hundred delegates are expected to attend the convention."
Chancellor Frank Strong is fourth vice-president of the association and Frank P. Walsh of Kansas City is first vice-president.
The essential idea of the movement is to make the school house the meeting place of the community for unlimited public discussion and to use it as a nucleus for the social, civic, and recreational center of the neighborhood.

None But Missouri Rooters in Tiger Section at Missouri-Kansas Game
The Missouri rooters, who get seas in the rooter's section at McCook field, must swear that they will root for the team. The University of Missouri intends to win the Big Game and if rooters can do it, they are going to be made to do it. Every student, before the purchase of a ticket, is impressed with the work of the Mentor Men's Council has taken it up and is busy impressing the student body with this fact.
This means that when Missouri arrives here one week from Saturday every spectator from that school will be brim-full of enthusiasm and that "Old Mizzou" is going to attempt to drown out Rock Chalk on the home grounds.
A movement is on foot at Ohio State University to abolish formal dances among the sororities.

TO PLAY RETURN GAM
Root's Booters to Kansas City Saturday for Game With British-Americans
The K. U. soccer team will play a return game with the British-Americans at Kansas City this Saturday. The first game with the Kansas City bunch resulted in a tie but Coach looks for a victory at this game.
The soccer boys have been playing some good ball this fall, enough to create interest in the sport even among those who at first thought it was adopted at the University to take the place of football. After the game Saturday, the next soccer contest will probably take place at St Louis, between Washington University and Christian Brothers College.
DR. DAINS TALKED TO GRADUATE SCHOOL
Dr. F. B. Dains, of the chemistry department, gave a talk to the Graduate Club last Friday night in room 216 Fraser hall. The talk was illustrated by stereoptic views, consisted in the first half of the old city of Senna, and the latter part of views of modern Venice.
On Friday, November 15th, Prof. C. G. Dunlap will lecture at Oathe; Prof. F. W. Blackmar at Atchison; Prof. A. W. Trettian at Osage City; and Prof. R. R. Price will lecture before the Federation of Women's Clubs which meets here, on "The Work of the Extension Division for Women's Clubs."

CHERISH YOUR LIFE SAYS DR. NASH
President of Pacific Theology
ical Seminary Gives Advice
in Chapel Address
"I desire to be so trained by the experiences of this life to be fitted for any service of any world," declared Professor Blazdell of Beloit. Such was the text of President Chas. S. Nash of the Pacific Theological Seminary in his speech in chapel this morning.
"One of the most important principles is to have faith in life," he continued." Cherish life for what it is to man or woman. It is the purpose of man or woman to conquer the forces molded by nature if he wishes to accomplish anything in life.
"Man must assent to life as it faces us. Sorrow is inevitable and every person must face it. It is the man who assents to life who can face sorrow in a soldiery, heroic manner. Not to yield to the difficulties of life is the only way results can be accomplished.
"Man must have something to look forward to, and not limit his views to life in this world. One must learn to complete the work begun in life."
"MORAL MOVIES" ON
TRIP THROUGH KANASS
Milton Fairechild Traveling With Ed ucational Films in Interest of Extension Department.
A "moral" instructor for Kansas, the daily use of stereoptic lectures, and stricter supervision of the playgrounds, are among the reforms suggested by Milton Fairchild of Baltimore, Maryland, who is touring the state under the direction of the vision department of the University.
"Moral instruction has advanced very slowly in the public schools," said Mr. Fairchild. "The formation of character is the primary object of education but the general nature of the work has made progress in this line exceedingly slow. The principle of the entire dissociation of church and state is one of the fundamental principles of our public school system but the school work has taken so much of the student's time that the home and church have lost much of their influence on the child life. Our plan is to have the school assume the responsibility for the student's real needs than that they be culture daily on subjects of ethics, using illustrations familiar to the student. When Johnyh Jones fights Pete Smith, don't merely tell them they can't fight on the school grounds but tel them why they should not and persuade them not to fight."
Mr. Fairchild has prepared a series of three lectures, illustrated by 3500 lantern pictures for children of various ages, which he will exhibit throughout the state under the direction of the University. He delivered one yesterday at the Topka high school in which he showed the difference between sportsman-like and unportsman-like conduct on the part of both spectators and players in their treatment of visiting players.
Prof. Mitchell Enturies Classes Prof. and Mrs. A. G. Mitchell were hosts to the members of the professor's classes in philosophy and logic, Saturday evening from eight to ten, at their home at 408 W. Pinckney street. An excellent program was rendered on the piano during the evening by Philip Stevens. Refreshments consisting of cider, ice cream and cake, and chocolates were served.
AFTER PATENT FOR RESEARCH PRODUCT
Four Companies Want Exclusive Righth to Use Redmanite
In a little, foul-smelling room in the basement of the chemistry building, Prof. L. V. Redman, a Julius Karpen Fellow in Industrial Research, has been working since February, 1910, over hundreds of bottles, tubes and retorts trying to perfect a substance which has been named Redmanite. When asked as to what Redmanite is, Professor Redman replied:
Every morning just at sunrise loyal sons of Uncle Jim, all arise to their devotions and prepare to worship Him; on the door-step of the Hall in which they pass their time away, they meet, and in a rev'rent mood, they watch the coming day. No Sacred Bull, nor Golden Calf, nor Sacred Ass can stray, their matutinal devotions from the light across the way. Tell me where in all America, there lives a band of men with half so constant virtue in their worship; tell me when, in all the ages of the sects of pagan idols, and of church, has a body been so constant to their god or to their perch. When the morn is dark and dreary, they are absent from the steps, but when Sol comes out a 'smiling they are there to keep their reps.
THE SUN-WORSHIPPERS
"I don't know as we can tell just exactly what it is at present. It is easier to tell what can be done with it. Four of us have been working with it and here are some of the things made from Redmanite."
He pulled open a drawer and picked up a hand-full of pretty buttons, all colors, some transparent and some as pretty as onyx. Different kinds of useful jewelry, hair combs, jewel boxes, and trays filled the drawer. Other drawers brought forth heavy pulley wheels, which are made from saw-dust and Redmanite. "Redmanite would be especially good for making pulley wheels. The wooden pulleys can not be made so they are absolutely true," and then he said something about specific gravity and some other things rather unintelligible.
"The thing that suggested the need of such material to me was the growing scarcity of high class varnishes. I have conducted experiments with Redmanite and find that, used as a paint, it adheres to steel and iron and is not dissolved in the ordinary innerval solvents. When applied to concrete it will stand in boiling acid. That evaporating pan over there in the corner was painted with it two years ago. It has been subjected to varying intensities of heat and shows no deterioration. Here is a piece of brass which has been lacquered with Redmanite. It has been standing in this solvent for a long time and is not affected." It occurred to the reported that some of the lacquer applied to automobile lamps would save a great deal of swearing.
Redmanite is owned by a company which is at present engaged in obtaining a patent. Three other companies, among them the General Electric Company, are attempting to get a patent for the same material. The case will be heard either at Lawrence or at Chicago some time before the first of the year. Professor Redman believes that he will have no trouble in obtaining a patent for the material that bears his name, as his papers were on file in the patent office over six months before any other person or company made application for a similar patent.
The Mathematics Club at its regular meeting last night discussed some of the problems that are now before advanced mathematicians. Miss Frances McCreath read a paper on "The Early History of the Equation" and Miss Vee Fith brought up some interesting problems and puzzles.

FOREIGNERS LIVE CHEAPER,
SAYS PROF, BAILEY
People Abroad Suffer in Conveniences to Save Small Amounts, Writes Professor Bailey.
"While everybody is theorizing on the high cost of living, it may be worth while to look the problem squarely in the face and consider whether personally we have any part in bringing about this result, or whether 'somebody else' is the one who alone is to be blamed," said Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, head of the department of chemistry in an article in the Philadelphia North American Sunday.
"The articles which we consider at home a necessity are a luxury abroad. The high taxes abroad cause these high prices in the EU, the Eurozone or the poorer classes live on the closest meat or some on bread alone.
"The people abroad recognize the fact that it is cheaper to buy cooked food than to cook it at home. The people are very economical in seeing that no food is wasted; meat is a very expensive luxury and is scarcen even in the best hotels. The poorer people are very much dependent on the products from the garden which is small but productive.
"It may be well to notice the economics practiced by the people abroad; first the people are willing to suffer inconveniences in order to save small amounts, a fact far different from the custom in the United States; they utilize everything that is available; in the third place fuel is such a cheap product that peasants gather all the sticks and twigs in the woods for firewood.
"In this country, if we would diminish the luxuries and be content to do more actual labor, we might do something to reduce the high cost of living. People who are too indolent or careless to intelligently direct or actually do the work of the household have little excuse for complaint when the monthly bills equal or exceed the monthly income, and leave no margin of cash to lay aside for future needs."
WILL CARRY CANES
Senior Laws Revive Stylish Custom of the
Past
In most of the larger Universities, especially in the East, the seniors of all the professional schools have some distinctive article of wearing apparel, so the laws have decided that they shall carry silver headed sticks.
The senior laws have voted to revive the custom of carrying canes, which was introduced at the University two years ago by Prof. Henry C. Hill.
President Simmons of the senior laws, said this morning that samples had been sent for, and that they expected to spring the canes at the Missouri football game.
Phi Delt Banquet.
The Phi Delta Theta alumnae will hold their annual banquet at the Coates House, in Kansas City, Wednesday evening, November 27. The guests will be Judge Mason of Topeka, the Rev. Hoyt M. Dobbs, and Mr. Thornton Cooke.
Dorothy Parkhurst, Alta Lulu, Lux Ridenour, Trine Latta, Elsie Fleeson, Mona Derge, Edith Case, Vera Duger, Nelle Huston, and Marie Nelson went to Topeka today to hear Madame Schumann-Heink.

ROOTERS GET IN LINE FOR NEBRASKA TRIP
Thirty-eight Students Have Signed Kansas List For Cornhusker Special
A GREEN BACK FILLS THE BILL
Get the Spirit and Help Lick a Bunch of Boastful Nebraskans
—Send in oYur Name
—Send in oYur Name.
"It is there a student with so sean eaet. that he wouldn't do without several meals at the best boarding club in Lawrence to see Jayhawkers "cleanup" a certain bunch of boastful Cornhuskers in Lincoln Saturday?
The Kansan values its life too much to admit that there MAY be some such traitors among us. There is more than a spark of spirit in the student body, and Cheerleader Dolde believes that this is going to burst into a flame about Friday and sweep up to Nebraska so it will resemble a prairie fire.
There is no question but that every Jayhawk heart is beating right. But the problem remains "are there enough American eagles screaming for us from the depths of student pockets to respectable following with the team."
Try This Philosophy.
A little philosophy not gleamed from the classroom room. Last year the rooters had to go to Columbia to support Kansas in its struggle with the ancient rival the Tiger. Before that time a couple of thousand students annually went to Kansas City to twist the same Tiger's tail. Either of these trips averaged from $10 to $12, and none cried. This year there is no trip ahead to see Missouri, and the Tigers will bring probably a couple of thousand rooters to Lawrence.
With the rate reduction and the KANSAS SPECIAL, any student can go to the Nebraska Game for a $10 bill. Believing that the spirit spawned at Chapel laries is backed by true, and honest love for Kansas, Dolde buses his opinion that a thousand Kansas has go to Lincoln, on what Kansas has go to Lawrence in 1969 with everything gloomy "Uncle mire" called for support and when the special pulled out of Lawrence close to a thousand students were jammed in two or three coaches. The 6 to 10 victory came as a natural result.
Get Your Name on List.
Therefore the DAILY KANSAN, in order that Manager Hamilton may figure accurately on the number of coaches, will print the names of every man who goes to Lincoln. If you are a student and has ashamed of IHONE your name to Kansan 60. Watch for your name on the Kansan. If it isn't there, GET BUSY. —
