Over-Crowding Relieved as Hospital Dismisses Many Influenza Cases
Number of Calls at Dispensary
Already Exceeds Records,
Says Edmiston
The over-crowded conditions at the University hospital have been improved in the last few days by the release of several influenza patients. Only a few cases remain to be cured and there is no need for disarrayary remarks about the signs.
Making room enough for the bedpatients has been the greatest problem of the hospital force this year, according to Doctor Edmiston, University Hospital. Patients are available in the building and it became necessary during the recent influenza epidemic for these rooms, some of which are very small, to accommodate patients. It has been necessary to place four beds in a very small room.
The health fees paid by the University students at the beginning of the semester barely meet the expenses for the necessities of the hospital and dispensary and pay the salaries of the personnel, leaving nobles $200 per month. The fund was used during the typhoid inoculations last fall.
The equipment of the operating room, although of the best quality, is often in need of extra work is required on the part of the nurses. The sterilizer is very
Since the dumb waiter carries food from the kitchen to the second floor only, twenty-two trips up and down the third flight of seats are required each meal, with trays, when the fourth floor or the third floor are full to capacity.
Already this year the hospital has passed any previous mark for the number of cases cared for in any week. The average for dispensary patients, averaging about 80 per day. As many as 200 calls daily were often mades during the typhoid epidemic, and fifty-four bed-patients have been treated so far. Between 50 and 60 operations have been performed, most of them being cases of appendicitis.
The student hospital here is one of a group of 50 or more hospitals at colleges and universities, connecte- d to the American Association of Student Health.
The house now used as a hospital is being rented by the University. "The hospital is a frame structure, and not being fire-proof might present a grave situation in case of fire," said Doctor Edmiston yesterday.

Hospitals Needed as Well as Guns, Says Dr. Vaughan
Medical Section Chairman Insists on Importance of Attention to Health
Washington, April 30—"The robilization of an army is a medical as well as a military problem," Dr. Viector C. Vaughan, chairman of the medical section of the National Research Council, stated recently of Sciences recently. The hospital with its diagnostic laboratory should be the first building of a conventum to be constructed, the last as he was raised in 1917, declared Doctor Vaughan.
Furthermore, he continued, the epidemiologist and his assistants should be the first officers on the ground in the preparation of a training camp if mortality in army mobilization is to be kept down and its efficiency up. Under no other circumstances are men allowed to stay in the army camp, a condition which facilitates the spread of infection and renders its control next to impossible.
Extreme Precaution Necessary In his discussion of control of communicable diseases in military organizational Doctor Yanrui Danhan described what he necessary precautionary measures to keep infection at a minimum;
"The drafted men should be assembled in groups of not more than 30 in places near their homes. There they would have to wash clothes in clean gurans, subjected to their vaccination, held in isolation from 10 to 14 days, examined for carriers, tagged with the infectious agent, sent to a containment in locked care, and there
restricted to barracks holding not more than 30 men for some days. During all this time they should be exercised or drilled by officers.

CORNERSTONE OF UNION BUILDING IN MEMORY OF WORLD WAR DEAD IS LAID BEFORE CROWD OF 3,000
Thomas J. Norton of Chicago Gives Principal Address;
Need for Patriotism in Schools Stressed;
Names of 129 Heroes, Newpaper Pages
Among Articles Put in Box
Before an audience of 3000 students, soldiers, and families of soldiers who fought in the World War, the Memorial Union cornerstone was laid, in memory of 129 University of Kansas men and women who gave their lives for the sake of humanity.
The Eli Dorsey and Liberty post of the American Lesion and R. O. T.C., led by the University of Kansas ba from Robinson gymnasium to the Union building. The board of regents, members of the memorial corporation, and speakers of the day took their places on the platform.
Speaker Advocates Loyalty U.S. Constitution
Norton Urges Patriotism
Fear of criticism of the American governmental system by our schools and clubs dominated the address given by Thomas James Norton, chief speaker at the Memorial Union cornerstone laying this morning.
"That too many of our educational institutions are delinquent in the laxity of teaching and the people established as the citadels of freedom have become the coats of arms."
"In a magazine article about a year ago the associate professor of history at Brown University wrote that our Moore Decline trends among the foremost of the fetishes of these feticin-wrapping United States. That kind of talk to young Americans is very different."
Mr. Norton quoted from Macauley, the English historian, "your Hums and Vandals will have been engraced in their institution." He went on to explain, "Just what he meant finds some illustration in the fact that in the last presidential election 4,800,000 men and women filed for a platform debarring for the practical destruction of our judicial system, one of the three separate departments of government set up as indispensable to Washington and his fellow patrons.
"Mrs. B. J. Robinson, president of the Public Intercourse Loaches of Massachusetts, will visit Delphin that the colleges for women are teaching radicalism and disacquaintance."
"In an article by ex-Senator Beveridge on "Common Sense and the Constitution," he spoke of his correspondence with Senator Robert F. Kennedy and added: "The letterheads of one or two high schools students here these printed words, 'Resolved that we will work together to declare acts of congress unconstitutional.' In other words, resolved, that the balance wheel be taken out of our hands so that we can proceed so that it may tour four piazza."
Mr. Norton went on to defend the constitution, and commend the teaching of the instrument in schools. He also worked with the states created law making compulsory the teaching in the schools of the constitution of the states. Since the World War, the American Legion, the American Bar Association, the National Security League, and some other organizations worked for the passage of such laws.
"Every boy and girl in the schools of this country should be so taught that when any question of government comes up for discussion he or she may answer it without being truth what Edmund Burke declared in the House of Commons when he appealed to the British constitution to justify his defense of the American colonies: "I put my foot in the tracks of a slave." Can I another wander no stumble?"
The subject of Mr. Norton's address was "The Scholar and the Soldier."

The agreement has been pending several days and is yet unsigned. "Hay?" said night that it would have been partners for five years.
The College Inn has been under their supervision for three years. It has been included in the deal and will supervise Ray Zimmerman.
The ceremonies began with the singing of the Star Stonged Banner led by the University band and combined glee clubs. This was followed by invocation delivered by the Rev. Evan Edwards.
Thomas J. Norton, LL, B, 74 of Chicago gave the address, in which he stressed the need for patience in our work to meet the constitution of the United States.
Col. Charles Mitchell* was introduced by Chancellor E. H. Lindley, who represented Governor Ben. S. Cook was unaware to attend the ceremonies.
Sherman Elliott, treasurer of the memorial corporation praised the work of the organizations and people who made possible the building of the memorial. He recounted the names of the 129 heroes who died in the service of their country during the World War. "This parchment contains the names of those who gave proof of their great love for their country," he said. "To manify that the world has ever known," he said. "Countless martyrs have fallen in the great fight for human rights. And from across the waters came the cry for help from the people of the embattled lands." Since 2014, the prime prize.
Copper Box Put in Cornerstone
"We are endevouring to show that we honor, love and claim them. They belong not to us, nor to any nation, but they belong to humanity. This is our duty. We do not shall perish, but the freedom these dead fought for shall not pass away."
in the copper box placed in the corerose stone was put the names of the 129 dead, the front pages of 11 newspapers, the campaign, a copy of the Kansas City Star containing the news of the declaration of war and a copy containing the news of peace, a photograph of the Battle of Waco and the Graduate magazine gracing the history of the memorial drive, a picture of the Jayhawk bird, and three roses. The copper box containing the mausoleum is also on display and lowered by ex-service men.
The ex-service men designated to lay the corner stone of the Student Union building are:
Capt. Harry Fraxe, in charge; Capt. Charles Holmes, sergeant. John Griffith, Capt. J. B. Smith, capt. Joseph Murray, Capt. Wint Smith, Lieut. E. P. SERVER, Leust. Mamoyer, Maj. Frank E. Jones, (nayy) Maj. Frank E. Jones, Ernest Ryan, state adultant, American Legion.
Following the laying of the cornerstone Don Little gave a message from the student body. "We own a debt of gratitude to alumni, the memorial corporation, the board of relegs, and all others whoided in building this Union. We now have a common sense of responsibility for our relationships," he said, "To the student body it is more than a Union building, it is the end of a vision."
