Powers to Meet to Alter China's Customs Duties
eastern Nation Is Bound by Western Countries to Keep Tariff Very Low
(United Press)
Peking, Oct. 20.—When representatives of the nine Washington Conference signatory powers meet here or Oct. 20 to consider alterations in China's customs duties, they will probe unparalleled cleavage or earth.
No. 38
China, greatest single nation of the world in size, is skinned hard and foot in regard to the tariff rate on goods coming into her own territory. While others navy charge what they please upon Chinese goods entering the country, China nearly a score of owers to make any increase whatever in her rate.
**LAST RATIO**
If China's tariff rate is but five per cent. Obviously this is an insignificant factor in her financial income. In addition to the fact that China can receive, from a 5 per cent rate, only a fraction of the income she would go if left to fix her own tariff rates, the Chinese government can only enjoy where surplus is left after the payment of interest and principal on its loans. And because the fact the amount annually collected is barely enough to pay for the annual amortization of the Roxer index.
Up to the year 1843 the then Chinese empire enjoyed full tariff autonomy. As a result of the Opium war 1853, China lost its own marine customs duties and a fixed tariff rate of 5 per cent ad valorem as applied. It first applied to Great Britain but China soon found a new tariff rate of 10 per cent on her own right to fix a tariff rate.
Difficult to Revise Tariff
Difficult to recover Tape
Under the existing customs regime it has been easy to give a difficult to resolve. The revision of 1918 was effected only after six years of negotiations, and being based on the average prices of 1912-1916, yielded only three and one half per cent actually. Even had the full five per cent be available it would have been a comparatively small sum.
The Washington conference provided for a special conference to go into China's customs situation. But France having a private battle with China on the boards, deferred ratification of the conference proceeded, and last the conference will meet, but the scene has greatly changed since 1922.

G. S. Lambert Will Teach for Knappen in Geology
Prof. G. S. Lambert who will take Prof. R. F. S. Knappen's place in the geology department arrived Oct. 17 and took up his duties as professor of economic geology and engineering when he was teaching at Penn is taking a year leave of absence.
Professor Lambert came here from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he was part time instructor while taking a graduate course. He was an assistant professor in the University of Montana the four preceding years. Geology, mineralogy, and petrography were the subjects he taught at the university. Professor Lambert held the office of geologist for the Montana state bureau of mines and metallurgy at that time.
Prof. Frank E. Ross Discovers New Stars in Photographic Study
Largest Refracting Telescope in World at Yerkes Used
in Analysis
Williams Bay, Oct. 20.-Runaway stars and new variable stars that periodically become bright and then faint are being discovered by Prof. Frank E. Ross, of the Yerkes Observatory, as a result of the study of photographic plates in the observatory's files.
Various fields of stars largely in the Milky Way, were photographed some 20 years ago by the late Prof. E. E. Barnard who used the Bruce photographic telescope. This instrument is a camera with several lenses, the largest ten inches in diameter, and it is mounted so as to follow the stars in the sky. It captures plentiful motion across the sky. To discover what has happened in the intergal, Professor Ross is comparing them with similar photographs which he is making of the same regions through the Bruce telescope.
So far, Professor Ross has examined 25 pairs of plates in this way and has found more than 150 rapidly move or propel them. But not all of these that were not known before. But these plates only measure motor across the sky, and if a star happen to be moving directly to or from the earth, its motion will not be apparent. Such motion, called "radial velocity," can occur by changing the star's light in a spectroscope.
For three nights a week, when weather permits, the great 40 inch refracting telescope at Yerkes, the large set of its kind in the world, is used to make those spectrum photographs of earth. B. Prost, director of the observatory and is now carried on by Prof. S. B Barrett and Dr. Otto Struve.
German Songs Discussed
Next Monday Doctor Kellerman will speak on the German folk song from 1660 to the present day. The meeting while under the auspices of the German club are open to anyone interested.
"The German Folk Songs from the Eighth to Sixteenth Century" was the subject of the discussion of the German club day Monday afternoon at their weekly meeting in room 313 Fraser hall.
Dr. Fritz Kellerman of the German faculty gave a talk on the "early German folk songs." "Folk songs began in the eight century," said Doctor Kellerman during the course of his talk. "They rose to their height when German culture was at its height" about 1500. It was then that Luther translated the Bible, Alphonse Duval the painter, Hans Sacht, the great dramatist, Copernicus, and Johan Gutenberg, the inventor of printing, foullared."
After the lecture Margaret Fisher, fa26, and Inez Maria, fa28, fa28 sang two folk songs. Later the whole club sung some folk songs.

Education System May Be at Fault in Health Matters
Men and Women of Today Have Little Knowledge Concerning Self Preservation
(United Press)
Chicago, Oct. 20—Men and women individually and collectively are in general indifferent to matters of health except when illness appears to work anguish in the home or have in the social fabric.
Perhaps our educational system is at fault in that it does not sufficiently teach knowledge of life itself, its origin, its budding, its growth and the laws which pertain to the maintenance of its purity and strength.
Why does this carless or unwisco attitude of mind exist?
Humankind however still refuses to recognize that there are preventive measures known to medical men which would, if actively used, reduce our enormous tax exp-and-matures for the building and maintenance of hospitals, asylums, poorhouses and penitentiaries. We have no physical and mental wrecks who have been ignorant of or have broken the laws of health.
Health promotion is the great aim of the Gorgas Memorial Institute and of scientific medicine. The knowledge of how to keep humanity fit becomes part of our heart with the mounting information derived from careful research studies.
Mass health is the sum of individual healths. What knowledge then is of most worth to the individual to carry him on in the good life, like lifelong self-presentation. Well trained, scientific doctors of medicine should be his guides, and throughout life he should advise with them, at intervals having his body exposed to the elements of rust and decay. By following such a plan, and by instituting correction when faulty ways of living and disease breeding factors are found, one will reach the allotted three score points for the physical disability on the journey.

Porto Rican Youths Hope to Visit U. S., Says Faculty Member
Is Impressed With Familiar Between Instructors and Students. Here
"Almost every boy in Porto Rico is a desire to come to the United States," said Marceliano Gonzales, instructor in the Spanish department of the University. It was six years ago that Gonzales realized his ambition in this line.
Mr. Gonzales was born in Lares, P.R., and lived there 14 years. From that time until he was graduated from the high school, he made his home in San Juan, the capital of the island. Due to the influence of an American teacher there, Mr. Gonzales attended a private school, spending the summer in Philadelphia, enrolled in Elsworth College, at Iowa Falls, Iowa.
He received his A, B degree from that school, and then began work on his master's degree at the University of Iowa. While there he was graduate assistant in Spanish. He remained there until 1954, when he became a member of the faculty here.
In answer to a question as to the difference between this University and the University of Iowa, Professor Gonzales said that the students, and in fact all the people in Lawrence, are much more friendly than those farther away. In too, a much greater number of the students here are interested in Spanish.
Customs in Porto Rico do not greatly differ from those in this country, Mr. Gonzales said. The people there are quite democratic and very hospitable, and are conventions in every respect.
"The thing that impresses a stranger first," he said, "is the easy familiarity between students and instructors."

There are 107 students registered at the University who have no addresses registered at the post office, accorded to Mr. C. B. Hoaford, Lawnspott noster. "We have numerous packages and mail which we are unable to deliver due to failure of students to their addresses," said Mr. Hoaford.
Sixty-five fraternities, sororites and societies having Greek letter names are listed at the post office; one of these names are so similar to those organizations, or to their members addressed sometimes with Greek characters, sometimes with the name written in full, and other times with only the initials, so that it is almost impossible for them to be called the mail to keep in mind the different variations by which the organizations are known.
