WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1925 PAGE THREE THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Welfare of Employees Concerns Big Business, Says J.E. DeMerrit Personnel Manager Addresses Business Finance Class This Morning Promotion of a family spirit among employees and the making of working surroundings as pleasant as possible is the desire of big companies today, said J. E. Be Merritt, perusal associate at Ward & Company this morning, in a talk before the class in business finance. There are several ways in which his company shares a personal interest in its employees. There is a loan association to which the employees contribute twenty-five cents a week. From this fund they can borrow money to meet sudden emergencies. If he has been an employee against the loss of wages due to slackness and other unavoidable causes. The medical department provides medical treatment employees. Each employee is also given a medical exe- trol of care he is allowed to start work. A girls club that is divided into two sections that meet once every two weeks is very influential in making the new girl employee feel at home with her fellow employees. The club is notified when *new girl* is employed and the members of the club take it upon themselves to see that she meets other employees and that she takes advantage of such features in recreation room. This club holds days on Tuesday and Friday. The Forward Club, made up of the executives of the company, has a completely furnished clubroom, the only one of its kind in the country. There is also a branch of the Kansas City public library in addition to the books that the company owns at the disposal of the employees. Map Proposal Submitted Commission, Hears Arguments for Consolidation (United Press) Washington, May 6. — The latest proposal to remake the railroad map of the "western United States cane country" is being issued again today when hearing was resumed on the application of the Van Sweringen brothers, of Cleveland, O1, for permission to carry 200,000 cds of "new Nickle Pad" system. A huge mass of evidence, including 100 exhibits covering the details of the financial organization of the five railroads—the present Nickle Plate, the Pere Marquette, the Erie, the Pittsburgh and Ohio, all of which will be united in a great eastern trunk system if the merger is executed—was obtained in the first six days of the hearing in April. The hearing was adjourned then to suit the convenience of the attorneys, with the perusal of the committee, insinuated its sense of the tremendous significance of the merger proposal. The hearings will continue for several weeks—perhaps into the summer—before the commission obtains a written opinion on whether to decide whether the consolidation plan is justified /under the Esch Cummins Transportation Act of 1920 and the subsequent voluntary policy consolidation adopted by the commission. J. J. Barnet, president of the Nickel Plato, is the principal technical witness. He is expected to be examined further today, and may continue on the stand for several days. O. P. Van Sweringen, chairman of the Nickel Plate board of directors and leader of the merger movement, is expected to testify within a week on the general importance and value of the plan for unification of properties and management along present lines and trade routes. Two Members Initiated by Educational Sorority Pl Liambala, Phleta, honorary educational sorority, conferred its key upon Ester Holcomb, c'25, and Sarah Williams, c'25 at its meeting in Henley house last night.

The chanter voted to send the new president to the biennial council at Bloomington, Ind., June 24 to 27. Seifriz Invents Method of Studying Protoplasm Philadelphia, May 8—An ingenious method for investigating the properties of living substance, or protoplasm, was outlined this afternoon before the American Philosophical Society by Dr. William Seifritz, a national research council follower at the University of Pittsburgh. (Science Savviza) Doctor Seifriz introduced into a bit of protoplasm a minute particle of magnetic material, one twenty-five hundredth of an inch in diameter, and then magnetized. Under the microscope the precise distance which the particle moved could be measured, as well as its return to its original position when the magnet was removed. This rebound in the particle to its original position when alive is a gummy, rubbery substance, more or less like gelatin in its behavior, rather than like a thick emulsion. Germany Is Beating Back Central Power Is Attempting to Regain Normalcy Germany is gradually beating back to normalcy and if she is not molested she will establish her status as a leading country of Europe, said Herr Brach, a young German who is in this country to represent his fathers manufacturing interests, in an interview with a Kansan reporter recently. According to Mr. Brach the election of Von Hindenburg was entirely unlocked for a few months ago, but that hasn't happened now and they wormish him. as a war hero. The newly elected president of the German republic had as his opponent a Catholic and as Catholicoism is o na very weak basis in Germany, the election could have but one outcome. opponent a Catholic and as Catholician is on a very weak basis in Germany, the election could have but one outcome. As an example of Von Hindenburg's integrity and honesty Heer Brach cited the fact that before he would consent to run for the office of German President, he was nouncing his allegiance to the old German Empire so that he could be free to take his outfit to support the Republic of Germany. This fact is not known in the United States by any authority, but the Hohenzollers are in Germany and that Von Hinderberg will not allow them to interfere during his term of office. The fact that much of the world will feel differed by this fact can find with the election of the former German warlord. Von Hindenburg is 78 years old, and it is doubtful if he will last out his term of seven years. Conditions in Germany are rather poor right now but if the people will support their president and the allies will not hinder his work the new republic will return to pre-war prosperity. Mr. Brech says that all the German people want at present is to be killed by Krupp. Krupp are now making tractors, all the German fortunes have been lost, and the people as a whole are on an even basis and working together.

The California Tech, published by the California Institute of Technology, recently conducted a faculty rating context. Students graded each professor according to their opinion of his clearness, knowledge, fairness, competence, like qualifications. Only five professors were given the highest grade. Students at Purdue University are asking for more comfortable chairs in their class rooms. Never Been Kissed Club Organized at University Have you ever been kissed? That is a personal question, to be sure, but if you haven't, you are in line to "manko" a recently organized society? It is called the Never Been Clubs made of young men. The head of the organization bears the title, Imperial Lizard. The name has no connection with "lunge lizard." In fact, that species is considered one of the club's mortal enemies. The Imperial Lizard reports a dearth of likely prospects. "When we started the organization, little did we realize that so few men were eligible even for a 'one over' by our rating committee," he said. That women students are not all antagonistic to the club is evidence by the fact that a few of them have been labeled "the Jew" to the Imperial Lizard, in "fact," he said, "one woman reported a man whom she said looked as if he ought to belong. We cannot base our memorship upon such simple evidence as So far the club has five members, representing three different councils. It will be decided upon "it certainly will not be the tulip" declared the chief. "Oeculation," he added, mouching the word gingerly, "that binds family ties is not objectionable to our members." On the ground that women attend classes with such zeal that they secure the best seats, the men of Oxford are opposed to women being in the institution and many prosecutions will not admit them to classes. A tourney to choose the best all-around athlete at the University of California is being held.
