on Labor Question
Labor Expert Declares Women Responsible for Future Legislation
That the fundamental cause of war are constitutionally economic war the belief expressed by Paul Blairhead of the League for Industrial Democracy, at the nominary fellowship lunch on at Mayer hall today.
"Before every great war," Mr. Blunhard said, "the potentially expired insurrection is that '9' won't help pen, because there is no little to be granted." However points are new in the case of Europe in favor of he be war?"
During the last war people were agreed, Mr. Blankhard pointed out that Europe was activated by economic motives, but were battleful in belief that the same was true of the early war. These same people were inclined to place the blame for the whole situation on Germany. Now that bickles are able to discive the operations impatiently they find that in reality Germany had a much smaller role than it was believed at the time.
A surplus of money for investment; saturation of the house markets; and a lack of raw materials to the countries will lead to the next war. International war will not pose Mr. Blimard condemned, until the formation of a more perfect union between the great labor forces of the

Kansas May Be Favored by Annual Peach Crop
Will Kanzan ever be favored by an annual pitch ever? This is a question that might parade even Barry bankish himself. But from the botany department comes a very encouraging report to the effect that it is at least probable. One thing that Kanzo can be thankful for is that he will still be able to pitch tools, providing they were not already killed.
The best peaches and peach crops come from the territory near large bodies of water. Three of the beat peach belts in the United States are the Great Lakes, the Atlantic, and the California belt. Present weather conditions for the rest of the country are such that the two kinds of weather—zero or below in the early part of the winter, and a cold freezing when buds begin to peach* in the early spring—kill the three up of every four years.
To insure a yearly pearson crop it will be necessary to cross two distinct types of trees. The present variety is not of the hardy type and the rest period is too short. It would be necessary to cross the hardy type with that of the type with a heavy rest period. Then China and it might be a wise plan to seek the home of the pearson for the required varieties.

Eclipse Lines Discovere
Women's Forum to Meet
Photographs of Red Light From Sun Are Made
(Helmut Merlen)
Pittsburgh, Fla., March 16—Mary

and each indicating the presence of
some chemical element, have been
found in photographs made of the
red and infrared light from the sun
at the time of the total eclipse
January 24 by Prof. H. D. Curtis,
professor of geography, University
of Pittsburgh, it was announced today.
These photographs were made at New Haven, Connecticut, where Doctor Cartia accompanied the eclipse expedition. To swarmworthy Col-
laws. They were made of both the first, the outer layer of the sun which causes ultraviolet radiation after totality, when the remainder of the sun's surface is covered by the moon, and of the corona, which is composed of the sun, then the sun is completely covered.
The apparatus used is a grating, spectrograph in which a curved piece of metal on which are ruled many time periods is placed on the place of the usual glass prism in spreading the beam of white light out into a colored spectrum. Doctor Curtis states that this apparatus is especially adopted to recording the spectrum in the deep red region of the part beyond, called the infrared.

G. A., "The meeting promises exceptional interest," Eva Drummen who has charge of the vocational guidance lectures said, "and all women of color are welcome."
One of them, found in the coronal spectrum, Doctor Curtis stated, may possibly be due to the element coronae, known only in the sun's core. The coronae were grafted on a geographie made at another eclipse will throw much light on their origin.
The deepest red waves visible to the eye are about one thirty-three hundred thousandth of an inch long, and the longest previously recorded in the flash spectrum are about one fourthillionth of an inch long. They show many lines up to those corresponding to a wave length of about one twenty-hundred thousandth of an inch. Among these are many lines never before observed. Some of them have been identified as being due to chemical interference, but none cannot be found to correspond with any known element.

Jardine Outlines Plans for Better Aid to Farmers
Department Reorganization and Coolidge's Policies Are Secretary's Big Jobs
United States
Washington, March 16—The new secretary of agriculture, William M. Martinez of Kansas, has two primary objectives: to increase the effect in the new administration.
The first is to "well" to the nation and to congress President Coolidge's program of farm legislation, as formulated by the president's conference and recommended to but not harm the last session of congress.
The second is to reorganize the personnel of the department in an attempt to get more co-ordination and fewer interdepartmental controversies than has been the case in the past.
Jardine Remains College Head
Jarine, head of the Kansas State agricultural college, largest of its kind in the world, for more than a decade, is believed to have the couple's sons among whom he worked. He is particularly well fitted to work for the Cordillae farm policy, because he was a prominent member of the comma community, Lady of Wooning, which drafted it.
The Coolidge theory is that the farmer should be enabled to help himself with as little direct government supervision as possible.
The one important piece of legislation suggested by the conference provided for a federal co-operative marketing board to further farm marketing by registration, assistance and advice for the co-operatives.
The two houses of congress try the project into bits with amendments and made by not passing any new laws. The House is likely to disapply investment to the president.
Opposition From Fear... Most of the opposition came from organization leaders in form plant organizations Mr. Cooleidge believed, it is Jardine's job to explain the program, throwing light on the aims and probable effects which will result, the president feels in adapte the program in congress next year.

University of Washington Rejects Nat'l Federation
The National Student Federation was recently formed by several west African students. It is making it a national organization similar to the European Student
That it would be inadvisable for the students of the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, to join the National Student Federation is the report of a student committee appointed to investigate the situation.
Duplication of effort, since the wee coacht already has an Intercellularite Association; because it would only intensify the over-organization on the Washington campus, and because the college of Northwest have joined the Federation, are some of the reasons given for not entering the organization.

Experts in Many Occupations Will Give Lecture Series After Easter
Plans for a series of five hiccups on the choosing of a vocation were completed Tuesday by the faculty committee on vocations. The plans call for one address each week between classes to be given by experts in law, medicine, business, engineering and politics. According to Dean Dyer, a member of the committee, the speakers will not make any plea that students take part in the committee, but they will explain the advantages and disadvantages of their professions.
"There has been quite a demand for something of this kind," Dean Dyer said, "Numerous students have expressed themselves as believing that the University does not give enough advice on choosing even great courses."
In addition to the lectures, the committee has made arrangements with Earl Manchester, librarian, to hold a lecture on the topics he cornewd with the choosing of a vocation placed in a particular section on the library in order that students will be able to find data on the various occupations with greater
According to Dean Dyer, the scheduled series of lectures will be the first attempt at teaching each advice to the men students, although the W. S. G. A. has, on certain occasion, obtained speakers to aid the women students

Astronomers Deduce
Tardiness of Eclipse
New Haven, Conn., March 18—
The natronometers have determined
the responsibility for the five seas;
hardness of the solar eclipse of Janu
Both sun and moon have been found guilty on the following counts:
Misplaced sun, two seconds; mis placed moon, one second; sun are mis placed moon, one second.
Prof. E. W. Brown of Yale University explained today that if the sun is aboard its predicted schedule or if the moon is behind, a solar eclipse will occur. U. S. Naval Observatory at Washington and the Royal Observatory at Greenwich reveal that the sun on Jan. 24, was sufficiently above the horizon to allow it. Although the actual position of the moon is still to be determined accurately from observations made
all over the world, it was probably in error sufficiently to account for about two seconds. The remaining second of time between actual testing was probably the result of using a too small diameter of the sun in the astronomical calculations, or a too large diameter of the moon, or both.
The answer is—exactly 63 cents, according to a statement in the "New York Times," which says it makes seven bars of soap; iron enough for a medium sized nail; sugar enough to fill one shaker; and lime enough to whitewash.
