State Fire Marshal
Warns Against Faulty
Christmas Decorations
Negligence the Most Common Cause of Fire Loss, He Believes
Topeka, Kan., Dec. 18. — Waukatsi against Christmas fires coming from the common cause, negligence, were issued today by Elmer E. Scott, state fire marshal, in the form of a number of don'ts.
Mr. Scott calls attention to the fact that no lives were lost last Christmas in Kansas from family decoration fires and only two more homes were burned. He known fact that the average December 25 is fraught with both death and destruction. He warns that the approaching Yuletide may be a repetition of some former ones, unless the people at large in celebrating the event adhere rightly to the common practices and things, the state fire marshal says: Cotton batting and other inflammable materials in decoration should be eliminated. Decorations and merchandise should not be draped around lamps or electric light fixtures, or in a house without wiring and display should be reported to the electrical inspector or in the absence of this official, to some competent electrician before being used. Electric lights only should be used for Christmas tree illumination. Do not under any considerations, use
Mr. Scott assumes the position that safe lighting for Christmas purposes can be installed much cheaper on the average than the faulty variety, when it is taken into consideration. The property is destroyed each year as a result of imperfect lighting, is nothing less than appalling.
Oread Starts Newspaper Staff for Publication to Be Chosen Shortly
Oread High School will issue a paper this week to be placed on sale Friday, Dec. 10. It will consist of eight pages, probably of typewriter paper size, and will be mimicographed, according to Prof. E. M Belles, of the social science department. The price will be 10 cents.
"The staff organization of the paper has not yet been confirmed, and so the plan was only permanently decided upon last Friday," said Professor Bellis this morning. "The credit for this morning, Mr. Olmstead, who first suggested it."
The purpose of the newspaper is to give the students an additional school activity, and to furnish them practical experience in the use of other forms of newspaper work. If the paper is successful it will be continued. Another issue is to be published after Christmas, featuring teachers and student teachers in the high school.
W. S. G. A. Group Gives Program Tawaii, an organized group of the W. S. G. A. gave a Christmas program at the old people' home last night.

England to Build Two Planes for British Air Navy
Air Craft to Be Larger Than "Los Angeles" of America, Says Designers
---
London, Dec. 17—"The American Los Angeles' is a baby airship." The gallant American craft is dwarfed to comparative insignificance by the two mammoth Leviathans of the air which Great Britain is to start building next July—mammoth ships to become the first flagship, perhaps, of the new British air navy.
To expedit the work so that the trial voyages may be made as soon as possible, voyages to Egypt or Australia or possibly New York, the construction of the ship has been cared for by a private firm signed by a private firm in Howden, Yorkshire, the R-101 by the air ministry itself at Cardington.
One of these gigantic dirigibles—each of a gas capacity exceeding 5,000,000 cubic feet—is known as the R-100, the other as the R-101.
Both the R-100 and the R-101, to be designated as sister ships, will be as nearly identical as practicable, according to information furnished by the United States in displacement and length far and away any other known air vessel.
Large Sheds Needed
No far actual construction cannot begin because no sheds big enough to house these great grey monsters has ever been built.
The K-101, it has already officially been announced, will be 720 feet in length, 140 feet in height, 150 feet in diameter, and will be driven by a turbine. It will also each, burning crude fuel oil instead of petrol. The displacement -5,000,000 cubic feet - is not considered excessive in view of the magnitude of the other dimensions. It is expected to be similar to the K-100 which will be closely similar.
If the airbags are to be used for commercial purposes, accommodation can be provided each for 100 passengers in the form of two-bedroom cabins on a separate deck from the living and smoking quarters. The cruising radius will be precisely calculated based upon its trip to Egypt a mere week-end jaunt.
Ships To Be Fast
The following will be the journey times of the R-101 on her empire flights:
Egypt - 3½ days.
India - 5 to 0 day.
Australia - 3½ days.
Canada - 5 days.
Cuba - 5 days.
In case commercial use brings it to New York, it is thought the engines of the R-101 may make the R-102 a trip across the Pacific to 48 hours.
Details about the twin giants came with the official announcement of the air ministry in regard to the R-101 Sir Samuel Hoare, the present Air Minister revealed the substance of his plans.
One of these masts, 180 to 200 feet high is to be erected shortly at Cardington, one in India, and as in the case of the sheds, possibly another at some middle point, probably Egypt. The masts will be of steel lattice, equipped with elevators and pipe lines for fuel.
On account of the cold seve
the annual Christmas tree pro-
gram will take place in Fraser
chapel at 7:20 and not in front
of Blake hall, as was previ-

Winfield, Kan., Dec. 18 - Sheet and snow were falling here today, causing difficulty in operation of street car and interurban lines. The temperature read 12 degrees above zero today. The storm and low temperature is expected to work hardship on the stock.

Following all national unions, the student at last arises and asserts his right, those inherent rights that have forever kept him under the yoke of professorism. Student public opinion has hit his bit at the University of Kansas as it did when Ben Harrison cut big figure in England and America.
The students in the class of labor problems under Prof. Domenico Gagliardive against the intolerable stress he has had, having no more quizzes, no more grades under "A." The iron hand of Professor Gagliardi was at last held; his subjects laid to the walls of tyranny and laid down a bill of rights.
Students Form Union to Abolish All Exams
"When in the course of human events it becomes so intolerable that it becomes necessary to make an organized protest against it, it is mutually understood that such protest is unacceptable. In the unindigested members of the Anti Quiz League, do hand ourselves into a union whose purpose shall be twofold as follows: (1) The abolition of all quizzes, punishment of professors for violating such being at the option of the union; and (2) The prosecution of all persons with numbers of all classes, this grade to be an absolute minimum.
"Done here in the year of our Lord 1924, December 15."
Dancing Class Cancelled
The University dancing class will not be held this week as previously announced on account of the holiday vacation immediately following according to Dick Matthews, director of the class.
Work will be resumed immediately after the holidays when additional foxtrot steps will be introduced as well as a review on previous work. In the near future Matthews will arrange to give the class at stated periods short talks on ball-room etiquette.
"I am going to appeal to the State Supreme Court for a restraining order to prevent the students from inadvertently quitting, which will be given in the near future," said Professor Gagliardo. Professor Gagliardo stated he would probably declare a "backout." He has always been in sympathy with his opponent and he sees nothing but anarchy and the fall of the race.
No Session Will Be Held Until After Vacation
At the meeting last week the attendance was slightly below normal due to the small attendance of the women. "This was due, without doubt, to the fact that the W. A. A. party was being held at the same time," said Agnes Husband, dean of women.
"The Scientific Christmas" was given by the members of the Home Economics club given at their Christmas meeting held in Fraser hall Wednesday afternoon. The play was written and enchanced by Viola Wohlstetter in the department of home economics and Mabel Grassler, e25.

"If the class were to see your picture, you would your picture taken and turn it in at the Jawahker office anyhow."
"Jan. 10 is still the deadline for glasses. Students can have their picture taken during the Christmas holidays at home by obeying these requirements in the making of glasses (18x4 inch bust size, medium hard shell), or using a digital gopher's signature. Turn in pair glasses now," said Nichols.
