Constitutional Amendment to Benefit Workers Is Endorsed by Committee
Dr. Florence Sherbon, professor of some economics and director of the child research bureau, will speak at the Y. W. C. a veper Tuesday afternoon at 4:10, in Myers hall or another Amendment to the Constitution."
Mrs. Mary P. Van Zile, state chairman representing the national Y. W. C. A. legislative committee, is making the co-operation of all the local associations in introducing the child labor amendment into all circles for discussion. The committee explains what the amendment is, and why it is needed.
It is an amendment to the federal constitution embling congress hereafter to make lawa against the exploitation of childhood at premature ages or by injurious labor. It is necessary legally because two supreme government legislators and congress statutes have indicated that congress has not now the power. It is necessary socially and morally because child labor is a national problem and an interstate abuse for children. The new statute quotes, "Child labor is the work of children under conditions that interfere with the physical development, education, and opportunities for recreation which children require. It is the working of children at unit age." Children are not or under unhealthful conditions.
"We feel that we are most fortunate in getting Doctor Sherbon to talk to us at the meeting, and we also feel that the meeting will be one that all university women should be interested in," said Helen Martínez, chairman of the meetings committee, Doctor Sherbon.

Quenemo Girl Wins Prize
Takes Second Place in Contest for H. S. Students
Ruth Mayo, of Quencone, won second prize in the high school essay contest of the League of Kansas Municipalities, with her essay on "My Home" about the plight of a very complete historical account of the founding and growth of the town.
Quenemo was founded by the old chief Kecsküc and is named for the father of a beautiful Indian maiden, who astride a pony dashed into the camp which is now Quenemo, crying, "The whites have come." The first settlers to come to the agency were Logan George, in 1888, and Ivan James, in years later. Both of these men did much in building up the agency.
The date rule will be suspended for the Dramatic Club play, "The Truth," Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and for that event only.
At this time there were few white inhabitants and it was little more than an Indian agency and the seat of $^o$ the Sae and Fox Indian tribes. A large mission was constructed south of the town but it was never much of a surprise and was finally converted into buildings and was converted into harbs which still stand.
Quenemo is located in a fertile valley at the extreme eastern edge of Osage county, on the Maris des Cygnes river. This is the romantic location of Osage River west of the Missouri line and means "marsh of the swan". On the early map it was called the Osage river, so in 1858, Weller county, as it was then called, was changed appropriate name of Osage county.
Kathleen O'Donnell.
In 1868 a treaty with the Indians was made by which the government secured the land on which Quemone new stands. The following year the Indians were removed and the county rapidly filled with whites. In 1870 the old agency was laid out into lots and from a town of 100 inhabitants it has grown into a thriving little city.

Great Interest in Christmas Tree Program Shown
Uses
Alumni Send Contributions to University for Friendship Fund
One woman graduate last year sent in her personal check for $15. This year an alumnus sends the following letter to Dean John R. Dyer.
"The Christmas Tree tradition started here in 1921 is spreading in importance," said John Blake in discussions plans for the tree this year. The tradition is barely getting started but already it is known abroad and many alumni and former students are showing active interest in making it on to become one of the really famous elements of University Ie here.
"I have been carting about for a way to do my bit toward stimulating the Christmas spirit, and my mind is buzzing with excitement at K. U. Since I have recently organized a glee club, and the people in town seem pleased with the idea of our tradition, it only remains to arrange for the candies and make gifts."
"I am not sure that the powers that be at Lawrence will be pleased with the idea of spreading their tradition among the Kansas pearsonity. I am just a man, and I am simply handing on the torch which was hit on Mount Orend.
"Specifically, my requests are three. First, may I send the money we collect to you at Lawrence to be sent in to the K. U. money?" Second, can you furnish the candle about two hundred of them—black and black; or two hundred of them—black and black? Will the black ribbons on the red candles. Third, can you let me have any effective information. I am conscious of the need of help for European students in past years, but have no idea of the present situation. "If you do not have the information I ask, or you do not have time to answer, it shall appreciate your referencing, if some one who can give it to me."
This letter was sent to Dean Dyer by Clifford Tenney, Leoti, Kansas.
