John Davis Assails Republican Party in Topeka Speech
Democratic Nominee For President Announces Himself as Man
(United Press)
Topeka, Sept. 13.—John W. Davis,
Democratic presidential candidate, toight enrolled himself in the army of the plain people. Davis put his taste behind him. He apparently forgot he had ever been a member of congress or ambassador to the court of St. James.
He spoke to the Kansas farmers in their own language, assailing the Republican party as the party of "special privilege." Davis told them that the only hope for progressive administration at Washington lay in the support of his group in his attack on the Republicans. Davis stressed the uselessness of a protest vote for La Follette, as far as liberal legislation and administration was concerned. Davis presented himself as the exponent of the Jeffersonian theory of "equal rights to all and special privilege to none" as opposed to the opposition that "government is the province of the rich and the well born and the able."
In eight stops in Kansas and Nebraska, made during the day, Davis hammered on this theme. He analyzed the political theories of the two major parties and endowed to convince the farmers that the Democratic party was the friend of all classes; that the Republican party had special privilege to an "industrial flock" to the detriment of the farmer's interest.
A note of confidence crept into Davis' speech. Herocracy he had always quilified his pledges with the phrase "if I am elected president," but today he reportedly insisted that the federal judiciary, a cratic congress would be elected to support him in carrying out his program.
Gov. Charles W. Bryan, his running mate, travelled through Nebraska with Davis introducing him at several points and Davis paid high tribute to the Nebraska governor in all his speeches in the state.
'Egg Case' Merchants Mar Campus Beauty

"What hurt do they do?"
"Can't something be done about it?"
"We need a zoning law."
"They ought at least to be made to build decent looking shacks."
Such are the conflicting comment heard on the campus as a result of Chancellor Lindley's statement at conference V. Friday, that efforts to stop a bombing at the university business concerns had failed. The Chancellor of having ureaded a Kansas City business man to give some consideration to the desire of the University for decent surroundings, in the same spirit that he approves zoning ordinances in his own city. This is one reason as a result the Hill may suffer from a flood of small and unsightly commercial establishments.
"We need convenient places to get a bite to eat on the run," said a college senior today, "but I can't see that we need dry goods and clothing and shoe shops ten steps from the eampus. We are able to get down there when we shop around. We don't have to have two bus districts."
Other students, while agreeing that the approaches to the University ought not resemble the scenes around the railway station in the typical small town, nevertheless feel that attractive stores built to harmonize with the environment do so harm. "But the egl case now being stuck into every vacant corner are a little too much," declared one "Steps will be taken at the first opportunity to get a state law which will make possible a zoning ordinance in Lawrence," promised Chancellor Robert S. Blake, the time only protection for the Ursuliversity's interests is the loyalty of its students."
Edward Taylor, M. S. '20, who has been in West Indies gathering specimens of snakes and reptiles for two years, has returned, and is enrolled in the University working for his master's degree. Part of his collection he sold to Yale University for $15,000.

Dr. Allen Pleased By Large Enrollment in New Coaching Course
Staff on Twelve-Month Basis Great Returns Expected; Gym Remodeled
One hundred men and 50 women are enrolled in the new coaching course recently established in the University. The four-year course leads to a B.S. degree in the School of Education.
"We are expecting great returns from this course," said "Phoo' Allen in a statement issued yesterday, 'The special training acquired will be reflected in the high schools of Kansas by those who go out to teach.
"Our entire coaching staff is now on a twelve-month basis. This plan stabilizes their tenure of office and places their vocation on a worky plane—a plane on which the making of men is the chief business."
Dr. Allen believes that every indivisual is a star at something. The new plan of physical exercise is to run about 10 miles, and what line of shortest he may excel.
"Iintercollegiate athlete's stimulus and unify school spirit," added the Kansas athletic head. "We are now in agreement with the scope of intercollegiate athletics."
Intramural and inter-class athletics will be centered around the coach in school, according to "Phog."
Remodeling the gymnasium is in line with the new policy. A new system of basket lockers has been implemented, and a handball court has been erected. Romu for three handball courts has been provided. New tennis courts are being built to meet the needs that in the next two years there will be more than six available.
Start Big Ocean Survey
Inventory of Sea Life Also is in Plans
Washington, Sept. 12—Definite plans for the beginning of the greatest scientific survey of the ocean ever undertaken are contained in recommendations just adopted by a Commission on Oceanography, consisting of representatives from various technical burunes of the Government and all institutions, in session at the Hydrographic Office of the Navy Department here. The Commission has designated the Caribbean Sea region, and neighbouring parts of the North Atlantic and south through the Panama Canal to the Galapagos Islands in preparation with later more convoluted and in-depth discussions with the Pacific and North Atlantic oceans.
These expeditions in a specially equipped ship, fitted with laboratories for the examination of specimens taken at sea, are expected to yield information of the highest scientific and practical economic values of fisheries along our coast and farmers in the interior of our country.
Conditions of the western part of the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean are believed to have a definite oceanic origin, middle western, and eastern states, while geological exploration on the sea bottom around the Antillean chain may yield important knowledge about earthquakes and volcanic activity.
The exploring ship will be equipped with the same dome finder by which continuous sonocode and accurate acoustic imaging can be carried forward. The scientific staff will be under the direction of three scientists of highest caliber; one an oceanographer, one a geologist, and one a marine biologist, the planters by the committee.
An inventory of the life in the sea upon which future generations will have to draw more and more for food is contemplied while important fishing banks of immediate commercial value may be located.

Disappointment in Defense Day Tests May Cause Shakeup
Sima $ ^{0} $ Proportion of American Communities Held Test Demonstrations
Washington, Sept. 13. A general backup of the reserve organization of the army seemed probable today as a result of certain disappointments in the defense test. Although the war department termed the general results satisfactory, it is understood that the turnout of "one day" events from communities participating were not entirely what was hoped for.
Out of the 15,702,78 persons who participated in the test throughout the period, 40% themselves for one day service with any of the regular military or civilian corps.
With 129,600 regular army troops and 272,000 national guard troops the actual military mobilization was only 129,000.
Inasmuch as the war department lays for these defense tests coercive a desire that participants is those tests offer themselves to patients with one of the regular organization, the result was not wholly pleasing.
Another feature of the test that was disappointing was the relatively small proportion of American community, which hold services.
Though all the large ones bed ima-
mising demonstrations, the total number of communities survived varied from 6,525 or about one-eighth of the 2,000 incorporated communities of his country.
The war department's view that he test was satisfactory is based the fact that this was the first test and consequently a full and efficient response was perhaps not to be expected.

Stamp Act Advocate Found in Joe College
Joe College sat in his room in a slate of dishabille. He had no clean un-..., nor hirses, nor hand-kerchiefs nor nothin'. But he did have a date! He was wondering how to have nothing or not nothing to wear. His laundry hadn't come back from Podunville, Ark. Now Joe had taken his laundry to the postoffice morning, early. His mother usually washed it and sent it back to him by Friday so that he could have blinny on weekends, even when he had no laundry. That is clean laundry.
The reason was that Joe, in his haste to get his laundry to Podunkville and back, had forgotten to remove, by the tellous process of a Gillett case, the cancelled stamps on the six sides of his laundry case. Also he forgot to return address on the little yellow card on the case. His laundry case lay in a lonely curne in Uncle Sam's letter exchange waiting for Joe to claim it, for the bad postmaster reused to send it on to Podunkville unless it was free of used stamps and addressed in character that did not receivable the press account, in 'Thinsea' of a tong war.
Joe College sat in his room, and at, and sat and sat!
