Vol. XXI
Respect for Law is National Need Students Believe
Hower to Represent K. U at National Conference for Improving U. S. Ethics
"In a democracy like the United States respect for all laws and especially the federal constitution is a first principle of citizenship and of government. The eighteenth amendment of our land and violations of it, such as, weakens the authority and destroys the respect of our citizens for the whole body of laws." Such, in part, was the conclusion reached by the 206 delegates from 80 college towns elected to serve once at Washington, April 5 and 10, Ralph M. Hower, e25, represented the University at this parley, which was officially known as the University Students' Conference in belalah Patrick Murphy, Major of a citizenship of Pennsylvania was chairman of the conference. Mr. Malia represented Pennsylvania in the debrief with K. U. hure Wednesday. The program of the Washington conference focuses on prominent persons and discussions on the part of the delegates.
in Prominent Speakers Present
The List of prominent speakers in
Included Mabel Walker Willebrand;
assistant United States attorney-
gerald Burris; Senator Virginia;
Senator William E. Borah;
Senator Morris Sheeberd, and others.
"While the conference was concerned with law observance in general, the discussion was pointed principally at the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment," said Hower. The conference was not a prohibition meeting. It regarded the eighteenth amendment as a law pure and simple without regard for Dits merits. If the majority of the members of the committee asked that he let them repeat it through the "regular channels. Such was the sentiment of the delegates, according to Hower.
Hower expressed the belief that he university had no such problem there on faces the Eastern institutions of learning. Kansas is fundamentally dry and although there are rejuvenates, the University is dry compared to universities in the East and South.
Committee Appointed
Consideration was given to the various arguments, some plainly false, others mistaken, which the law interests have preposed against the amendment. In its findings the committee pointed out that the law caused more fairly and over a long period of time, and was adopted more overwhelming than any other amendment to the constitution, including even the one abolishing slavery. In other words, in no sense, the prohibition amendment " slipped over" on the American people.
At the end of the conference a student committee of 150 was organized with one delegate from each institution, represented at the conference and delegates from other universities not represented, for the purpose of keeping alive the spirit and purpose of the conference.

Bloodless Surgical Knife Introduced by Physician
Walstenholme
Lee S. Green
Lee S. Green
"Ratto knife, which vendels overheat," said Dr. L. E. Schmidt, a Chicago surgeon, in the flesh where the knife is applied, was demonstrated by Dr. L. E. Schmidt, a Chicago surgeon, in two operations in Chicago recently. The "knife" also makes possible very delicate operations, as it is very slender, resembling a knitting needle. The knife has a power radio transmitter. The knife forms one terminal and a sheet of tinfoil on which the patient lies forms the other. As the human tissue offers resistance to the curve of the knife, it burns its way through skin and muscle, quickly and without pressure. The tissue was seared to the depth of about one thirty-second of an inch in the operations performed, this searing made the operation virtuosic, bloodless, according to Dr. L. E. Schmidt.
