Tittle Emphasizes Nearness of God to Man; Should Seek for Truth Everywhere
The series of discourses conducted by Dr. Ernest F. TITLE in connection with religious week on the campus ended with the meeting last night at which A "Rendezvous with Life" was the subject discussed. At the two previous meetings, Mr. Ernest said, "God and Evil" were the subjects considered.
The council of religious workers, under whose auspices the program for the week was conducted, were highly pleased with Doctor Tittle and his work. There was an enthusiastic religious thought, according to E. B. Shultz, Y. M. C. A. secretary. A continually increasing attendance as the discussions progressed testified to the interest and attention of the doctor Tittle's address attracted.
Emphasized in Doctor Tittle's addresses throughout was the fact that God is something near us, in everything around us, and a part of our everyday lives—not someone apart from the world and ourselves.
"Religious week has been one to the most worth-while experiences of my career at K. U., and Hosea L. Mason is one of our executive committee, this morning."
God Not Mysterious
in the discourse Thursday evening on "A Rendezvous with Life," Doctor Tittle included a rendezvous with God, emphasizing that wherever we find truth, beauty, goodness and love, there will we find God. We should seek to know God, best selves, we communicate with God. We should seek to know the truth in all fields and look for the beautiful – in all things – that God will mean life with God." he said.

Thursday evening meetings the Jackson
Jubilee Singers from Western
University of Kansas City assisted

Now Comes the Educational Millennium--'Get Engaged and Raise Grades,' Says Yale Prof.
"Get engaged and raise your grades," in the advice of a Yale professor published recently in an educational periodical. Dates, girls with no dates, students in love, and engaged students are some of the titles given to the groups experimented with.
"Only evening dates were recorded," says this article, "and a two minute talk on the telephone or if the hallway was not counted."
Twenty-five per cent of the women in the group called "dates" are among those with a history of intelligence. But scarcely one-fourth received averages grades, the remaining eight received higher ones.
"Can it be," asks the author, "that the personality which bakes for popularity also radiates into the grading system?"
Out of 27 girls who had no dates during the school year only one-tenth fall in the lowest tenth in intelligence while the median of the group is seven points above that for the school as a whole. But these girls receive
Rhetoric Group Hears Miss Laird's Discussion of Capt. Bone's Work
Students Urged to Study the Writing of This Noted
Seaman
"Although his publications are few they are uniformly good and of high artistic quality," said Miss Lailad if the English department chose him. Capt. David V. Bose before a group of freshman metric students yesterday.
Captain Bone is a typical seaman, having served his apprenticeship on a sailing vessel and having followed the sea since he was 16 years old. He comes of a talented Glasgow family. His brother, John, taught him another brother, James, has written a guide to the city of Glasgow.
Miss Laird recommended to the reader, unacquainted with Bone's books, to begin with "The Brass" and "Bone's Book of the Sailor," which is largely autobiographical. His next book "Broken Stovage" is a collection of sketches of a sailor's life. "The Merchant-Man-at-earth" contains tales of his experiences in the war.
"His story 'Errors of Judgment' in the volume entitled 'Broken Stoware' is comparable to Joseph Conrad's 'The End of the Tether' and 'The Merchant Cops Corp.' of the finest in the language." Mair Lafay declared.
Swarthout Elected to Office
Miss Laird crossed the Atlantic a few years ago on the Anchor Inner "Columbia" which Captain Bone was at that time commanding. He went on to take personal incidents of the voyage and of her acquaintance with Captain Bone.

In selecting students in love, the principal criterion was incessant dating with the same student only once. Here only one student out of the twenty-seven is in the lowest tenth in intelligence. In this group also, the grades rank higher than the average intelligence of the class.
In studying students who were engaged, the experimenter found that their intelligence was seven points below the average for the class that their engagement was all average. Engaged students with whom I have talked tell me of their working hard in their studies after becoming engaged," says the author.
'An inculvation in the college paper, seizing upon this fact, urged all students who were in love to imminently become engageees of such an appeal as apparent, which apparently although it may not have been ill-founded.

But we would still have fuel, according to Professor Cavdy, in the form of natural gas used in the form of natural gas temperature. For light kerosene would be used in the form of candles. Each of these assertions was demonstrated before the eyes of the audience with the aid of a flame or by producing the low temperatures.
Professor Cady was a co-disever of the gas, helium, in the natural environment and has experience with low temperature work in gasses made him an important member of the force which developed during the war.
Changing a dish full of aluminum filings and liquid oxygen from a temperature of 312 degrees below the boiling point in the instant of time required for an explosion was the last and most startling of the experiments. The heat developed was so intense that the glassware holding the mixture was melted to shapelessness

Prof. Albert Feuillerat Gives Student Lecture
The importance of the interpretive quality in modern literary criticism was emphasized by Prof. Albert Peouillart in his address to the French students of the University of Paris, who heard auditorium yesterday afternoon. More than 300 students heard the address which was given in French.
Criticism based purely on the investigation and acquisition of facts is almost worthless, according to Professor Feuillerat, for the more 10s are too complicated for the average audience of readers to understand. Scientific investment is, as such, just as a chemist would use his investigations, as a n device for making general laws, the speaker said.
Professor Feuillerat, who is now exchange professor at Harvard University, is the official newsman for information organization of French clubs. He is accompanied here by his wife who Paul Bourget, noted French author.

War Will Be Long One;
Preparing for Wors
Propose to Test Chemical and Industrial Machinery of Nation
Paris, March 14 (United Press).—On the theory that modern war extends to every branch of national forces, it is important to the fighting forces, of all the civilian and industrial resources of France in case of war, have basic equipment.
A special government commission has submitted its report to the army commission of the chamber of deputies, in the form of a series of reports.

The proposals include a vast scheme for testing all France's chemical and industrial machinery, to ensure that it may be adapted as conditions require. The demands of war at short notice. Care is to be taken that stocks of raw material required in time of war be collected and disposed throughout the country, so as to be immediately available at the outbreak of hostilities.

Would Make All Cabinet Officials Feel Responsible
Amendment for Compelling Appearance of Officers in Both Houses Considered
J W T Mason
By J. W. T. Mason
(Written for the United Press)
"Nationwide" (The New York Press)
—A constitutional amendment to compel cabinet officers to appear on the floor of both houses of congress for i-temporalations concerning the conditions being considered by constitutional authorities as the most practical way for the American people to keep the law in place. Cabinet officers should be responsible to the people and not solely to the president, these men argue. They can be made responsible to the people because being made responsible to the green is
If the secretaries of the navy and the interior had been at the call of congress for questioning the war effort, they could have endured. Interplays could have been directed against the proper captain officers concerning the inefficient open ship board; the shipping board and of many other departmental weaknesses, the American people would have been able to lose or disperse from successes and losses.
Relic of Absolutism
The principle of cabinet officers being solely responsible to the head of the government is a rule of absolution. It was put down in 1857, and kept the legislative and executive branches of the government entirely separate. Such separation is regarded as a sign of democracy. In the modern operation, the two branches should be made to co-operate; and that can only be done by compelling the executives to be responsible to the legislature, which represents the woole.
No such scandals as are continuously occupying the time of Washington could happen in Great Britain, advocate of the amendment point out. The cabinet chiefs of Great Britain are directly involved in making decisions that must make their appearances on the floor of Commons or the House of Lords, and must submit to cross-examination. In that way, the British people are able continuously to check up on the activities of the British cabinet and ensure that the British cabinet can work his own will behind the screen of parliamentary immunity.
It is disconcerting for Americans realize that the new democratic nations, formed as the result of the American Revolution, are the American form of government and adopted the British. The American method is concerned with protecting the behind the times. It has been turned down by the modern democracies because it doesn't work in the interests of pups. It also helps to crookedness in government.
Difference in Systems
The essential difference between the American and the British systems lies in the responsibility of cabinet officers to the legislative branch of the government. British cabinet officers are always members of parliament, either by voting or by having seats in the House of Lords. It would complicate the American system too much if the President had to choose his cabinet from among members of congress. That isn't necessary. The basic necessity is to compel cabinet members to appear in congress for interpellation.
It is this element which has had its decisive influence in causing the new demographic boom in the U.S. under American governmental plan. There is no great foreign nation that is now using the American system, but it is inefficient only in Washington.
All Waterwork Now Publicly Owned
(Services Service)
As far back as 1800 there were 16 privately owned waterworks in the United States supplying water to cities and villages. The transfer of the last of these, that at Morristown, N. J., from private to public ownership, was completed in 1849. The only municipal water supply which has been publicly owned from the eighteenth century to the present is that at Winchester, Va.
