Williams Writes Article on Railroad Question
Advocates Combination of Private Ownership and Government Control
C. C. Williams, professor of civil engineering at the University, has a timely article in the April number of Proceedings of the American Society of Civil Engineering, a New York publication, on "The National Railroad Question of Today."
"A median course between private owners, on the one hand, and government ownership on the other, a plan that would bring together into a partnership the parties involved, and harmonize and merge the estates is the solution of the railroad problem advocated by Professor Williams.
Private operation but government financial control are the essential elements of his plan.
"So far, the only solutions of the railroad problem commonly advocated are a complete return to private ownership and operation after the expiration of the government lease, or ownership and operation by the federal government.
"In order to obtain the advantage of direct routing and of pooling equipment and similar methods of operation which the present regime has demonstrated to be advantageous, the railways should be grouped permanently into regional systems and incorporated under holding companies. Such regional system should follow the natural traffic groupships, instead of artificial and arbitrary regional assignments made by the Director General, or even those of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
"The major financial policies of such large companies as just suggested could best be regulated by the federal government holding a controlling share of the stock. Under such an arrangement, no stock watering or other fraudulent procedure could be carried out without government sanction. A ready mama of such a scheme railway securities undoubtedly such a organization would be to issue the private owner's stock as junior to the privately owned stock, making it the first to meet assessments and the last to receive dividends.
By entering into a partnership, the public could control the general policies of the railways and thus protect their rights, and, at the same time, share their proportionate responsibilities.
"All such expenditures as gradecrossing elimination, beautification of station buildings and grounds, should be borne largely by the public instead of by the railroads, for the benefit accrue to the public rather than to the railroads or their patrons,'and the burden should be placed where the benefits are received."
Lucius J. Perkins Learned to Eat and Count in French
"Everybody learns to eat and count in French," said Lucins J. Perkins Monday when asked whether or not he had learned to talk French while in France.
Mr. Perkins attended the School of Engineering of the University for two years. He has just returned from France where he was a member of the Field Artillery in the 35th Division.
"I have been on four fronts, Vosges, St. Milhiel, Argonne and Verdum. Each of them gave me some very interesting experiences.
"There were times when men of our division did not see a citizen for three hours."
Mr. Perkins served in the radio communication with aeroplanes durin his army life. He obtained the foundation for this work at Camp Doniphan. He also had a six weeks course in France where he secured the practical instructions.
Mr. Perkins plans to enter K. U next fall.
Kipling Was All Wrong Is Veteran's Verdict
Dr. Burdick, Addressing Y. W Gathering, Says Woman is no Worse Than Man
"I do not agree with Kipling' who says, 'The female of the species is more dendely than the male,'" said Dr. W. L. Burdick in his talk to the Y. W. C. a girls Tuesday afternoon at Myers Hall. "Not willing it will only mean the male, the estimate of any woman depends upon the point of view."
"God made some of them foolish to match the man. It would be foolish to say that man is of greater import than a child, because of his monetary elements, both essential."
"The high positin't of woman in America is due to the ideals the American men have built around her," continued Doctor Burdick, and it is up to women to be worthy of these ideals. If chivalry dies, women are to blame."
"These Johnies that some girls go with are all right as slit machines with which to get gum and bonbons, but when you marry, marry a man, or one who is going to be a man," admonished Doctor Burdick.
"Woman is man's equal in every
no better, no worse," said Doc-

"The opportunities for women are unrivalled, but as women enter the fields once controlled by man she must share the responsibilities which she counteracts."
As a result of work done by the seed testing laboratory of the Kansas State Agricultural College, a new Kansas weed has been discovered. It is known as the stinkweed, or what is known as the French weed, fanweed, or pennycress, in various places. The weed taints milk and butter and the flesh of animals which eat it.—Kansas Industrialist.
Plans have been made by the Kansas State Agricultural College and the Office of Public Roads for 1-day threshing schools to be held in seven Kansas cities in the week of May 23. The purpose is to train students in the use of threshing machines and discuss subjects pertaining to this topic—Kansas Industrialist.

One Hundred Dollars In Two Scholarships Open To Negroes Only
Preference in Both is Given to Students of Medicine Partly Self-Supporting
Self-Supporting
Preference in both scholarships is given to students at least partly earning their way through the University, and most of the students who attend to study medicine.
Two scholarships for fifty dollars each, open to colored students only, have been made permanent at the University, according to Dr. Ida M. Hyde of the department of physiology. Although most scholarships are open to colored students on the same basis as to white students, these are the first that are limited to persons of the nexer race.
The first scholarship was given by Dr. F. D. G. Sherman and Edward S. Harvey of Lawrence. The scholarship, amounting to fifty dollars is to be given to a colored student, man or woman, above the freshman year.
The second scholarship is given by Prince Hall, Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, Kansas and Colorado Jurisdiction. The value of the scholarship is to be made annually to a colored girl above the freshman year, who satisfies the committee that she is most worthy as a student, aiding in her own support, of good health, high ideals, and giving promise for future success in life. The preference in this scholarship also is for students who is planning to study medicine.
Doctor Hyde, in speaking of the need of colored women physicians, said, "I believe that well qualified women physicians are greatly needed, and would exert a far-reaching and wide influence among the colored race."
Applications for the "Harvey Brothers" and for the "Prince Hall Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star" scholarships are due June 4. Either men or women are eligible for the second, or eligible for the second. Applications are to be addressed to Miss E. Galloo, chairman of the Scholarship Committee.
Cadet Plank Outguesses Jokers at West Point
Supposedly Green Rookie Dazzles Upper Classmen With Fancy Bayonet Tactics
Ewart Plank, who is a cadet at the U. S. military academy at West Point is learning that his experience as an instructor in bayonet drill at Fort Still is standing him in good stead. It is the custom of the "Point" to have ordained a major duty for the first time. When Cadet Plank went out for his first post the upper classmen fell in to "get" the supposedly green rookie.
He was walking his post with bayonet fixed when they rushed upon him and though taken by surprise his experience gave him the lead in the serap. The men were unable to penance the barrel of skilful bayonet strokes.
Plank is now Business Manager of the "Howitzer," the school annual. He was a former member of Company M and a sophomore in the University when war was declared. Cadet Plank's parents, Mr. and Mrs. U. S. G. Plank, live at 1231 Oread.

In every hive there is a form of government, uniform throughout the whole bee world. The functions of each office are constant. The most important personage in the hive is the queen bee. She is not a despot and is more often ruled than ruler. She receives every attention that her attendants show, so that by her attendants; they may well care for her, for around her centers the existence of the hive. She is the mother of the entire colony; she lays all the eggs, from which hatches every bee that exists within the hive.
The drone is the male and is useless for collecting honey or pollen. After the swarming season he is looked upon as a useless member of society and is stung out of the hive by the worker bees. The worker bee is the most familiar and is respected for its business air as well as its powers of defense. They are females, but are not developed as the queen is.
The colony, hive, or household, consists of from twenty-five thousand to thirty-five thousand workers, bees, a few hundred drones, and a queen. The colony is held by the hive during the honey-gathering season and fewest during the winter.
The honey bee is one of the biggest aids in cross-fertilization of fruit, grain, and vegetable blossoms. It has been shown that they increase the alfalfa yield fully one-third by cross-fertilization.
The honey bee was called by the Indians the "White Man's Fly" because whenever they saw bees they knew that there were white men near.
Read the Daily Kansan.
Bees are now widely distributed, living wild in hollow trees or domesticated in hives. They are sometimes classed as the most intelligent of insects. This intelligence is not true intelligence, however, but instinct developed to a high degree. Their sense of direction in finding the "line" is is the speediest way to travel from one point to another.
In the races of honeybees are found counterparts of the Huns in the kind of bees known as German bees. These are the least desirable of all honey bees because of their mean and ferocious behavior, which is the top of the list for ambiability and energy. They are yellow bees and are the kind most commonly seen in this country. The German bees are black, while in between the German and Italian are the Syrian, Egyptian, Gyrani and Nubian, Muscanian, African, and Asiatic bees.

Bug Bare-back Riders
Spread Bubonic Plague
A germ riding tandem on a flea on a rat is responsible for one of the worst plagues in the history of the world, the Asiatic or bubonic plague. The germ gets free transportation on the flea, and the flea boards and rides on the rat all of which is fair enough if only the flea would stick to his
COLLARS
charger. But he gets ambitious and starts riding on men, thus spreading a disease that has devastated whole nations.
The flea carrying the bacillit of the plague, feeds on the blood of the rodent, and then usually by accident, is transferred to the skin of the human. The beak is inserted into other warm-blooded animals and the blood is drawn through the hollow beak. The flea performs this blood-letting operation in several places in the same area, in which it can pass through the flea is filled with the virus of the disease. This blood is discharged from the body of the flea and goes into the puncture made by the flea in its earlier excursions into the epidermis, and hence the infection goes through the blood of the human.
The common bed-bug is thought by many scientists to be a carrier of this plague, in the same way as the yen, and the trend of opinion is that dis

The fundamentals of the honor system which the Student Council proposes to inaugurate at DePauw University are as follows:
2. Protection against dishonesty in written exercises to be provided by students engaging in said exercises.
1. No faculty surveillance to be maintained during the conduct of examination and quizzes.
3. Investigations concerning alleged dishonesty on the part of any student or students and the determination of guilt and assessment of penalty shall be handled entirely by an honor court.
When down town call in at Weide-manns for that dish of cream or drink at the fountain.
The constitution of the system would have the honor court consist of even members; the president, vice-president and secretary of the student council, and one representative each from the four classes of the college of liberal arts.-The DePawu Daily.
