Dean Calls Roosevelt Creator of Democracy In Speech at Church
F. W. Blackmar Pays Tribute To Memory of Ex-president
One of World's Great Men
Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt Stand Out as Patriots
"No single man had greater influence in winning the war than Theodore Roosevelt," said F. W. Blackmar, dean of the Graduate School, in an address at the Methodist Church Sunday.
Dean Blackman expressed his sorrow that the full realization of the worth of Colonel Roosevelt was not brought about until after his death. He said it would probably be many years before his realization would reach its climax.
CREATED REAL DEMOCRACY "He was a strong individualist battling in the defense of the right," declared Dean Blackmar. "Making furious and fearless attacks on the wrong. He stood for justice among men. He frequently irritated individuals and sometimes the community, for his incognacism was s ever at war with traditional convention, but his attacks brought a reaction of wholesome social life. Standing feeblesly for what he thought was unadulterated right and best suited to the practical needs of his country, he appeared inconsistent alike to radicals and to conservatives. But his apparent inconsistencies and tilioxynacries were but straws on the deep, strong currents of constructive statesmanship. As a leader of the Progressive movement he has left a lasting impression on social and political institutions, modified the platforms of political parties and created a real democracy in America.
"Roosevelt believed in the vigorous the laborer and employer. All social service workers and reformers knew of his sympathy in improving social conditions. He was always interested in the people and whenever he

Order Concerning Wearing of Uniforms After Discharge Received Here
Discharged Officers
May Not Wear Uniform
"Thereafter the officer may wear his uniform only upon occasions of ceremony."
An authoritative ruling concerning the wearing of uniform by discharged soldiers, issued by Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of staff, has been received at S. A. T. C. headquarters here. It reads as follows
"Present law authorizes a discharged officer or soldier to wear his uniform from the place where he was present for two months of the date of his discharge from the service.
NUMBER 70
"The enlisted man must return his uniform within four months of date of discharge; but can wear it only as stated above.
"An act is now before Congress which if passed, will authorize enlisted men to keep the uniform which they are permitted to wear home, and to wear that particular uniform, only, provided some distinctive mark or insignia, to be issued by the War Department, shall be worn.
"It will thus be clearly seen that neither under existing nor proposed law will have a discharged soldier be permitted to wear uniforms made by civilian or other tailors. They may legally wear only the particular uniform which they have been permitted to retain."
The Kansas branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers will hold meetings every two weeks for the rest of the year at the engineering building at the University. There will be a program given at each meeting, and two members of the society will talk on specified subjects. Joe Mahan and John Wahlsthe will speak on "Water Power Engineers," Thursday, February 7, at 7:30 o'clock. The remaining subjects to be discussed are: "Marine Engineering," "Tractors," "Aviation," "Safety Engineering," Irrigation "Good Rounds," Zinc Mining," and "Artillery."
Aboku Society Elects New Members for Year
The new members of the Ahlok society for this year, elected last fall, and some elected last Wednesday night, are: Homer Eagles, J. Jakowsky, and George Lynn from the school of Engineering; Howard Brown, Edward Mason, Charles Nettles, R. H. Albach, Flood Hockenbull, B. Shifler, School of College; Frank Patty from the School of Pharmacy; and Edward Taylor and Marion Renner from the School of Medicine.
The purpose of the society is to keep in touch with the work of the university athletics, and to discuss the policy of athletic scholastic standing.
Eastern Medical Schools
Get Kansas Students
Two hundred ninety Kansas men and women are studying medicine in various medical schools throughout the United States. Of this number, 137, or a little more than 47 per cent are in the medical school that the state provides for them, the School of Medicine of the University of Kansas. The remaining 153, who are attending medical schools, make up a fair estimate $100,000 a year from the state to spend outside the state.
The superior hospital facilities of the big eastern medical schools attack many Kansas men and women whose parents can afford to send them there. The poor men or women in Kansas must depend on his state for a medical education, if he wishes to be a doctor. Whenever his state refuses to provide adequate hospitals for the poor of the commonwealth as Kansas does to a shameful degree, it not only does the moneyless Kansan who is ill an injustice, but it dismays the girl boy or woman, and at the same time it encourages the sons or daughters of wealthier Kansans to go outside the state to spend one hundred thousand dollars of Kansas wealth yearly. This money can be kept in the state if Kansas will build the new hospital the University is asking to be built at Rosedale.

University Service To State Continues In Spite of War Work
Food and Water Laboratories Active as Well as Extension Division
In spite of the war work which practically every member of the University faculty has been doing in addition to class work and in spite of the number of faculty members who have leaves of absence to enter the service or are engaged in war work in the country, the majority of services which the University has done for the state have not been interrupted.
Among faculty members who have been working for the government at the University are:

Dr. H, P. Cady of the chemistry department discovered a process of making "argon gas" which made balloon observation safe. Associated with Dr. Cady were Prof. C, W. Seibel, Prof. F, W. Brueckmiller, Prof. H, C. Allen, Prof. P, V. Farager, and Miss Emily Berger.
Dean Sayre of the School of Pharmacy was enlisted direct from Washington to answer emergency calls for pharmacists anywhere. He was never called upon, but was always in readiness for call. Dean Sayre is also a member of the State Board of Health. Dr. Nelson, also of the School of Pharmacy, was on the staff of physicians during the influenza epidemic in the S. A. T. C. here. The School of Pharmacy was also called upon to do analytical work during the epidemic here as well as at Camp Funston.

The water section of the State Board of Health, consisting of a water laboratory in Snow Hall and the office of the Engineer of the State Board of Health in Marvin Hall carried on its work so efficiently that in the past five years there has been but one typhoid epidemic traceable to the public water supply. The work done by the laboratory consists in analyzing all public water supplies. Water from ground sources is analyzed twice a year while water from surface sources is tested once a week. The work of the engineer of the State Board of Health is the inspecting of all water, sewage and sanitary plants. Water plants are inspected every six weeks and are also the sewage plants. The plants that come under the jurisdiction of the engineer must make regular reports to his of
The state entomologist conducts investigations for the farmers in the state. The work is especially directed against the injurious insects of Kansas crops. Much has been done against the green bug, the San Jose scale and insects. Nursery stock sold in the state is inspected by the representatives of the state entomologist. Send the Daily Kansan home.
The Municipal Reference Bureau in Fraser Hall does much for the towns of Kansas and is especially advocating the city-manager plan of government. The weather bureau also helps promote the tourism a yearly report of the weather over the state for every day in the year.
The work of the food laboratory in the Chemistry Building is of equal importance with that of the water department and is another branch of the State Board of Health. It consists in analyzing samples of food gathered by three state food inspectors. The report of the test is turned in to the State Board of Health and if the examination shows adulteration, the State Board notifies the manufacturer of the product and if it is necessary they may order the prosecuting attorney of the county in which the food is manufactured to start action against the company.
Y.M.C.A. Men Advocate Holding Chapel Daily Or Weekly As of Old
Should Be Held at Time When Students Are Already on
Hill
"The thing that I have missed more than anything else since I have been back here is the church services and convocations," said Frank J. Parker, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., this morning. "When I was in school there was a short church service every day and a longer meeting on Fridays." "If a daily service is not advisable there ought to be a meeting once a week at least. The worst thing that could happen done with the change of the time to 8 o'clock in the morning. To make anything of this kind successful it must come at a time when the students are already in the hill."
"It cannot be said that the University is too big for Convocations because there are no more students here and they worked all right then."
"Too many people seem to think that the only thing students come to school for is the class work. While a regular convoction might interfere somewhat, the results would more than overbalance. A man can study at school he needs the school spirit and enthusiasm as well as the classes."
"It seems to me that the lack of a regular time for the students to get together is one of the most serious things lacking in the life of this University. That is my impression as a new man on the Hill," said Dr. Chas. E. Henry the former secretary of the M.C. and "and what has been said by Mr. Parker who is a former student and knows the old situation."

Plain Tales From the Hill
KEEP AN EVE ON THOSE GRADS
"Torchy" Paul Johnson, c'19, is doing sensational assignments on the Rockford Morning Star Who would ever think that any man could get training in K.U. that would enable him to write on such subjects as "Jazz Dancing Haunts Visited on Still Hunt for Propriety Line," and "Oh, Girls should you give up your job to returning soldiers." Torchy certainly seems to know all about the "Shiver and Shake" and the "Girl problem."
What high school youth let the goat into the Chi Omega house last Thursday night about midnight? Last year it was a calf that was lost in one of the houses. Next year the little boy cut-ups will have to get a camel, an elephant or a kangaroo to be truly original.
Students may have thought that they made Paul mad when they called him Torchy last year but they certainly were fooled if they did. Torchy still uses his old nick name to head some article advising men to marry women, but it does not suit any other way, or beawling the latest styles in women's costumes.
Uncle Jimmy Green has so many big things in his mind that he doesn't have time to bother about the usual details that are important in the life of an ordinary human being. The other morning he opened his desk and happened to notice a package lying there.
"Well," remarked the idol of the law school, "here is my lunch. I must have forgotten to eat it yesterday, but I'll awaar I didn't know it until just now."
Oh! the philosopher that these men carry away from K. U.
THE UNIVERSITY CLUB AGAIN Some of the members of the University Club have reserved a section in the gallery for the theater tonight. Even faculty members have a hard time paying all their bills the first of the month sometimes.
The University Club has taken the place of Pi in the Plain Tales column. Sometimes ago, when no one else could be found who was doing anything especially unusual or clever, we always fell back on the dog as a source of comment. Now it is the doings that take place in our professors' hang-out that is a constant source of material.
DINTY MOORE comes to TOWN
If you see a bull-pup running around Lawrence with a collar on which is engraved "Dinty Moore," "Mu Phi House," don't jump at conclusions and rush over to 1116 Louisiana, thinking that digs" old friend is living in Lawrence, "Dinty Moose" is just the name of the dog that was sent to Mrs. Jim Scott by her father.
After attending "a philosophy class" four weeks, one young woman discovered that she was in the social survey class. No wonder she was always comparing the likeness of philosophy and sociology.

Missouri's Teamwork Overcomes K.U. Five In Spite of Rallies
Tigers Take Two-game Series,
44 to 25 and 37
to 15
Whirlwind Start Is Futile
Short Passes and Dribbling Well Handled by Oppon-
The Missouri Tigers defeated Kansas in both games of the two-game basketball series in Robinson gymnasium Friday and Saturday, winning the first battle by a score of 44-25 and the second by a 37-15 score. The Jayhawker quintet was clearly outplayed in both games and played loose basketball most of the time. The teamwork of the Tigers was the feature of each game and the same short-passing attack that the Missouri used to advantage last year again battled the Jayhawkers. In the first game when Matthews scored free throw, but Schrosder scored three times for Missouri before Kansas again found the basket. Bunn threw a field goal and captain Ruby of Missouri broke away from the Jayhawker defense and tossed a pair of goals from under the basket. The first half ended with the score 30-14 for Missouri.
Kansas played a much better brand of basketball in the second period, however, and held the Tigers almost even, scoring 11 points to 14 by Missouri. Frederick substituted for Matthews at center toward the end of the last half and showed good form, both at getting the tip-off and shooting goals. He made two pretty shots from near mid-court and registered another goal from near the sidelines. Ruby and Vogt did most of the scoring for Missouri in the second half. Bunn played his usual consistent game for the Jayhawkers. The score follows;
