MILL TAX WILL HAVE NEW NAME
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 24, 1916.
"Permanent Income Bill" Will be Title of Measure This Year
COUNTY CLUBS BOOST IT
Significance of Proposed Legislation Will Be Explained at Convocations
The "Mill Tax" bill is no more—not under the name, "Mill Tax," at any rate. The title died a rhetorical day yesterday. Promoters of the measure were the executioner. Hereafter it will be known as the "Permanent Income Bill." The change was made to avoid the difficulties connected with the asking for a "tax." The County Club Union plans to have circulars out by November first explaining the purposes of the bill all university students placed in all university students through the county clubs. The new circulars will be sent to the people in practically every county in the state.
INTEREST
With the great interest that is being shown in the organization of county clubs, the boosting of the bill is assured at K. U. The County Club Union of the University will meet the last of next week, and Jap Glaco, president of the organization, wants a list of the officers of the clubs by name, especially the name of the delegate chosen to the County Club Union.
"I want the president who is elected to telephone the list of officers of the club of which he is president to me as soon as they are elected," said Glasco. "The list of the names was printed." Kansasian call a meeting of these students and call a meeting of the people from their county to elect officers."
BOOST BILL IN CONVOCATIONS
The County Club Union expects to have two convocations at which the Press will announce and explained to the entire University. The present officers of the union are: President, Jap Glacio; vice-president, Marvin Gear; secretary, Blondie Jones; treasurer, Chester C. Covey. Glacso has a number of publications but the new literature on the Permanent Income Bill will not be off the press for a week.
Circulation Does Not Warrant Making It Quarterly Publication
KANSAS ENGINEER
TO APPEAR ONCE
"We have a world of the best kind of material for our magazine this year," Gerald L. Sparks, business manager, said this morning. "Alumni of the School of Engineering will work than in previous years and are contributing liberally. There will be articles in this issue dealing with "Industrial Preparedness in Kansas." "Kansas Flood Protection," "The Federal Permanent Road Bill and Its Relation to Kansas," and other of a similar nature.
The members of the editorial board of the Kansas Engineer, the official publication of the Associated Engineering Societies of the School of Engeering, only one number this year, as has been the custom for two years. Some consideration was given to two issues but it has been deemed advisable to keep the magazine an annual publication justifies making it quarterly.

AN APPEAL TO UNIVERSITY MEN AND WOMEN FOR INOCULATION
By DR. JOHN SUNDWALL
TYPHOID FEVER OR VACCINATION? WHICH?
The recent development of a case of typhoid fever which can not be traced to the original focus of infection means that unless the utmost care is given, someone there is danger that an outbreak of this serious disease may occur.
SERIOUSNESS OF TYPHOIN FEVER
Perhaps no other disease in the entire category of bodily disorder should be regarded as more serious than typhoid fever. The mortality from this disease ranges from 5 to $20\%$. In other words one has on the average only nine chances in ten of recovery from the disease itself. Even when the immediate dangers are past, the body is so emaciated that requires from six months to a year to fully regain normal condition.
Recuperation from the direct effects of the fever, however, does not necessarily mean that the patient has paid the full price for the infection. Dreaded effects of the disease may be felt for years afterwards. Bone lesions, incapacitating one for the ordinary routine of life, may exist for a long time. Surgeons are now prone to regard the majority of gall stones as due to some previous typhoid infection.
And even more may follow. The patient may have apparently made a complete recovery with none of the grave after effects having manifested themselves, and may regard himself as a perfectly well man, and yet may become an alarming menace to society. Typhoid germs may live and multiply within this body for many years—one authentic instance, for twenty-nine years. Through these germs, scattered by means of the body excretions, others may become infected. Thus one may unwittingly become a slayer of his fellowmen.
INOCULATION
With these grave possibilities, no individual can afford to contract this dread malady. Furthermore immunity to the disease is now assured. Notwithstanding the fact that successful vaccination—one of the greatest recent contributions to the welfare of man—insures one against the disease, there are many who refuse to be vaccinated and are taking the chances. It is deplorable that a number of young men who were recently associated with a focus of infection from which many cases developed have refused to undergo this preventative measure. Assuredly such behavior is a bad commentary on higher education.
TEACH MUSIC IN SCHOOL--POWELL
Music Springs From People and Should be Given Back to
Them
That music comes from the people and should belong to them; that it can be given back to them by a system of free musical instruction in the schools; that it is the life of their times and know the groups from which music springs in order that we may have true music; that music is a need, not a luxury; and that grand opera is not the highest type of music taught in our country; and were the salient points made by Dr. Alma Webster Powell in her lecture-musicale in Fraser Chapel yesterday afternoon. The lecture proper was followed by an illustration of French, German, Italian, Irish, Irish, and American types of music.
MUSIC SPRINGS FROM PEOPLE
MUSIC SPRINGS FROM PEOPLE
"Music," Doctor Powell said, "comes from the people. It is an expression of the human spirit and should go back to them to enrich their lives.
The rich make of it a pllaying, a mere amusement.
Dean F. W. Blackman will represent the University of Kansas at the meeting of the Association of American Universities which will be hold Nov. 10-11, at Clark University, Westcaster, Mass.
"There's Bach, a peasant; Handel, a peasant; Mozart, a peasant;" and she ran through a long list of musicians—all "peasants." This music must go back to the people. This can be accomplished only by free musical instruments. It your duty to help mold public sentiment for this instruction.
A large crowd of music lovers was present in spite of the threatenings of seizure. This is the theater and entertainment planned by the University Senate,
In the second half of her program Madame Powell sang from the French; the Bell Song from Lakane, the Owl Song from Massenet; and Sa Chevelure, by Debussy. The last group of the group Madame Powell designated as "atmosphere" and said that the compositions were at the height of intellectually in music.
In the American group, she sang; The Land of the Sky Blue Waters, which she termed non-representative music. Mr. Moore said Indian would scarcely recognize it," she added. Mother Mackee from the Irish ballads, and the Tyrolean, Yodle, preceded by an account of the Swiss mountain guitar band, were the closing numbers.
From the German group, she sang, Queen of the Night, aria from "Magic Flute," by Mozart; from the Russian group, The Choir of St. Petersburg, directing attention to its melody.

Contributions have been coming in all week from men who have left school and present faculty men. One faculty man gave $50.
HEATING PLANT CAN'T GET WATER
Pressure of Water in City Pipes Not Sufficient to Fill
CLASSES ARE DISMISSED
"We Can't Furnish Heat Until We Get Water," Says Supt. Shea
---
"There was plenty of water on t hill today," remarked a resident o Oread Avenue this morning, "but the water we did we'd get it through their pipes."
The above statement seems to summarize very fully the condition of affairs on Mount Oread today, and for several days past. Today two buildings stand in the middle without hull because of insufficient water for the boilers in the heating plant.
Classes in the Administration Building and the Engineering Building were dismissed shortly after their completion. The class rooms were too cold to be used. Gymnasium classes yesterday and today were dismissed, and some classes in the upper floors of Fraser University Physics Building could not be held.
"When the city can furnish or water we can furnish the University buildings with heat," was the only statement that John Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds would make today.
CITY PRESSURE LOW
Inquiries at the office of the city water company reveal as usual that "nothing" is the matter with the pressure, which has been low all week. It cannot be definitely learned when the pressure will be back up again
The residents of Oread Avenue and University Heights are universally indignant, and with a view of seeing what can be done to remedy the conditions a meeting has been called for tomorrow night at the Sigma Nu House. Just what such a meeting can do, the conditions is a matter of conjecture.
Up until time of going to press this afternoon the heating situation had not been remedied. The heating plant is waiting for enough city water to run the boilers 'under full pressure of steam.
ROOTING MAKES VICTORIOUS TEAM
Gedney Says Rally Friday Night Begins the Winning
"If it is left to the rooters, Kansas has had her last defeat," said Cheerleader Kenneth Gedney in announcements of the football season in Fraser Chapel, Friday night at seven o'clock. "We expect to have the biggest turnout of the year to prove to the team how much we can not slump with the defeat by Ames.
"Friday night we expect every student and faculty member to be in the chapel for a roaring display of enthusiasm. We have a team that, according to dope, should win in the contest with the Aggies. In the opening game of the season we trimmed the Normals in a 13 to 0 game. The team expects a hard game with the Aggies. Again, 13 to 8, but with the right kind of support from the rooters K. U. should be the victors. We want to dispel any discouragement that may have lingered from the Ames game."
Prof. D. L. Patterson of the department of history spoke at Emporia yesterday before the students at the Kansas State Normal School of his experiences on the battlefields of Europe last summer. Tomorrow he will go to Manhattan where he will hear his lecture "Day Twelve." A conversation of the students at the Kansas State Agricultural College.
The band will be on hand for the occasion and the program includes short talks by several members of the team. Coaches Olcott and Clark will also give their opinions of the prospects.

CLASS TO SELL POTTERY
MADE OF KANSAS CLAYS
The class in applied design, under Miss Maria Benson of the department of fine arts, is doing such excellent work in molding and designing pottery that several pieces made by students are to be offered for sale.
The pottery was made from Kansas clays, among the best of which are the Clay Center and Hoisington clays. It was molded, designed, baked, and glazed in the clay laboratory in Haworth Hall.
The seal of the University is o several of the pieces. As only a few articles have been completed, the sale of the pottery will be delayed until immediately before the Christmas holidays.
An exhibit of the work of previous clauses has been placed in the entire collection.

TYPHOID CLAIMS STUDENT VICTIM
Paul Huxman, Freshman College, Died in Wichita Hospital Sunday
WEATHER FAVORS FEVER
Water in Wells Easily Contaminated by Seepage-Inoculations Daily
The first death from typhoid fever among the students in the University occurred Sunday morning when Paul Huxman, c20, died in a hospital at Wichita. Huxman roamed at 1333 Kentucky street, the house to which many cases of the disease among students have been traced, and he was one of the first to become infected with the disease. He was 21 years old.
Huxman withdrew from school September 29, and was taken to a hospital in Wichita by his brother, W. A. Huxman. The parents of the young man, Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Huxman, who were visiting in Iowa, joined their two sons in Wichita soon after Paul became ill.
News of the death of the young man was brought to Lawrence this morning by his brother, W. A. Huxman, who was graduated from the School of Law at the University in 1915.
DRASTIC REGULATIONS ENACTED
The typhoid condition is now at its most acute point. With the first death of a University student from this dreaded fever occurring Sunday morning, the campaign of adopting preventative measures has been resumed with greater force than ever before.
Due to the prevailing typhoid fever "scare" drastic regulations of health conditions in boarding and rooming houses have been enacted by the City Council, requiring the condition of sleeping rooms, kitchens, boarding house employees,—in general, most every factor in any way connected with the sleeping or eating conditions of University students has been rightly outlawed. The laws of regulation issued from the University health office this morning.
MUST BOIL WATER—SUNDWALL.
MUST BOIL WATER—SUNDWALL
On top of an already grave situation, the most dangerous kind of weather for the spread of typhoid from the water and sewage laboratory stated last week, during the rainy season well water is very dangerous to use because of the ground stratas, that carry the water to the wells, bearing contamination.
"in spite of how clear or clean well water may seem, it should not be used for drinking or culinary purposes unless boiled," said Dr. John Sandwall, chairman of the University health service, this morning. "The health department has planned for twenty years without bad effect is illogical. Boil all well water and city water that is used for drinking purposes or for cooking!"
Inoculation of every student is being stringently urged by health authorities. This preventative measure is offered free to University men and women, except day afternoons is the day set aside for inoculating men while Tuesday afternoon is reserved for women. "Typhoid fever is purely an optional disease," said Dr. Crumbine, dean of the School of Medicine and head of the State Board of Health, this mornar. Inoculation is an absolute preventative measure because typhoid epidemic to ensue if care will be taken by the students."
