COST SYSTEM EXTOLLED
The installation of cost systems in printing plants, whether in metropolitan or country fields, and a strict adherence to the demands of the market will lessen the wreckage of business in the printing industry. Cost systems will produce efficiency, stop the leaks and raise the credit of the fifth largest industry from three place to somewhere near the tenth.
Scientific Management of Back Office Spells Success, Say Cost Experts
The first three speakers on the second day's program of the Missouri Valley Cost Congress now in fifth session, reiterated this advice repeatedly to the assembled editors and publishers in Green Hall this morning.
A similar stunt is being pulled by W. R. Smith, state printer, and former newspaper man in Columbus, Kansas to spend his nights home to Topela to spend his nights
t Mr. Mickel, in his address, "The Psychology of Selling Printing", this morning before the editors, stated that the selling of printing is a problem of the mind, and that the success of the business depends on the ability to see, feet and hear psychologically as well as physically. Selling his product is no longer a matter of entertainment for the customer, but a matter of logic. The salesman must also be familiar with all kinds of business, so that he may know what works and improve them with the value of his product for their particular need.

Marco Marrow, advertising director of the Capper publications, talked for creative business. That the printer and publisher may get the business that is not voluntarily brought to the office, it is imperative that he have ideas to sell the merchant. A house organ was recommended as a stimulus for getting the new ideas in printing matter accepted.
The Joys of Student Life
INFORMATION SYSTEM
Following the adoption of cost systems, what is needed further is a standardized system, the same in every office in every part of the country. This slant on the subject of cost systems was given by Joseph Tychotethe and Franklin Clubs of America. The goal toward which the National Typotheta is working, is the installation of a system that will pay. A million dollars has been appropriated by the organization for this work.
THE COLORS
IGNORANCE CAUSES FAILURES
E. K. Whiting, manager of the Owatonna Journal-Chronicle, owa
company, who has the business failures and the low credit rating for the printing industry to the lack of cost finding methods and the ignorance of the cost of production. The efficacy of the systems, he illustrated by charts and diagrams, Accounting records, bill discounts, merchandise returns, the small publisher were shown to be affected by the cost system.
GREEN IS THE STUDE WHEN HE FIRST GETS IN.
W. J. Hartman of The Hartman Co., Chicago, talked office efficiency, his assignment of yesterday afternoon which was carried over into today's program. Labor and machinery are the two strongest producers of efficiency in the back office, is the opinion of Mr. Hartman.
PROTECT WORKMEN, URGED
The protection of workmen from injury and HI health prevents inefficiency in the performance of his daily work. Keeping the machinery down and using fire cuts down the employee's limitations for accidents to a minimum. Sanitary conditions in the plant makes everyone satisfied and insures the highest per cent of efficiency.
The country editor was exhorted by Mr. Hartman to make another effort to break the present practice of the government in letting contracts for envelopes and stationery which are sold at post offices, far below the price that the editor or publisher can print them at. An appeal to their congressmen was thought to be one means of stopping this practice.
WHITE IS THE STUDE WHEN HIS BILLS COME IN
RED WHEN HE PULLS A BONE.
SUNDAY SEATS GO FAST THIS SOME OFFICE NOW
Hundreds Stand In Line to Get Tickets for Tomorrow's Address
More than 1,800 tickets to Billy Sunday's address were given out at the Daily Kansan office this morning. The ticket window closed at 10:45 o'clock, at which time the seating capacity of the gym had been reached. No more tickets are to be had.
A long line of students waited outside the Kansan office for over two hours this morning, slowly working through a series of melting away, precious pastelbacks clutched tightly in hand. Two hundred of those waiting were disappointed when the window closed, and the student was made later in the day were refused.
After those persons having tickets have been seated in the Gym tomorrow morning, the doors will be thrown open to the general public. Those who did not receive tickets will be seated in another section, the seats which will be installed, following a reseating of the Gym floor to be made tonight.

New York, May 3 — Working for a special mach race with aviatior De Lloyd Thompson, Dario Resta drove his car over the two-mile Sheepy Valley in 197 8.5, cutting two fifties of a second from his own record.
"The University in general is not opposed to Billy Sunday's coming," said Chancellor Frank Strong this morning in commenting on the opinion expressed in the metropolitan panel of the University was opposed to Sunday's visit.
RESTA CUTS TWO-FIFTH
SECOND ON OWN RECORD
"Personally, I am glad he is coming and think that the majority of the faculty members and students feel the same way about it," he continued. "A small minority of the faculty members do not but that is not the general sentiment." "So far I have not heard of any professors who are so vigorously opposed to Sunday that they refused to dismiss classes to enable their students to hear him. I don't believe that any professor will hold his class until 9:30 p.m tomorrow although no general convocation will be held."
Tom McNeal, editorial writer for the Farmers' Mail and Breeze is another newspaper man familiar to Dougina county people, who will be in Lawrence for the newspaper week action. On different occasions, McNeal was a candidate elected to congress from the first district and as mayor of Topeka.
Newspaper Week Gives Real Atmöspherte to University Daily Kansan
If one usually thinks in the terms of the Greek art department, of course the journalism offices are a beastly noisy turmoil. But when one has the taint of printing ink in the blood, the Dull Kansas quarters are decorous as an old mural whose knitting needles click while she hums.
But yesterday something happened to the ruralistic peace. In the news office a new machine sputtered, clicked and clanged, while a crowd of men inspected it with the minute and educated interest of a Kentuckian looking over a thoroughbred. Some even found interest in a poster near the machine stating that the Linograph 600 and paid for along with the piano, the phonograph and steen-cents-a-day type-writer.
Across at the editor's desk a telegraph instrument barked incessantly like an excited young terrier telling of something which only his master could understand. It was a special wire from the United Press rapping out the big news of the world which had "broke" since morning.
And near the door a dusky Filipino sat behind a large desk under the label "Register Here." As the men came in and scrawled their identification on a slip, the Filipino gave them round badges bearing their names and supporting a mysterious round case. For half a day the men consent to tdc the cases burden their memory and disarray that they are tape measures, put in their pockets to give to the wife or favorite child as a compensation for the joy of being rid of "the old man" for a few days.
Over the scene hangs a light cloud of smoke through which a crowd of men move and jest and puff fat cigars. Some receive a glad hand from the students who mix in and help the adults, who are acknowledged with pleasure, and perhaps one or two receive the indulgent smile of all-knowing youth.
Then there are the tables with papers for writing and printing, and beautiful pamphlets showing that it is useful as well as ornamental paper. In the press room are more types of paper these easier to folding machine, the wire sticker and the latest type cabinets on display there.

TROOPS IN PITTSBURG
45,000 Munition Workers Walk Out of Plants This Morning
Pittsburgh, Pa. May 31 While the state militia marched into the Westinghouse strike zone today the move to remove the governor an eight hour day gained strength
The first troops to near the scene of yesterday's wild riot entered East Pittsburg shortly after 9 o'clock. At the same time several thousand employees of the McKees Rocks plant of the Pressed Steel Car Company walked out. At least 45,000 workers in the munitions factories were out today. Some of the leaders put the troops striking at from five thousand and to ten thousand in excess of that figure. The government was under only militia unit on duty in the strike zone at ten o'clock. Other troops were expected there at any time. Martial law had not been declared but was virtually in effect.
F. C. Lynch is probably the only one of ten K. U. alumni who is affected by the strike among the munitions workers. The other nine are affected by the strike. Lfinch has a managerial position in the munitions department. Dean Walker of the School of Engineering said this morning that other electricals who expect to work for the firm, Co., will their graduation this spring, will probably not be affected even though the strike should be prolonged.

IRISH LEADERS SHOT
Three Rebels Executed Today,
Premier Asquith Announces
CHIEF SECRETARY RESIGNS
Augustine Birrell Quits as Result of Revolution in Island
By United Press Leased Wire.
London, May 3—Peter Pearse,
president of the Seven Days Irish Re-
cruitment Army, commander of the army of the Irish Republic, and a third man whose name was not given, were found guilty by court martial and shot to death this morning. Their executions were announced in the House of Commons this afternoon by Premier Asquith.
They were the first of the rebels whose execution has been publicly announced. Practically all the rebel prisoners have now been removed from Dublin. About three hundred more including several leaders, were arrested. Explained and under remainder made up largely of prisoners of the rank and file, were taken to Beafast under heavy guard by Irish troops.
Pearce, one of the best educated of the rebel leaders, was the head master of a boys' school in Dublin at the outbreak of the rebellion. He was chosen to be an inspector in the republic. Pearce led the assault on the general postoffice. He was wounded in the leg in last Thursday's fighting and surrendered to the government. When he was questioned, he signed a preclamation calling upon his followers to lay down their arms.
Connolly was also wounded in the street fighting. The British authorities received a report Saturday night that he had died of his wounds. It was later learned that he had been shot in the face and signed to a number of passports for prisoners, with the title "Commander of the Army of the Irish Republic."
In an order of the day issued in Dublin, Gen. Maxwell, commanding the troops, complimented the troops for gallantry during the fighting with the rebels.
LOCAL ARTISTS APPEAR
Professor Nevin and Mrs. Olcott Loudly Applauded at Evening Concert
Assisted by several of the members of the School of Fine Arts, the Minneapolis Orchestra yesterday played in the gymnasium to the doors, both in the afternoon and in the evening. Great appreciation wash shown and the appeal of the orchestra even before its previously established reputation here.
Prof. Joseph A. Farrell, of the voice department, undertook a difficult task, when he sang a long Wagnerian selection, Pogner's Address from the opers, "Die Melatersinger." That the feat was successfully performed was shown by the applause given him.
During the evening concert, Arthur Nevin, professor of music, stepped on up Oberhofer's pedestal and conducted one of his own compositions, and she sang in a band comprising five short pieces of a lute vein. It might be called program music, but Professor Nevin did not employ cheap imitations, which are so natural that they are unconventional, as many modern composers do. The poet poem, "The Brook at Dawn" possessed the highest merit of the group.
Lewis Grauveur, baritone, who was to appear on the program, was called to New York suddenly, on account of his injury. She was alsoHowver, Mrs. Herman Olcott was equal to the occasion, and with only a few hours notice was able to fill the room. She sang the Blind Girl's Song from Mozart's opera, "Don Giovanni."
The afternoon performance given by the orchestra was quite heavy. One of the best pieces on the afternoon's program was Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. This is declared by many critics to be the most soul-appealing of all musical works, and Emil Oberlieger, the conductor, did justice to its reputation. "Tschakowski's Marche Slave", the choreographer, was blared out by the trombones and basses, making the effect very dramatic. The Russian nationif hymn was brought to conclude the piece. A selection from Wagner's opera, "Siegfried", was also played. In the evening concert, Albert Lindquist, tenor, made a hit with the audience, as usual. Mr. Lindquist's song was an aria from Goethe's "Rosa Rosa", Leonore Alonen, soprano, selected for "Murielle", by Gound, and was healtily enforced. Tschakowski's Fourth Symphony and Dvorak's overture, "Carnaval," were the most important pieces played. Two of Massenet's works were also given.
