Prof. McKeever Wants One Hun dred in Anti League
TRY TO STOP SMOKING
Prof. W. A. McKeever, head of the department of child welfare in the extension division of the University, outspoken critic of the U. Anti-Cigarette League, in his lecture Monday evening, in Fraser Hall. As it was the first meeting of its kind the attendance was small, but enough to encourage the league to make over fifty in all.
FIRST OF ITS KIND
The object of the league is to discourage smoking in the student body; in private as well as public; and further to pledge support to the finer principles advanced by the State Welfare Board of Kansas.
This is the first organization of its kind in the country, and it is hoped by members of the league that it will become a state and nation wide movement. The league hopes to gain enough supporters, by efficient advertising, and by increasing cigarettes, to do away with the use of tobacco altogether on the Hill.
MCKEEMER IS A SPECIALIST
Professor McKeener is a specialist on tobacco and its effects, the facts about the effect of tobacco on minors. He also told of the combined interests of the liquor and tobacco trusts, and their efficient methods of advertising. He said that in his study, he hundred young women of the University to help in this crusade against cigarettes for he believes that the pleas of young women will be heeded sooner by the smokers, than those of the members of the Anti-Cigarette League.
Dr. D. Leigh Colvin, the presider of the Intercollegiate Prohibition Association, will visit the local branze Saturday and Sunday. Dr. Colvin i the author of the *National Pride* Book, New York Lehigh University and is a specialist on the economic governmental and political phases o the liquor traffic. On Saturday after noon he will hold a series of inter views with any students who desire t him to attend, wishing to meet him can arrange for an interview by calling Hugo Wedel.

The Laws, when asked whether they were going to take a holiday toorrow, replied that it was a settled fact, and further that no proper authority had yet denied them the privilege.
They will not report for classes to tomorrow, they say, and there will be only Kaw water to drink at the banquet tonight. Tomorrow, Uncle Jimmy is going to Topeka, Professor Humble to the city, and Professor Burdick to see his wife and so of course they all will be in on it.
When questioned, what would be the outcome of it, they replied, "What can be done? We are entitled to so much power." Cut tomorrow, whose business is it? "I cut tomorrow,"
TABBY TO CUT EXPENSES
She May Solve the High Cost of Lighting Problem
Now that Dr. S. A. Matthews of the School of Medicine has offered a market for the stray tabbies and tomines of Lawrence there is a rumor that there is to be competition in this 'jeld.
Story has it that a mechanical genius in one of the western towns of the state has a plan to generate cheap electricity for his burge. Elaborate plans are being worked out whereby a large number of cats are to be chased through and through a long circular tunnel just high enough for the cats to get through. A mouse is first given a good satir; and pussy is first given a good rubbery rubbing on the glass of the tunnel will generate electricity for the town.
It is said that elaborate catteries are being built for the housing of the cats which are to be made to work in relays so as to have continuous power. The problem of supplying food for them and proper medical attention is also included in the plans. It is said that engineers over the country are watching this plan closely but that the usefulness of its success for the kind of "juice" that fur and glass will not flow along wires, at all, being of the static variety. However, it is not well to condemn a scheme before it has been tried.

Extension Division Co-operates With Social Workers to Extend Improvements
When students attending the University of Missouri has accepted a automatically make themselves members of the local students' Benedict Colony. North Carolina now has eight married students in this colony.
The next time the Missouri-Kansas game is held in Columbia, the out-of-town people will have the privilege of staying at a new hotel. Subscription amounting to more than $20,000 have the privilege of attending the Club, and this practically assures the project. The hotel is to be called the Daniel Boone Tavern.
A large night school and band concerts for North Lawrence were discussed at a meeting of the Social Service League recently in the city hall. The meeting was a joint session of the League and the North Lawrence Improvement Association, in which he "north siders" set forth a new media model that included the means which they thought would most effectively and cheaply supply these needs. Plans for a recreation hall under city supervision, public playgrounds and musical entertainment were also discussed.
While the movement is primarily for and by the "north siders" several University men are vitally interested in the plan for the social improvement of the north side. Among those who are are lending encouragement to the scheme are Prof. Homer Talbot and Prof. W. A. McKeever of the Extension Division of the University, a department of sociology. Several of the students in the University have also availed themselves of this opportunity to assist in helping these people to help themselves.
MANY WANT NIGHT SCHOOL
Some very interesting facts were brought to the classes, the chief being that pupils who went as far as the eighth grade in school were the ones most eager for the night school. In the lower grades the interest was less keen, and after the boys and girls had passed the eighth grade and gone to work for a year or two the interest was almost totally extinct. Another fact disfavors pupils in one class which finished the sixth grade of Woodawn, only two reached high school.
Interest Shown At Recent Conference Indicates Large Supply of Jobs
TEACHERS IN DEMAND
An unusually large demand for high school teachers was shown by the superintendents and principals who attended the school men's conference here the week of March 17. The conference between prospective teachers and superintendents far exceeded in number and interest any that had been held at any previous convention.
An effort is being made by the faculty of the School of Education to interest the school boards of the state in the conferences offered here with prospective teachers. In this school was partly interested in this year. A Kunlun school boards were represented by one or more members at the conference and one man, who was confronted with the task of hiring an entire new faculty, worked in the office of Pref. W. H. Johnson all day meeting seniors and graduate students who intend to teach next year.
Friday evening he was asked
"What progress did you make in fill
inning?"
"My talks with the students have been very satisfactory," he replied, "and I have obtained enough data today that our school board will have no trouble in selecting teachers for next year."
Professor Johnson expects a large attendance of members of school boards at the annual conference next year as the advantage of seeing the work there and talking over the work with them is rapidly dawning upon them.
Practically all of the 175 students who are planning to teach next winter will be cared for in Kansas. The demand has been quite large and although nothing will be known until after the school elections in April, it will probably only home of the teachers will have to go outside if the state for positions.
If any Lawrence man aspiries to be a detective, he need not lack something to detect. First there is the molasses episode at the Engineers' dance; then there is the mysterious building in one of the school buildings in which nothing but seventy-five keys to lockers was taken. Several students are known to favor additions to the above list of possibilities of acting the Lawrence P.O. office. Then so can be plenty of work for local sherlock Holmes.
A few calls for teachers have been received from neighboring states and a few requests have come from western states. One application for a teacher has been filed at Professor Johnson's office asking for a man capable to coach athletes in a team. Another request asks for a other request calls for a man to teach athletics and mathematics or a science.
Miss Alice Nieman, who is attending the Agricultural College at Manhattan, came down for the Alemannia night as the guest of Marion Joseph.
JAYHAWKER GOES TO
PRESS; ON SALE MAY
All of the copy for this year's Jay-hawker is now in the hands of the printer and the annual will be placed on sale in Lawrence Tuesday, May 2, without fall. K. U. has the word of honor as the bark for this so it must be so. Buseenbark realized that such a promise usually means about May 28, but this time it means May 2, he says, even if he has to go to Kansas City where the Jayhawker is being published and the newspaper is in a freight car with the annals.
The copy was turned over to the Union Bank Note Company in Kansas City Saturday morning. Of the twelve university annuals which he had received, the first was the first to have its copy in. This was not an accident according to Busenbark, for it was sent in early so that the publishers would put their books into the K. U. book beeper and rush of annual copy took place.
There will be 1,000 Jayhawkers printed but only 200 will be on sale when the annual comes out as 800 of them have already been sold.
ENGLISH COSTS LITTLE
Teaching Our Own Speech Ranks Lowest of All Courses for Upkeep
The cost of teaching college English is less than that of teaching any of the sciences according to the data collected by the committee on the cost and labor of teaching English, of Prof. E. M. Hopkins is the chairman.
The committee is making a survey of the cost of teaching English in colleges, secondary schools, and elementary schools for the Modern Language Association of America, and the National Council of Teachers of English. The report on the cost in secondary schools was finished in 1982. The data on colleges has been received and the report of the elementary schools will not be finished for over a year.
Twelve colleges from which data was earlier received, show an average cost of $1.53 per student each year in comparison with mathematics $2.45, history $2.15, Latin $2.94, German $1.75, physics $2.58, botany $5.37 and chemistry $2.88. Although this report is incomplete, Professor Hopkins is sure that later data will not be so misleading. He gives the average number of students in the classes in English as over one hundred to each teacher. In the secondary schools relatively the same conditions were found.
The purpose of the Survey is to bring out clearly the present condition in the teaching of English so that some move may be taken to standardize the method of teaching, improve the school budget. The final report on the survey of colleges will be printed soon.

Training Camp Association Desires College Men
An unusual way for University men to spend a portion of their summer vacation is suggested by the Military Training Camps Association of the United States in a circular received by the editor of the Du Kansai Magazine, the circular issued by an admissible on the "Relation of Education to Preparedness" by Henry S. Drinker, president of Lehigh University.
This association will maintain five camps in various sections of the country, the chief one, being at Plattsburg on Lake Champlain and the second to foster patriotic spirit and spread among the citizens of the country some knowledge of military history, military policy, and military needs, and to instill the habits of obedience, discipline, courage, and sacrifice. The camps supply five weeks' outing, with drill, cavalry exercises, field maneuvers, field surveying and field work. During this time one can gain a clear insight into military matters. In addition to training, time is provided for recreation and rest.
Photographs Message
Last week L. E. Whittemore of the department of physics succeeded in taking the picture of a wireless sent aircraft maneuvering in the Gulf of Mexico.
The instrument used in making the negative is an Einthoven Galvonometer belonging to the department of Physiology and is generally used in recording and studying the pulsation of the heart. By focusing the instrument on a needle attached to the receiver at the wireless station a reproducer is placed across the film, which when developed and printed may be easily deciphered by any student of the Morse code.
One hundred and twenty students of the senior class at Yale have earned their way through college, either entirely or in part.
WILL DISTRIBUTE 5,000
TREATISES ON COFFEE
Dean Sayre of the School of Pharmacy now has on press at the state printery at Topeka a treatise of coffee which he will distribute through the Extension department. The paper outlines the work that has been done in investigating the coffees of the world in all times, and both at European and Eastern universities as well as here.
"The University of Kansas," says Dean Sayre, "has led the world in this investigation, and as the results are shown, it is a plente and comprehensive, than any yet obtained. The paper takes up the toxicity of the various coffees and investigates each one. About 5,000 copies of the paper will be distributed.
