EXCHANGE MANY BOOKS

THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH—SLOWLY
NUMBER 88.
WEEK'S BUSINESS $500.00
Volume of Custom Exceeds Most Sanguine Hopes of Promoters
"Don't crowd, gentlemen. We will get to you all in just a few minutes. —Yes, we have just one more copy of that American Government. The price is marked in the front. —Sorry, but we are out of Societies. —Yes, we charge only 10 per cent for all sales. —Now who is next?"
Thus it has gone all the past week at the University's new book exchange. Neil Ireland and Chancey Hunter have been kept hopping from one end of the stall to the other, with a level below which satisfy the impatient crowds that clamored at the window for the cast-off text-books.
Judging from the volume of business transacted through the big window of Prof. W. H. Johnson's office during the past week, K. U. feels well satisfied with the work he has done in his Student Council. The project has met with a success beyond the expectations of its promoters. According to the figures furnished by the manager of the exchange and his assistants, $400 had been taken in by Thursday night, and prospects were so good Friday that the $200 mark would reach the $500 mark by Saturday night.
TOOK IN $175 ONE DAY
Twenty and Wednesday were the busy days. Three men were scarcely able to keep up with the crowds on those rush days. Wednesday's receipts were $175. This was the banner day. Students from the College were the best patrons of the exchange, although a large number of engineering texts and medical works were handled during the week. In the opinion of the men in charge this was due, partly because the dead people kept most of their old books, and partly because the exchange has not advertised itself so well to those departments.
Speaking of the success of the exchange and its prospects, Chaucey Hunter, who has been helping Manager Ireland handle the business, said. "We feel very gratified at the success of our venture, and believe that the exchange will eventually work itself into a cooperative book." He added that he books as well old ones when the business gets well started and the faculty stands back of the proposition with some real assistance.
W. C. Alford, a sophomore in the College, has left for his home in Hazelton and will not be in school this semester.
The exchange will close for the semester Monday or Tuesday, so that all students who have planned to purchase books or collect for books sold, will have to complete their business at once. The ex-ample is an and number of Spanish, Latin, French, German, and Greek readers and classics, which will be used in a few weeks by the different language departments. If students who know that they will need these texts would purchase them at once, they would be able to save money, and at the end they could wind up the business without turning back so many insoluble books
"At present we are hampered by the inconvenience of our quarters, and by the lack of a systematic plan for handling the books, but we intend to improve the service as soon as business allows. We have also agreed to number We have of the slowness with which the students took hold of the new idea. They were slow to bring in their books."
SENIOR WOMENS' MIXER

A new painting entitled "Dawn" by Professor Griffith has recently finished will be a feature of the exhibit of unusual interest to Kansans. He got his idea for this picture while attending a lecture on cowboy ballads, given last year at the University by Mr. Lomax of the University of Texas.

After the recital refreshments will be served. This will be one of the evenings arranged during the year by the Student-mental committee of the University Club.
Take Vitazone—Be Well
Chemistry Laboratory Brings to Lighta Panacea That Will Cure Anything From a Toe-Ashe to a Retro-Active Liver
"Here is one of the latest", said Prof. G, N. Watson of the State Drug Laboratory as he handed a bottle to a Kansan cub.
The bottle was about the four-councise size and was partially filled with a browniish liquid which from its appearance might have been rain water from a roof of new shingles, the label pronounced it to be Vitzane, a cure for indigestion, constipation, bowel disorder, rheumatism, liver, heart failure, stomach stones, fresh cuts, sores, catarrh, ceamprosma, impaired blood and general disabilities. Internal dose. Half a teaspoonful in a half glass of water.
"Here is a little historical sketch," said Professor Watson as he handed the cub a small pamphlet which read like a fairy tale. In this pamphlet were testimonials praising highly the success of the process and a description of the process by which that wonderful cure-all is manufactured.
From the analysis made in the drug library it was found to be a 1.5 per cent solution of forrous sulphate which was about $70\%$ and about two per cent of free sulphuric acid. The retail price is fifty cents; the value of the ingredients is too small to estimate directly, but both so solution is sold," said Professor Watson.
"Vitazone is the pure liquid extract of mineral earth, made by leaching the mineral earth with water. The Vitazone earth is found in the Tombigbee river hills of southwestern Alabama. The earth is removed from the soil by the sap until it oxidizes, then placed in hoppers and percolated with pure water. The "drip" is Vitazone. It is the strongest natural liquid known, being of such strength it will burn the skin when applied at its strongest. It is one of the most powerful antiseptics and germicides known. It contains alcohol, added distillate and other chemical elements found in the water from which it is taken, and these are held suspended in pure water."
The 589 undergraduate students, who were employed last year through the Harvard Students' Employment Bureau, added $30,000 to their incomes. This amount shows a decrease of about 17% each year. This deficit is due to the faculty ruling, which abolished tutoring during the college term.
A statue of Era Cornell is to be erected at Ithaca during the coming celebration in honor of the founding of Cornell University.

ATTACK WAR FILM
Lawrence Ministers Denounce From Pulpit "Battle Cry of Peace" Pictures
Two Lawrence ministers, the Rev. Noble S. Elderkin of the Congregational Church and the Rev. O. C. Brown of the Baptist church, took as the theme for their sermons Sunday night the "Battle Cry of Peace." Both agreed that the moving pictures had been shown before the Lawrence people.
"The pictures should have been condemned," Mr. Eldikerin said, "because they were to the extreme of being a form of stupid, and of making only advocates of preparedness gentlemen. The producers acted on the assumption that war is fought now as it was in the past, and we must conquest of the feminine, and of brute lust. He directly charged that the pictures were fostered and backed by munction makers and that the films had an influence of the Fox Film Producing Company.
Mr. Elderin explained that he, like hundreds of other Lawrence people, had paid his fifty cents to see the pictures, and had acquired a number of ideas through the attempt of the militarists to arouse enthusiasm for further preparedness. He said that so long as he was prepared to favor of preparedness that he felt it his duty to do justice to the cause which he considered in the right.
OPPOSED TO T. R.
"These pictures," said Mr. Elderskin, "had the approval of the militarist; of such a man as the Theodore Roosevelt. I consider him the strongest advocate of preparedness that the world has, unless it be the Kaiser."
The pictures, with a slight change of setting could be shown in foreign countries to arouse the same antagonism against us. If no certain enemy was meant in the picture, then we might be warned that enemy might be England. Follow out that argument, the United States would of necessity need to amply forly herself against England along the Canadian boundary.
PRICE OF PEACE
“There are two ways of having peace according to most views,” concluded Mr. Elderkin, “and they are by the machine gun, aeroplane and submarine method, or else by the present method used in regard to our agreement with the United States of the Canadian boundary. I consider the method of playing fair to be the most just and the most effective. War is had at any price. The pacifist wishes to pay the full price. Milli- millimeters is merely a lull of inactivity. The preacher’s aim is good will, kindness, mutual regard and justice.”

SILENTLY ONE BY ONE
STUDES GET GRADES
A long restless line of college students, engineers and even the usually uninterested laws waited in front of the Registrar's window today for the results of last semester's work or play. Between classes the line sometimes grew unusually long and became too far for their grades, waited patiently.
Registrar Foster stated this morning that the giving out of grade would continue until all the students were satisfied but he added that this did not necessarily mean satisfied with grades.

Biggest Enrollment Expected For Week's Short Courses
Five hundred merchants for the Short Course this week is the conservative estimate of the enrollment for all five days, made by F. R. Hamilton, of the extension division who is in charge of the course.
At 11 o'clock this morning 106 merchants had reported to the registration office in Room 117, Fraser Hall, for a group of teachers who shown the smallest enrollment of any half-day in the course. A number of special cars are expected from the larger towns over the state, and with the Lawrence merchants, who will attend the classes, the prophesised that the classes will be crowded to capacity every day.
Work started at eight o'clock this morning with a class in card writing under the direction of F. J. Weeks of Joplin, Missouri. Mr. Weeks is connected with the Modern Trunk Faculty of Joplin, superintending the sign painting to his reputation as a commercial sign painter, he has become well known as an instructor in sign painting, and those who took the work under him last year vouch for his ability along this particular line. Mr. Weeks will be in the Engineering Building on the eighth hours out of every day during the week from 8 until 12 in the morning and from 1 until 5 in the afternoon.
SKILTON GIVES RECITAL
At 9 o'clock this morning Professor Skilton gave an organ recital in Fraser Chapel. Only about thirty merchants were present on account of the early start, barely started, but before the program was finished a good crowd had gathered.
"In a small town the merchant is better informed as to the integrity and financial status of the individuals composing it than any single person. In his work he gives him a great deal of power for good, and he is looked up to when sound and practical advice is needed." The speaker explained the benefit of improvements especially before retirement. His age, and he gave a good deal of practical information and advice concerning the right kind of paving and the supervision of the work by the townpeople themselves. He also helped them themselves and the growing interest that is being taken in them.
Otto Buerhmann of Chicago, instructor in salesmanship for the Carson Pirelli Scott Dry Goods Co., and the Hub stores of that city, this morning gave the first of a series of six lectures on salesmanship which he over during the week. The lecture the manager gave "How to Buy Profitably." It was given before a crowd of more than a hundred merchants.
J. B. MARCELLUS SPEAKS
J. B. Marcellus, of the Universal Cement Company of Kansas City, spoke to the merchants at 10:30 in the lecture room at the Engineering Building on "The Merchant and Public Improvement."
MANY ROUND TABLES
In speaking of the work of the University Extension Division in bringing the influence of the University to others than the younger student, I am reminded of the influence of the modern successful educational institution extends far beyond the prescribed work of the old colleges. Our colleges are now striving to improve the quality of human endeavor. They are seeking the betterment of all classes and conditions from a thoroughly practical point of view, thus including the medium designated as Extension Work that thousands never enrolled as students."
Mr. Marcellus showed the position of importance held in the average community, but especially the rural community, by the average meritorious to what extent he can wield a power or good or evil among his customers.
At eleven-thirty in the Engineering Building the plans for the various "round tables" were discussed by their respective chairmen. The round tables meet each day at four-thirty and there will be an open discussion of the following lines of attention at their respective meeting places: department chairs, ware, clothiers, furniture, shoes, auto supplies, general merchandise, groceries, druggists, clerks, secretaries.
At 5 and 7 o'clock this evening moving pictures will be 'shown in Fraser Hall. In the evening a
