FURS SPREAD DISEASE
Numerous Grippe Cases Now Prevalent are Probably Due
Furs are unsanitary and are, according to University doctors, often the means by which epidemics and skin diseases are spread.
to Muffs
"The habit which so many girls have of coughing into their muffs is very bad," said Dr. Goetz, "the cold gets in and then the wearer puts the muff up to her face she thus falls a victim to her own germs. Undoubtedly a great many of the gripe patients who suffer on the Hill were sorered through furs."
The death of Sophie Rosen, a 17-year old packer in a candy factory in New York City, is said to have resulted from anthrax, contracted from wearing cheap cat fur on her suit.

According to Dr. Goetz the danger of anthrax is no greater in cheap furs than in expensive ones. Dr. Goetz believes that the only danger in cheap furs is that they could be made under swatshop conditions, tuberculosis and such diseases common to tenement districts might be carried through them. "It would be a very good idea if women would send medical supplies to be disinfected," said Dr. Goetz.
DEAN BLACKMAR TALKS
TO K. C. PEDAGOGUES
Dean F. W. Blackmar of the department of sociology returned from Kansas City Saturday evening after delivering an address before some two hundred teachers of the Kansas city schools on subject of sociology. The address was given in the Central high school building.

Speakers are engaged to talk to various groups on the subjects of most interest to them from the past and has been given the group who wish to discuss sociological questions discussed.
That great strides have been taken in the last ten years by physicists in their endeavor to discover what lies within the subatomic world was the theme of the lecture given in Fraser Friday afternoon by R. A. Millikan, professor of physics in the University and well known writer and authority.
Professor Millikan pointed out that through the aid of recent discoveries it has been determined that the atom is not the indivisible component of matter. It has also been that it is made up of minute particles of electricity. This has been shown by catching electrons on droplets of oil, floating between electrically charged plates, and by photographing electrically thrown off from atoms of gas.
By these discoveries, Professor Millikan declared, the elements have been arranged in an arithmetic series which seems to show that each element is formed from the one before it, by the addition of some constant thing. He had also the evidence seen to付他 to hydrogen in basal element; so far all the elements have been regulated to this table but three."

ONLY TWELVE MORE DAYS
TILL CHRISTMAS RECCES
Count 'em, ye students, count 'em.
Begin with today, number off twelve,
and you have it,—twelve days till you
shake the dust from the old suitcase,
and get your shoes on. You and your pair of sex. If you are a fussy coed, a party dress or two may find its place among the jumble of middyblouses, skirts, and fixin's, when you prepare to start for that place called and a real Christmas with the folks.
The Christmas recess will begin at 5:30, Friday, December 17. Classes will be resumed Monday morning, January 3 at 8:30.
Already students are beginning to taste the delicious morsels that invariably adorn mother's table at this time of the year and some say they are longing for the plains and the old shot-gun.
Some of the faculty, too, have begun to feel a premature exuberance
and are talking of the things they intend to do when the quiz papers have all been graded. Many, however, are wondering how they will restrain their too ambitious students from prolonging vacation.
Juniors Pay UD Readily
“Most of the juniors when asked to pay their memorial fee pay it,” said Willard Glasco this morning. “But there are some who always kill. We have to work very hard, but the juniors who have paid their fee in the Kansan the last of next week. Maybe that will make the rest of them pay up.” The junior class has fifty members and they hope to raise the amount to twice the amount. It is the aim of the class to raise most of the memorial fund this year, which if done will enable them to care for other things next year. There are more than 80% of the class are collecting the money and if they have not seen you, they will before the names are published.

It is just as easy, and much cheaper in the long run to get in touch with that restful feeling of knowing that your laundry will come back on time and well done, as to be worried for several days each week as to when and how your laundry is coming home.
