TRAIN SPORT REPORTERS
Times Sport Editor Would Send All Newswriters to Journalism School
"The young men of today," said H. P. Burchell, sport editor of the New York Times in chapel Friday afternoon, "are receiving a technical idea of sport in the universities, and when some the sport editors of tomorrow"
Mr. Burchell has been in the sports department of the Times for sixteen years, and is now making a tour of the United States, lecturing to students of journalism on "The Place of Sport in the Modern Newspaper," which he published in the sporting news to the newspaper, and the recency of its growth.
Be Accurate and Speedy
"There are still some newspaper men who are skeptical about schools of journalism. Perhaps that is because the schools seem to place more emphasis on accuracy than speed. Both speed and accuracy are needed. Why, on Saturday I have to send twenty-five or thirty columns of sport news to the composing room. It takes speed to do that. However, do not pay too much attention to the shoots; graduate columns of journalism are coming to the front right along and will soon be taking the place of the present editors of the different newspapers.
"Thirty years ago," he said, "there was no such a thing as a sport department on the air. Anyone who wants to people want accurate, clever sports news. The schools of journalism are giving their share of good sport writers—better men than the average. They have "back off" and had no chance to the real sports are like.
Trained Writers Needed
Trained "For Instance," he continued, "with the United States leading in athletic sports, and thousands of athletic clubs being active, we need trained writers for this great audience.
"Writers of sport news do not use slang as they did formerly, for they have discovered the false psychology of it. People do not consider slang to be appropriate for the outlandish terms that once were used in the sport columns."
WHY CERTAIN PERSONS
CANNOT EAT CERTAIN FOOD
After the lecture, Mr. Burchell answered questions put by journalism students. In answer to a question about the chances of women in newspaper work he repelled them by placing her on the newspaper platter for women. When you are ready to start out, come to New York and you'll get a trial there."
Why some persons cannot eat certain common foods without disasterful results, was explained by Prof Clarence Estes in his talk on "Anaphylaxis and Anaphylcytic Ranu" where the Chemical Clint Wednesday.
Through faulty digestion certain nitrogenous substances may be absorbed by the system so that the person becomes sick in enter the person becomes sick.
This theory also partly explains why the second injection of tetanus or diphtheria serum sometimes has ill effects. The principle can be used as a means of detection in certain criminal cases, where the character of blood is known to contour, a doubt, or the dried blood may be injected into a guinea pig and the effect compared with a later injection of known blood serum.

DECLARE WAR ON THE PILL
Attorney General Urges County At
torneys To Stop Sale of Cigar-
rettes in State
As a result of the efforts of Prow Wm. A. McKeever of the department of Child Welfare of the Extension Division to secure enforcement of the Anti-Cigarette law, and in response to complaints of abuse among others and other interested persons all over the state, asking that the law be made effective, Attorney-General S. M. Brewster has issued to the count attorneys of the state, a letter related to make the law operative to greater extent than is now the case.
No Attempt to Enforce Law
An extract from the Attorney-General's letter reads as follows:
"Educators from all over the state have been called into the regulation of the provisions of this law and they are claiming that cigarettes are being used by high-school pupils, and even by grade pupils, and that no attempt is made to enforce the law."
Professor McKeever said, when seen by a Kansan reporter, "Welfare workers over the state and especially those who must deal with boys, are coming to recognize the cigarette as one of the most dangerous agencies affecting the life of the young. I receive appeals for protection most hastily." In his opinion Mr. Brewster's letter will do much good, as some of the county attorneys have been entirely ignoring the existence of the Anti-Cigarette law.
Fifty couples largely from the fleshman class of the University, and from the Lawrence high school attended the freshman dance in Robinson Gymnasium Friday night. There was no arranged program but some of the newer dances by Professor Palmbold and Professor Davis, with their partners. Music was furnished by Claire Dietrich.
PROFESSORS SHOW HOW NEW DANCES ARE
The most noticeable feature of the dance was the large number of Betty Wales dancing frocks worn. According to the new ruling the舞ce closed promptly at twelve o'clock, although the dancers protested the curtailing of their good taste and the treasure of freshman class, said this morning that about ten dollars had been cleared and that another dance would be given soon, in order to put the class on a sound financial basis.

CY BATHS STOP COLDS TO DEBATE ON ATHLETICS
Students Should not Make Drastic Changes in Mode of Living, Says Prof. Rees
That the sudden change in habits of living is the main cause for the wide spread epidemics of colds, which is affecting the students, is the belief held by Prof. M. H. Rees, of the department of physiology.
"The students are eating more and exercising less than they were accustomed to during the vacation," said Professor Rees, "and they have also adopted different kinds of clothing.
The congestion of blood in the inner organs, caused by the sudden chilling of the skin, or by the process of digestion, prevents a free circulation of pure blood through the congested areas. In such an environment the germs of colds increase with great rapidity. After they have once taken hold, medicine does little good.
The best way to prevent colds is to form the habit of taking a cold bath every morning. This causes the body to become acidic and thus irritates the inner organs and enables it to resume its natural position with greater rapidity.
"The European war has created a great demand for all kinds of drugs and especially those which tend to alleviate cold symptoms in their power to get hold of all the surplus overstock held by the retailers."

GOVERNOR CAPPER SPEAKS
Chief Executive of State Talks Abou Kansas Youths at Christian Church Sunday
Governor Arthur Capper spoke Sunday night at the Christian church before an audience of twelvehwrren from organizations of Kansas Youth For Citizenship."
"Kansas has fewer illiterates per capita than any other state in the union," said Governor Capper, "and at present sixty-seven counties of the state have been made up of the county poor farms are vacant and others are being rented out to private farmers. The Kansas prohibitory law is partially responsible for the present desirable condition of the charitable and penal institutions."
"It is the work of the schools of the state to prepare its youth for citizenship and the work accomplished by them in Kansas obviously shows that that work has not been a failure."
Mr. Capper also stated his views upon the question of national preparedness, "Europe," he declared, "will be so exhausted after this present war that they will not want any more, and this presumption is but a panic which has begun in the cast and is spreading westward."
REGISTRAR GIVES PART OF
HIS OFFICE FOR CLASSROOM
The north room of the Registrar's office is to be vacated soon by Registrar George O. Foster and will probably be turned into a class room. To make up for the loss of the office, the office on the south, formerly used by the Board of Administration will be used by the Registrar and arranged so that students in the waiting line will enter the present entrance, go through the double door, and out at the entrance of the building. This new arrangement will permit the clerks to do their work and still not be in each other ways.
Later perhaps, a wall will be built from the southeast corner of the vault to the east wall, making a room of the northeast corner of the office building. On the Board of Administration and also as a private officer for the Registrar.

INTERURBAN IS COMING
Grading Finished To Lawrence Service Will Start Early Next Year
That the interurban line known as the Kansas City, Kaw Valley and Western, which is to bring Lawrence into closer touch with Kansas City, will be completed early next year is now a certainty.
J. T. Skinner, manager of the Lawrence Street Railway Company, said yesterday that the interurban line is rapidly nearing completion and although winter will hinder the work to some extent, it is possible that it will be in operation some time in January or February. The grading has been finished to the city limits of North Lawrence and service is already maintained between Springs and Kansas. The inter-urban line to the Kuw river via the concrete bridge with a turn out in front of the Eldridge hotel.
Slight Reduction in Fare
J. J, Heim, president of the Lawrence Gas and Electric Light Company, is behind the movement, and the construction was begun by the supervision of his son-in-law, Mr. J. D. Klemm, of Kansas City. The terminus will be located on Locust street.
There will be a slight reduction in fare from the regular rates now charged by the Santa Fe and Union Pacific. Cars will be run every hour until midnight, continuing until after midnight. The trin will take an hour and a half.
"I do not think that the new line will affect the local merchants to any great extent," said Mr. Skinner. "In fact there will be a number of people who make their home here in Lawrence and go to Kansas City during the day."
SIX PHARMACY STUDENTS
SIX PHARMACY STUDENTS
TAKE STATE EXAMINATION
From the report of the six Pharmacy students who took the State Board Examination, Wednesday, a state pharmacy exam means real work. The grades will be given out in a week.
Students who graduate in the School of Pharmacy may register in the state without taking this examination, but a registration by examination gives them better standing in other states. For this reason, few pharmacy students fail to take this examination.
Hold Examinations Soon
Examinations for advanced standing in German will be held December 4, at Room 309 to 12 Fraser between the sores of 9 to 19. Prof. W. W.Hawk-Eshleigh Eshleigh; Prof. W. Hawk-Palma will have charge of the work. Many applications have already been received. All students who wish to take the examination are requested to consult the committee as soon as possible, because the number of studen- ts must be kept great that many of them will have to be left over until another time.
