FISCHER'S SHOES ARE GOOD SHOES
We Can't Tell You—
Why this shoe is better than any other shoe we have for you to
select from for Five Dollars. It isn't perhaps.
It simply appeals to so many young men who are looking for a shoe different from others.

INVENTS WRITING MACHINE

Prof. Nutt, of Oread, Has New Device Used for Measuring Hand Writing
In the office of Prof. H. W. Nutt, the head of the Oread Training School, is a unique machine, invented by Professor Nutt for measuring the value of rhythm in writing. This device consists of a frame of wood about two feet by three feet. In this frame are two rollers which carry a paper ribbon four inches wide under a brass plate by means of a handle on one of the rollers. In the brass plate, which has an opening about eight inches square, are set a pen hung in a lexer connected to an armature and battery which cause the pen to vibrate at an even rate and through an even distance and two pencils which make parallel lines by means of which the height of the writer's curves may be measured. There is also a sheet of ordinary paper and between this paper and the ribbon of paper is a wide typewriter ribbon, which is revolved by the same wheel as that which feeds the paper through.
After adjusting the armature and giving the operator a sentence to write, Professor Nutt turns the handle that feeds the ribbons through the brass plate. The writing of the operator appears as ordinary long-hand on the upper sheet, but resolves itself into a series of irregular curves under the measuring scale this is examined for the evenness, easiness, and the legibility with which the sentence was written. These curves can be measured to the thousandth of an inch and a hundredth of a second, and by the extreme accuracy of these measurements Professor Nutt expects to reach a thoroughly scientific conclusion about man's ability in the building and learning of a good form in penmanship, which at the present are based on the notions of individuals.
"We expect to examine the school children of every age that is commonly included in the grade school."
aid Professor Nutt. "We shall also take samples of the writing of four people' of the model age from each grade and of writing of each of the various systems of penmanship. By examining these we can compare the present systems of teaching penmanship, and recommend one of them as the best, or possibly establish a radically new and better one than any that we now have. We shall find at what age rhythm and the free-hand movements are of maximum value; be he other facts dislike that will change the results of the whole investigation. Whatever these are they will be published in a pamphlet and sent to the teachers of the state."
ANNUAL BOARD WILL MEET
General Plan to Be Outlined and Assignments Given, Followed by Feed
The Jayhawkboard Board will hold its first meeting of the year in Room 110 of Fraser Hall tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. Every member of the staff, both business and editorial, is expected to attend. The general plan of the book will be outlined by Editor E. M. Johnson. Manager Ross Busenstein is responsible for the work. Assignments will be made to every member of the staff, so that the work of compiling material for the book may begin at once.

In addition to talks by the editor and manager, three faculty men have been asked to speak. Prof. Merle Thorpe, of the department of journalism, will give the staff some practical advice in regard to getting out the book; Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith, who managed the "Columbian" at Columbia University, New York, in 1896, will tell how they used to do it in the old days; and Prof. W. A. Griffith, of the Fine Arts drawing and painting department, will suggest art features for the book.
"We want every member of the staff to be present at the meeting," said Editor Johnson this morning. "It is essential that we all get together on the start, and that we work in co-operation until the book is completed. We want the 1916 Jayhawker to be remembered on the Hill as the biggest achievement in Annual publication yet attained at K. U. That
The meeting tomorrow night will be followed by an informal "feed."
PLAN MIXER FOR ALUMNI
Seniors Will Be Hosts at Home-
Coming Reception Before Kansas-
Nebraska Game
Nebraska Game
The senior class is planning entertainment for the K. U. alumni at their home-coming to the Kansas-Nebraska game. The class will be hosts at a rousing big mixer at which the alumni will be the honored guests.
Immediately after the big pep rally in the Gym on the night before the game, there will be a big torch-light parade down town. Everybody, from "old grads" to freshmen, will be excused as long as alumni mixer will occur immediately after the parade, probably in Fraternial Hall.
The athletic management will present "Ks" to all those alumni who earned their letters in major sports before the custom of giving letters was started. The Glee and Mandolin Clubs will give the program they are preparing for the State Teachers' Convention in Tepeka on November 12 and 13, 2015. Of course, there will be speeches by Coach Olcott, Uncle Jimmy, the Chancellor, Manager Hamilton, and a number of others.
The purpose of the mixer will be to make the alumni feel welcome to the University and to give them an opportunity to mingle with old classmates and talk over old times at K. U.
The following committee has been appointed by C. A. Randolph, senior president, to cooperate with him in putting on the senior-alumni mixer. E. M. Johnson, chairman, Walter W. Wood, Prof. L. N. Flint, secretary of the alumni, Joe Gaitskill, cheerleader, and Guy Waldo.
The Sachems, senior honorary society, will cooperate to make the mixer a success.
Final Preparations for Sooner Game Being Held Behind Closed Gates
PRACTICING IN SECREY

The large "Secret Practice" sign has been dug up at McCook Field and posted on the big entrance gate. This gives ground to the belief that Olecott is going to put in some good licks before the Sooner jamboree in Norman Saturday. Furthermore the officials announce that practice today and tomorrow will also be behind closed gates.
Wednesday
4:30—Cercle Francais, 306 Fraser Hall.
The nature of the practice cannot be determined from the outside but it is a safe guess to say defensive work against Owen's style of play is being taught. Then too, Kansas will be given some instruction in handling the forward flips. This form of play has not been very successful this year or in past years but it is time in winning some games. Olcett is a believer in this open play, unless he has given up the idea since coming west.

bad. Then the Texas Longhorns, one of the strongest teams of the south, were unable to conquer the open play of the Sooners. This does not give Kansas much hope for in past years the Jayhawkers have been very ineffective in using their hands to break up plays.
The injured list is not very big just at present but the crimimage this week may make some trouble for the Jayhawker mentor. Keeling is the only one who is sure not to get in Saturday's affair. His knee is still in bad shape but he will doubtless be ready to tear up the Cornhuskers.
NEBRASKA WILL SEND
TWO TRAINS FOR ROOTERS
A letter from Guy Reed, manager of athletics at the University of Nebraska, was received this morning requesting that eight hundred tickets for the K. U.-Cornhusker game be sent to Lincoln at once, for the two train load of Stiehm rooters which will come with the Nebraska eleven. One special will be for the Cornhuskerr students while the other will carry Nebraska business men from Lincoln and Omaha.
An unusually large number of orders for tickets for the game were received this morning and Manager Hamilton is warning all students who have not made their selections of The thundering T and to send in their orders at once.
