FITTEST SCHOLARS SURVIVE
How Dartmouth is Keeping Its Enrollment at a Reasonable Size.
Mid-year examinations at Dartmouth left a trail of ruin and destruction. Fifty-four men, including many "good fellows" and several great athletes, were separated from the college as a result. The wholesale dropping of students is due to the fact that Dartmouth has a strong board and the board of trustees is taking this measure of limiting the enrollment and maintaining a high scholarship.
By this method men who have lacked opportunities for a thorough preparation are given a chance to overcome their handicaps, but once within the college they must maintain a standard high enough to honor Dartmouth or be dropped. It is a system of the survival of the fitted.

THE GREEKS OF OLD DESPISED "RINGERS"
SCHOLARSHIPS OPEN TO SMART YOUNG PUPPY DOGS
We Should Likewise Condemm College Offenders, Says Captain Pierce.
"A rule that has existed since 576 B. C." said Captain Palmer Pierce president of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, in discussing the amateur rules that apply to college athletics in chapel this college, "must have a great deal of merit in it somewhere."
The speaker pointed out that the trend of opinion from the times of the earliest classic games to modern times has ever been toward the prohibition of participation by professionals in games with amateurs.
"The participants in the Olympic games," said Captain Pierce, "were required to swear before the statue of Jove that they were eligible to participate in the games, that they had trained for ten months, and that they would not use foul means to gain a victory.
The speaker also declared that the spirit that prompted students to delude the faculty by playing "ringers" on an athletic team was one of the bad results of primisuous professionalism.
"When there are professional students in school," said Captain Pierce there will always be attempts to break the rules.
In order to promote strictly amateur college athletics, the prohibition of summer playing by college ball players is absolutely essential.
“Besides, the temptations of an immoral nature that are offered to summer baseball players in minor leagues are such that I should never permit a son of mine to play on a minor league team.”
Professor and Mrs. W. H. Carruth were guests of the Alemannia Club at dinner Wednesday evening. Professor Carruth sang several German solos for the club.
Everyone has heard of the cunning of the rat and of the brainy feats which he has performed, and there are few who have not known at some time, either a kitten or a puppy which possessed almost his man intelligence. Mr. Dockeray desires a few specimens in order to train them along scientific lines,
Have you a kitten or puppy that you would like to enroll in a psychology class? Or perchance you have a big healthy rat whose education has been neglected. In either case there is now a good opening for you to initiate your pets into the fields of higher learning.
The class in Animal Psychology under Professor Dockeray, is ready to begin its work but is unable to make a start because of the seeming lack of ambition on the part of the desired animals.
If anyone knows of any neglected young rodents or any healthy, ambiguous representatives of the canine or feline families, he will confer a great service to the psychology department by enrolling them in this class.
For this reason and in order that the animals may develop no set habits, those less than a year old are desired. It is a question as to whether animals think, and the object of this course is to try to determine something definite about the matter.
giving them such a bringing-up as children receive.
There will be no nivexisection; the animals will be treated with every consideration and fed well every day, as they are wanted to be on their best behavior. The only labor required of them will be to "show off" their accomplishments and smartness every time the class meets.
Johns Hopkins Professor of Education and Psychology Says They Are
AMERICAN COLLEGES TOO CONSERVATIVE?
EXCESSIVE CRITICISM FATAL
Many Excellent Courses Suffer From Rules of Entrance Laid Down 800 Years Ago.
Criticism of America's higher institutions of learning as being ultral conservative was made by Dr. Edward F. Bucher, professor of Education and Philosophy on John Hopkins University, before the meeting of the society of college teachers in St. Louis. He would be interested in contact with the department of superintendence of the National Educational Association.
"Before any subject of study is recognized by the curriculum of our higher institutions of learning," said Professor Buchner, "it must run the gaggleot of all their criticisms with respect to its subject matter, its technique and its results. The course of human knowledge and a human teaching would have been very different from what it has been in the past eight hundred years if universities primarily set involved values and benefits involved in their education. Education, for example, in the past eight hundred years, as well as long before, was an individual art and a social need; but it is one of the last subjects to receive recognition under all the criteria which universities have come to adopt."
In discussing the question as to what should be the difference between graduate and undergraduate work of both graduates and undergraduates, he said "particularly the latter, should be so well balanced with respect to the threefold knowledge of history, science and technique as will guarantee to the student, within the range of ordinary probability, an intellectual appreciation of the unity in all education and a transfer thereof into professional ability.
GLEE CLUB'S SPECIAL BROKE 23-YEAR RECORD

Needles, Cal., March 1—The Glee club entered California this morning. The blizzards in this section of the country have tied up the traffic and here has not been a train from the last in the last three days.
The business men of Dallas entertained the club. A visit was made to the mountains and the mines were visited. All concerts have been good, up to date.

Captain H. E. Steele of the University Company of the K. N. G., does not think the company is in any imminent danger of being sent to Mexico.
"Of course," said Captain Steele when asked about the prospects of a trip last night, "if hostilities should commence between the United States and Mexico, the chances for a trip to the southwest would be good.
In case of war the militia is always called out before there is any call for volunteers, and our company would be called upon to go with the others."
HOTTEST ISSUE IN NEWSPAPER HISTORY
Send the Daily Kansan home.
"Herald of Freedom" Figured in Battle on Wakarusa in 1856
TYPE AND PRESS FOR SHOT
A Few "Editions" of the Lawrence Newspaper Fired From Cannon Dislodged the Missourians
Among the Kansas editors who will meet at the University in April, there will probably be a number who are satisfied that their papers have taken a few pretty "hot shots" at various objects during their history. Their stories cf conquest will sound "tame" in comparison with that of the "Herald of Freedom," the first newspaper in Lawrence.
It was in August of 1856 that the Lawrence newspaper exerted its great influence on the free-state struggle in Kansas. The Missourians were attempting to blot out Lawrence which was the center of the free-state movement. They had built a line of forts along the Wakarusa river a few miles south of Lawrence.
The Lawrence men prepared to take the forts, and brought an old cannon into service. They had plenty of powder but no shot. It was then that the "Herald of Freedom" running the green flag of beacon of theattle, offered its type and press which were moulded into cannon balls.
The Kansans bombarded the forts with the improvised ammunition and each time a shot was fired they would shout: "another issue of the Herald of Freedom." It is unnecessary to say that the Lawrence men won.
ALAS! STUDENTS MUST BE MORE CAREFUL
Watch Conduct By the Week for Grades Are Recorded That Way.
The blanks are sent out from the Deans office on Thursday and are filled out and returned Friday. These weekly reports are copied and filed in the Dean office where they are open to inspection by eligibility committees.
By a recent action of the University Council, all instructors are required to report weekly the attendance and general standing of the students in their classes. This system went into effect last week and now each student has a weekly instead of monthly account with the University.
NEW CASE FOR MODELS
Hyperbolic Parabaloides and Round Ellipsoids Find Resting Place
An assortment of models has just been moved into the new cases built for the mathematics department in the Administration Building. Some of the string models were constructed by mathematic students, but most of them were made in Germany.
The gypsum models are especially interesting. They cost several hundred dollars, some of the more intricate ones, as high as seven or eight dollars apiece. These models will be used as patterns by the mathematics department.
PROF. HUNTER A LOBBYIST
Prof. S. J. Hunter, of the Entomology department, is in Washington, D. C., this week investigating the national legislation regarding the importation of nursery stock and plants of all kinds.
The progressive Republican club of the University of Chicago has been asked by various progressive republican candidates for aldermen to the Chicago city council to supply workers for the polls. The club will give the candidates their support.
Entomologist, in Washington Working for Nursery Stock Protection
During the Christmas holidays, Professor Hunter was the delegate from the University of Kansas to the nurserymen's convention in Washington, D. C. At that time, legislation in this matter was attempted but so far, nothing has been done.

METER MUSTN'T TELL EVEN WHITE UNTRUTHS
Morality of Gas Measurer Examined by Experts in Testing Labs.
The gas meters which were sent to the University recently by the State Public Utilities Commission are being tested in the testing laboratory under the direction of Prof. P. F. Walker. The process used is very simple, and the results of the tests should be relatively accurate.
Immediately above the burner is a copper heating coil which is also enclosed in the oven. Water of known temperature is allowed to run through the coil, and the temperature after passing through the coil is again noted. The heated water is collected in a large tank and carefully weighed.
A small gas reservoir has been prepared, and this is filled with gas from the main. The pressure in the reservoir may be varied at will by increasing or decreasing the weight resting on its "float." An inch and a quarter pipe connects the reservoir to a burner enclosed in a brick oven.
The gas meter under test is placed in the pipe leading from the reservoir to the burner, and its readings recorded in conjunction with the amount of water heated and the gas pressure.
A gauge on the reservoir also indicates the amount of gas used, so if the erratic meter runs too fast, it can be checked up by the reservoir reading.

SENIOR YOUNG WOMEN FORM NEW SOCIETY
Prominence in Activities Basis for Membership as with Sachems.
ORGANIZATION
ELEVEN
Two Representatives From Each Sorority and Three Non-Sorority Members—Name Tomorrow.
A senior young women's society similar in its organization and purpose to the Sachaens had been formed in the University. At present the membership consists of two young women from each sorority, but a meeting will be held tomorrow at which three nonsorory members will be elected.
Two young women from each sorority took the initiative in forming the society: Leoete McFarlin, Luecelle Wilkinson, Joseph Walkine Brownie Angle, Myra Rogers, Katherine Dolman, Grace Wilkie, and Eder Degen.
The first meeting was held a month ago when plans were made for organizing, and it was decided to limit the membership to eleven. A name for the society will probably be decided upon at that time.
This is the first organization of the kind to be started in the University and it is thought that the junior and adult sets will follow the example set by the seniors.
The new members will be elected at the close of each school year from among those most prominent in school activities.
HEY HUNGERED AFTER
ART AND WERE FILLED
Over Three Thousand Saw Ninth Annual Exhibit in Administration Building—Receipts $333.
Between 3000 and 3500 people attended the ninth annual art exhibit given by the School of Fine Arts. The receipts amounted to $533. Besides the paid admission, about two thousand complimentary tickets were distributed among the pupils of the Lawrence schools and it is estimated that more than five hundred of these tickets were used.
Professor Griffith said yesterday afternoon that the exhibit was a financial success this year, and that the total amount of the receipts would almost bear the entire expense of the exhibition.
The most successful exhibit from a financial viewpoint ever held here was in 1907 when the Tissot collection was shown. The receipts were $750 that year. In 1903, eight thousand people, the largest attendance ever recorded, visited the exhibit which lasted for three months. During the past eight years, the exhibition has lasted only three weeks.
Students at Oberlin are endeavors to introduce fraternities. Opposition by some of the faculty, however, renders the success of the movement rather problematical.
"NOW AND THEN A STRAY PICKET" GOT ICY MISSILE
A lone sentinel with sword and gun tramped his beat one afternoon last week in front of the Phi Delt house.
Up and down on either side was scattered a line of sharpshooters Among them were some of the foremost snowball champions of Dougla county, and they plied their tormenting art until the ears and face of the unhappy sentinel were a beautiful lobster color.
But he could not reply to the assault. He could not even turn his face to watch oncoming missiles. It would not have made any difference as they came from all directions, but when he entered the house, appeared the heads of those who were evidently the superior officers of the picket on duty.

They witnessed their comrade's plight but instead of issuing orders to relieve the embattled private, they treasonably gave aid and comfort to the enemy. Indeed they assured the invaders that whenever

Every hour a new picket relieved the tormented and nerve-racked pacer on the front walk. Girls approached, looked politely curious, and passed on.
The sentinels were forbidden to speak while on duty. Finally the last nephyte proved the sterling worth of his manhood and had passed, backwards, up the steps of the Phi Delt house. The attacking army went home to supper. But there is not much snow left on the ground in the 1400 block on Tennessee street, and six Phi Delts will see many snows before they forget their initiation ceremonies.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
The eye of the master will do more work than both his hands.
IT'S A QUESTION
Some time ago the question was asked: Does the University desire to join the Missouri Valley Oratorical Association? The answer to this has been neither an emphatic no, nor has it been a vigorous yes. The question was directed to the student body in general, but it appears that only a few men have sufficient interest in the matter to make inquiries concerning it.
Nebraska is wrestling with the same problem and at the present time is in as big a quandary as before. To most universities the advisability of joining something that appeals to only a small portion of the student body, seems to be doubtful and most of them that have joined have done so just as a matter of experiment.
The effect on the University of joining such an association is only a matter of conjecture. At the present time there is a greater interest in debating than has been manifested in years, and it is a question whether entering the Oratorical Association would sacrifice some of this enthusiasm or whether it would serve as a stimulant for all forensic activities.
A general observation of the student body leads one to believe that oratory would not find a hearty reception in this institution. Its adviceability is a matter of doubt and it is a question whether its importance is sufficient to make it worth an experiment.
BIG HIGH SCHOOL EVENT
Last year there were over thirty teams entered in the Interscholastic Basketball Tournament and nearly three hundred high school students were at the University either as contestants or visitors.
Coach Hamilton made the formal announcement yesterday of the fifth tournament for the high schools which will take place in Robinson gymnastium on March 15 and 16. Indications are that this will be the greatest tournament in the history of the University—and this means the world.
Every year has seen an increase interest among the high-school students in this event, and every year has seen greater preparations made by the athletic management for the entertainment of the visitors. This annual tournament has attained such magnitude and has caused such wide spread interest, that several of the other colleges of Kansas are following the lead of the University and are having similar tournaments.
But the big circus always has been and always will be in Lawrence. A University professor is the father of the game. This year the varsity team is already the champion of the southern division of the Missouri Valley Conference and is probable champion of the entire Valley. This team will play for the benefit of the visitors, an exhibition game with a team of all-stars who have graduated from the University.
It is with pleasure that the University extends to every high school in the state an invitation to enter the tournament. Entertainment
will be provided for all, and to those who plan to come to the University of Kansas on March 15 and 16, the Daily Kansan can promise the time of their lives. They will see more in those two days than they can forget in a year.

SO SINGS THE POET
The following is a contribution by a bard on the Michigan Daily. No wonder he's not on the track team; his feet are in such bad condition that he never could place.
The faculty axe has fallen, and hard luck's had its knick, until our track team's chances sum down to flat bed rock. We've made a name for Michigan, with Yost and pigskin glory, but when it comes to track events, they sing a different story. They say Am Arbor's got no show—the studies all have the blues; they tremble when you say Cornell and run at Syracuse. But why is all this holier about our doom in track? You fellows do not mean to say that Michigan won't come back!
When you're feeling like you had no hope in life you had no aim—just think about one day last fall—about that Pennsy game. Right then you'll know that spirit can help out things a lot at times, when folks don't give a cus for the chance Arn Arbor's got. Let up now on the croaking, put the hammer on the shelf, instead of knocking on the team, go out for it yourself.
WHAT ARE YOU WORTH?
Everyone nowadays is talking about the earning capacity of college graduates. President John Grier Hibben, of Princeton recently remarked that the average first-year earning capacity of Princeton grads was $6 a week. President Obama said at an alumnum dinner, said that his graduates were worth about $8 a week.
President Butler hasn't spoken on the subject as yet, much to the regret of the news hurry, but to our gratification as students. This talk of graduates receiving less than $10 a week sounds good in the newspapers and at dinners but it is poor policy to say that a man's education, his intellect, culture and capacity for making friends are to be computed in money figures.
If the graduate of today gets an average salary of $12 a week, has the head of the business firm forgotten that his earning capacity is only $8, and that he is losing $4 a week on the grad? Not much. The business men aren't giving salaries for men who don't earn them; they are getting paid knowing that a graduate isn't asked to accept a position which draws a salary less than $12 a week.
The business man knows the average college capacity for earning; he knows that the man who has had four years of college life will raise the culture of the workshop, of the surveying camp, of the office, or whatever it may be. Then, what is the use of raving about earning capacity of $6 or $8 a week when a man is offered more than that at the commencement of his apprenticeship in the business world.—Columbia Spectator.

AT WORK FOR THE PEOPLE
William Allen White in the Outlook
A comparison of the figures of the cost of higher education in Kansas and in other states is illuminating. The per capita cost to Kansas for normal school education is about $75, for the Agricultural College the per capita cost is about $107, and for the State University it is about $171, making an average per capita cost in the Kansas institutions of higher learning of $117. Now the average per capita cost for higher education in eleven States having institutions that rank equal to those of Kansas—States like Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Michigan, and Ohio—is $202, making a saving in Kansas of 42 per cent over the average cost in the country for similar education. This seems to indicate that, with the equitable distribution of a large per capita wealth, thousands of children are sent into the Agricultural College, the normal schools, and the University, but the increased cost of maintaining these institutions in Kansas is much less than it is in any other State.
STATE WORK BY SCHOOLS
Every year sees some department of the state administration pass into the hands of the institutions of higher learning. The Agricultural College now appoints and controls the state highway engineer, the state dairy commissioner, the state veterinary expert, and has charge of the work for the prevention of spread of diseases in live stock. The University School of Medicine is taking over the administration of laws controlling the public health; the Dean of the Medical School is the administrative officer of the State Board of Health; and the administration of the pure food and drugs law, the water surveys, matters of municipal sewage disposal, and practically all matters pertaining to the public health, are under the control of the University. At the University the state has erected a hospital where all physical defective children must be sent by the county commissioners for treatment, and here all sick or crippled workers in the state, old and young, may receive free treatment, with the bed charges paid by the county commissioners of the counties sending these patients.
Not only in matters of public health does the University serve the state, but the Chancellor is official custodian of weights and measures the curator of the University museums is state fish and game warden and administers the game laws, the Engineering School is assisting the public utilities commission to appraise the railways and utilities of the state, and the department of sociology and economics has offered its services in rate adjustments Moreover, the University and the Agricultural College are seeking to take over jointly the administration of the state architect's office and furnish to school districts, counties and cities plans for all public buildings, parks, and boulevards, either free or at cost, thus making for a permanent plan of architecture in the state, and at the same time taking the department entirely out of politics, as the highway engineer

the dairy commissioner, the state veterinary officers, the administration of the laws relating to hygiene, the game warden, and expert work in the public utilities commission are out of politics.
UNIVERSITY AIDS CITIES
Kansas leads the country in the number of cities under the commission form of government, with the initiative and referendum and recall, largely because the law was written in the University and the secretary of the Kansas Municipal League is at the head of the extension department of the University, and the University bureau of municipal research industriously spreads the propaganda for the commission form of government. The commission form of government is putting ward politics out of business as rapidly as the primary put state politicians out of business. But with the state under the convention system, a group of institutions of higher learning that were doing so much service work for the state would excite the envy of statesmen out of jobs, and the University and the Agricultural College would not be free, as they are today. The activity of these institutions of higher learning in the administrative work of the state is more than a substitute for the efficiency of cheap politicians. This activity is the answer of a democracy to the charge that a self-gov-
erning people cannot do the expert work required of a highly organized society without the interposition of a leisure governing chain to direct the activities and to choose the ex perts needed for the higher branches of social service.
In the past the American outdoor athlete hibernated during the winter months, says Harper's Weekly. The youth of today, however, has no such complaint to make, for he has adopted the swift and picturequeues hockey of Canada. Today hockey has superseded every other form or winter sport of the type of man-to-man contact play. It flouishes in the leading universities and colleges of the East and tours of Canadian sevens are constantly increasing.

Professor Bushong Says Fels Company Finds System Successful.
Prof. F. A. Bushong, associate professor in Industrial Research, has returned from his trip to Philadelphia where he was called by the Fel's Company under whom he holds a fellowship in research for the utilization of petroleum in soap making. The prime motive for the trip was to become acquainted with the factory and management.
"The thing that impressed me most," said Dr. Bushong "was the exceptional business methods employed by the company. The firm is run on the profit sharing system and the employees know how to work the firm rather than as mere laborers. The spirit shown by everyone is most pleasing."

SLUFFED A GAME TO THE KANSAS AGGIES
Stuckey's Stars Lost to the Manhattan Grangers
33 to 28
Bv Staff Correspondent.
In a fierce basket battle the Jay- hawkers were defeated by the Aggies at Manhattan last night. The score was 33 to 28.
In the second half the Kansas men worked well and scored point for point with the locals but could not overcome the lead held by the Agies. A rebound in Calhoun's California last minute of play made the game certain for the Agies.
The Kansas team started the game in a slow fashion and did not wake till the middle of the first half when the Farmer lads had a good lead. Hard work and perseverance led to KU team within two points of their opponents at the close of the period.
Stuckey played the best game for Kansas. Brown was so well covered by Whiple that he was unable to do his accustomed service in making field goals but made six free throws for his team. McCallum and Whipple were the particular stars of the Aggie Aggregation.

K. U. STAR AT ILLINOIS
"Butch" Cowell Making Good in His First Year Athletics
"Butch" Cowell who was a star preformer on the 1910 Kansas football team is making good with a will at Illinois University this year.
Cowell played a tackle on the Freshman-Varsity team there this year. This team is composed of men who have earned their athletic letters in other schools, but who are spending their first year at Illinois and are therefore not eligible for the varsity there. Cowell was one of the five men who were chosen from a squad of 27 to receive a letter this year. This recognition points to Cowell as a strong candidate for a Varsity position next fall.
After the close of the football season Cowell went in for swimming and made the Freshman-Varsity water polo team. While members of this team are not eligible to compete in conference contests the freshman eligibility rule is suspended in meets with the aquatic representatives of the Amateur Athletic Union.
In the contests with the Athletic Club and in that with the Missouri Athletic Club of St. Louis, Cowell has replaced one of the regular members of the Illinois team. In all probability this means a place or the squad next year.

PETITION FOR THE WOODBURYS' RETURN
Track Squad Requests With drawal of Parental Objection.
Realizing that the presence of Charles and Harold Woodbury on the Kansas track team this year will decide whether or not the team will be successful in defeating the other schools in the valley, the track men have signed a petition to Mr. Woodbury, the father of the Kansas City athletes that he allow them to reenter athletic.
Since the Woodburys announced that they would not compete for Kansas this spring on account of parental objection, there has been a lack of interest over the track work and there have been misgivings felt by Coach Hamilton and the members of the squad over the prospects.
Without Tod and Buzz, the pole vault and the hurdles, which had been practically ceded to the Jay were to be the weakest points of the team.
On the other hand should Mr. Woodbury consent to the petition and allow his sons to run for Kansas, track prospects will be as bright at as any time in the history of the school. In contrast with previous years the Jayhawks are showing up strong this year in the distractions.
DR.WM KUHN TALKED ON MEDICAL PROFESSION
Says More Opportunity for Doing Good is Offered Than in Any Other Occupation.
"The Appeal of the Medical Profession" was the subject of the talk before the Y. M. C. A. last night by Dr. William F. Kuhn of Kansas City. "The Medical profession," said the doctor, "offers a man better opportunity to be a success in this world than does any other occupation, if you mean by success the amount of good one can do. The man must be physically morally, and mentally equipped and then the victory is his."
"The profession," Dr. Kuhn continued, "has made rapid advances in the last fifteen years. The man who enters the profession now must have college training. A direct result of this is that many graduates out of school only five years are leaders, and those who became doctors before a thorough education was demanded must take the background."

Freshman Track Stars Commence Work for Handicap
Meet.
"Scully" Waugh, president of the freshman class has issued a call for freshmen track men to start work for the handicap meet to be held March 18.
In the first year class are several men who have won distinction in the track athletics of other schools and the outlook is very promising for the team of 1915.
Among the freshmen who promise to shine on the path are "Herbic" Coleman, in the weights, "Dutch" Martin and John Hamilton in the dashes and hurdles and Leonard Hurst in the pole vault. Hurst is an especially valuable man in his event, going over the bar at over eleven feet at the present time.
The meet will give an excellent opportunity for the 1915 men to get in line for varsity track next year and will also be a great aid to the 1913 team in preparing for their season.

OREGON AND MAINE USE KANSAS AIR
But It's the Liquid Kind That Is Made at the University
ONLY PLANT WEST OF NIAGARA
The Kansas Product Has Been Shown in Practically Every Important City in the U. S.
A year or two ago a student from the chemistry department of the Kansas was visiting in Boston where he met students from the University of Maine and other eastern colleges. The Jayhawker was forced to endure the jeers and sar castic remarks of the eastern college men who insisted that western educational institutions could not possibly be civilized.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 4, 1912.
Why, Indiana were still running around out there in the west—they would say. How could any one be expected to study when he was forced to watch for the redskins, tomahawk and keep one finger on his six shooter all the time?
And so, the western man was advised to come east and get an education in a decent university where he could study. In a community of long standing.
One on the Easterners Though
On the same afternoon all the students attended a lecture on "Liquid Air." At the close of the lecture, the professor who had performed the experiment was asked to send cold water where the material he had used for his lecture had been prepared.
To the astonishment of the easterners, the professor acknowledged the University of Kansas as the place where his liquid air was made
"Kansas University can boast," says Prof. H. P. Cady, head of the chemical laboratories, "of having the only liquid air plant west of Niagara Falls that liquifies air for commercial purposes. While several schools have air machines, they are simply adjuncts of the Physics laboratory and no attempt is made to sell the product.
Air Sells Like Hot-Cakes
"The plant here is run almost continuously and quantities of the liquid air is turned out, but no effort is needed to dispose of all of it. Most of the product goes to a company of lecturers at the head of which is Wm. B. Pattley. Last year, numerous shipments were made to Texas, New Mexico, and several other Southern states. This year Patty is in the West. Last week air was sent to him at Spokane and this week a flash goes to Seattle."
"For shipment the liquid air is put into vacuum jacketed bottles holding ten pounds each. Because of the carelessness of the expressman, a student is sent to Kansar City with each flask and his duty it to see that it is put on a through car for its destination.
MENTION IN THE KANSAN
"The air is sold for $1 a pound and, together with the express and other expenses, the ultimate cost it about $5 a pound. Shipments have been made from here as far east as Cameron Springs, Pa., as far west" as the coast, north to the Canadian border and south to the Gulf, while the product of the Kansas laboratory has been shown in practically every city of importance in the United States."
BRINGS NOTICE FROM AFKR
The "Daily Kansan" continues to be read widely throughout the country.
A copy of the issue containing the write-up of the play, "Billy", which the Thespian Dramatic club staged a few weeks ago, fell into the hands of Stuart A. Hanks, manager of the club at Roarok College, Salem, Va.
BRINGS NOTICE FROM AFAR
Mr. Hanks wrote to the Thespian Club asking for information concerning the play, and where he could obtain the script. He stated that the club had been looking for some such play for some time, and that the success of "Billy" here, warranted their considering it. They intend to produce the play some time in April.
Y. W. C. A. WOMEN TEACH
BIBLE CLASSES AT HASKELL
One Hundred and Twenty-Five Girls Enrolled in Scriptural Study at Indian School.
The Indian girls in Haskell institute are becoming greatly interested in the Young Women's Christian Association through the influence of the young women of the State University who are much given to taking up some useful outside activity in connection with their regular school work.
In the Bible classes at Haskell are enrolled 125 Indian girls from six to nineteen years of age. There are many girls taught by girls from the University.
In connection with the regular Bible study, two University rinks have organized classes in gymnasium work. The drills and other forms of exercise appeal strongly to the interest of the Indian maidens.
IT "MUST COME TO DUST"
IN THIS NEW MACHINE
Grinder in Chemistry Building Makes Little Ones Out of Big Ones by Ancient Method.
A new grinding machine has just been installed by the industrial research department, in the west end of the chemistry building.
This machine employs the pebble grinding method, which is one of the oldest methods known. The flint stones, or pebbles, are placed in a porcelain jar with the material that is to be ground. The jar is the base of the machine and the main which revolves at about 50 revolutions per minute.
The new machine has four times the capacity of the old one which was too small to meet the demands of the department.
CLASSIFIED THE PEN WITH THE UNIVERSITY
Professor Blackmar Said Functions of Both Institutions Are Identical

"The state institutions at Lansing and on Mt. Oread," Professor Blackmar said, "have the same function. The University receives the young men and women who come to her doors, and tries to give them a training that will fit them for better citizenship on the future." A constitutary has the same end in view."
According to Professor Blackmar, the chief distinction between the freshman who climbs Mount Oread for the first time, and the criminal who dons a striped suit in the confines of a cell, is that the former's action is voluntary. The work of the University is mainly constructive; the penitentiary must give a great deal of attention to preventive measures, which will correct, or at least suppress the criminal tendencies of its "students."
"If the two institutions are so much alike, the same methods may be used in each," Professor Blackmar continued. "At the University we sometimes make a student spend five or six years on the ordinary four-year course, demanding that he reach a fixed standard of efficiency before he is eligible for admission. He should be adopted at Lansing. The criminal should be held in the penitentiary only so long as it is necessary to make a law-binding citizen out of him."
Professor Blackmar did not have time to take up the topic advertised, "Recreation and Amusements," and will therefore discuss this in his lecture next Sunday in Myers hall.

MASQUE MAY STAGE "THEFORTUNEHUNTER"
Management Is Attempting to Secure Successful Comedy of College Life
The management of the Masque dramatic club is in communication with the American Play company to purchase the rights to present "The Fortune Hunter," a four act comedy at the University the latter part of April. Manager Charles Younggreen sent several telegrams to the play committee to make a definite announcement concerning the Masque play in a few days.
Should the Masque secure the rights to present "The Fortune Hunter" it will be the first time it has been played by other than the highest grade professional companies. It had a record run of two years in New York, and a year in Chicago, where he appeared on the roars of Hamilton, of New York, a former student of the University, created one of the two male leads.
The club is especially anxious to obtain the play as the story is of two college men, and their varied success after leaving school. Much of the fame of the play has been due to the drug store scene which is one of the most expensive and elaborate scenes in any of the present day plays.
The Masque club will hold its tryout for parts in the play Thursday night in Room 101 Fraser hall. “The Fortune Hunter” requires a cast of twenty members. Miss Gertrude Mossler will direct the production.

"I understand that a group of University girls are petitioning either Delta Delta Delta or Alpha Phi. However, I have never had any official notice of such a petition being presented but at the regular meeting of the Pan-Hellenic this afternoon the matter will be discussed."
This was the answer Bertha Dack, president of the women's Fan-Hellenic gave to the question asked her this morning whether or not she had been informed of the petition said to have been presented to a national sorority. A persistent rumor on the hill this month at 1400 Tennessee street were the petitioners but they disclaim all knowledge of the matter.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
He that by the plow would thrive himself must either hold or drive.
SENIOR MEMORIAL
It is the boast of every senior class that it is the best, absolutely and without a doubt, that was ever graduated from the University and they attempt to prove their superiority over former classes by citing the astonishing records made by each and every member while in college. They base their claims to immortality on what the class has done in the past and on what it will do in the future.
But so far as one can observe, the classes that are yearly ground out from the University educational mill yield no material benefits to their Alma Mater, and by material is meant something tangible and possessing substance. Only a few seniors have ever agreed to make a parting gift to the old school that has harbored them during the years spent in quest of knowledge.
In almost every college and university in the East it is the custom and tradition that every graduating class make some present to the university that shall recommend that class to future students. A stained glass window, an arch, a bronze tablet, a statue; these are some of the forms in which seniors commemorate their class.
Why should not the present senior class take some steps towards starting a memorial fund, the money to be used to buy some gift for the University? A small tax on every student would secure something that would beautify the campus and at the same time would be setting a mark for future graduating classes to follow.
Probably the class at the University of Oregon which is soon to take up the study of "Birds—their peculiar whims and habits," will be able to inform the world why snipes are most easily captured at night in a spooky wood with a gummy sack.
MORAL GRAPES
Why, oh why are the "hill" politicians so neglectful of the gouder opportunity to be elected to something. There has been a vacancy on the Men's Student Council for several weeks and the job is actually begging begged. This condition of affairs is hard to explain. In former times it was not so. No cluster of the vinous fruit was ever neglected thusly. The day after the job was deserted, public servants were lined up at the curb, with petitions begging that the herein named be duly declared the successor of the unfortunate removed. There must be a reason somewhere.
Can it be that the fame of the grapeless jobs on Mount Oread has deterred and disheartened our entire race of office-seekers? The management of the Annual was stripped of its shekels. And now the stewardship of the Glee club yields not a denarius to its incumbent. The position of job-holder has come to mean more and more a moneyless honor. Have the pecuniary returns of a few of the student offices been the lodge stone which has drawn every embryo politician to office even as "cases" attract Jayhawker photographers?
If this newspaper by chronicling
the fall of the plums as each one dropped, has led prospective office-seekers to think that public service in our miniature republic was wholly without reward, we wish to correct the impression.
The payment is not in cash, or, as the old-fashioned preacher says, in worldly goods, but it comes from within; in the consciousness of duty well performed, or from without, in the respect and approbation of right thinking students.
Is there any alliance between the department of home economics, whose object is the training of good housewives, and a University play which has as its "object—matrimony?"
This should be sufficient inducement for the right man to come forward and announce himself a candidate for election.
The new ventilating system in the Museum may be entirely satisfactory so far as the medical students are concerned, but it is rumored that symptoms of a bronchitis epidemic are developing on the first floor among the polar bears, who have not had fresh air before in nine years.
HIS THREE STAGES.
Undergraduate philosophy of life is an evolution. It consists of three stages, says a writer in the Century. The first is characterized by a sense of calamity or fear as the student leaves behind the observations and conventional creeds of childhood held with unquestioning and often unthinking assent. He begins to think for himself. He enters an atmosphere of questioning and scientific discovery, an environment in which facts come before opinions. His first alarm is because he thinks he is losing his religion. He says, like the prophet, Micah, when the hostile Danites took away his images, “Ye have taken away my gods * * * what have I more?”
His next step is often toward overliability. His god is breadth of mind. He revels in his impartial view of men and the universe. By turns he calls himself a pantheist, a pragmatist or anagnostic. His religious position is at times summed up in the description of a young college curate by a bishop who said the young man araneus in his pulvinar ad sacerdum battles favor of funeced wisdom, saying to his expectant hearers: "Dearly beloved, you must repent—as it were, and be converted—in a measure, or be damned—to a certain extent!"
The third stage of the undergraduate is usually in line with constructive action. He begins to be interested in doing something, and practice for him, as for men generally, helps to solve the riddle of the universe. The best test of college theology or college philosophy is its service-ableness, its power to attach the student to something which needs to be done and which he can do.

WELL, little one," said a Tree to a Reed that was growing at its foot, "why do you not plant your feet deeply in the ground, and raise your head boldly in the air as I do?"
"Safe!" sneered the Tree, "Who shall pluck me up by the roos or bow my head to the ground?" But it soon hurried across, and hurricane arose which tore it up from its roots, and cast it a useless log on the ground, while the little Reed, in front of the wind, soon stood upright again when the storm had passed over.

HERE'S A BRICKBAT
STUDENT OPINION
The editor is not responsible for the clues expressed here. Communications must be signed as an evidence of good faith,
To the Daily Kansan:—
In a recent Daily Kansan I notice an article taken from the daily at the University of Nebraska which ends in the following manner: "He was captain of the 1911 football team and a member of Delta Chi fraternity." It is seldom that one sees a fraternity mentioned in the Kansan, except in connection with their own social events. Why is this? It is certainly not that the fraternity men do not get into school activities, although one would get that impression from reading the Daily Kansan, for I know of a number of frat men in several different lines of work.
Although I am not a frat man myself I like to know who is who on the "hill" and if the captain of the basket-ball team belongs to a fraternity I like to know it. There are always a number of men of the same name in school and the mention of a fraternity serves to place the one mentioned in the minds of the students. The fact that the fraternities are not mentioned seems to show either that those in control of the paper are jealous or that the fraternities are not recognized as institutions in the University. It certainly can not be the latter for the frats are always called upon to support every movement in student enterprise and I understand that the Pan-Hellenic made possible the Daily Kansan by having every frat man in school subscribe. Why not come out and print all the news as is done by other papers?

UNIVERSITY SOCIAL LIFE
AN OLD GRAD.
Is the social life of our University fairly balanced? There are class parties galore, the Fraternity parties, the Junior Prom, the Senior Smoker, the Medical Smoker, etc.; but is there a place in our University social life for the non-dancer or non-smoker? It is true the Christian organizations offer such an opportunity, but in the class and University functions the non-dancer or non-smoker is not provided for. Is it fair, I ask, to so limit the social life of our University that many of the students of highest character and scholarship are excluded because of their personal convictions? Is not this a serious question us? If our University is training for life and many students of unquestioned good sense and character are barred from the social side of University life because the latter is limited to two debatable forms of amusements, (and is this not undoubtedly the case?) how can we honestly ask the people of the state for their undivided support? Can we herald our University as a place where any student may receive a well rounded education, and provide no social opportunity for the student who honestly believes dancing to be wrong?
Is it enough to answer dogmatically that such students are narrow? Why are they narrow, who only ask for a place in social, as well as in class work, and we broad, who insist that all students either conform to our notions of amusements, even at the expense of their conviction of right and wrong, or else forego their die share of this phase of University life? Even if they were narrow, would not be the greatest reason for including them in the social life, so that they might become more broad-minded? We are willing to sacrifice class unity in order that the chairman of the party committee may not lose money, so that at, say, a Senior party only a third or possibly a half of those present are Seniors.
NO RICH PRESIDENTS
Why not, on the other hand, give a party restricted to members of the class, a party to which each member could come without sacrificing any of his or her principles of right living? Such parties are held at other institutions as large and influential as our own, and the feeling of class unity and of college loyalty engaged by that system is amazing to one who remembers our frantic effort to develop a little class spirit last winter.
It is a great pity to have the Lincoln anniversary misused by unfounded contrasts between his time and ours, charges of the political decadence of the people and absurd exaggerations of the present influence of wealth. The statement that "we would in all likelihood regard it as a

-WASHINGTON IRVING.
reflection on our nation to select for our President a man as poor as Lincoln was" is wholly without excuse. Lawyers' fees were smaller than then now, but so were most other forms of compensation. Mr. Lincoln was a successful lawyer, engaged in some large cases, and he was no pauper even if it may have been convenient for him to borrow some ready money at the time of his inauguration.
Mr. Taft was born to a competence, but not a great fortune. His wife is understood to have had some fortune, but he practised his profession until he went on the bench, since which time he has generally been in receipt of an official salary.
Mr. Roosevelt is nearly if not quite the only President who never earned his own living. He was born to something better than a competence, and he has never practised a profession or carried on business. He has written a good deal, and probably made some money by his books. He has also held office, but on moderate salaries until elected governor of New York.
Mr. McKinley had very little except his congressional salary until elected President. Mr. Harrison was long at the head of the Indiana bar, but when he died his estate was little more than $100,000, and probably a good deal of this was acquired after he retired from the presidency, when some valuable cases came to him, as they are apt to come to a lawyer who has been conspicuous in public life. For example, it is said that Governor Black of New York has made a million dollars out of his profession since he retired from office.
Mr. Cleveland was a lawyer in moderate practice, and needed the salary which was paid to him for several years as a trustee of the Equitable company. His wife had a moderate fortune, but he did not marry until after his inauguration. Mr Hayes inherited a large fortune but not until after he became President. General Grant didn't have a cent except his salary and his presents.
Unquestionably the possession of a great fortune would be regarded today as disqualifying a man for the presidential nomination, though he might be nominated for Vice President with the expectation, cynically expressed by Senator Ingalls, that he would pay a large part of the campaign expenses.
Nor is it true that Mr. Lincoln was elected by the people in any sense different from that in which a President will be elected by the people this year. It is grotesquely untrue that "then the people governed themselves; now we are largely ruled, often dictated to," except in so far as present-day issues fail to interest the people enough to arouse them to action. The republic has not changed; the people are not the victims of an oligarchy or plutocracy or anything except their own indifference. When the issues were slavery and the integrity of the nation people felt intensely and acted energetically. The tariff and conservation and corporations do not move the people as the issues of fifty or sixty years ago did, and they are too apt to leave matters to the professional politicians. But there were plenty of those in Lincoln's time, and some of them were no better than those that we have to deal with—Philadelphia Record.

"But the transformation of a country's land system from a feudal basis, which it is on at present, to a system of small individual ownerships, can not be made in a few weeks or months. The ignorant masses of the people labored under about the same delusion regarding the recent revolution as prevailed among our slaves in the civil war, who believed the government would give every man forty acres and a mule. Diaz was done — did he. Made was seen why the poor man wants see why his mule and forty acres are not forthcoming at once. This gives ambitious politicians the opportunity to stir up trouble which may further their personal schemes in politics."
"I believe the Madero government is honestly trying to carry out its campaign promises," said the Dean to a reporter for the Daily Kansan, today. "Provisions have been made to divide the land still in the government's hands into small holdings, and a large sum has been appropriated over the estate of the large estates with a view of dividing them up into smaller ownerships and thus give the man of small means a chance to own property.
Conditions in Mexico just now are puzzling to most Americans. After rallying round the banner of Madero to unseat the hated Diaz, at least a part of the population now seems as anxious to dispose Madero as they were to put Diaz out of office. Dean Olin Templin of the College, who recently spent a vacation in Mexico thinks the present uprisings are caused by the failure of the people to comprehend the magnitude of the work which the Maderista government finds on its hands in straightening out the economic situation of the country.
Dean Templin believes it would be unfortunate for Mexico should the Madero government fail to weather the storms that are being raised against it. Time to carry out the actions that must be taken is the great need for the country now, he says.
"The Mexicans are a hospitable, kind, but withal impulsive people," he said. "If you can keep a Mexican from doing something on the spur of the moment, he is not likely to do harm. Moreover, they are patriotic to the core, and regard this country's troubles as a matter to be settled by Mexicans alone.

New York University Men Have Borrowed More Than $20,000
A large number of students who otherwise would never receive the benefits of a college education are enabled to go to New York University through the generosity of persons who have established loan funds of various amounts and through the leniency of the college authorities who take their notes for tuition. The system of lending money to needy students—at five per cent—is of twenty-four years standing at the university.
This year one hundred and sixty-
three men and women have borrowed
approximately $20,000. In addi-

The girls of the Fine Arts department are anxiously awaiting the time when the University will be rich enough to afford them equipment that they want. (In Fowler Shops.)
Until year before last, women were doing work in the Shops, but on account of the great increase in the number of men taking shop, the instructors became so busy that they were forced to discontinue the classes for girls.
"A special instructor for girls was to be hired last year," said Prof F. E. Ward this morning. Then, when our budget was operated on, we were unable to secure an instructor on account of a lack of funds."
The women' work did not consist of hammering scrap iron, but was confined to making the vases that were used by the Fine Arts department,

It does make possible an education for many needy and generally diligent students, but there can be no question that the man who leaves college with five or six hundred dollars finds him in a very heavy, grevy barten

If he happens to be one of those average students whom Dr. Hibben describes as earning six dollars a week upon graduation his troubles are especially embarrassing. A good many self-supporting college graduates will readily admit that they had a hard time making both ends meet during their first five years of working life, and they dislike very much to think what would have happened to them if they had been forced to pay off in that time a debt that they had incurred during their college days.

CLASS PRESIDENTS OF MICHIGAN FORM CLUB
Left to right-Marion Johnson, Gaylord Phipps, Henry Pegues
Past and present presidents of all the campus classes of the University of Michigan, met recently and formed an organization whose aim is to be the betterment of campus conditions and the unification of the various departments. Much enthusiasm were exhibited by the older men, who felt that such a club would fill a long-felt want, and would be able to act in unison with such bodies as the Student Council, to a common end.
"The attitude of most Kansas women is absolutely indifferent in regard to the suffrage issue," said Dr. Helen Brewster Owen, speaking before the Women's Equal Suffrage League of the University, in Myers hall last Friday. "Most women express themselves as fully confident that afterward they will be willing to privilege with men," she continued, "and place implicit faith in their husbands and brothers to get it for them."

The age of invention has taken all this work out of her hands given it to the factories and placed men in charge, and yet," she declared, "you deny that woman has any right to make laws saying what her children shall eat, what her children shall wear or how they shall be educated, under present social conditions she can only do through the ballot."

GAVE "ROCK CHALK"
FIRST TIME IN 1888
Professor Bailey and Science Club "It" Invented the Famous Yell
YELL WAS SHORT AND SHART
The Long, Undulating Roar a Development Since 1905—Compounded of Geology.
"Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk! K! U!" This good old yell which has been the battle cry of the Jayhawkers almost since the founding of the School is the best known tradition of the University. It is not only the most famous college yell in the Mail but it's fame has spread to the East, and with the "I yell, you yell, all yell, Cornell" is considered the strongest of all college yells.
"Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U." was originated by the science club "It" in 1888. Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, of the department of chemistry, suggested its first form. The "It" took monthly tramps over the hills collecting specimens for the zoology and geology classes. It was on one of these trips, while searching for vocal amusement, that the yell was originated.
It was first given as Rock Rock Jay Hawk K. U. Professor Bailey who then taught mineralogy proposed the Rock, Rock, in the same spirit that the Engineers talk about "Round Ellipsoids, Pholate Spheres." Jay Hawk was the title that Missouri rave to every loval Kan斯.
Although Rock Rock was intended as a yell for the "It" only, its euphony was so catchy that the whole school immediately took it up. Within two years, it was changed from Rock, Rock, to Rock Chalk and the wording became the same as it at present. It was given in a different manner then from the present style. There was no set form of two long drawn out Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U's and three short ones as at present, but it was given continuously, varying in speed as the excitement became more or less intense. The final U was never given with the falling accent as at present, but always ended short and adrupt. In 1905 the yell was given as at present with its two "longs," three "shorts," and drawing final U.
Rock Chalk was first given in publi-
l in 1888, at the annual reunion
hold between terms by the science
club "It." The reunion was held in
Snow hall in what is now the botanical
recitation room and W. S.
Franklin, professor at Leighhe University,
then an instructor in the department of Physics here, acted as cheer leader and led the students in the first real "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U."

PLAY OFF M. V. TITLE
Three Plans for playing Off Nebraska-Kansas Games Under Discussion
LIKELY DATES MARCH 11-1
Jayhawkers Feel Confident of Carrying Off Valley Championship Even in Face of Defeat
Face of Defeat.
While the University of Kansas team was defeated in both games with the Cornhuskers last Friday and Saturday nights, they do not feel discouraged as to their chances for winning the championship. The large score run up against them Friday night was due largely to the rough playing and the non-conformance to the conference rules. Stiefhm men played basket ball against them on Saturday when the open rules governing the conference playing were too gentle for the Kansas lads to fairly compete with their husky opponents.
Arrangements are now being made between the basket ball authorities of Nebraska and Kansas whereby the championship games to decide the title of the Missouri Valley may be played off on courts and at a time convenient to both teams. Coach Hamilton will return from Kansas City today where he is conferring with the Convention Hall managers in relation to obtaining the hall for the games. While definite dates have not yet been set it is probably that the games will be played the 11, 12 and 13 of March.
Three plans are now being discussed as to the courts upon which the contests will take place. All three games may be played in Kansas City, or one game may be played at Lincoln, one at Lawrence and one at Kansas City or one game may be played at Lincoln one at Lawrence and one at Manhattan. It is probably that the last plan will be followed.
The Sigma Chi fraternity entained at dinner the Chi Omég sorority Sunday.
Saturday night the Nebraska substitutes, entered in the first half, did not lead off with the rough playing of the night before and Hamilton's men showed what they could do on equal terms with the Nebraska quintet. Arrangements are being made to have the championship games played strictly under conference rulings and Captain Bradley said that they will give Nebraska a hard run if they hope to carry off the Valley colors. Definite notice as to the time and place of the championship games will be given tomorrow.

Cornhuskers Put Two Defeats Over the Travelling Jay-
hawkers
SCORE WAS 49 TO 21 AND 29 TO 28
Nebraska's System Mystified the Kan sans the First Night But the Jayhawkers Came Back.
Hamilton's Jayhawkers lost two games to the Cornhuskers at Lincoln last week. The first battle was hardly a defeat. It was more nearly a disaster. The second contest, though not a victory may be put in the creditable performance class.
The Kansas men encountered a style of play that they had not met with, save when Nebraska played here early in the season. But at that previous date the system was in its infancy. Last week it was full grown and the Kansans tried valyah to conquer it
Said system was a series of body blocks. Every time a Kansan attempted to move he found a husky Husker or two in his way and the result was that the Jayhawker remained stationary when he should have been on the hop. It was a hard matter to score without moving and so old system won.
But in the second game the travellers had developed a counter plan and by much wiggling, writting and twisting they were fairly even with their Hon. Opponents.
Friday Night's Game
the baskets. The superior weight of the Huskers and the fact that the invaders had no defense planned for this sort of play enabled the northerners to run away.
The first nights game was a walk away for the Huskers. From the time that Carrier shot the first basket till the end of the game it was all Nebraska. The final score was 49 to 21 and that just tells the story.
The Kansas men played the better game in the first half. In the second heycome on the count discouraged the team, and the running in two minutes of play.
Stuckley played the game for the Kansas men. Brown did well on free throws. Hanzlik and Carriers were the Nebraska stars.

Saturday Night's Game.
The Cornhuskers full strength appeared at the beginning of the second period and proceeded to rough it. Henzilikil and Hiltner were ruled out for personal fouls in less than fifteen minutes. In spite the Husker style of play the Jayhawkers played them even and lost by only one point.
Hassall led in the scoring for Nebraska with Captain Frank a close second. For Kansas Brown and Stueck were the stars. Redy five goals from the field and eight free throws scored the majority of his teams points.

* Faculty Rule University And
Stop College Independence
An interesting comparison between American and English university chancellors was made in chapel this morning by Prof. A. S Olin while speaking of the present chancellor of Oxford University Lord Curzon.
"English chancellors have no legislatures or boards of regents with which to discuss finances or matters of policy, in fact the office is purely honorary and the chancellor is not even expected to take part in the University administration. For these reasons Lord Curzon's at tempts at reform have created much discussion in educational circles."
Professor Olin said that threatened legislation of Parliament with the object of increasing the usefulness of Oxford, started Curzon's reforms.
"At the present time, Oxford alumni with A. M. degrees have more to do with the administration of the University than the faculty Lord Curzon would change this system and also make the several colleges at Oxford less independent of the central University.
"Another measure which this chancellor advocates in granting degrees to women, something which has never been done at Oxford," said the speaker, "but like a true Briton he does not advocate extending the usual political privileges to this class of students."
Professor Olin concluded by stating that the Oxford priority in English educational matters was being threatened by newer institutions and that some advancement must be made, either from without the University itself, or by the English Parliament.

Returns From Washington Where Horticultural Interests Are Involved
Prof. S. J. Hunter of the entomology department of the University returned yesterday from Washington, D.

Prof. Hunter was asked by this committee to hold a conference with on it a bill relating to interstate and foreign commerce in horticultural and agricultural products.
The Bell Telephone company is still in possession of a valuable "trouble man" only through the generosity of a courageous maiden
The bill as finally drawn up by the committee provides for the regulation of the importation of nursery stock and other plants and plant products. To enable the secretary of agriculture to establish and maintain quarantine districts for plant disease and insect pests; to permit and regulate the movement of fruits plants and vegetables, and many other minor regulations.
The plan proposed by Professor Hunter for the administration of the bill, to have the work placed in the hands of an administrative board was adopted and incorporated in the bill.
This is the second time Professor Hunter has been asked to confer with this committee, and is one of the many ways the helps state and nation along scientific lines.
JUNIOR FARCE SELECTED
"The Beauty Machine" is the name of the play which has been selected for the junior play this year.
H. W. Champion, manager of this year's force is writing the music. He will announce the date for try-outs the latter part of this week.
His appearance showed that he was a bandit—the kind you read about in dime novels.
Imagine the horror which crept over a timid girl mannigirl when she entered her room the other morning and found a man's hat carelessly tossed upon her bed and a bandanna handkerchief decorating her study table! The quaking maiden was given an additional thrill by the sight of a masculine figure just outside on the fire escape.
Being alone in the house, the heroine straightway vacated the room, locked the door, armed 1-2-3.
Thereupon she did the only thing left to do. Flourishing her broom she demanded bravely:
"B-rrr bang! ! ! -! -!" (indicating noisy attempts to open the doo).
By this time the young woman was sufficiently excited to rush to the telephone.
"Wanted?"—Baanng! Bump !—

Prof. John Wesley Young, of the Mathematics department, has recently published a book which is being spoken of highly in the scientific world. The title of the volume is "Lectures on Fundamental Concepts of Algebra and Geometry." Prof. U. G. Mitchell has also added a clear and concise note on the growth of Algebraic Symbolism. The Science Magazine of February 23 speaks highly of Professor Young's work. In the summing up of its review it says: "In a democracy it is a duty of scholars to render scientific concepts intelligible to the public intelligence, and Professor Young's book is a valuable contribution to such high service."

By a staff correspondent.
Barstow, Cal., March 4—The Glee Club has given its last concert at Barstow, California and now for a few days they are preparing for a wee bit of a jolly good time without even so much as worrying as to whether or not the tails of their full dress coats will be wrinkled when they go to put them on, or if the knees of their white trousers will reveal a tell tale stain.
The trip has been a successful one in every respect and all the way the railroad men have treated the boys with all the grandness that is due this royal bunch from the best schoo' in the West and the small town on the Kaw. Each town tried to outdo the other places and the general treatment could not have been better. The boys are all singing praise to the Santa Fe.
In spite of the fact that the club was snow bound for four days it is not necessary to say that the boys had a good time. The club is expected to return Saturday evening.

By permission of Chancellor Strong, the parade on Engineers' day, March 29, will start immediately after chapel. This agreement was reached yesterday after a conference between the Chancellor and Martin K. Thomen, vice president of the Engineers.
Plans for the track meet on McCook field in the afternoon are being made, and the men are getting intshape for some fast events. The freshmen met yesterday to elect officers, and to arrange for entries in the meet from their class.
None of the challenges issued by the miners have been accepted formally yet, but the other department are quietly preparing to give the miners a hard battle for first place.

WHAT IS THE SECRET OF THE WHITE LATTICED BOX?
A little white box, standing all alone in the snow south of the chemistry building. What is it?
Probably a thousand students pass by every day. Do half of them know what this latticed box on its brick foundation is used for?
"Looks like a bird house," said a tall senior girl yesterday, "Maybe that's where they keep the 'birds of the campus' I saw something about the other day."
A professor (College) ventures the assertion that it was the home of the seismograph. "At least, it is connected in some manner with the Chemistry department," he added thoughtfully, as though seismo graphs and German flasks were nearly adapted to one another.
Freshmen venture the shrewdest guesses. Everything from a fire alarm to day quarters for the night
watchman's dog is suggested by these aspiring youths. Only last Monday, one was restrained from depositing therein his weekly letter home by being assured that the mail box was for the exclusive use of students in the School for Nurses.
And so the answers come. A psychological experiment station, a gas meter, fresh air apartments for tuberculosis bacteria in Snow Hall an entrance to an underground passage useable by inmates at Homburd of Freedom, and a laboratory for one of the industrial fellows.
Somebody may yet suggest that the machinery which runs, (or does not run) the Physics Clock is encased within the walls of this same white box.
But after all, what is it? Do you know?

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
**RING HARD SAYS**
If you would like your business done, go, if not, send.
A FEW WORDS
Many people who read a daily paper often have a curiosity to find out how the news is obtained, but there are only a few people who appreciate the work that the business staff must do in order that the publication may live.
News will not pay the printers on Saturday night; news will not pay the paper mill or the type foundry. It is incumbent upon the business side to furnish the nourishment that allows the paper to appear regularly.
It is with regret that we announce that Clark Wallace, business manager of the Kansan since March 1911, has completed his term of office and has turned over all the rights and hereditaments that go with the office to his successor Ike E. Lambert who for the past year has been the assistant business manager.
During his tenure of office Clark has been a faithful officer, a diligent worker, and a careful accountant of the Kansan's business. When the Daily Kansan was started his work was immensely increased but, largely through his efforts, a system of accounts has been established that will greatly decrease the work of his successors. The office of business manager of the University paper pays mighty little in money and demands more time than any one ought to take from his studies.
And while this little tribute is being paid, it might be well to say a few words of appreciation for some of the other fellows who have labored for the success of the Daily M. D. Baer has had a job that no envies. It is no child's play to classify and route 2600 subscribers and to see that these same subscribers get their paper with some degree of regularity.
And then there are those members of the报orial staff who have worn out much good shoe leather in a pursuit of elusive news Russell Clark, L. F. Meissner, George Edwards, John Madden, Robert Sellers, E. B. Hackney, William Ferguson, Stanley Pinkerton, James Houghton and Richard Gardner have done some good work that is appreciated. There are a number of others who are also faithful servants.

"Yes, I Know one of the Editors of the Kansan and I Can Get Your Stuff Printed Right On the Front Page."
WHAT'S THE ANSWER?
A well meant rebuke on the social life at the University was printed yesterday, but an analysis of the alleged defects pointed out leads one to believe that the writer of "University Social Life" is at fault in several of his assumptions and conclusions.
"There are class parties galore
the Fraternity parties, the Junior Prom, the Senior Smoker, the Medic Smoker; but is there a place in our University social life for the nondancers and the non-smokers? This is the question the Old Grad aks.
Class parties this year are financially not a success. Not one third of the parties have paid out; subscription parties by private individuals are rapidly supplanting them. We cannot direct our censure, then, on something that is now patronized by even a small majority of the student body.
Fraternity parties are strictly under private supervision and cannot be included in the general social life of the University.
The Junior Prom furnishes amusement for both "the non-dancers and the non-smokers." Beginning at six o'clock and continuing until almost nine o'clock, there is a farce presented by the Juniors, followed by a reception. Surely the "non-dancer and the non-smoker" find no offense in this part of the Prom even if they do object to a few hours of dancing that at least three hundred other juniors and seniors enjoy.
If an Old Grad has ever attended a Senior Smoker or a Medic Smoker he knows that a smoker is a misnomer; that the actual puffing of the dread weed and the actual consumption of Havana's best, form only an extremely small part of the evening's entertainment. Stunts speeches, and a general good time are important features that surely recommend a Smoker to every man whether he smokes or not.
But it is true that there is not the common feeling of fellowship that ought to exist among all the students. On this one point the Old Grad is standing on bed rock and his remarks bear investigation. Some form of regular entertainment ought to be provided that will appeal to every student whether he dances or smokes or considers debating the essence of all pleasure.
But what is that form of entertainment? That question has puzzled many students and thus far the results of their investigations have not proved flattering.
LITERATURE AND SLANG.
"Booze," as a word connected with taking strong waters, dates back two centuries, and in the spelling "bouze" may be found at even as remote date as 1300. "Fresh," in its signification of forward, comes from 1830. "Some pumpkins," popular slang in baucelie circles, is of ancient lineage. "Gab" has been slang for a century, "Stag," on the fence between slang and English, has survived generations. In the "Knickerbocker Magazine" of 1856 we find an author telling of a "party of old bricks who . . . are keeping up a small stag party at the end of the room." "Squelch" in the 17th century was in good use. Of two words in vogue to express drunkenness half a century ago, "tight" is much alive, while "whitttled" has been dropped. There are no fixed laws to gauge the life of slang or to predict its entrance into the language. Will "high-brow," for example, find its way into the mouths of grandchildren yet unborn, or will it take its place in the ranks of obsolete curiosities?—Collier's Weekly.
The editor of the University Kanan should take heed lest he yank up before the attorney general by order of the governor. He ran a story the day before that led toichtiging at Higgins at the Bar." The governor may want to know where that bar is.

WOLF found great difficulty in getting at the sheep owing to the vigilance of the shepherd and his dogs. But one day it found the skin of a sheep that had been on its own saddle, so it put it on over its own helm, set down among the sheep. The Lamb that belonged to the sheep, whose skin the Wolf was wearing, began to follow the Wolf in the Sheep's clothing; so, leading the Lamb a little apart, he soon made a meal off her, but some time he succeeded in deceiving the sheep, and enjoying hearty meals.

A DIAGNOSIS
It is becoming trite to refer to ourselves as a miniature society. But it is a useful conception. We might exist either as an inorganic mass or as a living, functioning organism. We have passed the former stage, and have risen very neat to the latter.
One might, by a little exercise o the imagination, impose upon the university community the biologia theory of the state. Without stoping to explain the analogy in detail the various campus organizations may be assigned in the socia body the attributes and functions of the cells of the physical body. Fundamentally they are much to be desired. They constitute the embryo of a larger and more intimate social life. By virtue of their protoplasm of social aspirations and habits we pass from lower to higher stages until the culmination in a single live, rational being. As yet this higher organism, the final stage, exists only in the ideal. The ideal is the realized Michigan Union. The analogy is not entirely fanciful The evolution of the final stage can be definitely pointed to by those who know the history of the Michigan Union since its origin.
What, now, shall we do with the cells of this social body after it has assumed its proper form, has acquired sufficient strength to stand on its own legs and sufficient maturity to live an independent, rational life? Some advise, "Destroy them." But in counselling thus they fail to discriminate between vital cells and parasitic germs. The former should be saved, the latter destroyed. The destructionists should first segregate the harmful germs—Michigan Daily
In Egypt, where the atmosphere is very clear, the green tints of the sunset light are peculiarly distinct. As the sun descends nearer and nearer to the horizon, and is intensely enlarged, its rays suddenly become for an instant of a brilliant green. Then a succession of green rays suffuse the sky well night to the zenith.
The same phenomenon occurs at sunrise, but less conspicuously Sometimes, at sunset, just as the last portion of the sun's disk vanishes, its color changes from green to blue; and so also after it has disappeared the sky near the horizon it green, while toward the zenith it is blue. The fact was of course observed by the ancient Egyptians and references thereto are found in their writings...Youths Companion.

FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
And in a corner of my house I have books—the miracle of all my possessions, more wonderful than the wishing-cap of the Arabian tales, for they transport me instantly, not only to the real world but to all times. By my books I can conjure up before me to a momentary existence many of the great and good men of past ages, and for my individual satisfaction they seem to act against it; the orators declare for me the historians recipe, the poets sing.
DR. ARNOLD.
several good comments on this condition:
“One often wonders why some students abandoned their college courses for apparently no valid reasons, and enter—or perhaps we should say try to enter—the business world. It is a fact well known that the freshman class is almost invariably larger than and other, and that, it as advances in its career through the university, its numbers gradually dwindle until perhaps as many as half the individuals of the class have disappeared in the maelstrom of outside life and are seen about the campus no longer. It is fully realized that most of the students who thus relinquish their college work do so because of their lack of motivation orally. But there are some each year—we know of several ourselves—who leave Columbia merely because they ‘are getting tired of the grind’ or for some reason of a very similar nature. The man who has not the ambition to ‘stick out’ his four or six years at college will very rarely have sufficient to prosper afterwards. If he cannot stand the strain at the university, how can he endure that of the far stern business life?“ “Common sense reveals the fact that when one has the means of procuring a college education and has started to get it, he should stick to it to the end. And so, all you who have ever thought, if only in your dreams, of forsaking the alma mater, stop, and remember that the struggle beyond is fiercer than any you may imagine. You have had lurking thoughts by indulging in some student activity if you have never done so, or by taking up a new one, without losing interest in the old, if you have. Everyone can find some work on the campus for which he is fitted. Find out what that work is—and then work. It will benefit the university, and it will benefit you.”

"Word comes to me that we there is uncertainly about the future of the Kansas Lawyer, the law students' publication. This periodical began its career while I was in the school and I have always felt a peculiar interest in it for that reason as well as because it has always been the only legal magazine in the state, if we exclude the local bulletins of the bar in the larger cities.
That the members of the law profession in active life doing actual work should be represented on the staff of the Law Journal, which is being organized here, is the opinion of Judge J. C. Ruppenthal, a graduate of the school of Law in 1895. He says the bar association should have its reporters in every city and the bench in each of its departments should be heard from. Judge Runenau suggests that the Law Journal can be successful and he asks us to follow the Daily Kansan:
"With nearly 1800 members of the bar in Kansas, together with a few hundred students in law schools, it ought to be possible to produce a law magazine of such size, range of contents, and professional interest, that it will be adequately supported by the bar of the state, together with the students and such others of broad tastes as may be interested.
"When one considers the difficulties to be met, it must be said that the Kansas Lawyer, during its existence was a very creditable production.

But I think a better periodical can be produced. To do this, the lawyers of the state need co-operate with the law students. While there should be a student's editorial board, it would be well to have the profession in active life also represented on the staff. The bar should have its reporters in every larger city. The bench in each of its departments, supreme, districts, probate, city and otherwise, should be heard from. Every lawyer should be free to contribute news, queries, and discussions of peculiar interest to the state and to the profession. It would be well if the practicing members, the bench, and officialdom each had a representative editor. Any little city of 1800 inhabitants not only has the local paper, but begins to aspire to having a daily. Why then should not 1800 lawyers, with no illiterates, no foreigners unfamiliar with English, no children be counted out of the total, be able to maintain a good magazine? "Those familiar with the work of the law department at the University know of the need of more instructors to take up work that must be neglected now, or imperfectly done. The law library has grown until it would be profitable for the state if它
were handled by a law librarian, a specialist who could be thereby of peculiar service to law students. Now, could not a versatile expert be found who could handle the law library work, assist in teaching certain lines in law, and after giving this service to the law magazine that would take rank with the law periodicals of Harvard, Michigan and other great schools?
"A law magazine was established at Topeka about 25 years ago. It was an excellent one, but suspended in two or three years for want for support But the times are more propitious now. A law publication will certainly be maintained in Kansas. If we do not have one, and a strong one, at Lawrence, there will one arise before long elsewhere, probably at the capital. In such event, a publication by students would always remain merely a students' paper of little interest beyond the campus. It may be before us just now to determine whether or nor the law department and its alumni all student who will not take kind of matter in such way as will exert an influence on legal thought of the state commensurate with the number of its alumni, their dispersion over the state, the general zeal, learning and ind

Sore Elbows, Skinned Knee and Sprained Wrists Betray Artists' Secrets
Clearwater High School, Mar. 3.—The girls have taken up wrestling. Bouts have been held in secret, but sore elbows, skinned knees and sprained wrists betrayed the artists. They wear sweaters and bloomers with tennis shoes. Many interesting houts have been pulled off. The iden appealed to the girls after they had witnessed professional engagements in the Clearwater town hall, where several have been exhibited lately.

Garnett High School, March 1. A letter from Leavenworth high school yesterday stated that Leavenworth would not participate in the interdistrict debates. This leaves Garnett looking for an opponent. Mr. Price of the University has been notified and he will arrange an opponent for Garnett. This may means a re-arrangement of the schedule altogether, as Ashland is so far from Garnett that it would be hard to match them.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
GRAPPLERS CHOSEN FOR A. A. U.MEET
Jayhawkers Will Be Represented in Four Weights Saturday Night
The grapplers except in the light weight who will represent the University of Kansas in the wrestling tournament of the Western Association of the Amateur Athletic Union to be held in the K. C. A. C. gymnasium Saturday night, March 9, have been chosen and will leave for Kansas City Saturday morning. The light weights have not yet been chosen and the decision of this class is hanging between two wrestlers who will meet on the mat tomorrow afternoon. The men who won out in the preliminaries and who will be sent to Kansas City are as follows: Heavy weight, Hemphill; welter weight, Early; middle weight, Roberts; light weight Humes or Smith The tryouts were held in the gymnasium this last week and the men were chosen from the best two out of three falls. All of the classes were fairly well represented in the tryouts and the men sent are representative in this line of sport.
While this is the first tournament of its kind to be held in Kansas City, Dr. J. A. Reilly, director of athletics at the K. C. A. C. club hopes to make it an annual event. That interest in wrestling has taken a big jump towards the front in all of the conference schools, is proven by the fact that three of the largest Missouri Valley schools will have men in this meet. Nebraska will send four or five men, Missouri at least two and Kansas four. The meet will be open only to amateurs and the amateur rules of the A. A. U. will be rigidly enforced. The athletic club will have eight or nine entries and probably that many more will be entered from other organizations in the city.
C. B. Root, director of the wrestling team, said this morning, "I believe that our team has as good a chance as any to win the tournament Saturday night. While the game of wrestling is comparatively new at the University of Kansas the men have taken to it with a great deal of interest and are capable of making a good showing against an amateur grapplers in the Missouri Valley. At this is the first event of the kind ever held it is probable that the men will not make as good a showing as they will in future years; but it will nevertheless be excellent training for the team and will give them some good pointers for next year."

COLLEGE BALLOONISTS
WILL HOLD AVIATION MEET
Extensive plans are being made by Yale, Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania, University of Virginia, Williams, Dartmouth, and Princeton for an intercollegiate balloon race, gliding contest and exhibition, to be held under the auspices of the Intercollegiate Aeronautical Association.
Eight Eastern Schools Will be Rep resented in Big Balloon Race— Start From Kansas City.
The Summer Session Catalogue, with full description of all courses, will appear about February 20.
The annual meeting of the Intercollegiate Aeronautical Association will be held in New York on April 12. The Association istected and other business transacted.
It has been decided to have the balloon race start in Kansas City, Mo., under the direction of the Kansas City Aero Club, which will furnish free gas and allow $100 in cash for every balloon entered in order to help defray expenses. Last year the race was won by the University of Pennsylvania against Williams and Dartmouth. This year it is expected there will be at least six and possibly a dozen balloons contesting. The date of the race will be some time in the latter part of June or the first of July, after commencement
TAKE TWO LOOKS BEFORE YOU DRINK
Student Reports Flies and Bugs in "Pure" Distilled
Water
Prof. H. Louis Jackson, head of the department of food analysis, is of the opinion that people are beginning to take an increased interest in the things they eat and drink "We receive samples of food much oftener than formerly". Professor Jackson said. "It means that the food adulterators now have the people to avoid as well as the inspectors.
A University student who has been buying distilled water from an up-town grocery store noticed that the large bottle often came to him unsealed but thought nothing of it until he received one which had a few bags and flies resting on the bottom. He reported the matter to Prof. Jackson and an afildevit has been made out against the distilling company. The case will be taken up by the State Board of Health at Topeka.
"It is a great encouragement to us in our work," said Professor Jackson, "to see that the people are beginning to take an interest in the law and its enforcement. People do not commonly understand the adulteration law as applying to food stuff that is dirty. When it is understood that dirty milk and tainted meats are covered by this law, we expect to have even more work to do. We want the people of Kansas to understand that there is a place where their food can be tested."
Y. W. C. A. IS FEARING
A DEFICIT OF $200
The report of the finance committee of the Y. W, C. A. shows that the Association is in danger of coming up at the end of the year with a deficit of two hundred dollars or more. The amount of the deficit only about $200 for the $400 counted on from the student members has been received from the 300 student members.
Only $800 Collected to Meet a Budge of $1,000. But Membership day Will Sweell the Amount.
It takes about $1,000 to keep up the various departments of the association, including social activities, missionary department and practical service work. The University Y. W. C. A. employs a regular student secretary, supports a campus government and centrifies toward the partial support of a University of Kansas girl working as Y. W. C. A. organizer in Calcutta, India.
The budget for the running expenses of the association is estimated at $1,000 a year. This money comes from several sources; this year the committee estimated $350 from the sustaining members, about $250 from the Alumni luncheon and last years May Fete, and $400 from student members. The shortage in this last named fund however is causing the trouble but the Finance Committee hopes to make up this deficit shortly, as an active campaign is already on foot to get all members to pay up their dues and pledges by March 6 when a membership day will be held at Myers hall.
Jayhawker's Success Lies in Playing in Conformance to Conference Rules
WILL NEBRASKA USE NEW "KANSAS DANCE" HER BLOCK SYSTEM? FEATURE OF KIRMESS
图示
"The outcome of th. Missouri Valley Basket-ball championship games between Kansas and Nebraska will depend to a large extent on how strictly the officials enforce the rules concerning Missouri Valley basket-ball," said Coach Hamilton this morning.
The rules referred to are those concerning whether the style of playing shall be the no-contact game in which the men are supposed to play the ball and not the man, or the present system used by Eastern teams, which is nothing less than modified football. At a meeting of the Missouri Valley officials last fall an agreement was made by all of the schools playing under Missouri Valley rules that the teams should play the no-contact game. This prohibits all holding, blocking with the hip or shoulder, running into a man or rough playing of any sort. If the presiding officials allow the "block system" of playing to be used in the championship games the Kansas basket-ball players will be greatly handicapped, while on the other hand Nebraska playing this style of basket-ball will suffer an equal handicap if the rules concerning the Missouri Valley style of playing are strictly enforced. It is a case of two teams playing an altogether different style of basketball either of which will be greatly handicapped playing the other style of game. Nebraska seems to be the one in the wrong as she is not keeping the agreement she made to play under the Missouri Valley rules.
The neutral court has not yet beer chosen on which to play the third game. As the authorities were not able to secure Convention Hall in Kansas City the game will either be played at Manhattan, Omaha, or on some other court in Kansas City Representatives from Kansas and Nebraska will meet at Kansas City Saturday and flip to see on which court the first game is to be played

Young American Won Cup in English High School Meet
O'Leary won first place in the high jump, broad jump, and the hundred yard dash, scoring 25 points which was 15 more than his nearest competitor. For these, he was given a loving cup, on which was engraved the events that he won and the records which he made.
Dorman O'Leary, son of Prof. R D. O'Leary of the department of English, attended Oxford high school last year and won the Junior cup The Junior cup is awarded to the boy who wins the most points in the annual track meet which is compulsory for all students of that school.
America's young athletes are as far superior to these European competitors as are the adult preformers The latest example of this was given last year by the performances of a Kansas high school boy in England.
The junior cup, which he was awarded, is to be kept one year and then passed on to next year's winner. When anyone scores a total of 50 points during their attendance at school, they are given a cup similar to the Junior cup, which they may keep.

A special feature of the Kirmess will be the Kansas Dance. The Queen of the Dances will be enthroned in the center of a huge sunflower. The dancers will circle about her to form a sunflower chain.
"The idea was suggested to us," said Miss Beulah Murphy, persistent of the Association, "by the daisy chain which is one of the most picture-que parts of the May-day festivities at one of the eastern colleges. But we want to make this Kansas dance 'typical of the Sunflower State.'"
The Queen of the Dances will be selected from the Senior class, and her attendants from each of the four classes.

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 6, 1912.
STUDENTS GRADUATE
EARLY ENOUGH NOW
Chancellor Strong Says Proposed Change at Chicago May Be in Name Only
SHORTEN ELEMENTARY WORK
Comments on a Recent Statement by president Judson That Men Should Get in Business Earlier
President Harry Pratt Juston of the University of Chicago announced this week plans for the reorganization of that institution so as to place men in business earlier than at present. He recommends that a college education be offered to students at the age of eighteen by cutting two years from the elementary school, one year from the high school course and inserting a junior college course of three years.
I received yesterday a copy of the report of the President of the University of Chicago but have not had time to look it over. I therefore know nothing about it except what appeared in the public press yesterday evening.
Chancellor Strong was asked this morning for his opinion of the proposed change and below will be found a statement from him.
From what I can learn, it is incorrect to suppose that two years would be cut from college work for the bachelor's degree. The cutting comes, under this plan, in the elementary and high school courses—two years from the elementary school and one from the high school. Of the three courses from the high school course one is added to the college course, making a junior college course of three years instead of two as is substantially the case in all universities at the present time.
NOT A REAL CHANGE.
The cutting of two years from the whole course from the beginning of the primary grade would bring graduation and the bachelor's degree at about twenty years of age instead of about twenty-two as at present. The whole course of study from the beginning would stand about as follows: six years elementary school, three years high school, three years junior college, two years senior college or university.
Above the college would still be an undergraduate course of two years corresponding to our junior and senior years, making the reorganization in that respect one in name rather than in substance, for in all American universities, practically, the real university work begins with the junior year. The student must therefore be granted, under the Chicago plan, at the end of the two year university course, or as we have it, at the end of the senior year.
EARLY GRADUATION NOW.
If the student began at six years of age he would finish his course at twenty. If he entered the medical school without taking graduate work he might get his medical degree at twenty-four, or he could take one year of extra hospital work and finish at twenty-five. If he entered the law school he would receive his law degree at twenty-three. If he entered the engineering school he would receive his engineering degree at twenty-four.
But it should be noticed that this is all based on the supposition that before entering the technical school the student takes his full college course and gets his college degree. As a matter of fact but few technical schools in the country require graduation from a college for entrance Therefore a student now may finish the eight years of the grammar grades, and four years of high school (making him eighteen years of age) then enter the Engineering School of the University of Kansas or Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University and get his engineering degree at twenty-two, three years younger than the Chicago plan contemplates.
He may enter the medical school at twenty (two years of college work is necessary for entrance) and receive his medical degree at twenty-four or including a year of hospital work, at twenty-five. He may enter the law school at eighteen and receive his law degree at twenty-one or as will be the case in 1919 when
one year of college work is required for entrance, at twenty-two.
A QUESTION OF EFFICIENCY
In general I have long believed from my experience as superintendent of schools that it is entirely feasible to reduce the time of the elementary school by one year. Whether it can be reduced by two years is a serious question. I think it is worth consideration whether time may not be saved in the high school course. I believe it to be an evil also to have the time of entering a profession put off much beyond twenty-five years, but to introduce men into a great profession like medicine, upon which the health and life of a community depend, at an immature age would be fully as great an evil as putting off the professional age.
REDUCE ELEMENTARY TRAINING
Again, a reorganization that contemplates the cutting down of the elementary or high school courses is fundamentally a question of efficiency. It is entirely impossible without increasing the efficiency of the public school system. This cannot be done without an increase in the efficiency of the teaching force and this in turn makes necessary the absolute exclusion of politics and personal considerations from the conduct of our school systems, makes necessary security in tenure of office and a salary high enough to give in dependence of living and assurance of competence in old age. It makes necessary still further, and perhaps most important, a large increase in the number of teachers in proportion to the number of students so that much greater individual attention may be given to students. This means an increase in the expenditures. Education is the most important consideration with which the public expenditure of money has to do, and a larger expenditure would be the most fundamental economy and an expenditure that makes necessary low efficiency is an enormous waste.
NOTED GEM EXPERT WILL SPEAK FRIDAY
Dr. George F. Kunz of Tiffiany's Will Give an Illustrated Lecture
"For the first time in twenty years," stated P. Erasmus Haworth this morning, "the students of the University will have the opportunity of hearing a lecture by one of the greatest recognized gem experts George F. Kunz, gem expert of Tiffany and Co., of New York."
Dr. Kunz will lecture in Fraser hall Friday evening at eight o'clock Dr. Kunz is returning from an expedition to southern California where he has been investigating some newly discovered gem deposits He has been lecturing at Leland Stanford, California, and several other universities in the west. He illustrates his lecture with seventy-five lantern slide$, illustrating the best jewelry and precious stones.
When the industrial chemists received their new grinding machine they believed that their troubles were ended, at least, along the grinding line. The capacity of the machine was amply sufficient for the needs of the department and happiness was the only thing that could result. The hopes and aspirations were soon blighted for yesterday the mill absolutely refused to accept any pebbles, as it had a pain in its side which later resulted in a rupture. It is on the hospital list now waiting until the official trouble man from Fowler shops comes to its rescue.
Prof. Haworth is much pleased to have obtained such a highly recognized authority on precious stones, and he is especially desirous that as many students as possible will take advantage of the opportunity to hear his lecture.

Student Interest in Rostrun Not Enoug to Warrant Our Membership
NUMBER 33.
The University of Kansas will not join the Missouri Valley Debate and Oratorical League this year according to the decision reached by the University debating council at its meeting yesterday afternoon. The members of the Council expressed as their belief that participation is such a contest would detract from the interest in the inter-state debates. Kansas has three debates scheduled this spring and it is the object of the council to foster the interest in these events as much as possible.
The council also discussed the question of forming a pentagonal Deiating League consisting of Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas, but the attitude that the University should take toward this league was not decided. Texas is anxious that the league should be formed and Missouri and Colorado have expressed willingness to enter
It was thought that the student here have not betrayed enough interest even in the inter-state debator to warrant the acceptance of the invitation to join the Missouri Valley association.
THE SPALDING RECITAL
Leading American Violinist Captivated His Audience
Last night at Fraser hall one of the finest recitals ever heard in Lawrence was given by Albert Spalding, violinist, and his accompanist Andre Benoist.
Mr. Spalding lifted up to his reputation as one of the greatest players of the world, showing a marvelous command of the most difficult of instruments, with a wonderful variety of tone and shading. He played the curious sonata which Tartini is said to have composed in 'a dream', the melancholy 'Concerto' on several smaller pieces of varied character among which some of the most pleasing were "The Bee" and the Hungarian Dances.
Mr. Spalding had just played at the University of Nebraska, and is to appear in Ottawa tonight, his on! concert in this vicinity.
THEY SEND FOR SAMPLES OF MISBRANDED GOODS
Prof. Frank Agelius, formerly of the University but at present of the State Normal School, has written to the department of chemistry asking for some samples of typically misbranded goods with which he will illustrate a chapel lecture which he will deliver on the subject, "The State Board of Health."

Others ramble through the magazine's pages—"Bud" and his pals, the "Dirty Duddings" who struggle with an acre of onions which fail to ripen in time for the spring market, and only to lose to stolid little bare footed John. John contrives to gather several shekels from a crop which produced only woe for the other youthful business men. Margaret Darrah tells how John does it in "Transactions In Onions," a tale of real boyhood life which will cause even chemistry professors to dream of the "Ole swimmin' hole."
If there are such things as professional boneheads, Anthony Perkwater Brohammer, who makes his appearance in this month's Oread Magazine, Friday, belongs to that class. Robert Sellers creates "A. P," in a football story called "The Assistant Cheer Leader" which is based on occurrences that took place at the University last fall. Brohammer's quota of gumption always was small, and as he parades before the readers of the Oread, he is at his worst. He is surrounded by mighty football players who toil mightily for Bingo University, but The Assistant Cheer Leader manages to set at naught their most ardent labors.
The village band, too, unblushingly sits down before the readers and clasps its collection of battered and bruised "toobys" and "swinets" to its collective bosom, after which the air is rent with many and divers sounds But the band and the "Dirty Duddings" and Anthony Perkwater Brohammer, professional bonehead, are only a few of the actorines and actors who help to make the March Oread interesting. The editors call this number "frivolous" because there are so few sobs within its cover. Even the editorial pages catch the spirit of joviality which radiates from the rotund person of Blububberson, who urges strained "comps" from the "tooby", and topics of University interest receive a chuckle-producing treatment which is guaranteed to produce no pain.
A stack of the new Oread will appear at the check stand at chapel time on Friday.
SIX FORMER CHANCELORS
IN OUR HALL OF FAME
Hanging just inside of the east door of Fraser hall, are six large portraits of the former Chancellors of the University. Probably few of the students have ever stopped long enough to notice who those men are or what they did.
When the University was located in old North College, R. W. Oliver was made the first Chancellor. That was in 1865, and since then five other men have acted in that capacity. John Fraser succeeded him in 1867, and in his honor Fraser hall was named, James Marvin, J. A. Lippincott, F. H. Snow, for whom Snow hall was named, and W. C. Spangler are the chancellors who acted in turn up to 1902, when Frank A. Strong was elected
"Ivy's Chance" is the title of a story in the current issue of "Smart Set" by Patience Bevier Cole. Before becoming Mrs. Cole, C patience Bevier took her freshmearyearwork here and returned here in 1906 for graduate work. She is now living in New York city and has only recently began contributing to magazines. Last summer she had an article in "McClure's."

Y.W.C.A. Committee Finds The Emblem Of Membership Popular
The galax leaf was the most popular decoration among University girls today. All the loyal old members of the Young Women's Christian Association wore this badge of membership, and a gratifying number of new members received the decoration.
Florence Black, Naomi Light, Helen Pendleton and Isabel Thames, members of the finance committee, were stationed at the old check stand in Fraser hall this morning to receive the dues and distribute the membership badges.
At the rally meeting in Myers hath at 4:30 this afternoon, Chancellor Strong spoke on "The University and the Association." Special music was furnished by Ruth E. Corle, Blanche Hess and Edith Bideau.
CHICAGO SCIENTIST

At the informal reception which followed, the members of the finance committee and the membership committee, with Miss Lucie March, president of the Association, received the new members and welcomed them to the organization. Tea was served at five o'clock.
Prof. John M. Coulter Will Give a Two-Wheel Series of Lectures on "Evolution of Higher Plants."
Prof. John M. Coulter, of the University of Chicago, has been secured for a series of lectures on "The Evolution of Higher Plants," that will last for two weeks. Beginning Monday, March 11, Professor Coulter will discuss various phases of his subject every afternoon in the lecture room of Snow hall at 4:30.
Professor Coulter is at the head of the Botany department at the University of Chicago and is considered the greatest of American botanists and one of the most noted in the world. He has written many books and articles on the subject of botany that tell of the research work that he has done. Most of the books that he has written have been used as text books by classes in botany in American colleges.
HE IS A COLLECTOR OF COW-BOY FOLK LORE
Professor Lomax, of Texas Will Tell of American Ballads in Chapel

Acceptable.
He Says Kansas is a Rich Field For Ballad-Gatherer—Contributions
Professor John A. Lomax, of the University of Texas, will speak on "Cowboy Songs and Other American Ballads" in chapel at 4:30 next Friday afternoon, March 8. He will also speak in chapel in the morning Professor Lomax has made a remarkable collection of previously un-recorded American ballads in his book "Cowboy Songs and Other-Frontier Ballads." It includes songs of many types, cowboy songs, negro folk songs, songs of lumber jacks, of mountaineers, songs of the sea and songs of the pioneer settlers.
Kansas A Rich Field.
Interest has been aroused generally throughout various parts of the country in his collection, so that he has obtained material from the various representative sections, but particularly from the middle west and the southwest. He thinks that Kansas is a particularly rich field. There are many songs unpublished, which are sung on the plains while the watchers ride round. Many of these are still handed down from the generation to another by word or mouth but deserve, because of their true merit, to be collected, even though they are uncouth and unpolished. These songs have every type of meter, many thoroughly original, many as rugged as the sentiment itself.
Songs Found in Unique Places.
Professor Lomax says, "As for the songs, I have violated the ethics of ballad-gatherers in a few instances, by selecting and putting together what seemed to be the best lines from different versions, all telling the same story.
"Frankly, the volume is meant to be popular. The songs have been arranged in some such hap-hazard way as they were collected—dotted down on a table in the rear of saloons, scrawled on an envelope while squatting about a camp-fire, caught behind the scenes of a brocho-busting outfit."
The freedom of the life of the cowboy is suggested by such a cowboy song as:
"Whoopee tiyi,git along, little dogies;
It's my misfortune and none of your own.
your new home.
Such a railroad song as "Jerry,
Go Ile That Car" has a rude plain-
tiveness:
"Come all ye railroad section men an' listen to my song.
It is of Larry O'Sullivan who now is dead and gone.
Oh, it's just ahead and cinter back. And Jerry, go ile that car.
Professor Lomax asks for such contributions and anyone having any such may hand them to Warren W. Reed.
ROF. JOHNSTON MAKES ADDRESS IN ST. LOUIS
Prof. Charles H. Johnston, Dean of the School of Education, has just returned from St. Louis where he attended the annual meeting of the administrative and professional section of the National Educational Association. This association is composed of the professors in colleges, universities and normal schools and superintendents and principals of city and high schools.
He gave an address before the association on the "Relation of Normal" Schools to Departments and Schools of Education in Universities."
SHOWER BATH TOO MUCH
FOR FRESHMAN ENGINEER
While taking a shower bath in the gymnasium yesterday, Carman G. Payne, a freshman in the School of Engineering, fell on the slippery floor on his face and was rendered unconscious. He soon recovered and no serious results followed except a deep gash over one eye.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
Keep thy shop, and thy shop will keep thee.
FROM A HIGH HILL
FROM A HIGH HILL
Of all the art displays that room the earth demanding quarters and half dollars from a half appreciative public, the exhibit conducted by Dame Nature, at $0.00 per look, is the most satisfying, and at the same time, the most easily seen. Nature's canvasses cannot be grouped in so small a space as those of the lesser artists, and some unsophisticated viewers may complain because her works d'art cannot be packed in an express car and shipped from town to town; but where is the man who can produce masterpieces in three hours?
Under the Dame's touch, a brown,
sere landscape is freshened and
made into a lush, rain-drenched
green in scarcely more than a
twinkling. What brush in human
hand could compare its cunning with
this?
Last night we looked out over a dark, leafless, wind-swept valley. This morning, a new valley greets us—one which is bright and frosty and blanketed in an endless stretch of soft beautiful white. Standing on the crest of the hill, we breathe in great lungfulls of crisp morning air and gaze into clear, sparkling distance. What depth! What distinctness of every outline! Could any living artist with his greatest work, inspire within us such feelings of pure happiness and joy of existence?
Every student in the University, every human being, is acquainted with this delightful sensation, and he should improve every opportunity to renew the acquaintance. The thoughtless ones who gaze at their toes when Dame Nature's art is spread all about them, deliberately deprive themselves of an influence which will freshen their lives, better their souls, and rob the day's work of a part of its drudgery.
The K. U. riffle club must have been "all shot to pieces" when it contested lucklessly with the other schools of the United States.
OH, YES! LET'S HAVE IT.
OH, YES! LETS HAVE IT.
In many other institutions of learning compulsory chapel attendance on the part of students is the rule. Why should this not be the rule at the University of Kansas?
There are several distinct advantages to be gained from it. For instance, it would insure a good audience for every speaker. It would enable statisticians in after years to determine from the records just the percentage of successes in life due to regular chapel attendance. If a fire or something of the kind should happen to break out during chapel time there would be lots more excitement with such a large crowd collected. On cold days the crowding together would help to keep the students warm.
Among the instruments for maintaining a compulsory chapel ought to be a roll-call. This would enable every student to get his name before the public at every chapel period.
beeg goo
This would encourage attendance of students, all of whom like to hear their names pronounced in public. Those who have pretty names should become quite famous in a little while. Thus the roll-call would promote the refined custom of giving artistic names to babies. Let us have com pulsory chapel, with a roll-call.
A headline in the Daily Kansan to the effect that "Billy Proved Financial Success—Cleared $125 In Two Nights," probably bred in the bosom of many a father, the fond hope that the University might teach his boy to become a financial genius.
The girls of the University bemoan the fact that they cannot crowd seventy-five basket-ball aspirants upon a "ten-girls" floor. Surely they are not utilizing space properly; for more than a hundred people easily can be crowded upon a ten-pin floor
COLLEGE SARCASM
The following editorial from the Otterbein Review seems to us to express a sentiment worthy of repetition:
"College life is very fruitable ground for the cultivation of sarcasm. This is true because the college student has the capacity for it. Although sarcasm is far from being commendable, its effective use necessitates a high order of mental power and a fine degree of discrimination and distinction. We might expect to find this among college people. The close social connections of students in the college world and the multiplicity of complex situations continually confronting the individuals of a student body often provoke, and sometimes justify, sarcasm. People are sarcastic when they are disgustful with some thing or some person. Sarcasm is the most stinging kind of a rebuke. Students live so close to one another that they find much to rebuke in those about them. Thus we may conclude that sarcasm of the college brand is natural, and often apparently justifiable. But, reasoning with ourselves, each one of us did sarcasm ever win a friend, make anyone better, or even actually benefit the person who used it? Sarcasm is, in almost every case, a form of vanity, and vanity has no place in a college life."
JAPAN'S IMPERIAL DESCRIPT
ON EDUCATION
Know ye our subjects:
Our imperial ancestors have founded our empire . . . and have deeply and firmly implimated virtue: Our subjects, ever united in loyalty and piety, have from generation to generation illustrated the beauty thereof. This is the one of the fundamental character of our empire, and herein lies the source of our education. Ye, our subjects, be filial to your parents, affectionate to your brothers and sisters; as husbands and wives be harmonious, as friends, true; bear yourself in modesty and moderation; extend your benevolence to all; pursue learning and cultivate arts, and thereby develop intellectual faculties, and perfect moral powers; furthermore advance public good, and promote common interests; always respect the constitution and observe the laws; should emergency arise, offer yourself courageously to the state; and thus guard and maintain the prosperity of our imperial throne. . . .
So shall ye not only be our good and faithful subjects, but render illustrious the best traditions of your forefathers.
The way here set forth is indeed the teaching bequeathed by our imperial ancestors, to be observed alike by their descendants and subjects. . . It is our wish, to lay it to heart in all reverence, in common with you, our subjects, that we may all attain to the same virtue.-Youths Companion.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
A DOG looking out for its after- nap moon jumped into the Manger of an Ox and lay there cosily upon the straw. But soon the Ox, returning from its afternoon at the Manger, wanted to, eat some of the straw. The Dog in a rage, awakened from its slumber, stood up and barked at the Ox, and whenever it came near him he ran back and had to give up the hope of getting at the straw, and went away muttering: "Ah, people offer, grudge others who

MORE EFFICIENT PROFESSOR To the Daily Kansen.
The editor is not responsible for the views expressed here. Communications must be signed as an evidence of good faith.
STUDENT OPINION
The University is now fairly well equipped with buildings and general facilities, but I think that we need more first class professors. It seems to me that we have too large a proportion of inexperienced instructors in the faculty.
None of the last appropriation went for the much needed increase in salaries of the faculty. The next appropriation should provide for an increase in the salaries of our present professors, and should include a substantial amount for inducing first class men to come from other schools. At present, the scale of harassment has been increased and in consequence, the University has been handicapped in bidding for first class teachers.
On general principles, I wish to protest against accumulating material equipment at the expense of the teaching force. The faculty is surely the most important part of an educational institution. The engineering school is a good example of the possession of satisfactory buildings and equipment, but with an inadequate fund to procure additional first class professors. In the engineering field, those whom the call of professional work leaves to teaching, other engineering schools are securing with their greater financial inducements.
"Engineer."
ABOLISH THE "CUT" SYSTEM To the Daily Kansas
To the Daily Kansan
With all their other good work, why do not the Daily Kansan and the Student Council look into the "cat" system of the University, and use their influence toward having this system abolished?
It is the rule that a person is allowed as many "cuts" in a subject as the number of hours per week he spends therein, and if he takes more than his number, he will not be eligible to take the final examination
Should we, like grammar-school children, be required to account for every absence from class? Or, should we be recognized as the men and women we are, and be permitted to be absent from class as often as possible, so long as we are capable of taking and passing the examinations?
Many of the leading universities have already adopted this rule. Why should Kansas be the last?
UNCLE NICKELOUS
SULFIDE SAYS

"One thing sure about this Kansas weather, we are reasonably safe from heavy snows in July and August."
*Mineralogy may be the science of collecting minerals, but it don't foller from that that taxidermy is the science o' collectin't taxes.*
"Pragmatism," defines Uncle Nick, "is an attempted application o' the principles o' philosophy to common sense."
"I know a feller that went down to Columbia last fall, and after gittin' back he bragged about the pretty girls he met down there. The consequences," continued Uncle Nick, "is that he has a lot o' trouble gettin' dates here in Lawrence."
"I heard a professor lecturn' or Logic the other day," remarked Uncle Nick, "and as far as I could see, his text was, 'It's so because it's so because it's so because it's so."
"The ground hog saw his shadow all right," remarked Uncle Nick, "but it's platinum cruisibles to test tuber that if he hadn't he wouldn't 'a beer runnin' around Saturday."
"Some fellers I know are like test tubes. They can't hold anything up with a rack o' some kind."
"No felter with a good honest case objects to havin' his picter in the Jayhawker," says Uncle Nick. "The ones that kick are them that are tryin' to eat their soup with two spoons."
"If the Kansan is at all public spirited," said Uncle Nick as he watched the blizzard last Saturday "I'll start a movement to run that there Meter family out 'o town."
Every book is, in an intimate sense, a circular letter to the friends of him who writes it. They alone take his meaning; they find private messages, assurances of love, and expressions of gratitude, dropped from them in every place. A good listener becomes a patron who defrays the postage. Yet though the letter, is directed to all we have an old and kindly custom of addressing it on the outside to one. Of what shall a man be proud, if he is not proud of his friends?
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
A German league for girls has just been formed in Berlin on similar lines to that of the boy scouts. It is to be called the Girl Pathfinders League, says a special to the Christian Science Monitor. Girls of from 14 to 18 are eligible for membership, irrespective of religion and rank. Politics are to be carefully excluded from the course of instruction.
GIRL PATHFINDERS
-ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON.
The chief purpose of the leagua is to provide exercise for girls, to inculcate independence of action, promote concentration of purpose, quickness of decision and presence of fear. The nineteen women are many well-known women.
Captain Bayer, who has already drilled the Hamburg girl scouts into a flourishing band of over 100 members, will have the supervision of the new undertaking. It has met with much sympathy there, and would-be members are applying from all quarters.
FIRST COMIC OPERA
The first comic opera was described by Sir Frederick Bridge in a lecture at the City of London School, later reported by the London News. The opera, "L'Amfiparnasso," was by Orazio Vecchi, a well known madrigal writer, and was published in 1597 as a musical comedy. There was a prologue, and the characters numbered a dozen.
A curious feature of the music was that though the characters were supposed to sing their parts the score was for four or five voices, who practically provided the accompaniment instead of an orchestra. His view was that each character sang his words in front of an audience, the other voices behind the screen singing them at the same time.
The comedy had a vivid story, in which Lucio and Isabella were the principals, and there was true dramatic feeling in the musical form.

ESKIMO RIDES WAVES IN A SEALSKIN BOAT
Arctic "Kayak," Craft from Land of Midnight Sun,Is in the Museum.
How many student sightseers have seen the Eskimo boat in the basement of the Museum? This "kayak," as the Eskimo calls it, came from Holstenberg, Greenland. It consists of a very light framework of wood covered with the skins of the saddleback seal. The saddleback seal wears a very tough and waterproof hide, so it just suits Mr. Eskimo's purpose.
It is about eighteen feet long and only twenty inches wide, while its depth in the center is only about eight inches; toward each end it gradually tapers. Its under surface is comparatively flat and has no keel.
In the center is the only opening. This is circular and just large enough for a man to slip into and fix his legs properly under the deck. Then there is a seal skin covering, which is slipped over the boatman's body fitting tightly both to the boat and around the passenger's face and wrists. This is made of young pliable and waterproof seal skin.
Wearing this garment, the Eskimo can propel his vessel through the heaviest seas, and can even be capsized and right himself again without getting wet. There is scarcely a sea that he cannot ride in his craft and yet it is so light that he can carry it on his head for miles.
NO SEA TOO HEAVY
The Eskimo propels his "kayak" with a bladed paddle which is also with the boat in the Museum. There one can also see the harpoon with which he spears his game, the bladder and bladder-line which is fastened to the barb of the harpoon in order that he can keep track of the game after it is speared, his reel for catching halibut, his throwing stick and all the other equipment of an Eskimo hunter.
THE BEST ONE-MAN BOAT. Though it is no easy matter to keep one's hand out, this, yet the Eskimo becomes very skillful in handling it. The kyak can be driven at a great speed and is, without doubt, the best one-man boat in existence.

The United States government has faith in the report obtained by the Kansas City public utilities commission from Prof. Erasmus Haworth Kansas state geologist, regarding the condition of the natural gas supply in the Kansas and Oklahoma fields. Frederick G. Clapp, petroleum engineer of the United States bureau of mines, called the other day at the office of the commission in Kansas City and asked the privilege of copying important parts of the report.
Mr. Clapp is making a report for the government on the condition of the natural gas fields throughout the United States. He has been in Lawrence and in the gas fields investigator Jason Haworth and his assistant He will use the Haworth report for this territory.

Jose Vilato, the Junior Law who was appointed interpreter for the City Court last fall, is a native of Havana, Cuba. He received his primary education in Havana. There he also learned the trade of tailoring. In the Cuban warehouse where he worked, Vilato also learned to speak English and French.
He came to the United States in 1902 and entered Tuskegee Institute. After spending a term at that institution, he went to Morris Brown College at his home in North Carolina and the full number of hours in the college, and practiced his trade of tailoring.
In Atlanta he became acquainted with Dr. R. F. Williams, a physician of that city, and an old University of Kansas man. Dr. Williams told Vilato about the University of Kansas and persuaded him to come here,
After returning to Cuba in 1908, he came back to the United States and entered the School of Law here last fall. In downtown tailor outside of school hours.

TO STOP DEPARTMENT STORE DRUG TRAFFIC
As chairman of the committee on Drug Reform of the America Pharmaceutical Association, Dean L. E Sayre has sent circulars to all the representative druggists of the state of Kansas this week regarding the enforcement of a uniform standard for all remedial agents.
Designed by
Hirsh, Wickwire Co.
The object of the committee on drug reform is to crowd out of existence, all illegitimate dealers in sub-standard goods, which are creeping into mercantile establishments such as department stores, and into hospitals and other physician clinics where they are dispensing medicines as pharmacists.
"We are not trying to start a war," said Dean Sayre this morning. "We are simply trying to see that the law is properly enforced. By implying only the drug stores, a loop hole is left for the introduction of inferior drugs and medicines into other establishments."
Dean Sayre Would Prohibit Drug Sales by Any but Registered Pharmacists
There are over fifty students in the University of Chicago, who come from all parts of Kansas, and nearly all of these were present and lent their enthusiasm to the meeting. Several toasts were given by representatives of different Kansas colleges. George Owens, who attended the University of Kansas last year, acted as toastmaster during the evening. Mr. Lambert Elden, who was elected president of the club, spoke upon "The Sunflower."
Dean Sayre's idea of law enforcement in regard to drugs is that inspectors should be required to investigate all kinds of drugs, no matter where found.
The circulars sent out will go all over the United States. Dean Sayre will work the Kansas field and is endeavoring to persuade other states to take up the same method ofcircularizing.

A FLYING JESTER IN A SUIT OF BLUE
The Blue-jay Has a Bad Name But His Heart's In The Right Place
The Blue Jay is never taken seriously. His bright blue uniform with its posterlie dashes of black and white, and his rakish topknot, causes people to scream. But he doesn't mind it. He just goes on living up to their expectations of him.
Mark Twain has written a story to prove that the jay is human, and it is easy to agree with him. But there is a serious side of his nature, and at times he tries to live up to his long name of Cynocitta Cristata Cristata. He is an admirable man. He is an admirable man but not uttered near his nest. There he keeps respectful silence and goes about like a sober minded family man.
has a long hepaplier.
He has many call besties the "jay-jay" that his name is. He has a decidedly individual whistling cough which he affects in winter. His love song in the spring has a peculiar liquid, roffing quality. When he gives this song he pumps his body up and down in a most cunning fashion, well in keeping with his general clownish behavior.
There is much gossip about his cannibalistic fondness for other bird's eggs, but may not this be the exception of a few individuals, like the criminals of the human family, and not characteristic of the race as a whole?
A well authenticated case of kindness and intellect is told to his credit. A flock of Jays in the fall, tenderly cared for and fed, as if he were a nestling, and old crippled, blind jay who was in no way able to care for himalf.
Perhaps the jester jay is a better bird than ordinary observers have made tim out. A.P.B.
Plumbers Can't Touch Appropriation F. E. W., ward, superintendent of Fowler Shops, estimates that the shops, by helping the University plumbers, save the University at least $300 a year. Hardly a day passes, that the plumbers do not find it necessary to use some tool or machine, in the shops. Something breaks everyday and it is a great saving of time and money to fix these at Fowler Shops instead of taking them down town to a blacksmith.

CHANCELLOR SNOW
LET A LIZARD GO
It Was in Chapel, Too, But the Saurian Was Quickly Recaptured
That the late Chancellor Snow was so fond of practical jokes that he brought a lizard to chapel, is told by C. W. Stephenson, '79, of Detroit, Michigan, in an article on "The Mirthful Side of Chancellor Snow's Life," in the Graduate Magazine, which is out today.
The lizard, which was to be exhibited to a class after chapel, was carefully concealed in a paper tube. Mr. Stephenson took the tube from Chancellor Snow, and allowed the lizard to crawl to the lap of his next neighbor, a ticnic and unsuspecting new student, who was "frightened beyond expression."
"Quick as thought," said Mr. Stephanuck. "Professor Snow reached over, seized the lizard, poked it back into his mouth, and gave me a vigorous punch in the ribs."
The Graduate Magazine contains also "A Text-Book of Fifty Years Ago," an address delivered at the University Chapel exercises, January 9, by Prof. Mitchell and the late Professor of Mathematics in a story "Of the Brook University, was Located." an account
of a struggle and its outcome forty-nine years ago in February, from the "Quarter-Centennial History of the University of Kansas," edited by Wilson Sterling; a poem, "Anniversary Greeting," by Arthur Graur Canfield, formerly professor of French language and literature in the University. He is now a member of the faculty of the University of Michigan.
"From Many Angles" is the name of a new department, which is to be largely literary. Contributions from alumni for this department are desired. The names of contributors should accompany the articles, but in no case will the number of them be announced. In each number are found short sketches "O Bea in a Beacon Bearer." "Of Today." "Defining an Aim." "The Bliss or Being Different."
The class room of the course newspaper writing at DePaww w be fitted up like a metropolitan new paper office.

HAS THREE-TOED HORSE UNIVERSITY REGENTS OF PREHISTORIC AGE APPEAR BEFORE COURT
Museum Specimen Lived in America Two Million Years Ago
ONLY THREE FEET IN HEIGHT
W. J. Baumgartner Found The Skeleton Inbedded in Rock While Camping in Oregon in 1907.
the skeleton of a three-toed horse, one of the rarest fossils known to paleontologists, is probably the most valuable specimen in the museum. This fossil is the connecting link in the evolution of the horse from the five-toed animal to the present single-toed or single-heofed form. The skeleton is only three feet in height and has the form of a modern Shetland pony with the exception of the two small hoofs on each side and a little to the rear of the large hoof.
The two extra toes of the pre-historic horse grew from the rear of the cannon bone, and in the modern horse the splint bones remain to show the relationship with the three-toed horse. These toes took much of a jar off the main hoof. The lameness in the splint bones of the modern horse after a long drive show that the pre-historic horse had the edge over his descendant.
This specimen was found in the Hay Stack Valley on the John Day river in Oregon in the summer of 1908. W. Prof. J. Baumgartner discovered the fossil accidentally, while camping in that region. The skeleton of the horse was petrified in the rock. H. T. Martin, of the department of paleontology, was in the camp, and he recognized the horse as a valuable specimen and with the other members of the party placed the entire "find" in boxes and shipped them to Lawrence.
After several months of careful work the different parts of the fossil were separated from the rock and cemented together to form the complete skeleton. Mr. Martin says that the horse lived in this country about two million years ago.
Student Mag. Contains Six Stories and Five Poems.
When asked of the surroundings of the prehistoric horse he said: "It lived in the same region as the rhinoceros, sab-toothed tiger, and other ferrocious animals. Grass evidently grew higher in Oregon than it does now for the horse has quite a short neck. The teeth show that the little horse ate grass as its descendants do now.
OREAD OUT TOMORROW
"The explanation of the greater size of the horse of today is found in the increased growth of herbage The horse shows the process of evolution better than any other animal. I have no doubt but that complete skeletons of five-toed horses will be found."
The second number of the Oread Magazine this winter will appear on the campus tomorrow morning. The magazines will be placed on sale at the old check stand in Fraser hall and in the Engineering building.

Are Defendants in a Suit Brought by John M. Young of Weir
PLAINTIFF DID NOT FILE BILL
Case Involves The Establishing of State School of Mines and Metallurgy at Weir.
As defendants in a suit brought by John M. Young, a citizen of Weir, the University Board of Regents through their attorney Dean J. W. Green, appeared before the State Supreme Court this morning to show why a mandamus should not be issued against them to compel them to carry out the provisions of a statute passed by the last legislature.
A year ago it was enacted that $25,000 should be used to establish a state school of Mines and Metalurgy at Weir, Cherokee county. The University Board of Regents have failed to make any provision for the establishing of this school. The action is brought by a private citizen of Weir, presumably backed by citizens of the town, and the plaintiff seeks to have a writ of mandaum issued against the defendants to compel them to establish the school.
This morning Dean Green appeared before the Supreme Court prepared to argue the case, but the plaintiff had failed to file his bill and the Court gave him ten days in which to prepare it. Dean Green moved to waive this part of the proceedings and to argue the case on its merits, but the Court refused to grant this. Thus noticing can be done until the plaintiff's bill is filed "We simply desire to get some light on the statutes" said Dean Green this morning before leaving for Topeka. "At the present time the University Board of Regents is unable to determine the true intent and meaning of the law passed by the legislature, and the actor brought by Mr. Young will enable them to ascertain what was meant. In my brief I have pointed out wherein there is an error in allowing a private citizen to bring action against the Regents. Such an action can be brought only by a state official. But the whole thing will be threshed out in court."
Last year the citizens of Weir attempted to have Attorney General Dawson compel the Regents to establish the school, but he refused to take any action until the "joints" were cleaned out of the city. He said it was not a fit place for a state school. The people immediately got busy and after a "clean-up" returned to the Attorney General, but he still hesitated at issuing the desired writ. It was then that the action by the private citizen was brought.

BACK IN POLITICS AGAIN:
"CUB"JOINS SUFFRAGISTS
"Cub" Baer, the man who is responsible for the safe delivery of 2,600 Kansans, member of the "P. S. B.", is now a member of the Women's Equal Suffrage League. This will come as a surprise to many of "Cub's" friends who have long admired his enthusiastic and eloquent treads against what he has characterized as the "trouvers for women" movement. It came about in this way: Cauley got a bet with a young lady acquaintance, concerning which we not of, but if he lost he was to "pay her dues", or if he lost he, Cub, was to join the ranks of our denatured suffragettes.
EQUAL SUFFRAGISTS TO PLANS COMPLETE HEAR NATIONAL WORKER FOR 1912 ANNUAL
Mrs. Maude W. Park Wil Talk to Men in Chapel March 19.
The College Equal Suffrage League of the University has made arrangements to have Mrs. Maude Wood Park, national speaker for the College Equal Suffrage League, speak at the University, Tuesday March 19.
For the past two years, Mrs. Park has been traveling in the Far East studying the conditions surrounding the lives of Oriental women and children and has been able to gain access to many parts of the Oriental home not usually seen by travelers. Mrs. Park declares that everywhere the condition of women is changing in the direction of greater freedom and further opportunities, both social and personal.
Cub lost.
Mrs. Park will be remembered as one of the founders of the National CollegeEqual Suffrage League which is considered one of the strongest factors in the struggle for votes for women. Her interest in equal suffrage goes back to her own college days, when Mrs.Inez Haynes Gilmore, she founded the first order at Radcliffe College. This organization now embraces all the leading colleges of the States and has a national secretary with offices on Fifth Avenue, New York and a membership numbering thousands, among whom are prominent college women all over the country.
Mrs. Park will speak in chapel Tuesday morning and before the College League at Myers hall, Tuesday afternoon at 3:30.
It is said the Suffrage league will pay his expenses home next fall at election.
A Sub for The Leading Lady.
The leading part in the Red Domino which was to have been played by Miss Madeline Nachtman has been given to Miss Ruth Walker of the Fine Arts department.
He may now be seen any day on the steps of the Green hall passing out suffragist literature and campaign buttons, and every now and then crying in a roar, rolling rods and re-echoes across the campus, "Votes for Woman! Votes for Women!"
THE FIRE-EATERS WILL
WRANGLE SOME MORE
The blow was terrible. Cub had counted on a sure thing or he wouldn't have so carelessly risked his freedom of opinion. Briebs were offered. But the young lady was a True Sufraqtah. The badly wounded Cub joined, and was duly initiated.
The members of the K. U. Debating Society meet Friday night at 7:45, to debate the questions of the inheritance tax and a system of direct employment on municipal public works. The first debate reads: "Resolved that a graduate inheritance tax is a desirable source of revenue for the state." W. T. Griffin, Ross, and Hemphill will uphold the measure, and Fairchilds Bennett, and Steinsmeyer will oppose it.
K. U. Debating Society Will Debate Inheritance Tax and Municipal Direct Inheritance Employment
The second date is: "Resolved that a system of direct employment should supplant the contract system in municipal public works." The affirmative speakers are Aadir, Gorsuch, and Miller; and the negative speakers are Edwards, Guilfoyle, and Morton. Prof. R. D. O'Leary, of the department of English, will act as critic for the evening.

Plans for a 1912 Jayhawk, full or many new features and more complete departments are now practically complete, according to Carl Cannon, editor of the book. In other pictures, more pages and more jobs are all promised by the editorial board.
Particular attention is being given this year to drawings and pictures. Three artists and four photographers are now busy preparing material for the book. There will be more than twenty full page drawings. The headings of the departments will be half-tone cuts of Czech statuary, while the sud-headings will be zinc etchings. Sixteen pages of cartoons of campus scenes are a feature. Four pages in a new cartoon will be devoted to those developments on the hill commonly called "cases." A duotone section containing tinted photographs of buildings and Lawrence views will be
Magazine style is to be followed in the first part of the book. Events of importance during the school year will be written and illustrated with snap-shots like an ordinary magazine article.
The section given to the faculty will contain photographs of the deans, together with revised information.

More space will be devoted to athletics this year than has been customary in the past. Will French captain of the track team, is athletic editor and is planning some original "stunts" for his department. There will be 100 more pages this year than ever before.
TRY-OUT FOR MASQUE
PLAY IN FRASER TONIGHT
Try-outs for the cast of the Masque club play will be held in Fraser hall Thursday evening at 7:30.

ENGINEERS CHALLENGE SEEK NEW SYSTEM OF LAWS TO SNOW BATTLE FINANCE FOR ANNUAL
Suggest Green West of Snow Hall as Scene of Action
WARN COLLEGE MEN AWAY
Wearers of Flannel Shirts And Top Boots Wish to Get Even at Chapel Tomorrow.
Wearers of Flannel Shirts And Top-
Whereas, the students in the School of Law are continually peppering us individually, but not collectively, with snow balls as we pass their hall of learning, we the undersigned challenge the School of Law to a snow ball fight, to take place on the arena at 19:00 o'clock in the arena enclosed by Powder Shops, Snow ball, the Gymnasium and the Chemistry building. (Signed "The Engineers,")
The foregoing challenge was posted on the bulletin board in the Engineering building early this morning, and evidently the wearers of the high top boots and flannel shirts intend to make up for sunny offences, either imaginary or otherwise, to themselves by be resorting to a good snow-ball fight.
The green west of Snow hall between the shops and the chemistry building has been suggested by the engineers a good place for the action to take place.
Some of the engineering students aver that if the laws do not show up, they will claim a victory by default and they must forever after, keep their peace.
The engineers, however, give warning to the students in the College that if the latter value their hats, heads or lives they must keep out of range of the firing line in front of the chemistry building.
LAW SCHOOL SNAPS GIVEN THE "GO-BY"
Special Examinations in Case of Failures Will Be Eliminated
At a meeting of the law school faculty yesterday afternoon a resolution was passed that will tend to do away with the old idea that the School of Law is a place where snaps are handed out by the basket full. The resolution passed made a rule that, in the future, any student in any subway or institutional examination to make up the work, but he must repeat the subject the following term in class.
In former years it has been the practice in the School of Law that whenever a student failed in his work he was allowed to take a special examination, and if he passed he was given full credit in the course. With this rule in effect the tendency was, according to one of the professors, for the students to let their daily lessons slide, thinking that if they failed in a subject they could "bug up" for a special examination and make a grade in the course with practically no studying during the term. The rule passed yesterday will do away with this manner of procedure.
Next September the rule that $i$ student in the University must first have a year in the College before he can enter the School of Law will go into effect.

Senior Class Meeting Will Be Held to Discuss a Proposed Change.
HOPE TO SET A PRECEDENT
Sachems And Class Presidents Talked it Over Last Night And Urged an Investigation
Earl Ammons, president, announced today that a meeting of the senior class would be held within a few days to discuss several proposed changes in the management of the Jayhawker. This announcement came as the culmination of a meeting of the ciass presidents at the Phi Delta Phi house last night and the action of the Sachems in appointing a committee that shall formulate some definite financial system upon which the senior book shall be placed.
Ever since it has become the custom for the seniors to issue an annual there has been a lack of a definite check upon the finances of the book and the two meetings last night were for the purpose of suggesting some plans which may be used in the future whereby the class through its officers may exercise a supervisorial power over the expenditures and reimbursements of the book.
A committee of the Sachems composed of Burton Sears, Harold Brownlee and Ira Snyder is at work at present and at the time of the senior class meeting will make a report which they hope will be accepted by the class.
"Don't think for a moment that we are in any way imputing dishonesty to the present management of the Jayhawker," said Burton Sears this morning. "We feel, however, that the class does not have sufficient control over the finances that are rightfully in its jurisdiction. We merely hope to hit upon some sound definite financial system which we think other classes in the future will follow."
Clark Wallace, manager of the Jayhawk, met with the class presidents last night and explained the working of the present system to them. "Under the plan now in use" he said today, "every contract that I have made is open to the inspection of the class and I welcome an investigation of my books. But I do feel that I should be compelled to give a heavy bond to the printers and engravers, and then be forced to pay all my expenditures, however small, through a finance committee appointed by the class."
Five Senior Miners Investigated State C煤矿 Lines Monday.
LANSING WELCOMED THEM
Professor C. M. Young and five mining engineer colleges, Philo Halleck, George Brown, Daniel Cadmus, Albert Mangsdelsorf and Oliver Andrews, went to Lansing last month to investigate the cause of ventilation in the state coal mine.
The mine is ventilated by means of an eighteen foot fan and the object of the investigation was to determine the efficiency of the fan.
The men were entertained at dinner in the doffeers dining hall. ProfessorYoung reports that several of the fellows enjoyed themselves extremely renewing old acquaintances among the prisoners.

A communicant to "Student Opinion" suggested yesterday that our present "cut" system be abolished and gave as his reason the fact that University students are young men and women who are conscientious enough about the class work to make compulsory attendance unnecessary.
It is a fact that a student is allowed as many "cuts" as he has hours per week in the subject, and that all "cuts" over this are sufficient to keep him from taking final examinations. But how many students have ever been excluded from the final quizzes because of these "cuts"? As far as one can observe there have been but few instances of this and these were when the student was so grossly negligent of his attendance that absolutely no excuse could be made for him.
The faculty has a ruling that all excused absences cannot count against a student in his final examinations. And why should there be any objection to a system of keeping account of "cuts" when these absences can be excuse if the professor believes there is a valid reason for the absence?
The whole matter is simply a case of having a system that does not affect the real student, but is a proof for the lagward.
"Cuts" work no harm on the student who is in earnest; who is here for all he can get out of the University. Surely those who are idlers, who go to class only because they are forced to, ought to have something over them that will at least stir within them some latent determination to attend classes with a semblance of regularity.
THE IDEAL WAY
X. Y. Z. would have it something like this, evidently: "The team is composed of J. Percival Jones, a member of the Chi Yi fraternity; Jim Tudd, a member of the Ma Ma fraternity; Sullivan P. Dooley, a member of the Katz Klub and soot to be pledged to the Rep Rho Petunia Napoleon B. Alexander, a member of the Psi Eta Pi fraternity; and Vanderbilt Rockefeller Smith, a member of the Pi Rho Technic fraternity. Jim Jeffries Fitzsimons a Michigan alumnus who is a member of the Rho O. Beans fraternity refereed the game." OH SLUSH!
MUST BE GENIAL HOSTS
Within a few days the University will be the hosts to over three hundred high school visitors who will be here for the fifth annual basket-ball tournament. In order to impress these visitors properly with the interest the University takes in them, and in order to show them all the things the University has to offer, it is necessary that some systematic arrangement for the entertainment of the guests be made.
Last year the custom was started.
62.3 fraternity and sorority
and club that has rose ow.
house, agree to accommodate a number of the high school students. This plan was tried successfully and every one of the visitors was impressed with the greatness of the institution and was appreciative of the attention shown them.
If such a plan is to be adopted this year, it is time that these various organizations who are expected to entertain the visitors, should announce their intentions to Coach Hamilton, who has such affairs in charge. He desires that those who intend to accommodate any number of the student with rooms should notify him at their earliest convenience.
There is no better way in which the hospitality of the student body and the general interest of the University can be shown than by a genial and friendly courtesy to the visitors when they arrive.
WHAT IS COLLEGE FAILURE?
Here comes John Doe, the college failure. In everything he ever attempted he lost out. He failed in debating, fizzled in orchestra, flunked in dramatics. The football coach said he was too light; the crew coach rejected him as too short; the track coach turned him down as too slow. Politics killed him in elections; prejudice barred him from student publications. John Doe has a perfect record—of zeros.
And yet, is John Doe a failure? What is failure? Is it the accumulation of one defeat after another that constitutes a failure?
There goes Richard Roe. He was chairman of the Freshman dance committee; vice-chairman of the Sophine pipe committee; member of the Prom arrangements committee. He danced in the Union vaudeville and was manager of the class track team. He wore a Greek letter plaid shirt of beautiful tights and one of plain gold with mysterious characters. Richard Roe has a perfect record of 1000 per cent.
And yet, is Richard Roe a success? What is success? Is it the winning of a few painty distinctions which we dignify by the term "honors."
John Doe competed in a fight for eight big things; he lost them all. Richard Roe won eight distinctions. To be sure he did not exactly compete for them they were hardly competitive contests. Perhaps he pulled himself into action. John Doe is a miserable failure; Richard Roe is a brilliant success.
What is success? Success is not the attainment of a handful of plums. Success is the striving, the plugging, the struggling to do biplugs, to do many things—even though those ends never be attained. Failure is not the failure to win against someone who is to be satisfied with trivial trinkets. Failure is the failure to get in the fight for the things that count.
John Doe is not the college failure; he is the college success. The failure is not the man who works along a dozen lines and fails in twelve. The failure is the man who tries to gain nothing of importance and succeeds—Daily Cardinal.

AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
A FOX was boasting to a Cat of its clever devices for escaping their enemies. "I have a whole hag of tricks," he said, "which contains a hundred ways of escaping my enemies."
"I have only one," said the Cat; "but I can generally manage with that. Just at that moment they heard the cry or a pack of hounds jumped out and immediately scampered up a tree and herself in the boughs. "This is my plan," said the Cat. "What are you going to do?" The Fox thought first one way, then of another, and while he was debating the hounds came and ran toward him. In his confusion was caught up by the hounds and soon killed by the huntsmen. Miss Puss, who had been looking on, said:
Better one safe way than a hundred on which you cannot reckon."

STORY OF A KANSAS GIRL
39 Homer Cray in the Magazine Maker.
A few years ago a girl in Kansas wanted to write. She lived in a small town where the Saturday afternoon auction around the courthouse square was the biggest event of the week. Every Fall the city had a Corn Carnival and hired a parachute jumper to go up in his balloon and come sailing down while the population of the whole county held its breath in wonder and amazement.
She had always lived there and had never known anybody except Mr. O'Fallen, who kept the grocery on the corner and told such funny stories about the war; and Mrs. Grundy, who had once been little Eva in a fly-by-night. But these were just common everyday people and she has known them all ber life.
Month after month dragged by and year after year slipped away into the dimness of things without the girl once getting time or opportunity to travel and tell of the curious people of the world, but still the flame of ambition burned on. Care and responsibility saddled her shoulders and the chance to do lifted farther and farther from her finger tips.
She had drifted into a small job of reporting on the daily paper with a round of the grocery store to make each day to find who was in town from Polk township and if A. R. Williams, the leading merchant, had gone to Kansas City that week. Each day she had to take the 10:42 bus down to the station to see who was leaving in; she usually walked back, coming by the hospital and dropping in at the Trast lumberyard, for they always knew what was going on in the county.
But the chance to travel, to meet strange people and write powerful stories never came. The sweet dream of each night turned to bitterness each morning when she had to rush through her coffee to get dom and open the office before the 702. 702 we met who wrote never wavered; only the chance to do powerful, gripping stories never came.
At last she began to write about things she saw around her every day and to turn them in as copy, as well as the items about Roy Ford, getting back from a visit, with his uncle at Gentryville, and about Mrs. O. F. Woods, who was fast recovering after her severe fall of last week. She began to write about people instead of their accidents; she began to turn in the funny stories that Mr. O'Fallon, the grocer, told. The editor knew them by heart, but it had never struck him before that they were so funny. She began to do a Saturday story about the queer experience Mrs. Grundy had down in Texas once when they had to use the blood holes in Uncle Tom's Cabin to run to earth an escaping bank robber; everybody on Mrs. Grundy's street knew the details by heart, but Mrs. Grundy had never told it so well as the paper and so they clipped it out and sent it to friends who might be interested just because it was good reading.
Subscribers began to drop into the office to tell the editor how much they liked the sketches; they began to complain if they missed a single issue, for they were keeping scrapbooks—and before it had made much difference if they did miss a number or two.
Neighboring papers began copying the girl's stories and pretty soon the Kansas City papers were featuring them—giving credit, of course. One day an advertising firm bought the right to print one of the stories in a booklet and distributed a hundred thousand copies. Soon the people of three states were watching the work of this one girl—watching for the stories all laid within the city limits of her town.
Then one day a telegram came.
The girl opened it with trembling fingers, for who knew her and what could they want? The message was brief;
The girl could hardly believe her eyes, for how would she know about her away off in New York. In a dream she turned it over in her mind for two days when another message came:
"Will you consider coming to New York?
"New York Journal."
"Will you consider proposition? Wire collect.
"New York Journal."
She wired and in two weeks had her own desk on Hearst's paper in the throbbing heart of New York City. Her name was put on the magazine page and, through his syndicate, featured from one end of the country to the other.
The girl was Frances L. Garside.
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
Then, warmly walled with books,
While my wood-pile supplies the sun's defect,
Whispering old forest-sagas in it'dreams,
I take my May down from the happy
Where perch the world's rare song-birds in a row,
Waiting my choice to open with full breast,
An beg an alms of spring-time, ne'er denied
Indoors by vernal Chaucer, whose fresh woods
Tirubh took with merle and mavis all the year.
—JAMES RUSSEL LOWELL.
RECESSIONAL
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
SPRING "ROMANCE"
C. H. Thompson (Pip Daniels) in the Howard Courant.
On every co-educational college campus in the land, from now on to the end of the school year, young couples will be seen strolling along, to and from classes, inhaling spring germs and bird songs, exhaling soft words and unstable promises. And they really mean what they say—that when they come back in the fall, everything is better, and autumn will find their hearts still beating together, stronger than ever. But maybe He won't come back—may
Pa has not had the best luck, or maybe he will have a good job that he can't quit to go to school; and maybe She will have to go to sister's in Illinois to help take care of the kids while sister goes to Florida.
God of our fathers, known of old-
Lord or of some other name,
who awful hand we hold
that we awful hand we hold
COURSE OF A CASE.
"Cases," attachments without number are formed between young people at college, and they are very serious for several months. They don't see how they can stand it when they have to part in the spring, when everything else is just blossoming. But the fact is, they don't stick; very few matches heart must suit the life they, to be separated three months of the year, that's usually long enough. One or the other forgets. There is nearly always "a girl at home" who "comes back" stronger than the co-ed.
NOT EASILY INTERESTED.
A young college girl is usually a hard proposition to make love to, especially freshmen and sophomores—they are the most numerous. When they first come to school, their minds are full of their work, their careers, their duty to society and their mission in the world, and more rot than that. Which is perfectly right and proper, only nothing ever comes of it, and they are the ones who fall in love the hardest, when the time comes. Just now, love is beneath their consideration, fit only for high school girls, old maids and half-hearted school teachers. They believe they will never know love, and are glad of it. You can't interest the co-ed when you talk of love; change the record to Browning or John Stuart Mill.
DISILLUSIONMENTS.
Dominion over palm and pine—
let Lest we forget—lest we forget
But with the spring comes the trutn, and they all fall for it; only they fool themselves by thinking it is platonic love, and encourage it on that merit. And the boys—they are so completely deluded. They know their time is limited, and they must make haste. They boost their strong points too hard and tie their weak ones too instinctively. That "the man has instinct to too lovely to be—he'll surely die before he's thirty." And likely his father runs a laundry, anyway. So even in the soft bright spring morning, they each have their little doubts about "next fall". And whee
The tumult and the shouting dies—
and the Kings depart-
Still stands. This
Lo all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Ninehev and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!
Far-called, our navies melt away—
On dune and headland sing the
trees.
An humble and a contrite heart,
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!
And guarding calls not Thee to guard.
—RUDYARD KIPLING.
If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe—
Such boasting as the Gentiles use,
Or lesser breeds without the Law-
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!
For heathen heart that puts her trust
in reeking stone and iron shard—
AIH.
For Mercy on boast and foolish word,
For Mercy on Thie People, Lord!
For Mercy on Thie People, Lord!

Don't miss that extra good program at the Grand
the final quizzes are all done, and the trunks are packed, and the river rises over the tracks and the girl has to go three days in a dirty waist before she can get a train out, they take one last walk up the Hill, over by the Physics building, back down past the Chemistry building, out by the McCook to Henry street, up town to Weidemans, then back home. At last under the trained at the station, they clap hands, and he says huskily, "Be sure you are going to your home and she says 'Yes, and you get out on Parsons by the Fourth,' and the brute of a conductor yells 'All board.' And that's all.
She gets back in the fall—she hasn't heard from him for nearly a month—she calls up the Phi Delt house and a strange voice answers the telephone. "No, he's not coming back. His folks have moved to Minnesota, and he's going to stay at home this year. Won't I do?" And as she hangs up her duds and turns out the gas that night, she smiles and says to herself, "Yes, you'll do; I suppose anyone will do—and now."
VALUE OF READING
Expressiveness follows literacy. The poets have been tremendous readers always—Petrarch, Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Goethe, Byron, Keats; those of them possessed not much of the foreign languages had a passion for translations. It is amazing how little of a foreign language you need if you have a passion for the written in it. We think of Shakespeare as of a lightly-lettered person; but he was ransacking books all day to find plots and languages for his plays. He reeks with mythology; he swims in classical metaphor; and, if he knew the Latin poets only in translation, he knew them with that intensity of interest which can draw the meaning through the walls of a bad text. Deprive Shakespeare of his sources and he could not have been Shakespeare.-Atlantic.

Our most skilled campus gymnast, among the birds, is the ordinary Black-capped Chiekadee. He can swing head downwards from the tip of a branch, singing all the while in his industrious search for provender. The deepest snows do not cover up his table, but his bad days come when everything is covered with sleet.
He takes his name from his most frequent notes, but the call that draws more attention than his self introductory ones, is his off repeated "phoebe" call of two or three notes, with a minor interval between.

The chickadee, which Emerson calls a scrap of valor, does more than merely amuse us with his performances and pleases us with his song. His common economic value is ranked high by a well known entomologist. "A single chickadee" he writes, "has been known to eat as many as 450 insect eggs in one day," and 100 eggs eaten each day by a flock of 10 chicken. He is be destroyed each day and 100,000 during the winter." This is a conservative estimate which is believed to be considerably below the actual average. A. P. B.

"Well, Dean Johnston for one will play. He's heady, runs low and follows the ball well. Johnston is a tower of strength in the line.
*Perley Walker is particularly good in running interference. He must get in a little better condition before a match game however. He puts up a stiffer fight on a small court where distances are not so fatiguing.
"It is my opinion that students and younger athletes are apt to underestimate the power of the scoring machine which we have constructed, and for that reason we think it is wise to ask for a colleague game.
"The way Emerson and Redman show up is especially gratifying. I feel safe in predicting that they will be our chief point winners. Other can-tenders will be on the field but those who have worked faithfully are the ones I mentioned."
Do they practice? Certainly. Enthusiasm is so prevalent in our ranks that an early morning cross country run was planned last Monday. We couldn't go, on account of the snow, but the proposed jaint undoubtedly had gone. The police had gone, all of us would have solds now and be unable to play."
RECORD BROKEN IN FRISCO
Probable Olympic Representatives
Preform in Fine Form
Forest Smithson, of the Los Angeles Athletic Club, established a new indoor record for the 75-yard
low hurdles in San Francisco last week at an Olympic Club meet, making the distance in 9-15 seconds, the world's outdoor record.
Ralph Rose, of the Olympic Club also established a new indoor record when he hurled the 16-pound shot 50 feet 2 inches, beating his own mark. Con Walsh made good his boast he would regain his forehand grip and weight by hitting his target at a distance of 15 feet 91% inches.
The meet was held to help defray the expenses of the United States teams to the Olympic games at Stockholm, and a substantial fund was realized.
WILL SPORT NEW TOGS
The Athletes to Have Distinctive Uniforms at
The "K" men will wear jerseys with a large blue "K" and track pants with a red and blue stripe. The suits of the men who have not yet won letter will have a blue stripe. The suits of the K men and a jersey, with a red K, on each side of which be a small A.
Last
The Kansas track men will lack this year in the way of equipment. Last years suits will be discarded and the trackmen will appear in suits in which the Kansas red and blue will predominate.
The reason for this change in equipment is to enable the spectators to be able to distinguish the Kansas athletes. It is intended to make this style of game more fair and enough suits have been secured to uniform the teams for several seasons.
Chicago Won From Illinois
University of Chicago defeated the University of Illinois in a combination athletic meet at Bartlett gymnasium Friday night. Wrestling, fencing, bar work, and tumbling were the principal events. Styles of Illinois was the all round gymnastic star, scoring 265 1-10 points. Chicago won the mat bouts and the fencing events, 5 to 4.

BLUE SKY INVENTION HAS TOO MUCH SKY
Common Salt Is Not the Stuff Batteries May Be Made of
MUST STOP STOCK SELLING
Tests by Prof. Geo. C. Shaad Show Agents' Statements Are False or Misleading
The latest of the "blue sky inventions" which the University has tested is a "sailne battery". This battery according to its promoters, used salt as its chief ingredient, and is supposed to revolutionize the battery industry.
The results of tests made by the University and the generous statements in the company's prospectus, caused bank commissioner Dolley to restrain temporarily the company from selling stock in this state.
The tests were made under the direction of Prof. George C. Shad of the School of Engineering, and several statements made orally by the agents involved in the prospectus were found to be either false or misleading.
Among other things the cost of upkeep was under-estimated; the simplicity of operation was over-estimated, and the cell when used as a primary battery proved to be practically worthless. The difference in the health of the cells is also quite different from the statements made by the company in their prospectus.
PETER PAN IN A "KIMMEL MYSTERY"
Prof. Bailey's Cat Reported Both in Kansas City and
Lawrence
Peter Pan, Prof. E. H. S. Bailey's cat and its trip over the forty miles between Kansas City and Lawrence after its master had departed for Europe was told in the Daily Kansan a few days ago.
Now the Kansas City Star appears with the story that Professor Bailey left his cat with his son, Dr. William Bailey in Kansas City and Peter Pan is still there. The Star and seen the Kansan story of Peter Pan's famous tale like through the snow. All of which led the Star to conclude that Peter Pan is the original "Kinnel Cat," and that it has Ester Beatrice of the Middle ages faded forty ways."
Doctor Bailey is satisfied the cat has never left his house in Kansas City. The Kansan, feeling the burden of having influenced not only the sentiment of its readers but also the Star's, checked the matter up to the reporter who wrote the "Cat Story." This directed the eyes of the press on Mrs. J. W. O'Bryon lives next door to Professor Bailey on Ohio street.
Her story, if told before a jury would carry not merely the weight of circumstantial evidence for she saw with her own eyes the big white Angora cat sitting on the back fence a few nights after her neighbor took his renowned departure for Europe. Not only did the cat sit on the fence but he retired at a late hour and went to sleep in Professor Bailey's basement.
Mrs. W. C. Hoad, wife of the Engineering professor, shed light on the mystery when she called Mrs O'Bryon on the phone and asked if she had seen anything of her Ancora cat.
"Was it a white Angora cat?" Yes, and the only visible difference between it and Professor Bailey' was a small piece of fur missing or the right shoulder. Mrs. O'Bryer was satisfied. Mrs. Hoad is not for her cat did not stay in the Bailley basement, but moved to some other part of town, and is still among the "lost, strayed or stolen."

GLEE CLUB RETURNS FROM COAST SUNDAY
Professor Hubach Tells of Reception Given by Alumni Along the Way
The last report received from the Glee Club at Los Angeles says that the Kansas students will arrive in Lawrence Sunday morning. No concert was given in Los Angeles and several days were spent in sight-seeing.
In telling of the trip of the glee club,
Professor C. E. Hubach said that the greatest surprise to him while he was with the club was the enthusiastic manner in which the alumni received the boys.
In Amarilla, Texas, fourteen railroad men, old Kansas graduates, met the Gleer club at the train with regular, other students. The them to dinner at the Harvey house.
SELECT JOURNAL BOARD
Professor Hubach, said "The room, the tables, the guests and even the waitresses were decorated with the Crimson and the blue. That made the room so cool." He could hardly answer the eager questions of the Texas alumni fast enough.
Merle Van Martin Is Editor in-chief of the Law Journal
The temporary board of the University of Kansas Law Journal met yesterday to select student members for the permanent editorial board which will comprise the University of Kansas Law Journal Association. Each class will have two representatives in the association. From the senior class Merle Van Martin was selected as editor-in-chief and Frank M. Hyames as financial manager. From the Middle Laws W. T. Griffin was chosen as associate editor-in-chief and W. A Allen as associate financial manager.
The temporary board which made the selections consisted of: Ira C. Snyder-chairman; Professor Henry C. Hill; Professor H. W. Humble; Professor Wm. E. Higgins; Professor Merle Thorpe and Burton C. Sears.
The selection of members from the Junior Laws was deferred to a later meeting. Next year the man who was selected as associate editor-in-chief will become editor-in-chief and the one choice as special manager will be financial manager.

Farce Almost Completed—Music Composed by University Man—Will Provide* Seasonable Menu.
When Arvid L. Frank, manager of the first annual Sophomore Hopp, chose May 3, for the date, he was thinking of the full moon which will be on the job that night: "You know we have to close the Hopp at twelve o'clock, and you will go home so soon, so we thought it might be well to add another attraction."
Arrangements are almost completed for the Hopp and it promises to be one of the best entertainments of the kind ever given here. Ray Hall's ten piece orchestra will furnish the music, and this will probably be the only occasion of the year at which Hall's entire cohort will play.
The farce, which is almost completed is being written by the Sowers brothers. Arvid Frank has written the music. There will be an attractive menu, in keeping with the season of the year, and containin something substantial.
While it will be necessary to stop dancing at twelve, an elimination of the receiving line, which has formerly taken so much time, will make possible a program of from twenty to twenty four dances.
Any student can attend the Hopp upon the payment of a $2.50 fee, Seniors who have paid their Sophomore dues will be admitted free, and those who have not, will be required to pay $1.50.

The Laws declare that they would have fought anyway and the engineers say that they were ready, so there you are. Late reports indicate that with a compartment the big fight will be waged — but goodness knows when that will be.
STUDENTS OF PURDUE BOYCOTT STREET
Students of Purdue University have organized a walking club in protest against alleged poor service by the Lafayette Street Car Company, whose lines connect the city with West Lafayette, where the university is located. The students developed their walking precocilities when the street railway system was tied up by the storm last week. Then meetings were held, at which the students decided that they would not eat hardship in walking through doors and told the staff continue walking when the streets were clear. The demand for better service is unhelped by the Exponent, the college publication.
APPRECIATE READING OF COWBOY BALLADS
Engineering Faculty Meets.
The members of the faculty of the School of Engineering will meet in Marvin hall, Monday afternoon at 4:30.
Professor Lomax Told of American Folk Lore in Chapel
COWBOYS LIVED DREARY LIFE
Moved Students From Laughter to
Tears by Simple Plain Referring to Cowboy's Mother.
Prof. John A. Lomax, of the University of Texas, spoke this morning in chapel to the most appreciative crowd that has heard a chapel speaker here for a long time.
READING HELD STUDENT'S SYMPATHY
Professor Lomax recited verses from his collection of cowboy ballads, with suen naturalism and feeling that the audience of students were complete carried away. The first verses recited were highly humorous, some were even ludicrous. Then a pathetic little reference to the cowboy's mother came on the heels of a rough jest.
Here are some of the servers that Professor Loman recited;
The effect was marvelous. Not a student in the auditorium but felt the appeal of the verse, which on paper is ridiculously commonplace. Hardly an eye but filled, hardly a breath but came heavily.
In a narrow grave just six by three
"O bury me not on the lone prairee
Where the lone cayote will howl
'ter me
O bury me not on the lone prairie"
But the cowboy's appeal was in vain, for:
"We buried him there on the lone prairee
COWBOY THINKS OF HEREAFTER
And the blizzard beats and the wind blows free
'Oer his lonely grave on the lone prairee."
Where the owl all night hoots mountfully
"The cowboy's thoughts never stray completely away from the life after death," said Professor Lomax. Here is a sample:
"Last night as I lay on the Prarig
And looked at the stars in the sky
I wondered if ever cowboy
Would drift to that sweet by and by.
They say there will be a great round up
And cowboys like dogies will stand To be marked by the riders of judgment,
Who are posted and know every brand.
They say he will never forget you,
That he knows every action and book.
So, for safety you'd better get branded
Have your name in the great Tally Book."
Have your name in the great Tally Book."
But the stern realities of life were always with him:
I've been where the lightnin' tangled in my eyes
The cattle I coud scarcely hold Think I heard that
I want all brave men who ain't afraid to die
To whoop up the cattle from morning to night
Way up on the Kansas line.
COWBOY LED DREARY LIFE
"The Cowboy's life is a dreary life
Al out in the midnight rain
I'm almost froze with the water in my clothes
Way up on the Kansas line.
"But there were some compensations, life was not all gloom. Here is a joyous chant:
O give me a home where the buf-
falo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1912.
POOR RICHARD SAYS:
Troubles spring from idleness, and grievous toils from needless ease.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
'Twas a drastic and unforeseen action that the faculty of the School of Law took this week when it issued the edict that no more will laggard barristers be allowed to take a special examination after they have flunked the regular final quiz. Such an action has caused somewhat of a commotion among those in pursuit of legal lore and many are the conjectures as to the final outcome.
"Uncle Jimmy," it is said, thinks that the regulation should hardly apply to this year's senior class, but he gives fair warning to the other classes that in the future, terrible will be the punishment if a flunk is recorded in the finals.
The recent ruling of the law faculty will do much to eliminate this feeling—both among outsiders and undoubtedly among the young lawyers themselves.
This action of the law faculty really is a great step towards placing that School upon a better scholarship basis than it has been before. In every professional school there is a tendency to be lenient with the students; it is considered that they are mature, conscientious and thoughtful men and women who fully realize the purpose of their college course. This leniency has been misconstrued by some outsiders who consider the law course, for instance, a "snap."
ABOUT THE ANNUAL
To those who have a penchant for investigating and for reform and for fereting out alleged evils, the agitation recently started by certain members of the senior class, will appeal most strongly.
Reform has had its little day at the University, but it appears that it is not to die out, and that as a grand finale for this year's senior class, they are to probe deep into the management of the Jayhawker and are going to hang every shred of the present system upon the line where it may be inspected by a present as well as a future generation.
Under the plan now in use, the business manager of the annual has complete charge of the finances of the book and his only responsibility is to the general auditor of the University, and this inspection comes at the close of the year? He states that every contract that he makes may be seen at any time, and considering he is under a heavy bond he feels that he ought not be made to turn over all his financial matters to an auditing committee appointed from the senior class.
According to the action of the seniors they made the office of business manager purely honorary and the natural inference was that all profits or losses be borne by the class. Under the plan as it is at present the manager himself has been forced to assume a personal bond and he has no way of being assured of financial backing from
the class if there is a loss on the books.
In a student body such as is at the University, there must be a natural presumption that the officers elected are honest. The only thing to do, under the present condition, is to grant that the present officials are honest, and this statement those who are urging an investigation declare emphatically is true.
But what needs to be remedied is the fixing of the responsibility of the manager, and a naming of a specific salary that he shall receive for his services. The work for the seniors is to make their class, as a class, responsible for the financing of the annual; to establish some system whereby the finances of the book are at all times available for inspection; to fix a salary for the manager.
This is going to be hard to attain but the investigation that is being urged at present can do no harm. Whether anything better than the present system can be substituted is a question.
HELP ENTERTAIN
Coach Hamilton urges that all those fraternities, sororities, or clubs who expect to accommodate high school visitors, who will be at the University next week, shall report to him as soon as possible. He also requests that those boarding clubs will board the visitors at the usual rates, will inform him how many they can accommodate.
What the coach is striving after is to make the high school student see as much of the University life as they can while they are here. By this means it is hoped to instill in them a desire to come to this institution for their higher education.
Every University student ought to be a committee of one to see that the visitors are properly entertained.
COLLEGE LOYALTY
At a banquet of the Syracuse University Alumni Association of Buffalo, held last week, one of the speakers offered the following definition of college spirit and loyalty: "Loyalty is a fervent, practical, thorough, unwavering devotion to a cause."
The definition gets right down to the root of the matter and is worthy of careful study and thought. It is one which grows on the mind the more one thinks about it. Pick the compact little sentence to pieces. "Pervent devotion"—what undying enthusiasm this two words imply. They give the picture of victory, of a crowd of earnest, cheering students who have only one thought—that of devotion to the cause of the University whose name they love. Add to such devotion the practical results of thought and endeavor, of experience and judgment, and the picture in our mind begins to assume the aspect of something more substantial than momentary exultation. Then unite to this the thoroughness of planning, deep interest, and careful forethought, and crown the conception with that unwavering love which comes from constant attention and faithful support through victory and defeat. It makes beautiful thought, one which increases as we consider it, one which is, we must conclude, altogether worth while—Syracuse Daily Orange.

BE quiet now," said an old Nurse to a child sitting on her lap. "If you make that noise again I will throw you to the Wolf."

Now it chanced that a Wolf was passing close under the window as this was said. So he crouched down by the side of the house and waited. "I want to see you." It "it is sure to cry soon, and a daintier morsel I hadn't had for many a long day." So he waited, and he waisted, and he waited, till at last the child looked up. "Oh, that's before the window, and looked up to the Nurse, wagging his tail. But all the Nurse did was to shut down the window and call for help. When the house came rushing out. "Ah," said the Wolf as he galloped away.

CLEANING COLLEGE ATH-
LETICS
William H. P. Fauce, LL.D., in the Wisconsin State Journal.
The great need of college athletics in America today is common honesty. Without athletic sports, education in the highest sense is difficult or impossible. Libraries alone will not make men, laboratories alone cannot give us pluck, chivalry, and power of sacrifice.
But the great results achieved by athletics are today largely offset by well-nigh universal intercollegiate deception. Faculties are hood-winked, athletic committees kept in willing ignorance, but undergraduates know the facts. The undergraduates in the average college know that the athletic teams which represent that college are not what they profess to be. They know that the men on the baseball team are usually not eligible, and the men on the football team win too often by trickery and deceit.
MORE LIGHT NEEDED
THE REMEDY
Something may be expected from the Rhodes scholars on their return to this country. The thirty-five young Americans who recently entered Oxford, (the number will be double next fall), include some of our best athletes, and already they report their warm appreciation of sports conducted, not for the exhibition of "stars," but for the development of the weaker men; not for the gate receipts, but for the mens sana in corpore sano. Much may be expected from the sense of honor among the students themselves, which will make it some day as despicable to cheat on the athletic field as in an oratorical contest or a debate. Our appeal must be uli-
We need some man who will do college athletics what Lincoln Steffens has done for municipal government,—let in the light, and dissipate the incredulity which hinders reform. We need to forsake the Pharisaism which says: "Your college may be corrupt; we are pure." One eastern college recently underwent a quickening of senscience and the entire baseball team pronounced itself ineligible. At another New England college the attempt was deliberately made this year to secure admission for a famous athlete by means of forged entrance papers. But the trouble is not in any one institution. We must show to the world what every undergraduate knows,—that admission to the athletic teams is often secured by concealment of history, and victory is frequently won by evasion of rules. Such things mean a steady undermining of character in the formative years of manhood. An immense body of evidence is waiting the man who dares to investigate and expose, and this advent will be hailed with joy by hundreds of students who in their souls abor the duplicity which they today condone.
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
It is because our books are friends that do change, and remind us of change, that we should keep them with us, even at a little inconvenience, and then them drift in the world with a dusty asylum in cheap book-stalls.
—ANDREW LANG.

mately to the American people, who founded our colleges; who generously maintain them, and have the right to hold them to strict account. When the people come to understand what all students know, that athletic success is now largely won by the sale of athletes and the concealment of facts, then a revolution will occur and the college will become athletically what it now is intellectually—a temple of truth.
MORE "BLUE SKY"
The Blue Sky Law has begun to spread. Illinois is preparing to legislate against the ravages of the financial shark. Approximately $100,000,000 is lost each year in bad investments. In every rich farming community the "gold brick" agent flourishes. Only severe measures can protect the unsophisticated from his lures. In Kansas before the passing of the Blue Sky Law, 98 per cent of the investments in foreign mining, oil, realty, utilities, and so forth failed, the owners having no intention of every paying a dividend. The new law, requiring registration and publicity for all such companies, has driven them out of the state by the hundreds, in one year the numbers decreasing from 600 to 47—the 47 being able to stand the test of publicity.
Illinois will soon protect its citizens after the manner of Kansas Leading officers of the national state, and private banks of the state have been asked to join in the campaign against the fake investment companies. Through investigation and through exposure of these fraudulent concerns, it is expected that public opinion will be sufficiently educated to demand the passage of an Illinois Blue Sky Law at the next session of the legislature.
Other states should follow the example of Kansas and Illinois Let us protect all of our citizen from the preying of the financial shark—Wisconsin State Journal.
SOCIALISTS AT HARVARD
"The announcement by the Harvard socialist club of a series of tracts to be issued at intervals through the college year may be taken as a sign of an intellectual ferment of a sort that is good for any university," says the Harvard Bulletin. "The Bulletin has no views on socialism, or perhaps we should say on any of the socialisms for the creeds scattered under that name are many; but we believe it to be a healthy phenomenon that there should be a set of young men eager to study and propound new doctrines concerning the health of the body politic. If their radicalism is superficial, it will soon enough be choked by the care of this world; and if it be sound it will be so burdened by experience of affairs and in due time contribute its share to the unceasing change which makes progress in the life of a people. Radicalism which is blended with intelligence and kindness is one of the beneficent forces in working out the destinies of the nation; and a large body of young men which did not include a small and militant group of radicals would be a chilling place for generous visions and ideals." -Springfield Republican
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
SONNET
The World is too much with us; late and soon.
Given the spending, we lay waste
Little we see in nature that is ours
our hearts away, a sorid
dion boon!
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;
This sea that bares her bosom to the moon;
The winds that will be howing at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers;
For this, for everything, we are out of time:
It moves us not—Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn
So might I, standing on this pleasant
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea,
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.

BUT PROF. HIGGINS SCENTS SOCIALISM
Says State Employment of Lawyers Foreshadows State Control of All Business
In a recent address before the Bar Association of Milwaukee, Christian Dosherfer, president of that organization, stated that there is something wrong with the administration of the law in America today. He said that too much attention is given to the interests of the client, and not enough to the ends of justice. As a remedy for this condition, he suggested that the attorneys should be paid out of a public fund.
When asked today concerning his opinion of the proposition, Prof. W. E. Higgins said "If it is proposed to furnish an official prosecutor and an official defender, the individual party concerned in the litigation is deprived of freedom of choice in what society now recognizes is a state where the parties cannot permit the parties' liberty of choice, but to provide that the expense of litigation shall be borne by the state, then the volume of litigation will enormously increase."
"If private business in dispute by litigation is to become entirely the public business of the state, then the private business which gives rise to the matters in litigation must just as logically become the business of the state, and private enterprise be abolished. Without the proposed measure, the proposed measure, it appears to me that the proposal is but a step, in the direction of state socialism.

GEO. C. SHAAD TELLS HOW TO THAW PIPES
Explains New Method o Foiling the Plumber by Electricity
When the water pipes are frozen up and the plumbers are busy; use an electric current to thaw the plumbing. The severe cold weather this winter has caused this system to become prevalent in the north. An electric transformer with an alternating electric is needed. These are applied to the frozen pipes so that a circuit is formed; and thus quickly melt the ice.
"This method has proved to be satisfactory in the northern states," said George C. Shad of the Electrical Experiment Station yesterday, "but as a rule the pipes in Kansas do not freeze up like those farther north, and the plumbers here do not prepare for their jobs." The success of the University of Wisconsin has been given credit for inventing this method, over a decade ago."
There are two ways of thawing pipes by electricity—applying a local current through the transformer, and getting the current from storage batteries. The former is the more economic and satisfactory as the batteries are difficult to move from place to place. A local current however, is not sufficient for the plant or electrician. Terra Cotta drain pipes, non-conductors of electricity, can be thawed when a wire has been run through them.
The ordinary one-inch water pipes can be tawhed in a few minutes,but the length of time increases with larger pipes The actual cost of thawing is materially lessened, and the plumbers do not have to spend all their money and the electrician shares his profits.
The electrical method can be used in thawing any kind of pipes. Gas pipes when frozen can be successfully thawed without danger.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
HIGH SCHOOL BASKET TOSSERS COME IN
Entries for Interscholastic Tournament Increase over Former Years.
ENTERTAINMENT A QUESTION
Coach Hamilton Suggests That Former Students Look After Visitors From Their Home Towns.
Entries are coming in daily for the Fifth Annual Inter-scholastic Basket Ball tournament which will be held in the gymnastium March 15 and 16. Already about twenty-five high schools have manifested their desire to participate in the tournament and about a dozen more are expected to come in before the entries are closed.
This year will see a larger number of high school students gathered at the University than for any other one event throughout the year. The question now confronting the athletic authorities is that of accommodations, Coach Hamilton, manager of the meet said this morning, "We wish to entertain as many of the visiting students as is possible and we can do this if the students give us their co-operation. If the University people would take care of those students who come from their home towns it would relieve us of a great part of this difficulty. Last year this was done and the visitors ate lunch with the students. All that is desired is to give them a place to eat and sleep for the two days and one night they will be here. If any of the students would like to take some of their old high school's present members in with them and will let us know I will see that all necessary arrangements are made."
The gate receipts of the tournament will go towards helping defray the expenses of the teams during their stay in Lawrence. Last year $320 was given to the tournament. This was an increase of 50 per cent over the preceding year.
The schools which have thus far entered boys' teams are: Senece, Garden City, Halstead, Atchinson, Eudora, Burlington, Lawrence, Reno County, Salina, Baldwin, Winfield, Bonner Springs,ola, Newton, Edwardsville, Waukee, Mankato, will come from the following schools: Burlington, Chanute, Wamego, Sabitha, Reno County, Bonner Springs Hutchinson, Olathe, and Florence.
APPRECIATE READING OF COWBOY BALLADS
(Continued from page 1)
The Texas ranger was always a figure in the ballads of the west Here is a fragment;
"Though sore it may grieve you the rangers must leave you
Exposed to the arrows and knives of your foe,
For home to the states I'm determined to go.
So herd your own cattle and fight your own battle
"Here is the song that brought the most applause from the audience. It shows, perhaps, where the student and the cowboy have much ij common.
"O the cowpuncher loves the whis
tie of his rope
As he races over the plains,
the plains,
And the stage driver loves
the popper of his wrip
And the rattle of his concorde chains;
And we'll all pray the Lord that we'll be saved
And keep the golden rule
pulled the golden fule
But I'd rather be at home with the girl I love
Than to monkey with this bad burned mule.

Ober's HEAD-TO-FOOT OUTFITTERS
WILL THE COLLEGE TAKE PROFS' DARE?
"We certainly would like a shot at the Profs.", he said. "Personally, I would like to see whether their wind is as good on the basket-ball court as it is in the class room after the chapel whistle blows. I really think that we would wipe up
Members of the College five think the game should be played at once. One of them said this morning that he was confident the faculty team would meet defeat, though he realized that much had been done in the past week to strengthen the pedagogical aggression.
Student Team Anxious to Accept Pedagogues'
Opinions differ as to the attitude that the College basket-ball team should take in reference to the challenge of the faculty team which was issued recently.
Defi.
the challenge was a complete surprise to me," said Coach Hamilton this morning. "I was given no hint of such decisive action on the part of the professors before I saw the accounts in the papers. Personally I do not think the College team, should give them a game until they have played some team of recognized standing. I would suggest that the professors get a game with the Reds or the Blues."
the earth with them, that the game would be one-sided, in fact a regular slaughter of the innocents, but I imagine that I would like that. Also I hope the game is rough. Two of my dear instructors play on that team."
Meanwhile the professors practice, the College team worries, and the challenge of the pedagogues is in stat quo.
The after-dinner talks on Saturday afternoon will be given by Prof Merle Thorpe on, "High School Journalism," W. O. Hamilton on "High School Athletics," Prof. F. W. Blackmar on "Economies as a High School Subject," L. D. Whittemore on "Normal Training Subjects," Prof. D. C.

Preparing for the Big
Circus
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Have you ever seen a real circus aerobat manufactured from the raw awkward bumpkin to the finished graceful performer? If not, drop over to the gymnasium any afternoon and watch the processes that the would-be Barnnums are being put through in order that they may excel in their stunts in the big indoor Circus Maximus at the gym April 13. Under the direction of Mr. Anderson, we build a pyramid buildings, clown and concert men are rapidly learning the finer lines of the game and the results promised are exceeding all demands.
Not only acobats and clowns however will appear in the arena, as the Kansas National Guard has furnished sixteen of its best men to go through "The Gym" and the boy's asthetic and folk dancing class has twenty members.
About seventy-five men are working out every day and are divided up in the following manner; ladder and pyramid squares, twenty-七; Kansas National guardmen, sixteen; folk dancing class, twenty-clown and concert troupe, fifteen and special feature tumbling, four. Room one and three is occupied once the latter quartet and may easily be classed among the best amatures in the middle west.
There will also be a thrilling Japanese "Slide for Life" followed by slack and tight wire walking. The contortionist will not be left out, so when the acrobatic stunts are finished the audience may amuse itself by watching the "frog man" tie himself in a four-in-hand knot around an imaginary tent pole, while the animals cavort wildly on their front or hind legs, as the rooftop them. And this evening will no longer small part of the evening's entertainment. Every species of animal ever heard of from darkest Africa to coldest Siberia will have a representative and they will be as well trained as the best.
The concert after the show will be a feature, where the strains from watching the perilous performances of the "big show" will be relied by the comical and entertaining sayings and actions of the clowns and black faces.
The Circus Maximus is without doubt one of the largest single performances ever put on at the University and as all gate receipts are to be put into the Women's Dormitory fund it is desired by the directors that every student in the University give it their hearty co-operation.
COLUMBIA WINS IN EAST
Purdue and Wisconsin Dispute Leadership of the Big Eight
With the basket ball title of the Missouri Valley still hanging the teams in the Eastern League and in neighboring states have the opportunities of their respective sections settled.
This is more nearly true of the Eastern schools than of those in the west as there are two teams tied for the first place in the Big Eight. Purdue did not win either game and none lost but the Badgers with nine and no defeats dispute their claim.
It has been proposed that the two teams play a post season series of three games to determine to whom the title belongs, but the plan has not been arranged to the satisfaction of the prospective contestants at the present time.
The standing of the Big Eight is as follows:
W. L. Pet.
Purdue 10 0 1,000
Wisconsin 9 0 1,000
Minnesota 5 4 .555
Chicago 5 5 .500
Illinois 4 6 .400
Indiana 1 7 .125
Iowa 0 4 .000
Northwestern 0 4 .000
The Columbia five secured themselves in first place by defeating Penn. early in the week. Dartmouth defeated Cornell who was her nearest position with a win. Yale clings to last position with a ring of nine defeats and a lone victory.

HIS WEEK
VOLUME IX
PAN-HELLENIC WAS A HOWLING SUCCESS
Smoker Staged Saturday Night Tickled Fraternity Boys Almost to Death
"MOVING PICTURES"A FEATURE
Vaudeville, Burlesque and Minstrels
Indulged in to Great Delight of Both Audience and Performers.
Every element of the stage, from the moving picture show to the dramatic climaxes of melodrama, were presented by the eight fraternities at their annual Pan-Hellenic smoker, Saturday night. It was without a doubt the best smoker ever put on by the fraternities, and if Martin Lehman could have seen some of the productions, he would probably start them on the Orpheum circuit next week.
Burton Sears, president of the Pan-Hellenic association, started the fireworks with an address of welcome.
Following him, came the reproduction, of a melodramatic moving picture show by the Beta's. Howard Wilkoff very vividly explained the exciting story of "Willie La Dee Walker" accompanied by Henry Campion on the traps, and Sidney Walker on the traps, who brought out the many climaxes by the aid of their instruments.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 11, 1912.
Charles Younggreen, Lawrence Morris, and Lecture Carter presented Phi Kappa Psi with an act of mixed vaudeville which in the fifteen minutes allotted to them represented the imitations together with the younggreen's imitations together with the original songs which he and Morris rendered, were one of the hits of the evening.
Alpha Tau Omega was well represented by E. W., Wingart, who, although he put on their whole show, made up for lack of numbers by his clever imitations of Irish and Italian characters, and quick changes on the stage.
At this stage of the program, the audience disbanded and met in the dining room, where they enjoyed a one course banquet consisting of two sandwiches and a pickle.
"That's Harmony," presented by Phi Gamma Delta, was another hit. Claude Sowers gave several difficult selections and imitations on the violin, accompanied by Baldwin Mitchell on the piano. Westle Fuller in his black face imitation, singing his song, "That's Harmony" was especially good.
Having alleviated their pangs of hunger, the audience again assembled in front of the stage, and A. W. Hosier and O. L. Connell, representing Sigma Chi, put on a sketch entitled "Stranded." They represented Julia Marmlowe and E. H. Southern out of a job. Their jokes added spice to the act.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon presented a skit entitled "Tewenty Years Later," representing several of the prominent students as they will appear at that time. It was very clever and the times were much enjoyed by the audience.
"Foot Ball ad Futurum," played under the modified rules and regulations of the Men's Sisters Board of Governesses was the Phi Delt stunt. The contest between the Vassar Boys and the K. U. Dormm Chaps led by Isaaca Lambert and Gilberta Frith was very amusing.
The Sigma Nus finished up the program with a minstrel show. Many clever local lakes and songs were given act as a whole was a distinct success.
Who is The Most Popular Hoosier?
"The Daily Student," the Indiana University newspaper, is holding contests to find out the most popular men students and women students, the most studious student, and others entitled to honorable mention for some reason or another. Their next contest will be to find out the ten most handsome men, as selected by five co-eds, one from each of the five sororities.
Freshmen at Northwestern are subject to several rather unusual regulations. They may not use automobiles or cabs in the college town, must limit the depte of their trouser "cuffs" to four inches, and in addition are forbidden to smoke pipes or to smoke cigarettes in public.
Mrs. Shila Ellsworth-Burlingame ex. '06 from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma is visiting at the Chi Omega house.
CUP IS DONATED FOR
PAN-HELLENIC DEBATE
Replaces One Won by Alpha Tauus last Year—May Debate on Practical Education.
The Pan-Hellenic Council has decided that the annual debate shall be continued this year as usual. The cup which was debated for, for several years was won last year for the third time by the Alpha Taus, and now belongs to them. An alumnus of the university who desires that his mane be not mentioned, has given the Pan-Hellenic Council a cup to be known as the "debatteur." The question to be debated upon this year has not been definitely decided upon, but there has been some discussion concerning the question of whether preparatory school education should be more practical instead of theoretical.
200 "HIGH" STUDENTS GUESTS OF UNIVERSITY
Twenty-Four Schools Represented in Annual Basket Ball Meet
Seventy-five girls and 121 boys from 24 high schools scattered throughout the state will be the guests of the University Friday and Saturday for the fifth annual inter-scholastic .basket ball tournament. Arrangements as yet have been only partly completed to take care of the teams when they arrive. The Kappas will take care of girle from Hutchinson and the Phi Gams will help entertain the team from Atchison.
Manager Hamilton is planning to give some form of entertainment for teams before they leave. He is anxious that any one who can help take care of any of the visitors should let him know at once.
The preliminaries for the boys' teams will begin Friday morning at 10 o'clock. The preliminaries for the girls' teams will begin at 2:30 in the afternoon. Saturday evening the finals for both teams will be played.
Two handsome loving cups will be given to the winning teams. The teams winning second place will each be awarded a fine basket-ball. Foliage will be presented to the winners will be represented and the number of players coming with each team:

THIS SATUP LABEL HAD
NO USE FOR THE TRUTH
Prof. H. L. Jackson of the food analysis laboratories, has received a sample of catup from a man living in a near-by town. An analysis showed that the catup was well preserved, as it contained 24-100 of 1% of benzote of soda. The manufacturers had been very liberal in this matter as the label called for 1-10 of 1% of the preservative or less than half what the catup contained. Because of this conservative estimate on the part of the label, an affidavit was made out against the manufacturers and sent to the office of the State Board of Health in Topeka.
Sigma Delta Chi, the newspaper fraternity, held its annual banquet last Friday evening at the Hotel Kupper in Kansas City. A number of former University graduates were present. Initiation was held after the banquet for Russell Clark Stanley Pinkerton, George Marsh Robert Sellers and George Edwards. Von E. Bryant, a graduate of the University of Missouri and now a special writer on the Kansas City Times, was made an honorary member of the fraternity.

DEAN JOHNSTON'S TEXT-BOOK READY
Dean of School of Education Has Edited the Work, "HighSchool Education"
IS THE FIRST IN THE FIELD
Many Authorities Contribute, Amon
Them Three U. of K. Professors,
Carruth, Walker, and Kester
Prof. Charles H. Johnston, Dean of the School of Education, has just received notice that his recent book entitled "High School Education" is now off of the press.
The following is a partial list of the authorities who contributed chanters to the book:
Dr. C. L. Jackson, instructor in history of education, University of Michigan.
The book is intended primarily to appeal to all serious students of the modern high school, and it may be used as a text-book in secondary schools of education. Professor Johnston is the editor of the book and it contains contributions by the best authorities on the problems of education in the country. It is a cooperative study by experts, following out a uniform plan of treatment of all administrative, supervisory, instructional and socialistic activities of the high school as an institution and it will undoubtedly fill a long felt want as there is now no text-book which is adequate for this broad field.
Dr. C. O. Davis, assistant professor of education, University of Michigan.
Dr. E. C. Elliott, professor of education, University of Wisconsin.
Dr. L. C. Karphski, assistant professor of Mathematics, University of Michigan.
Dr. F. E. Kester, head of the department of physics, University of Kansas.
Dr. J. E. Mills, former associate professor of chemistry, University of North Carolina.
Dr. Arthur S. Pearse, assistant professor of zoology, University of Michigan.
Wm. J. Sutherland, president of the State Normal, Platteville, Wisconsin.
J. V. Denney, dean of Ohio State University.
publie - speaking, Knox College.
Dr. A. T. Walker, head of the Latin department, University of Kansas.
Dr. W. H. Carruth, head of the department of German, University of Kansas.
Walter Sargent, professor of Fine and Industrial Art, University of Chicago.
Dr. A. S. Warthin, professor of pathology, University of Michigan.
SOUP IS SOUPREME
Even the Utilitarian Bean Is Vanquished in Contest for Popular Honors
Copies of the book are expected here within a few days.
Our "Beautiful Soup" may not be "so rich and green" as some, but it is the most popular dish at the Cafeteria anyway. Tomato, bean or celery, it makes no difference which Delicious roast-beef and delightful baked beans may literally cover the counter but these are all overlooked and the order comes in, "Soup, soup soup."
Is soup brain-food? Or why is it that in the first, the first of the series of quiz weeks, all the "digs" who save time by eating at the Cafeteria crave it? And pie is running sour a close second. In fact it is hard at times to tell which are going to win, the pie-eaters or the soudrinkers. Last week the soups won by a tureen and a half, and the contest this week is being watched with much interest.

HE KNOWS A GENUINE DIAMOND FROM A PASTE
Mr. Kunz, Gem Expert of Tiffany's, Lectured in Fraser Last Friday
If Cleopatra should look into the show window of a modern Parisian gem dealer she wouldn't know she was looking at gems" said George F Kunz, head gem expert at Tiffany's in his illustrated lecture on "Gems" given in Fraser hall last Friday evening.
"The diamond as a precious stone," he continued "is less than three hundred years old, and the increasing demand is so great that there are practically no second hand diamonds on the market."
R. G. Allison returned today from Baldwin, where he attended the Alpha Chi Omega spring party Friday evening.
Mr. Kunz showed almost a hundred slides illustrating the values of different gems and showing, especially, the cutting of diamond designed to give the greatest refraction of light by mathematical calculations. The Cullian diamond was shown on the screen both in the original and after cutting. This diamond was presented to the sienna crown by the Rar government. It was brought into two large one hundred and twenty eight small stones. The largest of these now adorns the British crown and the others are ornaments on the monarch's sword.
Mr. Kunz, is returning to New York after a western tour in the interests of the National Park association of which he is president.
Lawrence Meissner entertained about twelve of his friends at an informal party last Saturday evening. Games furnished the chief amusement. Light refreshments were served.

VIVE LA INHERITANCE TAX!
VIVE LA CONTRACT LABOR
Debating Club Convinced Judges of Soundness of These Two "Propositions," Friday Night.
The debaters at the K. U. Debating Society meeting Friday night convinced the judges that a system of inheritance taxes is a desirable source of revenue for the state, and that a system of direct employment of city labor should not supplant the present contract system in municipal public work. W. T. Griffin and Ross who got the decision were the advocates of the inheritance tax and Fairchild, Bennett, and Steinsmeyer were the ones who opposed it Edwards, Guilfoyle, and Mortor argued for the contract system against Adair, Gorsuch, and Cairn who were for the direct employment plan. The latter won.
EARTH UP EARLY TO QUAKE THIS MORNING
Lawrence Felt Shock at 3:30 O'clock---Probably Came From West Indies
Did you know that an earthquake wave passed through Lawrence today before you got up? The seismograph at Fraser hall recorded its presence at 3:30 o'clock this morning.
The preliminary waves continued for over seven minutes, but the main waves did not arrive until 3:36 The reason for this difference in time is because the preliminary waves pass directly through the earth while the main waves follow the crust or surface of the earth.
By a system of mathematics used by the professors of the department of chemistry, the locality of the earthquake was placed as occurring somewhere within a radius of sixteen hundred miles. The exact locality could not be definitely located but probably will be found to have occurred either in the West Indies or Guatemala, Mexico.
As to the strength of the earthquake and the amount of damage done it will depend on the locality of the scene of the disturbance. However if it had occurred at Lawrence the state of Kansas would probably be at the expense of building a new state institution. The total time of the quake was 44 minutes.
COFFEE DRINKERS BEWARE OF THE CHICKENY ROOT
Laboratory Analysis Finds Many Coffees Adulterated With "Weed"
Allied With the Dandelion.
Do you know real coffee when you see it? Did you know that the familiar beverage is often adulterated with a root known as chicery?
Did you know that the familiar beverage is often adulterated with a root known as chicory? The Red Harvey News Co., which has an extensive system of restaurants and hotels, has sent samples of coffee to the department of drug analysis thinking that it was adulterated because of its action on their containers. While the coffee sent in by the Harvey Company proved to be pure, Dean L. E.Sayre said this morning that several coffees had been condemned because of the presence of the root.
"It is practically impossible to distinguish chicory without the aid of a microscope." Professor Sayre continued. "While a certain degree of roasting will cause pure coffee to attack some kinds of containers, it is a fact that chicory has been used as an adulteration."
Chicory is allied to the common dandelion and is used in coffee because it is cheaper. Its taste is bitter.
CHAFING DISH EXPLODES;
TWO WOMEN BURNED.
While attempting to pour alcohol into a chafing dish, last Saturday, two students at 1340 Tennessee, Mildre Manley and Arizona Johnson were burned slightly about the head. The flame in the lamp was not extinguished as they supposed and when more calceol was poured in, the flame flared up in the pan, freshed and containing several pennants in the room caught fire, but the fire was soon extinguished. The girls were more frightened than hurt.
GLEE CLUB IS ON HOME STRETCH NOW
Is Expected Back Home Tonight, But One Can Never Tell
WELCOMED BY LOS ANGELES
Former Regent Thomas W. Potter
Principal Speaker at Banquet
Given by California Alumni
A telegram was received yesterday evening by the Phi Psi's announcing that the Glee Club would arrive in Lawrence at 7:30 this evening. The message was from Robert Campbell, and he stated that the club had stopped off at the Grand Canon "to see the sights."
The glee men were expected to return Saturday evening, but those who were down to meet them when the train pulled in $ _{1} $ were disappointed. All day yesterday various people interested in the singers were asking, "Where is the Glee Club?" Many thought they were snow-bound and others conjectured that they had been ensnared by a number of California beauties.
A communication from the Publicity Committee of the Kansas State Society of Southern California at Los Angeles, was received by the Daily Kansan today and the recent concert of the University Glee Club was commented upon most favorably. The gleemen apparently made a decided hit with the western brethren who have strayed far from the fold, and everything that California could produce was given to the Jayhawkers.
The following is the account of the reception given the boys while in Los Angeles. The Daily Record of that city carries the story;
"The Glee Club of the University of Kansas was tendered a banquet by the resident alumni and former student of the University at the rooms of the Metropolitan Club, Monday night, March 4th. Thos. M. Potter, formerly a regent of the University was the principal speaker. On behalf of the local alumni association Mr. H. H. Huntsberger welcomed the Glee Club to Los Angeles.
"D. C. Kemp, who was a member of the Kansas Glee Club from 1906 to 1909, also gave a short talk, and complimented the present Glee Club upon their successful tour and the excellent program which was given in full for the benefit of the alumni association."
REAL BUTTER FOUND AT BOARDING CLUB!!
However, Professor Jackson Assures Us That It Is a Very Low Grade
The life of the food inspector is not always pleasant. This may be a matter of individual opinion, but how would you like to work on a few samples of boarding club butter?
That is exactly what Prof. H. Louis Jackson was up against last week. A student here in the university desiring to know what kind of material his club's butter really was, took a book to it to Professor Jackson to be analyzed.
An analysis showed that the sample was real butter but of a very low grade. As butter cannot be placed upon an old age pension list, and as there is no reward for its faithful service during the period of high prices, the student is at a loss to know what to do about the matter.

The March meeting of the University Council will be held Tuesday, the twelfth, at 4:30 o'clock, in room 116, Fraser hall.

POOR RICHARD SAYS
A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things.
THUMBS DOWN
What a wonderful and yet laudable tory spirit of daring was exhibited by a quintet of University pedagogues last week, when they entered the local basket-ball arena and with flashing eye and much show of bravado, hurled an open defi to the wearers of the College colors, and offered to meet them in a matched game at any time, at any place and with a side bet of any amount. It is no wonder that University circles are engaged in the most reckless kind of conjectures as to the outcome.
If the College team regains sufficient composure to accept the challenge from the professors, it is expected that the game will draw the largest crowd since President Taft spoke in the gymnasium. A fast, heady team, experienced, hardened by rigorous training, possessing, as the students vouch, wonderful staying qualities, also a world of wind the professors have every advantage, and there is little doubt as to the outcome.
What chance has the College team against a quintet of veterans that will wear the white, the blue, and the pink—the assembled colors of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xi? Meanwhile the challenge is unaccepted and the scholastic goal tossers are nervously awaiting word from the astonished Collegians.
In behalf of two thousand students and more, the Daily Kansas desires to urge the staging of this contest. This is the only time at which a student can do what he feels is justice to his professor without being funked into kingdom come. The professors will ask no odds and surely the College will offer none.
On, then with the contest! Unleash the dogs of war, and let gore and carnage be on every side Thumbs down and no retreat!
Tom Thompson, whose name has been a household word in Kansas for twenty-five years, is referred to by the University Kansan as "C. H. Thompson." What does Mr. Thomas think of that? -Kansas City Star.
he happens to know that there are two Thompson, at least, in Kansas. Furthermore he takes a natural pride in the fact that the C. H. Thompson whose article the Daily Kansan printed is a worthy son of his dad and an efficient help in making the Howard Courant one of the most readable writers in the state.
How fitting it would have been, had the "Big Nail" of the Antarctic regions been discovered by an American, since this is the year when so many campaign lies need nailing.
Another "Oldest Student."
Salina Wesleyan has the distinction of claiming the oldest student in Kan-
den. He attended a college ed school at the beginning of this
semester. Mr. Smith has three daugh-
ters attending the same college.
EDITOR SPEAKS
George Marsh of the Daily Kansan Tells Some Things About News.
For the mutual benefit of the editors, reporters, and readers of the Daily Kansan, perhaps a word regarding the making of the paper—the order in printing, typesetting, and the rooms and the time that the forms are put to press—may well be said here;
It is a difficult job to perfect the newgathering force and organization of a daily student paper, and in the past some readers may have had reason to tell me they are interested in seeing the story that interested them particularly, appear in the evening paper.
This failure is due, often, to the late hour the copy reached the news editor's desk. For a story concerning Miss Somebody's visit with friends in town or Someone Else's trip to Topela to appear in the paper, the copy should be in the hands of the news editor by half past ten in the morning. Such items are placed on page three in the column headed "Between Classes." Page three is prepared for the printer at exactly eleven-thirty every morning. Not a little after nor a little before, but at eleven-thirty. When something happens in the evening, the story covering it should be handed in at the office early the next morning—the earlier the better.
Announcements that go in the regular column provided for University notices should be placed in the hands of the news editor by eleven o'clock in the morning. This is the last column on page three and is held open. Notices that come into the office later may not be placed there, and they may appear in the paper only in case the number of announcements is so large as to warrant a column of late announcements on the fourth page.
The stories that are of interest to sport readers must be handed to the Sporting editor, Mr. Miller, in the morning so that he may send them to the composing room by twelve o'clock. None of Mr. Miller's stuff is used for the day that is sent out to the composing room after twelve o'clock.
Twelve o'clock also is considered the " dead line" for all stories that will take position on the first page. The material for such stories must be handed to the editor by noon with the exception of only a few cases where it is impossible to get the story to the editor at an earlier hour.
The Daily Kansan goes to press at a quarter to three in the afternoon. All copy must be in the hands of the printers by two o'clock and composition for the day's paper stops at two-hirty.
Some time is required thereafter to make corrections in the type that has been set and plan the appearance of page one.
Therefore, all those who, at any time have occasion to turn stories into the Kansan office will confer a favor upon the editors by regarding these rules and attempting to hand in their items as quickly as possible, thus insuring the chances of seeing the story appear in that day's paper.
We are trying to cover the "hill" as thoroughly as possible, and with the aid, in this way, of all the University people, the news service that the Daily Kansan affords its readers will be doubly increased. Remember, that although the reporter does not always get names spelled correctly, and sometimes gets the facts in the case twisted, he is always trying to get them right and your indulgence and patience may be the means of making all that appears in the Daily Kansan correct and reliable.
GEORGE MARSH,
Managing Editor
The departments of horticulture and plant pathology of the University of Wisconsin have moved into their new building. The building is a two-story and basement brick structure, 48x128 feet, and with attic space for laboratories. The cost of the building was $60,000, exclusive of the four green-houses, potting-house and pathogium, situated in the rear of the building.
LION had come to the end of his days and lay sick unto death at the mouth of his cave, gasping for breath. The animals, his subjects, came round him and more and more helpless. When they him on the point of death they thought to themselves: "Now is the time to pay off old grudges." So the Boar came up and drove at him with his tusks; then a Bull gored him with his horns; then a lay helpless before them; so the Asl. and the danger, came up, and turning his tail to the old Lion kicked up his heels into his face. "This is a double death," growled the Lion.

SHAKESPEARE'S SCHOOL
William J. Rofile in "Sharespeake the Boy." Schoolboys in that old time appear to have been much like those nowadays. They sometimes played truant. Jack Flagstaff in the First Part of Henry IV, (ii. 4. 450) asks: "Shall the blessed sun of heaven prove a吗her and eat blackberries?" Micher, meacher, or moocer is now obsolete, though the practice it suggests is not; but a contemporary dictionary of Provincial Words and Phrases gives this definition of the word: "Moocher—a truant; a blackberry moucher. A boy who plays truant to pick blackberries."
Idle pupils in those days often "made shift to escape correction" by methods not unlike those known in our modern schools. Boys who had been taught their lessons would "prompt" others who had been less diligent.
One of these fellows, named Willis, born in the same year with Shakespeare, has recorded his youthful experience at school in a diary writer later in life which is still extant. He tells how, after being often helped in this fashion, "it fell out on a day that one of the oldest scholars and one the highest form fell out with him" "upon occasion of some boys' play abroad," and refused to "prompt" him as aforetime. He feared that he might "fall under the rod," but, gathering his wits together, managed to recite his lesson creditably; and "so" he says, "the evil intended to me by my fellow-scholar turned to my great good."
How William liked going to school we do not know, but if we are to judge from his reference to schoolboys and schooldays he had little taste for it. In As You Like It (ii. 7, 145) we have the familiar picture of
and in Rome and Juliet (ii. 1, 156)
the significant similes:—
. "the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
Gremio, in the Taming of the Shrew (iii. 2. 149), when asked if he has come from the church, replies: "As willingly as e'er I came from school."
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
"Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books.
Unwillingly to school;"
Sooth to say, the schoolmasters of that time were not likely to be remembered with much favor by their pupils in after years. There is abundant testimony to the severity of their discipline in Ascham, Peacham, and other writers of the 16th century.
SCHOOL DISCIPLINE
But love from love, toward school with heavy looks."
Thomas Tusser tells of his youthful experiences at Eton in verses that have been often quoted:
*From Paul's I went, to Eton sent,
To learn straightways the Latin
phrase,
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
Books are delightful society. If you go out and take a walk, often you will encounter them down from their shelves, they seem to speak to you, seem to welcome you, seem to tell you that they have something inside of you, that they love you, and that they are willing and desirous to impart it to you. Value them, and endear you to turn them to you.
—W. E. GLADSTONE
When fifty-three stripes given to me
    At once I had;
For fault but small or none at all
It came to pass, thus beat I was.
See, Udall, see the mercy of thee
To me, no need!!
To me, poor lad!"
Nicholas Udall was the master of
Ston at the time.
Peacham tells of one pedagogy who used to whip his boys of a cold morning "for no other purpose than to get himself a heat." No doubt it warmed the boys too, but it is not recorded that they liked the method.
Some of the grammars of the period have on the title-page the significant woodcut of "an awful man sitting on a high chair, pointing to a book with his right hand, but with a mighty rod in his left." Lilly's Grammar, on the other hand, has the picture of a huge fruit-tree, with little boys in its branches picking the abundant fruit. I hope theurchins did not find this more suggestive of stealing apples than of gathering the rich fruit of the tree of knowledge.
Mir. Sidney Lee remarks: "A repulsive picture of the terrors which the schoolhouse had for a nervous child is drawn in a 'pretie and merry interlude' entitled The Disbedient Child, compiled by Thomas Ingeland, late student in Cambridge; about 1560. A boy who implores his father not to force him to go to school tells of his companions' sufferings there—how
'Their tender bodies both night and day.
Are whipped and scourged, and beat like a stone.
That from top to toe the skin is away:'
and a story is repeated of how a scholar was tormented to death by his 'bloody master.' Other accounts show that the playwright has not gone far beyond the fact."
We will try to believe, however, that Master Hunt of Stratford was of a milder disposition. Holofernes seems well disposed towards his pupils, and is invited to dine with the father of one of them; and Sir Hugh Evans, in his examination of William Page, has a very kindly manner. It is to be noted, indeed, that in few of Shakespeare's references to school life is there any mention of whipping as a punishment.

COAL IS PLENTIFUL,
SAYS PROF. HAWORTH
State Geologist Says Lots of Fuel Is Right Under Mt. Oread
WATER-POWER IS OVERRATED
So Unreliable it Can Never Supersede Coal and Fuel Oil as an Energy Producer.
Are you one of those pessimists who keep insisting that the world's coal supply is about to become exhausted? If so, here is balm for your anxieties. Prof. Erasmus Haworth, State Geologist of the United States, found coal deposits in Douglas County alone to last the whole county several hundred years.
"Of course," said Professor Haworth, "very little of this is being mined now, for with the railroad facilities we have, it is cheaper for the consumer to buy coal that is shipped in. But we have it here, nevertheless, in case of emergency. I fail to see why some people talk of the coal supply giving out. There is coal everywhere. Why, in Wyoming along there is coal enough to last the United States a thousand years."
In commenting on a statement recently made by Dr. Richard C. Maclaurin, president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in which he asserted that coal was fast becoming a thing of the past as a power producer, Mr. Haworth said: "The idea is abused. To be sure, water power is developing to a wonderful degree, but at the same time we should not ignore the terrific amount of oil and coal that is being consumed as fuel.
"Combustible material always has been and to a great extent always will be, the chief source of heat and power. Producing electricity and power by water is really applicable to but comparatively few places. Not a drop of water which falls in Nevada runs out of the state. Much the same conditions prevail in Utah. How, then, can we talk of trans-continental trains run by water-generated power?
"Last year 24,000,000 barrels or oil were used by railroads alone for fuel, out of the 210,000,000 barrels produced. The yearly consumption of coal in the United States is approximately 500,000,000 tons. Figures don't lie. While water power is coming rapidly to the front, it is applicable more for certain things an in certain places.
"Our own power plant here in Lawrence has a duplicate fuel system, so that when the water fails as a power producer, as it does nearly every year, the power may be generated with oil or coal.
"So we needn't worry after all. There is no immediate danger of our having to go cold in the winter time."

THE NUTHATCH CAN CREEP LIKE A FLY
Head Downward Along Tree limbs He Goes, a Living Death to Bug Pests
It must be a topsy-turvey world that the white-breasted nuthatch looks out over, for his peculiar power of climbing head downwards on the trunk of a tree, or crawling along the underside of a limb like a fly, enables him to get some unique bird's-eye views of nature.
No climbing bird is more nimble or active than Sitta Carolinensis Carlonensis, as the scientists call him. His long hind toe enables him to engage in more trying exercises than the woodpeckers or creepers will attempt, even with the added support of their tails.
He is a bird of tree trunks, rather than the underbrush, and makes a living by eating hibernating insect pests. He is smaller that the English sparrow. His familiar house cry of "yank yank," is often the first notice of his presence. Cold and snowy weather is his delight; as the mercury goes down his spirits seem only to go higher.
He is a Plain-clothes Bird.
The he is a Plain-clothed bird. The bird can be easily recognized by his black underparts, the black patch on his back and crown and his white underparts.
UNIVERSITY CALENDAR
He is usually a resident where found, but drifts slightly south in the winter from his nesting site. More frequently in some deserted woodpeckers hole, than his own excavation, his mate lays sometimes as many as 10 white, blue-flecked eggs.
Their peculiar name, nutchatch is derived from their habit of hacking open nuts, which they have wedgeed in the bark of trees, with their strong gusts. A. P. B.

Leavenworth High School, March 7—When the students of the Leavenworth high school arrived at school this morning the large numerals '13 met their gaze. The figures were painted in white and were about four feet high. The numerals were placed on three sides of the chimney. The painters left no clue to their identity. This is a custom that has been observed in the school for many years, although forbidden by the school authorities. Last year three members of the class of 11 "11 were suspended for doing this but it is very doubtful whether or not the guilty ones will be found this year.

After his two years of college he was twice county treasurer and has since engaged in the zia mining and the telephone business with success. He said today, "If you get the chance, by all means go to K. U. You'll never regret it. I look back upon my two years there as among the most pleasant of my life. Maybe I didn't learn a great deal, but the acquaintances I formed were invaluable, and I think my mind was broadened to a great extent and I acquired a broader outlook of life. And I believe that's one of the chief benefits of a higher education."

Snow Postpones Field Day
Abilene High School, March 7—W. O. Steen, county superintendent of public instruction, head of the association in charge of the Dickinson County Field Day, has decided to postpone that event until April 13 as April 12, the former date, is one upon which meetings will be held at most of the rural schools of the county. Another reason is the fear that the snows will not have melted sufficiently to allow outdoor practice by the various teams.

K. U. TOE TWISTERS TOOK SECOND PLACE
Roberts Tied K. C. A. C Champ in Middle Weight
Class
"Cully" Roberts, the champion middle weight wrestler of the University, brought home second money for the Kansas grapplers at the K. C. A.Tournament held in the Athletic Club's gymnasium Saturday night. Roberts' match with Victor Schutte, the Blue Diamond champion, be beaten by a eighteen-minute struggle. In all the other classes, the Club men were victorious.
All the finals, with the exception of the light-weight class, went the time limit and were decided on points by the referee. In the earlier matches that were determined on points there were several dissenting opinions on two of the matches. In the light-weight class there was a question; his decision between Schutte and Miller, of Nebraska, and in the light heavy weight class the spectators in general believed that Hemphill of K. U. more than held his own against Bundy of the Athletic Club.
Carl Pleasant, 1909 football captain, won the light heavy weight title. He had a hard battle in his preliminary contest and won over his op辱on only after a hard fought battle. In the second contest, fifteen minutes of work won the decision for "Pleas". This was the roughest match of the tournament.

THE WORLD'S BIGGEST CLOCK
Two Men Work Five Hours to Wind "Big Ben."
Big Ben is the largest clock in the world. It is on Westminster tower, London, and was put up in 1858 at a cost of $110,000. The great bell from which the clock takes its name, and which is made to ring regularly by the clock, hangs by sixteen hundred feet of chain from an oak beam bound in iron plates. It weighs more than thirteen tons and the hammer with which the hours are struck weighs four hundred and fifty pounds. It takes two men five hours to wind Big Ben. Its four faces are twenty-three feet across and the minute-hand jumps half a foot every move.

News Item—Determined to carry out its campaign for "purity" in athletics, the eligibility committee of the University of Minnesota barred William Pearce from the basket-ball ball because he received a dollar many years ago for a race won at a picnic.
JOY TO THE HEART OF THE FAN---MAYBE
Missouri Valley Conference Will Permit Summer Ball--Perhaps
It is probable that the "whitewash" system will be adopted by the Missouri Valley Conference in reference to the eligibility of college baseball men, and if the rules submitted are passed upon the efficiency of all M. V. teams will be greatly increased. The committee after investigating existing affairs for nearly two months have handed in a report to the conference officials and a mail vote is now being taken to decide on the final ruling.
It was suggested that the rule governing summer baseball whereby a student must refrain from playing baseball during the vacation months except on his home team where no gate fee is charged should be stricken out. The chief changes suggested were:
"That a student shall be ineligible to represent his college in athletic contests who engages in such contests as a representative of any athletic organization not connected with his college except where he may participate in occasional games as a member of his home team.
"That most of the technical violations of the amateur rulings in the past, for good reasons, may be overlooked and the offending parties reinstated.
"In order that this plan may be put in practice it is further agreed that each conference athlete in order that he may become eligible for further inter-collegiate participation, shall sign a statement of his athletic experience, up to date, on a uniform conference blank.
"That it is understood that participation in baseball teams under the ruling of the National Commission, or on so-called outlaw teams, or teams of a similar professional character shall preclude reinstatement under this plan;
"It is suggested that a student committee be elected by the students to concur with the faculty committee on matters of eligibility.
"That the signed statements of a given institution may first be submitted to its student committee in order to give that body opportunity to co-operate with the conference committee in removing from its lists the students who, in their estimation, do not warrant being reinstated.
"That all signed statements, excepting those already acted upon by student committees, shall be submitted to the conference eligibility committee through each faculty committee. The conference eligibility to pass upon each individual case according to its merits.
"That the conference eligibility committee shall present its findings to each institution. An acceptance letter should be sent as the final act of reinstatement.
The above rules have been submitted to the conference officials and Prof. C. E. McClung, president of the conference, is now receiving replies through the mail. The final decision will be announced as soon as all of the members of the conference have handed in their votes.
"That if it is found at any time that a student misrepresented his signed statement or has subsequently been found guilty of participating in athletic contests contrary to the spirit of the amateur rule as interpreted by the Missouri Valley conference, he shall thereby be incompelible and subject to the discipline committee of his institution."

THE WINTER WREN IS THE CLEANLIEST BIRD
Wee Feathered Sprite Takes Her Daily Plunge Froman Icy Brink
When the shift of the bird migration begins in the fall, and our familiar little house wren hurries south, she is no sooner gone that her niche here is filled by a near relative of hers, Nannus hiemalis hiemalis, the Winter Wren.
This bird only frequents the homes of men when driven by sharp hunger, for it is aisy, and prefers to live in timber, or nearbybrought overgrown stone walls, close by running water. For one of the peculiarities about the winter wren is its fondness for its daily bath. Even when it has to stand on a rim of ice, it will duck and splash its diminutive body in the ice cold water.
Those who have heard its love song in the north, for it does not sing with us, speak highly of its vocal power. It makes the woods wivirate with its liquid echoing song, so loud that it is almost impossible to locate the singer.
While records have been made of its nesting as far south as Ohio, its usual in breeding grounds are much further north. There in the damp woods, the hollow of some stump, or among the branches of a tree, the worm makes up her feather bed in a roofed over nest, that is entered from the side in true wren fashion. A. P.

NOTHEORY AT ILLINOIS
While Athletic Reformers Rave. Director Huff Gets
Results
George A. Huff, director of athletes at Illinois, will introduce general athletics among the university men on a large scale this spring. While many have advocated a policy for a diversity of sports and the interest of more students, Huff has worked quietly until the way is now clear.
It has remained for the varsity sports to provide funds for the plan. While educators have argued that the non-competing student was being slighted, no funds were ever offered to defray the expenses of the suggested system. Director Huff therefore utilized the scant, but steady profits from varsity sports and bought an athletic field which cost $20,000 and is the property of the athletic association, not of the state.
A twenty team baseball league, composed of five teams from each of the big colleges will fight out a championship. Outdoor basket ball will likely be established, many students having urged that more space be given for the sport. Track athletics will be the third sport adopted.
The new field will be available this spring. Coincident with its opening, large plans are being made to interest the 3,000 men of the university.
In the past class athletics have been conducted on a more or less hap-hazard basis but all this will be changed. There will be a board in charge. Class numerals will be awarded and coaches for various sports will be selected. It is believed that varsity teams will receive indirect benefit by the development of stars who would otherwise have been permitted to remain undiscovered. Director Huff conferred with the student leaders this week regarding ideas and means to inaugurate the new ideas.

BASE BALL SQUAD REDUCED TO 25 MEN
Lack of Floor Space Causes Cut in Diamond
Try Outs.
The base ball squad has been reduced to twenty-five men. This is not intended as a permanent cut, but to give the coach and men who were retained more room to work until the team can get onto McCook field.
"Men not included in the squid picked Friday and who wish a further trout may report to me when out-underwater," said Coach Sherwin this morning.
On account of the lack of room offered for early indoor baseball practice and the number of men trying out this year Coach Sherwin was forced to make a cut in the number of base ball aspirants. This cut was made after the men were given a thorough test of their base sliding and fielding ability. By retaining fewer men the will be more effective in individual attention to the men out of whose number the varsity will be chosen.
The following men were retained, pitchers McCarthy, Walker, Busick, Marsh and Ammons, catchers, Ogden, Binkman, Charlesworth and Siebert, first base, Hicks and Porter, second base, Coolidge, Krebhil, Holiday and Deichman, third base, Ward and White, short-stop, B. Wilson, out field, Moore Densmore, Crandall F. Wilson, Ebother, Lynch and Stoll.
IOWA TRACK MEN CALLED
Hawkeye Prospects Poor For a Winning Squad This Year.
The call has been issued for track candidates at Iowa University.
The men will not be asked to begin work indoors, but will be expected to start light training with a view to getting into condition when the weather opens up outside. Prospects are poor for any kind of a winning track team, and the student body in general has lost interest in the situation.
The only profitable point winners in sight just now are former Captain Wilson in the hurdles, Streeter in the hammer throw, Captain Jans in the quarter and Gableman of last year's team. The squad of new material is coming out, and something may be expected from it, but not a great deal.
PLAYED WITH BROKEN RIBS
Purdue Basket Ball Star Finished Season in Spite of Injuries.
A modern Spartan has been found in the person of Joseph Malarkey, and Indianapolis boy, who has starred at Purdue all season with two broken ribs. No one but Coach Jones knew of the lad's trueilment.
Purdue has played and won nine games in the conference this season and Malarkey has been in the game every minute of the time, shooting sensational baskets from the field. Next to Captain McVaught, the Indianapolis boy was the real star of the championship quintet.

Wasson of Notre Dame, Injured by a Batted Ball, Cannot Compete This Year.
Because of lack of funds there still is some doubt whether it will be possible to send a team from the United States to defend the world's championship won by the American team at the last Olympic games in London four years ago.
WESTERN BROAD JUMP
CHAMPION DOWN AND OUT
Some doubt existed on the question of the amateur status of some of the Americans, who might participate, but the committee says no, rifleman from the United States will be barred unless he is employed in testing and sighting rifles for a living.
MILITIA MARKSMEN ELIGIBLE
Winners of Money Prizes May Compete in Olympic Games
The Olympic committee at Stockholm has informed the National Rifle Association here that officers and men of the army, navy, marine corps and militia and those who have taken part in matches in this country where money prizes always are given will be eligible as amateurs, under its interpretation of the rules, to participate in the Olympic games.
The Notre Dame track team may be without the services of James Wasson, the champion broad jumper, who is suffering from a painful injury. While passing through the coliseum, where the baseball mer were at practice, he was struck by a batted ball.
The injury, though painful, is not regarded as serious. However, Wasson will be out of the Ohio State meet and also the meet against Oberlin.
The doctor has declared that he will do no broad jumping this year and that if he gets on the track all he can be counted on only to pick up a few points in the sprints.
BASEBALL AND GYMNASTICS
Purdue Has a New System for Baseball Workouts.
Coach Nicol of Purdue has his baseball men hard at work in the gymnasium and in addition to real baseball practice they are getting considerable gymnastic exercises.
They are being taught to get away on a slide by vaulting over horses placed lengthwise, the men being required to run hard, then leap into the air and throw themselves upon the horse. This not only teaches them to leave their feet quickly and twistily, but it'll help up the muscles of the ankles and makes them springy and elastic.
In the batting cage the men are getting a workout in batting, throwing, fielding, and running. No cut will be made in the squad until outdoor work begins. There are many candidates for all the positions and plenty of battery material.
WASHBURN TO ENTER COLLEGE AERO MEET
Washburn College will enter the annual intercollegiate balloon race at Kansas City next summer, if present plans are carried out.
The Intercollegiate Aeronautical association will hold its annual race among the clouds in Kansas City this year, that is, the start will be made there, the landing place being left undecided for obvious reasons.
The high-flyers have heretofore included only such institutions as Yale Princeton, Harvard, Cornell, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Williams and Dartmouth. Now the king and queen has驻锡 state and Washington is about to attain the dizzy heights.
Mr. W. L. Jacobs, of the Western Aero club has offered Washburn the use of the club's balloon, "Topeka II," and will pilot the air-craft himself if the students will furnish an aide.
College Exposition at Wisconsin.
An exposition will be held at the University of Wisconsin on April 19 and 20 in the new annex to the gymnasium. It is intended to have practically every department of the university represented, including descriptive of the work will be on display. This will include student affairs as well as regular departments of the university.

Glee Club Descended on Foot Into Grand Canon of Colorado
THEN HAD TO GET BACK OUT
On Record Breaking Run From Arizona to California, the Men Had to Hold to Their Seats.
It was a tired but happy bunch of minstrels that returned yesterday from a three weeks' tour of the West, during which time they sang in twelve cities between Lawrence and Los Angeles and started half a continent talking about the excellence of the Kansas gleenem.
All of the Glee club returned except Harvey Phillips who took a sid trip to his home in Boulder, Colorado, in order to wear his dress suit at his sister's wedding next Saturday. Professor Hubach, director was also in the original party, but was called home while the club was in New Mexico by the death of his mother.
Many and strange are the stories told by the wanderers and over their books today they are dreaming again with their friends the happenings of the trip.
The visit to the Grand Canon of the Colorado on the return trip was one of the most interesting features of the entire journey to the members of the Glee club. The entire club followed the trail down the side of the canon to the banks of the Colorado. At the point where they viewed the canon there was almost a perpendicular drop of 6,000 feet.
The boys made the trip on foot and it required a little over an hour and a half to make the descent. The trail was about three feet wide the greater part of the way, and in the words of one of the singers, "as steep as the Adams street hill all the way." In places the trail was cut out of the rock. The climb up the side of the canon was made in between three and four hours which was considerably better than "the mule time."
The trip down the canon was considered the most wonderful part of the trip, but from the different members' accounts, the Harvey House meal followed took the most prominent place in the eyes of the hungry Kansas youths.
BROKE 23-YEAR RECORD.
Not satisfied with breaking the record of all student organizations in the distance travelled from the University, the club undertook to break a record of twenty-three years' standing by the Santa Fe, over the road between Williams, Arizona, and Needles, California. The distance was 153 miles. Owing to heavy snows there was no train from the east and Manager Kates was afraid that his travelling minstrels would be too late to give their scheduled concert at Needles, so a special engine was hooked on the private car, and the engineer started his record-breaking run.
It was down-hill all the way and a drop was made from an altitude of 7,000 feet to one of 400 feet. Several of the boy sat or arched "hung" on the rear vestibule of the car. A game of what inside the coach had to do could not always manage the cards, and were busy holding themselves in their seats.
Bob Campbell timed several miles, and for a while they were travelling 70 miles an hour. The run was quite a "feather in the engineer's cap." The brakeman said afterward that in his twenty years of experience he had never made such a run.

Professor Jackson Says They Are Useless Unless People Demand Enforcement
WONT ENFORCE THEMSELVES
Manufacturer May Lie in Letters
Half Inch High. If He Prints
Truth as Fine as Lace.
That the pure food law, like any other law, will not enforce itself; but that its effectiveness depends on the watchfulness and intelligent interest of every citizen, was the theme of Prof. H. Louis Jackson's chapel address this morning.
"When the law was first passed, manufacturers who were making strawberry jam by combining glucose, starch, grass seed, phosphoric acid, a chemical preservative and a coal tar dye and those who were selling pepper which contained seventy-five per cent of ground olive pits, were ag ash. The ink was not dry on the act before it was given fifty-seven varieties of treatment to make it harmless.
THE ETHICS OF THE CASE
"The ethics of the act, as the man- manufacturers put it, were expressed in the following doggeral:
Thou mayst tell in letters a half inch high
high,
All thou wilt of thy clever lie;
Provided only, in some other place
Toull tell the truth in print as fn
Last year Professor Jackson at tended hearing before the Board of Food and Drug Inspection at Washington, where adulteration of vinegar was discussed. As a result of that hearing, it is announced by the Washington officials that water may be added if only the manufacturers will say so and the per cent need not be stated.
NEGAR ALWAYS GIVES TROUBLE "Vinegar has always been one of the hardest products to keep straight, and with these new advantages I feel that the manufacturing interests are in the ascendency. But if the vinegar may be watered why not milk? Why not dilute coffee and tea with harmless bark or shells?"
Professor Jaccison thinks that public interest will be a check on the further misuse of the law.
NEW YORK HAD TO ASK KANSAS FOR ENGINEER
W. S. Kinnear, C. E. '07, to Become President of Construction Company
W. S. Kinnear, who obtained a C.E.
degree from the Graduate School in
1907, is to resign as president of the
Kansas City Terminal Company and
will accept the presidency of the United
Realty Real and Construction Company
of New York at a salary of $50,000
a year.
Mr. Kinnear has a son, Lawrence W., who is a sophomore in the School of Engineering and a member of the Beya Thets Pi fraternity.
Chancellor Will Go to St. Louis.
Chancellor Frank Strong leaves this evening for St. Louis to attend the meeting of the Religious Education Association. The Chancellor has been invited to address the students and faculty of Washington University.
The building of the Detroit River tunnel was the first work of importance which Mr. Kinnear pushed to completion. It was a unique tunnel, as the engineers dug a trench in the river bed, displaced the water temporarily, and laid the cylinders of steel and concrete in the excavation, instead of tunneling under the river, as is usual in each work. It was accompanied with Mr. Kinnear. The construction work in connection with Kansas City's new Union Station has been under the direction of this alumnus of the University since August, 1910.

UNIVERSITY RESPONDS TO CALL OF STATE
Three Professors This Week Helping Cities With Municipal Problems
Snow fell on seven days in the month, the total being 5.85 inches.
5 inches of which fell on February 25.
C. Prentiss Donald 08, captain of the football team in '06, visited friends at the University Saturday and Sunday. The former Jayhawker star is in the engineering department of the Rock Island railroad at Topeka.
Responding to the call of the state, three University professors are visiting a half dozen cities this week, giving scientific advice in sanitary engineering. The professors are Hoad and Haskins, of the Sanitary Engineering Department and Sherwood of the Department of Bacteriology, and the cities which called them are Burr Oak, Augusta, Cherryvale, and Lyndon. Mr. Haskins, yesterday and Saturday, made an investigation of the location and sanitary character of a proposed new municipal water supply at Burr Oak.
Nellie Taylor, who has been visit ing at the Theta house, returned to her home in Kansas City, today.
Today, Professors Hoad and Sherwood are in Augusta testing out the new municipal water filtration plant at that place. This is a new plant built for the purpose of treating Walnut river water and although small is thoroughly modern in type and character.
TEST FILTRATION PLANT.
Tomorrow, Professors Hoad and Sherwood will make a similar test of the efficiency of the new municipal jail. Cherryville, only recently completed.
Donald Visited University
The Cherryville plant," says Professor Hoad, "is one of the best in the state. The new water supply of the city is taken from the Verdigris river and is pumped overland about six miles into a reservoir on a hill-top from which it flows by gravity through the filteration plant into a filtered water reservoir, from which it is again pumped into the city mains."
Both these filtration plants were designed and built by Worley and Black, consulting engineers of Kansas City, Missouri. Both Mr. Worley and Mr. Black are University of Kansas students in Civil Engineering. Mr. Worley will represent the city in the conduct of the tests
In addition to their work in the University, Professors Hoad and Haskins are engineers for the State Board of Health and Mr. Sherwon is bacteriologist of the Water and Sewage Division of the State Board.
Mr. Haskins at the request of the mayor and council of Lyndon, will go to that place on Thursday to advise with them regarding a new waterworks system which they propose to build, including a filtration plant similar to those at Augusta and Cherryville.
Mr. Haskins will address a public meeting on filtration in Lyndon, Thursday evening.
tomorrow, Mr. Haskins will join Professors Hoad and Sherwood at Cherryvale to assist in an investigation of the sewage purification plant.

Afterward, the remains of the parents were soaked up from the soil, into which they had disintegrated, by the tobacco plants which the boy, now a man, had planted. He sent the tobacco off to the East where it was made into cigars, and plug tobacco.
When Prof. John A. Lomax of the University of Texas, was here last week, he collected several cowboy ballads from the students. A large number were handed to him and several were accepted.
One of the most unique was submitted by William W. Ferguson, a junior in the College. It was sung at the University last year by John Freed, of Scott County, Kansas, and is entitled "Saddletown."
At last we have him smoking the cigars and chewing the plug that had been grown from the dust of his parents' bodies. Part of the ballad is as follows:
He does not ween the nicotine Is the life-blood of his mother. So let him smoke and let him joke And let him show his gold
"He knows not that his cigar is Is the thigh-bone of his father,
Poor man, God knows, cannot suppose
The fearful thing he did "
"The ballad 'Saddletown,'" said Professor Lomax, "is certainly unique. I know of no other like it. It has all of the romantic and imaginative qualities of the old English ballads, and the peculiar by frank and cheerful gruseness of the treatment is reminiscent of the cowboy type. But the story is certainly new, ans is undoubtedly American in it's origin."
Frank F. Maret also handed Professor Lomax a ballad, which he liked very much. It was a Wyoming song, and very characteristic of the wild and gruesome type.
BIBLE INSTITUTE TO START NEXT FRIDAY
Presidents King and Sander of Oberlin and Washburn Will Lecture
Students Get Good Rating From Lawrence Dunns and Bradstreets
The purpose of the institute is to give the students in particular, and the public in general, a chance to become acquainted with some of the leaders of religious thought and activity of this country.
The seventh annual institute for religious education will be held at the University of Kansas from March 15 to March 21 inclusive.
Since the institute started seven years ago, the University has had as speakers Prof. G. H. Palmer, of Harvard, Dr. Lyman Abbott of The Outlook, Prof. Hugh Black of the Union Theological Seminary, Dean Shailer Mathews of Chicago, Dr Washington Gladden of Columbus and President Frank K. Sanders or Washburn College.
The speakers this year will be two men very well known for their work among students, President Henry C. King of Oberlin University and President Frank K. Sanders of Washburn. President King will give a series of lectures on "Religion as Life" and President Sanders will discuss "The Apocalyptic Writings and Ideas of Judaism and Christianity."

Little Loss to Anyone by Trusting University Men and Women— Improvement in Recent Years.
"I have been in business in Lawrence for forty years and I have never lost a dollar through my student trade. I find that the students, or rather the girls, for they constitute my portion of the student trade, never fail to pay their bills and are unusually prompt," said Mr. George Ines, senior member of the dry goods firm of Innes, Bullene and Hackman, when asked his opinion of student trade.
Many persons think that with the coming of the first of the month come also the trials and tribulations of the Lawrence merchants. This fact however was disproved this morning when several of the leading merchants gave their opinions concerning student trade, because they believed that them was that students as a whole make a better credit business than the average citizen of Lawrence.
I like to deal with students," were the words of B. J. Gustafson, the jeweler. "My greatest trade is with University people and I find that they want above all things good quality. I don't believe that I have actually lost one dollar in giving credit to students and as an average they are more prompt in paying their bills than any of my other trade."
H. B. Ober, who has been in the clothing business in Lawrence for seventeen years, gave his approval of student trade in the following manner. "At least one half of my business is with people connected with the University and though they are more critical I find them to be among my best buyers. My trade grows with the University and I could think of nothing longer than we have only students as custodians. That makes it easier habits of trading in Lawrence is shown by my large mail order business with former students. Once in a long while I have a fellow 'beat his bill,' but this occurs very seldom."
The University Book Store in twenty years has never refused credit to a student, J. G. Gibb, the owner, said this morning, "I never send a collector into the student district and yet I seldom have trouble in getting full payment on all student bills. Sometimes it takes a man a long time to pay up but in the end I never lose. It used to be that the University people, especially fraternity men, were exceedingly poor pay. Now, however, conditions have exactly reversed themselves and I never feel more safe than when extending credit to people on the hill."
"Do I like student trade?" repeated A. D. Carroll with his jovial smile, Mr. Carroll is the owner of the Smith's News Depot and deals exclusively with the men students of the University. "Yes," he answered with emphasis and continued. "Students are fine customers and I have never lost a single cent through them during the whole time I have been in business. They have always made me their policy to give have always made it my policy to give the same to them."
E. S. Peckham, one of the owners of the Peckham Clothing Co. which operates in several Kansas towns, said, "I never count student debt as an actual loss. Sometimes it takes a man a long time to pay me, but eventually he pays off." As a general rule, however, the students pay up promptly, though sometimes the so-called 'social lions' of the hill are a little slower than the others."
"My entire trade is with the students," said D. L. Rowlands, owner of Rowland's College Book Store. "My losses in the last five years could easily be covered by an average day's sale. Perhaps half of this loss comes from items too trivial to waste postage on. It has been my policy to extend credit whenever possible, but the students do not seem to realize that slow payment on their part greatly inconveniences me in settling with the wholesale. However I find the hill trade very pleasant and I have never yet run up against a student who would willingly defraud me."

THE NEWS OF OUR GLEEMEN
THE NEWS OF OUR GLEEMEN The Glee club returned yesterday from the longest trip that any organization of the University of Kansas ever has made, a trip filled with the good time that young men can have on such an occasion and one that offered the opportunity to give the people of the West a correct impression of the real college man of Kansas.
No better organization of young men could have been selected for this trip both from the viewpoint of the University and of the Santa Fe railway company, which selected an organization of singers who could give real entertainment for the members of their railway clubs in the West.
The Daily Kansan kept in touch with the club, told us the social reception that was given the members and the success of their concert. And it is only the good stories—stories that told what the students wanted to know about the trip, the enjoyment that the men were having, what they did, the amusing features—that were sent to the Daily Kansan by Hal M. Black a member of the club, that enabled us to keep in close touch with the traveling glemen.
Everyone enjoyed reading the reports of the gleeman, and the Daily Kansan is deeply indebted to Mr Black for his work and wishes to extend thanks for his services.
FAVORITE FICTION
"Rapid street car service."
"Dismissing classes on time."
"I had my note book ready to hand in when it disappeared."

WHAT ARE THE DOCTORS
DOING?
The Daily Kansan has attempts to gather the news of every department in the University, but never have any stories from the University Hospital at Rosedale, been printed in the news columns of the paper.
The clinical department of the School of Medicine has been left out of the student publication partly through the fault of the editors and partly through the fault of the students themselves. It has been taken for granted, evidently, that the students, when they leave Lawrence, lose interest in student activities here, so a record of their life has not been kept by the undergraduate publication.
This should not be, and the Daily Kansan will attempt to keep alive the interest in the University activities of the students who go to Rosedale, and make the student body here better acquainted with the enterprises carried on at the University Hospital. In order to accomplish this, a Daily Kansan correspondent
is necessary, one to whom others there, may tell of the things that happen and who has time for writing the news notes and mailing them to the office. The position is open for any student at Rosedale who wishes to report the activities there for his University paper.
ABOUT COLLEGE SUCCESS.
"What is college success?" That is difficult to answer but we think it can be summed up fairly well as follows: A man is successful in college when he has attained recognition in some one or more activities followed about the campus, and his degree of success depends upon the degree of that recognition. A man can not be considered a college success who has simply been successful in his work in classes, because all of us are here for that purpose, and our measure of success must be over and above the standard of class work. It is the man who does his work plus the other activities and pursues both to success, that is the college success. It holds true also that the man who neglects his real purpose in college for the "outside activities" is not a college success, no matter what recognition he obtains in the activities.
We also believe that there is a formula for success which is just as true and trite for college as it is for the outside world. Work and stick to one thing until you get there. The man that spends his energies over too many activities is handicapped for success in any one of them. It means an all-round mediocre, not superior in some one or two things. But the chief reason for failure is the lack of willingness to work. College success like any other success its not attained by mere brilliance or capability. If you wish to succeed in college, then choose one line of activity and work. Then later if, on looking ahead, you can see time and opportunity, broaden out into other things, but get somewhere first. "To him that hath it shall be given" is true here as everywhere else. Therefore concentrate your energies until you get something, and keep on working.—DAILY CARDINAL.
SAME OLD FUSS
The newspapers have been making their annual fuss over the number of blue slips issued by the registrar as a result of the first semester's work. The number issued this year is slightly in excess of the number issued in previous years though nothing unusual—Minnesota Alumnus.
Anna Augusta Brown, former student of the University, is now practicing architect in this city. She makes a speciality of "homey" bungalows.
FARMERS OF ANTIQUITY
Varro, who came about three score and 10 years before the dawn of the Christian era, was an outsider captured by the illustrious Caesar on one of his raids. He devoted his life to gathering all the agricultural knowledge existing, and wrote what is considered the most important work on agriculture. His works, like those of Columella, the earliest of A. D. writers, have been preserved entire, and these great agricultural writings, with the addition of a few modern phrases like "cover crops," "dry farming," "ugmest," "humus," etc., selected from collections that virtually the same purport, differ but very little from myriads of books written in the last few years by all kinds of folks, from those whose knowledge of agriculture consists entirely in their ability to strike the right spot in out big reference libraries up to those who are authorized to string a goodly portion of the alphabet behind their names.—Long Island Agronomist.
THERE was once a young Shepherd Boy who tendered his sheep at the foot of a mountain near a dark forest. It was rather lonely for him a short time, upon a plan by which he could get a little company and some excitement. He rushed down towards the village where the villagers came out to meet him, and some of them-stopped with him for a considerable time. This pleased the boy so much that a few days afterward did come from the forest, and be again the villagers came to his help. But shortly after this a Wolf actually did come out from the forest, and before all of course cried out "Wolf, Wolf!" still louder than before. But this time the villagers, who had been fooled twice before, thought the boy was already dead. So soon they came to his help. So the Wolf made a good meal off the boy's flock, and when the boy complained, the wise man of the village said;

COMFORT FOUND IN GOOD OLD BOOKS
George Hamlin Fitch, in the introduction to a volume of his literary studies, published soon after the death of his only son, gives, in words throbbing with huju-ju, that he had been boy's college days and the father's delight in him and his desolation after bereavement.
In college he tided scores of boys over financial straits; his room at Stanford University was open house for the waifs and strays who had no abiding-place. In fact, so generous was his hospitality that the manager of the college dormitory warned him one day in sarcastic vein that the renting of a room for a term did not include the privilege of taking in lodgers. He never met any of his students. He never joined a Greek letter fraternity because he did not like a certain clanishness that marked the members; but among Fraternity men as well as among Barbarians he counted his close associates by the score.
RESTRAINT AS AN EDITOR
He finished his college course amu-
trying circumstances, as he was called
upon to voice the opinion of the great
body of students in regard to an unj
ust ruling of the faculty that involved
the suspension of many of the best
students in college. And through arbitrary
action of the college authorities
his degree was withheld for six
months, although he had passed all his
examinations and had had no warnings
of any condemnation of his independent
and manly course as an editor of
the student paper. Few boys of his
age have ever shown more courage
and tact than he exhibited during that
trying time, when a single violent edi-
torial from his pen would have resulted
in the walking out of more than half
the university students.
LOST ASSOCIATIONS
Now that this perennial spirit of youth is gone out of my life, the beauty of it stands revealed more clearly. Gone forever are the dear, the fond-remembered holidays, when the long summer days were far too short for the pleasure that we crowded into them. Gone are the winter walks in the teeth of the blustering ocean breezes, when we "took the wind into our pulses" and strode like Berserkers along the gray sand dunes, tasting the rarest spirit of life in the open air. Gone, clean gone, those happy days, leaving only the precious memory that wets my eyes that are not used to tears.
LOST ASSOCIATIONS
And so, in this roundabout way, I come back to my library shelves, to urge upon you who now are wrapped warm in domestic life and love to provide against the time when you may be cut off in a day from the companionship that makes life precious. Take heed and guard against the hour that may find you forlorn and unprotected against death's malignant hand. Cultivate the great worthies of literature, even if this means neglect of the latest magazine or of the newest sensational romance.
NOT ALL BOOKS WORTHY
Be content to confess ignorance of the ephemeral books that will be forgotten in a single half year, so you may spend your leisure hours in genial converse with the great writers of all times. Dr. Eloit of Harvard recently aroused much discussion over his "five feet of books." Personally, I would willingly dispense with two-thirds of the books he regards as indispensable. But the vital thing is that you have your own favorites—books that are real and genuine, each one brimful of the inspiration of a great soul. Keeps these books on a shelf convenient for use, and read them again and again until you have saturated your mind with their wisdom and their beauty. So may you come into the true Kingdom of Culture, whose gates never swing open to the pedant or the bigot. So may you be armed against the worst blows that fate can deal you in this world.
WHEN THE SOUL IS ATHIRST?
Who turns in time of affection to the magazines or to those books of clever short stories which so amuse us when the mind is at peace and all goes well? No literary skill can bind up the broken-hearted; no beauty of phrase satisfy the soul that is torn by grief. No, when our house is in mourning we turn to the Bible first—that fount of wisdom and comfort which never fails him who comes to it with clean hands and a contrite heart. It is the medicine of life. And after it came the great books written by those who have walked through the Valley of the Shadow, yet have come out sweet and wholesome, with words of wisdom and counsel for the afflicted. One book through which beats the great heart of a man who suffered yet grew strong under the lash of fate is worth more than a thousand books that teach no real lesson of life, that are as broken cisterns holding no water, when the soul is athirst and cries out for refreshment.

Purple Cow
Among men of New England strain like myself it is easy to labor long hours, to endure nervous strain, to sacrifice comfort and ease for the sake of their dear ones; but men of Puritan strain, with natures as hard as the flint granite of their hillsides, cannot tell their loved ones how dear they are to them, until Death lays his grim hand upon the shoulder of the beloved one and closes his ears forever to the words of passionate love that now come pouring in a flood from our trembling lips.

The government alone spends on the average $150,000 at Haskell every year. The students all have spending money. Haskell and its students are liberal customers of Lawrence merchants.
This represents a comfortable asset for a city. It is worth more than several fair-sized factories. It is an item to be considered by those who are looking for a good business location.

But According to Dr. Redman, It's Hard to Make Him Learn
RESPONSIBILITY IS NECESSARY
Industrial Fellow Who Tried It Says Enforced Class Attendance Does Not Develop Character
Dr. L. V. Redman of the industrial chemistry department is emphatic in his ridicule of the system of compulsory attendance to classes which is in vogue in the majority of our American colleges. Dr. Redman was educated at the University of Toronto, from which some of the greatest men in science and letters of America have come.
The method in use there is that in their freshman year and part of the sophomore the students are required to attend class with the up-</sup> it, so option.
"What is a university for," demands Dr. Redman, "if it is not to train the students to become real wives and women with no responsibility to themselves at least?"
"No person upon first receiving hi-
freedom knows how to conduct him-
self properly and that is the reason
that at the University of Toronto
the student is gradually brought into
the duty to himself and his fellows.
"It isn't the mere attendance to classes and the obeying of the rules of the university that make real men. I have known fellows who went through their four years collegiate course and never broke a rule or scarcely missed a class who are not worth the snap of your fingers today.
"Take Woodrow Wilson for instance. I am not a politician and don't care whether he gets elected or not but I certainly admire him as a man. When he was in school he had the reputation of being exceedingly irregular in his attendance to classes and the vengeance of the faculty was brought down on his head more than once. His time was spent, however, in digging out deeper stuff in the library. A man like Woodrow Wilson is worth ten thousand of the average students of today.
"It it isn't grammar school methods we need. It is a system by which we can train men to be dependable. If a fellow can't be relied on to attend classes at least when be becomes a junior he should be kicked out. We have too many nambypambyus sort of fellows around, as it is."

Luncheon for High School Writers Planned by Daily Kansan Staff
High school correspondents of the Daily Kansan who come to the University for the basket ball tournament Friday and Saturday will be entertained at luncheon Saturday by the staff of the Daily Kansan.
The good work of the high school correspondents is responsible for much of the popularity the Daily Kansan enjoys in the schools over the state. The luncheon has been planned by the staff of the Daily as a mark of their appreciation of the work the correspondents are doing, as well as a means of becoming acquainted with the high school writers.
Correspondents are asked to report to the Kansan office as soon as they arrive in Lawrence.

Arkansas City High School, March 11. The copies of the Daily Kansan received last week by the Kansan department were greeted hilariously. Every student of German could be seen with a copy tucked under his arm or protruding from a contort pocket. The German humor made a "hit" with all. The Sonor German class sang "Crimson and the Blitz." in German and the song who is for intimate enough to be taking German has expressed the wish that there be more such papers sent out even if it be only in the single copies.

FACULTY RULES AGAINST KANSAN IN STUDY HOUI

While attempting to pour alcohol into a chafing dish, last Saturday, two students at 1340 Tennessee, Mildred Manley and Arizona Johnson were burned slightly about the head. The flame in the lamp was not extinguished as they supposed and when more alcohol was poured in, the flames flared up in the girls' faces. The curtains and several pennants in the room caught fire, but the fire was soon extinguished. The girls were more frightened than hurt. —Kansan 3-11-12.

BASKET BALL SERIES
Cornhuskers Delay Until Too Late to Play at Proposed Time
HAMILTON MAKES NEW OFFER
But The Cornhuskers Still Play The Waiting Game and Withhold Their Answer.
Present indications seem to point to there being no championship baseball games with Nebraska this year. This in spite of the arrangements made by Eager of Nebraska and Hamilton of Kansas to play the games March 11, 12, and 13; one in Lawrence, one in Lincoln and the other at Manhattan unless arrangements satisfactory to both parties for playing the third game on another court be made.
Coach Stiehm delayed matters so that these dates became unsatisfactory, at the same time accusing the athletic management of this University with refusing to play on these dates and making certain demands concerning the officials and the time and place of the game.
In reply to these demands Hamilton agreed that the games should be played at an early date and offered the following propositions:
To play at any time in near future.
To play all the games on a neutral court with regulation goals and minimum dimensions of 80 by 40.
To play one game each at Lawrence and Lincoln and the other on any neutral court, Manhattan prefers to decide that the game to be decided by flip of coin.
Unless the management mutually agree upon officials, which seems improbable, to accept any two officials which the official committee of the Missouri Valley Conference may select.
Credit In College Arranged for School of Education.
As the Kansas City Athletic Club through Dr. Reilly has offered the use of their floor and as there is no question as to sufficient financial support in Kansas City (I am willing to guarantee expenses in K. C. A. Cgmy) I can see no need of going to any place without a guarantee of expenses.
COLLEGE PROFS. MEET
As this proposition was put before the Nebraska coach last Saturday and no answer has been received it appears that Nebraska may not be so anxious to play the championship as she claims to be.
The regular monthly meeting of the faculty of the College was held in the Physics Auditorium Thursday afternoon. By the adoption of the report of the Administrative committee of the College, the courses in the School of Education which will be accepted for credit in the College were definitely determined. There are thirty-one of these, in four groups. No credit will be given for more than six hours in any one group.
Oswego College was placed on the list of accredited schools whose work is accepted for advance standing in the College.
Five departments made requests to have courses added to the sophomore list. The matter was referred to an instructoritative committee with newer to act.
Five members of the senior class were recommended for the degree of Bachelor of Arts. These are: Frederick Bruckmiller, Jesse Gephart, Marie Miller, Inez Morris, and Margaret Siegel.

Ober's HEAD-TO-FOOTOUFFITERS
WASHBURN MAY BE AMONG THE MISSING
College Broke Agreement and May Not Appear on Football Schedule
Unless Washburn changes some of her plans there will be no Jayhawk-er-Icabod game this fall.
When the season closed this year Manager Hamilton made an arrangement with the Blue management by which the two schools were to meet on either the ninth or the sixteenth of November, 1912. The agreement was that the Washburn people were to hold the two dates open until they were notified as to which would be the more satisfactory to Kansas. The reason for this was the question of the Nebraska game which was of course up precedence in making up the schedule.
Kansas and Nebraska were slow in making definite their date and when last week the game was finally scheduled for the ninth, Washburn was immediately notified that the sixteenth was at their service. The reply was received yesterday that they had scheduled a game with Washington University for that date and would be unable to abide by their agreement.
This really amounted to a breach
of contract on the part of the Topek school and it is probable that unless they are willing to play the first game of the season with K. U. there will be no game next fall.
The loss of Washburn will make but little difference in the K. U schedule as they have received several offers for the date.

The following year it was decided that the dates of the track meet and the basket ball tournament should be kept separate and the latter was changed to the middle of March.
In 1909 there were seventeen teams entered. An invitation was extended to a number of the leading girls' teams and four of these accrued Halstead against won the cup offered to the wining girls' team.
The banner year in point of attendance was 1910. That year there were thirty-two boys' and eight girls' teams entered. Manatee girls won the championship, while the Clay county men were the victors among the men.
Last year the tournament was the best to date, if playing is considered. Every game was a hard battle and every player made a creditable showing. There were fewer teams than the year before, being but thirty-one entered. Of these, twenty boys teams and eleven were girls'. Lawrence won the boy championship and Chanute the girl's'.

Punch on Tap All The Time--Pro
fessor Duncan, Detained in Ari-
zona, Was Not Present
"Something doing all the time," is the motto that the Chemical Engineers must have set for their second annual banquet held in Eckle's last night, for in the four hours of physical and intellectual feasting there was not a dull moment.
The only regrettable feature of the occasion was the fact that Robert K. Duncan could not be present. A letter from Dr. Duncan was read, in which he expressed his regrets that it was necessary for him to be in Arizona as soon as possible.
The hall was decorated with red and blue bunting, and the table was dotted at reguairr intervals with cylindrical jars containing red and blue liquids. The color scheme was given more life by the deep red punch, which, contrary to the usual custom, was on the table throughout the dinner.
Dr. L. V. Dedman as toastmaster was an undisputed success, while the toasts were all well delivered and good to listen to.
TOASTS WERE ALL GOOD
Prof. H. P. Cady spoke of "The Undergraduates" and his toasts abounded with good-natured fun and banter. He deplored the students' lack of general information, and advised them to remain at home with a book instead of making so many nightly excursions to the nickels.
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Edward Weidlein spoke next or "Industious Life at K. U." and Edmund Rhodes gave the final toast or "Engineers' Day."
The banquet was brought to ar end by the Chemical Engineers' yell "H-2-S, Holy Smoke— Chemistry, Chemistry, is no joke— Ions and atoms, stinks and smears— We're the Chemical Engineers."
Earl Killarney of Atchison has pledged to the Sasnaks.
THE FACULTY IS DISCUSSED
Emile E. Grignard talked briefly on "The Faculty" urging closer friendship between the professors and the students, after which Prof. C. C. Young enlivened the occasion by speaking briefly and entertainingly about the abilities of some of the students.
Prof. F. B. Dains' toast on "The Chemist in History," was full of wif and his stories were apt and well chosen. After Professor Dains Prof. W. A. Whitaker talked or "What a Young Chemist Should Know."
Prof. John P. Trickey sang "On the Road to Mandalay," and as an encore he grave "My Hero."
Gilbert A. Bragg talked of a "A Little Yellow Dog," urging all the faculty to become acquainted with that learned society.

RED DOMINOS' PLAY FOR KANSAS EDITORS
Date of Production Changed so State Association Can See College Actors
College Actors
The comic opera to be given by the Red Domino will be staged on April 8 and 9 instead of April 15 and 16 as originally planned. The change was made on account of the fact that the Kansas State Editorial Association will be in session here on the 8th and 9th and the club wishes to show what sort of a play a real live bunch can put on.
The cast for the play contains some of the best talent there is in the university and it is assured that the penance itself is something worth while from the amateurs.
JUNIOR FARCE CAST TO
BE SELECTED TONIGHT
"The Beauty Machine" is The Fare Selected—Music Being Composed by Junior Engineer.
A tryout for the Junior Force will be held tonight at 7:00 p. m. in room 116 of Fraser Hall. All who wish to try out are requested to bring some song or reading with which they are familiar. An original fence entitled "The Beauty Machine" has been chosen by the committee. The setting of the play is laid in the "Queendom of Quelicia," where no man have even permitted entry, but then get invited, and after a series of close calls, involving many amusing incidents, they escape with their animals and sweet-hearts.
Prof. R. R. Price of the Extension Division, returned from St. Johns, Stafford county, yesterday where he delivered an address before the county teachers' association on "The Use of Schools as a Social and Civic Center."
Miss Gertrude Mossler will select the cast and direct the fare. Ray Hall's entire orchestra of Topeka will play the accompaniments for the songs and furnish the music for the dance later in the evening.
The music for the farce is being written by Mr. Cain, an engineering sage in the Engineering school.
Professor Price made arrangement for Prof. H. P. Cady of the chemistry department to give his lecture on "Liquid Air" at Hutchinson, March 27, and possibly at Stafford and Tonganoxie later.

COUNCIL CROWNED THE WHISTLE KING
Big Tooter Given Job of Running University Schedule on Time
CLASS PERIODS FIFTY MINUTES
Standard Length of Recitation Adopte
Leaving Ten Minutes Intervals—
Tardy Marks Will Be Unknown
The professor who believes in the Marathon recitation instead of the fifty-minute class dash was ruled off the field by action of the University's legal department, when it adopted a modified form of the proposed system of whistle signals.
The whistle will blow at the end of each period, but the evidence of privately regulated timepieces will be ignored until the proper time to begin the next session.
The intermission between classes will be ten minutes, leaving fifty minutes for the recitation. This is the first time students have hours in the universities of the country.
PLAN IS POPULAR.
Students and faculty both seem to approve the reforms of the schedule. The confusion arising from late arrivals in class struggling in from distant buildings or rushing in breathless from recitations held overtime will now be done away with. A few persons with nerves have suggested that the whistle makes some noise. It is understood that the Council was aware of this fact. It is pointed out that the general University catalogue says no at word in favor of Mt. Oread as a retreat for neurotics.
CUT THE SLANG---
ENGLISH FACULTY
Students and Geo. Ade Come In For Censure By Professors
That the use of slang and commonplace expressions is to be avoided is the firm conviction of the faculty of the department of English. In this they agree with Grenville Kleiser, founder of the Public Speaking club of America.
TO UNIVERSITY FOR RELIGIOUS LEADERS
Send the Daily Kansan home.
"Slang is the subterfuge of the slothful," according to Mr. Grenville. "My attitude toward slang." Prof. C. G. Dunnap said, "Is a hostile one. Slang is cheap. It may sound smart to call an ice-cream parlor a 'joint,' or your girl a 'queen,' but George Ade does a great deal of harm to the English language by writing 'Take your Queen to an ice-cream Joint.'"
"Slang is detestable," Prof. R. D. O'Leary said. It is weakening to the intellect to make one set of phrases answer for the expression of every emotion. Slang is a vague term and 'includes many neologisms.'
"No expression should be used because it is 'catchy'," Professor Dunlap said, "No one need use the phrase "to catch on" when the same meaning is conveyed by the words "to understand."
Chancellor Strong at St.Louis Prophesies New Type of Evangelist
NEEDED FOR SPECIFIC SERVICE
Church Must Look After Sunday
Schools, Settlement Work, Industrial and Juvenile Problems
Special to the Daily Kansan.
St. Louis, March 13-Chancellor Strong of the University of Kansas delivered the opening address at the second session here today of the department of universities and colleges of the Religious Education Association. His paper was the only general discussion of the topic in the session'and was on "The New Interpretation of a Religious Leader and His Work."
Chancellor Strong said among other things that religious leadership requires constructive and original qualities of mind. It require initiative and power. Religion is a matter so personal, has to do with things in a man's life so deep reaching, so fundamental and withal so delicate that true fundamental qualities of leadership are invaluable.
He brought out the point that religious leadership requires intense conviction, a certain localized and narrow conception of what is vital in order that the message may have penetration and power. He said that religious leadership must be based on a thorough understanding of the unity of life; that religion if it have to do with us at all must have to do with us entirely; that it required in creasingly well-trained men and women as well as thoroughly sound and Godly men.
LEADERS MUST BE TRAINED
In the chancellor's opinion modern religious leaderships must be trained for specific service in highly differentiated fields but now definitely provided for in the financial scheme of church and religious work, such as superintendencies of Sunday schools, settlement work, work for defective and unfortunate children, industrial work, poverty and vice in the cities. He also said that the religious leader of the time must learn that men, especially young men, respond to the direct appeal, that they demand the highest kind of sincerity, the most fundamental qualities of honor and integrity.
Chancellor Strong believes that unless all signs fail modern religious leadership will not, to any considerable degree, take on the aspect of the great revival meetings of the type we have been accustomed to that while believing in the value of true evangelistic work in the churcel and the necessity of giving the emotions a place in religion, modern evangelism has in many instances become too artificial and on a basis two materialistic and financial to perform the service required of true evangelism.
The Chancellor closed with the statement that religious leadership cannot be confined, as it has been in the past, simply to those with formal theological and religious training and because universities have always been a great instrument in civilization, they must be resorted to for religious leadership.
PROF. HAWORT ASKED
TO STOP MINE EXPLOSIONS
Professor Haworth is in receipt of letters from the coal mining district in Crawford county asking him to aid in devising some plan for decreasing the danger of shot firing in the mines. These letter are the result of an experiment conducted in fires which caused the death of twenty of them in two mines since January 1.
"I have not yet thought of a satisfactory course of action," said Professor Haworth today, "but something will be done soon."

OFFER PUPS LEARNING
Professor Dockeray Has Three Kansas City Dogs and a Lawrence Cat
F. Prof. F, C. Dockeray, of the Department of Psychology, has received three fine young setters from a man in Kansas City.
Does this mean that Lawrence is unprogressive in matters concerning the higher education of animals? It would seem so, as the only contribution from this city is a half grown maizete and it was brought up by a student.
"There seems to be a wrong idea existing about the object of this course in animal psychology," said Professor Crawford, who does not training the animals for a circus.
"Our object is to give the animals an opportunity to learn and to think. We want either to prove, or disprove the animals have ideas or discrimination."

CAMPBELL BUYS SILK KIMONO
Graham Acquires Gen-u-nine Cheyneen
Navajo Blanket - All Have a Boost
For the Santa Fe.
Here a few that the club members have been telling on themselves and on each other.
Now that the Glee club is safely returned to Lawrence, and the prosaic round of daily life, their tongues, like those of the ancient heroes have begun to wag, and in a few weeks we will have as fine a collection of adventures and experiences as Homer wove into the Iliad.
Like all tourists the boys "shelled out" at different places for "costly" souvenirs at ridiculously low prices. Fin Graham loosened up to the extent of fifteen beans and bore home a real Cheyenne Indian Navajo blanket. Bob Campbell displayed marked taste, and is now the proud possessor of a twelve-dollar Japanese hand-broidered kimono He "jewelled the Los Angeles merchant down fifty cents. Who will be the lucky girl?
"We sure had some dance at the El Tovar hotel in the Great Canon" said Lawrence Smith, rather tactlessly, as he walked out of chapel this morning with his regular chapel date which he no doubt missed on the trip. "There was one man who had a party of people, mostly girls, with him in a private car. Then besides these we had all of the waitresses, and cooks to choose our dances with. It reminded me of our own Wednesday night dance."
One unfortunate feature of the trip was the fact that Clyde Dodge and Bob Campbell did not feel well in Los Angeles. "When you travel around that city, it's a lot of pain and affection on some people," said Had Black, in discussing the episode.

The exhibit consists of drawings and paintings made by the students of the Art Institute of Chicago, one of the leading art schools of the country. The drawings are being brought here especially for the art students to study, but all others who are interested in art can see them at the rooms of the art department in the Administration building.
Professor Griffith is teaching his pupils to hang pictures so that they will show up in what visitors think is the best light. The visitor should see Professor Griffith and maybe he will let him try his hand.
George Magatagan, a senior in the School of Engineering, was taken to the University hospital at Rosedale today on account of a complication of diseases resulting from a severe attack of the gripe.

AN ACID TEST
The construction work that a graduate engineer of the University may produce, will be tested again by his former instructor in the engineering laboratory. Professors Hoad and Sherwood, of the Civil Engineering department, are conducting tests of the efficiency of a new municipal filtration plant at Cherryvale this afternoon. Worley and Black, a firm composed of two University graduates, were in charge of the construction of the filtration plant, so that Professors Hoad and Sherwood will add to their work in the interest of the municipality an "acid test" of the actual benefit that the University affords the state graduating engineers who are competent and capable of undertaking the construction work of our municipalities.
BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
The present status of the basketball situation in the Missouri Valley would lead one to believe that neither technically nor by inference will the championship of the Conference for 1912 be decided.
A final series of three games should be played between Nebraska and Kansas to decide with whom the laurels of the season rest, but owing to an assumption of dictatorial power on the part of the Nebraska management and the lateness of the date in the basket-ball season, the prospects of scheduling the games appear blighted.
Difficulty has been experienced in selecting a referee who is satisfactory to the players of both teams and the elements of time and place have entered in to make the solution harder. The games cannot be played this week in Omaha, not because we simply refuse to meet the proposals of Nebraska, but because the requirements of financial support, time for transportation and selection of the referee make it impossible to play the games on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of this week.
These considerations combined with Nebraska's attitude toward the contests practically mean that a series of games to decide the championship of the Missouri Valley Conference will not be played this spring.
If no championship games are played, can either of the universities claim an inferred championship? Nebraska has won four games from Kansas, the last two by overwhelming scores. However, there is a sentiment expressed by entirely disinterested persons to the effect that Kansas has as strong a claim to the honors of the valley on the strength of their excellent playing under the rules laid down at the conference of the coaches and officials held before the season opened. It is unquestioned that Nebraska has not played according to this interpretation of the rules. They have been coached in the Eastern style of play where few offenses are rated fouls.
Hence, owing to the difference in
opinion regarding the real strength of the two teams, and the actual contracted agreement made at the opening of the season, Kansas is justified in insisting upon a decision of the championship by the series of three games provided by the conference. Moreover, Kansas has all ready created a precedent for a situation similar to the one present. In 1909, Kansas defeated the Cornhuskers four times in succession, and at the close of the regular season, Nebraska asked for the three post season games to decide the championship of the conference. The games were played with the result that Kansas won three more games from Nebraska that year.
WILL SHOW THE EAST
"Big business" is beginning to realize that the products of western universities are worth while after all, that technical students need not necessarily obtain their early training in the East and that mayhap the life of genius and constructive work may be found here. The United States Realty and Construction company, of New York, has selected a graduate of the University of Kansas, W. S. Kimnear, to fill a position of trust and responsibility. Mr. Kimnear will go East among the first western-trained men to aid in dispelling that atmosphere of self-centered, self-satisfied smugness that exists among the educational institutions there.

COSMOPOLITANISM
The chief benefit which the student derives from a general college course is often lost by a narrow-minded view of what is desirable therein. By this we mean that many do not adopt that attitude of observation and cosmopolitanism which should be one of the greatest influences and instructive agencies in the university.
Too many college men merely know one small number of men with whom they associate and with whom they enjoy their time here more, probably, than if they had a much larger acquaintance. But there is where the fallacy lies. They say, that as they would not enjoy themselves so much otherwise, there is no reason why they should change. They should remember, that if the do not wish to form new acquaintances from the standpoint of pleasure, they should from that of duty A man owes it to himself to get acquainted with as many different kinds of human beings and of human nature as possible. There is no better chance than here, where every type of man is gathered from the four corners of the world. The value of such training should be apparent to all—The Daily Iowan.

When his Mother came to him he said: "I want to whisper to you," and when she could not hear him, he nearly hit it off, all by herself were horrified, and asked him what he could mean by such brutal and inhuman conduct. "It is to punish her," he said, and the mother with stealing little things, and brought them home to Mother. Instead of re-bruking and punishing me, she laughed and said: 'it will not be noticed.' It occurred of her that I am here today."

A PROGRESSIVE FAN.
WANT ALL WOMEN TO JOIN
The recent editorial in the Oread Magazine entitled "Versus Knock Kneed" seems to require a statement setting forth the correct purpose and plan of the Women's Athletic Association. The general impression among those not intimately associated with the Women's Athletic Association seems to be that the Association is attempting to develop a few stars, to break records, and to become masculine in general. We are sorry that such an idea has been circulated, and hope to make clear our position.
To the Daily Kansan:
Fresh- What is a 'student press correspondent'?
1. The control of affairs is limited to too few hands, and
2. The sports attempted are not suitable for women.
A Student.
The two main charges are;
A mass meeting of those interested in athletics was called by Miss Martindale at the repeated request of those who felt the need of an association. Announcements of this meeting were published in the Daily Kansan, made in chapel, and posted on the bulletin boards in several buildings. Forty-four girls braved the snow and came to the gymnasium to organize the association. Plans and suggestions were freely discussed, a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, a captain for the "Crimisons" and a captain for the "Blues," and a general manager of sports were elected.
A committee was appointed to draw up a constitution, Dr. Johnson and Dr. Naismith were consulted and offered suggestions, and the constitution thus became unanimous with a unanimous vote at the second meeting when over seventy-five girls were present.
This provides for an Executive Committee composed of the officers of the association, and the captains of the Blues and Crimson sides; and an advisory committee composed of four members of the association, one from each class, and four members of the faculty elected by the association.
Senior—My son, he's a man who views college affairs through a hole in his pocket.
—Jack-'o-Lantern.
As set forth in the constitution the purpose of the association is to further all athletic interests of the women of the University. The membership is not limited to those enrolled in the Freshman and Sophomore gymnastium classes, but all women, student and faculty, are eligible to membership. Those interested in the various sports have organized and elected captains for basket ball, volleyball, baseball, track, tennis, and swimming teams. These sports, and also soccer have been recommended by Dr. Naismith and Coach Hamilton, but as yet the soccer teams have not been organized. Inssport basketball is played as a reduced sport, basketball with a soft ball and junior bats, and the track aspirants are limited to a maximum distance of an eighth of a mile, we find that basket球 is our most strenuous sport. Dr. Johnson is at every practice and watches carefully to see that no girl over-exerts herself.
It is hoped every girl in the University will join the association and take part in as many sports as possible.
THE BILL POSTER AGAIN To the Daily Kansan:
We are again plagued by a gain of bill posters, but this time they invaded the very buildings of the University. Some one has taken the liberty to tack up the bills of the Oread Magazine upon the woodwolf of the Administration building.
President
If this is permitted, some one else will drive tacks in the woodwork and what will it look like in a year o two? The bill poster should no forget that the law in Kansa against the defacing of public property applies even to the buildings o the University.
If we don't want the woodwork in the Administration building ruined, the driving of tacks into it ought to be stopped immediately.
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
Books never pall on me. . . . They discourse with us, they take counsel with us, and are united to us by a certain living chatty familiarity. And not only does each book inspire the sense that it belongs to its readers, but it also suggests the name of others and one begets the desire of the other.
THE CRIB AND COLLEGE ETHICS
FRANCESCO PETRARCA.
It is a shock to learn that with all the wonderful transformations which our colleges have undergone, the "crib," or illicit translation, still gives trouble. We are told by Stuart of Princeton tells all about it in the Educational Review for March.
In schools, he says, "the foe is to be a considerable extent kept in check." But the college freshman soon succeeds to temptation. Lessons are long, amusements engross his time, text college books have no vocabulary and a dictionary is a nuisance; everyone tells him that it is one of the "good old custom" of college to use a "pony," alias "trot," for classes as professors or classes some professors even, recommend their classes to use metrical translations, his inference being that what is good for a senior must be permissible for a freshman.
LET CLASSES VOTE ON CRIBS.
Such a state of affairs is of course demoralizing. Prof. Stuart proposes to remedy it by giving each class an opinion between long lessons, with “cribs” if they like, and shorter lessons with the understanding that all are to play fair and not use short cuts. If all voted against “treets,” it is to be hoped that a sense of honor would hold them to the contract.
Yet you it not be simpler to make credits in language study depend not on the work done in a prescribed way but on the ability gained? If the test were an examination from time to time in writing, grammar, and the degree of intimacy, you would find for study it would matter little how the necessary study had been done.
NO UNFAIR ADVANTAGES EXIST.
There is in reality no such thing as an "unfair" advantage in learning anything worth while, nor does it matter what system is employed if the results are substantial and permanent. Some have great patience at thumbing a dictionary, others need to work daily with a tutor, some free lance has a knack of getting from a translation just the help they need. The real challenge is often effort involved but the results achieve the goal might be well to conduct an investment among alumni to see whether there any perceptible difference in the permanence of lessons learned with and without the use of forbidden lists.
In every class, of course, there are idlers who study just enough to pass, and use a "pony" to help them over the boggy places at a comfortable gallop: Quadrupedate patrem sonitu quantit ing*
Easy come, easy go; when examination is past all is dropped from the mind with relief.
PERHAPS THE SYSTEM IS WRONG
But when the use of cribs, though forbidden, is so general, it must be that some students of a better sort use them What have they to say for themselves? Ethically, of course, they are wrong. Are they wholly wrong pedagogically? Or is it possible that the old disciplinary theories of language study need revision? In part, the use of cribs is probably due to a feeling that the prescribed methods are stupid and labor wasting, and the wild difference of practice on the part of different editors as to what helps should be given in the notes must encourage this feeling. If the use of translations is of real aid and not a delusive short cut, the fact ought to be made known, and examinations on actual accomplishments, instead of on the processes that look toward accomplishment, would quickly make an end of the evil of secretly used “cribs.” In language study the only important question is whether or not the language has been learned, whether or not the system used pragmatically “works.”

Nobody ever stops to look at a clay bank until some artist puts it into a picture with a gift frame and a tag that says $750. Lawrence grew up beside a clay bank, but nobody ever noticed it except the boys who had to go around it on their way to the pasture after the cows. Finally somebody began to bake old-fashioned soft brick out of this clay. Somebody else improved the process. Today Lawrence is paved with its own vitrified brick, and many other cities in Kansas and elsewhere are paved with it. An enormous plant runs night and day to supply the demand.
And there are other opportunities for profitably industry in Lawrence waiting for the man with the insight and ability to develop them.

AGAIN THE KNOT APPLIED TO TIGER
"Old Grads" Outnumbered and Outyelled Missourians in Kansas City Friday
The latest outburst of rivalry between supporters of the Universities of Kansas and Missouri occurred in Kansas City last Friday. It was the "old grads" who mixed up it this time and though the clash took place in what is nominally the enemy's country, Missouri was forced to yield to superior numbers.
The alumni of both institutions have organized luncheon clubs, and both chose McClintock's restaurant for a feed Friday. Through a confusion of names, the alumni made arrangements to seat both clubs in the same dining room.
Both the Jayhawkers and the Tigers were treated to a surprise when on entering the dining room they found themselves in the same room with their ancientoes. The rivalry took the form of mustering the largest number and each newcomer was greeted with applause by the other guests at the table at which he took his seat.
Kansas numbered seventy men when the luncheon began, while there were but fifty to yell for M. U.
The Missouri club has been holding weekly luncheons. The Kansas alumni heretofore have met monthly, but they are not going to let Missouri put anything over them and from now on they will meet weekly, too.
"There is as much University spirit here as there is on Mount Oread," said a Kansas City alumnus to a Daily Kansan reporter. "The club is flourishing and new men are constantly coming in to be with the boys at the informal down-town luncheons. It's the best move the Kansas City alumni have ever made."

TOURNAMENT WILL BE A CLASSY AFFAIR
Sectional High School Champs Will Settle State Basket Ball Leadership
The inter-scholastic basket-ball tournament held in Robinson gymnastium last year brought forth more individual champions than have ever before been chosen out of the high schools throughout the state. While the entry sheets were not as full as the preceding year the players entered were much better qualified for the positions they handled and the play was much faster and more sportsmanly than in former tournaments.
Records were made and kept of the individual scores made in the semi-finals and finals and from these a first and second team for both boys and girls was picked. On the first boys' team was Russell, Lawrence; Blevens, Arkansas City; Sproul, Lawrence; Woodford, Topeka, Apt, Buffalo. The second team was, Robinson, Winfield; Todd Halstead; Williams, Florence; McClanahan, Clay County and Brown Lawrence. These players were selected by Dr. James Naismith and Coach W. O. Hamill as being entitled to membership on the AllKansas high school basket-ball teams.
A first girls' team was selected mainly from players from Chanute and Reno county. The Chanute team won the silver loving cup for the championship of the state while the Reno county girls received the trophy ball for second place.
On account of the extreme rivalry last year the games promise to be more than usually interesting this year. It was "nip and tuck" all the way through in the last tournament and the championships were decided with difficulty. The different team are even better prepared this year to put up hard games and from pres ent outlooks there will be some close decisions.

NO MORE RED TAPE FOR THE NORTHWEST
Universities of That Section Abandon Unenforceable Summer Baseball Rule.
The summer baseball rule, now in the rule book governing the eligibility of athletics in the Northwest, will be wiped off at the next annual meeting of the Northwest Conference, if the graduate managers have anything to say about it. The rule is known to be a dead-letter and the managers say it ought to be rescinded.
"This summer baseball rule was discussed extensively at the conference," said Manager Zeidnich of Washington State University yesterday. "Some of the managers declared the rule ought to be enforced once, just to show that practically every college baseball player in the Northwest would be ruled out. They declare this would bring the institutions to their senses." The team, already moved from the book, they declare it was ridiculous to have a provision disqualifying athletes because they earn a few dollars playing baseball in the summer time.
"Others said the rule was not being enforced and inasmuch as it was a deadletter it ought to be forgotten. Its being on the books made no difference, they said. However, it was the unanimous opinion that before the next conference to induce the institutions to meet the question honestly and to abolish the rule, inasmuch as it would have been possible plainly, they said, puts a premium on evading the conference agreement in this respect at least. Colleges all over the country have trouble with the summer baseball pros and the managers in session at
Portland felt that the Northwest ought to be progressive enough to take the lead in the matter, express their convictions honestly and abolish the rule. At the regular conference last year an effort was made to wipe the rule from his record. The governor came instructed by their student bodies or faculties to retain the rule.
It is certain if the representatives who gathered at Portland have any influence with their institutions the rule longer burden the eligibility book much longer.
PROFESSOR TO EUROPE
Prof. E. M. Briggs, of the German department, will leave with Mrs. Briggs about the middle of the summer for a year's travel through Germany and Europe. Professor Briggs has obtained a year's leave of absence and will study in Germany for his doctor's degree.
Miss Jessie F. Reed, a sophomore in the College, will probably accompany them, in order to study more thoroughly the German language and customs.

Silver loving cups for the teams that win firsts, and gold, silver, and bronze medals for the individuals winners have been secured by the members of the athletic committee of Engineers' day.
"We intend to run this meet off or time, so it will be necessary to call the first baseball game at two clock," said a member of the committee yesterday afternoon. "All the contestants will have to avoid causing any delay for we expect to close the meet by a quarter of six. The baseball games have been cut to three innings in length, so that we may play off the preliminary and final series for the championship in one afternoon."
the prizes for the events are as follows: Silver loving cups for the inter-class relay, inter-school spectacular race and inter-school relay; leather skins for the championship in the tug of war and the baseball games; and gold, silver, and bronze medals for first, second and third places respectively in the fifty yard dash, 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, 440-yard dash, 880-yard run, mile run, 120-yard hurdles and the running high jump.

The Kind Legislature Rebuked.
The Illinois state supreme court rendered a decision last week which declares unconstitutional an act of the last legislature voting $60,000 for the medical school of the state university. Several other appropriations for the university were passed in the same manner. It is thought a special session of the legislature will be called so that the university and others may get the benefit of the bills passed.
Cornhuskers Newspaper An nouncements Surprising News to Hamilton
Coach Hamilton is still in doubt as to whether a championship basketball series will be played with Nebraska. It is probable that the series will be abandoned.
In spite of the various newspaper reports that Kansas had made certain concessions to Nebraska and had agreed to play at Omaha this week Coach Hamilton did not receive any answer to his letter of the 9th which offered several propositions for playing the games, until 10:30 this morning.
In this letter Coach Sziehm of Nebraska made no mention of any financial guarantee to Kansas not did he take into consideration that Kansas had as yet not agreed concerning the officiating of Hyland His letter says that the Omahpa papers will advertise the game. In view of the fact that the papers would but have one day to advertise the affair Hamilton does not feel that we should consent to play there without at least a guarantee of expenses in view of the fact that we made this guarantee in our offer for playing at Kansas City.
If the authorities accept the Nebraska proposition the Kansas players will be forced to leave at two o'clock this afternoon in order to reach Omaha in time for the first game.
FORMER STUDENT TO BE IN K. C. SOCIETY PLAY
Miss Marguerite Stone, Who Took Lead in Many University Productions, has Important Part
Miss Marguerite Stone, a junior in the College last year, will have one of the leading parts in the musical comedy to be presented by the ladies of the Athenium Club of Kansas City at the Willis Wood theater Friday and Saturday entitled "The House That Jack Built." She will be one of the leaders of the Moonbeam chorus.
Miss Stone will be remembered for her dramatic work while in the University. She was a member of the Thespian and Red Domino dramatic organizations and was seen a great many times in productions given by both societies. Her greatest success was in the Red Domine play last year "The Idle Idol" in which she had the leading role. She also carried the lead in several French plays given at the University last year.

INJURED
Chancellor Strong is expected to issue a manifesto this afternoon, ordering hostilities to cease until after the visiting high school students are safely home.

of a Possible Two Thousand
Quickly forming a fighting wedge and inspired by the cry of "Jayhawk, Jayhawk, Jayhawk, We," the lines of the enemy were tested and within a few minutes the men of the draughting table and the forge were forced to retreat. Led by one "Burly" Miller, with his lieutenants Tow Woodbury and Bill Hanner, the Law cohorts stormed the intrenched engineers and sent them scurrying over the brow of the hill with a hundred volleys of snow balls peppering them at every jump.
Chanting a war cry of "Hyperbolic Parabaloid," three hundred engineers marshalled their forces in front of the Law ramparts this morning and with taunt and derision dared the barristers to come forth from their abode and meet them in a snow battle.
Herbert Sommers, sore arm.
W. D. Weidlein, scalp wound.
Willie Price, internal injuries
(late to lunch).
"Uncle Jimmy" had not yet dismissed his 11:15 class, when the invitation from the engineers was heard and in a few minutes the steps of Green hall were swarming with a hundred lawyers who were thriving for the gore of the brethren to inhabit the west end of the campus.
However, a cleverly executed flank movement by a reserve force of the engineers, in a few moments turned the tide of battle and in short time the laws were pocketted and one by one they withdrew with the best possible grace from the conflict. It was only a small group of Spartans that were left to stop the turmish of the determined engineers

And thus it was that the first rea snow fight between law and engineers resulted in a victory for the men of Dean Marvin. A complete list of the casualties cannot be ascertained but the University Red Cross is busy caring for the injured

hancellor Strong Says New Syste Checks up Work Every Week— Not Much Chance to Flunk
The Junior girls held a meeting yesterday in chapel to discuss the question of flowers and cabs for the prom.
A report from Registrar Foster to Chancellor Strong today, shows a remarkable record of scholarship for University of Kansas students in 1911-1912. Only twenty-six students out of possible 2000 this year's work.
Of the twenty-six failures, six of these were fraternity men, while twelve were not members of Greek letter societies. Not a sorority lost a member during the year by poor scholarship.
The records show little difference in scholarship between fraternity and non-fraternity students. The young women in clubs excelled the nonsoriority women, while the non-fraternity men have a trifle the advantage of their Greek classmates, a fraction of one per cent.
VEILED DEMAND IS MADE FOR CABS AND FLOWERS
"Miss Chairman," moved a pretty brown-haired lassie, "in 'nots of universities they make the Prom just as democratic as possible. Let us show that we are as far removed from the spirit of snobbery and vulgar display. Let us consider those among us whose escorts would be bankrupt by such unnecessary luxuries as cab-hire and flowers. I move that we dispense with cabs and flowers altogether."
A survey of the "vital statistics" of twenty other universities shows that the average per cent of failures is four times that at Kansas last year.
"The excellent showing," says Chancellor强, "is due mainly to the fact that the new system worked out by the deans checks up the student's work week by week instead of leaving him to take his medicine at the end of the semester when the final examinations come."
A new crop of college graduates has the same effect on incomes of working graduates as low grade immigrants from Southern Europe produce on the wages of native workmen, to Prof. Karapetoff of Cornell University, in a recent talk at the annual banquet of Cornell alumni in eastern New York.
And the reformer sat down with a vast sense of duty well done.
SHOULD COLLEGE GRADUATES
COMBINE TO RAISE WAGES!
He recommended the organization of college graduate unions similar to trade unions. He urged the students to organize, prescribe employment and salary, and enforce their demands by hard work. He was the only way to prevent wages of college men going down to the level of those of common workers.
PHI DELTA THETA WILL
CELEBRATE FOUNDER'S DAY
The annual founder's day banquet of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity will be held at the chapter house tomorrow night. It will celebrate the sixty-fourth anniversary of the fraternity. Alumni from Lawrence and throughout the state are expected to attend. After the banquet the ritualistic exercises will be gone through, followed by short talk: from Prof. W. E. Higgins, Dean C. H. Johnson, Dr. E. G. Caldwell, and Russell H. Clark. Gilbert will act a tao master.
There will be no issue of the Daily Kansan tomorrow. A special high school edition will be printed Saturday morning.

"Girls," she began, "I don't think we have any right to decide this question. The boys always look after these things for us, and whatever they do we must remember that we are accepting their needs and so can have no cause to complain."
But a wise old veteran of the P. S. B. who had slipped into the convention to see what was going on, arose and spoke in this wise:
A a few enthusiastic sisters applauded until their hands were pink.
"I move that the matter be left entirely in the hands of the young men and that they be permitted to do as they wish."
And, it was so ordered through a previous motion was before the house.
TO OUR PREDECESSORS
The Students of Yesterday, the Alumni of Today
One year ago, or five or ten or twenty, you were where we are today—in the midst of the hurry and fun and grind and grief and glory of University life. You haven't forgotten it. You never will.
There are more of us today; our classes are larger; we make a bigger noise down on McCook, our paper is a daily with a big circulation—but after all, we have some things that you did, and in about the same way.
Wouldn't it be worth something to you to be taken back to the old familiar haunts just for a few minutes every day? If you could go by Mt. Oread occasionally wouldn't you enjoy looking across the camping ground at the golf course or enter an interest in its efforts to branch out into state work? Surely you are—and always will be.
The Daily Kansas offers to give you just such a look-in on the affairs of your University—the doings of your successors in the old hard-bottomed chairs grouped around the Oracle. The news columns of the Daily Kansan—well, read them and see. Every day or two some student writes a human interest story that will show you how the old order changeth not only because your older will still have communication that will put you into close touch with the thoughts and aspirations of those who have followed you.
The Daily Kansan has been running two months. Its circulation is 2,500. It couldn't stop if it wanted to. The students wouldn't let it. But it needs and will appreciate the support of the alumni. Are you with us?
If we are right as to the value that the Daily Kansan would have for you fill out the blank enclosed in this sample copy and let us put you on the list.
MAKE YOUR DATES FOR THE MUSIC FESTIVAL

The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra will again be the main attraction. Coming with the orchestra are the following artists: Mrs. Lucile Stephenson, soprano; Mrs. Genewiev wheat, alto; Joseph Schnke, tenor; Horatio Connell, bass, and Mr. Czerwonky, violinist.

A chorus of sixteen young ladies, under the direction of Dean Skilton, will sing two numbers with the orchestra. A feature of Friday's program will be a symphonic poem entitled, "A Carolina Legend," which was written by Dean Skilton.
In addition to these, Madame Namara-Toye, soprano, assisted by Mr. Willie Lamping, cellist, will sing. Madame Namara-Toye is from New York and has never sang in Lawrence, but she has a wide reputation as an artist in the East.

HAROLD WILSON IS MANAGER
Manuscript Arrives Next Week And Play Will Be Staged About The Middle of April.
At a called meeting of the Masque Club yesterday Harold W. Wilson, a junior in the School of Law was elected manager to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Charles Younggreen, the former manager.
Mr. Wilson has already completed arrangements with the Sanger and Jordan Dramatic publishing company of New York, for the rights to produce "The Lottery Man," a three-act comedy by Rida Johnson Young. A definite date has not been set for production as yet, but it is intended to give the play about the middle of April.
"The Lottery Man," said Mr. Wilson, "is a side-spitting comedy, of ludicrous situations and clever lines. In the original production of the play, Cyril Scott played the part of the 'Lottery Man' who raffled himself for a dollar a chance to any woman with matrimonial aspirations.
"The play has just been released for stock productions," continued Mr. Wilson, "and the royalty alone will cost us fifty dollars for each performance."
TABOO ON FLOWERS AND CABS AT PROM
Managers Say that These Extras Will Inconvenience Their Arrangements
Professor Dykstra in Junction City. Prof. C. A. Dykstra, associate professor of history, will speak before a mass meeting of the citizens of Junction City on the subject. "Commission Form of Government" Thursday night. Junction City will vote on the commission form of government next Tuesday.
The manuscript will probably arrive the latter part of this week, and rehearsals will be started Monday. The parts will be assigned as soon as the script arrives and the cast will be announced next week.
FARCE STARTS AT SIX O'CLOCK
Miss Gertrude Mossilor, head of the School of Expression will choose the cast and have charge of directing the play.
No Trouble to Find Your Partner This Year, 'Cause Girls Will Be Arranged Alphabetically.
In a signed communication to the Daily Kansan, Elmer L. Whitney and Bruce Hurd, managers of the Junior Prom, request, inasmuch as the Junior girls have refused to pass a resolution to the effect, that cabs and flowers be tabooed this year. Arrangements have been made with the street railway company to run a large number of cars after the Prom for convenience of those attending.
In regard to the flowers, the managers realize that they can enforce no restriction, but in order to make this one social function of the school year entirely democratic, they request that no flowers be used.
A new arrangement has been made for the convenience of the men in finding their partners for the next dance. Sections have been marked off alphabetically around the hall, in which the dancers will correspond letter will always sit, it is hoped in this way to avoid much confusion in the finding of partners.
Since it is requested by the University council that the Prom must close at 2:30 o'clock, it will be necessary to start the Fare promptly at six, and the doors will be locked at that time to insure no interruption.
UNIVERSITY MINERS TO HELP AT LANSING?
Professor Haworth Will Present Plans to Regents for Cooperation
Professor Erasmus Haworth is about as busy as any man on the "hill," but according to some plans which he has now under way, he expects to increase the scope of the present work of his department and to show again that he is making sure that the University is taking in making state institutions more efficient.
HIGH SCHOOL PROFS WILL BE HERE ALSO
Professor Haworth says that the next meeting of the Board of Regents, a plan will be presented whereby the School of Mining now maintained at the University will be brought into close co-operation with the state mine at Lansing. He believes that there is a great chance to save the state a large amount of money and at the same time to give the students in the department of mining some practical experience.
"We teach things at the University that are practical," said the professor.
"The state mine at Lansing offers an excellent opportunity to test the principles that are taught in the class room, and at the same time the operation of the state mines can be made more efficient than at the present time."
No definite plans have been made but by the time the Regents are in session. Professor Haworth will be on hand with his suggestion.

EXTINCTION THREATENS THE AUTOGRAPH FIEND
Get in the game! Sharpen your pencils— Refill your pens! Then step boldly up and inscribe your name on some of the state property about the University. According to several custodians and teachers, this practice is becoming quite general. Especially in the Museum is the "Visitor" Gallery" the most popular, where so many "Hands Off" notices are freely and conspicuously placed.
There is a notice:- "Visitors are requested not to touch or mark any of the specimens in the museum."
"This notice is a joke," said a pro fessor in the Museum yesterday, pointing to one of the neat white cards.
"Please do no think that we mean anything by it, or by any of the hundreds of similar notices posted throughout the building. We are proud to see the facial signs, the trivial signs, and scrawl their imposing signatures upon the clean white surface of our specimens and exhibits.
"Only one thing is lacking. If the next visitor to the Museum feels it incumbent upon himself to leave his name on some specimen, he would confer a great favor upon the State and upon me by leaving his address also. Generally one good example will end this sort of thing."

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
A little neglect may breed great mis chief.
The queer thing about "The Beauty Machine" is, the more sand that is thrown into the parts, the better they will work.
It is rumored that as a precaution against a shortage of barkers, free admission to the Indoor Circus will be given to the Yellow Dogs.
The number of pups in Professor Dockeray's dog class should increase noticeably, when it becomes known that the canines can "bone" for quizzes.
If Kansas has more colleges and university students per capita than any other state in the union, as claimed by the University Daily of Lawrence, why should our school be drumming the people every little while on account of their niggardiness in taxing themselves for educational purposes?—Osage County Chronicle.
In other words, when a man's family has increased to a baker's dozen why does he have to hustle so much harder to make ends meet than when he had only one? Why does cruel experience puncture that beautiful dream about how two can live cheaper than one?

Some members of the senior class have seen fit recently to take the "big stick" in hand and "wade into" the senior annual with the avowed intention of reforming the financial scheme of the organization, so that in the end, the highest efficiency may be obtained for the amount of money that is expended.
Since the class wishes to insure efficiency in the financial department—to obtain the best book that may be published for the sum involved—why not, at this time, consider also the project of increasing the efficiency of the editorial board? There is nothing wrong about the present editorial board. The members only have been deprived of the experience that should have been theirs, by the nature of the organization as it is at present and that is not their fault.
It is unquestioned that every new editor of the annual and every new business manager enters upon his duties entirely ignorant of the exact nature of the work before him. The editor may have a general, hazy idea that he must secure the pictures and write-ups from the members of the senior class and that there is a lot of fun connected with the work.
The business manager is aware of the fact that he must dispose of the edition in some way and that in another mysterious way, the book must pay out. He appreciates the fact that he must secure publicity, but he is not acquainted with the means of obtaining it for his book.
In short, neither one of the officers of the staff may be considered experts or may even well versed in the method of book making. Of course though, they are expected to put out
the best book in the history of the University.

...
Then why not give them a chance to make good on that basis? Why not provide a training course for the chiefs of the staff, which will enable them to appreciate the salient features in the publication of such a book? The saving of men's time alone will pay for the change that would be made.
Let the annual board partake somewhat of the character of those boards of student publications that are self-perpetuating. It need not be a closed corporation, for the plan of class election of officers could still be used. Provide for the election a year earlier and let the officers work with their predecessors and become acquainted with the work they will encounter when publishing their own book. To place the selection of the annual men strictly on the merit basis would be even better, but in that case, an organization of a permanent publishing company would be imperative. Such a training course would save time in starting the work for the next year. The editor, with a working knowledge of the features that are good for the book, would not have to go over all the details that has been worked out before weigh and consider old features perhaps new to him, but in reality old. He could bend every effort or the actual improvement of his book

Erected at Santa Fe, New Mexico, by the Spaniards in 1605, the Palace of the Governors is now the residence of the one hundred and first executive. After 307 years it has become the executive mansion in the forty-seventh state in the Union with the admission of New Mexico to the family of states and the inauguration of William C. McDonald as the first governor of statehood.
RICH IN HISTORY
There is little doubt that this is the oldest executive building in North America, and it was peculiarly appropriate that it should have been selected for the recent inaugural ceremony which marked the formal recognition of the oldest settlement of the United States.
ITS GREAT AGE
In no other part of the United States could the old and the new be so thoroughly blended as they were at this reception. The old palace was a blaze of incandescent lights. On the front, in large electric letters, stood out the names of five of the numerous great governors of the territory under Spanish and English rule; Mattle, the first Spanish governor; Mills, the剩territorial governor; McDonald, the new and first state governor; Bent, who was slain at Taos, N. M., and DeVargas who retook the city and territory from the Indians in 1692, after 10 years of struggle.
Former Governor L. Bradford Prince tells of many interesting things which happened in the old palace. He says:
CENTER OF HISTORY
From every point of view it is the most important historical building in the country, and its ultimate use should be as the home of the wonton collections of historical antiquities which New Mexico will furnish.
WILL HOLD MUSEUMS
It antedates the settlement of Jamestown, New Amsterdam and Plymouth and has stood during the three centuries since its erection, not as a cold rock or monument, with no claim upon the interest of humanity except the bare fact of its continued existence, but as the center of everything of historic importance in the Southwest. Through all that long period, whether under Spanish Pueblo, Mexican or American control, it has been the seat of power and authority. Whether the ruler was called viceroy, captain-general, political chief, department commander, or governor, and whether he presided over a kingdom, a province a department, or a territory, this has been his official residence.
This is one of the few old buildings in America which will always be preserved for the territorial legislature gave the building over for the use of the New Mexico Historical Society, the Museum of Archeology, and the School of American Archeology, the latter being the only school of American archeology in the world. Since the building has

It has often been remarked that if you want anything done for the public welfare you must go to the busy man or woman rather than to the one who is doing little or nothing. The latter will probably to you he has no time. Wordsworth said of "countless thousands" who are.
TIME FOR EVERYTHING
"Oppressed and clogged By ease and leisure, by the very
And pride of opportunity made poor."
Have you not known some woman in a boarding house or hotel, who has no one but herself to care for, and yet complains of want of time? And can you not point to some other woman who is a model mother and homemaker, who does her own work, and yet finds time to serve on a church committee or the board of the woman's elub?
Emerson declared that "The poor are only those who feel poor, and poverty consists in feeling poor." May not this apply to the poor in time as well as to the poor in purse? —Christian World.

"One American in 750 is college bred. But 36 per cent of our congressmen, 40 per cent of our senators, 70 per cent of our presidents and 83 per cent of our supreme judges have been college bred men. One physician in 20 is a college graduate—5 per cent. Yet this 5 per cent furnishes 50 per cent of our successful doctors. Twenty-seven out of 68 railroad presidents are college graduates—nearly 40 per cent. And only one man in 750 goes to college.
"The record shows that a college education adds more than 200 per cent to a man's赋能 power. No arithmetic has yet been devised which can estimate the per cent that it adds to one's manliness, usefulness and happiness."—University Missouri.
COLLEGE MEN AUTHORS
Owen Johnson recently made a statement giving it as his opinion that few American writers have been college-bred men. The Yale News, however, presents statistics tending to show the contrary. In fact, out of 759 American writers of fiction, essays or scientific articles, 58 per cent were found to be graduate students, while the faction largest number, 256, is of essayists. Then follow 159 novelists and 27 scientific writers.
Among the colleges, Harvard leads with 83 authors, and Yale follows second, though at some distance. Foreign universities claim 21, Columbia 17, Pennsylvania 16, University of Michigan 4, Amherst and Cornell each 12, Princeton and Williams each 11, Dartmouth 7, and Brown 6. The smaller colleges of the country are well represented, for nearly 50 per cent of the writers included in the graduates' list are from small or medium-sized institutions Less than 4 per cent are members of Phi Beta Kappa.—Rochester Campus.

Nobody ever stops to look at a clay bank until some artist puts it into a picture with a gilt frame and a tag that says $750. Lawrence grew up beside a clay bank, but nobody ever noticed it except the boys who had to go around it on their way to the pasture after the cows. Finally somebody began to bake old-fashioned soft brick out of this clay. Somebody else improved the process. Today Lawrence is paved with its own vitrified brick, and many other cities in Kansas and elsewhere are paved with it. An enormous plant runs night and day to supply the demand.
And there are other opportunities for profitably industry in Lawrence waiting for the man with the insight and ability to develop them.

WHO'S THE SVENGALI AT SALINA "HIGH?"
Some Hypnotist Took $28.89 to Send the Team to Lawrence
Co.
By C. E. McConchie
Salina, March 11—During chapel this morning, after carefully raising the enthusiasm of the students, all their spare change was abstracted for the sending of the basket-ball team to the state championship series at Lawrence.
TRANCE LASTED AN HOUR
Some, even the faculty, were so impressed or perhaps overcome that they gave more than change.
TRANCE LASTED AN HOUR The results of the seance were mainly $28.98, incidentally a very depressed air around the high school an hour afterwards as the students "came to."
This is the first time the students were ever called upon for a collection after chapel services.

GARNETT STICKS TO THE OLD COMMENCEMENT
Garnett High School, March 13—The seniors received the subjects for their graduation orations today. The Garnett high school has been using the plan of having the students furnish the commencement program for a number of years. There was some talk of having a commencement speaker, but the people of the town would rather hear the students, because lectures by outsiders can be heard any time.
The majority of the seniors, however, would rather have someone else furnish the "show."
EQUAL SUFFRAGE WINS
AT KANSAS CITY HIGH
By Pines Dunn
Kansas City, Kansas, High School, March 13—The greatest debate ever held in the Kansas City, Kansas, high took place last Friday between two factions of the senior history classes under Prof. I. B. Morgan. For many weeks there has been a growing sentiment in the school over the question of equal suffrage. Starting with the senior classes, the question received so much attention that at the final moment the whole school was involved.
During the debate which was decided for equal suffrage, a little woman walked into the hall. She was unnoticed until she began to applaud the heroic defense of the Equal Suffragists. At the close of the debate she asked for an opportunity to address the audience. She was Mrs. J.B. Wallace, the state suffrage speaker. Coming at the time she did, she was much applauded for her speech and her stand for women.
SOLDIERS SHOVEL SNOW
FROM HIGH SCHOOL ROOF
By Walter Hill
Leavenworth High School, March 13-For the first time in many seasons the Leavenworth high school cadet company did some real work. When the company assembled for drill this morning Prof. Carrothers asked for volunteers to shovel the snow from the roof of the school building. The snow had banked high on the roof and the water had leaked into the assembly hall.
The boys went home and changed their uniforms for old clothes and returned to school armed with shovels of every description. They mounted to the roof and in about an hour and a half the roof was clear of snow.

CURATOR CURATES THE PHYSICS CLOCK
Long Expected Information Regarding Chronological Aberrations on Mt. Oread
To the Daily Kansan:
In response to your valued favor of recent date, requesting in a spirit of civic helpfulness that the idiocycrises of the Physics Clock be investigated, I have the honor to report the following:
First. The contention of the Entomology department that the chronological aberrations of the P. C. are due to pigeons roosting on the hands is untenable. Careful computations made during minute (get it? minute) experimentations show that, when a pigeon or two bill and coo on the hour hand when, say, the P. C. points to three p. m., the action of the time-piece is accelerated. However, it has been found that this variability is met by other pigeons roosting on the hour hand, at say, nine o'clock, thus retarding the flow of time.
So much for the hour hand. Figures tabulated on the minute hand show on the one hand a distinct gradation of time lost while on the other hand it is made up, who goes to show that the moral obloquy of the P. C. is deeply felt—otherwise why its two hands continually before its face?
Therefore this office finds, First:
That the Entomology department evidently had in mind, First: A cuckoo clock.
Trusting that this carries the meaning which we intend, and assuring you we shall be glad to cooperate with you in every way toward the conservation of time.
I am, Sir, Yours in the works,
Cussedodian of the Physics Clock.

His brilliant cardinal coat, flashing against a white bank of snow crossed with bright blue shadows, is a winter picture, long to be remembered.

A little later in the spring, we will hear his love song to his mate, and her coquettish answering whistle. In early June, with the opening of the first roses, somewhere among the rose vines of your neighbor's porch, or in some secluded tangle in North Hollow, they will build their dainty nest.
Then will Mr.Cardinal,except when he is sitting on the nest,unrestrained give voice to his happiness,while very sweetly from the nest does Mrs. Cardinal softly echo his sentiments. The moment she begins singing, a choral chorus of very charming choruses are rendered by these domestic songsters.
Perhaps he is aware that her soft grey-greenish frock with its suggestion of red, blends completely with the color of the rose leaves, and ever her hand, she wears a pink band. She dares what very few birds venture to do, she sings on the nest.
100 frequently, the Cardinal is called a "red-hird," but this name does not distinguish him from the tanagers and certain red inches. Most people he goes to the triplet nemes of Cardinals Cardinalis. A, P. B.

GOLLEGE ACCEPTS PROFS' CHALLENGE
Will Meet Faculty Basket Ball Team Saturday Afternoon
THE MEDICOS IN ATTENDANCE
Faculty Supporters Will Use Brand New Yells to Urge Their Athletic Heroes to Victory.
The College basketball team has finally accepted the challenge of the athletic members of the University Council.
The game will be played Saturday afternoon. The entire faculty of the School of Medicine will be present to aid in the obsequies.
Greatly wroth at the levity with which the students at first received their challenge the faculty declare that they are out for gore.
The studies are saying little, but every member of the team smiles is a sinister way. The cause of their mysterious and seemingly malicious mirth is still a cause for speculation.
The captain of the College five was reticent when asked the reason for the grim grins of his teammates. "We are very glad of the opportunity to play the faculty," he said. "I hear that it is their intention to use many substitutes. We hope that every Prof. on the hill gets into the game. Wouldn't a holiday on Monday look good to you?"
The leader of the University Council team was more willing to talk, in fact he gloried in the opportunity. "It will be a delightful experience," he said. "Long have we awaited the opportunity to show the undergraduate that faculty superiority was not mental alone. Our team will outplay the College. Not only that, but our supporters will out cheer their followers. A new cry was adopted at the last meeting of the council, something like this:
Razzle, Dazzle, Hobble Gobble
Sis, Boom, Bah
Sis, Boom, Bah
Faculty, Faculty,
Poh Poh Poh
Rah, Rah, Rah.
After we have been victorious our cheer will be;

Over one hundred and thirty men are expected to compete, in this meet, the first meet of what is expected to become an annual afair.
The meet will be a handicap affair in order that the new men will have an equal chance in competing with the varsity athletes. The meet will be open to entries till Monday night in order that the men who have not yet entered will be given a chance to enter.

Composed of the Girls the Order of the Eastern Star
FINAL NOTICE!
Special maple ice cream at Wiedemann's.—Adv.
The Daleth chapter of the national Achoth sorority was installed here yesterday with nine members This is a sorority of college girls who are members of the Order of the Eastern Star, an auxiliary of the Masonic Order. Other chapters are at the Universities of Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois.
The chapter is composed of the following:
Honorary members—Miss Anna Hutt, Miss Nelle McFarland and Mrs. Lotta Amick.
Alumni member—Miss M. Fay Holloway.
The "Sons of Ichabod" are tired of having a faculty committee take charge of the date book, so they have appointed a committee of students, representing each of the organizations in school. The Student Council is appointed by the Council. The success of the Student Council here is their main argument with the faculty to gain self-government.
The Washburn College students are organizing a system of student government like the one in force at the University of Kansas.
Active Members—Leona Calene Genevieve Gilbert, Mary Schuchart Florence Totten, and Hazel Dawson
Patroness—Mrs. Sadie Hilliard.
WASHBURN WANTS A

THE BOHEMIANS FEAST
A Big Spread in the Studid Is All Just Fun
Amid canvases, palettes daubs of crimson and smears of ochre, the University painters feasted at high noon on the thirteenth of the month. The girls of the Fine Arts department were clad in big brown aprons, streaked with new blue, and chrome yellow, and all the colors the palette affords.
Palettes were not used for plates nor brushes for chop-sticks, however; the co-eds were too dainty for that. Each brought her plate and spoon, and a dozen devilled eggs, or box of sand-wiches.
But that was not the end of the jollification. Some of the young ladies are enthusiastic members of the W.A. A. so they proposed a relay race in the hall. The freshmen lined up on one side, the sophomores on the other. At the word "go", the excitement began, the sophomores won by day a very narrow margin. They attribute their victory to the fact that they had one less heloble-skirt than the freshmen.
The professors and the two more men in the department were invited to participate.
Enter Mr. Deceratherium Cooki
For a Museum
Engagement
Another Deceratherium cooki has arrived at the University. Don't be alarmed. It will not bite. It is simply the skeleton of one of the pre-historic tridactyl, or three-toed animals. The skeleton is that of a primitive Rhinoceros, and is remarkably whole and complete in almost every detail, from the tiny bones in the long, slender tail to the nails on the toes. It was found by a Carnegie Museum expedition on a ranch at Agate Springs fossil quarries, in north-eastern Nebraska. The University museum received it from the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburg, exchanging for it a Platygonus Willisonti, or species of wild Peceary, Little restoration will have to be done on the skeleton as it is almost perfectly preserved.
H. T. Martin, assistant Curator at the museum, says that six weeks will be required to mount the skeleton, after work has been begun on it. When completed, Mr. Deceratherium cook will stand about four feet high, and six feet and a half long, but even with these measurements, the specimen is regarded as a small type of those strange beasts that used to roam over this country.

LECTURED TO 400 TEACHERS
Must Provide For Students Individual Needs or Be Reckoned Failures.
"The purpose and aims of the high schools of the country are undergoing a radical change at the present time," said Prof. Calvin Olin Davis, of the University of Michigan, at the general session of the high school Conference Friday evening in Fraser hall. "And instead of the high school being simply a place for pupils to acquire a little more culture, it is becoming more and more to be a training school for all classes of students."
"Many high schools are now offering courses in manual training, domestic science, industrial, vocational, and commercial branches," continued Professor Davis, "and educators are beginning to see that each pupil who enters the high school has an individual need, and unless this need is provided for, the high school fails in its purpose to a greater or less extent."
Professor Davis advocated a complete change in the organization of the high school, and recommended a closer connection between the grades and the high school. He also suggested a six-year plan, where the grades as being a more feasible plan for the accomplishment of the desired end.
"In the six-year high school course, five distinct departments should be maintained," said Professor Davis, "and these would consist of a college preparatory course, a general course for students who have no deloitte qualification, and commercial, educational, and industrial courses for students who do not intend to continue their school work.
SUPT. LOWTHER TELLS
OF TEACHERS WHO FAIL
RURAL SCHOOLS ARE PROBLEM OF NATION
The Friday afternoon session of the High School Conference met at two o'clock in the assembly room of Snow hall with Prof. A. S. Olin as chairman.
The first speaker was Supt. L. A. Lowther of Emporia, who had as his subject, "Analysis of Types of Teachers Who Fail." Supt. Lowther said, "A failure to make good in teaching is in the natural order of things. It has its analogy in the commercial world.
"Failures in teaching may be put in any of four distinct classes. The first is he who has insufficient training. The second is he who is, in one way or another, lacking in teaching power. The teacher who talks too much, lacks this essential. "Textbook" or "note" teachers have not this power. The third class is he who is not a clear thinker. He makes no organized effort to gather and classify the conclusions reached. The fourth is he who lacks in personality. Personal power and teaching skill go hand in hand."
Superintendent F. L. Pinet of Parsons spoke on "Checking up school conditions through Co-operation with the Teachers."
"The school superintendent possesses more power," he said, "than any member of the school board or even more than the board collectively but there is no one more dependent on others. He must have the help of his teachers."
Superintendent L. W. Mayberry of Iola talk on "The Professional Relation of the School Supervisor to his Corps of Teachers." Superintendent Mayberry said in part: "Every successful administrator in school work must have a system of ideals which he hopes to attain Some are guided by the doctrine of formal discipline while others are strictly utilitarian, but whatever his ideal may be it is absolutely essential to his success. His policy should ge tentative, however, rather than fixed."
"They Are the Weak Link in Our Educational System."
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 16, 1912
SO SAID HON. E. T. FAIRCHILD
First Session of High School Conference Opened Auspiciously Dr. Crumbine Spoke
Almost a hundred teachers were in attendance at the first session of the conference of teachers of accredited high schools and academies of Kansas, which was held in Fraser immediately after the regular chapel exercises. Chancellor Strong opened the meeting with a few words of welcome and following him Hon. E. T. Fairchild, State Superintendent of Public Instruction and chairman of the National Committee on Rural Schools spoke on "The Weak Link in Our Educational System."
HELP THE RURAL SCHOOLS
"The next five years, I have every reason to believe, will be the richest and best in the way of developing the elementary schools that this country has ever seen," said Superintendent Fairchild. "The nation is awakening to the problem of the rural schools and for the first time this subject will be given a place in the meetings of the National Educational Committee which will be held in Chicago in July.
Superintendent Fairchild set forth the challenge to the teachers for leaders in this movement of improving the country schools. He stated that one reason for the conditions of the school was the uneducated condition of the farmer, his unwillingness to tax himself.
Following Superintendent Fairchild, Dr. S. J. Crumbine, Secretary of the State Board of Health, spoke on "Public Health and Public Education."
GET FRESH AIR
"Pupil, teacher, and parent should know that simplified breathing is more important than simplified spelling," asserted Dr. Crumbine. "The mental and physical development of the child should go hand in hand in our educational system. It has been said that a flabby muscle indicates a flabby will.
Dr. Crumbine pointed out that the teacher, as well as the child, should be mindful of her physical condition. He said that nervousness in the teacher is often transmitted to the pupil; that the nervousness of the teacher often leads to unfairness immaturity and discontent.
"It must be learned that disease centers soon register themselves in the school room. The teacher should keep a close watch for pupils with adenoides, defective eyes, and those with colds."
In closing his talk Dr. Crumbie stated that this was an age of prevention and that the conditions which prevent the spread of disease should not be neglected. In this connection he advised the study of sanitation and hygiene in the public schools.

Summer Session Will Be Enlivened by Its Own Publication.
Announcement was made yesterday through the Summer Session catalogue of new courses in journalism, physical training, and physiology, to be offered this summer. In connection with the newspaper course, a Summer Session Kansas will be published.
"A new feature of Summer Session life," run the announcement, "will be the appearance of a tri-weekly college newspaper, edited by students in journalism. The Summer Session Kanan will contain all official and student organization announcements, campus events and meetings." It will do much to acquaint individuals with the life of the whole student body, and to unify the interests of all."
Two courses are offered in journalism.
The Newsman, and the Short-Story.
Each member of the visiting basket ball team will receive a pin souvenir of the tournament in the shape of a small flat sterling silver basket ball. The souvenir for the boys will be a button and that for the girls a stick pin. The pins are similar on the face and have the words 'Fifth tournament 1912' around the edge and a raised K in the center.
Coach Hamilton will offer two courses in basket ball and track athletics, designed especially for teachers who wish to teach in these branches of sport.
The enrollment of the Summer Session has steadily increased each year. Between 450 and 500 students are expected this year.
SILVER BASKET-BALLS FOR THE CONTESTANTS
The course in physiology, hygiene and sanitation will be given by Dr. Hyde. This course was offered several years ago and the demand has been such that it will be included again this year.
April 18.
Annual Smoker Will Be Hee in Ecke's on Thursday, April 18.
Arrangements are being completed for the annual senior smoker which will be held Thursday evening, April 18, in Ecke's hall. It is planned this year to have the senior class in each school put on some stunt, and also to provide some additional features for the amusement of those present.
"We went to get the seniors in the different schools better acquainted this year," said Earl F. Ammons, president of the class, "And we believe that this plan of having the senior class from each school put on a stunt will bring them closer together."
Two committees have been appointed to look after the program and the "feed" which will of course be one of the important events of the evening. On the program committee are Robert E. Lee, chairman, Byron L. Shinn, and Martin K Thomen. On the refreshment committee are George H. Stuckey, chairman, Harry Weaver, and George F Beezley.
Reception For Visitors.
President King and President Sanders who are here for the Bible Institute, will be entertained by Prof. A. M. Wilcox while in Lawrence. A reception will be given them for members of the faculty by Professor Wilcox at his home on Monday evening, March 19th at eight o'clock.

FOUR GIRLS' TEAMS STILL IN THE RACE
Reno County, Wamego, Osa watomie, and Chanute in Semi-Finals
OURNAMENT THE BEST EVER
Hutchinson, Conceded the Champion ship, Defeated by Reno County After a Hard Battle.
The opening rounds of the classiest girls' basketball ball tournament ever seen in the Missouri Valley colsed yesterday afternoon with Osawatomie, Reno county, Chanute, and Wamego all stong candidates for first honors.
Osawatime and Reno county will decide who is to enter the finals while Chanute and Wamego are urguing the same question.
The surprise of the afternoon came when Reno county defeated Hutchinson which has been conceded to be the probable cup winner.
There was some trouble over the referees as some of the officials we unused to working in girls' contests and were somewhat lax in calling technical fouls. The result was that some of the teams which desponded on them with the risk that they had smaller scores than they would otherwise have made.
The most of the games were closely contested and clearly played throughout.
First Round—Girls

The Hutchinson girls team outclassed Burlingame in the opening game of the Girls tournament. The score was 67 to 6. The smaller girls tried nobly but were able to do little with her hands badly and they won "Hutch." The winners played basket ball in a whirlwind fashion seldom seen among women teams in the west.

KANSAS STATE TITLE IS STILL IN DOUBT
Four Teams Must Decide Basket Ball Supremacy of State.
SEMI FINALS THIS MORNING
Wintfeld, Reno County, Iola ana
Baldwin Will Fight it Out For
The Cup.
Baldwin, Iola, Reno County and Winfield will battle for the basket ball supremacy of Kansas today.
Out of the eighteen boys' teams entered these four are the only survivors. The games between Reno and Iola and between Baldwin and Winfield this morning will decide the teams that will enter the final battle.
Of all that basket ball tournaments that have been played since the University first instituted the annual high school event, this year's affair has been the most satisfactory. True, there were less teams than on one other occasion, but this was more than offset by a basket ball game that the competitors displayed to have so many strong teams struggled for the state leadership. The games, with one or two exceptions have been evenly matched, and fiercely fourth.
Several of the teams who were expected to be close contestants for the final victory dropped out in the early rounds. Some because of 'hard' conditions, some because they ran against a dark horse and were defeated after a heroic struggle.
First Round.
The semi-finals game in both the boys and the girls tournaments are are scheduled to begin at 10 o'clock this morning.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
WE'RE GLAD TO SEE YOU!
If you would have a faithful servant and one that you like, serve yourself
WE'RE GLAD TO SEE YOU! The University welcomes its visitors, members of the conference of high schools and academies and the entries in the interscholastic basketball tournament. The campus and the University buildings are placed at your disposal and it is hoped that you will all want to return to form a better acquaintanceship than the short stay this time will permit.
Do not hesitate to ask anyone for any information you may desire while you are here, for that is what the students are here for—to answer questions and aid in any way possible. The University itself is a democracy and all of the students are good fellows, anxious to make the visiting people feel at their ease. This place belongs to you as well as those who are here now, and it is your right to learn about it.
Any new features that have have been acquired for the campus since the old graduates' day at the University anyone will be glad to tell about.
Lunchone in Robinson gymnasium Saturday noon has been provided for the members of the Teachers' Association, and the Glee club will entertain with a part of their program The athletic association has made arrangements for the entertainment of the high school athletes from the time they arrive till they depart.
WEAKNESS OF SLANG
Although the war correspondent reports a hot engagement, the Laws think they got a cold reception.
Professor O'Leary tells his students that he knows what they mean when they say they are "peeved," but he advises the use of some other phrase.
"Slang should be avoided," added Professor O'Leary. "There is entirely too much of it heard on the campus."
To cultivate tast and discrimination in the use of the English language, the faculty of the department of English advise the students to avoid the use of all such terms as:
It's up to you.
I don't think.
Not on your life.
You can search me.
I guess.
That's going some.
Can you beat it?
Sure I will.
That looks quite spiffy.
There's some class to that.
Are you on?
That's awfully nice.
It's a cinch.
Oh fudge!
Cut it out.
Talking to beat the band.
They're not in it.
It's all bosh.
Nothing doing.
That's nifty.
Never again.
Cough up!
He has nothing on me.
The surest thing, you know.
She is sneezed at.
That's the real thing.
Not by a long shot.
I see his finish.
Get the hook.
That will be about all.
The members of the faculty of the English department are right in their condemnation of slang expressions and phrases. Investigation will show that slang itself is invented and used by those minds too weak to think and express themselves in pure English—it is the lazy man's discourse.
The use of slang by the average undergraduate in the University is probably restricted to his speech and conversation. The gross erora put in black and white often disgust the writer, who may turn, in the next moment, to a friend and let fall such an expression as "I get you," meaning "I understand," or "Not to be sneezed at" for "Not to be disrewarded."
It is a habit that may faster itself upon students—a habit indicating slovenice and one that should be uprooted. The English department is taking active steps to eradicate from both the written and the oral discourse of the students the custom of slang using, and they should receive the co-operation in this of fort of all the students of the University. It is only fitting that University people should not be forced to revert to subterfuges in the English languages for the expression of their thoughts.
If the University is a great training school for clear, discriminating thinking, if its graduates, as leaders, are to mold, crystallize and enunciate the opinions of their communities, undergraduates should make the best use of every means to acquire power and force in their discourse—the power that slang can never give.
Dire punishment is promised to the person who inscribes his name on the exhibits in the Museum and gets caught at it. It has been suggested that a fitting way of treating with such an individual would be to have his bones "curated," his hide stuffed and the specimen placed in one of the cases.

Both the junior young women and the junior young men have been set at ease regarding their affair of the cabs and the flowers for the Promnade. The fair sex did not want to be the cause of too much expense for their young men—it is said that the Prom costs a lot anyway—but they did want those cabs and flowers.
It was an excellent way out of a difficult position that they finally selected—one that allowed them to assume the virtues of self-sacrifice, but at the same time, did not close the doors entirely to the cabs and flowers.
However, their diplomacy was for nought. The management has officially asked that the coveted conveyance be tabooed on the grounds that it is the cause of the late arrivals for the farce. Something is due to the manager that can summon up courage enough to issue an edict such as that and expect to dance at the Pron himself.
"Columbia University's trustees passed the annual budget, which amounts to $3,159,730.28, $132,000 less than the estimated expenditure for the year ending July 1, 1912. The amount appropriated included funds necessary for the work as well as the support of the educational system."
Kansas manages to get along on a sixth of that amount.
WHAT OTHERS GET.
A New York paper says:
In the old days, when men were allowed to have many wives, a midnight dress was in fashion and he was old and one that was young; each loved him very much, and desired to see him like herself. Now the Man's hair was turning grey, which the young Wife did not like, as it made him look old. The older man might night she used to comb his hair and pick out the white ones. But the elder Wife saw her husband growing grey with great pleasure, for she did not like to be mistaken for his sister, but they arrange his hair and pick out as many of the black ones as she could. The consequence was the Man soon found himself entirely bald.

THE HOI POLLOI
"According to the report of the university physical director, the great majority of the freshmen are physically imperfect; that is, some have uneven shoulders, others have hips on plumb, and still others crooked spines and undeveloped chests," commented the Post Grad. "We wonder what has become of the fabled college boy who, like Ralph Rose, could beat up two or three ordinary men in a rough-and-tumble fight.
HOI POLLOI UNDERDEVELOPED.
"In spite of our athletic records—we won the Olympic games at London, you remember —our average young man is certainly not above the German youth in robustiousness or the Englishman either, whom we generally consider as living on tea and wafers and playing cricket once and awhile for exercise. Development of a few stars has brought underdevelopment of the hoi polloi on the athletic field.
"And it's the hoi polloi that must take their place in the fightin' ranks in time of peace, as well as war. The German nation, with compulsory drill, takes fine care of her young men because it pays, and some time, despite our Hague tribunals, it's going to pay when stamina, as well as gilt, is needed. The Americans are a trifle behind in proper physical upbringing of the boy.
"It has too often been pointed out that our system of school athletics is shortsighted. We have plenty of examples thrust before us of the country boy who makes good in competition with the city-bred youth. A good body makes a clear brain has been said many times that it has become刻ite, but still our school directors keep on appointing teachers

FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
And of this let every one be assured—that he owes to the impassioned books which he has read, many a thousand more of emotions than he can consciously trace back to them. Dim by their origination, these emojis would have made him through life like the forgusted children of childhood.
who know nothing whatever of the best methods of training and instructing young men in athletics to coach our high school track teams and take charge of gym classes.
—THOMAS DE QUINCY.
"A former university assistant physical director, however, who has spent most of his life studying physical training is engaged as athletic director at one of the city high schools. He will get results, and the boys that come to the university from his school will probably have fewer physical defects that the present crop of high school grads.
A HABIT EASILY FORMED.
"Athletes for everybody with the strenuousness cut out except for the few that are really stars is the thing to be desired. Give the boy a liking for exercise and play in the prep school, and he will take good care of his physical condition when he becomes a college man. The girl who used to be considered a hothouse plant is now allowed to romp and play, and is clinging because he won no change is out of order. There is no reason why every American should not be a manly man, and a reasonable adjustment between study and play will make him so, and keep him so."
"If the youth wants to get away from home in the summer to work in the harvest fields, his parents should let him go. He will be better off than loafing listlessly at home attending the professional baseball games every afternoon for exercise."—Washington Daily.
SEVERITY FOR STUDENTS
There should be no dalying with undergraduates lawbreakers, no special exemptions for students says a writer in the Century. Reprehensible, and even criminal, acts have been committed by college men in the last few years which called for more punishment than seemingly they received.
It is no kindness to the undergraduate to overlook acts of dishonesty, ruthless destruction of property or dissipated license. Respects for property and decency should be impressed upon a boy before he reaches college age. It is because law-lessness has been tolerated by parents in the home, as well as by overlenient masters at bording school, that we read continually in the press of offenses against common sense and respectability committed by persons of supposed cultivation.
WELLESLEY GIRLS REBEL
Taxation without representation is tyranny, argue the Wellesley undergraduates, who have eschewed the fountain pen while in the sacred precincts of the college library in accordance with an adjective used with the rest of the students with the rest of the students for a bill for cleansing the desk desks, tables and woodwork of inkstains
Miss Henrietta S. Brooks, college librarian, presented a bill of $26 for unpaid damages in this respect to the student government association.
These girls are indignant over the assessment and charges that they have willfully broken rules laid down by the institution.
Some of the members were for ignoring the bills, but it was decided to pay it. The assessment means that they had received a total of several cents—Washington Post.

And burst the cannon's roar:—

Where knelt the vanquished foe.
Where knelt the vanquished foe,
When winds were hurrying 'd'er the

Nor would he hear his calling.
No more shall feel the victor's tread.
Or know the conquered knee: —

Set every threadbeard gill.
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms.
And give her to the god of storms,

Nobody ever stops to look at a clay bank until some artist puts it into a picture with a gift frame and a tag that says $750. Lawrence grew up beside a clay bank, but nobody ever noticed it except the boys who had to go around it on their way to the pasture after the cows. Finally somebody began to bake old-fashioned soft brick out of this clay. Somebody else improved the process. Today Lawrence is paved with its own vitrified brick, and many other cities in Kansas and elsewhere are paved with it. An enormous plant runs night and day to supply the demand.
And there are other opportunities for profitably industry in Lawrence waiting for the man with the insight and ability to develop them.

STATE ENTOMOLOGIST
SAVES HIS OWN FRUIT
Prof. Hunter by Scientific Methods Raises Apples Where Others Fail.
THEY BROUGHT FANCY PRICES
Two Professors in Unacademic Overalls Allm起 Triple Best Yield of Former Orchard Owner.
This is a story of a professor who tried some of his own medicine.
Samuel J. Hunter, professor of entomology at the University, had for sixteen years been trying to convince the farmers of Kansas that a little study applied to their orchard wounds double the堡 from their own. The堡 was his first exhortations that he finally came to believe his own advice.
A little over a year ago he and Prof. A. T. Walker of the Latin department leased a ten-acre orchard near Lawrence. They paid the owner the most he had ever beered able to make from it in a single year, $30 an acre. The professors rented it at old oak plying the laboratory methods Prof Hunter had been teaching all his life.
Doctoring his own trees as a family doctor would look after his patients, picking the apples at just the right time, packing them scientifically, and storing them by text book Prof. Hunter watched his neighbors pick apples in a crop apples at $1.75 per bushel. This was last summer.
Last week the two "theoretica professors" sold their entire stock at the store-rooms for three dollars: a bushel.
And there were quite a few bush-els. The money in hand from the apples, scientifically raised on ter acres that had never before brought in but $300 to the owner, amounted to a little over $800.
And, as Professor Hunter remark:
apologetically, everybody knows that last year was not the best in the world for apples.

PRAISE EXTENSION
PACKAGE LIBRARY
Information Sought on All Subjects----50 to 75 Packages Sent Out Weekly.
"The material you sent me was great. It enabled me to prepare a fine paper and use material I couldn't possibly have gotten elsewhere." So writes a club woman from Emporia, thanking Prof. R. R. Price of the Extension department, for the assistance she had received through the package library system in use by that department.
Every day Professor Price is receiving numerous letters from all over the state, thanking him for assistance received and asking him for information on law, politics, suffrage, religion, education, economics and history. Many of these letters are from club women or from people who are preparing papers or speeches for public address.
Professor Price showed one package weighing about four pounds ready to be sent out to a lady who had requested material on the subjects of socialism, rural schools and single tax system. This package contained tracts, bound magazine articles from current magazines, and newspaper clippings from metropolitan papers on the subjects.
These packages are sent out to the inquirers by mail or express at the express of the patron no other charges are made but the packages are to be returned at the end of two weeks. From fifty to seventy-five packages are sent out every week by the Extension Department.
The work is open to any student in the University who desires a course in photography that will give a theoretical as well as a practical knowledge of the art. The course is without credit.
In answer to a request from a number of students, Prof. W. A. Griffiths has organized a class in artistic photography which will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays at 4:30 o'clock in room 301 in the Administration building. The class will begin next week.
New cameras have been ordered and two dark rooms have been fitted up.

NEW HYGIENE COURSE SO THE OLD CHECK FOR SUMMER SESSION STAND IS NO MORE
Dr. Hyde Plans Work for Teachers in Physiology and Sanitation.
One of the popular new course announced for the Summer Session this year is that of physiology, hygiene and sanitation, under the direction of Professor Hyde. The course is designed for teachers who have physiology, hygiene and sanitation work in the preparatory schools.
The course is another move on the part of the University to assist the state board of health in its effort to teach the people the value of preventive medicine. It also supports the plea of Supt. Fairchild for better instruction in hygienic physiology for the lower schools.
It is a five hour course, and will consist of lectures, recitations, demonstrations, and laboratory experiments; a study of physiological topics as a foundation to hygiene of the school room, home, personal, and industrial children; and investigation of environment upon health and development.
"In the grades and high schools," said Dr. Hyde this morning, "time must be found for proper instruction to safeguard health and morals There has gradually developed with in recent years a world-wide plea for better living conditions, as the first step toward higher efficiency in schools. This is of special importance because of its appplication to human life in its early stages. The aim is to educate the mind without weakening the body.
"Since human vitality depend upon two primary conditions, heredity and hygiene, a knowledge of these laws should be brought within the reach of all by various educational agencies, and especially within reach of all teachers, whether they teach physiology or any other ology The individual must be taught to estimate properly the value of this knowledge in the application of daily life."

County
University to Learn Causes of Mine Disasters in Crawford Country

Professor Haworth has received a number of letters from unofficial sources asking the same thing. The University will start an investigation at once.
NEW REQUIREMENTS IN
ENGLISH AT DEPAUW
The authorities at DePauw University have decided to do away with three and five hour courses in Freshman English and to give straight four hour courses for all students.
Under the present system two difficulties have been experienced. It has been found that the three hour course is not large enough to do the freshmen the greatest amount of good, while the classes of five hours required more work than the department is able to handle. The four hour medium will consequently be adopted beginning with next year. Correspondingly, the requirement in English work will be reduced from ten to eight hours.

Students, Grown Trustful Stopped Checking Things, but the Name Lingers.
"Candy Sale Friday at 'Check Stand.'"
"Pay your Dues at 'Check Stand'
in Fraser hall."
"Secure your Oread Magazine at
Old Check Stand."
And thus is the space between the telephone booths in Fraser hall brought into prominence. Many and varied are the comments as to why one small table should be called a "check-stand." Well, there's a reason. Though it is not a check stand now, many of the older students in the University remember how glad they once paid over their fifty cents per term to insure the hats, coats and umbrellas.
"The custom originated seven eighteen years ago," said Ed E. Brown, secretary and purchaser of the University. "There used to be a railing across the west alveore there, and some responsible student would secure the check-stamp concession from the University Tickets would be sold among the students for fifty cents a term, enabling them to check their valueable the peckers assume three responsibility for them, as is done at a railway station. At the end of the year the man in charge would have to give the University an account of the money received.
"In 1908 the University itself took a hand in the affair, allowing the manager of the stand to hire responsible students to look after it. But it was hardly a paying proposition and in the fall of 1911 was discontinued. The engineers and others had new quarters, and many of the remaining students did not care to check their belongings."
But the term "Check Stand" is very familiar to all except the newcomers, and will doubtless become one of those traditional names common at all schools.

Eight hundred students of the University of Arkansas went on a strike recently, following the expulsion by the faculty of the thirty-six members of the staff of the X-ray, a student publication.

The strike lasted several days and the residents at Fayetteville received instruction insurgents refused to meet a grievance committee appointed by the faculty, but instead on dealing directly with the Board of Trustees.

Junction City Principal Walked Home from Railroad
Wreck.
By Harold Rohrer
Junction City High School, March 12—J. W. Shideler, principal of the high school, had an experience which he is not apt to forget for some time.
Mr. Shideler left Saturday morning on the Katy for Emporia but came back home instead. The train got along fairly well until within a few miles of Parkerville where the freezing snow between the rails had spread the rails causing the cars to leave the track.
Mr. Shideler then walked the twenty miles between the scene of the wreck and Wilford, where he got a ride home with some farmer boys. Besides a tired feeling and a chapped face Mr. Shideler is none the worse for his adventure.
The cars fell against the side of the cut in the drift, thus averting an accident.

Ablene High School, March 14—How would you like having a vacation granted one minute and revoked the next? The happy thoughts of a day and a half's holiday dashed to the ground? That's exactly what happened here today. The entire faculty were to have left this noon to attend the teachers' conference at Lawrence—but the trains weren't running, and they had to stay. Tomorrow, if they can leave, they will and in the meantime the students are praying for fair weather and good train service.

Debating Societies Flourish Hutchinson has now three literary and debating societies among its students, the McCarter and the Adelphic societies among the girls and the House of Representatives for the boys. The House recently started a campaign for new members, and it now has over forty on its roll. Sessions are held each Thursday evening of the school year. The speaker is William Burnett.
Hutchinson High School, March 13 —Thursday evening, April 11th, has been chosen as the date for the junior-senior banquet. This banquet is an annual affair given in honor of the senior class by the juniors, at the Bisonte hotel.
Liked The German Edition
The German classes were enthusiastic over the German page in the recent Kansan. The freshman class contented itself with translating the jokes and the easier articles, then German went after it in earnest and worked out the whole page.
"Six," as he is familiarly known, has pitched for three years on this school's nine, and has been the terror of Central Kansas high schools.

"Wichita high school has a uniform and efficient lunch room system which surpasses any of the larger high schools that I have recently visited," said Prof. L. M. Allen, principal of Wichita High School, morning. This is true in spite of the fact that the lunch rooms of Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis high schools.
"Our prices have been criticised but this is unjust, because we serve the best meals in quality and quantity, at the smallest price possible. A few items from our schedule will prove m statement.
Meats, 5e; Vegetables 3e. Desserts,
such as ice cream and ple 5e. Chill
and serve.
"And another good point is that the students are all loyal in the support of the lunch room and have proven their loyalty to us."<sup>1</sup> The city papers, in defense of the prices,
"Iimprovement has also been made in the course of study. Musical appreciation, harmony, public speaking and physical education have been added. Public speaking has been of especial help to our debaters this term."
"Taking everything in consideration" said Professor Allen with a knowing wink, "Wichita feels she has put her $100,000 to good use when she invested it in her new high school."

AHA!!! PROFS QUITTERS
Now Allege That Basket-Ball Challenge Was a Rank
Fake
The Profs, have renigged.
At least thay are trying to get out of meeting their youthful would-be opponents, the College.
It is possible that the representatives of the University Council may still be shamed into meeting the student team.
In answer to this the Profs disclaimed all claim of the making of the challenge. The manager offered to show the captain the challenge that was issued to the College. This challenge was neatly typewritten.
In an effort to bring the meeting about the Manager, Hamilton, remarked to the leader of the College team that it would be a crushing blow to faculty prestige if the pedagogues withdrew after issuing the challenge and making sundry contemptuous remarks when the College at first chose to ignore it.
If the Profs suceeded in wriggling out of the game—a la Nebraska—the Varsity will take their places and give them a chance to swell the hospital list.
The Head Prof. after carefully reading the challenge many times, remarked that anyone could use a typewriter and that it was his opinion that "The whole thing started in the Kansan office."
The Stevenson Club entertained the Reno county basket-ball team at dinner Friday noon.

WHERE THERE'S A WILL THERE'S AN EDUCATION
Young Women of Kansas Earn Their Way Through University
HOLD MANY KINDS OF JOBS
Care for Children, Cook, Iron, Nurse
Make Candy, Sew, Darn—Not
Handicapped Socially.
By LUCY BARGER
How can I get a college education?
This question has repeated itself many times to Kansas young women, high school graduates and school teachers, but when one of them decided to find a way to come to the University of Kansas last September her investigations brought back the answer that many young students had already solved the question for themselves and 100 to 150 out of 750 young women students were partly or wholly self supporting while getting their college education.
What can a girl do? A very logical question, but the K. U. working girl will tell she does anything and everything she can get to do. Some have taught school or earned their money before coming to the University; many have tutored various kinds while carrying on their University course. These duties range from instructor or stenographer to nurse girl and dishwasher.
EMPLOYMENT BUREAU HELPS.
This year the University Employment Bureau, maintained under the auspices of the Young Women's Christian Association, has located over forty girls in positions that are paying all or part of their expenses. The secretary, Miss Nadia Thomas, keeps on hand a list of a dozen or more girls whom she can call on at any time to go out and take care of babies of mothers whose social duties call them away for an afternoon or evening. At present about fifteen girls live in homes of town and faculty people and earn their expenses by assisting the wife and mother with her household duties. This work pays, on an average, fifteen cents an hour and a girl is expected to put in about three and one-half hours a day for her room and board. In answer to a list of unsigned inquiry blanks sent out by the chancellor last year one girl writes, "I receive my room and board for work done here and I am considered as one of the family which means that I have many advantages. My duties consist in preparing the morning and even meals doing the kitchen work three times a day, and assisting with the Saturday cleaning. My duties are very much as those of an elder daughter would be."
NOT AFRAID OF WORK.
Apparently there is nothing too hard for these girls to do to accomplish their purpose. This is how one girl more than paid her expenses while a student, "From September to November I washed dishes at a frat house and did chamber work and ironing at a club, from November to March, I was in a private family, got up at 3 o'clock every morning, ironed or studied and got breakfast. I had from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. for my classes and took dinner with my dinner and supper dishes and gave a patient bath and massage, then I studied till 12 o'clock. During the summer vacation I nursed $25 per week.
The offices of the University and different organizations among the students afford many lucrative positions to girls as stenographers, assistant instructors, librarian and amanuensis. The sororites and clubs often support one of their less fortunate sisters as stewardess and accountant.
MAKE BUSINESS VENTURES.
Whether due to lack of confidence or to uncertain conditions surrounding the life of the _working student, until the last year or so the idea of starting enterprises on their own responsibility had not been popular with the girls. However many are coming to realize this as the best paying and easiest way of bettering their financial status, and as a result some clever and unique ideas have originated. Making home candy for one of the stores down town is the way one girl found a profitable plan of supporting herself and little sister while she attended the University. This year two girls, one in the law school and the other a junior college, have started a simple dressmaking establishment in their rooms and are doing enough sewing to fill up every spare minute and pay most of their expenses. Another girl in the very center of the
student district, does mending, darning and simple hand sewing for the students of the neighborhood. One clever girl has realized a handsome profit on Irish Crochet collars made in her spare moments, at $2.50 each, besides this she declares, "I do all of my own sewing."
"I believe I could get all the work I could do, if I were better known," says a freshman girl who does hair dressing, shampooing and manicure work, between classes and on Saturday.
Do you find any lack of courtesy on the part of other students because of the fact that you have to work your way? This question appeared on the query blanks sent out by the Chancellor, and always answered. "I have never looked for any," replied a girl who is entirely self supporting. But five out of a possible 150 answers were in the affirmative, two said, "yes; others said, "a little" or "think so." In the majority of cases the answer was a plain emphatic "no," while some seemed to think a double negative would be more expressive and replied, "not in the least," "none whatever and "never."

A Civic Center for Bucklin.
Bucklin, Kanaas, March 14.—The school house at Bucklin is being opened every Wednesday night for the discussion of social and civic center work among the citizens of the town.

CHANCE FOR HUNTERS OF KANSAS FOSSILS
Missing Linkin Vascular Evolution Should Be Found in This State
"This University is great on finding Mesozoic fossils," said Dr. John Coulter, head botanist at Chicago University, in his lecture on "The Evolution of Vascular Plants," at Snow Hall yesterday. "It seems to me," he continued, "you ought to be able to find some valuable pocketets of fossil plants, out there, which would represent the one missing link in the chain of Vascular evolution."
Dr. Coulter made this statement after explaining in his lecture that the chain of evolution in the present higher forms of plant life would be complete if certain forms of fossil plants belonging to the Mesozoic age could be found. These fossils plant belong to the same plant family as our common club mosses, although they are much larger, sometimes being 200 feet tall.
"America has a wealth of fossil material in casts," said Dr. Coulter, "but as yet none have been found that can be sectioned and they are worthless to the botanist in solving the mystery in the evolutionary chain."
HOW THE OLD BOYS
USED TO DO THINGS
From the weekly Kansan March 12, 1898.
Professor Hopkins insists that none of his English Composition students chew gum when class is in session.
"Shorty" Hamill, in practice last Saturday, threw the hammer ninety-seven feet three inches. This was "Shorty's" first day for training for the field meet this spring and the throw beat the University record, held by himself, by five feet.
The following notice signed by Chancellor Snow, was posted on the door of the Law School recitation room: "On account of breakage of furniture by members of the senior law class, this room, number 8, will be closed until further orders, except when the dean of the Law School or some member of the law faculty is conducting a class exercise."
The rain interfered with several parties that had been planned to go to Eudora to hear the Glee club.
If any of the engineers were seen wandering inimelessly about the fields Thursday or Friday, they were neither surveying nor trying to kill time, but were on the lookout for birds to describe for the advanced English class.

Total Amount Earned By University Men is Very
Large.
CLUBS AND LAUNDRIES HELP
Forty-two Boarding Houses Employ Many Students—Washeries and Paper Routes Good as Scholarship.
By STANLEY PINKERTON
Men of the University of Kansas who earn a part or all of their expenses during the school year make not less that a yearly total of forty thousand dollars. Very few students make all of their expenses while attending school, but a large number depend upon making enough to pay their board or room-ment, and many others intend to make only enough to keep their supply of "pin money" up to where it should be.
FIND WORK IN CLUBS.
The University employment bureau, under the direction of the University Y. M. C. M. A. secured work for seventy-five men during the first term of the present school year. Six hundred students reported to the Registrar last year that they were earning a part or all of their expenses while in school. These figures show that a very large percentage of the University men do work outside of their regular college duties.
The boarding clubs employ the largest number of the students who work. At present there are forty-two of these clubs employing from two to six students each, or an average of three. These act as stewards, watters and dish-washers, and get their training in cooking. They figured at four dollars per week, would amount to something near eighteen thousand dollars during the year.
The paper routes probably give employment to the next largest number of students. About twenty men carry the Tropea, Kanaka City, and St. Louis papers. The earnings of these students amount to about a thousand dollars during the school year.
LAUNDRY SCHOLARSHIPS.
About twelve students act as agents for the Lawrence and outside laundries, and earn a total of approximately two thousand dollars the year.
A large number of students are also employed in various other capacities, such as, clerking, typewriting, doing chores, singing and playing, tutoring, and day labor. The amount which these earn is very hard to deter, but a conservative estimate would be fifteen thousand dollars a year.
It may thus be seen, that while a large number of students earn no money while attending school, that there is also a considerable number who earn enough to materially decrease the monthly check from "dad."
DROPS OF SEALING- WAX ON HIS WINGS
Perhaps the Cedar wax-wing is Original of Icarus-Daedalus Myth.
Who knows the why of the red wax drops on the cedar bird's wings? Scientific investigators have been baffled by this simple appearing thing; just drops of sealing-wax-like substance on the secondary wing feathers of the cedar wax-wing. Perhaps it is solely for ornament, and not for sexual attraction as both male and female share alike the handsome decorations. The bright red spots show plainly against the silky grey-brown plumage of the birds.
If there is any one who wishes to try to solve the problem of these wax drops, let him be on the sharp lookout for the cedar bird. He is with us now—for a short time, and as his name indicates he will be found most often among the cedar or everygreen groves, from which he gets his daily food.
Two species visit us in winter. Bomby cilia cedorum, the cedar wax-wing is usually a visitor, while his larger and more handsome relative Bomby cilla, gauxulla, the Bohemian wax-wing, is a circumpolar bird, and is with us only when the winters are long and severe. He is well known in Northern Asia and is beloved by the Japanese artists who have many times paid his beauty tribute in their charming block prints.

WITH A TINY FORCEPS HE ROBS PINE CONES
The Crossbill, Campus Bird. Has Bill Specially Adapted to His Diet.
"Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are" is a truism that can be worked again and again in Natura's laws. Sternly does she inforce structural changes whenever a specialized diet is adopted by a bird, animal or plant.
The crossbill is represented in our state by three or four species. At this time of the year a sharp eyed observer may have chance to see the highly specialized birds, in the campus pines.
These birds are about the size of an English sparrow, but are built more shapey. The color and the peculiar bill of this bird can be observed in the "Birds of the Season" case, on the second floor of the Museum.
The crossbill is a noteworthy example of such a change, due to its peculiar feeding habit. This bird lives exclusively on the cones of the evergreen trees, and, to enable him to reach the fleshy creech seeds, Nature has admirably adapted the bird's bill. The bill is long and curved and the mandibles are crossed, like a pair of scissors. But it is no deformity, only a clover arrangement which greatly facilitates the feeding of the bird.
One bird may have its bill crossed' one way and another bird may have, its bill crossed the other way. The bill of the female may not always be different from that of the male.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS ARE NOT INJURIOUS
Now any
9th 8 a. m.
Have No Permanent Ill Effects Says Dr. Naismith in Medical Times.
TELLS OF KANSAS ATHLETES
A Hundred Old-Timers Wrote, Defining Great Moral and Physical Benefit From Football
In a symposium on "The Effects of Athletics on Young Men," in the March number of the Medical Times, Dr. James Naismith, medical director of the University, has an article on "The After Effects of Athletics."
"When we consider the extreme delicacy of the human frame," says Dr. Naismith, "its fine adjustment to the purpose for which it was created, the unending work of some of the organs, the inability of certain muscles to stop and rest, we may well ask ourselves if it is possible for the body to stand the strain put upon it in some of our athletic contests.
"But our wonder at the possibility of its endurance does not answer the question nor are we justified in jumping at the conclusion that athletics are injurious.
"It is hardly fair to saddle on athletics many of the abuses that, are all too frequently associated with it as well as with most other events which bring men before the public. These men who have engaged in athletics to the extreme, and are still hale and hearty will be found to have avoided many of the excesses which, especially induce diseases of the heart and blood vessels.
PROHIBITION GOOD FOR ATHLETICS
"It may be that the fact that Kansas is a prohibition state modifies any seriously dangerous effect of strenuous exercises.
PROHIBITED GOOD FOR KANSAS
"In a question game, it all the money is played on the football teams of the University of Kansas prior to the year 1907, three questions were asked which may throw some light on the attitude of the living to the effects of the game on the constitution and the individual.
"To the question, 'What injuries did you receive while playing football?' the answers were as follows:
None. . . . .
"These do not represent all the injuries received by all the men of that time, but they were the ones that impressed the player at the time and could be recalled. In the final games played by the University of Kansas this year there was time taken out for a Kansas player only three times, and in two of these games time was taken out but once for injury to a player of either team.
RECOVERY FOUND TO BE GOOD
To the question as to what was the recovery from these injuries the answers were good, except:
Still feel some slight effects, . 3
Not completely recovered, . 3
Not completely recovered . . . . .
Of the three who felt slight results two of them were from bruised muscles in the thigh (Charley horse). The third was an injury to a muscle in the arm which necessitated the removal of the muscle. Of the three that were not completely recovered one was an injury to the neck and two of them were sprained knees.

FUNNY CLOWNS WILL ANOTHER TRYOUT BE CIRCUS FEATURES FOR MAT ARTISTS
Also There Will Be a Good Old Fashioned Concert
Given
Two of the most important features of the indoor circus April 3 will be the superiority of the clown troupe and the superb concert which will be given immediately after the show. Under the direction of Charles Younggreen the ten clowns are being trained and the stunts that are being conceived will be worthy of annual fame. "Silvers" that famous grease paint artist so long with the "largest show on earth" will be depicted by able substitutes in his caricatures of a one man baseball game, the butterfly stunt and other laughable incidents that have long put circus lovers into paroxysms of mirth.
The "Siamese Twins" will put or a performance that can scarcely be equalled on the Orpheum circuit and the "hobo band" will give a serenade that will make future cab parties look to their laurels. To enumerate all the acts that will be put or for public approval that night by this conglomeration of the world's most famous jesters would be telling the story before it is read, but enough has been promised to answer an expression of approval from ever the most critical.
And then comes the concert. For forty-five minutes of good wholesome fun it is going to be hard to beat. It will consist of a five-aet production each act a separate and individual performance in itself. The University quartet will sing, the Lawrence symphony orchestra will render some of its best music Charles Younggreen will give his humorous interpretation of a modern drama and a minstrel show and clown act will bring the after show to a fitting close. At this will be the entire circus it is expected that a large crowd will attend and accommodations in the way of seats are being prepared to receive the largest part of those who will be in attendance at the big show.
ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL
ARRANGED AT HAVARD
Five games have been arranged for the Harvard association football team. Candidates for the team will begin practice as soon as the ground permits.
Schedule of Five Contests For Followers of the Kicking
The Arkansas University baseball team will meet the Pittsburgh "Pirates" at Fort Smith, April 5. This will be the third time the "Razorbacks" have met the "Pirates."
Game.
The schedule of games in the intercollegiate league is as follows: March 23—Cornell. March 27—Yale. April 6—Penn, at Philadelphia. April 8—Haverford, at Haverford. April 13—Columbus, at New York.
For the Third Season Arkansas Team
Will Meet, Big Leaguers
RAZORBACK-PIRATE GAME
In 1910 Arkansas was unable to score on Pittsburgh, the final score being 8 to 0. Last year the Razorbacks allowed the Pirates to pile up 12 points, but they managed to send two men across the plate and the U. of A. fans were well pleased.
New Men Have a Chance Meet the K. C. A. C Wrestlers Here
"Men who have not yet tried out for the wrestling team will be given a chance to show what they can do before the next meet which will probably be with the Kansas City Athletic Club the last of this month," said Coach Root.
"Our showing at the Kansas City Athletic Club tournament was such as to justify our holding a meet with them the latter part of this month on our own mats. This meet will be open to spectators and will probably be staged on mats in the center of the basket-ball court."
Coach Root thinks that with more practice and the experience gained in the K. C. A. C. tournament the men will be able to make the K. C. A. C. grapplers show their best twiw. Coach Root is also expecting to develop some comers from some of the men who were not able to come out in time for the elimination bouts from which the men for the K. C. A. C. tournament were picked
In the tournament at Kansas City the decisions were rendered on the showing of the men in time bouts The showing of the Kansans was such as to make the outcome of the bout to a finish doubtful.
HARVARD HAS 9 GAMES
Minnesota Not Given Place On The Crimson's Football Schedule
The announcement of the list was delayed until after the meeting of the football rules committee, Harvard not caring to tie itself to as difficult a schedule as she went through with a year ago if the rules were changed to make as hard a season as last inadvisable. All of Harvard's games this fall, with the exception of that with Yale, will be played in the Stadium. The schedule is as follows:
Nine games have been arranged for the Harvard football team for next fall, two changes in opponents having been made from the schedule of last season. The University of Maine succeeds Bates College in the opening game on Sept. 28, while Vanderbilt University of Tennessee will play in the Stadium on Nov. 9 replacing the Carlsleigh Indians following the game with Princeton. Vanderbelt has been seeking a date with Harvard for a couple of years and would have had a place on the Crimson schedule last fall, but for an unfortunate mixup in which Carlisle was concerned. All the other teams are the same that Harvard met last season.
Sept. 28—University of Maine at Cambridge
Oct. 5—Holy Cross, at Cambridge
Oct. 12—Williams, at Cambridge.
Oct. 19—Amherst, at Cambridge.
Oct. 26—Brown, at Cambridge.
Nov. 2—Princeton, at Cambridge
Nov. 8—Vanderbilt University,

Nov. 16—Dartmouth, at Cam bridge.
FRESHMEN SHOULD WIN HANDICAP MEET
Nov. 23—Yale, at New Haven
Records May Be Broken In the Inter-Class Games Monday Night
Kennedy Plumbing Co., 937 Mass St. Phones 658—Adv.
THE ADMISSION WILL BE FREE
Record Breakers Are to be Awarded Silver Cups And All Winners Will Receive Medals.
Unless the dope has a terrible up set the freshmen will win the handicap met to be held in the gymnasium Monday night. The old Varsity point winners are scattered through the other classes and will divide several points among them that will cudown the scoring power. The freshies on the other hand will have a complete machine working to gether.
The entries made thus far by the first year men look as strong as any that have been filed with Manager Hamilton. Hurst will be a strong performer in the pole vault. He is already holder of the inter-scolastic record with a vault over elever feet. Van Dola in the mile is also expected to pick up points for the freshman, Hamill-Alsia is the northern scholastic record over the hurdles and will without doubt win easily.
Beside these men the fresher will introduce Butler and Coleman weight, and Jackson, Hilton, and Martin in the dashes. All these mer look like point winners.
Part of the events will be handcapped and others will be from the scratch. In the former class are the distances and the quarter. All the field events will be handicap affairs The dashes and the hurdles will be run from the scratch.
Medals will be given to the winners in all events and any recordbreaker who appears will be awarded a loving cup. The members of the winning class relay teams will receive gold medals.
It is expected that a couple University records will be shattered in the meet. Captain French has been jumping better than ever before this season and it may be that he will raise his own mark over the high bar. Murran has on several occasions come within five seconds of the University record in the two milk and it is thought that if he is pressed a little in his event he will win his letter Monday night.
Admission to the meet will be free.
MEMORIALS FOR JIM HOGAN
Yale Will Honor Her Former Foot-
ball Captain
Two memorials have been established in honor of James Hogan, the Yale football captain of seven years ago, who died suddenly in New York last year.
One is a granite shaft sixteen feet tall and four feet square. The other is a $5,000 scholarship raised by members of the college fraternity to which he belonged. It will be awarded annually, "to an undergraduate who represents the type of aggressive manhood which Hogan exemplified."

THE MOST ALERT PLAYER
Announcement is made by Harvard Crimson of the offer of a large silver cup by Charles Hamm, Jr., "11, to be awarded to that member of the 1912 baseball team who shows the most alertness throughout the season in taking advantage of all opportunities offered by Harvard's opponents while in the field. The cup is to be presented to the man who has the highest total number of points reckoned on the following basis, each achievement to count one point;
Cup to Harvard Diamond Star Who Takes Greatest Advantage of Opponents Mistakes
(1) Safe arrivals at first base (this includes bases on balls, hits and all other times the initial sack is reached).
(2) Sacrifice hits.
(4) Runs scored.
The cup is not necessarily to be awarded to the best hitter, or the best fielder, or the fastest runner but rather to the man who plays the hitting and running game combined to the best advantage of the team. Should any question arise regarding the award of the cup it is to be settled by a member of the advisory committee, the coach, and the donor.
Barrett Wendell, Jr., '02, in recognition of whose services to Harvard baseball the cup was named, played on four University baseball teams, each of which won the Yale series, and was captain in his senior year. He is at present on the graduate advisory committee.
Dr. Sexton, the coach, has approved of the method of giving the cup. It is now planned to give a trophy each year on the same scheme. Mr. Hann, the donor of this year's cup, played first base on the baseball team last spring and was captain of his freshman team in 1908.

FINAL EFFORT FOR CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES

Hamilton Makes a Last Try For Kansas-Nebraska
There is still a chance that the Kansas-Nebraska basketball-ball series for Missouri Valley Championship may be played.
Series.
IOLA DOWNED LAWRENCE
BY ONE POINT
KANSAS TITLE
Manager Hamilton has wired Mr. Eager, the Nebraska Graduate Manager of Athletes, that he was willing to make any reasonable arrangement. He also stated that it did not influence this by dealing with Coach Steiman.
Hamilton's previous offers to Nebraska included a guarantee of all expenses if the games were played either at Manhattan or at Kansas City. The Cornhuskers demanded that the game be played at Omaha but refused absolutely to guarantee the expenses of the Kansas squad.
A telegram was received by the Kansan management yesterday that Nebraska could not play next week as there was no school at the Cornhusker institution at that time. This hardly agrees with excuse formerly offered, that the Nebraska team could not leave their work.
It seems that Mr. Stechem is intent on dodging the series till it will be late to play. For this reason he will use the final appeal to Manager Eager.

MEN'S SPRING CLOTHES
Different-Better-Un-ordinary-Correct
There are no words or pictures capable of depicting the splendid character of our new Spring Suits, Raincoats and Overcoats. See them,yourself,and you will realize how impossible it is to prepare an advertisement forceful enough to enable the public to appreciate the decided difference between these specially selected advanced styles and the usual ready-to-wear clothing.
One of the most impressive features of our big showing (the largest and best stock ever shown in Lawrence) is the remarkable display of all-handtailored Suits featured at $20 and $25. These values are actually revolutionary in that they offer, at popular prices, a much greater variety of selections and a finer class of clothing than you are in the habit of buying at considerably higher prices.

Y.W.C.A.FEASTS AND FROLICS IN FRASER
Membership Banquet for 135 in the Cafeteria Was a Success
PRES. KING OF OBERLIN SPOKE
He Defines Secret of Eternal Youth
—Home Economics Department
Prepared the Good Things
"The secret of immortal youth is quickness of response," said Dr. H.C. King, principal speaker at the Y.W. C. A. membership banquet in Fraser hall Saturday evening. "We must cultivate growth through openmindedness and alertness to learn from everyone with whom we come in contact."
Over 135 guests were present at the banquet held in the Cafeteria. The walls were hidden by screens and the tables were decorated with smilax and red candles in Colonial candlesticks. Among the guests were several Association Alumnus who were attending the high school teachers' conference.
Mrs. L. E. Sisson, as toast-mistress, introduced each speaker with a clever story. Miss Nadia Thomas general secretary, spoke of "Th Association as a Place of Service."
Miss Marie Sealy, who has charge of a gymnasium class at Haskell, told of a "Bit of Extension Work." Miss Ruth Van Doren gave a toast to "The Sustaining Members," the faculty ladies and the ladies of Lawrence who lend their support to the work.
Mrs. Frank Scong's toast, "Making the Wheels Go Round," was a discussion of the financial difficulties of the organization, and the need of more "financial oil" to keep the machinery going. Miss Luce March president of the Association, told how the students were helped face not only the problems of the student world, but also those of life.
The banquet was a success and a credit to Miss McKitrick and the girls of the Home Economics Decredit to Miss McKitrick and the high school girls who did the serving.

PRESIDENT KING OF
OBERLIN AT VESPERS
"We Will Live in the Hereafter Witt Ourselves," He Said, "Let Us Be In Good Company."
In speaking of man's power of enlargement, Mr. King said: "Animals are limited in their development to a certain stage while there is no limit to the power of enlargement and growth of man and for each to decide what that shall be."
At the regular Vesper Services Sunday afternoon, President Henry King of Oberlin College spoke or "Facing the Facts of Life."
"No one knows everything regarding death, but I am willing to face all the facts we have and would like to know all about it. We do know that we all have to account for ourselves and our future life depends on what we are here. Nobody knows all about life, but we know that we will have to spend it with ourselves and we should be careful that we may be in good company."

'Twenty many a year ago--
I traveled a road to Donaghmore
With a girl I used to know,
And she had a ribbon in her hair
As green as the emerald sod,
And we tramped that way as gay a pa
A BIT of tune to me ear is brought
By a passing vagrant bronze.
A bar from a tone me ears once knew
In a land across the seas.
And we tramped that way as gay a pair
As ever the dear soil trod.
It's the dear old "Wearing of the Green"
It also have me fun!

Friars Will Perpetrate Their Annual Scandal Sheet on April 1.
The annual number of "The Jeser," the scandal sheet published yearly by the members of the Friars, will make its appearance on the campus probably on April 1. The members of the society have been writing the stories for two weeks, and the advance copy promises that the paper this year will be one of the best scandal-mongers yet.
FOUR STUDENTS AID MURDERER TO ESCAPE?
The first number of "The Jester" appeared last year on April 1, shortly after the organization of the Friars society. An eight page edition printed on tri-colored paper contained all the private and public scandal of the "hill," a write-up of the engineers' parade, and story of the capture of the Kansan "cub."
The papers will go on sale at the old check stand in Fraser and in the engineering building.

Row Supposed Nebraska
Convict Across Kaw
Last Night
ENGINEERING PROFS OFFICIATE AT MEET
MARKETING
One of the three convicts who escaped from the Nebraska prison at Lincoln last Thursday by exploding nitroglycerine and killing three men, was rowed across the Kaw river late yesterday afternoon by four University students, is identified as the students Edwin Merservey, Frank Bolin, William Ainsworth, and Caleb Bowron, had rowed up the river about a mile above the boat landing.
They noticed a man lurking in the willow growth along the west bank, and pulled near to see what he war doing. At first he started to make for the Santa Fe tracks but when the boys came closer he stepped to the water's edge and asked them to row him across the river.
He said that he had been in a dice game with some negroes in Lawrence and had cut one of the negroes with a knife after an argument over some loaded dice. The man seemed anxious to get on the Union Pacific side, and the boys started across with him.
The boys notified the police when they landed and Marshal Carter telephoned a report of the affair t-Perry, the next stop on the Union Pacific and to Topeka. There was no trouble of any kind, but the officer had been cut, as the man described. No trace of the mar hac has been obtained at noon today.
H. A. Rice Is Referee and Jake Jones Is Head
When they reached the middle of the river, Meseryver started to pull for the boat landing where a group of students were watching the maneuvers. The man reached in his right overcoat pocket and drew forth a revolver and told Meseryver to row straight across to the flight of steps on the north bank.

Prof. and Mrs. Emerson Keep Patrick's Eve With Pill-Mixers and They Were all Irish
Professor and Mrs. Emerson entertained the students and faculty of the School of Pharmacy at their home on University Heights St. Patrick's eve.
The evening was spent in good old Irish rames, each of which was explained in little green covered booklets which were given to the guests. The only sad feature of the evening was the potato race. It started of with a rush but could not be finished as the faculty members who entered soon got out of breath and insisted on "cribbing."
Notwithstanding this tendency of the part of the faculty, all those connected with the School of Pharmacy are wishing that there were more Irish saints whose day might be celebrated at Professor Emerson's home.

Better Methods of Teaching High School Subjects Discussed— Colored Teachers' Quartette Sang
The Extension department of the University entertained the visiting members of the conference of high schools and academies with a three course luncheon in the Robinson gymnasium Saturday noon. About four hundred teachers enjoyed the luncheon and the program which followed. A reception was held in the west side of the gym by Chancellor Strong and the professors of the university previous to the luncheon.
Chancellor Frank Strong acted as toast master for the occasion, and began by introducing the University Glee club which gave several selections.
Prof. F. W. Blackman, Dean of the Graduate School, talked on the advantages of Economics as a high school subject. He recommended that future politicians should have at least an elementary course in economics, and that they become versed in the social "If we cannot educate the boys in social terms," said Professor Blackman "I have no faith in Democracy."
Coach W.O. Hamilton, followed with a talk on the place of athletics in the high school. "There is little question as to whether there should be athletics in the high schools," he said. "The surplus energy of the boys must be arranged, or it will be directed into ways that are not good."
Prof. L, D. Whittlemeen, state superintendent of schools in Topeka spoke on Normal subjects. He stated that 1000 graduates of high schools are teaching in the rural schools of the state, but that one-half of the rural teachers have never had a high school education.
"Psychology for High School Students" was the subject of the talk by Prof. D. C. Rodgers, assistant professor of Philosophy of the University, He stated that the simplification of Psychology is believed to be impossible, but that eventually it will be done.
The Colored Symphony Quartette from the Summer high school, Kansas City, Kansas, gave several songs that made a hit with the audience and they were forced to respond to a number of encores.
Dr. Edna D. Day followed with a talk on the culture or women. "Man is lazy," said Doctor Day. "Women use the most primitive methods in their work, while man finds easy ways to it." "Women's clubs spend too much studying art and literature," continued Dr. Day. "when they ought to be discussioning ways to do their work, and care for the children."
Prof. R. R. Price concluded the programme with a discussion of the educational status of high school debating. "Debating," stated Professor Price, teaches men to think. Many propositions have failed because men have been unable to convince anyone of their value." He also stated that there are many students in the high school and that forty per cent of the students' extra time should be given over to debating because it is the best literary training.
"The Tar Heel," the official paper of the Athletic Association at the University of North Carolina, is the latest paper to arrive at the Kansas exchange table.
IF SUSIE IS NOT HEEDFUL
SHE MAY BE FLUNKED
"Susie," one of the pups sent to Professor Dockeray from Kansas City, attended class for the first time Friday morning and proved that monkeys are not the only mimics among the animals. Notwithstanding the short time the little setter has been connected with University life, she shows that she has been watchful, and that she is able to assimilate college ways with the greatest ease.
It is true that when shut up in a box with a plate of meat just outside a wire door and in plain view, the young representative of dogdom did not pull on the loop which would have allowed the door to fall, and placed the meat within reach—no, she did not pull the loop, she did something that many representatives of the P. S. B. have done since their freshman year.
She slept through all the last half of the class period.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
Learning is to the studious, and the
studied is to the virtuous;
to the bold, and heaven to the wirtuous.
A WORKING TEAM
The first public exhibition of the ability of the Kansas track team will be held in the gymnasium tonight and the students will be given an insight into the prospects for the coming series of meets.
Jayhawker hopes were somewhat blasted at the first of the training season, by the announcement that three of the team's surest point winners would withdraw from all competition. Since that announcement however, the coach slowly but surely has been forming a team, selecting rough material of promise and developing it into point winning stuff building up a team of men who know that work is their only aid and who will profit therein.
Kansas track athletes this year are hard workers. They have to be It is their fighting blood that place men on the track to give all they have toward a winning team. A spirit of co-operation is imbued in a team like that—every one is working hard and they will win together.
Kansas will not have many stars on its squad this year. The best men can win their events only by slight margins, but that is the point That margin is just as valuable to the team as one infinitely greater The firsts thus scored add just as much to the total tally, and for this reason the athlete termed mediocrit should not lose heart. It is the team that counts and it is the team he working with that will win, not an few men to whom individual glory come for work exceptionally done.
WOMEN'S ATHLETICS
It is certainly a wholesome spirit with which the leaders and members of the organization of the women's athletic association have started their work, and their final purpose is certainly commendatory. The women have created an athletic spirit among their number in a short time and they are following the right theory in the practice of their athletics.
It is generally admitted that the fundamental weakness of the men's athletic institutions in America is the fact that comparatively few indulge in the various sports. The hoi polloi is underdeveloped it has been claimed.
This may not be said of the women athletes. Those who belong to the women's association are active members and as such are playing or the various teams. They do not care to be grandstand baseball fans or gallery basket-ball players. They find more fun in taking part in the games themselves.
SAFE.
The Daily Kansan maintains the sunflower reputation for fearlessness and intrepid courage. In spite of strenuous Teddy's oft repeated denunciation of nature faking it regularly brings forth stories concerning the departmental stamp-licking dog who is always on the case; these are sketches relating the intelligence of sand flies and the bollweevil. Thus far they have escaped the big
tick-doubtless due to its political activity—but we in a spirit of brotherly warning inspired by a realizations of the effect upon the nation's welfare say—beware. Because Teddy might see fit to denounce the Kansan result, the subsequent ending of her death from this viewpoint we feel sure the Kansan will refrain.—The North Dakota Student.
Hasn't the Student noticed that since T. R. told his tales of animal hunting in Africa, he hasn't said a word about nature faking?
PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
As to the distinction in professionalism. There is one kind which is bound to be recognized by all colleges sooner or later, and another kind that will be squelched when the college authorities are honest with themselves.
The first sort of professionalism is that in which an athlete, either through enthusiasm for sport or a desire to earn honest money, or both, breaks his amateur standing by using his athletic talents to engage in the business of baseball, which is as much a business as selling eggs over the counter for pay. He deserves to be treated with respect, and when he returns to school in the fall he should be considered to have as clear a record as any pampered scion of a plutocrat who has spent the summer at the seashore.
The other kind of professionalism is that which worms its way into competition with honda fide amateurs, and these amateurs accepts pleasant gratitudes for its services.
The one is honest and above board, the other a counterfeit.
The aggregation of college authorities that holds up its hands in holy horror at the idea of a young man playing baseball for money, and winks at the system that permits gratuities in the way of soft jobs, free room rent, permission for absence from classes had better commune with itself and ply the beams from its eyes. When it can see clearly and think clearly the status of a bona fide student who plays baseball in summer for pay and goes to school in winter with the real intention of getting an education will not cause it so much wormment—Sporting News of St. Louis
FALSE LOYALTY.
It is well enough to be loyal to the university's athletic teams, to the class, to the fraternity, to the social professional club, and to everything else. Loyalty is the big thing in life. Remember, all the time, however, that you are here for your own personal and individual betterment, and that you must needs be loyal to yourself.
If you are to develop yourself to the highest point of efficiency, to how many outsides affair can you attach a false string of loyalty? The university really asks that you be loyal to yourself and fit yourself rightly, for that is the big reason. When you have been valued by the university, self and have gone out into the world as a strong, well-rounded individual, the university can point to you with pride and claim you as its product before the world. Indiana Dale Student
WORK WORTH DOING
It is right and necessary that all men should have work to do which shall be worth doing, and of itself pleasant to do; and which should be done under such conditions as would make it neither over-weariness nor over-anxious. Turn that claim about as I may, think of it as long as I can, I can not find that it is an exorbitant claim, yet again I say if society would be changed the world would be changed; discontent and strife and dishonesty would be ended. To feel that we were doing work useful to others and pleasant to ourselves, and that such work and its due reward could not fail us! What serious harm could happen to us then?—WILLIAM MORRIS.
Out of 16,216 names recorded in "Who's Who in America" 56 per cent are college graduates, 15 per cent academy and normal school men, 48 per cent high school graduates and only one-fifth of one per cent self-taught.

For things to make on that's war
As if that soul were fled.
And hearts that once beat high for praise

Its tale of ruin tells.

Some heart-breaking break To show that still she lives.

Private return postcards are being sent out over the state by someone purporting to be the University Extensive society. This society offers instruction by mail in law and the statement is so worded as to lead one to believe that the society is connected with the University. In speaking of the system used, the circular says, instruction is by text, lecture, and case books and upon satisfactory completion of the course the degree of LL.B. is conferred by the university.—Minnesota Weekly.
RECALL 'EM!
The Illinois State Supreme Court has rendered a decision which declares unconstitutional an act of the last legislature which voted an item of $60,000 for the medical school of the university. As many of the other acts of the legislature were passed in the same time, there is considerable confusion in the mind of people as to what the outcome may be. I thought that a special session of the legislature may be called to straighten out affairs.
DON'TS FOR CO-EDS
For the guidance of its students, the organization in Wellesley College, corresponding to the Woman's Student Government Association of the University, has compiled a list of up-to-the-minute don'ts. Here are some of them:
Don't first with the handsome fellow down village, his wife will not like it.
Don't chew candy or anything else while on the village streets. If you must chew, try the rag.
Don't be a freak. The squirrels have enough nuts to attend to.
Don't kiss each other on the public blah! It's awful to see a women doing a man's business.
Don't study too hard, folks may think you are preparing to earn your own living.
PROVERBS OF ST.PATRICK
Good men ought not to be volatile
taken a lie for a lie is a great
crime.
Judges who do not judge rightly the judgments of the church are not judging rightly.
Officers of the church ought not to take gifts, because "gifts blind the eyes of the wise and change the words of the just."
Judges of the church ought not to have the fear of man, but the fear of God, because the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
Those in authority in the church ought not to have the wisdom of this world, for "the wisdom of this world" means "the wisdom of God," but to have the wisdom of God.
It is better for us to admixture the negligent, that crimes may not have been done. Solomon says, "it is better to reprove than to be angry."

Nobody ever stops to look at a clay bank until some artist puts it into a picture with a gilt frame and a tag that says $750. Lawrence grew up beside a clay bank, but nobody ever noticed it except the boys who had to go around it on their way to the pasture after the cows. Finally somebody began to bake old-fashioned soft brick out of this clay. Somebody else improved the process. Today Lawrence is paved with its own vitrified brick, and many other cities in Kansas and elsewhere are paved with it. An enormous plant runs night and day to supply the demand.
And there are other opportunities for profitably industry in Lawrence waiting for the man with the insight and ability to develop them.

OLATHE DOTES ON UNIVERSITY
Principal Steeper Says His High School is On The Boom
"Four of the ten members of the faculty of the Olathe high school are graduates of the University of Kansas," said Principal H. T. Steeper, "09, today, and of course we are for the University, first, last, and all the time."
Olathe will have twenty-four graduates this year, and several of these are already planning to enter the University next fall.
Professor Steeper was very enthusiastic over the good conditions of the school, and said that courses in domestic science, woodworking, normal and business training have been added to the curriculum in the last few years. These added courses have necessitated an increase in the faculty of six new members, and Olathe is now ranked as one of the best high schools in the state.
The last recital of the winter course will be given March 26 in Fraser Hall. Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, a noted contralto, will sing. She has sung here several times in former years and has been extremely popular.

The Goder-Heimman Co., of Chicago, whose exhibit of educational supplies were secured for the benefit of the visiting high school teachers, by the Extension Division, showed among its recent discoveries most recent discoveries known to science.
The Spalteholez process does not involve any chemical changes so makes no change in form or nature of the specimen, and they will hold their transparency and color for any length of time.
Extension Division Exhibits a Process
That Makes Tissues Transparent
The transparent preparation of organic bodies, an oil treatment discovered by Professor Werner Spalteholz of the University of Leipzig, renders the organic tissues of anatomical and biological specimens transparent no matter from what angle they are viewed. One of the great advantages of these specimens is that they can be projected directly on a screen with any projecting lantern, or used under a microscope.

Since many of the high school visitors will probably enter the university next fall, it was thought that they should be made acquainted with as many of the customs of the hill as
possible during their short stay here.
To assist in this scheme the Sophomore girls held another cake sale Saturday morning and initiated the visitors into the mysteries of university fudge.

The original site of the school consisted of two hundred and eighty acres, which has been increased to over one thousand. Three buildings were constructed at the start and forty-two more have been built, making a total of forty-five at the present time the buildings are heated with steam and lighted by electricity. The buildings include, three dormitories, chapel, recitation hall, domestic science and art building, hospital, shop buildings, warehouse, cafe, power and heating plant, and cottages for the superintendent and instructors.
The enrollment has gradually increased from fourteen at the beginning to seven hundred and fourteen at the present time. Of this number four hundred and twenty are boys and two hundred and ninety-four are girls, representing no less than fifty different tribes. The instructors and teachers number eighty-eight, a part of whom are former graduates of the school.

HAMILTON'S SIDE
SHOW SUCCESSFUL
Only Disappointment Was Failure of Athletic Profs. to Appear.
FRENCH JUMPED SIX FEET
All-Star Basket Ball Team Defeate Freshmen in The Afternoon's Real Feature Exhibition.
Manager Hamilton's "Grand Free Exhibition" staged Saturday afternoon was a wonderful success. In fact the show lived up to advance track notices.
There was a considerable disappointment in the failure of the Profs. basket team team to show up but otherwise the show was an unqualified success.
The reason for the pedagogues failure to appear has not been announced but it is suspected that the University council team was "somewhat perturbed" by the veiled allusions that were so recklessly cast about by the College players and decided that discretion was the better part of valor.
The most exciting event of the afternoon was the basket-ball game between the All-Stars and the freshmen.
It has also been said that their reason for not appearing was a desire to save basket-ball for the University. They feared that if the Regents heard of the game they might "take action," brand the players as Gladiators and do numerology, that Regents would do it. It is also said that several of the Profs were professionals, having at some time received money for their performances.
OLD HEADS DEFEAT 1915
IN TWO EXTRA PERIODS
Martindell, Van der Vries, Stuckey,
and Allen, old Kansas players, and Lisson,
the Baker captain this year, played
with the All-Stars, and right well they
perform, defeating the first year
men by a 46 to 39 score.
An additional five-minute period was played and the result at the end of this short session was: freshmen 36, All-Stars 36.
FRENCH GAVE CLEVER
HIGH JUMP EXHIBITION
Sproul and Weaver were the stars
for the freshmen. The All-Stars were
all at the top.
In the early part of the battle the freshmen had all the better of the argument, but as the stiffness wore out of the joints of the veterans they began to come to their own, and when the final whistle sounded, the score was 30 all.
This made another five-minute play necessary. In this last brief battle, Van der Vries made three goals from the field and placed the All-Stars in the win column.
Captain French of the University track team gave a clever exhibition of high jumping. Beginning at five feet, and raising the bar two inches after each jump the Kansas star finally cleared six feet. Not a single time did he take more than one jump to go the distance.
The bar was then raised to six feet and one-half inch and French tried to beat his own record. He failed to do this in the required three trials but his failure in the last attempt was only by a hair's breadth.
WOODBURY AND HURST
WENT 11:3 IN POLE VAULT
Hurst and Woodbury put on a fine exhibition of indoor pole vaulting each one clearing the bar at 11 feet 3 inches.
Hurst is a freshman who is expected to shatter the University record before the year is over. Woodbury is the present record holder. Neither of the men attempted to go higher than eleven three as they wished to be in form for the meet to be held Monday evening.
COLLEGE GAVE VARSITY
A RUN FOR THE MONEY
In an exhibition game at the close of the freshman-All Star game the College held the varsity team to a 17 to 15 score. The game was featured by the aggressive tactics of the Collegians and listless playing on the part of the varsty players who were handicapped by the loss of Captain Stuckey who did not appear in the game. Crawford starred for the College tossers bringing the crowd to their feet by several long shots.
DATE FOR BIG HIGH
SCHOOL MEET SET
May 4, Day Decided for Inter-Scholastic Games
A TENNIS TOURNAMENT ALSO
The Big Event.
The Ninth Annual Inter-scholastic track and field games will be held on McCook field at the University on Saturday, May 4th. The meet is open to all high schools in the state and district. Expected from thirty or more schools.
A handsome silver loving cup will be awarded to the winning school in each class. A silver loving will be given in each class to the winners of the four lap relay and to the individuals scoring the highest number of points. A gold medal with a fine leather watch fob will be given this year to each winner of a first place, a silver medal to each winner of a second place and bronze medals to the winners of third and fourth places. The meet this year promises to be a greater success than any previously given by the University. The present holders of the state championship in their respective classes
The present holders of the state championship in their respective classes are
Class A. Lawrence High Sschool.
ClassAA. Wabaunsee county High school.
Class B. Dickinson county High School.
Class C. Southern Kansas Acadamy of Eureka.
The K.U. Inter-scholastic meet is the greatest annual high school event in the state, not even excepting the basketball tournament. Last year more than four hundred and fifty high school students attended the guest of the University at that time.
At the same time that the meet is held it is the custom to hold the state tennis tournament. To the winners both of the single and of the doubles, in this meeting, silver loving ups are given. Arrangements are being made this year for the biggest time ever. Not only will there be the track meet to entertain visitors but in all probability a base ball game between K. U. and their old enimies the Tigers will be played on that date. In addition to this the teams that arrive the day before the meet will be royally entertained by the University Students. Already plans are on foot to reproduce in every detail the "stunts" that were given by the various organizations at the big Football Smoker last fall. In addition to this the prize performers of the 'Circus Maximus' which is to be held at the University, soon will be asked to show their acts before the visitors.
METHODISTS IN THE LEAD
Head Sunday School League by Safe Marin.
The Methodists and Baptists of the University Sunday School basketball ball league played a hotly contested game in the gymnasium Thursday evening. The Methodists were victors with a score of 29 to 24.
The present standing of the teams in the league is as follows. Four games against the New York Knicks.

GIRLS PLAY BETTER IN BASKET-BALL THAN BOYS
"Girls are a better basket-ball investment than boys, in our town," said Coach Yeoman of Hutchinson in regard to the receipts of the athletic association of Hutchinson high school. Just why this is so Mr. Yeoman explains by saying that people will turn out better every time to see the girls play. So when it was up for question as to which of the teams should come the girls were favored.
Clarence Rice of last year's senior class, now superintendent of the Bonner Springs High School, brought down two teams for the basket ball tournament. Rice was a member of the 1910 varsity relay team but he says that he is getting too fat to do any more track work.
Too Fat To Run.

ONE HUNDRED MEN IN HANDICAP MEET
Records Will Be Broken in the Inter-Class Affair Tonight
The events will all be close as Coach Hamilton has worked out a system of handicaps which will be based on past performances of the entrants and will make the winner be in his best form to take the event
The first annual indoor interclass track meet to be held in Robinson gymnasium promises to be one of the largest and most interesting indoor track meets ever held at this University. Over one hundred track men have been working out in preparation for this meet for the last three weeks.
The feature event will probably be the high jump between Captain French and Hazen. Hazen has been given a handicap of several inches over his more experienced rival and Coach Hamilton is confidently expecting a record to be smashed in this event as Captain French is jumping in his best form.
The pole vault is another event whose record will be in danger as Leonard Hurst a this years freshman when showing great form in this event.
Lawrence high school will also add an inter class meet tonight, the events of which will be run off between the varsity events.
RENO GIRLS WON CHAMPIONSHIP CUP
Defeated Last Year's Champs In the Final Game 37 to 35
After holding the Girls Basket Ball Championship of Kansas for two years the Chanute team surrendered to the girls from Reno County. The surrender was not made without a desperate effort, but then only by the close score of 73 to 35.
The work of Miss Garfield at for-ward for Reno was the deciding feature of the battle, as she scored 22 points for her team. Miss Fison of Chanute did great work in shooting goals in his near close guarding of the Reno guards.
Both of the teams played eleve basket ball through the contest and thie decision was in doubt till the end o the game.

BALDWIN HIGH IS BASKET BALL CHAMP
Defeated Reno County in Hard Fought Game 36 to 34
Baldwin High School won the high school basket ball championship of Kansas in the final game of the greatest tournament ever staged in the State of Kansas. By defeating the Reno County High School aggregation 36 to 34 they nobly earned the title.
The Baldwin men were tiring rapidly and had the battle gone five minutes longer the result might have been different.
The Reno County team were not out classed, they were not very much out played for that matter. The fact of the case was that the loosers were at the bottom of the see-saw when the whistle blew.

WINFIELD IN SEMI-FIAL
The Winfield boys were unable to come back hard enough in their game with Baldwin in second half to overcome the lead acquired by Baldwin in the initial session. The final score was 48 to 33.

PHYSICS CLOCK HAS RIVAL IN WHISTLE
HIGHSCHOOL DAY
University Time Markers Are in the Grip of Spring Fever
STUDENTS AWAIT THE SINGAI
But Classes Still Are Dismissed in Old Haphazard Way—No Change
In Sight.
Have the "tooty-toots" gone o a strike?
Ever since the story came out that the "too-toot-wo" would be on the job for the dismissal of classes, the students have listened eagerly about five minutes before time for each class to take notes, to take notes, inharmonious though they are.
It was understood that the action of the University Council in regard to the whistle was to take effect at once, before the regime of marathon classes still continues.
An investigation committee has been trying to ascertain why the whistle does not blow, but their efforts have been to no avail.
Dean Templin refuses to speak on the subject, but hints that something very definite may be known in a few days.
Edward E. Brown, secretary, states that the only reason he knows for the inactivity of the whistle, is that he has heard it. Brown should blow, and hence it has not blown.
A bulletin from the Chancellor's office states that no definite time was set for the beginning of the great occasion, and that several minor details have yet to be settled before the whistle can toot.
Registerar Geo. O. Foster says that he believes that the official tooter has gone on a strike, because of his increased duties. He said that it would require an extra man to do the work, and that he does not have time to blow the whistle three seconds once every hour.
But at any rate it still remains that the tooter does not toot, and it is feared that it will be forced to take a position along with the Physics Clock, unless it arouses itself from its present comatose condition.
EVER EAT GROUND ALMONDS?
Dean Sayre Says They Are Delicious And Are Easy to Grow.
"Ground almonds are very choice nuts of fine flavor, resembling the cocoa nut or almond, and those who have tested them prefer them to the genuine almond. Meat is snow white with a brown thin skin. Easy to grow and yields 200 to 300 nuts in a single hill. To be planted in the spring about the same time as corn or potatoes and by fall the nuts are ready to harvest."
The following is a description of the "ground nuts" according to the catalog-which advertises them:
Speaking of them, Dean Sayre said. "The almond is really a fruit which is closely related to the peach. These specimens which we have received resemble the almond somewhat in taste, but they must undoubtedly be a form of root otuber. They are a small plant and drug through their constituents."
Dean L. E. Sayre, of the School of Pharmacy, received some curious samples yesterday of what are called ground almonds.

CHEMISTS MAKE MERRY
K. C. Section of American Chemical Society Met Here Saturday
The Kansas City section of the American Chemical Society held a meeting Saturday afternoon in the Chemistry building.
Addresses were given by Dr. J.H Schlundt, acting head of the department of Chemistry at the University of Missouri, and Prof. H. L. Miller, of the Kansas City , Kansas high school.
Dr. Schlundt spoke on "The Teaching of Chemistry" which was a personal narrative, and later in the session, gave an illustrated lecture on the "Investigation of the Radio-active properties of the Yellow Bottom Oil" and "The subject of Prof. Miller's address was Teach 'Instructions, not Facts'."
Following the program, a dinner was given at the Eldridge house for the guests.
"SELF RESPECT IS NOT CONCEIT""--DR. KING
Reverence for Personalities'
Was the Theme at
Bible Institute.
President Henry King delivered the first of the series of lectures which he will give this week in the Bible Institute yesterday in Fraser hall. He took as his subject "Reverence for Personalities."
Speaking at some length of the present trend of modern ideas toward specialization, Dr. King stated that there ought to be just as earnest endeavor by the individual to have a personality all his own as there is to invent something that is different from anything that has gone before.
Prof. W. H. Johnson, high school visitor, will leave tonight for Chicago to attend the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary schools, which meets at the Auditorium Hotel, March 20-23.
"Combined with the respect that every person has for God and all things that are sacred," he said, "there should be just as much respect for self. Self respect is not conceit. It is the true appreciation of the self.
Emphasizing the old idea that every one must stand on his own merits, that is it after all the man himself makes the success or failure, Dr. King concluded his address with an appeal to the young people to cultivate a personal pride, to attempt to discover themselves, and above all to try to imitate the best that there is in others.
Fifty-five high schools and academies in Kansas will make application for accreditation. There is also one Kansas college making application for affiliated relations with this association.
Professor Johnson is a member of the board of high school inspectors.

WHO THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGER IN BLACK?
Promised Unsuspecting Student Information of Vital Importance
SOPHOMORE LURED OFF CAMPUS
But Just as Blow Is About to Fall,
to Come.
He Flees as From The Wrath
"Come to the Eldridge House at 7 o'clock tonight. I have something of vital interest to you. It is of such importance that I cannot even whisper it to you here."
Such was the mysterious message delivered to a well-known sophomore yesterday after chapel by a well-dressed dark-complexioned stranger. He took the student aside and into it in the room-to make the shroud sensation.
The student went.
He was taken to a well-furnished room and seated in a deep leather chair. The stranger pulled down the blinds, and offered the student a cigar from a heavily monogrammed Russia case. Then dragging the remaining chair in front of him, he leaned over, touching his guest on the arm, said in low, apprehensive tones;
"I have looked up your record at the University. I find it is A one. My professors give you the highest recommendations. There is one thing that you need to make you highly successful. You need to meet the outside world. I am prepared to give you opportunity not only to get this training but to make at least $350 a month on the argain.

pected The Citizens of Lawrence
to Furnish Rooms.
The present meeting of the Board of Regents is being held on the forty-seventh anniversary of the first meeting of the Board of Regents appointed for the University.
"The first meeting was held in the council chamber of the city of Lawrence March 20, 1865," said a historically inclined member of the faculty this morning, "and only seven of the fourteen members were present. They elected a Chancellor, Rev.R.W. Oliver, rector of the Episcopal church of Lawrence. They also elected a librarian from their own membership."
At this meeting the Board decided to open the University—at least a preparatory department—as soon as the Lawrence should furnish suitable rooms.
Then as now, the financial question was the prevailing one in the minds of the members of the Board. The first Board had difficulty in getting together $5,000 to start the institution that now represents an investment of $2,000,000 and requires half a million dollars a year to maintain it.
Y. M. C. A. COMMITTEE

RESTRICT GIRLS' ATHLETICS
Barnard College Forbide Participation in More Than One Sport
The Athletic Association of Barnard has just decided that any student who goes out for one of the major sports, which consist of hockey, basket-ball, and baseball, may be permitted to play on only one team during a season.
This is done to prevent the best athletes among the young women from getting the best places on more than one team, thus keeping their less fortunate college mates from taking a prominent part in athletics.

MRS. PARK, SUFFRAGIST,
PATS CUB ON THE BACK
University Needs a Suffrage Organization Among the Men, She Says
"What the University of Kansas needs is a suffrage organization among the men," said Mrs. Maud Woods Park, after her speech in chapel this morning. I have been told that a Mr. Baer, who I believe is connected with the Daily Kansan, is just the man to start this movement, as he is one of the few men who are members of the active working organization at the present time. The organization for both men and women is a fine thing in its way, but I think that more interest would be shown among the men if they had a separate organization."
When asked if she did not think it unfair to compare the spread of education among women in the past century to the present growing demand for the ballot, in view of the fact that the ballot carried with it no educational qualifications, Mrs. Park said that she did not regard as highly as she formerly did, the idea of a restricted ballot.
"When I first came out of college," said Mrs. Park, "I held academic tenets in regard to an educational qualification for voters, but I have now dismissed the idea, as democratic. Besides the very thing that the women are demanding is absolute equality, and we base our claims on the fact that our government is for all kinds of people alike.
"I believe that more interest will be shown by the women in national elections than they show now in city elections in Kansas. One who has worked with me hand can never tell how well she will like her new sewing machine."
PRESIDENT KING WILL
CONDUCT A ROUND TABLE
This meeting will take place of the regular Thursday evening meeting for the week. After the round table there will be an election of officers.
President King will conduct a round table nest Wednesday evening at the Y. M. C. A. meeting. He will answer, from his own experience, questions touching on the religious life of college men. All men are welcome to this meeting and anyone present will be free to ask questions.
SHE TALKED STRAIGHT INTO MEN'S HEARTS
Mrs. Maude Wood Park Told Some Things About Equal Suffrage
MEN WERE GOOD LISTENERS
Under Our Present System of Government by the People, Half of Them are Forgotten," She Said
"The movement for equal suffrage is the result of two modern ideas," said Mrs. Maud Wood Park, president of the Intercollegiate Equal Suffrage League, in chapel this morning. "First, 'government by the people'; and secondly, the new ideal of women which differs so widely from the old and antiquated notion."
Mrs. Park said that in our present system of government by the people, half of them are forgotten, and maintained that women should share the right to govern with the men as they now share educational, property, and industrial rights. She showed that legislative bodies pass laws relating to morals, child labor, pure food and like questions in which the women are interested as much as most men are interested in tariff or banking laws.
"If our nation, or any of the states, would adopt new constitutions this year I have no doubt but that our rights would be recognized; and it is only because we have to do what was done before ideals of liberty were established that the movement has not already accomplished more than it has."
The speaker traced the growth of equal suffrage in America, showing that where one state adopted the plan, that state's neighbors soon took up the same policy. "This is good evidence that the system is a success."
"Women should not view the matter in a personal light, saying that they oppose the movement because they have no personal desire to vote. We should rather consider the localities where the women do want to vote, and where they can undoubtedly accomplish much good by doing so. Decide the matter on its merits." Mrs. Park declared with emphasis.
In closing, the speaker made an appeal to the men present to vote for the Kansas amendment which will be adopted or rejected next November. "Consider the matter in the light of justice and fair play. Give to Kansas women the full rights of citizenship."
Club Chose Representatives
At a meeting of the Good Government Club which was held last week a communication was read from the Intercollegiate Civic League asking that the club send a representative to the meeting of the league which will be held in New York in April. It was decided to appoint Jerome Beatty and E. A. Slosson, both alumni of the club, as the delegates from the society.
The meeting was held at the Phi Delta Theta house.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. Lawrence
Wise men learn by others' harms, foils scarcely by their own.
TOOTY TOOT TOOts
Here's a job for an ambitious student of the law, the statute books and labor problems.
Is there a law in Kansas declaring that whistles, said whistles being the property of the state, shall blow only seven times per day? Such a law certainly exists, for the whistle on the saw-tooth back of Marvin hall refuses to be blown any more in one day. Moreover, it must be a state law for action by the University Council may not annul the first in favor of the later motion.
Almost a week ago, the University Council adopted a resolution making the whistle in the power house, ruler of the destinies of the students and faculty members. Classes were to go by totoy toot toots. A ten minute period was provided between classes and the close of all lectures was to be announced by the hoarse voice of the University siren.
But, the whistle refuses to perform its extra duties. Perhaps while the law of the case is being investigated, it would be well for some medic to inquire into the health of the official tooter. It is barely possible that a bad cold has permitted the discharge of only its old and regular duties.
Meantime, whoever settles the question, whether lawyer or medic will undoubtedly gain the good wishes of the entire student body when those 10 minute respites commence.
Pity the poor high school students for a while if the professors who came to the Conference at the University try to put into practice everything they heard here.
BASEBALL FOR EVERYONE
Much has been said in the past few years about the underdevelopment of the American student in the colleges. Educators have maintained that the non-competitor has not been given the attention that should be his, that all American young men do not play the game for the game and for themselves, but rather watch from the bleachers some one of their fellows, who excels, pit his prowess against that of the picked men from the neighboring school.
Much of this comment probably is true and is substantiated by facts and figures gathered by physical examinations conducted by doctors and physicians.
However, those at the head of the physical education departments of the universities are introducing athletic features that will tend to improve the physical well-being of the everyday student and interest him in some sport.
The general theory upon which all sports and games are established, is being used as a basis in this work "Let all the men handle the ball—or whatever the instrument may be that is used in the game." As long as every man can exercise his own
skill in a company of men who are on a level with himself, his interest will remain intense.
Here in Kansas, basket-ball teams have been organized in the past two years representing every school and class in the University, placing more than one hundred men on the floor.
At the University of Illinois, the athletic management has announced that twenty baseball teams will be organized this spring among the undergraduate students and that a championship series will be played. In this same way, other out-door sports are being organized and encouraged for all the men of the student body there.
However, for Kansas, the same drawback that was encountered at Illinois, has been the principle reason why the plan has not been worked out more completely to include baseball as well as the winter sport, basket-ball. Such an extensive athletic organization requires money for its maintenance. At the University of Illinois, it required several years for the management to save the necessary funds for working out their plan of "more democracy" in athletics for the student body.
Until the time comes, when our athletic association can afford to support twenty baseball teams, students here must be content to indulge in "town ball," "two-old-cat," "or choosin'-up-sides" out on the golf links when a bunch can be rather together.
"One-Ole-Cat" is a great game.
Baseball, in its present pomp, offers nothing to compare with the satisfying scores of 60 to 21 of the sand-lot game.
"ONE-OLD-CAT."
Some of the pleasures of this little brother of the national game will be introduced at Washington this season, when some twenty fraternity, dormitory and club teams are organized to compete in regular series.
The main feature of the kids' contest is that everyone from little Eddie, who sits in the first seat in the first row in the primary grade, to Butch Jones, who drives the grocery wagon, can play on equal terms. They all get a chance to bat. It is this idea that has been adopted into the university plan, and everyone, spectacled A. B, or lengthily miner, can get into the game, even if it is only to occupy a remote corner of the outfield.
No batting-average problem will hang over the heads of these 180 university players. Taking the ball on the second bounce won't be a serious offense, and the question of errors will lie lightly on their minds.
It'll be a great series. Out in the open air, and everybody will get a chance to bat.—University Washington Daily.

AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
A TORTOISE desired to change his place of residence, so he asked an Eagle to carry him to his new room. He asked the Eagle reward for her trouble. The Eagle agreed, and seizing the Tortoise by the shell with her talons, soared aloft. On their way they met a Crow, who said to the Eagle: "Tortoise is good eating." "The shell is too hard," said the Crow, as the Eagle could easily crack the shell," was the Crow's answer; and the Eagle, taking the hint, let fall the Tortoise on a sharp rock, and the two birds made a hearty meal off the Tortoise.

THE ENGLISH OF THE CIRCUS
TENT
"Moreover the rough-neck seldom lasts long at one job except in a coop capacity. He is sent to stack and
The ex-circus man peeled a banana.
"Say, babe, we have you college rah-rahs out of your underwear when it comes to slang." He spoke to a university student. "You fellows talk about 'rough-necks.' Where did you get the word? From the circuit talk about the 'rough-neck,' of the circus news. He drives stakes deep in the park. He cleans his pals is on and all the fancy people are busting their stays to see the free show he is in the residence part of the city sizing up back-doors and windows.
"Farmers go to the afternoon show; paint, powder and corsets go to the evening performance. The rough-neck visit Sail's room and joins himself to her rock-hoops and diamond rings, with a bracelet and an earring down town, which is to say, he throws a brick through a window in a jewelry store and steals a tray of diamonds.
"Next day all the janes, muffs molls, fruzies, beads and skirts, which are only other ways of saying 'women,' yap about the yegg, or in United States, talk about the burglar; and the rumble-promoters, rumble-sisters, the plain tattlers, have enough to keep them going for a month in stirring up mixes or rumbles, better known as scraps, by lying about what this and that dame is making him laugh; the routed man however, is miles away; and unless he has made a bloomer, or according to the dictionary guy, failed to land anything, is happy, whatever the snuff-eaters may say."
"The rough-neck, though, has his own troubles. Sometimes his key-oil, nitro-glycerine you would call it, gets him into a dust; and being armed like a battleship, he takes cinches, but no chances, and shoots. He gets called up before a bady. The mouth-pieces plead his case; he is tried by a full deck, that is, twelve jurymen, and two others, which are held with stripes, which means that he beats it to the pen for a year for each slit in the ends of his feet. The city dads scratch their heads and conclude the circus a bad proposition.
The circus man peeled another banana.

chains, or, to speak in Sunday school language, he is fired by being hit over the head with a club and left with his curtains until the circus pulls out of the city.
—R. W. EMERSON
"But mind you, kid, all circus men are not of the rough-neck type. Why, one of them died in the pen because he shot at a crook, missed, and took a banker in the gizzard. The banker's last words were, "Don't blame him; he was doing his duty for the sake of an honest circus." Prejudice against the circus professor convicted him."
The circus man felt in his pocket for another banana.
"Nix, diee-box with windows in it. What do you make of that? Well, I'll tell you. It is just one rough-neck's way of saying to another, 'Look out for the plain-clothes man wearing a derby hat and glasses.' I could talk all day and you wouldn't understand a word I said.
TROUBLE WITH PLAIN CLOTHES MAN
"The rough-neck's biggest job is taking care of the plain-clothes man. Here is Jim. Jim is suspected of being a stuffed civilian. There is John and Paul. Paul tumbles to Jim's game. He says to John, "Pipe the headlight." John takes a look under the lapels of Jim's coat for signs of a star. If Paul is not yet satisfied, he says, "Stall the globe," John stumps his toe, putting it down. He finds and finds whether or not he has a gun. John gets up and apologies. If he has felt a gun on Jim, he says, "Jie." They chase it.
"In another part of the town or circus grounds, they join a Keeser, or as George Washington would have it, they steal a suit case which they sell at a joint or dump; or maybe, they switch a phoney for a real diamond with a rock peddler in a down-twoen slum joint that has not been cracked. If the coast seems clear, they may touch a gig for a caser and put in the kick. To help out your English grinder at the University, I'll translate that into society: they may touch a sucker for a dollar and put it in their pocketets. If trouble stalls along, they may sheave him or give him the rod, which amounts to a dose of either the knife or the six-shooter. They call a policeman nix, corner-wait, fly-hob, floater, and on-the-plant. If a policeman or plain-clothes man is seen listening, one rough-neck warms the other by, 'Tin ear' or 'Clean out your mud valve.' Another banana went on the way of its fellows.
REPRESENTS HIGHEST TYPE.
"Circus in its highest development is spoken by the rough-neck spiker in front of the shows. A man with brushy whiskers comes up. He shows a roll of money when he makes a purchase and goes toward one of the tents. The spiker who has noticed the roll calls out to the man in front of the tent toward which whiskers is going "Crack Daddy Brush, bee ar strong." The other spiker translates the call, "Look out for the man with the brushy whiskers; he has a big bank card," and the spiker who is arriving meddyke, then the call is, "Bring me a whisk broom; I want to brush my hat." A short, stubby heard is a daubing brush. If the man has only side-boards, the next spiker hears, 'Hang up your face curtains when you go home tonight.'
"Whiskers no matter how trimmed gets trimmed. If he passes the next spieter the call is passed on also. Rough-necks follow him and get him into a flat-joint, that is, a crooked game. If everything else fails to separate him from his wad, the cry is, 'Cop the moll.' Mrs. Jents takes charge of him and relieves him if possible of his coin.
FOLLOW WHISKERS UP CLOSELY.
"The circus is a language mill. There is where you fellows get your slang."
"Were you a rough-neck?" the student ventured.
The circus man's shoulders came forward. His jaw dropped.
"You blasted, pale-faced hunk of mud, don't you dare to call me that."
Say, youngster, give me four bits.
I want to go to the Wabash to get some bananas."—H. J. McK, in University Missouri.

For the past three years there have been spent in Lawrence for improvements one million dollars a year. In 1909 the street railway system was included in this amount and in 1910 there was extensive railway construction but during the last year almost the whole amount represented improvements by private citizens and the municipality. One million dollars translated into buildings and pavement and sewers and homes means a growing city -- an ideal place for a home.

PROFESSOR, HOW 'BOUT WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE?
Question Put to Dean Blackmar Brings a Favorable Reply.
SAYS, "IT IS INEVITABLE"
and Kan
Equal Rights Can Not be Questioned But Importance of "Votes" is Greatly Overestimated.
Professor Blackmar, Dean of the Graduate School, has been receiving many queries from over the state as to whether women should or should not vote. Professor Blackmar views the question from a standpoint of social evolution and states his views as follows:
WOMAN SUFFRAGE INEVITABLE
In a democracy like our own it is inevitable that sooner or later women should vote under the same conditions as men. It is an essential outcome of social evolution. The only question involved is how long the matter should be delayed.
Nearly all of the educational institutions are now open to women. The educational privileges of women are so great as to give them the opportunity of having the same education as men if they so desire.
Industrial and economic privileges are so universal that women may choose any occupation open to men with perhaps the exception of military service and some dangerous occupations in mining and manufacturing.
HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS.
So far as equality of rights is concerned women have the same equal legal and political rights as men in regard to the protection of person and property and the ownership, inheritance and transmission of property. Thus women are recognized as citizens of the republic; many of them are independent owners of property, independent tax payers, and lead an independent economic life.
It follows from the above statements of fact that the final step of selecting representatives in political government is only the last stage in a process which must be admitted if our pretensions of democracy are consistent.
WHEN THE QUESTION COMES.
es
The right to vote is not questioned, and the question of expedition is involved only to a limited extent. The main question at issue is whether a great body of citizens of this republic now disfranchised desire the privilege of voting and are willing to assume its responsibilities. It is a misfortune that we are so tied up by constitutional rights and privileges that women cannot decide this for themselves. In as

much as out laws will not permit them to vote whether they shall assume this service and privilege it would be a good plan if they would establish voluntary voting precincts in the state of Kansas and allow the women of the state to vote on the question before it comes up to be settled legally by the men. If the majority of the women favor it it is almost absolutely sure to be favored by the constitutional majority of men.
WOULD CONDITIONS IMPROVE.
If all the women of the United States of voting age should exercise the right of suffrage it is doubtful whether there would be any immediate change for the better in our political and social conditions. This statement is based upon the results of ewere women have had these privileges in town and city government and in a few states of the Union. But there is no assurance that women suffrage would make things any worse, and in years to come the vote of woman might help to make a better government although this is conjectural. Probably things will be neither better or worse for a long time to come after women exercise the voting privilege, but as stated above, this is not the real issue, for it is a question of social evolution, democratic consistency, and the opportunity of citizens to be heard.
VOTES MAY AID WOMEN.
Undoubtedly the importance of the enfranchisement of women is entirely overestimated by its zealous advocates. In this it is not unlike other social reforms. It is highly probable that the serious organized attention of women devoted to other important social activities would be of greater service to humanity that the assumption of political responsibility. However, the latter may preface the way for the former. Precisely the best way is finally settle the question in the affirmative with the hope that it may aid women to accomplish what nature, God and social conditions have appointed them to do in other lines.

THE FRESHMEN WON THE HANDICAP MEET
Scored 35 Points to Seniors 26 in the Inter-Class Games
SURPRISE IN THE POLE VAULT
Cramer, a New Candidate For Track Honors Won The Event With
The meet was interesting throughout though there were no records broken. Good time was made in all the distance races in spite of the fact that the saucer track is eighteen laps to the mile.
The freshmen won the handicap meet held in the gymnasium last night scoring 35 points to their nearest competitor's twenty-six.
The surprise of the meet was the work of Cramer in the pole vault. Almost unknown to Kansas track followers the winner of this event vaulted eleven feet. He was not expected to reach any where near this distance and was given a 9 inch handicap over Hurst, who was expected to take the event.
The half mile was an exciting event. Fairchild at scratch overcame the leads given other competitors by the handicapper and won easily in 2:13.
In the two mile, Murray ran a plucky race, against Edwards who won the event, but was unable to overcome the three quarter lap held by the winner. Edwards handicap was not solely responsible for his victory as he won a clever, heady race.

DR. JOHNSON CALLS WILL PLAY SEVEN
OUT WOMEN SWIMMERS GAMES ON M'COOK
W. A.A. Will Organize Teams and Compete in Water
Sports
with the coming of the first warm days the Women's Athletic Association is branching into new fields, more appropriate and attractive for the time of year. The members are now organizing themselves into first and second swimming teams.
The young women of the University of Kansas have been slow in taking up this form of sport, but this has been due partly to the lack of interest of the instructors and partly to the limited number of times during the week when the pool is open to the members of the fairer gex. However under the direction of Dr. Margaret Johnson, head of the Women's Athletic Department, regular swimming classes are to be opened and all the women of the University who have any ambitions or ability in this line of sport are urged to come out.
The classes will be held every Monday and Thursday at 4:30. Yesterday afternoon a large crowd was out and all showed great interest in the formation of the teams. A number of them showed exceptional ability for swimming and Dr. Johnson believes that more expert girl swimmers in the University may be discovered if they will only come out.
It is planned at the present time to hold several matches of water pole and water games later in the season. If enough interest and ability is shown an exhibition will be given during the aquatic fete which is an annual event during commencement week.

"Big Eight" Schools Displeased With Summer Ball Compromise

The results obtained at the special meeting of the Western Conference which was held recently at Chicago will probably not be lasting and the trouble which has upset the association all fall and winter is only stayed for the time being, inasmuch as the decisions arrived at were all in the nature of a compromise. In so far as clearing up the summer baseball evil is concerned, the action taken was nihil.

Compromise
CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS HELP WANTED
One of the most important pieces of legislation, however, was that making possible the passage of matter pending before the conference by a majority rather than a two-thirds vote. Minnesota, however, was unable to force the adoption of a summer baseball rule making scholarship the only basis of eligibility. The members of the Conference stood evenly divided upon the question and Minnesota was unable to force the issue. The compromise effected provides for the following rules:
Lost and Found.
WANTED -A steward at 1328 Ohio
Bell phone 2236 2t
LOST—A hat near gym Saturday night. Return to Kansan office.
A rule allowing students to play ball on summer town or semi-professional teams without compensation for services, students not allowed to play on any team under the national agreement or in outlaw leagues.
For Rent.
Modern furnished room for two students, 1011 Tennessee.
Gave power to faculties to reinstate athletes who have lost their eligibility through minor infractions in occurrence rules before entering college.
Repealed resolution prohibiting intersectional contests
Adopted employment of persons receiving pay from professional baseball clubs for services in any capacity.
}
Universities will be allowed three weeks to investigate eligibility of their players after protests are lodged.
Like all compromises it satisfies no one—the advocates of the amateur rule of eligibility can hardly consider it satisfactory since it is a departure from a time honored fetich which claims the allegiance of so many; the advocates of a purely scholarship basis find little in it to comment since it does not clear up the situation as a purely scholarship rule would clear it up.
It leaves just as many causes for
misunderstanding as exist at the present time—protests will still be possible and the temptation to lie and deceive will only be reduced slightly, since with a fair interpretation of the word "minor" the new rule will only clear technical infractions of the rules.
It can hardly be construed as permitting a man who has played baseball for money to become athletically clean by means of an immunity bath. Moreover, it opens up an entirely new field of difficulties and misunderstandings in regard to what shall constitute a "minor" infraction of the rule and the question of the comparative liberality or strictness of the various faculties which will be called upon to interpret this rule

Employes of Power Plant Can't Spare 24 Seconds of Time from Duty
MUST HAVE AN EXTRA MAN TO TOOT TOOTS
IS THERE A CONSPIRACY?
Rumor That Faculty Resents Rude Awakening at End of New 50- Minute Hour.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 20, 1912.
Just when it was thought that every thing was decided, and that the "tooot toots" would be on the job today, it was found that another employee would be required, said employee to be known as the "Official Tooter." Hense the usual toootless schedule.
A meeting was held Tuesday in the Chancellor's office, and immediately afterward Vice-Chancellor Carruth announced to one of his classes that he thought everything was settled and that today the whistle would announce itself, provided the Daily Kansan said so.
Here is a chance for some self-supporting engineer to work his way through school in the easiest possible way, a way requiring the least amount of time and labor of any job on the hill, and at the same time he can obtain some good practical experience.
Chancellor Strong says however that it will be at least one more day before anything can be done, since it will probably require some extra help, and this will have to be voted on by the Regents at their meeting today.
The total amount of energy thus required would be forty-eight foot-pounds.
It is estimated that it will require about six pounds of energy to pull the string that opens the valve of the "tooter." This must be done eight times every day, for a period of three seconds each.
The total time that this job would require would be twenty-four seconds.
It has been rumored that several prominent faculty members have objected to the new tooting system. They hold it an insinuation that their classes need the siren blast of a fog horn to wake them up.
“Besides, it is a pro's malleable right,” said one this morning, “to hold class as long as he wishes, when explaining needful topics.”
Debating Council Sets. Date State Recall of Judges the Question
MISSOURI ON APRIL 26
The date of the Kansas-Missouri debate in April 26. Kansas has the affirmative of the state recall of judges quetion. The debate will be at awrence this year. L The Kansas and Missouri debating councils have been trying to agree on a date for several weeks, and a decision was not reached in the matter until yesterday. The Kansas team for the Missouri debate is, Milton Minor, and Allen Wilber.
NO SPRING FEVER HERE
"The approach of spring has made the men in the gym classes more restless than ever," said Mr. Root this morning. The gym classes will have but four more weeks of indoor work. They are now working at fencing, basketball and athletic dancing. At the end of another week, they will be in crosstown running, soccer football and perhaps there will be a class in lacrosse.
Instead Warm Weather Makes Gyn Classes More Restless
The fact that the classes will take up the work in soccer football will probably bring to light some more new material for the game next fall. More and more interest is being taken in the game, according to the coach, Mr. Root.
Francis M. Veach, '11, is visiting at the Beta House.
MAY FORM ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGE MEN IN TOPEKA
Scott Hopkins, Regent Asked to Organize Club-Will Call Meeting at Commercial Club Rooms
“There are a large number of University and college men in Topeka,” said Mr. Scott Hopkins, regent of the University of Kansas, speaking of organizing an association of college men in Topeka last night, "and there is no reason why they should not be organized into a club. They could work to advantage for their own interests as well as those of the town."
In response to several letters received from alumni of various schools, asking him to head a movement to from an alumni association of college men at Topeka, Mr. Hopkins will call a meeting of all former University and college men of Topeka at the Commercial club rooms, in a short time.
It is the present plan to form the club in connection with the Commercial club, and to make the club's headquarters the temporary headquarters of the college men, although the membership of the two organizations will not be connected in any way. The eligibility of all new members will be determined only on the fact of their affiliation with an institution of higher learning.
PALETTE CLUB TO BE A NATIONAL SOCIETY
Plans Were Considered Last Night To Form Honorary Greek-letter Organization
At the regular meeting of the Palette Club yesterday afternoon, the regular program was put aside and plans for making the association a National Greek letter Society were considered.
The girls have taken up the matter with the Chancellor and Regents, and are assured of their hearty support in helping them make the club an honorary society of the School of Fine Art.
Communications have been received by the president of the club from Drake and Minnesota Universities, signifying their desire to have a National Greek letter organization as installed as an honorary society in their Fine Arts Department with a number of other Universities to have the club organized.
Only one thing remains, the securing of financial support and the guarantee of patronage, to make the Fine Arts department of the University of Kansas in the movement to form an honorary Greek letter art society in America.
The Palette club was organized here three years ago and now has twenty members, with Prof. W. A. Griffith and Miss Marie Benson as faculty members.
FELLOWSHIPS ARE OPEN
The University of Kansas offers seventeen teaching fellowships, yielding $280 a year each, to graduates of colleges and universities of recognized standing for the academic year 1912-13. One fellowship is offered this year in each of the following subjects: German, Mathematics, Education, Sociology, Economics, Romance Languages, English Languages and Literature, Chemistry, American History, European History, Botany, Philosophy, Zoology, Latin, Physiology, Greek and Anatomy.
The regular March meeting of the Sigma Xi society will be held Thursday evening, March 21, at the Puilson house. The program will be given by the members recently elected to the fraternity.

EXTOLS SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC
Says They Cause Laughter Which is Pleasing to Jesus Christ and Are Religious as Prayer-Meetings
Bishop W. A. Quayle spoke to two hundred guests, at the banquet given by the Methodist church to the University department of the Sunday school in Ecke's hall last night. At the end of a four-course dinner Mrs. J. R. Bechtel, superintendent of the University department of the Sunday school, introduced Bishop Quayle as toastmaster.
SELFISHNESS CANNOT BE ENJOYED
The theme of Bishop Quayle's
address was cosmopolitanism. He
said:
"As long as our 'cosmos is all ego we are unfit to enjoy the real, beautiful things of this world. When our range of vision leads us out from ourselves and life recerters, then it is worth while. But, as long as our 'cosmos is all ego' our hearts are as stone and we only see ourselves and even that very poorly. We must learn to se through the heart, then we can see out from ourselves on the road to the universe, where every large matter is."
Concerning our attitude toward life Bishop Quylead said:
Concerning our attitude toward life Bishop Quayle said:
"I greatly believe in youth and youthfulness. If I ever get so I do not enjoy a football game, or the giggling of young people, I want to be removed from this world, so that another, better person may live in my place. It is just as religious to go to a picnic as to go to prayer-mening. I do not care for people that are continually bawling, but laughter, I think, is pleasing to Jesus Christ."
LEAVES FOR KANSAS CITY
Immediately after his speech
Bishop Quayle left for Kansas City,
in order that he might be present at
the opening of the St. Louis Conference,
at the Grand Avenue Methodist church, this morning at 8 o'clock.
LEAVES FOR KANSAS CITY
A sure sign that spring is here, appeared last night in the way of the first serenade of the season.
SPRING MOVES SERENADERS
TO DO THEIR WORST
Four men with their musical instruments to accompany them and incidentally to drown out the discords that might creep into their voices on the harmonious strains of "Gindy" and others of the old standbys, went out to wake up the peacefully sleeping girls, and their neighbors. It was said that at one or two of the sorority houses a few of the sisters helped others up to assist them in applauding the valiant serenaders, and hold up their reputation for giving serenaders the best "hand."
From now on the girls will be awakened at least once, and maybe two or three times every night by the young men of the different fraternities who wish to do homage to their friends of "the more deadly of the species."
College athletes for women is gaining ground beyond more gymnasium and basketball feats. At Syrceuse a swimming association has been organized as well as a hockey team among the women. At the University of Washington fourteen Ws were awarded to women in competitive sports last fall, and a fencing match has been put on the intercollegiate schedule of the women of California and Leland Stanford.
The Presbyterian class of University men students entertained the young women's Sunday school class with a St. Patrick's party at the Westminster hall last Friday evening.

"DER BIBLIOTHEKAR"
STAGED MARCH 28
German Play This Year Is a Four Act Comedy---Cast of Eleven
"Der Bibliothekar," the German play to be presented this year will be staged March 28th by the German Dramatic Club at the new Bowersock Theater. The German Dramatic Club is the only organization of its kind in America. "Der Bibliothekar" is their first production. The play is a four act comedy with many humorous situations resulting from the confusion which arises when "Luther" attempts to pose as "Der Bibliothekar"
There is the usual love story running through the play. The leading parts are taken by Mr. Edmund Bechtold as "Der Bibliotheker" and Miss Mildred Manley as Sarah Gildern, the govess. The cast is as follows, slightly changed from the former announcement:
Marsland Homer Blincoe Edith,—his daughter Beatrice Dalton Harry,—his nephew Fred Sir MacDonald Ade Goldman Lothair,—McDonald's nephew Allen Wilber Eva Webster,—a friend of Edith's Rebecca Passon Sarah Gildern,—a governess Mildred Manley Gibson Tailor Paul Shafer Dickson,—Lothair's landlady Mabel Newlin.

TO THE WILDS OF MEXICO?
If they go, they will act as patrols on the border to keep arms from being sent into Mexico. Before now it has been the custom to send arms to merchants in Mexico, thereby evading the threats that threaten arms to the rebel forces. The Senate decided yesterday that no arms should be sent to any one.
It is rumored that the University K. N. G, will be called to Mexico the latter part of this month. Although nothing has been given out officially, there is a feeling in the guardenames of the diplomatic mobilization orders in the next few days.

COUNCIL APPROVES SUMMER BASEBALL
Recommends That Plank,
Sommers,and WalkerBeRe-
instated as Amateurs
EXPRESSES STUDENT OPINION
Men Who Can Make More at Baseball Than by Selling Books Should Play on Varsity Nine
The Student Council at its regular meeting last night, expressed the opinion of the student body in regard to the eligibility of Herbert Sommers, William Plank,and Fairfield Walker, in recommending that the white-wash brush be applied to these men, and that they be restored to amateur standing in University athletics.
All of these men admitted in their affidavits that they had played summer baseball for money, since they could make more in that manner than in any other way. The new Missouri Valley Conference ruling now provides however, that man who have played professional ball in the summer may be reinstated provided they have not played under the national commission.
The Student Council reasoned that these men are bona fide students, from their record here in the University, and that they are not here for the purpose of playing ball alone. Hence the Council feels just recommending that these men be admitted University athletics.
The Athletic Board of the University will pass upon these men next, and if they are successful in passing this board, their records will then be submitted to the Missouri Valley Conference. This body will pass upon the records of the men without knowing their names, whereby it is expected to avoid any partiality whatever on the part of the Board.

POOR RICHARD SAYS.
BOOK AGENTS AGAIN
One more of the many manifestations of spring is at hand—that ancient, threadbare feature, one might almost say worm-eaten feature, the book agent, is abroad and has begun to ply his trade among the students
The freshmen are the usual prey for the book agent. His tale of vast fortunes made in a single summer with comparatively little effort often finds a ready listener in the first year man. The work is all easy, everyone will buy your book—that is what people are for, to buy books from college students making their way through school—and every student returns in the fall with lots of money and experience in meeting people.
Nothing is ever said of those who fail to develop the "gift of gab", who return early in the summer from their experience trip. Those times when book agents' credit or better still, lack of credit, forces the salesman to hock his all in order to buy something to eat, those times are not mentioned.
Although all companies securing student workers are censored and passed by the employment bureau of the Young Men's Christian Association, the job hunter is advised to use care and judgment before entering the book selling business. Some men are phenomenons and make a brilliant success—they are the kind who can sell anything to anyone—but the most of us are not so constructed and perhaps an appreciation of that fact may aid many freshmen in their decisions not to enter into the literary profession.
This year's graduating class will hear a famous commencement speaker, Mabie.
INVESTIGATE THE ANNUAL?
INVESTIGATE THE ANNUAL?
Only two weeks ago an investigation of the finances of the senior annual was started. Plans there were for a re-organization to allow the class a better check upon the expenditures, and a committee was appointed to look into affairs and make a report sometime, perhaps.
What has come of this investigation? What have the investigators found out? What are the plans formulated for a new organization in the money spending department of the Jayhawk?
Nothing,—nothing has been done nothing found out—no plans for reform drawn up.
The management of the book disclaims any knowledge of being investigated. Certainly the active men in this bit of research work can not expect to meet in a room, air and discuss their various views on annuals, and draw up plans of their own for the financial management They certainly will not keep their findings a secret—the management of the book has been working for more than half a year on just this point and perhaps it would appreciate a little advice
But, evidence goes to show that
not even such meetings as these have been held. It is admitted that there is an opportunity here for improvement of the senior publication so why not follow the original move up, prosecute it to the end, till the truth is known and the best method of financial management resolver upon?
The University entomologist, by scientific management hiked the price of apples to $3.00 per bushel. Students ought to see to it that the University carpenter doesn't fool with the cost of board.
Declaring that those sweet young fledglings turned out of the college nest every June are as demoralizing to American labor as low-grade immigrants from the dumps of Europe, Prof. Vladimir Karapetoff, of Cornell University, bulges into print with a recommendation that college graduates organize unions for their protection against the grasping corporation that would crush their proud spirits with low wages. "Tis a grand idea, and the wonder is that nobody thought of it before. Once the scheme is worked out the students will be laid right locals organized throughout the land, the shame of Princeton, so recently announced to the world—the $6-a-week graduate—will become a thing of the past. It is a movement quite in keeping with the times.
THE BRAIN TRUST.
The professor urges the collegians to enforce their demands for what is commonly termed "good money" by strikes, lockouts, blacklists, and other devices. Such methods, he claims, are necessary to prevent the college man from crowding the hod carrier to the wall, so to speak, and taking bread from the mouth of the day laborer. Hereafter all that the class poet of "Siwash" will have to do will be to present his diploma to the editor of Nobody's Magazine, demand a job, and enforce the claim by threat of calling out the poets' union in a body on a strike. Every college man will start working for $25,000 a year, and will be sweet and lovely. No more will the hero of a hundred gridirons have to take a job as a bank runner at 30 bones per month. The old theory that the college man has to learn a business just like anybody else is about to receive one grand wallpapr. Professor, a little slow music, please!-Washington Post
HARVARD AND THE OPERA.
The Harvard Crimson has been bestowed the undergraduates about their implicit interests.
In all the large university cities of Los Angeles there is a close connection between the students and the opera. The students are allowee seats at reduced rates, form a large proportion of the audience, and get a great deal of education in that way. Here we have a university, and an opera near by, but the opportunity of bringing about close relations between the two has been neglected. The reason is evident: college men cannot afford to pay the full price for tickets. As a result they cannot go, and thus not only they lose a great opportunity for education, but the opera loses an enthusiastic backing. . . The situation in Europe provides us with an example of what the possibilities are. If any differences exist in the possibilities here, it is that they are greater, and more urgent. Here, more than in Europe, the opera needs backying. Money may be superfluous the most important need of the Boston opera company, but the more fundamental need is an intelligent interest. Harvard can give the interest. It is all ready to be used, but it cannot be used unless in some way Harvard students can attend the opera. A few Harvard seats, which men could obtain at reduced rates, would be a step in the right direction, and this, of course, would cost money. There are many schemes suggested for bringing about the relations that we encourage, but the particular arrangements are not for us to decide.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
AN old man on the point of death summoned his sons around him to give them some parting advice. In this his son is in a faggot of sticks, and said to his eldest son: "Break it." The son strained, but with all his efforts was unable to break it. His sons also tried, but none of them was successful. "Untie the faggots," said the father, "and each of you take a stick from me." He called out to them: "Now, break, and each stick was easily broken. 'You see my meaning,' said their father.
"Union gives strength."
STUDENT OPINION
CHANGE IN ANNUAL GOOD.
To the Daily Kansan;
The editor is not responsible for the clauses expressed here. Communications must be signed as a见证人.
In regard to the proposed plan of electing members to the annual board from the junior class, it seems to me that under some conditions, considerable benefit might be gained. There are, however, certain objections to the scheme. If for example, a man were elected from the junior class to assist the senior editor of the Jayhawk, what assurance would he have that he would succeed as chairman of his senior year? The editors are defeated to one that he would be defeated, if he became a candidate the next year, for the simple reason that school politics shift rapidly and that his fellowclasssm would not vote for him because he would be supposed to have a "cricch," and because he had been too "soon."
It would be better, therefore to elect a man in his junior year to the permanent editorship of the annual, with the understanding that he serve an apprenticeship for one year under the senior editor.
As to electing more than the editor-in-chief in the junior year, such a step is neither necessary nor expedient. Members who were to serve merely on the staff would feel no responsibility, would I believe, take little interest in the work, and would spend still less time on it. Their activity would be limited to reading books; their activities on secondalf was going into the book. Literary work for an annual may be done as well without a year's training as with it.
The editor, however, might, if he justified the expectations of his class, learn a great deal about time and space values, the co-ordination of the different departments, and acquire a general working knowledge of annual making. He would, no doubt, make metal notes of ideas suggested too late to be used in the senior book, and, to the very fact that most authors are working on annuals, would glean new ideas which would appear as features in his own book.
Under the above circumstances, a junior election would. I think, be advisable. To elect a crowd of staff members, would on the other hand, be useless.-CARL CANNON, Editor 1912 Jayhawker.
WANT A WALK.
Then there are the plush picture frames, the worsted mats for the lamp, made with a spool and four pins; strange glass canes that hung up in the parlor with colored water inside. What's become of them? What, what, of the big glass marbles
Please, won't somebody give us a sidewalk all the way around to the door of the Kansan office. Mark you, just a sidewalk—nothing to walk on…of course we would be tickled to death to have a nice broad cement walk all the way down to immediate demand of the day is just more important to keep us from sinking out of sight in the mushy bog between the Medic building and Fraser hall. To the rescue!
To the Daily Kansan:
AN OLD TIME PARLOR
—A. MUD-HEN.
WHERE ARE THEY?
What's become of the mud scrappers on the doorsteps and the mats with the large "Welcome" on them that used to greet us all whenever we opened the door? What's become of all the red and white barred stockings all the little girls used to wear? I can remember hundreds of little girls who used to run around with their legs looking like sticks of peppermint cake, but now I never see one. And the knitted mufflers around the necks? And or, yes—what's become of the big mitts we used to wear with strings attached around our necks?
Well, what's become of the mustache cup, Fr instance? Those china affairs made especially so gentlemen would not soil their lip adornments on the coffee. It seems only yesterday that Aunt Lizzie was sending them to all her best beaux for birthday presents. It was because I missed them the other day that I tried to find out how many other dearly relics of the near past have disappeared.
WHERE ARE THE RED TOP BOOTS?
I recall now that I didn't see a linen duster last summer, and I didn't see one of those straw derby hats we used to wear. What's become of them? And where are the red-top boys' boots, the boots with the little brass protectors, the boys' shoes with the big horse-shoe nail on the bottom of the heel? What's become of the hand-painted neckties; the what-nots that used to adorn the parlor corner; the fringe on the parlor furniture, the old plush piano stool with the fringe on it, and the iron animals in the front garden?
Is it not known that books are sacrificial, that they must be lived and suffered before they are written, and suffered before they are read?
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
with the little silver lamb inside that was the last work in knickknacks in every well-conducted American home? Also the stuffed doves under the round glass case that used to stand just at the side of the door, and the everlasting flowers. And what's become of the knitted wristlets you used to see along Broadway or any main street? Mother's canned preserves with the red sealing wax on top—are there any more anywhere? The old wooden wardrobe in the bedroom; the white bone-handled table knives and home-made bread; the little candy hearts with mottoes and mushy sayings on them, and the sheaves of wheat and colored pampas grass in the best room—where?
CHARLES FERGUSON.
Don't you remember the butter dish in the shape of the hen sitting on eggs and the milk pitcher built in the shape of a cow? You never see them now.
HOW ABOUT THE NAPKIN RING
And the napkin rings? Does anybody give a baby a silver cup with its initials cut in it nowadays? All my friends who have been having babies lately don't seem to have them—the cups, that is. What's become of son and heir's silver knife and fork with his name on them? None of these about, either.
Bustles, "spit curls," frizies, can be accounted for on the grounds of changing fashion, but what's become of the hair tongs, and what on earth has become of the natural hair? Where's the bolivar sandwich, which was made of a piece of coconut candy between two brown cookies, with scalloped edges? And that doughnuts with honey? Have you noticed that the little German band is almost what-has-become-of-it?—The Brooklyn Eagle.
TRAMPING ABROAD
I have read the letter from one of those college boys who contemplate going abroad this Summer on a walking tour and desire certain information. They do not need passports unless they intend to go to Russia or possibly Turkey or the Balkans. However, for such a trip as they intend to take, means of identification are desirable. For this purpose a letter of credit is usually sufficient. Well known agencies will provide these services every important town, and they will take care of all mail addressed to their care.
The steamship fares may be learned at the various steamship companies' offices. Instead of steerage, it would pay to consider second class on a German line. As for outfitting for a tramping trip, allowing for third class tickets on the railways, the cost will be not less than $2.50 a day apiece. For such a trip the least obtusive suit is a knickerboeker, with Norfolk jacket, cap and knapsack. These should be bought abroad.
Carry nothing in the hands and only the least possible in the knapsack; for example, a sweater, a change of linen, and a pair of low shoes. Other supplies may be sent on from place to place by mail. While a general plan for the Summer is desirable, do not make any hard and fast rules, but form plans from day to day, as interesting 'features of the country appear.
Have a good Badecker guide book of each country. When walking remember that when weariness begins pleasure and profit cease. Consequently, start early, make many trips to the near country of the neighboring country so as not to miss interesting features which lie near the path. Spend most of the time in a few countries.-J. N. Dodd, in New York Times.

For the past three years there have been spent in Lawrence for improvements one million dollars a year. In 1909 the street railway system was included in this amount and in 1910 there was extensive railway construction but during the last year almost the whole amount represented improvements by private citizens and the municipality. One million dollars translated into buildings and pavement and sewers and homes means a growing city -- an ideal place for a home.

The Queen's Counsellor Came Oven From England For The Dedication — Conventions Still Held There.
In the year 1872 the society of Friends built in the ten hundred block on Delaware street a stone church and convention building. It is now used as a dwelling house, but meetings are held there every two years, when delegates attend from Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas.
The church was built in the fall of 1872. Members of the Church went to England and Ireland for the purpose of raising money. Thirty-three thousand dollars was secured. One of the noted contributors was Col. William G. Coffin of England. Friends from England and Ireland, Friends from England and Ireland came. Among these was the queen's counselor, Sir John Devon Breathweite.
The church, which is sheltered back among a clump of trees, is an old stone odfire, of two stories. There is one island with many committee lawns off on the sides.
The convention which is held in this church is made up of seven or more men as representatives from quarterly meetings throughout the three states. The quarterly meetings are made up of a number of relish com-mers, the village group of towns. Thus the three states are divided up into many quarterly districts which are represented one year at the Friends University at Wichita in a convention and the next year a meeting is held at this stone church in Lawrence.
STATE DEBATING LEAGUE
MET SATURDAY IN GYM
Arrangements Made for the State Championship Finals—Thirty-two Schools Present.
At the second annual meeting of the State High School Debating League, held Saturday in Robinson's gymnasium Prof. J. O. Hail, Superintendent of the public school in Hutchinson, was elected president.
This league was organized in March, 1910, at the annual Conference of High Schools and Academies, and has at least a membership of thirty-two schools.
The final question will be on Woman Suffrage.
Two changes were made in the constitution whereby in the future, each school in the tri-angular debate shall pay one-third of the railroad mileage, and hotel bill occasioned by their debate, and also that no school in the district shall be up on their question with schools that are not members of the league.
The debaters have progressed to the district championship at the present time, and the winners are, Leavenworth, Garnett, Cherryville, Burlington, Junction City, Jewell City, and Ashland. Leavenworth has defaulted to Garnett, and as a result, the winner of the Ashland debate will be in the finals.
START TO COMPLETE THE BIG BUILDING NEXT JULY
The bids for the construction of the main part of the New Administration building will not be opened for at least three months, according to the statement of Secretary E. E. Brown made yesterday morning.
"The detailed plans for the construction work have not been completed and it is impossible to state who will secure the contract," he said. "I expect work on the main part of the building to be started this July."
At the time that the appropriation for the construction of the building was made by the state legislature, the specifications called for the completion of the building in 1916. The first wing was completed this winter. Many of the graduating classes have agreed to hold a reunion at the University when the final dedication exercises are held.

MANY VARIETIES OF WINDMILLS IN KANSAS
Ended Successful Lecture Course
By Chas, J. Reid
Prof. E. H. Barbour Has Written a 77-Page Book About Them
The great majority of Kansas windmills are shop made. But there are still thousands of home-made mills in the stare—so many and of such ingenious designs that Professor Edwin Hinckley Barbour of the state university once compiled a 77-page book, illustrated with dozens of photographs of mills, which is printed for free distribution among western Kansas farmers.
There are more windmills in the western third of Kansas than there are in Holland. But the Kansas mill is distinctly different from the Holland mill. A few of the Dutch immigrants have brought over with them the old idea of great arms of canvas that revolve slowly and stiffly.
When the great Santa Fe trail was the overland route over which $50,000,-000 of commerce passed yearly between the Missouri river and Santa Fe. N, M., there were regular stopping places at springs, creeks and buffalo holes. Between these the plains were like the desert described in the old geographies. Often in the summer the water would disappear and the beds of the rivers and creeks become dry. Not until thirty years ago did the settlers understand all this ground there were great sheets of water that were ready for the tapping. When they did find it out the windmill came into use.
RETURNED FROM PITTSBURG
Prof. E.F. Stimpson of the Department of Physics has returned from Pittsburgh, Kansas, which is putting into operation the new system of inspection of weights and measures. An inspector has been appointed to enforce the city ordinances and the state laws of weights at that place.
This is one branch of the work in which the University is helping the state. Several towns have taken it up, while many more are contemplating a new university in the State Senate to insure the instructions to the newly appointed inspectors.
Prof. Stimpson Was There Organizing Inspection System.
Professor Stimson also visited Fort Scott to look over the city ordinance on weights and measures which the city council is about to pass, and to see if the ordinance needs any changing in order to be efficient.
A good man has been chosen at Wichita, and the work there has proved of great value and importance in enforcing the laws regulating the sale of all conodites.
KANSAS PROFESSOR FAMOUS IN EUROPE
Professor Carl Pryer of the Department of Music in the School of Fine Arts, is probably better known in musical circles of Berlin and Vienna than in this immediate vicinity, although he is known all over the musical world as one of the leading composers of America.
Professor Preyer of the School of Fine Arts One of America's Best
Professor Preyer has seldom appeared as a pianist except in Lawrence on account of his teaching duties at the University, although in musical circles he is considered by many, one of the leading pianists of his time. He has appeared in three Music Festivals at the University in 1904, 1907, 1910 and will play in the Festival this year. His best known compositions are; "A Sonata," Theme and Variations, and "A Comet Piece." Both of these were made with the help of German firm, Briftekoff and Haertel at Lepidopus. He has published a number of Piano Studies which are used by piano teachers all over this country and Europe. At present he is engaged in the composition of a new set of Piano Studies which will be published by Presser of Philadelphia.

Bundy and Schutte to Try Conclusions With Hemphill and Roberts
MATCHES WILL BE TO THE FINISH
Same Men Met in Closely Contester Bouts in Blue Diamond Gym Two Weeks Ago.
The University wrestling fans will have an opportunity to witness two members of the mat squad in action here Friday night.
Two of the star performers of the K. C. A. C. squad will journey to Lawrence and wrestle two finish matches with the locals. The men who will compete under the K. U. colors will be "Bob" Hempill, university light heavy-bight champion and "Cally" Ressner, leader of the middle weight class.
The men who will meet the Kansas wrestlers will be Bundy, light heavy weight and Schutte, middle weight. The former won a close decision over Hemphill in the K. C. A. C. meet held two weeks ago. The latter tied with Roberts for first place in the middle weight division.
The matches Friday night will be finishouts, the best two falls out of three. This is not in complete accord with the rules of the Amateur Athletic Union tournaments. In those affairs there is a time limit set on the match and if a fall is not obtained within the six minutes that is generally matched on points. In the matches here Friday night the winner must pin his opponent's shoulders to the mat for two seconds in order to win a fall.
The matches will be held in the auditorium of the gymnasium.
Carl Pleasant has been asked to referee.

DIAMOND TRYOUTS CAVORT IN PASTURE
Sherwin Turns His Base Bal Squad Out on the Green
to Grass
Sherwin's baseball athletes began their out door work yesterday afternoon. The practice was held on the soccer field south of the gymnasium, as McCook field still has it over Potter Lake for dampness.
The workout consisted principally of fungo hitting and of chasing flies through the mire and over the barb wire fences. The fielding was replete with sensational errors but was almost good considering the condition of the field, as the place, though dignified by the name soccer field, is little more than an ordinary pasture.
After the hopefuls had floundered through the mud after the festive horsehide for an hour the men were given a brief session of batting practice. The pitchers seemed to have the number of the majority of the batters. Whether this was because of the quality of work of the varsity hurriers, or because of the lack of quality on the part of batters is still undecided.
ti is the intention of the coaching staff to hold practice from now on out of doors whenever the weather permits. As soon as possible the work will be transferred to McCook field where the present squad as well as any new material that may try out, can be accommodated.
UP TO THE CONFERENCE
Kansas- Nebraska Basket Ball Scrap to be Settled by a
After several weeks of demands, refusals, offers and threats between the Athletic Managements of Kansas and Nebraska concerning the playing of the basket ball games for the championship game, the matter has finally been carried up to the Missouri Valley Conference basketball ball committee.
Committee
The only result of the ruling of the Committee will be the fixing the blame for the delaying of the games on the proper party. The decision of the committee based, as it will be on facts concerning the delay will clear up the various newspaper reports of the matter.
The Phi Gams wil give an informal dance at the chapter house Friday night.
It is very unlikely that the series will be played on account of the lateness of the season, both teams having practically disbanded.

SOCCER MORE POPULAR
Yale Men Think It Will Displace American College
Game.
New Haven, Conn., March 16—A prediction that soccer football will displace the American college game, and that the new stadium which will be erected at Yale this spring will be needed eventually to hold the crowds that flock to the soccer game, as they throng the English championship games, is made by a member of the Stadium Committee in the report of the committee, which assures the beginning of that structure this year.
The game has steadily grown in popularity at Yale, and the largest crowds that ever saw the matches will attend the intercollegiate series, which began with today's match against Haverford.
The present Yale team is regarded as the strongest the college ever produced, and visions of a possible ship have floated before the players.
Yale adopted the system of graduate coach in soccer, as in nearly all her other sports. Alexander Timm, 1910, being chosen to direct the coaching system. Dr. Herbert, the former head coach, is a member of the college faculty, and is available in an advisory capacity.

GOLD BUTTONS TO SHOW WHO'S WHO
Five Different Emblems to Identify Former Kansas
Athletes
At a meeting of the K club yesterday a committee was appointed to look up a design for a small gold button with a K in the center of it, to be worn only by "K" men. These will be worn in the coat lapel or on the vest and must be shown before free admittance to any game will be allowed. They will be absolutely non-transferable and the man who is detected allowing another person to wear his K button will hold it open to forfeiture.
Five different designs of K's will be stamped on the buttons for the five different athletic events in the University. The man will wear the design representing the athletic contest in which he played. The "K" men will buy the buttons themselves.
PREPARE FOR ATHLETIC DIRECTORY
Another committee was appointed to prepare a dummy for the K book that is to be put in the trophy room of the gymnasium. This book will contain the pictures and short notices of athletes and the events in which they took part. It will contain about 400 pages and will last ten or fifteen years.
Both of the above committees will make a report at the next meeting, which will be held Thursday afternoon in the club room in Robinson gymnasium.
The trophy cases will be moved to one side, new heating apparatus will be installed and rugs and furniture will be bought. The walls will be hung with group pictures of former "K" men and of the individual stars of the old Kansas teams. These improvements will be made as soon as the necessary funds are obtained.
TROPHY ROOM CLUB'S HEADQUARTERS The trophy room of the gymnasium is now being used as a meeting place for the "K" club members and will soon be fixed up as a permanent club room.

WISCONSIN WANTS FRESHMEN CONTESTS
Badgers Believe First Year Should Have Inter-Collegiate Games
Intercollegiate athletic activity for freshmen in a modified form may be urged on the western conference at the next meeting of the "big eight." The problem now is being discussed by the Badger athletic council and in case the faculty committee sees fit to recommend the step to the general faculty and that body composition will be advanced by the Badger representative before the governing board of western intercollegiate athletics.
Coach Charles H. Wilson of the Wisconsin track team is the leader in the movement at the Badger institution. Wilson's proposition is to allow first year men to compete in sport athletics with the first year men of other international sports, and to help secure competition in later years for places on the various varsity teams.
NO FRESHMAN FOOTBALL TEAM
Under the plan proposed by Wilson freshmen athletics activity, as far as outside competition is concerned, would be confined to baseball and track work. Every safeguard which now surrounds the varsity teams to keep them clear of professionalism would be thrown around the first year teams. No freshman, under Wilson's system, would be allowed to compete against another institution unless he had completed his first semester's work in the college in which registered, thus barring all students who matriculate in the middle of the year.
C coincident with the application for freshman athletic activity, the Badger faculty will be ask at its next meeting to put Wisconsin teams on a footing with other conference institutions by allowing earlier spring “con” exams. The request has been made by the captains of the major sport teams of the university and has the backing of the coaches and the athletic council.
"ZARAGUETA' PROMISES

Annual Spanish Play Furnishes an Abundance of Blood-Stirring Castillian Situations.
A rehearsal of the Spanish play, "Zaraguaeta" was held Friday in room 306, Fraser hall. A little delay has been caused by changes in the cast, but a final disposition of the cast has been made. The part of "Carlos," will be taken by Bruce Hurd instead of Leonard Hurst as was first announced, and the part of "Ambrosio" has been assigned to Harold Crawford.
The play is under the direction of the Romance department of Romance Language.
Nothing definite has been decided about the costumes, but arrangements are being made for a specialty or two which will have a distinct Spanish flavor.

RABIES ON INCREASE
SAYS DR. M. T. SUDLER
Conditions Demand Legislation Providing Most Stringent Quarantine
ECONOMIC LOSS IS GREAT
University Hospital at Rosedale Has Treated Fifty-one Cases This Winter—Proper Care Needed.
A warning to the people of Kansas calling attention to the rapid increase of hydrophobia in this state has been sent out from the University of Kansas hospital, operated by the School of Medicine. Dr. M. T. Sudler, associate dean of the school, says that the "conditions are so grave as to call for legislation providing the most stringent quarantine."
Fifty-one cases of hydrophobia have been treated at the Rosedale hospital this winter. Unless treatment can be given before the development of the disease begins, there is no power in medical science that can avert death. Moreover the loss in human life is only a part of what the state suffers by the prevalence of rabies. The economic loss through the death of stock runs into large figures. One man treated recently in the hospital recovered, but all of his stock, bitters at the same time, died.
That a large part of the relatively great number of cases of this disease could be prevented by proper care and watchfulness is the belief of the University authorities, backed up by the experiences of other states and of such a country as England where hydrophobia is almost unknown, as a result of strict quarantine of all dogs entering the country.
By giving the treatment at actual cost, the University hospital saves the people of the state many thousands of dollars in a year; but the purpose of the hospital authorities is to make a complete saving not only of money but of time. The University hospital can realize that laws can be framed to remove this menace.
Y. M. C. A. ELECTED THEIR OFFICERS LAST NIGHT

SUSIE LEARNS YELL AND STARTS A FRAT
When interviewed this morning by a Daily Kansan reporter Susie, one of the pups who has enrolled in the department of psychology of the University, declared that she liked college life very well and that she and her mates have made great progress in their search for knowledge.
Susie has organized a freshman fraternity which is composed only of members of the class who have proved themselves to be good fellows and whose scholarship averages "one." She says that they are fast getting the College spirit.
"We began yesterday," said Susie, "to learn 'Rock Chalk.' I like a more snappy yell like the nine Harvard 'Rabs,' though.
"Some tall, slim man came down to our room and told our teacher, Professor Dockeray, something about typing some sort of a receptacle used for preserving tomatoes to our tails because he didn't like our college yells. Prof. Dockeray talked to him, and the tall Prof. talked back, and finally the tall Prof. went away from here,
"Say, how are the eats at the Baby Commons?" said Susie suddenly changing the subject. "We've got to bone for a quiz."

HELPS A CITY SOLVE ITS WATER PROBLEM
Prof. Hoad Leaves for Winfield to Investigate Sewage
Disposal
NUMBER 44.
Prof. W. C. Hoad, professor of sanitary engineering, and Charles H. Chandler, state architect, leave today for Winfield where they will investigate the sewage disposal at the State Imbecile hospital.
The sewage from the state institution at present flows into Timber creek and thence into the Walnut river not far from the intake of the Winfield city water works. The State Board of Control has an appropriation to build a wastewater treatment plant in this area and so protect the water supply of Winfield form pollution.
The present visit of Professor Houn and Mr. Chandler is for the purpose of deciding definitely upon the character of a subject in order to meet the rather exacting conditions.
From Winfield Professor Hoad will go to Pratt to inspect the progress of the construction work on the new fish hatchery. Consultations will be held with Prof. L. D. Lyche and the resident engineers O. C. LeSuer and A. W. Young regarding the direction of the work in the future.
Professor Hoad did similar work last week for Burr Oak, Augusta, Cherryvale and Lyndon.

FOR WOMEN'S DORMITORY FUND
Don McKay, Manager, Will Appear Before Council and Explain Proposed Plan - Practices Nightly
There is a possibility that the Red Domino play "Object—Matrimony" will be produced in Kansas City and probably in Leavenworth and TopelaKyoga, a musical taping of the musical comedy in the Bowcock Theater on April 9 and 10.
According to Don McKay, manager of the play, he has been requested by the members of the Women's Dormitory committee, to take the matter up with the University Council and gain their consent for an out of town production, the proceeds to go towards the Dormitory fund.
It has been several years since University dramatic societies have been allowed to leave their native health and show their histrionic ability in neighboring cities. The only reason for believing that some leniency will be shown the *D* Richmonds by the *R* Dorothy, and that the university is entirely to add a few dollars to the fund which the seekers after a dormitory are striving to collect.
The University Council meets Monday and at that time Mr. McKay will appear before it and explain the proposed plans.
Practices for the play are being held every evening in the opera house, and according to all reports "Object-Matrimony" is going to be a musical comedy that will send every one away whistling the tunes.

SCENERY AND COSTUMES WILL BE ELABORATE
"Der Bibliothekar" Will Be Elegantly Staged--E.Bechtold Actor-Manager
Mr. Bechtold spent Saturday in Kansas City arranging for the scenery and costumes.
"Der Bibliothekar," the play to be presented by the German Dramatic Club at the Bowersock theater, Thursday, March 28, is in charge of actor-manager E. C. Bechtold, a sophomore in the College.
"The costumes for 'Der Bibliothker,'" said Mr. Bechtold, "are under the personal supervision of Theodore Lieben, the costumer. Mr. Lieben played the title-role twenty years ago in Germany. His wife took the part of the 'Wirtin' or landlady. Later they played in German theaters in the Eastern cities of the United States."
Elaborate scenery is required in the play. The first act shows a room in the house of Lothair, a young bachelor. The room is in dark green, comfortably furnished in heavy Mission chairs, tables and couches.
During the rest of the play, the scene is changed to the home of Marsland, a country gentleman. The scenery for the second act, a park in a small house, has been made especially for the play by the Kansas City Scenic House.
Marsland's house is seen at the left, surrounded by trees. A stone wall at the back is covered with trailing vines. Beyond is a deep woods. Rustic chairs and tables are arredated on the lawn in front of the house.
A white and gold drawing-room in Marsland's house is shown for the third and fourth acts. Here wicker furniture will be used. A French dressing chair, a potted plant, practicable stairway at the side provide effective entrances and exits.

POOR RICHARD SAYS
Many have been ruined by buying good pennyworths
OFF FOR THE WAR
At last the University soldiers have ready at the tongue's end a valid excuse for their existence. There is a bare chance that they will get to watch the "greasers" over the line in New Mexico and Arizona. Undoubtedly if such orders should be received, there would be more than ten times too many applicants for a few remaining vacancies in the rank and file.
Kansas always have had a reputation for being fighters of the first water. A quick glance at the historical panorama will illustrate that fact. The present generation of fighters does not belie the record set by predecessors. It was only last summer that the University company livened camp life at Fort Riley by picking a quarrel with a company from a sister educational institution.
And they won their engagement too.
SHALL THEY PLAY?
If it takes the official tooter two seconds to toot the toots for one toot, how long will it be before he goes on a "toot."
The action taken by the Men's Student Council in recommending that three students who have played summer baseball for money, be declared eligible to play in the Missouri Valley Conference, re-open again the whole question of professionalism and the relation of the college man's summer baseball to his college amateur standing.
As a member of the Conference, the Athletic Board of the University can not ratify this action unless the board wishes to abrogate the ruling of the Conference stating that men who have played ball organized under the national commission, shall not be included in the re-instment provision. If these men have played in ball organized under the national commission their very excellence has worked their ostracism from the University team and as long as the rule remains valid or the books of the Conference, it must be observed.
However, there is merit in the plea that the men make for re-instatement to amateur standing. They have showed themselves bona fide students at the University. They have not attended the University for the sole purpose of playing baseball, and they have proved themselves worthy of representing the University on the athletic field.
It must be remembered at the same time, that in the regulation of baseball eligibility, other principles enter in for consideration besides those of purely academic work. It has been found that intercollegiate amateur athletics may not be conducted entirely on that basis. There is a higher ideal in college athletics that must be maintained.
Undoubtedly, there is a vast difference between the attitude of the athlete who enters into his game for
the fun in it and that of the man who takes part for pay.
The attitude of the amateur changes when he becomes a professional, and by professional is meant one whose business is some form of athletic work. He no longer plays with the ideals of the true amateur and he has been denied admittance to that company.
It is fitting that intercollegiate athletics should have such ideals to follow. In all other departments of the University those same principles are held up and maintained. No weakening alterations are sanctioned. Why, then, should the athletic department weaken and declass its ideals?
Educational Note.—The New York Herald observes that the three dogs enrolled at the University of Kansas will easily master the college yell but will find it hard to turn up their pants.
BORES
The girl who always says the obvious thing, who is always echoing the latest opinion she has heard about credit cards or Senior Mistress, who never, to all appearances, knew what the inside of an idea looked like$^2$-surely we have all met her, and have at some time or other, been guilty of swearing "wooden oaths" at her, as the minister's wife designated the minister's action when he slammed the door. We have all met her, because she is ubiquitous—but have we all discriminate in regard to her?
There are many different kinds of bores. There are bores who are pompous and condescending and very much needing snubbing; there are bores who are pain dull, and not responsible for their inanities; but there are other bores who are tired, or shy and ignorant about letting the humanness that is in them out, to meet other people's humanness. Perhaps the tired bores are more numerous out of college than in; probably you would discover that the shy bores are non-existent, if you took a little trouble about knowing them. Worth it, when there are so many sparkling girls that are easy to know and enjoy?
Of course—it is always stimulating and valuable to find out new people. And you may thereby save yourself from being a bore, for no one is a true bore who is genuinely interested in other people for their own sake—Wellesley College News
SOME RESULTS
The Glee club stopped at Dodge City on their return from the coast and gave an impromptu concert for the travelers who were stalled there on account of the heavy snow. Here are some of the things that the Dodge City Journal said of the men;
A number of easterners complimented the young men, not only for their musical ability but for their clean-cut manly ways. A Yale man told The Journal that it made him wish he were back in school again. It was indeed a disappointment that the boys were not routed this way for their concert trip, but Manager Buser of the Santa Fe Reading Room entertainment committee thought that the date followed too closely the entertainments by the Northwestern University Glee club. The Michigan Glee club had been ahead of the Kansas boys on the Southern circuit, and our youngsters were well pleased when everywhere they were told that the folks liked the Kansas concerts the best. You know there are people here who profess to believe that Ann Arbor is a better school than Kansas.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
AT a country fair there was a Bufalo fooon who made all the people laugh by imitating the cries of various animals. He finished off by squealing so like a pig that the spectacle turned on him, concealed about him. But a Country farmer who stood by said: "Call that a pig's squeak! Nothing like it. You give me till tomorrow and I will show you what it's like." The audience laughed, the Countryman appeared on the screen, his head down squeaked so hideously that the spectators hissed and threw stones at him to make him stop. "You fools!" he cried, "see what you have been hearing," and held up a little pig in front of him, lining to make him utter the squeals.
Men often afford an imitation.
an applaud an imitation, and hiss the real thing.
UNCLE NICKELOUS
SULFIDE SAYS
Bishop Quayle says picnics are as religious as prayer-meetin's. This is far from piicnic season and the bishop hasn't been a Sunday-school super-intendent for a long time. But, it seems to me that when ants get in the sandwiches, an' the lemon pie runs all over the fork handles, the kids steal the ice cream, the girls fall in the crick, and the cows chase the women all over the pasture, and the men strike out with the bases full, that a body loses his grip on religion, and feel around'in his mind for a good old-fashioned, blue feathered cword.
The editors that will visit the University will bring their wives along with 'em. Here's a simple test to tell who's boss. The woman that makes a bee line for the Greek museum has a hen-pecked husband. If he wasn't, she'd visit the Domestic Science department.
I see by the papers that a fellow jumped into the river last Sunday for a two dollar bill. There wasn't no profit in the transaction though, for it must a' cost him about $2 to get his clothes pressed.
Two soles were lost in the Pi Phi's mud hole last Tuesday. A man tried to cross it with low shoes on, and he never saw 'em again.
TRAMPING ABROAD
Margaret Andlin played in "Green Stockings" the other night, but I couldn't see anything of 'em.
During a trip abroad if the "college boys" are willing to button up their pride and wear old clothes during the sea trip they will find the steerage endurable. The accommodations are fairly comfortable and the food plain but wholesome and abundant, and everything is clean. They may be follow-voyagers with a lot of underwear, gloves, socks, that, and if they are healthy boys, both in mind and body, they can have lots of fun.
Steerage passage costs from $25 to $30. If the boys travel in the British Isles they should put up at “temperament hotels.” These little cheap hotels I have always found clean and comfortable and very cheap. They can be found everywhere. It will cost them 15. The waiter will bring us to 9d, or 9d for breakfast. Dinner and supper can be obtained at any convenient place for from 6d, to 1s.

A German inventor has come to the aid of the worker under water, the diver who is threatened by sharks and other monsters of the sea. Hitherto the diver in dangerous waters has had to rely for his safety on the use of the knife, or failing in that, upon a quick return to the surface.
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
The first time I read an excellent book, it is to me just as if I had gained wisdom from the old book. I book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting with an old one.
A WATER RIFLE
The German has invented a rifle that can be fired under water and is designed for the complete arming of the diver. The strange feature about this device is that it fires not bullets, but water, which is driven with such force that it penetrates with remarkable power. Indeed, it is claimed that the inventor has the armor of ordinary thickness with the water jet from this strange weapon.
The water rife has a stout barrel and is loaded with a cartridge encased in india-rubber. It is worthy of note, in this connection, that in the Sixties experiments were made with a submarine rifle firing small explosive projects by means of compressed air, but the invention never got beyond the experimental stage.-Harpers Weekly.
According to statistics prepared by the federal bureau of education, the presidents of the Universities of California, Illinois, and Cornell are the best paid in any American university. The president of California receives a salary of $12,000 and house, while the presidents of Cornell and Illinois receive $10,000 and house.
WHAT THEY ARE PAID
The largest sundial in the world is one formed by nature in the Aegean sea. "It is a veritable clock," says the Mariner's Advocate, "the hand of which is formed by the shadow of a promontory which rises 3,000 feet above the water. Near by are a number of small islands, and these are touched, one after the other, by the pointed shadow."

K. U. is doing her share in sending relief to the starving Cubans. Twenty dollars were subscribed by the faculty and sent to Kansas City. At yesterday's mass meeting, cash contributions to the amount of $18.65 and subscriptions amounting to $15.35 were secured.
A number of the students spent Wednesday afternoon at the Union Pacific depot waiting for the Fort Riley troops to pass through.
On last Saturday night the members of the T. N. E. held their annual jollification, at the close of which they invited a number of prominent fraternity men to join the organization.

It is perhaps worthy of remark that the much despised and harassed Laws have within the past two weeks carried off the honors in debating and athletics.
One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er;
I'm nearer my home today
Than I ever have been before.
NEARER HOME
Nearer my Father's house,
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea;
Nearer the bounds of life,
Where we lay our burdens down;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown!
But the waves of that silent sea Roll dark before my sight That brightly the other side Break on a shore of light.
O. if my mortal feet
Have almost gained the brink;
If it be I am nearer home
Even today than I think—

HISTORIC LETTER
Amos Lawrence for Whom This City Was Named, Defended Kansas
When Jefferson Davis, secretary of war, ordered General Persifer F. Smith to call out the militia to suppress the free-state movement in Kansas, Amos Lawrence, for whom this city was named, took up the defense of Kansas. On Sept. 9, 1856 he wrote General Francis Granger, who had served two terms in Congress, asking him to take steps to expose "the villainy" and not allow "the Republicans to be the only party in favor of justice."
This letter has been framed and placed in Spooner library. It was presented to the University through the kindness of Mr. William T. Sinclair, by the grand-daughters of General Granger, who live at the old family homestead at Canadalgua, New York. The Mr. Haven referred to in the letter was Solomon G. Haven, member of Congress from Western New York.
The autograph letter is as follows:
"Boston, Sept. 9, '56.
"Dear Sir: The course of the Administration as exhibited in the Documents just published is so unjustifiable that it meets with the condemnation of the honest men of all parties in this part of the country and, though leaders are unwilling to speak in public as they do in private, it will be seen in the votes.
The blunders which the Government has made is this, Pierce and Mr. Davis as you see by their instructions to the commanding officers, assume that the settlers are in insurrection against the Government and contemplate aggressive action. Upon this assumption they are to be overpowered and disarmed. The whole thing is false. The settlers have no such design. I correspond with the best men and most influential and see them and know in advance all their movements. They have been and are loyal to the government. They will not obey the Missouri laws and ought not; but they never have and never will l insist the United States Government, even when by its troops it has undertaken to enforce these laws. They have acted on the defensive wholly. Until recently they have not even made any reprisals from the Missourians who robbed, burned and murdered. Do write to Mr. Haven and others to pitch in and show up this villainy and the position of Mr. Pierce. Why let the Republicans have the credit of being the only party in favor of justice and constitutional freedom in general? Here this question rides over everything and will carry all before it.
"Yours truly, "AMOS A. LAWRENCE."
GOOD GOVERNMENT CLUB
WILL GO TO THE PEN SOON
Through the courtesy of Gov. W. R. Stubbs, the Good Government club will make a visit to the Kansas state penitentiary at Lansing and the Federal penitentiary at Leavenworth next month.
Letters of recommendation were sent by the Governor to Major R. W McClaughay, warden of the Federal prison, and Hon. J. K. Codding, warden of the Kansas state penitentiary recommending the club. The Governor has asked the club to look over the management of these institutions in every detail, criticizing the weak points, if there are any and commending the good.
The club will decide upon plans and a definite date of the visit at its next meeting.

Washington, Burned Out. Meets in Court House, [Church and Library

Washington High School, March 18—The burning of the Washington school building the early part of the year made it necessary for the high school to take up quarters in the court house, where the sessions have since been held.
When court convened March 5 classes had to be discontinued in the court room, but places for recitation were provided in the various offices of the court house. The commercial department carries on its work in the Presbyterian church and study period is conducted in the city library.

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
WILL THE BIG EIGHT STAGE BIG SCRAP?
Rumored That Western Conference Will Split Into Two Divisions
That the warring factions of the "big eight" colleges will form two temporary conferences of four members each for the government of intercollegiate athletics when the presidents and representatives of the institutions meet at the University Club Tuesday and Wednesday was the prediction made yesterday by western university leaders. With a break in policy over the summer baseball question already affected, the conference professors are expected officially to part company after discussing the situation as a whole.
Reports from the various conference universities indicate that the most radical of the institutions will refuse to back up on their opinions and that the conference therefore cannot survive. Chicago, Purdue, Northwestern and Wisconsin are the members slated for the group of four universities having strong sports teams in athletics, and Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa are expected to organize a body under the compromise provisions of the new "big eight" eligibility cord.
CHICAGO OPPOSES COMPROMISE.
The decisive stand of the University of Chicago against the compromise as indicated in the negative vote of the board of physical culture and the faculty is likely to cut an important figure in the proposed temporary conference of Chicago, Purdue, Northwestern, and Wisconsin. Wisconsin's attitude is somewhat in question, but it is thought that the badgers will come in on the plan.
The maroon agitation concerning the abolishment of all intercollegiate athletics will come to a head immediately after the two meetings, the Chicago officials assert. It is affirmed at the Midway that these games will be temporary, and that the faculty will go ahead with its consideration of the dropping of athletics
President Harry Pratt Judson of the University of Chicago said Chicago's final action would not be taken until later. It is the intention of the representatives, however, to bring the summer baseball compromise to a vote if possible, and to decide on a new form of governing bodies for the present emergency.
DRY SHOWERS IN GYM
Universitv's Means of Cleanli ness Suffers from Lack of Money for Repairs
Out of sixteen showers in the boy's bath room at the gymnasium, only five are in good working order. The alkali in the water eats the threads off the plates of the showers and they drop off. On account of the lack of funds they are not repaired.
The department of Physical education is also very much in need of some new apparatus but on account of the lack of anything nothing has been added this year.
"We expect," said C. B. Root instructor in physical education, this morning, "to have a wrestling mat, some more stall bars, and more hand ball courts whenever we can get the money. We also want the store room moved to the west end of the pool room and a window cut through so the storekeeper can watch the pool. As it is, with no one to keep an eye on the pool all the time, a man might drown before we could find out he was in danger up here on the first floor. For this reason we never fill the pool entirely full unless someone is going to be on hand to watch."
VASSAR GIRLS LEARN
TO BE REAL FIREMEN
Vassar girls have organized a volunteer fire department. It is not merely a rubber-bucket-brigade. They are learning to unrelief the hose, make couplings in the corridors, and rescue one another from peril.
Drills are held regularly and in addition to learning how to use the fire apparatus, they are instructed in the easiest manner of getting out of the various dormitories. A course in first aid to the injured is also included.

BALL DATES ALTERED
Time of Missouri Games Is Changed Because of Spring Vacation
On account of the Easter vacation occurring on the dates set for the first Missouri-Kansas baseball games an arrangement has been made with the athletic authorities of Missouri to change the dates of this game from the 4th and 5th, to the 2nd and 3rd of April.
This will rush the weeding-out process of selecting the varsity men a little but will be more than compensated by having an enthusiastic bunch of fans to help the boys on.
160 Men Try Out For Crew
One hundred and sixty men have registered for the intercollegiate crews at Cornell this year. 51 more than the total of last season.
None of these men are candidates for the varsity or freshman crews.

ENGINEERS' FIESTA PLANS TAKE SHAPE
Broader, Bigger and Better Program Than WasStaged Last Year
BIG DANCE IN ROBINSON GYM
Miners.
Plans for Engineers' Day on March 29, are almost complete, and the engineers promise a better program in all departments than they had last year.
K. U. Band Will Lead Parade—Two Floats Each For Electricals and
The different departments are working hard on their floats, and when they all are in line next Friday, they will present an interesting spectacle. The electricals and miners will each have two floats, and the engineers will. Several feature floats will also be placed in the parade. The K. U. Band will lead the marchers.
After marching around the campus, the parade will go through the downtown streets, and thence to McCook field where luncheon will be served.
Beginning at two o'clock, the engineers' field day sports will be pulled off on McCook. The track men are working hard for the events, and the meet promises to be a good one in the coming weeks. A few important events will be introduced, which include, tug-of-war, fat man's race, and novelty relays.
The day's events will close with the big Engineers' dance in Robinson Gymnasium at eight o'clock. A seven piece orchestra has been engaged, and the engineers will have a chance to make merry and dance away their cares. Eighteen dances and two features will be given.
Cornell is spending a million dollars on new buildings.
A PERSONAL RELIGION
President King Outlined Laws Of Friendship In Chapel Yesterday
"The laws of friendship are based upon a three-fold foundation, mutual self-revelation, and trust, mutual self-giving, and some deep community of interest," said President Henry C. King, speaking on the subject, "Religion as a personal Relation," in the closing lecture of the seventh annual institute for religious education of the University of Kansas.
President King defined the different threads upon which friendships are built and said that they are made by associating with those characters whom we should love, by testimonies from mouth to mouth, by words of gratitude, by sharing the burdens of others, and by sharing their happiness shown for a loved one's personality.
"The whole of life," said President King, "is learning to love. Every friendship requires mutual self giving. The steps of friendship can not be traced, you can not see continuous emotions, but be faithful, steady and true, and friendships will grow and great experiences will follow."
DRUG LABORATORY SEEKS
STANDARD FOR GELSEMIUM
Dean Sayre Looks For Active Constituents of Southern Plant Used For Heart Ailments.
The drug laboratory is now engaged in testing chemically and physiologically, the active constituents of gelsium, a plant grown in the tropics, and the clinical practice as a remedy for heart alliments where the heart is too active.
Professor Sayre has been working on the chemistry of the drug for several years and hopes to complete the investigation this year. He is now about to publish a paper for the Revision Committee of the United States Pharmacopoeia which will show an accurate estimate of the pharmacokinetic preparations—a workable method which may be applied in all drug labories.
When asked about the tests this morning, Dean Sayre said:"The trouble bithower has been to obtain a standard blood test and its preparations may be estimated."
Scott Rice and Swede Swenson debated long and seriously but finally dig for the coin. Rice lacked a quarter of having the necessary price, but Coddling took pity and accepted the reduced stipend.

The dates of the fouteen graduating recitals of the School of Fine Arts were announced this morning. It will be noticed that for the first time in a number of years the degree of Bachelor of Music will be granted to a man. Arthur Johnston will take his degree in pianoforte.
To shave, to dress, to walk (street car fares five cents) to the theater required only an hour for these happy students. They pitied some friends who were trying to get good seats at the box office, and joined the line moving toward the parquet entrance.

Brown is engaged in an effort to add a million dollars to the endowment fund.
Dean Templin of the College will address the seminar of economics on Monday, at 4:30 p. m., in Room 204 of the Administration building on "The Political and Economic Conditions in Mexico." Other persons than those in the class, who are interested in the seminar, are invited to attend. Dean Templin has recently returned from an extended trip through Mexico.
The door keeper grabbed their tickets and then dove for Swenson, who was half-way inside. "Here," he said in harmony as the door that goes into it tickets tonight.
Back past that line which contained only girl friends and Sigma Nus they walked, too dazed to notice that several of their fraternity brothers coughed
Once again came the question: Margaret Anglin or that Real Property lesson? They thought of the embarrassment if they couldn't recite in next day. They felt in their pockets. It seemed impossible to down that conscience.
With firm and decided step they marched out the door.
At a christening that night Swede and Scott were given the expressive titles, Nannie and Angora.
REV. ELDERKIN TELLS OF BORDER'S PERILS
Keep Well on the Safe Side of All Questions, He
Says
"LOW GRADE DESIRES" RUINOUS
So Give Your Appetites Ample Margh on The Right Side—Use Your Reasoning Powers
Reasoning Powers.
"The Perils of the Border" was the subject that Rev. Noble Strong Elderin of the Congregational Church discussed in chapel this morning.
"There is a method of using one's season rightly," said Mr. Eldikern.
"The problem of happiness is largely concerned with the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. Some boundaries are fixed, some are indeterminate. The boundary between total abstinence and temperance is fixed, but the boundary between temperance and 'intemperance' is only a matter of opinion.
PROGRAM FOR MUSIC FESTIVAL ANNOUNCED
"I asked some students the other night their opinion of temperance in dancing. The answers I got were too good for a week was about right. Others thought two or even three dances were within the bounds of temperance.
"But it is far better to be on the safe side than to steer a course near the border. In the matter of your lessons it is better to get a little more that the assignment calls for than to do a little bit less.
"The same conditions prevail in the world of business. Many a man is a financial wreck because he sailed too close to the debatable borderland of shady commercial methods. One should the spirit of the law rather than the letter."
DEPENDABLE MEN USE MARGINS.
Mr. Elderkin told of the increased strain of modern business conditions, and the danger of keeping close to the marinet of incapacity.
"A dependable man is so because he has a wide margin to go on. He can never tell when a demand will be made on his stored energy, but then is the time he will prove his worth or worthlessness. The finer your life, the less you can afford to travel near the border. What is permits of safety for the derelict, would sink the sound ship.
"And remember," contined the speaker, "youth is the time for obtaining a margin in life. Keep safely away from the border. Avoid the *low grade desires*, that lead to malnutrition, keep before you the idea of a beautiful maturity. Time gives no assurance of maturity. It may only make life more immature and painful. God wants every man and every women to arrive at a perfect maturity. And the first thing one must do to reach this end is to turn his back on the border."
"TURN YOUR BACK ON THE BORDER."
DR. J. M. COULTER FINISHED BOTANY LECTURES TODAY
Dr. John M. Coulter head of the department of botany at the University of Chicago, today finished the series of lectures he has been giving for the past two weeks on the "Evolution of Vascular Plants."
In this series of lectures Dr. Coulter has filled up many gaps in the knowledge of the evolution of our present higher forms of plant life, and has given out much material that has just recently been discovered in research laboratories and has not yet been published.
His Addresses Have Cleared Up Vague Points Regarding Evolution of Higher Plant Life
"These lectures," said Professor Stevens, head of the department of botany, this morning, "are among the biggest things we have had at the University this year. Dr. Coulter's style is attractive and filled with many people are enthusiastic about his lectures who have never studied botany."
Dr. Coulter is a former pupil and probable successor of the greatest American botanist Asa Gray. He is also author of the text book on Plant Morphology now used by the department of botany and considered an authority on the subject of plant evolution.

TRAMP, TRAMP, TRAMP
THE BOYS ARE MARCHING
That is, They Thought They Were Going to go to War, But it Was a Mistake
The "hay foot, straw foot boys" thought they sure were going to Mexico this morning and there was much scurrying around among the soldiers in anticipation of the expected visit to the foreign borders.
The cause of the commotion, was the mysterious visit to the campus this morning of Lieutenant Harry Alphin who was loaded with much war regalia and a beaming countenance. Inquiry revealed that startling news had been received from the secretary of war in which he directed the local militiamen to strap on their knapsacks and march away to war.
The anxiety is relieved about ten o'clock when Captain Steele arrived on the campus and stated that his honorable subordinate had simply been talking through his hat, or words to that effect.
The words of the worthy lieutenant caused much speculation among the student body in general and (the word "order" who were effected by the order,
Thereupon calm once again settled upon our University.
BOTANISTS DINE ON ROOTS, HERBS ET AL.
Students Give an Informal Luncheon in Honor of Dr. John M.Coulter
An informal spread was given last night in Snow hall by the faculty of the botany and zoology departments and the students of their departments, in honor of Prof. J. M. Coulter, of Chicago University.
The spread was prepared over bunsen burners in the laboratory by the girls of the bacteriology class, and served by the men. The menu:
Creamed Chicken
Olives Creamed Chicken Pickles
Olives Mashed Potatoes Pickles
Brownbread
Candy
Pineapple Ice Cream and Cake
Perhaps it was the prickly burrs with long names given as favors, perhaps the place-cards with pressed plants, perhaps the little sprouting plants in bottles down the table—anyway everyone had a good time.
The after-dinner speeches were principally reminiscences of the tricks they had played on each other; how Chancellor Snow, out hunting on a pony was once arrested by a policeman for shooting quail on the hill. He was released on a plea of being late in leading chapel, and being arrested, so he seeded in the bird's cray for scientific reasons; how Professo; Stevens was nearly murdered one dark night in Arizona, by a goat.
Professor Coulter will give one more lecture at the University before returning to Chicago.
GEE, DONT YOU WISH
WE WEER MT. HOLYOKE?
Mount Holyoke has received an anonymous gift of $50,000 gfor the endowment fund. A new bybuilding has been promised if $500,000 can be secured. $304,611 of this amount has already been raised and $250,000 more promised conditionally.

The cast for the annual Masque Club play, "The Lottery Man," was chosen last night. The first reading of the play will be held Saturday afternoon. In order not to conflict with the Red Domino play, Manager Wilson has taken an option on the dates, 16 and 17 of April, which probably will be the time of the production.
The leading parts in the comedy will be played by Harold Wilson and Fay Chisham. Mr. Wilson will take the part of the erratic newspaper reporter, which was originated by Cyril Scott in New York a few years ago. Helene Heyer, the girl who attracts the young newspaper man, will be played by Fay Chisham, Miss Gertrude Mossler will coach the following cast in the play:

VALUE OF REVELATION
President Sanders Spoke On
Idea Of God As Revealed In
Early Ages
"The Value of Revelations," said President Frank K. Sanders yesterday afternoon in his lecture on the Book of Revelation, "is not in the detail of imagery, it is certainly not in the light thrown upon modern religious history, but rather on the fundamental relationship of faith in God, the supreme and all-powerful Being.
"In the belief that the eternal forces at work in the first century are the underlying spiritual realities for the whole course of time, a deepening of the sense of security of the faithful and patient under God's care has arisen."
The Book of Revelation, President Sanders pointed out, abounds in uniqueness of spirit and was written in a time of great violence. It was a message of comfort for those enduring persecution and was the assured triumph of God's kingdom.

SURVIVES CUSTER MASSACRE THANKS TO TAXIDERMY
The only survivor of Custer's last battle, that massacre by the Sioux Indians which immortalized General Custer and his 277 brave martyrs, is a horse. He stands with his proud head held, in the basement of the Mu-ku, a mate witness of that terrible and cruel conflict of nearly forty years ago.
This beautiful specimen of horse flesh was owned by Captain Keogh and was ridden by him in that historical slaughter.
Nearly every man, woman and child is familiar with the account of Custer's last fight, but they are not aware that, contrary to history, there was a survival of this fierce encounter. The horse was found wandering aimlessly around after the battle, and was presented to Mrs. Custer as a token of the man she had killed her husband. The beast live to a good old age and after his death his carcass was given to the State University to keep as a memorial of this great man.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
At a great pennyworth, paus awhile.
HOW TO PLAY
The University of California has announced special courses in public playground work for the coming summer session. The object is to train men and women to take charge of playgrounds, to train teachers of physical education, and to give a general knowledge of athletics and playground work.
This is a novel departure in educational work, and it is worthy of being fostered. The questions connected with the modern playground movement are none too small and insignificant for the consideration of the brainiest college people. They are so big that the university is the only place for them to be correctly handled. They are certainly questions that the next generation will consider of the first importance, and it is fitting that the university of today should be in the advance guard of such a movement.
That there is no lack of interest in this new subject is shown by the fact that of the 1,950 students in the summer session of 1911 over 600 were enrolled for playground work and physical education.
RETIRING PENSIONS
A headline says "Zaraguaeta Promises To Be Genuine Article." This would have been a dangerous statement even for dramatic managers to make before Dr. Wiley resigned.
The University of Chicago at its convocation on March 19, announced pensions for its emeritus professors. The allowance grants forty per cent of the salary received during service and an additional two per cent for every year of active work over the stipulated fifteen year term of service for the University.
This recalls to mind the fact that the University of Kansas has only a few shortcomings in the opinion of the committee in charge of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching before the eligibility of its faculties to receive retiring allowances will be announced. It is still a moot question, as to when these hindrances will be removed and the University be declared eligible so that its faculty members may reap the benefit of that pension fund.
THE WRESTLING ART
Although wrestling is one of the oldest sports in the history of athletics, now for the first time bouts with men competing for other organizations will be held at the University, when the University team meets the representatives of the Kansas City Athletic Club in the gymnasium tonight.
For two years University men have held wrestling bouts, but the sport was made a conference game and arrangements for its support by the athletic associations were made only last fall.
There are probably few cases on record of men who have not at some time in their lives taken part in a wrestling bout. It was the primitive means of encounter in extreme youth—hardly a boy, but knows something of the effects of the trips and holds of the wrestling art. However, when students become older, the sport falls into disuse with the exception of its use in sundry "rough houses" that the under classmen may encounter. The ordinary layman has few opportunities for the practice of the art.
However, many men in the University are still deeply interested in the sport from the scientific view point. As a body developer, it is of the best, and the exercise of skill, judgment and control of the mind and body that are absolutely necessary for the mat artist, make it one of the most profitable of games.
Wrestling should receive the unqualified support of the students, both from those who wish to try for the teams and from those who only enjoy an interesting exhibition.
AN ANNUAL FLOOD
Judging from the following editorial from the Michigan Daily, the students at Ann Arbor are having as much trouble with inclement weather as our baseball team is having in getting out doors to practice.
We are in the midst of our annual spring flood. This year it threatens to be worse than ever, and the university authorities are doing less than the townpeople to help alleviate conditions. While the "natives" were out in force on Sunday trying to improve conditions, there was little evidence of any like effect among guardians. As the worst walks were taken, the worst in town on Saturday and Sunday, and Monday showed little improvement.
It will be necessary to follow the ordinary rules of navigation in order to avoid collisions. Remember that the oncoming_paper canoe should be taken to port, unless otherwise decided. Those who use motorboats will kindly not tie up to the library steps, and prevent small boat traffic. As speed is the desired object, gondolas will be strictly prohibited.
While the flood is on and we find ourselves nearly immersed in icy water, The Michigan Daily would like to offer a few suggestions which might be well for the distressed students to follow.
For those unable to secure boats, "D Skinner announces that he will furnish diving suits and oxygen helmets at cost, because of natural sympathy with the janitors. We do not expect this force to get out at night, so freshmen have volunteered to row over with their meals every day.
Swimming will not be countenanced before dusk. After that it is excusable because of the difficulty of keeping to the main campus channels.
ILLINOIS ENROLLMENT.
ILLINOIS ENROLLMENT.
Figures for registration in the University of Illinois, as given out by the registrar, should have been registered this year. Of this number exactly 1000 are women, an increase of about 300 over last year. The total number shows but a slight increase.
The college of engineering has the largest attendance, with 1287 students, two of whom are women; literature and arts second with 907, and agriculture third with 810.
A SONG OF SPRING.
For, lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of the singing of birds is come
And the voice of the turtle
Is heard in our land;
The fig tree putteth forth
Her green leaves.
And the vines with the tender grape
Give a good smell.
Awake, O north wind;
And come, thou south:
Blow upon my garden.
That the spices thereof may flow out
—Song of Solomon.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
TWO Fellows were travelling together through a wood; when a Bear rushed out upon them. One of the fellows was in front, and he seized hold of the branch of a tree, and hid himself among the leaves. The other, seeing him fall into the wood upon the ground, with his face in the dust. TheBear, coming up to him, put his muzzle close to his ear, and sniffed and sniffed at a growl in his head and slouched for bears will not touch dead meat. Then the fellow in the tree came down to his comrade, and laughing, said 'Where is that Master Braun whispered to you?'
"He told me," said the other,
"Never trust a friend who deserts you

CLUBS AT HARVARD
—The Widow.
What are the conditions of club life at Harvard College that make these facts significant.
One of the great advantages of college life is undoubtedly the intimate associations which the undergraduate enjoys with men of his own age. One of the most powerful means of embracing this advantage is through the college social club or fraternity. At Harvard, out of a possible 1509 men registered in the sophomore, junior and senior classes there are, according to the university register, 597 different men enrolled in thirty such organizations. Of these 131 belong to three or more clubs, sixty-five to four or more, twenty-six to five or more, ten to six or more, and one man belongs to seven social clubs in the college. Allowing for the election of additional men since the register was published and for the election of the usual one hundred sophomores to the institute, we may safely conclude that a bare majority of Harvard men enjoy the advantages of club life during their college course.
Why then do not more men enter club life at Harvard?
Do the clubs exert an immoral influence? There are some irresponsible individuals in the various clubs who may have given the late Mr. Crane opportunity for muck-raking, but a glance at the membership of these clubs shows clearly that they represent the best men in college life. For example we are acquainted with certain social
Club life at Harvard is based on probably the sanest principles to be found in any American college. There is here no unnatural "rushing" of freshman—a man is usually elected to a club from among the three upper classes on the merit of what he is known to be at college. There is also no petty rivalry between the clubs—a man is free to make his circle of friends as broad or as narrow as he himself pleases. (Even the mutually exclusive clubs, few in number, admit to their ranks men from other clubs.)
REPRESENT BEST MEN IN COLLEGE
SELECTIONS ON MERIT.
Finally, the clubs at Harvard do not engage as such in undergraduate elections—captains, managers and class officers are chosen without reference to membership in this or that club. In fact the club system at Harvard does not collegiate earnarks or detrimental to men” in various colleges and partakes rather of the normal nature of club life in any community.
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
By reading, we acquaint ourselves with the affairs, actions, and thoughts of the living and the dead, in the most remote actions, and in the most distant ages; and that with as much ease as they lived in our own age and vation.
clubs who make abstinence from intoxicants a condition of club life. Is the club a hindrance to its members? Does it tend to exert an influence toward loafing, late nights, and other distracting habits which tend to dissipate the energies of its members?
ISAAC WATTS.
This is undoubtedly a matter of opinion, but again the ignominious death of the Polo Club a few years ago and the decline of a certain club at present which has as an annual feature a "boose-fee" for a silver cup, are indicative that such clubs are not tolerated in Harvard College. Finally, then, are the social clubs undemocratic and snobish in their choice of members? Undoubtedly aristocratic tradition has something to do with maintaining the provincially oriented culture we cannot quarrel with a community of interest that binds certain sets of men together naturally, however small they may be.
What then is the reason that one half of Harvard College men go through their undergraduate life missing one of its greatest advantages?
BUT ONE-HALF ARE NOT BARBARIANS.
It would be an error to call one-half of Harvard's undergraduates bar." buriana" unified by qualities of character and good-fellowship to enter the club life of their University. Yet this is the silent verdict that is passed upon them at present—in general by outsiders, and probably not quite so brutally by those who are acquainted with conditions in the college.
To correct the faults of the present clubs in college wherever they may be must lie with the men now members of those organizations, and is at most a question of detail. The Illustrated believes that the need of Harvard College is for a greater and more diversified organization of social life—a formation of more clubs for purely social purposes.
MUST ALLEVIATE HEART-BURNINGS.
Sufficient organizations based on every conceivable pretext are found in the college, and these make our life interesting. But enough organizations to insure the enjoyment of good books, good friends, and that undefinable fellowship with men are lacking. This it is that sends many men out from college to work and heart-burning, with a certain feeling of lonesomeness that no degree of independent character and philosophical contentment can overcome.
Within the past ten years this spirit has found expression in the growth of some ten or twelve new clubs whose development has been a struggle against tradition and prejudice on the part of some, but which the college as a whole is coming to recognize as a valuable factor in our lives. We encourage them to enrich our lives. We welcome them and hope to see many more among those men whose community of interest in the college gives them a true basis for fellowship.—Harvard Illustrated Magazine.
TYROS EDIT MAGAZINE
The March number of the Midland, a monthly magazine published by the students of Midland College, came to the exchange editor's desk this week. This number was edited by the members of the freshman class and is a representative edition of the paper. The literary and news departments have been combined to make a good paper.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
THE CASTLE BY THE SEA
Hast thou seen that lordly castle,
That castle by the sea?
Golden and red, above it
The clouds float overground.
And fain it would stoop downward To the mirrored wave below;
Golden and red, above it
the clouds float gorgeously.
And fain it would soar upward. In the evening's crimson glow.
The winds and the waves of ocean, They rested quietly;
But I heard on the gale a sound of wail
and tears came to mine eye.
And sawest thou, on the turrets,
The king and his royal bride?
And the wave of their crimson mantle
And the golden crown of pride?
Led they not forth, in rapture,
A heauteous maiden there.
A beautiful mashen there,
Resplendent as the morning sun,
Beaming with golden hair?
Well saw I the ancient parents,
Without the crown of pride;
WITHIN the crown of pletae
They move slowing, in weeds of
wok:
No maiden was by their side!

For the past three years there have been spent in Lawrence for improvements one million dollars a year. In 1909 the street railway system was included in this amount and in 1910 there was extensive railway construction but during the last year almost the whole amount represented improvements by private citizens and the municipality. One million dollars translated into buildings and pavement and sewers and homes means a growing city -- an ideal place for a home.

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS GOOD BIBLE TEACHERS
Prof. Croissant Says Haskell Pupils Are Interested in Good Citizenship
That unusual teaching ability is shown by some of the University students who are doing Christian Association extension work at Haskell, is the opinion of Prof. C. DeWitt Croissant of the department of English. Professor Croissent is in charge of the Normal Bible class which meets Sunday afternoon in Myers Hall. The members of the class teach the Bible classes at Haskell every Tuesday evening.
"At the Normal class we try to answer in advance some of the questions asked by the Indians," said Professor Croissant. "The Indians are alert and free in asking questions. They have the same interests as us. We have them." Their questions are without any coloring to their primitive relation."
The work at Haskell is entirely non-sectarian. Professor Croissant says that in the classes the emphasis is on the things that make for good citizenship, on character-building and on the dignity of labor.

When Spring Zephyrs Blew the Gamma Gamma Girls Placed Hockey

By John Gleissner.
Abliene High School, Mareh 21— When a friendly little breeze blew up from the southland, and the Phoebe and the redbirds broke their winter silence, and Old Sol beamed with benignant kindness from the bluest of blue skies, then an air of extreme lassitude and good-natured indifference spread among the students.
Mayhap 'twas nature's gladness, mayhap the gentle sephyr from the sunny cime bore on its wings the germs of spring fever,-anyway, the Gamma Gamma girls, eight of them, thought attendance at school on such a day was an entirely useless and foolish procedure.
Accordingly they "piked," and made a hike out into the fields and meadows, adding much to their enjoyment.
In the morning the whispering little wind from the land of flowers was rushing home in great affright, pursued by his cruel big brother from the land of the Esquimaux.

TRACK STARS WILL COACH HIGH SCHOOLS
French And Woodbury Will Give Exhibitions For Coming Athletes.
A BRANCH OF EXTENSION WORK
Four Schools Have Asked That Uni-
versity Men be Sent to Give
Lectures on Athletic Training.
If the present plans of the athletic management are carried out, Tod Woodbury and Will French will soon be touring the state explaining "how I succeeded," to aspiring high school athletics.
These two men are the first of a number of University track stars that will be sent out to Kansas high schools to give practical talks on athletics, illustrated with exhibitions, in the events in which they excel.
Many of the men who have charge of the athletics in high schools have had little experience in coaching or training men, and, as a result, there has, for a long time, been a demand on the University coaching staff for pointers to aid in the development of high school stars.
French and Woodbury will go out as a result of the offer, made by Coach Hamilton at the recent teachers' conference, to send out men who could give advice to the high school students, who are engaged in their particular branch of sport, and who could also give talks on training to the high schools at large.
Halstead, Winfield, Marysville, and Sedgwick have already taken advantage of Hamilton's offer and asked that certain men be sent. Woodbury and French will probably go first to Halstead and Winfield.
Chancellor Strong has given his hearty support to the plan as another way in which the University may aid the people of the state. The Athletic Association will pay the expenses of the men.
Michigan Union Gets The Coin Instead of adorning the campus with a class memorial, the senior engineers of the University of Michigan will contribute $300 towards the proposed Michigan Union $1,000,000 clubhouse.

TRYOUTS IN FRASER
The men who are to represent Kansas in the 50 yard dash and the low hurdles at the meet next week in Kansas City will be chosen in a series of tryouts in Fraser hall next Saturday afternoon. These try-outs will be held on the first floor of the building, in the long corridor, which is the only place in the University long enough for staging these events.
Dash and Low Hurdles Will Be Run off in the Corridor.
The results of the tryouts over the shorter distances, held in the Gymsium have been unsuccessful, in that the team did not be chosen over the 39 yard course.
Coach Hamilton has a faint hope that some one will appear in the tryouts that will give Kansas a chance on paper, it nothing more, to win these events at the Kansas-Missouri meet next week.
"Chicago promised to give out the result of this canvass with much gusto, but failed to make good."
A challenge to the University of Chicago to give out the results of the Midway investigation of professionalism will be made as a result of the bitter speech credited to Dean Small of Chicago.
In the Illinois camp today it was asserted that the Midway investigation showed that 30 per cent of the Maroon athletes quizzed admitted having broken the amateur laws, this including all the teams and not merely the baseball squad.

It may be possible that some of the men will be entered in the Omaha Athletic Club's indoor meet also, though no definite steps have yet been taken in that direction.
The outdoor season will open with the Relay Carnival at Des Moines, April 20, and will close with the Northern Conference at Purdue June first.

Refused an Increase in Salary Physical Director Leaves Topeka School
Western Conference Meet, at Purdue, June 1st.
Coach Driver, last week, handed his resignation as physical director, athletic manager and coach, to President Sanders. The reason was the refusal of the athletic board to increase Mr. Driver's salary for the coming year. Some time ago Mr. Driver asked for a considerable increase in salary and the board did not feel that it could grant it. Consequently the resignation followed and was caused solely by the difference of opinion as regards the financial consequences, always been a friendly feeling between the Coach and the board. Action has not yet been taken on the matter and it is barely possible that an agreement may yet be reached but this is very unlikely as finances are scarce at Washburn and Mr. Driver has a better position in view. -Washburn Review.
KANSAS MEETS K.C.A.C.
ON THE MAT TONIGHT
DANCE THE HORNPIPE
Star Wrestlers Will Battle To The Finish In Two
Dry Land Sailors Will Do Deep Sea Dance at the
Circus.
Tonight the followers of the mat game have their first chance to witness the work of the K. U. wrestlers when matched against men of established reputation.
The boy's athletic dancing classes are being rounded into shape and the exhibitions that will be given by them in the indoor circus and during the Kirmess will be unique and interesting in the extreme. Fancy steps such as are usually seen only on the aesthetic side of the dance, and the "sailor's hornipse" and clog dancing will furnish amusement for those not so artistically inclined.
Matches.
When Roberts and Hemphil attempt to twist the toes of Bundy and Schutte they will be working on the men's shoes. In addition, their respective classes in Kansas City,
The contestants as far as weight is concerned, are evenly matched. In the light heavy weight class Bundy weighs in at 174 while Hemphill tips the beam at 173. Schutte has a few pounds over Roberts in the middle weight division weighing 158, the middle weight limit, to the 153 pounds of the last Blue Diamond tournament, the recent Blue Diamond tournament, Schutte and Roberts then grappled 15 minutes to a draw. Bundy won a close decision over Hemphil.
In the matches tonight no decisions will be given on points. In order to win one contest must put his opinion twice in two out of three hints.
Carl Pleasant, ex-K. U. football captain, now heavy weight champion wrestler of Kansas City will redefine the sport of wrestling to the mat at a promptly eight o'clock.
Every afternoon the piano in the gymnasium and the instructor's "one, two; one, two" may be heard in time with the light sliding steps of the dancers. The innovation of this form of "athletics" to the University gives another opening to get down to the more strenuous work of the gymnasium and the interest that is felt repays the instructors for the work they are giving to it.

THE TOOT MANIFESTO IS EFFECTIVE TODAY
"If Instructor Isn't Through Get up and Go"-Chancellor Strong
NO SIGNALS UNTIL AFTERNOON
Hourly Toots Delayed on Account of Non-Transmission of Secretary Brown's Order--Began at 2:30
After many vicissitudes and tribula-
tions, orders were given today by Edward E. Brown, secretary of the Univer-
sity, for the "tooty-toots" to begin
regular duty.
It has been decided that when the whistle is blown, no extra employee will be required, and that the whistle man can spare a few seconds a day to perform the operation. Instructions accompanying the schedule for the whistles say, "Students are authorized and instructors are present before after hearing the signal. Instructors will not consider this a discourtesy." The schedule and instructions are as
At 8:50, however, when the first whistle was scheduled to blow, there was not even a whisper from the direction of the power plant. When asked why the whistle did not blow, the engineer said that he had received no orders, and that there was nothing on the books to that effect. Mr. Brown stated three minutes later that he had given the orders, and that he was unable to say why the whistle did not blow.
The schedule and instructions are as follows:
THE NEW DAILY SCHEDULE.
Hereafter the "class hour" at the University of Kansas will contain fifty minutes and there will be an interval of ten minutes between succeeding classes. Signals for the closing of all classes will be given by a blast of the University whistle. The whistles will not be blowed at 7:45 and 1:20 when warning signals will be given before the 8:00 and 1:20 classes respectively.
It is expected that students will proceed immediately from classes dismissed at 9:50 to the chapel where services will begin as soon as possible. To avoid disturbance of the proceedings, no signal will be given to indicate the close of chapel service, but students are exposed to the activity and classes, which will begin as soon as possible after chapel service has been dismissed.
Students are authorized and expected to leave their classes promptly after hearing the signal. Instructors will not consider this a discouresky.
On Friday the signal indicating the dismissal of the first class after chapel service will be given at 11:30 instead of 11:45 as on the other days of the week.
The following is the schedule of signals that will be given by the University whistle on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday; on Friday the signal otherwise given at 11:15 will be given at 11:30:

As a result of the action of the Michigan Board of Tax Equalization, it is estimated that the University of Michigan will in the future receive $208,000 more from the State for its maintenance than heretofore. The three-eights mill tax will now yield an annual income for the University of $585,000.

SPEAKS FOR THE NEW RULE
Professor Price Tells Local Audience City Councils Are Out of Date
Efficiency in government was the subject of an address by Prof. R. R Price of the Extension Division a the Methodist church in Lawrence yesterday afternoon.
He described the things that com-
monly prevent efficiency in city gov-
ment, the principal one being lack
of police and surplus of elec-
tric officers.
An upper and a lower house and the system of ward representation are, according to Prof. Price, relic of the past that need removing.
The cure presented by the speaker is the board of commissioners with power to appoint such executives as the city needs.

AS WAS PREDICTED EARTH CUT CORNER
But Kansas Didn't Hold Tight, and Slipped up North a Ways
"Hold tight! Earth cuts corner today," was the heading used by the Kansan for a story in the issue of March 21. The tale went on to tell that the sun had gone to make a friendly call on the equator and that perhaps when he got his social duty off his hands he would probably come back to Kansas. All of which goer to show that the Kansan is a live newspaper with inside information on all subjects—scientific, psychological, natural, pseudo-natural, and supernatural.
The catastrophe came. The earl carcened too far one to side, and on the evening of March 22 one corner of Kansas commenced to trave through the region which has been made famous by Dr. Cook etc. (mostly so forth). By Saturday morning March 23, this state was occupying the territory which has been recently occupied by the Hudson Bay Company with all the little pleasanties connected therewith.
The time of passage was not considerably lengthened but it was sufficient to allow the earth to become frosted with twenty inches of a substance greatly resembling divinity fudge.
When interviewed this morning regarding the peculiar capers which the earth had cut, Dr. F. R. and a professor of meteorology and astronomy said, "This is something which is so out of the ordinary that can't understand it. I have not had an opportunity to examine my instruments as yet, so off hand the onl way that I can explain the phenon enon is this:
"When the earth comes to the equinox it has to run the gauntlet through an asterism. This is a group of three stars and when any planet interferences with their affairs they each give him a paddling with long spatulas. Our modern sland term 'give him a birthday' originated from astrogeny. One ofthe stars paddled too hard and the earth jumped a coog and went off into space which naturally threw us into the space which rightly belongs to the North Pole.
"The earth is balanced in a manner similar to a B. B. shot in a quinine capsule and it didn't take it long to right itself. According to my astrolab, we are now approaching the valley of the sunshine of happiness, and contentment should soon reign supreme."
Susie and her sisters have moved. The corridors of the Administration Building no longer echo the clamorous yelping of the little dogs who were ever striving to rend each other "tooth and nail," as is said to be characteristic of the female of the species.
THEY WON'T KICK SUSIE AND JENNIE AROUN' NOW
The animals are now quartered in "Susie Hall," a fittle cement building about half way between Administration Building and Potter Lake. The new home serves the pups as dormitory, as well as a mess hall and class room.
It was all Susie's fault. She got hold of some suffrage notions and is a firm believer in the doctrine that
ZOOLOGY DEPARTMENT WANTS A DOG-HOUSE
Providing for the housing of the pups which are being educated under the careful guidance of Professor Dockeray, has brought up the need of the Zoology department for a building in which to keep live animals for experimental purposes.
Kansas Is Behind Other Universities Providing for Experimental Animals
"We need a building in which we can keep dogs, cats, guinea pig, frog and various other live animals on which to make experiments," said Prof. C. E. Head of the Zoological department, "and especially we need a vivarium."
"We are a way behind other large universities with good Zoological departments," continued Prof. McClung. "Pennsylvania has a large building devoted to this purpose only, while Harvard has a number of small pens and houses on the roof of the Biology Building where we can work at the present time where we can do this work, and have not been able to carry on proper experiments."
noise is essential to the success of The Cause.
Some time ago an attempt was made to secure a green house for the Botany Department.
The outcome of so much complaining and threatening is that Susie and her fellow students have been forced to seek another roof, where they will not be able to work with historians with revolutionary ideas concerning women's voice in council.
Her more quiet sisters remonstrated with her but it was no use. Finally a tall history professor came down and threatened to take Susie's life. At this, Sister Jennie began such piteous wailing that another tall history prof became somewhat peevish and complained to the janitor.
Professor MuClung hopes that when the money from the Robinson estate is apportioned, an allotment will be set aside for this purpose.
Ground has been broken for a new $80,000 building for the School of Applied Design at the Carnegie Technical Schools, Pittsburgh, Pa. This college is one of departments of architecture, interior decorations, and other art courses.
Mr. Younggreen held this same position last year.
Charles Younggreen, a junior in the College, has received word from H. L. Cook, Secretary of the State Fair at Topeka, of his appointment to the position of Superintendent of Conservation at the State Fair for next summer.

The faculty of Ottawa University this week nominated Miss Gertrude Barnes of the senior class, to receive the University of Kansas scholarship for next year. Miss Barnes was graduated from the Ottawa high school, receiving highest honors in the class of 1908. She will take her work in the department of ancient languages. William G Nelson holds the fellowship this year.
The scholarship carries with it a cash prize of $280, for which the student is liable for two hours teaching work per week at the University.
The University of Kansas each year gives a scholarship to one senior in each of the small colleges of Kansas. The beneficiary of the scholarship is subject to election by the board of regents of Kansas University.

That Eastern college girls as well as Western prefer teaching as a life work is shown by recent statistics from Bryn Mawr College.
Sixty per cent of the doctors of philosophy, forty-five per cent of the masters of arts and twenty-five per cent of the bachelors of arts are teachers.
Thirty per cent of the graduates are married.
Doctor Day Says a Glass of Water Should Be Taken With Every Piece
"Boys, save your pocketbooks, and girls your headaches," said Doctor Day, of the domestic science department Thursday on a talk on the nutritive value of candy, particularly chocolates.
"With every piece of candi, equal to an ordinary lump of sugar," said Doctor Day, "a glass of water should be taken, because a strong solution of sugar is irritating to the mucous lining of the stomach."
"Sugar, because of its strong attraction for water, draws the water from tissues around the stomach until the solution is as weak as the blood in the tissues, unless sufficient water is supplied."

Prof. Higgins Wins His Case Against the Text Book Commission
The case was brought by Attorney General Dawson for the state, assisted by Hugh Fisher, a graduate of the school of Law of the University in 1909, and was defended by Professor William E. Higgins of the School of Law assisted by James Mitchell, University of Kansas law of 1893. The case involved the question of whether the School Board of Lawrence was using the adopted text books in good faith in the lower grades of the public schools, also whether they could use books not written by law. Judge Summers had this case under consideration and handed his decision down last Thursday. He upheld the argument of Professor Higgins and Mr. Mitchell in every contention which they advanced in presenting their case for the school board.
The question of the use of unadopted text books in the lower grades of the public schools of Kansas has been in dispute for some time between the State officials and the different school boards, the latter contending that they had the privilege of offering unadopted books in connection with the others.
The State has filed notice that they will appeal the case to the higher court to uphold their contention and make a test case out of it. Professor Higgins will have charge of the defense when the case is tried again.
KANSAS ROADS IN FLORIDA

ENGINEERS PUT OFF THEIR CELEBRATION
Circumpolar Weather Too Much for Flannel Shirt Athletes
ON WITH THE DANCE, HOWEVER
Hamilton Prohibits Use of Soft Track, so Events Will Take Place Tuesday, April 30.
It is the intention, however, to have an Engineers dance next Friday evening and arrangements have been made to have a regulation "hop" in the gym commencing at 8:30 o'clock and continuing until the lights blink out at midnight.
Owing to unfavorable weather conditions, the Engineers have decided to postpone their big day of festivity from next Friday, March 29, o Tuesday, April 30.
Reports from the track meet between Kansas and Missouri in Kansas City will be shown on a screen in the gym. In Kates and Paul Royer will play.
The final decision to change the late of the annual fiesta was announced this morning when a committee of engineers visited McCook field and pronounced the track to be for water polo only. The committee also reported that the track and the various high ways of Lawrence, have all the symptoms of being water soaked for weeks to come. Hence the shift.
The dance next Friday will not be "fussy" at all, but will be a general good time for the engineers. The tax will be fifty cents a couple.
REVEALS INNER FEELINGS
BY A CURVE ON PAPER
Machine in Psychology Testing Laboratory Shows Rate of Thought And Kind of Emotions.
You may be able to disguise from your friends your real feelings, but there is a new instrument in the psychology department that can tell all about your innermost emotions.
Prof. D. C. Rogers uses the machine in recording the brain action concerned with breathing and sound
The subject has his thumbs attached to a small rubber tube which is in turn connected with the apparatus. A slight electric current is turned on which moves the needle in use. The subject is then told to close his eyes and let his mind relax, the needle describing the rate of thought on the smoked paper.
A long strip of paper is carefully covered with lamp-black from a kerosene lamp and placed on the apparatus. Touching this are several small needles of varying sizes and fineness.
Another interesting experiment along the same line is the testing of pleasant, sudden, or distinctly unpleasant thoughts on the brain. These are tested by the same methods except that the results are described by the electric current against a paper back-ground.

K. U. Debaters Decide Against In- Come Tax.
If you are getting an income from dad the state will never put a tax on that check, at least as far as the K. U. Debtoring Society is concerned. They decided Friday night that an income tax would not be a good thing for Kansas. Carson, Conkey and Woolery upheld the affirmative, while Staton, Kennedy, and Madden talked for the negative.
The second debate was on the question of an educational test for immigrants. Here the judges decided that our present restrictions were inadequate, and that the educational test should be added to our present restrictions. Castle and Fisher were the affirmative speakers, while Zook, Finke, and Fairchild argued against the proposition.

DOCTOR COULTER
It is only on rare occasions that a group of students have the opportunity to hear lectures from the lips of one who stands as high in his profession as does Doctor Coulter of the University of Chicago. A scientist, who would fail not accept all the conclusions of others before him, but who has carried on a vast amount of original research work in his field of biology, plant evolution, and made discoveries that fill important places in the study of evolution, he has been kind in giving to the students here the results of his work. The University is deeply indebted to Doctor Coulter for his two weeks of lectures on "Evolution of Vascular Plants."

SUPPORT FOR A CREW
Four weeks ago tomorrow an editorial appeared in this column asking from the student body its opinion of the advisability of adding to the list of University sports that of crew work. At that time, it will be remembered, snow lay two feet deep on the ground—a situation nearly identical with that at present.
It is impossible to find out just what sentiment was expressed by the students at that time. Real spring however, is not far off and the incongruity of conditions will not be present. The time when men ought to be working on the river is fast approaching.
Perhaps it is too late now, though to organize and train a University crew and secure matches with other institutions this spring, but class or school crews could be formed to do work that would lead directly to a varsity crew for next year. All men who are interested in this form of athletics and who would like to have the opportunity to partake in the work should inform the head of the Physical Education department, so that a definite measurement of the interest may be obtained.
Reports from those eastern colleges and universities that ever have had crews to represent them upon the water, state that interest in the competition for places is running high. More than one hundred fifty men try-out for some of those squads. Class organizations are maintained also and regattas to decide inter-class championships are scheduled. The boat race between Harvard and Yale is always preceded by a race between the fresh man crews from these two schools.
On the western coast also, many men take an active part in this form of athletics. It seems to be a sport
whose possibilities on the river and lakes of the Central West have remained undeveloped. Some members of the Big Eight support crews, but the sport has by no means become general in the Missouri and Mississippi valleys.
There is no geographical reason why Kansas should not count a University crew in its athletic calendar. Every visitor from the east, who has any knowledge of crew work at all, invariably exclaims, upon sight of the Kaw river from the foot of Ohio street to Cameron's bluff, "What a great course for crewwork!"
Moreover, Kansas backs are just as strong, Kansas lungs just as good as those of either the west or the east where boating is popular.
Such an addition to the sport calendar would render necessary rather large initial outlay of money by the athletic association. But that may be doubtlessly obtained if the students show that they will support boating and thus insure the management against an absolute loss in the way of apparatus.
The brawn is certainly not lack ing, so why not push such an enter prise to completion?
FREEDOM, THE SAFETY VALVE
Reports of a revolt of students in the University of Arkansas are significant. The faculty recently suspended a group of youths held responsible for an anonymous attack upon the authorities, the charge being that rich men's sons were favored in matters of discipline. Whereupon the entire student body, 300 in number, "struck" and declined to attend recitations until the disciplined group should be reinstated.
In this "strike" the students seem to have had the support of many citizens. There are interesting aspects of academic administrative ethics and methods involved that deserve consideration, and the outcome will be worth noting.
In a recent case of somewhat similar defiance of the authorities by a group of students in Stevens Institute, Hoboken, New Jersey, the evident determination of the authorities to win, no matter what the effect upon the enrollment might be, had its sobering effect; and there was comparatively speedy capitulation. But the problem is somewhat different when an entire student body revolts, and that in a state university, which is more subject to public opinion and politics than a privately endowed institution.
Such challenging of authorities by American students seems to have increased rather than diminished during the past generation and to have been displayed in secondary school as well as in colleges and universities. The efforts to suppress high school fraternities and sororites has met with stiff opposition from students and their parents in many communities. Nor is the condition of revolt and the disposition to insure altogether surprising when the times are considered. Educational institutions cannot but feel the effect of a dominant mood of unrest, criticism, insurgency now governing the public. Youths are sensitive and responsive to the atmosphere in which they live and grow; and this is a time of revolt against authority. On the other hand, compared with European or Chinese student bodies, the american academic world is extremely conservative. The administrative heads of universities and colleges in the United States almost invariably stand for progression by evolution rather than revolution. When political authority is challenged, public officials in America do not instinctively turn—as must similar public servants in some European nations—to the universities to guard against inflammatory propaganda. The great politics controversies of America are wager without either educators or student becoming implicated in ways that

create academic dissensions and array elements of the community against the cultural agencies. Such warfarin and revolutionary temper as are shown have to do usually with problems of internal administration
To account for this exemption oi the American university from forms of radicalism which annoy some European governments is not difficult. It is because of the freedom of thought, speech and political propaganda permitted to teachers and students and the facilities furnished for full discussion of all "isms," and this within academic walls. Conformity for the time with the dominant will of the state not being enforceable upon either educator or pupils, the state in turn is not troubled by the university or college as a center of political conspiracy and seething social discontent.

Herbert Cavaness of the Chanute Tribune proposes to write a book on "Kissing." Herb being a bachelor and somewhat timid, it is inferred that his book will contain more fiction than fact. "It is such an inexhaustible theme," says he, "The unlimited kind of kisses would in themselves fill a large size volume. It is a veritable gold mine for any writer, be he a philosopher, satirist, scientist, sentimentalist, humorist, poet, historian, theologian or politician.
A BACHELOR ON KISSING
There is the first kiss you gave a girl, the time Ruby said you were 'harried' as she tried to wipe it off her sweet little lip; the smeary kiss the candidate for office, who never overlooks the babies, so well remember; the front gate kiss the newlyweds put on exhibition, the first two weeks of married bliss; the loud smack that father sometimes hears in the parlor; the good-night kiss mother used to give you as she tucked the covers around you, you prize above all other childhood memories; the society kiss, which you have to endure from your dear friend, Mrs. Smith, whom you call an old cat when her back is turned; the soul kiss, invented by Cleopatra, and so frequently described in the closing paragraph of the modern continued magazine story; the kiss Old Aunt Lucy, the family negammy, always insisted on giving every member of the family when she came to wash, who didn't see her

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
THR SIZE OF KANSAS
ISAAC BARROW.
If size alone were significant, Kansas could take its place among the first class powers of the earth. England and Scotland together are smaller than Kansas, while Wales, Ireland, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Belgium added together will not equal it in size. Or, we might add Demark, Andorra, Portugal, San Marino and Greece together and still not have enough territory to make a Kansas. Turkey in Europe is not as large as this state, and Roumania, Servia and Montenegro combined do not equal it. The great islands of Celebes, Java or Indonesia would make more than a dozen Polynesias to cut up into little islands and sow broadcast in the ocean.
Much has been said and written of the size of Kansas, and much more might be said before a true idea of its vastness is generally obtained. Eighty-two thousand square miles is a vast expanse of territory, but just how large we can hardly comprehend. Suppose we could combine the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland and the District of Columbia into one state; Kansas could contain them all, and still have room enough for another Rhode Island. Kansas is larger than Minnesota, in state accord. Texas exceeds in size both the Virginias. It is almost as large as the combined areas of North and South Carolina, and is larger than Ohio and Indiana together.
Butler county alone is larger than Rhode Island or the whole of the French possessions in the West Indies, and Atchison county equals the whole of the Dutch possessions there.—Kansas Farmer.
According to a special report sent to the Christian Science Monitor female education in India shows a more marked advance than does the male.
The various Greek letter fraternities of America have 300,000 members today in the colleges and universities of the land. They are all derived from a secret fraternity, or organized in 1750 by the students of William and Mary College at Williamsburg, Va., and called the Flat Hat Club. Among the members of the F. H. C. were St. George Tucker, Thomas Jefferson, and Edmund Randolph—Arkansas Democrat.
THE FIRST FRATERNITY
According to Francis Rogers in a recent number of Scribners the English language is the most beautiful and musical tongue in the civilized world. He says the Italian is too monotonous, the German too guttural, and the French too nasal, while the English has all the good qualities of all of these languages and none of their defects.
ALADDIN
When I was a beggarly boy,
And lived in a cellar damp
I had Adamot's lamp;
When I could not sleep for cold,
when I could not sleep for cold,
Since then I have toiled by day and night.
I had fire enough in my brain,
And builded, with roofs of gold.
My beautiful castles in Snain!
I had not a friend nor a toy. But I had Aladdin's lamp;
And lived in a cellar damp I had not a friend nor a toy.
I had fire enough in my brain. And builded, with roofs of gold
I have money and power good store,
But I can't give all my lamps of silver
e no more.
Take, Fortune, whatever you choose.
You gave, and may snatch me.
I have nothing 'would mine to lose.
For I have no more castles in Spain!
I will die.

For the past three years there have been spent in Lawrence for improvements one million dollars a year. In 1909 the street railway system was included in this amount and in 1910 there was extensive railway construction but during the last year almost the whole amount represented improvements by private citizens and the municipality. One million dollars translated into buildings and pavement and sewers and homes means a growing city --an ideal place for a home.

FINE ARTS CLASS IN A PICTURE GALLERY
Prof. Griffith's Students in Painting Have Examples Always Before Them.
WORK OF CHICAGO INSTITUTE
Over One Hundred Pictures From Largest Western Art School on Exhibition
How would you like to be entertained by a picture show while you work? That is the way the Fine Arts students are treated. The young painters can glance up from their work at any time, and see the pictures, painted in the Chicago Art Institute, hanging around them.
Prof, W. A. Griffith has secured a large exhibit of these canvases, and has hung them in the rooms where the students work, in the Administration
In room 304, where the life class works,
Professor Griffith has hung the paintings by the Chigcao life classes. The favorite in this room is a study of a girl in blue, by Linder. On the west wall hangs a portrait of a young man, by Leon A. Makielski, which deserves more than a passing glance. An especially striking charcoal drawing of a girl with a basket of flowers is just opposite the door on the south wall.
WHAT DO THEY MEAN?
ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS SHOWN.
The compositions for mural decoration and magazine illustrations, in room 301, represent everything from spring marigolds down to prosaic laborers, trucking crates and barrels. As the artist had given him permission, he gave, the visitor can allow his imagination room ad libitum, in guessing what they all mean.
In room 310, there are three large panel designs in oil. The one on the north wall, in blue and warm gray has delicate harmony in color and design. It is the favorite of the design classes. There are also applied designs for lace, jewelry, and advertisements.
The still life studies in the north end of the hall are painted in water color and oil. There are flower studies which remind you of a florist's shop and fruit studies which "make your mouth water."
There are over a hundred pictures in the exhibit.
Among the architectural drawings in the south hall there are some magnificent buildings. Three by R. Friedman are especially good.

TEST HEART ACTION OF BUBBLE WAGONS
Engineers Doing Thesis Work That Will Help in Buying
Don't buy your automobile until May. By that time the thesis from the department of Mechanical Engineering will be completed, and you will be able to judge much more accurately about certain important parts of your car.
As every one who is at all familiar with the principles of machine construction knows, the great issue of modern automobile building is concerned with the problem of wear and friction, of bearings and transmission, and of how to impart the greatest possible amount of the power produced at the motor to the driving wheels.
Your Auto
Just received a shipment of Douglas chocolates. Soxman & Co-Adv.
The value of the universal joint is one of the important questions now before the automobile public. A thesis is being prepared by Lawrence Browne and C. G. Martinson on the efficiency of universal joints for automobile transmission. "This is practically an unexplored field," said Prof. P. F. Walker, of the School of Mechanical Engineering. "There is no information available on the subject, and the importance of this efficiency test will be great."
Murray C. Conley is preparing the second thesis alone. He is making a time study of machining operations for the Witte Iron Works Co., of Kansas City.
R. H. Forney and Volney H. Hillford are making a test of one of the six 1100 horsepower gas engines in Seipia, Kansas, used by the Kansas Natural Gas Co., for pumping gas "This engine test follows an investigation started last fall, in connection with the Kansas City Public Utilities Commission," said Professor Walker. "There are several pumping stations equipped with similar engines and the test now being made by Forney and Hilford should make an interesting report."
Professor Walker himself is preparing a paper to be given in May to the Natural Gas Association of America, and expects to derive much valuable information from this test

MORE ABOUT
GROUND ALMONDS
Resembles Peanut Underneath and Bunch of Hay on
Top.
Probably very few people understand that the Ground Almond which was recently received by Dean L. E. Savre is a subterranean plant.
This plant is very similar to the tuber in growth, as the food portion grows beneath the soil. The nut is about the size of a peanut, shrieved, wrinkled, and flat, and has an orange color. The upper portion, which is above the ground, resembles a bunch of very thick grass. The plant will grow well and are an ornamental and from one seed, two or three hundred nuts will be produced.
The samples were sent in to Dean Sayre by A. L. Fike, a food and drugs inspector of Fort Scott, Kansas. Dean Sayre has sent for more information concerning the plant.

JAYHAWKER HOPES ON THE TOBOGGAN
Unless Ammons and the Wood burys Compete Kansas Can- not Win the Meet
SQUAD HAS BEEN SELECTED
In Spite of Slim Chances it is Expected That 500 Rooters Will Journey to K. C.
"With the Woodbury and Ammons in suits Friday night I see small possibility of our finding ourselves on the low end of the score; without them we will stand a bare chance of breaking even with Miss souri with our men at their best," said Coach Hamilton in speaking of the possibility of at last downing the Tiger in the annual Indoor Meet with Missouri at Convention hall.
Ammons has not yet announced his intention of competing but will probably respond to the needs of his Alma Mater and appear in the meet It all rests with the Woodburys who have been taking daily workouts and are ready to compete if the consent of their parents can be obtained.
The rest of the squad are for the most part green material and whether they will show up to any advantage in the meet is yet to be determined.
ROOTERS EXPECTED ANYWAY
Over five hundred rooters are expected to accompany the team and in order to accommodate this crowd several coaches will be attached to the 3.51 and 5.44 trains on the Santr Fe. The track team will leave at 2.25 and the band will accompany the rooters on the 3.51 train. Rooters intending to accompany the team may secure seats for the meet from Manager Hamilton. Balcony seats will be 50 cents and box seats $1.00.
Coach Hamilton will take one of the largest squad of athletes to the meet that has been taken by this University. Over thirty men have been entered. As only two men may compete in each event excepting the open 50 yd, and mile handicap events further tryouts will be held lasting the rest of this week in order to enable the coach to pick the men for the different events.
The entries are as follows:
50 yd. dash-D. Davis, C. Wood-
bury, Greenlees, Stuckey, Babb, and
Kabler.

AN ALL COLLEGE PROFESSIONAL TEAM
Men Once Undergrad Base ball Stars Now Shine in Big Leagues.
Among the endless variety of "all" teams which have been picked in the realm of sport there is one field which has been shamefully neglected, the college baseball field. All college nines are chosen annually, but nobody has tackled an "all" college team; that is, one chosen without any limit as to time.
An "all" college teamol this sport can be found which would be as strong an array as could be put together, whether a professional or what not, for a majority of its players would be men who since leaving college have turned professional. The fact that they have turned professional and been professionals of high mark is the best proof of their ability. So naturally the place to look for members of this hypothetical team is in the professional ranks.
The colleges have had players who had they turned pro would have been among the best, and there are a few that never turned pro who nevertheless were so proficient that they make the all college team for all time, but there haven't been many of these. In baseball the two major leagues are the biggest measures of skill and consequently this company is the best of reasons for choosing anybody who has done so for the team in question.
The field is a wide one, but the following team would not only be the strongest team of college players possible to select but, as said, it could hold its own with any kind of an all star aggregation: Pitchers—Coombs, Colby; Plank, Gettysburg; Bender, Carlie; Mathewsown, Bucknell; Catchers—Myers, Dartmouth; Reid, Harvard; Kafer, Princeton; First Base—Chase, St. Mary's, Second base—Collins, St. Mary's, Shortstop—Barry, Holy Cross, Third base—Devlin, Georgetown, Outfield—Fultz, Brown; Cree, Penn State; Thomas, Pennsylvania. For substitute infielder, Derrick, Georgia University, would fill the bill, and for substitute outfielder, Birmingham, Cornell.
CHICAGO DEAN COMPARES
COLLEGE SPORT TO RACING
Says That Professionals in The West Are The Book-makers of Intercollegiate Athletics.
Dean Albion W. Small of the University of Chicago in a speech before the university of Wisconsin alumni yesterday said that the big colleges of the West were following a path made by four campers in their conduct of athletics.
"A company of炎性 insane people in one-half of the big conference is doing for intercollegiate athletics that Dr. Small did for racing," said Dr. Small.
"The four for amateurism have exchanged pleasants and unpleasanties with the four that stand for professionalism, and much of our differences have been discolored. We stand four and four."
"One-half stands for amateurism, which means a square deal, and the other half stands for professionalism, which means flim flam."
New York, March 18—Announcement was made tonight that the Boston Athletic Association will contribute, on or about April 1, $1,500 to the American Olympic fund. Twenty-five thousand dollars will be needed. Walter Camp has forwarded a check for $300 as Yale's contribution. It is expected that Princeton, Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, and the other colleges in the Eas' and West will send funds later.

Men Were Still Tussling Whe Darkness Stopped the Second Bout
After wrestling for an hour and twenty-four minutes "Vic" Schutte was given the decision over 'Cully' Roberts in the wrestling match held in the gym Friday evening. When the match was called Schutte had a head hold on Roberts and was putting on the power in great shape.
There was considerable objection to the decision but followers of the game admitted that while it was impossible for Schutte to pin the K. U wrestler with that hold it would have been in his power to injure him seriously had the Kansas man not allowed himself to be thrown. This Roberts had no intention of doing and gamely refused his opponent's requests to "roll over." For this reason Dr. Rielly called the K. C. A. C. man the winner of the fall.
The men came back for the second fall and had wrestled 50 minutes when the lights were turned off for the night. No decision was giver on this fall.
Between the two middle weight bouts Bundy and Hemphill in the light heavy-weight class wrestled to one fall. This match was far more spectacular than the others and was especially interesting by the defensive work of Hemphil. His more experienced opponent finally pinned his shoulders to the mat after 38 minutes of exciting wrestling.
M. V. SCHOOLS SLOW TO FOLLOW THE CUE
Definite Replies on New Eligibility Not in; Will Prob-
ably Pass
Full reports have not yet come in to Dr. C. E. McClung, president of the Missouri Valley Conference, in regard to the action of the conference on the new eligibility rules. A vote is being taken by the colleges on the rules as submitted by the eligibility committee and favorable replies have been received from all but two. No answer at all has been received from these.
Dr. McClung said this morning, "I believe that the new rules will be passed by all of the conference schools and that there will be no trouble in regard to the restatement of several of our men. It is a rather tedious job taking a small mail vote and some of the answers have been slow about in I. have, however, already given the eligibility blanks that must be filled to Coach Hamilton and the men are giving a clear and satisfactory report of themselves. As soon as all of the blanks are filled out they will be turned over to the Men's Student Council for verification. I think all of the men in question will be allowed to play with the exception of Plank, who is clearly a professional man." Definite replies will be received from the two tardy Universities within the next few days.
Semi-Centennial Convention to be Hel in Chicago This Summer-Announcements Late.
THE NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION TO CONVENE
The fiftieth annual convention of the National Education Association will be held in Chicago, July 6-12, 1912. Unfortunately the announcements of the executive committee have been delayed on account of their efforts to secure the best railroad rates, but it is earnestly hoped that the active membership of the Association will aid the executive committee in their plans for the success of the convention and remove as far as possible the disadvantages of an unavoidably late announcement.
Arrangements regarding railroad accommodations, convention headquarters, halls and hotels can be secured from the state director, John MacDonald, editor of The Western School Journal, Topeka, Kansas.

"Rome, the Cross Roads of an Empire" is the name of a new lecture just completed by the Extension Department of the University. This is the first of a number of similar set which the Extension Department is preparing for circulation among the high schools in the state. It is beautifully illustrated by sixty slides nineteen of which are colored.
Maple caramel dipped in chocolate at Wiedemann's—Adv.
Other sets which will be completed in the near future, are, "Caesar's Helvetic Campaigns," "Insect Pests of Kansas," "History of Chemistry and Botany," "Physical Geography," and "Views of the University of Kansas." Most of these sets contain from sixty to seventy slides.
The manuscript of the lecture accompanies the set contains fifty-five pages, and is full of strong passages. For instance: "To understand Rome is to understand 2000 years of strength and weakness—beides, Rome still dominates; her law is still inflexible, her order is still axiomatic and her creed is still enshrined in the present."
The concluding words of the manuscript are, "We have made the circuit of Rome, hurriedly to be sure and many very attractive spots we have been compelled to pass by. But when we look down at the little temple now, and across at the great dome, each has a new meaning. We see in both and in all the vast sea of roofs and bridges, in the churches palaces and ruins, different letters spelled out into words and sentences in the great book of the eternal struggle of the human heart, out of solitude and darkness, up toward the sunlight and God."
Send the Daily Kansan home.
The only expense which the high schools will incur in using these sets will be the express charges and the cost of any slides broken.

CHEMICALS WILL TAKE AN INSPECTION JAUNT
Expect to See How Things Are Done In The Business World.
Prof. W. A. Whittaker will take fifteen junior and senior Chemical Engineers on a chemical industry inspection trip. They will leave April 15 and be away for five days.
The principal industries of Kansas City and St. Louis will be visited. This trip is possible through a recent action of the Board of Regents.
Two days will be spent in Kansas City where the packing houses and soap industries will be visited. In the zinc and acid industries special attention will be given to the manufacture of sulphuric, piercic and hydro chloricacids. The municipal water purification plant will also be visited.
The remainder of the time will be spent in St. Louis and neighboring towns. The manufacture of saccharine and organic preparations, the manufacture of general chemicals, the manufacture of corn products where they will watch the making of corn syrup, will also be inspected. They will also watch the manufacture of paints and pigments, enamel ware, lead and silver process. All plants covering the steel and iron industries will be visited.
The trip will not be as enjoyable as it might seem, for every student will carry a note book in which he will outline each plant that is visited.
Professor Whittaker is enthusiastic over the prospects of the trip. As only students who have their work all up to will be taken, he expects big results.
Subscriptions to the Daily Kansan are due. All subscriptions including those for the year can be paid in the Daily Kansan office, basement of the Medical building.

CULEBRA CUT BEATS
OREAD SNOW DRIFTS
Professor Corp, in Chapel Describes Engineering Difficulties at Panama
CUT WIDER THAN CITY BLOCK
NUMBER 47.
Speaker Compares Dimensions With Stand Pipe—Pressure on Sides so Great Bottom Bulges up.
An interesting discussion of some difficult problems which confront the engineers at the Culebra Cut in Panama was given in chapel this morning by Prof. C. I. Corp of the School of Engineering.
"The cut will be nine miles long, 496 feet deep at the worst part, and the bottom will have a minimum width of 300 feet throughout its entire length. In more familiar terms the width of the cut is equal to the length of a short block in Lawrence, and its depts will average several times the height of our stand pipe."
"90,000,000 cubic yards of dirt and stone must be taken out before it can be completed. Since 1,000,000 cubic yards would cover a space as large as a building plus half the height of our stand pipe, the disposal of this immense quantity of material presents no small problem."
Professor Corp said that the actual excavation was an easy matter compared with the problem of averting slides. "Fifteen per cent of the material removed in the last year was taken from slides.
Will Be Married April 17.
"Ordinary methods of dealing with this trouble are entirely inadequate. The enormous pressure is illustrated by the fact that the bottom of the canal has bulged up in several places showing that the lateral pressure of the material moving down the slopes is so great that the rock in the bottom is fractured and forced upward. This is a phenomenon rarely met with in engineering history.
"Notwithstanding the difficulties encountered," said the speaker, "the engineers are mastering the problem and it is expected that the canal will be completed well within the time set for opening in 1915."
Another Phi Kappa.
The marriage of Miss Helen Morrow '11, of Topeka, to Mr. Paul E. Walker of Holton, will take place April 17, at the home of Miss Morrow's parents in Topeka.

BUY A SPRING SUIT?
It is often said "that it is an ill nill that blows nobody good," and so it is with our continuous snowstorms. Just think of it fellows! there won't be any need of a new Easter suit. So we can go home Easter and take that ten dollars we had already to pay down on our new thirty-five dollar creation, and see a show every day. From the present outlook, there will be no occasion to get a Spring suit at all, but it is a poor rule that doesn't work both ways. Just think of poor Mr. Ober and the rest of them.

ONLY 39 "DATES" ARE IN
Arc The Third Year Men Slow
Sports?—Prom The Big Social
Event of The Year.
What is the matter with all the loyal "fussers" in the junior class? According to "Shorty" Hoffman, chairman of the Junior Invitation committee the juniors are a bunch of "slow sports," which they spend their weeks off and only 39 "dates" are in.
For the benefit of the rest of the juniors, it may be said that the Junior Prom, as is called, is the one big event of University social life and each and every junior in the class should take part in it. Lack of dancing ability is no excuse; there is the farce, and it is said that much amusement is to be had in watching some of the dancers.
“Great Jumping Tersiphere! I never saw such a bunch of tightwads in my life! We can't blame the girls, surely, for there as it's pretty a lot of them. But as there as there on the hill. It's the fault it gonall, or near-gallant, knights.
"Shorty" Hoffman is irate, and berates his classmates thusly;
"Can't they see," demands "Shorty," "that it's up to them to decide whether the prom is to be a success or not? The committee must know this week who are going so the proper arrangements can be made. With no knowledge as to the number who are to go, the managers and all the committees are seriously handicapped. And then when there are boneheads in the air the committee will get the cussing. If the juniors don't want the prom to be a very dull affair, they'll get busy right away."

FOUNDRY IN FOWLER
MAKES GOOD SHOES
Holeproof but Warranted to Brake---Spring Styles Now on View.
An order for 2,000 pounds of brake shoes for the Lawrence Railway company is being filled by the University. The shoes are being cast in the foundry room of Fowler shops, and the work of making patterns and casting is all done by students in the School of Engineering.
"We do small jobs of casting for companies and the general public," said Prof. Frank E. Jones, instructor in the foundry department, this morning, "and it not only gives the students a wider variety of work, but also helps to pay the expenses of the department."
All the brake shoes used by the Lawrence Railway company, and also those used by the Emporia Street Railway company, are cast in the University foundry. The cars on the hill line of the Lawrence company require a new set of shoes every ten days.
Besides casting brake shoes, the University does a considerable amount of casting for the Santa Fe Railway company. These castings include, rub-plates, levers, boxings, and other small castings used on locomotives and railroad cars.

FINDS HALF PINT PINTS
State Inspector Stimson Visits Stores in Pittsburg. Initiates City Sealer
Prof. E. F. Stimson, deputy state inspector of weights and measures, in a recent trip to Pittsburgh for the purpose of instructing the newly appointed police officers to measure in his duties, visited six stores and found fault apparatus in all.
Conditions in Pittsburg are typical of those in other towns and the aid the University is giving in helping enforce these conditions is an instance of the activity of the University.
Not only were the weights and scales faulty in Pittsburgh, but the cheap factory made tin measures were almost uniformly incorrect. Professor Stimson gave instructions to repairers of scales and measures in Pittsburgh about the proper method of mending such equipment as the city inspector condemns in the future. He found that there were no standard dimensions of measures in the possession of the tin-smiths.
The Sasnaks held initiation last evening for Guy Von Schriltz, Earl Killarney, Floyd Danskin, and John Hamilton.

FOR A BETTER ANNUAL
FOR A BETTER ANNUAL
The editor of the Jayhawk for 1912 has expressed himself as being in favor of the election of the editor of the book by the junior class and of a training course for him working with the preceding editor. He quotes from his own experience that under such a plan, he would have been saved much time and trouble in working out the departments of his book. He would have been better prepared to organize and direct his assistants.
There is an other way in which such a training course could make a better annual. Attempts are now being made by Jayhawker editors to publish a book that will interest all the students in the University—a cosmopolitan university book, which shall not be for the upper classmen alone.
In order to obtain the material for such a book, a study of the interests of the students themselves is necessary and an editor will be much more successful in solving the problem of a university book and in interesting everyone after two years' consecutive work than under the present system of election in the fall by the senior class for whom he must publish the book in the spring.
The attention of the committee charged with the enforcement of the ten-thirty rule is respectfully called to the fact that Winter is lingering in the lap of Spring.
A great clamor goes up spasmodically from many critics of the colleges complaining that the colleges and universities are losing their democracy. If Harvard can be taken as a fair example, figures tend to show otherwise. It is said that one man in every three and one half in the entire student body is working his way, in whole or in part.
WHEN THE EDITORS MEET
Once in a long while a really big event is staged at Lawrence and the University. This time that big event is the meeting of the State Editorial Association on April 8 and 9, an event not only of local interest but of state-wide importance. Here the foremost editors of the whole of Kansas will meet and talk and visit, —and go away with certain impressions.
Tuesday the 9th will be set aside especially for the University. On that day the editors will inspect the plant of the Daily Kansan and will visit the various buildings on the hill. The University should bear in mind that on that day it is entertaining perhaps the most influential body of men in the state, men who have它 largely within their power to shape public opinion for or against this institution, men whose good-will may in the near future be the most desirable asset the University can have.
The more enthusiasm the students can stir up over this meeting of editors, the better for all concerned. Every editor in the state will probably be present. Indeed it would not be amiss for students to make special efforts to secure the attendance of any editor friend who they think may not be intending to come to this meeting.
The principle speakers are men on the first rank in national and ever world-wide importance. They are Melville E. Stone, general manager of the Associated Press, and Thomas L. Masson, editor of the comic periodical, Life. The University feels highly honored by the presence of these men who are coming as its guests.
A headline says "Botanists Dine on Roots, Herbs Et Al." Evidently at this big feed, rooting was good, since the ravenous botanists et al.
A recent chapel speaker advised students to keep well on the safe side of everything, and to "shm the border," which is exactly what the University K. N. G.'s are trying to do.
An American baseball team will tour Japan this summer. The umpire who accompanies that nine will have a good chance to show what can be done toward the promotion of universal arbitration.
A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
In order to show the difference in the attitude of the students of the eastern colleges and those in the western institutions toward basketball as an intercollegiate sport, the following editorial from the Brown Daily Herald is printed. With such a spirit as is expressed, no school can expect to support a winning team.
SHALL WE KEEP BASKET-BALL?
Again at the close of the basketball season we hear the advisability of retaining basket-ball as an intercollegiate sport at Brown called into question. And it seems not unlikely from the opinions expressed at a recent meeting of the Athletic Board that this year the Board may take definite action to discontinue basketball as a Varsity sport. This question has not arisen this year, as it has usually in previous years, as the result of an unsuccessful basket-ball season. The season just closed has been more successful than any season for several years. Basketball is steadily losing its popularity as an intercollegiate sport. Each year two or three colleges discontinue M. I. T. has just decided that this year's team will be its last, and Yale is understood to be about to take the same step.
Basket-ball has always meant a serious loss to the Athletic Association here. The deficit in this branch for the past season is estimated at $750. Under the present conditions the sport must continue to lose money. The space for spectators in our gymnasium is so limited as to make the gate receipts very small. Moreover, the opposing teams were not our rivals; to beat them was no especial achievement; it could not raise Brown's standing in the athletic field.
Though fewer men can engage in basket-ball than in any other form of sport, the interest seems to have sunk so low this year that, in spite of an active captain and the best of coaching, it was barely possible to get out enough men to form a second team. Next year but one veteran remains, and the chance of developing any ability from this year's weak second and freshman teams appears meager indeed. With the increasing importance and popularity of swimming, wrestling, gymnastics, and principally, of course, track, is there not enough to attract every man's interest and endeavor during the winter without intercollegiate basketball?
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
LION used to prow about a field in which Four Oxen used to dwell. Many a time he tried to attack them; but whenever he came near they turned their tails to one animate, and wherever way he approached them he bent his horns of one of them. At last, however, they fell a-quarreling among themselves, and each went off to pasture alone in a separate corner of the forest. Then the Lion attacked them one by one and the Lion soaked an end of all four.

In half a hundred schools and colleges may be seen today the new dramatist in all stages of his development, from the veriest tyro to the "finished" product. Recently questions concerning college dramatics were asked of eighty representative educational institutions.
COLLEGE DRAMATICS
Fifty-five replies were received, and these form the basis of an article in the Swanee Review by Miss Eleanor Sheldon, who says that the answers show that college "courses of drama fall naturally into two groups—the old fashioned type, in which drama is performed in a literary way with almost no relation to theater; the newer type, which considers with dramatic theory and technique, especially as exhibited in the modern play."
Many of the fifty-five institutions reported the production of plays annually of the lighter sort, of which the "Mask and Wig" productions of the University of Pennsylvania are perhaps the best known. As Miss Sheldon remarks, "Such shows have no significance for serious college drama. Their wide occurrence and evident hold upon college sympathy is indeed the most discouraging fact, and the only one contained in the reports."
GIVE PRACTICAL TREATMENT
The adoption of such courses was reported by one-third of the fifty-five institutions; and, as was to be expected, the courses themselves present considerable variety. "Courses in dramatic composition are naturally rare, but they are perhaps the most significant of all as a measure of the keenness of the increased interest in the drama. At Radcliffe and Harvard, Professor Baker's classes have been unusually successful. It appears that when the news of the play rights at Harvard got abroad 'New York teachers laughed at the idea that managers could produce plays with the acting' for John Craig offered a prize of $500. He be awarded annually for the best play from any of Professor Baker's students at Harvard, or at Radcliffe, and this prize was first taken by Miss Florence Lincoln's play, "The End of the Bridge," of which 108 consecutive performances were given. The Boston Budget said of this play:
"At last it has been proved that academic instruction in the arts is not without its practical value. A college student without practical experience with the stage, and of course with a limited knowledge of life and of human character, has nevertheless constructed and written a play that is human and convincing. From the very first the general theater-going public has realized that there is a play that is worth being seen for its own sake."
MANY COLLEGEES PRESENT LIGHT DRAMA
Professor Baker does not guarantee a playwright of every student; but he does maintain that a dramatic composition is built according to logical laws of form, and that these laws can be taught.
Of old plays, the Elizabethan are the most popular with college producers, but the supreme favorites seem to be the 18th-century plays "She Stoops and The School for Seandal," and "The River" (the number of Greek plays produced has been increasing. Often the acting versions are prepared by members of
ONE WORTH SEEING FOR OWN SAKE.
the faculty. Mention must also be made of the performance of professional companies under college patronage, although these of course are not, striply speaking, academic drama. The Ben Greet and the Cobur Players figure prominently in the reports, and Maude Adam's production of "Joan of Arc" at the Harvard Stadium and Margaret Anglin's reproduction of Sophocles' "Antigone" in the Greek Theater in California rank by themselves. — Adopted from THE AMERICAN REVIEWS OF REVIEWS, March, 1912.
THE COLLEGIANS CHANCE
AS A PUBLISHER
F. L. Collins, the President of the McClure Publications Co., has written a statement for the Yale News, showing the advantages of the college graduate in the publishing field. Mr. Collins is a college graduate himself and therefore speaks largely from experience. His rise in his chosen profession has been a rapid one, and today he is acknowledged as one of the authorities in the magazine world:
"I cannot make a general comment on this important question that would apply to all college men," he said, "because it has been my experience that college men differ from one another in their qualifications for success as markedly as do other mortals. Our business, however, because of its partially literary character, is an especially inviting one to college men, and is subject to two or three definite statements.
HAS NO DISTINCT ADVANTAGES
"In the first place, except in the editorial department, college man has no advantage over other applicants for a position with a publishing house simply because he is a college man. The editorial department furnishes not more than one-tenth of the amount for which college man might apply. Therefore, it may be concluded that a college man in the beginning stands very little better show than the non-college man in the obtaining of a position in the publishing business.
"The departments of our business which furnish most of the opportunities which may be filled by college graduates are the advertising and circulation departments. In both of these departments the qualities most of value, in addition to the fundamental virtues, are aggressiveness, individuality, an impressive manner, ingenuity, resourcefulness, and sand. Here college men certainly have an equal show with non-college competitors, with, I think, a slight advantage on such points as manner and resourcefulness. Men who have earned their way through college are more likely than their fellow-students to have that quality of aggressiveness which is essential to success in these departments.
MANY OWNERS ARE COLLEGE MEN
MANY OWNERS ARE COLLEGE MEN "The proportion of college men among the actual owners of the publishing business is very high—probably higher than in any other commercial business. Of the four members of this firm, three are college graduates. This percentage, I think, would hold throughout the magazine business. With so large a number of the publishers themselves interested in colleges and college men, there is perhaps some slight advantage to the newcomer in being connected with that interest. This is, however, a pretty slim thread to hang to; in fact, it may be said that college men who have reached the ownership stage are inclined to apply the acid test with strict impartiality to all young men entering their business. However, there is a great advantage to the beginner in having congenial surroundings, and the fact that this business is dominated by college men undoubtedly does furnish that quality of geniality under which a man can do his best work."
A Men's League for Woman Suffrage similar to those at Harvard and Yale is being organized by undergraduates.
THE ROSARY
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
The hours I spent with thee, dear hear,
Ave as a string of pearls to me;
I wore my sleeves in the wind.
I count them over, every one apart,
My rosary.
Each hour a pearl, each pearl a prayer,
a heart in absence wring.
I tell each of them.
A cross is hung.
Oh, memories that bless—and burn! Oh, harren gain—and bitter loss! I kiss each bead, and strive at last to bearn.
To kiss the cross.
Sweetheart,
To kiss the cross.
—R. C. ROGERS.
"The Cross-Road of an Empire"
A loan collection of sixty lantern slides, accompanied by a full and complete typewritten lecture, may now be secured from the EXTENSION DIVISION of the University of Kansas, upon
"Rome, The World Center of Olden Times."
These slides—many of them artistically colored—give a general view of the center of the Roman Empire, with detailed descriptions of the most important buildings and monuments. The only expense involved is the cost of transportation.
Address,
University Extension Division LAWRENCE, KANSAS
For the past three years there have been spent in Lawrence for improvements one million dollars a year. In 1909 the street railway system was included in this amount and in 1910 there was extensive railway construction but during the last year almost the whole amount represented improvements by private citizens and the municipality. One million dollars translated into buildings and pavement and sewers and homes means a growing city--an ideal place for a home.

REVENUE PAYS INSTRUCTOR
Skilled Molder's Wages Come From Money Earned by Foundry—Work Done for Santa Fe.
Fowler Shops may fairly claim to be "working their way through school." The shops have always done the repair work of the University. In addition to this a great deal of machine work and foundry work is done for outsiders for which they are charged according to a regular schedule of prices.
Old steam pumps are rebuilt and put in first class working order. Small pumps which use city water, to pump rain water, are remodeled and fitted with electric motors. The industrial research fellows have many delicate pieces of machinery made at the shops for which they are charged, as outsiders.
The revenue from foundry work done for outsiders is more than sufficient to pay for the services of the skilled molder who is employed to aid in teaching foundry work. A "heat" averaging nearly two tons is taken off about once a week. Brake shoes which "fit like gloves" are cast here for both the Lawrence Street Railway Co., and the Emporia Street Railway Co. The work is bid for in open competition.
By a special arrangement with the Santa Fe shops, the foundry is casting several tons of small pieces used in the shops at Topeka. The present contract calls for 1,000 pieces such as whistle levers, air drum blocks, hand rail spoils, etc. The patterns are made and the pieces cast and finished before the work is shipped.

CARBONDALE'S HIGH ATTENDANCE RECORD
Has a High School Student for Every Seven of Its Inhabitants
Carbondale High School, March 25—One pupil enrolled in the high school for every seven inhabitants—this is the record of Carbondale as a small community in which an interest is shown in education. It would be interesting to know whether or not there is another neighborhood in Kansas which has a higher percentage of its population in the high school.
The Daily Kansan stated not long ago that there was one pupil in Kinsley high school for every fifteen inhabitants. This is the nearest approach that has been made to Carbondale's showing, so far as has been heard.
WABAUNSEE TRACK MEET
DELAYED BY BAD WEATHER
By Will Montgomery.
Eskridge High School, March 24—The annual track meet of the Wabauensee county high schools has been postponed until May 11. The time first set for the meet was the last Saturday in April. But the weather has been so bad that the track men could not get out to practice, so all the schools decided that it would be best to postpone the meet.
The high school quartette went to Harvevieve Friday evening where they helped on a program which was given at that place.

Burlington, Kansas, March 23—The Burlington high school debating team defeated the Cherryvale high school debating team unanimously in a debate held here Friday. The question for debate was: Resolved, "That the pending amendment to the constitution of the state of Kansas extending the right of suffrage to woman should be adopted." Burlington had the affirmative. Burlington will debate with Junction City on the same question.
Gardner High School, March 25.—Gardner claims the distinction of having more boys than girls enrolled in school. The ratio in the grades is 103 to 93; in the high school it is 26 to 24. This year's graduating class numbers four boys and three girls—not up to the ratio of a year ago when there were five boys and one girl. Professor Searson of K. S. A. C will deliver the commencement address this year.

TO MAKE ICE-CREAM FROM MILK POWDER
Professor Jackson Says It Is an Advance in Food Preparation
Prof. H. Louis Jackson, of the department of food analysis, has received a sample of milk powder with a request that it be analyzed.
The directions say that four or five ounces of water added to an ounce of the powder will make real liquid milk. The percentage of butter fat in the powder is high, and according to Professor Jackson, milk in powdered form is really more sterile than the ordinary liquid kind.
Another use of the powder is to facilitate the making of ice cream. Professor Jackson intends to try it out for this purpose and if the results are good, he holds that it will show a great advance in the preparation of food stuff. The food analysis department has another can of milk powder which has kept perfectly for over a year.
"As long as the powder is kept dry," said Professor Jackson this morning, "there is no reason to be afraid that it will not keep indemnitely."
The Cooley Club bill providing for an educational test in addition to the present tests nearly brought about an adjournment of the club Friday, without a vote. Each side was fearful it would lose. The Senators, when the vote was finally taken were eight against the bill to seven for it. An amendment to the constitution dropping men from membership on account of two unexcused consecutive absences, was passed.

WOODBURY BROTHERS TO HELP FIGHT TIGER
Ammons Also is Expected to Take Part in Kansas Missouri Meet
TRACK HOPES ARE BRIGHTER
Mr. Woodbury Telephoned His Consent to Boys' Entry at 9 O'clock Last Night.
The Woodbury boys will enter the Kansas-Missouri Indoor Meet held in Convention hall Friday night. It is probable that Ammons will also appear in a Kansas suit.
At nine o'clock last night Coach Hamilton received a telephone message from Mr. F. M. Woodbury, father of the Kansas stars saying that the boys would be allowed to enter the meet Friday night.
During the entire season the prospects of the Kansas track squad, not bright at the best, have been further darkened by the fact that parental objections had kept the Woodburyss from appearing in track athletics this spring. The fact that Ammons, the star weight man, had turned his attention to baseball did not tend to clear away the gloom.
The news that the three men will enter the meet, while it does not point to a K. U. victory, means that Kansas will at least make a respectable showing. This was much in doubt before the fact that the men would enter the meet was known.
FAT FOLKS SHOULD ALL GO SWIMMING
That is the Best Way to Reduce Says Dr. Naismith
Swimming is the best exercise a man can take to reduce his flesh because he is not only "water colored" when in action but he must also straighten out if he would keep his double chin afloat. So says Dr. Naismith, physical director at the University. But the over-cool water too long may induce to supply an extra padding to keep the teeth from chattering.
The "Faties" can never hope, however, to become as thin as the "Skinniers" for superfluous flesh only, can be removed. A man may know when he has "trained down" when he gains by next morning all he lost in exercise the day before. Any exercise, if it be strenuous enough, is a fresh rebutter but a slow one will find in the "water cure" the mildest and most efficient remedy for obesity.
The weight a man may lose in a hard game was shown after the Nebraska football contest last year when Davidson lost ten pounds, Cowell ten, "Tod" Woodbury seven, and Ammons six pounds. Long distance swimmers lose even more weight after a long pull through the water.
Miss Hildegarde Mense, ex '11, of Kansas City, Mo., will arrive Thursday for several days' visit at the Chi Omega house.

Syracuse University will set a precedent next fall by maintaining a reserve football squad. The Athletic Governing Board recently took the step to form a reserve team that will take the place of the second and third teams of the school and will rank in form almost even with the first team.
P. D. Forgg, captain of the 1911 squad, will have complete charge of the coaching and they will be drilled and trained separately from the Varsity team. A different set of signals and plays will be used and as the opportunity presents itself they will be tried out against the first team. A special insignia will be given the reserves who play during the entire season. As the Reserves increase in

This will be the first year in which such an arrangement has been tried, but Coach Fogg believes it almost a necessity in accordance with the new rules. A heavy schedule has been laid out and the school will be forced to have an extra large squad who will be able to play first team work.

CIRCUS DATE SET FORWARD ONE DAY
Change is the Result of the Advancing of Easter Holiday
"MUSIC,HATH CHARMS"
BELIEVE CIRCUS MEN
The date of the Circus Maxims has been changed.
Due to the fact that the University has seen fit to change the date of the Easter vacation, Mr. Root, director of the circus has decided that the date of the circus must be advanced a day also. This will make Tuenday April 2 "Circus Day."
APRIL 16-17
It was thought best to change the date of the circus as the students would all be journeying homeward on Wednesday evening, the date formerly set for the circus.
The Most Fickle Music Lovers Will Be Satisfied on April 3
Music lovers of all kinds will have a chance to satisfy their various tastes at the indoor circus, April 3. There will be band music, cencert music, vocal music and that good old "circus special," "hobo and clown music."
The University band will be on deck during the entire program of the big show and pieces both ragtime and classical will be rendered between acts. And, of course, the hobo bands will have to get in their share of ear-splitting, discordant notes, which like red lemonade and peanuts help make every circus complete. The grand march will be led around the ring by the University band and from that time till the closing of the grand concert there will be one continuous blare of trumpets and umd-tapes of tubas.
At the end of the big show the grand concert will take place and here those desiring the more soft, soothing tones of the stringed instruments and trained voices may be satisfied. The Lawrence concert company will be represented by three of its best members. Laurence Morris, DeWitt Mickey and J. F. Lawrence will furnish part of the program in the after show.
The old darky and minstrel songs, interspersed with selections by the University quartet, will help relieve any strain might be felt by any of the assembly.
In fact, the music department of the first indoor circus is going to do itself proud, and stands willing to present almost any kind of music that has ever been heard in any of the "largest shows on earth."
The Graduate Club held a social meeting last Friday night at Westminster hall. The evening was a very enjoyable one and was well attended.
YALES ACTION POINTS TO
THE PASSING OF W. CAMI
Committee on Athletics Reports in Favor of Superceding Athletic Adviser With Managers
The doing away with the place of athletic adviser, now held by Walter Camp, is recommended in the report of a committee appointed to consider a revision of Yale's athletic control. The committee recommends that the four major sports—football, baseball, crew and track—be under the direction of an advisory board, consisting of the managers of these four branches of sport and a graduate and another undergraduate.
The position of athletic advise has been held by Mr. Camp for a long time. It is believed that he will be held as an honorary member of the new committee. The change when the report is ratified comes about through the desire of the Sheffield Scientific School for recognition in the management of the major sports.
In an interview tonight, Walter Camp comes out in defence of the hammer throw in intercollegiate games. There has been a sentiment which would cut out this sport from the athletic program of the future on the ground that the sport is dangerous and not attractive. Mr. Camp says that it requires much development and coaching to turn out a successful hammer thrower, and he believes that the event should be kept alive, saying the argument for it outnumber those against it.
CORNELL CREW ON THE WATER
First Varsity Combination Same as Last Year's Champions.
The Cornell nursery crew went on the water Thursday the 21, for the first time this year, the date being the latest in several years. The use of dynamite in Cayuga Lake Inlet Channel to clear a way for the barge canal terminal operations has caused the ice to flow out into the lake. Courtney's first varsity combination is exactly the same as the one that rowed at Poughkeepsie last year, not a man being lost by graduation or other reasons.

MRS. WILSON PLEASES
East Concert of Winter Season Heard by Five Hundred People.
Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson gave a concert last night in Fraser hall, that greatly pleased the crowd of five hundred Lawrence music lovers that heard her.
The full program as announced in the Daily Kansan yesterday was rendered, and at the end of the concert, as an encore, Mrs. Wilson sang "A Perfect Day," by Carrie Jacob Bond. This song was the most appreciated by the listeners.
This concert was the last number of the winter course.

N. G. SIGN HUNG ON OLD SUPERSTITION
Weather Reports Show Tha Storms Give Traditions the Go-by
There is at present a belief by many people that the weather at the time of the equinoxial storms determines in a general way the weather for the following three months. April should be on March 10, and May March 20, and June to March 21st.
This superstition has been completely refued by the facts in the past three years.
There is scarcely one incident in the reports, furnished by Professor Cady of the chemistry department, which will verify the theory:
March 19, warm and cloudy
April, cold and wet.
March 20. warm and cloudy—Mar cold and very wet.
March 21, cold and cloudy—June cold and wet.
1910.
March 19, warm and clear—April
warm and drv.
March 20, warm and clear—May cold and very wet.
March 21, warm and clear—June cold and dry.
March 19, warm - April, cold and dry.
March 20, warm, warm, warm and dry.
March 21, warm—June, warm and dry.
EXTRACTS ARE WEAK
Prof. Jackson, Food Analyst, Condemns
Mara, Mahlbullled, Produces
The standard lemon extract contains five per cent of lemon oil. One of those analyzed by Professor Jackson had $5 \frac{1}{4} \%$ of the necessary oil but the label said "Highly Concentrated." According to the law, a highly concentrated extract must be more that $1 \frac{3}{4} \%$ above the standard. Another "highly concentrated" extract contained no lemon oil at all.

More mislabbed Products.
Prof. H. Louis Jackson, of the food analysis department, has just finished working on a number of extracts which have shown some very interesting results.
As a step toward abolishing the "crime of the boarding house" at the Cornell University the Ithaca board of health has published a list of reputable and sanitary boarding houses from which students will have a fighting chance to emerge better than helpless dyspeptics.
Vanilla extract has also been up before the analyst. Vanillin, coumarin and vanilla was claimed by the manufacturers, but the vanilla had disappeared. "Wholly artificial as well as misbranded and adulterated," is what Professor Jackson said of it. The vanilla extract, however, has one good feature—it had the conventional color that vanilla is supposed to have.

"GOLDEN SILENCE"
FOR SONS OF JANUS
Secretary Brown Enters Cru sade for Sign Language About Class Rooms
The jainists and all other employee of the University who in the course of their employment, and otherwise, have created noises more distracting to classes than the yelps of Susie and Jennie, K. U.'s educated pups, must hereafter cease to issue coordsion to an order sent by Secretary Brown to F. E. Crocker, superintendent of buildings and grounds.
Mr. Brown, in his order, says that several professors have sent in complaints about being disturbed by janitors talking and laughing in the hall, and are now in a fight. Most of the complains have come from the Administration Building.
Miss W. S. G. A. Take Notice.
Student government at Wellesley has developed to such an extent that the girls may cut classes with impunity in the student government association. The faculty think that the training given the girls by self-government is a important as any of their studies and will probably serve them to a better purpose after they are graduated.
The order remarks that the University of Kansas is primarily a teaching institution. Anything that interfees with this most important function, seriously hampers the University, therefore these noises must cease.
SIGMA CHIS OBJECT
Miss W. S. G. A. Take Notice.
So Another Subject Must Be Chosen for Inter-Fraternity Debate
Debate
The question, "Resolved that the High Schools of Kansas should be reorganized to extend over a period of sky years in order to provide an adequate vocational training and guidance," was turned down by the Sigma Chis the annual inter-fraternity debate, and mother will be chosen in the new future.
The new cup which has been presented by Charles Brook, an alumnus of the University, is to be kept for one year by the fraternity winning the debate, and the first to win it three times will keep the cup permanently.
Not a Sob-squad Incubator.
The following judges have been chosen for the debate, which will be May 8. Prof. H. C. Hill, Rev. N. S. Elderkin, and Mr. George Innes.
Co-eds will not be enrolled by the Pulitzer School of Journalism at Columbia University, according to the latest reports. This was done on the general theory that Columbia University is not co-educational. According to an agreement entered into twelve years ago most of the courses in Columbia are open to the students of Barnard and all degrees are conferred by Columbia. The girl students of Barnard are protesting against the decision.

DEFECTIVE CHILDREN
"Defective children" was the subject of the address of Prof. A.W. Trettien, professor of education, delivered before the Men's club of the First Presbyterian church of Kansas City last night after a banquet given by that club.
Professor Trettian has made extended observations and experiments in the field of defective and criminals..
The club members are much interested in the subject and wish that they could devote more time to the defectives of the city.
Success in Government Depends In How Well People Shoulder Burdens.
"The power of government rests in the people," said John A. Rush of Denver, a graduate of the University, speaking on the subject of "Municipal Problems and Public Life," in chapel yesterday afternoon.
"Get the people to take the municipal problems on their shoulders and then there will be no trouble in the solution of future problems."
"Municipal utilities," Mr. Rush pointed out, "should be operated by the public for the public good. The object of this University is to make you think for yourself, and thereby prove a benefit when going out into the world. People are imposed upon by public utility commissions and it is a duty you owe yourself to be able to bear those burdens upon your own shoulders."
Mr. Rush urged the college men and especially the young lawyers to investigate the problems themselves. "Do not," he said, "take your professional teachings as gospel but as wise advice. See to it that you have an opportunity to solve the problems and bear the burdens, and simplify the laws. The burdens then will be less and the responsibility will be fixed. It is your duty and obligation to do in return what your fathers and neighbors have done for you and you owe it to the future generations Mr. Rush holds three degrees from the University, A. B., 90, LL. B., '93, and M.A.'93.
K. U. D. C. VS. COOLEY
Law Debating Club Challenges The Representatives of The College.
When the Cooley Club meets the K. U. Debating Club in forensic combat, most momentous will be the debate that results. It will be a sort of an irresistible force--immovable body, affair.
The Cooley Club started it. They sent a challenge to the K. U. debaters last Friday, so a Conference committee consisting of Roy Davis and Clifford Sullivan for the followers of Cooley; and Frank Carson and Bob Fisher for the K. U. Cub, are trying to complete arrangements for the debate.
At a meeting yesterday they decided on April 19 as the probable date and will meet again tomorrow to decide on the question, and to complete minor matters.
New Buildings Increases Enrollment.
Three new university buildings have been completed at the University of Cincinnati, at a cost of five hundred thousand dollars. They include the finest Engineering College building and one of the world's only equipped small gymnasium in the middle-western college world. Due to the construction of these buildings, registration has increased fifteen per cent.
TWO OPPORTUNITIES OPEN
CONSULT KANSAS MAN
Prof. Hunter, Entomologist Helps Draft Anti-Plant-Disease Legislation
Memorial Scholarships Are Ready For Applicants.
"If the bill which was introduced in the House of Congress by Representative Simmonds of New York becomes a law, Kansas would be greatly benefited by the protection thereby secured," said Professor S. J. Hunter, of the department of entomology, today.
The bill provided for the regulation of inter-state and foreign commerce in order to prevent the spread of injurious insects and plant diseases throughout the United States. Professor Hunter has, at the request of the House Committee on Agriculture, twice gone to Washington and given his signature to the measure. At present the bill is held up in the house because the Representatives from Mississippi, Georgia and Massachusetts desire time to determine the extent of the power which it would vest in Secretary of Agriculture.
Two scholarships are open to the young women of this University, the Marecella Howland and the Lucinda Buchan Memorial scholarships.
Young women of the junior and senior classes of the College wishing to try for the Marcella Howland scholarship for the year 1912 and 1913 should hand in their application before May 1 to a committee composed of Professors Galoo, Hyde, and Oliver.
Senior and junior girls of the College wishing to try for the Lucinda Smith Buchan scholarship during the year 1912 and 1913 may apply to a committee composed of Mrs. F. H. Smithmeyer, Mrs. W. A. Griffith, and Miss H. Oliver. This scholarship is maintained by the alumnae of the Pi Beta Phi sorority.
GET THE BAD BUGS ON CAMPUS TREES
Students Hunting Down Injurious Insects for Good of the State
Eight students in Entomology working on scale insects, and the trees of the campus furnish an excellent supply of these small injurious enemies of tree life. When the scrutinizing student finds a group of scales, he cuts off the piece of bark to which they are attached places it in an envelope, on which is recorded the place, date and kind of tree on which the scale was found. The insect is then taken out of scale cover, bleached in caustic potash and mounted for study under the compound microscope.
This branch of entomology is economic, and aids the state in its fight to prevent scale diseases of trees and shrubbery.
The damage is done by the scale inserting its beak into the wood and causing it to die. Some damage has been done to the maple tree but not a great deal. The cherry scale has done much damage to the cherry tree. Some scales have been found in the green houses. The oleander and palms are damaged by the scale, and have to be watched carefully. Several varieties of scales are found on the citrus fruits, on the markets here, such oranges, lemons, and grape fruit.
Turn Over Chapter House to House Party During Vacation
SIG ALPHS WILL ENTERTAIN
Sigma Alpha Epsilon will entertain with a house party at their chapter house during Easter vacation. A series of entertainments, including dinner dances, theater and Lake View parties, will be given.

Among the out of town girls will be: Miss Martha Steele and Miss Ada Whitside of Hutchinson, and Miss Virginia Newcomb, of Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Filmore of Blue Rapids, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Dick of Hutchinson, and Mr. and Mrs. Merle Thorpe if Lawrence will chapeler.
SIXTH MONTHLY TEA
BY FACULTY LADIES
The Ladies of the Faculty will! give their sixth monthly tea for the young women of the University Thursday, from three to six, in the Latin room, 210 Fraser hall.
These teas have been given once a month for several years. The purpose of the Faculty Ladies is to come in closer touch with the girls and their interests.
Dean Green "at Home" This Evening "Uncle Jimmy" Green, dean of the Law School, will hold a reception for the members of the senior class at his house this evening. Every spring Dean and Mrs. Green entertain the senior laws with a reception at their homes, and the event has become one of the traditions of the school that is looked forward to by the members of the outgoing class with as much anticipation as is the annual "Uncle Jimmy Day banquet."
THE TAILOR AND TWO COPS GET AFTER HIM
But, For a Chance to Be a a Gentleman,the Trade man Relents
GOVERNESS IS A SPIRITUALIST
That Wierd Faith is Mixed With Love in the German Play Tomorrow Night.
"Der Bibliothekar," the German play to be staged tomorrow night in the Bowersock theater abounds in fast comedy and short speeches that can easily be understood.
The play opens in London. Lothair Macdonald has just received a letter from his uncle informing him of his coming visit. The uncle has a queer idea that every man who sow his wild oats in his youth. Lothair has been unsuccessful in this, except in signing a note for his friend, Harry. To escape' payment to Gibson, a tailor, who holds the note when it becomes due, the two young men go to the country place of Harry's uncle, Marsland, where a hunt is to be given.
Marlsland has engaged a new private secretary, Robert, whom Harry is to bring with him from London. Instead, Harry substitutes Lothair. He leaves Robert in Lothair's lodging place, where he is found by Lothair's uncle on his arrival. The uncle, misstaking him for his nephew, leaves him in disgust and goes to Marsland's country home.
Sarah, the governess of Edith and her friend, Eva, at Marland's, is a spiritualist, and asks Lothair to secure a medium for her. Roberts, the real Bibliothekar, now arrives and is taken for the medium. Macdonald upon again meeting Robert still believes him to be his nephew and attempts to get him out of the way.
To complicate affairs, Gibson also arrives from London with two policemen to collect the note, but promises not to cause trouble if the boys take him to the hunt as a gentleman friend. The many complications are finally straightened out by Lothair ceasing to pose as the Bibliothek, and the real Bibliothekar proving that he is not a medium. The end is happy for Lothair who has fallen in love with Edith, and for Harry, who love with Edith, and for Harry, who loves Eva.
MEDICAL: COUNCIL O. K'S
SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
The Kansan learned through a communication to Chancellor Strong at Rosedale that the Medical Council made a thorough investigation of the medical school and its work, and found everything in good condition. Several changes on the curriculum, were dislays and the number of points concerning them still remain to be decided, and they will later be announced definitely.
Chancellor Strong will return from losedale this evening.
WHAT OF THE KIRMESS?
High Kirmessians Refuse to Divulge Their Intention, But Promise Much.
"We haven't made any definite plans yet," was the only answer a Kansas reporter could get after a personal interview with each of the several dignitaries of the committee in charge of the Kirmess, yesterday. And it is only one month and four days until the biggest gala day of the season.
Although surrounded by this air of mystery from the mystic little whispers heard about the Gym of Dutch costumes, Irish jigs, Highland fling Swedish polka Ace of Diamonds and Hamilton's "Mordkins," the KIRKLING tradition is to be the best thing of its kind to the University has ever seen.
About 300 girls in the gymnasium classes are training on the dances three times a week now and the instructors are selecting the teams for the different dances and special features of the occasion.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
HALF BAKED KNOWLEDGE
One member of the Washington press has made the statement that half baked knowledge in our colleges is driving business men crazy and that professors should abandon their books for the proper study of man which is mankind.
A member of the faculty of the School of Law has just succeeded in proving that the Washington man's argument cannot hold water. In the case of The State of Kansas vs. The School Board of Lawrence, a University professor entered court against a practicing lawyer, the state attorney, and against a former member of one of his classes. And there he showed the former that he was fully capable of making a practical application of what he teaches, and he showed both that he could give them a quiz that required their best efforts to "pass."
He won his case.
If the chemical engineers who will make a five day inspection trip to the various chemical industries in the vicinities of Kansas City and St Louis, bring back a few new smells not contained in the chemistry building, their trip may be considered highly successful.
ENGINEERS' ESPRIT DE CORPS The committee in charge of the Engineers' Day has at last given up in favor of lingering winter and postponed their function for one month. The engineers have not suffered inconvenience alone, for the late wintry weather has interfered with many other University activities—chief being baseball. However, the university may be sure that, in the end, such a delay in the engineers' big day will make for a more complete and better program than could have been given on the earlier date.
The esprit de corps that is characteristic of the organization of the engineering students, the pride that the several departments have in their school and its accomplishments are influences that will make for as complete a function as it may be possible to give. The engineers are to be commended for their union among themselves. It is the sort of binding influence that gets things done, that gives added interest in the work individuals are doing and that lends a spirit of loyalty to the University.
"All this scientific talk about how to eat candy may be all right," remarked Uncle Nickelous Sulifde, "it may be all right to nibble a box of bon bons for a month with proper irrigation. But, for real fun, that can't compare with the days when mother used to make taffy over the kitchen stove and you'd stand around in the way while she buttered the plates and take turns with your brother in eating the trial tests, when she'd drop a spoonful in a cup of cold water to see if it was done cooking; when it was pulled till white and cut off in little hunks with
the scissors and you'd scramble for the pieces that flew on the floor; when everyone ate till it was either put on a high shelf in the cupboard or was all gone, and there usually was a fight for the last piece.
Word is given out by the ruler of the spring fashions that Easter bonnets will be high. Much of the braid that is used in making straw hats is furnished by China, but since in the past year the Chinese have been so busy upbraiding the Manchus, they have not had time to braid the straw.
A HOT SHOT
That which might be called a radical attitude toward the educators of the country is found in the following editorial from the Washington Post:
When the average man labels himself a scientist, it is safe to wager that he is out of touch with real life and a stranger to genuine human emotions. There is something cold and forbidding about the arctic layer of atmosphere surrounding these bulging-brown gentry which keeps them from warming by contact with the experiences of their fellow creatures.
Prof. Walter Dill Scott, of the Northwestern University, is the latest example. He arises to remark that cold feet are caused by displeasure, but not because of fear. One is displaced, the blood leaves the feet and causes one to lose courage."
The good professor should hasten to get his logic on straight. It is perfectly true that when the blood leaves the feet one loses courage, but we cannot subscribe to the theory that it is displeasure which causes this. Quite the contrary. Nor has the professor carried his investigations far enough. Cold Fear stimulate the memory to a rememable degree. A man who has been struck by lightning with nothing on his mind but stalking, and full houses, and one-card draws suddenly becomes aware that his tooties have been frost-bitten, and instantly he is a changed man. His intellect begins to work.
He remembers that he promised wife that he would be home without fail on the quarter-to-two car. When he has been laughed out of this flash of recollection, his indomitable memory crowds to the front in spite of him, and he remembers that he simply must heat the baby's bottle of milk, put out a wind the clock, and at the office an hour earlier than usual in the morning.
Half-baked knowledge in our colleges is driving business men crazy and filling all the best jobs with chaps who have had to work for a living since they left the second grade. The professors should abandon their books and devote a little time to proper study of man, which is mankind.
JUST LIKE A LEGISLATURE
The late Kansas legislature thought it was making an appropriation of $25,000 to establish a mining school at Weir City as a branch of the state University. It appears now that the law says that the state is to maintain a separate college at Weir City, with a full collegiate course.
The $25,000 appropriated is to be paid in two installments of $12,500 each. The entire amount would not make a beginning for the establishment of such a school as the law says the state shall maintain.
Weir City is in the heart of the coal mining district in Kansas, and the mining school was intended as a trade school for the purpose of teaching the young men of that vicinity how to mine coal. But under the law as drawn by the legislature the boys would be compelled to have a high school education before they could enter the mining college. The law contemplated a preparatory school in connection with the study of mining.
It is to be hoped that in some way the waste of $25,000 of the people's money can be avoided, and that the genuine trade school, proposed and needed, will be established by the next legislature—Kansas City Star.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
I happened that a fisher, after fishing all day, caught only a little fish. Pray, let me go, master," said the fish, "am much too small for eating just now. You put me hack into the river I shall. When you can make a fine meal off me."
"May, may, my little Fish," said the
child. "Maybe you now. I may not
catch you hereafter."
A little thing in hand is worth more than a greater thing in prospect.
THAN A SER- PENT'S TOOTH
By Sol H. Lewis
Margaret opened and closed the chapter house all afternoon.
It was a busy post. Every few minutes, the bell would sing above the bustle and Margaret would wug the great door back and dimple at the cloaked visitor.
Then Margaret's deep blue eyes would leap along with the guest as she bowed past the receiving line, moved tortuously to the tea room in the rear, and finally wound back to a seat in the parlor. The house mother, primly pouring; the girls, darting trays about nervously; and the women, talking almost too pleasantly—all were new to Margaret. For this reception to the mothers was her first formal affair, and many things about it puzzled her. The girls did not kiss their mothers on meeting, but simply clasped hands coldly. She wondered why the company did not take off their hats and coats; they only stayed for a few minutes, too.
At her own upstate home, where visitors brought their sewing and talked all afternoon, customs were very different she remembered. What a gasp there would be if Mrs. Blaine, who sat among the gay cushions as stiff and chill and white as a marble Corinthian column, should sweep into the little sitting room! Or if old Mrs. Watkins, who always talked about diseases, should flaunt her worn Astrakan cape into the polished atmosphere of the city parlor!
"You must come and visit me some time," Mrs. Blaine was saying from under her cold plumes, "and when others come, you must bring her, too."
Somebody was going, and Margaret awoke to her duty.
Her mother! Margaret had never thought of having her mother down so soon. But it would be splendid, she decided, for she could meet the girls, and there were so many things that Margaret wanted to tell her.
"It was a little different from the parties at home," she explained. "The people are different. Imagine old Mrs. Watkins telling what she did for her Tom when he had the mumps to all the rich ladies that were here this afternoon—"
That night she started a letter, and with a stroke demanded that her mother come at once. Then she told of the reception, of the guests, of the dresses, of the excitement.
Margaret's pen stumbled and stopped. Her mother wasn't unlike Grandma Watkins. Her mother was as fat and her hair, too, was as gray. But it was a beautiful gray, Margaret recalled. She could never get clothes to fit her, though. What would the girls say to her? Margaret frowned doubly over the thought that they might laugh when her mother called her "Margerie."
All that autumn, she was hurried about in the whirlpool of college life; a whirlpool which edded and seethed and roared, and rested not at all. Dances, dinners, operas crowded one upon the other, glaring high lights against the drab classroom.
Perhaps she had better not ask her down for awhile yet. Besides she was going home over Thanksgiving and would see her then.
Slowly out of the fog of the future loomed the Christmas vacation, and in Margaree's house the girls planned to celebrate and party for some of the mothers.
So Margaret tore up the letter into little pieces.
"I was foolish before," she complained to herself, "for it was an injustice to the girls to suppose they would think less of mother because she didn't wear plumes. Of course, they'll be nice."
"Mother will be glad to come," Margaret had told them. And once more she seated herself to write, this time with her teeth pressing hard together.
And with one breath, she scratched and mailed the invitation. A week of civil war dragged slowly out for Margaret; a war in which the primal woman, with batteries of natural love for the mother, fought against the new Margaret with her troops of pride. Fanned by contradictory sources, the firing never stopped. The sight of a black dress overly stout would send Margaret flushed to her room, while a trim colored one would strike as powerful a blow. But each time, a gray-haired woman with a round face would smile at Margaret from behind a gold-circled glass and send her back strengthened
"Father disgraced us again last night," giggled a blonde midget. "We were out for dinner, and when we came back, there were three forks and two spoons left over."
and ashamed—strongened until the next attack.
In the gust of laughter that whipped around the room, Margaret alone was silent.
It was at the luncheon table that the last shot was fired.
"Mother might act just the same," she winced to herself. "I don't think she'd ever manage more than a single set right. And the girls—they would talk about it later—and they laugh-I couldn't bear that. I say couldn't! But it's too late now, for she'll be here tomorrow. A letter wouldn't reach her any more—unless—unless I telegraph—"
"I couldn't do that; it would frighten her," she determiner, recalling the country community where a tangerine envelope bears with it a tang of death.
The blonde girl was continuing—"And then Dad fished for the lemon in his finger bowl and ate it—the lemon—not the bowl."
Margaret gulped hard and left the happy room.
"Party postponed," she wired; "we must study during vacation. So sorry."
In a feverish attempt to conceal the self-revulsion which crept over her at night, she thrust herself into the merriment of the holidays with forced gayety. But in the dark, no shield spread before her.
"I am ashamed of my mother; I am ashamed of my mother," she would moan over and over, and throw herself back and forth trying to cool a fever face in the pillows. Again and again she promised repa-
"I'll give up college," she cried,
"and I'll go home. I'll withdraw from the sorority and I'll go home.
I can take charge of the house and let mother rest—I'll go home."
She a troubled sleep would senser her suddenly and harry her with grotesque visions. She would walk into a college ballroom and stand thinking for a time with the lights poucing down upon her, before she discovered that she was barefooted and wore the old blue gingham apron of her country days. With the crowd sneering about her, she would attempt to run and would discover that she could not move. By some peculiar swirl, her mind would leap off in another direction with results as disastrous.
Once Margaret dreamed that her mother had died. She found herself crying in the darkened front parlor, while upstairs, she knew the body was sheeted. Gradually, she remembered that she had been ashamed of her mother—her mother who could never kiss her again. And she awoke with a fear which pressed on her heart and cried joyously, "It's only a dream! It's only a dream!"
The rebirth of college at the opening of the year, freshet-like, swept away all her pledges and left only a few floating regrets. These, too, were carried off by the brisk eddy of the semester examinations, followed by the mystery of her initiation; and there was left little time to think in the burden of dates under which the spring calendar staggered. Just before noon on an April day, the blonde wisp of a girl danced into Margaret's room.
"There's a fat old lady with a red nose and the funniest hat down-stairs," she tittered. "She called you 'Maggie.' I took her in the hall and told her you'd be down."
"A fat old lady—with a red nose—and the funniest—hat—why, that’s mother," Margaret faltered to herself. "But she hadn't written. What would the girls say? She laughed when she told me—they'd all do that—yes, they'd all do that, and perhaps, they'll joke about it afterwards. I can't keep her waiting—I wonder how long she'll stay; maybe only between trains; that'll give her till four. And we can eat lunch at the restaurant—she won't know the difference. But I must hurry—the girls will be coming."
She snapped on a hat and scurried down the stairs.
"Mother," she said breathlessly, holding out her hand as she had seen the other girls do. In quick succession, she hurled a nervous volley of questions about the vist and the people at home, together with a poor lie about the lunch.
"I was just going to the cafe," Margaret explained. "Our cook is sick; and you must come with me"
down and you must come with me"
"Down a side street, they walked,
Margaret talking continuously and
pausing at times to cast furtive
glances up and down the streets.
A brace of men she knew passed, and
"I'm so happy that you finally came, mother," she said. "I wish, though, you had come when I had more time and you could stay longer. We're having exams now—and then with the cook ill, the house is all broken up. You didn't intend to stay over night, did you, mother?"
"Why-er—no, Maggie," was the slow answer. "It was just to shop a bit that I came and to see you for a few minutes. Your pa expects me home tonight."
On the train that went north that day, a gray-haired woman rode with an empty heart. Down a very red nose, a tear moved from wet eyes, which were deep blue. For she had meant to stay a week.
They spent the afternoon together
and separated with a kiss at the depot at four.
In the sorority house, the girls were circleing the dinner table when Margaret entered.
"Well, Maggie, who was your fat friend?" a mass of yellow hair shouted.
Margaret colored.
"Why, she—she—was my old nurse," said Margaret.

"Let's see, you're away from Lawrence now?" inquired one man of another, the other day.
"Not entirely," was the reply, "Nobody who has been in Lawrence ever quite gets away from the town, you know. It is a place that one does not grow indifferent to through the intervention of mere miles or years. There's something fascinating about it—the long stretches of unbroken lawns bordering deepshaded streets, the clean, wide pavements and walks, the atmosphere of health and cheer. All this, along with the spirited commercial activities that distinguish Lawrence citizens, go to make the ideal town for a home—the town that a man may leave if circumstances require, but may never forget."
The remarks of this man express the Lawrence feeling and spirit. It's a town well worth considering as a home, as a place for educating the family, or as a place for business investment. Let us hear from you. We will try to answer questions fully, promptly, and sincerely.

SUSPECTED HONEY
DID NOT HURT HIM
Prof. Jackson, Food Chemist Hasn't Much Faith in "Poison Squads"
Some time ago, several pounds of honey were sent in to the chemistry department by persons who had become sick upon eating it, to be analyzed. Prof. L. H. Jackson, who has charge of the chemistry of foods, took home a quantity of this honey and experimented with it by making a meal of this same honey with bread. No ill effects came of the experiment.
"This illustrated," said Professor Jackson, "that the same adulterant in foods does not have the same effect on any two people. Some people might be poisoned by coal tar dye, while others might grow fat on the same substance."
At some of the eastern universities, "poison squads" consisting of students who have volunteered themselves to be experimented with are maintained. They are given food, scientifically adulterated with preservatives prohibited by the federal pure food laws, and the results noted. Students on these squares are said to prefer this food which is furnished them free of charge by the state that then given them at some of the boarding clubs.
Professor Jackson states that a poison squad here in the University would be impracticable, on account of the lack of funds for carrying out the experiments, and the poor and varying results that would be obtained.

BASEBALL SEASON OPENS NEXT WEEK.
Missouri Games Will Be Played If the Wading Is Good.
Coach Sherwin refuses to let the weather interfere with the the Jayahawker's chances for winning the first base ball games of the season and the workouts he has been giving the men in the game are as stiff as is possible within doors.
In order that the diamond may be in as good condition as possible for the games with Missouri next Tuesday and Wednesday, the coach with a few of his aids went down to McCook field yesterday afternoon and shoved a foot or two of snow off of the base lines and out of the pitcher's box.
It will be impossible for either team to show up in its best form, however, for the diamond, with the snow off, will be soft and soggy. The games will probably be close, though the Kansas team expects to win both of them. The men have been working out hard for the last month and though they have missed the almost essential out-door training these last few days, they nevertheless learned a great deal about the game.
Coach Sherwin said yesterday, "I am especially anxious to see a good crowd out to the first games next Tuesday and Wednesday. The men have not yet got on their feet and it will take a little enthusiasm and interest among the students to give them the proper start. We have some excellent material to work with this year and the prospects for a successful season are exceedingly good, but we cannot expect to come out ahead unless the students give us their hearty support in all games. The men can play much better before a yelling thousand than they can before silent bleachers."
If the Missouri team starts on its trip there will be small possibility of post-ponement of the games no matter what the conditions of the field may be. If it is possible to wade or swim around the diamond the games will be played. If not the Kansas manager will dig down in his pocket an pay
will dig down in his pocket an pay the Tigers their guarantee just the same
NAISMITH'S GAME TOO ROUGH
Brown Follows Lead of Other Eastern Schools and Abolishes Basket Ball.
The Athletic Board of Brown University has voted to abolish basket ball as an authorized sport at the university.
This action is but another step in the crusade begun against basket ball. The game is much too rough for collegiate use and is being very generally abandoned by all the eastern universities.
Athletic Constitution Drafted The Men's Student Council met last night. The new athletic constitution was drafted and will be put into effect in the near future, after being ratified by the Board of Regents.

Captain French May No Play on Account of an Injured Ankle
In sharp contrast to the joyful news that the Woodbury brothers will enter in the track meet Friday night comes the report that Captain William French sustained a serious injury to his left ankle about a week and a half ago and will be greatly handicapped in the in the events in which he entered in the Woodbury race.
French strained his ankle while giving an exhibition of high jumping a week ago last Saturday and in the handicap meet last Monday night fell on it in such a way that he has been unable to work out since. Dr. Naismith has examined the ankle and says that special care will have to be taken of it if French wished to go into the meet Friday night.
French has been jumping about even with Nichelsen, Missouri's high jumper, but with the handicap of a bad ankle it is doubtful whether or not he will be able to keep up to his former record. The Jayhawker team can not afford to lose the points that French was counted with and would have expected happens the chances for a Kansas victory Friday night are small indeed.
JAY BOND MAY BE THE
NEXT WASHBURN COACH
Former Kanas Halfback May Fill Position Vacated by Driver in the Toneka College.
Jay Bond, coach of the Freshman football team this fall, has been called to Topeka to consult with the athletic authorities there. Since the recent resignation of Director Driver, the Washburnville player is now looking for successors and it is possible that Jay may be selected to fill the vacancy.
Bond made an enviable reputation as a football player while at K. U. and has been characterized as the best football head that has worn the Red and Blue in the past fifteen years. He was a great coach as a coach both at the University and in several of the smaller schools of the state.
WHAT'S THE USE OF HITTING?
Georgetown U. Made 10 Runs in One Inning - And Only One Hit.
Ten runs with only one hit were scored in the fifth innning today by the Georgetown University baseball team against Mount St. Joesph college, Baltimore. Georgetown went to bat with the score 9 to 0 in favor of the Baltimore team. The first batter made a home run, nine men were given bases on balls, and three men were hit by the pitcher. The bases were full with no one out and the visiting team in disgust quit the field, the final score being 10 to 9.

Palette Club Discuss Sir Joshua Reynolds at Meeting Yesterday
STUDY A MASTER PAINTER
The Palette Club of the University enjoyed a program of special interest yesterday afternoon. Each week one of the great painters is studied, this week Sir Joshua Reynolds was the one of special interest to the members of the club.
Reynolds was one of the great painters of the 18th century. His works number three thousand, and his chief pictures of note are those of Dr. Samuel Johnson and Oliver Goldsmith.
In response to roll call each of the members gave a description of one of his great paintings.

DANCE, BUT DON'T DANCE TOO MUCH
709 Mass. Street
Dr. Naismith Says This Form of Exercise Alone is Not Suitable
"The ideal American girl, besides being light and graceful, should have her chest and arms developed. Much of the benefits of dancing is acquired by simple, every-day walking. Therefore, we have dumb-bells, clubs, wands, volley ball and numerous other light exercises to develop the girls.
Are the girls of the University of Kansas over-developed physically, or are they under-developed? The opinion is being pretty generally circulated among the schools and colleges of the East that the modern college girl is too strong. Dr. Thomas D. Wood, director of the physical department of Columbia University, says that practically all gymnastics work requires a clear body and that out-door work and dancing will take its place. "We want more grace and less strength in our girls," said Dr. Wood.
"But gymnasiums for girls will not be eliminated. Gymnasiums are built for exercise in bad weather, and we shall always have them. Out-door exercise is the ideal kind, to be sure, but it is ridiculous to speak of any other than indoor work during the rainy and winter months."
In commenting on these assertions, Dr. James Naismith, physical director of the University says that the Kansas girls have the best system of exercise and athletics that it is possible to obtain “There is a tendency,” said Dr. Naismith, “to place too much value on the benefits of dancing. Dancing develops only the lower parts of the body. We have been criticised somewhat in the past when we talked too much stress on anesthetic exercise. Our aim is to produce health, grace, suppleness and skill in the girls. We have no work too heavy for them.
Dr. Naismith says that with tennis courts the girls athletic system here would be ideal. He has been trying for several years to secure a nest of boys in the gymnasium, but for lack of a suitable location, the University is without them now.
INQUISITIVE INQUIRIES
Wants to Know Why and Wherefore of White Box in Fowler Yard
"To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
"Some time ago there appeared on the front page of your paper a mysterious article referring to the little white lattice box which faces the chemistry building. I do not know yet what the box contains nor do I have the least idea what it is for.
"I have perused your columns eagerly since that time, in the vain hope that some light might be thrown upon the mystery. Is it fair for you to arouse any interest with a lot of guessing and then leave me to guess for myself?
"Of course if the matter must be kept secret, or if you do not know yourself, I am sorry that I have mentioned it.
"But—I want to know.

RADIUM IN ARKANSAS?
Professor Twenhofel Says Reports of Discovery May be Based on Fact.
According to reports from Rogers, Arkansas, radium has been found in large quantities in the Ozark mountains. Tests of the radio-active ore have been made by State Geologist Perdue of the University of Arkansas, and all the results tend to verify the assertions of the discoverer.
Scientists who have tested the Arkansas ore claim that much of it is worth $20,000 a pound.
When Prof. W. H. Twenhoof of the University was asked concerning the probabilities of radium being found in the Ozarks, he said, "I see no reason why radium should not be found in Arkansas, but the main question is whether it can be found in paying the utility bill in Kansas contains radium, as do also many other minerals, but the amount is too small to make it of commercial value."

COUNCIL OF DOCTORS MEETS AT ROSEDALE
Chancellor, Deans and Heads Of Departments Discuss School of Medicine
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 28, 1912.
MANY CASES FROM COUNTIES
Patients From All Over The State Cared For Free of Charge— School is Flourishing
Rosedale, March 27—The Medical council met in Dean Sudler's office Tuesday afternoon. Those present from Lawrence were Chancellor Strong, Dr. Dains, dr. McClung, Dean Sayre, Dr. Curran, Dean Crumbine, and Dr. Boughton.
Many important matters were considered regarding the policies of the school, and the hospital management. Some important announcements will doubtless be made when plans have been definitely formulated.
Chancellor Strong remained in Rosedale over Wednesday to consult with individuals of the faculty and student body of the Medical School, and to visit classes as well as the hospital departments in their daily work.
"I am especially enthusiastic about the condition of the Medical School and Hospital at Rosedale," said Chancellor Strong upon his return from the meeting of the Medical Council at Rosedale Monday. "The School is in much better condition than it has ever been, and for the first time, the staff is united. The work is well done, and there is plenty of it."
CHANCELLOR APPROVES
FREE STATE CASES INCREASE
Chancellor Strong stated that the new hospital already has more work than it ought to attend to. Over 300 cases have been treated at the hospital since it opened last October. An average of sixty cases enter the hospital each month.
The hospital is a present swamped with spinal meningitis cases, and it is a hard problem to care for them all.
The county cases are increasing rapidly since the completion of the new hospital. Seventy-three county cases representing thirty-eight counties throughout the state have been treated since October.
"The dispensary is developing in a surprising manner," continued Chancellor Strong. "There were more than 200 cases in February, and it will not be long until the number will reach 500 a month. The kind of clinics covers practically the entire realm of clinical diagnosis. There is a noticeably large number of obstetrical cases, which are usually hard to get for student clinics."
Next year's graduating class from six to ten in number, will be the smallest in the history of the school, it being the first to be affected by the two year College requirement. This year's class numbers fifteen.
MASQUERS APRIL 16-17
Date for "The Lottery Man" An nounced. Rehearsals Progressing Favorably.
The dates for the Masque club's production of "The Lottery Man" have been definitely set for April 16 and 17.
"The rehearsals for the play are progressing very favorably under the direction of Miss Mossler, and 'The Lottery Man' promises to be one of the best productions which the Masque club has ever given," said Harold Wilson, manager of the play, this morning'.
The scenes of the play are laid in New York in the winter time, and are very brilliant. The last scene shows the drawing room of "Foxy" Peyton, a millionaire newspaper man. The scenery is modern, but several pieces will be manufactured especially for the production.

"UNCLE JIMMY" WAS HOST TO HIS "BOYS" LAST NIGHT
Gave His Thirthieth Annual Reception To The Senior Laws at His
The reception given last evening by "Uncle Jimmy" Green, dean of the School of Law, was attended by every member of the senior law class. This is the thirtieth reception that the lawyer has given for the outgoing senior class.
The evening was spent in playing
enough of the same songs at
times. Light refreshments were served.
Besides the senior law class there were present: Professor and Mrs. W. E. Higgins, Professor and Mrs. W. L. Burdick, Professor and Mrs. H. W. Burdick, Professor Hon. M. H. Miss Bess Stevens, and Miss Ethel Morrow.
NO Y. M. C. A. TONIGHT
Ex-Mayor Beardsey is Again Dedained in Kansas City.
ONLY FIVE DAYS TO GET IN SUPPLEMENT
The regular Thursday evening meeting of the Y. M. C. A. has been cancelled on account of the impossibility of ex-mayor Beardside to come. Mr. Stockwell was in Kansas City yesterday afternoon but was unable to secure a speaker.
List Closes April First----Over Two Hundred Names
Are in
Great interest is being shown in the Daily Kansan's effort to print a new list of all the students who have changed addresses or telephone numbers since the directory was published last fall by the University.
The directory editor has been kept busy for the last few days answering the telephone and opening letters containing the new addresses. The supplement will be printed April 1, and only five more days remain in which those who wish their names published in this list may hand them in to the directory editor. This may be done either by letter, telephone, or by calling at the Daily Kansan office.
About two hundred name and addresses have been received up to the present time.
A number of students seem to prefer that their whereabouts remain a secret, however, and do not want their names published, so that their abiding place will be protected. I expected that the list will reach the three hundred mark before noon of April 1.
SUPREME JUSTICE OF LAW FRAT VISITS HERE
Mr. Carmody Is Surprised at the Size of Our School—Says Easterners Underrate Us.
Mr. John Doyle Carmody, supreme justice of the Phil Alpha Delta law fraternity, is here from Washington, D.C., visiting the local chapter of the fraternity. Mr. Carmody is making an tour to Kansas City this afternoon.
He is greatly impressed with the University and found a larger school (i.e. at the University of Chicago).
"The people in the East," Mr. Carmody said, "still have a wrong idea of Kansas and do not realize that our university and University the people have out here."
Mr.Carmody is a graduate of Georgetown University, and is a practicing attorney at Washington.
Pr of. H. W. Humble entertained at dinner this noon for Mr. Carmody.

TEN HIGH SCHOOLS WRITE FOR ATHLETES
Superintendents Want French Woodbury et al to Show Them How
IT'S NOVEL EXTENSION WORK
To Give Lectures on Physical Training and Exhibition of Form in Track and Final Events.
Ten high school superintendents have written W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics in the past two days, asked him that University athletes be sent to their schools for the purpose of giving exhibitions and lecturing on athletic subjects.
"Men will be sent to these schools and any others that ask for such lectures," said Manager Hamilton this morning. "The University appropriates do not allow us any funds for this purpose, but one or more of our best athletes will be sent to the cities which will agree to pay the actual expenses of the men. Dates will be arranged immediately after the Kansas-Missouri track meet Friday night."
Manager Hamilton has always realized the value of getting prominent athletes to lecture at the University and during the past year several exhibitions have been given here. The plan of sending University track men to Kansas high schools was not deemed practical until quite recently when arrangements between the School of Education and the department of athletics were completed. The matter was then announced and already ten requests have been made.
Among the athletes who will be sent out are: French, T. Woodbury, Patterson, Fairchilds, Don Davis, and Stuckey.
The high schools that have asked for lecturers are: Clay Center, Halstead, Winfield, Waterville, Mounton, Marysville, Minnesota, Mount Hope, McLouth, and Junction City. Several of the superintendents have intimated that there is an opening for a coach in their schools.
THE MIND OF A BRUTE
Question, "Can Animals Think'
Always Puzzles Psychologists
—Prof. Dockerer Explains.
Professor Dockeray commented when asked about it this morning, "no distinct line can be drawn between instinct and intelligence, because instincts are modified by learning. Animals do learn but this fact does not imply that they thing."
Do animals thinks?
"Perhaps."
If the Lawrence cat which the psychology department has, had never seen a dog, Professor Dockery thinks her first meeting with the three Kansas City dogs would have been more friendly. The fact that the little kitten bristled up when the three twins arrived showed that she had some previous unpleasant experience with dogs.
WE WILL KICK THE TIGER AROUN' AGAIN
Does inborn instinct prompt the cat to rise up, and fatten her tail, or must it learn that the dog is its enemy through experience?
University Hospital, Rosdale, March 28—D. L. Rowland, the owner of the College Book Store in Lawrence, is in a very serious condition. An operation for tumor was performed on him two days ago. Since then complications in and it is feared that he will not be able to withstand the added strain.

"Uncle Jimmy" to Kansas City to Aid Caudal Torsion
BIG MASS MEETING TOMORROW
Cheer Leader Dolde to Lead Chape Cheering—Sherwin, Putnam and Maybe French Will Speak.
Uncle Jimmy is going! And the band and the "fighting five hundred"and,—and when the team comes out on the track to "warm up" in Convention hall Friday night and Dolde rises to start, "what's the matter with the team?", the tiger may get an idea of what is coming.
Tomorrow in chapel, the meeting will be given over to the students, and Dolde will hand out some real live "dope," Coach Sherwin will speak, Putnam will speak, and it is rumored that Captain French may be induced to break silence. Uncle Jimmy will explain his "hunch," and this "hunch" it may be explained, has never failed yet. So rooters—come prepared to limber up your yelling apparatus and get in shape for the meet.
"The team is going to win. We expect every man worth $50 down at Convention hall Friday night to help us do it." So says Coach Hamilton
PLANNING STUDENTS' DAY
Men's Student Council And Various Class Societies Begin to Get Busy
The Men's Student Council has already begun to lay plans for "Students' Day," which will be held sometime near the first of May.
The plans so far formulated are somewhat similar to those of last year's. Speeches will be made by the incoming and outgoing presidents of the Men's and Women's Council, as well as addresses by the representatives of the different schools. These representatives are elected by the different schools from their student body.

Mr. Le Moine leaves for his home at Concordia to recuperate. He will not return to school for two weeks.
Among the communications are suggestions as to the use of the fund left by the sale of the alumni printing plant.
Albert Le Moine, secretary of the Men's Student Council, and a senior in the School of Medicine, who was taken to the Rosedead Hospital suffering from an attack of acute nephritis, has so far recovered as to be able to leave the hospital.

Col. Faye Chisham and Col. Rachel Coston thus lured the girls from far and near to the sorority rummage sale.
Miss Chisham won her title of Colonel by her splendid voice and good line of talk at the sale given last Saturday. Miss Coston, who has been studying under masters, will conduct her first lecture on this subject, who have heard her practice declare she will be one of the foremost auctioneers of the state.
Kappas and Thetas have waited for years, as have the Barnard girls, hoping that some kind millionaire would come along to build chapter houses, until at last they have decided "you only get what you work for." In the sororities there are hair-dressers, manicure girls, errand girls, and even book agents, all earning money for the house fund.
"We will sell almost anything we have at the sale," said one of the girls. "You see we want the house pretty badly."
Suits, party-bags, dresses, beauty pins, gloves, shoes, hair-pins, rain coats, hats, and everything to please the heart of a girl-even "A Regular Man." The piano, are to be great to grace the piano, are to be displayed at the sale.

POOR RICHARD SAYS
When the well is dry, they know the worth of water.
SOCIAL ORGANIZATION
That which is considered the greatest advantage a young person can derive from his college course is the association with fellow students, with young people of his own age having the same problems, the same interests as himself. In an article on clubs and social organizations at Harvard University that was published in one of the student papers there, the organization of such clubs and groups as throw men of the same tastes together was encouraged and the small per cent of club men in the university was depreciated.
This tendency may be deprecated perhaps in every student body in the United States. The number of students who leave their university or college with an aching heart, because they were denied some of the best pleasures that can come to the undergraduate, the association in club life with others, is too large at any educational institution. They are, as the Harvard man points out, not unworthy of membership in such organizations.
There are many opportunities for clubs here that are undeveloped. Of more than one hundred counties in the state of Kansas, few more than twenty counties in the state are represented with clubs at the University. Such clubs should have for their purpose more than the entertainment of the high school seniors at the Christmas holidays. Permanent organizations will give the students a chance to look after the interests of new students from the several counties, when they come to the University, and many more students will come here, when they know that a body of "old-timers" are waiting to help them make their start.
Entertainment for the members of the State Editorial Association is being planned by the departments of the University, when the newspaper men hold their meeting here. Wouldn't the Kansas editors be immensely pleased if the "curator" of the Physics Clock would place the inner workings of that wonderful time piece upon exhibition? Some of the overworked editors might then be able to get a chance to take a "short course" in how to "solder on the job" and "get away with it."
TWIST THE TIGER'S TAIL
Those who will accompany the Kansas track team to Convention hall in Kansas City tomorrow night to see the ninth annual indoor meet between the Tiger and the Jayhowker, will see teams composed, for the most part, of mediocre track athletes making every effort to win for their university.
Both teams are entering this meet, probably for the first time in the history of this athletic relation, without glorious predictions of victory coming from the training camps of the two squads. Kansas men realize that they will have to do more than the best shown in any of the try-outs
hold here this winter, in order to defeat the Tiger. Missouri men appreciate the fact that they have lost a number of their sure point winners, that Kansas is an unknown quantity and that they will have to give their all for a victory.
A gloom of long standing held in abeyance the hopes of Kansas track followers, until the recent announcement of the entry of the Woodbury brothers. However, this gloom was not the kind that was altogether discouraging, for it put the fight, the determination into men of ability, but men who are not exceptional athletes in their events, to show what they can do for their team. It is team work that will win the meet in Convention hall tomorrow night and the squad of men that works together the best will carry off the honors of the evening.
Every man that is counted upon Coach Hamilton's track team this year has won his place mainly by dint of hard, conscientious work, winning in the try-outs by only narrow margins and with prospects of defeating his Tiger opponent by a margin of even less dimension.
With this same spirit imbued in the Missouri men, one of the best indoor meets is promised by the coaches and trainers of the two teams that has ever been held at Kansas City. In a great measure, the chances of success for the Kansas team will be augmented by the support that it receives from the students who accompany the men to Kansas City. Arrangements have been made by the athletic management for the convenience of the rooters in returning to Lawrence immediately after the meet and a large representation of Jayhawkers should accompany Coach Hamilton's squad of fighting athletes to their meet with the Tiger.
THE INVENTOR OF THE COLLEGE YELL.
Is the man who invented the college
yell,—
Right here, good folks, in the padded cell.
A pittil sight, as you all can see,
And a delightful world before you.
He tears his hair with a Sis-boom-bal.
And rends the air with a Rah-rah-rah.
And mumbles and jumbles and screams
and cries —
See his swelling throat and his blood shot eyes.
All day he yells, and at night he howls,
And up from his neck comes fearful growls,
As though he remembers the campus where
The din of the yelling filled the air.
He grips at you with a pancake.
And thinks you're a brother of Pi Chi Si.
He makes a sign that the fellows know And waits to see if it’s really so;
Then he thinks it is, and his great lungs swell.
With a rush of air and an old time yell,
And his cheeks puff out and his mouth
swings wide,
But you need not run from the frightful noise.
And a rush of sound from the far inside Of his mighty chest, strikes on the air, And your heart beats fast with a dread-
And your heart beats fast with a dreadful fear;

Our ball players are practicing daily. More work should be done in batting however, as this is almost entirely neglected except on Fridays and Saturdays.
Arrangements have been made with Graebler for the use of his two rowing shells every afternoon until commencement. We can expect to have an interesting race by that time.

STUDENT OPINION
WORD FROM CLEVELAND
For some time your paper has been heckling and annoying the members of the Physics department with certain allusions, more or less veiled, concerning the activities of the time piece which adorns the Queen Anne section of the physics building. Your tactics, sir, are manifestly unfair, they tend to create a feeling of levity among the students whenever the physics department, the faculty thereof, or the clock,—unfortunately which takes its name from the physics building—is mentioned.
For the reason that the students of the University have, because of your untimely articles, connected with the physics department the misbehavior of the clock, the faculty of that department demands that there be an immediate and thorough investigation of the department and of the clock as well. To use a slang expression, the whole works should be looked into. We feel secure in our position. The department is in no way responsible for the actions of the time piece, and wishes the University world at large to understand this to be the fact.
Among those present were Murray G. Hill '04, now instructor in English in Adelbert College; Merle Sprenger '11, student at Western Reserve Medical College; George Richardson '11, in business with the White Automobile company and I, who am also a Western Reserve Medical student.
Let there be an end to the continual assaults, made on this department.
Let an investigation place the blame where it properly belongs. We court inquiry and demand fair treatment.
We may add that we have been re-
We may add that we have been retailed as counsel for the department
The alumni of the University living in Cleveland, Ohio, met Friday, March 15, at a dinner and theater party and I was asked to express to the Kansas and the paper and our hearty appreciation of the good it is now accomplishing.
With best wishes for the Daily Kansan and the staff.

It doesn't take a fresh air crank to find cause to kick about the way many of the buildings and rooms of the University are ventilated. Some professors seem to think that the way to heat the room is to heed them around in tight rooms stuffed with air that fairly sizzles like a green-house in July.
BETTER VENTILATION.
To the Daily Kansan;
Cleveland K. U. Alumni
P.C. CARSON.
The value of pure outdoor air is surely no longer to be questioned by intelligent people. A University ought to be among the foremost leaders in putting into practice the great art of breathing. — LET-US-BREATHE.
To the Daily Kansan;
Spooner library, it seems, is particularly at fault in the matter of ventilation this year. Some days— these fine balmy days, too—the library windows are kept closed all day, as tightly as if they were barriers against some awful poison in the out-door air, while others are kept open and over and over again by the pair of students there, who all the time are wondering why they grow so drewwy.
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
Reading is to the mind, what exercise is to the body. As by the one, health is preserved, strengthened, and invigorated. It is the health of the mind) is kept alive, cherished, and confirmed. But as exercise becomes tedious and painful, when you lose it, your health, so reading is apt to grow uneasy and burdensome when we apply ourselves to it for our improvement in virtue. For this reason, the virtue we engage in with reading must be like the health we get by hunting; as we engaged in an agreeable pursuit that draws us on with pleasure, and makes us happy with the fatnes that accompany it.
SPEECH OF THE WORLD
SIR RICHARD STEELE.
The English language contains about 600,000 words. But there are dead words, just as there are dead books in every library and dead men in every cemetery. Also there are words that are dying. All living languages are in a state of flux—words being born words obsolescent or dying and words obsolete or死. New-born words are called "bling." This is their infancy. Like children, measles, mumps and other life words make their calling good, cease to be "slang" and win for themselves a dictionary place.
Usage makes language, and terms used by classical authors themselves become classic. One-half of the 000-000 words in the English language might be dropped, and the average man speaking, reading and writing would be conscious of no loss. This large percentage of unfamiliar terms is made up of scientific or technical words never met outside of text-books and of archaic words that have lost their vitality or outlived their usefulness.
As merchants from time to time unload their dead stock, making room upon their shelves for fresh goods, it might be well for each language now to have a dead lumber. And there are dead lunges, Again, there are dead lunges, as well as words that are dead.
Of living tongues, count dialects as well, the number is 3,424—a veritable Babel of speech. America, the youngest of all lands, strange to say, leads the world in dialects, having no less than 1,624. Asia comes next with 937 dialects. Europe and Africa follow with 587 and 276 respectively.
150,000,000 SPEAK ENGLISH.
Of all spoken languages the world over, English is by far at present the most popular. The people who use it number 150,000,000. No speech approaches English in use or comes any other language. In the German, which is spoken by 129,000,000 people. The Portuguese is lowest in the scale, with but 30,000,000.
The Italian is used by 40,000,000, the Spanish by 55,000,000, the French by 60,000,000, and the Russian by 90,000,-000 human beings. In derivation the English tongue is chiefly indebted to the Teutonic family. Of 100,000 words taken at random 60,000 will be of Teutonic origin, and half that number from the Greek or Latin; while the remaining 10,000 will have come from miscellaneous sources, like the Arabic, Hebrew and Indian—COUHER JOURNAL.
TRAMPING ABROAD
I have made several trips through the European Continent. In Rome a room for 50 cents in day in hotels is as good as the dollar hotel here. I may say the same of Turin, Milan, Florence, Brussels, Ostend, etc. In Paris there are still cheaper ones in the Latin quarter. Restaurants are also very moderate in price, but Paris bents them all, both in price and quality. In the Grand Boulevards dinner of six courses with a battle of wine are served for 25 cents. The charges for third class passage depends on where you go; better visit offices of steamship companies. Bicycle rides are safe and economic. I wish the boys joy and good health—J. M. A. in New York Times.

"Let's see, you're away from Lawrence now?" inquired one man of another, the other day.
"Not entirely," was the reply, "Nobody who has been in Lawrence ever quite gets away from the town, you know. It is a place that one does not grow indifferent to through the intervention of mere miles or years. There's something fascinating about it—the long stretches of unbroken lawns bordering deep-shaded streets, the clean, wide pavements and walks, the atmosphere of health and cheer. All this, along with the spirited commercial activities that distinguish Lawrence citizens, go to make the ideal town for a home—the town that a man may leave if circumstances require, but may never forget."
The remarks of this man express the Lawrence feeling and spirit. It's a town well worth considering as a home, as a place for educating the family, or as a place for business investment. Let us hear from you. We will try to answer questions fully, promptly, and sincerely.

ENGLISH SOCIETY TO BE PERMANENT
Kansas Teachers of English Elect Officers and Appoint Committees.
A provisional organization of the English teachers of Kansas was formed at the University during the annual High School Conference, March 16, to unite in a single permanent organization the activities of the English section of the Conference and the English Round Table of the Kansas State Teachers' Association. Membership includes all English teachers of elementary schools, secondary schools, and colleges, and all supervisors of teaching in active service. The provisional membership fee is twenty-five cents, and members are entitled under certain conditions to a special rate on subscriptions to the English Journal, the regular price of which is two dollars for ten monthly numbers.
All the business done is subject to final ratification by the English Round Table of the State Teachers' Association which meets at Topaka, November 7, 1912. A constitution modeled upon that of the English Association of Indiana was adopted, subject to amendment, and the following officers were elected to serve until the time named: President, Prof. E. M. Hopkins, chairman of the RoundTable; vice president, Supt. L. A. Lowther of Emporia; secretary-treasurer, Miss Charlotte M. Leavitt of Washburn College; editor, Prof. J. W. Searson of the State Agricultural College; member of executive committee, Principal Jessie Mustard of Mankato. Two research committees of the Round Table were named as committees of the new Association; chairman of the high school committee, Miss Lela F. Douthart of Kansas City, Kansas; chairman of the elementary school committee, Supt. John H. Bender of Arkansas City.
On invitation of the National Council of Teachers of English, the Association voted to join the council and to make the official organ of the council, the English Journal, a medium for the publication of proceedings, important papers, and the results of investigation. At the request of the council, the high school committee chairman Miss Douthart, was named to cooperate with similar committees in other states in making inquiry of high school graduates as to the efficiency of their training in English. Other problems for investigation were then discussed, including standards of grading, comparative tests or oral and written composition, of class and individual teaching, of cooperation of other teachers with English teachers, and of the possibility and probable efficiency of departmental teaching in grade schools.

Scene of Sooner Game in Doubt St. Marys and Baker Changed Positions on Schedule
The Kansas University football schedule for 1912 is practically settled. Eight games will be played. The single problem that still remains for the season is whether the Kansas-Oklahoma game will be played here in Norman.
If the game is played here the Washburn contest will be in Topeka again this year. It is probable however that the Oklahoma game will go to the Sooner homestead as the annual affair has alternated regularly between the two schools since relations were first commenced.
ST. MARY'S MOVES TO FIRST PLACE.
ST. MARY'S MOVES TO FIRST PLACE.
The surprise that Baker sprang on the K. U. gladiators last fall, together with the apparent weakness of St. Mary's, has led to a change in the relative positions of these two schools on the University schedule. St. Mary's will open the schedule on October 5.
The Methodists will appear the following week.
SCHEDULE LIGHTER THAN MISSOURI'S
Drake and the Manhattan Aggies have also exchanged positions. The order of the remaining games on the schedule is the same as last year.
The trouble that threatened with Washburn was easily settled as the Topeka school felt that the Kansas game was more important than any other on the schedule and was glad to make the change that was necessary to secure a game with K. U.
The schedule this year, though it embraces the leading universities of the Missouri Valley and of the Kansas schools in this section conference, appears to be much lighter than that of the other big schools of this section. Missouri meets every team in the Missouri Valley Conference, while Nebraska plays Michigan, Minnesota, Ames, and Missouri, as well as Kansas.
These facts, coupled with the careful makeup of the Kansas bill of fare, make it appear that the Kansas team already has the advantage of condition in the coming season.
The biggest games of the season will be the Kansas-Nebraska and the Kansas-Missouri contests. The first of these battles will take place in Lincoln November 16. The annual struggle with the Tiger will be staged in Lawrence November 23 and will be the final game of the season.

KANSAS CITY, MO.
The Rules Committee Will Try to Abolish Block System and Adopt No-Contact! Style.
On account of the recent action taken by many of the Colleges of the East concerning the abolishing of basket-ball because of the rough style of playing in vogue a special meeting of the Rules Committee has been called to consider a change in the rules.
Dr. James Naisimith of this University, a member of the Rules Committee left last night for New York where the meeting will be held the early part of next week. Before leaving Dr. Naisimith said that the Committee would probably take some definite action as to whether basketball should be played as the no-contact or the blocking style of game. As many of the Eastern Colleges decided to drop basket-ball on the grounds that as it was then played it was nothing more than a prize fight it is probable that the Committee will rule that the officials henceforth make the teams observe the no-contact game.
By no-contact game is meant the style of playing observed by Kansas and the majority of the Missouri Valley teams during the past season. In the no-contact game a man is not allowed to rough his opponent by blocking and shouldering as is allowed in the system now in disfavor in the east. Nebraska uses the block system.
Dr. Naismith has been making inquiries since the close of the season as to the view in this matter taken by the schools in the Missouri Valley Conference concerning the style of game, to be played. With but few exceptions they desired that either the no-contact style be observed or basket-ball be abolished.
PROF. HOPKINS SPEAKS AT ANN ARBOR FRIDAY
Goes to Tell the Schoolmasters' Club About Work of Committee
Prof. E. M. Hopkins leaves the city this evening for Ann Arbor to deliver an address on Friday before the Michigan Schoolmasters' Club on "The Present Status of the Teacher of English."
This address will embody the results to date of two years' work of the Modern Language Association committee of which Professor Hopkins is chairman, and will outline work remaining to be done which will require perhaps another year for completion.
The committee is acting with the endorsement and support of two national organizations of teachers and the direct cooperation of school officers in every state. It has just printed 10,000 copies of its final questionnaire on the comparative cost of the teaching of English and other secondary school subjects, and the results should be ready for publication before the end of the present year. "The preliminary report of the committee on the present conditions of English teaching" is now in its ninth edition, and has reached a total of almost 15,000 copies.

This action was taken by the management of this University after seeing that it will almost be impossible for either team to show their real strength on a field which at present is nothing more than a lake. If this arrangement can be made it will probably better Kansas prospects. At present the varsity boys have had but two out door work outs.
Dr. J. N. Van der Vries, who recently left the University on account of his health, reports that he is gaining in weight and strength, and hopes to be able to be in good condition to re-enter the University next fall. Professor Van der Vries is still trying the open air treatment, and with Mrs. Van der Vries will remain in Texas until entirely well His address is Belen, Texas.

Chinese Baseball Team Wil Meet Sherwin's Squad
April 18
The students of the University of Kansas will have a chance to see a Chinese baseball team in action here on April 18th when the Ah Sings will try to make life miserable for the Sherwin hopeful.
The travelling Orientals represent the College of Hawai'i, of Honulu, Hawaiiian Islands. The men who compose the team are students in the Agricultural and Mechanical Arts departments of the College.
The Hawaiian team will arrive in the United States March 28. After a short rest they will begin their schedule with two games against the University of California team. After meeting the leading College teams on the Pacific slope the travellers will invade the east.
That the Chinese team is a real baseball machine is shown by the fact that they are the champions of the Islands and have defeated every team of any consequence in Hawaii. They have also taken the measure of the majority of army and navy teams they have met and have defeated several organizations of travelling players from the United States.

TRANSLATION OF LATIN POEM
And no Latin Poems Have Been Written by University Students For For a Long Time.
The Orophilian Review of October 13, 1876, written for a meeting of the Orophilian Literary Society of the University of Kansas, has recently come to light, says the Graduate Magazine. An early number was devoted to "tricks." Bits from some of the narratives follow:
SHADES OF P. V. MARO!
Then there was the most remarkable skeleton of the first commencement day, described by Professor Robinson in a Latin poem entitled, "Professor Fraser and the Skeleton." In translation it runs as follows:
"Wonderful prodigy! Never was anything heard of so strange! What was it? Did a pale ghost in the sollenight shake its hair polluted by blood! No—a more wonderful thing than this by far! No ghost, but the dry bones of a skeleton, (I shudder in relating it) going through the long halls and ascending, a lifeless monster, to the very highmost part of the roof. Then the atrocious spectre with a ghastly light leap down from its lofty position through a hole in the ceiling, presenting this inscription on his big toe "Prexy." That was all. The young men embraced their girls more closely, their eyes and minds transfixed with astonishment."
JAYHAWKER MANAGER REPORTS ON FINANCES
The blue necktie that fell to the floor with the skeleton was kept in the office for months in hopes that the owner would call for it and confess his guilt, but in vain.
Senior Committee Accepts Preliminary Statement--- Complete Report Later
At the meeting of the finance committee of the senior class last night, Clark Wallace, manager of the Jayhawker, handed in a financial statement showing the present condition of the Jayhawker exchequer.
The senior committee examined the accounts of the annual and accepted them.
Following is the report that was made:
Mr. Wallace explained that this preliminary statement could not be considered a comprehensive report of the finances of the book, since they were at present in a rather confused state. However, in a short time, another statement will be filed with the finance committee of the senior class, that will include all transactions of the business department.

First Play of the German Dramatic Club Was "Ein Gutes Ding."
STAGE FRIGHT WAS BANISHED
Miss Nowlin, Schaeffer, Bechtold and
Goldman Stars—Lines Readily Followed by First Year Students.
(By Grouchy Gilihan)
"Der Bibiothekar" was presented last night by the German Dramatic Club, before the largest audience that ever witnessed a German play at the University, and even the few Irishmen at the theater were satisfied.
From wincome Mabel Nowilin's vivacious and far too pretty landlady, clear thorough to Edmund Bechtold's picturesque "wirkliche Bildtheatear," the characters were rendered with a spirit and verve, which, although not in all cases supported by true talent, were entertaining in the highest. One of the notable features of the play was the use of the character of a naggaroo of the amateur, Old Man Stage Fright. If that deadliest foe of home talent was abroad last night it was only the hem of his garment that swept the stage of the new Bowersock.
A NEW IDEA FOR COPS.
Almost his victim however, was Officer Fairchilds. That valiant half-milfer appeared at first devoid of his copy vesture. This was embarrassing, but the brass and the braided fixed things, and in the later scenes the most hardened of evil-doers would have quailed before his beetle-browed austerity.
The other cop, Lawrence Meissner was more fortunate. He trod the floor of the stage with an imperious and awe inspiring tread worthy of New York's finest. His shining spectacles were a new novel part of a policeman's uniform as it is thought to be against the law to hit a man wearing glasses. "Specs" might be a useful adjunct to police armament.
FINE QUALITY OF MIRTH.
Paul Schaeffer played a mighty good part in the tailor, "Gibson." But in his first scene, it was too bad that he selected the only asbestos cigarette in the box, for his smoke. His ease and grace of movement were a little too polished for the uncoot tail of the car, but Schaeffer played well for Dr. Saeffer's personal habits of sobriety, and the effectiveness of the prohibition law in his home town.
Miss Nowlin's hearty laughter at the appearance of the comical "Bibliothaker" was contagious. It broke down as he excuscaled every person in the audience.
The object of 'her mirth, the simple innocent Bibliothkeo was no less deserving of recommendation from the Amturer-Actor Punton Board. He spoke slowly and unstintedly, and he stood by perhaps more German I and II students than those of any other part.
Allen Wilbur was "Lothair," was a little stiff and a bit too reserved for the part which was really a difficult one. His enunciation was perhaps too rapid, but clear, distinct and well inflected.
Miss Passon as "Eva" and Miss Beatrice Dalton as "Edith," the rogish "heroes," were good, but alas, those blinded footlights! Beyond them what nameless terrors! Miss Dalton, was rather rough with the stage property, but that added life and zest to the movie. Miss Passon was the shadow lady of the cinemetograph, she made that up in action.
O, THOSE EYES.
Mildred Manley like all actors of old lady parts in college shows, was far too youthfully beautiful. Her "Sarah the Spiritualist" completely demonstrated the superiority of mind over matter and put Eurasia Paladino far in the "shade." But she talked too fast, is not used to dispatching long trains, ought to faint a few times for practice.
Fred Speier was as good. His tribute to "Eve's" eyes, which, incidentally were those of Rebecca Passon, indicated a rounf of appliance brands in the city where he lived of embarrassment. His American accent made his speeches well understood.
SPIRITUALIST HAD GOOD CONTROL
Irene Garrett played well the part
FRESHMEN, BEWARE YE THE KALENDS OF APRIL
Spring is here. The insects are awakening and the spring fever germ is beginning to feel that he has a mission in life. The grass is turning green and the buds on the trees are swelling.
Spring is that gladsose time when the gentle and sighing seepyfans countless refreshing odors over all the land. The air about the campus is redolent with the smell of pine paddies, for spring is also that time when the lowly freshman gets out the little bebuttoned cap which was carefully
of "Jane," the maid and like all stage maids she was entrancing pretty. She ought to have been in the plot.
Homer Blincoe, tried hard to maintain the dignity of the English squire, "Marsand," as a result, he was too stiff. That is, merely too stiff. One of his works was amazing and妙册 and active. He had made his work, though, and seemed to enjoy it.
Ahe Goldman with his little gray chin feathers was a hit. In fact he was almost a swat. But he was too devoted to his big red cane and it became monotonous after a while. His expletives "Donnerwetter!" "Zum Henker!'" call for a special letter of commendation from the German Emperor. Once, however, when sitting down he forgot to part his coat tails. An old German citizen of Lawrence witnessed the play from the third row of the balcony. As he rose at the close of the play he was heard to remark, "Vell, dot vas a mighty fine ting, a mighty fine ting."
This is the kind of praise that is worth while, and there was lots of it last night at the New Bowersock.
STUDENT COUNCIL ACTS
Sophomore Engineer, Caugh Cribbing, is Suspended for Remainder of Year
At the meeting of the men's Student Council last week, it was voted to suspend a sophomore engineer for the remainder of the term. The student was caught cribbing in a recent examination.
The action has been ratified by the Board of Regents.
A Correction.
The Daily Kansan inadvertently misquoted Professor Dockery yesterday when it attributed to him the statement that "if... the cat had never seen a dog, its first meeting with a dog wolf have been more friendly." What Professor Dockery said is that "if the cat had never seen a dog, there would have been present at its first meeting with a dog an instinct of fear."
The Daily Kansan is striving first of all for accuracy and it is eager to correct any of the false impressions that are bound to creep into its columns.

AWS HEAP DEFEAT
ON ANCIENT ENEMY
The second law-engineer snow fight at chapel time this morning ended in what was conceded by all tacticians to be a complete victory for the laws.
Snowballing Laws Overwhelm Small but Valiant Band Of Engineers
put away last fall, and brushes out the dust of a long winter.
The battle started at eleven o'clock when Capt. James Daniels attacked the junior laws with a small force of Fowlerites. The plan of the engineers was to engage the junior laws in action with Daniels' men, but Daniels was taken by suddenly appearing on the scene with overwhelming reinforcements.
Like Blucher at Waterloo, the reserve forces detained in class did not appear. The junior laws achieving support from the 11:15 classes were able by a double flank movement to dislodge the engineers from the only base of supplies and the victory was won.
The belligerent soph is beginning to swagger, and the freshie imagines that he notices an increased interest in second year gym work. The freshmen see visions of coming stride and dream sad nightmares of last fall, when the paddle sang merrily through the air to the tune of the good old upper-class war chant which begins, "Get that cap! Get that cap!"
There is no longer any abyss; spring is here now, and the freshman cap is eponymous.

D. L. ROWLANDS DEAD
End Came to Proprietor of College Book Store at Rose-dale Yesterday
D. L. Rowlands, proprietor of the College book store died yesterday afternoon at four o'clock, following a serious operation at the University Hospital at Rosedale. Funeral services will be held from the Plymouth Congregational church of Lawrence at 3:30 p. m. Sunday.
Mr. Rowlands was born in Wales, He came to Lawrence from Emporia in 1899, and established a book store in the building now occupied by Moak's Billard hall, under the name of Rowlands & Bender. In 1901 he moved his stock of books to 819 Mass. St. Here the firm became Rowlands & Stevenson; the partnership lasted until 1906.
Then Mr. Rowlands established the College book store of which he was the proprietor when he died.
He is survived by a wife, two daughters, Arline a student and Gertrude an alumna of the University, who has lived with two sisters also live in Texas.
Mr. Rowlands was a Mason and an honorary member of the Acacia. The College book store will be continued with Robert Rowlands as proprietor.
The Weather.
Spring, the most welcome visitor at the University this year, arrived today and will make her the first headquarters permanently, according to F. W. Bruckmiller of the weather bureau. With Amy Chesnut in sunny days, the Meter twin, Baro and Therma, undoubtedly will lose caste as forefathers of weather changes.

A Real Bona Fide Representative Organization Announced This Morning
BUT SENIOR SOCIETY SAYS NAY
Refuses to Follow Their Sisters
Light and a Lively Tilt For Supremacy is Promised.
Some few days ago the Daily Kansan chickened the advent into University circles of a Senior Girls Society with a purpose and aim somewhat similar to the senior organization among the men. At the time of the announcement it was stated by certain of the University girls that this organization was not representative, that it smacked too much of sororities—and that another society that was representative would be announced soon.
This morning at the chapel exercises the names of the nine charter members of "The Torch" were read, and according to one of their members, membership comes absolutely through merit, and the long and intricate election and selection of members precludes any possibility of graft or "pull" being a dominant force in choosing those on the charter roll.
PROFS. CHOOSE TORCH-BEARERS
The manner of selection is thus wise: Prof. Hannah Oliver, Prof. Clara Newport, and Mrs. Esterly, secretary to Dean Templin, selected twelve girls from all the different groups in the University and asked each to submit the names of twenty senior girls whom they consider to be worthy of belonging to an honorary society.
From the list of two hundred and forty names submitted by the girls the committee chose fifteen whose names appeared most frequently, and sent them to a faculty committee of ten, five ladies and five men, with instructions to select nine who would be named as the original members of the society. Good scholarship is a requisite for membership.
TORCH CLAIMS TO BE PIONNER
Those selected by the committee are: Nell Martindale, Lucie March, Nell Dalton, Grace Wijkie, Helen Burdick, Mae Rossman, Gale Gossett, Beulah Murphy, and Isabel Thomes. The members of "The Torch" contend that their society was planned long before the Senior Girls Society announced their organization, and anyway they claim that the manner in which their members are chosen show quite plainly that they are really the representative girls. They even went so far as to intimate that the Senior Girls Society was a spurious affair, made wholly out of thin air and the wild conception of an ingenious reporter on the Daily Kansan.
However, an interview with a member of the Senior Girls Society this morning not only showed that this organization is alive and flourishing, but that they are going to have a meeting this very afternoon to consider some weighty problems that have arisen within the past week. And just to prove that the society is a real, bona fide affair, they announce two new pledges, Bertha Mix and Nelle Greenless.
ENGINEERS WILL DANCE
Informal Party in Gymnasium Friday Will Hear from Track Meet.
The engineers will give an informal party in the Gymnasium tonight at 8 o'clock. This party will not take the place of the one engineers' day. One hundred couples are expected to attend. Kates and Royer will furnish music and punch will be served during the evening.
Between dances lantern slides giving returns from the track meet at Kansas City will be thrown on a screen, together with cartoons and other views.
Miss Dorothy Kitchen of Kansas City, Mo., will be the guest of Francis Meservay at the Kappa house, over the week end.
TRACK FANS CHEER TALK OF VICTORY
Speeches in Chapel by Chancellor Strong, Prof. Putnam and Coach Sherwin
DOLDE FIGURES OUT A WIN
Says Kansas Team, Without Relay,
Will Win 43 to 42—And The
Band Played Boola
With an "Oh me, oh my," Chuck Dolde cheer leader, started one of the most enthusiastic track rallies this morning seen in chapel for some time. The spirit of the track enthusiast were raised to a high pitch when Chuck announced that he had doped out the meet and had figured that without the relay, Kansas would win forty-three to forty-two.
The band played "The Crimson and the Blue" followed by an enthusiastic Rock Chalk, and Prof. Geo E. Putnam was introduced to the assembly. Prof. Putnam said that Quantrell's raid had been avenged nearly every year since it happened by our football team, but that our track team had not been so lucky.
"A novel experience," said Prof. Putnam, "never to be seen again, will be bad by those who attend the meet tonight. They will see Kansas beat Missouri for the first time in Convention hall."
Coach Ralph W. Sherwin followed with a compliment to the track squad which has worked so faithfully for the last four months in the face of great additions. "They deserve your support," said Coach Sherwin, "and every man who can possibly do it ought to go to Kansas City tenight."
The Chancellor ended the rally with a few appropriate remarks, and the band played as the students filed out of the auditorium.
DEBATERS TALK ON DESPITE DARKNESS
Lights Go Out so K. U. Club Adjourns to Moonlit Campus
Like the Indian pow-wows in the years gone by, before the days of electric lights, before Universities and eleven o'clock closing rules, the K. U. Debating Society held a meeting last night out under the starry skies, with the moon as a lantern and the horizon as the walls of the council room.
Two debates were scheduled for last night and they were so hotly contested that by the time the last speaker had finished it was eleven o'clock and the lights were out. The Cooley Club had challenged the K. U. club to a debate and the matter must be discussed and debaters chosen, so the meeting were adjourned to the campus. Long were the arguments and fiery were the arguments before the club finally adjourned. Carson, Hobson, and Campbell were chosen to represent the society for the Cooley Club debate and the single tax will be the subject for
In the regular meeting, Steeper, Olney, and Hoyt convinced the judges that a revenue tariff would be beneficial to Kansas. Boman, Probst, and Houghton were the negative speakers. Roosevelt's plan for the recall of decisions relating to the constitutionality of state laws was turned down. Campbell, McClure, and Marks won for the negative while F. L. Soper, Hobson, and Matton talked for the measure.
Dykstra Spoke to Commerce Club Professor Dykstra spoke on "Individualism and the Municipality," before the Commerce Club at St Joseph, Missouri, Wednesday evening. The club has a membership of 2100.

CHANGELLOR UPHOLDS HIGH SCHOOL BOARD
Says Its Work Cleared up Befuddled Conditions in High School English
COLLEGES HAD TO START IT
No Uniformity in High School Curricu-
lum Until Universities Organez Courses.
The North Central Association of colleges and secondary schools at a recent meeting in Chicago started a revolt against what they call a domination of the nations, University "Trust" over the high schools of the country.
The Chicago Tribune prints almost an entire column about this revolt, in a recent issue. It seems from this story that the high schools are objecting to having their courses in English prescribed for them by the National Conference on uniform entrance requirements. They are also objecting to the Universities having a majority of one man over the representatives from the lower schools.
A WISE COURSE
"Several years ago," said Chancellor Strong when asked his opinion on the matter, "the courses in English in the high schools were in a very befuddled condition, and had no uniformity whatever. The board of English Requirements was then created so that the high schools could have uniformity in their English courses. It was certainly a wise course at that time, and it was necessary for the colleges to take the initiative in this matter. They are responsible for the great development of the English work in the high schools.
"This is not a matter of design on the part of the colleges, but a a continuation of an organization formed years ago when it was a necessity and it should remain until we have something better to take its place. I really do not think that all high

schools should be compelled to take the same courses in English however, and if they are now ready and capable to take this matter into their own hands, I doubt if the universities in general would object.
HIGH SCHOOLS ARE CAPABLE "It seems that this association is also objecting to Colleges having the control of this board," continued the Chancellor. "At present it consists of ten college professors, five prepatory school men, three from the public high schools, and one high school inspector. The Universities have a majority of one man. Personally, I would just as soon see the majority on the other side, for I feel that high schools are capable of taking the power, but it would be just as unfair for this committee to force upon colleges standards of work which they regard as insufficient, as for colleges to force on high schools courses which the high schools considers unadapted to their work"

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
AGAIN THE HOPEFUL JOURNEY TO THE CITY
As for the Past Seven Years Kansas Has a Fighting Chance
MISSOURI STRENGTH UNKNOWN
The Performance of Untried Athletes Will Decide The Result of The Meet.
The meet between the Tiger and Jayhawker team tracks tonight in Kansas City promises to be the hardest fought in years. It is impossible to make a dope sheet that will be more than a wild guess as to the result and for this reason each event scheduled will hold special interest to the rooters.
Kansas track followers have returned from Convention hall credited with the short end of the count for each of the past seven years. But hope rises eternal. Every year they go to Kansas City with an air of almost forlorn hopes, that this may be the time to win. Such persistence as this will surely be rewarded, some time. It may be tonight.
KANSAS' EARLY PROSPECTS GLOOMY
Never did a track season open so inuspiciously as did the present. Osborne, Schwab, Ammons, and the Woodbury, to say nothing of the men who had been lost by graduation, did not appear.
Then began a period of hard work to develop new material to fill the vacant places. Many good men turned out and the team began to look as though it might pick up a point or two, occasionally.
From that time on, the climax coming with the Woodbury return, the hopes of the Kansas track boosted, but he been climbing higher and higher.
The more optimistic hope for vice-

QUALITY OF TEAMS UNKNOWN
The meet tonight will be a meeting of unknowns in many events, and on these events hang the hopes of Kansas. Missouri has lost several of her most reliable point winners, notably in the distances. In these events Coach Jones has developed new men who will attempt to fill the places vacated by Steele and Johnston. But can this be done? The experience of years says that it can. The Kansas fighting spirit says it cannot.
NO CLEAN ATHLETES?
Track Men Ordered Not to Bathe for Three Long Days
Days
Coach Hamilton has issued an edict to the track men and the general import of the order is that indiscriminate bathing preceding any track meet is strictly tabooed.
The coach well knows the merits and good qualities of a refreshing bath after a hard workout in the gym, but his two months course in the School of Medicine preceding his undertaking the athletic management, taught him that showers and tub baths are enervating.
Therefore the coach so orders that all men desist from jumping under the showers for at least three days before any meet and that they should be given aqueous desires by a simple little sponge bath followed by a vigorous owel rub.
Mayhap the bathing propenities of the Jayhawkers in former years have been the cause of successive track defeats and the embargo on bath tubs may mean the ruination of Missouri this year.
Who knows?
REDS AND BLUES AGAIN
Girls' Basket Ball Teams Play the Second Game of the
Series
The second basket-ball game between the Red and the Blue girls' teams will be played this afternoon on the courts in Robinson gymnasium. The teams are picked from the two organizations into which the Women's Athletic Association has divided itself. The Reds have about forty-two members in comparison with the twenty-six on the Blues' side. The last game, played about two weeks ago, came out in favor of the Crimson team, but the Blues have been putting in some real "varsity team" practice since then and promise an exciting and close game this afternoon.

MYSTERIES OF CIRCUS MAXIMUS DISCLOSED
Hand Bills Tell of Hair Raising and Mirth Provoking
Acts.
FOREIGN ARTISTS AND ACROBATS
The "Greatest Show on Earth" Will Have an Excellent Representation in all Circus Departments.
The circus hand-ball is out with its the secrets of the great Circus Maxiums that will be given in Robinson gymnasium, Tuesday night April 2, for the benefit of the Women's Dormitory fund. It appeared early this morning in the form of green, yellow and blue robes and a program that will be put on for the benefit of the fun loving, death defying spirit of the students and faculty.
Such a wonderful conglomeration of tight wire artists, aerial performers and mirth provokers have never before been united under one roof and the variety of acts that is being offered by the management is large enough to accommodate the varied tastes of both co-eds and professors. Every act will be a feature act and will consist, according to the bill, of "a magnificent collection of worldly wonders, combined with a complete comprehensive collection of curious creatures and congress of living wonders."
Signor A. McCain's great band of forty pieces heads the list and will furnish the crowd with amusement while they are being seated. The seats will be arranged around the second floor of the gymnasium and on the running track and it is expected that it will be necessary to use every available space The big performances will take place in the two rings and stage that will be erected in the center of the floor. As soon as the big auditorium is filled there will follow in quick succession the arobatic, contortionist, slack wire, tumbling and bun punching acts, with side issues, fast and frantic, by Rofn's own collection of clowns. The four Leonards, "extraordinary exponents of equilibrium," will put on some breath taking, hair raising stumps that should make even the most reckless sit back and hold tight to the seat.
The grand after concert, featuring the highest prized acts in vaudaleure, will be a fitting finale to the program. In this will be seen the Lawrence concert company, the White City Four, Signor Alonzo Fuller and Herr Musselman, Charles Younggreen in a great American drama entitled," Copperhead the Warrior," with Rattlesnake Gulch," ending with the Dan Connaught's original production of minstrels as produced before the King of England.
Tags, which will be used as admission tickets to the entire show, will be sold Monday and Tuesday by the girls of the freshman class. Reserve seat tickets will also be on sale at the check stand Monday. General admission will be twenty-five cents; reserved seats thirty-five cents. The performance will commence at eight o'clock sharp Tuesday night.
