TIGER PICKS FEATHERS FROM JAYHAWK'S TAIL
Missourians Get Breaks, Punch
And Support and Win
Turkey Day Battle
Lewis and Travis are Stars
K. U. doesn't own the valley.
M. U. Quarter and Tackle Pave The Way to Victory With Fallen Kansans
K. U. doesn't own the valley.
This statement applies to football honors at least, for "Chuck Lewis," and "Brick Travis," individuals hailing from Kansas City and Tarkio and playing on the Tiger eleven, were the first to win the national scene in which the final ownership of the "Valley" was settled upon the University of Missouri for the rest of the year.
The Jayhawkers started off with a rush, and advanced the ball across Missouri territory for the first ten minutes of the first quarter, but two successive fumbles, one by Pringle on the Tiger 15-yard line, and the other by Wood on the Missouri punt out following, both recovered by the speedy Missouriists, took the drive out of the field in front of Pringle in the hall. Pringle and Mandeville reed off two successive downs, and got well into Missouri territory when Fringle's fumble came, followed closely by that of Wood
KANSAS ENDS OUTRUN
The Kansas line was not impregnable as the Nebraska and Oklahoma games forecast, and Travis at the tackle position seemed to have no trouble passing the ball to go through. The speedy Lewis had no trouble in going around th end for small gains. Lewis at quarter outback Lonborg four yards to the punter in the end zone, and team, and onslan Lonborg, fastest Valley ends.
When the Kansas team came on the field the stands went wild, and the first "Rock Chalk" rolled thunderly across the valley. The driwn groove of the presentatives took the ball arply across the field to the Missouri goal, and the cheerleaders were unable to quiet the crowd so that the team could hear their signals. Then Clemple's fumble, in the very shadowed postals, and the enthusiasm embed in a out of the Tiger bleachers.
MANY FAIL TO SEE K. U. SCORE
From then on the Missouri roots
completely arownd the efforts of Kan-
sas. When the second Missouri
touchdown name, in the third quar-
cus, Kansas roots started leaving the
ground so they could sail the
south bleachers failed to see the
brilliant run by Mandeville in the last
moment of play that kept the Tigers
from blanking the Jayhawk.
The first score came on a bad break in the second quarter. Lewis booted the ball from midfield to the Kansas goal, the ball taking an errate bound kick and bounced back on borg kicked out 27 yards, and Missouri returned the ball to the 1-yard line on straight football. The Kansas line held for three downs here, but Lewis went over for a downchown on the fourth try. Lewis kicked out to Goepel, who fumbled and lost the ball. Lewis then missed the remainder of the period consisted of a kicking duel between Lewis and Lonborg
LEWIS ATTEMPTS DROP KICK
In the first part of the second half, Nettles broke through the line and threw Collins for a loss, but Peterson scored twice to win. Ruth caught a pass from Lewis that netted ten yards. Lewis drove through tackle for twelve yards, and on the next play flipped a pass twenty-two yards over the line of braceimage to Ruth, waiting under the goal posts, who nabbed the ball for the second and last Tiger touchdown. The referee intercepted with the ball in Massachusetts possession in midfield.
For the first time in the season, Captain Laslett had the experience of seeing an opponent go around his end for a gain of fifteen yards, in the second half, in which he missed three try for a drop through two minutes later Peterson dodged through the entire Kansas team for a touchdown, but holding in the line brought the ball back and assessed a fifteen-yard penalty against Missouri. Lewis attempted two more dribbles in a attempt to pile up the score, but he was not able.

Will Give Ibsen Plays Despite Coal Shortage
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, MONDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 1, 1910.
"The three Isaen plays that are scheduled to be given in Robinson Gymnasium, December 5 and 6 will be given unless circumstances arise to close the University," said Miss Margaret Lynn today. "There has been considerable misunderstanding to the effect that these plays were not given as advertised, with the permission of the chancelor."
The tickets go on sale today and can be purchased from members of the College Alumnae and students. Reservations for seats can be made Thursday morning at McColbeth's office to the registrar's office in Ersan Faleh
STUDENTS TO ATTEND MISSIONS CONVENTION
Forty-Two Volunteer for Meet ing at Des Moines, December 30 to January 4
"Forty-two K. U., delegates will attend a Student Volunteer conference or Foreign Missions to be held at Dear Moines, Iowa, from December 31 to January 4, which promises to be the biggest of its kind ever held," announces the delegation, who is organizing the delegation that will attend from here.
"The convention is meeting for the purpose of actually facing the foreign mission situation in the world today and of considering the responsibility of American college men and women in regard to the serious problems which must be solved. It is a chance for the colleges to show their skills in this area," reports, seven thousand students from all parts of the United States and five hundred foreign delegates have sent in their reservations.
"The most noted association workers in the country will speak at the convention, including John R. Mott, Sherwood Eddy and Robert Spear. Seven similar student conventions were organized on intervals but this one bids fair to be in a class by itself. The University of Kansas quota for the convention is really only thirty-three but I am arranging for the surplus number who will attend now. There will possibly be a chance for three or four students to participate still desiring to atted should immediately report at Myers Hall to see what arrangements can be made." Several churches of Lawrence have already signified their willingness to assume a part of the expenses of the trip and this fact has made it possible to send such a large delegation.

Supply of Coal Now on Hand Will Last 6 or 7 Days Says Chancellor Strong
More Coal May be Obtained
If Situation Becomes Acute School Will Close and Coal Given to Citizens
The Board of Administration is not expecting to ask that the state schools close until the situation becomes more acute, according to word received by ChanceCorl Strong this morning.
"We have at least six or seven days supply of coal on hand now," said the chancellor. "The business manager of the Board of Administration hopes that coal may be secured before the present annual is exhausted."
"I would rather see school closed and our supply used by the citizens," said Chancellor Strong this morning.

After consultation with the Board of Administration, Chancellor Frank Strong announced this afternoon that University instructors are requested not to register for volunteer service in the coal mines until further notice.
"During such weather as we are having at the present time, the Uni- cation will probably load a day," said John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings in 4 n grounds. "I have heard nothing about the State's coal here on campus."

Secretary Lansing's Ultimatum Brushes Aside Mexican Answer to First Note
U. S. REITERATES ITS DEMAND FOR JENKINS
Reply Made Public Today
Government Dechares Charge of Perjury Against Jenkins Is Unfounded
Washington, Dec. 1.-Declaring its belief that the charge of perjury against him is unfounded, the United States has re-iterated its demand to Mexico for the immediate release from prison, of William O. Jenkins, American consular agent, it was announced today.
The re-iterated demand was made in the American reply to the Mexican foresult to release Jenkins.
The text of the American reply was made public by Secretary Lansing today. It was assumed that it already has been delivered to the Mexican foreign office, it having been sent early Sunday.
Secretary Lansing's communication to Carranza brushes aside the Mexican reply to the first note, declaring the United States is not to be allowed to hold a defense argument into a defense of its request for the release of Jenkins.

K. U. MINERS' TRAIN WRECKED-NONE HURT
Students and National Guards Derailed with Special Thrown Switch is Cause
By Walter G. Heren to The Daily Kansan.
Humboldt, Dec. 1—The special train carrying miners and national guardians including the University's officers took off the track by an open switch this morning one-half mile south of Humboldt. Only one passenger was hurt, and the coach to Topka. K. U. coal miners are not trained and were only slightly shaken up.
Topeka, Kan. Dec. 1. The specia-
train carrying student volunteers for
the coal mines, from KU., K.S.A.C.,
and Washburn, and National Guard
companies from Lawrence, Emporia
和 Topeka, was damedely early this
morning at Humboldt, according to
advices to state officials here.
Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 1—Wreck of the volunteer troop and miner train at Humboldt early today was caused by someone throwing a switch as the special passed over it; accordingly to reports to Santa Fe officials here.
Eight of the twelve cars were de-ralled but remained upright, railroad advices stated. The engine and first two cars passed the switch, then the eight cars left the track, the last two remaining on the rails.
Santa Fe reports were that none of the passengers were severely hurt, though they were considerably shaken up. Road detectives are investigating why the airplanes are crippled as the result of a sheet storm and information is meager.

In Answer to Governor's Call Forty Start Work Thanks-giving Vacation
Seventy-Five to go Tonight
Football Eleven is First to Velunteer—Students in National Guard
From calculus to coal digging!
That's the jump taken by forty-two students, who this morning, instead of returning to classes after the Thanksgiving vacation, as scheduled, they went to Wuriburg surface coal mines starting work to keep the people from freezing.
Seventy-five more University men will depart tonight at 6'clock on the Santa Fe, bound for Fitchburg to join the forty who went wunday in an amphibian volunteer miners. The University, through Dr. James Naimith, received a call for fifty men this morning. Early this afternoon John Cunningham, a local commissioner, telephoned Dee Naimith for twenty-five more men.
WORKERS PAID $ 5 A DAY
The workers will receive $ 5 a day and lodging. Meals will probably be served army style and at cost price. Transportation will be paid to and from the coal fields provided that the worker remains at work until return time, but in that case his transportation to Lawrence will not be paid Volunteers should be able-bodied and be preferred if they have had experience as miners or mechanics.
Students who wish to volunteer for service should call at Doctor Naismith's office, room 105 Robinson Gymnasium.
The varsity football squad, twenty three of "K.U. Finsest," was the first to volunteer. Their action came as a body, immediately after the game, when a representative of the governor appealed to them in the dress-room. The call he sent went broadcast Friday to five dozen who had not go home, and more than fifty men signed up before neon to help dig coal.
STUDENTS AND GUARDS GO TO
PITTSBURG
Saturday morning the heaviest and most experienced of the men were notified to report Sunday night at 9:30 at the gym with the necessary equipment of heavy clothes and boots, and on their arrival, were taken to the station and loaded on a Petra tracks together with the Santa Suerte units of the National Guard, and sent to Pittsburgh, where this morning entered upon their duties as "strip coal" miners.
Five hundred men from over the state, where the appeal extended to, were included in the first call, but fourteen were hired hourly by Dr. James Naismith, a charge of the registration of volunteers. "We have more than one hundred and thirty names signed up to go, including two faculty members," said Dr. Naismith this morning. "We are only waiting word from Topeka to attend." Wint Smith, regular right guard on the K. U., eleven, had charge of the first detachment which left last night, and also aidd Dr. Naismith in the registration of volunteers.
No intimation of the time the volunteers are to stay in the coal field has been announced, all profess ignorance. The setters, however, have the right to resign at any period, and return.
No definite action on the work and credit lost to the students has been taken, but the Chancellor Saturday declared that no student would lose money or material in need to help out the fuel situation. It is expected that the matter will be handled in somewhat the same manner as the military credit in case of a medical student left school before the end of the term for military service.
Five members of the football squad left with the detachment Sunday night, as the others, not forcing the quickness of action, had gone home for the holidays. Local people were appalled at that came from the free students who had remained in Lawrence for the holidays.

AMERICANS FIRST
Again, colleges men in the Kansas institutions are proving themselves Americans first, students lastly. Where two years ago they were leaving to learn the use of a bayonet they now are leaving to wield a pick and shovel in the coal mines of their own state.
"All things come to him who waits, providing that he works hard enough.
The call to arms was more spectacular than the call to man the Pittsburgh coal fields but the latter service is just as needful. The call in both cases is in behalf of humanity. Digging coal may seem a humdum task but without this fuel humanity will shiver around an ash-covered hearth.
The legal Americans of the University of Kansas and the other schools of the state are among the first to volunteer in the call for workers. It is they who continue the most sensitive to the American spirit of service.
THE GOOD FIGHT
Given, all the alibi for the defeat of the Kansas football team Thanksgiving Day, the total divided by unprejudiced judgment will always bring this result. The best team won. The best team happened to be Missouri and that made it all the harder to bear.
But while the team did not carry away the Missouri Valley championship when it left McCook Fold after the game, each member deserves the thanks of the students. Since the opening of school, the members of the team have sacrificed much that they might battle for the honor of their University. Regardless of Thursday's stinging defeat, the eleven has fought the good fight throughout the season.
"Lady Actor is Agitated!" It too bad but lots of us feel the same way often but we don't get a top head on it.
SEEING THE LIGHT
The first signs of encouragement for professors in the universities and colleges of this country are brought out by the recent increase in the salaries of the professors of Yale University.
The normal salaries of full time professors who have had $4,000, $4,500, and $5,000, have been increased to $5,000, $6,000, and $7,000, with the understanding that in a few cases where men are of exceptional ability, $8,000 will be paid. This increase will make Yale professors among the highest paid in this country.
The members of the teaching profession well deserve this increase, not
only those at Yale but at every institution of learning in this country. Wages have been raised in every other profession, vacation and trade, because of the increase in the high cost of living, and it is high time that the salaries of teachers be increased. Under the prevailing wage the working man, who is comparatively uneducated, has been receiving a greater return for his efforts than the professor, who has studied hard that he be able to teach, and then worked diligently at his profession.
A man, whether he be a teacher or engaged in any other means of securing a living, can not give the best that is in him if he is underpaid. It is much easier to become discouraged when he feels that justice is not being given him. When he feels that he is being given a square deal, his moral conscience will stimulate him to do the very best that he possibly can. It is a positive fact that an increase in the salaries of instructors and all those connected with out educational system will raise the standard of education in this country.
BATH TUBS THEN AND NOW
Adam Thompson, of Cincinnati, was the first man in the United States to use a bath tub. This was December 20, 1842.
The installation of the bath tub in Mr. Thompson's home, and the actual use of it in winter, caused wide-spread publicity and the newspapers devoted columns to the discussion of it.
Certain patients stated that this type of bathing was a degenerate luxury, designed to corrupt the democratic simplicity of the republic. The medical fraternity denounced it as dangerous to public health, and bound to result in phthisis, the inflammatory infamation of the lungs and the whole cataract of xomatic diseases.
Legislation reflected the common feeling. The Philadelphia common council, late in 1843, considered an ordinance prohibiting bathing between November 1st and March 15th, and it failed of passage by only two votes. During the same year the legislature of Virginia levied a tax of $30 a year on all bath tubs.
Boston early in 1845 made bathing unlawful except upon medical advice, but the ordinance was never enacted and in 1862 it was repealed.
President Millard Fillmore installed the first bath tub in the White House in 1851. This action broke down practically all the prejudice with the result that by 1860 every hotel in New York has one bath tub, and some had two and even three.
Today, it is the man without a bath tub who is in need of special legislation.

PRINTING IN 1403
England and the United States share the distinction of owning the oldest set of metal type bearing Chinese figures in the world, a part of the set being in one country and a part in the other; and a recent description goes back into the ancient history of that much-talked about country, which has been a long ago as 1403, that separate types of metal were invented. In that early time the type was set in a bed of beeswax, the surface was covered with ink, a paper of paper laid across the upper face of the characters, and the printing done by brushting the paper lightly with a cloth. The printer, if he was effusive, made as many as 50 presses a day, but his doublek worked more than eight hours, and his method certainly would not have gone far in getting out a modern newspaper. But the Korean invention was an improvement over the printing from engraved tablets, and later from wooden blocks that had been practiced in China in the second century A. D. and also over the move-in process for the inventor, Pi Sheng, made in the eleventh century—Christian Science Monitor.

what-nots of the day.
WE COULD, BUT WE WON'T
We are surfeited with the complaints and grievances of mankind.
The milk of human kindness has curled and the benevolence of charity has vanished.
We need a change.
We need a little lov in life.
We need a change.
We need to remember that there is a right and wrong—a justice and an injustice—strength and narrow path, but it could rooked as the hairy legs of the devil.
What a world this would be if we could all make a change—if we could dig out the Golden Rule and place its blessing above sinners and abuse.
We could bask in the sunshine of life and watch the clouds roll harmlessly by.
We could see us a people of supermen, guided by the teachings of brotherly love instead of by those of conquest and annexation.
And we could see the light and joy in every heart, in every home. We could, but we won't.
It is a simple matter to state the problem which is arousing the right-leaning parties. Neither hypothesis nor abstraction need be employed in the statement; one concrete example among the most popular of all loyal American suffrages:
WHY?
Long months ago more than fifty alien I. W. W., convicted of plotting sedition, were hauled across the continent to this port of deportation. Of them only ten have been deported. Why?
That is the problem decent folk ir
this country have faced in sorrow now turned to anger. Is this Government too weak to defend itself or is it a form of war within its borders? Is it frightened? Are there those in places of power who secretly sympathize with those who with little concern联召 anarchy for law?-New York Sun.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
PUBLISHER ADVISES RETIREMENT AT 50
Edward W. Bok Leaves Maga zine After 31 Years, Follow own Advice
K. U. Profs Discuss Idea
Different Opinions Are Among The University Faculty Regarding the Plan
New York, Nov. 25.-Edward W. Bok's advice to successful American business and professional men and women to retire from active work at 50 years of age and devote the remaining years to enjoying life and engaging in civic and welfare work has met with a variety of opinions, pro and con.
Addressing a luncheon in Philadelphia, Mr. Bok, who himself quit as editor of the Ladies' Home Journal recently after thirty-one years of service, said he would no doubt say, 'are you well?' Then they look at me as a curiosity for retiring. That is what men should do. They should not wait until they are so old they can wear glasses. Get out of business to time them a movie on your community.
"There are forty men in Philadelphia who should do as I have done. Then interesting themselves in civic work, what a power they would be in aiding our mayor in making our city what it ought to be."
KANSAIS CAMPUS VIEWS EXPRESSED The Daily Kansaan put Mr. Bob's theory to acid test at the University here and there, and collected the following expressions from men on the Hill.
John Ise, professor of economics—“The business man of today should have the civic and welfare interest at heart before he reached 50. He should devote a part of his life to public work as he lives it. It takes training to be an executive in any other kind of work, and when a man has put fifty years of his life into some other business he can not suddenly change to public welfare work and succeed at it. Darwin, Carnotie, President Wilson, and many other public works until they were past fifty. A man should keep on working until the last. Get full value out of him. Mr. Bok's idea amounts to taking of high grade talent and putting it into the poorest position."
Guy Penny, superintendent of the journalism department press—Mr. Bok's no doubt is an excellent one for Mr. Bok to follow. Likewise, it works well with Philadelphia men, to whom he refers, and for many others in different cities. There's no argument in it as a whole. It's a good idea if it fits better than the average doesn't fit. It will be generally adopted on the same day that all printed matter from circus lithographs to brochures on philology all carry the same size type, store stores only one size of shoes and store stores only one size in garments.
"Suppose you put some of the highly trained scientists on the Hill into some other work at 50, after they have spent years in their work? Ninety- one percent are more capable to be miserable and to usefulness. Their training has refined them, drawn them out to fine wires, so to speak, and fine wires can be used only for certain things, harp and violin strings, etc. They don't make good cable's cables.
"Anyway, this discussion is useless so far as university is concerned. No matter how useful he might be as a professor, you should not give professor ever got money enough to quit the daily grind at 50. If Mr. Bok proposed that University professors retire at the age of 600 and devote their time to teaching the idea more work, perhaps."
GREAT WORK DONE AFTER 50
Dr. H. W. Humble, professor of law, says, "I think it would be an excellent thing if the business man could look forward to retiring at the age of 50. One of the greatest blessings of retirement is the large number of men of financial means who devote themselves to public affairs without thought of financial reward. Such a group of persons in this country would undoubted be of great value to society. Illumina I do not believe that man
should be forced to retire at the age of fifty. If one will examine the lives of Roosevelt, Wilson and many other prominent men of recent years, he will find that what is considered their greatest work was done after they retired. The difficulty to set any good force for retirement, because so much depends on the state of preservation of the individual. If any particular age has to be fixed for forced retirement, I am sure to place it at 65 rather than at 50."
KEEP ON WORKING, SAYS CADY Prof. H. P. Cady—"I see no reason why a man should not keep on doing what he is trained to do and is able to do, even after he has reached the age of fifty."
J. P. Jenson. "If these men are really producing at fifty years of age, would not the productivity of the nation be materially lessened if they were to retire and go into work of civic usefulness?" He had the answer; if they have had no other interest all their lives, other than making money? They would not be trained for civil work, and perhaps would fail to do it effectively. Of course, if this were a regular custom, they would perhaps give some time to play and experience life with more experience and information when they reached the retiring age of fifty.
"However, would men over fifty years of age be likely to have new ideas. Would it be a good thing to have all the young men of the nation learn to use civic duties? Old men performing civic duties? I am inbelined to think it would not."
Prof. F, E. Melvin—“Business men could of times be of more civic usefulness in their private business than if they were retired.”
Will Be Open From
Prof. Lefcethz—"If n business man is capable, he can have capacity for civic usefulness, I would say, yes." If for fifty years he has tried to improve his
Rankin's Drug Store
private fortune, then I think it would be a good thing for him to retire at fifty, and do civic work. It is quite possible, though, that he can so conduct his private business as to be of much use to the public."

The whistle blew immediately after the kickoff. Final score, Missouri 13, Kansas 6.
Captain Laslett and Tom Pringle, the men who were chiefly instrumental in winning against the Tigers on Rollin Falls two years ago were boxed in so closely during the game that they could do no execution. Nettles was the stonewall of the Kansas State Wildcats and got through his side of the line. Mandelle at half played a fast, consistent and aggressive game.
FIFTEEN THOUSAND SEE GAME
Fifteen thousand spectators filled the start of the struggle, although the weather was bitterly cold, with a blizzard threatening. Many left before the final whistle blew, most of whom were Kansas peasant-roofers.

The second contingent of K. U volunteer coal miners, numbering a bounty ninety, left at 9:30 o'clock night over the Santa Fe, for the Pittsburg fields. The men were in charge of Adrian Lindsay, but will be placed under the command of Wint Smith upon their arrival at Pittsburg.
The first order received by Dr James Naismith were for the men consisting of both miners and guards to entrain at 5:30 o'clock last night, but this order was later changed to 9:30.

"Because of differences in demands made by various schools, no general statement can be made concerning the grades of men who go to the coal mines," said Chancellor Frank Strong this morning. "Men who go to the mines will be deft fairly with, is all that can be said."
Most of the men who have volu teered so far have been ex-service men.

TROUBLE ANTICIPATED IN PITTSBURG DISTRICT
No Actual Coal Shortage There But Serious Lull in Business Activity
A large number of the miners in the Pittsburgh district are being compelled to resort to the most rigid laws, and to take today from Thanksgiving vacation in the Pittsburgh district. Many miners are pessimistic, the students say, when questioned as to the possibility of an early settlement of the strike.
"There is no actual shortage of coal in most parts of the Pittsburgh district, but there is a very serious hull in business activities," said one student. "In communities inhibited for the most part by miners, business is reported to have decreased 50 per cent. Many of the miners are work-aholics jobs, but there is not an excellent employment for all the strikers."
Those who have returned from the coal fields recently report that many American born miners, while opposed to the government's policies in handling the strike situation, are not in agreement with the government's owers. They all have sympathy for the people who must suffer on account of their idleness, but are included to stand behind their union officials in the struggle. Nearly 40 percent of miners in the troops and volunteer miners will cause more or less trouble.
WOMAN WAR WORKER TO TALK IN FRAASEI
Miss Nell M. Reeder Will Ad address Convocation Wednesday
Miss Nell M. Reeder, efficiency expert, is to lecture Wednesday after noon, at 4:30 o'clock in Fraser Chan elon, on "Women in Industry."
Miss Reeder was formerly chief of production of munitions in the New York district. She was first a munition worker, filling shells, and the ability she showed in organizing and administration in this capacity, secured for her the position of chief of production. Although her lecture is especially for the women, it will not be missed by many in many suggestions as to occupations and training which would not occur to anyone without her experience.
Mr. Reeder has made an efficiency survey of the American Tin Can Company, the Cheney Silk Works, and the Cichle Company.

Simplifying of income and excess profits taxes.
Establishment of a national budget system.
Legislation to obtain employment and land for service men.
Laws to encourage increased crop production.
Protection for America's new chemical and dye stuff industry.
Federal aid in the building of good roads.
Legislation to reduce the cost of living and expansion of the Lever Act.
Development of forest reserves.
Enactment of Attorney General Palmer's legislation for dealing with the "Reds."
LABOR QUESTION EMPHASIZED Though the president several times referred to the peace treaty and the League of Nations, he did not discuss the treaty situation. He also said he would be willing to reliable information today. He also will deal later with the railroad question, he informed the legislators.
Much of the message was devoted to discussion of the labor problem. To solve it, the president said Congress "must now help in the difficult task of finding a method that will bring about a genuine democratization of industry based upon the full recognition of workers' rights in whatever rank, to participate in some organic way in every decision which directly affects their welfare."
But he added that the government has the pre-eminent right to protect all the people against the challenging aggression of any single class.
Analysis of labor's complaint the President told congress shows it is based upon justice. Capital, too, he declared, has a right to an adequate pay. He said that theeward must never "play" capital and Injor against each other.

VOLUNTEER MINERS
BEGAN WORK IN STORM
Slept in Tents First Night
Six Hundred Volunteer Miners Arrived in Pittsburg District This Morning
Pittsburgh, Kna, Dec. 2, "The Wilson mine, three miles from here, today yielded the first coal under picks of Governor Allen's funky volunteers. O'Keefe, American Legion members from Wichita dropped the first pick.
Pittsburgh, Kan., Dec. 2. - In weather that would have closed the pile under ordinary circumstances, volunteer Kansas miners entered the strip mines today. A snow storm reached here early today adding a decided chill to the weather, already below freezing.
With the slogan "Let's Go," the volunteers showed no discouragement even after their first night of sleep. They waited until winter to ice-cold water this morning.
ALLEN ARRIVES ON SCREEN
Concern for the men brought Governor Allen to the scene. He was to confer with the state governor and military leaders in charge. Six hundred men detrained here this morning every one of whom will have been assigned a place in the mines by tomorrow, according to O. S. Hubert, in charge of mine operation.
First coal taken from the strip mines by volunteer coal diggers is sent to the mine and body. Whether the coal will react to the displaced populace of the state resumed to be seen.
EXPECT FAILURE TROUBLE
Out-cratching of opposition to the state's operation of the strip mines last night culminated in a report that Mr. O'Connor was forced to move brotherhood members to refuse the coal cars. It was understood that local trainenet had wired their brotherhood chiefs for instruction, received a local stube of railroad tunnel was considered a possibility.
Six stip mines in northern and southern parts of Crawford County were expected to begin production today.
The Jayhawker Office will be open at regular office hours until the Christmas vacation and Jayhawkers may be purchased until that time.

UNIVERSITY R.O.T.C.
MAY GUARD MINERS
Men to Enlist in National Guards If War Department Grants Permission
At the same time, Colonel Burdick telegraphed Adjuntant General Martin of Kansas asking whether, if the R. O. T. C. unit enrols in the National Guard to serve in the emergency, the men will be discharged when the emergency is past and allowed to return to the R. O. T. C. at K. U. B. The Army enlisted in emergency company discharged immediately emergency "nast."
Col. H. D. Burdick yesterday telegraphed the Adjutant General of the Army asking permission to send the K. U. R. O. T. C. unit as guards to the coal fields or to be used in any way the Governor sees fit. This permission is necessary because the commander has a state unit without the consent of the War Department. A reply to this telegram has not yet been received.
Colonel Burdick interprets this to mean that the adjutant general considers the R. O. T. C. men as ex-service men, and is now waiting for a message from the War Department before taking any action.
DEBATING TRY-OUTS SET FOR WEDNESDAY
Restriction of Immigration Will Be Subject For Argument
"Resolved that immigration is so detrimental to the economic interests of the American people that its prac- tices are difficult for it, and years is desirable." This is the question on which a picked team of debaters from the University of Kansas will meet the best debaters Missouri has on a K.-U. will prove the negative side.
"We have the best material in the University for a debating team that we have had for several years," said Prof. Henry Shinn of the Public Speaking Department, "and with the right kind of backing we should have taught him how to debate and have lost to Missouri in football. Let's not do the same thing in debate."
The squads will be chosen at the try out Wednesday afternoon at 3:30, Room 6, Green Hall. Although the debate will not take place until March, the teams will be chosen before the first of the year.

COAL PILE VANISHES IN STUDENT HOUSES
Mary Houses Have Only Enough Coal to Last a Few Days Or None at All
Few Have Large Supply
Wood and Oil and Gas Stoves Are Being Used For Immediate Relief
FRANK STRONG,
Chancellor
On the suggestion of Mayor Kreeck I request that University students assent in conserving the city's coal supply by reducing the amount of electric lights they use at their rooming houses and by turning the lights off as early an hour as possible.
While the coal supply of the University may last a week or more the bottom of the coal bin has been reached in many boarding houses and frat houses and shivering students are coming in larger numbers to the libraries to study. Unheated or poorly heated rooms and houses are driving them to Spooner and other study halls.
Westminster Hall reported that its coal supply was exhausted while Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Omega, Phi Kappa, Gamma Pi Beta and Mu Phi have only enough coal to last until tonight or Wednesday morning. Sigma Phi Beta will twist itself and freezing. A whole flock of fraternity houses and boarding clubs, led by the conicent University Club, are in the class that has only about a week's coal supply. In this bunch with only a week's warmth in sight around the home health are the Gamma Pi Kappa, the erudite Alpha Pi Omegas, the sage Pi Kappa Alphas and the judicial Pi Alpha Deits.
PHI PSIS ARE FREEZING
To a specific question as to how much coal they had on hand the debnair Phi Piis replied with sweet frigidity, "We're freeing to death," but gave nothing definite as to how much coal they had on hand. Aethch replied with scientific precision, saying, "We had a ton last Saturday."
In the class having enough to last "two or three weeks" are the Phi Delta and Phi Beta P.
Three sororities qualified for the virgin wires' coterie, when it came to buying coal when coal was buyable. They are the Thetas, Alpha XI Delta and Alpha Osmokran F<sub>1</sub>, who report that coal from the Thetas coal to lests during winter periphery.
The Sig Alphas also loaded up on coal and in addition to keeping the home fires burning have opened the home fires burning have several tons of downtown folks have several tons of Sigma Chis, Sigma Nus, Betas and the Woman's Co-op House point to full bison as proof of their firewhee. They foresee a warm winter, whatever the weather. The Kappa Sigs are playing so by facing out with wood and gas.
SIG ALPHS WARM HEARTED
Kanzara reports a supply for a month or longer. Acacia says its coal supply is not of sufficient dignity to just keep heating, but they aren't depending on coal, but are burning wood and have about a week's supply. Delta Tans expects to go a week on the present supply of coal at least once in a quarter and estimated half ton at noon today.
USING OIL AND GAS
"We're limping along with gas stoves," said one man from a boarding house. "Gas stoves without fines." "We've got plenty of oil," said a man
"We've got plenty of coal," said a woman.
"Entirely out," chorused three students from as many boarding houses, while another chorted because his landlord had a full brim.
The boarding houses and clubs with out sufficient supply of fuel apparently outnumber the well supplied houses. Wood, gas and oil are being used in the boarding houses, or to take or to take the place of no supply. Phi Beta Kappa, the profound, reported that it had no coal because the association among Phi Beta Kappa is in the spirit and not in a social or material sense. Phi Beta Kappa never got together except when the natural environment became unearthly crashes.

FIRST THINGS FIRST
FIRST THINGS FIRST
Putting America first enabled this nation to attack the Islamic State two million miles in France in a fight with al-Assad, an agent of a common enemy.
The same spirit working today in Kansas is enabling the state to mine coal with which to relieve and prevent the suffering of thousands.
At the University the cry of "America First" has taken the place of the loyalty slogan "K. U. First," and our men have accepted the newer challenge. The men and women who populate the ill know now that there are some things greater than K. U's loyalty movement; that something comes ahead of the University of Kansas, and that something is America. They have come to realize the obvious fact that "K. U. First" has only local significance--that it is "America first" which is the ultimate goal of allvals.
Loyalty after all means putting first things first. At the University this means that, selfish personal interests must be subordinated to those of the institution. In the nation it means that the people's interests are paramount and must be upheld as against class interests.
Putting first things first means a combination of the American idea of law, order and government, and in such a scheme of things the University of Kansas is not going to be put out 'of the running.'
**NOW ABOUT FARM HAND POETS**
“This Richard Wattles, a Kansas poet of some renown, should be suppressed at once. He has offered a prize of $50 for the best poem on Kansas between now and next May. What knew needs is farm hands ask, not, poets.”—Osborne farmer.
Perhaps this prayer for suppression refers to William Wattles, whom University students know as a Kansas poet of some renown, and who has offered a $90 prize.
By all means let's suppress him. But let's wait until after next May when the prize will have been conferred. Yes, let's put off the suppression a little langer, wait until after harvest, and until after Willard Watties has again heartened to the call of the need of Kansas, as he has for many years past, by farm-handing it on the Brownlee ranch, west of Hutchinson.
KEEPING TOO FAR AHEAD
Luxuries were never higher. Their costs are attached not only to their buyers but to the purchasers of necessities as well, for the manufacture of luxuries is diverting man-power
from the manufacture of necessities.
The cost of a fancy pair of shoes raises the price of the ordinary pair because the principal item in making shoes is labor, and there is a shortage of it in every industry. High priced luxuries under these conditions make high priced necessities.
In spite of the cost we insist on the boot and create a demand for a continuation of the manufacture of luxuries. We have been taught to make price the principle basis for our shopping judgment, and we buy the articles with the highest priced label in preference to a similar article with a lower priced label. Whether men or women we are characteristically vain and each day we look into the mirror saying to ourselves we do not seem to be outdone in our luxurious tastes.
We need the old-fashioned economy of former days when twenty-five cents was enough for a rip-raising time at any Fourth of July celebration. Our tastes have run ahead of our products and we need to stop long enough for production to catch up again. While the war was being fought we ceased producing but we did not cease desiring and the usual balance was lost. The only way to resume the balance is to temporarily stop desiring and increase production.
THOSE LITTLE THINGS
When in doubt, speak. That would zee a good motto for every student to adopt. Between classes certain faces at once bring a cheery greeting while others are passed by with a questioning look. Oftentimes two persons well known to each other pass without as much as a nod.
What's the harm in speaking to every fellow student whose face bears the least mark of familiarity? To pass without speaking is to pass up an opportunity for practicing the democracy of which the University boasts. If a smile is added to the greeting so much the better.
It's a little thing to do but it often seans much.

AMERICAN PRIDE
To Canadians the frezy of Americans over their baseball team is difficult to understand. Would we rave thus if we happened to have a world champion team in Toronto? Is it that the grapes are different from their onusse are different or that Saeedan's that strange gift of abruptly taking leave of their senses when a baseball crisis approached. Can we imagine Toronto clergyman praying for the success of the Toronto baseball team, as a Cincinnati clergyman prayed for the success of the Cincinnati team, or imagine the owner of the Toronto team resenting such partisan petitions?
At any rate, we cannot sneer at the Americans as being hero worshipers with regard to athletic prowess and dull and unemotional with regard to their citizens who have attained eminence in other walks of life. The people of Indiana, we believe, would take up arms in defense of the claims that Mr. Edison was the inventor of the writer than John Galloway, and that James Whitcomb Riley's "An Old Sweetheart of Mine" will be remembered when Kensa's "Lines on a Greek Urn" are forgiven. This, we take it, is the essence of Americanism, an absolute belief in the superiority of all American art and all American business to every other. They think Edison was the inventor of electricity that ever lived; that Sergeant York was the greatest soldier in the late war, and that the Woolworth building is a mighty sight more interesting that the Pyramids. As an American writer put it not long ago when giving a definition of the average American, he is one who thinks that the average American is better than the average citizen. In some respects living in Canada has all the advantages and drawbacks of living next door to a circus.-Toronto Mail & Press.

PROF. ALTER DOUBTS PORTA'S STATEMENTS
Astronomy Professor Suggest Internment for Foreign Meteorologist
Rumors Scared Thousands
Says Porta Claimed to Discover Weather Law for Sake of ...
"Anyone who makes a prediction about the planets such as Porta has made should be intermed," says Dina Simoeva, an astronomer at NASA. "It is true the six planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune will be on one side of the sun but any influence which will result from their influence and absolutely negligible."
"I don't believe he can be possible or so ignorant as to believe one or two of his statements. He said there never have been sun spots high enough to nake the naked eye. There have been hundreds. Three different times I have seen sun spots visible to the naked eye when I was not expecting them; in January, 1806; in August, 1813; and in December it is possible we will have a big sun spot in December for the maximum time of sun spots has just passed and there are still a great many. The time of sun spot maximum was 1916 and the minimum was 1897 and we can establish any certain connection between sun spots and the weather.
CAUSES POSTNONMENT OF DEAL
“There should be a law prohibiting wild rumors. Hundreds of thouls of people who live in Mexico die by them. The mentally unstable people become actually insane Especially is it at bad this time, when people are in such an unsettled country that a woman from Mexico situation and coil strike.
"Rumors like this one cause humble dreeds of thousands of dollars damage to business. I met a man just the other day who told me that his business deal because of this rumor.
"People like Porta do not generally last more than two years. I believe she is a great teacher and is making all the money he can during this six months, for Porta has never discovered any weather law and is not a professor in any reckoning."
CONTRADICTS WEATHER REPORT
"Porta predicts much worse weather for this December than ever has been in the history of mankind. I have the data for the last fifty years, and it seems that the weather was before that. The minimum in December during the last fifty-one year is 18 degrees below zero, the maximum amount of rain 3.55 inches, maximum amount of snow 20 inches, lowest barometer reading 46.9 degrees, evening for the windiest month day and night is twenty miles an hour in 1891."

The following Tiger touchdowns came in three, after several students, saying, 'It's all over the butting, and we'd better let the Mourians do that' walked down to the gate so as not to be caught in the crowd, some of them leaping before they could see it. "Well," the Old Grad concluded, "Maybe K. U. will show more spirit in the basketball season next spring. We've got to catch a train now, so goodbye." *By* *Amend I come back?*, Oh, I didn't know, but I expect it will work.

Practise House Women Study Heating Problem
The Practice House of the home economies department is now in good working order at 701 Louisiana under the supervision of Miss Jessie Cline and Miss Elizabeth Sprague both instructors have charge of the house for two weeks at a time. During this time they make a study of the food value of the meals served and then figure for the total number of calories. The special house problem now under consideration is the question to what stock the house compared with the kitchen. The house is heated by gas.
The women have complete charge of the house and do all of the work. This plan is continued until every woman in the course has had two weeks of practice work.
At present Miss Cline is furnishing the office and part of the equipment while the remainder of the equipment is taken care of by the Smith-Huches Fund, a Federal fund for vocational training. By next year the department hopes to have a permanent practice house.

Kansas City Football Writers Give K. U. Good Representation on Mythical Teams
Kansas Gets Both Ends
All Three Papers Unite in Giving Laslett and Lonborg Honors at Wing Positions
All-Valley football players so anxiously awaited by the athletic fans, and so anxiously striven for by the athletes were announced by the three leading Kansas City papers in their Sunday editions this week.
Kansas fared well in the selection, getting two players on all three elevees, Captain Laslett and Lonborg as ends. In addition, Nettles scored three goals each. Mandeleve as half, landed on both the Post and Journal teams.
Nettles and Mandellew won places on McRite's Kansas City Star second team, and Nettles and Pringle were awarded places on the Post office and Kansas City Sport editor, on Kansas City men four places on the first team, and none on the second. In the "Honorable Mention" list, however, Ruid, guard, Bun, quarter, Church, tackle, and Buck were awarded places of with commendation by Cochrane.
The teams are selected by the sport editors of the papers, after sending questionnaires to coaches and officials over the Valley. A ballot is taken, the top three votes are given, most votes are placed on the mythical "All" eleveners.
Nine of the Kansas players were mentioned among those on the top strats, as far as football playing abilities are concerned. They are any other of the valley institutions.

PLACE RESTRICTIONS ON COAL CONSUMPTION
Chicago, Dec. 2.—The industrial life of the Middle West was slowly but surely been spilled today by the coal shortage.
About 8,000 Plants in Chicago Will Have to Close
Renewal of war time restrictions on coal consumption was to be placed in effect today. No coal will be distributed to any but industries which are necessary of the well being of the people. Theaters, churches, schools, clubs, and other meeting places will shut down practically all the Middle West by the end of the week, according to prediction of those in touch with the situation. Many shutdowns were reported throughout the Middle West. About 8,000 plants in Chicago alone will not be allowed to receive any more coal and will have to close down when their present capacity would affect 200,000 wage earners whose weekly wage is estimated at six million dollars.
Reports from throughout the bultimum coal producing field today indicated that few miners jerseyed the colony for more than a month, with an increase of 14 per cent in wages. No miners were reported digging coal in Indiana, Iowa, Illinois or Ohio where the strongest efforts made to induce the mnt to return.
British Language Is Getting Rough
London (By Mail)—The British public is not so sensitive about a "cuss" word or two these days. Lately some of the reformers and reconstructionists have been saving their wild outfits when they are being reprinted in the press just exactly as they fell from the orators' lips.
"Hell" in the newspapers of today, is "hell", not "hill" which was an anemic rendering of a fine explicable consideration of the feelings of old-school readers.
nor of the newspapers for writing damn damn instead of d-n.
General Ironside came back from Russia and told every reporter who approached him, "I think a damn sight too much has been said about Russia already," and nobody thinks any the worse of General Ironsides
Phones at a Premium In South American City
Buenos Aires (By Mail)—"More precious than rubies" are this in city. It is next to impossible to have one installed, unless a heavy premium is paid to a subscriber who is ready to give up his telephone. Then it means a long wait until the transfer is made.
Officials of the telephone company say that the main lines are full to capacity—that it is impossible to handle more telephones.
In the meantime $100, and more is being paid daily for the transfer of a telephone. People are even renting to others for a year for that sum.
The telephone company, seeing all this money changing hands, with itself left out of the deal, has of late been finding excuses for refusing to make transfers or lengthily delaying them.
Reed Golden, 121, has withdrawn from school and will return to his home in Kensington.
Ownership Of Bones
Of Saint In Doubt
Milan (By Mail)—The Milian courts are trying to discover the legal owner of the body of St. Stanislau. The bones and sepulchre of the saint have been in private possession for many years, but the last owner having recently died, several claimants have appeared before the courts.
Another saint in private ownership is the mummified body of St. Spyridon, patron saint of the Island of Corfu. The eldest sons, who succeed in turn to the inheritance of the relic are by family tradition obliged to become priests, but as Greek priests choose this, this effect the succession. In default of male heirs a daughter may inherit as long as her husband is a priest.
Only Five Casualties In Football This Year
The football season of 1919 was the least costly as far as lives are concerned since the beginning of football back in the 'eighties.
Illinois Girl, 16, Champion Hog
Five deaths make up the total casualties, as against sixteen in 1918, when nearly half of the schools in the United States had discarded the sport. Four of the deaths came from high school games over the country where the players gave evidence of not being in sufficiently good physical condition. There the other came in a small college, and were no deaths in the colleges and institutions of high rank in athletic circles, where the men are well trained and conditioned for participation in the gridiron pastime.
Decatur, Ill. Dec. 1—Gertrude Parish, 16, is the champion junior because she won Macon County. Since she joined one girl, girls and girls' pug clubs she has marketed $1,677 worth of hops. Gertrude "This is a sixteen-year-old Royal daughter of a prosperous farmer Princess. The mummy has been pre-near here, bought a sow for $75. The served for two thousand years."

STRIP MINE SPECIALIST TO LECTURE THURSDAY
Prof. C. M. Young Will Tell Miners and Geologists About Pittsburg Mines
To Be Shown
Opportunity for Friends and Prospective Miners to Learn About Strip-Mines
Prof. C. M. Young of the department of mining will give an illustrate lecture on strip-pit mining in south eastern Kansas, Thursday at 4:30 o'clock. Mr. Nixon. 206. Professor Young will speak under the auspices of the Mining Journal and Geological Club. The public is invited to attend. Paul Holland, president of the Club considers that Mr. Young knows more about strip-pit mining than any other man in the state. He has specialized in the mining industry many years ago and studied especially the mines in southeastern Kansas.
Lantern slides made from pictures taken in the Pittsburgh district will show the miners themselves and manned machines from the mines. Positions of coal strata and conditions making strip-pit mining possible will be shown. This is the place of the regular meeting of the Mining Journal and Geology Club.
"Since strip-pit mines are the only ones volunteers can operate, every one going or thinking of going to the mines should hear this lecture. Mr. Holland believes that many town people who are sending relatives and friends to the mines would like to know more of conditions there.
DAINS BACK FROM TRIP
Professor of Chemistry has Been Traveling in Interest of the National Research Council
Dr. F. B. Dains of the department of chemistry has returned from a 2-weeks' visit at the Universities of Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota, where he made a preliminary survey in his department's campaign to further scientific research. In addition to his scientific efforts Doctor Dains seized the opportunity offered to dine on venison cut from a deer shot by Prof. Kate Daum, who was until this year an instructor in chemistry at Kansas and is now an assistant professor in the University of Montana.
Doctor Daina further added to the interest of his trip by being on a train, one car of which was robbed by Carlie兰. The Wyoming bandit did not enter Doctor Daina car and the only part Doctor Daina had in the adventure was in listening to the report of the robber's work next morning.
Mustaches Attempt Existence On Campus
"The National Research Council is endeavoring to further scientific research possibilities in the various educational institutions," Doctor Daina said today. "As preliminary to a definite campaign I visited three those universities of South Dakota, Nebraska and Colorado."

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 3, 1910.
The recommendations that the admission price to the Junior Prom be raised to $8 and the price of the Senior Prom be raised to $12 by the joint committee in Student Affairs, was adopted by the University Senate Tuesday night.

MIDDLE WEST $ ^{2}$ FREEZES
BELOV ZERO -- NO COAL
Fuel Famine Commence Pinch Homes And Industries
Chicago, Dec. 3.—Below zero weather which prevailed throughout a large part of the Middle West today is the seriousness of the coal shortage.
Promised relief from eastern hard coal mines has failed to arrive, Chairman Proctor of the regulation coal committee stated. Only 8,000 cars of coal were available for the 30 million persons in the Chicago region during the last two weeks. Seventy-five percent of the industries of the Chicago area produced more than throwing 200,000 people out of work. This situation is typical of the majority of cities of the Middle west according to reports today.
St. Louis, Dec. 3—With the theremometer hovering around the zero mark, St. Louis and southern Illinois had the first real bite of a coalless winter.
Industries forced to the emergency by cutting off their coal supply made arrangements today to burn oil or wood. Many factories have had oil burning devices installed and are continuing production to a limited degree.

A young journalist was looking in addresses on Daily Kannanne in the malling room. "H S. Lib, Lebanon, where were we?" she read. "were some of the labels she read."
Pittsburgh, Dec. 3—"Ten cars of coal will be shipped to needy Kansas points today." Receiver Sample said. "We expected to mount steadily hereafter."
Marvin Harms, who has had charge of the publication for the Student Council, said that it was due to the co-operation of the registrar that the publication of the book was at all possible.
Nine hundred volunteers are now on the job. Receivers today asked for more engineers and machinists.

No Volunteers to go Today
Later Demand Will be for Larger Number of Workers, Says Dr. Naismith
No volunteer miners will leave to day.
The coal situation at the University remains about the same, according to John M. Shea, superintendent of roads and grounds. One car of coal was driven unloaded on the morning but no coal will come to the University tomorrow.
This was the substance of an an announcement of Dr. James Naismith in charge of the registration of labor here, after a talk over the long-distance telephone with the labor commissioners in Topeka.
The bulk of the work now, Doctor Naismith said, was in working the men now in the field, and in getting an organized additional steam shower power. "If there are any steam shower experts among the students," he told reporters, but three will be noen sent out today, and probably none tomorrow."
“After the labor commissioners get some shovels to working, however,” said Doctor Nalismith, “more men, a great many more men will be needed for the new project and I think that a large bunch will be sent out about the last of the week.”
VETERAN JOURNALIST SPEAKS TO CLASSES
William Palmer of The Jewell City Republican Tells of 36 Years of Success
William C. Palmer, for thirty-six years editor of the Jewell County Republican, one of the best country weeklies in Kansas, told newspaper students a few of the things that made a newspaper man's career a success, in a talk Wednesday mornings. The event went to Jewell immediately after finishing a printing course at the State Agricultural College.
His son, Everett Palmer, was at one time editor of The Daily Kansan, and after serving in the navy, he will return to the University to complete his work in journalism this year.
Mr. Palmer mentioned one feature of his paper which has made it popular. It is the column head "What They Say." In that column Mr. Palmer prints short paragraphs tell the politician, the farmer, the doctor, the teacher, the school girl, and persons from almost every walk in life have to say.
"When I have some particular idea about farming I find some farmer who thinks as I do, then I get him and I quote him," said Mr Palmer.
The Homecoming Number of the Sour Owl was a "scandalous" success, even though the photographs and the book described missing from its *hot* pages. The Owl appeared indeed soured at least on the University section of the world, and in the sunny pages at the end of the magazine the sourness was puckering.
Many guns have been oiled and some of the women of the University have added automatics to their Christmas want lists, for the Owl was mercelless as well as regardless of his own safety.
Hoots Of Sour Owl Scandalize Sisters
The illustrations in the magazine were accurate and not flattering, but the Owl believes in frankness, according to his introductory pages. If he had been disappointed, while as it is everyone is "scandalously" pleased

Madame Hammer to Presen English Production of Ibsen Plays
MADAME BORGANY HAMMER
"To really appreciate Madame Hammer," said Professor A. M. Sturtevant, "it might be well to know that no one but the best of talent ever attained can compete." Successfully done, it is the crowning success of an actors ife."
The National Theater came into existence along about the middle of the nineteenth century. It is really the work of a triumph over the Danish literature.
Björsnason was made president of the Norwegian literary party organization and Ibsen vice-president. They constructed a theater in Christiana for the purpose of furthering Norwegian art. Ibsen's plays were presented there, and he became a famous fame. The success of the theater can be attributed to Ibsen for his good business management and because of the success of his plays. As the theater grew in fame, it came under the notice of the Norwegian government, and finally was taken over by them and made into the National Theater. He also built a theater of Norwegian art, and a large theater was built in its honor.
At present the National Theater is maintained by the government of Norway for the purpose of furthering literature and educating the people.
"in view of these facts, said Miss Lynn, head of the Collegiate Alumni Association, "I do not believe Madame Hammer can be over-praised."

"For the last five years there has been ample cause for us to go to war," Shields said.
Previous to all action Senator Ashurst offered a resolution directing the War Department to maintain troops conditioned troops on the border to the west of Iraq in view of the fact that Carranza is missing soldiers near the line.

ENGINEER-LAW DEBATE
EARLY NEXT SEMESTER
Engineers Will Hold Convocation
To Arouse Enthusiasm
For Another Victory
The date for the recently established annual clash between the engineers and laws in the form of a debate has not been definitely decided upon, owing to a number of reasons. Certain it will be held early next semester, either in February or the part of March, according to Prof. Henry Shinn of the department for public speaking, and Prof. C. W. Williams of the School of Engineering.
The engineers won the choice of sides and will take the affirmative of the question, which is to the effect that strikes in industries directly engaged in the production of food, fuel, and machinery are prohibited by federal law and all much industrial disputes be settled by compulsory arbitration.
"The question is one of timely interest to everyone and the debate promises to be a close and keenly contested one," said Professor Shinn. "The laws are strong to retrieve their defeat at the hands of the engineers last year and claim that lack of sufficient harmony among them was the only thing that allowed the rival school to beat them at their own cost. The defeat of town judges will be obtained for the debate, which may be held in the gym instead of Fraser, as was done previously."
The debate committees met recently and the teams will be chosen before the year ends. Professor Williams said the engineers would hold a convoction in the near future to arouse the enthusiasm for another victory over the team that will represent the law school.

The conference is also to be attended by all the superintendents and principals in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma and Colorado. Prof. W. H. Johnson will represent the University at the conference.

MINERS GET CREDIT
Students With Passing Grades Who Enrolled in Gym, Will "Get By"
The University Senate adopted a resolution Tuesday night in behalf of the students who are working in the cool fields. The men whose work up to the present time has been satisfactory will, as far as conditions of the courses themselves allow, be given excused for the time spent in such activities on Christmas holidays, providing the register for this service with the proper authorities in the gymnasium before leaving the University, or provided they are called out as members of the Kansas National Guard.
In case service in the coal fields beyond January 5 is necessary, then appropriate action will be taken to clarify as possible with the students.
The Chancellor's Cabinet recommended the resolution to the University Senate as a just and necessary step to be taken immediately in order to meet the crises of the coal crisis. The resolution commends the university offering their services and states that University students ready to make good to the students their loss of work in every case possible.

THOSE SENSIBLE WOMEN
The University is starting the winter with one exceptional feature. The women are dressing more sensibly than the men. The prevailing style seems to be for men to wear low shoes and many are proving themselves slaves to fashion. The women are wearing coats to a great extent but they are nearly always tipped by woolen hose. Few women are seen on the hill this freezing weather in pumps and silk stockings, a common sight in other years. High heels are almost extinct and common sense in dress is so much in vogue that the woman in walking shoes has a feeling of pity for her high-heeled sister. Even rubbbers are not looked upon so contemptually as in former years.
The freshman was allowed to discard his cap just at the critical time, but some of the headgear worn by the men is hardly more sensible than that diminutive cap. Certainly few of the hats and caps worn by the men afford as much warmth to them as the present way of dressing their hair gives the women.
Without a doubt the wollen dresses worn by the women are warmer than the silk and maidens shirts worn by the majority of the men, so as a whole the women are better fitted to withstand the severe weather or arly winter. Times are changing and by next winter the men may be slipping and sliding around the campus in dancing pumps and low necked shirts and the women attired in boots and ear muffs.
THE RAG DOLL
The season has again arrived when the women's pages of various periodicals feature among their directions for home-made Christmas gifts the personal rag doll.
The current suggestion calls for an old pair of white stockings, water colors to pain the features and hair, finely shipped paper in lieue of the expensive cotton for the necessar stuffing, and any sort of goods the maker may have handy to cloth her ladyship withal. Following the diagram a treasure is produced to delight the heart of some small girl, and all goes merrily as the Christmas bella.
Whatever the psychological reaction may be, the average mother of many kids loves the rag doll far better than any creation of the most famous shouts. And if, perchance, she has put her together herself, however crusade and hugely the result, she loves her all the more. She is a part of herself, a wonderful imitation of the real flesh-and blood child of the real mother.
This nansen bit of womanhood is not an isolated member of society. We all love our rag dolls which some
beneficent spirit brings, or which we
anticipate for ourselves. And every co-educational institution is a kind of rag-doll factory. Every young woman who enters its doors not only dolls herself up with all the odds and ends at her command, but also makes out of the college man whom she elects to favor, a most attractive dressed-up symbol that pleases her the more as she fills him out here and there in her mind's eye, and clothes him with the gifts and grace of her changin' dreams.
The little boy usually sterns to pla with dolia. He is a terrible savage a mighty hunter, an invincible warrior; but when he becomes a man he falls under the power of the dolspirit along with his devotion to the real lady of his selection. He lends himself delightfully to her exquisite artistry as he tries his own hand upon himself, and all unconsciously he revels in his touch upon the doll his doll seems to be, and what she may become.
Eons old is the symbol of the rag doll. Long before man and women and children ever were, the necessity for human expression waited the fullness of time. To make something to fill a want and then to love it because it is one's very own—to picture ourselves and other people as we would have them be, is just the same old principle of reproductive life coming forth over and over again. "In the spring the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love," but Christian mas time is all the time, so be that we can only hold fast to the thing our rag dolls stand for, and keep or playing our creative game.

(Ay frame and all) and carried it
away.
Of curious work and wonderful design
And very costly. And a certain man
Of her acquaintance, whom she looked
A lovely picture of her lovely face, she had made.
There came another man, and this one
On whom she looked with more than
passing favor:'
Yet, I knew the other, so said word.
But smiled a little to her self.

SHYING AT NEW GATES
A cowshies at a new gate; a man is ruffled by a new law. Mental transitions are troublesome. Improvements are welcome where innovations are not, because the former allow us to go on our old way with less effort while the latter require that we strike leaders enjoy only beaten popularity because followers are so slowly in arriving. We feel it is a reflection on our intelligence to be shown better. That Europe hurled every available word of abuse at Ibsen writing and then sent loving cups and engraved albums to Ibsen dying, is about what we should expect of the watchdog which shows its teeth at the new wagons its wage in its better acquisition.
In its attitude toward the individual leader, however, the world is growing better. Bruno was burned at the stake when he was accused of merely put hinderance in his way until we catch up. If this takes place during his life, we become courteous; if not, we grow lavish. If the shock incident to accepting the new teaching in too great, we let ourselves down in too sincerely—i.e., New York Elevation Post.

"The chief object of the Hospitai Workers in France," said Mi Evidnae Lapta in a talk before the W. Y. C. W. A. Tuesday afternoon, "we to form a connecting link between the soldier in the hospital and his family in the United States. This job is a crucial course, was won an最's most vital one."
Miss Lapta of Lawrence recently returned from France where she served as a Hospital Worker during the war.
"The thing uppermost in the minds of the soldiers as they were brought into the hospitals," said Miss Lapat, "was the family at home and particularly the fear that their mothers would worry when they learned that their boys had been wounded. It was then that the hospital visitors appeared to bring every comfortpossibility to them, and able to spend more time with them than just necessary for nursing duties.
A—Red Cross Articles Compfort Boys
"The greatest sources of comfort
for the boys were the pajamas, bath-
robes and Red Cross Comfort Bags
sent over from the hands of their own
in the American Red Cross rooms."
To show what these really did mean, Miss Laptad told of having gone to one of the hospitals rather late one evening and landing an air conditioner. At this air conditioner place. Comfort Bags were lacking, consequently tooth brushes, tooth paste, soap and washrubs were too, and the men were uncomfortable and frightened.
Doctors and nurses all felt the depression, but while they were considering the state of affairs, several cases of comfort bars arrived. Quickly, a dozen women, unusually discouraged men, Miss Hurd hurriedly passed them out.
In just a few moments the men had spread out the contents of the bags all over their beds, were shouting, laughing, and trading, declaring that this was better than any Christmas of their boyhood.
A—Pink Bathrobes in Demand
"The interesting feature of distribution was to hunt out a pink bathrobe," she said, and for another and a red bag for another. The men were very particular," continued Miss Lapast, "and even seemed to take into consideration complexions in their choice of colors.
"The men always seemed very grateful and appreciative of the efforts of the Red Cross. One big Swede of my acquaintance, said
“Well, war is all that. Sherman said it was, but the Red Cross saved it.”

Punctuation Keeps Teachers From Mines
To The Daily Kansan:—May I correct a statement in the Kansan which called me "director of recruiting for service in the coal fields." Doctor Naismith has been in charge of this work, and George Montgomery his right hand man. The impression that I had some official connection with this work is probably due to the fact that Doctor Naismith told the first group of Kansan men when they were leaving that job. He then sent an office phone him. Hence the telegram from the coal fields seems to have come to me instead of To Doctor Naismith. I have spent what time I could helping in the enrollment of the men.
May I also explain the rumor that I have myself gone to the coal fields. Last Friday Professor Davis volunteered at my job, and I signed up myself. But the Chancellor finds on constation with the Board of Administration that members of the faculty are required not to leave their teaching work until the need for them is met or they are right for men who are able to go to the fields. The people of Kansas do not care just now how the operators and miners settle their grievances, especially since they have refused to arraign them in the federal government. But the people of Kansas do expect to get coal, and they do not intend to freeze while warring minority groups are settling their difficulties. There are a number of reasons why they remember that the federal government and the state are still sovereignty.
In the meantime I will to stay out of the fight because I am an English instructor and happen to know the difference between a comma and a semicolon.
And the breaking of the police strike in Boston as well as the volunteer work of our men, with whom most of us would rather be than in comfort while they fight for us, is a sign that the state still exists for the benefit of its people and not for any single class.

BASKET BALL COACH CALLS FOR MATERIAI
Coach Schlademann Starts Pre paratory Work Out With Large Squad
9 "K" Men out for Varsity
Dr. Allen and Adrian Lindsey Will Be In Charge Of Freshmen
With the basket ball season on call goes out from the athletic department for Varsity material, a large squad is out going through some easy workouts preparatory to going into training for the season. There are nine "K" men out: Bunn, Laslett, Lonborg, Harms, Frederick Miller, Feller, Bennett and E. Uhlraub. The cool shank training will be the regular practice, will not prevent it. Practice for the present will be at 4:30 on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
Coach Schadlemann will go to Kansas City Friday to meet with the regular Missouri Valley Conference, to arrange the schedule for the season. Coach Schadlemann will have charge of the Varsity training.
Dr. F. C. Allen will send out a call for freshman aspirants to basket ball fame this week, and hopes to have a team that can win the tournament. The basketball will be taught to the freshmen, so that they may step into the shoes of the Varsity next year. The first year men will be handled by Doctor Allen and Adrian Lindsay.
Coaches plan to keep the entire number of men out for basket ball on the squads, as they find the practice easier. The team is more harmful than beneficial.

We pulled into Pittsburgh about 4:30. The inhabitants were lined up en masse along the last few miles to view the soldiers. They just looked among themselves—few waved, and among them the train replied—orders.
The K. U. miners left this morning for Scammon, where with two or three non-union men they are to operate a mine two miles from town. They are the only crew to completely man a mine.
In spite of the miscellaneous garb, the miners' gang is a well drilled bunch. Captain Wint Smith found an opening in the corner and wett. Wint was worried last night on account of the speed with which the blankets disappeared, A.E. carrying them in the bunch, and some of the ex-offenders are carrying their gats

The Junior Prom will be given January 16, if the coal shortage does not result in the closing of the Uni-
tity. The Uni-ty is also obligated by Bill Wya, managers, this month.
Tentative plans for the securing of the largest orchestra that ever played at a Hill party were announced by Mr. Bauman, who has just returned from Kansas City where he attempted to secure the services of the Muehlenbach eighteen-piece orchestra. Some of the decorative work and the programs are already in the process of preparation, according to Mr. Bauman.
The student interest committee will decide this week on the price of the party, which is the largest and most pretentious of the school year.
Seniors who attended the Junior Prom last year, and have their receipts for tickets, are to be admitted free this year, and those who attend this year will receive a receipt which will admit them to next year's party.
The prom managers are discussing a new manner of handling a crowd as large as can be gotten through the doors of the gymnasium, so that music may be going on constantly and everyone can dance without the usual confusion that generally attends the large parties.

Professors Disagree on Solution to Heat Problem
"Is it possible and feasible to make a substitute coal?" In Europe during the war a substitute coal was manufactured from old paper and a solution of salt water compressed in the form of briquettes. The K. U. chemistry professors say this is possible.
"The only paper really useful is this respect," said Professor Dains "would be the ordinary newspaper and other papers of a similar quality. This paper is much more expensive and magazines contains a great deal of talc, magnesium or clay which gives it smooth surface necessary for sharply defined printing. Of course this paper is an ash which makes it totally useless for fuel purposes."
Professor Daima thinks that the only practical method of utilizing paper as fuel would be to save the ordinary wood. The result is that it burns and almanacs instead of burning them.
"It it isn't a question." mid. Mr. Rowland, "of finding a substitute for coal, but of getting the coal out of the mills. It seems to me that moving the whiteworms coal problem is for the people to go down and get the coal themselves."
F. E. Rowland quite agreed with Professor Dains but could not see the use of hunting around for a substitution; he was plenty of cobal in the mines.
in the alley. It is his opinion that as much heat can be gotten from burning them in in a folded packet in the oven, it will provide a suitable combination of manner and salt.

Rumors are rife in this camp that the guard will go to Mexico at once, and after the strike. None of the boys object to spending the winter in the south; so the rumor is meeting with a favorable reception.

Grand Jour to Inquire Whether Coal Barons Violated Lever Act
OPERATORS ARE NEXT TO BE INVESTIGATED
Charge Production Stopped
Report Operators Did Not Produce in Summer When Miners Were Willing
Indianapolis, Dec. 4 — A federal jury has been called for next Monday morning to investigate charges that coal operators are in league with the miners in a conspiracy to violate the Clean Air Act. Attorney Slack announced today.
It was reported that the real basis for the government's action was information that the operators did not know what had happened and they could have done so. The miners were said to have been willing and ready to work at that time, and the government action on the theory that the government was aware of the Lev law by stopping production.
Complaint has been made by the miners that the power of the government was being directed against them and being taken against the operators.
During the summer, coal operators' advertisements appeared in the newspapers urging coal users to buy their coal early, as a coal shortage impended. These advertisements, it is possible, may be one of the bases for the government's allegation that coal shortage impeded, and yet did not take steps they might have been expected to take to prevent the shortage.

Government Has 25,000 Men And Two Cruisers Ready to Strike
Washington, Dec. 4—The United States has 25,000 men and two cruisers within easy striking distance of Mexico, ready to go into action should hostilities follow to threatened severance of diplomatic relations, it was learned today at the War and Navy departments.
Reports that naval reserves had been ordered to get ready for duty were denied at the Navy Department. The War Department has the usual set up-to-date plans for invasion of Mexico, but these were prepared by the War College as part of its routine work.
The 25,000 available troops are attached to the aviation establishment but there are also units of infantry, field artillery and cavalry. In addition, there are approximately 14,000 United States Marines who Guard could be called. The United States cruiser Dolphin is stationed in the Gulf of Mexico at Tampaio, and the Niagara at Puerto Cortes. Three destroyers are now going up the coast of Central America to join the Pacific fleet. They are attached to Guantanamo, about to follow.
The strength of the army in the United States today is less than 180, 000 men. The War Department has estimated it would take 450,000 troops three years to completely "pacify" Mexico.
Woman's Rights Recognized By Republican Leaders
New York, Dec. 4. "—No distinction must be made between men and women in politics," Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican National Committee, declared in a speech last night at a banquet given him by the national committee and the Republican Woman's State Executive Committee.
Hays said the Republican party would offer to women everything offered to men. Among other future policies of the party were a national budget system; federal regulation, not ownership of industries; aid to the unemployed; anti-discrimination labor; and strong anti-Bolshevik legislation.

Prohibition Association To Meet at Des Moines
The eighth national convention of the Inter-Collegiate Prohibition Association will be held at Des Moines, January 5, 1920, immediately following the Student Volunteer Convention in that city.
This Convention will bring together representative students and professors from all important institutions to consider the liquor problem abroad, to gain a vision of the responsibility of American colleges to other colleges in the country, and for an extension of the college prohibition movement to all other lands.
The morning and afternoon sessions will be devoted to business and inspirational programs, and the Nu-merical Contest will occupy the evening.
All delegates to the Student Volunteer Convention are urged to remain over one day longer, and others are invited to make a special trip.
ROADS TO EXPEDITE SHIPMENTS OF COAL
Danger of Railway Strike in Pittsburg District is Believed Averted
Pittsburg, Kan., Dec. 4—Danger of a railroad strike in Kansas has been averted for the present at least, it was believed today, with announcement by Koch Industries, that mined by volunteers will be moved promptly. Kansas railroads have not notified Governor Allen that movement has been mined by volunteers will be expedited.
Five cars of coal which the Santa Fe switchman at Fontenne refused to move yesterday were switched to main lines today. Trains carrying voluntary cargo, 80 miles away, Crews employed at Fontenne have been transferred to other points and other crews substituted, it was announced. Reports from the Wilson mine said that operations were under way. No crews or operations has been received today.
Missouri to Take Over Mines
Jefferson City, Mo., Dec. 4—An official proclamation will be issued today by Governor Gardner taking over coal mines of the state with the view to not leave the area are not set to work by tomorrow no, it was announced here today.
A start on the part of the state t work mikes in Barton County will bade tomorrow afternoon, the governor stated.
"The question of compensation to mine operators will not be considered at this time," Governor Sandraki said. "No receiverships will be asked."
"Conditions are desperate in Missouri," continued the governor. "I do not intend that they shall continue I have instructed Adjutant Genera Roberts, who is the military army of the state in doing so, if this step becomes necessary."
Geologists Need More Room Says Dr. Haworth
"Miners and geologists need more room," said Dr. Erasmus Haworth of Haworth Hall. "We expect to add two more stories over the south wing. The south window of my office will be made into a door, and the office made into a hallway. The office will be made too tough to carry two more stories. I saw to that when the building was being constructed."
The south wing contains the mining laboratories and state work offices. "The addition will at least do no harm to the general appearance of the building, but it will improve it, because it will all be one height," said Doctor Haworth.
*This needs to be done as soon as possible.* We expect it next year perhaps. The new part will be used in the library, class rooms and offices.*

Faculty Meeting Decides Students Must Attend Two Years Before Starting Law Study
In Effect, September 1921
New Step Taken to Increase The Standard of The School
Every candidate for admission to the University of Kansas School of Law must have completed two full years of college work, according to a bulletin at a meeting of the faculty of the School of Law Tuesday night.
"This step was taken in order to increase the standard of the K. U. law school, so as to include in its body more mature and better educated students," said Dr. William L. Roberts, acting head of the School (f. law).
The new requirements for admission do not go into effect until the fall of 1921, and thus affect only the students who enter as freshmen next fall. Copies of the resolution were sent to high schools over the state. The resolution, which was passed unanimously, follows:
Resolved, with the academic year 1921-22, the requirement for admission of 30 hours credit in one course or two courses or Sciences of the University of Kansas, or its equivalent in some other university or approved college, in addition to graduation from a four-year degree. The maximum number of 30 hours credit instead of 30 hours.
Former Student Relates Her Journalistic Career
Miss Alice Bowley, A. B., 178, has just given up her position in Washington on account of her mother's health and is spending a few days in Lawrence. While in the University, she has been involved in journalism and since her graduation has been connected with The Nation's Business, a magazine published by the United States Chamber of Commerce under the editorship of Mr. Merle Thorp, former head of the department of Journalism at the University.
She was manager of the mail promotion department which included publicity in the lines of advertising, circulation, and news stand sales.
"There is so much opportunity given to try out and find the place for which one feels best fitted," said Mia Bowly, "that I consider my year's experience equal to a post-graduate course in journalism.
Students Raised Fund Of $1,900 for Y. M. C. A.
"More than $1,900 was collected from University students in the Y.M.C.A. drive last month," said Edwin Price, associate secretary of the K. U. Y.M.C.A. this morning. "Contributions are still coming in, however, and we are working within hailing distance of the quote set for the students, at least."
The total set for the drive was $2,500. This amount should have been collected easily, according to Price, if all the students had been solicited. Only 800 contributed, and less than a thousand were visited by the collectors. The average for each collection was higher than aunt, both in total payment, and amounted to $900.
The faculty drive, which is still in progress, has netted $600 from the seventy-five members solicited.
Heat Problem is Solved For Landladies by Mayor

KEEP THE STREAM FLOWING
THURSDAY, DEC. 4, 1919
The humanitarian spirit of men is shown by the willingness with which the volunteers from the University of Kansas have gone to work in the Kansas coal fields. In a snow storm which brought, with it freezing weather, one hundred and thirty university students, after spending their first night in tents, washed their faces in ice cold water and lined up with lawyers, bank clerkes and men from every walk of life, to go to work in the strip pits and mine coal—that the critical coal situation may be relieved.
They have undertaken the task with an edor that is unmistakable. Their motto is, "let's go." They won the umderation of a boss when he noticed the fine spirit with which they were working and said: "They don't do thing this way in the union." No complaint has been heard as to their meals or living conditions, as they declare that they are there to work and get the coal and not kick.
Appreciation must be shown those men who are making this sacrifice, that people may live comfortably, and that industries may carry on in their usual manner. There are no slackers in this crowd and every man is doing his best. But some of these men will not be able to spare a great deal of time from their business. Some will give out under the strain. The stream of volunteers must be kept flowing.
ONE FAIR VIRGINIAN
The British House of Commons, the "Mother of parliament," is taking very kindly to its first woman member. That Lady Nancy Astor is American born, hailing from Virginia, where she was known as Miss Nannie Lange-horne, is doubtless one great reason for her success, and the record she may make will be watched with much interest on this side.
If she fulfills her promise, which is altogether likely, it will also have a pronounced influence upon the place which American women take in our own politics. Both Lady Aster and Miss Jennifer Rankin will probably have a number of women to keep them company before many years have passed, and our British lady has the work of demonstrating the repeated assertion that the wife and mother may serve the government of her country quite as acceptably as the sister who has no family cares.
Lady Aster pointed with pride during her canvass to her six children, and the experience she has gained through their strenuous requirements could not fail to be a valuable asset in the campaign which has given her so fine a majority. That she has
be elected to fill the place of her husband, Major, the Honorable Waldorf Astor, who has been elevated to the peerage through the death of Viscous Astor of Hever Hall, is another evidence of unusual strength of character and confidence in her own ability.
Her philanthropic work in her division—the Sutton division of Plymouth—has been a strong factor in her achievement, and her quick wit and unconventional methods attracted much commendation. The votes of women were widely insured by her espousal of anti-liquor legislation, and she has declared herself unequivocally against the profiteers and Bohemians.
The Commoners have set aside one of their pleasant rooms for her individual use which will be known as a "boudier sitting-room" and bear the legend "For Women Only," and she may also have if she likes a smoking room (the fates forfend!) a library, a reading room, a tea, and a dining room. Also she is likely to wear her hat all the time in sessions, as the members are required to keep the head covered when rising to a point of order. No disorder will hardly escape her, and being an American she will not fail to see that her head-gear is unusually fit and becoming. The most important issues may be determined by Lady Astor's hat.
PEACE TIME PROFITEERING
Why not wage war on peace time proffesers as well as on war time proffesors? And if the proffesors are not evident they should be brought to light. Take the case of the sugar industry, for example. The production of sugar from both beet and cane fields this year differs little from former years. Yet at present the nation's supply of sugar is unusually low and the price of sugar is threatening to go still higher.
More over, in the past nine months of this year one-fourth again as much sugar has been imported into the country until two weeks of any previous year.
The only explanation for such a circumstance is that someone or several persons have taken it upon himself or themselves to profiteer off the American public. Why not find these persons and ostracise them with others who have proven themselves un-American.

Now that the K. U. Band has finished the largest part of its work for the school this year the students and more importantly the parents have credit has not been forthcoming yet? Surely the student body appreciates the work which the band did during the football season although there was a lack in the band and the athletic department.

Editor. The Kansan
At the first of the football season the band threatened to strike at the Missouri game if the faculty did not give its members credit. A petition was presented to the president of the Senate by a committee representing the band asking for credit. The Senate referred it to the Deans of the schools and nobody has heard of the petition in one case. The School of Fine Arts was charged with broad-minded enough to grant the band credit. However, none of the band men is a member of the Fine Arts school.
Even with the football season passed the band will continue to spend three or four hours every week at rehearsals drawing near and the students will want the band there to put some "pee" into the roots an then the old subject of credit will come up again. Just the old story all ever in the same old way.
Why not either turn down the band petition for credit or grant them credit and quit precrastinating. D. A.
Editor, The Kansan:
Does anyone know why there are so many more men students to be found in church on Sundays than women students? One answer of course is that there are more men than women students in the hill but that does not account for the fact that there are about five or six men to on woman at church services.
Most students do not realize when they are missing by not getting into the habit of attending church or Sunday School regularly. Many who are at least fairly good attendants at home while they are in school but that is not a poorest kind of an excuse. They instead are missing the chance to learn things in a religious way from men who are really deep thinkers and whose opinions they may respect and from whom they may learn things that they never had a chance to learn before or to be able to again. When we are in the University moment why not get all possible out of it. Besides there is certainly a satisfaction in getting up Sunday morning and getting out to Sunday School and starting the day right for it is a habit those who get interested and get into it of the thing are more than amply repasit in personal satisfaction.
And surely it is time that the women students aroused themselves and questioned as to why they are allowing the men to make so much the best showing in this, the highest type of endeavor.

NEED MORE COLLEGE WOMEN IN INDUSTRY
Industrial Expert Says Best Per sonnel Officers Come From Schools
"There is an ever-increasing need for college women in industry," said Miss Nell M. Reeder, industrial expert, before an audience of about one hundred students, Wednesday at 4:30 P.M. in Fraser Hall.
Miss Reeder claimed that women make he most efficient personnel officers in plants in which the majority of the employees are women. The personnel officer, she explained, hires workers from a certain set of cards when they leave or are discharged. He is a clearing house between the employer and the employee, and makes a particular study of the working conditions and environment of the workers from the standpoint of the employer and the welfare of the employees.
The best personnel officers are the ones who have had technical training in school, practical experience from industry, and are natural leaders of people.
"The lowest paid personnel officer I have placed," said Miss Reeder, "receives $1800 a year, and I always ask for a salary of $2400 for any woman I am able to help into an executive position."
Miss Reefer is particularly interested in women, but she said that the need for competent formen and superintendents, who have the interest of humanity at heart, is very urgent. "The day is past when a foreman rules all he sees with an iron hand," said Miss Reefer.

Not all the railroads are to be electrified at once, but a section of track some 6,000 kilometers in length is to be started on, and this includes a section of the railway to the French frontier between Turin and Modane is already electrified. When the new power stations can be built, and the conduits laid, it is intended to utilize the power for many industries, a concern of engineers in places to come will have a far-reaching effect on Italian industry.

Austrian Debts Payable In Depreciated Krone
London, (By Mail)—The methods of dealing with Austrian diction to British subjects, as arranged for in the peace treaty are causing considerable dissatisfaction in commercial circles here, as it is contended that Austria is being treated much more leniently than was the case with Germany.
Under the German treaty, German debts are to be liquidated at the pre-war rate of exchange through a clearing-house committee set up by the Board of Trade. The Austrian treaty, however, decides that Austrian debt shall be collected by the creditors alone without government assistance.
To secure the University the city of Lawrence offered an endowment of $15,000 and forty acres of ground adjoining the city for a campus. Emporia offered eighty acres. The fight was the most memorable ever fought in a Kansas legislature. The first vote was a tie.
Australian trade belts due to British firms amounts to about nine million pounds, and it is contended that this will reduce the burden to heavy losses to British creditors.
Creditors will have to take payment at the present rate of exchange which considerably favors Austrian debtors for goods supplied before the war, and creditors from Austria may take eighty per cent of the debt, as far as British creditors are concerned. In the case of German banks, the German government undertook to make good any loss caused by the decline of the price of coal, or to severely wrot that no such provision was made for them in the Austrian treaty. The Austrian trader with debts to collect in England will be in a happier position, as he can obtain higher prices, or about times the present value of his Austrian krone.

Norwegian Actress and Company to Present Three Plays
Seat sales for the iben plays to be presented by Madame Bignon Gymnast and her company Friday and Saturday in Robinson Gymnastium is very gratifying, according to Prof. Mairklyn Lynn of the English department.
A rush for reservations greeted the opening of the seat sale this morning. An hour after reservations began most of the seats were taken for "The Rush" Friday night. At 1 o'clock only a dozen seats for this first play remained unreserved at the Fraser check stand. All season tickets had been taken. Reservations for the two seats had been made and attendees continue at the check stand Friday.
Madame Hammer and her company appeared before a large $8 and enthusiastic audience in Manhattan Wednesday evening, according to a telephone call from the office of Prof. Arthur MacMurray of the department of public speaking.
a understanding exists that Madame Hammer will present the plays alone as readings. This is an eronemous ad Madame Hammer is bringing with her a full company of ex-tenants, with its own crew and staging.
"Madame Hammer and her husband who take the leading roles in the plays were exceptionally fine, and Ms. Dudley report," said Professor MacMurray.
Madame Hammer came to Manhattan from the University of Nebraska where her production was most successful.
At the University of Wisconsin, where she had but a single engagement the first time she played, so charmed her audience that she has been brought back since for further plays.
Madame Hammer and her company are expected to arrive in Lawrence Friday morning.

King Baseball May Lose First Place to Football
In the matter of attendance, at least baseball is being crowded for the first place by football.
Sixteen of the season's big gridiron battles drew crowds of close to 400,000. It is estimated conservatively that the sport every Saturday afternoon.
Some of the big games and the at tendance were:
Cornell-Dartmouth — 25,000; Colgate-Dartmouth — 20,000; Penn-Penn State — (in rain); Princeton-Harvard — 15,500; Yale-Brown — 25,000; Pittsburgh-Washington and Jefferson — 20,000; Notre Dame West Point — 10,000; Yale-Princeton 65,000; Syracuse-Calgary — 65,000; Penn-Pittsburgh 25,000; Williams-Amerhst — 12,000; Ohio-Union — 10,000;College-10,000; Army-Syracuse — 18,000; Michigan-Chicago — 20,000; Michigan-Ohio — 20,000; Illinois-Illinois — 18,000; Northwestern-Wisconsin — 5,000; Kansas-Missouri — 13,000.
When the immense Yale bowl with its seating capacity of close to 70,000 was built, some of the skyclothes recombined for the first time in the test. But it had proven inadequate for the crowds attending the Big Three battles. Stadiums to be erected in the future may provide for 100,000 seats, and it will continue its growing popularity.
Even high school football was productive of bumper crops of attendance. At West Sommerville, Mass., 15,000 turned out to see the Sommerville-Medford high school game. The crowd poured out of the field in such numbers that the game had to be called at the end of the second period.

University Women Appeal For Gifts to Send to Poor Children
Would you like to be a child Christmas Day and receive no gifts, candy or fun? Can you imagine yourself with nothing to remind you that the best season of the year had come?
Miss Nathana Clyde, c13, who is doing Christian Americanizing work among the foreigneers of the Kansas City packing house district, knows many children and adults for whom Christmas this year will be merely a celebration of life. He is dark than other days—people who have not nounced to eat and wear.
The University women of Prof. L. E. Sisson's Sunday school class of the Baptist Church plan a Christmas barrel for the people in Miss Clyde's district. "It will be real sport and loyalty to Christmas spirit and meaning to help fill that barrel," one of the women said today. "If every University man and weed will contribute to the people of Lawrence will contribute to the people of Lawrence will become barrels." Good nuts will be in place. A can of mother's preserves, a box of candy, or nuts will be appreciated.
Berlin (By Mail)—The latest development in the German industrial world is the production of rustless steel.
This product, patented by the Krupp works, is a chrome-nickel-stool alloy, which, besides resisting the corrosive effects of water, can withstand the action of acids. Hence, it is available for such apparatus as surgical instruments, many which had previously to be made of precious metals.
Dentists are experimenting with the rustless steel as a substitute for gold and platinum in artificial teeth and plates.

SIXTY ANSWER CALL FOR EX-SERVICE MEN
Plan to Send Instructors to Help Men With School Work
For Coal Emergency Only
Men Enlisting Must Furnish Owner Uniforms and Toilet Articles
Sixty xe-service men answered the call of Chancellor Strong to meet in Little Theater, Green Hall, Thursday afternoon to confer with Major Samuel G. Clarke a former army officer and Lawrence business man, concerning the national company for guard duty in the coal fields Southern Kansas.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 5, 1019.
Major Clarke has been authorized by the state adjutant-general to recruit and take charge of a provisional company of seventy-five men, subject to immediate duty in guards or other duties that present emergency. At the close of the meeting yesterday, a dozen or more men enlisted immediately in the company, with many others considering the matter. About thirty signified their intention for the afternoon at Major Clarke's headquarters at 1033 Massachusetts street.
"Enlistment in this provisional company is for the coal emergency only," said the state adjutant-general in a letter which Major Clazko read to the men; "assurance is given all officers and men recruiting in the company that immediate discharges will be granted as soon as the emergency has passed."
MEN NEEDED BADLY
Men enlisting must furnish their own uniforms and toilet articles. All equipment, board, and housing will be furnished by the state. Require men to work with the men, and in addition it is thought by local authorities that they will receive further recompense through special provision by the state legislature. No physical examination required for entrance into the company.
ENLIGHTENMENT FOR EMERGENCY ONLY
"It is evident that many of the former service men do not realize the need to regaranda at the mines," said Colonel McLean, who only thirty men have responded to the call, while seventy-five are needed. A message from Colonel McLean, acting adjutant general of the state, which I received this morning, asked that the men already enlisted in the minefields be taken. The need of able-bodied men is acute, according to Colonel McLean. Many of the men who volunteered for work in the mines are finding it too strenuous, and some of them are being enlisted in the rugged companies."
Guards are needed as badly as miners, according to Governor Allen, and men who have had previous suits to join the provisional company.
In accordance with previous announcements in the Kansan, credita for class work will be granted the men during their absence. It is also the intention of the University Admi-
nmental Department to send a number of professors down with the men to help them with their school work while they are off duty.
Allen's Plan a Good One Declares Prof. Haworth
"People should not allow a small part of the public to upset conditions as the coal miners have done," said Dr. Erasmus Haworth today. "I most heartily agree with Governor Allen's plan as outlined in Wednesday's Kaman, for a court to settle the case." He should be made to answer for throwing the burden on the public as they have done."
"I have noticed for many years that all the striking and agitation is caused by less than five per cent of the population. They should not be allowed to make the general public suffer.
"There are four classes of American people that should realize their duty to the public. These are persons employed in transportation industries, those employed in the mining of fuels, executive officers, such as police; and United States mail agents. I have been writing conditions for many years, and I believe the time will come very soon when these industries so necessary to the public will be safely controlled."
Coal Saving Intrigues University Authorities
The closing of Spooner at 9:30 o'clock is only one of the many efforts being made to conserve the University's coal supply as much as possible. All meetings of the faculty have been postponed indefinitely or arranged to take place in the afternoon. All meetings in Myers Hall that time may be reserved or at any time that saves on lights.
All out-of-town speakers and entertainers with the exception of Madame Borgny Hammer and her company will appear in the daytime. The library in Green Hall closes with the summer, but that with these precautions the University will be able to run until the holidays.
NOVEMBER'S WEATHER WAS NEARLY NORMAI
Slect Storm Last of Month Moss
Severe—Ice Remained
For Days
November weather at the University of Kansas was remarkably close to the average for the 51 years the station has been in operation here. The temperature was completed by the University Weather Observatory. The mean temperature for the month, 41.9 degrees, was but 0.16 degree below the normal, and the range from the maximum of 70 degrees of the minimum of 10 was close to the average.
Rainfall was nearly an inch less than normal, and the snowfall was 0.7 inch less than normal, but it is to be observed that in more than thirty of fifty-one years no snow fell in November. Fourteen inches of snow in November, 1874, brings up the average.
The most notable storm of the past month was that beginning the evening of November 27 and continuing for thirty six hours in the form of storm, or rather a rain that froze when the coldest cold kept the ice from melting.
Prevaling winds for the month were from the northwest and south west, and the "run of wind" was 10,366 miles.
BSEN PLAYER FINDS AMERICA INTERESTING
Madame Hammer Declares Play Wright Leads Away From Commercialism
"America is wonderful, there are such big opportunities here; we have been so cordially received everywhere," said Madame Hammer, who arrived today to present three Ibn Beesn plays for University audiences.
To talk to Madame Hammer is ill speaking with an old friend; she can interested in everything Ameri can. She arrived with Mr. Hammer shortly after noon today, from Manhattan, somewhat fatigued after two plays yesterday, but enthusiastic over the reception they had received there
A large basket of yellow chrysaan themums testified to the appreciation of the Manhattan people.
"We want America to appreciate the immensity of Dasen, his plays afford such an abundant opportunity to think, and get away from the commercialistic concerns, which are so dominant here. Ibsen has given women an opportunity such as no other writer, except Shakespeare, has done so to touch the dulls which we are playing tonight, has done so much to make the world better, it still lives, it will always live."
Madame Hammer was trained for her dramatic work in the theater which Ibsen founded.
Army Training Creates Skillful Game Hunter
Boston, Dec. 5.-Hundreds of former soldiers are having their first thrills of hunting in the woods and mountains of New England this season, according to game wardens and license clerks.
(United Press)
These officials say that with their knowledge of firearms grained in the army, many men who never hunted before are enthusiastically on the trail of game this year. The increase in the number of hunters and their skills has led to an increase in the unusually large kill of deer, moose and bears, the haul being particularly heavy in Northern Maine and New Hampshire.
COMMITTEE FRAMES
NEW CONSTITUTION
New Document Intended to Bind
Men Together Under
New Name
Provides Self-Government
Charter Is Submitted to University Senate for Later Consideration
To bind the men of the University into a workable system of self-government under the name of the "Associated Men of the University of Kansas" is the aim of the new constitution of the organization, discussed Tuesday night at the regular meeting of the University Senate.
The Constitutional committee of the Men's Student Council, composed partly of students and partly of faculty members, drew up the constitution for submitting to the Council and the Senate, and the Council was to have read it and passed on it Weil's night, and The Queen that John Montclair, president, and several of the members are among the volunteer miners now in the Pittsburgh coal fields, no meeting was held.
The University Senate, however will act at its regular meeting next Tuesday night on the constitution At the meeting last Tuesday night the constitution was read and discussed, but pressure of time, and other important affairs prevented any action being taken.
REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE
ON STUDENT GOVERNMENT.
The special committee appointed by the Chancellor and composed of the Senate, the Men's Student Council, and other students, authorized by the senate to accept larger participation by men students of the University in the regulation and control of matters concerning men students only, has had a number of meetings at which good interest is generated. The situations it has become apparent that it is advisable for the Senate to delegate the control of certain of the affairs of the men students to an organized government institution appointed to manage the best interests of the University and to secure an organization of students that will be responsible for student affairs and conduct. Accordingly, a constitution has been framed by the committee which competes with the men students into a definite government body to be known as the Associated Men of the University of Kansas. The committee therefore offers the following resolution for the增大 participation by men students and reeems its adoption;
In order to encourage and foster self-government, to promote a loyal interest in the University and to effect a responsible organization among the men students of the University, be it
2. To have control of all parades and rallies and to make and carry out proper plans for such parades and rallies.
Resolved, that whenever the Constitution herewith submitted shall have been adopted by a two-thirds vote of a majority of the resident men students in a special election called for that purpose, the Senate delegate to the Associated Men of University to vote on the motion 1. To foster University traditions for the men students of the University.
3. To have control (jointly with the Executive Council of the W.S.G.A., except as provided in 6 below) of all student social affairs, including Varsity dances and all other dances giving organizations charging an admission fee.
7. To make all proper rules and regulations for the carrying out of such activities, each such rules and regulations shall not conflict with any regulation of any one.
4. To make provisions whereby their Student Council can call meetings at any time outside of regular hours and consider matters of general concern.
6. To make their Student Council responsible for the financial management of all student affairs for the control of which they make regular

Obtain Many Fossils For Geology Museum
Many new fossils for the Geology Museum are being obtained by Raymond C. Moore who went to Texas Tuesday. An oil company there has a large collection in their Geological Museum and has formed different formations of strata in Texas.
The company will pay all of Mr. Moore's expenses and give him at least one specimen of each different species he identifies for them. In return for this he will identify and classify the entire collection, Mr. Moore with a trunk full of indexes of fossils and several large books.
K. U. MINE VOLUNTEERS DIG THE MOST COAI
Big Freight Cars Filled Up Quickly by Amateur Jayhawk Miners
The "K. U." Mine sometimes called the Wilson Mine, in the Pittsburg district, which is manned by the forty-one volunteers who left with the first of the quota in answer to Governor Allen's call, has been the site of the largest service so far, according to a special dispatch to the Kansas City Star.
"It's surprising how fast one of those big freight cars fill up," remarked Heyou Boutch, a mining engineer, who operates the locomotive. "We had that truck filled before we were well started. If the rest are as easy as this we will soon have Kaucasus air with coal for the rest of the winter."
The K. U. volunteers have a locomotive. This enables them to remove larger quantities of coal from the mine and transport it to the carer to keep up with the cars. The other units are using miles, and find that no amount of fuel can greatly accelerate their speed, as they have not yet reached and read the call of Governor Allen.
"Yes, and if you get down out of that cab and earn an honest living with a shovel you would find out what was filed," R. E. Morrison that was filed." Few freight cars with coil sitting on a cushion and pulling a throttle."
"A fine lot of good your education has done you," John Gerry's, the firefighter who is a law student. "Spent all your life going to school and then have to earn your living abusing somebody else." My aim, I ever loved was on my own.
It was Wint Smith talking. Wint president of the senior class, football player and all-around athlete. Besides that he is the straw boss on and on to keep the coal moving to the tipple and the waiting freight cars.
"Shake a leg, there you birds what do you think this is, an executive session or a dreamwalker's convenence and get those cars out of the way!"
The little engine squeaked its way down the track, the small, blunt-nosed 2-track cars bumping behind it.
Washington, Dec. 5.—More than a million workers are employed but part time or are completely idle as a result of the coal strike. This estimate, made in Washington today, is considered extremely conservative.
Dozen Strip Mine Now in Operation
Exact figures are unobtainable Railroad administration reports show that in some sections whole communities have been covered by evacuation because of the coal strike.
Tired Out by Studies Wears Nighty in Snow
The ware loss is estimated at more than two million dollars daily. The number of those affected is beyond all estimate. Thousands of those affected are women. Chicago is the hardest hit. More than 400,000 persons there are affected, it is beaten up by unauthorized steel workers are laid off because of the closing of the big furnaces.
Chicago, Dec. 5. — Miss Marion Barron, Grimalo, Oka, co-ed, who was found wandering in Jackson Park, clad only in a night gown, was reported considerably improved today. She was suffering because of overwork from her studies as Chicago University, clamassated said.
Her parents were enroute to Chicago today, according to university authorites.
SENATE GROUP HAPPY
OVER TREATY DEFEAT
League of Nations had no Chance Because of Wilson's Insistence—Johnson
Senator Johnson Tells Audience of Reasons for Fight for Reservations
Three Groups in Senate
"The one group in the United States senate that is happy over the defeat of the peace treaty is the inconceivable group led by Senator Johnson, Senator Borah, and Senator Reed"—said the executive committee of the Senate in his address before the students of the University in Fraser Chapel this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. "This group of course in the one that is hothole to the Senate," he added. "We have anything to do with the peace treaty or the League of Nations.
"Because of President Wilson's insistence for the Peace Treaty and the League of Nations without a change, the treaty had not the slightest chance of being ratified at this session of the United Nations, although I believe that President Wilson is thoroughly convinced that his Leo Guepé plan and the treaty is the best that can be drawn for the United States, but in face of the opposition that it has met, he has been unwilling to compromise. In his refusal to do anything by any hand of people that has made happiness his excuses in the Senate.
DEMOCRATS FOR RESERVATIONS
"If the majority of the Democratic party had voted the way that they really wanted to, they would have supported a ban on a substance which will be the same as the Lodge amendment," Mr. Johnson said. "Upon the request of Mr. Wilson that his party stand firm for the treaty without reservation, theDemocrats are against it and the treaty without reservations, does not have the slightest chance of ratification. When it is put to a vote again, I believe that enough of the democratic party who have only taken a mild stand for the treaty will support it for the treaty with reservations.
"The United States Senate at present is composed of three distinct groups. The first is the irreconcilable group which is so happy over the failure to ratify the treaty. The second composed of the men who are the representatives of the Judiciary by Hitchcock, Walsh of Montana and Underwood who will fight to the last for the ratification of the treaty without a change. The third group is composed of the majority of the senators—some sixty-five in number—balf reconstitute and half demurate, who is for reservations especially in the factions of Neibous covenant and in the foe of the peace treaty itself.
WHITE HOUSE RULES
WHITE HOUSE REDEEM
"During the four months debate in the set of candidates, we worked among the other senators trying to put a two-thirds majority try the treaty was put to a vote. Because of the instructions from the White House, and their desire to follow the president, the Democrats would have none of the reservations, no matter how mild. And yet while the reservations were a real compromise between the mild and the stringent variety of reservations and received full support by nineteen republicans and the one democrat Reed, who refused to have anything to do with the treaty.
"The reason for the fight for the reservations for the treaty and the League of Nations is because the leaders of the reservationists are convinced that without the Americanization of the treaty, and without the documents, the document will be the destruction of the American institutions. The men who have taken a stand against the treaty as it is now, Borah, Lodge, Wadsworth, Reed, Kellogg and other less prominent, would rather resign their seats in the senate rather than admit to which their convictions in regard to the treaty and the League of Nations.

Long Beard Club Organized
Men With Longest Whiskers to be Elected President at End of Two Weeks
By W. G. Heron, 'c21, and O. P. HILL, 'e20
Pittsburgh, Dec. 4. **Dipart. of Education**
in tents with Sibley stores keeping them warm tonight are the forty-three K. U. men who came to the coal fields with the first volunteers. Actual work in Carbon No. 2 Mine started Wednesday morning on an early K. U. crew. Monday night the crew, under Wind Smith, was quartered in the Pitttburgh Business College, where the Jayhawks attracted special attention by "Pat-ter" E. Knight and his men also "Put K. U. First" in drawing blankets and supplies, and they lettered the legend on the frosted windows of their temerary quarters.
Tuesday morning soon after Ad Lindsey and his nirty recruits arrived the First Company K. U. Miners, entrained for south of SCammon, where the Carbon mines are situated. On the train the men voted unanimously that the first man to wear wouldforfeit a days' wages to the moss fund of the company, in which to which they are attached for rations, "Pap" Barter paid the first line, Warren Woody and "Fat" Pedroja paid similar lines for bathing
A Long Beard Club was organized. The man with the longest whisker at the end of the second week will be elected president of the club. Wint Smith seems to have the best chance for the office.
Tuesday afternoon the K. U. crew won the football championship of the camp by defeating the Aggies 8 to 10 after Washburn and the Anglers had battled to a tie. Gerety at end used the toe hold to such good advantage that his efficiency cost the K. U. team several penalties.
The crew has been assigned places and divided into skilled and unassigned laborers. "Pat" Podrogi is in assignee B. Scott, who heads an Emile White head has the shovels.
The miners have had considerable fun with the K. U. students in the guard. Particularly did they enjoy seeing "Ferdits" Gothic carrying a crescent tie and standing guard on a truck of provisions. Dewey Shilton, Pete Underwood and Fred Glaser were other students who drew their creations from the miners. Verne Church did not join his outfit until Tuesday morning, and escaped the early duty duty in establishing camp.

Seventy-Four Seconds to Knock Out Beckett
Seventy-four seconds inside a quarter circle in Holborn Stadium in London Thursday night was sufficient to decide the next opponent Jack tempey will meet for the heavy-boxing championship of the world.
Georges Carpentier, heavyweight champion of France, knocked out Joe Beckett, champion of England, with a right swing to the jaw after slightly more than a minute in the ring, during which time the Englishman, favored 7 to 4 in the betting, never had a chance.
During his early ring career, Carpenter grew rapidly from a bantam-weight to a lightweight and bent the European champions in each class as he progressed. He amassed a fortieth minute to $100,000 to $500,000. Most of this money he invested in coal mines near Leem, where he was born, and he lost everything there by the German invasion. During the war Carpenter was conspicuously daring as an aviator. He was frequently commended by lib superior officers, and among the most important victories was the military medal, the highest war honor that can be given to a French soldier.

KINGDOMS AND COAL.
FRIDAY, DEC. 5, 1919
The world is on one big hunt for coal. The stifle of the miners in the United States has brought this nation from a condition of plenty to one of scarcity and is now leading it rapidly to the brink of absolute famine. But cold homes, closed schools, closed industries, have brought us to here in America a taste only of a condition that is chronic in Europe
America clamors for coal during a general strike, but the condition is not beyond relief within a reasonable length of time. Not so in Europe. Central and Southern Europe are hungering, dying for coal, and there is no coal. The situation there has not even the promise of relief.
Germany has signed away to France many of her most valuable coal deposits. Much that she can still mine must go to Belgium and Italy under the terms of the same treaty. The new states in Southern Europe are to continue to want, as a result. Inherited animosities, racial prejudices, hatreds, suspensions and fears, do not beoget coal, and in Europe there are inherited animosities, hatreds, suspicious and fears. Machinery lies idle, production lags, men starve, while governments search in vain for the new staff of life.
The time may come when kings will give their kingdoms for coal, for in the absence of some such barter may be neither kingdoms nor coal.
JAZZLESS DAYS
Jazz is on the wane. France seri-
ously objects to it and it is losing its
popularity in America according to
musicians who favor a different kind
of music.
And what kind of a country will America be without its sympatico and butchered music? Imagine a Junior Prom where the dancers are swaying to the tune of "Old Black Joe" or some equally antiquated selection, each note a distinctive unit in itself. Grandmother's birthday party will be a lively affair compared with a jazzy Prom.
When jazz is eliminated from the musical scheme of things, orchestra players will find it necessary to take up gymnastics work again or some other form of exercise. No longer will they be able to take their walk on the piano or their shoulder exercise on a saxophone. Trombone players may still be excused from gym, but they should be required to blow all their notes in the same direction.
The absence of jazz will be hard on the authors of the latest hits which depend for their popularity on their jazzy setting in a group of rapid fire notes rather than for any meaning of the words. Mothers will
reconstruct the old favorites and the parlor fadist will spend an entertaining evening in the southeast corner while Daughter sings "Annie Laure" without interrupting the original tune.
Yes, jazz is a horrible perverted taste which needs immediate suppression before our taking and singing machines become converted and go on strisce against the artists who prefer their music unadulterated. It's getting into the blood and even our hearts start jazping when a pretty girl sends a smile our direction. In fact so prevalent is the habit that during the last week every student at K. U. has jazzed his way up and down the Hill and between classes.
THE VALUE OF GRIT
Slipping and sliding, three thousand students make their way over the snow and ice-covered sidewalks and up the hill. For every step forward there is a slippery loss and the feet refuse to track steadily forward. Then some kind-hearted person carries his outes through the front door and distributes them on, the tricky sidewalk. From then on, all who pass over that stretch of grit which he has deposited are able to move forward in a straight line without delay.
Some students are badly in need of a similar form of mental grit. Their minds refuse to work in a straight line. Instead they shift from thought to thought without definite direction like a pair of feet climbing Fourth Street over ice bricks. A little mental grit in the form of concentrated purpose would keep their minds from slipping.
SOCIETY FOR SLIPPERY SHOD
Provision should be made by students to dig a net work or construct an elevated, if snow shoes are not available, in case it really snows, for it is apparent that the sidewalks will not be cleaned.
Every walk on the campus is an elongated skating rink of varying smoothness and the person who has no spikes in his shoes or a can in his hand a apt to proceed at times in a manner very unbecoming to college students owing to the pull of gravity and the decreased friction between th bottom of his footwear and the ground. Besides being possibly uncomfortable such a precipitous decline may occasionally be violently embarrassing.
A Society for the Safety of Slipery Shod Students would be a useful addition to our already large group of unnecessary organizations.
THOSE LITTLE TRINGS
THOSE LITTLE THINGS
The honor system prevails in the University library. The reference books are placed there for the benefit of any student who wishes to use them. Those which cannot be checked out must be used by one student at a time. The honor system demands that the student, when through with that book, return it to its regular place for the use of the next student.
Perhaps it is easier to study at home than in the library or more convenient. Or perhaps if the book is misplaced the student can walk into the library at any time and secure his book. The librarian is not a detective and the unscrupulous student can easily do it But what of other students? Play a square game with them by replacing the book in the right place. It's such a little thing to do but so important.
"Do you think it is quite safe," she asked a brawny miner, who was accompanying the visitors, as she glanced up at the rope.
"Don't you fear, num," was the reply. "You're quite safe. These are ropes are guaranteed to last exactly twelve months, and this one ain't due to be renew-1 till tomorrow."
HE STOOPS TO CONQUOR
An old lady was going down a coal mine for the first time in her life. As she cage slowly descended she noticed how she and the rest of the party were dependent upon a single rope to which it was attached .

Footballs are very much in evidence in the University of California where the players are required to carry one of the pikels with them constantly. "This is to remedy a formality for football," Coach Andy Smith, the varsity mentor of Berkeley Heights university, Coach Smith, who was formerly coach of the University of Pennsylvania eleven, believes that if his players be carried with them and handle it constantly, fumbling will be reduced to a minimum. Hence, the 30 men that compose the varsity squad of the University of California carry the brown pill with them, the 15 men that Coach Smith finds one of his men minus the after-mentioned article he would be immediately dropped from the squad.

Tonight
bsen Company Will Present "The Doll's House"
That Ibsen is one of the foremost dramatists in the world's literature and probably the most prominent figure in the nineteenth century, was the cynote of Prof. A. M. Sturtevant's picture on "Heinrich Brinck." Thursday afternoon in Fraser Chapel.
"The three plays which are to be given here Friday and Saturday are the most popular of Ibsen's dramas and representative of his versatility," said Professor Sturtevant. "The 'Old House' and 'Madame Calles' work and the 'Master Builder' is largely autobiographical, in which Ibsen defines his own record as poet."
Bisset's program plays are masterpieces so carefully written that nothing can be omitted without detracting from their beauty. In them Bisset writes the first dramatic act, his power for keen observation, and dramatic development of conflicting forces. Bisset's earlier dramas were of the romantic type, influenced by the romantic movement in France and Germany, and Danish literature, with its distinct originality, in style. His later dramas are distinctly realistic.
Ibsen has been recognized in all nations. In France and Germany he was hailed immediately as a genius. He was the first to give the universal impulse toward "we want justice and we want truth." His plays have an influence toward the highest character development.
Professor Sturtevant has made a careful study of the Scandinavian language and literature and is well qualified to speak on this subject.

KANSAS STRIP MINES EXPLAINED BY EXPERT
Prof. C. M. Young Tells Engineers About Open-Pit Mining
Large Steam Shovels Used
Volunteers Cannot Work In Deep Pit Mines—Young
Strip-pit mining was explained by the strip-pit mining specialist, Prof. C. M. Young, Thursday afternoon in his lecture in the engineering school. Less than one percent of the coal miners in the university are volunteers can not work at deep-pit mining, according to Professor Young. Miners may be ever so ignorant in most ways, but they have the very necessary appreciation of the different dangers involved, and some little training is needed, said Prof. Young.
Operation of the big steam shovels requires practice and also some training, in order not to wreck the machinery and to dump in the right place.
The conditions necessary for deep mining are canal that is thick enough and hard enough as well as thin enough and hard enough as well enough. It must, of course be near enough to the surface to take off the earth and shovel the coal out. Many different formations of starta were explained by Prof. Young. The Kansas stratum formation differs from that on the hill because it was illustrated, by the more level ground above. Ohio, in both the east and southeast and in different Illinois fields the starta of coal approaches the surface only now and then on the hill slopes. This makes the Kansas stratum formation appear in many places. This is one reason Kansas is doing more with volunteer miners, according to Professor Young.
Kansas uses as many steam showers as all other states together and she also uses large showers, according to data obtained from several large steam showler companies. The steam showler was first tried in Kansas without out success but the Kansas miners with great relief had a showel made in Missouri and an ordinary form in its turning table for turning and reheating. This was
Old strip-pits which look like river beds were shown and also the way in which the sheolled piles new dirt in the old place after the coal is extracted was shown. This left the ground in big ridges from these slices. This ground is not much good for cultivation for about twenty years, accordingly Professor Young, because of the poor deep soil being thrown to the top.
Strip-pit mining is done at a depth of from five to forty feet. Much of the Kansas work is between thirty and thirty-five feet deep.

THE MILITARY INDUSTRY
A Gateway—Electrical
ONLY a forty-foot gateway bounded by two brick pilasters and ornamental lamps, but unlike any other gateway in the entire world.
For back of it is the General Electric Company's main office building, accommodating 2300 employees. And just next door is its laboratory with the best equipment for testing, standardizing and research at the command of capable engineers. Then down the street—a mile long—are other buildings where everything electrical, from the smallest lamp socket to the huge turbines for electrically propelled battleships, is made
by the 20,000 electrical workers who daily stream through.
What a story this gate would tell, if it could, of the leaders of the electrical industry and business, of ambassadors from other institutions and from foreign lands.
This gateway, as well as the research, engineering, manufacturing and commercial resources back of it, is open to all who are interested for the betterment of the electrical industry.

The Sooners, residents of the University of Oklahoma at Norman, were admitted to the Missouri Valley Athletic conference at the annual meeting held in Kansas City, Missouri last Friday.
Entrance of the Oklahoma team into valley circles, where their football and basketball teams are acknowledged during the last five years, is welcomed during the last five years, is welcomed
generally by K. U. sport followers who expected the action to be taken at the meeting last spring. The Oak lahoma schools, however, just this year, conformed to the Valley rulers that control of athletics must be in the hands of the faculty. The first game that Oak lahoma team will play in competition for the Valley title will be late in January, when they take on the Aggies in the first basketball game of the season.
K. U. WILL PLAY HUNKS NBPT BAY
The action of Nebraska in withdrawing from the conference was discussed but no action taken. Any Valleys who made a mistake take them on, though the faculty members of the Conference were almost unanimously against playing the Huskers. K. U. has another year of a two-year contract in football to play out, and has scheduled a game with the New York Giants, but the Huskers will play no basketball games with the Jayhawks.
NEXT SPRING

A meeting will be held every Thursday evening at 7:15 o'clock and an hour will be spent in a short social work with a short social session.
"The purpose of this organization," said Miss Hazel Pratt, "is to create a higher standard of work in physical education, and to make the girls all round athletes instead of specialists." The women elected Doris Drought, c'20, president and Grace Gaskill, c'21, secretary-treasurer.
K.U. MINERS GROWING ACCUSTOMED TO TASK
Living Conditions are Better And Volunteers Live Under Martial Law
By Walter G. Heren, c'21.
From three to four tons of cer aer day are being produced from Car on Mine No. 2 near Scammon Kan. as
The camp near the mines, where the miners are living, is getting organized, and the volunteers are being made comfortable speedily. Four tents are now housing—or rather tenting—fourty-four men, and more room and improved sanitary conditions will justify the miners a whole lot.
Beards are rapidly increasing in length and acreage, and isolation from the outside world is causing rumors to be generally accepted throughout the camp. Friday night was the first time the men had seen a paper, and then it was Thursday's. Pictures of the crew have been taken by various sources. A motion picture was taken by a Pathite Wobble man of the volunteers at work
Twelve members of the crew ventured a trip to Scanmon Wednesday night, and narrowly escaped trouble when they landed on an army truck. The coal fields are under military law, and passes from the commanding officer of the company are now necessary to control surrounding towns can be undertaken.
The volunteers are determined to continue their labors until the miners go back to work, and some are so in love with the work that they will try for membership in the union and continue the work. If the instructors want them at work, the would know that the men are earning their credits.
There are but few "gold bricks" on the job, and they are gradually coming out of this state of irresponsibility. Sore muscles and tired limbs are passing away and hard work is the order of business.
The capacity of Carbon No. 2 is eight cars daily, and by the first of next week the K. U. crew will be running it to capacity. Wint Smith is forman and straw hose of the crew. He has been instructed that his enormous size put the fear of a scrap in the slackers. "Pat" Pedrota is running the electric pumps that furnish the water for steam power. Hoyt "Red" Roush a former student is occupying the tiple tower and running the electric host that pulls the steel cable of the pump. It is "hose" of the shovels, and Cotton Goff is running the loader.
The first forty-one of the K. U. Miners is a mixture of expert mechanics and hard workers, and besides making their mark in the world in the future, will leave quite an impression that certain strip mine near Scammon.
Floating Hôtels Furnish Homes for Many Person
Albany, N. Y., Dec. 6. (United Press.) - Floating hotels were put in operation here today to relieve the housing conditions and particularly the congestion which has marked Albany hotels for the past two years. Two of the largest night-life steamers plying the Hudson River, had just light and dark systems hooked up to the municipal supply, were opened to the public as floating hotels and ready for business.
Each of the boats has accommodations for 400 guests and on each meal will be served and hotel service maintained. It is believed this is the first time in the history of the country that boats, compelled to cease operations by freezing of a river, have been utilized as hotels.
Equipment to be Installed in Heating Plant this Week, Says Shea
K. U. WILL BURN OIL IF COAL GIVES OUT
Coal Will Last Until 19th
University to Remain Open Unless Fuel Administration Makes General Order
Oil burners will be installed in the University heating plant at once, according to a statement by John Shea superintendent in buildings and offices this morning.
The installation of these burners practically assures that the University will not close before the holidays unless the fuel administration should order the institution closed in the general plan to save fuel.
"Our contract with the Standard Oil Company assures an adequate supply of fuel for these burners during coal shortage" at all times during coal shortage.
The "burners will be here late today or Tuesday," said Mrs. Shea. "We are not depending on the railroads, but have dispatched trucks which will haul enough burners to equip all of our boilers and supply them to the difficulty of obtaining the special pumps which supply the burners from the reservoir, there will be some delay, but they will be ready to operate by Friday or Saturday of
At present there is a sufficient supply of coal on hand to last until the holidays and there is little probability of school closing on this account. The University has received only three cars within the last week but more cars are expected in the immediate future.
Hundreds of students have been bejealing the University authorities for information about the possibility of her dismissal, but Baldiyaya, but Chancellor Strong said this morning that he had received no orders other than those last week from the Board of Administration, that the schools would not be closed.

Students Practice Sking Slippery Hill Near Potter's Lake
"Whooop! Zowie! Boy, this is the ___"
The exclamation was cut short when the speaker ungruntly dived into a snow drift. He got up somewhat chagred, but soon was on his alight again taking another sail on the covered snow north of McCool Field.
Sledding and skiing are two of the most popular winter sports among the students of the University. Every afternoon and night sees scores of slips laid up on the various hills surrounding the campus, their occupants mithirthly coasting down the steep inclines.
Skating has also been a popular pastime since the recent cold weather. With temperatures dropping, Potter's Lodge, Crowds of skaters are continually on the lake, and among the uninitiated brunettes and abravirdes, there is even the paimiest days of football.
Efforts at sking were not quite so numerous, as various difficulties are encountered in a vigorous attempt to keep one's balance. A good start is usually obtained, but one misstype will fall unequally only by that of Babylon.
The purpose of the meeting has not been given out, but a definite part of K. U. Loyalty Movement will be presented. The officers of the Men's Student Council, W. S. G. A., Y. M. C. A. Y. W. C. A., Classes, Men's Pan-Hellenic, Shimx, Black Helmets, Owls, and Knights, are invited to the each of the A. E. F. Kansan, Collegiate Alumni and Graduate Magazine, the presidentes of the schools, and the faculty members of the Student Interest Committee.
A meeting of a number of organizations has been called by Glenn Banker, student president of the Men's Student Council in the absence of the governor, president of the Hammam, president of the Women's Student Government Association, for Wednesday, 4:30, at Myers Hall as part of the loyalty campaign proms.

Church Will Conduct Americanization Drive
St. Paul, Minne. Dec 8 — (United Press.)- Leaders among the Disciples of Christ, otherwise known as the Christian church, have inaugurated a drive for $250,000,000 to be applied in the vision plan of practical Americanization.
Though the Christian Americanization Association an investigation of Americanization problems occupying three months has been completed and the original plan to raise $1,000,000 for the extension of the International Bible College at Minnesota grew into a project to raise the larger sum.
The association, realizing the menace of bolshevism and attendant disruption of American institution, will make it clear that less good influence is exerted over the foreign immediately upon his arrival in the country, he will be easy prey for radical agitators and will also be tempted to exploitation, officials promise.
This became necessary when it was decided to equip a chain of educational institutions extending from coast to coast, including a central Americanization university and to begin the process of Americanization with newly arrived immigrants at the principal school in pursuit of working among the 40-000,000 people now in the United States who speak foreign languages.

COAL FAMINE TO GO ON
Industries and Trains Will Be Curtailed, Even if Strike Is Ended Now
BULLETIN
Washington, Dec. 8.—War prices and restrictions on coal and coke were restored by Fuel Administrator Garfield. The order also authorized the director general of railroads to seize any coal or coke in transit.
Washington, Dec. 8 — The coal shortage will continue acute until January 1, even if fine union scale officials in Indianapolis tomorrow vote to accept the settlement proposed by Monton Wilson, it was predicted here today.
Railroad administration officials in charge of coal priorities are making plans based on this belief. Curtailment of train service will be continued unless new railway and may be increased. This would permit additional coal hauling facilities.
Stuart Henderson, e21, and Redford Webster, e21, left last night for the Pittsburgh coal fields, to act as steam shovel men.
The Sociology Club picture will be taken at Squire's studio Friday, Dec. 12 at 12:30.
Story Unauthorized But True Says Chancello
That Chancellor Strong prefers professorship in the School of Law to the deanship, which would bring him to the very kind of administration work that he wishes to avoid, is the substance of an article in today's Towson University Press. Strong says the story was not authorized by him and that he cannot imagine the information was obtained, but that it is nevertheless true. That to resign his position as Chancellor of the University to be a professor at the University desires his desire and he does not care to accept the Deanship. What he is to finally do rests with the Board of Administration, he said today.
AUDIENCE FINDS NORA ROBUST AND WOMANLY
Norwegian Interpreters Draw Good and Appreciative Crowd to Gym
In spite of cold weather and bad sidewalks and anxiety about the coal shortage, a good audience attended each of the three Bears played in Robbins Stadium on Saturday, July 13, daytime. Madame Hammer and Rolf Hammer had been preceded by a reputation which has raised the expectation of all, and the opportunity to see Norwegian plays as presented by the University, particularly appreciated by the University.
It possibly took the audience a few minutes at first to realize that actually was Norwegian interpretation and hence probably faithful interpretation and to forrest their own conception of the parts, as based on their reading and on the renditions they had seen by American actors. This makes it clear that one would be desirable in the attitudinal and to which each one brought his own notion of Nora, a very petite and childish dainty Nora, and a merely charming one. There was a little dissatisfaction perhaps at first in finding a more robust and womanly Nora than was expected; but one was soon convinced that Madame Hammer was the most admirable her conception of the part and that it might also have been Ibsen's conception.
However, the audience was more profoundly impressed the next afternoon when she appeared in her interpretation of Hedda, in Hedda Gabler. Here she gave a really wonderful presentation. Hedda Gabler is one of the most technically and the part is of his most subtle and fascinating. Madame Hammer's rendering combined remarkably the complexity of the character with its dramatic power. That power increased in intensity up to the end. The danger in such a part is that feeling may be sacrificed for subtility, but in Madame Hammer's interruption no surprise no doubt. Her acting is characterized through a remarkable combination of feeling and intelligence.
After seeing Rolf Hammer in the subordinate parts of Helmer and Judge Borck, it was great satisfaction to the audience to see him, as Solness in the Master Builder, in a part more focused on the ability. As Helmer he was the smug selfish clumy husband, spiritually stupid—he himself hates the part, he says, as Judge Borck he was cruel, cynical—socially finished. As Solness he had a part of much richness, a man of vivid subjective experience, complex morally and temperamentally complex. He was thoroughness. One then saw that he had really been subordinating himself in the other two plays. He would have carried the play convincingly, even without Madame Hammer's Hilda Wangel. His acting also is marked by great intellectual quality, as well as emotional depth in Hilda Madame Hammer appeared type, buoyant and vivid and fresh. Personally, Borgny Hammer and Rolf Hammer proved most delightful. They indicate in everything broad cultivation and experience fine ar-

Gamma Phi Beta and Acacia Lead in Annual Race for Better Grades
Sororities Outclass Frats
Analysis Shows Non-Fraternity Men Make Higher Marks Than Greek Letter Men
Big ups showed up today in the annual student-body scholarship race when George O. Foster, registrar, announced the averages in A, B and C grades of fraternity and non-fraternity students for the year 1918-19. Gamma Phi Beta led the sororities with 93.87 per cent, taking the first place. Other groups dropped to ninth place. The sorority averages, however are closely bunched the lowest average being 87.14, held by Alpha XI Delk.
Acela won first among the fraternities with an average of 89.45. Kappa Sigma, which took first place last year, is now next to the bottom with an average of 66.77. Sigma Alpha Epsilon occupies the bed rock position with an average of 61.81. This is higher than the student list. Registrar Foster said that organization had failed to submit its roster.
The highest averages of any group of students is held by the sorority women, the registrar's analysis shows. The sorority average of A, B and C grades is 89.1. The non-fraternity men come next with 80.01 and the non-fraternity women take three place in the general average. Their average is 76.43 while that of the fraternity men is 75.13. Colored women student averaged 63.45 and colored students 62.49. The University average is 76.61.
"It should be remembered." Mr. Foster explained, "that only A, B and C grades are considered in this average. I mention this for the benefit of out-of-town readers of The Daily Kansan. There .are four passing grades, ranged down from A, B, C to D. The grade D means that a student is likely to pass fairly well to a course of study so carefree scrape through. Of course, are not satisfactory grades, so only satisfactory grades are considered; that is, this study takes into account only the A, B and C grades."

A MOVE FOR DEMOCRACY
Self-government by the men of the University through a responsible body known as the "Associated Men of the University of Kansas," is the fundamental principle of the new constitution drawn up by the constitutional committee of the Men's Student Council and up for adoption by the Senate Tuesday night.
PUTTING IT INTO ACTION
The new constitution should be adopted in that it delegates to the mon students themselves, power over those affairs which tarity belong to them. The power of control and regulation of student functions, up to a certain limit, should lie directly with the students and not with a governing body whose non-student representatives can never expect to know the real student sentiment.
One of the best possibilities to put into action and deeds the spirit of the "K. U. First" movement is offered in the County Club idea. These clubs have a great opportunity to do effective missionary work among prospective students of their own counties during the Christmas vacation. A banquet given in honor of the high school seniors of the county furnishes an excellent means of filling these prospective students with the K. U. enthusiasm and informing them of the nature of the courses of study they may obtain and the life of the school.
A few of these clubs have already been organized but only a small part of those that will be necessary to effectively cover the field. The remaining two weeks should be alive with activity in organizing these different county clubs. Upperclassmen should take the initiative, speak with one or two others from their county, decide on a meeting place and advertise a meeting to organize.
The following suggestion as to committees which might be appointed will aid in the promotion of a banquet:
Appoint a banquet committee to arrange for the time, place and eats The women of some church probably would be glad to serve the banquet at a nominal cost.
A program and entertainment committee should arrange for toast responses from representatives of the alumni, students, and high school representatives. After the banquet it might promote a "Round Table" conference at which each member of the club interviews some senior about the particular line of work which he desires to follow.
A financial committee should be appointed to determine the cost of
the banquet and how many high
many high school seniors and alumni will be present. Appoint an alumni co-operation to get the names from the alumni to alumni. Alumni ASSOCIATE can can be present and endeavor to secure their co-operation.
An invitation committee should be appointed to get the names of all high school seniors before school closes and after receiving information as to the time and place of the banquet send them personal invitations.
Possibly some of the clubs will not $>$ large enough to have more than one person on a committee but if that person will assume entire responsibility so much the better. The plan may cost the members a dollar or more, but they can make no better contribution for the sake of "K. U. First."
A Chicago hotel recently made a substantial reduction in its charges. The manager explained it thus: "We've had three or four mighty prosperous years, and now we are prepared to operate at cost for a few months. Probably the hotel will gain as much in advertising as it oases in profit." We hope so. Wouldn't it be nice if the LaSalle owned a few coal mines?
KEEPING UP MORALE
The morale of the University is being seriously affected by the present unsettled condition of affairs. At the beginning of the year it was expected that the University would get back into the old routine of pre-war days and establish a precedent for future enrollments, activities and good grades. But a good beginning has been hatched by a nation-wide coal strike which has called many men away from their work. The students are generally restless in view of the fact that they feel school may be forced to close.
Study is neglected to talk over the possibility of closing and to read and discuss the happenings at the mines where the University men are lending their aid. Naturally, less interest is given to every-day affairs.
To have this year broken into as the past three years have been will be a great disappointment to everyone concerned; but so far there is no certainty that it will be. As long as possible every member of the University should do all in his power to keep things on the same scale with which school was begun.
The critical coal situation should not be allowed to interfere too much with the regular school activities.

Mother, being practical as well as artistic, will enjoy using a luncheon set every day if she can have one like those displayed in the north window at Weavers. They have the appearance of imitation leather but oil cloth is probably a closer guess. Anyway, they can be easily cleaned without getting greasy. The cost of a set of one large and two plate dishes is $1.50. They come in attractive designs of green and white or blue and white.
HEALTH IN THE AIR
Cousin Mary lives out in the state where she does not have such a wide variety from which to select little finishing touches to her costume. Something of your selection with evidences of your own workmanship will please her immensely. A hand made bag hand set into a carved silver hat and a sleeveless will delight her. Such a soft cover is expensive as you like. The silver frame costs for $2.50 and the cost of ribbon or velvet pieces varies. Lovely metal brocaded ribbons are $8.00 a yard if you care to be elaborate.

The suggestion by an English physician that airships be used as sanitation in the treatment of tuberculosis has led to it. In combating the tuberculosis instrument, an emnical practice has all but abandoned drugs. It depends largely on pure air, sunshine, rest an eat of a balanced, fresh food. There would doubleless of stocking the larder of a floating sanitarium, but rest is unavailable and the airship at an easily negotiated altitude would provide air stocking that would attain of purity and plenty hardly attainable on the earth's surface.

But the most interesting feature of the suggestion is the wider service it prophesies from the conquest of the air. Only a few years ago the airplane in popular expectation, merely planted another avenue on the earth's surface. With the war it developed and in imbued branch of arms that revolutionized military tactics. Since the war it has ended the industrial pace by accelerating communication. Now it is recruited by medicine in the battle for health. In what new field will it appear tomorrow?

Students Are Asked to Give Discarded Garments to Unfortunate
Twenty-five Thanksgiving baskets were given by the various organizations on the Hill and collected by the Committee of the poor of Lawrence.
The call now comes for clothing. The following is taken from a letter sent by the Social Service Committee to all the organizations;
"We are asking that each one of you gather up the clothes you will not wear anymore—discard summer garments, torn clothes, last year's clothes, anything—and put them in large bundles. It does not matter if I am surprised by your words as much as us who will do that. You would be surprised if you knew how much unfortunate people appreciate garments which are no longer of service to you. Take the matter up at the next meeting of your organization and get concerted action. Remember, the need is urgent, next Tuesday, Decem-

Committee to help and we are going to do everything we can," it concluded.

Fagan Off To Mines;
Doesn't Forget Paddle
Fagen's Irish is up and he's off to war!

to pack his suit case and see him
ft.
No, his pajamas are still in his dresser drawer, but the "cutie's" picture that was seen there has mysteriously disappeared. What's he going to do with those two handsome sills and all that silk socks? Let it go Fagan. Did he get his 'heaviest'? One pair and one pair of woolen seals. Patriotism seems to make some of us reckless, alas. Well, good luck to you Fagan.
Maybe it was Fagan's fault, and maybe not, that various odds and triples found their way into that tachel. We might pause to ponder their misfortune, but if we were alarm clock fearing that he might not hear revelie and need his old standby? Thoughtful Fagan. And why that fresh paddleman? Will he cry "rally" to rescue the princess? Lots hope our Freshmen won't grow rough and strike. Two decks of cards—evidently Fagin like to play poker and will spend some of the woe hours of the morning gambles—will be the "meat" at the end of a perfect day.

HUNS HAVE NO GOODS TO DUMP ON WORLI
Aside From Small Supply of Drugs and Toys no Stocks Are on Hand
By CARL D. GROAT
United Press Staff Corresp
(United Staff Press Correspondent). Berlin. (By Mail.)-America and England see the specter of German competition in "damping" of their markets.
But Germany doesn't see it. Financial authorities, government leaders that there is, for the present at least, no need for protective tariff walls or other import regulations. The man goods department of Germany at "dump" any great mass of supplies on foreign markets or the simple reason that she hasn't them to dump.
She has some drugs and chemicals, some porcelain and china, and an army of pigs and apples, but it comes to large quantities wherewith to flood other markets, they are simply in the imagination of the foreign nations, according to der-
mah-ah. Germany is striving to dissipate the idea that she intends an out-crate competition against the rest of the world. In fact she is endowing inafar as possible to let the rest of the world believe that it will be years before she is a strong factor in the world's markets.
And while some of the government authorities try to appear optimistic, the general spirit of the motion is one of realism. It almost to the utmost over the future.
Visiting Americans, not at all obeyed with any spirit of pro-Germanism or sympathy for the German nation, maintain that some sort of credit arrangement must be made if a collapse here it to be avoided which would perhaps take with it other tottering national structures and operate to the detriment of the whole world.
In such a situation, the fear of "dumping" is generally deemed here to be based on a misconception of the facts. The most careful observers say that, even with credits, Germany cannot be a rival to be feared for many years to come. Her indemnities will be such as to tax her paying ability to the extreme. She no longer has the cheap labor required in a powerful rival in the Workers' wage demands are continuously higher; and the workman is such a factor in German life today that he cannot be forsaken.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Germany's situation now is such that she cannot buy outside, because a dollar's worth or a pound's worth of material means a lot of money. And while she can buy it in store here because the rate of exchange is in their favor, there are at present no great heaps of goods for the foreign buyer to obtain.

Among these are all the girls who played on the team which took second place in the tournament last year. Amanda is one of the members of last year's champion team besides some fine new material which will make an unusually strong team," said Miss Pratt.

The Athletic Board is holding a meeting this afternoon to determine whether or not K. U. will play a football game with Nebraska on McCook Field November 13, as now scheduled.
At the meeting of the heads of the Valley Conference Schools in Kansas City last Saturday, action was taken to decide if the contracts abugued and that they will not complete the remaining year of

The meeting of University heads in Kansas City passed a motion amitiously that hereafter, when a school withdraws from the conference, that all contracts made with other Valley schools, are automatically abrogated, but special action is necessary as this condition has not arisen before.

THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
INTRA-MURAL CAGERS WILL BE ORGANIZED
Four Leagues to be Pan-helenic Hash-House, Inter-class and Inter-School
Every-One to be Eligible
Prizes May be Awarded In Form Of Individual Cups to Winners
Plans are under way for several basket-ball leagues made up of the various organizations, classes and professional schools in the University. The purpose is to arouse enthusiasm among the students for this sport and to enable them to find all the opportunities possible to put a win-win Variety game.
"The Varsity material outlook is promising but is not commensurate with what we believe in there in the school." said Kari Schlademan. He pointed to this reason that the developing of intra-mural basket-ball is being encouraged, not only to arouse the interest of the whole school, but to swell the material for the Varsity and competition for a position on the team.
"Arrangements are being made to form four leagues at present," said Coach Schadlemann, "a Pan-hemlin, Hash-House, Inter-Class, and Inter-School league between the different professional schools. This lets in everybody, since in the Hash-House league anyone who joins a team to compete for the championship and trophy. Prizes in this league may be awarded in the form of individual cups to each member of the winning team.
"Of course, if the coal situation remains as acute as at present the schedules for these leagues will necessarily have to be delayed but we expect to be able to have continuous use of the gymnasium by January."
Doctor Allen, director of athletics is strong in his approval of the plan and reports evidence of strong rivalry among the organizations in particular for honors in this sport. Both Varsity and freshman squares are of ocurce ineligible for participation in these games.
K. U. MINERS MAY RETURN NEXT WEEK
Dr. Naismith, After Trip Pittsburg, Says Volunteers Are in Fine Trim
The K. U. boys in the Pittsburgh coal fields will be back to school by next week and the question is that matters will have to be readjusted before they can return, said Dr James Naismith today.
Dr. James Naismith left Friday night for Pittsburgh and spent the week end with the boys. They are all coming along fine, happy and lots of pop, and having the best of time, he says. There will be some double to as whether the boys will stay and join the girls at school. They are getting some real experience, and will do them no harm, according to Dr. Naismith.
The situation as it stands today in the Pittsburgh coal regions is that there are more applicants received than needed, and in a few days the K. U. crew will be sent back. The miners have contented themselves by thinking thinelement and coal operators will make terms and they can go back to work, said Dr. Naimish in reviewing the situation.

Coal Dust Scoops
Fetigrdinn Gottlieb
insigne duty and police work instead of coal digging has been the occupation of Mr. K. U. coal gang, which has been quartered at the Normal since early in the week. The men have done whatever work was necessary at the guardroom to assist the guardmen. Walter M. McGill is in charge of the group, which includes V. P. Scheley, A. K. Chambers, M. D. Hereford, G. H. Bell, E. Hawes, G. Brewfyglo, W. C. Crosby, R. Kiefer, R. D. Maher, F. R. Lobaugh G. B. Wall and L. M. Henderson.
The colors of the machine gun service are blue and red, greatly resembling the Crismon and the Blue. This seems quite appropriate in view of the commanding officer and a number of the men are from the University.
NUMBER 86.
Pittsburgh reporters saw a dozen or six soldiers riding down one of the principal streets the other day and hastened out to get more details if the arrival of the K. N. G. cavalry. Neither General Martin nor Colonel Dorsington could give any information on the subject and it was not until the Colonel of the regulars was approached that any light was shed.
"They're doughboys taking the draft horses for some exercise," said the colonel.
It will be worth the trip to the station to witness the arrival of the Machine Gun Company when the strike is ended. An 'order' was issued that all members should raise a mustache or do his utmost toward such an adornment. Men, found with upper lips shaven when the order comes to return home will be left in Pittsburgh without razors, goggles and backpacking the movement, and guards will be stationed at all barber shops and manicure parlors.
K. U. miners and K. U. guards are men waiting for "divisional insignia" to be worn on the left shoulder. They say some one should design and manufacture a distinction badge with the slogan, "Put KU First."
The only way miners and guards
m knew it was Sunday was because
the sun shone. Full routine
work went on everywhere. It was
the first clear day since the men
arrived here.
"I sure had a narrow escape this morning," said the supply sergeant as he sat down to mess.
"Howzat?" inquired a cook.
"Well, I started over to the supply room about um-up this supply, and ran into a girl standing on the floor, biting her bait and before I could stop sliding, I'd might near shoved his bayonet clear through me."
The attitude of the miners toward the volunteer workers and the guardians varies in different parts of the country. Strikers brought out food to the crew of one of the ships, and then insisted that the men stay all night with them. Many miners have told guardians they realize fully the troops are here as neutrals in the strike, helping only to facilitate the production of coal. In some cases, these miners have been told that most of these demonstrations come from foreign born miners and sympathizers.
A venturesome volunteer miner from K. U., desiring first hand information on the strike, penetrated to the private office of Alexander Howat, strikes in one of the miners' claims, in an eloquent response of the miners' claims, be said:
"If you men want to do the best and most reasonable thing for all concerned and really desire to see a peaceful settlement, you will all-volunteers and state troops—pack up and go home."
Mrs. Bernice White-Scott, Mus. B., '10; went through Lawrence Saturday on her way to Washington where she will spend the winter with her father who is a member of Congress, and her husband, James M.

COLLEGE MINERS DIG
WITHOUT MACHINERY
Students Use Pick and Shovel After Machinery Freezes Up
Union Miners Incredulous
Slightly Better Weather May Allow Exercise of Machinery Later
Pittsburg, Kan. Dec. 10—Kansas college students today put the weather man to flight and despite a zero temperature, began adding to the output cars of coal, obtained yearly in the southeastern Kansas strip mines.
Union miners early today were incredulous of the announced strip mine production in weather that in former years had baffled all outdoor activity, because it was right and intimidated "wrong count" on the part of state receivers.
Machinery was "out of the running" and volunteers brought out chunk after chunk of glistening coal with handpicks and shovels. Slightly improved weather conditions may alter the temperature at some of the nits later today.
Missouri mines were all but ice-bound. Eight mines however, were expected to increase the output of mines to the efforts of volunteers yesterday.
HEALTH LABORATORY ON WAY TO PITTSBURG
Olin Deibert, c17. Former Bacteriology Student, Will be In Charge
At the request of General Martin and the State Board of Health, a health laboratory has been sent to Pittsburgh to look after the physical condition of the troops and the students working the mines. Olin Dei-Weiss, a biomedical nurse at United Biotechnology laboratory and has served as half-time assistant for the state, was sent to take charge of the temporary laboratory.
Professor Haskins, superintendent of the water and sewage laboratory spent some time in Pittsburg investigating conditions. On his return he put the request of the State Board of Health before the Chancellor, Dean Tompin, and Professor Sherwood, of the Water Laboratory, to re-operated co-operated with him in the plan. The Water Laboratory furnished a complete field kit.
The Health laboratory, which will be located in the State Normal laboratory if possible, will care for all health tests for the men in the mines and will co-operate with the medical department in preventing epidemics.

IS $1,000,000 PLAN
A plan for obtaining for the University of a University Service Building, to include a commons, a student union, and also stadium, was presented before a meeting of representative students at Myers Hall this afternoon by Prof. W. J. Baugartner.
Professor Baumgartner's plan includes the raising of $1,000,000 an fund to start these operations. He suggests that the representatives go back to their organizations and present the plan. They will then elect a permanent representative to a Representative Committee which will discuss the various phases of the question.
Actual operations will be carried on by an Executive Committee of twelve four to be selected form the representative committee, four to be appointed by the Chancellor from among the Faculty, and four to be appointed from among the alumni by th President of the Alumni Association.

Under this plan, it is hoped that funds will be readily obtainable. In the words of Professor Baumgartner, "the students will furnish the pep, the professors the permanency, and the alumni the pecuniary metans."

Prepare to Resume Immediate Operations as Soon as Word
Operators Watch Outcome
Is Given
Indianapolis, Dec. 10.—After two hours of debate, Union chiefs of the coal miners adjourned for lunch shortly after noon today without reaching an agreement with Winn's proposal to seal the coal strike. They were to reconvene at 1:30 p.m.
"We probably will reach an agreement today," acting President Lewis said, as he left the meeting.
The second day's conference of leaders of the United Mine Workers of America considering President William's proposal for ending the coal strike, opened at 9:56 o'clock today. A quick decision in favor of adoption of the proposal was forecast by sev- ceous workers as they entered the meeting hall.
Many conferences were held among officials of various districts Tuesday night and early today and the question discussed in the group gatherings.
So far as could be learned the majority of these groups decided the only way out with honor was to sub-commit to a joint opposition augmented by the President.
Many coal mine orepersons were in Indianapps today watching the progress of the meeting. They were able to catch some of the operations have been made for immediate resumption of operations as soon as the miners give the word,

FIRE DAMAGES HOME OF PROF. C. S. SKILTON
Blaze Burns Away Part of Roof While Family Is At Lumcheon
Origin of Fire Undetermined
Two Years Ago a Similar Fire Occurred in Same Part Of House
Professor Skilton had just left his home to go on the Hill when someone rushed into the house and told the family, who were at luncheon, that smoke was pouring from their fire department arrived on the scene. The second alarm had been sent in, owing to theicy condition of the pavement.
The amount of damage is undetermined, although the roof was badly burned, and the furniture of the attic was damaged by smoke and water. It ran down through the ceilings of two of the bedrooms on the second floor.
Fire of undetermined origin, which was discovered about 1:15 o'clock this afternoon, did considerable damage to the home of Prof. C. S. Slitton, at 1318 Louisiana Street. The fire was discovered in the roof by passersby.
Two years ago fire broke out in much the same manner in the roof of this house. At that time the origi-
nal fire was undetermined as in this instance.
COACH WILL CHOOSE BASKET BALL SQUAD
Fuel Ban Causes Afternoon Practice—Thirty-Five Men Out
Varsity Basketball prospects loom bright for Kansas for the coming season, with thirty-five men trying for the team, and all going good. Coach Schlademann will pick the squad Thursday and the real training session Friday. The coaches will men will be retained on the squad.
At present on account of the fuel shortage practice is being held in the afternoon three times a week, but as soon as the fuel ban is lifted, every night will find the men at hard work pivoting, passing and shooting; under coach Coach Carl Schlademann.
The Freeman forty strong, under the personal direction of Dr. F. C. Alen are learning the fundamental skills necessary for star acts, taught them in some of the small high schools or country schools of the state. Most of the work will consist of watching the Varsity work team and criticising the criticism made by the coaches.
"There is a great deal of good material among the Freshman, and lots of latent ability to be developed," said D. F. C. Allen, "and I am going to make the Varsity get up and go with my first year men in practice."

POLITICIANS OR STATESMEN?
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 10, 1919
Anywhere we go we can hear it said that the opposition in the Senate to the peace treaty is politics pure and simple, and is a conspiracy to discredit the Administration. Some persons like to believe such things of United States Senators. It has become a habit of Americans to belittle the man in public office.
Walter Johnson, a clerk in the Senate who spoke to several groups in the University last week gave a first hand account of the treaty fight. And his story, strange as it may seem, was not an account of squabbling narrow-minded politicians making peanut politics out of the League of Nations. It was a story of sincerity, patriotic statement intelligently seeking what to them seemed best for America. Their debate were in Mr. Johnson's opinion, history making utterances which will go down as the equal of those of Patrick Henry and Daniel Webster. Mr. Johnson's picture of the United States Senate in action was of a kind to renew the faith of the most pessimistic student of American government.
All of which raises the question—what kind of men are United States Senators? We know, and we do not know; we would like to know, but we cannot find out.
Perhaps it would be best not to put them to the test. A most respected member of the company once was offered a high public office. He declined. "If I should go into politics" he jokingly remarked, "I would straightly be accused of being a horse thief." Only that respected gentleman himself knew that such a charge might well be proved.
PRIZE FOR KANSAS POEM
Here is another opportunity to put "K. U." First, "Willard Wattles has offered a cash prize of fifty dollars for the best poem by a native Kanan.
Residence in the state is not required, but if there is any place where any Kanang is inspired with the political affinity, that place is Mount Orem. It is here that one breathes in the full breadth of our natural beauty, and the heights and depths of our ideals. Here we have the greatest tides of our brightest youth rising and falling and pressing forward under careful tutelage. And here we have the personal touch of such acknowledged singers as William Herbert Carruth and Arthur Canfield of the earlier day and the group of poets so ably represented in the last decade by Mr. Watts himself.
The more expression of faith in the Kansas atmosphere and the Kansas ability is worth a great deal. And
W. Mattles advises the reading by interested parties the eminent writers of fiction as well as verse for the cultivation of knowledge and taste and essential responsiveness to our great wealth of creative suggestion.
It is hoped that the better writers of the State will submit poems, but all contestants are warned against sentimentality, moralizing and unfounded boasting in regard to any state superiority. Perfect freedom is accorded in choice of subject, but the selections made in "sunflowers, a book of Kansas Poems," are cited as desirable models. And if the poets can show the genuine significance of the Kansas character and the Kansas spirit, they will probably be more succesful.
All manuscript should be sent to Mr. Willard Wattles, by May 1st, 1920. The full text of the conditions of the contest as outlined by Mr. Wattles should have a place in the clipping case of every literary-minded student as a matter of general interest and individual guidance, and the notes of progress that appear from time to time should announce a splendid K. U. response to this resonant call.
The "less than one-half of one per cent" of America's population, now on strike in the coal fields, would seem to have more kick than that other half of one per cent we have been hearing about.
AN EVENT OF NOTE
The coming of Sousa's band under the personal direction of Lt. John Philip Souza, to the University of Kansas is an event worthy of note.
Lieutenant Sousa has for years been considered foremost in musical circles and his band is reputed to be one of the best. Because of his great popularity as a march writer he has been called "The March King." One of Sousa's most popular marches is "Stars and Stars Forever," played by almost every musical organization in the United States.
The coming concert will be one that can be appreciated by all. A musical education will not be necessary to enjoy it.
A large attendance would speak well for the University and those who go to the concert will be more than repaid by the benefit that will be derived.
In addition the profits from the concert will be used for the benefit of needy families of men in the national guard units in Pittsburgh.
A CALL FOR HELP
An empty coal bin, a meager larder,
and insufficient clothing, are making
the present cold weather almost unbelievable for many desistance Lawrence families. Many of the women and children have nothing with which to clothe themselves but rags. Their ieug is urgent.
The Social Service Committee of lawrence has sent out a call for all isarceted old clothing, to be given these unfortunates. They ask that all ast summers clothing, torn clothes, and old garments no longer wanted, e saved and put in bundles. At regular intervals they will be collected by members of the committee. Many lawrence women are aiding in the work and will patch and repair the ern and wore articles before they are distributed to the poor
The Social Service Committee is doing a real service for Lawrence. Among other things they collected twenty-five Thanksgiving baskets donated by the various organizations of the University and distributed them
The spirit shown by the University in the past assures that this worthy request will not go unheeded.
Five-year-old Freddy often showed pugilistic tendencies. One day he was using his fist on 3-year-old sister Helen. The visiting aunt said:
"Freddy, don't you know that a gentleman never strikes a lady?"
"Why, Helen," said amty, "when did you ever see a gentleman strike a lady?"
Instantly Helen stopped crying and exclaimed:
"Oh yes, they do."
With an air of convincing proof the little maid replied:

Charles is so careless with his clothes. Mother has weared of forever having to pick up after him. The clothes are too tightly attached, made up of metal and leather, that is displayed in Ober's front window sells for $1.25 and it would be an incentive for Charles to have about part of his wardrobe, at least.

Mabie just loves to have receptacles at home and sit behind the "urn" and pour, you know. There is a lovely chocolate set on a mahogany tray in Cartier's window that would please you. You can buy these winter afternoons and you can get it for her for $7.50. It is made of Silesian China.
Little Johnny is the family's favorite. Every one is giving him money. Mother thinks it is a dangerous thing to do but then what can you do about it? You can give them a cash register will encourage Johnny to save his money until he gets enough to buy a coaster wagon. The bank will register pennies, nickles, and dimes handwritten has been put in the price of the bank is $1.50.
On these winter days when it is too cold for little Thelma to go to school, mother finds it hard to keep her busy at something indoora and out from under foot. If Thelma had an easel blackboard with a roll of designs for hours at a time and a desk for hours at a time and her school work would not suffer from her playing hookey. One easel ready for holiday sale is marked $2.50.
May is a regular social butterfly. Her mother says home for May is just a place to come to, to change her clothes and get ready to go somewhere. May would surely pause long enough in her mad flight to dob some powder on her nose if it were served up in her bed. When she feathers fuff crowned with a handle that is a very proud little lady swathed in old blue and gold.
Aunt Katherine (she used to spell it Cathryn) has been ill so long you have all gradually grown out of the habit of fussing up her room and her tray. But an individual breakfast set in Japanese enamel, a about a dozen pieces o na tray, in gold or bôse to match her chinz hangings would brighten the whole day for her every moment. The delight in her eyes would be worth many times the $14 that the set sells for at the University Book Store.
Eugene will read in bed no matter how much mother scolds. He read a novel once where the herd, clad in silk pamphlets, recalled at his ease in reading poetry half the night and the picture appealed to him. Not having silk pamphlets and not daring to smoke he is forced to compromise considerably. An electric bedside lamp illuminates the room, which might win his mother partially to the idea by protecting his eyes. Lamp and cord complete are price at $3.75

FIFTY POEMS LISTED FOR WATTLES' PRIZE
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Additional Details of the $50 Poetry Contest are Given
Nearly fifty poems from native-born Kannas, have been submitted to Willard Wattles, for the $50 prize he is offering for the best specimen of Kannas.
"While not all the conditions and rules have been given out," W. Matties told that poems must be in by May 1, 1920, is being fulfilled, as I have received requests for strength of my announcemen at the state teachers association in Topeka last month."
Mr. Wattles is preparing a list of books of the Middle West typifying the Kansas spirit which it is recommended that all contestants read. The list will be published in the Kansan soon. Other details of the contest:
The poems must not have been published previous to the time of making the award.
The names of the judges in this contest are to be announced later but will be men and women of state and national reputation as writers. Some, though not all, of the judges must have been born in the state, and all the judges must have a significant influence of the virtues and failings.
It is hoped that the better known writers of the state will be willing to submit poems in this contest. The giver of the prize and the judges are barred from contesting. The contestants need not be living in the state at the present time, but must have been born there.
The prize is offered by the present giver for one year only. He understands, however, that there are plans in process of formation by men who command much larger resources, by which an annual prize may be established for a period of five months greater interest and value, and in which the prizes will be much larger. But since the present plan took form in the giver's mind as early as 1911 when he and Harry Kemp, Anma Manley, Gale Goessel, Adella Peper and John She published their "Songs from the Hill," the first book in which an author has been the intention of the giver always to establish such a state contest as soon as he was able to do so.
The giver of the prize, to whom all manuscripts are to be mailed at Lawrence, Kansas, will sort such manuscripts as are plainly not of value. Those which are found to be worth consideration and conformable to the rules of the contest will then be forwarded to the final judges who are to be men and women of high literary pre-eminence. This sorting is to save time of the final judges, whose names are yet to be announced.
It shall be the privilege of the giver of the prize to say which periodical shall first publish the prize poem and to reprint it in "Sunflowers," a book of Kansas poems. All other rights reserved to the author.
A contestant by his entry into the contest thereby signifies his willingness to abide by all the rules of the contest.
It is hoped that through this contest the people of Kansas may come to clearer understanding of the principals and significances of our state, and see ourselves in relation to the Middle West of which in a sense we are the contenders that the case. This union is a fineher spirit of Americanization as well as to a more intelligent pride in our state institutions and manners.

Dutch Wedell to Explain Launching of Million Dollar Memorial Campaign. Urge All to Wear Arm Bands as Sign of Loyalty
All efforts by different organizations on the Hill to back the Loyalty and Put K. U. First movements will be united into one big effort at the AI-University convocation to be held at 11:30 Friday in Robinson Gymnasium, according to backers of the million dollar drive that has just been launched.
Another feature of the convocation will be the awarding of the first D.S.C. over awarded in Lawrence to Lody Richmond, a pre-medic, who was cited for bravery in service. All K. U. students who have received Distinguished Service Crosses or who have been cited for one will have seats on the platform. A complete list has been provided by the following are among those cited: Howard T. Fleeson, Ray Winters, Eugene Ferreus, and Wint Smith.
"Every one should attend this convocation and show his colors." Rilla Hammat, president of the W. S. G. A., said today, "Several wealthy alumni will be present, and we will need their support in the memorial campaign. They will contribute more freely if they think that the students are behind the school. And every student who comes to the convocation without an arm band will be hurting the memorial campaign."
Judge J. C. Ruppenthal, LLBJS, a member of the Alumni Board of Visitors, will speak on "Loyalty, Why and How," and Robert Albach will explain the work of the county clubs that are being formed and how they can back K. U. at meetings held during the holidays.

Arm bands, widely sold among students before Thanksgiving, will blossom forth once more Friday morning at the Loyalty convocation, according to the plans of the promoters of the loyalty campaign.
Although the bands were plentiful before Thanksgiving, few weathered the vacation and appeared on the Hill the following Monday.
"To supply the deficiencies of insignia, armbands will be on sale at Dr. Corbin's office in Fraser Hall, Thursday, and at the gymnasium Friday," said Rilla Hammat, who has charge of the sale of the armbands.

Y. M. C. A. DELEGATES SEE MICHIGAN UNION
Michigan Building has Enormous Dance Hall, Billard Room and Cafeteria
Solves Thousand Problems
Building Provides for Alumni to Use on Home Coming Day
At Michigan University there is a massive building that bears the name "The Student Union." On a recent visit, Mr. Cook visited, Professor Baggartner, William Studer and Marvin Harms made a trip to Ann Arbor to look at this building, in order to get an idea of the students of Kansas would want some day.
"The building is architecturally beautiful, and the design is carried throughout the structure," said Marvin Harms. "In the basement are the showers and baths and a tap room (without some of the old accessories) that would strike near to the heart of every man in K. U. who likes to sit around a table with his friends over a sandwich or soft drink in a compartment. Up on the first floor was an enormous dance hall, and if K. U. had one of these there would be less trouble about dance halls. This floor also contained a billiard room that had so many tables that I couldn't count them, and those were seven reading rooms, and also a dining room.
On the upper floors were guest rooms for the alumni who come back on Homecoming Day and at any other time. These rooms will accommodate the great crowds that come back to 'heir Alma Mater.
"Altogather the building would help
o solve a thousand problems that
ave presented themselves to students
and faculty alike on the campus.
tooms for the Student Council, W. S,
A., Y. M. C, A. Y. M. C, A., yno
all the other organizations could be planned so that meeting places could be solved. The cafeteria would provide a place where students could eat without going off the Hill, and a great number of clubs and fraternities would build the building. The recreation features will keep the students on the campus, and there will be no necessity to go down town to play a game of billards. The study rooms will give the men and women a place to go between classes; there are dozens of other favorable features. Continuers Mr. Harris.
Sold 400 Directories To Students on Monday
"Only four hundred student directories were sold Monday to the students," said Marvin Harmon, who has charged of the book for the Student Council. "A number of people have been offered thirty-five cents but thirty-five cents has been necessary for the expense of the book is nearly twice as much as last year, because there are twenty more pages and printing has also gone up. An increase of the dime will only pay out the book provided a thousand are sold."
"In order to insure the publication of such a necessary book, every student should own one. The book is accurate, because the Registrar's office had charge of the copy, making the records from the lists, and also reading the proof, and making note changes during the course of printing."
The Student Directory is on sale at Fraser Check Stand.

SENTIMENTS VOICED ON PROPOSED DRIVE
Ian to Erect University Service Building Meets Enthusiastic Response
Various Ideas Expressed
Movement a Decided Step Forward
The University of Kansas has a great vision. That vision is the erection of a student service building and the beginning of an athletic stadium at a cost of one million dollars.
Everyone on the Hill is enthusiastic concerning the proposed plan to secure a University Service Building and Stadium for the University if the following interviews are an indication of the prevailing attitude:
THE MILLION DOLLAR VISION
"The University Service Building, as I see it," said Prof. W. J. Baumgartner, "should contain a cafeteria, tea room, room for committee meetings of the various school organizations, rooms for student social gatherings, and rooms for alumni and alumni associations. To the alumni the common would be particularly beneficial. This building, I believe, could be built for approximately $200,000, and the other half of the fund should go to
"The Loyalty Movement in the University can now have something definite to the to," continued Professor Blaumgartner. "Professor Melvin has done a great deal in the organizing and enthusiasm he has imparted to members of the University in regard to his position." The movement will have an opportunity to express itself in a definite, material way."
It is a task that will put to the acid test the loyalty movement for putting K. U. first. It will take a million dollars worth of loyalty on the part of every student, faculty member, and alumnus to carry the campaign to a successful close. It will mean the translation of every ounce of passive loyalty to the University into dynamic action.
Prof. Godwin Goldsmith, a member of the Memorial Committee, said that his views of the matter of a student service building were many and complex. "However, there is one thing that stands out clearly, and that is that if the building is a memorial, it should be made as such."
But is must be done. And this is the year to do it. The University has reached that stage where it must either forge ahead with rapidly increasing momentum or remain at a standstill, an institution with a past but without a future.
There are no limits to the possibility of growth if properly stimulated. With the great Southwest for its nourishment the University has opportunity for developing into prominence as the first among the institutions of that territory.
The vision which will carry the University to that goal is now supplied in the million dollar campaign. That is to be the first practical result to come from the loyalty movement. It is a wonderful vision that has been dared by those who love their University and that for which it stands. But the same spirit out of which such a daring vision was born will carry the vision to its realization. From the sacrifices and hard work of these practical dreamers who have launched the campaign, and its supporters, will grow a still bigger and better University.
"This movement seems to be a decided step towards co-operation," said Prof. J. G. Brantet.
"The plan includes both a stadium and a commons. Therefore the trouble over the kind of a memorial should no longer interref"
Glen Baker said of the propose University Service Building. "I am working so hard for the $1,000,000 drive, I haven't time to express my emotions because we are all working for the drive. It just speaks for itself."

LAUNCH PLANS TO RAISE LOYALTY MEMORIAL FUND
Representative Students Meet and Resolve to Unite Efforts to Raise Million Dollar Loyalty Memorial Fund for University
SERVICE BUILDING AND STADIUM
Half-Million to go to University Service Building, and Half-Million Toward Stadium is Plan of Professor Baumgartner
A million dollars for a Loyalty-Memorial Fund to provide a University Service Building and to make a start on an adequate stadium is the plan launched Wednesday by a meeting of students, representing practically all student organizations.
Intimation that $200,000 or $250,000 of this sum already is in sight, was made at the meeting, and the enthusiasm of the students present prompted steps for the immediate raising of the million-dollar fund. This determination was expressed in the following resolution:
Resolved, that representatives of student organizations here assembled favor immediate action to raise a one million dollar Loyalty Memorial Fund for the erection of a University Service Building on the campus and a stadium, to be built section by section in such athletic field.
Resolved further, that the representatives here assembled present the plan to their respective organizations for endorsement.
STADIUM WOULD COST ABOUT HALF MILLION

Stadium Similar to That of New York City College Would Cost $850,000
Boston 52, 124, 6006 800bth 24.6
The cost for erecting an athletics field would be from $300,000 to $500,000, depending on the architectural treatment and the site selected. These figures are contained in the report of Prof. C. C. Williams, head of the department of civil engineering, to the Senate Memorial Committee last May.
The plan proposed of erecting a statue by association is correctly practical, and Professor Williams today.
COSTS SLIGHTLY LESS
"November, 1910, prices" he continued, "indicate a slight decrease in construction costs since my report was made. There has been no material change in labor or steel costs, 2 per cent decrease in steel costs, 3 per cent decrease in stone and sand, and 21 per inch increase in lumber."
Professor Williams' report was, in part, as follows:
(Continued on page 4)
The meeting of two representatives from each organization was called by the Man's Student Council and the Women's Student Government Association, to consider a loyalty memorial for the protection of a student union as A plan for this was presented by Prof. W. J. Baumgartner.
NEED SEEN FOR UNITED PROJECT
Glen Banker, acting president of the Mennonite Student Council provided and assisted Haungerangt to outline the plan.
"While at the Y. M. C. A. convention at Detroit a few weeks ago, Marvin Harness, William Studer, and myself took a short trip to Ann Arbor to visit the University communals." "We discussed the plans as had been made by the different organizations, and while we were discussing them I began to feel the plans would conflict, so we got together and decided to unite our plans and present to the school, through a representative..."
MANY FACILITIES POSSIBLE
"Studer as president of the A. E F, was enthusiastic about the memorial idea that that organization had worked upon. Marvin Harma as a member of the student club was interested in furthering the plans made by the council last Spring, I, as n Y. M. C. A. representative, was interested in planning plans made by the plan. It began to look as though things would be mixed up, so a simple project was made to include all plans.
"This project is that we get together and collect $1,000,000 which we'll give enough for a University Service Building large enough to include a cafeteria, a tea room, several large meeting parlors for student organizations alumi rooms, a large dance hall and some smaller ones, billiard and auction
tion such as is gathered here tonight,
a place where all efforts would be united into some big, worth while plan.

THE VOLUNTEERS
As we complain in having to go from class to class in this kind of weather, do we think of the one hundred or more University men in the coal fields? Coal mining with the thermometer where it stands now is not classed as a winter sport. After a day of dirty, back-breaking work in the wet, cold strip nines instead of a warm room and a hot radiator to get clubby at night, there s a tent. Tenta are nice in summer.
A few persons say, "Oh they are having a fine time." That is a very good remark and helps us to forget about them for we don't like to think of our friends being uncomfortable for our sake. But as you go home from the library tonight, (if you have the courage to venture to the library) just imagine you were going to your home sweet house tent.
FROM PIGEON VILLAGE
"Floating Hotels Furnish Homes for Many Persons"—Headline. Which brings to mind the fact that if the rooming situation becomes much more congested around the University, we can build house boats on Potter Lake for the roomless student.
FROM PILEON VILLAGE
Most of us are familiar with the woven rug rug, but it has remained for the Thayer Art Collection to show us the artistic values of the drawn,
or hooked, rug.
Our Colonial women wove their rag carpets, and chrocheted or braided many interesting mats. But one day some one wanted something more attractive, something with the picture quality. Maybe she had seen a bit of wonderful Oriental work. She certainly had the changing arabesque of nature before her eyes. Might not the humdum carpet-rags somehow be made to gratify her desire? Was there no other way than to wear or braid the familiar material?
She took a good piece of coarse sacking and stretched it on a rude frame. Then she drew a design upon it, perhaps with a piece of keel from the brook, and it was very simple, no doubt, very child-like and crude. She selected some old woollen clothing that answered to the colors she had in mind and tore them into carpet-strips. Then with her stout homemade crochet hook she drew one strip at a time, having folded theravelings into the center, in short close loops into the canvas, defining her outlines. The figures were filled in solidly in a conventional attempt at light and shade, the background was provided, loop by loop, and row after row, in some solid contrasting color, and though she did not dream what she
had done, a very important advance had been made in American art.
Our collection includes some very fine specimens from Pigeon Village on the Massachusetts' coast, a place beloved by lovers of America. They are about seventy-five years old, and there are conventional floral designs, quaint effects, some of them suggesting the old sampler motifs. The borders are wrought out in geometrical combinations and clever straight lines, everything has the stamp of individuality, and there is one landscape creation that Mrs. Thayra says is as perfectly good in its way as an old Flemish tapestry
The colors in all this work are soft and beautiful, comparing most favorably with the Oriental rugs, for anaerobic dyes had not yet come in, and every piece has its countless suggestions for the student of design or the more lover of the beautiful. Examples made in various places during more recent years have usually been drawn on burlap roady stamped in commercial designs and atrocious colors, and they have very little merit beyond their great durability. If the genuine art could be revived it would be an invesible boon to women of slender man who would like to express themselves in some really artistic way, yet who fail to find the opportunity.
Why should not our department of Home Economics do something in this direction? A single girl could get a whole community awakened and inspired.
We hope that the Russians will appreciate our generosity in returning Emma Goldman after enjoying her society for thirty years.
HOW TO SAVE COAL
With the coal mines operating at less than half normal and with the fuel administration calling us to conserve the precious black nuggets, it might be well for us to consider some of the important factors in conserving the limited supply.
Of course we all have our own idea of how the situation should be handled but a greater head has arisen to meet the crisis. He outlines a cure in the following "Suggestions":
Don't use Coal on your breakfast-
food. Besides being an unexcusable
waste it fails to properly stimulate
the brain cells.
Don't smoke Coal in your brier pipe Grape Nuts or "Finecut" may be found a pleasing substitute.
For use in the fireplace, grind the lumps into a powder and place it in salt shakers at each end of the mantel. Then sprinkle it on the teebol of coals every fifteen minutes at 24 hour intervals.
Call your coal dealer on the phone every two hours about that load of coal you ordered last night. If he fails to promise immediately delivery tell him its all his fault and why didn't he anticipate the needs of the town.
If you do not have a vault in the house it would be wise if you placed a guard at each cellar door and window during the hours of the night. When next winter rolls round be sure to wait until December before ordering a cellar full. Then cuss if you don't get it.

THE DANGER TO EDUCATE
President John Grier Hibben of Princeton University announced today to faculty and students a letter from Herbert Hoover;
"I am indeed glad to have an opportunity to bid you god-speed in your drive to increase the income of Princeton University. As a trustee of another university in precisely the same difficulties as Princeton, it has been my duty to give some attention to the internal situation that has grown up under it," said Mr. Prudence as part of the depreciation of the dollar but also due to the constantly enlarging pressure to handle larger numbers of students.
"The inquiries that I have made of Princeton show that the same situation exists there as in many other institutions, and that they wholly underpaid, that even actual privation is in course amongst the junior professors, and that the university is totally unable, with its present administration, to accommodate the applicants at its door.
"Throughout our educational institutions the faculty does not expect to be paid more than one-third or one-half of the sums which they could earn in commercial and professional life. This is the inherent sacrifice that

ALUMNI AND SENATE BACK MEMORIAL DRIVE
University Service Building Athletic Field and Stadium Are Agreed Upon
Plan to Improve Campus
Prof. C. C. Williams Offers Datas on Costs of Structures at Other Schools
Discussion of some form of suitable memorial for University men who have taken part in the Great War and whose years when simultaneously the Board of Alumni Visitors and the Senate Memorial Committee presented plans for an athletic stadium and for a station or "commons," respectively.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
"We felt that this would be a memorial appolied by the men for whom it is being built," said Mrs. Helen Perry Edwards, a member of the committee.
The Senate Memorial Committee, in presenting its recommendations for a student union building, urged the need for a students' center and suggested a quarter of a million dollars to build that should be put into the project.
The Board of Alumni Visitors had several days considering the problem, and had come to the conclusion that an athletic field, by its permanence, would preserve its fitness as a memorial.
The Alumni suggestion of a stadium was commended by an interview with W. O. Hamilton, published in the Daily Kansas and by C. E. McMahon, published in City Star, which gave considerable space to a raiscussion of the plan.
With these two projects before the University, discussion became general among the students, and arguments were presented by supporters of each plan. Other plans were suggested, including chimes in an artistic bell tower entrance pates to the University campus, and a monument to
ref. C, C. Wiliams obtained data as to the cost of stadiums in other cities, and estimates were made, materials and labor in recent era.
At one meeting of the Senate Memorial Committee, Prof. W. M. Hekking showed one hundred slides of
memorials, ancient and modern, in Europe and in the United States. Just before commencement it was found that sufficient information was not obtainable to form a plan at that time, and it was decided to postpone definite action until the opening of the University this fall.

Plain Tales From The Hill

K. U. will play Nebraska at football November 13, 1920.
The Board stated that it was the consensus of opinion that KU. hud entered into the contract in good faith, and as no agreement as to withdrawal had been made before Nebraska withdrew, and as K. U. played the game this fall, that there was no excuse for "abrogating the agreement."

I stay at a house in the neighborhood when the evening when I desire to study they nearly congregate one by one in my room and of all the hot air exploded. If we could only conquer the future needs this would suffice.

DIVISION OF OPINION MEETS ORDER FOR MINERS TO WORK
Some Hastily Called Meetings Express Opinion Indianapolis Meeting Yesterday Exceeds Its Authority
PART OF STRIKERS RETURN TO PITS
'Must Reach Settlement Just and Fair to Everyone,' President Wilson Says in Telegram to Head of United Mine Workers
Indianapolis, Dec. 11—Telegraphic messages were received in large numbers at National Headquarters of United Mine Workers today some condemnation, others approving the action of the miners' leaders yesterday in accepting President Wilson's proposal to end the coal strike.
Orders hearing the official seal of the union sent out from headquarters last night told the men to go back to work immediately pending the induction to be conducted in the coal industry by the President's tribunal.
Springfield, Ill., Dec. 11—Official orders directing miners in the Springfield district to report for work immediately have been received here and almost normal production of coal is expected by Monday.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Messages from hastily called meetings of the miners expressed the opinion that the men who met here were not delegated with the powers to call off the strike. Some of them took the view of Frank Farrington, of Illinois, that it would be necessary to call a convention to rescind the strike order.
St. Louis, Dec. 11—Miners in the Southern Illinois district were *vacationing today after their strike of weeks*. Miners are ready for work. Workers are not, according to reports from the Southern Illinois field today.
Washington, Dec. 11—President Wilson today in a telegraph to John L. Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers, said:
Saginaw, Miche. Dec. 11.-Michigan's 2,400 minors returned to work today after five weeks idleness, followed by a full weekend of the coal strike had been settled.
Terre Hante, Ind., Dec. 11.—No mines have returned to work today. They were awaiting the official order to return. Reports from somesee of the state, however, showed many mines working on normal schedule.
"May I not express to you and through you to the officers of your organization my appreciation of the patriotic action which you took in Indianapolis yesterday. Now we must all work together to see to it that a settlement just and fair to everyone is reached without delay."
START WAS IN 1916
Y. M. C. A. Board Began Work For Commons but War Interrupted Plans
In 1916, the board of the Y. M. C. A. started plans for a student building that would not only include the two Christian Associations but would also provide many necessary comforts for the students. The plan of the buildings, labs, housing rooms, cafeteria, and other convenient conveniences for students.
A committee was appointed, and then the war came on. The plans were deprived until the spring of 1919 when a new committee began work on the plans for a student building, which came into prominence and the Y. M. C. A. committee stopped its work because the memorial idea was the same thing. Because of conflicting opinions, the Memorial idea was carried to the end of the year, and this fall, the decision was decided not to revive the matter.
The board again got busy, and it decided that the best thing to do was to make the building prespect for the University commons and the stadium on campus. We had a captain's paign, and get every organization behind the campaign. Thus it was that a number of students representing organizations on the campus got together. Or Wednesday and planned definitely a concert or an million dollars and a greater K. U.,

Dr. F, C Allen and Pref. C, C Will go will to New York to attend the meeting of the National Collegiate Athletics Board on December 29, at the Hotel Astor.
"New rules to govern all forms of athletics will probably be taken up," said Mr. Williams. "The extension of boxing as an inter-collegiate sport will probably be one of the main considerations of the conference." Mr. Williams is the representative of the sixth national district.
Launch Plans to Raise
*(continued from page 1)
ing rooms. The top floor should be made into rooms which would be available for visiting alumni. This should not cost more than one half-million others. The other half-million should be used for the beginning of the stadium.
"Why a program of this kind?" questioned Professor Baumgartner. "To meet all needs. It would give us a student service building, take care of cafeteries, and meeting places. It would start an athletic ground. It would take care of the memorial idea and give a background to the loyalty movement. In addition, this project would help to move county clubs to work on. Lastly, it will give the whole University a combined plan to work upon.
"Now for a working committee, how shall it be chosen? I have a suggestion if you wish to take the matter up. This committee should consist of four student representatives, four faculty members (preferably alumn) and four alumni members. That is the plan that I give to you for your consideration."
PROJECT ENDERED ETHIUMISATLISTLY
One after another, faculty members and students gave the endorser a speech presented by Professor Baumgartner.
"The University A. E. F., has been trying to make plans for a suitable memorial to our comrades. Governor William Studer, president of the University A. E. F., "However, I am sure that the organization will be willing to build."
"I think the Alumni will do all they can to further the project," said Miss Agnes Thompson, secretary of the Alumni Association. "The Graduate School offers training in the service of the University, and can be used to further the movement."
"This movement will develop enthusiasm that will benefit K. U. The idea is to get all big things that will help K. U. be more proficient. Clarified Prof. F. E. Melvin, "Professor Baugartner's scheme is all right, and all we have got to do is to get back of it to make it work. The building must be a spirit of loyalty behind it."
SPIRIT OF COMMISSION DESIGN
Prof. Goldwin Goldship, representative of the Student Interest Committee, said all institutions must get behind some project; either a stadium, a memorial building, or both. Divisions must be avoided and all work together for the good of the University.
Desirability of a common meeting ground for students of the University was urged by Dr. James Natsimith and Dr. Robert M. value of additional athletic fields
Prof. George C. Shaad, active chairman last spring of the University Senate's Memorial Committee, declared that while the Senate has been working on a memorial plan, he is sure to help with any plan that would be made.
To Test Intelligence Of Freshmen Engineers
"The real need in the University," said Doctor Naismith, "is to create a spirit of comradeship among the student, and as it is now there is no place where the students may get together and become acquainted.
ATION FOLLOW MEASUREMENT
Following the general discussion,
following the instructions to the end,
and providing for putting in an immediate
operation were presented by Rudolph Uhrlaub, W. M. Bldgett and Professor Baumgartner.
ACTION FOLLOWS DECISION
Intelligence tests will be given to freshmen students of the School of Engineering, Thursday, from 9 o'clock in the morning until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, under the supervision of Prof. G. J. Hood. These tests will be given in six part arithmetic, algebra, geometry, physics, and technical information.
Professor Baumgartner's resolution unanimously adopted, provided for the appointment of a committee of two from each student organization, to meet again this afternoon to select an assistant professor, students, four alumni and four faculty members, preferably K. U. alumni.
"These investigations are being carried on all over the United States," said Denn Walker. "They are carried on by the committee on intelligence tests of the society for the promotion of engineering education." Results of a study on the committee, L. L. Thurson, Gerogie "institute of Technology."
Practically all of the largest Universities and colleges in the U. S., including Cornell are practicing in the cooperative study of entrance tests.
Stadium Would Cost About Half Million
Coach Schlademan said that Ames had been notified of K. U.'s inability to fill the date of January 16 and 17, and that the games could be played January 13 and 14. H Ames will not play the opening games on January 20, which will be scheduled with game other Valley school. Coach Schlademan said.
(Continued from page .)
"I have investigated somewhat in detail the cost of building an athletic stadium. This estimate is figured for two possible sites, namely, the site of the present McCook Field and the one directly south of Robinson Gyms. Doubts there are other sites that would be an feasible in these.
The largest attendance at any athletic contest on McCook Field to date is between 11,500 and 12,000. The director of athletics recommends that the field be 1000 capacity, and this figure was adopted for the following estimates.
Practices are being held on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, in the afternoon in the gym, and the men are given a sharp hour of practice. The girls have freshen hard, and some practice games will be staged soon.

Judge Ruppenthal Talks on "Loyalty, Why, and How.' Lloyd Richmond Receives D. S. C. for Bravery in Service
DUTCH WEDELL PRESENTS CAMPAIGN
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 12, 1910.
The University Service Building and Stadium Campaign was started off with a bang by "Dutch" Wedell this morning at an all University convocation in Robinson Gymnasium at 11:30 o'clock. This same assembly two thousand students rose in hushed respect for Lloyd Richmond while the Distinguished Service Cross was pinned on him by Captain Myers stationed at Kansas City.
Chancellor Strong presided, and requested all University men who have received or are about to receive the Chancellor's technical service to take the platform. The stage was occupied by the Chancellor, Judge J. C. Ruppenthal, Hugo "Dute" Wodell, Captain Myers of Kansas City, Missouri, students who were cited for bravery.
The convocation opened with the "War March from Athalia" by Mendelssohn played by the University Orchestra. The Men's Glee Club and the Women's Glee Club each sang two selections, Judge J.C. Ruppenthal spoke on "Loyalty, Why and How" and Robert Albach explained the work of the county clubs and their part in the present campaign.
SERVED INJURED MEN UNDER FIRE
"Lloyd强军, Army Serial No. 1472600, private, medical department,
Ambulance company No. 189. For extraordinary heroism in action at Chaudron farm, France, Sept. 29, 1918. After the infantry had been withdrawn, he voluntarily remained in an advance dressing station with wounded men whose condition made it impossible to remain in bed. Carrying for these men under heavy machine gun fire until he himself was wounded by a bursting shell which was killed two of his patients."
After an orchestra number, Chancellor Strong introduced Captain Myers who presented the Distinguished Service Cross to Lloyd Richmond, while the audience stood. Department department citation read as follows:
After the reading of this citation Captain Myers pinned the coveted cross on the coat of McDulachman, and showed signs of modest embarrassment.
"LOYALTY" NO NEW THING
Judge Ruppenthall was next introduced by the Chancellor.
"After this impressive demonstration it is useless for me to discuss in detail the subject of loyalty," said the judge.
"When I was a student here, these kind of meetings were held over in Fraser Hall, but the spirit of loyalty has not changed since then. I speak as an alumnus--others will speak as students and professors."
"We, as alumni should be loyal, and you as students must be the same. We have come from the prairies of Kansas and the cities and from many different walks of life. You are professional men and mechanics. You have already defined it or not, our thoughts go farther developed love for the University of Kansas. These are the things that make for loyalty in our hearts.
"LOYALTY SHOULD MEAN ACTION." "When we consider the matter of loyalty," he continued, "whether we define it r, our thoughts farther when we express it in direct action, Loyalty is what we do. Lyalty is vain, but loyalty in action and force is what the University is concerned in.
"We, as Americans," he remarked,
"probably do more thinking in one hour than any other people on the face of Earth." He then promised to prince it to quit with our thoughts and without translating them into action.
One purpose of your coming here is to get the power that will translate your purposes into something tangible.
"Our fault lies in the fact that we can more easily repeat a narrative of another action that commit an action of our own. We<sub>e</sub>, as alumni, and you as students have the chance, and it is our duty, as we go out into the world, to stand up for the University and make our loyalty a definite action."
"We should not stop with urging interest of all high school students, but we have the additional duty of refusing unjust and unfair assistance to children whose chance of connecting up again the men and women who have in time
past been students in this University.
When you go to your home this Thankgiving vacation it is most es-
sential to you. It helps the hope and aims of this University.
"Moreover you should size this opportunity to give a fitting memorial for those who gave their lives that this nation might live."
The Men's Glee Club sang two selections: Old K. U. U. Song, composed by Prof. F. E. Kendrie and the Winter Song by Bulland.
After the Men's Glee Club sang, Chanceller Strong announced that Howard Fleeson, P21, and Eugene Ferguson, c'22, had been cited for brevity in France. The audience rose to two platforms, two as they stood on the platform.
TURN "LIP SERVICE" TO ACTION
"The 'Putting K. U. First' stuff in getting to be a regular joke," said Robert Albach, member of the Student Council. "The Loyalty Committee has been working in which this 'lip service' can be put into action. First, we are asking one person from each county to be responsible for the calling of a meeting of students from that county; and second, we are putting for the million-dollar campaign."
He explained there are three rea- sons for organizing the county clubs. First, to get alumni back in touch with the University.
Secondly, to get the high school seniors into the idea of coming to the University of Kansas. Thirdly, to get the people of Kansas out of the notion that the University is for dances and frivolity.

"Let them tell about it when one of our students receives a Rhodes Scholarship, or one of our professors of valued prize in a foreign country."
Belts were growing looser and the audience a little restless when Hugo "Dutch" Weilell was introduced, but the words weaught could the student's ears.
"The students who are here now are the real stickers—the ones who will put this big thing across," said Mr. Wedell, and he went on to describe the project for the erection of a Stadium and University Service Building as a memorial to K. U. men in the war.
COUNTY CLUBS URGED TO ORGANIZE AT ONCE
"We've bit off a bite—a million dollar drive. The committee went to the edge and jumped off. Now we must sink or swim. We must avoid divisions in this institution. We must set to work.
"We'll take both memorial projects and put them over.
"The project is a big one and will appeal to big men." continued Wedell. "I think he's been praised, backed by a united spirit at K. U., we can really put this across.
Only one minor case of sickness was reported by the University Hospital. Tuesday morning, Up-to-date there has not been a single case of "din", and Doctor Seamus said that the sickness break out during the rest of the year.

The Geology and Minerals Club will have an important meeting today to appoint an editor and assistant to take charge of the publication of the minedition of the Kanasa Engineers' magazine which is published quarterly. The mining edition will be out in May.
Plans will be formulated for engineer's day which will take place in the spring. This is an annual occasion, but plans are being made to make it the biggest day in the history of the college.
A short talk will possibly be made by Professor C. M. Young on the coal situation. Professor Young returned Wednesday after spending several days looking over the coal fields near Pittsburg.

FLONZALEY'S PLEASE
Large Audience Hears String Quartet in Classical Program In Robinson Gymnasium
An audience of sixteen hundred in Robinson Gymnasium last night which heard the Flonzaleh concert was completely won over by the womens' performance, and the beginning of the first number. The second number the Andante Fumebre by Tachikowsky, was undoubtedly the climax of the concert, and it has been the last several minutes after its rendition. The artists were continuously applauded between numbers throughout the concert which clearly showed the reception given for this kind of masteries as the Flonzaleh Quartet.
Their playing throughout showed the result of long years of work together, playing for three years only at the Floncalylla villa, Mr. Coppe's Switzerland residence, before attenting extended concert work.
The next regular number on the Course after Sousa's Band will be by Percy Grainger, January 13.

FUEL ADMINISTRATOR RESIGNS POSITION
Settlement of Coal Strike on Wilson's Terms Unsatisfactory To Garfield
Washington, Dec. 12—President Wilson will accept the resignation of Foil Administrator Garfield immediate. The announcement is announced at the White House today.
Garfield's letter asking that he be relieved of his duties was forwarded to the President by Secretary Tumulty this morning. Garfield's resignation followed settlement of the coal strike on the basis of President Wilson's proposal which was that the miners should have a 14 per cent increase and a commission would be appointed to study the whole mining situation and make further changes in the proposed suggestion. When this proposition was suggested to the miners, Garfield said it was unsatisfactory to him. He wanted the strike settled on a basis of a 14 percent increase only.
The authority of Fuel Administrator Garfield will be exercised by Rail Director Hines and his regional directors, it was announced. The tone of Garfield's letter to the President was said to be friendly. It was said he held an absolutely unyielding attitude towards the miners.
Laws Hear Professor Explain K. U. First Idea
Jurisprudence club of the law school met Wednesday evening at the Sigma Nu house.
The principal topic discussed by the club was "How to Put K. U. First." Professors Humble and Goldsmith gave talks. Some of the ways in which K. U. is not first were brought out during the discussion. The spirit of the course was poor according to Professor Humble. The feeling of superiority among the students toward the students at the other institutions is too self-evident. All an all too apparent example of this feeling of superiority was displayed by the K. K. Klnn at the Thanksgiving game in the formation which was shortly proven to be untrue, asserted Prof. Humble. "The need for pavement on the drives through the campus is also very apparent to every student, and the students spend as much time complaining about our roads as they do about their heartless instructors, there would be paving problems and a lack of building before next fall," concluded the professor.
Millenium Not to Come Next Week Says Connor
Another authority has given out the information that the world will not come to an end on December 17, as to be by Porta, the French astronomer.
P. Connor, weather observer in Kansas City, Mo., in an interview in the Kansas City Star Wednesday said "No astronomer of real standing is giving the prediction serious attention. Men of science deny that other members of the solar system could so affect our atmosphere.
The theory on which the Frenchman bases his forecast is the existence of magnetic disturbances caused by other planets upon the earth and sun.
Mr. Connison continued "If this were true, astronomers, who know the exact positions of the planets in this universe, could fordell by hundreds of years the arrival of storms, tornadoes and other disturbances. This talk about the world ending December 1 is, of course, the sheerest folly."

Temporary Meeting Transfers Powers of Appointing Executives to Loyalty Committee
To Start Immediate Action
The meeting had been called to elect an executive committee and has start immediate action on theoyal-memorial plan that was approved.

Appointment of an executive committee for carrying out the million-mollar memorial project was transcribed to the Loyalty Committee by the representatives of the organization, and served on a "hourly afternoon in Myers Hall."
admitted at the meeting Wednesday.
On the ground that the Loyalty Committee decided the appointment of a senior committee be transferred from the meeting as called and placed in the hands of the Loyalty Committee. This reconsideration was placed before the meeting by Prof. W. J. Baumgartner, and action was taken by adoption of a resolution.
Another resolution was passed, asking the Loyalty Committee to see to it that an executive committee is selected without delay; this committee is to consist of four or six students selected by the student members on the Loyalty Committee, four or six faculty members appointed by the Chancellor, and four or six alumunii in the Alumni Association; the three groups above mentioned to have equal representation.
Judge J. C. Ruppenthal, LL.B'95,
now a member of the K. U. faculty,
spoke for the alumni.
"I like the spirit displayed by the members here assembled. It shows the student pen, but we have the'enemies in our business that arouse the enthusiasm of these outside the University by making them feel that the goal we are mining for is a good one. This applies in parallels to students who are looking forward to college."

THE SMITH FAMILY
FRIDAY, DEC. 12, 1919.
Poor Father Smith deserves our sympathy around the first of the month. Forty-three young Smiths are enrolled in the University. Twenty-seven of them are men.
A study of their Christian names will reveal the versatility of Father Smith. By a skillful manipulation of middle names and a choice selection of those that begin with X, Y, or Z he has avoided any serious duplication. Three times she has familiarized the Smith by prefixing a "William" and twice respectively, "Henry," and "Howard," but a third different name has added the necessary note of distinction.
Those forty-three Smiths are a hopeful sign in this day of lamentations for the large number of hyphenated Americans. With forty-three Smiths in the University of Kansas and hundreds of younger Smiths preparing to enter, we ought not to have any fear that our nation is being foreignized by a lot of people with more elaborate names than the Smiths.
P. Connor says the end of the world will not occur December 17. But don't feel too safe yet, Mr. Connor's statements have been disproved more than once.
THE SLIP ON SUGAR
THE SLIP ON SUGAR
Many people are like the Irishman who declared that his hind sight was a great deal better than his fore-sight. But with each cont'd advance he is necessarily much more expensive; millions of dollars more expensive, it is pretty hard to forgive the men who are responsible.
These men were supposed to understand their business, to know how to look ahead and size up world conditions. But we are now serenely told that "somebody's foot slipped." The Cuban output could have been purchased last summer for six cents a pound, and now we are likely to pay twenty to thirty cents a pound before the situation can possibly be stabilized.
Another slip on the part of the commission was in fixing the price without limiting the consumption which has increased at an unheard-of rate. Everybody has seemed obessed with the idea of making up to himself for the sugar deprivation so cheerfully endured under the war-restrictions. Mr Hoover suggests a plan for general rationing, and he thinks that the regulating the enormous demand for candy and soft drinks would send the speculators out of the market. But the Department of Justice has thrown up its hands in despair, and abandoned any attempt as sugar
control.
The best we can do is to "mush along." Everything considered, the snow is very soft and deep, but Kansas people, especially, are always very vanguard about the net crop. We can send a lot of mighty pleasant thought to the sugar planters. And meantime, suppose we cultivate a taste for sorghum.
Truth, they say may be stronger than fiction but there surely must be some mistake about the professor from the University of Wisconsin being found wandering around with $25,000 in his pockets.
THE LIBRARY CRIMINAL
Is the University being swept by a crime wave?
The numbers of overcalls, notebooks and other articles which have been reported taken from the library during the month just passed, 'indicates that something is radically wrong. It would seem that a course in ethics should be prescribed for some students to teach them "Thou shalt not covet——"
Coming at a time when the "Put K. U. First" movement is in its phase of development, this virulent practice takes on a greater significance. Nothing could harm the University more; nothing could give it a blacker eye. It gives rise to the belief that the students of K. U. are a set of thives and are no to be trusted.
It matters not that the evil wrought has been the work of but a few unthoughtful ones. Reflection is cast upon the University as a whole—and it is up to the great majority of horest, conscientious and trustworthy students to ferret out the offenders and see it to that proper punishment is meted out to them
Until such practices as these cease, the Loyalty Campaign cannot hope to succeed.
It is such a pleasure to hear that the magnazines are all to be published again. It is doubtful if the nation could have gotten along much longer without being told what particular tooth paste is in style just now.

Guide To Odd Gifts
Madeline is crazy about music, just any kind. She plays everything she can get her hands on. But the popular music is six months getting out to her town. If you would take her half a dozen of the latest song hits when you go home for vacation time, Madeline loves you. T.J. Eli Bell Music Company has quite a complete line of the latest song and dance music at prices from fifteen to thirty-five cents. Some of the latest music that Madeline would like is The Vamp, My Baby's Arms, Breeze, Swanee, Oh What a Pail was Mary, Nobody Knows and Nobody Seems to Care. Ive Got My Captain Working With You. I love playing of Playing Second Fiddle, You'd Be Surprised, I Used to Call Her Baby, and I Found the Nesting Place of the Bluebird.
Bessie is opposed to extravagance in any form, in anybody. She carries her belief so far in her own conduct that she 'earns' her keep from her father. She also never thinks of buying herself such a foolish article as a pair of Pulilan slippers, she could probably be induced to wear a gift pair on those numerous perforations of hers to the towns where she goes in search of food. She likes brown leather rulman slippers at last year's prices, $125 a pair.
Aunt Josephine was brought up to believe that Christmas gifts should be useful. There is no harm in their being beautiful as well.

That would be cheap at half the price, which if you buy one with sleeves it is $3.75, without $2.25.

OLDEST SONG
What would you say if you were asked to name the oldest tune in the world? The Boston Herald thinks that it is the air sung commonly to "For He's a Jolly Good Follow," a bachchanian ditty.
Y. M. to Meet Thursday Afternoon
Con Hoffman will continue his discussion of his experiences in the war prison camps Thursday at 4:30 in Myers Hall. This is the second of a series of addresses which Mr. Hoffman is giving at the regular weekly meeting of the Y. M. C. A., Mr. Hoffman, and American prison camps during the war, and "knows his stuff", according to one of the men who heard him last week.
The air to which is sung the words "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow," says the Herald, can be traced to distant Mediterranean countries. Its origin is lost in antiquity, but it is supposed to have been learned from ancient Babylonians by the Egyptians, who popularized it in Asia Minor Arabis still sing it.
Crusaders caught the tune from their Saracen enemies and sung it under the walls of Jerusalem. The air was ultimately carried into Europe, where it survived, in various forms among folk songs of different nations

The words were sung to the old popular tune 'Bring On the Lord.' The swing of the twenty-two verses.
The air is still popular in France as it is in England and America, but few of the doughty bobbies, tommies and pollinum humming in chorus can have suspected the varied history of the simple tune—The Musical Leader.
Like most topical songs, this one was of short-lived popularity, but in 1871 it suddenly echoed from one end to another. Marie Antonie gave birth to tion heir, and the baby prince, in accordance with French custom, was placed under the care of a robust peasant fosterer. The young princess royal charge to sleep with the old song of her village home. The girl mother began, almost unconsciously, to repute the simple refrain, and, to her surprise, the song became the crate of the day.

QUALITY LURELLS
Those young Kansans who have volunteered to dig coal are displaying the same quality of patriotism that they showed on the battlefields or France. If then they fought for their country and their homes, now they are working or them. Notwithstanding they thus earn gratitude and applause, they have been the objects of scorn and denunciation by the leader of the striking miners in Kansas, as well as the call that spended. He has, Alexander Howat, says, intensified the situation. "Nothing." Howat adds, "could have been done that would have made the miners more determined."

Plans are Well Underway
Basketball practice has been interrupted Thursday and Friday of this week by the seats in the gymnasium for convoction, but is being replaced by talks on theory of basketball and interpretation of the rules, as well. The new pronounced Director of Athletics, Forrest C. Allen, this morning.
Freshmen and Varsity Men Will Be Encouraged to Tryout For First Team
Basketball plans are well underway, announced Varsity Coach Karl Schlaademann, and with the reduced squad, much progress is being made.
A new plan of obtaining material has been decided upon by the coaches. The gym instructors, who give as a large part of their work, practice basketball games, will watch the practice of their pupils, and when any one shows quality of playing, he will receive praise, while they will after watch the pupil, release him from gym work and transfer him to Varsity practice.
This plan will be used with both freshman and Varsity men, who are not on the squat at present and is hoped by the coaches to greatly increase the caliber and practice or play.
"We will thus give every student a chance to tryout for the teams without interfering with his gym work," said Direcor Allen, "and will get men who would not have the time or would not take the trouble to try out for the Varsity, as they don't deem themselves good enough."
Allied Prisoners Fared Badly in German Camps
"In spite of the hunger they suffered and the conditions they endured, the courage and fortitude of the Allied prisoners in the German Prison Camps were wonderful," said Con Hoffman. "A fierce Y. M. C. a meeting Thursday."
"The American, English and French prisoners fared better than the other men because they received food packages from home. One day I saw an Italian come out of the maze line with a bowl of soup. He stumbled and spilled the soup on the ground. Before he could eat, the meat and the scraps of vegetables that had been in the soup about twenty men scrambled for them."
In order to illustrate how the men missed the home life Mr. Hoffman related this incident: "I took my little daughter, Louise, into the camp with me one day, and the men almost mobbed her to get close enough to touch her. One of them went times with bits of chocolate for her, just to be able to be near her."
In all the German Camps, thirteen Y. M. C. A secretaries served prisoners of twenty-nine nationalities.
Mr. Hoffman displayed papers, programs, and literature of all sorts printed in the camps.
Next week Mr. Hoffman will lecture on "The German Revolution." Mr. Hoffman was in Germany during the war and has interesting stories to relate.

Women Mad Over Furs Say American Dealers
Anti-strike legislation now before Congress will be discussed and planned to fight them, according to Gemper. Proposals for organization of a labor party are likely to be made.
That American women have gone mad over fur, is the belief of big fur dealers. Although dealers have been hard pressed to meet the demand, they say prices are higher but that makes no difference to the woman—they have the best choice to have the money to pay for them.
Natural muskrat, seal dyed muskrat and raccoons fur are the most popular. In the East there is particular demand for high priced furs from China. The fur is rich. Russian sable coat sells for as high as $9,000. Matching is the hardest thing fur manufacturers have to contend with and women will not stand for blonded garments. A natural muskrat takes expert's time and searching.

Burners to be Installed—Schoo Will Run Until Vacation, Says Shea
"The University will begin to burn oil for fuel next Monday morning," said John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds, this morning. "Preparation for using oil at the university will be difficult, but I expect the burners to be installed and everything in readiness by Monday morning."
The oil burners were manufactured in Kansas City and will be brought to Lawrence today. The first car of oi has arrived and more is on the way. A 14,000 gallon storage tank has been purchased and will be set up near the heating plant. It has been delayed in shipment, but is expected to arrive soon. It will be handed from the cars to the storage tank on the hill in tank wargens.
"I look for the coal situation to remain serious at least as long as cold weather lasts, and probably longer," she said. "We need to harden to obtain in large quantities and we are going to be prepared. It is certain that we will be able to run into Christmas vacation, and will be going when the vacation ends."

Doesn't Fix 2.75 percent Beer
Court Decision Means Clamping Down of Lid Where Federal Court Injunction Lifted
Washington, Dec. 15.—In a decision that swept aside all contention of the liquor interests, it supreme court today by unanimous decreed that wartime prohibition was constitutional.
It must continue force until peace is declared.
The decision probably means defeat of all efforts to dispose of the huge stocks of liquor now in the country, as international prohibition becomes effective.
The decision read by Justice Brandeis before a court crowded with attorneys of the liquor interests and the prohibition forces, took up the action of the liquor interest in their attacks on a lawmaker who there was no foundation for them.
The action today does not settle the constitutionality of the Boistead Enforcement Act or of the legality of the sale of 2.75 per cent beer.
The court decision means the clamping down again of the lid in all sections where it was lifted, by federal court injunction, and subjects all who sold intoxicating liquor to prosecution.
In Louisville, St. Louis, New Orleans and Providence, courts held the act unconstitutional.
In New York, Boston, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, and Chicago along the
Pacific Coast and other places, the a.
was unheld.
The decision was a sweeping victory for the contention of the prohibitionists and the government. It means that the millions of gallons of intoxicating oil now stored throughout the country, and valued at about 1 billion dollars will be a total loss unless peace is proclaimed before Christmas, or if it is not effective. Because of the decision, the government will loose 440 million dollars in revenue from whiskey unless the ban is lifted before January 16.

Those organizations that have had their group pictures taken should have their glasses in the hands of employees who will be going on Christmas holidays, said Luther Hangen this morning.

GERMANS ANSWER NOTE
WILL SIGN PROTOCOL
Even Scrapa Flow Incident Incident Gives Promise of Settlement
Paris, Dec. 15. — The German reply to the Allied note demanding signature of the peace treaty protocol was submitted at 10:20 o'clock this morning. Baron von Lersner handed the note to Paul Dutesta, secretary of the peace conference with whom he discussed its contents.
The note declares Germany's intention to execute the peace treaty. It-takes note of the allied promise to repatriate German war prisoners, then develops Germany's desires regarding Seaport flower incident
The reply, it is understand, is most conciliatory throughout. While still holding out against full repatriation demanded by the allies for the Scapa Flow incident, the impression is given that a solution will be easily arrived at. Von Lerner announced that the German navy would give up conversation with the allied representatives regarding Scapa Flow would arrive soon.
The impression prevails that the Germans will sign the protocol and exchange ratifications of the treaty before the end of this month.
PROM IS POSTPONED
Opening of Basketball Season Season Necessitates Placing Permanent Seat in Gym
The Junior Prom will not be held January 16.
This was the announcement this morning of the prom managers Bill Wells and Rudy Baumann in changing the roster for the special season. Reasons given were that the basketball season which opens with a game with the Emporia Normals here January 6 necessates the presence of permanent seats in the gymnasium.
The Prom was set early this year with the idea of preceding the basketball season, the managers say, and we expected that the season would not start until after the sixteenth, but with a game scheduled for January 6, it would be quite impossible to get any preparations made in time. The basketball season is over early in March, and new features that it would be impassible to do justice to at the earlier date.

EVERY ORGANIZATION BEHIND LOYALTY IDEA
Many Committees Have Lent Their Support to Mamorial Plans
Membership
Faculty Members and Alumni May be Elected to Membership
BY PROF. F. E. MELVIN
At a meeting on September 25, 1919, of the University of New York, the University Affairs of the University, composed equally of representative of both student government organizations and of the University senate, a committee was decided upon which should form the Board of Trustees. This committee consists of the chairman and vice-chairman of the Joint Committee the presidents of the two student councils and Ralph Rodkey, with Prof. F. J. G. Brantz as chairman. When the idea of a K. U. Loyalty Bar of the committee mentioned it to the chairman who requested its presentation with their endorsement to the joint committee on student affairs.
Therefore the Loyalty Plan was explained to this committee on October 8, 1934, and immediately adopted as their special program with the understanding that a Loyalty Movement Co-operating Organization under Mr. Melvin be effected in conjunction with their own
Then, at the instance of the student members of the joint committee, the Loyalty Movement plans were outlined for the groups and to the Council of the W.S.G.A., who unanimously voted to concur in the endorsement of the program. Subsequently the Loyalty Movement was adopted or endorsed by the several class societies, the class societies, and various special organizations. Meanwhile, the directors of the Alumni Association had the Loyalty Movement explained to them at their meeting on November 1 and co-operate nearly in the movement.
DECIDE BASIC PRINCIPLES
This statement of the history of the adoption of the Loyalty Program afforded specialization and procedure. Thus the Program Committee though unable to create immediately the full Co-operating Organization at once decided upon the basic principles of such an organization, then appointed a executive committee to carry out details of the program as adopted, pending the lining up of participating organizations who should be represented in the general committee which would determine the movements of the Loyalty Movement.
The general Co-operating Committee comprises the members of the Co-ordinating Committee, plus the president or ranking officer of both the College and each of the classes of the University, the Graduate Club, the class societies (Schem, Torch, Owl, *Hiemets* and *Sphinx*), the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., the Quill Club, *Taurus*, the Economics Club, Editor of the Kansas, Oread Magazine, Sour Owl, Jayhawker, Kansas Engineer, etc.

The executive or co-ordination committee of the Loyalty Movement program committee of the joint committee on student affairs, as named above, the chairman of the Loyalty Movement selected by that body, and the president (or other ranking officer) of the university organization. Thus it includes in addition to the presidents of the two student councils, the secretary of the alumni association, the general secretaries of the University Y.M.C.A., the president of athletics, University chess club, W.A.A., president of the A.E.F.

In so far as the program has already been adopted and concerned in by co-operating organizations the movement can be carried on with a team of three to four meetings by the use of the machinery of the several agencies uniting in the movement, the task of the loyalty executive committee being chiefly to stimulate and co-ordinate the operations of these co-operating agencies. 5. The movement particularly seeks to be able to undertake undertaskings or endorsing organizations in line with the spirit of the Loyal Movement which can be co-ordinated with or incorporated in the general program and will back so far as possible such undertakings, if they have been first approved by the Loyal Management.

WOULD LIMIT PAPERS
Bill of Congressman Anthony of Kansas Will Cut Dailies to 24 Pages
Washington, Dec. 15.—With the shortage of white paper daily becoming more acute, the House postoffice committee today begin consideration of the bill of Representative Anthony, Kansas, to limit the size of all publications transmitted through the mails.
Representative Anthony predicts that unless Congress acts speedily, scores of smaller publications will be forced to suspend for lack of paper. Reporter Rachel Koehler fiascing to allow mailing privileges to any daily of more than twenty-four pages, and Sunday papers of more than thirty-six, any weekly publication of more than seventy-five pages or fewer, may magnify of more than 109 pages.
Jason Rogers of the New York Globe, representative of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, and the magazine owners are expected to appear before the committee.
"The situation," Anthony said, "is just this. The paper mills already have contracted for fifty per cent more paper than they can manufacture in 19p0. Hundreds of smaller papers have been unable to contract for paper at any price, although the cost to the publishers per pound which was around 2 cents before the war, is now between 10 and 15 cents."

UNIVERSITY TO BURN OIL AFTER CHRISTMAS
Obtained
New Fuel Will Take Place o Coal Until Latter Can be
"We will burn oil after the Christmas vacation until we can obtain a sufficient amount of the kind of coal used in our facilities," said John Sheen this morning.
Two large cisterns near Fraser Hall have been cleaned out and will be used for storing the oil if necessary.
"James A Kimbail has made a contract with the Standard Oil Company whereby we can obtain any amount of oil we will need, but due to the greater expense we will return to coal burning as soon as possible."
Mr. Siebel was not able to make any estimate on how much oil would be used by the University in a day or what the cost would be or that length of time, only that any amount of oil wanted could be obtained and that the expense will be considerably above that of burning coal.

K. U. MINERS' OUTPUT 50 CARLOADS OF COAL
First Contingent of 43 Returns After Two Weeks in Pittsburg Field
Experience Worth While
Dinner at Muehleback, With Speeches by "Workers" Finishes "Vacation" Period
After mining 2500 tons or fifty cars of coal the First Detachment of the K. U. Volunteer Miners returned to classes this morning. Although the entire two weeks spent in the Pittsburg coal fields by the forty-three men was a time of hard work anms bad living conditions not a single one of them regretted his trip when he joined the Union station in Kansas City where he felt the warm reception recorded by the lobby in the lobby. W. D. Heidrik, a Kansas City cattle salesman, bought cigars for the entire crew and the husty cheers that rang out started the natives of the city.
However, these were not the finish of the yellls, for the "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk" boomed from the throats of the miners several times, the car that were mined were counted by tents and fives and then the old time cry, "Did we beat the Aggies?" and the primary answer sprend forth loud and large. The men left for the Muebach Hotel, the best looking bunch of men that ever entered the precinct of Kansas City's select circles.
A banquet at noon was served at which Pat Pedroja, electric pump man and Senior Law, presided as toastmaster, with practically the entire bunch of men responding to toasts.
Wint Smith, foreman and timekeeper of the gang said a few words of appreciation of the work done by the men while in camp and especially the hearty co-operation given him throughout the trip. He told of the appreciation of the people of the state and of the success of the movement that was started with the idea of allowing freezing towns with necessary appliances to Smith, the Governor will send three members of the first contingent of K. U. Miners, a personal letter of appreciation.
After a banquet a line party at the Orpheum was staged and the miners sat through the show very quietly but when it was time to go they arose in a body and gave a mighty Rock Chalk that woke the sleepy patrons of the house. After counting the cars by tens again the Miners entrained for Lawrence.
The first K. U. Volunteers in the coal fauld mined one third the coals mined by volunteers. They lived under very adverse circumstances but were able to survive and say that he was not amply repaid in money as well as experience. The state receivers for the mines in the Pittsburgh district added $2 to each miner during their service, the nation of the excellent service by the forty-three men in the detachment.
Union Miners at Work In all Kansas Mines
Pittsburg, Kan., Dec. 15—Reports today indicated union miners were at work in all Kansas mines. At the offices of the state receiver it was stated an output of 100 cars was expected by tonight.
The last of the Kansas volunteers, those who kept "dog watch," firing bolsters, etc., were relieved by union men this morning. The state troops setting up on their equipment here preparatory to their departure.
Arkansas Agrees to New Dean Payetteville, Ark. Dec. 15.—An announcement was made here today that Radford Knapp of Washington has accepted the deanship of the College of Agriculture of the University of Missouri. In January, Jan. 16. Knapp leaves the post of chief of agriculture extension service in southern states, which he has held for the last 10 years.
Yale-Harvard vs. Oxford-Cambridge? Cambridge, Cambridge, Dec. 15. Yale and Harvard may combine field and track talent and send their teams to England next summer to engage with players on the football bridge. Hawaii's athletic body will consider the subject this week and is expected to act favorably.

ONE SINGLE OBJECTIVE
The first thing to keep in mind in the million dollar Loyalty-Memorial campaign is that there is one single objective. The drive is for a million dollar Loyalty-Memorial fund and not a double drive for two different purposes. The fund of course will be used for the double purpose of erecting a student union building and a stadium to be built section by section, but there must be no antagonism between these two purposes during the drive.
AN OPEN DOOR
The campaign must begin and end with a unified purpose. No factionalism must be allowed to creep in and destroy the larger objective. The quibbling over details which so often disurts a movement must be carefully avoided to insure a harmonious effort in putting K, U. First.
It is sometimes said that a caferrion on the Hill does not pay, and if it did that there is no place to put it.
What about a lunch wagon? A clever girl does wonders with a tea-wagon and a chafing dish. Why does somebody find a royal road to fame and fortune this icy-footed, zero weather by running into some convenient basement with any kind of a cart with any kind of a hot bite to eat at lunch time? There are all sorts of little portable heating things that might be easily utilized. And there is no end to the hot things that might be served, —hot soup, dog hot, tamales, hot coney, not to mention hot doughnuts or hot mince pie. Or hot coffee or tea, cocoa or milk would not be sneezed at. But stuff of all sort would warm the cockles of the soul and save the walk down the hill and back again, and extra time might come handy for extra work.
A KEEN HISTORY
Few persons realize how our modern slang has evolved. Let's analyze thoughtfully, scientifically, and with precision the origin of the much used adjective "keen," a word which has probably a wider range of meaning than any other word in the English language. The word was first coined by the Theda Bara of ancient times, the Siren of Nile Valley, Coc Patra.
She was sitting by the clear water of the swifty flowing Dead Sea, surrounded by many wooores. The sun, cutting low in the east, casting grotesque shadows with fantastic movements through the dense foliage of the stately persimmon trees. It was autumn. The grass was just beginning to turn green. Far in the distance came warning rumbles of an impending eruption of Mt. Veaucus interrupted at irregular intervals by the
sharp bark of the oxen grazing peace-
dark of the near shading plank on the nearby sandbar. Nature provides a banquet for New York, now a distinguished suitor, with an amorous wish, dipped his trusty helmet into the water, bringing forth a beverage, which by its very nature, having been dead and fermented for ages, was of the very sort which men inherently desire. Bananas, olives and watermelons blown from the treetops lay in thick windows upon the turf.
Mark Anthony, always popular with the fair sex, was just returning from a hard-fought billiard game. Apouching our heroine, he said, "Mehthinks perlence I've torn my new Emery shirt."
"Pray, my lord, can I not be of service?" asked the fair one. Mark, being a kind man, could not refuse her. Taking the needle from her embroidery, Miss Patra graciously mended the rent. Then she snapped the silken thread with her father's Gillette blade. "In't that 'keen?' she remarked, meaning that the blade was sharp.
Mr. Anthony thought she was speaking of his new shirt. The wooer with the lined tinted Phoenix, the booth with the new Jno. B., the goof with the Kremer collar button, the gump with the New President suspenders, the bird with the Florishem kicks—each thought his particular distinguished apparel was being complented. "Keen is right," they proclaimed in unison.
And to this day "keen" may be used not only in reference to razor blades, hats, hats, collar buttons, suspenders, and shoes, but also to anything that allows of description. So the next time you call into use this word remember that you are only some 2500 years behind.
The Chicago Tribune complains that the characters are always hissing unblessing phrases such as "How dare you?" Now there is an art in effective hissing and to appreciate fully its value a person should practice daily. Suppose you start the first day with, "Physicism pleasias psisalis" and then add it to the phrase as your hissing is improved.

BE SENSIBLE: SHOP EARLY
The Shop Early logan is full of good sense and practical wisdom. I is not only a great convenience it women, but it is even greater convenience to the buyer. By following the woman can, in the first place make a close calculation on what she can afford to spend, how many presses she can buy and then take him home, when she prefers, stores she knows will have just the goods she wants to purchase. More than this she will find it much easier to secure the best attention in these stores before the rush begins, before a hundred people are coming into town, so that he is be waited on at once. Then the trip to the store and home again is made so much more easily and with so much more comfort when the cars are crowded and when even standing room and a strap are hard enough to fit into the Shop Early slogan in mind and profit by it.—The Baltimore American.

Somewhere out in space millions of people have quit their jobs every day and go out for an ethereal good time. How far they travel in the airless streets of the infinite nobody knows. The people of this planet see them only after they reach the atmosphere, south. Then their good time is over. Traveling through the fictional air makes them red hot. Most of them burn up. Others come down to be lost in the sea with a final bias or to be buried in the ground as deep as four or five-four miles as second compuls.
A few million people have flown off the handle in the industrial world and are whizzing through economic space, spending like moguls and loading like Ludlman's dog. After they hit the atmosphere of necessity there's going to be a flash and a thud—New York Sun.
Guide To Odd Gifts
This column is for the assistance of
of readers of the Daily Kansas and
mention of merchants not made as
nothing, Space cannot be purchased.
Philip is a travelling man. He has such a time with his laundry and his mending that he declares he will settle down as soon as some good woman will accept him. (That is the perplexity of a man still老实, that their wife should be a combination of cook, seamstress, laundress, and nurse). While he is still looking for that woman, and it will probably be some time before she finds her in this stage of life, he will be a bad idea to stick into his Christmas package a little bachelor help in the way of a nound green tin card carrying two spools of thread, needles and a thimble, so he may be fairly presentable when he can’t “to sentence herself” to her!
If you are,particularly fond of candy and you think Sister Sue will require some special urgency to induce her to make you some while you are home a pretty little fudge apron embroidered in cross stitch that you will find in the department stores may be the necessary inspiration.
Miriam has been your closest friend and confidante, almost your father confessor. A Good Fairy that glots in the dark a symbol of guidance and inspiration, will express your sentiment and be a treasured ornament to her private siting room. The University Book Store handles them.
Aunt Jane is a very busy woman and oh, so forgetful of her engagements. If you send her a little set of three books of green leather binding to keep her from getting too attached to keep her appointments, send her letters to the right addresses and buy all the things she wants downtown because she has them all written down in these little books. And how many of us have to get into religious faiths and yours. These book sets are on display in a popular supply store window on Massachusetts Street
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS
The action of so many of the large cities of the country—Philadelphia and New York among those in the East—in determining to continue the daylight-saving scheme, in spite of the republic's repeal of the rule, will require a decisive indication of the national sentiment on the subject. These local measures are all right so far as they go, but they can only be considered as palliatives and temporary expeditients. The question will depend on whether Congress can be brought to reconsider its action and to realize that it was stamped by a minority in repealing a measure that had commended itself to the vast majority as wife, wise and expressive. A uniformity of time zones and of railway table practice the local daylight-saving ordinances may create confusion, while preserving the benefits of longer daylight hours for rest and recreation for the separate community. In addition to this local revival of the summer-clock adjustment, is a thoroughly organized national mission to carry the fight into Congress and to bring about a re-enforcement of the time zone law and its daylight-saving laws—Philadelphia Public Ledger.

It is recent contributor to the Everett Missouri, has his to say about gambling conditions at the university; "Playing poker as a gambling game is one of the worst curses that has ever struck this country. It is also one of the worst curses that has ever struck this country. If all the gambling that goes on among the students of the university were revealed it would indeed
be a startling revelation. The general public, the students, and the members of the faculty have no conception of the amount of gambling that goes on. They have not been horrified or acquainted but even they can significance the value of it."
K. U. must either become a great university or else take a back seat as an educational institution.

Dear Santa:
Please send me a lot of things for my little Ford. I love it very much and should like a nice radiator cover to keep it warm and some nice side curtains to keep it dry. I am a good boy.
Sammie Hunter.
Dear Santa Claus:
I am a good little boy and I teach chemistry on the Hill. I want so many things this year, dear Santa, that it would take a long, long time to enumerate them. But most of all, dear Santa, I want some more looking glasses. You see, those I did have are always later in the summer after Christmas. So whatever you do, Santa, don't forget, my looking glasses.
Howard Elsey.
Erasmus Haworth.
Dear Santo:
For goodness sake send me some petal powder. I need some to come down the hill. All the other boys have 'em.
Willie Dill,
Dear Santa:
Dear Santa:
I don't know if you make the oil fields on Christmas Eve or not mut if you don't, you can leave my presents at my home in Lawrence an I may be more grateful being me some more lively for my alliances as I have only eleven in mine.
About the worst thing I want is a big gold ring set with a nice gem of flawless gurine jet back into耳. Besides a new moustache, I've worn this one for years.) I don't know what else you had better bring. Please don't forget
I want a new sliderule as I must have something to go by if I am to slide around like this all winter.
Dear Santa:
Whereas: (1) it has been exceeding cold recently and my ears have waxed very cold, I petition that you bring me a pair of ear mugs like in the old days.
Whereas: (2) I have been sliding down hill on my neck and other parts of my anatomy lately, I imply you made me a nice sled to alide down hill on.
Bring me not torts, but please, dear Santa, bring me a choice assortment of rotorts, as my Senior Laws are becoming very wittery.
Please do not forget the aforesaite ear muffs, the aforementioned sled, (red, if you please) and the said records. Thanking you in advance, I am ready.
Yours Expectantly,
Doc Burdick.
You will find my stocking hanging at the left of the fireplace, which it will not be a sock but a hose I have borrowed from a lady friend of mine as it is more roomy and because the enrollment has increased since I have been Chancellor you should fill it clear up I think.
Dear Santa:
Please do not bring the students any naughty raids or paddles or freshman caps or anything that will divert their attention from their schoolwork and the coal situation. You may bring me whatever you like but I think you would show rare judgement if you inadvertently endow yourorship in law, a gray coupe which you can park in front of my house 'stead of our stocking. I almost forget, please bring me a new nasal twang as I have got to make a speech to students of the University of Kansas. Hopefully Fears.
Dear Santa:
Chaney
I have thought of some more things I want. I hope won will be wise enough to choose your presents as cording to the marginal utility theory and to make up for the quantity theory as I believe there are the best two theories extant.
BY THE WAY
Please bring me a new saddle on real leather and a pair of spurs as some of the boys in money are buckled. I brought these to me as I used to when I was young and in my prime. Bring me a new gold club (braseless preferred) and also a speech to make to the economics club. Please also come and see anything else you may have handy.

Sousa Finds Enthusiasm and Alertness Characteristic of University People
NUMBER 62.
Susan's Band. Yesterday might well be called Susan's for the splendid spirit and inspiration given by such an organization as that which played
his discipline given by his an organization that which played to the University and best-hundred in Robinson Gymnasium yesterday afternoon, when the first strains of "Migun" still found many unintended and the users rushed as a result of Sonia's promptness, access to engagement in Topkick the same night.
The concert was appreciated by a responsive audience. No loss was to be expected, for Sousa and his band are an institution presenting a distinct type of music which appeals to the individual at large. One is not comfortable with the formal concert. Nor must be follow the intricacies of form and thematic development. Instead, his senses are a prey to delightful and varied rhythms and charming simplicity of melody, the whole presented by a highly skilled body of men under the directorship of a man with a decided personality, a man who has made for himself a unique position in the history of American music.
Most noteworthy was the composition on Indian melodies by Orem, although the enoe numbers, especially the old Sousa marches were most appreciated. He is truly the "marching."
Miss Hardeman, violinist and completely won over the audience by her charming personality and her charming personality to sustain it.
Souas's concert differed from the way it has come to be known as an institution only in that there was much more of the spirit of the war in his early years. He is a gentleman's esteem and admiration for the young men of America he has been associated with for the past two years in the war. This same feeling was felt by Souas in all of his universities and university students. Mr. Souas was interested in the enrollment in the University this year as compared with that previous to the war and showed little surprise when Souas became a member, because it was the largest in the history of K.U.
"The was has been a great boost for universities," said Mr. Sousa. "Young men who served either over time or with the Army, are brawn and only elementary training."
predominated by a little 140-lob, bundle of bras wearing a gold or silver belt in almost every case. They realized that the army was being run by men who had received a higher technical education and training and they resolved that if they came out of the war would strive for the same kind of training, in be the best kind of a citizen of the country for which they fought.
Dean Butler said this morning that more than $300 had been brought in on the concert and was immediately turned over to the committee, which distribute the funds among families. The guardman still in the coli fields.
"There is a certain alertness and enthusiasm in all the college audiences before which I have appeared which gives particular pleasure to discover. It is present here as in the larger and older schools in the east. You have line buildings and a wonderfull institution as you have here."

Wets Start Drive Against Constitutionality of Prohibition Amendment
Up to Supreme Court Today
Anti-Prohibitionists Hope to Ge Liquor by Use of Referendum
Washington, Dec. 16...Legal effort to make invalid the constitution's prohibition amendment were started in the Supreme Court today.
The retail liquor dealers of New York under the name of William Duebine, asked the court for permission to file an original bill testing the validity of the ratification of the amendment.
An injunction to restrain state and federal officers from enforcement of the Haitian law in New Jersey, after a judge ruled that a public adoption become effective, was asked
In a brief to be filled with the court late today the liquor interests will claim, it was stated, that the proclamation of Secretary Lansing announcing the beginning of constitutional prohibition as January 15, was invalid because Ohio had withdrawn its ratification. This makes a new proclamation necessary and the amendment has been struck against to dispose of liquor stocks after the new proclamation, the brief will contend.
The court will also be urged to validate the position that states at any time through referendum may overrule laws or other legal regulations, ratifying amendments.

HUSKERS WANT BACK IN M. V. CONFERENCE
Dispatch From Nebraska Schoo Indicates Students do not Approve Isolation
The refusal of the University of Kansas to join in the "boycott" of the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the friendly attitude of K. U. authorities has been taken by the students and supporters of the University of Nebraska as an exhibition of good sportmanship and a hope that the Cornhuskers return to the conference, with a dispatch sent out from Lincoln.
The University of Missouri and the Iowa State College had also made contracts with Nebraska to play football in 1920, but on the advice of the Missouri Valley Conference, as a result of Nebraska's withdraw from the conference circle, these institutions declared the agreements valid.
During the week which has elapsed since the conference, several governing boards have voted to break relations with Nebraska, and the students and alumni are asking themselves if the University of Nebraska can really gain anything from this policy of "independence action" which has separated it from its old rivals of the Missouri Valley.
A general discussion of the situation has wrought an opinion that the Nebraska authorities made a misjudgment in their decision to financial alumni and students have declared that now is the time for the Cornelius backers to "back track," but there are still many now separate Nebraska from the Missouri Valley Conference, to widen.

German Reply to Allied Note Considered conciliatory by Supreman Council
Huns are Willing to Sign
DANGER OF RESUMING HOSTILITIES AVERTED
Naval Experts Will Determine Penalty for Sinking Interned Fleet at Scapa Flow
Paris, Dec. 16.—Danger of possible resumption of hostilities as the result of Germany's attitude toward the treaty was finally averaged today.
The Supreme Council decided that the German reply to the Allied note demanding acceptance of the protocol was "most conciliating and that a reply would be depushed to Berlin as soon as possible."
Semi-official forecasts of the German note yesterday showed the German government was willing to sign a deal with Turkey to reopen concessions, but it was not until the Supreme Council met today that it was officially learned there was no further cause for continuation of prophecies. The agreement with Germany to enforce the peace terms.
The Council is making arrangements to have the Germans sign the protocol and make the treaty effective before Christmas.
The Supreme Council today ordered a joint session this afternoon of Allied and German naval experts for the purposes of studying the form
that compensation will take for sinking of the interned German fleet at Scapa Flow.
SCIENCE BACKS BIBLE
Contrary to the belief held by some scientists that the theory of evolution, and the story of creation found in the Bible do not agree, Prof. Dinmore After finds in the first chapter of Genesis a logical description of the development of the solar system, as has been proposed in astronomy geology and biology.
Prof. Alter Finds Agreement Between Theory of Evolution and Story of Creation
In the first place, scientists have determined that the solar system was at first made up of a very thin gas. A good description of this nebula is found in Gensia 1.1. "And the earth was waste and void." The first step in the development was when the mists between the earth and the sun separated enough for the light of the moon to touch the earth, the first step mentioned in Genesis 1.5, "and God said, give me the earth, and there was light."
In the formation of the earth, the next step was the formation of a solid surface and the appearance of continets, "and God said, 'let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters,' divide the waters from the waters.'"
Biorologists have determined that life was first created in its lowest forms in the depths of the ocean, and later the large sea monsters, sea-fowls, and finally man. This is the exact evolution worked out in Genesis.
"This is hardly an accident," says Professor Alter, "it proves that Genesis must have been written by divine inspiration."

K. U. has adopted the county club idea with a whoope of greeting and a burst of frenzied organization. The students of no less than fifteen the morning of this afternoon, most of them in process, although some of them already organized, are just perfecting plans for entertainment of the high school seniors through the Christmas reces. Another group of students hold meetings today are Harper, McMullen, EK, Harvey, Montgomery, Brown Republic Hayley Montgomery, Brown Rausel, Shawne, Cloud and Bardon. Many others are holding preparations in preparation for the big work in preparing the high school seniors in K. U.
Nearly forty of the 104 counties of Kansas have organized at K. U., its work and are working on details of the county they will put on in the home town.
Many novel plans are being brought by the clubursons, the Linn Councy and to place copies of the 1920 Jayhawkers to every high school senior. The annual managers say that if Jayhwakers are bought for this purpose in any quantity they will be made other clubs will probably follow the vertising the University.

K. U. Taxidermists Stuff Outland's Bear
The one thousand pound brown bear which was killed by Dr. John Outland of Kansas City is in the process of being mounted at the Museum. Doctor Outland, who was in the University of Kansas in 1805 and 1896, killed the bear at Keni Peninsula, Alaska, while on a hunting trip in northern regions. Doctor is an athletic enduranceist while in school and has been several times this year helping to boost the team.
The process of preparing a specimen for the Museum is quite difficult. The bide is placed over a beam and shaved down, all fatty substance and cartilage being removed. The cartilage in the ears out and a sheet of lead of the same thickness is put in its place.
The animal in place of being stuffed is built anatomically.
A body board is used as near the shape of the animal as possible. Angle irons are fastened to the head and added for legs. The head is then fixed on the body and the muscles and tendons are built out with pavement-mache. Then the skin is placed on the form, being stretched in shape. All parts of the body are all removed and placed back after all substance has been removed.

TEST FOR PROGRESSIVES
TUESDAY, DEC. 16, 1919.
Every now and then there come out of the East an avalanche of new ideas that compels alleged Western progressives to crawl into their holes. We allude specifically to the fact that a fraternity in the University of Chicago has met high laundry costs by purchasing a washing machine and doing its own washing.
The surprising thing about this is not that a perfectly sensible effort to reduce expenses has been undertaken by Chicago men, but that Kansas fraternity men should have allowed the Easterners to steal a march on them. Laundry comes high in Kansas as well as in Chicago. The wherewithal to pay for laundered fraternity linen no doubt is as hard to collect in Kansas as in Illinois. And no one questions that there is not as much linen to be laundered in fact, Chicago has nothing on Kansas but a washing machine—an account fortunately which can easily be balanced. If a fraternity washing machine operates successfully in Chicago, it will operate successfully in a Kansas fraternity, and by the same token it will operate successfully in a dozen Kansas fraternities. Here is the opportunity for alleged Western progressives to assert themselves and prove themselves real. Let the East submit its idea if it wishes, but let the West be, ever it has been, the experiment station on a large scale. Let Kansas fraternity men either make or break the idea that fraternity linen laundered by fraternity men by means of a fraternity washing machine is a good thing. Kansas expects at least this much of her sons. The rest of us want to crawl out of our holes.
YOUR HAND TO THE PLOW
We are committed to the Million Dollar Memorial Drive as the one practical concrete method of putting "K. U. First."
The plans are definite enough and comprehensive enough to challenge the unqualified endorsement of every person interested in any way in our University. No one can be so great that these plans will not appeal to his largest capacity for doing big things. And no one is so small that his devotion will not be immensely worth while.
The avalanche of white ballots after the Convocation on last Friday manifested the feeling of the individual student. Hardly a man or woman who does not say that he or she is heart and soul with the cause. Practically every organization on the Hill has made some signal express-
otion of the united thought so essential to success. Faculty and Senate enter upon the splendid task in vigorous concerted action. The whole state will very soon respond to the resonant key-note. And any Kansan anywhere who happens to have no part in this dynamic project will waken up by and by to the ignominy of having himself to blame. A million dollars is rather a large sum of money, even in this period of infilated ideas. But no amount of money can express the love and gratitude we bear the boys who "took the khaki and the gun instead of cap and gown." Any adequate memorial must carry out the idea of unselfish service, and the form this idea can take is the important matter. What it can cost is only the incidental requirement. Having once conceived the spirit, the body's a foresee conclusion.
And far-reaching as the practice, use and ideal influence of the proposed memorial may be, the effect upon the people who bring the wonderful work to pass will be a still greater achievement. This movement is to be the one big unifying thing in our University life for weeks and months to come. But we shall learn in every little thing that goes into it by day at the outstanding fact of the world-war, and the one great period—the enunciation of the Son of Man that it is more blessed to give than to receive. The whole creation is based on the fundamenta law that it is only as we give that we grow, only as we lose sight o self that we can succeed.
This is what it means to put "K. U.
First." This is how the Million-
Dollar Drive is already done. It is so well begun.
TIS TOO TRUE
Charles Dudley Warmer, according to Agnes Repplier in Life, when paying his masons four dollars a day thirty-five years ago, made the following prophetic observation: "I have reason to believe that when the wages of mechanics are raised to eight and ten dollars a day, the workmen will not come at all; they will merely send their cards."
Mental Lapses
We have often wondered what a "cooler gong" is, but we now we know. It is that bunch of Prof. Boynton's disciples who gather at the "cooler" in the northwest corner of the library.

Williams probably intends, in its rehilation of "politics", to elect his son to the presidency, ensuring the election of the most popular and well-known man in the school, and lowering the holding of power to the level of a popularity contest.
By "Politics" the dear reformer probably means manipulation of elections-concerted effort on the part of a certain group to put over their candidate. This process, in actual practice in all governments, no matter how democratic or ideally sosialistic, been arrived at through nat-

-Life.
Senator Polindexter wants to be president of the United States, and says no. Whether or not he is alone in his desires, time will tell. The senator has never been so commandable, but his discretion may be questioned. The tradition that the office should seek the man, and not the man the office, still has a strong hold on the American people, but it has less of a deny. It is almost unprecedented for anyone to hire a hall, proclaim his own herits, and expose the demiess of his competitors, real or suppositional. Senator Polindexter himself knows how, however, share the direct primary is in fully bloom, and where the old political order has been turned upside down. If a candidate lies low till he hears the call of the people, he is likely to lie—no pun intended—
The senator, by taking his case to the stump, has thus sought to nationalize a sectional idea. He is the first to do it—in the way he is doing it. If he succeeds he will not be the last. Portland Oregonian.

The Bigger They Are The Harder They Fall
By Henry L. Farrell
By Henry L. Farrell
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
New York, Dec. 13.-Big teams
don't count for much.
That's the way Notre Dame feels, at least.
Although the South Bend university had the only big undefeated team in the west, it has been unable to get a look in for any kind of recognition. If the tautled strings of the dope player was at an edge on Centre College, the Kentucky sensation, that is being touted as the national champion.
Centre bent Indiana 12 to 3 and Notre Dame bent Indiana 16 to 3 on a wet swamp gridron. Notre Dame walloped Nebraska and Nebraska routed Syracuse giving the South Benders a paper decision on the east.
A friend of Notre Dame has this to say in a recent letter: "Notre Dame has won eight games, east and west in games. The Army, Nebraska, Purdue and Indiana are among the most important victims. Notre Dame made a better score against Indiana than Centre did and it was done on a swamp field. Notre Dame wrote that writers allowed that it would have been 60 to 3 on a fair day."
"Centre is entitled to all the credit the Daville eleven can get. Give 'em more. Without a dont the Kentuckians would make the best in the 'holler-than-thou' big ten look like Colby against the Navy but not Like Dame has ten thousand perfectly good iron men to winger that the Irish could trim Centre by two bouncehouses and they would give odds on their team against Centre, Illinois, Ohio or Harvard."
There is no disputing the fact that Notre Dame had a high class team the past season. The conference idea of conducting athletics in the west was not as popular in the East. Notre Dame to be over ridden. In the east where there is nothing of the "claw" spirit excepting the "Big Three" which is hardly entertained any more, and could have come in for its full show of glory which its record deserves.
Fraternity Scholarships
The scholarship averages of Delta Tan Deltai and Phi Kappa Pi fraternities which were omitted from the list published in the Kananan a week ago are as follows: Delta Tan Deltai—81/72, which places them next which place and Phi Kappa Pi—80/10 which places them fourth from the top.
Two fraternities were omitted in the list of average grades, published in Monday's Kannan. The Delta Tau and the Psi Kappa both had the Pai Kappa Pai average is 80.2.
Geological Trench Maps Displayed in Haworth
Several trench maps of the Argonne St. Michel, Mozz, and Vulnerbattle fields with geological data worked in by Dr. Winthrop P. Haynes, of the University department of geology, while spending four months in the geology department of Paris, are beaten up on the floor on cloth and will be placed on display in a glass case on the second floor of Haworth Hall.
Doctor Haynes is superintending the mounting and expects to have the French maps, in addition to several typographical Kanaas maps, completed by next week. The Kanaas maps are stored in the glass case display for the use of the university who visit the University department and the state geologist for special information.
Agricultural Committee Assures no Wet Christmas
Washington, Dec. 16.—All hope of Congress coming to the aid of the利国 interests before constitutional prohibition becomes effective vambled committee vote 10 to 3 against a rebellion of wartime prohibition.
The action was taken on a hill by representative Gallivan of Massachusetts, and his measure will be perished pigeon-holled by the committee.
Millions of Jews Reduced to Poverty Felix M. Warburg, chairman of the joint distribution committee of American funds for Jewish war sufferers, on his return from relief work in Europe, says the successive blows of containing armies have all but broken the back of European Jewry and have about 60,000,000 people. Because of the地理位置, he says, the Jews in eastern Europe have suffered more than any other nation. They still yet
have an amazing capacity for self-help. Mr. Warburg believed it would be fatal to lessen the emergency aid now. The $20,000,000 which has been spent by his committee has fed more than 1,000,000 children and kept 5,000 in school. Warburg is active in launching a campaign for the formation of a $10,000,000 reconstruction corporation which would afford facilities for aid, in the form of loans and credit at nominal interest rates. He says that the value of this sort of assistance over charity appears—Christian Science Monitor.
Appoint Law Scrim Managers
Frank Terkil, president of the Law School, has appointed Chuck Hobart and Kenneth Pringle to manage the Law Scrip this year. The dance this year will be informal and will be held sometime near the end of the first semester. As this dance is given in honor of the football squad, it is usually held directly following the season, but was postponed this year on account of the death of Dean Green. The number of tickets will be issued and those not taken by his students will be open to the entire school.

"Appeals to the high School Boy,"
Ralph Rodkey.
"Winning the People of Kansas,' Prof. L. N. Flint.
"All these talks are to be short and to the point," said Ernest Kugler. "The big idea of this rally is to give the county club members talking points. How to enlisten the support of alumni and to get up the interests of the entire community the support of the entire state will be discussed at this convocation. In order to get the big wheel working we must have every cup in tip-top working order. Most of it will be done by the manner in which K. U. students approach their customers. It is going to be a big sales campaign, marketing and all the people our customers and K. U. is our selling promotion."
The temporary memorial committee will meet tonight to talk over the plans which will be presented at the rally Thursday. These plans will give a short overview of the latest developments and schedule of the Memorial Drive as a whole.
"The County Club rally, so-called—is rumored to be held exclusively for the members of county club alone," said one of the county club organizers this morning. "This is erroneous and ought to be corrected, as it is done by the county association and everyone in school is expected to attend. County club business is attended to in county club meeting. This is a rally."

OIL AND GAS STOVES
MUST GO SAYS SHEA
State Carries No Fire Insurance and Hazard is Too
Jayhawker Office Guilty
Annual Editors Must Move Petroleum Stove and Big Oil Can
Oil stoves and portable stoves in University buildings received an immediate outlet from the Hill in an announcement this morning by John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds. Mr. Shea's order came after a discovery that students and faculty had been bringing oil stoves to the library work libraries, offices and laboratories on Saturdays and at other times the buildings were not heated owing to the coal shortage.
The state carries no fire insurance on University buildings and Mr. Shea said he could not permit the extra fire hazard of oil stoves or portable gas stoves. He has refused requests by faculty members to have class rooms and laboratories equipped with portable gas stoves, and other tubes. Such equipment would be an active menace and a great fire hazard, it was said.
Mr. Shea's peremptory order that all oil stoves or temporary heating apparatus must be removed from University buildings at once is said to the Jayhawker office, which says that the Jayhawker office in the journalism building had equipped itself with an oil stove and a 5-gallon can of oil, both of which were being kept in the Jayhawker office. Mr. Shea is reported to have said that the oil stove could not be used if the Jayhawker management did not remove them by noon.
TEACHERS PASS TEST

The group consists of ten smaller tests on following directions, opposites, disarranged sentences, proverbs, arithmetic, geometric figures, analogies, similarities, narrative conventions and measures of intellectual capacity.
The highest grade obtainable is 232 and the average grade, which has been established from an average made by students of eighteen years is 120, and this is taken as the average intellectual ability of our population. However, the Topics tench and the lower high grade of 290, and a low grade of 123, or three points above the average of the country.
"This is very unusual," said Professor Schwegler, "as these teachers had not desks upon which they could write. I think that under more favorable circumstances they would have done even better."

They are Leland Barter and Wint Smith who will be given a chance to show off their skills on a while, Batter, however, may not be out, and Wint is judged by the fans to be too low for an effective center.

TO TAKE STRAW VOTE ON LEAGUE COVENANT
Colleges Throughout the Country Will Decide Advisability of Peace Fact
Four Peace Propositions
Men's Student Council May Call a Special Election January 13
To promote a referendum of college sentiment throughout the country concerning the ratification of the Constitution, a committee has been formed by the Editor-in-Chief of the Columbia Spectator, the Chairman of the Daily Princetonian, the Chairman of the Harvard President of the Harvard Criminal.
The plan is solely to stimulate discussion in academic communities and to obtain as accurate as possible an expression of college sentiment. No examination will be conducted by the committee and no point of view advocated. It is felt that the educational results of the effort will be very great and that the imposition of secrecy thus obtained will be enlightening to everybody concerned.
Many colleges have held straw halles on the subject but the statements of the question have varied and those votes have afforded no opportunity to obtain in accurate and comparative of inter-college计 view.
The plan is that on January 13, every college and university in the country will be asked to take a vote on whether the student body, on the other—either Yes or No—on the following propositions: (1) I favor the ratification of the League and Treaty without amendments or reservations. (2) I oppose the ratification of the League and the Treaty in any form. (3) I am in favor of the ratification of the Treaty and the League but only with the specific reservation as voted on by the majority of the Senate. (4) I favor any counsel that may make possible immediate ratification of the Treaty and the League.
It is urged that discussion of the situation should be stimulated, and that, if possible, public debates and case meetings of students and faculty at different points of view. The committee has submitted the exact form of the proposed ballot to Senator Lodge and Hitchcock to obtain their approval of its method of statement making. It will make a direct statement to the colleges and universities of the country, summarizing their points of view. These statements will be made known later. Chancellor Strong as usual will be asked up by the Men's Student Council at its meeting tonight.
Judiciary Committee to Consider New Code
Topela, Dec. 16—"All men have the settlement of the strike upon what it just and fair but only lawyers may decide upon what is legal and will stand in court," said Gov. Allen today when he announced that he has called a conference of judiciary committee for next Saturday to consider the proposed industrial legislation. He also said a new trial in the court procedure" explained the Governor "and we want the best judgment obtainable on our industrial code to be passed at the special session next month."
Alex Howat Appears Before Court Monday
Indianapolis, Dec. 16—Hearings on charges of contempt of court against officials of the United Mine Workers of America were continued indefinitely by Judge A. C. Anderson in United States district court today.
The charges were based on alleged violations of the injunction issued by Judge Anderson during the strike of bituminous coal miners preventing union heads from furthering the strike.
The request was concurred in by government attorneys except in the case of Alexander Howat, president of the Kanaa district of the miners union, and leader of the "Radical" element within the organization.
Howard's case was continued until next Monday when he will appear before the court to answer charges that he had violated the Ransas mina on an out strike.

The Daily Kansasan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the teacher; he does not desire her than merely printing the news by standing for the unions. The University of Kansas has a policy that requires her to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be contagious; to be intelligent; to be kind; to be wiser, oeds; in all, to serve to the best of her ability the students of Kansas.
CONTINUING THE MESSAGE
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 17, 1919
To those persons over the state who have the impression that the University of Kansas graduates students of theoretical rather than practical training, the news of the part played by University students in breaking the coal strike has come as a pleasant surprise.
There was a time not many years ago, when many people in the state considered the University of Kansas as a school of age worn theory. More than that, they had formed the opinion that the men turned out by the University were of the effeminate variety and were chiefly trained in the duties of the social bug and in terpsichoris accomplishments.
The war, with its record of Kansas University students in important roles, brought the people a new understanding of the character of the men found in the University.
And now the coal strike has again afforded students of the University of Kansas an opportunity to show their worth. The opportunity did not knock in vain. Kansas University students at three mines gave active testimony of their willingness to help the state in its time of need. At Carbon No. 2, a mine operated almost entirely by K. U. men, the record is particularly attractive.
Of the hundred and sixty carloons of coal produced in Kansas during the strike, this mine turned out almost one-third. The college men had it producing more than the normal output when the strike ended. While the technical knowledge of engineering and geology students showed to advantage, the willingness and efficiency of every worker was the big thing that the people of the state saw with approval.
They could not help realizing that here was an institution in which radicalism has not besmirched with false ideas; a place where education fosters right thinking and vigorous action; an institution worthy of their continued support.
The opportunity to earn the good will of the people of the state has not passed with the coal strike. During the Christmas holidays will come two full weeks of opportunity for promoting a better appreciation of the University and in a more concrete way. The county club as the organized bodies of University students will not fail to carry the true message of practical accomplishments from their institution to the people back home.
What a relief to see the faces of pedestrians relaxed after the strained expressions caused by last week's slippiness.
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
one man or woman we know what Christmas gifts to buy to whom they shall be given, at person has time to sit back and enjoy the Christmas spirit. But what of the rest of us? Up and down the business street, in and out of every place of business from a meat market to a coal yard, we go in search for appropriate gifts Our gifts, we say to ourselves, are going to be something different and distinctive, so we continue our search over the counters. We push and jam and find our friends doing the same thing, and when we get hungry enough, go home without buying. We lay awake most of the night trying to make a trite mind imagine distinctive gifts.
Then as Christmas draws nearer and the shoppers become desperate, we make another trip into the stores. We stand there in the push fingering what remains on the counter in a hasty sort of way and wondering what to buy. In time a salesman approaches and remarks, "That would make a nice gift." You had not thought of it in just that way but in the end you agree by purchasing the article, which is far from being different or original in anything except the price. Then you go home hoping your friend knows more about the art of Christmas shopping than you.
AMERICA IN A NEW ROLE
AMERICA IN A NEW ROLE
Henceforth America will be master of the world, and we will have a new mission. She will serve the whole of mankind not less but more, for she has learned that real "internationalism" is not the boneless creature begotten by Bolaheim, nor yet the malformed and malignant monstrosity that is unholy alliances, or the cruel self-centered living Americanism, animated ever by goodwill to all the world and by eagerness to serve humanity near and far. At last America herself knows as the free and fearless champion of human right everywhere. Because American women are in behalf of whatever people or cause her own alert intelligence perceives to be in real need.

Douglas Fairbanka had fond parents who wanted him to be a mining king, so he spent the time allowed for his education after he had graduated from school. He also served in the Navy Maritime Academy, in attending the School of Mines in Boulder.
When he graduated, he acted as logically as most college students, who study faithfully to an engineer, minister, or doctor, and then launch in brilliant careers as aviators, pilates or spiritualists.
Possibly Mr. Fairbanks foresaw the present trouble in the mines and decided that the Movies offered a more approachable way to travel, a way, in a recent letter to the Kansas;

CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES
The most serious harm that is done by following one will-o-the-wasp after another in the hunt for a remedy for high prices is that it keeps public attention directed away from the one cause which transecends all the way back. This is why it may be for instituting a policy of deflation, there is little hope that such a policy will be vigorously pursued and persistently maintained unless there stands behind it a strong public opinion, or at least a strong, sentiment among those who have, in such questions, a powerful influence up on public opinion. The first reason is that high-priced product in grappling with the high-price problem is a clear recognition that the chief cause of high prices is the enormous expansion of the monetary medium.-The Review.
TWO WELCOME DEPORTATIONS
The awakening in the Federal authorities of a spirit of energy too long dormant makes virtually certain the need to rejuvenate the national anarchists, Emma Goldman and Alexander Beckman. For many years both these individuals have enjoyed wide notoriety in the United States, and their revolutionary activities have aroused some interest but no great alarm in American minds. But with the release of late been replaced by a realization of the threat to the future of American institutions involved in the gift to these two revolutionaries of the hospitality of our shores.
Strongly enough the order from Washington for the deportation of Berkman came on the day of the attack on Hotel Howard, Huey Long, Berkman had attempted to assassinate twenty-seven years ago. For this crime Berkman served some fourteen years of a prison sentence of twenty-two years. The deportation order directs that both Berkman and Emma Goldman be sent back to the United States. They can be taken to prevent their falling into the hands of the White Guards. Both have plotted for a long time against the welfare and the interests of the United States. The order for their early deportation is a sign beoking, it is hoped, a reversion of the policy too long in force, of dumping the people of the county at large instead of setting them on the first vessel that leave for their native lands—Boston Transcript.

But with something like 100,000 returned soldiers expressing their desire to get land, a commission, probably taking away his right to spend much money in jaunts and incidentals, would seem rather a mockery to the boys who want to begin work on land. By the time it got through its work, the enthusiasm for selling soldiers would have largely subsided.
The President again calls attention in his message to Congress, to the duty of aiding the returned soldiers; not only by placing them in wage-earning positions through the co-operation of the public employment bureaus, but by enabling those, of whom he desire to obtain land for farm workers, to attend the Lane's plan, embodied in the Monday bill, be carried out.
The thing to do now is to pass a reasonable law, with practical powers, and get to work. The Interior Department already has a vast amount of land listed, and that organization, with such aid used, is needed from the Architectural Department, could soon make a beginning.
There is also the plan for loaning money to soldiers, embodied in the bill introduced by Representative Joe Biden. If the bill, it is proposed to loan each man $4,000 at 3 1-2 per cent interest. Repayment under an amortization scheme, was to cover 60 years, which would be paid in cash. Government supervision, the borrower could then buy land near his own home, or wherever he found a farm for sale. He would not be required to pay a part of the country and bain a colony.
Whatever is done should be done this winter. The ability of able-bodied men on land is not a speculation or a waste of public money. Every dollar would be secured by the increasing value of the land itself. And the hundreds or thousands of new homes created, with increased production from these farms, would increase public assets.

UNDESIRABLES TOO ACTIVE
UNDESIRABLES TOO ACTIVE When we read in the daily papers of many newspapers or an especially burial murder, in nine case out of ten the identity of the perpetration is fixed as of foreign extraction. This, ordinarily, would be good enough reason for our law makers at Washington to get busy with investigations and the undesirables, but even the best efforts of the same element to actually overthrow our government does not seem to create any profound impression in Washington that an injurious law with teeth, is soiley needed.
So long as we have these alien agitators in our mill colleges, just so long will we have labor troubles that may become serious without warning. Once rid of them with good prospects of the bars up to prevent others getting in, we will have a large number of good American recruits to fill the barracks. Then when we can look for industrial peace and a permanent adjustment, so that normal conditions may prevail.—Fibre and Fabric.

TO ORGANIZE MUSICIANS
Professor Nevin Leads Move ment to Give K. U. Larges Share in MacDowell Colony
The East does not appreciate the music of the West, is the verdict of Prof. Arthur Krueger who hopes the students at St. John's stoch each other. Professor Newin was to have met students interested in art Wednesday afternoon, to form an organization to be affiliated with the Dowell colony, but illness prevents him.
"Edward, Mac Dowell, America's greatest composer, owned fifty acres of forest land in New Hampshire. He had received so much inspirational good from it that he determined to turn it over to American composers as a place of quiet work and inspiration," he said.
"The 50 acres has grown to 500 acres. There is a colony house for men and one for women. Every person has a bedroom and studio. In the studio are all the materials the person needs for his individual line of work. There is perfect freedom to work or rest undisturbed.
"In addition to inspiration for creative work, the purpose of student organization is twofold: To contribute to the development of students in the East see what the West is doing
The movement to give Kansas University a larger share in the "50 acres" is entirely the inspiration of Professor Nevin, who plans that chapters be organized in two state universities.
"It will be not only for students of the School of Fine Arts, but for any students interested in art and for faculty members," he continued. "Professor Nicovin stresses the point that the chapter is given "into the hands of the atu-
Professor Nevin, Prof. C. S. Skilton, Miss Margaret Lynn, and Prof Willard A. Wattles have spent summers at Peterborough and have taken active interest in the MacDowell Association.

LARGE SQUAD STARTS SOONER BASKETBALL
Four Letter Men Try For Place
On First Valley
Team
Ten M. V. Games Scheduled
Ambitious Oklahomans Will Add Ten More Games to Program
Norman, Okla., Dec. 17 — Facing for the first time an opportunity to compete for the Missouri Valley championship, Bennie Owen's Sooner basketball squad, by far the biggest in the league, won a national competition in races for position positions.
Practice opened two week ago with six letter men ready for work and at least twenty other younger candidates eager to start work. Competition for every place on the squad is the keenest ever seen here.
Oklahoma's first Valley games will be with K. S. A. C at Manhattan, Kansas, January 23 and 24. On February 11 and 12, Oklahoma cagers meet Missouri at Columbia, and the next two days play Washington at St. Louis. Again on February 20 and March 5, Oklahoma plays S. S. A. C in the valley season with games with Kansas at Lawrence, March 5 and 6.
Captain Dorsey Boyle, center and forward, one of the most consistent men on Owen's team for the last two years, double-will place will for the center job. Maurice Bass, also with two seasons training, and William Cox, second year man, forwards, are back in practice.
Hugh McDermott, third year man,
Albert Briscoe, and Loake Walle have
had considerable experience in train-
ing against the Vastus in former
years.
Members of last year's freshman team who are back in school and in training are Ed Wante, center, Phil White, and Myron Ytler, forwards, Wissanne, Hristov, and Stahl, Rikki, Hirstow, Dick, and Kathan, forwards.
Clem Wright, Varsity forward of 1917, in school but will be unable to play because he was gassed while in service. Honer Risen, captain and teammate, who played for the team, will be intelegible because he received a degree last spring.
Ten games probably will be added to the schedule recently announced, it is believed. Four games will be played with the Oklahoma Aggies. two games here, and three games of the season for the Spoons will be here about January 9.

NO COLLEGE CREDIT TO UNIVERSITY BAND
Committee Decides That None Other Than Gym Credit is To Be Given
Stanford Gives Credit
One University Out of Thirty
Four Gives Credit
Asked For
No credit other than the customary gym credits will be given by the College for band work, according to the report of the faculty committee which considered the question. The report states that "band work does not replace any college work, and therefore cannot justifiably receive credit."
When the band men petitioned for credit, they stated that practically every other university gives credit for similar band work.
The faculty committee sent queries to thirty-four universities and colleges of the class of the University of Kansas, regarding this credit. Leland Stanford University of California is the only one which gives credit other than gymnasium or military credit.
"Leland Stanford presents an unusual case" according to Dean Templin of the College. "The college is not divided into schools as we are and therefore they can give credit more readily than can we."
The reason that credit is given for debate work, according to Prof. U. G. Mitchell, a member of the committee, is that debating duplicates the work of the department of public health, and hence deserves the credit.

Chicago, Dec. 18 — "Big Five"包裹packers in anticipation of a government decree ordering the dissolution of firms directly concerned with the most important business been dismayed during the last year it was announced today.
Although representatives of the comanies refused to confirm Washington reports that an agency had been reached to dissolve all lines except meat, poultry, butter, eggs and cheese, they intimated such an announcement might

Department of Justice officials are hopeful that the agreement will be effective in reducing the cost of living.

Souse wasn't that kind of a fellow
Say bo we just abound in concertes and orchestras here this event was a boot called Sontie, but I didn't think he was going to be perfectly soben when he were here suppose the on act of the drouth we are having. Well this pickel, the Lt., I mean got up and waved a stick around and the others played on the various instruments they happened to have wiped dressed like bellops in a big hostelry, and Jack was the bell-cap only no one didn't tip him. And her is a good joke on him once when she stopped the stage to take a hitch in his belt cause it happened to be little woman slapped on with a fiddle and say man she sure knew her onion cause the crowd clapped and hollered tremendously and ever time he wanted to play angan they wouldn't let him but would hoot him down because he was so raked her
bow arrows that thing and the guys quit him cold and one of them picked up a piece of white paper and waved it meaning they give up. But Phil
made one lit when he got most of his horns standing out in front like they was going to blow Guard Mount, and someone behind held up a paper what red "starred with Stripes for life" and below "Soused," meaning they got soused and was give life at Leuvenworth or Eudora or else they got married when they didn't mean to. Adding up everything that was played looks like to me more than nothing, cause there is lots of ability there, only i don't like the way the fello did who stood up in front, cause he kept swinging.
his arms like he was going to jump right on to that striped piano in front of him, you have seen them stripped piano. I guess, they were all dressed up for an ordinary box and set them up on some posts, it makes a nice look on instrument, and it is a new stunt. Well bill don't you with you would settle this trouble, the hat, I tried to clean all over the mist new rug.

The urgent need for an athletic field and stadium right now caused the Athletic Board to decide at a meeting yesterday to start action on the plans already drawn up for a field and stadium.
The present bleachers on McCook Field are in such a state of deterioration that considerable sums will have to be expended each year to make them usable in the future, and it was decided by the Board that new bleachers would have to be built before another Missouri game.
A small sum was appropriated for the purpose of conducting surveys and investigations of available sites and preparing preliminary estimates o prepare manager F. C.

Washington, Dec. 18—President Wilson will probably announce today his selection of a three-man commission to investigate the mating situation, it was learned at the White House.
Three-Man Commission Handles Coal Situation
The commission will be composed of a practical miner, an operator, and a representative of the public, and its duty will be to sit almost continuously and to make changes in miners' wages and working hours as conditions in the coal fields warrant. It is believed here the coal commission probably will recommend a greater increase than 14 per cent.
As was announced in The Daily Kansas Monday, December 15, there will be no issue, published tomorrow, Friday, December 19. Each year it is deemed unnecessary to print a paper on the day students leave for their Christmas vacation, as most of them are gone before night.

Story From Aggieville is Contricted by Figures Procured by Miners
KANSAS LEADS ALL IN COAL PRODUCTION
K. U. Men Produced 76 Cars
Aggies, Washburn and Bake Trailed the Jayhawkers in Production
Pat Petrolia, 120, and Nat Armel, c21, two of K. U's returned volunteer coal miners, the Lawrence Rotary Club today, of the doings of the Yahawk in the Pittsburgh coal fields. Petrolia and Armel spoke at a lunchroom of the club at the Chamber of Commerce. While he was talking Petrolia was handed a copy of the Agricultural College's publication, the Internship list, in which Armel's colleague said
"The Industrialist article is not correct," said Mr. Pedroja. "The volcanic tersents put out a total of 161 cars of coal in Mexico, and the mining seventy-six, which was divided between the first K U. detachment and the second K U. detachment, the first detachment mining fifty cars and the second detachment putting out twenty-six cars of coal.
"Washburn got out fifteen or sixteen cars and Baker got out six. do not know how much the Kansas City, the Wichita, the Wilson County and several other outfits got out, but there were other cars that But, for argument say they got out nothing and the ninety-seven cars mined by K. U., Washburn and Baker was all that was mined outside the Aggie outfit. At that figure the Aggies could have mined only sixty-four cars and two twelve cars less than U's outfit."
"I do not understand how the Agile publication could make such assertions. It gives no figures, only makes the sweeping statement that the Aggies mined more coal than did the Jawahars. This mistake in its next issue if it wishes to be fair, as no doubt it does."

THE OLD HOME TOWN
Another days work and the big percentage of University students will be on their way to the old home town for the Christmas holidays. For two weeks studies will be completely forgotten as they mail around again with the old crowd.
It will be a pleasant feeling to come down off the Hill Friday without any assignments for the following Monday. No matter how lonesome it has been since those first days in September when we stood in line in front of Robinson gymnasium and no matter how hard the work has been since then, it has been worth it all now to drop it altogether for a few days while we relax in the old home town atmosphere.
The old home town looks better than it did to us last summer. For want of anything better to do we used to remark that it was a dead place and not fit for anyone with ambition. It was clothed with familiarity and we wanted a change. But that was three months ago. After tomorrow, not all the text books in the Library nor all the professors in the University could keep us away from the old home town over the holidays. Regardless of what we thought three mohta age we now eagerly are waiting for the train that takes us back to the place of our folks and our real friends. For the old home town is the only sensible place to spend the Christmas holidays
IN DARKEST MILWAUKEE
It doesn't seem possible that any man should be running for congress today on a platform demanding the continuance of German schools, German newspapers and societies and foreign schools in general, making speeches in German and denouncing American participation in the war. Neither does it seem possible that a congressman convicted of violating the espionage act and unseated on the charges of general disloyalty should have the nerve to run for congress again. Yet Victor Berger of Milwaukee is doing this.
Let no one however be too quick to pass judgment on Milwaukee for allowing Berger to get away with it for there is another side of the picture.
Berge's opponent is a fusion candidate, supported by both democrats and republicans. These two parties more at swords points in most parts of the country than they have been for some years have united in common cause in Milwaukee in order to defeat the combined forces of pro-Germanism and socialism. And they will win. So it will be found everywhere, when once the issue is raised between Americanism and alienism.
Let it also be observed that Berger's opponent bears the name of Bodenstad. The fact that a man of such antecedents as that name indicates stands forth as the chosen champion of Americanism, and trusted implicitly by citizens of non-German ancestry, is striking in itself that hyphenation is on its last legs in its last American stronghold.-Milwaukee.
THE ROAD TO JERICHO
One is always inclined to make facetious remarks when a man in public office takes his doll rags and goes home. He should have learned before accepting the position that life is not a one-sided game.
But the average citizen finds himself commending Dr. Garfield's attitude in regard to the settlement of the coal strike. His resignation is the expression of principle based upon special study of the various phases of the problem. He believes that the President's adjustment will raise the price to the consumer, though it will afford immediate relief, and he is quite sure that the hydra will continue to lift its numerous heads at every opportunity.
And the average citizen feels that this is the time when the monster might have been mastered once and for all. His heart crys out because of the general suffering, and he may have to pay, oftimes, a terrible personal price. But that is poor business, whatever the cost, to push aside decisive action when the hour has come. The average citizen fought through the world war, whether he was at the front, or kept the home fires burning, to make the world safe for democracy. He knows that America can be safe for nobody as long as so small a per cent of our people—oustored, self-governing people—can plunge the whole country into such unpardonable distress.
We may saw our own wood and dig cur our own coal, but the real necessity is to save our national government. There is no one so small among us that he can afford to "pass by on the other side."

Why did you come to K. U? Where And where
Question:
Gladys Jordan—I wanted to get my education in the best school available in Kansas. In looking over the courses of study of the various colleges, I chose those of the University of Kansas the best and decided to come here.
Answers:
Second Floor Fraser.
Lillian Swanson—I came to K. U.
so that I might have my degree from
this institution.
D. M. Mann—I came to K. U. because I believed that here I could get training that would aid me in my work.
Elva McMullen—I came to the University because I wanted a big school with big ideas. I thought this school offered such. The Fine Arts course I thought was about the university state, that being my special interest.
Ruth Truml—I came to K. U., because it was the State University, and would therefore have the best of equipment, though, so that students thought, "so that she would mean more to me and to others than a degree from any other of the schools." Also, the University offered strong courses in the branches
Harold Jette—I came to the University in an endeavor to obtain the best training that I could get. I also studied at a university which offered exceptional courses. I also had the desire to become the proud possessor of a degree from dear old Harold.
OUR CRIPPLED AIR SERVICE
Of special value, in view of the tension at present existing in our relations with Mexico, was the testimony given yesterday before the House subcommittee on the crippled state of American aviation by Brig. General Mitchell, a director of military aertenances. Outstanding features of his testimony were: The fact that only 965 fliers remain in the Army out of a total during the war of more than 150,000; the lack of modern planes for the use of the Army; and the fact that the United States would in all probability have to rely for new planes on British and French manufacturers. According to General Mitchell, the United States, since the close of the war, had fallen so far behind the leading European Powers in respect to aviation, that it take many years of earnest effort to overcome the handicap if now faces.
Brigadier General Mitchell's evidence corroborated by other complement witnesses, furnishes a striking commentary on the completeness with with War Department inefficiency, and the parsimony of Congress have crippled the air service of the Army. The needs of the air service for the Army are met by $80,000,000, and Congress has appropriated for its use but $25,000,000, a sum barely sufficient to maintain even a skeleton organization. The essential facts relating to the scraping of the air service are in the possession of Congress and the War Department. To remedy a situation which is so vital related to national defence by making adequate provisions, this report is one of the first duties of the present Congress—Boston Transcript.
DEAD LETTER LAWS
Senator Poindexter of Washington has introduced a drastic measure for the suppression of Bolshevism and the killing of Soviet agents if passed it would rid the country of these evils. But would it? More than two years ago, early in 1917 an alien anarchist exclusion act was passed—the veto of the President, by the way—and has been in force since then. The violations of this law allow anarchists could be prevented from entering the country, and those within the country could be deported, but since the passage of this act anarchists and revolutionaries have flocked into the country more before and though hundreds of them have been arrested, most of them have been set free without judicial process, and very few have been deported. The reason is simple; the law has not been enforced. Men high in authority under the present Admiral Lunin have been forced to set it aside on their own responsibility, and have encouraged the anarchists and other dangerous radicals to believe that it would not be and was never intended to be enforced. Of what use then to pass new legislation or archely? Is there any guarantee, any reason whatsoever, to hope that Senator Poindexter's proposed law would be more seriously regarded? Of the need of such laws there is no question, but before enacting new ones let us have an enforcement of those laws. If the police do not see the deportation of several hundred undesirable aliens under the 1917 law as an earnest that the authorities do intend to enforce the laws. Otherwise it were folly to load the war machine with dead prisoners for criminals to laugh at.—Springfield Union.
PROSCRIPTION FOR ASIATICS
PROSCRIPTION FOR ASIATICS
Senator Jones of Washington proposes an amendment which would deny citizenship to persons born in the United States, themselves invisible to citizenship. That such an amendment could receive the assent of three-fourths of the states, even to withhold civic rights from American-born Chinese and Japanese, is unimaginable. The organization under the American system was that of slavery, and that was wiped out long ago. Even the attempt of some Southern states to confer preferential rights under American law was shortlisted. That it matters very little what a man's father was, but that it matters a great deal what a man is himself, is an American principle that means a great deal more than may be apparent at the first glance, or modifying it, even in a small way.
If the children born in this country of Chinese or Japanese parents are not what they ought to be, the fault lies in the teacher's excellent subject to which to apply the effective agencies of Americanization—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

AUSTRIA IS DYING FROM PEACE TERMS
Cardinal Tiffi, Archbishop of Vienna, Blames Treaty for National Misery
"Babies Perishing Slowly"
Rome, Dec. 18.—Gunt famine rides through Austria crushing innocent woman and babies and threatening the entire nation with anthilation. One of the greatest catastrophes in history is imminent and can only be avoided through prompt aid of Austria's erstwhile enemies.
Characterizes Nation's Situation As Desperate—"Crushed Foresee."
This was the word picture painted today by Cardinal Tiffin, archbishop Vienna, in describing conditions in America after the war he told of the suffering and hopelessness that war had brought upon Austria, once the most powerful nation in the world, into the state, politically and economically at the mercy of the allies.
The cardinal made no effort to gloss over the fact he believed the peace in Europe was far more largely responsible for the present conditions. An economic union with Germany, he said, was imperative, if Austria continued an independent policy.
"While our economic situation is desperate as a nation we are crushed forever," Cardinal Tiffi said, "Under the treaty, Austria cannot live. The United States will fill will many a page in history, and one day with it will be regretted."
"Every house in Vienna is now a house of sorrow, in which you will find disheartened women, suffering from cold and hunger, and emaciated children. Children are lost from lack of nourishment. The older children are dying a slower but less painful death. I speak for these insolent. They must be saved."

Coal Production Back To Normal Basis Soon
Chicago. Dec. 17 — Coal production is nearing the peak, operators here said today.
Miners are swaging their picks with a will, they will, indicating a desire to live up to their agreement. Kansas miner Jack McClarnon has lingered back to normal in the number of men and in production. Transportation being in good shape, operators believe in giving business the "highlift" and coal will keep up with it. Miners cold weather settled over the coal region is not hamping production.

Laslett Back in Game
Effort Being Made By Coaches To Develop MoreTeam Work
"By the time the Kansas basketball five hits Missouri on January 23 and the Tigers will find that the Jayhawkers will show them a hard game and no walkaway," said Dr. F. C. Allen today. "The team at C. Houston is going to beat him. Empirical Wishan will find tough sledding when they buck up against the Kansas five the first week after vacation."
The style of play being taught the squad this season, according to the coaches, will be one that will make it impossible for any one man to be a star. Teamwork will work in a negative throughout the season. Basket tries from further back than twenty feet will be discouraged and an attempt is being made by the mentors to develop the entire squad into a rapid five basket-producing team well as a scrappy defensive team.
The squad was cut this week to seventeen men and the first scrimmage with the yearlings was held Wednesday. Varsity piled up a total of forty points before the fresh scores of last season, who have turned out for practice so far will be further augmented soon by the addition of Scrubby Laesett, captain-elect for 1918 season, who has not reported as yet. Land Barter, who has been in the coal fields may also be added to the squad. Barter played freshman ball in it 10. Of the seven left, Bestoff forward and Captain Lonjon as a defense man, are showing up unusually well.
Six or eight of the regulars have been asked to return to school early in order to prepare for the Normal School, and many men will be in Lawrence January 1.
The freshman squad is very large and there are still several that are expected out that have not reported. Soon after vacation the process of weeding out the best players will begin. Doctors were vided into two bunches. Doctor Allen will take care of one of them and Ad Lindsay will work with the others
Business Methods Lax At M.U.Says Auditor
Jefferson City, Mo., Dec. 18. The State Auditor's office of Missouri yesterday made report to Governor Gardner recommending that the next legislature make several changes in policies relating to the University of Missouri. The accounts report that there has been a mix up of different appropriations and there are no receipts for pay-roll and bank checks for $39,729.46. The accounts report that the secretary ascribed by the business manager to the lack of extra help.
They said further that disbursement records for 1917 and 1918 had not been footed up, this entailing the employment of an accountant to keep it from falling into his report. They do not claim that the state has lost any money by this faulty method, but found that appropriations had bee wrongly applied and that $501.20 had been paid out of the University funds as premiums on the bonds of employees without any legal authority for such payment.
GERMANY STILL UNREGENER-
ATE
The demonstration in the Potadam garrison church during the service for the German soldiers who fell in the war of 1863 is many simply biding her time to seek revenge for the humiliation she had to undergo. With the officiating clergyman standing on the tomb or Frederick the Great and pledging the surrender, the congregation singin' "Deutschland Uber Alles," there cannot be much regret in their hearts for the iniquitous and inhuman war they forced upon the world. Their only comningly is that it failed in its object.
Germany is today without ships, without money, and with an army that is to a great extent demoralized. It will take her many years to orphan the children of those who her *t*menc to her neighbors that she was before her armies were crushed by the united weight of Christendom. But Germany is a pa- tribute of her war, and a century preparing for the recent war, and if it was not successful it
was not for lack of effort on her part.
She provided for every eventality she could foresee, and she failed only because there were some she overlooked. She sees her mistakes now and is already preparing to remedy them. Given another forty or fifty years fo. preparation, she has to prepare herself and resteness an enemy as she was during the late war.

ARE GOOD DAM SITES ON RIVERS OF STATE
Lawrence "Sitting Pretty on the Dam" Furnishes Lesson for Other Cities
The coal shortage and Lawrence "sitting pretty on the dam" with perhaps the least inconvenience and change in its normal life of any large towns or cities in Kansas furnishes a lesson in the need of more water power to pump it out. J. O. Jones, assistant professor of hydraulic engineering in the University of Kansas, The Blue, the Solomon, the Big Stranger, the Martias des Cygnes and the Smoky Hill all have some excellent dam sites that would afford power for industry or for public use where steam plants, says Professor Jones.
"While Kansas is not a water power state," said Mr. Jones, "there never was a dam that could be used for water power plants. Among there are dam sites on the Blue near Ranaldhp, Irving, Marysville, and Oketo to power 10,000 horse power the year around."
High Price of Coal Induces Installing of More Water Power Plants
Many Rivers Offer Power
"The Little Blue has good power possibilities at Waterville and at Hanover; the one at Hanover under process of development, I understand. The other, under process of development, is that of rebuilding the old dam at Valley Falls on the Delaware.
I ODOLATION OF POWER SUPPRESSES
"On the one hand there are two good sites I know to near Bergenton, the other near Delphos. The Smoky Hill has three good power developments and several undeveloped sites. And there are two good possibilities on the Kaw near kopeka, one three miles above the eighteen miles above the capital.
FEW OPTIMUNITIES ON ARKANSAS
"The Arkansas River offers little chance for water power development.
The stream bed is so wild that it makes the cost of dam construction prohibitible. But there are also poor power streams because they have long low-water periods almost every summer. The Republic is another stream that offers almost nothing in power development because the river's waters alternating with very low water.

Made in 17 LEADS one for every need or preference - power development. A power site must have a rock or otherwise stable foundation for a dam and in this country it has been found impractical to operate water plants under less than an 8-foot fall of water.
HELP'S DURING COAL STRIKE
Lawrence has a water power plant on the Kaw that develops an average of 2,000 horsepower. During the coal minerade, when other towns were forced to adopt the most stringent regulations, he had the water power plant to furnish all the light needed, to run its street cars and, had there been need, to operate the pumps of its water plant.
"Water power plants are practical today where they could not have competed with steam plants a few years ago," Mr. Jones said. "The high price of coal is the cause of this, and no other energy source has stalled of more water power plants, which cost almost nothing to run after the heavy installation costs."
