HEALTH BOARD AND UNI
VERSITY WORK TOGETHER
Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the Kansas State Board of Health, and Dean of the School of Medicine, spoke in chapel this morning. He said that the University and the Board of Health have been working together for years trying to improve the health of Kansas people. "The University of Kansas leads the state schools of the entire country in this branch of state work."
Eight distinct lines of cooperation between the Board of Health and the University were shown by a chart which Doctor Crumbine explained. The different departments are: Water analysis, food analysis, the antituberculosis exhibit, Kansas water supply, correct weights and measures, drug analysis, the public health laboratories which are used for the Board of Health, and lastly the joining of the School of Medicine and the Board of Health by making the secretary of the Board, Dean of the School of Medicine.

ATHLETES ARE BETTER
Injured Men on The Way to Complete Recovery
Stuewe, Hobson and Root, the three athletes of the University, who have been forced to miss school for the past three weeks are all showing improvement and the complete recovery of each is expected.
Reports from Alma, Kas., say that Stuewe, who was formerly fullback on the Jayhawker football team is recovering from typhoid fever. Root, who was paralyzed by a fall from the horizontal bar in the gymnasium is regaining the use of his arms and legs and he will be able to be taken to his home in Kansas City in a short while. The physicians believe that he will entirely recover in time. Hobson, the captain of the soccer team, who suffered a broken leg in the game with Friends University three weeks ago is hobbling about on crutches and will be in school Monday.

In the second half, Coffman, of Baker, secured a point for his team. When Crawford, of Kansas, kicked a goal. Another goal each for K.

FINDS 55 POUND METEOR
Professor Haworth Declare it is
Genuine Article.
A genuine meteorite, weighing 55 pounds, has been found at Greensburg, Kansas. According to Prof. Erasmus Haworth, to whom the stone was sent for examination, it is genuine and valuable.
Professor Hawor th examined the meteorite at the Lawrence National Bank, where the finder. Mr. Charles Durnell, left it. "It is covered with many little pock marks which distinguish the metallic meteorite," said Professor Haworth, "and is so similar to the one we have in the museum of the Mining building that only an expert could tell the difference. I estimate its worth at $200 or $400."
This is the second meteorite which Professor Haworth has examined this fall.
$5 FOR WEEK-NIGHT DATES.
Women's Pan-Hellenic Suggests Fine For Violation of Rule.
Girls, is a week-night date worth $5.00? That is the size of the fine that will be imposed on sorority girls for the violation of the "week-night date rule" of the Woman's Student Council, if a suggestion discussed before the last meeting of the Women's Pan-Hellenic Council is put into operation. However, until the first of December, when the W. P-H. C, meets again, the weekly ordeal "on the carpet" will be the only punishment met out to the week-nighters. Despite evil rumor who has been frightening the "eases" on the Hill for the past week, no definite action has been taken, or will be before next month.
The French club will meet Thursday, at 3:30 o'clock. Assistant Professor Neuenschwander will speak on "Dijon."

Mis-interpretation of Resolution
Defeats Pan-Hellenic Economy
The motion made by the Pan-Hellenic council for abolishing fraternity spring parties has been lost, for the time being. The motio nas, voted upon read: "That the fraternity spring party system be abolished and a Pan-Hellenic ball be given in its stead." The fraternities were given seventy-two hours in which to pass upon this. Last night in their meetings two of the fraternities voted against it. There seems to be a misunderstanding as to the exact meaning of the motion however and it probably will be brought up again at the next meeting of the council.
AFFIRMS DECISION OF DISTRICT COURT
SUPREME COURT SAYS LAW
IS CONSTITUTIONAL
Work of The State Entomology Commission is Not to be Questioned.
Two years ago Steven Balch of Wichita brought suit against the State Entomology Commission in which he sought to test the constitutionality of the state law which allowed the members of the commission to carry on their work of destroying the San Jose scale and other pests.
In the district court at Wichita it was ruled that the law is constitutional and that the commission has the right to spray orchards and do anything else that the protection of our growing products demands. Balch appealed from the decision of the district court and the case was taken to the supreme court of Kansas. Yesterday this court affirmed the decision of the lower court and the constitutionality of the law is fixed.
Prof. S. J. Hunter of the department of Entomology of the University is at the head of the Entomology Commission and was much pleased that the matter had been brought to a successful conclusion. "This is the only instance since the commission has been started that we have met any resistance in our work," he said. "This action was brought two years ago by a man who does not realize the work that we are doing. We entered his orchard and sprayed his trees and he resented our actions. The rest of the people over the state are pleased to have us investigate their growing products and aid us in every way. The decision of the supreme court settles the matter finally."
Seats For Kansas-Missouri Game Sold by Lottery.
THEY ARE GOING FAST.
Six thousand applications have been received by Manager Brewer of the University of Missouri, for tickets to the Kansas game, November 25. The applications will be put into a big box and the choice seats awarded in the order they are drawn out. The tickets are steel engraved to prevent counterfeiting, and will cost $2 and $2.50. There are seats available for about 11,500 spectators, and it is expected that they will all be sold before the game.

Prof. C. M. Harger, editor of the Abilene Reflector, will address the students in the school of journalism tomorrow morning at 10:15 in room 110 Fraser.
FIGHTING SPIRIT MUST WIN OVER NEBRASKA
HARD LUCK IS VISITING THE JAYHAWKERS
Davidson Is a Tower of Strength in the Kansas Line---Ammons Has a Bad
MADE NEW FRAT RULE
But the attitude of the coach and the general opinion among the student body are entirely different. When the defeat last Saturday is mentioned one sees a knowing little smile that is immediately followed by a meaning glint in the eye that the 3 to 0 defeat does not spell a victory for Nebraska. There may have been a lack of spirit last Saturday but when the men from the north line up against the Jayhawkers next Saturday they are going to find a team that is infused with one idea and that is to humble the Cornhuskers. The old Kansas spirit it commencing to manifest itself. A big rally is promised for Friday and there will be enthusiasm and support for the team such as has never before existed.
Last night the varsity lined up against the freshmen and the practice was anything but encouraging. Time and again the first year men went through and around the regulars for big gains and occasional touchdowns. The coach was displeased and his manned showed it.
Recognition by Pan-Hellenic Only After Three Years.
From the camp of the Jayhawker this week comes a wail of discontent and dissatisfaction that is brightened only by the general feeling among the student body that Nebraska is due to take the bitter dose next Saturday.
After the battle last Saturday Coach Sherwin was evidently dissatisfied with the showing of his team. "After the showing Saturday and the way we are playing now we are lucky if we hold Nebraska to 30 points," is the way he expressed his view of our chances against the Cornhuskers.
Shoulder
The Pan-Hellenic council passed a motion in its meeting last Sunday morning to the effect that "Any local organization petitioning any national fraternity for a charter shall make their existence known to the Pan-Hellenic three years before their petition will be recognized in the Pan-Hellenic council." "This motion was passed in order that no second class national fraternity nor one that is not up to the standard already represented in the University will be able to establish a chapter here," said a member of the council. "By this means the Pan-Hellenic is enabled to look into the local organization thoroughly and also into the fraternity which it is petitioning and decide to their own satisfaction upon the merits of each."
Scoop Club Hike.
The Scoop Club, an organization of professional newspaper men of the University, will make its second fortnightly pilgrimage to the Bierman farm, Wednesday afternoon. C. M. Harger, who is to address the students of journalism in the morning, has been invited to join the party.
The club will meet at the Kansan office at 4 o'clock.
Will Talk About Criminals
J. K. Codding, warden of the state penitentiary, will speak on the subject "Handling Criminals" at the regular Y. M. C. A. meeting next Thursday evening. Mr. Codding has held his present position for several years. He will discuss his personal experience in dealing with criminals.
Tryouts for the Thespian play "The Gay Mate. Thompkins" will be held Wednesday evening, November 15, in room 313 Fraser at 7 o'clock. The directoress will be present and all members should make it a point to attend. This will be the last chance for a part in the play.
There are two thousand students at the University who think that Coach Sherwin is fooling and that next Saturday he intends to pull off the richest joke of the season on Nebraska.
The Kansas team seems to be the hard luck aggregation. Earlier in the season Stuewe, the crack fullback, was forced to quit the game on account of illness and now the team may lose an other fullback and one of the strongest players of the team.
Baird, Tackle.
Captain Ammons, who had his shoulder injured in practice before the Oklahoma game may not go against the Cornhuskers. The big captain has no use of his arm and it is thought that a bone in his shoulder is broken. If this is so Ammons probably will be out of the game for an indefinite time.
The loss of Ammons puts the team in a bad fix for a good consistent ground gainer in this position. Daniels in the game against the Sooners showed lack of experience.
Davidson, the big tackle, is the hope of the Kansas team at present. "Davy" is tearing big holes in the freshmen line in the practice and promises to be a big factor in ground gaining against Stichm's Cornhuskus Saturday. In the game Saturday against Oklahoma he displayed what he could do in this department much to the satisfaction of the rooters.
The hard luck not only follows the Kansas team in the matter of injured players but also in other ways. Last night the water system at the dressing quarters was on the "blink" and the players had to go to the gym to change their clothes.
The old "grads" and former stars of the gridiron are coming back to get into the game. Last night "Red" Milton, once famous Jayhawker center worked with the men. Mosse was 'away but will be back today. Kennedy will be back from Ottawa with his Indians today and will help the
