**Wrote Book on Profits.**
One of his most recent publications is a book entitled "Where Have My Profits Gone?" It contains an examination of the various ways in which profits are lost and suggestions for preventing such losses.
His book takes specific instances of business management for criticism and comment. One chapter deals with thirty-three loss losses. They range all the way from the country merchant and the corner hardware dealer to the big city merchandiser.
"New Remedies" will be the subject of Dr. Parsons' address at the banquet tonight. Dr. Parsons is with the Parke-Davis Drug Company, of Kansas City.

For Whisker Conservation
A whisker-growing contest is being held at the University of Colorado. The swain who succeeds in growing the most beautiful hirsute adornment will have his picture officially published in the Silver and Gold, the university weekly.
Change Their Caps.
The Freshmen at Amherst are demanding some more comfortable caps for the winter months. They are willing to wear a distinctive headgear and suggest a toque of special order.
A spirited controversy has started with regard to the right of co-eds to wear the varsity emblems at the University of Washington. Men claim that they have no right, as the "W" is only won in inter-class contests and the co-eds have been striving bravely to refute this.
The students of the University of Minnesota want to establish a central lost and found office on the university campus.
An Anti-Fat Club has been formed among the co-eds at Minnesota. A woman must weigh over 140 pounds to be a member. Similar clubs are flourishing at Smith and Vassar.
Plans have been practically completed for a Missouri Valley Cratorial Contest to be held the evening before the Missouri Valley field meet.
Coe College students are to award a watch to the ugliest man in that institution. The victim is to be selected by the student body.

The Young Women's Athletic Association held its first regular meeting at 4:30 in Robinson Gymnasium, to discuss and adopt the constitution. The members of the constitution committee are Bernice Schultz, Emma Kohman and Amanda Neuschwanger.
The Association considered the question of having pictures taken for the Jayhawker. Amaryntia Smith, president, urged the members to offer suggestions and plans to further the interest of the Association.
Every member of the Association is to be a referee, and is to provide herself with a whistle, in order that she may be ready to act as referee in a real game.
DOES FOOTBALL PROMOTE
COLLEGE INTERESTS? SURE
Arkansas City High School, Feb. 13—(By O. C. Ammons, Special Correspondent)—A debate was given this morning in the high school auditorium. The subject was "Resolved that football promotes the best interests in our colleges." The debate was between the Juniors of the two literary societies. The Cavaliers, represented by Harry Perival and William Turner, upheld the affirmative of the question and the Argonauts, represented by Virgil Jones and Hugh Stickler, had the negative. The decision of the judges was two to one for the affirmative. This was one of the most interesting debates that has been given in the auditorium this year.
"Within a single generation, while population has increased but a hundred per cent, the attendance upon institutions of higher learning has increased four hundred per cent. In 1880, in the United States, the whole number of secondary schools was 1,400. In 1907 the number has risen to 10,298 an increase of over 700 per cent."
Wisconsin junior prom programs for this year will contain forty pages. Each page will contain four separate divisions: one for the name of the舞; one for a selection; third, for the name of the partner; and last, a blank space, entitled "Memoirs of this Dance." An appropriate verse will close the bottom of each page.
Popular Science Monthly.
Washington and Jefferson College is to have five new buildings, some of the old buildings to be removed or torn down. The first of the new group to be built is the science building. The endowment is to be increased to a million dollars.
Columbia is to have a building for its architectural school as a result of an anonymous contribution of over three hundred thousand dollars.
The board of trustees of the University of Oklahoma has been abolished and the university is to be governed by a Board of Education.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is to move from its crowded quarters in Boston to a new site with room for a campus.
The co-eds of Syracuse are going to hold a track meet on February 10.
High School Students Settl State Debating Honors With Live Subject
WOMAN SUFFRAGE TO DECIDE CHAMPIONSHIP
EIGHT DISTRICTS IN LEAGUE
Final Debate Will be Held Here Before The Annual Interscholastic Track and Field Meet.
About forty high schools have enrolled this season in the Kansas High School Debating League and are now preparing for the first series of debates in their respective districts. The league is divided according to the congressional districts in the state, and the district questions are as follows:
First District, Commission Plan of Government.
GLEEMEN SANG TO A LARGE AUDIENCE
Seventh District, Initiative and Referendum
Seventh District, Short Ballot.
Eighth District, Popular Election of Ursuline College.
Second District, Single Tax.
Third District, Parcelcs Post.
Fourth District, Income Tax.
Fifth District, International Disarmament.
Sixth District, Initiative and Re-
After the champions of the several districts have been decided, the interdistrict contests, held by the several district champion teams, will take place. The two teams winning in these contests will come to the University of Kansas the night preceding the annual interscholastic field meet and there debate for the state championship. The question for the interdistrict and final debates is of great interest in Kansas at this time, it being the adoption of the pending amendment to the constitution of Kansas extending the right of suffrage to woman.
Great interest is being taken by these schools in debating, and especially is this true of the schools that were in the League last year. One of last year's district champions has been working on a question since early in the summer.
The Kansas High School Debating League was organized in 1910 by the University Extension Division. The University extension issues yearly bulletins for the Debating League containing the lists of questions with full references. It also gathers material on all the debating questions and sends it out to the different schools free of charge.

"Ive Been Working on the Railroad"
Fifteen students of Stanford University have proved themselves hustlers as members of a gang building a Southern Pacific steel bridge at Sacramento, Cal. The young men are working during vacation to gain practical experience in engineering, which they are specializing on at the university. The engineer in charge of the work says he wishes he had more of the same sort in his gangs.
The "Amerika Institut" has recently been founded in Berlin by the German government, with Professor Hugo Munsterberg, Harvard exchange professor, as its first director. Its object is systematically to further cultural relations between Germany and the United States. Political and commercial affairs lie outside of its realm, but anything which refers to education and scholarship, to literature and art, to technique and social welfare, to travel and public interests, to peace and international understanding will be the object of its efforts. The services of the staff will be at the disposal of American institutions scholars, and students, and effort will be made to bring into convenient contact with German universities, libraries, laboratories, and hospitals. The "Institut" may be addressed at the Royal Library building in Berlin.
Mr. Thermometer and Mr.

Goes on the Road Monday
One of the largest crowds ever gathered in the chapel of Fraser hall was present last night at the last concert to be given on the "hill" by the University Glee club. The concert in itself was one of the best ever presented by a like organization and the audience showed its appreciation by calling repeatedly for encourses for every selection rendered
The first part of the program consisted of songs by the entire club the quartet and solos by idal Black bass; Lawrence Smith, tenor and Clyde Dodge, tenor. The second part was composed almost entirely of solos by members of the club intermixed with local take-offs and selections by the quartet. During the intermission between the first and second parts a reading was given by Clarence Sowers. The program rendered will be given by the club on their western trip.

Following Harvard's change last fall from the "elective" to the "group" system in study course comes the announcement that Yale has abandoned the elective system in favor of a group system, which while allowing a limited choice in subjects, insures greater discipline in undergraduate training in the college. This step, which is being taken in more or less modified form by many educational institutions throughout the country, will it is expected (to quote the language of the provost of the University of Pennsylvania), "raise the educational standards in America to an enormous degree."

WASH YOUR COAL AND YOU'LL GET MORE HEAT
Miners Are Doing It for the State With Good Results.
Under the direction of Prof. C. M. Young, of the Mining Engineering department, a first class coal washing plant has been installed in the Geology building. The purpose of the plant is to separate foreign substances from the coal. After the preliminary experiments are completed, next week, coal from all the mining districts in the state will be tested here.
The process for the coal-washing is based on the fact that pyrite and shale, being heavier than coal, will fall faster through water than the coal. The coal is collected in a bin, and the refuse is allowed to run out into the dump.
"The laboratory experiments with the plant have been very successful," said Professor Young, "and we predict the same success in the practical work."
The mechanical engineers will soon make exhaustive tests of both washed and unwashed coal. The coal used at the University is taken from the prison mines at Larsing, and contains large quantities of shale and pyrite. These foreign substances cause clinkers to form on the grates and this in turn shuts off the draft. Much of the efficiency of the coal itself is also lost by the grates. Last year two students working under the direction of Professor Young, washed and cleaned a ton of the state coal. One hundred and sixy-eight pounds of refuse was taken from this coal and the remainder produced more heat than a ton of unwashed coal, and burned without leaving clinkers.

RED DOMINOS WILL SING OF TRUE LOVE
Original Musical Comedy Will Be Staged Latter Part of April.
IT IS "OBJECT: MATRIMONY."
Arvid Frank and J. E. Moore are the Joint Authors—Tryout for Places February 20.
"Object: Matrimony." Sounds good doesn't it? Well it is the name of the musical comedy that the Red Dominos will produce sometime in April.
Last year the Red Dominos appeared in the college theatrical horizon with an original production "The Idle Idol" and their first appearance scored a big hit. Only one of the officers returned to school this year however, and for a time it was doubtful whether or not a play would be staged.
However Donald McKay, manager of the club, announced today that an original musical comedy had been written by two members of the Sopho- more class and that on next Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock in Fraser hall a tryout will be held which every student in the University is invited to attend. The tryout will be in charge of Miss Gertrude Mossler, of the department of expression, in the University, and as there are places for thirty people in the cast, a large number are asked to come out.
Arvid Frank and J. E. Moore, both members of the sophomore class, are the authors of the musical comedy. Frank has written seventeen songs which will be used in the play, Moore has written the book, and the lyrics have been written jointly by the two authors.
The scene is laid at a fashionable hotel at a sea shore summer resort and among the guests at the hotel are Mr. and Mrs. Fransworth and their daughter Leila, whom they wish to marry to a man whom she has never seen. This man is John Wayne Jr. and the proposed blind matrimonial venture is as distasteful to him as it is to Leila. In order to gain time he brings along to the hotel a friend, one James Wiggins, and in order to postpone the marriage the two men exchange names and their consequent identities.
To complicate matters the true Wayne and Lella fall in love with each other and Wiggins, masquerading under the name of Wayne, falls in love with a friend of Lella's, Jessica Norris. You know the old saying about true love. Well it works out in this case and it is only after many tributations that the various love affairs are worked out so that all parties are satisfied.
SOPHOMORE PARTY ON MAY 3 IN GYM
Hall's Orchestra Will Play But Dancing Must Cease by Midnight
After much uncertainty regarding the date of the sophomore party, Arvid Frank, manager of this affair, stated this morning that arrangements had been made to have it on the evening of May 3 in Robinson gymnasium. In accordance with a previous custom the party will begin at six o'clock. Hall's orchestra of Topeka has been secured to furnish the music.
A recent ruling of the University Council stated that all University buildings must be closed at twelve o'clock, the only exception being in the case of the Junior Prom. A petition was presented to the Council by the manager of the sophomore party in which he asked for an extension of the time limit to 12:30. This was granted. Of course this applies to the time that the lights will be put out and it means that all dancing must cease by midnight.
From thirteen to sixteen days' vacation at Christmas will be given to Wisconsin students in the future, according to a resolution passed by the faculty committee there. But one day is to be given at Thanksgiving instead of the usual two.
