(E. L. The establishment of an occupa- tional bureau, a definite organiza- Jpon of the alumnae and the decis-I M'vm to unite with Sigma Delta Chi in forming a code of ethics for the profession were the principal results of the second national convention of Theta Sigma Phi held at the Uni-' vessity of Wisconsin April 29 to May 1. The occupational bureau will be in a central city, in charge of a director. All women of the profession i of journalism as well as members of Theta Sigma Phi will have the use of this bureau.

The organization of the alumnae will be based upon the plan of the Institute of! Journalists of Great Britain with some modifications. The aim of this plan is to put the profession of 1 journalism in the same status with the professions of law and medicine. A committee was appointed to confer with a committee from Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalism fraternity, to formulate a code of ethics for the Because of interest manifested by women journalists in other countries in the activi- ir ties of Theta Sigma Phi, the con- vention went on record as favoring I international expansion.

He practiced law until 1899 when he came to the University as an instructor in Law.

In 1913 and 1914 Professor Higgins was upon leave of absence to study and investigate the English courts for the American Judicature Society. Upon his return his health having been undermined either by the English climate or over strain, forced him to spend a year in Colorado before taking up his work in the University. After several years' work he found it necessary to return to Colorado where he has spent most of his time in tha last fivn vaana TTia rVlanR i 4 a ntjc iv nave iciuiiicu La I dice this fall, as he had seemingly recovered his health. Professor Higgins was bom in Rush County, Indiana May 6, 1865 and was married to Ella Marie Anderson of Morganville, Kansas, in 1899. He was president of the Kansas State Bar Association in 1918 and a member of Phi Delta Theta, Phi Delta Phi and Phi Beta Kappa.

He was prominent in Masonic circles, having recently been elected to the thirty-third degree. While in school Professor Higgins was active in athletics, being a prom-, inent football man. After his graduation he was interested in tennis. He always was an expert fisherman. He and his family have spent eighteen consecutive summers in their cottage in Colorado.

Prof. Charles Skilton who has outlined the pageant is writing special music for the Indian and some other scenes. Miss Adelaide Steger of the department of physical education has arranged a group of original dances depicting the Kansas prairies. Willard Wattles, Kansas poet, is writing a couplet for each scene of the pageant to be used for the souvenir programs. He is also writing several songs to be sung by the chorus in the historical scenes.

Miss Margaret Lynn who is especially familiar with early Kansas history, has written the scenarios for the historical scenes of New England and Kansas, including Quantrell's raid of Lawrence. The whole pageant will give the outstanding points in the growth of the state and the University and will give Lawrence people and University students an opportunity to see them picturesquely presented for the first time. Men who have been chosen to portray the fading historical characters are; Gov? Charles Robinson, first governor of Kansas, Frank Jennings; Amos Lawrence, Claude Kelsey; Eli Thayer, George Gould; Horace Greeley, Murl Kimel; John Brown, Frank Stacey; Quantrell, Clarence Burkholder; Sheriff Jones, Kelvin Hoover; Coronado, Frank Baldwin; Branson, Fred Boob; Chancellor Frazier, first chancellor of the University, Robert Albach. The dances ura nrnrticallv ner- I fected, the Indian scenes are being arranged by Haskell Indians and the cast of the historical scenes is practicing every day at 4 :30 o'clock under the directibn of Professor Skilton and Burney Miller. SPRING WORM PESTS Anh KILLING rLAMTS Chinch Bugs Will be More Num erous This Year Says Hungerford By C.

O. ''The pests which are doing the most harm to flowers, fruits, and grains right now are the currant worms and cut worms," said Prof. H. B. Hungerford of the department of entomology today.

The currant worms are the larvi of the wasp commonly called a saw-fly, which belongs to the same family as the rose-fly. These worms are quickly defoliating the currant and gooseberry bushes, leaving only the bare stems. If the bushes are not yet in fruit they can be easily killed by using a mixture of arsenic of lead and lime, one part to nine, and dusting it on the bushes. If the fruit is mature straight lime or black leaf forty, one part to 600, are good remedies. White helledore is also a good stock remedy.

The effects of these poisons will disappear in twenty-four hours so that the fruit will not be injured. Cut worms can be killed by using bran mash composed of one pound At a special meeting of the Kansan Board Thursday night seven new members were elected to the Board. Those elected are: Ruth Armstrong, c'21, McPherson; Meda Smith, c'21, Paola; Arthur Garvin, c'22, Erie; Charles Nicolet, c'21, Kansas City, Lucile Cleveland, c'21, Howard; James Austin, fc'22, Cottonwood Falls and Joe Boyle, c'21, Emporia. CLUB WOMEN REQUEST SCHOOL DORMITORIES Federation Meeting at Hays Makes Resolutions For Women's Residence Halls That the women of Kansas are alive to the housing situation is shown by resolutions presented at the state meeting of the Kansas Federation of Women at Hays, May 10-12. Dr.

Alberta Corbin, adviser of women of the University and Mrs. Mary Pierce Van Tale, dean of women at the state agricultural college, appeared before the' convention to explain the needs at the state colleges. Folltowing resolutions were adopted by the convention: "Whereas, many of our girls are sent out of the state because better college homes are provided in other states and "Whereas, we believe that the girls of our state should have provision and care second to none, therefore "Be it resolved, that we unite in requesting, the legislature to provide halls for residence for our girls, in institutions of higher learning, and that we declare this the most important piece of legislation affecting women before the federation, and that we pledge our active support to the committee on halls of residence." GLICK WRITES BOOK Sophomore Turns in 140 Pages; Illustrations and Maps for Thesis (By C. A complete book, 140 pages with preface, dedication, index, maps, and sixty-nine first hand illustrations all for a term paper. This is the work of Perry A.

Glick, a sophomore in the college from Hamilton, in his course "Economic Plant Geography" under Dr. Grace Charles in the department of botany. "Tropical Agriculture of the World" is the title of the work which covers a discussion of Florida, Australia, Southern Asia, Africa, South America, Central America, the Philippines, Hawaii, and other Pacific islands, their natural products, scenery, inhabitants, and the possibilities of their future development. The book contains seventy pages of carefully prepared discussion on the tropical agriculture of about twelve or fifteen countries of the tropics, and sixty-nine first hand photographs illustrating the text, many of which are quite valuable. William Beebe, nationally known naturalist and contributor to the American Magazine, sent Mr.

Glick several good photographs and Dr. Hugh Taylor, missionary from Siam, furnished several more. Other photographs were obtained from -the Florida University Extension Division through Miss Clara Fisher formerally of the University of Kansas; from the American Zoological Society of New York; from the Missouri Botanical Gardens; from the Wav Department Bureau of Insular Affairs and from the American Magazine. The book contains a brief discussion by Kermit Roosevelt on the agriclulture of the tropica countries he has explored. Henderson Martin, of Lawrence, formerly vice-governor of the Philippines also has written an interesting discussion on the agriculture of these islands.

The topic was assigned to Mr. Glick just before Easter. He finished the work and turned it in the first of this week. "It is by, far the most complete and elaborate term thesis I have ever had submitted to me," said Doctor Charles today. "Any student, particularly an underclassman is to be highly complimented on such a careful study." A convocation is announced for 10:30 Tuesday, May 18, in Rob- inson Gymnasium.

SPANISH ACT PLEASES Parts Successfully Interpreted In First Presentation of Spanish Play "El Punao de Rosas," (the handful of roses) a Spanish operetta produced by the students of the department of Spanish, Thursday night, was a wonderful success, and dem- onstrated the high order of work ac complished, both in the mastery of the Spanish and in the interpreta ners and customs of the people.

Its interpretation was especially pleas ing, with its setting of charming costumes. The leads were carried by Belva Shores, as Rosario, the daughter of the well-to-do farmer, and Fernando V. Bermejo, as Targuo, the poor but honest rural, who saved Rosario from the intrigues of Pepe, Prof. Jose M. Albaladeio.

Miss Shores carried many difficult solos go. Twenty members of Circo-Lo Rojo the Spanish Club oLWestport High School, Kansas with their instructor, Mr. Phillips, attended the play. This was the first presentation of this play in the United States Urges Attendance at Convocation Chancellor Strong has sent personal invitations to all members of the faculty to be present at his farewell convocation which will be held Tuesday morning. May 18.

As the convocation will last more than one hour both 10:30 and 11:30 classes will be dismissed and it is the wish of the chancellor that every university student attend the meeting as well as all the faculty. Now is the time of year when term papers are being handed in and final examinations are drawing near. Naturally K. U. maidens, while counting the weeks, days, or minutes, according to their dispositions, are turning their thoughts towards home, some with a feeling of relief, some with pain at leaving a newly found soul-mate, and some with horror at the thought of stagnation in an unappreciative village.

The quotations here set down are told to Kansan readers in confidence and are not to be repeated. Eudora girl (Belle of freshman class): "Do I want school to end? I should say not. Canning fruit has no charms for me." Topeka Girl (Just engaged two weeks): "I'll be glad to see mother, but after a month, mc-ther doesn't lose her charm, but we' don't thrill each other so much as at first." Wichita Girl (With vampish bangs) "School can't be over too soon to suit me. This place is simply dead, but at home, our crowd, well Hutchinson Girl (Phi Beta Kappa) "Just two weeks more and I can sleep until ten every morning." Kansas City Girl (With seven silk dresses): "School might just as well continue. The Blue Goose is closed and the Blue Lantern is getting the crowd." MOTHERS ARE GUESTS Af Y.W.CA LUNCHEON "Must Have Christian Leaders to Save World," Says Dr.

Braden Mothers and house chaperones were the guests of honor at the weekly Y. W. C. A. luncheon at Myers Hall this noon.

The tables were decorated with spring flowers and favors for the mothers ere small bunches of sweet peas. The Delta Tau orchestra played. Doctor Braden, the speaker of the hour, emphasized (the present need of the world for Christian leaders. Too many of the present day leaders see only their mall group instead of the larger whole. "We can never build America so long as we have one group of men fighting against the men of another group," he said.

"The specific demand is for Christian leaders and unless these are furnished we are going backward. We can no longer live in a world of self. fr n-- vhat peopie ueveiop a ieenng oi xne "brotherhood of man" and that they put into their work this spirit of a broader vision." "Women hold the center of power" he continued. "When the home collapses all civilization falls. Back of every Christian leader there has been a Christian mother and a mother's influence is the greatest influence in a person's life.

Give us mothers of vision and integrity, who will contribute the ideals and influences that will patch together the broken strings of civilization." The last weekly luncheon this year will be held next Friday noon and the Rev. E. A. Blackman of Chanute will be the speaker. MOVIES FOR LOYALTY Women are Urged to Support Movement by Large Attendance "Women of the University are vitally interested in the success of the Loyalty Movement as the men should be, and shouldl show their interest in attending the K.

U. Mov- Miss Olsen urges all women to attend. They can do nothing better to further the Loyalty Movement and show their appreciation of the men's work than by a record break- ing attendance. It is desired that all women wear arm bands and that there be an exhibition of old time pep and college spirit. Tnere is a two fold purpose of the Movies: To bring the movies of school activities to the students of the University, and to make possible the 'ownership by the University of all films taken during the school year.

Many high schools fhrougout the state have already requested that they be permitted to exhibit the pictures in order to stimulate interest in the University for the fall term. Two exhibitions will be given in Fraser Monday, May 17 at 7 and 9 o'clock. Uhrlaub Was at His Best Largest Crowd of Season Witnesses K.U. Milk Aggie Cow at McCook Field By M. H.

S. All the horseshoes in the Missouri i Valley couldn't have helped the Aggie nine yesterday in the 9 to 2 contest in favor of Kansas, even if the lucky strike emblems had been strung from the little town down the river to the hilltop of Oread. Luck was coming the Jayhawker's way on McCook field. Magrath said to be the finest pitcher Vl Vnllov mof io ASiiml nrknn ItA ran up. against Uhrlaub, who pitched a two hit game and struck out fourteen Aggie batsmen, heavy hitting on the part of the Jayhawkers helped the Kansas pitcher win the" one-sided game.

Fame started the Jayhawker's way after the Manhattanites had flirted with fortune for two runs in the first. Things looked serious for a moment I when Quinlan hit a three bagger which brought Cowell in and with the aid of an error by Murphy, gave them their first and last score. Three strikeouts by Uhrlaub in the second started things for Kansas and in the third inning, an error by Mer-cen sent Wood to first, who later travelled home on Murphy's homerun. Safe hits by Bunn, Lonborg and Cow-gill, and a fielder's choice and error, brought in Bunn and Lonborg in the fourth. A gift by the Aggie twirler in the next inning landed lsenberger at first, who later stole second and came in on Bunn's single, which placed on third through esrors by E.

Cowell and Quinlan. Drives along the field base line by Smith and Uhrlaub were good for two bases each in the sixth, and scored Smith while Uhrlaub reached the plate when Guilfoyle dropped the ball. Wood reached first when Dick-erson muffed the ball, and later stole second. Murphy got a life at first on a fielder's choice, which failed to get Wood at the plate. A base on balls to Gray sent Murphy to second whe scored while Gray was tagged in trying to steal second.

In the tight innings, Murphy stole second while Magrath for the second time during the game, held the ball. Manhattan AB PO A E. Cowell.

"The chinch bugs, the great pests of wheat and corn fields will probably be worse this year than they were last," said Professor Hungerford, "because such great numbers of them in the first generation lived through the winter." There seems to be no effective way of killing them after they get started I in the spring.

The best way. is to destroy their nesting places in the fields in winter. "The damp weather this spring, however, is not favorable to their development," continued Professor Hungerford, "because it promotes the growth of the white fungus which kills the chinch bug." in order to avoid any confusion."
