Kosmet Klub Is

constructed on one side of the Colis
eum floor, leaving the entire expanse
for the dancers. The floor is reported
to be in excellent condition for
dancing.
Decorations for the party will be
fairly simple, consisting mainly of
lighting effects. Past parties in the
Coliseum have shown the futility of
elaborately disguising it, but Kosmet
Klub will attempt something different
with colored lights. Brilliant cords of
lights will be strung from balcony
to balcony, across the wide expanse
of floor. Those who attended the
1928 Interfraternity Ball sponsored
by Kosmet Klub will remember some
thing concerning the Klub's Univer
sity dances.

order to give alumni and students an
opportunity to contribute toward the
purchase of this football award.
Refreshments of various kinds will
be furnished by Kosmet Klub for
the party. Admission to what the
alumni association refers to as "The
greatest Nebraska ball" will be fifty
cents for couples and twenty-five
cents for "stags".
Geraldine Heikes, Tom McCoy, and
Evelyn Johnson.
Miss Erma Appleby and C. D.
Hayes, secretaries of the student as
sociations at the university, will also
attend the conference in official capacity.
Fourteen types of retail trade in
Wisconsin are being studied by the
research division of . the School of
Commerce at the state university as
part of a program to link the school
with practical, business problems of
the state.
The research division proposes to
deal with business problems of the
state just as the College of Agricul
ture acts as a service station, in
which agricultural problems are in
vestigated and results are made avail
able io farmers.
Results Announced Soon
The study of retail trade in Wis
consin is based on z.ouu operating
statements for 1925, 1926, with per
haps as many more soon to be ob
tained for 1927. Some of the re
sults are expected to be announced
shortly. These results will give pic
tures of accomplishments of the var
ious retailers. The normal accom
plishments of each of the operating
expenses and important balance
sheets ratios will be included.
Individual business men will be
able to find out through compari
sons where they stand in relation to
other members of their field. The
data will serve as a measure of the
degree to which any retailer is get
ting out of line with the normal ac
complishment of his fellow retailers.
The figures will include not only
those for the 14 groups but also for
the various sizes of business within

cause was a small wharf fire on the
Jersey side. The surprising thing was
that ho was nabbing the suckers off.

Large Pretzels
"Two boys were carrying a laun
dry basket which had sticks fastened
around the side. On the sticks were
strung pretzels about the size of a
good 'two-bit' ham sandwich. Two
of these make a meal and cost a jit
ney. I fully expected to see a boot
legger peddling home brew in the
wake of the pretzel boys but then I
remembered Emory Buckner had
padlocked everything, although I
couldn't see any of the padlocks. '
"I contributed a dime and a cigar
ette to an old salt who had been
around the world and gave me some
interesting conversation. New York
City has seven million people but, Oh
what a population! Women have
the vote, let them stand the gaff.
And they do stand especially in the
subways. There are none of the
common courtesies shown the women
here which we think so essential. Up
around Broadway and forty-second
in the show district, where women
use enough paint to cover all the Lin
coln fire bams, a different relation
exists. But to dine with one of these
Broadway dolls costs too many bucks
and is costs even to sight-see in New
York so I've been having most of my
meals alone.
"I went up to the top of the Wool
worth building which is 68 stories
high. From here you can see how
the island is surrounded by East river
an one side and the Hudson on the
other. They call the building the ca
thedral of commerce. Only 14,000
nennla work in the building. There
are 28.000 telephones, 80,000 elec
trie lights; quite a small city in i
self.
Smith is Favorite
"Al Smith is New York's favorite,
.Timmie Walker could almost run for
the presidency himself if he succeeds
in keeping the subway fare down to
five cents. I think I shall buy a dic
tionary if I stay in New York so I
can understand the language they

Cooperation Needed
Further studies are dependent on
cooperation from business men in the
state who must supply the informa
tion on which the research is based,
explains Philip G. Fox, assistant pro
fessor of business administration.
Mr. Fox invites suggestions for re
search projects. . "
"We have in mind an index and
fore-castings service for the benefit
of 40,000 or more retail outlets in
the state," says Mr. Fox. "We pro
pose to begin with them because we
want to build from the ground up.
"But if we are to forecast any
thing we must first have a complete
knowledge of the past and present
histoiy of whatever we are trying to
forecast We must have current re
ports and we must have reports from
as large a proportion of the retailers
of the state as we can reach. Actual
sales information can come from no
other source than the retailers.
Need Much Data
"We needs lot3 of data which cov
er Wisconsin as a whole, and which
cover the various sections of the

state. Business in one state differs
from business in another, and busi
ness in one section of the state fluct.
uates in a manlier different from
that in other parts.
"An adequate service such as we
are contemplating will require a
large amount of information not only
for the voriaus trade areas in the
state, but for each type of trade.
Then there must be external data
which we must gather by enlisting
the cooperation of the state govern
ment, the utilities, the transporta
tion agencies, the bankers, the state
associations, in fact anyone who is
able to supply anything of significance.
Commerce School Is Center
"To collect and study this data re
quires a central coordinating body to
avoid duplication, and we believe the
research division of the School of
Commerce is a logical agency to un
dertake the whole range of this
work."
Individual business records which
are being furnished by retailers and
others in the state are held In strict
confidence, says Mr. Fox. From time
to time, backed by the cooperation
and interest of business men in the
state, various ether major research
projects will be started.
An airplane corporation plans to
ftart passenger service between Chi
cnern, St. Louis and Omaha within a
short time. Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh has been invited to join the
company's directorate.
