THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Aid Goes to China After Madame's Visit To America in April
The Army's announcement that material aid has been going to China since April brings to mind Madame Chiang Kai-Shek's visit to the United States last April. Evidently her plea for aid to China did not go unheeded.
Organizer of the New Life Movement in China—to promote an enlightened and more sanitary China and to overcome the superstitions and doubts built up through the centuries—the Generallissimo's wife always manages to look well-groomed as she goes about her work with war orphans and among women in industry.
Often acclaimed the greatest woman in the public eye today. Madame Chiang Kai-Shek is a petite, vivacious woman who isn't afraid of soiling her hands by dressing soldier's wounds or doing any other physical relief work.
When she visited the United States newspapermen were awed by her eloquence before Congress and amazed by her combination of brains and beauty during the press conference which followed.
The American people caught their breath at the sound of true greatness when they heard the Madame say to the massed crowd at Madison Square Garden, "No matter what we have undergone and suffered we must try to forgive those who injured us and remember only the lesson gained thereby." An idealist? Certainly. But also a woman admired internationally and loved by the people of her country for the practical aid she is giving them.
Wellesley educated Madame Chiang Kai-Shek attributes her success to Christianity, which she views as a practical means of making her life simple, wise and great. Admired by all who know or have heard of her, the Madame is destined to become an even greater force in the world of tomorrow.

Rock Chalk Talk
By MARY MORRILL
Promoted by Bob Harwi, Phi Gam last year, now on furlough, an army-navy musical comedy was planned in the Fiji menage last weekend. On the program will be a special number for the V-12, "Shoo, Shoo, Baby, Your Papa's Off to His English Class." Also a number for the marines which goes something like this, "A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H I got a gal on Guadalcanal. She's not so white, but she's all right at night on Guadalcanal."
During the entire show, infantrymen will run up and down the aisles sticking bayonets into members of the audience.

Scripture“I’ve never seen a purple car, I never hope”—etc. Tuck Sifers, army medic, went down after his car which had just been painted and was led to a dark corner of the garage. The garage man and Tuck exchanged remarks on what a beautiful shade of blue it really was, and Tuck drove out into the light. All the way down the street he noticed people stopping in their tracks to stare, and girls waving and whistling. But he didn’t suspect anything until he picked up fraternity brother Jim Roderick and caught the queer look on the latter’s face. Jumping
Scientists Attend Dr. Debye's Lecture
Not very repulsive: J. F. Kelsey, Sigma Nu, and Bob Kirk, both army medics, were puzzling over an incision to be made down the middle of their laboratory cadaver, an interesting ex-seaman covered with tattoos of nude women. When their instructor came around, he showed them how to cut around the largest and most skelptly tattoo located squarely on the patient's chest. "Do it that way," said the teacher with a .wink, "and I'll show you how to tan that woman."
The body was identified by . . . Dean Huebert and Jack Giesch were having a fight at the Phi Bete table, and Dean came out ahead, just as dessert ended. Seeking revenge, Giesch trailed Huebert up to the shower room. When the latter had divested himself of all clothing, Jack attacked with a rubber identification stamp. According to the boys, Dean is covered from head to foot with his navy identification (meant for clothing) in indelible ink.
It is now possible to come within three thousandths of one degree Centigrade to absolute zero, according to Dr. Peter Debye, head of the chemistry department at the Cornell University for the past five years. He spoke before an audience of approximately 150 scientists Saturday evening in Fraser theater.

Winner in 1936 of the Nobel prize for outstanding scientific research, Dr. Debye, a native of Holland, has held many important positions in European universities. Before coming to this country, he was professor of physics at the University of Berlin, director of the physical institute at Leipzig, research professor at the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute in Germany, and has been awarded the Lorenz, Rumford, Fairaday and Franklin scientific medals.
Until recently, the lowest temperature obtainable has been nearly two degrees above absolute zero, but by attacking the disorder hidden in the nucleus of the atom, this point has been lowered, Dr Debye explained in his lecture which had as its theme, "The Magnetic Approach to Absolute Zero."

ism, at 10 a.m. on day of publication.
Going to China in 1923. Miss Edgar taught in the schools there, first in boys' schools and later in what would be equal to our high schools where both boys and girls attended. She came back to the United States for a short time, but returned to China despite the fact that Japan had declared war on China.
Miss Edgar was teaching in Shanghai at the time Pearl Harbor was bombed and was taken to a relocation camp with other missionaries and civilians. So many rumors of being exchanged were circulated during the months spent in the camp that when the word did come that they were to be sent home, the prisoners would not believe it.
