Elizabeth and Eleanor International Models
Fashion may be spinach, but it is still the world's biggest industry, and the sudden caprices of the fashion creators are not to be taken lightly by either the thousands employed in the business nor the thousands of shopping women. Every popular idol has a vast fashion influence—when Irene Castle bobbed her hair, the barber shop became a beauty mecca instead of a men's club, and the hair-pin manufacturers for ether hair and lost millions of dollars. Fashion is food in the mouths of persons ranging from mute exclusive designer and wealthy manufacturer to the humble buttonmaker and dress clerk. This diversified business is now an important part of any nation's economy.
When Queen Elizabeth of England and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt meet in Washington June 8, the eyes of the world will be upon them, and that visit will be news in both the political world and the fashion world. Because for weeks the newspapers have been rumoring the number of gowns in each wardrobe, the length of the skirts, women everywhere have been eagerly anticipating the parade of the two famous women.
Though Washington on June 8 will probably be in the midst of that devastating heat that makes even golf a burden to stout Congressmen, the two first ladies will be dressed in sheer wool dresses in their favorite shades of blue. Reason: the gowns are gifts of the wool growers of their respective countries, and such a favor is more valuable than a government subsidy.
Queen Elizabeth and Mrs. Roosevelt have both become more style-conscious since they became the much photographed darlings of their publics. Their choice of wardrobes influences the home industry and helps determine what the women of America and England will wear. The wool growers who have realized the importance of Elizabeth and Eleanor as fashion-copy are using these gracious models as a super-advertising scheme which will show and sell their product to the world.
We stick out our neck and predict that Spring is definitely here to stay, but we refuse to be responsible for the aftermath of any actions such as throwing away overcrops that this announcement may generate.
Dedicated To the Sun
Although most scientists and astronomers now believe that the chariat of the sun is no longer pulled by fiery horses, some, for fancy's sake, would like to have Apollo free-wheeling through the sky. And as he goes by on the dome of heaven, he probably smiles at the sight of several thousand students sprawling about half-naked on porch rooms and lawns. It is Mt. Oread.
Unlike their predecessors—the Aztecs, Incas, and early Egyptians, these modern sun-worshippers make burnt offerings of themselves. This trend is decidedly alarming. If we were a sun-worshipper we would make a definite protest against it. The real fact is that the curative values of heliotherapy were discovered in the monkey-house of the Zoological Gardens, London. Since then, sun-dogmatists have been making monkeys of themselves.
Millions of them are sunburned each year as proof of their zeal. The symptoms of sunburn are soreness, inflammation, and peeling of the skin. And there are almost as many cures for the ordinary garden variety (or baywindow type) of sunburn as for the common head cold, and most of them about as useless. Various cures may be obtained from either sunburned or unsunburned friends, although in a few cases the victim has been known to visit his family doctor. Such action, however, is generally frowned upon by the Royal Order of Sun Bathers.
Excepting perhaps dangerous burns and deleteriousness, sun-bathing has few ill effects. Nor is it a great social evil. Neither is goldfish swallowing. The two current fads may be termed silly.
France's Press Example
Might Prove Enlightening
Those who harshly accuse American newspapers of being controlled by their advertisers have only to look it France for an example of what might happen if there was no advertising to depend upon. In France, advertising is not developed to the extent it is in America, with the result that the French press must seek other means of support.
The recent curb of the press by the French government brought to light the fact that sums were being accepted from other countries for printing propaganda in French newspapers. Daladier recently issued a decree prohibiting
this practice. Many newspapers, subsidized by the French government, are the recognized organs of government propaganda. Other means of support come from political party organizations, politicians, and industrial magnates.
American newspapers, because they are self-supporting, institutions, have the opportunity to be entirely independent of outside coercion. In order to exist, French newspapers, unfortunately, have been forced to become tools of pressure groups.
The slight pressure exerted by advertisers on some newspapers' policy is quite harmless in comparison with the control exerted on the French press.
Wanted--
Fingerprints
Have you been finger-printed?
Voluntary cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation in securing fingerprints for civil records is a student opportunity. The University is among the first ten schools in the country to conduct such a campaign, which is a project being sponsored here by Alphi Phi Omega, national service fraternity.
The days when fingerprints served only in connection with the apprehension of criminals is past. Today the Bureau of Missing Persons in Washington is swamped with cases of strange disappearances. Accidents and disasters leave their quota of unidentified victims, many of whom could be identified if only their fingerprints were available.
Finger-prints are unique and invaluable means of identification. All students should willingly place their prints on record.

Mattern Paintings Now on Exhibit
Prize Winning Prints On Display in Union
An exhibition of the recent work of Prof. Karl Matern of the department of painting, is being held this month at Thayer museum.
Half of the 22 pictures are watercolors and with the exception of one or two, none have been shown before. One of Professor Matter's watercolors, which has been shown in Thayer museum, was recently acquired for the permanent collection of the Brooklyn museum of art.
Professor Mattert's collection will end the exhibitions offered by the department of painting this year except for the annual student's exhibit at commencement. During the year, the work of several members of the faculty and a large collection of watercolors by well-known American painters have been shown at Thayer museum.
Subscription rates, in advance, $3.00 per year, $1.75 per semester. Published at Lawrence, Kansas, daily during the school year on Monday and Saturday. Entered as second class year September 2016, and office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the Act of March 3, 1879.
A special viewing and discussion of the exhibit will be held tonight at 8 o'clock by the K.U. Camera club.
Sixty-two prize winning prints from an international photographic context will be on display in the Walt Disney Studios building today and tomorrow.
The prize winning prints from this annual competition have been exhibited here regularly for the last six years. The exhibit was scheduled to have been held in Spooner-Thayer museum the first 10 days of May, but owing to late arrival of prints, will be held. Oren Bingham University photographer, made the arrangements for the display.
menus for the display
notes'n discords by John Randolph Tye
A nice thing about the spires which is just beginning to bloom on the campa is that there is no danger of anyone trampling them down.
Not that we'd accuse the Kansas City papers of playing up the municipal scandals that have been breaking daily since Easter, but we would appreciate it if they would space the discoveries about a week apart. As it is now, one looks at the city's current record: only a million dollars missing today," and then turns to see how Uncle Walt is making out.
Oread High Notes
Maryln McBride is the latest to go in for nature worship. Yesterday evening she was seen sitting on the roof of the journalism building reading a book of poetry. She claimed that from that place of vantage she could better watch the beauty of the setting sun.
Last Thursday morning at 9:30 the junior class entertained the Oread assembly with a program supposed to have taken place in a radio broadcasting studio. A short play was given, participated in by Bob Ware, James Stanley, Elizavez McGee, and Daniel Leibovitz Courtney, Clifton Brown, and Elaine Dillon. Bob Weir gave a vocal solo, and June Draper, a piano solo. Milred York gave a tap dance. Arthur Grant was the announcer.
The annual Hi-Home Night will be held at Memorial Union Building tonight. Invitations have already been sent for this occasion. There will be a short program followed by reflections and an hour of dancing.
We're sorry we will have to miss tonight's folk festival. Our curiosity has been aroused by the advertisements. We wanted to see the Var-souviana, and learn to Polka and do the Dosey-Do.

On the Shin --
(Continued from page one)
10. 35 in a room occupied by Rolla Nuckles' 10.30 speech class, Mr. Nuckles astounded people, including himself, by demanding his rights as a citizen and instructor. Dr. Moreau capitulated.
Although it hurts me to admit it, the Kappa party Clyde Smith's band cut loose with a novelty number in which a couple of the boys show some talent. Dean Brooks, the plumbing trust, does an imitation of Roosevelt that should put an end to all Roosevelt imitation in a song about The Three Little Fishes. And Forrest Miles adds an immoy of Baby Snooks, which, thank heaven, is much funner than Baby Snooks.
Among intristing facts that everybody should know: The boys who run the cake store at the Beta house sell house-traps on the side. And it is a freshman duty to run the traplines. Olders claim that Lee Johnstone was about the best trapper the Beta's ever pledged. He became the first man who caught people bring about the he used to cut off the mouse's tails and mount them, each properly labeled, on a board as trophies.
The Senior Class Breakfast will not be held at 7:15 a.m. this year as in the past. That is, if some of the sleep-loving leaders have their way Since there are no conflicts at a later hour, the boys thing it would be a good idea to move it up to around
8:30. Being only a junior, but one Ye Shinster thinks, it's a good idea who lives with an eye to the future, too.

UNIVERSITY CITY
More than 4,500 young men and women at the prime of life, receptive to thenewand different, associate and interact in hundreds of activities from dance to classroom—in a city within a city—on the hill.
They hold hundreds of thousands of dollars at their command to spend in Lawrence . . BUT WISELY! A recent survey* shows that 93 per cent of men's clothing bought during 1938 was purchased in stores which advertise regularly in the Daily Kansan. The official publication of the University of Kansas is the only medium which reaches ALL students, every day, with a medium of time and expense to the advertiser.
