Two More Persons Learned in Time
Two more students have discovered before it was too late that they were infected with syphilis.
This raises the total to four positive reactions reported by the Watkins Memorial hospital from the twelve hundred odd tests they have given since Dec. 15, when equipment was installed and the tests were begun.
Strangely enough, student response to the test has not been what it should be. It was hoped that by this time two thousand would have taken the test instead of twelve hundred. At Kansas State College where the test is given on a voluntary basis, as here, where the enrollment is less, and where a fee of 25 cents a test is charged, sixteen hundred have taken the test.
A few weeks of school are all that remain Four students who believed, by their own admission, that they were not infected, have learned to their eternal benefit that they were wrong.
In a little more than a month, more than a thousand students, most of whom have never had a Wassermann test, will march down the Hill in the final act of their college careers.
High hopes for the future will rise on the evening air with the strains of the Crimson and the Blue, played for the last time in their undergraduate days. In a thousand minds will be no thought of syphilis.
But, if the prevailing statistics in the University run true to form, either three or four of the thousand young men and women assembled there, will have this infection harbored in their bodies, a menace to their future lives and happiness.
All because they were careless, and because they knew they couldn't be infected.
Spring Fever Not Laziness?
Spring fever is not mere laziness, according to Prof. Henry C. Bazett of the University of Pennsylvania. He explains the process with the theory that an individual's blood volume increases in spring by a fifth or even a third. To prove his point, Doctor Bazett enclosed himself in an air-conditioned laboratory for 12 days last winter. Within the laboratory the temperature was 90 degrees; outside it was cold. So he felt the symptoms of spring fever—laziness and a generally confused mental outlook. After 10 days he began to get more comfortable because his blood had now increased by two pints, helping to cool him internally.
This bodily heating up may account for the deaths of many persons who hurry south in the winter and for those who die just as spring approaches.
Many people still take sulphur and molasses to thin their blood in the spring. Although out of date and looked down upon by people in general, Doctor Bazett suggests that such dosage might prove helpful in reducing that lazy spring fever.
Reflectors Make Night Driving Safer
Night driving promises to become a popular pastime in the near future.
Highways today may be clearly outlined a mile ahead on a straightway by thousands of tiny reflectors on special fences along the roads, illuminating curves, dips, and bumps, and warning for caution—with light borrowed from automobile headlights. Arranged on posts about 100 feet apart and about 3 feet above the ground, the "lighted fence" when broken warns the motorist of objects in the road which are blotting out the light.
The Michigan state highway department is already lighting 70 miles of pavement between Lansing and Detroit in this unique fashion. For it, according to the Christian Science Monitor, officials claim less driving fatigue and greater safety in night driving.
Reflector highways are a step toward making night driving as popular and as safe as daytime motoring.

In Case You Misinterpreted
the description of the World War "as a great and holy war to preserve civilization." Fearing that this statement, removed from its proper context, might convey the wrowe impression of my belief, I wish to point out that I was attempting to describe the belief of the World War times. I personally do not, nor will I ever believe that the World War was holy or that it in any sense could have saved civilization.

Better Bands for Class Parties
Editor, Daily Kansas:
I wish to take this opportunity to express my utter disgust at the poorest excuse for a dance that I have ever had the misfortune to attend. By now you probably know I'm referring to the school where we went, which as the Senior Cakewalk. If a school the size of this one is so dared afraid they lost a nickel by importing a real name land, I think it's high time we either quit having class parties or have our own Hill orchestra to play
Blackburn's and Kuhl's orchestras surpass that motley crowd of broken down horns toors so far in their development. "The music of Meeker's was a 'nune' music, so the dance manager says, of a name it is I don't know, but he says, it's not."
A question which has puzzled me all year is why can we have good class parties one year and such putrid ones the next? The answer probably is that we had not been able to do it we did last year. John Paul was evidently a bit chocose about the orchestra he signed up but Kühne seems to be satisfied by anything that is available. He and the business office offer him free lunch, but let no one hear any velling about going broke on last year's class jarties.
If the dance manager next "wear starts bringing in" "name" bands like we've bad this year, the students should refuse to attend the varty. About one such boycott should thoroughly increase upon appeal, but that they should feed off with such tributes as we have been forced to dance at to this year's class parties. A Senior Cakewalker,

THE GREAT OPEN SPACES
We are headed for the open... Open spaces where fresh air and sunshine put roses in our cheeks. Open diplomacy that substitutes frankness for secret scheming and negotiation. Open opportunities, open doors in business... And modern business in general conducted in an honest and open manner.
No force has been as powerful as advertising, in bringing American business into the open. A manufacturer who advertises, issues an open challenge to every competitor to produce better goods if he can. He invites the public to compare his article with all others. He makes definite claims for his product over his own signature. And he knows the vital importance of keeping his promises.
Advertising tells you where you can get the greatest value for your money. When you buy an advertised article, you know it is dependable. An unknown product means nothing. Advertising prohibits the worthless, and promotes the good.
Advertisements appearing in the KANSAN are the daily record of business progress, the report to you of the manufacturers and merchants who serve you. It will pay you to read them.
