Comment
Wanted: Quiet Room
Henry was perched atop the brontosaurus mournfully studying the Rooms to列 columns. He hated to leave Dyche. He'd been a ghost for a long time and done a lot of haunting, but he'd never enjoyed a place as he had Dyche. And as he read once more the news that the Kansas senate had passed a bill to appropriate money for rebuilding Dyche, he wailed and groomed as only a ghost can.
In an advertisement titled "The Great Inviator," the Metropolitan Life Insurance company touches that heretofore practically untouchable subject—syphilis. In this way it has joined in the campaign begun last year by the New York Daily News to bring this dread—but curable—plague, out from behind the cloud of whispers into the light of modern science.
Take heart, Henry. It's the nature of ghosts as well as human nature to be pessimistic. Henry's sure that masons and carpenters are going to disturb his ghostly peace and quiet, because that's the pessimistic view, for him. We also inclined to pessimism, feel that perhaps Henry is unduly worried. The bill isn't past the house yet. It passed the senate only after several hours of filibuster. Evidently some of the die-hard legislators don't believe in "spending our good money on a lot of consumed foolishness." Somebody might take a notion to leave Dyche off the list if there is much pressure to reduce the appropriations bill. Ain't no sense wastin' a lot of money on museums and such nonsense. Anyway, we got to keep the budget balanced, ain't we?
From a Veil of Shadows
Take heart, Heury. You have a pretty decent chance of spending several more peaceful years swishing about Dyche. No hard feelings though, we hope, if we wish you a speedy eviction.
All reputable doctors agree that, when brought to the attention of a competent, licensed physician in its early stages, this virulent infection can be cured. But the shame and social stigma attached to the disease send thousands of victims each year to charlatans and quacks who promise easy and rapid cure.
It is very encouraging to find such a solid and reputable organization as the Metropolitan Life Insurance company joining in the nation-wide campaign to publicize one of today's most stubborn medical problems. We hope the advertisement is only the first of a series.
Aid America!
"Chinese to Raise Fund for U. S. Flood Victims." So reads a headline in the New York Times. This is turning the tables with a yee-

gone! The gathering of money and supplies by Americans to alleviate the watery disasters which overtake the Chinese annually has become almost an institution with us. Few could have predicted the day when they would be doing the same for the United States.
Floods in China do not number their victims by the hundreds but by the hundred thousand. And after floods come famine. It would be interesting to know the average Chinaman's conception of a flood in this country. Doubtless, it would be colored by his own experiences. At any rate, it is a generous act by a country whose maxim might well have been "charity begins at home."
The Unworthy Cottonwood
The Kansas house of representatives has recommended the passage of an act to make the cottonwood the official tree of Kansas.
Probably none of the legislators who suggested this have ever had one growing in their own yards. It would be hard to find another tree with so many undesirable characteristics. After a midsummer storm, the front yard is littered with twigs and branches from this pusillanimous member of the flora family. That is, unless the whole trunk is lying across the front porch.
Then one fine day one steps out of doors into the midst of an apparent snow storm. When he has wiped the fuzz out of his eyes and from beneath his collar, he finds that it is nothing more nor less than the seeds of the cottonwood which are attached to bits of floss.
When the first frost comes, the grass is not discernable under the thick covering of mouse brown leaves, which are larger and more profuse than those from almost any other tree you might name.
In short, the cottonwood is the weed of the tree family. On second thought, perhaps the legislators had that in mind when they picked it. Possibly they wanted something that would go well with our State flower.
Campus Opinion
Free Publicity
Editor Daily Kansan:
Every time that a new issue of the Sour Owl come out the Kansas runs a story to the effect that this issue contains some "shameful" things, for example, in Wednesday's Kansas there appeared the following: "In a few hours Mt. Olread will be Blushing."
A new phrase is supposed to publish the truth and not distort the news. What, may I ask, is this? Every issue of the Sour Owl is just like the one preceding. It has the usual run of jokes and gossip about people who have something different and feature different people or else not advertise it in such a ridiculous mann*’ H.K.

This lineman is patching through an emergency telephone line to an isolated town.
TELEPHONE MEN STILL WORKING TO REPAIR ICE-WRECKED LINES
Second—Constructed at heavy cost several years ago, an underground long distance cable through the heart of the storm belt "carried on." It formed a hardened community of hardshell lines that could quickly be "patched through" to almost 100 isolated towns.
Yet they found, as they set about replacing 20,000 pairs and 18,000 pairs in the market that this year's disaster actually did less damage than the smaller ones.

San Moritz has nothing on the University of Kansas. We may not have a few of the more ornate trim-mings of that great winter sports center, such as chalets and ski-jumps, but it is safe to wager there is a greater variety of sliding devices in use here.
These things . . . improvements of the last 10 years . . . are a part of the Bell System's constant effort to protect against storm and disaster.
Repair crews, rushed into January sleet storm area, found miles of telephone line flattened by ice.
Snobbery Arises on Hill Sliding Places As Barrel-Stavers Cut Dish-Panners
Telephone men, still at work repairing damage from the $1,500,000 sheet which swept from the Iowa city of Cedar Rapids to remember no worse ice storm.
To those customers who were without service because of the storm, perhaps for several days, the company expresses its appreciation for their patience during a trying period.
Every conceivable object which could possibly be used for sliding purposes has been seized upon by ingenious students, including tin
First - Most telephone poles today are rosetoned yellow pine. They stand under ice that would snap poles used years ago.

ecoco-cola signs, barrel stairs, firewood dishes, dishpans, cardboard boxes, shoes soles, and what will want of a better word will politely be called the posterior. The use of the last mentioned has been largely accidental, but on the slippery ice it has proved to be almost as effective.
Anyone who has not had the opportunity of witnessing a husky coiled sliding down the side of a hill would be missed one of the liner wars of life.
The barrel stave trick is a good one if you can work it. It consists in planting both feet firmly on a hummock barrel stave, and balancing one selfwhom in the manner of a surf-board rider, ride it out to the bottom of the hill. Barrel-staves are the elite of Hill sliders.
Fire shovel riders also rank very highly, but not as highly as the barrel-staivers, who regard the former.

it is painful to relate, with a certain amount of content. They recognize, however, that shovel riding necessates some skill.
**THRIFTY ENTERTAINMENT**
—YES A WORD TO THE WISE IS SUPPLIER!
Perhaps the lowest class of alders are the dish-punners. They are cut dead by barrel-stainers and it is only with the greatest difficulty and under the most extreme conditions that are grounded to associate with them. Some effort has been made along this line but volunteer social workers report that the stigma is very great and it may be weeks before anything can be done. But that time the snow may be gone.
The whole situation seems rather hopeless. One young bear-sucker who went native and double-pinned her in a canine attack has with an exotic dish-wear has basely
excommunicated and socially ostracized by his group. Tolerance has been asked of all parties.
