Editorial Comment
Recovery?
This week many college fraternities and other organizations were fortunate, or unfortunate as the case might be, enough to get one of the first printed blasts from the Republican National committee in the form of a magazine entitled the "Trumpeter." The magazine is certainly no work of journalistic art but it suffices to point out certain things about the Democratic administration which cannot well be overlooked, even after the political taint has been removed.
What have we received for our five billion dollars? A pureblood Democrat might mention something about business recovery although the Republicans might say the Supreme Court was responsible. Certain recovery indices are higher, but is it possible to speak of recovery when we still have almost thirteen million unemployed?
A man died of gunshot wounds in Chicago the other day, the only clue to his slayer being, "Santa Claus shot me." The new tax bill before Congress helps corroborate this evidence.

Be A Beauty Queen!
There was a time in the not too distant past when to be selected as a beauty queen at K. U. was considered about the highest honor a co-ed could attain. So popular has the selection of beauty queens become, however, that there is now a "queen" chosen for just about every known occasion, and, unfortunately, the list steadily grows year by year. Formerly, when a girl was pointed out as being a beauty queen, "oh's" and "ah's" were the reward. Now, the query, "Which one?" is the logical remark.
Besides fifteen beauty queens for each class per year in the Jayhawker, similar honors are awarded by the Sour Owl, On the Shin, and special events such as Homecoming, The Kansas Relays, and others. So far, the Activity Book, Student Directory, "K" Book, and the various departments in the College have not joined the ranks, but unless something is done, no doubt they too will make their selections in the future.
The acclaiming of beauty is an age old institution dating back to ancient Grecian and Roman periods and undoubtedly should be continued, at least on a limited scale. But with so many "beauties" from K. U., one is apt to get the impression that none but the fair attend this institution of higher learning. Perhaps it does have the advantage, however, of encouraging a growing enrollment through the offer, "Come to K. U. and be a beauty queen!"

The League's Problem
Apparently not satisfied with establishing an Empire, conquering Ethiopia, and all but making a total wreck of a totting League of Nations, Benito Mussolini's newest undertaking concerns his giving England added worries in regard to Egypt. From all indications, II Duce has placed the League of Nations in a rather tough spot.
Realizing, no doubt, that the majority of the nations of the world want anything but a recurrence of the Great War, Mussolini has literally billed his merry way toward a new Roman Empire while the League stands helpless. If it protests his actions, it means the possibility of another dreaded war; if it doesn't protest, it means his unchecked annexing of more and more territory. The League of Nations' whole future rests on what they can do to check Mussolini without using war to accomplish the feat.
Guided by the Fascist policy that places country above all, Mussolini, judging from his Ethiopian campaign, apparently has no scruples against having his fellow countrymen shuttered in war. In fact, through every conceivable means, Italian women are encouraged to increase the birth rate, thus in turn increasing the man-power. So he has no apparent war-fears.
The nations of the world have a real problem to solve in Mussolini. So far, he has the upper hand by holding a war menace over the rest of the world. Just how he can be stopped remains to be seen. The peace of the world rests in the balance.
John Public
Yes, John Public, you—as well as the lovers of nature—will find a store house of fascinating and wonderful things in Dyche Museum of Natural History when it is reopened. Your knowledge and understanding of nature will be greatly improved after you have seen the numerous exhibits.
On the main floor, you will see a vast panorama of present-day mammals — complete mounted specimens of all of the larger mammals of North America. Each animal will be displayed in his natural habitat. Turning to your left of the main entrance, you will see the animals of the East or New England states; and on going around the mountain region, you will see the mountain region, Canada and the Arctic.
By the way, Mr. Public, have you ever seen a Rocky Mountain goat? A specimen of the goat will be exhibited in the panorama. You will see the actual mounted specimens of mammals you have heard of, read about, and seen pictures of. The panorama alone will be worth anyone's time to visit the Museum.
When you see the exhibits of vertebrate paleontology, you will see skeletons of animals that lived on the earth millions of years before man. You will see the evidence on which paleontologists claim that man lived in Kansas over 20,000 years ago—an arrowpoint which was once imbedded in rock, beneath the shoulder blade of an extinct specie of bison. You will see skeletons of birds that possessed teeth, taken from the chalk layers of this state.
You will see the first complete mounted skeleton of a fossil rhinoceros and a dinosaur skull, which is six feet long and has three big horns. In connection with these displays you will see dioramas, realistic scenes of pre-historic plant and animal life.
On the top floor, will be mounted specimens of birds that visit your own backyards. You will see 56 groups of birds — in each group the actual mounted specimens, male and female with a nest and eggs or young.
Now, Mr. Pubble, you ask when you can visit the Museum. When the state appropriates the necessary expense money or the gifts—large and small—total $47,000.

Sit Back and Wait
Once upon a time there was a year when the Republican were all powerful in national political circles. And then that famous day in October, 1929, forced its ugly visage on the horizon resulting in a Democratic landslide for practically every important political office in the following election. But here in Kansas things were going along in a manner very much unforeseen by the Democratic powers that were.
There was a little man, a graduate of the University of Kansas law school and unheralded in the scene of national politics, who was causing a great deal of trouble for the state Democratic forces. For in that year Alfred Mossman Landon proceeded to win the race for the gubernatorial chair. But after winning that office he didn't back to rest on his laurels but proceeded to tackle his job with a combination of ability and political good sense to start Kansas securely on the way back.
Again in 1934, another Democratic year, this quiet Kansas personage won the governorship for another term. Due to a balanced budget and a repetition of good election policies the name of Alf M. Landon began to make the rounds of the Republican inner circles. Here was a man who rated some attention. Here was somebody who evidently attracted the people to him by some good means. Perhaps he was the man they were looking for to dethrone Franklin D. Roosevelt. And so the powers that be began to get behind this little man. His name was mentioned more and more and now in May of 1936 that man looms as the outstanding candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.
To hear him talk of his success is no inspiration for he merely says, "We just sat back and waited until it all happened." And it has all happened. Here is a man who has made no enemies. He has a good record in all the work he has done and what is more he has a strong organization behind him. Here is a man to be feared by the other candidates when it comes to a showdown next month. Just a little man who has seemingly made good in an extremely big way.
The thing to do now is to sit back and wait for it all to happen next month. There isn't any doubt in the minds of many.
New Criminal Argot Patterned After Australian 'Mother Goose' Rhymes
San Diego, Calif. —(UP)—American criminal slang is to be giving way to a newly imported argot from Australia, say observers on the West Coast. The lifting "Mother Goose" quality of slang "shag has made its influence felt."
In less than two years, it seems the crook has tossed aside his time-honored lion for a cant whose sing-song apples was designed to mystify the Bottles and Stoppers—the Fuzz in his former tongue, the police in King's English.
About two years ago the first invasion of the Pacific Coast began. Then, from all the record available, the new language appeared in San Francisco. It spread rapidly up and down the state, to the Northwest, and into the Middle-West.
And from there? What if it should invade colleate circles? Gangsters of the bootleg era left their stamp upon the villains.
Going to College
A Fiddle and Flute is merely a suit; a Lean and Fat a hat, a Dinky Dirt shirt, an East and West a vest. One Oceans has a suit, and One Oceans nothing got sat.
But theroin lies what captivated the criminal. Stark originally was the cent of thieves, of beggars, of gryphs. Then he adopted by the vagrant and the literate.
Little rimes always have appealed to the mind which is untroubled by knowledge.
**Years Are Mine!** They are mute young language, which he defines to use because it seems so exclusive, his head is aptly termed a *Lomp' o' Lade*. His eyes are Mice Pies, his nose is I Suppose his face a Chip and Chase. If he grew whishers, they would be Brothers and sisters. His mistrust, a Whip and Lash.
If he's burying, his stomach is his Darby Kelly. And the rest of him? Well, his arms are his Chalk Furniture, his hands are his Chalk Furniture, a low finger, Lega and Langer.
Why? The crook doesn't know. It just sounds good and it rimes. At night his rest isn't sleep. He Plow the Deep.
I strongly suspect a national organization is at the bottom of this white shoe persecution. It probably is backed liberally by white鞋 manufacturers and the makers of this white stuff that is supposed to life the face of oxford's shoes. But if it happens, however, for I haven't been able to discover a thing about it except the trail of wreck and ruin left behind it. Dance is perhaps the most fertile

Yesterday we received a letter from a disgruntled student who feels that fate and circumstances have combined to make his life miserable. Since the situation faced by this student is not known by his observations, Dear Mr. Editor;
But came the spring and white shoes. Now I can't take a step in any direction without placing those sacred sandals under the filthy soils of some other person's shoes and always the immaculate surface of my bluchers come out of the scrape bearing long, indelible streaks of black.
Noah's Ark is a snark. When a crook is On the Joe Growl, he's on the prowl—he is engaged in burglary.
All winter long I wore black and brown shoes and boots and sailed safely and untrapped through the thick hulls and traffic. In boot that magnified the size of my feet three-fourths of their navigate without trapping or scuffing.
While the American slang of generations has been modernized with many new phrases it is rare indeed that the definitions rime with the idioms. Perhaps that explains why it is being discarded in favor of the newer cant.
