Published in the afternoon, five times a week and on Sunday morning, by students in the Department of Journalism of the University of Georgia, at the Faculty of the Department of Journalism.
Subscription prices, $4.00 per year, payable in advance. Single enquiry, in each. Entered as second-class matter September 17, 1910, at the office at lawrence, Kansas.
CAMPUS COURTESY
The other day a truck load of supplies was delivered at a University building. Just as the truck driver brought his machine to a stop, he was greeted by a student authority, bursting with the information that the driver had found the wrong building, the wrong entrance, the wrong driveway—everything in fact except the wrong campus! The information, possibly meant to be helpful, was delivered in terms which splintered the spring air, and shook the foundation of Mount Oread.
Contrasted with his is the report of a second semester freshman who maintains that the first thing which impressed him with the campus was the courtesy of everyone, in authority and otherwise. Enrollment difficulties, directions to buildings, help in finding a room - all these and other matters were settled with smoothness and dispatch by the strangers this freshman met on the campus.
THE STUDENT AND HIS READING
It is up to each student to put the campus on the map as a place where strangers are treated like human beings. Every freshman, every janitor, every instructor and every laborer represents the University to the stranger.
So the next time somebody asks you the way to West Ad or the location of Haworth hall, swallow your pet grouch, if any, and dig up a little campus courtesy.
Pages and pages, volumes upon volumes. There is no end to the length of reading assignments in the library. Far back in the stacks the librarians dig out copies of this treatis and that review to place on reserve.
The conscientious student is so completely swamped in required work that he doesn't have time to read those things which are really of beneficial interest to him. It seems useless to spend so much time reading things which will be remembered only for a short time.
The immediate value of reading so extensively on subjects which are not concomitant to the student's major interest may assume a pseudo-worthlessness when compared to reading on subjects of primary importance. Some consolation may be had from Professor R. D. O'Leary's statement last week that regardless of the fact that no person will ever remember half of what he has read, he will have benefited by reading it.
Professor O'Leary understands the student's reading problem and has given many students in his classes an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the library facilities by his system of "browsing." The compulsion that so often accompanies any required work, is done away with, and the student reads not to cover pages but to gain what he can from the material.
It is reading with this attitude of mind that is of supreme benefit to the student, and other courses might benefit if the assignments were not based on the number of pages but on mastery of the material.
BESIDE THE POINT
An amusing incident occurred yesterday at one of the local churches when the minister called upon the chairman of the budget committee to address the congregation. After explaining that the fiscal year would be in a month and that the church would be sadly in need of funds at that time, he launched into his antimistic speech.
"Right now things look rathe dark," he began, looking out the window at the suilen skies. "Bu in a month we shall have confidence restored, we shall be in bet ter spirits, and shall feel more like digging into our pockets to help the cause."
He stopped for breath, and beamed at the congregation before resuming his plea. "Then we hope that everyone will contribute because spring will be here, the skies will be brighter, and if looks as though we will have beer—" He stopped abruptly, suddenly sensing from the startled faces of the church elders before him that he had said the wrong thing.
He squirmed unlessly as he felt the stern glare of the minister behind him. Clearing his throat, he added hastily, "But that will have nothing to do with the finances."
LIFE AND LIFE
College women must be emancipated. They are not so much subject to worn-out customs and domineering male rule as some critics avert, however, but they are slaves of their own selves.
The women students, sorority and otherwise, devote entirely too much time to assuming either a sophisticated or a pseudo-intelligent attitude. Happiness, more social prominence and a feeling of freedom would come rapidly if the feminine book carrier would drop some of her hypocritical gestures and just act natural.
Acting natural holds distinct advantages. One can pass easily from one situation to another without dropping the false make-up and assuming another to meet the environment. The woman student who acts at college as she acts at home will advance more quickly and easily through the stages of
life than if she tries to be herself one place and a looking glass self at another place.
Try being natural. It will be a worthwhile experiment. Why not give it a week's trial? If at the end of that time the woman feels she is not satisfied to be herself, let her return to her state of sophistication or what has she!
TACT AND APPLESAUCE
Students who are adept at apple polishing are getting the best training in the University. Even though fellow students condemn them, the applepolishers are really the clever ones. They should practice the art not only on instructors, but also on the students, the townpeople, and everyone they meet.
For applepollish is just a slang word for tacet. And when a person is graduated from the University he needs to know how to use tacet. If he "lands" a job there is no doubt that he will get it through pull and tacet. If he has plenty of pull, he will need tact to hold the job. If he has just a little pull, tacet will make up for the lack of pull. But if he has neither tacor nor pull, the job won't be his.
Men and women are sent to school with the supposition that they will learn how to meet people—in other words, how to use tact—and those who applepolish are those who get the most out of college. You may condemn applepolishing, but if you do, you condemn fact.
Campus Opinion
I, at the swanhead of my career, salute J.LS., at the aundown of his career. Ugh! And I hereby feel obligated to toss a literary orchard at his tender head. After four years at the University, J.LS discovered himself to be a competent political critic. Following the same theory, a bank劫 after four, forty years of service should become a finance expert.

Editor Daily Kansan:
Why must the managing editor make the Daily Kansas the outlet for his athletic complex? An occurrence of two weeks ago might have been amusing were it not for the fact that the camp had a preoccupation with true appraisals of new value (at least, no one has publicly voiced his disapproval). I am referring to the full page, streamer headlines announcing the Kansas-Oklahoma game—and to the news in the next issue announcing the inauguration of the nation's president.
That policy has been continued since. That we have athletes of whom we are justly proud, no one will deny but I dislike the inference that K. U. is to be known throughout the nation solely by the prowess of her athletes.
but know his answer to this. True student will read such tape. If that it true, give him the problem on our hands in which the "Official Student Publication" should be very largely concerned. I wonder if it ever occurred to you that one office of such a publication might be that of molding student thought. Do you know, for instance, of a certain com-posed science, of the fact that the number of K. U. graduates on that list is second only to the number from Harvard? Or, to bring litnearer home, do you know of a recent speech by a K. U. senior, a speech which a man who has long been associated with your department may most significant statement which he had heard in a student generation? Such things might well receive some of your attention—and some space in the

A Lost Trail
"Some man—that!" said L兰德
prefensively, after Starburst and gone.
"What do you think of the glimpse
he gave us of Canby's record?"
"What I think will be embodied in a wire tip to dad. Don't you want to
wire your roos—just to let them know you are still on earth?"
"I will, now that we seem to have landed somewhere."
After they had sent their respective messages, they set out on a tour of the city. They crossed the river of the Fleetwelling Eight and its passengers, taking the entire afternoon for it. It was an afternoon wasted, leaving Leopold in a state of leaving Copah, had vanished as completely as if the earth had opened and swallowed them. And not only the leaves, but the flowers.
In the round of inquiry only one circumstance developed which might have some bearing upon the mystery. This was in the public garage where Mr. Fleetwright worked. When they questioned the proprietor about the Fleetwright, he said he had put up only one car that had come from the east at morning, namely, Candy's linnosine.兰珊 made it be the time of the linnosine's arrival.
"Why, yes," was the reply, "it was just about five o'clock."
"More mystery," said Landis, as they left the place. "You remember what the hotel clerk said this morning when she called said which was a little after five o'clock?"
"Don't know as I do. I was pretty tired and sleepy."
"You asked him if he had anybody else from the east and he said, "Yes, a party of three—come in a couple of three," and told us what the three people were."
"I see now what you are getting at. That leaves two hours unaccounted or between the time Canaley reached Brewer and the time he put his car in the garage. Questions: can we find what he did in those two hours?"
"That's it. If we can, I have a notion that we shall find out what has become of the Firewiring bunch."
Returning to the hotel, they were fairly agreed that the only remaining chance of tracing the missing three was through a conversation with them had been conclusively proved. Morkham went up to shave, and then he said to have his card sent up to the Lawyers.
"The professor and his daughter checked out this foreword," was the information given him. "They have always been on the same side, Mr. Stillings came after them."
"Did Mr. Canby go with them?"
"Oh, no he still is with us."
As Landis was turning away he came face to face with Starbuck.
"I was hoping I might run across one or both of you," said the mine owner, hospitally. "Whereabouts is Walter?"
"He has gone up to shave; he said he was too sleepy to do it when we came in this morning. Small we hunt people of chairs and wait for him?"
When they found chairs, Starbuck said, "I've just been reading in the book about me," he added by the bendies—at the Climacol mule, over on the other side of the range. Maybe you heard of it as you came in by the Leo Horse Pass road.
"No; we come the other way—by the mine. We got there pretty soon after the fact."
"Did you see Broughton?"
"Yes. We'd met him earlier. He was down at the railroad station with a truck and an armed guard, waiting for us to come in. When we stopped to ask our way,"
"The paper says there's a mystery; that there was a gun fight in which the two commissary guards were killed, and that nobody in the camp hid or fled or the explosion that wrecked the site and the building. Is that so?"
"It is what Mr. Brounton told us," it can't be said that. "was Starbucks' headquarters; been there any number of times. The commissary site isn't much over a hundred yards from the front entrance, and I believe that nobody heard the ruckus."
"Why—what do you mean by thine, Lands realized that he had said something about the moment he no way out but by a relation of the black-box facts. And it was only the incredulity of the other actors in a comparative stranger, that made him say, "Within a short time Wally and I have known of three other bank robbers exactly the same way; by dynamism exactly the same way; by dynamism that nobody heard. The general belief seems to be that some new and also absurd explosive has been discovered."
Lands was surprised into saying,
"It would have been not only unbelievable, but impossible, a few weeks ago, Mr. Starback."
"Pretty hard to make an old mining man swallow anything like that, Starburst smiled. "Where were these bank robberies?"
"One in Indiana, one In Illinois, and the third In Missouri."
Within the past weeks
"Any clew to the robbers"
Before Landis could reply, Markham stopped out of a doorway and walked toward Keen as was his admiration for Starlock, he was not quite ready to tell her the truth. He asked Wally Markham, held the only cowl that might lead to the identification
"We've been talking about this ruckle over at Stann Brennings on mine. Mr. Landis tells me you just missed being in the thick of it."
"I was hoping we might eart with you, Cousin William," said Markham. Then, "Been digging into Owen a bit to find out what he is made of"
"We did. Shall we go in to dinner?"
As was most natural, the table talk centered upon the crime of the night
norce, and the mystery which seemed to be the chief feature of it. But there was another thing, three men who had so unaccountably disappeared somewhere on the east side.
It was after coffee had been served that Landis gave a man rise from his seat at a table on the other side of the room and come across in their disarray to greet her. The man as Carly until the promoter was beside her, and saying, "Well, well! See who's here! Betty was telling me last night that you two were in Copah, but she didn't say anything about your coming on to Brewery."
The three who were finishing their dinner reacted to the intrusion, each Starbuck modelled, said, "How!" we wend on skipping his coffee. Markham bridged the chair, gating easily for a moment or two with the intruder, accustomed to vacation runways from the home town, with no particular object in view, and expressing, in his turn, surprise away from the Cartagine promotion scheme, even for the pleasure of a motor trip in such good company as the professor and his pretty daughter, the promoter langed and said, "Good company is right. But it so happened that I could combine business with pleasure. As you will tellify, Mr. Starbucks is in the Timelycon, in the Quaynpat."
"Um," said the elderly mine owner,
"thought TJute take a few days off and
come along." Canby went on gibble; due
to the two Carinthians, "We'll have
to get together and do a bit of sight-
sure we use the Timianyin is worth it."
As Canby returned to his table, Star bucked close one eye slowly and said, "Did you two young fellows follow that crook out here?"
Markham answered truthfully, "No; we are both inclined to think it was an illusion. I asked him to lowe us. Anyhow, he was behind us for a good part of the way. And when I asked him, he said there was a false. He knew, three days ago, that we were blinded this day."
Silence for a minute, and then Starbuck spoke again.
"Tell me, Walter, have you got anything on Canby?"
"No; but now he is he, and were here, well try to keep cause on him, if we can," she said. "Some of our good friends in the home town. As I told you, he is trying to get his job, but he is engineer here last summer, with—do my father thinks—just as about us."
"In that case—just a word to the wafer, Walle. Slip a nail in your jeans if you you're going to keep tab on that roster. There were some queer characters in that deal with the bauxite mine deal that never did get out into daylight."
That night, as they were returning to the hotel after an evening spent with Starkbuck in the all-but-desert mansion in the mean suburb, Landis said. "Your cousin gives Candy a gift that we've given one we have given him back in the past," he hurts me savagely when I think of the hold he's got upon Diety."
"Oh, I don't know." Markham was beginning; but before he could enlarge upon whatever doubt he had in mind, there were other thoughts to think of. They had turned a corner, when the street crossed across the street in their room. They could face about, Lampsil was staggering from a blow on the head, and
"Sandbagged—knocked the sense out of me for a minute. What did they do to you?"
Markham Was Doing His Best, aes,
Skillful Amateur Boxer, to Keep
From Sharing His Companion's
Fate.
Markham was doing his best as a skillful amateur boxer to keep from sharing his companion's fate.
Fortunately the best was fairly good. A jab to the solar plexus sent one of the assailants grooming, in the gutter, and another. But the third man hit Markham's guard arm a paralyzing blow with some heavy weapon and was swinging for a second when help came. The assaulter turned the corner. "Hey—officer!" Markham shot. As the policeman came on, the run, the two who were there, disappeared and the third man scrambled to his feet so polled before the officer could come.
"Now then—what's all this?" demanded the majesty of the law. "Was them fellies try to' hold ye up? Which way did they go?"
"Down that alley," and as the patrolman gave chase, Markham turned to Landis, who was holding his head in his hands.
"Nothing much. Can you navigate?" "I can walk all right, Sudden, wasn't it? What are they? Stick-up men?"
"Bad hurt. Owen?"
"I'm wondering. There was no 'noble' about it. They acted more like a slave and had his knife out. There it is now, in the gutter," and he stopped and picked up a vicious weapon with an eight-inch blade and a bone handle.
It was plainly of foreign manufacture, and on the smooth bone handle was carved a Spanish word which neither of them could translate.
In their rooms at the hotel they took account of their casualties. They were not serious. Then they examined the knife Wally had picked up.
