"FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY"
The turn of events in history has given to few men the opportunity, or the task, if you will, that fell to the lot of George Washington. Not often has the terrific responsibility of guiding the destinies of an infant nation been placed so fully in the hands of a single leader.
In this respect it might be contended that chance and circumstance gave Washington his place in history. It might be said that his fame came to him only because he happened to be available when an emergency arose.
But the thing that we today respect and admire in George Washington is not so much what he did, as the manner in which he did it, the manner in which he proved himself capable of rising to each of the extremely difficult and trying situations that faced this country in its early days. We honor him today because we know that his ability, his character, and his qualities of leadership enabled him to make the most of the opportunity which presented itself, not only for himself but also for America.
TROUSER TROUBLE
Just when it seemed the world was settling back into a calmer routine, the women break out into another of their periodic "raches" and once more disturb the equanimity of man. Some years back it was close-cropped hair, and that masculine holy of holes, the barber shop, was no longer a refuge devoted solely to the wants of the male. Then some enterprising female discovered that smoking a cigarette was fun. The idea spread an extra package for the girl friend rapidly, and it wasn't long before was a necessary part of the equipment for a date. Finally when woman began to elbow man away from his accustomed place at the speak-easy bar the ordinary mortal thought that the epitome of the freedom of woman had arrived.
Then one fine morning the world awakened to find that one of the leading feminine lights of Hollywood had been seen in trousers. Now a quaking masculine populace is anxiously, warily waiting to see just how far the thing will go, and also is speculating a bit on what, if anything, there is, to do about it.
Some men take the stand that if women are to wear the trousers in the family they should be forced to bear the time-honored burdens that go with this now doubtful honor. They should be made to arise early in the morning and get down to the office so that the rest of the family may live. The husband will remain in bed until ten or eleven in the morning and then get up and prepare for an afternoon of bridge with the rest of the "boys." Perhaps he might even spend some time in purchasing a hat, not forgetting to send the bill to the wife. If he is a good housekeeper he will get back early enough in the evening to prepare a hasty dinner — the ingredients coming from the corner delicatessen. At dinner he will not neglect to entertain his mate with a detailed account of the boredom of being forced to spend his days about the house. This will be conclusive bliss par excellence.
IT MAY BE LOGICAL
Yesterday, by a vote of 289 to 121, the house of representatives approved a resolution favoring the repeal of the eighteen amendment. The world awaits the action that will be taken by the states on this resolution.
One of the strong points favoring repeal, as pointed out in controversies of the past, has been the fact that in spite of the amendment, people still get drunk, liquor is available to any one desiring it, and the law is not enforced. The dry followers must admit this to be true.
On the other hand, there is a law prohibiting one man from taking the life of another. Newspapers have printed stories of cold blooded murders so often that only the more "prominent killings" attract attention any more. Here is a law that is not enforced and yet we hear no cry of protest against it. No one raises any great cry demanding its repeal. No political party would be so foolish as to place a plank in its platform recommending abolition of this law against murder.
A PAIN IN THE NECK
But then, perhaps, that isn't so important or logical.
Don't lock the stable after the horse has been stolen! On the same principle, perhaps, don't complain about drafts in the library when winter is nearly over! But there were, no doubt, other horses after the abduction of the first, and there most certainly will be other winters.
The architect of Watson library must have been so concerned with the beauty of his subject that he overlooked the important problem of ventilation. Constant temperature is something unknown in this structure in which students spend a great part of their time.
In the periodical room, for instance, it is so close and warm that one needs no sandman to induce sleep. In the general reference room, the problem is greater and of concern to more people.
When it begins to get too warm for concentration, the windows are opened for rest. The chief is secured, all right, but attendant is a draft playing hide and seek around the back of the student neck. Someone sneezes, a lovely lass pulls her coat about her shoulders and shuddlers daintily—whereupon her escort obediently gets up to shut the window. And so it goes!
The next morning the lovely lass wakes up with the snifflies, and her escort has a crick in the neck.
Kanasa is known from coast to coast for its wind-swept plains, but an alternate wind-swept and stuffy library is another matter.
Send The Dally Kansan home
The recurrence of incidents such as this one should be a challenge to every American citizen to give the matter of capital punishment in this country serious consideration. So much has been said on the subject, and so little progress has been made, that to review the standard arguments against legalized murder would be almost useless.
A United Press dispatch from Rockford, Ill., brings the information that an 18-year-old boy has been sentenced to die in the electric chair next April.
It seems strange, however, that society is willing to admit its failure so soon. When a state declares that an 18-year-old boy, with by far the greater part of his life ahead of him, is hopeless beyond any influences that might make him a useful member of society, and arbitrarily condemns him to death for an anti-social act, quite surely the faith lies with the state. It is hard to believe that the most advanced civilization the world has known can find no better method than the electric chair of dealing with those who commit offenses against society.
QUIPS from other QUILLS

Education is a great thing. Those who haven't been to college haven't the nerve to try to borrow the other fellow's clothes—Baker Orange.

CHAPTER 15—Harry Welch, Ivy's brother. Harry was born a girl, and she agreed that he would be the best groom for whom she wanted to marry each other. Welch does not see him with either of them, but tells him she is married to Thayer. He tells him that Ivy will have to stay at home.
CRAFTER IV—Wetzelk, appointed to the position of associate attorney for the defence he received to ask TAYLOR RICHARDSON, and after his leaves, Corwin SCHNEIDER, and his co-defendants and their police chief, takes charge of the defense.
CHAPTER VI—Hijah intertwined with the day of the attack. Which is in what day of the attack, the day Thayer was given when he left Israel, and when he was sent to the land of living revenues, endowing him with his firm convictions better than any other man in the series of incarnations given by Thayer.

CHAPTER IX
The handle wrest of polished moth, whether nested or silver,耐寒不死. The blade, which was immensely burr and pernously keen was of the finest
Havney delicately to become interested. He and Reagan responded the weapon. It was a powerful delicate tool and beautiful as a polished snake.
At the moment it was not a pristine stair, however, for the stair itself was made of black glass and all it most to blackness. Hanley moved away, leaving the knife lying on the floor.
"I hate to look at anything like that John."
"Oh, b—! it isn't that, Jim. Not like to find something when I'm on a case which means I don't have any closer to look."
"I don't."
"You're hard-bellied."
"I see. . . . I reckon that's nut
urnt, John." Harvey placed his hand
behind his back.
"I thought you said there wasn't anything there."
"Didn't you look there day before yesterday?"
"On the floor of the hanging closet—in the corner."
"I did, Jim; but I suppose I overlooked it. Though I damned if I see how I did."
"Where'd you find that?"
Jim seemed disinclined to comment further, and Reagan did not force him. A matter of age, the chief of the security services said, "It's like you told Fisker, Jim—a dick can make a dozen mistakes provided just one time." The crook can't afford it.
Harvey shrugged. "These things can happen, all right. It's queer though. . . ."
"Yourself?"
"Nothing, . . . , I was just think ing."
Hanvey rummaged around in a dresser drawer until he found a collar He emptied it and then wried died. When the fire he returned with a roll of absorbent cotton, he lined the collar box with cotton and then gingerly placed the collar inside. It did not immediately look up. His clothes were fixed稳ently on the weapon.
"True enough, John. You sure don't get any argument out of me. But it is funny you didn't see that knife when you first looked in the chase."
"What?"
"Nothing"
"The handle of that knife, John—it's polished metal, and yet there isn't a fingerprint on it."
"Well, I'll be . . . durned if you
nin't right, Jim."
"Cinch. Max Vermon had enough sense to polish the prints off the handle."
"Funny," he said at length.
"I'll sure come then," Renjamin looked up sharply, but the face of the fat man told him nothing. "Do you think I'm wrong?"
"You sure think fast, John."
Ryan hated that one.
"Seeens like you must be right. It just looks kind of funny, though, that you didn't find that knife day before yesterday."
Romain was disturbed. He was certain that he had been shot in that identical bullet, and he had found no blood. His brain was ruined, and suddenly he was able to shoot.
"I've got it. Chief."
1
"What?"
"The answer to that knife, First, there's the off chance it was there all the time and I just didn't find it. There's no evidence of it." The second theory is that Max Version had it with him and when he came back yesterday evening from Steel City he demolished it in three before it was this room when I eremed him."
"Well ask him—that's one way of draining out. And in the second place, you can ask him to take a seat, this is—" Bogan stopped to the manuel and recovered a scimitar which bung there. "Notice how you can use it with your hands, but if you bring, Jim? Yonder is the place the dwarf was hanning—it fits that end and you can tell me a lot more time."
"It sounds mighty reasonable. Question is, are you sure it is Vernon's knife?"
"Mick are question about that. I sure don't look awful healthy for Miss Veron."
"It don't and I'm sorry. I believe the kid has gotten a bough deal all behind. This Tanner evidently wasn't shaken. He's been through it. It's a check that he must have been retrimming Vernon at cards, and we know that he was审诉胖男利 Tanner off of courses. Caramel thinks Thinks was a nice gentleman, but he would think that. As a number of facts, was a fool and we both burnt him."
"We sure do."
"But that don't shake Vernon's position any harder. He guards with Thoreau about a girl. We know that he wants to be pliant, plainly. We know that Vernon was so concerned for want of money. We know that he went to Thoreau's room and that shortly afterward Thoreau took the knife with which he was killed. We find it in Vernon's room and identify it positively—or will pry identity from him. If I need to mention location of weapons. We have every reason to believe that the kid won't punch him and took part in a bank robbery, probably made a deal with him that all he had to do was drive a car, murmuring no one would ever save him. He probably made a deal with large town, even if it were hitting safely on the road. If we were Serron we were put up in that because we knew that he was a thin dime before three hours, but now he buys a new car and pays the difference of twelve hundred dollars in cash. And I also know that he has done something that he did since I just under arrest."
Jim whispered, noltly, "It sort of nudges Mutter Vernon out to be a pretty touch hombre, John."
"he isn't that. I just think he went nuts."
Rogan was a trifle annoyed. It did not please him to have his damn burning summary greeted with even the slightest sentiment of skepticism.
"Masha so. . . . But he sure stayed crazy a long time."
"What's wrong with my case, Jim?" Harveyamed the hisbows in surprise. "Golly, John." I didn't say anything, did I?
"I can't help it if I look funny.
"I. A guy who has a face like a cestust plee and a shape like a gold鱼 is entitled to look funny, but that's."
"No. But you looked funny."
"Pretty near."
"What do you mean? Pretty new?"
"Well—" Hanna drew a long, naughty breath. "I sort of just happen to remember Larry Welch."
"But, no, accent rubber. You don't really think it was Mux Veron."
"Vernon and left the fraternity house before Welch got there, yet Welch said that he had a long talk with Thayer. Now it sown of seems to me, John's out if Thayer was in there, he would have noticed, wouldn't he?
"Yeh? What about him?"
"Hugh!" Beagan was crestfallen.
"I think Larry died."
"To shield Miss Peyton. He's goofy about her."
"You're right. . . . But then if he
gets hurt, into a nose or
to shield him, don't it be
he's got some mighty good reason—
that he will think for thinking
that kill her?"
"I know, Jim—but we've got Vernon down to rights. He's bound to have done it."
"Provided neither Larry Welch nor Miss Bryton did."
Reagan frowned, then broke into a disappointed laugh.
"You win, Jim. I kept running into
"I haven't had an idea in a month. They don't come to me swift, like they do to you."
"But you surely think something?"
"I do—true enough. And the first time I saw her, I barely tapped to anybody about this affair. Until 4 use some of the others."
"And after you do see them, you'll be absolutely bughouse. I know . . .
believe me. I do."
"I'll try, anyway."
"Who first? Vernon?"
"Nooo. I think I'll have a chat with Ivy Welch."
"It's rather a glamly affair all round," Mr. Hanvey, he said, "and I do house you to solve it."
Reagan conducted Harvey to the office of the dean in the main building, where he was awoken by a superintendent and appeared somewhat skeptical of the man's ability, but he was courted—and readily needed his guidance that jealousy Welb be summoned.
"Yes, sir." Jim was visibly aided by the atmosphere of education which pervoked the unaperturate office. "I would like you to understand what mean you by 'satisfactory'."
The dum snippet slightly, "My personal preference plays a prominent part in that, Mr. Hanvey, I should certainly hate to see either Mr Welch or Ms Peyton become any more deeply involved."
"I like the boy--make no mistake about that. But he doesn't seem to be of the same face quality as the other course, someone killed Thayer."
"Club-Hub, Dean. It sure seems so." The man's face was so heavy blank and his manner so soot, that the character seemed to be absorbed in intelligence. Just why a smart, alert person like Ragan should serve an unlikelike creature of Hanover's type was beyond the deaf's comprehension. He could scare the police very well answer.
The door opened and a figure of yield youth, entered the room. She wore a white sleeveless dress and a short, revealing skirt. The dean introduced her and then exonerated him. He insisted that they would not be interrupted.
While he bowed himself out, Ivy cried over the two detectives. She was scared to which she had been ashamed. Tremely—grit and hard—had included her.
"This Man Here"—She Jerked Her Bobbed Head Toward Reagan— "Is Absolutely Dumb."
murdered. There were dark circles under her eyes, to tell the story of betrayal, alienation, nightmares—and she had never seen any other. The deed had gone here addressed Harvey with enormous directness. “Are you in charge of this ___?”
"Are you in charge of this case now?"
"Yes, Miss Welch—I guess so."
"Yes, Miss Wendy—I guess so."
"Well, I'm glad. This men here—she just grab her bobbed head toward you and give her deeply drunk." "Is he really drunk?"
"Till my he is. Else why he would keep my brother in jail? Would anybody could talk to Larry and see that he isn't the kind who would kill anyone. That is, nobody but a cap?" Harvey turned gravely to the corn
"You see what the public thinks about you, John. And seeing that we don't need any said coarse around here we talk to this young girl alone?"
"Very well." Reagan rose, without resentment, and started for the door. He was met by the woman, not a tenees. "Just had a bunch I could do more with her alone. John. Suppose you make this knife down to the bottom and Version 1 he'a ever seen it before."
"And then?"
"Come back and come in. I got a laugh she and I will be pretty good babbles by then."
