THERE'S A POSSIBILITY
To say, as does a recent writer for the Review of Reviews, that the motor car industry stands as the only logical agent to lead the country out of the depression must seem decidedly paradoxical to those who insist automobiles got us into this mess in the first place. Why, people who don't even know where the next meal is coming from drive cars and spend the money they need for food on gasoline.
But on second thought, perhaps that periodical writer was not so far wrong after all. The practical possibilities of radio, sound film and allied industries have been rather definitely exhausted; and television, although a promising invention, is yet too infantile to be entrusted with the responsibility of guiding the world to prosperity. Even airplanes which are furnishing noticeable competition to the automobile in the field of transportation cannot be counted on to furnish the universal convenience of their rival.
The motor car industry stands ready and waiting; its factories are fully equipped, all that is needed is the impetus to set the wheels of industry in motion. It isn't quite possible, then, that if we were all to buy the auto that we've been needing or wanting the world could be restored to normal conditions? Perhaps.
OUR CONCERT PROGRAMS
A large crowd of students and Lawrence people attended the concert given in the University auditorium Friday evening by Sir Harry Lauder and his troupe. The program, a varied and entertaining one, was received by one of the most appreciative audiences at any concert or lecture feature this year.
The Harry Lauder program was a sample of the very unusual entertainment which the University has brought to students and townspeople during the past few years. The opportunity to see and hear some of these noted persons is one that every student should value and it is difficult to understand the lack of appreciation on the part of some students.
Numerous other programs of value are scheduled for the University during the spring term. If the University is to continue its policy of bringing noted pianists, violinists, lecturers and troupes here it must receive the support of the students to a much greater extent than it has recently.
"HEY. NONNY NONNY"
Some days ago, at the request of a reader, the University Daily Kansan carried an explanation of the origin and development of the phrase, "they nonny nonny and a hot cha cha." Yesterday we received a letter from one of our out-of-town readers in which she offers a new suggestion for the origin of this phrase.
Thomas Dekker, 1575-1641,
ends each verse of the poem,
"Content," with, "Then hey
nonny nonny-hey nonny nonny."
So, like most popular song tunes
and phrases it's old and borrowed.
OUR HOSPITALS
A recent report by the American Medical association reveals the fact that during the year of 1931, 110 hospitals closed their doors and many other hospitals were on the verge of financial collapse. In addition, the report revealed that the outstanding reason for this condition of our hospitals lies in the fact that fully thirty per cent of their services are to persons who cannot pay, and that, in addition, earnings have fallen off from fifteen to twenty per cent.
Everyone realizes the importance of excellent hospitals with the most modern facilities. It is an undeniable fact that the health of the nation is made up of the health of individuals. With such conclusions in mind and the present financial crisis to contend with, the end of which is not in sight, public aid for hospitals seems the only way out.
In the past, endowments have been a large source of income for many hospitals. This source has almost entirely been done away with. Various solutions have been proposed to support our medical institutions. Outstanding among these is the plan of charging each citizen a health fee of a very small amount. Perhaps this plan is too drastic; perhaps a more logical plan of public support for our hospitals will be found. At any rate our hospitals are a necessity and financial aid is necessary to keep them from deteriorating.
DEATH PENALTY FQR KANSAS?
The old question of capital punishment for Kansas has been brought into the limelight again.
Kansas abolished the exemption, except for treason, in 1907, but it has been more than a third of a century since any sentence of death has been given in the state. Bills to revive capital punishment were passed by the legislature two years ago but were vetoed by former Governor Harry H. Woodring.
The bill presented by Representative W. H. Reed provides for the installation of an electric chair at the Lansing penitentiary.
The presentation of this bill is not yet causing the anticipated excitement, the only enthusiastic supporter of the bill to date being Mr. Reed. When it comes time for the actual consideration of the bill, however, things will become more than lukewarm. As in the past, this question will be hotly debated—both by the legislators and the lobbyists.
OLD MAN CONSCIENCE
Perhaps University students have a conscience after all. For in what other way can we explain the strange reappearance of the Mel Snyder poster which disappeared from its place in the Administration building Thursday evening and was returned to the varsity dance manager the night of the Sophomore Hop?
The poster, an advertising scheme for the Sophomore Hop, was of large design and was in natural colors. The estimated value was approximately one hundred dollars. Because of its disappearance on Thursday the dance manager made a plea for its return at the class party Friday. When he returned to his room following the dance, the poster was there.
And thus another case of van-dalism becomes merely one of ignorance of value mixed with a desire for some excitement.
COEDUCATION
As a result of the above reasoning there was developed a system of coeducation. The success of that system is apparent.
As long as convention demands that men and women must live together, society should bend every effort to foster understanding between the sexes.
We find that college men and women of today get along better than do the graduates of exclusive schools. Figures on numbers

Marie Madie and her brother, Ray, showed their audience some new variations of roping stunts which were very well received. The children, especially, got a laugh out of Roy's lasso made from his chewing gum. Heleen Yorke, Helenine Yorke and Virginia Johnson, pleased the people with their classical music.
PERSONS INTERESTED IN TEACHING POSITIONS:

A continued daily acquaintance with any individual takes out most of the romance but leaves true appreciation.
Public libraries during the past year have experienced a great increase in demand for serious books—in some cases an increase of almost eighty per cent. at the same time, book appropriations for the largest libraries have been reduced about twenty per cent. The annual purchase of books, must, of course, bear some relation to the current demand, but when readers develop an interest in the problems of the day it is unfortunate that funds are too low adequately to supply them with the books they have discovered they need.

For more than two hours Friday night Harry Lauder made his audience forget their troubles and the depression with his genial, homely humor. The entire program was one of mirth and melody.
The Little Johns in their "Garden of Jewels" act presented some eccentric jugging stunts, and especially wortly flirting with a woman on tap dancing while balancing themselves on glittering balls. Major Joronze played several excellent xylophone solos and as an encore number played the zyxophone by the xylophone by the major himself.
And the famous little Scott comedian, Sir Harry Lauder, deserves much commendation for his excellent charm and wit. The best characterization was that of the school boy telling the adventures of himself and his pal, "Wwe Willie Thompson." Intermingled with this story was his song, "Safest 'i'll Family."
Dressed in the costume of his native country, Sir Harry sang one of the most popular of the old Scottish melodies, "Roamin' in the Gloomin'." At the request of one of the members of the audience for an Irish hush, Lauder and others recited the Claypaup. His first he demanded how an Irishman had gotten in the audience.
A co-operative sermon on "Inter-
vational Understanding and Appreciation" will be given at 7.50 p.m. C.

The applause of the audience called for several encore numbers and Sir Harry responded with "Wee House Maig m'g Heather," and concluded the program with "The End of the Road." The comedian-singer told his audience that they had been his inspiration, and he gave it a great time. "With your ripples of laughter you made it easy for me to present my program."

You've all heard and seen this particular type of pest—the fellow who sits in the grandstand and tells the coach and players how the game should be played. There's always one of them on the field, whether basketball, football, or baseball games.
The Campus Pest
--he prides himself on having that "rah, rah, college spirit." He yells viciously every time the play goes off. The play has a remark ready, such as, "What's the matter, boy, dead on your feet tonight?" And then again he remarks, "Now what they should have done was"—in other words, half hour explanation the correct play.
He doesn't pay any attention to the disgusted looks he gets from those who are sitting near him. Oh no, he thinks he's doing them a big favor. Aren't they getting the inside "dope" on the situation.
This college boy has probably never done anything more strenuous in his life than carry a notebook to class, but he surely knows his athleticity. Or my

Friends Believe Dog Has Queer Power of Reading Minds
Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 14—(UP) V. S. Van Ardsale is the owner of Jim, a 7-year-old dog, and so might be forgive for exaggerating a little in talking about Jim's prowess. But Dr. J. C. Flugm is a veterinarian to whom Jim is just another patient and who would probably be a believable stories which Van Ardsale tells.
And if Van ArSELde is right, Jim is a mind-reader of the first rank, and is, perhaps, the only dog in America capable of reading shorthand. Jim is an experienced assistant, and an attempt is being made to exhibit him at the world's fair in Chicago. Jim has never been trained as a trick dog, and for that reason his demonstrations are regarded by Van ArSELde as the most remarkable seen him as even more remarkable.
"Which of these three people drives a Ford" *Wan Ard麓dale* asked of Jim when he brought him to Fyrm's hospital to be treated for rheumatism. Without an instant's hesitation, Jim ran across the street in the group, and held up his paw. He can be directed to pick out a given make of a car from a line of automobiles at the curb and Van Ard麓dale says he is always right.
These and similar tricks have been performed by Jim so often that folks who know him have come to accept them as nothing unusual.
But one stunt in Jim's record stands out among all the stories of his abillies.
A woman living near West Plains, Mo., skeptical of the stories she had heard, was not at home when Van Arsdale and Jim arrived to keep an appointment. Instead she left a note giving him his information in an insharer. She asked Jim to point out a table which the woman's husband had made.
Van Airdab looked at the note. So did others in the party. None of them showed up. When the showi t to Jim, Jim walked straight to the table and placed one paw on it.
