THE RESPITE
It won't be long now! Just four more days and the long awaited Christmas vacation will be a reality instead of a hazy dream to anticipate while cat-napping in class.
And what a relief it will be. No classes, no droning professors, no quizzes, no getting up for 8:39 lectures—it's a grand feeling to realize that for two whole weeks these bothersome items in a student's life can be completely forgotten without dire consequences. Then will come a glorious fortnight of luxurious mornings in bed, late hours at night without the face of awaleming, dead tired, to face a "shotgun," good food and plenty of it, dad's car, and immumerable other little things that make one wish that University life was a succession of vacations.
Christmas vacation! These are words to conjure with—the symbol of an oasis in the desert of an academic year—a brief respite before the agony of finals. Days provided by a benign providence for the exclusive use of soul woey students throughout the land.
Believe it or not, just four more days! Then two weeks of curefree happiness and relaxation unmarried by the grim specter of final exams lurking in the haze of the future.
MOST KISSABLE LIPS
But why bring that up?
So they aren't going to have the "most kissable lips" contest after all! Unfavorable public opinion ruled out the contest, which was to have been held at the University of South Dakota.
What a shame! Think what the universe is missing. Not only would one be able to discover the most perfect and the most kissable lips in the country, but such a competition would also encourage complete and careful use of the lipstick.
A race of this kind would encourage national competition along this line, and the whole country would benefit. It might even solve the unemployment problem with men starving wives and children could be put to work judging the contests.
At any rate, the move to institute such a race was a splendid effort on the part of students at South Dakota University. They have dealt with the problem in the face of public opinion. Perhaps, though, they will try again, with more success.
In the meantime, we can strive towards a more perfect cupid's bow.
HONESTY
A Missouri woman recently wrote to the postoffice department of the United States and confessed to an atrocious federal crime. She admitted that years ago when she was a mere child at her grand-mother's, she had used two two-cent stamps which had already carried letters but which had not been cancelled. She added that God had held that act before her and that she felt duty-bound to
Federal Radio Commission Foresees World Scramble for Wave Lengths
Washington, Dec. 14 — (UP) — The traffic confluence in the ether—where radio telegram and telephone, telecom and impractical to assign more than 90 frequencies to the 612 U.S. broadening service port of the Federal Radio Commission.
Adding to the commission's problem it reports, is the necessity for international agreement on frequency allowance. It is now used more than its share
At the next conferences, to be held in 1932, there is expected an international conference on food security even greater international consideration, or even to retain its hold on the hon's share, the United States, through the efforts of other countries in best possible use of the present facilities. For that and other reasons, the application must be as crisely difficult to secure permission to broaden. The applicant must also prove ability to meet it.
mission's order that all stations have equipment that would limit station interference.
During the year the total number of broadcasting stations was reduced by nine, leaving eight of the stations authorized and 20 deleted. Of the 20 stations on the air, eight were consolidated, two were decommissioned, and 10 were denied central. Of the 612 active stations, 420 now operate simultaneously at night up to 80 fire-resistant.

Police radio also has added to the other congestion, but, writes the commission, this development has proved more difficult of crime that it is well worth while.
Rapid progress in the field of television was reported, but as yet it has not recognized commercial television. The radio traffic problem has been increased by the year by the increase of aviation broadcasts, the commissioners declare.

DOROTHY CHARTER
Such honesty should be rewarded and this virtuous lady should be set upon a high pedestal there to inspire our youth to emulation. That noble person must have suffered terrific pangs of self damnation throughout her life and the memories of "her past" must have made her recoil under the accusement of the drug-store clerk as he handed her a two-center.
We wish our honest nature would come forth and cause us to write to Farmer Jones about the watermelons we swiped when he wasn't looking. But, maybe before we lie in our death bed, God will command us too to confess to Ma that it really was we who knocked over the jam in the pantry that time.

Our Contemporaries
From Iowa Wesleyan News:
THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
The presidential campaign for next summer and autumn should prove to be a critical time for the Republican on the platform of free and unlimited coinage of silver. For ten years the Republican party has monopolized the currency and executive positions. However, it seems not at all unlikely that this hold true in the coming months as victories of 1930 point to the overthrow of the Howard administration in the spring, of course, the unhappy.
The serious depression which has effected every business and occupation, cannot possibly lift for another year; although there is considerable difference in the way party in power is responsible, it will naturally receive the blime. The Democrats should be able to take advantage of their own opportunities to elect their candidates in order to
Only one obstacle can possibly block the path to victory, and that comes from within their own ranks. Many of our soldiers are members of the national chairman, Rooko, who is going to insist on a "wet" plank in the democratic platform. Because of the influence of the group behind them, they will be more likely to now Now the advisability of such action should be seriously questioned. While a majority of our eastern states may be opposed to the Volunteer Act, there are still many states west, that will still uphold prohibition.
Should Raskoh be able to force the liquid issue on his party, the result will be an extremely close race which may require him to take a difficult reason why the Democrats, if they are interested in electing their candidate, should subject themselves to this risk. The best way is to remedy economic ill and by promising to restore good times, their success in November would be almost assured. Or by making the liquor problem the major issue of the election, supplying their enemy with a weapon to use against the Democratic cause. Indeed, the Republicans would be only slightly less likely to vote for biffition. It would be their best bid.
A certain innocent young woman made the remark that if the waves on a storm were very pretty. We wonder if she ever saw one, or what that who froze during a wind storm?
K. U. seniors look with grave concern on President Hoovers proposal for income tax increases.
WHAT A WORLD OF GRIEF IT SAVES YOU!
We Know a seed house that proves each season's crop of seeds in their own trial gardens before they offer them to the public. Flowers and vegetables grown from these seeds must measure up to definite standards, or else the entire crops from which the samples were taken are burned.
We know a manufacturer of dry batteries who tested a new product two years before he sold a single battery to a single dealer.
We know a manufacturer of an anti-freeze solution for automobile radiators who spent two years testing his product under all conditions before he said a word in advertising about the merits of his goods.
We know a manufacturer of household pharmaceutical products whose self-imposed standard of purity and efficacy is even higher than that laid down by the United States Pharmacopaeia and the National Formulary.
If we mentioned their names you would recognize them immediately. You probably would say, "I plant those seeds," "I use that battery," "I use that anti-freeze," "My medicine cabinet contains those products."
The four instances cited are typical of every reliable manufacturer in America. Millions of dollars are spent annually to develop,to improve, to standardize,and to take the guesswork out of merchandise. Other millions of dollars are spent in advertising to tell you about them.
All of which is to say that in putting your trust in advertised merchandise you save yourself the bother, the expense, the disappointment—yes the danger—of experimenting and discovering for yourself which make of soap, breakfast food, radio tubes, lingerie, gasoline, tea, electric device, stationery-or what-not-gives you the most service for your money.
The news columns keep you informed of the latest international, national and local happenings. The advertisements keep you informed of the newest, most advantageous, most reliable merchandise that America's most progressive makers are producing.
