THE SLAVE MARKET
Students who are forced to work at a low wage, say from sixteen to twenty-five cents an hour, as most working students on the Hill must, soon come to a realization of the gross unjustice of such a wage. Being in narrow financial straits and seeing other students who have plenty of money, automobiles, and such things, drive many a student worker to ruin a good disposition. Trying to put the elements of the problem together he soon directs his scorn first upon the city of Lawrence and then upon the employers.
The state spends much money in Lawrence each year, and students coming from over the state swell this past total the million dollar mark. It is selfiefficient that Lawrence could not be what it is if it were not for the University. Therefore, the working student reasons, since the University supports Lawrence, Lawrence in turn should support him. He does not ask for charity; he asks a job where he can get adequate pay for services rendered.
On the other hand, the people who live in Lawrence view with alarm the hiring of such student help by the local business firms. In the first place the prevalence of student competitors, most of whom must work or leave school, lowers wages. Wages for working men in Lawrence are lower than in similar positions in other towns of the state. In the second place these student workers are here only nine months of the year, and a great many work in places where the employer could hire a full-time man and displace two or three students.
By the time the working student comes to realize the existence of these conditions, he wishes he had never started college until he had saved up a little more money.
Some take their case to a faculty member and ask for advice. The present faculty advisory system for freshman and sophomore men and women seems to offer consultation. After stating the case the student eagerly awaits some word of encouragement, but also, what he hears is often more dishearring than brooding over the problem in the confines of his own mind. The adviser may ask why he came to college, and then tell him that the best thing for him is to quit working or else drop a large part of his scholastic work. And so his bubble is broken. Hadn't the county clubs told of the glory of the working student on M. Oread? And hadn't literature put out either by the University or by some of the many organizations connected to it boasted of the same thing?
It is at this point that the working student starts to propose a remedy. Generally a student labor union does not appeal to students. The very nature of student work conditions would cause a union to defect its own purpose. Students of this class divide here. Some quit. Others go on working as best they can, making the best of a bad situation, dropping out if necessary for a year or so but always hoping for the best.
HELP US HELP THE BIRDS
The Kansan has received a remarkable response from Lawrence merchants and various departments of the University administration in its efforts to make food accessible to Mount Oreand's birds. Grain, sac scrapes, and food of various kinds in large quantities have been donated, and today are being distributed by those connected with the Kansan.
You can help us feed the birds. Come to the Kauai office and help us distribute the food which has been donated to us. A fine spirit is being shown in this work, despite the fact that the approach of fifth gives students little time for thinking of other matters. But the birds must eat, this winter weather. And our efforts, we believe, will be well repaired when their songs are beamed again from Mount Oread's treetops when the snow is gone and spring is here.
Lives Ended by Hanging, says a headline. Yes, that usually ends them.
LIBRARY RED-TAPE
The Library has come in for a lo of criticism of late, most of which was concerned with inadequate ventilation, and now the criticism is that there is too much ventilation and col air. It is to be hoped that this situation can be properly adjusted without further unnecessary admonition. With finals on us like a nightmare, the library will in the next few days serve as cloister for poor victims in whom the moral struggle “to be or not to be” is waging caeselessly and if we are to be victor over the evasive demons, ideal conditions must prevail.
There are now many books on the reserve shelves which have passed their usefulness in the reserve room. Many instructors have imprinted the fact that once a book is placed on "reserve" it takes a constable with a warrants to have it removed. Repeated requests seem to be ineffective, and the books stands on the shelf accumulating dust and invectives on the heads of library assistants. To make a very horrible pin, we believe that slowly but efficiently we are building up a "reserve" library. Then after all the books have been neatly placed in this section, they can start over again, and maybe we shall be able to keep a "reserve" book for two weeks!

THE CRAMMING BUGBEAR
Finals! What terror that combination of six otherwise innocent little letters strikes into the breasts of Jayhawker. Jim Smith is fearful.

every line in the book and consequently won't make an A. The result is the same for each—extensive and intensive cramming, bolstered by endless cups of black coffee, wet towels, and very brief snatches of sleep and aspirin.
Cram we must, for fear drives us to it. It is all very well for instructors and parents to sit upon aloof thrones and advise us against the evils of a practice in which they took just as active a part when they were in our shoes. We are on the quicksands now, the end is near and we are afraid that we may not be duly approved by our master.
There are some things to observe which will make cramming something more valuable than a mad orgy of aimless and exhausting study. Remember that the mind refuses to go on when it has reached the saturation point. There is a limit to the amount that it can assimilate at one time. It will function properly only for a reasonable number of hours. So the best plan is to budget your time, cover all points in outline fashion as well as possible in the time allotted, and allow time for sufficient sleep. Trying to continue beyond this point not only is of no benefit, but actually harms by creating a state of confusion and exhaustion in the mind.
Important Discovery Is Announced by Geology Professor of University
Discovery of diatomous earth of moderate commercial value in Wallace county, Kansas, was announced today by Dr. R. C. Moyer, state geologist.
Report of the discovery was made to Doctor Moore by M. K. Elias, of the geological survey staff, who spent several months this fall in investigating the mineral resources of Wallace county. This is the first discover-

Birds Shift Mates Less Often Than People Believe
Do Mines, Iowa—In the good old romantic days we used to think that birds mated for life. Then some culminated in a claim that they do not only change mates every spring when they come back, but also have married other spouses when the time comes to raise the second of the two broods of young which most babies will develop. In the real facts in the case, Mrs. Margaret Morse Nice of Columbus, Ohio,玛格丽特·莫雷尼大学， studied her hands around their legs, and studied them for several seasons. Today she reported her results at the Wilson Ornithological Club here.
"Five pairs of three species shifted mates in one season, but in twenty pairs of eleven species there was no difference. The birds changed were brown thrasher, house wren and blue birds. The species juveniles, chipping sparrow, field sparrow, song sparrow, toowee, cardinal, catbird, house wren, and blue bird
"Both house wrems and bluebirds leave the nesting site for a period after one brood is raised. Brown thirsters appear to make a definite new start for the second brood, for a few weeks, in singing for a few days at this time.
Soviet Revenue Cutters
Seize Finnish Smugglers
"Many species, however, stay continuously on their territories and moreover their nesting cycles overland. Female song sparrows, robins, cardinals and migrant shrikes have been known to still feed young of the first brood. In such cases the seeking of new nates is impossible."
Leimgrad,— (UP) —The captain and six other members of the crew of the Finnish ship "Stig" have been found guilty of alcohol ammunition.
Are All Made
Sentences as high as two years' imprisonment were pronounced on them by the court here. In view of the fact that they were all foreign subjects, however, the sentences committed to immediate deportation.
The Stig, with a full cargo of liquor, was captured by Soviet revenue officers. The seizure was made in conformity with a treaty for mutual protection against contraband liquor between members of Finland and the Soviet Union.

THOSE PIES
CAFETERIA
Only women cooks
And
The deposit, Mr. Elins said, extends for about two and one-half mile of the riverbed on the Fierce of the Sunny Hill River in the extreme northeast corner of Wallace county, and about midway between the town of Wallace. Examinations at points where tributary cracks cut the deposit, indicate it has a width of an inch or more, and is six or seven feet. The deposit lies at an elevation of about 100 feet
The Kansas deposit, preliminary laboratory examinations have indicate, that the calcite deposits in Oklahoma and in Nebraska, but not equal to those near Los Anselmo, are about half diatomaceous earth, and half calcium carbonate derived from the rocks.
Diatomaceous earth is used in the making of insulating material, both for heat and sound insulation, and also for bonding powders. The insulation material is cut from the deposit in brick form in which it can be handled, despite its fragile nature. Simple crushing of the material as a cleaning powder.
The Wallace county deposit is pure white in color, and has been known in that part of the country as the "chalk hills."
Diatomaceous earth is simply deposit of the microscopic shells of diatoms, or one-celled plants which possess a cell wall. These shells, instead of meeting at the edges, as clam or oyster shells do, slip together like the parts of a crab. The diameter of these shells is about 1,000 diameters are commonly necessary to determine satisfactorily the details of shell structure and to determine whether there are of diatoms in any given deposit;

Lines To a Senior By His Old Man
Blessings on thee, little man,
College boy with shoes of tan.
You've hit your bid for all his dough.
What do you think you know?
No doubt you've learned to drive.
car.
And smoke a big ten cent cigar;
At bridge you're probably pretty
fair.
And you have learned to bet "two pair."
You're led an awful social whirl,
You think you'll pass with any girl;
You've got your pit out on a dame,
You didn't support to save your name.
You may be president of your fraternity and think you are pretty hot at that. But remember this they all sly clowns. That they have frats in the old home town.
You've learned a lot on papi's kale
And now you're ready for the snail.
Out into life's old windy sea
But listen to it, the tide from me
Don't sail too far away from shore And know the boat you have's se- sure.
"Cause when you've finally "come to town."
You'll know darn well you should have drowned.
History of World War in 15 Volumes Completed
Science Service
Washington—At least one history of the World War is completed and in circulation. It is the U. S. Army's record of the medical work done by physicians, surgeons, and nurses. It's also a "Medical History of the World War."
This monumental work, Maj. Gen. Wm. M. Ireland, surgeon general of the U.S., wrote a book on a more valuable reference book for this generation of physicians and statisticians. It is in 15 volumes, and two of the volumes are
The U. S. Army is still working or its official history of the World War with prospects that it may not be completed until 1940.

Opera Singer Leaves Metropolitan for 'Advancement' on Radio Stage
New York—(UP)—When the francese Frances Alda steps before the microphone next Saturday evening to sing the role of "Mimie" in *The Little Prince*, she is at West, it will be her first radio appearance since her farewell appearance in "Manon Lescaut" a torture age at the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
Alda is no stranger to the radio audience. She has appeared on the radio stage several times during the season, including a performance this season when she was chosen to sing the entire cycle of Pacelli music, starting with "Mme."
It was then that she announced she was to leave the Metropolitan Opera, and energy to radio. She meant it, but the musical public found it hard to believe. To give up the Metropolitan after 22 years of triumph; to abandon it.
Consider's Step Onward
Alda did not view it as a step downward, however. On the contrary, she considers it a step onward.
I'll use a simple code block for demonstration.
Consider's Step Onward
Alda did not view it as a step downward, however. On the contrary, she considers it a step onward.
"I always said," she declared.
Alda believes the artistic future for songbirds, in this country at any 'ate, rests with the radio.
"that I would leave the Metropolitan white, I still had my voice. I leaves me out of the conversation. I think so much of radio's opportunity that I consider it a for-
"Radio pays us a princely sum," she said. "Who would have the right 'o say we may not earn it'?"
Alda, with the knowledge born of Jominant position and realization of her own capabilities, is magnificently able to use the average persons speaks of with bated breath. For instance, she thinks many highly touted radio artists don't know how to give to give as satisfactory a performance as some of the "blues" singers.
