SHALL KANSAS LAG?
Is Kansas to lag in the progress medical science is making for the furtherance of human life? A forward step has indeed been taken in providing two additions to Bell Memorial hospital, but the present units are just a good start. Modern quarters are needed for the research department, which has done remarkably well in its bumble quarters in the power building, and for the medical students who now attend classes and laboratories a mile away in the old hospital building. A petition for funds to make these and other improvements possible will be before the next Kansas legislature. Neighboring states are constantly providing increased facilities for their medical schools, and the total investment of most of them is above that of Kansas.
The eruption of disease is wonderful, but the study for the prevention of disease is even more wonderful. Kansas should seize its opportunity and back its medical school to the limit.
THE PRESS A DESTROYER
That the modern American press is the greatest enemy of the teacher, "because it destroys all the finer creative powers of the mind, establishes false standards of human endeavor, and gives a distorted perspective of current life," is the observation of Henry Fairfield Osborn, of Columbia University.
He compares the issues of Franklin's Saturday Evening Post of 1823-1825 with 4,731,332 newspapers circulating daily in and around New York City, showing that literature, music, art, and the stage have dropped from the twenty-eight and three-tenths per cent of the space given them in 1825 to three and eight-tenths per cent of the present news space. He displaces the great circulations of the "sensational" press in New York, showing that such papers have circulations four times that of conservative newspapers.
For the disastrous effects which the "jazz" newspapers have on the youthful mind, he blames not the student, the teacher, or the underpaid college professor, but the intellectual, moral and spiritual environment of the times which he considers away. He does not blame youth, rather he places the responsibility on maturity. Whatever else youth does it is not responsible for the world in which it finds itself. One educator, at least realizes the significance of this plight of youth.
How have the mighty fallen? King George had nearly to die to get into the news. Even now he is only mentioned in the back pages—if there's room alongside the want ads.
An antiquarian of Bergamo Italy claims he has found the secret of Stradivarius for making violins. He says it is the method used for preparing the wood and formula for preparing the varnish. The truth of the matter is that the wily antiquarian has discovered, not the formula for making the best violins the world has ever known, but the method of getting free advertising and wide publicity. After all their fooling
with formulae, they'll find Stradi-
varus' genius consisted chiefly of
hard, careful, conscientious work.
THE NEW YEAR VARSITY
THE NEW YEAR VARIANT
Red and green light gleaning through tall, frosted windows and softly reflected in the glazing snow, the strains of an excellent jazz orchestra, floating out over Mount Oread and long lines of motion "crawl" along sides of the greenhouse. The New Year variability in the Union building Saturday night gave a flying start to Hill social life for 1920 and strikingly illustrated the utility of the Union.
No all University party this year has attracted so large a percentage of the HIP's population and been marked by such a universal atmosphere of pleasure. No other floor in Lawrence could have accommodated so large a crowd and assuredly it would have been impossible to hure more than a thousand students to a less convenient place than the Union in the face of the extremely unpleasant weather.
Chief credit for the success of the dance goes to the vavish dance manager. He put the party across in spite of having his plans upset three times by conditions beyond his control. Praise for the big job of completing the flies go in large part to the W, S, G, A, and to the Men's Student Council who jointly loaned $1000.00 for its competition as well as to the several faculty committees long associated with the Union.
All that goes up comes down. That is all but fees and taxes.
There would be no great objections if these cold waves were put on a shorter wave length.
In these days of many columnists, it's a wise wise-crack that knows its own author.
With a constantly increasing divorce rate, it begins to look as though the bridal knot has become a slip knot.
This aerial filling station serving the "Question Mark" evidently doesn't require that the motor be shut off while the gas tank is being filled.
Headline: 'Cold Wave to be Short One.' Now tell us, does the Federal Radio Commission set the wave length?
We are unable to feel much reverence and respect for the minister who preaches brotherly love, the Golden Rule, bird work and duty and then fails to clear the snow off his front walk.

THAT CAN'T PAY" MYTH
The positive dictum that Germany can pay reparations according to the treaty is not a rule, as the difficulties came as a surprise to all the nations concerned. If it has shocked those concerned into a clearer general effect should prove beneficial.
Germans, just as naturally, have been thrown into consternation. "Can't pay" has been their cry for ten years. They have depended upon them in their now-war adjustments. They don't like the loss of respect in their fight.
The French, naturally, are elated over Agent General Gilbert's report. The French have said Germany can pay, Germany must pay. But since the French themselves have made the matter political—that they were not meant, their conclusion does not follow.
The British are a bit disgruntled. Their policy has been based not only upon the wisdom of the people, but also on allegations but unpleasant the ultimate absolute necessity of it. If Germany can pay $625,000,000 annually for taxes, their arguments fall rather flat.
One prime result of the Gilbert report upon the coming reparations negotiations is that all the Europeans around the board on equal terms. For Mr. Gilbert, in stating that Germany has recovered, adds that the others have recovered proportions to their losses. The families concession for concession.
nant-payers secturing for cover.
—Philadelphia Public Lodger.
In a broader sense it must be clear that the "can't-pay" myth, which has been used by others besides Germany, has at last been exploded. If Germany can pay, can you England? France can pay, can you America? States. Mr. Gilbert's dictum is far-reaching. It has sent all the "can't-towers" scavenging for cover.
Hearings on the Joint Resolutions "requesting the President to propose calling an international conference for calendar simplification, or to accept, on behalf of the United States, an invitation to participate in such a conference," were scheduled for December 21.
Proposed Thirteen Month Calendar to Be Discussed by House Committee
Washington, Jan. 8.—The proposed new thirteen-month calendar will be discussed in the House Foreign Relations Committee before the close of the week.
"In view of the action of United States delegates at the Havana international conference," says Representative Stephen Porter, Republican, of Pennsylvania, chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee, "we are calling for an at least take part in an international conference for calendar simplification."

As Others See It
There came upon the Hill one day two men who belonged to the same fraternity, and were fraternity A, and snow A. They came to the snow-colored sidewalk many barbs words referred to the cold winter, from the tears their lips. Even as grain from a torn sock did the sour music of swearing up upon the deathly illness of winter.
And it seems that the men were feeling particularly hard about the insufficient amount of bedsideware that they were to have, and the fact that they were to skimp to combat the chill breezes that cried and sarged about the corners of their sleeping porch and steadily inhaled from them the brothers as they lay in bed.
DVORAK IN IOWA
And, from their conversation it could be learned that the brothers were practicing the habitual method of placing them upon their own bed in order that they might survive throughout the night by marrying, the unfit being forced to stay up and sleep in chairs all night. And so conflict and dissension was arising in the ranks, and bloody muttings were brew-
The cold weather which has been favoring Mount Oread the past few days was taking its toll in more ways than one on the climate of Ireland in peace and harmony for a longer or shorter period of time had been forced by the chill winter to forage. It has grown well-known instinct of self-preservation - Wilbur Moore.
One hundred per cent Americanism in Iowa is due for a shock. That commonwealth that clams Hoover as latest in its long and turbulent run of injustices, is preparing to name one of her main modern automobile roads after a man so foreign that there are few in the country with highbrow musical clubs who can even make a stagger at pronouncing his moniker. The route to become Dovarka has been painted Dovarkah, or otherwise expressed Dovezak-jiah, get it or not as you can. We will at this time not undertake to say how "Hoover" became Dovarka, but of the choice is that Iowa has learned to recognize Dovarka's "Humoresque", and it is claimed it was while a virologist in the Bohemian colony thereabouts that the author of the "New World Symphony" composed a part at least of the syncopated passage that has woven into their tunes. The highway will run beside Turkey river, and the natural supposition is that up there "Humoresque" will compete for first place in popular estimation. —Times-Picayune

Porter himself favors the new calendar.
"Thirteen months of, exactly twenty-eight days each will enable all business, gatethem to know more exactly where they stand. It is impossible at present for the receipts and expenses of the company compared with another.
"Pay days would come more regularly. Easter would always fall on the same day and date. Holidays would be on the same week day-Monday.
"It seems to me very logical that the world should not启本 new calendar, and I believe that it will do so."

The joint resolution which was introduced in the Senate by Senator John McCain on Wednesday, Minnesota, summarizes the three fundamental defects of the present cakeden
The divisions of the year, the months, quarters, and half years are of unequal length. For instance, eighty-eight to thirty-one days. As a result, the number of days in the quarters are respectively three, six, nine, eleven, ninety-one, ninety-two. The first half-year, therefore, contains two or three days less than half
"The calendar is not fixed; it changes each year; the year, in fact, consists of fifty-two weeks, plus one or two days. In consequence:
"(a)The dates of periodical events can never be fixed with precision.
(D) The position of the weeks in the quarters varies each year; that is to say, the weeks overlap the divisions of the year in which each institution accordingly arise in the reckoning of accounts, statistics, and so forth.
“(6)The 15th and 30th of the month have very important dates as regards your travel, including wages and rent. When these dates are Sunday, the payments must be made on Monday.”
"GOFully—and this is, perhaps, the greatest drawback from a statistical and administrative approach to the week are not of the same value as regards the volume of trips, and the years in which they occur. In addition, include the same number of individual work days, there can be no genuine difference year and month, while the various subdivisions of the year itself—half-year, quarter and months—are like months.
The third disadvantage listed is the non-fixation of Easter, with its consequent displacement of the movable festival and resulting disadvantages.

There seems little chance, that the joint resolution can pass both houses of congress this session, but if heartbroken House, its passage during the special or regular session of the Seventy-first congress hopes hopeful. It will, of course, have to be reintroduced in the House, because it does not pass before March fourth.
Senator Borah, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is not inclined to favor the new calendar at present, although he admits he has not given the matter the study time. "I will tell it before finally making up his mind,"
“Off blind,” he declares, “it app-
plements standardization that I believe
is becoming one of our virtues so
emphasized nowadays that it tends to
be a detrimental force.”

THE GLORY OF THE COMMONPLACE
The ordinary is but the multiple of the unique. The movement of our fingers and toes was marvelous to us, because we were so used with the efforts to be and to do like our elders. Later came that myteresting and dangerous stage of development where necessary acts accompanied by accounted scenes and beings, cover with a drab clash. We return by the end of this chapter to my magical realm of dreams of what we have not. Dreams of our desires hang heavy on our ambitions should
A strain of classical music, meel a levain with age, a smile, a kind word, an enthusiastic child "sort" changes from one mood to another in the mood. The innocence of children, the gaiety of youth, the sadness of age, take turns in the tossing wreath.

The memory of which goes with us throughout the incidents of our everyday life. Yet Nangels can be found in any life that, like simple, as it may be, is not glorified. Every moment of walking, every dream remembered decrysion, every struggle to dominate hardships to seem but glorious trials. For incidents of
