BLUE MONDAY
"Blue Monday"—the most dreaded day of all the week, both to students and professors, was with us again. It was a little bitter than usual today perhaps, as it brought a pleasant vacation to an end. It was a vacation of only two days, however, as many students consider the weekend a vacation.
The exodus of students from Lawrence to their homes or nearby towns over the week-end is surprising. Making such a visit each week in seldom conducive to study. Lessons are postponed until the last minute, and that last minute often fails to materialize. Students go dragging into classes on Monday, eyes half closed, and with blank expressions entirely unbeefitting to them. Can professors be blamed for being gruffly on such a day? A little more co-operation on the part of students could soon turn "blue Monday" into "bright Monday."
"PAMPERED WOMEN"
Phillip Hewitt-Myring, exchange journalist from England, spent some time in this country working on various papers and on his return to England he writes of "our pampered women" in a discerning, not to say enlightening manner. Having grown up during the "encapitation of women" American men do not realize its extent.
In it true that the pendulum has swung too far in the direction of women's rights and that they now demand both old fashioned "divinity" and modern freedom? Is it possible that a continuation of the present trend will end with the men at a disadvantage in business and domestic circles? At present women are receiving wages in many instances as good as those paid men for the same work, and in addition they demand and get consideration, courtesy and respect. In domestic life many modern women have discarded practically all responsibility and occupy themselves with cultural development and with pleasures. They no longer appreciate or share their husbands burdens. They have struck the word "obcy" from the marriage vows.
An equilibrium must be found by which justice can be given to the rights of both men and women. The world will be better off under the conditions that have developed thoughtful, capable, self-sufficient women. Such women act like an infusion of new blood in the arteries of commerce, education, religion, and society. They would be the first to object if, as Mr. Hewitt-Myring suggests, they were given an unnatural "edge" on the chivalrous men. They have not as a class sought favoritism; they have only sought a firm footing on which to hold their own in the swirl of world affairs.
This talk about the four journalists, each of whom boasts a pair of twins, proves once more that journalists always exaggerate everything.
Repports that tiypay quartets have given up singing "Sweet Adeline" and are now warbling "Dear Mabel" are probably exaggerated. — Cincinnati Inquirer,
GOOD WILL TRIP
General enthusiasm is being aroused in the South American countries which will have the privilege of receiving a visit from Herbert Hower, president-elect of the United States. This trip is being made to give Mr. Hower first hand information about the Latin-American countries, their peoples and problems. The power, wisdom and sympathy Mr. Hower has already displayed in dealing with foreign countries is enough to encourage the American people to expect that the result of this trip will be important.
It takes place at the right time as Secretary Kellogg has called a conference which will meet in Washington on Dec. 10 at which there will be representatives from the United States and every Latin-American country. The conference meets for the purpose of drawing up a treaty for arbitration in the settlement of all disputes between United States and Latin-America. It is to be hoped that a deep feeling of faith and close friendships will arise in the western hemisphere as the result of this good will trip.

BULLYING WITNESSES
Examination of witnesses at the Vestris trial does not differ in tautes or temper from that which takes up the trials or investigations on which public evidence is produced. it does not differ from what goes on in many inconspicuous proceedings of the courtroom, but it makes a difference why the interrogation of witnesses is not permitted to be a savage baiting of the witness. When it is conducted by a senator or other official in the courtroom, it is especially when that attention is passively emotional, probably the motive of the interrogator is not difficult to understand, however unanticipated. It is also safely assumed to be a desire to stand out in the scene or a rather crude and unencapriculated effort to show the interrogator's goal for public secrecy as an indignation confronted by guilt.
Perhaps it registers in that way with an uncritical part of the public, but we suspect that it reacts to the other way with a good many of us unaware. We think, rather than think, is rather more careful to avoid that reaction, although it is undeniable success have been known to able that trial lawyers of considerate and responsible severity is often an advisable and justifiable resort for the elicitation of testimony in many cases, and we are not suggesting that it should be used with discrimination and restraint, and, when it is not, the presiding judge or official should rebuke and restrain it. Savage and unfair interrogation is not do cause the latter is rather an offense against justice.
We think the interrogation of the chief engineer of the Vestris is an example of unfair and save treat treatment. He had no cartridges for a gun and was not able to shoot a mutineer was exaggerated by the temper of the instructor. The officer was serious offense. The witness was bullied and made to seem excessively culpable for not being armed and not having a weapon, perhaps of an oversight in a matter which certainly is not of normal occasion or very prominent among the people. We reason enough for indemnation over the condition of the Vestris, its equipment and our engineer to be armed ought not to be over-emphasized. That is unfair to him and unfair to the public for not distract attention from his own action.
We have no brief for undue lenency to offenders or for a relaxation of any strictness or severity in the punishment of its phases. Quite the contrary, But bullying of witnesses is not an aid to justice any more than torture was an efficient method of eliciting complaint from a public institution it is especially important in a society in which there is the greatest public publicity that nouncives be carried on with fairness and an official to exploit them in an effort to aggrandize himself or to enjoy the sense of power or to advance some political purpose. In this respect justice and to the public good Chicago Tribute.
Thermocouple Reveals Stars' Heat by Use of Minute Electric Current
Washington, Dec. 3.—How an infinitesimal electric current, which would have to be amplified twenty billion times to make it a single ampere, is used to study the temperatures of the stars and planets was described here recently by Dr. Seth B. Eichonbion at the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The planet Jupiter is the most famous discovery, a laboratory. One of his most famous discoveries was made in 1914, while at the Lick Observatory, when he picked up a previously unknown moon of the planet Jupiter. "The greatest success in measuring the heat received from the stars has been obtained with the thermocouple," he said. "A thermocouple consists of a junction of two elements which, when heated, generates a temperature that is measured with a galvanometer, which is an extremely sensitive ammeter.
(By $ ^{2} $ Science Service)
The weight of a complete thermocouple with receivers one-half millimeter in diameter, including the connecting wires, is about one-thousandth that of a drop of water. The mass of the receiver which is heated by the star is only one-third that of the complete thermocouple.
"A star, of the same color as the sun, which is just bright enough to be really seen without a telescope, radiates on the whole United States about 450 miles wide," he wrote.
"Former Kansas U. Man Receive Scarab耳务," said a Kansas headline just before vacation—and the man who had been the student of K. U. alumni in Kansas City had been affected. Another headline the man alumni had organized, and the paper under it said that a former student of the University of Kansas had been injured. At the last minute it was "ourel necessary to reduce these two headlines in shape; the new hounds were also out fighting." The man in his burry to put them into the paper got them in the wrong place. Such is life just three months before

Editor Daily Kansan;
Chekliie is dead! This bird which symbolized that mysterious Jayhawk was created in flesh and blood for a very short time. The original Jayhawk was born in the minds of several people, who thought that such a bird ever existed is certainly to be doubted. So the coming of the bird this fall created a real stir among Kansas. For the first time in something other than imaginified, and it was a cool event.
We now own a different mental image of that good old bird who watched the Tiger and swali and twists the Tiger's tail, "I'm a Jaymaw!" lives in the heart of every Kansan, and like the good red "Rock Chalk," it can die! — L.B.

imated by the sun on one square yard. $\dagger$ When the heat from such a star which falls on the 100-inch mirror of the Hooker telescope at Mount Wilson, is focused on the receiver of a thermocouple, the temperature of the receiver is increased about one-half-million of a degree Fahrenheit, and the light flows through the galvanometer. The current thus generated is about one twenty-billion of an ampere. The temperature of the proportioned to the amount of heat received by the thermocouple, so that the deflection of the galvanometer on the receiver meccabe is a measure of the heat received from that star.
Though the panes shine with reflected sunlight and are far cooler than the stars the thermocouple can measure, they do not appear in the surface, it is said, in telling of results.
"The heat from many stars has been measured in this way, and of course, we can measure the thermochemps in the constellation of Orian, than from any other. Much of the heat from these stars is desorbed by the earth's atmosphere. This absorption is especially large in the northern hemisphere, where is made for this loss we find that more heat reaches the earth from the blue star Sirio than from any other."
"Mercury is certainly very hot and busile if any atmosphere. The maximum radiation over its surface is much like that of the moon. Venus is corrosive and its mass measured is from the high cloud surfaces, and tells very little except by influence about the actual surface environment. Mercury is much tighter than in Mercury or the moon, being about 3 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. The temperature on Mars varies greatly between the two planets but the temperatures there are some what like those on the earth, at least like those at very high elevations between the two planets are very cold, as might be suspected from their great distances from the sun, unless they give off heat so rapidly that years ago it was commonly supposed that Jupiter was warm, probably warm enough to give out some light warmer than Earth's surface shows that this is not the case.

To Whom It May Concern
A great real of idle gossip has been strewn about in various sewing circles that one Hugh Bently has not been prompt in answering. Mr. Fletcher asked the Hawk's Nest. The whole difficulty is due to my negligence entirely, which I can explain as follows. First, — well — er, I don't recall the first reason, but the second is funny. I seem to have missed my material on this, too. Anyway, I can't tell which I absolutely refuse to answer; they are performed letters, football letters, Campbell soap letters and creditor's letters, about an egg for the old nest?
"So she said to me, 'Don't you think I sing like Helen Kane?'

"Not any more! I dropped that philosophy class."

True to the irony of fate, we'll bet that the guy who said, "Only the good die young," lived to a ripe old age.

"Knowledge is power," said Roder Bacon in his "Meditations (Surce) and our ancestors thought so well of the idea, that the first "Lern Books" issued to the scholars were schoolhouse also bore in some prominent place the same quotation. It would seem that there is nothing that one learns, however abstraction can be, in many study such things as an English of the Restoration Period and wonder why they came to college but in reality, besides branding one's identity, was the form or added means of expression.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWERED
Our Contemporaries
We dismiss a course in History or Philosophy, as "tommyrow" (say for a pro-medical student) and wonder rather superficially why all the chemistry there is cannot be colloquially "shot at an eye". Rather, the university offers a lot of unintelligible giantis. One's equipment for life should in-
The fault with most undergard unites that they want to grasp immediately at the things they know to be tangle, without passing to someone else. The road may crammed with things just as tangible as the ultimate goal.
Study a liberal education; and although many surmount it, it such an education is natally the passing of one of life's burdens—it gives courage.
Many of us are probably carrying a course which in our kinder moments we call "a lot of bunk" but they can be much less. Roger Reiser's preamble, we will approach such a course in a manner that will enable the course to do a great deal more for $q_2$ than it ordinarily would. -Métill Daily.
The old educators had the correct idea when they took, for a motto "Knowledge is Power." It took them through spelling heels in the modern marathon, but, to some extent, more then the steps to ultimate success.
