IF WE WOULD KEEP THE CARS
Most of the other universities as large as Kansas have banned student cars from the campus, or at least passed very stringent regulations concerning their use. The trend at K, U, has been unmistakable in that direction, but it is a safe prediction that the rules thus far passed will prove to have been very lenient compared to those which will be put into effect if car owners of the campus are not more careful in their driving, particularly between classes and at the noon hour.
The series of activities connected with Mother's Day and commencement time has brought an increased number of cars to the Hill. As drivers, their owners vary from indifferent to totally reckless. Anyone who stands at the corner of Indiana and Oread between classes cannot be less than amazed that accidents are not frequent.
In the past three years there has not been an accident on the campus during class hours. The record is a creditable one, but there can be no doubt that sheer lack constitutes a large element of the cause for it. By the law of the averages, tragedy may be expected just as surely as carne continue on the campus in increasing numbers under the guidance of careless drivers.
Should a serious accident occur, car would almost certainly be harried The Kansas suggests that both student and faculty drivers wait until the lines of students have thinned to force passage across the campus Wherever possible, the car should be left at home.
Faculty and student drivers share alike in the offense of forcing passage across the campus through line of students at the end of class hours. The right of way belongs to the pedestrian on the campus, and if any incident should occur the driver would be at fault regardless of the pedestrian's action.
Fewer students fail than formerly, according to reports from schools in Kansas City, Kan. Co-operation on the part of teachers is given as one cause for the improvement. Now we are wondering how many K. U. instructors saw this story, and if they intend to co-operate so we can all have a pleasant June 4.
MT. OREAD MOVES
A little move of Mount Oread moved down into Mississippi street again yesterday. Perhaps it is a good thing. Most of us like change, and the average freshman who climbs the Hill in the fall wishes it might all move down into Mississippi street or over along Kentucky and Tennessee.
When it rains again tomorrow—or next week, or next month—some more of it will move unless steps are taken toward砂壤 the slopes on either side of the Union building. Fortunately the freshmen do not run the University, and it seems to have been the belief of the people of the state and of the University leaders of the past that the Hill is a pretty good
place for a school. It is probably too late to saddle the hillside before commencement time, and the buildings and grounds department is, in addition, undoubtedly swamped with work, but in the eyes of the average student, there are probably fewer things on the campus more in need of attention than our campus ugly spot.
AN ART CENTER
A new sculpture made recently by Dr. Buel Trowbridge that the Thayer museum of art be not only a center for the permanent housing of works of art acquired by the University, but also be a place where great works of art could be brought to the campus for a short time, is an excellent one. There is great value in the opportunity given to the residents of this community to view art works which are brought here each year under the aupresses of the School of Fine Arts. The idea of Doctor Trowbridge, that such works should be exhibited in the museum of art is not being followed, however at present. Instead, persons desiring to see the monthly exhibits of paintings, etchings, and other works must go to the third floor of the Administration building.
To place such exhibits on view it Thayer museum would be to cause them to be visited by a much larger number of persons than now see the exhibits. The third floor of Administration building is relatively inaccessible; Thayer museum in a position where most students pass it every day, and where it is easily reached by residents of Lawrence. The exhibition rooms in Administration are secluded found by Sunday visitors to our campus, some of whom are persons much interested in art who come many miles to see Thayer museum and would thus be sure to see the monthly art exhibits if they were placed on view there.
A room for these exhibits should be made available in Thayer before next all. Thus the museum will become true center for art on the Hill.
BACK HOME
With visions of worlds to compete, and new quests to seek, graduating students sometimes return to the little home town. With high ambition and a realization of their own knowledge and a capability broadened outlook, they take up the tasks of life. The transition from high school to college had seemed a hard one. Some had failed, others drifted while still others made progress. Son had come to college to gain knowledge, others for social life and some for that elusive thing called "culture." Yet when the student returned to Pumpkin Center he was called upon to do things for which he did not know what they were real education or lack of it seems to begin years before his college career. College does not break down a good foundation for real education. Instead it builds and expands on whatever foundation had been laid. If his foundation crumbles it is became
The acid test of the education of the college youth of today is whether he can dream new dreams, see new visions and do worthwhile things in the common place laboratories of Pumpkin Center. It should be a place to measure the uses of a worthwhile education.
A student who returns home and gives up in disgust at the utter hopelessness and backwardness of the place is not worthy of being recorded a college degree. He has sought in vain for an education and returned with empty hands—hands which might have been full.

THE AIR MAIL ADVANCES
THE AIR MAIL ADVERSES
At noon, May 15, 1918, ten years ago, four pilots stood at their planes in New York, Philadelphia and Washington, ready for the first air mail flight. All four were lieutenants in the army air corps, loaned for purposes of experiment to the postoffice department. While Lieutenant Webb started from New York, while Lieutenants Calver and Edgerton were waiting to relay the mail in Philadelphia, Lieutenant Boyle took off from Washington with a pack of air mail weighing about four and one-half pounds.
This was the first regular air mail ne in the world.
On May 12, 1926, two years ago, operations were started on Contract Air Mail Route No. 3, giving air mail service to the entire Southwest. Today, 500,000 pounds of mail are carried through the air over millions of miles. Air mail planes travel at an average speed of 100 miles per hour. They fly from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes in 15 hours and from the Gulf to the Atlantic in 24 hours. Starling as this great development is, it is but the starting point of a great future. According to Postmaster-General Harry S. New, plans are already in formation for an international air mail service between the United States and Mexico that will make it possible to send a letter all the way from Boston to Mexico City *by* air mail.
what effect this will have on the international relationships of the United States. But it can hardly be other than true that no other recent modern innovation will serve to unite the two Americas more closely together than will the personal contact of the email service.
Brones Aires will begin to think of New York in terms of hours of distance instead of miles.
But the international aspect is but one phase of the matter. The United States is becoming "air mail common". Airports are being built in every town that has an enterprising chamber of commerce. The great heat lights that guide the fleers are zealously guarded against becoming dark. And people are paying 20 cents an ounce to send their letters by air mail.
What will the next ten years bring (or)!
On the front page of the Kansas City Times Monday morning, there were accounts of only 60 persons who were either killed or injured Sunday. Not much a bad record for one day.
One of the chapter headings in "Why We Behave Like Human People" is "Most People Win Success In Spite of Their Training." How we do sometimes wish University processors could just believe it.
When we see the picture of the Kansas City woman who has been accused of murdering a man who was attempting to break in her house, we will probably know what the jury's verdict will be.

The Bridge of Credit
What the Editors Say
Only a few days ago there were listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange $4,210,000,000 in the government bond that is said to simile it is likely to be bounced by $10,000,000,000 before long. Concernness concerning an extensive movement of the same sort among young age in programs. This comprehensive broadening of stock exchange operations in an additional sign of the new importance of the United States is being happened in British boats, and what is forehanded in German buildings promise to be duplicated in relations with other countries, not as a temporary manner, but as a permanent
Capital is being scrambled internationally. Much more familiar than would have seemed possible a few years ago, the day may be approaching between New York and London, or Berlin, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, Tokyo and other foreign banking centers; as it does now among New York, London, Brussels, Warsaw, all American cities. The bridge of credit is best confirmed within national boundaries. New to the charges the banks are putting forth against foreign forces. Trade crosses geographical lines on an ever greater scale. Wages formerly a handful of commodities were expanded among us in the outset of sorts at the earth.
The immined processes of commerce have made inevitable a larger number of capital resources, public and private investment, and Britain wishes to build a new factory. He has a community of British government securities. No longer is he contained to the market in his own hands, but now he is bound to them in the United States, if by any chance the home market is restricted at the time. The same expansion directed for government obligations has led to the formation of a relationship with respect to the securities of private industry abroad. In both instances the foreign course must meet the same tests for listing that are required by American public and private issues.
