WILL, THE PAINTER
Winging home from a three month's lecture tour, Will Rogers, writer-comedian, brought with him a new ambition.
Rogers has been considered for most everything from the presidency of the United States to the role of cinema cowboy. His cross-country visit has, however, added yet another interest. He is going into the paint business
It all came about in this way.
Rumor has it that while the ex-aymayer of Beverly Hills was flying over Western Kansas recently he became lost. The story has not been confirmed by Rogers, but he is nevertheless convinced that there should be some means by which the air-riders can always tell just where they are.
When Rogers landed on Clover field he had it all figured out, and he announced his scheme to the world immediately.
The plan is to paint the names of towns and cities on the barn tops of the respective communities. National interest was aroused when the instigator of the maneuver offered to supply the necessary point.
The story ends with typical Roger
ian paragraphs:
Telegrams were immediately received from all parts of the country. Rogers was taken at his word and bills came in fast. Interest has however, been declared in any amounts below $98.
There's a lot of town that need to be found, both by aviators and others and a few gallons of paint will solve the skydiver's problems when jumping from one town to another. That's the reason for my paint proposition."
"I am shipping paint as fast as it can be obtained to all chubbers and in it being sent C, O, D. I am not Tombini. I'm willing to do this. All I expect to make is a commission on the paint.
The Kannan suggests that the buildings and grounds department of the University take Mr. Rogers' offer under serious advisement. K. U. must always be in the front ranks when it comes to progress.
We don't like to appear hard hearted by agreeing with the Lackede Blade that the most effective means of disposing of a thief is to put him in a coffin, but it's the truth and we add that considering court costs it is probably the cheapest way.
A MILLIONAIRE IS CONVICTED
A decision has been rendered in a Kansas City federal court which proves that money can be convicted. On the fourth trial Frank DeMaoy and Robert Carnahain have been given the maximum penalty for violation of the prohibition amendment.
Before the trial of a wealthy man is fairly started the public says that money cannot be convicted, and that it is a waste of government funds to prosecute the case. This opinion has been held for so long that the majority of people do not care particularly if he is sentenced or not.
To be sure, there have been many wealthy men, who are known to be guilty, who have escaped scot free.
However, this verdict shows that men can be tried on the facts of their case, rather than on their income.
If a respect for the democracy of our country is to be continued the courtesy of men before the courts must be maintained. There cannot be two kinds of justice—one for the rich and one for the poor.
To make decision will be an
The DeMayo decision will be appealed. It is to be hoped that the penalty will not be lessened.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Uncle Sam has before him the unpleasant task of suppressing three kinds of bootlegging; namely, unlawful traffic in alcoholic liquor, in narcotic drugs, and in aliquum excluded by immigration laws. The means and dirtier a job is, the more important it is to get it done promptly and thoroughly. The present task is no exception to this principle. It is an ideal case to cite in support of its innocence.
The issue is not the comparative merits of wetness and dryness, nor the social effects of dope selling, nor the wisdom of our immigration laws. The basic issue, the one that sticks out like a core thumb, is whether Uncle Sam is to be made in his own home; whether his duly enacted statutes against bottlegelling are to be obeyed, or whether they are to be flouted and sneered at in public and in private, by high and low, rich and poor, alien and citizen.
The reduction of the supply to bootleg liquor from a torrent to a trickle is bound to take much time, money, brains and voltage. It will no doubt divert government activity from productive channels. Viewed from certain angles, the accomplishment will cost more than it will come to. As a money-making enterprise, there may be nothing in it. And yet every thinking man knows that, cost what it may, this one great assertion of authority is vital and imperative. Government must maintain its authority or go out of business; and our is no exception. When law is a laughing-stock and the hazards of crime are not much greater than those of lawful business, government, as conceived by civilized nations, is at an end.
The United States has a long way to go before it will come to such a pass; but until bootlegging of all sorts shall have been brought under tight control, that is the direction in which we shall be heading. The time has come for a show-down and a change in administrative policy. The strengthening of law enforcement is the greatest piece of unfinished business before the country.
Twenty years, ago criminals who flouted local authorities year in and year out were careful not to bring down upon themselves the heavy hand of the Federal government.
Now it seems that it has remained for a new generation of bootleggers to break down Uncle Sam's old prestige and morale. If the government lies down on the job of law enforcement they will become bolder and more arrogant. If it bends every energy to clean them out, root and branch, and considers the job as the greatest piece of unfinished business before it, we shall get action aptly, and bootlegging will soon be listed among the hazardous occupations. There is substantial ground for believing that this is what will come to pass; tardily, to be sure, but better late than never.

There are dog-days, and dog-stairs; there are hot-dogs, "doggees" and Just Pups. Of course there are blue ribbon dogs; but blue ribbon, like blue blood, is unnecessary to the Hare-legpups girls with their striped coats, black-patched ears and impudent noses, who bestwrest the streaks, and the

As we mumbled up the bonfire

meral, too.
It was Solrab, the great, eager greybond, earpiece for pictures new, and be desired privacy, but trailing his wake was a small-sum-bone-nosed pup of doubtful pedigree.
Sobrab passed in his stately paddling owned to glance contemporaneously in the rear at the pun, who cooked an incipient derg ear and also paused long enough to send a particularly annoying flea to its ontological heaven. Sobrab, wringing his aristocratic cords in disgust, embraced by strategy to discername himself from the company of the lamentable trail-veon.
L. V. COMPTON, President
Of no avail, Sahrah rounded bushes and cut through lawns; he paused upon the terrace, and glanced over the valley with an eye of detached appreciation. The pup rounded the bushes, cut through lawns, pawned upon the terrace by the side of Sahrah and looked over the valley, his magnificent tail wabbling delightfully, his mouth open, his red tongue lopping downward, his entire harlequin face one canine grin of approval. Suddenly from down the alley appeared three disheveled ragnaffins—pups, surely. They were bound for points southward. They were ranged and down-to-the-belt, they swapped like young trunks from school as they passed Sahrah and the pop with vast indifference. The pup looked at Sahrah—he picked up one foot slowly and the other three rapidly, and started after the ragnaffins. He joined them. They treated on four acrest in the twilight.
Sabrash looked after them wittfully.
He wanted to weep, he wanted to feel condemning terms slide down his long nose, but he could not - he had once upon a blue ribbon at a fair, Sabrash out dawn suddenly, one drowsy ear alert, lifting a great paw meditatively, as he lovingly scratched the bourgeois fea on his left ear a last remembrance of the Hardiapen Pup.

Noon, scouts of divers large corporations will flock to the campus, promoting seniors financial success in life if they will just sign on the dotted line.

These contract men will assure the favored students that, personality, motivation and attitude make good are the qualities that guided them in the weeding out pro-
And then the students will manage to let it be known that they have acquired an investment in a manufacturing company which represents an investment of several million dollars.
Of course it is understood that they are to start at the bottom, but hard work for several months, or at most, would be difficult. You're in a responsible position, drawing an executive's salary. A wife, mom, grandmother, or stepmother, mobile, a home, and kidnies will follow, in their proper order, naturally, according to the word pictures
So the students will thrust out their lower jaws and for six months.
But, noody really, no vacancies occur in the higher up positions. The pay envelope is still padded with two $10 bills. For a white longer the young alumni will die in harder even. Still status quo. As a last resort — rarely in bed for life own welfare — they must be given a raise or else.

At the Concert

The women's plus club concert should have come earlier in the week. It seemed rather time coming right after the performances of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. Then too, Friday night is an unpromotional event.
The women started rather weekly, but ended very creditably. The program was long but varied. Besides the number which the club sang as a unit there was a trot, a violin solo, a duet, a contralto solo, a piano solo, a quartet, several readings, and a sopa solo, all done in a satisfactory

Ruffles are also popular, combined with a tight bight waist. Lavender to be ex- tensive and even other pastel shades sharing in favor.

What the Kansas Editors Say
Why Is Health Last?
Students at the University of Kansas have dipped into their pockets and found enough funds with which to build a new stadium and memorial hospital. The need for more seriously on Mount. Orion 7
For the just several years, a frame structure on Tennessee street, formerly used as a residence, has been the abode for those afflicted with ILL health or accident at the University. For years, the student has been the value received from a hospital fee of $6 a year paid by each student in the school.
During the past school year, three incidents have occurred at the state hospital. These incidents need for more hospital accommodation for the students. It is therefore necessary to
these incidents, but nevertheless they have existed and they should come more stress to be put on the situation.
The new stadium and the new union building are both em猿s undergrads of K, U, students, but in building these tributes as memorials to those who died from injuries in the attack there has been a denial to those who need health protection while in the stadium.
