IN SPRING
The sight of the first robbin and of the small boys playing marbles suggests to this winter wary campan that spring is not far distant.
We have become so acustomed to the sight of hard trees and dead grass that we have forgotten that the campus ever looked any different. But soon the drab grey stone of Snow hall will be dressed in ivy, the dead brown grass will become green overnight and no longer will bulky overcasts be necessary as a shield against the biting wind.
The sofe laxy breezes of the open road and the sunshine spotted country road will soon relieve us of the humdum monotony of life in the winter.
THE DECLINE OF ORATORY
According to the latest report O'Neil and Blackmer chase in exile Even so, they might not find life as comfortable in the United States these days.
The very small attendance at the annual men's oratory contest last night, brings to mind the decline in popularity of formal oratory in recent years. Many an instructor can recall his days in college when oratory was considered as one of the important features of the school activities. The oratory contest was one of the big events of the year. A large number of students wrote orations and practiced long and hard in preparation. And when the night of the contest came, the hall was packed with interested listeners.
But arcteryx seems to have declined in popularity. Perhaps the modern world is to much concerned with the material, with reasons and facts, with the practical business in life. Appealing to the emotions is giving way to standardization. Oratory, which truly has something of the art in it, perhaps is to lofty for our practical minds, today. This is the jazz age—you have heard it before.
And yet, the grand old art of Demosthenes and Cicerio is worthwhile. Oratory has a place even in our modern life. It is to be regretted that there is such a wonderful lack of interest in our context. Will the pendulum swing back? Will the time come when oratory will again enjoy the popularity it had when dad was in college?

THE ACCEPTED STANDARD
Emity exists not only in our own political circles; recent evidence shows that two visiting German lecturers on a tour in the United States disagree quite violently on religious and political beliefs, and that they have no desire whatever to meet.
The man are Enil Ludwig, biographer of Bismarck and Napoleon, and Count Hermann Keysceiting, philosopher and founder of the school of Wisdom at Durmstadt.
Both arrived early in January, and both have been fed and entertained in New York. Few were aware that any emissy was in existence between the two men until both were invited to the same luncheon, and Count Keyserling refused the invitation.
Americans are more polite than our visiting Germans. When invited to lunchmen given by members of the Four Hundred, an American does not stop to think that a pet enemy will be present or not. And if he is, pleasent remarks are made, and smiles are exchanged, however much the antagonists may be seething under the surface.
The rew jail at Hartford, Kann., in be named for the first inmate. Such a chance for immortal fame should inspire the competition of the most worthy of the profession.
Standards of nationalities differ. To us such actions may seem ill-mannored and borish, but to the continent it represents a sincerity which mere politeness fails to convey. We must not judge such action too severely in this consideration.
BARNUM WAS RIGHT
C. C. Pyle, sport promoter extraordinary, is up to his old tricks again. The Iad of "Red" Grange, professional tennis, and whatnot contests having passed, we now have "the greatest and most spectacular footrace ever witnessed by the eyes of human man since the 24 mile run from the battle fields of Marathon to the city of Athens."
A number of runners, under contract of "Cold Cash" Pyle have just left the Pacific coast in a transcontinental race that is slated to end in the arms of Jimmy Walker of New York. The 3,000 mile dash is no arranged that the runners will jog along together day after day. The time will be taken for each day's running and tested to determine the winner.
Now comes Pyle's idea. The race course will be through every possible town of consequential size where there is a stadium or fair grounds. The natives of that particular locality are supposed to flick to the bleachers from miles around, pay whatever Pyle bills they will pay, and see a foot-

It does seem, however, that we should be just as satisfied with the Tarahumara Indians who run all the way from Kauan City as a feature of the Kauan Relays last year.

just how the puppets were made to dance. Thirty-four strings were merely a simple keyboard; the circus jugler alone. A total of 1800 strings was used for the entire show.
The audience was surprised to learn how very small the puppies were in comparison with ordinary persons. The small stage and the
concentrated lighting accounted for this illusion. Mr. Gros explained that the camera was positioned in a sensation of such a show which really requires an informal atmosphere to be achieved.
The voices of the marionettes were not always pleasing and were difficult to understand at times. Only once occupant struck a mark, a drop from "wrong place," however.
Between scenes several visitation and hap selections were played. "Home Sweet Home," played by the harp musician, was perhaps enjoyed most.

Editor Daily Kansas;
editor Kiyoko Kikuyu — problem of financing the completion of the new Memorial building there are many things which should be taken into consideration. First, it is most important to the students is that of the relation of the Varsity舞会. There is a great deal of speculation in the dance community taken in on these dances pose and it seems to me that the Kanmion would also be involved. There is a luxury tax still remaining on many of the forms of amusement in this country to help pay off the debt. If we were to also be a good plan to raise some of the money needed for the Union Building, Making a conservative budget for two hundred young men who attend these dances regularly. At this rate, for each one to be paid on the dance ticket there would be raised about twenty-four hundred dollars a year. If each student can count thirty dance dances, the national government now fit
