Students Employ Novel Styles of Stamp Arrangements and Illustrations, Says Postmaster
"In my varied experience with people," said C. B. Hostorf, post master of Lawrence, "I am quite thoroughly convinced now that a least ninety-five per cent of the grand total are honest. This conclusion has been reached after having had many experiences with many different people. It is not to be supposed that difficulties never arise if our relations are not made with many adjustments to make in every case when the person involved thoroughly understands post regulations and is given a square deal, the matter is promptly dismissed and good feeling reigns.
"Carelessness," continued Mr. Hosford, "causes more delay in postal transit than any other one thing. Most people know how to address mail and tie packages but in haste the task is often poorly involved.
"As a whole, we have little difficulty in reading the writing of University students. It is usually done carefully and in most cases is quite neat. Few students at present violate the ruling of sending letters, papers and books in fact; so the violation is broken it usually is at the close of the school year. "In every case," said Mr. Hoseford, "such啄ing is always unwise.
"Quite a large number of University students have artistic temperament and as a result many letters are beautifully illustrated. This illustrative sketching combines numerous class-room incidents and humorous incident in general. Cleverness is portrayed in this illustrative work.
"It is especially interesting to observe the various styles of stamp arrangement used by many students." You can buy one-half cent stamps for special
delivery purpose and arranges them a picture frame style around the edge of the envelope. The address is crowded in the limited space in the center and the effect is, of course, quite novel. Over 5000 special delivery letters are received each month in Lawrence.
"This number." said Mr. Hooford, exceeds the Kansas City, Kan, total and also compares very favorably with other cities larger than Lawrence.
"Our carriers often have humorous experiences in their daily work. Recently, a university woman was anxiously looking forward to the receipt of a party frock which her mother was to send. The day of the party finally arrived but no dress made its appearance. The postman made his usual morning trip but then the party package came and the after effect still there was no package. By this time the woman was almost frantic.
After the postman had left the house in the afternoon something prompted the woman to ask him to search the mail bag again.
He did so and jestingly drew out a miniature box.
"You come to look at the wicker."
The woman looked and recipied replacing her mother's hardwriting replied, "Yey! Yes? That's it! That's my dress."
Clatter and Din of Tin on Tin Reminds One of Spring's Arrival as Collegiate Flivvers Emerge
"A as whole," concluded Mr. Hosford, "I greatly enjoy my work as postmaster. It is delightful human, and through the countless social contacts I find my faith in human nature has broadened. The one big thing the public expects is fair treatment and care, and the part of everyone towards hearty co-operation I am sure such treatment can be assured.
Spring last asserted herself at lath and with very noticeable results. The brightness of gay hats and flowers is dimmed by the more vivid hues of the collegiate Forsyth; the collar of a girl's jacket cannot be heard over the din of the legions of them.
They have popped up nearly as thickly and as suddenly as Easter illies. This balmy Spring atmosphere brings the car-urge to everyone. The collegian is resourcelful. If he can't have a Packard roadster or a Chrysler coupe he sells his winter overcoat and buys a luxe Ford.
Backyards of fraternity houses have become alive with mechanics urging their scrap hems into activity. And painters with remarkable feeling for color are evidently scattered over the Hill.
There is an atroity in brilliant blue and yellow—this color scheme is said to give vitality to the whoewe.
"Go-to-College" Sponsored
All the frozen-toed tiny buggies which couldn't make the Hill in cold weather have been thawed out and are now buzzing around everywhere. If last fall's model can't be made to suit the new terrain, they will buy a new mechanic's delight.

there is a remarkable black and yellow, awning-striped, nine-passenger roadster which reminds one of a humble bee, so realistic is its colorful stripes and so great is its buzz. Visitors can see it in a scene the claim upon seeing it. It startles them. Some of the less famous rambling wrecks of the University are just black, except that they have been openly exposed to the elements, show openly all winter and having been rusted, rusty, burnt through their black enamel.

WELCOME HIGH SCHOOL VISITORS After High School Turn Your Helm Toward K. U.
The
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Will Lead You Into A New World
Like Columbus when he started on his memorable voyage, you who will be graduated from High School this spring are on the threshold of a new world. Let the University Daily Kansan unfold it for you.
The Kansan is the official daily paper of the University of Kansas. It is a friend and companion of K.U. students.
The Kansan stands for the progressive movements that are leading our University to greater things. It is a real power on the campus.
Its news columns are clean, well-edited, and interesting. Its editorials enjoy a wider audience than many city dailies, and are quoted by magazines of national importance.
The Kansan brings the latest happenings on the campus, in the world of sport, and in national and international affairs, to the students before dinner in the evening.
业
To help you become better acquainted with K. U. the Kansan will be glad to mail to you a copy of the paper each day without charge to you for a short time. If you want to receive it, tell us so by leaving your name and address at the Kansan Business Office in the Journalism building (next to the Library).
