Students May Buy Friendship Candles During This Week
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1923
Fifty Workers Are Excuse From Class$^{a}$ to Receive Contribu ions on Campus
"One dollar equals five," is a good way to contrast the value of money here in America with the value of it in Europe," said Harold Burt, manager of the Christmas Tree, in speaking of the relative amount of goods a dollar would buy here and abroad. "Here it means but a good order or dance but over there it means a living existence for a month."
Tomorrow and continuing until Thursday evening, students of the University will have an opportunity to help to the Student Friendship Fund.
Nothing Is Compulsory
Nothing is Compulsory
The committee in charge again wishes to emphasize the fact that there is nothing compulsory on one hand and is asked to give more than he feels he can give and for each contribution a small Friendship Candle will be given. However only those houses which average a dollar per member will be given the large Yuletide Candles.
About fifty students who are making good grades will be excused from their classes to receive the contribution. Some of them may be booths in Fraser hall, Green hall, Administration building, Marvin hall, and in Spooner library during the evening. These students will be given half-day periods to this work.
Any House May Have Serenade "While there is no particular rush about getting the Friendship Candles we hope that as many as possible can see them," she says. "Also, I wish to make it clear that anyone who desires a serenade may have one by calling "K. U. Serenade," or by leaving their names and addresses at the Booth in Fraser hall. To secure a serenade it is not necessary to obtain a certain percentage or average of dollars. YouTube caddies."
Pass Stamp Sale Quota
Fund Raised Helps to Support Tubercular Clinic
In an effort to make the Friendship Fund contributions one hundred per cent, any student who does not care to give to the European Student Relief may give his money to any cause he believes is worthwhile. A space will be left vacant for the student to indicate his preference for the use of his money.
More than $125 worth of Christmas stamps was sold on the hill last week, and all returns from the sorority representatives are not in yet. This amount is much greater than the quota and the amount expected.
The sale of the stamps will not be continued on the hill this week, according to Mrs. Seba Eldridge, who has charge of the stamp sale for the entire city, does not wish to. The sale is with the sale of Christmas candles.
The money raised by the sale of the stamps will go to support the monthly clinic in the public heth office in the city hall of Lawrence for tuberculosis patients. Last year more than fifty students from 15 University were treated and greatly benefited by the clinic.
Musical Vesper Service Attracts Good Audience
The Christmas theme was carried out in the second all-musical vespers of the School of Fine Arts, given Sunday afternoon in Fraser chamber, and whose dressings were in keeping with the season, consisting of Christmas trees and candles loaned through the courtesy of Ward's Flower Store and Barbeldes School. The dressing of the School of Fine Arts had charge of their arrangement.
The program consisted of numbers by a semi-chorus of twenty-four voices, a string quartet, a trio string, and an orchestra, all colored in roses. It is the plan, according to Dean D. M. Swarthout, to emphasize ensemble numbers in the all-musical veaspers, since it is usually the capo who serves services solo work in predominant.

University President Says Nation's Future Depends on Students
Relief Work in Europe Offers America Opportunity for Self Help
"I doubt if any such opportunity has ever been presented to students of America to alleviate suffering, to help them and contribute to the leadership of nations, and to help fellow students maintain faith," said W. O. Mendenhall, president of Friend's University at Myers hall yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Mendenhall emphasized the fact that the future of this nation and of the world is in the hands of students who have gone "Twenty-five years from now the students of today will control the destiny of the world and the existence of international goodwill will important and most necessary,
"The work of the European Student Relief will be a determining factor in this regard. In some of the countries of Europe which have suffered from depreciating currency, the people have lost all faith even in God. Many have felt that if there was no God, because if there was no God, they would not be forced to suffer as they do," said Mr. Mendenhall.
He pointed out that to lose faith meant the loss of any hopes for the future. One can argue for hours that there is a God but would gain nothing if the man was hungry. But give him food and he could be convinced or at least be willing to listen.
Mr. Mendenhall is a distinguished speaker and his saying that the work of the European Student Relief is helping those students to understand the meaning of good will, and that upon its understanding rests the peace of the world comes as an unbiased opinion of a man who has acclaimed "That the students of America can aid by helping the European Student Relief must not be forgotten. That the European students of today will be the leaders of their nations in twenty-five years and that if we gain their good will now, we can secure the future good will of the nation," said Ms. Derrick. The students should not shirk this responsibility and there is not a more appropriate time to do it than at Christmas," he concluded.
Liz Finds Protection in Mike's Superiority
"The news about the equality of exes has evidently not got around" Mike a he still persists "that he Lizzie's boss," said Van as he unblocked the clean look little houses there the monkeys were kept.
The monkeys have clean querns and running water. Their bill of fava is also appetizing. For breakfast they have onions and bread; for dinner, apples, lettuce, carrots, sweet potatoes, and Irish potatoes; for super, peanuts and bread. On Sunday they get bananas.
There are four monkeys, all of the same family: Lizzie, Mike Jumbo, and Jack; but Mike is the master of the house. If there is any fighting to be done for Lizzie to die himself, he would probably unless Mike is fighting Lizzie himself. Jumbo and Jack are rather cross and enjoy fighting too well. "But see how tame Mike is" said Van as he pulled off his cap and let Mike perch himself on his glow. Mike perch himself that Mike patted the head in distress.

Secretary Weeks Gives Report Showing Data on National Equipment
U. S Maintains Fewer Soldiers Per Thousand Than Other Countries
Washington, D. C., Dec. 17—Secretary of War John W. Weeks gave several facts concerning the military equipment of the United States in his report to the president for the year ending in 1923.
Just what is the cost of our national defense as compared with that of other countries? Statistics show that although the United States is
the wealthiest nation in the world,
its wealth is relatively less protected
than other countries of today.
The following table of data
illustrates this point;
United States maintains one soldier
per $250,000 of national wealth.
French maintains one soldier per
per $250,000 of national wealth.
France maintains one soldier per
Italy maintains one soldier p
$120,000 of national wealth.
Japan maintains one soldier p
$80,000 of national wealth.
The United States keeps a smaller number of soldiers per 1000 of population than any other country. As of October 2015, there are but two countries, Colombia and Costa Rica, with lower pension ratios than that of the United States. The ratio maintained by Colombia was 1.1 to 1.2 for United States.
What are the direct products of national defense costs? The report of the secretary of war simply suggests a few to the rather skilful appraisal of the actual net money dividend to the taxpayer as an interest on an investment." Those who are responsible for the protection of the people must not permit popular misjudgment to be held against the contribution of conservative national defense.
It is not only wise to institute representative legislation, to protect individual liberty and individualism, but also to protect the people against their own weaknesses and limitations. "The flag and the Army are of that unity without which the American people can not survive."
Chinese Luck Ring Found on Gridiron
The story of the lucky horse-shoe that made the trip to Norman with the Kansas eleven may have a counterpart in a Chinese good luck ring that some visiting gridron warrior wore against Kansas on the stadium field. The ring which was of the adjustable type was bent and twisted backwards, near the knot of the wearer's finger. The place where it was found is significant—thirty-four yards north of the south goal.
It was first suggested that the ring must have been the property of some Washington University player, but critics point to the Washington-M. U. gamen as proof that all the good, luck omens were taken back to St. Louis. Perhaps it slipped from the finger of the touted Bootter. Perhaps some Angle player lost it just before Kansas stopped one of his drives on Saturday. Wal removed it from his finger just after the trying field goal and it slipped from his abriving hands into the snow—who knew?
Yeats's "Hour Glass" will be presented by the senior class of Cronn High School at its Christmas party Friday morning. The play is directed by Mrs. L. A. Macdonald assistant professor of education.
