THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22,1923 St. Louis has erected a monument dedicated to the thirty-two children killed this year in auto accidents. A nice rock pile erected at the county jail might have prevented a few deaths. VOICES IN THE WILDERNESS Out of the unrest and turmoll of the Rhine and the Ruhr, out of the hatred and mistrust of two great peoples, comes a new note. It is not the voice of the masses, but it may be indicative of a growing realization. "The first condition of peace in Europe is, above all things, friendship between France and Germany; these two people have so many common interests and are so destined to complement one another that quite simply they should unite in peace and friendship," said Karl Fritz at the International Congress. Leon Revoyre, a French delegate, voiced the same sentiment when he said: "The German and the French souls are part of one universal soul. They complement one another. The Germans have a depth, a seriousness, a conscience that we, with our enthusiasm, need. And we, perhaps, have qualities that the Germans lack. When our friendship can cross the boundaries, and each can value the qualities of the other, then the solution will be quite clear." Are these friendly voices lost in my wilderness of hate? "OH, ITS ONLY A COLD!" "Devil's biopic' Requires Specia Scenery Effects," says a Kansas headline. Fire and bristone. And she would not be the only one to receive such an order if other parents realized the same thing about their sons and daughters. A girl on the Hill was everheard to remark the other day that if her mother knew how hard she eugenced she'd be ordered home on the next train. Many University students are placed on their own responsibility—some for the first time. Hitherto they have always had mother around to say, "Now here's some garble to help get rid of that cold," or "Take a hot巾 tonight before you go to bed," or "Rub this on your chest." And when no one makes them do these things they pay no attention to their cold and think they can "throw it off"—with the result that serious complications often develop. . Under-heated rooms and insufficient bed-clothes are the causes of a number of these coughs. This deficiency could be remedied in a large measure by the University Rooming House Committee. But another cause that is not so easily disposed of is the carelessness and thoughtlessness on the part of the students themselves. The day of rubbers is apparently past and wet feet are the result. Scanty clothing brings a large toll of cold victims. Sitting on the damp ground, going for midnight car ride, seeking the porch or a window after a dance and other seemingly harmless things are responsible for a large share of student's colds. They've all been told that these are unwise things to do but they reason that they are strong and nothing hurts them,—so why worry? arms them—so why worry? As a rule it takes some serious illness caused by folly to bring a person to the hospital, and vice versa when he must then that after all some of these old fogy notions aren't as silly as they once imagined. The greatest book collector in the world is the library student. DOING UNTO OTHERS The first Sunday after Thanksgiving, Dec. 2, has been se aside as Golden Rule Sunday when every family is asked to think of the thousands of hungry orphan children in the Near East and share with their bounty that God has given us. The people are asked to join the children of the Near East in a very simple meal, costing as their meal costs, less than four cents for each person, and the difference between this cost and the cost of the usual Sunday dinner given as a contribution and a thank offering for the orphans of the Near East. Some people refer to the size of their libraries more often than they do to the books. There is one man always willing to beg a pardon—the inmate of a penal institution. COMPARATIVE JUSTICE Thirty years ago, Millard C. Curtis, a bank cashier, robbed the bank's creditors of $12,000, and escaped. Now, old and broken, after thirty years of exile, he asks permission to return and spend his last days with his loyal friends. He offers to pay back all that he stole, and asks that the government forgive him; but the government is not so sure that it can do this. His case has been referred to Attorney General Daugherty. Some time ago, "Liv" Morse, a Missouri politician, sold some hospital property in Excelsior Springs to the Veterans' Burcau. In recent investigations in the U. S. Senate, it has been alleged that the sum which Morse received for the property was greatly in excess of its actual value. Finding himself "up against it," Morse has "agreed" to refund the difference between the price for which he sold the property and any price which an appraisal committee shall judge to be fair—and the Senate has accepted his proposal. Each of these men has been guilty if fraud and robbery. In the first case, the offender has voluntarily offered to make an assault. In the second case, retribution was offered only after there was no alternative. In other respects the cases are parallel, and should be treated alike. Certainly there should be no discrimination in favor of the latter. In Pharaoh's Tomb Again—Headline Wathea isn't the only place where grave diggers are known. Campus Opinion It was noticed the other day that the University of Minnesota students had circulated a petition and succeeded in education advanced one week, beginning Dec. 15, instead of Dec. 22, so that the large number who always plan on working for one week before the end of school to earn the much needed money. Why is it that the University authorities, though they know how many students plan every year on making a little money this way, have arranged the vacation to begin Dec. 18. They have no way that the faculty will co-operate for the benefit of those who are making their own way? "A Student." All the people who don't fall for flattery could hold a convention in a telephone booth. A sophomore from the razor-back country was asked yesterday if he represented Arkansas in the Cosmo-politan Club. Plain Tales From The Hill "Well," said the sorrowful senior, "I'm afraid I'll have to take 'money' next semester." "Yes," sighed the sympathetic soph, "I'd do most anything to get some too."

One of the most essential elements of a chalk-talk is the chalk. Jimmy O'Bryon forgot that the other night, had to run all the way home after it, and was late to the Press Club and he had to get up and roast a member of the faculty for his absent-mindedness. E. B. STOUFFER, Chairman. A woman's idea of ingenuity is to neglect to fill her water penetin before going to the library so that she will have an excuse to go home early. A memorial campaigner reports that she worked three hours and raised only forty-eight dollars. We do not know that with a pair of domestics. Grades go down when the moon comes **up**. On Other Hills Freshmen of the University of Kentucky raised a pledge of $4,000 toward the proposed stadium.
