THE TRIAL OF MASCULINE TEMPERAMENT What's wrong with women? Why should every Sunday newspaper, every magazine, and not a few ministers point out so regularly what a trilay they are to the masculine temperament? Following his recent dip into the matrinomial sea, Rodolph Valentine gives an interview to a popular magazine in which he gives in some detail what he considers the characteristics most becoming in a woman. Time and a new Mrs. Valentine will tell whether Rodolph chooses as he talks. "How to Keep Your Husband," "Ten Don'ts for the Housewife," and a wealth of other printed advice is offered the woman who is unintentionally ruining her husband's career because she creates the wrong atmosphere for his masculine temperament. Life three thousand years ago had its advantages. The ancient Egyptians were forbidden to eat onions or garlic. CONVOCATION AND TWO HOUR COURSES The University has been favored with at least one conventation a week for the last few weeks and the students have been glad to get back to them. But the fact that most of the conventation hours have been set on either Tuesday or Thursday has been causing havoc in two hour classes. It is appreciated that the administration has to get the speakers at the time that they can come but the fact remains that the two hour classes are cut to thirty-five minute periods so often that it is causing inconvenience. Of course the students are often glad of this as an excuse for alighted work but when the time comes for them to take a quiz in thirty-five minutes they do not do themselves or their subject justice. Sometimes it is possible to postpone the quiz but more often it has to be given that day, and in order to cover the work the questions remain the same and the work is slighted. The faculty feel it more deeply in trying to get the whole course presented in the time allotted to them. Extra class sessions may have to be called in order to get through, some of them say. We want and appreciate the con- vocations but it would be a good thing to distribute them a little more evenly. We feared as much. We are always accused of it. When Lord Robert Cecil sailed for home he said he has found a "vigorous idealism" in America. Can't we ever live that down? Admiral Sims says there is no proof that German submarine commanders fired on open bonts containing the survivors of torpedoed vessels. Probably not. The proof didn't survive.

CHILDREN OF ADAM If the whole population of the world were distributed equally over the earth's surface, there would be nine persons to the square mile. Think of that! Nine people to each 540 acres. C. T. ELVEY, Instructor in Astronomy. The world wasn't made right. Think of the spots on the old sphere where humanity lives in such swarms that death must be the fate of many. Think of the teeming millions in China trembling on the edge of famine every year. Think of the Indian peninsula with its hordes of multiplying humanity. Think of the crowded races who jostle the shores of the Mediterranean and spread over into Europe. Think of the cities in America where humanity crawls over the pavements like myriads of busy ants and lives in tiny cubicles one above another in huge boxes that verge the skies. Then think of the vast wastes of the Sahara. Think of the broad unpeopled interior of Asia. Look at the limitless tundras of Russia. Within the confines of our own nation, we have thousands of square miles which will not support life. How much longer can man live thus? The whole inventive mind of man must be directed to prevent the reaching of the saturation point. New food supplies must be discovered; new diseases must be combatted. The world remains to be conquered. That the news of the fall of Troy was carried in the same manner from Mount Ida, across the Aegaean sea and thence to Argos, in Greece, we have the evidence offered by Aeschyus in his "Agamemnon," which he wrote in 489 B. C. When the Greek expeditionary force marched against Troy, so the story runs, Agamemmon, king of the Argives and leader of the expedition, promised to send the news of the fall of Troy to his wife, Clythemnetra, by the signal fire method. In the tenth year of the siege Troy A Paris woman has had a sheikh's tent set up in her drawing room to remind her of a recent African camping trip. If she were in America we should say she was trying to attract the handsome Rudolph. This is the age of marvels — the airplane, radio and others—yet when Captain Roald Amundsen, arctic explorer, makes his proposed airplane flight past the north pole he will let the world know of the start of his flight by means of a signaling system that was known hundreds of years before Christ. THE NEW IS OLD When Amundsen leaves Wainwright, on the northern tip of Alaska, for the flight that the world is watching with interest, the news will be carried to the nearest radio station—four hundred miles away—by a chain of bonfires tended by Eskimos. Pairs of Eskimos will be stationed at intervals of about fifteen miles, and when each pair sees the smoke rising to the eastward from them they will light their own fire and relay the news on to the radio station. Historians tell us also that signal fires were often employed by the armies of those days for communication. fell, and the waiting queen was able to appraise the citizens of the victory before Agamemnon came home by announcing that she had received the news in such a manner. This, for all our inventive genius, we now want progress, our advanced scientific achievements, we will are involved in methods of the ancients occasionally. The United States doesn't possess 250,000 miles of railroads; they have the United States. GUNS AND MURDER Who should have the right to carry or have guns or dangerous weapons to use for what ever purpose they choose at their own discretion? The possessing of firearms is a part of our liberty. It is within the law and cannot be interfered with. Marvin Harms, 20, and Mary Samson Harms, 28, have moved to Kansas City, Mo. Their street address is 1452 Hyle Park avenue. Mr. Harms is now with the Ferry-Hanley advertising company. A few days ago a father shot and killed his son and only child, mistaking him for a burglar. A day or two before a boy, 13 years old shot a roomer who later died as a result of his wound, because awakening in great fear he mistook the idoler for a thief and intruder and shot him. These are but two of daily早 happenings in Kansas and Missouri, while in the United States there are hundreds within a month. Of course no sane person intends to shoot his friend, child or relative, but many may. The reason is that a gun is in the house for instant use in the protection of life. How many more times the wrong person is shot. How many times the unloaded gun kills. If statistics were available, it would be interesting to study the proportion of accidental deaths and wrong persons killed, to actual lives saved and criminals captured through the possession of fire arms in the average home. Everett H. Fixley, '21, is now a student in the graduate school of education at Harvard University. His research on macacchus is 1838 Mass, Cambridge. Basecom C. Fearing, '22, has moved from Kansas City, Mo., to 402 Caldwell-Wurdock building, Wichita. Jayhawks Flown The most so those who in the race are licked. Plain Tales From The Hill Fewbrainz—When I got up to speak in oral interp talk my mind seemed to be completely blank. Morebranks—How natural! Byron anny Beery, 200, 600 Oh! is teller in the Merchants Nation... Bank. After leaving the University, Beery worked about a year in a branch of the Lasson Industrial Bank at Falls River Cal. He came back to and summer school at the University before taking his Lawrence position. Uneasy lie the heads of all who politic A great number of students are being placed in wonderful positions for the summer. For example selling books, cooking utensils, brushes, and so forth. Here is the way it is done: he picks up a pen and starts writing the head, interest him a bit, lead him gently into the trap; then jerk the pen and quit. , Laura C. Carroi, fa '16-17, known on the stage as Lila Sanderson, is another summa making a name for herself in the theatrical world. Miss Parrott is taking a lead in the musical comedy, "Go, Go," which opened at Daly's Sixth-tyrond theater; New York, March 12. She is a companion to the play under Mr. Leslie E. Baird. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Parrott, 3924 Hyde Park avenue, Kansas City, Mo. A little fun now and then is enjoyed by the best of college professors. Suppose one would sit at a table expecting an evenly balanced four courses dinner, and the waiter should first set before one a huge sorry glove. Then he does the professor commit who begins his courses with a long drawn out story from day to day3 of just what he has done and expects to do; then ends his course by smapping on the beeds with bits of the text. Raymond Ferguson, 22, and Mavis O'Brien Ferguson, 22, are living in Topeka. Mr. Ferguson is employed as International Harvester "company." Warren B. Cooksey, 22, is enrolled in the Harvard School of Medicine. Clarence Bennett, e21, who has been doing civil engineering work for the state highway commission, recently resigned his position in Topeka to accept work of a similar nature with a construction engineering company in Springfield, Mo. After a period of 49 years, authorities at Mommouth College, Momouth, MII, have removed the barrier and Greek letter societies are being established. The local sororities are already occupying houses. Momouth is the birthplace of two national sororities, Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Gamma. In 1874, however all Greek letter organizations were banished from the college. Violation of the honor system during an examination caused a student at the University of Oklahoma to be suspended for one term.
