"Song Writers are Hostile," warn the K. C. Star, if they become violent the worst they could do would be to write another song.
IS SPRING HERE?
This has been an exceedingly hard season on Spring poets. If any have attempted to eke an honest living out of his inspiration for Spring of 1923, we pity him. The old fable of the Lord and the Devil sitting in the cemetery counting out the people—I'll take this one. You take that one —was never so true as it would be were Spring and Winter counting out the days. Winter takes one, Spring takes one, but Old Man Winter has had the lead. Ye-derman came a genuine snow storm, today comes the sunshine.
Today it is lovely to lazily bask in the warm sunshine, enjoying the bursting buds, evidences of flowing saff, and taste afresh that pleasurable stirring inside of ambition and thourough contempt of inactivity. Yesterday and tomorrow perhaps, the warmth of wintertons coal, the comfort of the old overcoat and the satisfaction of possession in at least one glove and one pocket make life a bearable existence.
Our idia of a perverted sense of how to compliment, is that of the fellow who recently engraved President Harding's portrait on the head of a pin.
There is no doubt about it now. Spring is bound to come because it has never failed yet as far as history relates, but you should be warned, he is a tricky youngster. You should be advised against an early purchase of moth balls for the winter woolens, even though a warm summer day should be slipped in to tease and tantalize.
CLEAN UP; DON'T BURN UP
been proclaimed by Governor Davis as clean-up week in co-operation with the State Fire Marshall.
Fire losses in Kansas last year totaled $8,729,847 worth of property and almost 100 lives lost, which, with the exception of one year, are the greatest in history. It would seem that just at this time when economic conditions are in a more or less unsettled state that something should be done to prevent such an occurrence another year. And there is no better way of prevention than by every person removing every fire hazard within his reach and thus making the whole state fireproof. There is no doubt but that the loss next year could be reduced to 90 per cent of last year's. In thus saving life and property there can be no more laudable endeavor.
Trash and rubbish are the origin of the greater percent of fires. Any fire hazard will sooner or later bring disaster. The place to begin, then, is in the collars, attics, and allows. The summer season is coming on when the heat may so easily cause spontaneous combustion. It is also a very busy season when little time and energy can be given to cleaning thoroughly the trashy places. This is the time to make a
big cleaning and then it will be easy to keep it clean.
As a matter of fact, it will be better and safer for the trash wagon to call once a week at your house than for a fire wagon to call at all.
FIRST-CLASS POSTAGE
When porch swings begin to creak the young man's fancy has already turned.
Just a word or two, on a slip of paper or an interesting newspaper clipping slipped in the laundry box, there by saving two cents postage, may mean the investment of any amount up to one hundred dollars in the postal system.
Striter account is kept of this double character of matter in packages than the senders realize. In some cases in Lawrence, letters in the laundry cases have caused them to go as first-class mail, that is, two cents for each ounce or fraction of an ounce and the postage amounted to several dollars, which were also subject to a fine.
Then there is the matter of insufficiently addressed envelopes. People with distinctive names are apt to think that mail will naturally come to them without street address because no other person has that name. As a courtesy to postal employees, if not for the benefit of the addressee, all correspondence should bear the full address as well, as the name of the sender.
Greek letters look well on an envelope, but all postal employees do not know the Greek alphabet, with its various combinations and the street numbers of all Greek letter houses. A request was sent to students to tell their correspondents their street numbers, but mail continues to come insufficiently addressed.
Countless other observations of postal etiquette would increase the efficiency of the mail system, which is always criticized when mail does not arrive at the specified time.
Book Review
NEIHARDT, POET LAUREA1E
What Homer, the classic bard, died for Greece, John G. Neihardt, the modern bard, has done for America in a lesser way in his "Son of Three Friends," which won the prize of the Poetry Society of America for 1915. This epic is a blood-stirring picture of the fur-traveling period of the Trans-Missouri country, painted with a breadth of vision and $e$ care to small details that seems remarkable in one who did not witness those years himself.
The Song is the tale of three friends, Carpenter, the big blond giant of a man, Mike Find, the fighting, jesting Irishman with love so easily turned to hate, and Taiseau, the dark little man who is loyal to the point of murder—and the one other, "the Long-Knife's daughter."
She comes softly, this un-named woman, and in her trail she leaves hate, conflict and death. About her slender loveliness is woven the fateful events of "The Quarrel," "The Shooting of the Cup," "The Third Rider," and Vengeance."
In this poem, Nehardt has given us some imperishable bits such as the description of the prairie fire, the morning when the ice went out, and thirst on the desert. Such lines are: "Malevolent with thirst, the soap
blue:
—are indicative of the picturesqueness of the whole setting. In his action he makes use of such moving lines as these to describe Mike's diving:
Defiant of the rain-withholding blue."
Its barbed stillettos from the arid dust,
"Now suddenly the lean waist grows more thin,
The deep chest on a sudden grows more deep:
And with the swiftness of a tiger's leap,
ger's leap,
The easy grace of hawks in swooning flight
The terrible economy of might.
And beauty plunges outward from the brink."

Look, look, kind readers, at a few of the K. U. alumni scattered over this old U. S. A. “The Gaily Kanan,” a sheet published by the alumni of New York City in connection with their annual K. U. dinner given in October 2015, in a “Personal Monition” column, and add the following statement: “Sometimes pertinent, sometimes impertinent, but never peevish.”
The list as published by the Gaily Kansan:
Jerry Beatty, "the wife and the kiddies," are enjoying life at Hollywood, Calif.
Amie Robe has the distinction of being the wife of the man who ended the war three days too early. He cabled over the first armistice news.
Herbert S. Houlster's magazine, "Our World," recently published an article on the Russian theater by Edward Hullinger, K. U. man and former United Press correspondent, who was forced out of Russia when his news dispatches became embarrassing to the Soviets at the time of the Genoa conference. Mr. Hullinger is here now finishing a book on the N. E. P.-New Economic Policy—of the local alumni among the local alumni seem to draw as much satisfaction from Mr. Hullinger's observations on Russia as do the "White Guard" among our membership.
Francis Stevens is now covering politics, boottegging, and waterfront society items for the Hudson County Dipatch. Hoboken.
Hobart M. McPherson is still down among the Wall Street gang.
Webb Wilson, ex-football) man, is with the bond department of the Guaranty Trust Company, uptown.

The Japanese high school at Honolulu has opened a class in juijitsu for the girls at that school. This step was taken due to the many recent reports of attacks upon women and girls in Honolulu. From now on it is believed that any person who moists a Japanese girl will meet with a surprise. The class has an enrollment of fifty. The Japanese girls have been taught to believe that they will be able to not only defend themselves, but to inflict severe counter punishment on those molesting them.
Indiana students spend on an average of $782.12 a year, was the statistics given out by Prof. J. E. Mefat of the department of economics and sociology, at the University of Indiana, where women spend more than the men, women spend less money than the organized men and women.
Knickerbockers are more popular for men at Michigan this year than ever before. In the opinion of Michigan students knickers are more comfortable, require less pressing, and are more collegiate than the long trousers. The loose-fitting type they call "plus-four" are worn most.

Another romance busted:

He sighed and murmured, "I thought there was a joker in it somewhere."
The Sweet Young Thing remarked that her folks would be awfully glad that she had come to college because there would be ten pounds more of her when she returned than when she came.
She is the same one who answered the question, "Whose potato patch is that one next to your house?" with a smile. "Yes, we can use it any time we want to."
In one of the Lit, courses the professor embarrassed a bye asking: "Did we look at 'The Idiot Boy' in this class?"

On the Mountain Top
Climb the mountain—stand on the peak—and before you there unfolds a panorama extending as far as your eye can reach. Stay in the valley, and your view is restricted by the surrounding hills.
Some one might be selling a new, better and more economical food; or a utensil that would add immeasurably to your comfort and well-being; or some better material for shoes or clothing—but you would never know, because of your restricted view.
This newspaper—properly used—will guide you to the mountain top. Read it and your vision is enlarged. You get a bird's-eye view of world events. You glimpse the doing of the day.
Fail to use it, and your view is limited—you remain in ignorance not only of events at home and abroad, but of much that concerns you even more vitally—news of the very things that have to do with your personal, every-day life.
You may read every line of the news columns, but if you overlook the advertising, you are still living in the valley. You remain uninformed about many things you ought to know in order to live a happy, useful, profitable life in this age of progress.
