WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1923 The little bowl inside a man's hat is a relic of the time when they were all one size and had to be adjusted to the wearer's head. Such a disappointment for the girls who thought they were made for memory books! THE CLOUDS RISE That the light of reason has at last penetrated the clouds of revenge and hatred which have enveloped the French people since the armistice is evidenced by the proposal in regard to the German reparations tangle submitted Tuesday to the conference of allied leaders at Paris by Premier Poincaré. The proposal calls for a reduction of German reparations to approximately twelve and one-half billion dollars and offers to Germany a two-year moratorium with productive guarantees to insure resumption of payments at the end of the period. Until the rally conference which opened Monday, the French have repeatedly refused to consider any reduction of reparations from the amount set by the allied reparations commission following the Spa conference in 1920. Despite the evident fact that Germany would never be able to pay such a huge infidelity, the French insisted that Germany be compelled to pay and advocated military occupation of the Rhine in case the movements were not forthcoming. This attitude, held to steadfastly through several inter-arrived conferences, was threatening to disrupt the Entente on the eve of the present conference. It was this danger that caused the French to modify their s.and. Memory of the France-Germany war of 1870-71 and of the German methods of collecting an exorbitant indemnity following, has lain dormant in the mind of the average Frenchman ever since. He has never forgotten, he has always feared the German empire and he has wished all these years for revenge. The French have been following the old German policy. They hoped by hure reparations to remove the German menace—economically politically, and militaristically. And as Germany isolated France immediately following 1871, so the French wished to isolate Germany. But the French, from Clementeau to the common peasant, failed to remember that in reality the German policy failed; that the German attempts to isolate France eventually caused the solidification of the Entente. In like manner the French policy was on the verge of disrupting the Entente and in securing for Germany the advantages which France herself gained through the Bismarckian system. But the French have at last heeded the warning of history and the reparations tangle is nearing solution. The change of front will undoubtedly react in favor of France. Christmas cigars and New Year's resolutions may be worn out as jokes, but nevertheless, as long as wives give Christmas cigars husbands will make resolutions.

Everyon THE PAGEANT IS OVER New Year's eve was celebrated Sunday night in every city and village in the United States and in many countries of Europe. Do you remember when you were a child and someone told you to do something you didn't want to do, and you sat down in the middle of the floor crying and screaming? When finally you had made enough noise and someone tried to pick you up, how you bit, and scratched, and kicked and fought? Yet even your childish brain knew that you had to mind sooner or later,—but still you fought. Celebrates Sunday night in several cities were like so many children. They were breaking the law, yet they fought. Prohibition agents in hotels, restaurants, and theatres, who were watching for liquor parties in many cases were beaten by angry inebriates. Nine-inch alligators are replacing toy dogs as pets with the Cornell sorority women. These kids are easily carried about in one's cost pocket and are still new enough to cause quite a sensation when they stick forth their grinning heads from their resting places. Alligators are less than an elephant-day chooser, they only eat meat on a regular month. They are then fed on a piece of raw meat which must be forced into their mouths by prying open their jaws. HOW THE WORLD REMEMBERS Women in evening dress dress fought the agents with bare fists at the Hotel Muehlenbach; one woman succeeded in blacking an eye for a detective when he was particularly uncovered. A genuine riot took place at the Hotel Chase, St. Louis, with both men and women at asking the dry agents, Chairs, glasses, epilery, knives and lamps were thrown at the raiders who were compelled to withdraw from the hotel for reinforcements. Two letters believed to have been written by Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, describing the destitute circumstances of the martyred president's family shortly after his death, have been discovered hidden in a secret panel of an old roosewood bookcase in New York. The letters were written to the president of the Central Trust Company, which headed a loan fund for Lincoln's widow. DOROTHY GOODMAN, President. F. W. BLACKMAR, Faculty Adviser. A few enterprising students have indulged in alligators which are ever two feet long. These have proved to be a problem, as the only way they can get rid of that and hold alligator* and water at the same time is the bath tub. It wasn't that the officers were attempting to take something away which was necessary to their well being; it was the stimulus of liquor that pushed the rioters into the former belief that the officers were interfering with a fundamental liberty. The Pageant is over, and many are glad that New Years comes but once a year. Some get wear a childish grip. The first letter dated the day after Christmas, 1865, and signed "Mary Lincoln," reads: "We are homeless, and in return for the sacrifices my great and noble husband made, both in his life and in his death, the paltry first year's salary is offered to us. Such injustice as has been done us calls the blush to any true, loyal heart. I am humiliated when I think that we are destined to be forever homeless. I can write no more." It is almost invariably thus that the nation and the world remember and repays the sacrifices of honored heroes. "Punt formation, Dean Brandt back!" whispered the former football star as he left the office of the Dean Jagger. "Let's do the ceremonial rites of dismissal." Plain Tales From The Hill William Allen White, our contemporary at Emporia, says that he has ordered some pajamas to be of bright green shade, with pink stripes over the ones. He also made for the modes riot of colors for my sleeping garments," the editor said, "as well as my shirts, is that when ever I buy anything decent appearing, my son Bill—a junior in Harper's means we out when he get home."

Breathes there a mrn with soul so dead. A suggestion for the improvement of one of the departments in the University was given recently by one of the students. He proposed that in the class in oriental history, incense be burned to make it more realizable. An en overprising "kansan" cub reported a story on the recent "pulandering" in the security and fraternity houses. He probably meant "pilfering," as our old friend Webster informs us that "pulandering" means "harmless and rather foolish love." He also said that if it isn't possible that the reporter had unconscionedly stumbed on the true state of affairs. Who never to himself hath said, "Guess I'll cut and stay in bed"?

He wrote the book *The Smart Sisters* calls him a bouncer, but goes on to pay high tribute to his writing. Hewood Broun, the author of *Training Out* in 1954, is another great writer of the Chicago Daily News, says "Trapping On Life is a truly distinctive story that should rank with the great biographies of the earth." Kemp is now writing a second novel, producing plays in New York, having published a narrative drama built around the Don Jumon legend, getting drunk with life (and sometimes with it) in the city. This book would make an ideal New Years gift for any friend who is not afraid of life and its many varied expressions.
