The Daily Kavanah aims to picture the ideal man; he should be keen to go further than merely promoting the news by standing for the ideas of others; he should be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be patient; to be more serious problems to wiser hands; in all to serve to the lead of its ability to grow.

THE COLORED STUDENTS
In the University scholarship standings which were made public a few days ago an organization of colored men took second place among the national fraternities. The mark set by that group is a demonstration of the fact that becomes more apparent each year—that the colored students at K, U, are an orderly and earnest group.
The French women suffraghs are such high disappointment. They are taking defeat like good sports.
But the fact that they themselves recognize the problems is all to their credit, and their own evident self-sufficient and pleasant social life cannot but inspire respect, which such a scholarship record as their recent one increases to admiration. The record of the colored students at K. U. is one which neither they nor their Alma Mater have reason to be ashamed.
Things have not always been made easy for them. Some of the social problems arising from race have resulted in situations and practices that are intrinsically unjust to them. They been: a part in the expenses of activities in whose benefits and pleasures they have a very limited share. The fact that no solution for these problems has as yet been found does not alter the fact that they result in things which must sometimes rankle.
"PUT THE AMERICAN FLAG ON THE SEAS TO STAY
The fight for the ship subsidy bill, as launched in Congress by President Harding, is more than a fight of one man for a pet project, and greater than a fight of leader against his party. It has to do with the future prestige of our country on the seas, with the future welfare of a country which is linked on every turn with the foreign trade of the world.
The whole matter resolves itself into a series of questions. Shall the government continue to operate a merchant marine with an annual deficit of 50 million dollars? Shall private shipping companies continue to be crowded out of the business by a government with a great fund to draw upon to meet deficits? Is there no justification for "ship subsidy" when business is protected by tariff, and vast programs inaugurated for the improvements of roads, and canals? Shall the American flag vanish from off the seas of the world?
"Yes," says the opposition, mainly representing the farmer faction, which thinks only of taxes and high prices, and forgets the value of an efficient merchant marine even to an interior section.
"No," says the President, whose aim has become the planting of "the American flag on the seat to stay." President Harding, in his plea to Congress, appeals to that body to be reasonable and to close its ears to the hasty conclusions of people at home. But Congress gives every indication of doing quite the opposite.
Under the subsidy plan, the government would expend 20 million dollars a year, where now it expends 50 millions. Under the present system of government operation, private shipping companies are crowded out; no new ships are being constructed; the American merchant fleet is becoming obsolete. When that process is completed, our flag will have vanished from the seas of the world. Under the subsidy system of President Harding, graft would be impossible, for when the earnings of a shipping company on its investment, exceed 10 percent, then half the earnings above that point shall be paid back to the government to repay subsidy advances. If the mercantile fleet is sold outright to world shipping concerns, the government must sacrifice every ship. If it remains under the operation of the government, 50 millions of the taxpayers' money will go to pay off the losses incurred during one
"Subsidize private shipping companies; stabilize our merchant marine," says the President. Congress is deaf to his plea; Congress is blind to the importance of the question which confronts it.

YOUTH IN AGE
If you live, what will you be doing at the age of eighty-one? Will you be active, young for your age, and anxious to be prepaptly busy? Or will you be in the group, which Mrs. M. J. Patterson of Marshall, Missouri regards as the sadstest thing in the world to her "those old people who give up and just sit and wait for the end?"
Mrs. Patterson, the eighty-one year old reporter on the Marshall Democrats-news, until one year ago cover her "run" on foot, and now handles it from her bed. She sends in three batches of live news a day with the regularity of a clock and her interest in people never flaggs, for it is the lively interest of the born news-gatherer. The story of her life will also relate how she managed, besides her thirty-three years of newspaper service, in which she won the place of being one of the best reporters on the paper, to be a good wife and mother and to keep up musical activities as well.
Is not a useful, active life beautiful and inspiring to the younger generation? Here is a life of uncasing devotion, a love of work and fellowmen and an example for her followers. The newspaper field can be justly proud of its loyal workers. Mrs. Patterson truly exemplifies what true nobility really is.
William Kendall, Jr., although just thirty years old, has been admitted as a freshman to Northwestern University, Exumston, Illinois. The Chicago lawyer offered him a position as feature writer during his spare time.
A thirty-inch string of pearls has been offered by the yell leader of the engineers at the University of Washington for the best yell or set of yellls for the engineers. The contest is open to all University of Washington students. The wearer or the winner of the pearls will be announced at the next engineering assembly the latter part of the month. The burning question at Washington is "Will an engineer wear the pearls?"
On Other Hills
Ten freshman girls who broke the penal code imposed by the sophomore girls of the University of Arizona were prized by being forced to wear large bright green paddleboard earrings, an extreme surplus of rouge, and large placards bearing in distinct lettering the words, "I am an alien," and so on. Ten freshman girls have to wear these all day they were required to attend assembly in a body where, as their names were called out, they had to rise.

Plain Tales From The Hill
Employer, to young man applying for a position: "The man I employ must be well posted. Do you read the newspapers?"
Applicant: "Yes, sir; that was the subject of my thesis in college I read the bound volumes of several newspapers for fifty years back."
Professor, to class: I stayed up until after twelve last night, and worked on six o'clock this morning, just for you.
Student: Yes, and we did the same bing for you.
From the number of paddles scattered over the Hill and the students who are taking unusual care in sitting down we suppose that organizations 'have been' initiating a few pledges.

"Hum," muttered the student after the work was done, I " didn't think that a prof had anything in his office that was worth stealing."
At The Theatre
Featured by Ali Leading Merchants
"I am thanking you not only for your wonderful applause; that has been fine. But I am thanked you also for something which is still biger and better, and that is your sympathy—your understanding and compassion in the situation when the nurses do not do half the work." Those are a few of the remarks made by Olgia Petrua in an exceptionally clever curtain speech given at the close of Act II in the presentation of "The White Peacock" at the Bowersock Theater last night. Miss Petrua addressed a few words to the audience only when, with round eyes on applause, it refused to let her go.
Quite often it happens that the theater-goer leaves a dramatic production feeling that he has witnessed acting of the highest caliber; sometimes he comes away with a profaned regard for the author of the play; but it is not often that he feels the potent personality of author and actress wrapped up in one. Miss Petrovna's work is the presentation of a part that she made, and she puts her soul into it. However, it was not the finished artistry of her acting that so much mattered, even if not all of course, in the interpretation of a difficult charm. But it is the simple charm of her manner that always people—her grace, her pleasing accent, her voice and expressive hands.
The "White Peacock" centers about a Spanish romance, and the action takes place in Seville. Olga Petruza plays the part of Rovette, the wife of

don Miguel, an old Spanish scoundrel, a high official in the government of that country. Revette, learning of her husband's misdealings, leaves his household, and finds residence in another section of the city. Don Miguel, who attempts to use his authority under the Spanish law to bring his wife back to him. Then comes Don Caesar, a role presented by Mitchell Harris. Maddened by a false accusation of crime to the point of brazen defiance of all law, he enters the rooms of his sister, and attempts to make love to her. Lastly, he come friends, and the drama unveils itself in a pleasant way.
The third act was marked by the brilliant work of H. H. McCullum, as Rafael Roderigues, the drunken eutroat, who for stated sums did Don Miguel's several killings. The scene in which Revente entices him into remaining with her until the police arrive is perhaps the best of the play; two talented actors carry the action through to its criminal end. Mr. McCullum is easily the star among the men of the cast.
Robert Briarer and Mitchell Harris as the husband and the lover of Revette saw fit to interpret the parts of the Spaniards in so realistic a fashion that they seemed to be themselves. The reference is to their articulation: Many times their words seemed to
fairly tumble over one another,and it jarred a little on the audience.
"The White Peacock" deals in a quietly dignified fashion with a subject of utmost delicacy. With somewhat the same stately sweep of movement that characterizes Nathaniel Hawthorne's drama presents some of the fundamental truths of life. There is a lesson there.
