There is one disadvantage to the fine new paving on M. Otread. They need to have to slow down for the chuck holes.
A WAR GRAFT
Writing in the current issue of the American Legion Weekly, Marquia James exposes the air-craft scandals caused by the World War, and tells how contractors got rich off fat contracts without producing any American battle planes for use on the front.
"Who Got the Money?" is the title of Mr. James's article, and he tells how the government expended one billion dollars on a nigative aviation program, yet not a single American-made fighting plane reached the front, and these were observation ships of the DH-4 type, or "flaming coffins"—so called because the minute a bullet struck the gasoline tank on such a plane it caught fire immediately and another name—or two of them—was added to the casualty list.
Mr. James tells how automobile manufacturers and others who got aviation contracts opened Uncle Sam's purse and took from there a stream of gold. He names the Packard company, the Lincoln motor company, and the Dayton-Wright Airplane company as chief offenders in this respect. He has figures and statements to back all his exposures. He shows how several companies were paid enormous sums for the production of each plane, received bonuses charged the government for new equipment and depreciation on old and even charged cigars and entertainment to the government!
And some of the men who were responsible for this graft were the so-called "Dollar a Year" men at Washington, whom the country lauded to the skies as swivel-chair patrons. They received a dollar a year in salary, and several million on the side.
They caused American aviation to be a joke on the other side, when the allies 'hid first looked to the United States to win the war in the air. Am. american aviators were forced to use old, cast-off planes that England and France had condemned. Thousands of lives and millions of dollars were lost through the thievery of "patriotic" manufacturers and officials back in the United States. Hear Capt. Eddle Rickenbucker, premier American ace, before a Senate investigating committee: "Many a gallant life was lost to American aviation, the responsibility for which must lie heavy on some guilty conscience."
The air-service contracts were not the only ones which were crooked either, as any soldier who wore contract raincoats, slept beneath contract blankets, and ate contract "mon key meat" will testify.
Who are the chief opponents of the federal bonus bills today? No one but our friends the war profiters—the lads who fatten their own pocket-books by thinning Uncle Sam's during the war and after. They are the chaps who are responsible for the loss of thousands of lives; they are also

KARL KLOOZ, Chief Clerk
The regular meeting of the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and
ciences will be held at 4:30 tuesday afternoon in Blake Hall lecture room.
COLLEGE FACULTY MEETING:
CLASS IN ITALIAN RENAISSANCE:
By mistake the course in Mediaeval Culture was substituted in the schedule for the course in Italian Renaissance. If it can be arranged the course will be changed back to the Italian Renaissance and if the change can be made students who were desirous of taking this course may still do so by applying to Professor Patterson at 9:30 Tuesday morning, provided the change does not dislocate their enrollment.
They would not think of acting in such a manner if they had a job at stake and wanted to hold a reputation for being calm and sedate and well brought up. But in acting like ruffians while in college they are liable to jeopardize the remainder of their lives. A habit once acquired is not easily broken. Being a gentleman in this country is merely a matter of training; it is not a matter of birth.' And after one is in college, training is merely a matter of self-discipline.
F. H. HODDER, Professor of History.

TYPHOID INCOCULATIONS AND SMALLFOOD ACCUMULATIONS.
Typhoid Inoculations and Smallpox Vaccinations will be given at the Student Hospital during the regular Dispensary hours 8:30 to 12 and 1 to 5:30. All students are urged to take these precautionary measures.
TYPHOID INOCULATIONS AND SMALLPOX VACCINATIONS:

Big business is fighting the bonus, and well it might. If the bonus was passed it might lose a few dollars of the illicit grains of the war.
Here's looking at the youthful Poni who offered to sell the university buildings outright to some verdant freshman for fifteen dollars cash.
Chancellor Lindley's sound advice given in his address during the first convoction will probably be heeded by the freshmen more than the upperclassmen. The first year student is more receptive to such counsel, while the sophomore, junior and senior are likely to nod their heads in wise approval without even giving the chancellor's words a moment of consideration.
E. SMITH, Physician.
SOUND ADVICE
It is fortunate that this is the case, for it often is true that older members of the student body are in need of advice just as badly as the first year students. But of course the freshman usually is made to bear the whole load.
Chancellor Lindley's words should be uppermost in every student's mind as the new year starts, for the "first thirty days" are truly the hardest. A firm determination to meet adverse circumstances is one of the best and finest trails anyone can possess.
The spirit of democracy, so often referred to in speaking of the traditions of Kansas, includes the whole student body, but it comes a little closer to the upperclassmen than to the freshman. For if any person is tempted to be the least bit undemocratic, surely it is not the lonely freshman, but some student who has spent two or three years on the campus.
RUFFIANISM
College students have enough of a reputation for being barbarists without them perpetuating it throughout their lives after they have finished school. Some students, while they are here in school, go about with the air that they are the king, and that the "king can do no wrong." They push each other off the sidewalk into the mud and laugh about it. They burst into rooms without knocking. They interrupt conversations without the slightest semblance of asking for pardon. They tear and rent the air in a fashion after crude western cowboys at a fourth of July round-up. They shout in the middle of the night and let out heinous bursts of laughter. They do this simply because they are college students. Being a college student covers a multitude of broken etiquette records, in their estimation.
It may be a lot of fun to act crea-
now, but in later years it may lose
you a job; it may disgrace you; or
it may cause you to lose your私身
respect. So be not so obsessed with
the idea that a college education is
only a training for the mind. Let it
be a training for manners also. Let
some who knows how to do it trim
off those rough edges, and you must
take the trimming conscientiously.
You know well enough how to be
rough, but a knowledge of refinement
is a much greater asset and it is
more apt to get you farther in the
world.

LAWRENCE STEAM LAUNDRY Water as soft as melted snow
Better pennmanship for every one—without effort or fatigue—on any paper at a study, at classes or at lectures.
Mr. Parker achieved it by producing a native Iridium point as smooth and life-endurance as a jewel bearing, and a leak-proof barrel with a grip that is balanced with scientific precision and symmetry.
Such perfect poise and super-smoothness in writing relate the nerves of tension. The Duofold glides under the skin with no visible cracks.
What George S. Parker has achieved for students with the 25-Year Duofold
THIS lacquer-red pen with jet black ink is not only handsome and gold—it's a perfect claustrophone for the artist.
Yes! Writing without effort!
We will let you have the Duofold for 30 days to demonstrate. You'll never be content to write the old way after that. Even before they tried this 25-Year point, 62 men in 100 chose the Duofold for its classic beauty and balance from a tray of assorted pens. Its popularity has never been equalled.
You think of only what you're writing—not how. So your thoughts come easier, clearer, more composed.
Oversize Duofold—a real HE Pen holds a double ration of ink, $7. Duofold Jr. and Lady Duofold at $5 are like it in every save size. Come in and try the points on the canoe, coarse and stub. Students are always welcome here.
