A TRAFFIC SOLUTION
Recently a number of people on the Hill were "gripping" at the fast traffic on the campus which seemed "to be so regardless of walkers. As they put it, they knew they were only "contemptable pedestrians", but just the same they did have their rights.
Now the law of Lawrence is cutting quite a swath. A person can cross in front of Green Hall now, because as a matter of finances the drivers have slowed down. A man can afford to pay has fifteen once perhaps but "never again" is what most of them say.

"Have you a little ghost in your home?" is, we suppose, the latest query around Antigosh, Mich.
KANSANS GRIN AND BEAR IT
All is not sunshine and sunflowers in Kannas. There are a great many ways in which those who enjoy the privileges of our greatest of states is called upon, at the beck of fortune to pay for those privileges. Kansas is subjected to the most withering of droughts, the most destructive of windstorms, and the most devastating of floods.
Very recently the town of Burlington paid the price. Located on the banks of one of Kansas' wild-water streams, this little town of twenty-five hundred souls was swept down upon in the middle of the night and ravished by destructive waters and desolate watched a slow dawn creep upon them to disclose a loss of five lives and more than a quarter-million dollars. Hundreds were left homeless and penillest by the disaster.
And the solace that we Kansan's find is that, as always, Kansans "grin and bear it." The world, that morning, was shocked with the news of this latest disaster down to the most minute details, but the world waited three days before a single plea for outside help was sounded out of Burlington. Like true Kansan, they "gimmed and bore it."
Kansan have an hereditary right to this quality of ginning and hearing it. Retired and nurtured under the most heart-breaking of disadvantages; harried by the merciless savage while they were back-blitten by internal eminies; watching crops dried up or destroyed first by drought and then by plague, the pioneers of Kansan passed down an indomitable spirit that is and should be our proudest heritage.
Burlington had and was conscious of that heritage. Under the cruel blows of fate she played the game and upheld the Kanaan's trust creed to "grin and bear it." Our hand to her for her spirit!

THE PASSING OF JOHN B.
Sensational news stories of raids on liquor joints, arrests of bootleggers, and constant reports of the activities of alleged booze rings is sufficient to confirm the suspicion in the minds of many that the eighteenth amendment has thus far been a failure. To all outward appearances liquor still flows freely in certain centers. It seems to the uninformed that the only change is in the difference in selling methods and the price.
ESTHER DAVIS TAIT, Secretary.
To a certain extent the attempts to prevent traffic in intoxicating liquor have been unsuccessful, but recent investigations prove that the actual consumption of booze has been cut to a surprisingly small amount. It is generally conceived that total cessation of liquor traffic cannot be accomplished immediately but according to the most recent data available the United States is getting only 24 per cent of the amount that it got before the advent of the eighteenth amendment.
Instruction in bowling is offered to the women of Cornell University.
With a minimum decrease in consumption of alcoholic liquors of 75 per cent to show for less than three years' trial the drys should feel quite optimistic over the future of the eighteenth amendment. It is a creditable piece of work and the 75 per cent soler man might just as well make up his mind to bow to the hard cold fact that it is only a short time until there won't be any liquor left to drink. The supply is getting low in many big centers and reputable bootleggers find it difficult to fill large orders. Bootleggers without conscience will cause stuff that is rank poison are doomed too. As soon as the public becomes educated to the fact that the stuff they peddle will kill the consumer, this type of bootlegger will have to quit the business. It won't be so profitable. Perhaps after all the prohibition's dream is about to be realized and his millennium close at hand.
The public records show that every month 927,000 gallons of whiskey are drawn from the bonded warehouses as compared with 8,000,000 gallons before prohibition went into effect. The stuff that is made by moonshiners and the balance that is smuggled across the borders into the United States could not possibly equal the amount that is drawn monthly from the bonded warehouses. A conservative estimate then would make the drinking public 75 per cent sober and proves that the masses are not drinking as much as they did formerly because it is not to be had.
The idea seems to be prevalent that the law is a fiasco; that it won't work; that because it is not rigidly enforced it should be repeated. That is exactly the wall that is being set up by the individuals that the law has hit in some way or another. The very fact that the wall is so loud shows that it is treading on someone's toes and therefore is becoming effective with startling rapidity to be reached.
Vanity Fair says that England claims no authorities in the game of Bridge. Since there are as many bridgeplayers in England as in America for the size of the country, it must be that our experts haven't played long enough to know that they don't know anything about the game.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Notes on our Splendid Shower Cherchez L'Homme.
An army of umbrellas comes marching up the HILL. An army of umbrellas, weapons, companies and squads. An army of umbrellas fills all the sidewalks.
Oh Man walks in the mud and water.
Where is Man?
Man wants to preserve his vision.
Phase 2
one rear rank of a squad of girls advances down the wooden sidewalk in front of Ad with a great waving of red tassels and green scarfs, and a deafening chatter of shrill voices. Man tries to escape the ornush and leaps from the sidewalk. His foot trip on an oncoming galosh and Man falls on his right ear in a delightful pile of pebbles. "Voe victis!"
Phase 3.
But man is an optimist. Dodging myriads of umbrellas swayed by the Amazons and absorbing the splashes of heavy galaxies fores and aft he remarks to His Fellow Sufferer, "This is fine for the wheat!" His Fellow Sufferer, his face clouded for a moment by a blank stare, gives way to the Light, and they advance stoically, their faces beaming respectively as Napoleon and Hannibal when they crossed the Alps.
Student's Health Code
Smallpox
The recent outbreak of smallpox in Kansas City followed closely upon the American Legion Convention in that city. The assumption is that a traveler from a distant state brought in an undetected case of the disease. In one scathed and severe cases reported from widely separated points.
For several years only occasional severe cases of smallpox have developed and as a rule it appeared in so light a form that physicians had difficulty in recognizing it. As a result the disease spread to many countries and dread of this source, Health officers however, have not lost sight of the fact that any time might bring a flare up o fite形语 virulent type of smallpox, and they have realized butter than anyone else how many cases of penalty if it one gets a good start.
The students of the University of Utah are launching a Union Building now, "A dollar a student" campaign in full swing will form a nucleus around which the other funds will be raised. Small celluloid buttons are on sale for one dollar apiece. They will be used to help the Utah Student Union." It is played by the students驾驭 of the progress of the drive by announcing on a signboard the number of dollars contributed—Utah Chronicle.
Dr. Force and Dr. Leake of the United States Public Health Service have demonstrated that smallpox is dependent on the popular vote. "In general," they conclude, "the people obey the laws which they have made. If popular sentiment in a state is behind a strong centralized compulsory vaccination act, smallpox is negligible in that state." In the days of early American journalism, Professor James Melnin Lee tells us that news sheets before having them delivered. Today the public spirited newspapers contribute effectively to the control of smallpox and other diseases by the more rational method of disseminating the facts and stimulating intelligent citizens to protect themselves their children and their community to insist on the enforcement of the vaccination laws, and to back up the health officer who does his duty. Experience proves that if smallpox ever gets into a community, it will likely on a community, it will temporary stagnation of all business.
Experience proves that if smallpox even of the mild type, once gets a rib on a community, it means the temporary stagnation of all business. Among other and better reasons for fighting it, smallpox does not pay.

How do they get that way?
ASK the man with the big income his "secret of success," and you will generally find that it is some copy-book maxim known to everybody.
"Be sure you are right, then go ahead."
"If anything is in your way, go over it."
"Learn something about everything and everything about something."
Tritie! Anybody could give you as good advice. It simply means that success is not a problem of discovering some obscure short-cut. The path is plain enough, but only alertness, energy and self-discipline will push you along it.
All this holds a special force for you because what you do at college will influence what you do afterwards. If you start right, the chances are you will finish right.
You can begin now to earn your place in the high-salaried class. Each honest day's work in laboratory and lecture hall will bring you nearer. It will help you to master the fundamentals of your profession — so that later on you may handle problems more easily and make decisions more quickly and surely.
Then and only then, in proportion as you clear your mind of detail, can you give time and energy to those larger questions of policy in engineering, selling, management and finance which fix the executive's market value.
