REDUCING THE ARMY
Everyone is agreed that nationa economy should be the watch word during the period of financial depression through which we are now passing. Also some of the most clear-minded of our national thinkers are of the opinion that there are some ways of effecting economies which are not real economy.
The task of cutting down our army has been going on quite brisly since the Armistice of 1918. In a remarkably short time after the signing of the armistice, the army dropped from a size of approximately four million men to 175,000. Then Congress became more economical still and made a further cut in the army reducing it to 137,000. Now the opinion of the War Department, based upon the $o_{2ion}$ of experts, that an army of 130,000 represents the absolute minimum in size and consequently when Congress again comes along and wishes to cut our national defense down to an army of 115,000 men a howl goes up from every army expert. General Pershing, who had previously plained for economy and a small army, went to see President Hadding and asked that he do what he could to check Congress in its reckless career of economy.
The public should not take these army experts as jingoists. Intelligence in reducing the army is needed as much as it is in any other national question. The purpose of military legislation should be to preserve the minimum organization requisite to perform national police work and, in case of an important war, to defend the country until new armies could be raised and trained. The essential of such a program is the retention of a skeleton organization. An army which lacked the men to train new levies in any one of the important divisions would be fatally defective. It would, for example, be absurd not to make adequate provision for a skeleton artillery or air division. General Pershing and President Harding have argued that a total force of 130,000 is the least which can bear the burdens. Their counsel should be heeded.
A GOLF TEAM FOR K. U.
A GOLF TEAM FOR K. U.
The golf enthusiasts on the Hill are wondering why K. U. does not produce a golf team. And really there is no reason why we should not have one. Among the students there are players who have enough ability in golf to qualify in state tournaments against a hundred entrants. A person who can remain in a state tournament after the qualifying round could give any other Missouri Valley Conference player a respectable trophy.
Last year, Iown State had a team, as did Nebraska University. Missouri has no regular team, but is planning on one this year, so now would be a good time for K. U. golfists to appear.
This year the Valley Conference track and tennis meets will be held at
LAWRENCE. Competition for the golfers could be arranged for them with little expense to the University.
If enough people stir up favorable sentiment for a golf team, K. U. will place one in the field.
THE EDUCATIONAL VALUE OF TRAVEL
Nn't it likely that the easiest solution of the Plesiosaurus hunt that is going on in South America would be to use the money raised for the hunt to launch a prohibition campaign.
The modern tendency is to stress the educational value of supervised travel. It is recognized as one of the greatest single factors in education. Dr. A. J. Armstrong, Head of the Department of English at Baylor University, Waco, Texas, for fifteen years has been stressing the value of foreign travel to his English students, and he has found that inestimable cultural advantage has accrued to hundreds of students who have gone with him to Europe.
This year, in addition to his general European tour covering the best part of Europe, Doctor Armstrong has formed three parties for especial study in the modern languages. One which will spend the summer at Dijon, in the University and then go to Switzerland and Oberammergau, another similar trip to Spain for the purpose of study at the University of Madrid and getting a very satisfactory idea of the country and a third to Mexico for the purpose of studying Spanish in the University at the City of Mexico.
For these foreign travel courses majors will be given in recognized American Universities on the strength of the certificate secured from these foreign Universities. The prices are very reasonable varying from $400 to $885.
We wonder how liberal the shoot trust was with the professor who is urging us to walk on all fours.
EFFICIENCY—150 PER CENT
If anybody lost any money at the recent tournament it wasn't the fault of the system. Because the system was as air tight as an electric boil, an alumnus of K. U. a former member of the Advisory Board of the State High School Athletic Association, and one of the most prominent educators of the state made the mistake of losing his identification tag. The door keeper had never seen him before and stood firmly on his orders to be no responder of persons. At first the miscant tried jollying the wooden one but when the latter
the wooden one but when the latter took a firm grip on his coat lapels, the better to detain him, the joke eased to be a joke.
Some one recognized the gentleman's plight and vouched for him to the unnolled boy at the gate. But the incident had made a more or less distinct impression.
You can't blame the system and you can't blame the poor boy at the gate. No one but a keen student of psychology could detect the difference between a college student who wanted to save two bits and a well dressed man of forty-five or fifty.
THE RADIO TELEPHONE OF THE FUTURE
No one can say exactly just how far the new interest in radio telephoning will carry us. The new craze has seized whole communities just as the "toddle" did a year and a half ago. Small country towns are beating that two or three new "sets" go in every day. If nothing else, it's wonderful for the wireless manufacturers. Pretty soon a man walking on the street will not have any excuse for forgetting to mail his wife's letter if he can sweep that he was not "listening in" at the supposed time. A man named Proffit in Washington, D.C. now claims that he has secured a "hook-up" that enables him to hear practically any ordinary conversation in his city. He hears the centrals and the busy signals. We suppose above all if he does hear the wire phone he does hear the busy signals.
If this invention will live up to its claims, he will surely be living up to his name.
Just the last couple of months has brought out this wonderful invention among the amateurs. What next?
Kansan Krackles
A hold-up victim was saved in Kansas City the other night when the would-be bandit discovered that his victim was wearing a certain brand of fraternity jewelry. Evidently when Greek meets Greek it saves one of them his roll.
It has been suggested that as a warning to flunkers, we change the name of our paper to "The University Daily Kans 'em."
"From Bowyer to Movies," reads a headline. But why feature that? People have come to the conclusion, anyway, that most movie stars come from some where in that locality.
Heavens! John Dodge has been disheartened by his father and will have to worry along on a paltry million dollar settlement.
If it is true that too much liquor was the cause of strange prehistoric reptiles in the Patagonian wilds, then it is strange that we haven't had a few such discoveries in the wild interior of the United States.
Considering the quality, size variety, and interest of the Oread Magazine, it can well be said that it is the one periodical which represents the craftsmanship of K. U. students. Salute the Flag
There is a case on record in which the cost to the county was $25,000 to convict a man of misconduct in office. The punishment was a fine of
$100; and still some people can not understand why our taxes are enormous and public debts enormous.
At the rate Geronny's printing presses are going, it seems she intends to make her mark in the world.
A flank movement is understood in this country to be one directed against the hlp.
If Italy's so worked up about that little scapot, why not just let her Flume?

This new university in northern Alaska ought to have a popular "sumer session."
Dr. Martha Tracy, dean of the Women's Medical college at Philadelphia, advocates the use of dumb bells for painting roses in the cheeks of young girls. She's probably right,

for painting roses in the die cheeks of
young girls. She's probably right,
but what did wants "roses" on her
feet.

It has the cleaning effect of the warm bath, as well as the tone bracing qualities of the cold one.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Professor: What makes it possible for men but not animals to use fire arms."
The discussion in psychology class centered on man's use of firearms in fighting.
Woman *student*: "Men's thumbs have developed $s_0$ that they can use them to pull the trigger."
Useful Thumb
The man always made it a habit to kick his bunkie out of bed in the morning, and missed that it was just the natural thing to do. One night, not long ago, a high school team arrived at the house after this particular man was
Still Kicking
The next morning, the man roiled over, and, still rubbing his eyes, kicked the bed-mate out on to the floor. What was his consternation to see the face of a perplexed and perfectly normal person? The floor. It was the high school principal who had come to the tournament with his boys.
Will Be Popular
The student was just getting home from Kansas City in the wee hours of the morning.
"I am going to be the founder of a society," crowded the disgruntled person as he viewed the Phi Beta Kappa list, and "the first thing a perennial must do is to flank at least three hours of work."
"Where've you been?" demanded sleepy roommate.
"Down at the city."
"Tell me, boy," mumbled the roommate. "is the same man driving the 'back down there now?"
Professor: "No invention is really new in the strict sense of the word new."
Dumbell Student: "Professor, you surely forgot Eskimo Pie."
The University of Utah has begun to raise money for a union building to be similar to that of Kansas. Each student is expected to contribute one dollar and the sum raised in this way will be used as a nucleus around which funds for the structure will be collated, the building will contain offices, buildings and bowling rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, and an auditorium.
