Many A Gay, Brave Powder Puff After A Long, Arduous Career Meets Nemesis at The Commons
Powder puffs! Immense, round, puffy ones, tiny, little flat ones and all intervening sizes and varieties are found on returned trays at the cafe.
What colors are they? Well, perhaps you boasted some delicate boudoir shade originally, but now all bear the same dingy, gray cloak of dusty, pinkish powder—and germ—and bacteria. Urgh!
I
The cafeteria employees consider the puffs as having long since passed through their careers of usefulness and dump them into the wastebasket.
Men may wonder what constitutes this useful career of a powder puff. If he reads carefully now—
When the soft white, or pink, or peach colored animal is first purchased, if the buyer is a discriminating maiden, she will see that the puff has been carefully sealed in a waxed paper envelope and guaranteed to be dust-proof, germ-proof and absolutely sanitary.
Then it receives its first powder bath and performs the following function of reducing the high lights on an bright and shiny nose.

REGULATE WIRELESS PHONES
Hoover Urges Convention to Govern Air Districts
Washington, Feb. 27. -Two new efforts of government regulation or wireless telephones were urged by Secretary of Commerce Hoover in a speech opening the National Radio Conference here today.
Thus it works on for months and years, day and night, in private or in public, making better or worse the personal appearance of its possessor. Opinions differ. A puff is a never cleanse, a dirty one will always be good. To do either would constitute an eight deadly sin, according to K. U. oo-eds.
Finally it reaches the fateful doors of the cafeteria, where one forgets all else while consuming delicious foods. Its contents are dusted freely over the table and served to everyone in one last effort to beautify herself before partaking.
The conference is to herald a new era of communication by marking out the naths of the air.
Hoover said the conference should work out a wave length schedule for districts instead of individuals and allocate certain times of day when the air may be used by various phone agencies.
There is no hope, according to However, that the wireless phone ever could be used as the present telephone between individuals. Hence, he believed the conference should decide as to what information spread by wireless telephones would be most valuable to the people.
"During the last four or five months the expansion of the wireless telephone has reached astounding proportions." Hoover said. "Our department estimates a minimum number of six hundred thousand wireless phones now in use in the country, to be over a million. There were less than 60,000 five months ago. We are today on the threshold of a new era of widespread communication."
But the odor of food is overpowering. She thrusts a fork into the sealed oysters and tucks her puff under the edge of a plate, successfully hidden by the green leaves of a Waldorf salad.
The University Women's Club will give a reception in Myers Hall. Thursday evening at 8:00 o'clock for all the faculty.
The genius of the American boy in constructing somewhat complicated wireless telephone instruments for a small amount of money has forced this issue before the American people." However declared.
The oysters depart, the salad also and everything else but the puff which lingers on, forgotten and forsaken in its wretchedness and fifth. Who ye with me had of fate, of fear, of death, thy fate-it, is a and one—the waste basket.

K. U. GETS COLLECTION OF OLD INDIAN RELICS Edward T. Fay Presents Paint-Pots, Hammers, and Spear Heads to University
An interesting collection of Indian relics has been received from Pottawatomie County by H. T. Martin, assistant curator of the department of paleontology. The relics were sent by Edward Thomas Fay, of Harris. Mr. Fay has supplied the department with time to meet with much good material.
Among the several dozen pieces which the collection includes is an Indian paint pot, made of stone. It is about four inches in diameter, less than one inch in thickness and holds a slight depression in its center.
"The Indians used these pots to hold paints for their faces," said Mr. Martin, "but the men, not the women, used the paint."
By The Way
Elizabeth Marrs, c25, spent Saturday and Sunday at her home in Kansas City, Mo.
One or two hammers are found in the collection. They are about the length of a man's hand and were used in battle. Mr. Martin has kept them by placing the stones and by filing deep rings round the circumference made places to attach the handles. Willow winters were hated and twisted around the stones for handles. Twenty or thirty fine bars, as well as more are also included in the collection.
Emily Conn, c23, spent Sunday at her home in Kansas City, Mo.
"The collection in anthropology is growing all the time," said Mr. Martin. In the last few years it has increased to such a great extent that an assistant to aid in caring for the collections is an imperative need of the department." Mr. Martin has sole charge of this work in his department.

A Straight Ticket
Is what you'll vote for Sandburg after you hear him March 7. You may never have read his books, but you'll read them after you hear the man. He's not a flowery dreamer; he's an entertainer! American folk—songs, haunting melodies hitherto unsung—are Sandburg's.
Sandburg is the songster of Chicago. Songs and poems of brawn and steel, of sweat and blood, of packing plants and steel rails are his. They are verses of life and work; of love and adventure.
Sandburg sings the unpublished songs of the army camps, of the lumber camps and of the cowpunchers' fires.
Sandburg is a poet of America—
