Speaking of combined industries, why should not the Flicker Electric Light Company of Lawrence combine with some oculist?
LAVISH AMERICANS
There is no need to say a word concerning starving Europe and famine-striken China. The world knows it—or should know it. A statement, coming recently from the Treasury department of the United States, is, however a cause for comment.
People of the United States spent more money in 1920 and the first nine months of 1921 for luxuries than in any previous corresponding period in our history. More money was spent for cosmetics, tobacco, for candy, and, in spite of prohibition, more for liquors. All of this is at a time when there are more than 5,000,000 men in the United States out of work.
Is it not well that we stop to consider how we spend money? So long as we are spenders, let us be wise spenders.
University students, safely tucked away here for nine months of the year, are prone to forget the outside world. We forget that we are the privileged consumers of wealth.
Some of us could not totally eliminate our vanity—our imposing trips to the City, our visits to insipid movies, our pompous and impressive attendance to vapid dances and stilted parties—but we can cut down on the frequency of its manifestation.
Does it get us anywhere to spend four or five dollars in an evening of entertainment? Surely not, when we realize that:
1. European students are literally starving.
2. China is famine-stricken.
4. Those who strenuously object to the present social order are in prison.
3. Millions of men are out of work
—and we, the people of the United States, spent more money in 1920 and the first nine months of 1921 for luxuries than in any previous corresponding period in our history.
How she must long for "th' good o' days!"
The first snow has come, and with it the winter season is unkened in. This is the season of bare trees, bare bushes and white lawns. Every bit of tiny life that lived in each tuff of grass or knot of leaves has gone on into the life of eternal summer, or changed its form so that the cold of winter cannot touch it, or buried itself deep enough to catch the remaining summer warmth in the winter earth.
THE WHITE HAND
The autumn days are gone. The golden rod by the ditch banks, the scarlet and yellow leaves of the trees, the crimson berries of the bitterwet, all advance guards of winter, are gone. Today we crush them underfoot unthinkingly as we tramp through the fields and byways. Forgotten are the days two months ago when we walked this same way and saw these same things in different form. Then we carried home a sprig of this or a bit of that, and now the sister of that bit or sprig we trump upon without a thought. We say "Remember when this bank was green," or "Remem-
minis are the gerns of a new spring, the visions of fresh green banks and more scarlet berries, and we love them!
It is our lesson, this giving up of each year's birds and flowers and friendships, this looking ahead for those that are to come.
It is alright to enter by knocking but you don't have to keep it up after you get in.
"It is a wonder woman don't talk more than they do," ponders a sage. But they do.
Plain Tales from the Hill
ONE AND THE SAME
The quiz question graced a West Ad board recently:
1. Explain fully the theory of stationary movement and
    motion of the ball on a track.
a. in relation to Mars
c. in relation to Venus
And some studen, probably from the depths of a much tried soul had appended the following:
2. If it takes a peg-legged woodpecker ten minutes to drill a hole through a twenty year old cedar tree, how long will it take a knock-neck grasshopper to knock the seed from a dill pickle.
A former student in the University, a Phi Psi, and,
quite a lady-fusser, was said to have offered this ex-
perience to the University.
DISAPPOINTED IN LOVE
"Just blow on the girl's neck while dancing with her—that will make them fall every time."
"Huh, it would take a regular tornade to make some of them fall?" skeptically answered one who was泣哭.
A head in the Kansan reads "Kansas Writers Celebrate." Now of course that sort of thing is done even in the best of families as it is even in the worst, but when it comes to boasting about it—and playing it up in headlines as something to be proud of—well, it would seem that it is a little going too far!

Ira Davis Crofton, '05, died November 23 at a hospital in Hays, where he had been taken following an accident at the ice plant, which he owned in Russell, the night before.

Charles W. Lovelace, a student in the University from 1900 to 1905, now a resident of Kansas City, sailed November 26 for the British Isles where he will carry on his work for a British oil company. After attending the School of Engineering for more than three years, Lovelace left here with a reputation as an athlete. He played baseball and football, but was prevented from taking part in intercollegiate contests because of a professional connection in baseball. He played in the Pacific Coast League for one year.
