The Daily Kansaan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news by standing behind it; to offer more opportunities for violets; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in order to benefit the best of its ability. We aim at the University.

WELCOME, HOMECOMERS!
How's every little thing? My you're looking fine!
Come in, take off your wraps, sit down and make yourself at home.
How does the old domicile look to you? 'Course you won't remember the Stadium or the new power-house foundation—they're some new improvements we've made about the place—but you'll recognize the Hill, and a good many of the faces.
We want you to take possession of the old home
and while you're here.
WE'LL TELL THE FOLKS—
We have come upon a solution. The reason the typical southern negra says "rider" instead of river, is that "v" and "h" are so near each other on the typewriter keyboard.
We'll tell 'em that there are good reasons for the abundance of academic cripples this fall.
We have had a deluge of convocations smothering our academic interests. But most of the convocations were for good purpose. We have had "drives" that drove us away from our studies. But most of the drives were worth while.
Neverthless, we are going to finish the term in good form; after we've eaten mother's Thanksgiving turkey, why shouldn't we?
TEACHING CHINA TO SMOKE
American manufacturers are using aggressive methods in trying to teach young China to smoke.
A missionary writes from Chinktang, "As we were on our way to church on Sunday, we saw a great crowd gathered on the hillside all looking in one direction. The object of interest was a balloon sent out by an American tobacco company. It dropped paper ribbons, each of which entitles the finder to a box of cigarettes, and thus the habit is started with those who would not otherbuy."
Some of the finest boats on the Yangtze are owned by the same company, and these go up and down the great waterway selling and advertising and making a sensation. Sometimes an agent will stand at each end of the narrow street and give a cigarette away to every person who passes. By such means as these there has been created a great demand for American cigars.
Women smoke as well as men and boys.
The number of cigareta exported into China last year was more than 7,000 million, against 700 million six years ago.
China, in her new birth, has done away with opium and foot-binding.
China looks to America for guidance more than she does any other foreign power. Not only our government, but our habits are becoming objects of emulation.
America will certainly have a great deal to answer for if she permits tobacco companies to fasten this Western curse upon the new republic of China.
"BE POLITE TO CENTRAL"
"Outside, please."
"Hello Central. Pardon me for interrupping you. If you please, I'd like to spar to 295."
"No, Central," I do not make myself clear. Two n-i-n-e five."
"No, Central, not 255; 295."
"Yes, that's it."
Br-B-r T-rr pop! (Ear drum pops).
Victim fails to uninjure right ear.
"Hello, is this 295? Pardonne, I've gotten the wrong number."
"Hello, Central. It pains me to bother you again, but somehow, due probably to a fault in my enunciation, I failed to convey the proper number. It is 2-9-5."
"Yes, that's correct."
If F-T-F-F pop! (Right ear drum is shattered.)
(To - pr- i-nte.)
"Hello, hello! Hello, Central! Hello."
"Are you there Well I'll bet you think I'm the greatest old pest in town, bothering you all the time; but the truth is, Central, I have rather defective hearing, and I'm afraid I didn't hear 2-9-5 when they answered."
"Yes, I admit that, Central. I'll bet you are overworked. Gosh, I don't see how the telephone company can exist with resident phone rentals only $2.50 a month. Such a pittance is an outrage. I suppose the company's finding it hard to make lines meet. That's quite a nun, isn't it, Central?"
"By the way, I wonder if you'd forgive me if I asked you to call 2-9-5 again?"
"No, Central, not 5-9-5; it's two-nine-five, t-o-
nine five! TWO NINE FIVE!"
"No. Central, it's T-W-O N-L-N-E F-L-V-E!"
"I'm certainly an insect to annoy you this way, Central, but I guess it's because I have such a cold that you can't understand me. Well, goodbye. Hope you have a pleasant Thanksgiving."
Plain Tales from the Hill
REALIZATION
A slight frown appeared, a thin line, between her beautifully plucked eyebrows. A little twitch moved her lovely mouth as if some thought of pain had come into her mind, and her married the Indian summer placidity which commonly held sway in that region of her anatomy.
And then all was catm and serene.
But look again. A dark stormy expression, full of evil portent spread across her features and in their wake a face pale with the emotion which shook her soul. With a supreme effort she obtained mastery of herself, and grieved for her life. She had insisted with such ghastly insistence to her mind. She would not have it so, it could not be.
But even as she struggled, dark agony with commute fhril pulsated into her pain-drawn features. Her mouth, white and taunt, showed all too plainly the anguish which seured her torn spirit and threw her into such paroxysms of torment. Terror blinded her eyes, she staggered her brains, biting her brain, stifling she foam she three herself into a chair and burst into racking, blitter spasms of passionate weeping.
Her vaccination had taken!

Edwin Hullinger, 177, who is United Press correspondent in Russia, recently had an extensive interview with Emmia Goldman which was widely published. In it he described how he said that he expected to be stationed at Moscow.
Dorothy Ettwinne Kerby, fa17, is at present at Clay Center, where her address is 925 Court street.
Homecoming week at the University of Washington is scheduled for the week-end of the Penn State game, December 1, 2 and 3.
Edward Mason, '17, now a Rhodes scholar at Lincoln College, Oxford, spent the summer in France and Germany, and in a letter recently received by Prof. John Ise, of the department of economics, he says that the Germans show a very friendly feeling toward Americans, and especially our troops on the Rhine, Germany, he says, seems to be suffering less than the industrial depression of 1860 and is virtually unremoved from the poorer classes there is extreme want and wages are low. The recent assassinations of government officials had no more alarming results than "knocking the nose off the Bismarck statue and pulling down a few sings."
Mount Oread Slants at Other Hills
That the University of Michigan is becoming "not a poor man's college but a rich man's school" is the charge under investigation by a committee appointed by the university faculty.
It is claimed that the high living expenses at Ann Arbor make it impossible for many to attend their state university, and are forced to go to small schools where ving costs are lower.
K. U. isn't the only college where the various religious organizations fall short in their campaigns for financial aid. The Y. W. C. A. fell $291 short in a rent campaign at Coe College.
Posters urging the observance of Better English Week has been distributed at the University of Washington
GLACIAL ICE ERODED MT. OREAD IN PAST
One of these lakes, which he names "Kaw Lake," was at Manhattan, another at Atchison, and the largest one, which he names "Washington Lake." It is in Washington County. These lakes are all made by a mat-ter company that digs for glacial gclation, and distinct deposits have been found proving this.
During the pleistocene period the Wakaraus River flowed on the south side of Mount Oread, and Mount Orced extended over part of what is now Lawrence, according to a new bulletin which Prof. J. E. Todd of the department of geology has written. An area in northeastern Kansas and north of the Kansas River was at one time covered by ice. This bulletin shows the exact location of the mountain where the location of at least three extinct links, of which was some 100 rules square.
New Geology Bulletin By Professor Todd Contains Interesting Data on Kansas
The University of Wisconsin students have adopted a "Silver Dollar Day" in order to raise money for a Memorial Union building. The idea originated at Ohio State University where $20,000 was raised toward a new stadium. At the homecoming game between Wisconsin and Minnesota, a team won three games and stands, for silver dollars, in an attempt to swell the Memorial Union fund from $500,000 to a million.
Three Sisters Hill, which is about five miles south of Lawrence, is one of the highest hills on the south side of the Wakarusa River. On the top of this hill is found glacial material such as cobbies and boulders, which are entirely foreign to this country, and which have come from northern Iowa or southern Minnesota. Professor Todd believes the stones were deposited by the ancestral Wakarusa, when it was flowing at a foot of the hill. From the top of the hill was then the bed of the stream. Since then the stream has shifted to the north and this remnant is left behind.
Mount Oren at the time the Wakaraus had its bed on the top of Tthree Sisters Hill, extended over what is now Lawrence, and has been worn back by slight but continuous erosion of streams.
If the alumni were to return to the University 500,000 years from now, they would probably find it necessary to make artificial embankments to save the Hill, according to the bulletin.
The goose had been carved and everybody had tasted it. It was excellent. The negro minister, who wanted to be a captain could not retaliate. big, enthusiasm
"Dat's as fine a fuse as I evah see, Bruder Williams," he said to his host. "Whar did you git such a fine goose?"
“Well, now, pashon,” replied the carver of the goose exhibiting great dignity and reluctance, “when you preacher a speshul good sermon I am going to give you it. You hopes you will show me some consideration.”—Success.
