WHAT'S YOUR STANDARD OF MEASUREMENT?
Mrs. Gordon-Canning's party was the outstanding success of a brilliant social season. Nothing ever can possibly make Mrs. Gordon-Canning so happy as the mention of that party...
The parson requested Elliott, the shoe clerk, to help out by passing the contribution box. Elliott tries to look matter-of-fact as he passes among the phew. His wife can tell that he is very happy. Elliott realizes that the parson is a perceiving fellow. . .
Mickey got his diploma yesterday, His mother is watching for an excuse for a fight with Mrs. Riordan because the latter said, "Well, well, Mickey" instead of "Congratulations, Doctor Hogan." . .
One wet night for three hours, Sherman waited in a clump of bushes because Hank Rogers had called him a "dirty radical." After he was through pummeling Rogers, Sherman felt happy. . .
Ask Judge Buell, the village drug gist, if he didn't know Pershing. After pretending for an impressive period that he is lost in thought, the Judge will say, "Huh, what's that? Yeah, I know Pershing Hey, Jed, is the noon mail out yet?" . . .
When Sir Isaac Newton was an old man he remarked that his much-heralded intellectual attainments were but a pebble picked at random on the seashore of knowledge.
It is argued with manifest reason that Francis Bacon wrote the immortal poems generally attributed to Shakespeare. So erudite was Bacon, it contended, that the writing of poems of even such distinction was to
The young school-child regards the letters of the alphabet as units when reading. For the grown person the word is generally the unit. But, by practice in mental attitude and eye focusing, Macaualay, Roseveelt and Lord Northernia made the paragraph and sometimes the page, their reading units.
Few men attain prominence in any field of endeavor. Leonardo Da Vinci was pre-eminent as a musician, an engineer, a sculptor, a writer and a painter. His writings predict with accuracy scientific facts which are being accomplished only in our day. But Da Vinci realized his limitations.
On climbing from an airplane from which he has seen his town ten thousand and feet below a small-town banker exclaimed, "My God, isn't a person an awful small thing?" A village banker is imperceptible as such from ten thousand feet.
The noteworthy difference in people is found in their sense of relative values. Very probably great men have a habit of wondering how their efforts would look if viewed by a superior being across a distance of space of time...J. J. O.
OVERALLS
What a cheerful and totally delightful sound the word "overalls" has?
What food recollections the word re-acts to memory?
Webster defines overall as "an outer garment, especially one for rough wear or for wear in bad weather." Despite the dry and somewhat wearisome definition given by Webster, overalls bring very definite and concrete memories into our minds.
During our childhood days what was more pleasant than to get a large pocketfull of oatmeal cookies, and only an overall pocket could hold enough to satiate our youthful appetites, from
the high cupboard shelf where they were so secretly kept, a handful of sugar lumps, and stout out into the orchard and dream of the days to come when we would be so rich that all we would have to do would be to eat cookies and candy all day long.
During the threshing season when returning to the bins on a load of wheat, our chief delight was to pour the wheat down our overall legs and watch it run out over our wiggling toes.
captains the reason for the popularity of the overalls: "A real he-man was born for overalls. Or to put it differently, overalls were conceived for man. They are of all clothes, the most comforting and comfortable. They breed
democracy. They encourage ease.
Wearing overalls, you have handy
pockets for whatever you may wish to
carry and you never have to worry
about the creases in your trousers. You
assurance that all the stains will
'come out in the wash.' An un-
adulterated man in overalls is as happy
as a boy who has been able to can
aside his shoes and to go barefoot."-

THE HUMMING BIRD
With the arrival of the sweet-scented flowers of spring, comes the tiniest and fraarest bird to extract the honey from the nectaries of the flowers and to devour the minute insects that are attracted by the sweet aroma. The
tiny humming bird is always announced by the peculiar sound made by its almost invisible wings.
The humming bird with its brilliant
The humming bird with its brilliant plumage of a changeable metallic color, and its long graceful lines seems to pose in midair above the bushes and
tition it darts off a few yards and resumes its pose or disappears entirely. The suddenness of the apparition, and its brief duration are alone enough to make this thing worthwhile.
mind's eyes. Surely any one who is apreciative of the wonders of nature recalls the dribil of his first sight of a live hummingbird.—R. J. K,
The man who said, "The most arent cord will fight for his home, but no one ever shouldered a gun in defense of a boarding house," must have eaten at a student boarding club.
Dress designers in England believe that breeches will soon take the place of skirts, May we ask what will take the place of breeches when styles change again?
It is suspected that a *lot* of students who casually tell you that they always have "dinnah at six," when it home yell, "O maw, when'll supper ready?"
"Life's darkest moment" is at hand for the summer student who tells up the Hill, only to find the seminar closed.
K. U. has three baseball teams laying in the Twilight League, but parapenalty the average summer student is more enthusiastic
There is one redeming feature about the slow progress of the Hillbund street car. It affords plenty of time to the student for a general review of the ensuing subject to be dealt with.
Star-gazing parties are becoming popular on the Hill these nights. However, not all of the "gazers" take advantage of the telescope.
School student is more enthusiastic over jackstraws or tiddle-de-winks.
"Pi," the jovial bulldog, has strongly refuted the statement that he is dead. Had he acknowledged the fact, the journalism department would no doubt now be in mourning.
The thoughtful summer student suggests that a few quizzes be reserved for the diversion of the winter students.
We wearn for the good old days when rhubarb a la mode was plain old-fashioned pieplant pie.
There is one luxury that the chem-
istry student cannot afford; to work
too long and too hard in the lab.
We would like to feel sure that Japan's negligence in answering Uncle Sam's last letter is due to the lassitude which comes with ho weather.
When meeting the librarian, the student who carries a reserved book from the Library feels like Rastus whose stolen rooster insists on crouching.
Uncle Sam should doff his hat to his peers, the K. U. profs. They have solved the unemployment problem .
With the transplanting of eyes now being worked out by scientists, the school boy may now have a real fear of the teacher with eyes in the back of her head.
With the theories of hennessy eggs and costless living and the assurances of peaceleas wings and fireless heat, about the only thing a man really wants on a summer afternoon is a workless 'job.
What is so rare as a honk in tune?
The magazine class writing that failed to choose a housewifey magazine as a favorite may be excused by the fact that, under present style conditions, girls seldom grow up any more.
Some common folks are skeptical of the Einstein theory because of the assertiveness with which it was advanced.
No, no, it isn't his salary that makes a learned professor modest and approachable
Now that we are sure to have a place in which to play the K.U.M.U game next Thanksgiving day, it seems that a fitting dedication would be a good beating for the Tigers.
The man who said, "My kingdom for a horse," hasn't anything on the student in a quiz who says to him, self. "My last cigarette for a pony."
"What's in a name?" we ask, Well, it depends upon whether your name means dollars. And then we say, "Beauty is only skin deep." It isn't that deep, when the peripatence makes little rivulets down through it in the summer heat.
About the last word in preparedness is wearing a winter coat on the Hill these mornings.
Another explanation as to why students are not cutting across the campus this summer : There are a lot of new ones here and maybe they are afraid to. They think "Pi" will get them if they do.
"School teachers," remarked an ex-member of the dignified profession, "make up for their grave demeanor of nine months by acting foolish all summer."
Some professors assert that a certain percentage of a class should be flunked, basing their claim on the calculation that so many in every class do flunk. By the same token, it is assumed that a certain percentage of board-club members should starve, because a number of people in the world starve every year.
With the new stadium in which to conduct the cooking process, a lot of folks are going to prefer Tiger meat to turkey next Thanksgiving.
Preachers who try to make their congregation think hurt the charge that all who attend the movies do so because they do not have to. Think. Those who happen to be awake wonder why the preacher isn't a movie fan.
A certain town in Ohio has broken into print because it has a clock which will not strike on Sundays. We might lay claim to the distinction of having a clock which not only refuses to strike on Sunday, but any other day of the week, as well.
There is one time in life when a disappointment is pleasant—when one is expecting a flunk and finds that he has knocked the course dizzy with a D.
It's a good thing for jiggs that George MacManus hasn't found out about the brick piles around the Hill yet.
An article says that professional tea and wine tasters do not smoke, as it might affect their palates. They do not have to refrain from smoking in this country except for the purpose of tasting tea.
The dust storm that was encountered by a vessel while in the middle of the Yellow Sea, enroute from Japan to China, would probably never have been encountered if Mr. Volstead had been aboard ship.
Who said the days of '49 had passed? Another gold rush has started far into the sub-Arctic.
In most parts of China it is con-
tary to etiquette for a husband and
wife to appear together in public.
Why go to China? That is almost
the case in this country.
Speaking of hobbies, or weaknesses,
mine is fishing. And when I explain
my system you will give me the laugh,
for I haven't any. I know nothing
about the fussy flys and tackles that
you buy in a store. My methods of
Operation are simple, very simple —
about the size of a young lake, a cane
caching pole, and a tin can full of
earthworms.
My Pet Hobby Is— FISHING—WHAT'S YOURS?
I usually use the fishing fever suddenly; anything from a canned oyster to a mosquito bite will bring it on. I sit down on the bank under a tree to snip up and arriving at the pond, I sit down on the bank under a tree to bite up. This operation is distasteful to me, because as long as there is food available, I will not batten. But worms come before fishers.
Even if one does not have a nibble it is good to sit by the water and watch the funny skate bugs skimming over the dark surface, or to be the butt of snakes' and turtles' curiosity and many and lively. They crowd each other for room on my hook and work devastation among my worms. Thus
