The Daily Kansaan aims to pio-
ce the student's learning on the Uni-
versity of Kansas, to go fur-
ward in the field, and to stand for the ideals the student wishes to instill; to be cheerful orators; to be invocation; to be cheerful out; to leave more anxious prob-
lem with the right of his ability to succeed to the right of his ability to succeed.

TO OUR MOTHERS
Thousands of mothers were cheered by a little message, a letter, a flower, or a kind word yesterday. Mother's day should be every day; but as the complexity of modern life makes this impossible, each student should no fail to tell his mother at this time what a debt he owes to her.
As students, we are very apt to allow the pressure of work and pleasure to take up so much of our time that we neglect to think of those who make it possible for us to be in the University. Many mothers with sons or daughters in school did not receive a little token of appreciation and love yesterday; many more did not even receive a thought. Many flowers appeared, some red and some white, but all too few.
It is not too late, however, to tell that mother that she is the best mother in the world. She will be cheered to hear that some one thinks of her in spite of his busy days. Do not disappoint her! She is the friend of all friends!
LIP ROUGE AND LEMON EXTRACT
Dr. Hamilton P., Cady tests the wisdom of women by the absence of rouge. His recent statement that "women of today are far less civilized than men" is as starling as a statement from a collection agency.
To date, no modern Knight has stepped forward to defend the intellect of the women who wear hand painted checks. Undoubtedly, there are men who have tested applied lip rouge, but they are remaining in the back ground. Discreetly silent, they are saying nothing in defense of the ones who mask their faces with a cosmetic veneer. The striking statement remains unchallenged.
So the war between the aces goes merrily forward. The professor's long range assertions have caught the enemy unprepared. But they will rally, and their charging lines of voiceration will throw mere man into a category with anthropoid apes and Gila monsters.
Verbal battles between the sexes is nothing new. Since the time when Ab, the cave man, pulled two hair of wisomsia Gugu, the sexes have fought an epithetic war. From his superior height, man points the finger of scorn at woman. At bay, woman whirls and strikes back with a withering stream of accusations.
In the top room of a tenement building, Mike O'Dowdy calls wife Bridget a fool for burning the butter beans. Bridget replies with the words "lazy spalpeau" and defy breaks a meat platter over her husband's head.
Up on Satin avenue, Montague Glassy berates his wife for her foolish expenditures. Mrs. Glassy re-
piles, and Montague learn that he is a gambler, an inspired, brainless tight-wad, with no love for his home, his wife, or the poor dog.
"Short skirts, daring waists,
camouflaged faces, illogical reasoning," shouts man. "Chewing tobacco, cigarettes, lemon extract, brutish brains," cries women.
Thus it goes, and the whole verbal combat is as foolish as painted cheques or cigarettes. With all sentiment cast aside and the cold facts carefully weighed, there is nothing that points to the superiority of either sex.
Man and women both have their failings. Their short comings, environment considered, are even balanced. To cure the evils that exist, each sex should try a little introspection.
OIL AND MEXICO
One of the arguments most strengthens advanced by those who are promoting interference in the domestic concerns and laws of Mexico is that the export tax on oil, of 10 per cent, based on its valuation in American ports after deducting the cost of transportation, is exorbitant, and that the valuations established on the market quotations are unfair and excessive. The "oil interest" insists that a tax determined on valuation in American ports on a Mexican product is wholly out of accord with the principles of fair dealing and justice.
Be that as it may, the reported determination of the Mexican Government to announce that in the future it will accept payment "in kind"—that it will receive the oil itself instead of the cash—is an effective aliencer of the allegation. Whether the disentering "oil interests" will agree to this change is not known, though it has been suggested that they will object, thus giving rise to the suspicion that tax paying of any kind is disagreeable and is to be avoided if possible.
By receiving payment in oil the Mexican government will be in a position to regulate the price thereof in a large measure, which should affect it a much larger revenue than the present system. But, without regard to considerations of this character, the fact that it would solve the present taxation difficulty would be sufficient reason for its adoption.

On Other Hills
stadium will be named for the state of Ohio. It will be U-shaped unlike most other structures of its kind, and will have two seating levels. It will accommodate 63,000 people. The boxes alone will accommodate 1,700.
The end of the structure will have a movable stage that may be used for various kinds of outdoor exhibitions. A large gymnasium, place for holding automobile shows and indoor theatricals will be provided beneath the seats. The end of the horseshoe will be placed on one corner toward America's largest college athletic ground. This field will include 20 baseball diamonds, five football griditions, scores of tennis courts and an artillery parade ground.
It is expected that the field will be ready for the opening of the 1922 football season.
Our Self-Sufficing Civilization Revealed In Appellations Gleaned From K. U.'s Student Directory
Our handy little statistician has been messing around in the Student Directory and has uncovered all sorts of data of which the following is in part:
There are more names beginning with S than with any other single letter, M and C come second. Q and U come first letters, and Z and Y come second.
There are 37 Brown and Brown's,
19 Joneses, 52 Smiths, 20 Whites,
28 Johnson, and 29 Millers. The longest
name has 14 letters and is Schollen-
berger. The shortest name has three
letters. Day, Hay, Rau, Uhl, etc. The
commonest Christian name among the girls
seems to be Mary, of which there are
37. John seems to be the commonest
name among the boys; there being 70
years old, he often wondered what would become of
K. U, if a great cataclysmic disaster
swent down upon the world and K. U,
alone was left to carry on human life,
but a glance or two at the Directory
would that it could be done very well.
To begin with we could have a Towne in which there were Houses, Barnes, a Church, a Hall, a Temple, in which could be hold Vesper service, in which could be held the Bicycle, Bedridges, Downs, and in the near vicinity we could have a Knoll, a Lake, a Marsh, (or a Saltmarsch), a Moore, a Mount, Bogs, a Cave, a Forrest, a Penn, a Pool, a Woods, a Hill, a Grave, a Glenn, and if the Shores of a river are not available we could either the Jordas or the Hudson. Our own we would call Denver.
Of course we would have to have some ruler or system of government. We could have a King and Queen if we chose, or if we were imperialist in our tastes we could have a Kaffer or a Shaw. If, however, being Americans, we preferred a president, we could have Adams, Washington, or Monroe. And we could have Alexan-ton, as well as the armies. There would be no Cleopatra to distract Anthony's attention. Since we are going to just have a Town, though, it probably would be best to have just a Maver.
We would not necessarily be with
ut religious faith since we would still
ave with us the prophets Ames, Paul.
The following are excerpts from the samphitio on "The present status of his honor system in colleges and universities," published in 1916 by the University of Chicago.
One hundred and twenty-three institutions now practice the honor system in all or a few departments.
In sixty-three cases the council (student governing body) is elected, in eighteen cases it is appointed, and in fourteen chosen.
of the 116 colleges reporting on final jurisdiction in cases of violation of the honor system, eighty-one report that final power lies in the faculty, twelve that it lies in the president and one that it lies in the faculty. In twenty-two campusplaces, paupers were spended or expelled from college without other authority than that of the student council.
The majority of colleges report that violations are "sidemode" or "rare," and they occur on a regular times a year. Only two large institutions have reported any considerable number of cases, the larger being on an average of ten per year—Curtis.
Sixty-four colleges and universities report that the instructor may be present or absent from the room as he may choose.
Frank Mobley, a senior at Colorado College, Colorado Springs, Co., has proved that permanent and total blindness constitutes no bar to the heights which a person who handicapped may ascend, for he has just been elected to Phi Beta Kappa. In addition to simply being a student, Mobley is also an all-time contender in all athletic contents, is an expert and is one of the best-liked men attending the institution. After graduation, he plans to practice lew.
The Delta Theta Phi, honorary legal fraternity, held a banquet at Wilde mans's tuesday in honor of Albert J. Haro, professor in the school of law, who is to leave the University at the end of the school year.
and Mattiex as well as the tales of Cain and Abell, and Inhaamel. Newton could carry on selentic investigation for us.
In our gardens we could have Lomis, Reeds, Iris, Roots, a Berry, or two, Core, Posee, Sage, an Herb, Oaken, a Rose Bush, and perhaps some other Posey, or Iry. We would have to keep out Weeds and Nettels.
William B, Cunningham, who was enrolled as a freshman in the department of Civil engineering, died of pneumonia at his home in Kansas City on March 14. He was coronied. Funeral services were held in Kansas City Wednesday afternoon.
He was presented with a large photograph of the chapter by the members in appreciation of the services he has rendered the school during the two years he was connected with it.
This would be a thriving Towne for there would be many professions and occupations represented. We could have a Banker, Carpenter, Cooper, Tinker, Weaver, Potter, plain work person, Baker, Barber, Barnard, Carter, Fisher, Farmer, Mason, Miller, Porter, Shepherd, Mason, Taylor, Yoean, and Hunter. We would have a Bowman to defend us and a Marshall or some other Officer to preserve Peace. If the Carrs got to breaking the speed laws, we would have a justice in court. We could have a Justice of the Peace also. Possibly a few of the rich would be able to afford a Butler. We would also have an Abbots Bisa, hoop, a Rector, and several Parsons. We would hardly have use for a Chambers. We would have a Stout and Strong and could do necessary work for the community.
If we wished to have a Zoo in our Park, we could have in it a Parrot, Woodcock, Hewk, Heron, Peacock, Crane, Finch, and another bird or two, Chickadee, Sparrow, Colt, Drake, Campbell, Lamb, Fish, and some Coons, and Lyons.
Pay Your Stadium Pledge Now.
Our year would consist of but Marech, May and August, but there would be plenty of Days and Knights Neighbors and Friends, Old and Young could chat during the Long evenings and have Samples of each other's Wines and Beers, for there is Amendment in the whole directory.
There would be all sorts of article necessary for our everyday life, Bricks, Cobbs, Ic, Cole, Cork, Wood, Felt, Fords, Glicettes for the Beards, Jewels, and Horses of Mice, Sheets, Keys for the Doers, Flint, an Shaad.
Even then thirteers would be much the same' and the young "Husband" would find that the Peele of the wedding was one too good for the downline of the Ball and Chase.
