THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN GERMANS COP TRADE USE AMERICAN NAMES Sao Paulo is Starting Point o "Seize-Brazilian Business" Campaign Sao Paulo, Brazil. (By Mail). The effort of the German to stage a post-war commercial comeback in the war against Japan has his Han in any other in Brazil. As the leading center of the commerce of a fast-growing Republic, Sao Paulo evidently has been picked by the Teuton commercial missionaries as the starting point of its development. In Brazil it is evidence of a certain success is apparent. Shop windows are filled with German-made goods, including many articles which are flange imitations of widely-known American brands. You'll find here today is displaying a window filled with vacuum bottles. Each bottle bears—in large letters—the name of a highly advertised American company which makes toys underneath, however, is the telling mark "Made in Germany." A salesman for a big North American manufacturing company tells a story that gives a typical insight into German methods. This man sells heavy machinery and makes a special of machines for railway repair shops. Recently he called upon an important division shop here in an effort to sell a certain machine. To his surprise the former exhibited a奔驰 of his new machines. But the mark was there—"Made in Germany." "The only way I can explain it," says the American, "is that the German man copied this design before the war and had it ready for the market as soon as his ships were able to sail the seas again." Cutlery, plumbing materials, electrical fixtures and a score of other articles tell the same tale. They like American made goods until one hunts for the mark—which is always there—"Made in Germany." And Sao Paulo has a rather large and very active German population too. Immigrants have come in since the war and they are liked, because they work and attend pretty much to their own affairs. A group of husky young Teutons, cow-hide boots, infantry trousers, with shavows on their shoulders instead or riffles. How they get out of Germany with the uniforms is a question they can best answer. The German is proceeding quietly but surely in nearly every Brazilian market. The merchant, if he feels called unto to make an explanation; shrugs his shoulders and says: "It's good merchandise and his prices are cheaper than those of the Americans or the British." TRY McKEEVER'S PLAN FOR CITY CLEAN-UPS Peabody, Kansas, C. of C. Offer Prize for Best Plan Submitted Clean up plans to be carried out by the boys in any city or town of the state, with the object of improving and beautifying the ugly strips of ground lying within the corporate limits of the town and along the railroad right of way, are being investigated by the Chamber of Commerce of Peabody, Kansas, and a prize of $1,000 is being offered to the best plan suggested. This office will be directed through the department of the department of child welfare of the University of Kansas, and will be the owner of carrying out a long cherished dream of Prof. Wm. A. McKeever. In traveling through all parts of the state, Professor McKeev has observed that the most conspicuous view of our Kansas towns, witnessed from the railway train, are the trash strewn and ill-kept strips of territory bordering the tracks. Thus many many tourists are led to judge the town adversely because of this municipal dumping issue. After hearing the counsel, Professor McKeev began a plan of improving the above situation by using the boys, the Peabody Chamber of Commerce was glad to give it support. Any form of organization of boys may take up the work in behalf of their home town - boy scouts. High School "T" clubs, public organizations, or Sunday School groups. Boys and girls must work themselves and to induce property owners to clear off lots and lawns, repair residences and out buildings, and whitewash trees and fences. Each organization will be expected to attach itself to some local group of men to act as their sponsors. Also, it will be requested that the local organization maintain a website for a large bill board for announcing the progress and the projects of their work. "Cook That Pesky Dandelion" Home Economics Instructor Tells Spotted Yards Owners Red Hot "The Devil" Though the common dandelion is a pest to the minds of most housewives, and a troublesome weed for the husband who tries to keep up the lawn, it remains a fact that the dandelion is one of the most wholesome and nourishing of spring foods, accesses water from Violet J. Ande, professor of the home economics department of the University of Kansas. Dandelions are not mere lawn killers, says Miss Anderson, but when properly prepared furnish the most desirable mineral substances for the body. Dandelions have become recognized as one of the most valuable vegetable foods in supplying iron to the body, which is necessary to maintain a state of health. If people but knew it, the dandelion can be placed of many kinds that are often used in cooking. Beards furnishing large quantities of mineral substances, the dandelions supply much nutritive value and have a mild laxative tendency, as well as give variability to diet because of its flavor. The dandelion can be prepared in a variety of ways. Miss Anderson and her friends harvest the seeds on grass. Other dishes that are common with this vegetable are dandelion The department of child welfare will furnish all necessary instructions.

One thing must always be remembered to gather dandelions, and that is to cut off the leaves of most of the leaves and delicate portions are lost by pulling the leaves off. The eaves should be thoroughly washed before using. Spring foods are numerous, according to Miss Anderson, and furnish the housewife with a new supply of material for preparation. Among the most desirable vegetables is spinach, spinach dandelions; wattlesnake and with fruit salad; lettuce cooked for greens; romaine, chicory, and endive which also serve as salad plants and may be used for greens; mint, in sauce and jelly; young onions; asparagus or in soup; and radishes, raw or boiled and creamed. "Spring is a time when eating is a pleasure." miss Mary Anderson. "It is a time when everybody should eat every kind of fruit and vegetables obtainable. Vegetables supply that freshness and color which are lacking during the winter months, and restore lost appetite." Y. W. C. A. SECRETARY HERE Miss Inskeep is Dotng Much Personal Conference Work Miss Mildred Inakep, field-secretry of the Y. W. C. A., the headquarters of which is at Denver, came to Lawrence Tuesday morning and will leave Friday noon. While here Miss Mildred does not deal real personal conference work. Tuesday evening she spoke to the Eight Weeks Club, Wednesday she talked to the second cabinet of the Y. W. C. A. on "Cost or Leadership." Miss Inkeen will talk to the first cabinet Thursday evening. At the regular Y. W. C. A. meeting Tuesday afternoon Miss Iinskephe's subject was "College Women as Torch Bearers for Others Who Have Not Had The Opportunity," said Miss Iinskephe, "which the average student does not realize but throws away her most precious possessions and disregards the things that really count. If we would live up to our high ideals, others could be more proud but feel the conditions of the world so that the day will soon come when no college woman will be called a 'non-thinking' snob." "Some of those to whom the college should be a torch bearer," said Miss Inakeen, are: The men and women who died or lost their health during the world war and because of which thousands of children will never be normal because of their life of starvation. Also, to the women of industry who must work under improper conditions and whom we might help through legislation.

S. G. CLARKE The first, La Grammaire, is a one-act force by Eugene Labiche, the most clever writer of French light comedy since Seribe. He has the reputation of having made some great works, but other writer of modern times, and is said to be a sure cure for dyspepsia. The plot hinges upon the fact that Cabanuss, an ambitions rich merchant, is so woefully ignorant of French Grimming that he is entirely dependent on the wrong Biancé for his personal intelligence.
