The Daily Kkanan aims to pique curiosity in young students of the University of Kannan, to go forward in standing for the means to be able to operate orients; to be clean, to be cheerful out- to leave more serious problems to the rest of its ability to serve the best of its ability.

LAWRENCE POLITICS
In another column of the Kan萨 will be found a poetic endeavor by one of the campard bards. Inasmuch as the effects of the first snow storm of the summer will soon be gone, there is likely to be much inspiration for spring poetry. To accommodate those who wish to bare their souls to the public through the medium of verse, the Kan萨 will be glad to publish any worthy attempts. Names will be published or withheld, as the author's conscience directs.
In this issue of the Kanas will be found a statement by George L. Kreeck, mayor of Lawrence and candidate for re-election regarding the accomplishments of the city administration during his incumbency. The Kanas is not publishing Mr. Kreeck's statement because of any partnership in the Lawyer majority contest, and the columns of the paper are open to Mr. Kreeck's opponent.
There are a number of University students who are eligible to vote at the Lawrence election and a survey of the situation is perhaps advisable. Students are of all residents of Lawrence, and they should be interested in the conduct of its municipal affairs.
From the institution out at Manhattan known as the state agricultural college comes the interesting announcement that the men folks are being initiated into the intricate secrets of domestic science. It is presumed the women are creating a furor by their efforts to enroll in the courses in veterinary surgery.
MORE TENNIS COURTS
The mental strain of academic work, unless relieved by judicious physical recreation, is bound to end in weak, anemic students who usually ferment at the age of thirty and become confirmed invalids or cranks in search of a panacca to restore their lost youth.
During the basketball season the courts were occupied every available minute of the day by students eager to play basketball. The lack of facilities limited the number to a pitiful few who benefited thereby.
Since the warm weather is near at hand, however the lack of space can no longer be an excuse for the limited numbers. All of God's out-of-doors is available for tennis. The one drawback at present is the lack of tennis courts upon which to play. The University has quite a number of courts, but at the present time only two near McCook Field are in any condition to be played upon.
At the earliest moment the remaining courts should be repaired and about ten or twelve more constructed. Then from one to two hundred eager students could play to their hearts content daily. There is no doubt but that their attitude in the classroom
would be more alert and their general outlook on life brighter if they could work off their surplus energy and inhale a quantity of fresh air in wholesome out-of-door games.
Let us see a program to get more students interested in recreation and sport by increasing the number of courts and keeping them in repair and then by inter-class and inter-organizations tournaments and contests.
WHAT MADE HIM GREAT
The birds, the trees, the flowers,
and all that is beautiful in nature, lost
a friend early yesterday morning
when John Burrowdies died.
Burnough was a great man, and he found greatness where only too few of us would think to look for it. He became great because he was able to listen to the song of the birds, to look at the moss on the root of a tree and to feel the dampness of the dew on the fields and interpret them to fit the ways of the great, sordid commercial are in which we lived.
Mr. Burroughs had a great many followers in his life of nature study, but it is unfortunate that he had not more of them. Were the nation onedowed with the fine appreciation of nature that was John Burroughs', there would be a lot more music in life. There would not be room for the causes of social unrest, of class domination, or of political corruption. It would be a decidedly different old world.
The robin would do well to include a plaintive tone in his song tday.
Mental Lapses
Every time an ex-brewer loses all hope, and becomes resigned to fate, someone attacks the validity of the Bone Dry Amendment.

The Grind, the Sport and the Moral

There was once a Sophomore named Roffs,
Who always was kidding his Proffs,

Ittal Luke, A. B.176 is a captain in the coast artillery stationed in Paris and assigned to grave registration work. Before entering the army, he was a lieutenant in S. Carnegie which was then making experiments in the South Sea Islands.

A certain student rather started those familiar with history and science yesterday when he remarked that Queen Elizabeth made ascension in 1558. As the lady in question did not die that year, it is barely possible that the student meant a balloon ascension.
Mr. August Selig of the State Geological Survey will leave Thursday for Tampico, Mexico, where he will work on projects for the Cortez Oil Corporation.
Slosson, we figure, must come from this part of the country, as he dedicates this volume to his first teacher in the University of Kansas and his last teacher in the University of Chicago.
Fancy a man like this present writer who knows nothing on earth about chemistry sitting down to read this volume, not only with deep interest, but with fascination and laughter. Fact!
Says he, "Columbus was looking for India when he ran into an obstacle that proved to be America; William Henry Perkul was looking for quiine when he blundered into that rich country—covered country—the aniline dye."
Then he adds, 'a man may not find what he is looking for, but he never finds anything unless he is looking for something',
He shows how discoveries in all ages have shot at the gander and killed the goose.
public; and the chapters on coal tar colors, medicine, and the like are equally interesting.
It is interesting to learn that the word "nillin," applicating to all kinds of dyes, is derived from the Arabic or indigine; anil, that is, "blue stuff."
You get actually excited when you read of the race between Parkin and the German chemists, after years of investigation, to get their patents into the office about each other, and how Parkin was beaten by 26 others, think.
'Sounds and sights may be disagreeable, but they are never fatal, and man canlive in the boiler factory, or in the cubist art gallery, but he cannot live in a room containing sulfide.'
Then you learn, perhaps for the first time, that of your five senses three are physical and two are chemical. Smell and tastes are chemical.
He makes you sit up and think when he declares that applied sciences accomplish a rival democracy and capitulates have failed to establish.
Oh. it is all intensely interesting,

On Other Hills
According to the Daily Iowan, fully one-half of the students at the state university are either wholly or partially self supporting. About one-third of the students work consisting of typewriting, bookkeeping, central housework, library work, and caring for children. Many more men work their way through than do women; most of them who has charge of the employment bureau for the university.
The Wakeley Foundation at Obi State University, in realization of the needs of 2200 Methodist students enrolled at the University propose to erect a five-story Methodist Hall, valued at $300,000. The foundation expects to raise the building fund 'brough private gifts.'
The building will serve as a sofa, center, all administrative headquarters and as a dormitory for co-eds.

Lois Wilson, Lila Lee, Jack Holt and Conrad Nagel Under the kiss of magic moonlight, the warm night called to love. And here were these two, alone. She, the friend of his wife—unhappy because her honey-moon romance had faded. He, the friend of her husband; yet now, in one mad moment. A story that hurls the instincts of ages into the midst of modern conventions and cleanses them all with living fire.
