THAT KANSAS BAND
MONDAY, MARCH 21, 1921
K. U.'s. Band is an example of a Hill organization that is always willing to sacrifice for its Alma Mater.
The year round, in football, basketball, track and baseball seasons, the band is always right there, putting in time and effort to help along the team.
As an up-to-date example of the bonds genniness and loyalty, one has to consider what it did for its University last week end. Thursday night it played for the opening of the basketball tournament in Robinson gym. Friday afternoon it went to Kansas City, the band members paying half of their own fares, to play for the track meet at Convention Hall. Saturday night it played again for the state high school basketball tournament in the gym.
“MEN'S HEARTS AND—”
A band members' time is worth just as much as any students time, and a little more, in many cases. The spirit with which the leader and his musicians consistently back the University in all events is worthy of official University recognition.
The old adage that "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach," is about to be broken, in Japan, if the women of the Flowery Kingdom put across the measures which they are submitting to the Diet. They are about to establish prohibition in that country, or at least temperance.
Just how the next generations of women are to get husbands when the masculine population have the road to their hearts cut off, is problematic. With a dry country and the men hearts closed up, the women of Japan should carefully consider the steps they are about to take. The object of all women of course is to get married, be they Japanese or American.
But even taking into count that the women of Nippon are apt not to get married, the men do not want to sit by and confidently expect Fate to carry on their propaganda. Women are in the habit of getting what they want—just how they do it has been the cause for wonderment for those of the masculine gender for many centuries. By adopting some of the methods of "Pussyfoot" and other great and near-great reformers of the world, the ladies of the kimono country maq make an indentation on the armor of old J. Barleycoot's kingdom in the East.
So watch your step, Mr. Jap, and keep an eye open for the opening barrage by the femininity of the island country.
ELECTRICALS' DAY
April 7 has been set aside by the electrical engineers as the date of celebration for the annual Electrical Engineers' Day. This year Electrical Engineers' Day has excited more interest, not only in the School of Engineering but all over the Hill, than
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
was exhibited even previous to the war. This very fact is significant in itself. It means that the Engineers are back in their old time form and doing things.
They are seeking to arouse interest in their own school by some, unified action and their cause may be lauded. There is more than the mere learning of a profession at school and the engineers are making efforts to cultivate the true spirit of good fellowship and co-operation in their work.
NEW-FASHIONED THIEVES
W-FASHIONED THIEF
Arrived, the airplane thief. A gentleman in Kansas City reports to the police department the loss of his Curtiss plane, "capable of doing sixty miles an hour, with a ninety horse-power motor," which he left standing in a field, and returned to find it gone. The owner has not the slightest idea as to what course the thief has taken. According to reports, the police at first thought of putting bloodhounds on the scent, but were at a loss to find canines that could flop their wings and fly. A search for tracks was also made, according to Mr. Eye-witness, but evidently the airplane left no traces as it warted through the ozone. Detective forces, of course, will be set on the trail. Rumer has it that they will be equipped with Pocket Bertha, a new type of air-rifle which has the range and accuracy of the late seventy-six mile batteries that bombarded Paris from their mountings on the shores of the Rhine. With those pocket air-rifles, the detectives hope to pull down the offender if they come upon him trying to fly away with the loot.
Once the villain is caught, he will be sued for robbery in the highest degree, as it is itself evident that he went higher in enshilling his vile crime than any criminal has yet gone in the annals of lootdom.
The air-plane thief is here. But how to deal with him—that is the question.
ON FACULTY GARDENS
Taking a part of their inadequate salaries, many of the faculty members have bought a variety of seeds and planted gardens. Taking more from these same inadequate salaries they have brought the tools that are necessary for proper garden cultivation.
During these balmy days, these professors and instructors may be found stirring the soil in their back yards. While the descending sun shoots its parting rays in golden bars across the twilight tinted sky, and while the purple haze of evening rises to announce the coming night, our educators are whistling and singing, as with shinging hoes they pulverize the obstinate clods.
When sombre night blots out the crimson tints in the western sky, the faculty members put away the instruments of toil and retire to the studies. There, as the hours of night slip by, they grade our papers and prepare the work for the coming school day. Professors! A state legislature may not appreciate you, but we do. Our hats are off to you, who, for the love of your great work, never say die. May your radiashes be touched by the wand of spring, and may your potatoes bloom and prosper.

"IT ARE ME"
Whatever diasponas of horror is wrenched from Oxford and Cambridge by the Chicago ukase legitimizing "It is me" and "He don't," the ancient monitors of purport English have endured for centuries the apocalyptic apples and vulgar verses by some of the greatest figures in literature.
In the authorized and revised versions of the Bible appear: "And now abideth love, hope, charity, these three;" "Where moth and rust doth consume," "In a wound breath, length, and depth, and height;" "Out of the same..."

Byron: "To rive what God and Turk and Time hath spared."
Milton: "Both dead and I am found eternal."
Kipling: "The tumult and the shout ing dies."
Had all these writers and many others, a glamorous blind-spot on their brains? asks John o' London's Weekly, in its current number. This astute writer contributes to "an odd and humbling discussion" with the following:
"Were they—the masters of expression—united by a common search after something in the alchemy of language above rules of grammar? I (John o' London) think they were. I think they used a singular verb with a plural nominative for a purpose, and that the reader who has taste and perception can see their aim and approve the means. I suggest that the following proposition might be more appropriate. The singular verb is more intense than the plural verb . , "Thine is the kingdom and the power and the clark." Here
$be$ is superior to $are$ because it supposes by驭化邦the attribution, of a single thing—the all—not merely that $are$ represents the kingdom. To say, "Thine are the kingdom, the power, and the glory" is less comprehensive; it savors or enumeration.Enumeration suggests the ability to have power without it. It is a worker ascription."
Very interesting, and no doubt correct. It is not necessary to blush when approving or in our common English language. Our racial control over it is quite as strong as theirs, possibly strong, since we are greater in numbers and more—well, peripatetic. In the end we shall probably do far more to guide the development of the language than they. Certainly this land has not possessed a hardened pastures in corrug pastures as have the provinces of England, where dialects of shires have so hardened, due to an avoidance of litterarity, that neighboring county folk sometimes find it difficult to understand one another.

Charlie Chaplin in "THE KID"
—has taken a partner in the fun business. It's Jackie Coogan, the Kid. They're the greatest combination of mith-makers who ever got together; and the laughs that Charlie maybe overlocks come fresh and snappy from the kid. And would you believe us if we told you that here and there, through the six great reels of the biggest comedy the world has even seen, there's a sob. It's a fact—and that's what makes the laughter bigger still.
