THE OLD
Today the war-president of America vacates his office. For the past eight years the affairs of the government have been managed by the man who leaves his chair today and becomes a private citizen.
The past eight years of Woodrow Wilson's life have been crowded with the events which have marked the history of the United States. And today as he leaves his position as the first man of his land, his is not as happy a leaving as it might have been. Whether history will give Woodrow Wilson a seat beside Washington and Lincoln, only time will tell. Will the nation forget the sore spots that have caused the downfall of the Wilson administration? There are reasons to believe it will, and there are reasons to believe that such will always be remembered.
However we consider Woodrow Wilson at the present time, America cannot but give him credit. And though there is little comparison between the last Lincoln administration, and that of President Wilson, it remains a fact that both administrations had great opposition and there was adverse feeling in the minds of many of the people. Abraham Lincoln died a martyr; Woodrow Wilson is leaving office broken in health and with public opinion against him. Both of these great American leaders gave their best of life to the same cause, and in doing this both should be rewarded with appreciation.
Our nation cannot fail to credit the passing president duly, and cannot forget what he gave to our cause.
THE NEW
Today Warren G. Harding becomes the twenty-ninth president of the United States, America welcomes his coming. He has the spirit of a nation back of him. He is a capable leader. He will be a capable president.
Yet with the coming of the new president, there is also the realization that President Harding has an enormous task before him during the next four years. He has many and gigantic problems to solve and situations to meet. He, too, must be a hero, for America. Yet he comes into the presidency with physical vitality, which the passing president does not possess. He comes with mental alertness, and realization that his is not a small task to perform or position to fill. And he is ready to give his best to the fulfillment of his obligations, just as other presidents have been. It would be impossible to predict the outcome of the Harding administration. Whatever comes about, it is not likely that the new president will have the chance to occupy the position that Wilson had, and yet perhaps failed fully to gain that position.
The new administration must give the nation a new life. It must create a new vitality in business and in so-
ial relations. It must revolutionize the country and industrially. It must give the nation a new international outlook. For all of this, the people of the United States welcome the new president, and stand united in meeting the problems of today with a master hand.
DIRECTORIES AGAIN?
There are six hundred student directories still unsold. Does this mean that the students are going to jeopardize the publication of next year's student directories by their failure to purchase this year's supply?
Unless enough are sold to pay this year's deficit we will have no direc- tory next year.
SMELL OF POWDER
"Painting the lily" wouldn't be a bad thing for bibles. But in most cases the beautiful flowers have no need of artificial coloring. True, most people appreciate Shelley's Lark more than the lark that is, this minute, in the back yard, but the hand of man—or woman—is not usually necessary to completely satisfy the aesthetic sense. All this is introducing an arrangement of a modern evil. Powder. Rouge. Ah, you say, some moralist is again at work seeking to storm the fortress of feminine beauty. But no, you are wrong; powder, in itself, is not too bad. Cosmetics, properly applied and of the right color and intensity, heighten the prettiness of any pretty woman.
Yes, that is not the evil. The greatest problem facing the young women is where to rouge—not how much. Every day, students and instructors see young women engaged in using rouge during the class hour. This, to quote the immortal Qixote, is not as it should be. There is something wrong in rougedom.
Yet it isn't the reported drastic measures of the Vassar college women—old clothes, stringy hair, shiny noses—that the man or the University of Kansas would like to see. Nor, far from it, K, U, men like their co-equipants to be as fair as possible, but at the same time they hate to watch the process of beautification, particularly in the class room and on the street. Men like to be fooled—get up in time to adjust that copulation before you go on the Hill—and every man will be only too glad to think that Nature was the skillful painter, even though his common sense might be inclined to doubt that those special carmine and white tints are in Nature's palette.
ARE YOU A BOOSTER?
Are you a supporter of the Lindley administration? Do you believe in the New Era for K, U?
administration? Do you believe in the New Era for K, U?
The first great opportunity for every student to show his loyalty and support for Chancellor Lindley and the New Era has come. The University is passing through critical days, and the Chancellor is experiencing his first great success or defeat, whichever the final outcome may be. The center of greatest concern for K, U today is the action of the Kansas Legislature, concerning the appropriation for the Kansas educational institutions.
Chancellor Lindley has made his appeal to the loyal student of the University. He has asked your aid, He needs the support of the student body one hundred per cent strong. He is giving his best efforts to make the University of Kansas, a new institution to him, yet an institution dear to him, an institution that Kansas might be proud of. He has instituted thatigger spirit on Mount Oread that and will make the New Era possible. And now the acid test for the student body of K. U, has come. Kansas cannot afford to lose. The student body can not see Kansas go down to defeat.
Then let's show our loyalty for the Chancellor and to our school. Let's give the best that we have, and stand back of Chancellor Lindley to the person. The least that we can do is to comply with the Chancellor's request that each student write to his or her representative in the state legislature. If you were ever a booster for K. U., be a booster now.

VICE PRESIDENT MARSHALL
That mallow and mage young individual, Thomas Riley Marshall, began to enjoy Friday afternoon the deserved vacation and repose fw which he has long yearned. "For eight years," he said serenely, "he has seen in the cave of the winds. I need a rest." In spite of that realistic description of the Senate, he has made himself liked and respected as its presiding officer. He has been impartial, alert, urbane, his humor, his sound sense, his courtesy and his entire lack of self-importance. He has treasured him. He has played perfectly the difficult and self-effacing part of the Vice President. His behavior was tactful and correct during Mr. Wilson's absence and illness. To maintain good and loyal relations with the President is the traditional hardest task of the Vice President. Mr. Wilson has been no echo. He has expressed his own opinions and principles at proper times and places.
He has grown steadily in public estimation. While, like the rest of us he sometimes speaks unwisely, his usual tone is one of almost Frames shows tone by emphasizing. Sometimes he speaks right out in meeting, as when he told the Virginia Ber Association, that if the Senate had considered prohibition in executive session, not twenty Senators would have voted for it. His politics principle, if they look pal葵色 this hurried age, are those on wilted heads. He serves in the army or representative democracy. He dares talk to about State rights and local self-government and the turpuration of the General Government. He would have the thousands of superfluous Fedral offices that clutter up Washington removed. He is a genuine old fashioned j dernom Democrat. Perhaps he should be good wisher of being sincere. He is going to the Pacific Coast and then to Europe. The host luck go with him! He is a good fellow, a good Democrat, a good Amor

ONE OF THOSE SHOCKS WHICH EVERY FAMILY MUST NERVE USEFULLY TO MEET
ITSELL TO MEET
I had found her
In a room—alone
And beads of prespiration
Steal out on my forehead
As what I saw
There she stood calmly
With a little shiny thing
Ocean tights between her eyes.
Blindly I rushed
Into the other room
And called her sisters
We all rushed into the crater
Horror written on our feet
With a strength
Born of despair
I tried to shout,
Give her a warmig,
Oceans kind.
My nerve failed me,
I couldn't tell her,
Her sisters with tears in their eyes
Fell into each other's arms
And muttered: "This is awful."
They had reason for regret,
For there stood their stater
With that little shiny thing
Right between her eyes,
Forces her forward.
Forgot to powder her nose—Briam Young U. "White and blue."
BOOKS AND OTHER THINGS
It was Charles Lamb who divided printed works into two classes—bibli and abilia, books and books which are not books. In general, these were written spontaneously—because the writer had something which he could not leave usaid and because he had a vast entertaining way of saying it; while the other class included all those which were written, not which were spoken. The latter there existed some merely formal reason for writing them. In the later group the irrelevant Lamb placed the works of Hume, Gibbon, Josephus and Adam Smith—in general, all those books that no gentleman would read. There are two kinds of biographies, those written as a pleasure and those written as a duty. The greatest fallacy of the art is that a man deserves biographical treatment simply because he has filled an important pub of his own interest in one other way. This mistake explains many rows of exceedingly dull books that line all library shelves. Probably every president of the United States has had his formal biography, yet there are only half a dozen whose activities chronicle important and interesting interest. The instinct for tedium which impels some misused grunt to write the "Lives of the Lord Chancellors of England." is the same which leads so many American historians to arrange their lifetimes chronologically in an administrative or a session of congress and calling the dreary result the history
of their country. Sometimes a man who has filled a great place, like Gladstone, becomes also an appropriate subject for a great biography, such as that of Sir Robert Bannister, the many prime ministers of England. The reason is that biography, despite the aphorism already quoted, is not history; it is a special art of its own—the portraiture of people in history. A man not particularly notable for his achievements or influence on events may be an ideal subject for biography, simply because as a man, he is extremely worth while—World's Greatest.
HIPPOPOTAMUS COY BEAST
Pitfalla are dug for the hippopotamus, which has the habit of allowing its young to trot along in front of it, instead of behind, so that it can walk open to any danger to its offspring.
The young creature appears to vanish into the earth through the branches which cover the pit, and the terrified mother turns and bolts. Then, always supposing that he can climb up the mountain, the leopard strips its bones, the hunter has his work cut out to get the weighty youngster out of the pit. A noose is passed over the neck and the forelegs, and the legs are bound securely together. Then a sloping pathway is duced out of the pit and the baby hippo, a mammal known as a pup, is placed upon to snot litter through the bush to the nearest river, where it continues its journey on a native barge.
The hippopotamus is malleable and dangerous from the day of its birth, and becomes reconciled to captivity only after many months—Detroit
ANCIENTS ATE FLOWERS
The use of edible flowers was well known to the ancients, and from the earliest time the violet, especially, has formed one of the greatest confectionery delicacies, and with the extract of this flower was made a sharer deodorant. The violet is delicious. In some regions of Eastern Europe it is the custom today to mix violets, roses and limes with sweetmeats in order to add a floral structure to the taste of the fruit. In Turkey sweets are of carnations, lilies and lavender. Floral sandwiches are also grown. Grapefruit with mustardtins, a most edible flower, which grows in warm and temperate climates in profusion, Sandwiches are also made of peppermint, finely ground and spread over thinly albed radiihes between even more thickly sliced and buttered potatoes. It is said that the violet is an excellent food, though somewhat aerial.
In the kitchens of China and Japan flowers are as much in use as vegetables in the preparation of rice dishes. In these countries a cook is said to be able to prepare an entire banquet made exclusively of stock made from special flowers—Detroit News.
FACTORY FOR WOMEN ONLY
One feature of present day industrialism is the struggle waged by skilled male labor against unskilled, women. In the feminine invasion of the workshop brought about by the war. By way of reply, some women have started an all-women factory as an experiment in a well known British company to be operated exclusively by women.
The beginning is on a small scale, and it is hoped to run the venture on a co-partnership basis, but the general terms are strictly business with no philanthropy about. Among them is the consignment of hosiery needles and the other for machinery parts of a new type of pump; and if we can judge from the excellent work which women did in munition factories during the war, there seems no valid reason why they should be given as satisfaction as he/she should not give satisfaction.
NOTHING SURPRISING
"Oh, Gus, just think!" exclaimed little Mrs. Kiddiet to her bachelor brother who had been away for some weeks. "The baby can walk," she said. "somewhat myisted y her elation. "So—er—can I?" Country Gentleman.
At all events the appearance of such an enterprise as this is timely, and should occasion serious thought in that section of labor which had hone to kill dilution. With present-day machine tool dilution is inevitable, and anything bringing recognition of the face is to be welcomed.
