STUDENTS QUESTIONED ON SCHOOL EXPENSES
Will Receive Questionaires to Fill Out for Sake of Catalog
Each student in the University will receive a questionnaire soon which he will be expected to fill out and send in to the registrar's office. Registrar George O. Foster desires the cooperation of every student as he considers the needs of state what the students of the University of Kansas are doing.
"We want to prove that our students are not loafers, and we also want to be in position to give in the information that actual student expenses," the questionaire reads. "Here is another chance to cooperate vitally in combating some misinformation that is being spread with such in certain Kansas communities."
Besides the students expenses account, the questionnaire asks for information concerning the amount of time spent on class work, laboratory work, outside work, and other matters.
Kiss Your Own Wife Is Preacher's Advice
Washington, Jan. 19- "Kiss your own wife, but let your neighbor's wife alone."
Thus spoke the Rev. H. P. Fox, pastor of the Hammell Methodist Episcopal Church, in a red-hot sermon on blue laws. He said:
"The Methodists have no desire to prevent husbands from kissing their wives on Sunday, or any other day of the week, but rather are anxious to keep husbands from kissing other men's wives.
"God is being falsely portrayed by the commercialized forces of evil as a great kill-joy. These evil forces paint the Methodists as people who would have everyone wear a solemn, mournful, smileless face on Sunday.
*Methodists* are by tradition a shouting, joyous, happy people, and God, instead of being a "kill-joy" if one is of joy, happiness and peace of mind.

SLOGAN SEPARATES LOVERS
Postoffice Stamp Letters "Use Pure Bred Sires"
Manhattan, Kan, Jan. 16—(Special) Sure it's a good idea for the farmers on Kansas, but it's a durrd poor stamp for a love letter. Just how would you like to write a letter to your best girl or gentleman friend, and have the postmiss stare stamp on the slogan "Use Purse Bred Sire?"
Well, that is exactly what has happened during the last week to many letters at the Kansas State Agricultural college postoffice. And from all appearances at least three happy romantics have been blasted to sitheremans."
A youth with disheveled hair and the look on his face of one of the Olc Man's own offspring, rushed through Anderson hall. He stopped in front of the postoffice window and with much gesticulation began to voeferate incoherently at the young woman at the window.
He held up a letter and angrily told how after he had written it to "the girl") he had returned to him unopened, accompanied by a biting note infoming him that all communications were now cut off. Across the back of the letter in big letters was stamped: "Use Pure Bred Sires."
Things did not end here for soon two co-eads came up with the same trouble. The first one was evidently worried. With a puzzled look on her face she offered the lady behind the barred window an empty envelope, on which had been placed the old card. You know I didn't put on my letter, you know I didn't? she asked in a trembling voice. "He wrote back and kicked me something awful, and I just can't stand to be kidded." Then the postmistress explained the cause of it all, one of the college departments is co-operating with the farmers through the country in a campaign for pure bred animals and as a means of advertising had some rubber stamps with the phrase "Use Pure Bred Sires" prepared. These were distributed to the county agents of thirty-five counties for the purpose of sending them out to the teachers that they sent out. And one of the stamps was left at the college postoffice.—To who Daily Capital.

REGISTRAR ASKS AID IN NEAR EAST DRIVI
Coin Sack Near University Post Office is For Contributions
George O. Foster, appointed by the Near East Relief Commission as chairman of the work in Douglas County, wishes to call the attention of all students at near the University Post office window for the contribution of anyone disposed to help the starving peoples of the near East. This commission was incorporated by an act of Congress and is working among people in poorer nations and other unfortunate peoples in that quarter of the world.
Although no definite drive has been made on the Hill, the matter has been put up to the towns and communities of the county and liberal offerings have been received. Regis leevenant in the county work, Oscar Mamigron c'23, a native Armenian, who has been visiting neighboring towns and organizing the work, Mr. Mamigron has spoken in several churches in the interests of the people, including compton, Eudora and Baldwin. In Baldwin $1500 in cash and three hundred pounds of clothing were contributed and will be sent to the Near East Relief in New York City, from which place will he be shipped? Leevenant has made liberal contributions.
Registrar Foster suggests that it would be a fine thing for the University students instead of throwing away anything in the line of warm clothing, to bring it to the post office from where it can be sent to the Near East Relief Commission headquarters.

Skating On Potter
For the past two afternoons and evenings, skating parties have been all the go. As if to get the full benefit of the ice before it was all gone, the lake was crowded Tuesday evening, with couples, with men and women clad in well–army uniforms.
"Uh-buh, these rags sure make skating the real thing," confided one putteted damamel to another.
"Yes, but I wouldn't near do this if it was afternoon," said the other. The ice was somewhat soft, and cut up rather badly, but it didn't prevent the long waistband off the ends of their snake formations. In fact the ice dust, cut up by the sharp skates, merely furnished something for the fancy figure-eight-cutters and backward-writing skates that have the expert and sprawned upon the frozen surface of the pond. "Oh! My arms are pulled out of their sockets," complained the fair one who was in the line next to the
"Don't let that worry you," consoled her escort, "you will, no doubt, go red credit for it."
Occasionally a skate came off when the whip was speeding to the far end of the lake. Then a wild scream a sickening slide, a clean strip of ice, and a dozen willing hands trying to put the skate back on, and a dozen more helping the unlucky one to her feet.
But, this morning the skaters have lost hope. P. Conner has changed the weather, and the ice is shuky. "We're going to be over," say the merry ice skaters.
Fire Threats Massachusetts City Worcester, Mass., Jan. 19—Jose threatened the entire downtown section of the city was still burning at 10:15 o'clock this morning, having property estimated at $5,000,000.
The fire started in the Anowies building on Main Street, a seven story brick office structure which covers nearly a block. More than twenty new fires broke out in buildings several months ago, and they have to have been started from flying sparks from the burning Anowies building.
Fine Arts Faculty Members Render Excellent Program
RECITAL IS GREAT SUCCESS
A large and appreciative audience greeted Miss Creola Ford, pianist, on the piano faculty, and Miss Edm Hazelstein, contralto, of the voca faculty, in their recital given it Fraser Chapel, Tuesday night.
Miss Ford displayed remarkable skill throughout her program. The second number, Sherzo in C Sharp Minor, was especially well received. She was accompanied in her second number by Prof. C. A. Preyer on second piano. Two movements were minor.
Miss Ford possesses marked skill in technique and deserves much praise for her ability to execute the movements, according to critics.
Miss Hazeltine has a beautiful contratto voice and succeeded in mellow tones and dramatic air.
The two numbers taken from Carmen were well performed, "the Sandman," written by Professor Moss. The Arts received favorable comments.
This is the fourth of a series of recitals being given by the faculty of the School of Fine Arts.
