Who was it comforted our sighs?
Our Mothers.
When things went wrong and some bad how.
Who is it now while we're away

Who now maintain their boys are best.
And oh, so different, from the rest?
We're thanking God we are thus

JOBS GO BEGGING
Searching for a job, the quest of nearly every University student, should present a minimum of difficulty this year. According to the president of the Inter-Racial Council, immigration has dwindled in the past few years and particularly since the armistice was signed to such an alarming degree that there is in America at present a shortage of four million workers. Of course many of the positions open are for unskilled laborers and perhaps would not appeal to persons of education, but there are also many opportunities for skilled workers.
Approximately five times as many male immigrant workers left this country between November, 1918 and October, 1919, as came in during that period, leaving a shortage of labor that is felt most keenly in the iron and steel industry, in the textile industry, on the farms, the railroads, and in all sorts of construction. It estimated that the 214,000 immigrants who left our shores during that period took with them a total of $4,000,000. Despite the fact that the amounts which they took with them become small fortunes when transferred into the depreciated currency of Europe, foreigners are no longer attracted to our shores.
It is generally agreed that the exodus, if continued, will restrict development in the mines and railroads, and prevent the excessive cost of living from being reduced. One labor authority estimates that there are now in this country a million more jobs than there are people to fill them. Another authority contends that the present situation is a result of the general adoption of the eight-hour day which decreased "production man hours."
A repeal of the literacy test for
immigrants is being offered by some authorities as a solution of the problem. They contend that it has never yet kept out an anarchist nor a criminal. But it is generally believed that this mistreatment of foreigners, the colonization for them for profit to the employer is one of the chief reasons for their discontent. If big industry invites five million alliens to these shores, it will have to offer them a chance to become self-respecting citizens and make an attempt to Americanize them.
"OVERWORKED" STUDENTS "American education is softening all along the line and more work by the college student would be better for him."
Perhaps University students who find every minute of their time occupied by term papers, quizzes and additional assignments of instructors will not agree to this statement from an article in the Yale Alumni Weekly. The college vacation is at the base of this article. Secretary Stokes shows by statistics that the summer vacation period has grown in a century from 42 to 105 days. Counting up other vacations, the college suspends its work 153 days in the year and if Sundays are counted it makes 188 days. Students who are completely "swamped" by the hard grind of University life which is practically heavy toward the end of the semester lose sight of the fact that this period is just one half of the calendar year. Those who hold to the present plan base their arguments largely on the better opportunity offered for selfhelp by the students in a long vacation and the necessity for the complete mental relaxation for the faculty after the teaching year. Another favorable argument is the long and unbroken period of leisure for faculty research which it affords. Those who take this point of view believe that much more work should be asked of the student than is now demanded.
To the University instructor who has another and more lucrative vacation occupation, this period during his summer is most valuable for it helps him to eck out the meager salary generally offered in the teaching profession.
OPEN THE MUSEUM
The University is supported by everybody why not give everybody an equal chance to derive its benefits? What we are getting ready to ask? is what good reason is there for not having the Museum open on Sundays now in the spring? In the winter the excuse was given that keeping it open to visitors on Sunday took a great deal of extra fuel. That no longer holds good.
Now is the season of Sunday afternoon noon stroll, and for the man or woman who works all week, the Museum changes the stroll into a real pleasure trip. The Museum to many is the most interesting building on the Hill. The other buildings are but big stone structures containing classroom and rows of chairs. But the Museum has a message that will access to everybody, educated or otherwise. It will make the workingman realize that the University is really interesting and that part of his money is being spent for his own good. If the Museum is a good thing why not share it with everybody?

A leap year proved very successful at Grinnell.

Campus Opinion
Editor, Daily Kansan:
The article in last Friday's Kannan against the proposed sophomore pleading should not go unchallenged, but he asserts that the officials carefully presented the case not from the view of bettering the University or the fraternity, but from the standpoint of one whose main object in the university make and belong to an organization.
The article points out that sophomore piedging might cause confusion to the organizations. This would be manifestly impossible for more than one year at most. In a large school there are always enough good candidates in that no trouble from this source could possibly arise.
The argument for the retention of freshmen pledging on account of lack of dorditories is entirely beside the point. If students are not be blindly selected no matter what housing conditions prevail. Would the writer argue that since there is no modern stadium here that any athletic team can play in it, would a period of training and try-outs?
Saying that, sophomore pledging would be a Jolt to University traditions is hardly reasonable when it comes to the use of sex implied by parents and directly from the conservative powers over the University. It seems that the elimination of all semblance of bhood in junior colleges is not only the fraternity and curtailment of fraternity worship on the part of freshmen who have not been in college en virium must work toward the best opportunities of both University and fraternity.
Should we (metaphorically speaking) use the microscope in picking out our moral flaws? No one denies the value of the microscope in the image, but it could be used to carry the idea over into our ethical thinking? Take for example the "borrowing" of pens and pencils. A small thing indeed yet one which is so common that it becomes quite noticeable. A typhoid germ can be seen with a pen eye yet multiplied many times it will make itself known very quickly.

And the moral of it is: Watch your step. A step does not take you far but a few of them will show in which direction you are going.
Editor, Daily Kansan:
As we come back to tighten up our mental belt for the last uphill pull until June, one wonders just what its all about—just generally what we are good for. Which involves problems specific to us, which is not specifically. Specifically, where we are going has been a problem that has puzzled mankind for many eras, but, generally speaking, we are working toward a constant betterment.

In this connection, Ingersoll's philosophy, "To do good is the only hope of doing good," will be forecast that it nets results. Everyone can formulate a happy philosophy; happy for ourselves and for

Greater X-ray Service through Research
FOR years after the discovery of X-rays it was evident that only intensive research could unfold their real possibilities.
Meanwhile, scientists of the General Electric Company developed the process of making vrought tungsten. This proved ideal as the target in X-ray tubes and its use for this purpose soon became universal.
Then further research resulted in the development of an X-ray tube of a radically new type — the Coolidge Tube — with both electrodes of wrought tungsten and containing the highest attainable vacuum.
But the complication of high-vacuum pumps made the new tube in large
quantities impossible. The answer to this problem was the Langmuir Concentration Pump, utilizing mercury vapor in operation and almost automatic.
to meet the need for simple X-ray apparatus during the war, the G-E Laboratory developed the Self-Rectifying Coolidge Tube, which made possible portable outage at the front of the battlefield and soiff it is so small it can be taken conveniently to the home or to the bedside in the hospital.
**exhibition**
**type** Thus the Research Laboratory of the General Electric Company continues that process in things electrical, and must continue for the good of humanity.
